Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] Regarding a cable support structure, the present invention aims to provide a cable support structure that eliminates the need for the conventional cable fixing work using nylon bands, etc., and can support a large number of cables extremely simply and reliably. The purpose is to support cables that should be arranged vertically at key points.
In a cable support structure that has at least two comb-shaped cable support members in the vertical direction in which a plurality of flexible clamping pieces are arranged in parallel to sandwich the cable from both sides, the upper cable support member is placed on the rear side from the lower side. A removable cable holding member is arranged to be shifted a predetermined distance from the upper and lower cable supporting members, and presses and bends the cable between the upper and lower cable supporting members.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a cable support structure that supports cables to be arranged in the vertical direction at key points.

[Conventional technology]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A large number of cables are used for signal connections between devices in electronic equipment, such as electronic exchanges. For example, as shown in FIG.
Rectangular duct 1 in the depth direction placed in the gap between
It is accommodated in 02. Then, the entire weight of the hanging cable 100 acts on the cable part on the ceiling side supported by the shelf, etc. Therefore, the corner part of this shelf etc.
Therefore, key points of the hanging cable 100 are fixed to the duct 102 to prevent such inconvenience caused by the weight of the cable 100. The cable 100 is fixed by tying the cable 100 to a holder (not shown) of the duct 102 with a nylon band or the like.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, when fixing the cable 100 with a nylon band or the like, the wider the duct 102 in the width direction, the easier the work will be, and the more cables 100 can be accommodated, but in reality, the space efficiency of equipment installation will be reduced. On the other hand, the gap between the devices 101, that is, the width of the duct 102 is limited to be narrow. Therefore, even though there is sufficient space in the depth direction of the duct, it cannot be used from the standpoint of workability, and the number of cables accommodated is similarly limited.
It is also difficult to perform fixing work.

In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a cable support structure that eliminates the need for conventional cable fixing work using nylon bands, can hold cables extremely simply and reliably, and can accommodate and support a large number of cables. What should I do?

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above problems, according to the present invention, a comb tooth is provided in which a plurality of flexible clamping pieces are arranged in parallel to support the cable to be arranged in the vertical direction at key points and to clamp the cable from both sides. In a cable support structure having at least two vertically shaped cable support members, the upper cable support member is arranged to be shifted a predetermined distance rearward from the lower side, and the cable between the upper and lower cable support members is pressed. A feature of the structure is that a detachable cable holding member is provided to bend the cable.

[For production]

Because the upper cable support member is shifted rearward than the lower cable support member, and because the cable holding member presses and bends the cable between the upper and lower cable support members, the cable is bent in a predetermined manner, and therefore the cable is securely bent. The cable is supported. Furthermore, these cable support members are composed of a plurality of flexible clamping pieces arranged in parallel, and can support a large number of cables.

〔Example〕

The present invention will be explained below based on illustrated embodiments.

1 to 5 are diagrams showing an embodiment of a cable support structure according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a comb-shaped cable support member in which a plurality of flexible clamping pieces 2 (three in the illustrated embodiment) are arranged in parallel to clamp the cable to be supported from both sides. The clamping piece 2 has an inclined surface whose width becomes narrower toward the front end thereof, and a cylindrical member 3 at the tip thereof to prevent the cable from jumping out forward. is provided. 4 is the cable support member 1
is the guide member to which the guide member 4 is attached.
It exhibits an integral structure in which two side plate parts 5, 6 are bridged and connected by a back plate part 7 on the upper side. Both side plate parts 5
．． Bent portions 8 and 9 are respectively provided on the lower side of the cable support member 6 to form a surface for mounting the cable support member 1. Further, another cable support member 1 is attached to the inner side of the back plate portion 7.

Therefore, both cable support members 1 are spaced apart from each other in the vertical direction with respect to the guide member 4, and the upper cable support member is arranged to be shifted a predetermined distance rearward than the lower cable support member.

FIG. 2 shows a state in which a cable is actually fitted into the cable support member 1 attached to such a guide member 4. The cable 100 hanging down from above is first inserted between the adjacent clamping pieces 2 of the upper supporting member 1 or between the side plate parts 5
．． 6 and the clamping piece 2, and is further clamped and supported by another cable support member 1 on the diagonally lower front side of the cable clamping part in the same manner as on the upper side. The weight of the cable below this clamping part acts on the clamping part by the cable support member 1 on the lower side, and this
It is supported by the frictional force between 00 and the flexible clamping piece 2. In addition, a cable holding member 10 as shown in FIG. 4 is stacked and attached to the guide member 4 so as to hold down the cable 100 from the front side, and as shown in FIG. cable 1
Since the cable 100 is pressed from the front side to the rear side and bent, a new frictional force is generated at this pressing part due to the elastic restoring force of the cable 100, so that the weight of the cable on the lower side is completely and well received. become.

In the cable holding member 10, instead of attaching the cable supporting member 1 to the guide member 4, a plate material 11 bent at different levels is attached, and the stepped corner portions 12 of this plate material 11 exclusively contact the cable 100, Press this.

The cable holding member 10 and the guide member 4 are connected by hook-shaped protrusions 5b, 6b that protrude toward the front side of the guide member 4 in notches 5a, 5a formed in the side plates 5, 6 of the cable holding member 10. This is done by fitting them into each other.

Since the side plates 5.6 of the guide member 4 are detachable from each other, the guide member 4 with the cable 100 attached to the cable support member 1 can be successively installed in multiple stages as shown in FIG. The hook-shaped projections 5b, 6 of the guide member 4 can be stacked neatly, for example in the duct 102.
By providing the hook-shaped protrusion 15 that can perform the same function as b, it is possible to efficiently accommodate the hook-shaped protrusion in the duct 102 simply by hooking it from the front side.

As described above, since the cable 100 is held by the cable support member 1 and is bent in a predetermined manner by the cable support member 1 and the cable holding member 10 which are placed in front of each other, the cable 100 can be held securely without slipping downward. can be retained.

Moreover, since the guide members 4 can be stacked on each other, and the cable support member 1 is composed of the comb-shaped clamping pieces 2, the cable 100 can be easily attached, and, for example, the engagement between the guide members 4 on the left and right sides is A large number of cables 100 can be compactly accommodated in multiple stages within a duct 102 that has a width that prevents them from shifting, and the width of the duct 102 installed between devices can be accommodated in the depth direction of the duct 102 without particularly increasing the width dimension of the duct 102. You can use the empty space effectively without wasting it.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to support a large number of vertically arranged cables at important points extremely simply and reliably. Therefore, high-density arrangement of equipment is possible, and effects such as a substantial reduction in floor space can be obtained.
