Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable support technology, specifically to a cable placement rack. Background Technology

[0002] Existing multi-layer cable racks mostly have fixed support plates and columns for each layer. When laying cables, the cables need to be laid through each layer. The laying of cables in the lower layer is restricted by the support plates of the upper layer, which makes the process cumbersome, inefficient, and the stacking is messy, making it inconvenient to find cables. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cable rack in order to solve the technical problems existing in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: According to one aspect of this application, a cable rack is provided, comprising: uprights and support units, the uprights being distributed on both sides of the support units to form a first-side upright and a second-side upright respectively; the support units are used to separate and support cables, and at least two support units are provided; at least two support units are arranged in an upper and lower structure on the first-side upright and the second-side upright; the first side of the support unit is rotatably connected to the first-side upright; and the second side of the support unit is detachably connected to the second-side upright.

[0005] The cable placement rack provided in this application innovatively adopts a rotatable connection method between its support unit and the column. Specifically, the first side of the support unit is rotatably connected to the first-side column, and the second side of the support unit overlaps with the second-side column. This new connection method allows the upper support unit to be rotated from a horizontal to a vertical direction when laying the lower layer of cables, making room for the laying of the lower layer of cables, avoiding obstruction of the cable laying on the lower support unit, and improving the efficiency of cable laying.

[0006] In one possible implementation, the support unit includes: A support plate, wherein a first side of the support plate is rotatably connected to a first-side column, and a second side of the support plate is detachably connected to a second-side column; Multiple partitions are disposed on the support plate along the extension direction of the cable. In this solution, by setting multiple partitions, the cables disposed on the support plate are individually separated, which can both secure each cable and avoid messiness. Moreover, by setting the partitions, each cable can be separately supported, or two or more cables can be separately supported, which facilitates efficient management of different cables.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the support plate has at least two connection holes, each connection hole including a slot arranged along the extension direction of the cable, and the partition is movably connected to the support plate through the slot. Each connection hole may have multiple slots, which may extend through the support plate along its thickness direction or not. Multiple slots make the partition's insertion plate more stable.

[0008] A further technical solution is to set several holes on the support plate. While ensuring structural strength, the holes can reduce weight, save production costs and facilitate assembly. In addition, they can also provide ventilation, which is very effective in meeting the heat dissipation needs of the cables.

[0009] In one possible implementation, several ventilation holes extending along the thickness direction are provided on the partition. The ventilation holes can increase the heat dissipation effect. The ventilation holes of adjacent partitions are arranged in strips and are positioned opposite each other, which can further increase the airflow velocity and flow rate, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0010] In one possible implementation, protective plates are provided on both sides of the support plate along the cable's extension direction to protect the cable on the support plate. Optionally, small obliquely cut round holes can also be provided on the protective plates as heat dissipation holes, thus serving both a protective function and a heat dissipation effect.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the multiple connection holes are arranged in parallel, and at least some adjacent connection holes are at the same or different distances. Having the same or different distances between adjacent connection holes allows cables of different thicknesses to be arranged on the same support plate, greatly improving practicality and further expanding the application scenarios.

[0012] In one possible implementation, two adjacent support plates can be connected along the cable's extension direction via a first connector. This cable tray design not only increases the number of support plate layers vertically but also increases the length of a single support plate layer horizontally.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the first side of the support unit is rotatably connected to the first-side column via a second connector; the second side of the support unit is detachably connected to the second-side column via a support bar. The second connector is a pin or a bearing-loaded shaft. Using a bearing-loaded shaft makes the support plate rotate more smoothly and also reduces noise.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the support bar is disposed on the column on the second side, and the position of the support bar is opposite to the position of the second connector, so that when the support plate is detachably connected to the support bar through the second connector, the support plate is in a horizontal or nearly horizontal state.

[0015] In one possible implementation, of at least two of the support units, the first side of the lowermost support unit and the second side of the support unit are fixedly connected to the columns of the first and second sides, respectively. The fact that both sides of the support plate are fixedly connected by bolts can improve the overall structural strength.

[0016] In one possible implementation, both the column and the support unit are made of insulating material, or the surfaces of the column and the support unit are covered with a protective layer made of insulating material. Using insulating material or adding a protective layer made of insulating material can eliminate the risk of leakage when the cable's insulation is damaged due to wear or other reasons.

[0017] The beneficial effects that a cable rack disclosed in this application may bring include, but are not limited to: The cable rack provided in this application has a novel structure and strong practicality. Each layer of support unit can support multiple cables separately, avoiding the situation of messy cable stacking and making the cables arranged in an orderly manner.

