Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to cable protection mechanisms, and more particularly to a cable fixing and protection mechanism for ship cabins. Background Technology

[0002] In shipbuilding and cabin layout, the secure laying of cables is fundamental to ensuring the operation of the entire ship's systems. Currently, the industry commonly uses metal cable trays as a solution, installing trays on the cabin structure to support cable bundles. While cable trays are widely used, traditional cable trays have some drawbacks in actual operation and daily maintenance.

[0003] Existing cable trays, whether horizontally, vertically, or in a crisscross pattern, are all open structures, prioritizing load-bearing capacity. Cables of different voltage levels and functions, such as power cables, control cables, and signal cables, are often laid together in the same layer of the tray. This mixed layout results in a chaotic appearance of the cable bundles, making it difficult for maintenance personnel to quickly locate specific cables during subsequent inspections, troubleshooting, or system upgrades. This not only reduces work efficiency but also increases maintenance risks during the process of searching and moving around.

[0004] After the brackets are installed, construction workers still need to use a large number of individual cable ties, clamps, and other fasteners to perform secondary binding of the cables on the manufacturing site. The complex and confined spaces of ship cabins make piping and cable installation labor-intensive and time-consuming, impacting the assembly efficiency of ship section construction. Furthermore, the loose fasteners themselves present challenges in management, are prone to omission, or are not installed properly.

[0005] Ships operate under continuous vibration and swaying environments, demanding high long-term reliability from their cable securing methods. Traditional cable trays with discrete bundling often provide only static and localized constraints on the cable bundles. Under alternating vibration and swaying loads, the cable bundles are prone to shifting, loosening, and may even cause sections to detach from the tray's load-bearing area. Furthermore, common plastic cable ties are susceptible to aging and cracking, while metal clamps can damage the cable body due to stress concentration; all of these can potentially become points of failure.

[0006] Therefore, current methods of securing cables inside ship cabins are inadequate in terms of cable classification and management, installation efficiency, and long-term dynamic reliability. A more integrated and targeted securing and protection mechanism is needed. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the shortcomings of the aforementioned technologies, this utility model provides a cable fixing and protection mechanism for ship cabins.

[0008] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a cable fixing and protection mechanism for ship cabins, including a multi-layer bracket structure stacked on the same vertical plane. The multi-layer bracket structure includes a bottom bracket, a middle bracket, and a top bracket. The bottom bracket, the middle bracket, and the top bracket are connected by support rods, and each of them forms a bottom groove extending along its length. A protective pad is provided in each bottom groove. The placement area of ​​the bottom bracket, the middle bracket, and the top bracket is equipped with a strap unit. The bottom bracket and the middle bracket are also equipped with an elastic tensioning unit. A top cover is movably connected to the top of the top bracket.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a bottom plate fixed to the bulkhead or deck of the ship's cabin, with a bottom bracket, a middle bracket and a top bracket stacked sequentially on the vertical surface of the bottom plate from top to bottom, forming an axially through cavity between the bottom plate and the bottom of the bottom bracket.

[0010] Furthermore, a wider support platform is formed on the top of the left and right side walls of the bottom bracket, and the bottom of the support rod located between the bottom bracket and the middle bracket is fastened to the support platform.

[0011] Furthermore, the left and right side walls of the middle bracket form cutting side walls with an extension height lower than the front and rear ends, and the bottom of the support rod located between the middle bracket and the top bracket is fastened to the top surface of the cutting side wall; the bottom corners of the left and right sides of the middle bracket and the top bracket are all formed with L-shaped foot plates with a maximum width greater than the width of the side wall.

[0012] Furthermore, the top bracket is connected to the top cover by a hinge, and a hand-touch edge that protrudes outward and is easy for fingers to apply force is formed on the side of the top cover opposite to the hinge. A pin is machined on the side wall of the top bracket adjacent to the hand-touch edge.

[0013] Furthermore, a vertically arranged baffle is machined below the touch edge, and the baffle is paired with a pin through a through hole.

[0014] Furthermore, the cable tie unit includes two male seats fixed on the bracket and a locking cable tie located between them, the locking cable tie being used to secure the cable bundle.

[0015] Furthermore, protective pads are laid in the bottom grooves of the bottom bracket, middle bracket, and top bracket.

[0016] Furthermore, the elastic tensioning unit includes a Z-shaped connecting plate and a nylon tension spring. The nylon tension spring is connected across the upper opening of the bracket via the Z-shaped connecting plate, and the nylon tension spring is used to constrain all cable bundles within the placement area of ​​the bracket.

[0017] A cable fixing and protection mechanism for ship cabins achieves classified placement of cables through multi-layer vertical brackets, solving the problem of mixed laying and facilitating inspection and maintenance; the integrated strap unit eliminates the need for secondary on-site bundling, improving construction efficiency; the elastic tensioning unit and the strap unit work together to effectively buffer vibration, prevent cable movement, and effectively improve the level of cable fixing and protection in ship cabins.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown in the figure, this embodiment of the cable fixing and protection mechanism for ship cabins includes a multi-layer bracket structure stacked on a vertical plane, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the multi-layer bracket structure of this embodiment is composed of a bottom bracket 2, a middle bracket 3 and a top bracket 4 arranged sequentially from bottom to top. Each layer of bracket is rigidly connected by a support rod 14 to achieve stable inter-layer support. In terms of connection, the ends of the support rod 14 are connected by spot welding.

