Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable installation technology, specifically a modular prefabricated waterproof cable trench. Background Technology
[0002] With the vigorous promotion of green building, prefabricated structures have received considerable attention. Prefabricated cable trenches are a common structure for fixing cables. The cable trenches are prefabricated in the factory and then transported to the construction site for installation. The cable structure dimensions and other related parameters set in the factory must meet the requirements of the design drawings.
[0003] Because substations have large outdoor areas, cable trenches have varying cross-sections and are generally quite long, factories typically prefabricate cable trenches to a fixed length. These trenches are then transported to the site and assembled into a complete trench. Currently, the main splicing methods for prefabricated cable trenches are cast-in-place and socket-type.
[0004] The drawback of existing cable trench technology is that while cast-in-place cable trenches offer greater structural integrity, the unavoidable on-site concrete pouring and curing operations increase the construction period and do not significantly improve efficiency.
[0005] The prefabricated cable trench with its two-section socket connection structure significantly improves construction efficiency. However, in areas with high water levels and heavy rainfall, the poor sealing of the socket connection often leads to water ingress into the cable trench.
[0006] In summary, how to solve the above problems and design a modular prefabricated waterproof cable trench that can shorten the construction period and maintenance costs while solving the problem of water ingress into the cable trench has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by people in this field. Utility Model Content
[0007] This utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to propose a modular prefabricated waterproof cable trench. This waterproof cable trench features an innovative splicing node structure between multiple prefabricated blocks and incorporates waterproofing measures at the splicing points. It is simple and quick to implement, shortening the connection time of the prefabricated cable trench, improving construction efficiency, and enhancing the sealing of the connection surfaces, thereby improving the overall waterproof and corrosion-resistant performance of the cable trench structure.
[0008] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a modular prefabricated waterproof cable trench, comprising multiple prefabricated blocks connected end-to-end with sockets. Each prefabricated block has a U-shaped open-top structure. One end of the prefabricated block has a socket, and the other end has an insertion port. Trench wall embedded parts are cast and fixed on the two vertical inner walls of the prefabricated block. Multiple layers of waterproof strips are laid in the socket groove of the prefabricated block. These multiple layers of waterproof strips are clamped and fixed by the insertion port end of the upper-level prefabricated block and the socket end of the lower-level prefabricated block, and the multiple layers of waterproof strips are flush with the inner wall of the waterproof cable trench.
[0009] Preferably, the depth of the socket end of the precast block is greater than the protrusion length of the spigot end of the precast block, and the gap after the socket end is inserted into the spigot end is filled with multiple layers of waterproof tape.
[0010] Preferably, the multi-layer waterproof strip includes, with reference to the axis of the waterproof cable trench, a layer of asphalt hemp fiber, a water-swellable waterstop strip, and a weather-resistant silicone sealant layer laid radially from the outside to the inside.
[0011] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:
[0012] This utility model discloses a modular prefabricated waterproof cable trench. By opening sockets and insertion ports at both ends of the prefabricated blocks, multiple prefabricated blocks can be spliced end to end. The size difference between the socket end and the insertion end is designed to leave space for laying multiple layers of waterproof tape. By laying asphalt hemp fiber layer, water-swellable water-stop strip and weather-resistant silicone sealant layer from the outside to the inside in the connection gap between the socket end and the insertion end, the problem of water leakage at the joint of the prefabricated blocks in the waterproof cable trench is avoided. Finally, by casting embedded parts for fixing the trench wall on the two vertical inner walls of the prefabricated blocks, it is convenient for subsequent cable bracket installation.

Each prefabricated block has a U-shaped open-top structure. One end of the prefabricated block has a socket 5, and the other end has an insertion port 4. Trench wall embedded parts 2 are cast and fixed on the two vertical inner walls of the prefabricated block.

[0025] To more clearly illustrate the specific implementation of this utility model, an embodiment is provided below:
[0026] This utility model discloses a modular prefabricated waterproof cable trench, which improves the structural waterproofness and corrosion resistance while maintaining the high efficiency of prefabricated cable trench connection (prefabricated block connection). For example... Figure 1-3As shown, each section of the cable trench is 2m long. The ends of the cable trench walls and bottom are equipped with convex and concave sockets and inserts. The ends of each section of the cable trench are designed with one side of the socket protruding outward and the other side of the insert protruding inward. The outer side is 20mm longer than the inner side, which facilitates the sequential installation of asphalt and hemp fiber filling, water-swellable sealing strips, and weather-resistant silicone sealant. The embedded parts in the trench walls of each section of the cable trench are set in two rows, with 3 in each row. One is set in the middle and one is set 0.5m from each end. In this way, when the cable trench is spliced, the spacing of the embedded parts in the trench walls can be 1m, which facilitates the uniform arrangement of cable supports.
[0027] This invention innovates upon the weak points of prefabricated cable trench connections by designing a modular prefabricated waterproof cable trench. Compared to traditional connection processes, by treating the connection nodes, it shortens the connection time of the prefabricated cable trench, improves construction efficiency, and enhances the sealing of the connection surface, thereby improving the waterproof and corrosion-resistant performance of the structure. It is simple, quick, and easy to implement. Furthermore, this invention improves connection efficiency while enhancing the waterproof and corrosion-resistant performance of the nodes, and achieves equidistant arrangement of prefabricated cable trench supports.
[0028] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
