Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of junction boxes, and in particular to a flameproof junction box for mining. Background Art

[0002] At present, mining flameproof junction boxes are mainly used in dangerous environments such as underground coal mine mining working faces, tunnels and caverns. The junction boxes can be connected to cables of communication system equipment and cables of monitoring system equipment.

[0003] In the related art, a junction box includes a box body and a cover body, wherein the cover body is covered on the box body, a terminal is provided inside the box body, and a through hole communicating with the interior of the box body is opened on the box body.

[0004] Regarding the above-mentioned related technologies, the inventor believes that the through holes on the existing box body are all larger than the diameter of the cable to facilitate the adaptation of cables of different thicknesses. After the cable is passed through the through hole and connected to the terminal, when the diameter of the wire is smaller than the inner diameter of the through hole, the wire is easy to move in the through hole, so it needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to improve the problem of easy displacement of wire positions, the present application provides a mining flameproof junction box.

[0006] This application provides a mining flameproof junction box, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A flameproof junction box for mining, comprising a box body, a accommodating groove being provided at the upper end of the box body, a cover being provided on the box body, at least two wire inlet tubes being provided on the box body, a wire inlet hole being provided at the end face of the wire inlet tube away from the box body for the power line to pass through, a clamping structure being provided on the wire inlet tube, the clamping structure comprising a fixed tube arranged at a side of the wire inlet tube away from the box body and a first movable tube detachably connected to the wire inlet tube, the fixed tube being elastic, a fixed hole communicating with the wire inlet hole being provided at the end face of the fixed tube away from the feed hole, an elastic tube being provided in the fixing hole, a fixing groove being provided at the end face of the fixed tube away from the wire inlet tube, the fixing groove being respectively connected to the inner wall of the fixed tube and the outer circumferential surface of the fixed tube, the first movable tube being provided with a first movable hole at the end face away from the box body, an inclined surface being provided inside the first movable tube, and the first movable tube being driveable for fixed deformation.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the electric wire is inserted into the first movable hole, the fixed hole and the wiring hole, and then the first movable tube is driven to rotate. When the inclined surface contacts the fixed tube, the movable tube applies a force to the fixed tube, causing the fixed tube to deform. The force of the movable tube is transmitted to the elastic tube, causing the elastic tube to deform. Both the fixed tube and the elastic tube are deformed toward the axis of the fixed hole, so that both the fixed tube and the elastic tube can clamp the electric wire. The deformed elastic tube also blocks the wiring hole, making it difficult for outside air and foreign matter to enter the box body, thereby improving the sealing performance of the junction box and improving the safety of the junction box.

[0009] Optionally, the outer diameter of the fixed tube gradually decreases in a direction away from the box body.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the outer circumferential surface of the fixing tube abuts against the inclined surface, the fixing tube is more easily deformed.

[0011] Optionally, a plurality of the fixing grooves are provided, and the plurality of fixing grooves are distributed in a circular array along the axis of the fixing hole.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first movable tube is connected to the wire inlet tube, the fixed tube is more easily deformed, so that the wires can be clamped better.

[0013] Optionally, a side of the elastic tube away from the accommodating groove is fixedly connected to a limiting ring block.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, a limiting ring block is provided. When the limiting ring block abuts against the fixing pipe, the limiting ring block is no longer inserted into the fixing hole, thereby having a limiting effect.

[0015] Optionally, a clamping assembly for clamping the wires is provided on the first movable tube, and the clamping assembly includes a semi-annular operating block arranged on the side of the first movable tube away from the box body, and a support block is provided on the outer circumference of the operating block, and a pressure plate is detachably connected to the support block, and fasteners connecting the two support blocks and the pressure plate are provided between the two support blocks and the pressure plate.

[0016] Optionally, a first baffle is provided on the end surface of the pressure plate away from the support block.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when the pressing plate is mounted on the supporting block, the first baffle can block part of the first movable hole, thereby reducing dust from entering the first movable hole and playing a dust-proof role.

[0018] Optionally, an operating tube is provided on the end face of the operating block away from the first movable tube, an operating hole is opened on the operating tube in the direction away from the operating block, and the outer diameter of the operating tube and the inner diameter of the operating hole gradually increase in the direction away from the first movable tube.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the shape setting of the operating tube and the operating hole makes it easier to insert the wires into the first movable tube and the wire inlet tube, making it convenient to install the wires and the junction box.

[0020] Optionally, a second movable tube is rotatably connected to the inside of the wire inlet tube, and the second movable tube extends into the accommodating groove. A second movable hole connected to the wiring hole is provided on the end face of the second movable tube away from the first movable tube, and a third movable hole connected to the second movable hole is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the second movable tube, and the third movable hole passes through the second movable tube in a direction away from the second movable tube.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the wires are embedded in the third movable hole during the process of being connected to the power terminal block inside the box body after passing through the wire inlet tube and the second movable tube; when the operator adjusts the direction of the clamping structure and drives the first movable ring to rotate, the second movable tube is difficult to rotate due to the limitation of the wires, which reduces the contact between the wires and the first movable tube, and also reduces the scratches between the wires and the first movable tube or the second movable tube, making the outer tube of the wires less likely to be damaged and improving the service life of the wires.

[0022] Optionally, two opposite inner walls of the third movable hole are each provided with an elastic block.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, an elastic block is provided to have a limiting function. When the wire is embedded in the third movable hole, the wire can be prevented from falling out of the third movable hole.

[0024] Optionally, a handle is provided on one side of the box body.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, a handle is provided to facilitate the staff to move the junction box, thereby facilitating transportation.

[0026] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0027] 1. Insert the wires into the first movable hole, the fixed hole, and the wiring hole, then drive the first movable tube to rotate. When the inclined surface contacts the fixed tube, the movable tube applies a force to the fixed tube, causing the fixed tube to deform. The force of the movable tube is transmitted to the elastic tube, causing the elastic tube to deform. Both the fixed tube and the elastic tube deform toward the axis of the fixed hole, so that both the fixed tube and the elastic tube can clamp the wires. The deformed elastic tube also blocks the wiring hole, preventing outside air and foreign matter from entering the box body, thereby improving the sealing performance of the junction box and enhancing the safety of the junction box.

[0028] 2. Pass the wires through the pressure plate and the operating block, and use the fasteners to move the pressure plate toward the operating block to clamp the wires so that they are not easily moved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
