Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wiring auxiliary device technology, and more specifically, to a foldable wiring rack. Background Technology
[0002] Power transmission and equipment control in industrial plants typically require the installation of cables of various specifications. In practice, the number of cables often fluctuates, and in some scenarios, it's necessary to accommodate cable branching and turning. Simultaneously, efficient use of plant space must be considered to minimize the occupation of work areas during downtime. Standardized cabling support solutions help improve the stability of cable transmission, reduce safety hazards caused by cable compression and entanglement, and facilitate later inspection and maintenance. Therefore, there is a practical application requirement in industrial plants for the flexibility, adaptability, and stability of cabling support devices.
[0003] Currently, most cable support devices used in factories adopt a fixed-spacing integrated structure design, which is connected to the factory roof through bolts and other fasteners. Most of them can only provide a single plane bearing space. Although some devices are equipped with cable limiting structures, they are mostly fixed in a non-adjustable form and often lack load-bearing components that can be flexibly expanded or contracted. The components connecting the cables and the support structure are also mostly made of conventional materials, and the dynamic adaptability of the overall structure is relatively limited.
[0004] Existing cabling support devices have certain problems in practical applications: On the one hand, their load-bearing spacing is mostly a preset fixed value, making it difficult to adjust flexibly and accurately according to changes in the number and specifications of cables. When there are many cables, stacking and compression may occur, while when there are few cables, it may result in wasted load-bearing space, and adaptability needs to be improved. On the other hand, many devices lack a flexible and expandable load-bearing structure, making it difficult to meet the complex cabling needs of cable branching and turning. When idle, the structure is difficult to shrink and may occupy a lot of factory space. Moreover, the positioning of cables on the support device mostly relies on simple limiters, which may shift and loosen to a certain extent due to equipment vibration and external force during long-term use. At the same time, the rope-like structure connecting the load-bearing components may have poor durability due to improper material selection, thus affecting the long-term stability of the cabling. Therefore, we urgently need foldable cabling racks to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] One objective of this invention is to provide a new technical solution for a foldable cable tray, which achieves precise spacing adjustment through bidirectional screw and gear transmission, and is equipped with a rotating rod flip structure, magnetic fixation and anti-torsion disc, allowing for flexible switching between expansion / storage states to adapt to different quantities and specifications of cables, improving the orderliness of cabling and space utilization, and is easy to operate without additional tools.
[0006] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a foldable cable tray is provided, comprising a bracket connected to the roof of a factory building, and further comprising: a bidirectional screw rotatably connected to the bracket, with a slider threadedly connected to each of the two threaded sections of the bidirectional screw, and the bracket being connected to the bidirectional screw via a driving component; a connecting frame fixedly mounted on the slider, with a first cable tray for placing cables fixedly mounted at the end of the connecting frame, and a second cable tray rotatably connected to both ends of the first cable tray, the first cable tray being connected to the second cable tray via a pulling component.

[0008] Optionally, a dial is rotatably connected within one set of the fixed frames, and the dial is connected to the end of the first gear.
[0009] Optionally, guide frames are symmetrically mounted on the bracket, and the slider is slidably connected to the guide frames via an extension block.
[0010] Optionally, the first cable tray has symmetrically opened slots, a rotating rod is fixedly connected in the slot, and a mounting plate is rotatably connected to the rotating rod. The second cable tray is fixedly installed with the mounting plate.
[0011] Optionally, the pulling component includes adjusting tubes symmetrically and equidistantly arranged on the first cable tray, with adjusting rods provided on the adjusting tubes, the adjusting rods being threaded into the adjusting tubes, and a turntable rotatably connected to the top of the adjusting tubes.
[0012] Optionally, a connecting rope is fixedly connected to the turntable, and the other end of the connecting rope is fixedly connected to the second cable tray.
[0013] Optionally, a first magnetic absorbing piece is fixedly connected to the first cable tray, and a second magnetic absorbing piece is fixedly connected to the second cable tray. When the first cable tray and the second cable tray come into contact, the first magnetic absorbing piece and the second magnetic absorbing piece are magnetically attracted to each other.
