As an optional embodiment, the liquid crystal display screen displays the name of the equipment contained in the outdoor box, related operation information, etc. In this way, it can be avoided that the outdoor boxes are currently marked by spraying paint or pasting signboards after installation. The paint spraying and signboards used in the open air environment will age and blur with the increase of use time, thereby resulting in the technical defect that the outdoor boxes cannot be identified. Moreover, the maintenance of outdoor equipment of railway signals is mostly carried out at night. Blurred or aged markings will increase the difficulty of maintenance, while marking with a liquid crystal display screen can also be well identified at night. Moreover, the outdoor box adopts a detachable assembly, which is convenient for storage and transportation and reduces the space required for storage and transportation.

[0098] In the embodiment of the present invention, as an optional embodiment, the drainage box body and the drainage cover are made of aluminum alloy structure, and the suspension ball is a plastic ball. The water introduced by the drainage groove flows into the funnel-shaped through hole opened on the drainage box body through the strip-shaped through groove opened on the drainage cover, and the water entering the drainage device gradually increases. When it reaches a certain amount, the buoyancy of the suspension ball is greater than its own gravity, and the suspension ball floats up, so that the spherical surface of the suspension ball no longer fits with the surface of the funnel-shaped through hole, and the water is discharged from the outdoor box through the bottom through hole at the bottom of the funnel-shaped through hole drainage device. After the water is discharged, the suspension ball relies on its own gravity, and the spherical surface of the suspension ball fits with the surface of the funnel-shaped through hole again.

[0099] In the embodiment of the present application, the water drain box body is a funnel-shaped hollow structure, which is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The strip-shaped lugs can perfectly fit into the water drain device installation groove on the bottom plate of the box.

[0100] In the embodiment of the present application, the strip-shaped lug of the drain box body is first aligned with the recessed slot on the drain device installation groove, thereby installing the drain box body into the drain device installation groove, and then the suspension ball is placed into the drain box body, and finally the lug of the drain cover is aligned with the recessed slot of the drain device installation groove and placed on the drain box body.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present invention, the length of the recessed slot for accommodating the strip-shaped lug on the installation groove of the drainage device is greater than or equal to the sum of the height of the drainage box body and the height of the drainage cover.

[0102] In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to effectively protect the signal outdoor equipment in the outdoor box, as an optional embodiment, the outdoor box further includes:

[0103] The box lock is placed and fixed in the box body lock structure placement hole 609 opened on the box cover, the box lock retractable lock tongue placement hole 610, and the front side plate lock hole 403 of the front side plate 103 to lock the box cover and the box body.

[0104] In the embodiment of the present invention, the box lock (not shown in the figure) is a closed structure, with a small size near the keyhole and a large size away from the keyhole. The box lock is placed in the box body lock structure placement hole 609 of the box cover, and the long tail of the box lock (away from the keyhole) can be inserted into the front side plate lock hole 403 of the box body front side plate 103. At this time, when the key is turned, the lock tongue of the box lock will extend and enter the box lock retractable lock tongue placement hole 610 on the box cover, completing the locking of the box cover and the box body.

[0105] During installation, the long tail portion of the box lock first passes through the box body lock structure placement hole 609 opened on the box cover, and then enters the front side plate lock hole 403 of the front side plate 103.

[0106] In the embodiment of the present invention, the retractable lock tongue of the box lock enters into the retractable lock tongue placement hole of the box lock. The key hole can be a lock hole of a special shape. After a key suitable for it is inserted, the retractable lock tongue is connected to the rotating structure through the connected retractable lock tongue, and the retractable lock tongue is retracted when the lock hole is rotated.

[0107] In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to monitor the outdoor box and prevent theft, as an optional embodiment, the outdoor box further includes:

[0108] The positioning device (not shown in the figure) is set on the inner wall of the outdoor box, and is used to locate the outdoor box according to the preset period, and transmit the detected positioning information of the outdoor box to the display controller. When the detected positioning information of the box changes beyond the preset distance threshold, the display controller generates an alarm message and transmits it to the station maintenance management center. After receiving the alarm message, the station maintenance management center gives an alarm prompt to remind the maintenance and management personnel of the signal equipment to handle it. In this way, the outdoor box can be monitored to avoid theft, and the alarm information can be given in time when the outdoor box is stolen, which can meet the high anti-theft requirements for the outdoor box.

[0109] In the embodiment of the present invention, as another optional embodiment, the outdoor box further includes:

[0110] A vibration sensing device (not shown in the figure) is arranged on the inner wall of the outdoor box, and is used to detect the vibration information of the outdoor box, and transmit the detected vibration information of the outdoor box to the display controller. When the detected box vibration value exceeds the specified threshold, the display controller outputs an alarm message and transmits it to the station maintenance management center. After receiving the alarm message, the station maintenance management center gives an alarm prompt to remind the maintenance personnel of the signal equipment to handle it.
