[0033] The present invention is described in detail below. In the following paragraphs, various aspects of the embodiments are defined in more detail. Each aspect defined in this manner may be combined with any other aspect or aspects unless expressly stated not to be combinable. In particular, any feature considered to be preferred or advantageous may be combined with one or more other features considered to be preferred or advantageous.

[0034] The terms "first" and "second" appearing in the present invention are only for the convenience of description to distinguish different components with the same name, and do not indicate a priority or primary and secondary relationship.

[0035] In the description of the present invention, the directions or positional relationships indicated by “upper”, “lower”, “top”, “bottom”, “front”, “back”, “inside” and “outside” are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only used to facilitate the description of the present invention. They do not indicate or imply that the device referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 5cAs shown, the present invention provides a wire threading box, which in an illustrative embodiment includes: a fixed installation component and a wire threading terminal 4, the fixed installation component is used to be arranged on the wiring obstacle 1, and the wire threading terminal 4 is arranged on the fixed installation component, and is configured to allow the wire to pass through the wire threading terminal 4 from one side of the wiring obstacle 1 and then be led out from the other side, and to limit and fix the passed wire. For example, the wiring obstacle 1 can be a wall or the wall of a box, etc., and the wall of the box can be made of iron sheets or wooden boards. The wire located on the inside of the wiring obstacle 1 can be led out from the outside after passing through the wire threading terminal 4, or the wire located on the outside of the wiring obstacle 1 can also be introduced into the inside after passing through the wire threading terminal 4. Among them, one or more wire threading terminals 4 can be provided, and one or a bundle of wires can be provided in a single wire threading terminal 4.

[0037] This type of wire drawer is suitable for routing wires or pipelines, including power lines, signal lines, communication lines, or optical cables. In one application, this type of wire drawer is used to route wiring for electrical equipment inside a container. The wiring outside the wire drawer terminals 4 is connected to the power supply, while the wiring inside the wire drawer terminals 4 is connected to the electrical equipment. In another application, this type of wire drawer is used to route wiring through a wall. Wires inside the wall can be routed uniformly through the wire drawer to the outside of the wall, creating a neat and aesthetically pleasing layout.

[0038] The wiring method of this embodiment of the present invention has at least one of the following advantages:

[0039] 1. Simple operation, easy to thread during installation, easy to disassemble during maintenance, and will not cause damage to the components in the threading box.

[0040] 2. By designing the layout and size specifications of the wiring terminals, the wiring can be designed in advance to achieve standardized wiring, which is more beautiful and can be used in occasions where high requirements are placed on the aesthetics of the wiring.

[0041] 3. By fixing the installation components, the wiring space on both sides of the wiring obstacle is separated. The line part inside the wiring obstacle does not need a casing, so the internal line can be separated from the external environment, achieving waterproofing inside the line inlet. On the basis of achieving waterproofing, it makes wiring simpler and makes the line maintenance more flexible and convenient.

[0042] In this embodiment, the wires on both sides of the wiring obstacle 1 are an integral structure, and the wire threading terminal 4 can limit and fix the wires passing through it. In a specific embodiment, the wire threading terminal 4 includes: an elastic locking member and a knob, the elastic locking member is used to lock the wire passing through it, and the knob is mounted outside the elastic locking member and is used to adjust the pre-tightening force of the elastic locking member on the wire by screwing to lock or loosen the wire. Specifically, the elastic locking member is a hollow cylindrical structure, the inner end of the cylindrical structure is provided with a thread, and the outer end has vertical slots arranged at intervals along the circumference on the side wall to form an elastic member, and the knob can be mounted outside the elastic locking member through an intermediate member and screwed into the thread at the bottom of the elastic locking member.

[0043] To thread the wire, turn the knob in a first direction, causing the slotted end of the elastic locking member to expand outward, reducing the clamping force on the wire and allowing smooth threading. Once the wire is connected, turn the knob in a second direction, opposite the first, forcing the slotted end of the elastic locking member inward to secure the wire. To remove the wire, simply loosen the knob for easier wire replacement. Furthermore, adjusting the tightness of the knob adjusts the preload on the wire.

[0044] Furthermore, the threading terminal 4 may also include a fixing nut. After the threading terminal 4 passes through the mounting hole, the fixing nut can be used to fix the threading terminal 4.