[0014] Optionally, the rotation angle of the second cable tray around the rotating rod ranges from 0° to 90°. When the angle between the second cable tray and the first cable tray is 90°, a first working area is formed. When the angle between the second cable tray and the first cable tray is 0°, a second working area is formed.
[0015] Optionally, the connecting rope is made of stainless steel wire.
[0016] 1. According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the foldable cable tray achieves synchronous and precise spacing adjustment of two sets of cable trays through the reverse thread design of the bidirectional screw, the gear meshing transmission structure and the limiting cooperation of the guide frame. It can flexibly adapt to the carrying requirements of different quantities and specifications of cables, which not only avoids the transmission safety hazards caused by cable stacking and squeezing, but also reduces the waste of support space, and significantly improves the scene adaptability and wiring orderliness of the device.
[0017] 2. According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the foldable cable tray achieves flexible switching between expansion and storage through the rotational cooperation of the rotating rod and the mounting plate, and the design of the magnetic fixing structure.

At the same time, the turntable effectively avoids the damage of the connecting rope by twisting, and the magnetic structure improves the fixing stability. The whole process does not require additional tools, and takes into account the ease of operation, space utilization and reliability of use.

[0025] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.
[0026] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a foldable cabling rack includes a bracket 1 that is connected to the roof of the factory building.
[0027] Here, bracket 1 is integrally formed from high-strength alloy profile, with multiple sets of evenly distributed mounting holes pre-set on the top, which are stably connected to the roof of the factory building by expansion bolts. The inner wall of the mounting holes is provided with anti-slip threads. The vertical support rods of bracket 1 are welded with reinforcing ribs on the outside, and the surface of the horizontal connecting rods is treated with anti-rust and anti-corrosion measures to adapt to the humid and dusty industrial environment. This is a direct reference to conventional technical solutions, and conventional structures such as mounting holes are not shown in the attached drawings.
[0028] Furthermore, this structural design can effectively bear the weight load of cables of various specifications, avoiding wiring deviation caused by stress deformation during long-term use. Multiple sets of mounting holes are adapted to the installation spacing requirements of different factory roofs. The reinforcing ribs and anti-rust treatment improve the structural stability and environmental adaptability of the device, solving the problems of limited load-bearing capacity and easy corrosion of existing support devices.
[0029] It also includes a bidirectional screw 2 rotatably connected to the bracket 1, with a slider 3 threadedly connected to each of the two threaded sections of the bidirectional screw 2, and a guide frame 11 symmetrically installed on the bracket 1. The slider 3 is slidably connected to the guide frame 11 through an extension block.
[0030] Here, the bidirectional screw 2 is precision machined from No. 45 steel. The middle section of the screw body is smooth, and the two ends are provided with trapezoidal threads with opposite directions of rotation. The thread profile is reinforced. The slider 3 has an internal threaded hole that matches the bidirectional screw 2. Extension blocks extend symmetrically from both sides, and wear-resistant slider 3 pads are installed at the bottom of the extension blocks. The guide frame 11 is a grooved aluminum alloy structure. The width of the internal groove is precisely matched with the size of the extension block, and the groove wall is provided with a lubricating coating.
[0031] Furthermore, the reverse thread design enables the two sets of sliders 3 to move synchronously relative to each other or in opposite directions. The guide frame 11 plays a limiting and guiding role, ensuring that the slider 3 moves accurately and stably. The lubrication between the extension block and the guide frame 11 reduces mechanical wear and improves adjustment flexibility. It can flexibly adjust the spacing of the cable tray according to the number and specifications of cables, avoiding cable stacking and squeezing or wasting space, and significantly improving the adaptability of the device.
[0032] The bracket 1 is connected to the bidirectional screw 2 via a driving component. The driving component includes fixed frames 7 symmetrically mounted on the bracket 1. A first gear 8 is provided between the two sets of fixed frames 7. The two ends of the first gear 8 are rotatably connected to the fixed frames 7 respectively. A second gear 9 is fixedly connected to the smooth section of the bidirectional screw 2. The first gear 8 and the second gear 9 mesh with each other. A dial 10 is rotatably connected to one set of fixed frames 7. The dial 10 is connected to the end of the first gear 8.
