Description

Raceway {Raceway}

The present invention relates to improvements in raceways, and in particular, to improvements in raceways used to install wires or cables connected to various lighting fixtures, CCTV cameras, etc.

Generally, a raceway is a type of wiring duct that is installed exposed on the ceiling of a large indoor space, a parking lot of a large building, or a machine room, and is often used to allow installation of lighting fixtures, etc. underneath.

In the prior art of such a raceway, there are some that do not divide the internal space of the raceway so that all wires can be wired together regardless of the type of wires being wired, and some are different types of wires such as strong and weak electric wires. Some have partition walls formed inside the raceway so that cables can be installed separately without mutual interference.

The former is disclosed in the Public Utility Model Publication No. 20-2009-0002456 (name of design: combined structure of raceway and lighting fixture, designer: Ko Jae-wan et al. 1), and the latter is registration number 10-1522389. (Title of the invention: Raceway for installing lighting equipment or CCTV cameras, inventor Jang Bo-young) disclosed in the registered patent publication.

A further look at the conventional raceway with reference to the attached FIGS. 1 and 2 is as follows.

Figure 1 is a perspective view showing an example of a general raceway, and Figure 2 is a perspective view showing an example of a raceway with a separator formed in the internal space.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the raceway 10 is comprised of a bottom portion 11 and wall portions 13 on both sides extending upward from both edges of the bottom portion 11. A hole 12 is formed in the bottom portion 11 to allow wires, etc. to be drawn downward and connected to lighting fixtures, etc. The hole 12 may not be formed in the bottom 11 of the raceway 10 to provide only a wiring path for wires, etc., without the need to pull out wires, etc.

Side grooves 14 are formed on both side wall portions 13 to enable coupling to other members such as cross-shaped connecting members or to coupling to hangers, etc. Since this raceway 10 has the same cross-sectional shape over its entire length, it is generally made by extrusion.

Among the raceways 10 above, in places where it is necessary to classify and accommodate various cables or wires according to type, a separator 15 installed parallel to the walls 13 on both sides in the inner space is installed as shown in FIG. 2. The formed raceway 10 is used, and in places where it is not necessary to separately accommodate various cables or wires, the raceway 10 without a separator is used, as shown in FIG. 1.

That is, conventionally, one type of raceway 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 must be selected and used depending on whether there is a need to separate cables or wires.

In addition, if both those shown in FIG. 1 and those shown in FIG. 2 are used, such as in a large underground parking lot, the demand for both must be accurately predicted and each must be prepared as necessary. If the demand forecast is incorrect or the wiring plan is changed, the remaining It has the disadvantage of having to return or discard what is missing and having to prepare again what is missing. In this case, the necessary raceway 10 may not be supplied on time, which may cause damage due to construction delays.

In addition, conventionally, the entire raceway 10 must be manufactured separately depending on the presence or absence of the separator 15 in the internal space, so a separate mold for separately manufacturing the entire raceway 10 is required, and the manufacturing cost is high.

In addition, when performing wiring work using the conventional raceway 10 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the length of the section where the separator 15 is needed and the section where the separator 15 is not needed are determined by the length of the raceway 10 that has already been made. If the length does not match, there is the inconvenience of having to cut the entire raceway 10 to an appropriate length and connect the two types of raceways 10 to each other.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a raceway that can be used regardless of whether it is necessary to classify and accommodate various cables, wires, etc. according to type.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a raceway that allows flexible wiring work planning.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a raceway that can reduce problems such as construction delays even when the demand forecast for the raceway is incorrect or the wiring plan is changed.

Another object of the present invention is that one type of mold can be reduced in size without the need to separately manufacture two types of large molds for manufacturing a raceway with a separator and a raceway without a separator, respectively. The goal is to provide a raceway that can reduce the cost of manufacturing.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a raceway that not only allows the separator to be firmly coupled, but also allows the separator to be easily attached and detached.

The raceway according to the present invention includes a bottom portion with a separator mounting portion formed on the inner surface; and a side wall that is installed parallel to the bottom at left and right intervals and forms a wiring channel for wires or cables or wires and cables together with the bottom.

