While this solution can solve the drainage problem, its drawback is that, in the event of a fire, the fire can easily enter the cable trough through the drainage holes, causing the cables to catch fire, and in severe cases, explosion. Furthermore, if a cable fire occurs, the fire can easily spread from the drainage holes to the outside world, causing a large-scale fire outside and causing significant property damage. Summary of the Invention

Specific embodiments

[0026] To make the object, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] The following will further illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention with reference to the drawings and through specific embodiments.

[0028] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationships indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0029] Such as Figure 1As shown, the present invention provides a drainage type fire-resistant trough box, comprising a C-shaped main body 1 mounted on a wall, and a C-shaped cover plate 2 fixedly nested on the C-shaped main body 1, the C-shaped main body 1 is provided with a drainage hole 3 that penetrates the outside world on the lower bottom surface along the gravity direction, and a baffle 4 is provided in the C-shaped main body 1 that can fall under the action of gravity to cover the drainage hole 3, and the baffle 4 is mounted on both sides of the drainage hole 3 by hot-melt support strips 5 that melt when heated.

[0030] The core point of the present invention is that the baffle 4 is erected above the drainage hole 3 by means of the hot-melt support strip 5. Since the width of the baffle 4 is smaller than the width of the C-shaped main body 1, the moisture in the C-shaped main body 1 can flow unimpeded from both sides of the baffle 4 to the lower bottom surface of the C-shaped main body 1 and be discharged through the drainage hole 3; and when a fire occurs outside the C-shaped main body 1 and the C-shaped cover plate 2, the hot-melt support strip 5 is melted by the heat, and the baffle 4, which has lost the support of the hot-melt support strip 5, falls under the action of gravity and seals the drainage hole 3; and when the cable inside the C-shaped main body 1 and the C-shaped cover plate 2 catches fire, the baffle 4 seals the drainage hole 3 to prevent the fire from spreading outward.

[0031] It should be noted that in real life, there are many possible installation directions of the C-shaped body 1, so in this solution, the baffle 4 is set on the lower bottom surface of the C-shaped body 1 in the direction of gravity so that the device is not affected by the C-shaped body 1.

[0032] The hot melt support strip 5 is a strip structure made of EVA hot melt adhesive material.

[0033] EVA hot melt adhesive is a solvent-free, water-free, 100% solid, fusible polymer. It is solid at room temperature but becomes a fluid, viscous liquid adhesive when heated and melted to a certain degree. Once melted, it appears light brown, translucent, or off-white. Generally, the melting point of EVA hot melt adhesive is around 80°C, and the flame temperature is much higher than this melting point.

[0034] Since the hot-melt support strip 5 turns into a colloid after melting, part of the colloid flows out of the drainage hole 3 and the remaining part of the colloid adheres to the contact surface between the U-shaped body 1 and the baffle 4, achieving a bonding and sealing effect.

[0035] The drainage hole 3 is provided at the middle of the lower bottom surface of the U-shaped body 1 in the width direction.

[0036] The mounting surface on the U-shaped main body 1 for mounting the hot melt support strip 5 is an inwardly concave arc surface with a height gradually decreasing from the edges on both sides to the center in the width direction.

[0037] The lower surface of the baffle 4 is in contact with the mounting surface.

[0038] The width of the baffle 4 is smaller than the width of the U-shaped body 1 .

[0039] Since the mounting surface on the U-shaped main body 1 for mounting the hot-melt support strip 5 is an inwardly concave arc surface, and the drainage hole 3 is arranged in the middle of the width direction of the inwardly concave arc surface, this can facilitate the rapid flow of moisture from the edges of both sides of the mounting surface to the middle of the width direction of the inwardly concave arc surface, that is, quickly flow to the drainage hole 3, which is conducive to the rapid discharge of moisture.

[0040] Furthermore, by making the contact surface between the baffle 4 and the U-shaped body 1 arc-shaped, the contact between the two can be made more stable and not easy to slide to the left or right. The contact area between the two can also be increased, making the sealing of the connection between the two stronger, thereby enhancing the fire prevention and isolation effects.

[0041] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, both sides of the baffle 4 are provided with drainage channels 6, and the outer side of the drainage channel 6 is provided with a sliding curved surface 7, a U-shaped groove 8 is provided on the mounting surface, and a flip lock plate 9 is hinged on the side wall of the U-shaped groove 8 away from the drainage hole 3, one end of the flip lock plate 9 is placed on the mounting surface and a locking protrusion 10 is provided on this end, and the other end of the flip lock plate 9 is suspended and provided with an arc-shaped fitting end 11 on this end surface, a fitting plug plate 12 is fixedly installed on the lower bottom surface of the baffle 4 corresponding to the U-shaped groove 8, and a locking groove 13 is provided on the lower bottom surface of the baffle 4 for engaging with the locking protrusion 10 when the flip lock plate 9 is rotated, there is a gap between the fitting plug plate 12 and the side wall of the fitting plug plate 12 close to the flip lock plate 9, and the gap is equal to the width of the flip lock plate 9, and the bottom end of the U-shaped groove 8 is provided with a drainage hole 14 for connecting to the drainage hole 3.

[0042] When the baffle 4 falls down due to the melting of the hot-melt support strip 5, the fitting plug plate 12 falls down with the baffle 4. When the fitting plug plate enters the U-shaped groove 8, the bottom end of the fitting plug block 12 squeezes the right end of the flip lock plate 9, causing the flip lock plate 9 to rotate clockwise. The angle of rotation of the flip lock plate 9 is the angle from its bottom edge to the left side wall of the U-shaped groove 8. Because the flip lock plate 9 rotates following the fitting plug block 12, when the fitting plug block 12 fits with the bottom of the U-shaped groove 8, the flip lock plate 9 fits with the side wall of the U-shaped groove 8. At this time, the locking protrusion 10 on the flip lock plate 9 is just nested in the locking groove 13 by rotation, thereby locking the fitting plug plate 12 in the U-shaped groove 8. The position of the fixing plate 4 in the U-shaped main body 1 is fixed to increase the stability of the baffle 4 cover.

[0043] The water in the U-shaped groove 8 can be guided to the drainage hole 3 for discharge through the drainage hole 14 .

[0044] The drainage channel 6 allows the baffle 4 to be nested and slide on both side walls of the C-shaped body 1 without affecting the drainage function, so as to ensure that the falling trajectory of the baffle 4 is a stable straight line. The sliding curved surface 7 can reduce the friction generated by the drainage channel 6 and the side walls of the C-shaped body 1, making the sliding speed faster and thus reducing the sliding time.