[0033] Here, the fixing frame 7 consists of two symmetrical steel plates, which are vertically fixed to the transverse connecting rod of the bracket 1 by bolts. The inner side is provided with a bearing mounting groove and a deep groove ball bearing is built in. The first gear 8 and the second gear 9 are spur gears with precise matching of module and number of teeth. The meshing surface is treated with high frequency quenching. The actuating disc 10 has a circular structure with anti-slip texture on the edge. The center of the disc is connected to the end key of the first gear 8 through the transmission shaft.
[0034] Furthermore, the gear meshing transmission ensures smooth rotation of the bidirectional screw 2 and accurate power transmission, avoiding uneven force during manual adjustment; the anti-slip design of the dial 10 reduces the difficulty of operation, allowing adjustment without additional tools and improving construction convenience; the bearing design of the fixed frame 7 reduces frictional resistance, extends the service life of the drive components, and solves the problems of inconvenient adjustment and unstable transmission in existing devices.
[0035] A connecting frame 4 is fixedly installed on the slider 3. A first cable tray 5 for placing cables is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting frame 4. A second cable tray 6 is rotatably connected to both ends of the first cable tray 5. The first cable tray 5 has symmetrically opened slots 12. A rotating rod 13 is fixedly connected in the slots 12. A mounting plate 14 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 13. The second cable tray 6 is fixedly installed with the mounting plate 14.
[0036] Here, the connecting frame 4 is a stainless steel bent part, one end of which is welded and fixed to the slider 3, and the other end is detachably connected to the first cable tray 5 by bolts, with multiple preset length specifications; the first cable tray 5 is a U-shaped groove structure, with a fixed seat welded to the inner side wall of the opening groove 12, and the rotating rod 13 is a stainless steel round rod, which is horizontally fixed by the fixed seat; the mounting plate 14 is a rectangular steel plate, one end of which is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 13 by a bushing, and the other end is bolted to the second cable tray 6.
[0037] Furthermore, the detachable design of the connecting frame 4 facilitates later maintenance and replacement; the rotation of the rotating rod 13 and the mounting plate 14 enables the second cable tray 6 to be flexibly flipped, and the angle can be adjusted according to the cable branching and turning requirements to form a multi-directional cabling support space, solving the problem that the existing device lacks an expansion structure and is difficult to meet complex cabling requirements.
[0038] The first cable tray 5 is connected to the second cable tray 6 via a pull member. The pull member includes adjusting tubes 15 that are symmetrically and equidistantly opened on the first cable tray 5. Adjusting rods 16 are provided on the adjusting tubes 15 and are threaded inside the adjusting tubes 15. A turntable 17 is rotatably connected to the top of the adjusting tubes 15. A connecting rope 18 is fixedly connected to the turntable 17, and the other end of the connecting rope 18 is fixedly connected to the second cable tray 6. The connecting rope 18 is made of stainless steel wire.
[0039] Here, the adjusting tube 15 is a cylindrical hollow tube, which is vertically welded to the outside of the first cable tray 5 slot and has internal threads on the inner wall; the adjusting rod 16 is a matching threaded rod, which is axially fixed to the turntable 17 at the top and rotatably engaged in the circumference, and extends into the adjusting tube 15 at the bottom and is engaged by threads; the turntable 17 has anti-slip ridges on the edge; the connecting rope 18 is made of 304 stainless steel wire, the diameter of which is set according to the load requirements, and the two ends are fixed by buckles or welding.
[0040] Furthermore, the threaded engagement between the adjusting tube 15 and the adjusting rod 16 allows for precise adjustment of the tension of the connecting rope 18, fixing the flip angle of the second cable tray 6 and ensuring stability under different wiring conditions; the stainless steel wire connecting rope 18 is high-strength, corrosion-resistant, and not easily broken, improving the durability of the pulling parts; the anti-slip design of the turntable 17 makes adjustment convenient and effortless, solving the problems of insufficient durability of existing device connecting parts and unstable angle fixation.