[0018] Meanwhile, the connection between the support unit and the column in this application is also innovative, with one side being rotatable and the other side being detachable. When laying the lower layer cable, the upper support unit is rotated to avoid obstructing the laying of the lower layer cable and improve the laying efficiency of the cable.

[0021] Various exemplary embodiments, features, and aspects of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote elements that have the same or similar functions. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, they are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated otherwise.

[0022] It should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", and "circumferential" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model or simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0023] The cable rack provided by this utility model can be used in production workshops, computer server rooms, power supply equipment rooms of hydropower stations, etc. In fact, the cable rack is not only suitable for laying and placing cables, but also for optical cables, cables, etc.

[0024] Figure 1 A perspective view of a cable rack according to an embodiment of this application is shown; Figure 2 This shows a front view of a cable rack according to an embodiment of this application; Figure 3 A top view of a cable rack according to an embodiment of this application is shown.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a cable rack includes: uprights 1 and support units; the uprights 1 are distributed on a first side and a second side; the support units are used to separate and support multiple cables. In this embodiment, four support units are provided; the four support units are arranged in an upper and lower structure between the uprights 8 on the first side and the uprights 9 on the second side; the first side 10 of the support unit is rotatably connected to the upright 8 on the first side; the second side 11 of the support unit is detachably connected to the upright 9 on the second side. It should be noted that the detachable connection between the second side 11 of the support unit and the upright 9 on the second side includes overlapping, snap-fit, or fastening. The following describes overlapping in detail, while other connection methods such as snap-fit ​​and fastening are also conventional connection structures. They can be achieved by configuring corresponding functional components on the second side 11 of the support unit and the upright on the second side, which will not be elaborated on here.

[0026] The connection method between the support unit and the column 1 in this embodiment abandons the traditional fixing method. Instead, it innovatively adopts a method in which the first side 10 of the support unit is rotatably connected to the first side column 8, and the second side 11 of the support unit is overlapped with the second side column 9. This new connection method allows the upper support unit to be rotated from the horizontal direction to the vertical direction parallel to the column 1 when laying the lower layer cable, and can even be rotated to the outside of the column 1. This avoids obstructing the cable laying on the lower support unit, making the operating space more extensive when laying the cable on the support frame and improving the cable laying efficiency.

[0027] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the support unit of each layer can individually support multiple cables, improving visibility and increasing the efficiency of locating cables using the numbers on the cable identification tags, thus facilitating daily maintenance and repair. At the same time, it also avoids the situation of messy cable stacking, ensuring that the cables are arranged in an orderly manner.

[0028] It should be noted that the number of columns 1 on each side can be set according to the actual working conditions. For example, when the length of the support unit is short, two columns 1 are needed on each side. When the length of the support unit is long, several columns 1 can be added between the two columns 1 at the end of each side to ensure the overall stability of the cable placement rack structure.

[0029] Meanwhile, in order to eliminate the risk of leakage when the cable is damaged due to wear and other reasons, both the column 1 and the support unit in this embodiment are made of insulating materials. The insulating materials can be plastics, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), etc.

[0030] Of course, the surfaces of the column 1 and the support unit can also be covered with a protective layer made of insulating material. Specifically, this can be rubber, insulating varnish, or insulating paper, etc. Rubber includes natural rubber and synthetic rubber, which have good elasticity and insulation properties and are widely used in the insulating components of electrical equipment. Insulating varnish can form a uniform insulating film on the surface of the column 1, improving insulation performance.

[0031] In some embodiments, the number of support units can be adjusted according to the actual working conditions. For example, when the number of cables that need to be supported increases, support units can be added to the current top-level support unit. Similarly, when the number of cables that need to be supported decreases, the current top-level support unit can be removed.

[0032] In some embodiments, the support unit includes a support plate 4 and a partition plate 3. Both the support plate 4 and the partition plate 3 can be supported by the aforementioned insulating material, or a protective layer made of insulating material can be applied to the surface of the support plate 4 and the partition plate 3 to achieve insulation. The first side of the support plate 4 is rotatably connected to the first-side column 8, and the second side of the support plate 4 overlaps with the second-side column 9. The support plate 4 mainly serves to support the cable. While ensuring support strength, its own weight can be reduced as much as possible to reduce costs and facilitate assembly. For example, several holes can be provided on the support plate 4, which not only achieves the above-mentioned purpose but also provides a certain ventilation effect, effectively meeting the heat dissipation requirements of the cable.

[0033] The main function of the partition 3 is to separate the cables installed on the support plate 4 individually, avoiding a messy and disorderly arrangement. Multiple partitions 3 are installed on the support plate 4 along the extension direction of the cables. This separates each of the multiple cables individually, facilitating visual management.