The separator mounting portion is configured to include a first protrusion formed on the bottom and a second protrusion formed at a distance from the first protrusion and disposed parallel to the first protrusion, and a portion of the first protrusion includes the second protrusion. It is formed to protrude toward the bottom to form a first coupling groove that opens toward the second protrusion together with the bottom portion, and a portion of the second protrusion is formed to protrude toward the first protrusion and forms a first coupling groove with the bottom portion. It is preferable to include forming a second coupling groove that is open toward the first protrusion.

It is preferable that the first coupling groove is formed deeper than the second coupling groove and the second coupling groove is formed shallower than the first coupling groove.

and a separator that is detachably coupled to the separator mounting portion and divides the wiring channel, wherein the separator is integrally formed with a detachable coupling portion that can be detachably coupled to the separator mounting portion and the detachable coupling portion, and the bottom portion. It is preferable that the wiring channel is provided with a partition extending in a direction away from and dividing the wiring channel.

In some cases, it may include a separator that is detachably coupled to the separator mounting portion to divide the wiring channel, and the separator is integrally formed with a detachable coupling portion that can be detachably coupled to the separator mounting portion and the detachable coupling portion. It is configured to include a partition part extending in a direction away from the bottom part to partition the wiring channel, and the detachable coupling part is bent from the partition part toward the first coupling groove to be coupled to the first coupling groove. It may be configured to include a coupling protrusion and a second coupling protrusion that can be bent from the partition toward the second coupling groove and coupled to the second coupling groove.

The first coupling protrusion is connected to the partition through a first branch formed upward and downward by branching from the partition and a parallel part extending parallel to the floor from the first branch and coupled to the first coupling groove. Configured so that the second coupling protrusion is branched from the partition and formed upward and downward, is connected to the partition through a second branch arranged to be spaced apart from the first branch, and is coupled to the second coupling groove. It is more preferable that the second coupling protrusion is configured to be coupled to the second coupling groove at a shallower depth than the first coupling protrusion after the first coupling protrusion is coupled to the first coupling groove. .

According to the present invention, the manufacturing cost of the raceway can be reduced, and the separator can be combined or separated depending on whether it is necessary to partition the wiring channel, making it convenient to use.

According to the present invention, wiring planning is easy and it is possible to adapt to changes in the wiring plan.

Additionally, according to the present invention, not only is the separator easy to attach and detach, but the separator can be maintained in a solidly mounted state.

In addition, according to the present invention, even if the length of the wiring channel section that requires a separator and the wiring channel section that does not need a separator do not match the length of the already made raceway, only the separator can be cut and used without cutting the entire raceway, thus saving wiring work. It's easy.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

Referring to FIGS. 3 to 8, the raceway 100 according to the present invention is installed in parallel with the bottom 110 at intervals left and right on the bottom 110 and is connected to the bottom 110 and the wire or cable. Alternatively, it has a side wall 130 that forms a wiring channel 120 for wires and cables.

A hole 112 may be formed at a necessary location of the bottom 110 to allow an electric wire or cable to be connected to a lighting fixture, etc. to be pulled out.

Each side wall 130 is formed with a side groove 132 for connecting to another member such as a cross connecting member or for hanging a hanger. Preferably, the side walls 130 are formed along both edges of the bottom portion 110.

As shown, a separator mounting portion 140 is formed on the inner surface of the bottom portion 110. This separator mounting portion 140 is intended to enable the separator 150, which will be described later, to be detachably mounted.

