Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting engineering, and in particular to a cable bundle device that can be quickly located. Background Technology

[0002] In existing lighting projects (such as urban nightscape lighting, landscape light strips, building outline lights, etc.), multiple power lines or signal lines are usually buried underground to ensure aesthetics and safety. However, buried cables present significant difficulties for later maintenance, modification, or troubleshooting. Once the cables are covered by soil, construction workers often find it difficult to accurately remember or locate their exact positions, especially at night or in low-light environments. This requires carrying detection equipment or large-scale excavation, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and can easily damage surrounding greenery.

[0003] While various cable bundlers or cable ties exist in the current technology for securing multiple cables together, they generally suffer from the following drawbacks: traditional nylon cable ties or metal binding wires cannot be repeatedly opened and closed after installation, requiring them to be cut during modifications, making re-construction troublesome; ordinary bundlers do not have nighttime visibility marking capabilities, relying entirely on memory or blueprints for positioning after burial; and a few marker posts with reflective strips can only passively reflect vehicle lights or flashlights, making them undetectable from hundreds of meters away, and their reflectivity decreases significantly when obscured by soil.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to further improve the cable bundling device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a cable bundling device that can quickly locate cables. It achieves tool-free rapid bundling through a conical spiral self-locking tightening structure, adapts to multiple scenarios through a height-adjustable column, and facilitates quick location of specific cable bundles through a multi-visualization design with solar energy, photosensitive automatic flashing, and high-brightness reflection. It can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cable bundle device for rapid location, comprising a cable bundle tube with an opening along the axial direction, a fixing block provided at a symmetrical position at the opening of the cable bundle tube, a tightening component provided on both sides of the fixing block along the axial direction of the cable bundle tube, an adjustment component provided on the right side of the fixing block, a column with a pointed cone shape inserted into the adjustment hole of the adjustment component, a placement plate provided on the upper end of the column, a placement box provided on the placement plate, the placement box being sealed and opened and closed by a box cover, a vertical box fixed on the box cover, a control circuit board provided inside the placement box, and flashing components provided on the placement box and the vertical box;

The lithium battery, solar panel, LED, and photosensitive sensor are all electrically connected to the control circuit board via wires.

[0008] Preferably, the tightening component includes a spiral steel bar and a protective sleeve. The protective sleeve is in the shape of a straight line and covers the outer side of the spiral steel bar. One end of the spiral steel bar is fixedly connected to the fixing block, and the whole is in the shape of a pointed cone, with the diameter on the side closer to the fixing block being larger than the diameter on the side farther from the fixing block.

[0009] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes an adjustment block and a fastening bolt. The adjustment block is disposed on the right side of the fixed block, the column is inserted into the vertically opened adjustment hole on the adjustment block, and the fastening bolt is horizontally screwed into the threaded hole of the adjustment block, with its end abutting against the outer side of the column.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] In the description of this application, if directional descriptions are involved, such as "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," "right," etc., indicating directional or positional relationships, they are based on the appendix. Figure 1 The orientations or positional relationships shown are for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description only, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application. When a feature is referred to as "set", "fixed", or "connected" to another feature, it can be directly set, fixed, or connected to the other feature, or it can be indirectly set, fixed, or connected to the other feature.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a cable bundling device that can quickly locate cables. The device is installed at the location where cables need to be bundled and buried in a lighting project. Its core function is to reliably bundle and fix multiple cables neatly, and to quickly locate and identify cables at night or in low-light environments through active flashing and passive reflection, thus avoiding the pain point of construction workers having difficulty finding the location of buried cables in complex environments.

[0025] like Figure 1As shown, the manifold 1 is a tubular structure with an opening along the axial direction, preferably made of high-strength engineering plastic through extrusion molding, which has good weather resistance and UV aging resistance. A fixing block 13 is provided at the opposite position of the opening of the manifold 1. The fixing block 13 is integrally formed with the manifold 1 or fastened by high-frequency welding. A set of tightening components 2 is provided on each side of the fixing block 13 along the axial direction of the manifold 1.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the tightening assembly 2 consists of a spiral steel bar 201 and a protective sleeve 202 covering it. The spiral steel bar 201 is preferably made of 65Mn spring steel with a diameter of 2-4mm. After heat treatment, it has excellent elasticity and fatigue strength. One end is welded or riveted to the fixing block 13. The whole structure is a pointed conical spiral structure with a larger diameter on the side closer to the fixing block and a smaller diameter on the side farther away from the fixing block. The protective sleeve 202 is a straight soft PVC or TPU sheath, which not only protects the steel bar from rusting and avoids scratching the cable, but also increases the friction force after the cable is bundled.

[0027] In use, simply insert multiple cables into the axial opening of the hub tube 1, and then wrap the spiral steel strip 201 around the outside of the multiple cables in a spiral direction to fix the cables together. Due to the conical design of the spiral steel strip 201, the diameter continuously decreases during the winding process, eventually locking the cables firmly and fixing them inside the hub tube 1. The tighter it is pulled, the greater the locking force. It is a self-locking structure and can be bundled and fixed without additional cable ties or tools.

[0028] Compared to traditional cable ties, this conical spiral tightening method has advantages such as repeated opening and closing, uniform force distribution, and no damage to cables, and can also improve installation speed.

