Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0029] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between them; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication between two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0030] The cable management structure and container in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0031] In existing technologies, cables are laid using methods such as cable trays. However, this occupies internal space within the equipment container, and the cables may interfere with equipment and pipelines within the container, which is detrimental to the cable laying process and can easily damage the cables, posing safety hazards.
[0032] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a cable management structure applied to a shipping container. The cable management structure is installed on the top panel of the container. The structure includes a cable trough and a cover plate. The cable trough is embedded in the top panel and has an opening opposite to its bottom, facing the interior of the container. The cover plate covers the opening, and the cover plate and the cable trough cooperate to form a cable routing space. This will be described in detail below.
[0033] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 6 The cable management structure 10 is applied to a container and is installed on the top plate 30 of the container. The cable management structure 10 includes a cable trough 11 and a cover plate 12. The cable trough 11 is embedded in the top plate 30 and has an opening 112 opposite to the bottom 111 of the cable trough 11. The opening 112 faces the inside of the container and the cover plate 12 covers the opening 112. The cover plate 12 and the cable trough 11 cooperate to form a cable routing space 20.
[0034] By setting up the cable tray 11, the cables in the container can be concentrated in the cable tray 11, avoiding the mess of cables, improving the aesthetics and tidiness of the container interior, and facilitating later maintenance and repair. In addition, the cable tray 11 and the cover plate 12 work together to form the cable routing space 20, which can standardize the routing of cables inside the container. The approximate length of the required cable can be estimated based on the length of the cable tray 11, avoiding cable waste, reducing production costs, and concentrating the cables in the cable routing space 20 to avoid interference between the cables and the equipment inside the container, which is conducive to the stable operation of the equipment inside the container and extends the service life of the cables.
[0035] The cable tray 11 is installed on the top plate 30 of the container, which will not affect the assembly of equipment inside the container. When installing equipment inside the container, it is not easy to touch the cable tray 11 installed on the top of the container, which is conducive to improving the service life of the cables in the cable tray 11. In addition, the cable tray 11 is embedded in the top plate 30 of the container, which reduces the space occupied by the cable tray 11 inside the container. Moreover, the cable tray 11 is embedded in the top plate 30, which is conducive to the stability of the cable tray 11 after installation. The top plate 30 has a certain limiting effect on the embedded part of the cable tray 11.
[0036] It is worth mentioning that the opening 112 of the cable tray 11 (the opening 112 opposite to the bottom 111 of the tray) faces the inside of the container, which is beneficial for cable installation. In actual installation, the cable tray 11 is embedded into the top plate 30 and fixed. Since the opening 112 of the cable tray 11 faces the inside of the container, it is convenient to organize and concentrate the cables in the cable tray 11. Finally, the cover plate 12 is placed on the opening 112 of the cable tray 11 to complete the cable organization.
[0037] In some embodiments, the cable tray 11 can also be provided on the side wall 40 of the container, or the cable tray 11 can be provided on both the top plate 30 and the side wall 40 of the container. The arrangement position of the cable tray 11 is selected according to the placement position of the equipment in the container.
[0038] It should be noted that in some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the top plate 30 has a certain thickness ( Figure 3(From a visual perspective, the top plate 30 has a groove cut into it, and the wiring structure 10 is embedded in the groove; in some embodiments, the top plate 30 can also be as follows:) Figure 4 As shown, it is composed of two thin plates arranged opposite each other, but is not limited to this.
[0039] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cable management structure 10 also includes a partition 13, which is disposed at the bottom 111 of the cable tray 11 to divide the cable routing space 20 into a high-voltage space 21 and a low-voltage space 22.
[0040] By setting up the partition 13, the wiring space 20 is divided into a high-voltage space 21 and a low-voltage space 22. As the names suggest, the high-voltage space 21 is used for the wiring of high-voltage cables, and the low-voltage space 22 is used for the wiring of low-voltage cables. It is possible to arrange both high-voltage and low-voltage cables in one cable tray 11 at the same time. The centralized arrangement of high-voltage and low-voltage cables is conducive to improving assembly efficiency. Furthermore, by setting up the partition 13, the interference of the electromagnetic field generated by the high-voltage cables on the signal transmission of the low-voltage cables can be reduced, which is conducive to ensuring the signal quality of the low-voltage cables and will not affect the normal use of the equipment.
[0041] In some embodiments, the width of the high-voltage space 21 is greater than the width of the low-voltage space 22.
[0042] The diameter of high-voltage cables is larger than that of low-voltage cables, requiring more installation space. Therefore, the width of the high-voltage space 21 is larger (greater than the width of the low-voltage space 22), providing more installation space for the high-voltage cables and reducing installation difficulty. Furthermore, because low-voltage cables have a smaller diameter, they are more prone to deformation (bending, tangling, etc. are more likely to occur during installation). A wider low-voltage space 22 would leave more room for deformation and would not effectively restrain the low-voltage cables. Therefore, the width of the high-voltage space 21 being greater than the width of the low-voltage space 22 not only provides more installation space for the high-voltage cables but also effectively restrains the low-voltage cables, preventing deformation and tangling, which is beneficial for later maintenance and repair.
[0043] It should be noted that the width of the high-voltage space 21 and the width of the low-voltage space 22 are within... Figure 2 The left and right dimensions in the field of view.
[0044] See Figure 1 In the extension direction of the wire groove 11, the length of the partition 13 is less than the length of the wire groove 11, and the partition 13 is centrally located.