[0045] The pre-tightening degree of the threading terminal 4 is adjustable. When threading is required, the threading terminal 4 is loosened and tightened after the wiring is completed. This wiring method will increase the reliability of the line. When the line is an electric wire, the insulation reliability can be improved, and the wiring and line replacement operations are relatively simple.

[0046] If the wire inside the wiring obstacle 1 is damaged, the line can be replaced internally if there is enough space inside. If the internal space is insufficient, first loosen the wire terminal 4, and then pull out the wire from the outside of the wiring obstacle 1 for replacement. This will not damage the components in the wire box when replacing the wire.

[0047] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fixed installation component includes a fixing base 2 and a mounting base 3. The fixing base 2 is used to be installed on the wiring obstacle 1, the mounting base 3 is installed on the fixing base 2, and the wire terminal 4 is installed on the mounting base 3. This embodiment makes it easier to install the wire terminal 4, and can place a junction box or other components that touch the inside of the wiring obstacle 1. The positioning of the mounting base 3 relative to the fixing base 2 can also be adjusted as needed to meet the installation space requirements of the wire terminal 4. In addition, it makes the installation of the wire box more convenient.

[0048] In some embodiments, a mounting hole is provided on the wiring obstacle 1, and the mounting hole can be a through hole or a hole with a mounting interface at the bottom. The fixing seat 2 and the mounting seat 3 are both shell-like structures, and the fixing seat 2 has an open end. The fixing seat 2 is embedded in the mounting hole with the open end facing the outside of the wiring obstacle 1, and the mounting seat 3 is embedded in the inner cavity of the fixing seat 2 from the open end of the fixing seat 2.

[0049] In this embodiment, the fixing seat 2 is embedded in the mounting hole on the wiring obstacle 1, which can make the installation of the fixing seat 2 more secure and reduce the additional space occupied outside the wiring obstacle 1. The fixing seat 2 is designed as a shell-like structure for easy fixation, and also leaves ample space for setting up the mounting seat 3 inside it, so as to arrange more wire terminals 4 when needed. The mounting seat 3 is designed as a shell-like structure for easy setting of the wire terminals 4 and is conducive to the nested installation of the mounting seat 3 and the fixing seat 2.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, wiring obstacle 1 is a box, such as a container, which can be made of iron sheet. A mounting hole is provided in the side wall of the box, and a fixing base 2 is inserted into the mounting hole, with the outer end flush with the outer edge of the mounting hole and the inner end occupying the internal space of the box. To ensure reliable positioning of fixing base 2, fixing base 2 can be installed together with other components in the box and then welded to the outer edge of the mounting hole.

[0051] Preferably, the cross-sectional shapes of the mounting base 3 and the fixing base 2 are adapted to each other, so that nested installation can be easily achieved and positioning can be achieved when the mounting base 3 is embedded in the fixing base 2. The cross-sectional shapes of the mounting base 3 and the fixing base 2 can be circular, elliptical or polygonal.

[0052] Preferably, the cross-sectional dimensions of the fixing seat 2 and the mounting seat 3 gradually decrease along the embedding direction, which can play a positioning and guiding role when the fixing seat 2 is embedded into the mounting hole and the mounting seat 3 is embedded into the fixing seat 2, thereby achieving quick installation and reducing the requirements for processing accuracy.

[0053] Furthermore, the sidewalls of mounting base 3 and fixing base 2 have the same degree of inclination. This allows the entire sidewall of mounting base 3 to contact the sidewall of fixing base 2 after it is inserted into fixing base 2, facilitating welding and improving the stability and firmness of the installation. Alternatively, the installation position and positioning of mounting base 3 can be ensured by varying the inclination of the sidewalls of mounting base 3. The inclination of the sidewalls of mounting base 3 is determined by the depth of the mounting base 3 positioned within fixing base 2.

[0054] like Figures 4a to 4c As shown, the cross section of the mounting seat 3 is rectangular and each side wall is trapezoidal, and the position of the mounting seat 3 can be ensured by controlling the size of the trapezoidal angle. Figures 5a to 5cAs shown, the cross section of the fixing base 2 is rectangular and each side wall is trapezoidal. Such a shape of the mounting base 3 and the fixing base 2 is easy to install and also convenient for the construction party to construct a matching shape on the wall or the side wall of the box.

