[0020] The technical terms used herein are for the reference of specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the invention. The singular forms used herein include plural forms unless phrases clearly indicate otherwise. The meaning of "comprising" as used in the specification specifies a particular characteristic, area, integer, step, action, element, and / or component, and does not exclude the presence or addition of other particular characteristic, area, integer, step, action, element, component, and / or group.

[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein, including technical and scientific terms, have the same meaning as generally understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. Terms defined in commonly used dictionaries are further interpreted to have meanings consistent with relevant technical literature and the present disclosure, and are not interpreted in an ideal or highly formal sense unless otherwise defined. For example, the term "applied" described below is interpreted to include both the state in which it is appropriately used and the state prior to appropriate use.

[0022] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the present invention. However, the present invention may be embodied in various different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0023] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a ground equipment cable fixing device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic plan view of the ground equipment cable fixing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating the state in which the ground equipment cable fixing device according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed, and FIG. 4 is a top view of the state in which the ground equipment cable fixing device according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed.

[0024] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, a ground equipment cable fixing device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a main body (110) and a cable fixing guide (120), and can easily fix a plurality of cables (10) and can safely fix the cables (10) by preventing damage and slippage of each cable (10).

[0025] The main body (110) is formed with a pre-set cable fixing area along the longitudinal direction and can have both ends formed with a screw fastening structure. The main body (110) can be formed in the shape of a U-bolt. Previously, to fix three cables, a method was used in which three U-bolts were installed on each cable. Referring to FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present invention can fix three cables (10) using one integrated U-bolt. The size of the integrated U-bolt can be set to be compatible with three existing U-bolts.

[0026] The main body (110) may further include fastening parts (140) that are fixedly coupled to each end of the main body (110). The main body (110) is fixedly installed by providing bolt-type fixing members at both ends of the main body (110) and inserting them into existing bolt holes to be coupled with the fastening parts (140). The fastening parts (140) may include nuts. The main body (110) may further include a pressure fixing part (150) that is coupled through both ends of the main body (110) and pressure fixes and supports the cable (10) seated on the cable fixing guide part (120). The pressure fixing part (150) is formed in a plate shape that is long in the longitudinal direction, and coupling holes may be provided at positions corresponding to both ends of the main body (110).

[0027] A plurality of cable fixing guide sections (120) may be provided at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction of the cable fixing area. One side of the cable fixing guide section (120) may be fixedly coupled to one side of the main body (110), and the other side may be formed in a semicircular shape. The cable fixing guide section (120) is a part where the cable (10) is supported and may be formed to correspond to the size and shape of the cable (10). Accordingly, the cable fixing guide section (120) is formed in a streamlined shape to closely adhere to the outer shape of the cable (10), so that cables (10) of various sizes and shapes can be firmly fixed even when installed.

[0028] A packing portion (130) may be further included, which is provided on the inner side of the cable fixing guide portion (120) and directly contacts the cable (10) to prevent the cable (10) from slipping. Here, the packing portion (130) may be made of a rubber material. By installing a rubber packing portion (130) at the part that contacts each cable (10) and contacting the outer surface of the cable (10), damage to and slipping of the cable (10) can be prevented.

[0029] As described above, the ground equipment cable fixing device according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided with a cable fixing guide part (120) and a packing part (130) for fixing a plurality of cables (10) in a cable fixing area provided along the longitudinal direction of a main body part (110) formed in a U-bolt shape, and can be fixed with a fastening part (140). If necessary, a pressure fixing part (150) may be additionally coupled to maintain the fixed state of the cable (10) more firmly.

[0030] The ground equipment cable fixing device according to an embodiment of the present invention is improved into an integrated U-bolt form for fixing ground equipment cables, so that only one U-bolt needs to be installed instead of three existing U-bolts, thereby improving work efficiency. In addition, the time required for the process in poor working environments can be reduced, thereby preventing safety accidents for workers. Furthermore, by installing a packing part (130) for fixing cables, power quality can be improved by minimizing damage to the cable (10) and external impact.

[0031] Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto and can be implemented with various modifications within the scope of the claims, the detailed description of the invention, and the attached drawings, and it is obvious that such modifications also fall within the scope of the present invention.