[0025] In this embodiment, the bottom bracket 2, the middle bracket 3, and the top bracket 4 are all formed with bottom grooves extending along their length to support the cable bundles, and a protective pad 15 is provided on the inner surface of each bottom groove to protect the cable sheath from wear. The protective pad 15 is made of neoprene rubber and has a surface textured with anti-slip texture.

[0026] Regarding the bundling and tightening of cable bundles, the cable placement areas of the bottom bracket 2, the middle bracket 3, and the top bracket 4 are each equipped with a cable tie unit for bundling cable bundles. Unlike traditional cable ties, the cable tie unit in this embodiment is connected to the bracket, which can relatively enhance the placement stability of the cable bundle. Furthermore, the pipe system and cable can be laid by simply passing through the cable tie unit, resulting in stronger integration. On this basis, the bottom bracket 2 and the middle bracket 3 are further constrained by elastic tensioning units with elastic force, and the top bracket 4 is also movably connected to an openable and closable top cover 5, thus forming an integrated overall structure for cable fixing and protection.

[0027] To securely install the mechanism of this embodiment inside the ship's hold, this embodiment also includes a bottom plate 1 attached to the hold. The bottom plate 1 is fixed to the ship's hold bulkhead or deck structure by welding or bolting. The bottom bracket 2, the middle bracket 3, and the top bracket 4 can be stacked and fixed to the vertical surface of the bottom plate 1 from top to bottom. Between the bottom plate 1 and the bottom of the bottom bracket 2 located at the bottom, an axially through cavity 6 is reserved. This cavity can be used to guide longitudinally arranged pipe channels, enhancing the adaptability of the cable protection device for shipboard installation.

[0028] The top of the left and right side walls of the bottom bracket 2 is widened to form a wider support platform 7. The support rod 14 located between the bottom bracket 2 and the middle bracket 3 is directly fixed to the support platform 7 at its bottom to obtain a reliable support foundation. It should be noted that there are multiple support rods 14, and this embodiment does not limit the number of support rods 14. The left and right side walls of the middle bracket 3 are processed into cut side walls 8 with an extension height lower than the side walls at its front and rear ends. The lower cut side walls 8 can reduce the height between the middle bracket 3 and the top bracket 4, reduce material usage, and reduce space occupation. On this basis, the bottom of the support rod 14 located between the middle bracket 3 and the top bracket 4 is fixed to the top surface of the cut side wall 8. In order to enhance the structural stability of the bracket and the contact area with the mounting surface, L-shaped foot plates 9 are processed on the bottom corners of the left and right sides of the middle bracket 3 and the top bracket 4. The maximum width of the L-shaped foot plate 9 is greater than the width of the side wall itself.

[0029] Regarding the top cover 5, the top bracket 4 is connected to the top cover 5 by a hinge 10, making it easy to open the top cover 5 for cable laying or maintenance. A protruding hand-touch edge 11 is machined on the side of the top cover 5 opposite to the hinge 10. The hand-touch edge 11 allows the operator to apply force with their fingers to open the top cover 5. On the side wall of the top bracket 4 adjacent to the hand-touch edge 11, a pin 13 is machined. In order to provide auxiliary positioning and locking when the top cover 5 is closed, a vertically set baffle 12 is also machined below the hand-touch edge 11. The baffle 12 has a through hole, and the pin 13 is inserted and matched through the through hole of the baffle 12 to achieve simple locking of the top cover 5. In addition, since the top cover 5 is a flip-connected form, the protruding length of the pin 13 matches the thickness of the baffle 12 to prevent the pin 13 from being unable to pass into the through hole.

[0030] It is understood that this embodiment has a multi-level fastening system for cable bundles. Regarding the primary fastening strap units, they are located within each bracket layer. It should be noted that there can be multiple strap units. The purpose of setting multiple strap units is to match the number of cable bundles. Furthermore, in special installation requirements, there needs to be an installation gap between adjacent cable bundles. Therefore, the strap units are arranged as follows... Figure 3 The installation is shown in a position close to the inner wall of the bracket, increasing the installation clearance; The cable tie unit specifically includes two male connectors 16 and a locking cable tie 17 located between them. The locking cable tie 17 is used to tighten the cable bundle. The male connectors 16 can be fastened by epoxy resin bonding. The bonding of the male connectors 16 can be bonded to the protective pad 15 without affecting it. When the approximate diameter parameters of the cable bundle are known during the design of the piping system and cables, the length of the locking cable tie 17 can be processed according to the parameters. The locking cable tie 17 can be made of nylon material.

[0031] To further improve the reliability of cable fixing, especially under ship vibration conditions, the elastic tensioning unit set in this embodiment includes a Z-shaped connecting plate 18 and a nylon tension spring 19. It can be understood that there are two Z-shaped connecting plates 18, which are respectively matched and connected to the side wall of the bracket. The nylon tension spring 19 is connected between the two Z-shaped connecting plates 18 in a pre-tensioned state, thereby constraining all cable bundles in the lower bracket placement area and effectively suppressing the undesirable movement and loosening of the cable under vibration environment.

[0032] This application discloses a cable fixing and protection mechanism for ship cabins. The multi-layer vertical brackets enable the classification and placement of cables, solving the problem of mixed laying and facilitating inspection and maintenance. The integrated strap unit eliminates the need for secondary on-site bundling, improving construction efficiency. The elastic tensioning unit and the strap unit work together to effectively buffer vibration and prevent cable movement, effectively improving the level of cable fixing and protection in ship cabins.

[0033] The above embodiments are not intended to limit the present utility model, nor is the present utility model limited to the examples given above. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model are also within the protection scope of the present utility model.