[0055] Alternatively, the cross sections of the fixing seat 2 and the mounting seat 3 are both circular, and the whole forms a truncated cone structure.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the outer end of the fixing base 2 is no higher than the outer surface of the wiring barrier 1. For example, the outer end of the fixing base 2 can be flush with the outer surface of the wiring barrier 1. This allows the wire feed box to be completely embedded in the wiring barrier 1 without occupying additional space. Furthermore, the outer end of the mounting base 3 is lower than the outer end of the fixing base 2, which can better sink the wire feed terminal 4 into the fixing base 2 to provide protection for the wire feed terminal 4.

[0057] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, multiple wire terminals 4 are provided, each of which passes a single wire through it. The dimensions of each wire terminal 4 are consistent, or at least some of the wire terminals 4 have different dimensions. This structure allows for a large number of wires to be routed separately based on the different wire terminals 4, allowing for simultaneous routing of wires as they enter. This wire box is inexpensive and simple to manufacture, and the number and dimensions of the wire entry ports can be adjusted as required.

[0058] More preferably, the threading terminal 4 is a waterproof threading terminal. By adopting the waterproof threading terminal, external water can be prevented from entering the inner side of the wiring obstacle 1, so as to achieve a higher waterproof level.

[0059] In some embodiments, the fixing base 2 is sealed and fixed to the wiring obstacle 1, and the mounting base 3 is sealed and fixed to the fixing base 2. Specifically, welding and / or applying sealant can be used for fixing. When the wiring obstacle 1 is made of metal, welding can be used for fixing, and sealant can be applied. When the wiring obstacle 1 is a wall, sealant can be used for fixing.

[0060] like Figure 5a As shown, the bottom of the fixing seat 2 is provided with a through slot 21 and an installation interface 22. The through slot 21 is used for the wire to pass through, and the installation interface 22 is used to install the fixing seat 2 on the wiring obstacle 1. Figure 3 As shown, four mounting interfaces 22 are provided at the bottom of the shell-shaped fixing base 2. The fixing base 2 can be set on the electrical box inside the wiring obstacle 1 through four rivet nuts 5. Various drive boards or control boards are placed in the electrical box.

[0061] Still refer to Figure 5aA recessed portion 23 is provided in the lower area of the outer end of the fixing base 2. For example, the fixing base 2 is a shell structure with a rectangular cross-section, and a recessed portion 23 is provided on the bottom edge of the outer end so that the wires led out from each wiring terminal 4 enter the recessed portion 23 when bending downward.

[0062] like Figure 4a and 5a , there are notches at the four corners of the fixing seat 2 and the mounting seat 3, which makes processing more convenient.

[0063] refer to Figure 1 The installation process of the wire box of the present invention is as follows:

[0064] 1. Insert the fixing seat 2 into the mounting hole of the wiring barrier 1, and make the outer end of the fixing seat 2 flush with the outer surface of the wiring barrier 1. For example, fix the outer edge of the fixing seat 2 to the mounting hole on the wiring barrier 1 by welding, or apply sealant.

[0065] 2. Insert the mounting seat 3 into the cavity of the fixing seat 2 from the outside to the inside. Position it through the trapezoidal side wall. Then weld the outer edge of the mounting seat 3 to the inner wall of the fixing seat 2, or apply sealant.

[0066] 3. The bottom of the mounting base 3 is provided with a hole. The threading terminal 4 is fixed to the corresponding hole from the side of the mounting base 3 with the inner cavity. The advantage of fixing the mounting base 3 first and then the threading terminal 4 is that it prevents the threading terminal from being damaged by high temperature during the welding process of the mounting base 3.

[0067] 4. With threading terminal 4 loose, insert the wire through threading terminal 4 for wiring. For example, you can insert the wire from the outside of wiring obstacle 1 inward. After wiring, tighten threading terminal 4 to not only secure the wire in place but also provide better waterproofing.

[0068] When the line is damaged and needs to be repaired, the threading terminal 4 can be loosened first, and then the line is pulled out from the outside for replacement. In this way, the various components in the threading box will not be damaged when the line is replaced.

[0069] The above is a detailed introduction to the threading box provided by the present invention. Specific embodiments are used herein to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and core ideas of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, without departing from the principles of the present invention, several improvements and modifications can be made to the present invention, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