Preferably, the separator mounting part 140 has a first protrusion 141 and a second protrusion 146 formed on the bottom part 110 at a position away from the wall part 130. The first protrusion 141 and the second protrusion 146 are formed at intervals and are arranged parallel to each other.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 5, the first protrusion 141 is provided with a first locking protrusion 142 that protrudes so that a portion, preferably an upper portion, faces the second protrusion 146 to form a bottom portion ( 110) together with the first coupling groove 143 that is open toward the second protrusion 146, and the second protrusion 146 preferably protrudes so that a portion of its upper end faces the first protrusion 141. It is provided with a second locking protrusion 147 to form a second coupling groove 148 that opens toward the first protrusion 141 together with the bottom portion 110. Here, in order to make the separator 150 easier to attach and detach, the first coupling groove 143 is formed laterally and deeper, and the second coupling groove 148 is laterally shallower than the first coupling groove 143. is formed

The separator 150 is designed to be detachably coupled to the separator mounting portion 140 as needed to serve to partition the wiring channel 120, and is detachable to be detachably coupled to the separator mounting portion 140. It is formed integrally with the coupling portion 151 and the detachable coupling portion 151 and extends in a direction away from the bottom portion 110 when mounted on the separator mounting portion 140 to connect the wiring channel 120 to the first channel 121. and a partition 156 dividing it into a second channel 123. The partition 156 has an inclined portion 157 extending obliquely upward from the detachable coupling portion 151 depending on the location of the separator mounting portion 140, the required size of the first channel 121 or the second channel 123, etc. You can have it.

Referring to Figures 5 to 7, the detachable coupling portion 151 is bent toward the first coupling groove 143 in the partition 156 and has a first coupling protrusion 152 that can be coupled to the first coupling groove 143. ) and a second coupling protrusion 155 that is bent toward the second coupling groove 148 in the partition portion 156 and can be coupled to the second coupling groove 148.

Preferably, as can be seen in FIG. 6, the first coupling protrusion 152 has a first branch 153 that branches off from the partition 156 and is formed upward and downward, and a bottom in the first branch 153. It is connected to the partition part 156 through a parallel part 153a extending parallel to the part 110 and is configured to be coupled to the first coupling groove 143.

The second coupling protrusion 155 is formed vertically by branching from the partition 156 and is connected to the partition 156 through the second branch 154 disposed spaced apart from the first branch 153. It is configured to be coupled to the 2 coupling groove (148). When the second coupling protrusion 155 is coupled to the second coupling groove 148, the first branch 153 and the second branch 154 can be elastically deformed together, so the detachable coupling part 151 is It can be easily mounted and disassembled on the separator mounting portion 140, and because it has elasticity, the joint state after assembly is also strong.

In the raceway 100 configured as above, with the first coupling protrusion 152 inserted into the first coupling groove 143 as shown in FIG. 7, when the separator 150 is pressed downward, the first minute The base 153 and the second branch 154 are elastically deformed together, allowing the second coupling protrusion 155 to be elastically coupled to the second coupling groove 148.

That is, the second coupling protrusion 155 is coupled to the second coupling groove 148 after the first coupling protrusion 152 is coupled to the first coupling groove 143, and the first coupling protrusion 152 is coupled to the second coupling groove 148. It is coupled to the second coupling groove 148 at a depth shallower than the depth. In this way, the wiring channel 120 can be divided into a first channel 121 and a second channel 123, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 8.

In the state of FIG. 8, when the separator 150 is to be separated from the separator mounting portion 140, when the partition portion 156 is pushed toward the first protrusion 141, the separator 150 rotates and the first branch portion ( 153) and the second branch portion 154 are elastically deformed together, and the second coupling protrusion 155 is separated from the second coupling groove 148. Next, by separating the first coupling protrusion 152 from the first coupling groove 143, the separator 150 can be separated from the separator mounting part 140.

When performing wiring work using the raceway 100 according to the present invention as described above, the separator 150 is installed in sections where it is necessary to separate and route wires or cables only up to a certain section, and separate wiring is not required. Wiring work can be done in the unused section without combining the separator 150, making wiring work easy, establishing a wiring work plan, and adaptively responding to changes in the wiring work plan.

Additionally, when using an existing raceway, the entire raceway with or without a separator must be cut and then connected to each other. However, when using the raceway 100 according to the present invention, the separator 150 can be mounted or removed from the separator mounting portion 140, and the section where the separator 150 should be installed is the length of the separator 150 that has already been created. Even if it does not fit, there is also the advantage that wiring work is very easy because only the separator 150 needs to be cut to the required length and installed.

The present invention has the potential to be used to make a raceway used for wiring work such as wires or cables.