[0034] In the above scheme, the support unit can be used to separate and support multiple cables by setting the partition 3. It can be to separate and support each cable individually or to separate and support every two or more cables. That is, the number of cables placed in the isolation groove formed by the adjacent partitions on the support unit is not limited to one cable. The number of cables placed in each isolation groove can also be adjusted according to the needs to ensure neat arrangement. Preferably, multiple cables are separated and supported individually.

[0035] In some embodiments, the support plate 4 has multiple connection holes, each including a slot along the extension direction of the cable. The partition 3 is movably connected to the support plate 4 via the slot. The slot does not coincide with the aforementioned holes. The slot may penetrate the support plate 4 along its thickness direction or it may not. The cross-sectional shape of the slot may be circular, rectangular, or irregular. The lower part of the partition 3 may be configured to fit the slot. From the perspective of insertion and removal efficiency, a circular shape is more convenient.

[0036] In some embodiments, multiple connection holes are arranged in parallel, and at least some adjacent connection holes are at the same or different distances. In this embodiment, the connection between the partition 3 and the support plate 4 is configured as a movable plug-in connection, which facilitates the adjustment of the spacing between the two partitions 3 according to the diameter of the laid cable to accommodate cables of different thicknesses. For example, some cables have a diameter of 1 cm, and some cables have a diameter of 5 cm, which can be achieved by adjusting the spacing between adjacent partitions 3.

[0037] In some embodiments, to improve the heat dissipation of the cable, several ventilation holes extending along the thickness direction are provided on the partition 3. The ventilation holes of adjacent partitions 3 are arranged in strip shape and opposite to each other. This can increase the flow rate and volume of airflow, which will carry away more heat generated by the cable during operation and achieve a better heat dissipation effect.

[0038] In some embodiments, two adjacent support plates 4 can be connected along the extension direction of the cable via a first connector 5. The ability to expand the support plates 4 as needed is also an innovation of this application; that is, the cable rack of this embodiment can not only increase the number of support plate layers 4 vertically, but also increase the length of a single layer of support plate 4 horizontally. For example, if some cables require longer support distances to ensure cable safety, this embodiment provides a technical solution that allows the support plates 4 to be expanded during use.

[0039] The first connector 5 can be a connector with two holes, which are respectively fixed to the pre-set screw holes at the ends of the two support plates 4 by two bolts, thereby fixing the two support plates 4. Of course, the first connector 5 can also be a washer with screw holes of other types, as long as it can achieve the above function.

[0040] In some embodiments, protective plates 2 are provided on both sides of the support plate 4 along the extension direction of the cable. The protective plates 2 are used to protect the cable on the support plate 4. When two adjacent support plates 4 are extended, the first connector 5 can be provided on the two adjacent protective plates 2.

[0041] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first side 10 of the support unit is rotatably connected to the first side column 8 via the second connector 6; the second side 11 of the support unit is overlapped with the second side column 9 via the support strip 7.

[0042] See Figure 3 The second connecting piece 6 is a pin or a bearing-bearing shaft. One end of the pin can be fixed to the column 1, and the other end of the pin is inserted into the pre-set connecting hole at the end of the support plate 4. The two should be clearance fit so as not to affect rotation.

[0043] Optionally, the bearing-equipped rotating shaft includes a bearing and a matching rotating shaft. The bearing is built into the column 1, and one end of the rotating shaft is fixed to the end of the support plate 4. The other end of the rotating shaft is inserted into the bearing, making it easier to flip the support plate 4.

[0044] In some embodiments, the free-moving end of the support plate 4 is limited by the support bar 7. The support bar 7 is disposed on the column 9 on the second side, and the position of the support bar 7 is opposite to the position of the second connector 6, so that when the support plate 4 is attached to the support bar 7 by the second connector 6, the support plate 4 is in a horizontal or nearly horizontal state.

[0045] Optionally, the connection between the support bar 7 and the column 1 can be a plug-in structure or a bolt-fixed structure. The plug-in structure makes disassembly and assembly very convenient. A buffer layer can also be provided on the support bar 7. The buffer layer can be made of rubber, which not only protects the support plate 4 from falling but also has an insulating effect.

[0046] In some embodiments, in at least two support units, the first side 10 and the second side 11 of the lowest support unit are fixedly connected to the first side column 8 and the second side column 9, respectively. Under normal operating conditions, the cables on the lowest support unit are laid first, so they do not need to be made movable. The overall structural strength can be improved by fixing both sides with bolts.

Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
