[0012] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a connector for cable trays, including an L-shaped insert plate and an L-shaped sleeve plate. The L-shaped insert plate is partially inserted into the L-shaped sleeve plate. A rectangular groove is provided at the connection between the L-shaped sleeve plate and the L-shaped insert plate. Several connecting springs are installed in the rectangular groove. The other end of the connecting springs is connected to the end of the L-shaped insert plate. Several plug-in components are respectively installed on the opposite sidewalls of the L-shaped insert plate and the L-shaped sleeve plate. The plug-in components are arranged in a linear array along the length of the sidewalls. A sleeve component is installed on the inner side of the L-shaped insert plate or the L-shaped sleeve plate. The sleeve component is sleeved on the plug-in component. After the sleeve component and the plug-in component are plugged into each other, a longitudinal threaded hole is formed between the sleeve component and the plug-in component. The plug-in component and the sleeve component are mutually plugged and limited by the engagement of the connector into the threaded hole, which reduces the number of connectors and can also quickly achieve mutual connection and limitation.

[0013] In a further embodiment, the plug-in assembly includes a plug post, the side of which has a semi-circular threaded groove, such as... Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, one side of the insertion post has a semi-circular threaded groove for placing the connector. The socket assembly includes a limiting plate, and mounting posts are respectively installed at both ends of the limiting plate. There is a space between the mounting posts for accommodating the insertion assembly. The side of each mounting post has a semi-circular threaded groove, such as... Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a semi-circular threaded groove is provided on one side of the mounting post. The semi-circular threaded groove is used to place the connector. The semi-circular threaded groove and the semi-circular threaded groove cooperate to form a threaded post. By screwing the connector into the threaded post, the insertion post and the mounting post can be mutually limited and fixed under the action of the connector.

[0014] A cable tray includes at least two sets of cable tray bodies. In this embodiment, two sets of cable tray bodies are used, such as... Figure 1As shown, a connector is installed at the connection point of the two sets of cable tray bodies. The connector is a cable tray connector as described above. The top of each cable tray body has several mounting holes arranged in a linear array. A cover plate is installed on the top of each cable tray body, and through holes are provided on both sides of the cover plate. Each through hole corresponds to one of the mounting holes. After the cover plate is placed on the cable tray body, the mounting holes and through holes correspond to each other. The cover plate and the cable tray are connected by inserting connectors into the mounting holes and through holes. The cable tray body has internal connections at both ends. Each wall is equipped with a socket assembly, which is the socket assembly of the cable tray connector described above. The socket assembly is located directly below the mounting hole. Several insertion holes are opened on the end side wall of the cable tray body. Insertion assemblies are inserted into the insertion holes. The insertion assemblies are the insertion assemblies of the cable tray connector described above. When the insertion assembly is inserted into the side wall of the cable tray through the insertion hole, it is located inside the socket assembly. A threaded connector is inserted into the through hole. The threaded connector is used to limit and fix the insertion assembly inside the socket assembly.

[0015] Through the above technical solution, the cable tray of this utility model can achieve the following working process: When multiple cable trays need to be interconnected to increase their length, a connector is placed at the connection point of the cable tray. When the connector is placed at the end of the cable tray, the plug component in the connector is inserted into the plug hole, and the plug component is limited by the socket component installed on the side of the cable tray, so that the plug component is inserted into the socket component. At this time, a threaded hole is formed between the plug component and the socket component. Then, a cover plate is placed on the top surface of the cable tray. At this time, the through hole on the cover plate is interconnected with the mounting hole and the threaded hole on the top surface of the cable tray. The connector passes through the cover plate and is threadedly connected to the through hole, mounting hole and threaded hole. The cover plate and connector are limited and fixed at the end of the cable tray, so that two sets of cable trays can be quickly interconnected.