[0041] A first magnetic absorbing piece 19 is fixedly connected to the first cable tray 5, and a second magnetic absorbing piece 20 is fixedly connected to the second cable tray 6. When the first cable tray 5 and the second cable tray 6 come into contact, the first magnetic absorbing piece 19 and the second magnetic absorbing piece 20 magnetically attract each other.
[0042] Here, the first magnetic clasp 19 is made of neodymium iron boron strong magnetic material and is fixed to the side of the end of the first cable tray 5 by strong glue or bolts, and the surface is covered with a scratch-resistant and wear-resistant coating; the second magnetic clasp 20 has the same specifications as the first magnetic clasp 19 and is fixed to the corresponding contact surface of the second cable tray 6. When the contact surfaces are in contact, they are precisely aligned and the attraction force is set according to the weight of the cable tray.
[0043] Furthermore, the magnetic adsorption effect enhances the fixation of the second cable tray 6 at 0°, preventing accidental flipping; the scratch-resistant coating protects the surface of the magnetic adsorption sheet and extends its lifespan; the precise alignment design improves the overall structure, and the adsorption force balances fixation stability and ease of flipping, solving the problems of unstable cable positioning and easy displacement in existing devices.
[0044] The rotation angle of the second cable tray 6 around the rotating rod 13 ranges from 0° to 90°. When the angle between the second cable tray 6 and the first cable tray 5 is 90°, a first working area is formed. When the angle between the second cable tray 6 and the first cable tray 5 is 0°, a second working area is formed.
[0045] Here, the flipping angle of the second cable tray 6 is limited by the mounting plate 14 and the side wall of the opening slot 12. At 90°, the second cable tray 6 flips and fits into the slot of the first cable tray 5, and the mounting plate 14 abuts against the vertical side wall of the opening slot 12, forming a compact first working area. At 0°, the second cable tray 6 extends horizontally to both ends of the first cable tray 5, and is arranged in a straight line with the first cable tray 5, forming a large-area second working area.
[0046] Furthermore, the first work area can significantly reduce the overall space occupied by the device. When idle or with a small number of cables, it avoids occupying the factory's operating area and improves space utilization. The second work area, through its "I"-shaped extension structure, significantly increases the cabling carrying area, which can meet the needs of a large number of cables, long-distance cabling, or multi-specification cable classification and arrangement, avoiding cable stacking and compression, and solving the problem of limited cabling capacity and wasted space in existing devices.
[0047] In this invention, manually rotating the dial 10 drives the first gear 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the bidirectional screw 2 to rotate through meshing with the second gear 9. The trapezoidal threads at both ends of the bidirectional screw 2, with opposite directions of rotation, and the sliding limit between the slider 3 and the guide frame 11, pull the two sets of sliders 3 to move synchronously relative to or towards each other. The connecting frame 4 drives the first cable tray 5 to precisely adjust the spacing, adapting to the carrying requirements of different quantities and specifications of cables. When there are many cables or long-distance cabling is required, the first magnetic clasp 19 and the second magnetic clasp 20 are separated, and the second cable tray 6 is rotated around the rotating rod 13 to a 0° horizontal state. The adjusting rod 16 and the adjusting tube 15 are then engaged by their threads. The second cable tray 6 is fixed in position, with the turntable 17 serving only to prevent the connecting ropes 18 from twisting together, ultimately forming a large-area "I"-shaped second working area. When the number of cables is small or the device is idle, the adjusting rod 16 is loosened to release the connecting ropes 18, and the second cable tray 6 is flipped to 90° to fit against the first cable tray 5. It is then fixed by the first magnetic suction plate 19 and the second magnetic suction plate 20 to form a compact first working area. The entire process requires no additional tools. Through the synergistic effect of mechanical transmission and magnetic fixation, it achieves flexible switching between spacing adaptation, expanded capacity, and compact storage, taking into account the stability of wiring, ease of operation, and space utilization.