[0029] An adjustment component 6 is fixed to the right side of the fixing block 13. The adjustment component 6 includes an adjustment block 601 and a fastening bolt 602. The adjustment block 601 can be integrally formed from the same material as the fixing block 13. It has a smooth adjustment hole vertically opened inside, and a column 3 with a pointed cone shape at the lower end is inserted into the adjustment hole. The column 3 is preferably made of φ20-30mm 6061 aluminum alloy tube. The lower end is machined into a pointed cone to facilitate insertion into the ground or penetration of the fixing hole. Before leaving the factory, the surface of the pointed cone can also be covered with a rubber sleeve to prevent injury.

[0030] The fastening bolt 602 is a stainless steel bolt that is horizontally screwed into the threaded hole of the adjusting block 601. By tightening the fastening bolt 602, the end of the fastening bolt 602 can be pressed against the outer wall of the column 3, achieving stepless height adjustment. It can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual height of the buried cable. This height-adjustable structure allows the device to be installed both on the ground and buried underground, greatly expanding its applicable scenarios.

[0031] A placement plate 4 is welded to the upper end of the column 3. Four to six triangular ribs 5 are also provided between the placement plate 4 and the column 3, increasing the connection strength between the column 3 and the placement plate 4. A placement box 9 is fixedly installed on the placement plate 4. The placement box 9 is injection molded from ABS or PC / ABS flame-retardant material. The placement box 9 is connected to the box cover 7 by stainless steel mounting bolts. O-rings or D-rings of silicone sealing rings 10 are embedded in the contact surface, achieving a protection level of IP65 or higher, effectively preventing rainwater intrusion.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, a vertical box 8 is fixed to the center of the upper surface of the box cover 7. The vertical box 8 is designed as a hollow four-sided pyramid structure and is integrally formed with the box cover 7, preferably using transparent or semi-transparent PC material for integral injection molding. A high-efficiency monocrystalline solar panel 1202 is attached to each of the four sloping faces of the pyramid to maximize the reception of sunlight from all directions, achieving all-weather charging without dead angles. The top of the pyramid has a mounting hole and houses two high-brightness light-emitting diodes 1203 (one red and one blue), each with a brightness of ≥10 lumens, and a high-sensitivity photosensor 1204. The photosensor 1204 can detect ambient light and control the circuit switching of the light-emitting diodes 1203.

[0033] The placement box 9 contains a lithium battery 1201. The control circuit board inside uses a low-power MCU as its core and integrates solar MPPT charging management, lithium battery protection, and photosensitive automatic control logic to ensure that the solar panel 1202 can charge the lithium battery 1201.

[0034] During the day, the solar panel 1202 converts solar energy into electrical energy, which is efficiently stored in the lithium battery 1201 via the MPPT controller. When the photosensor 1204 detects that the ambient illuminance is below 20 lux (which can be set via potentiometer or program), it automatically triggers red and blue LEDs to flash alternately (flash frequency 1Hz, duty cycle 50%), providing visibility of over 50 meters at night. When the ambient illuminance recovers to above 50 lux, the LEDs automatically turn off to save power. The entire flashing assembly 12 requires no external power supply, truly achieving lifetime maintenance-free operation after installation.

[0035] In addition, the outer surface of the placement box 9 is also covered with a high-brightness microprism reflective sticker 11 (3M diamond grade or equivalent domestic product), which can produce strong reflection under the illumination of car lights and flashlights even when the LED power is depleted or malfunctions, further improving passive visibility.

[0036] The working principle and usage method of this utility model are as follows: multiple cables are inserted into the inside of the cable collection tube 1 from the opening, the cables are bundled and fixed by the tightening component 2, the position on the column 3 is adjusted according to the burial depth of the cables, the column 3 is inserted into the trench, the trench is filled, and it is necessary to ensure that the flashing component 12 is located on the ground.

[0037] When the photosensitive sensor 1204 detects that the ambient illuminance is below 20 lux (which can be set by potentiometer or program), it automatically triggers the red and blue LEDs to flash alternately (flash frequency 1Hz, duty cycle 50%), and the visibility distance at night exceeds 50 meters; when the ambient illuminance recovers to above 50 lux, the LEDs are automatically turned off to save power.

[0038] Nighttime construction or inspection personnel only need to observe the red and blue flashing light source from a distance or scan the reflective stickers with a flashlight to quickly and accurately locate the cable bundled by this device among hundreds of cables.

[0039] It is worth noting that the solar panel 1202 converts light energy into electrical energy, which is then efficiently stored in the lithium battery 1201 via an MPPT controller. This is a well-known technology in the existing solar energy field. The photosensitive sensor 1204 and the light-emitting diode 1203 use common models and specifications available on the market. The photosensitive sensor 1204 uses a common photoresistor (such as GL5537, GL5528, etc.) and works with the control circuit board through a voltage divider circuit. Specifically, after the photosensitive sensor 1204 is connected in series with a fixed pull-up resistor, its voltage divider point is connected to the signal detection terminal of the control circuit board. During the day when the sunlight is strong, the resistance of the photosensitive sensor is very small, the voltage divider point is at a low level, and the control circuit board controls the light-emitting diode 1203 to turn off. At night or when the light is insufficient, the resistance of the photosensitive sensor increases sharply, the voltage divider point becomes high level, and after the control circuit board detects this change, it immediately drives the red and blue light-emitting diodes 1203 to flash alternately (flickering frequency of about 1Hz). This photosensitive automatic control circuit is a well-known technology in the lighting field, and those skilled in the art can fully implement it based on the above description.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