[0045] Figure 1From a perspective, in the extension direction of the cable tray 11, the partition 13 is horizontally centered (i.e., the partition 13 is positioned in the middle of the left and right directions of the cable tray 11), and the length of the partition 13 is less than the length of the cable tray 11, meaning that there will be gaps at both ends of the partition 13. When laying cables, when the cables enter (or leave) the cable routing space 20, the cables located at the ends of the cable tray 11 may be bent. The partition 13 provides deformation space for the bending of the cables (i.e., the gaps at both ends of the partition 13), preventing the cables from being squeezed by the partition 13 and undergoing severe deformation, which would affect the safety of use.
[0046] In some embodiments, the surface of the cover plate 12 away from the cable tray 11 is flush with the surface of the top plate 30 facing the interior of the container.
[0047] The cover plate 12 and the top plate 30 are flush with the surface facing the inside of the container, which means that after the cable is installed, the top of the container (the inside of the container) can be kept flat. The cable tray 11 and the cover plate 12 will not encroach on the space inside the container, that is, the cable management structure 10 will not protrude from the top plate 30, which is conducive to the arrangement of equipment inside the container.
[0048] It is worth mentioning that the surface of the cover plate 12 facing the inside of the container is flush with the surface of the top plate 30, that is, the cover plate 12 is embedded in the top plate 30. After the cable layout is completed, the top plate 30 has a limiting effect on the cover plate 12 during installation, which is conducive to the stability of the cover plate 12 and improves the assembly efficiency.
[0049] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the cover plate 12 can be connected to the wire groove 11 by means of screws, rivets, etc., which is not specifically limited here. Due to processing errors and other reasons, there may be a slight height difference between the cover plate 12 and the top plate 30, and they are not necessarily perfectly flush.
[0050] See Figure 5 Along the extension direction of the trough 11, the cover plate 12 is divided into a plurality of sequentially arranged mounting sub-plates 121, and electrical equipment can be selectively installed on the side of the mounting sub-plates 121 facing the inside of the container.
[0051] The cover plate 12 includes multiple mounting sub-plates 121, which are spliced together to form the cover plate 12. Dividing the cover plate 12 into multiple mounting sub-plates 121 reduces the weight of each mounting sub-plate 121, thus reducing the labor intensity during installation. At the same time, electrical equipment can be installed on the mounting sub-plates 121 according to usage requirements. When one of the electrical equipment needs to be replaced or repaired, only the corresponding mounting sub-plate 121 needs to be removed to perform maintenance on the electrical equipment without affecting the electrical equipment on other mounting sub-plates 121.
[0052] It is worth mentioning that when electrical equipment is installed on the mounting sub-plate 121, the side of the mounting sub-plate 121 facing away from the electrical equipment is the cable tray 11, which allows the cable to be directly connected to the electrical equipment, reducing the length of the cable and lowering production costs.
[0053] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the electrical equipment includes devices such as smoke detectors, temperature sensors, and lighting devices, but this embodiment does not specifically limit the scope.
[0054] See Figure 6 In some embodiments, the wire groove 11 is located in the middle of the top plate 30.
[0055] The cable tray 11 is located in the middle of the top plate 30, which can take into account all the positions inside the container. The cables on both sides of the cable tray 11 are concentrated in the middle of the container, which can centrally handle the cables (including but not limited to cable laying, wiring, etc.), and the position is reasonably arranged.
[0056] In some embodiments, the wire trough 11 has a mounting portion 114, which is disposed on the side of the wire trough 11 wall 113 away from the bottom 111 of the wire trough 11, and the mounting portion 114 is disposed opposite to the bottom 111 of the wire trough 11; the cover plate 12 is connected to the side of the mounting portion 114 away from the bottom 111 of the wire trough 114.
[0057] The wire trough 11 has two opposing trough walls 113, each of which is provided with a mounting portion 114. In this embodiment, the mounting portion 114 is opposite to the bottom 111 of the trough, that is, the mounting portions 114 on both sides extend towards the middle, which can reduce the size of the opening 112; when the wire trough 11 is installed on the top plate 30, the opening 112 faces downward. Figure 3 (From a perspective) the mounting section 114 can block the cables in the wiring space 20, preventing the cables from falling out of the wiring space 20 due to their own weight during installation, thus affecting assembly efficiency.
[0058] Meanwhile, the cover plate 12 is installed on the mounting part 114, which increases the contact area for the installation of the cover plate 12, which is beneficial to the stability of the cover plate 12 after installation.
[0059] It is worth mentioning that the connection between the cover plate 12 and the mounting part 114 can be achieved by screw connection, riveting connection, or other connection methods, which are not specifically limited here.
[0060] In some embodiments, there may be two cable trays 11 arranged in an L-shape, depending on the needs of the equipment inside the container, and not limited to this.
[0061] On the other hand, this application also relates to a container, including any of the aforementioned cable management structures 10.
[0062] The technical solution provided in this application aims to concentrate the cables in the container within the cable tray 11, avoiding cable clutter, improving the aesthetics and tidiness of the container interior, and facilitating later maintenance and repair. Furthermore, the cable tray 11 and the cover plate 12 together form a cable routing space 20, which standardizes the cable routing within the container. The approximate length of the required cable can be estimated based on the length of the cable tray 11, avoiding cable waste and reducing production costs. Concentrating the cables in the routing space 20 prevents interference between the cables and the equipment inside the container, promoting stable operation of the equipment and extending the cable's lifespan. The cable tray 11 is located on the top plate 30 of the container, so it does not affect the assembly of the equipment inside the container, and it is less likely to be touched when installing equipment inside the container. Additionally, the cable tray 11 is embedded in the top plate 30 of the container, reducing its space occupation within the container, and its embedding in the top plate 30 contributes to the stability of the cable tray 11 after installation.
