[0037] This invention provides a protective box for marine outdoor power outlets, whose main function is to protect power outlets used on ships, improving reliable protection in the high-temperature, high-humidity, and high-salt-spray marine environment. In addition, due to the influence of sea winds and other factors during ship navigation...

[0038] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the front structure of a marine outdoor socket protection box according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 This is a top view of the protective box for an outdoor socket on a ship, according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the present invention also provides a protective box for marine outdoor sockets, the protective box for marine outdoor sockets includes a box body 1 and a top cover 2, as well as a pipe opening 3 and a pipe opening cover 4;

[0039] The bottom of the internal space 11 of the housing 1 is provided with a mounting base 12, and a socket is installed on the mounting base 12 so that the socket interface faces a predetermined direction. The first side of the housing 1 has an opening 13.

[0040] The top cover 2 is located at the opening 13 and can be opened and closed or the opening 13 can be opened;

[0041] One end of the pipe 3 is connected to the second side of the housing 1 and communicates with the internal space 11, and the pipe 3 faces the direction of the insertion interface;

[0042] The pipe cap 4 is used to seal or open the pipe opening 3.

[0043] This embodiment provides a specific structure for a protective box for an outdoor ship socket. The box 1 is a container designed to hold the socket. Shipboard power supply equipment generally has high power, so its sockets have special structural features. To properly protect the socket, this embodiment provides comprehensive protective measures; for example, the box 1 can be made of 316L stainless steel plate as the main material. The top cover 2 is used to open and place the socket, and to mount the socket on the mounting base 12. The nozzle 3 provides a connector facing the socket; this connector is where the device is plugged in. Furthermore, the connector is very close to the nozzle 3 to facilitate plugging a power plug from outside the box 1 into the socket.

[0044] The core of this embodiment lies in the positional relationship between the wiring port and the pipe opening. Since the protective cover is used in the marine field, and ships often experience weather conditions such as sea breezes, the sea breeze can carry salty seawater into the protective cover due to the influence of wind direction. How to deal with this sea breeze intrusion becomes a key technical aspect of this embodiment. In this embodiment, the pipe opening 3 is the entrance for inserting the socket wire, and the axis of the channel is set as the first direction. Therefore, the orientation of the plug opening should not be the same as the first direction. The plug opening only needs to face the pipe opening 3 without obstructing the wiring.

[0045] In summary, this embodiment can protect the socket and prevent sea wind from damaging the socket by differentiating the socket's interface from the pipe opening 3. This helps to solve the technical problem of the lack of socket protection boxes for ship applications in the prior art.

[0046] In one embodiment, the mounting base 12 and the bottom of the internal space 11 of the housing 1 form an angle α.

[0047] This embodiment provides a specific implementation in which the mounting end face of the mounting base 12 forms an angle α with the bottom surface. Because the nozzle 3 is not perfectly aligned with the insertion interface facing the socket, an angle α is required; preferably, the angle α is 8 degrees.

[0048] In addition, the mounting base 12 can also have a certain angle change capability. When the sea breeze enters, since the connection port is a flared opening, it will face the sea breeze. If a universal hinge is installed on the mounting base, and the socket is installed on the universal hinge and a reasonable friction is provided, the socket can be rotated when the sea breeze enters and blows onto the connection port, so that the connection port is no longer facing the wind.

[0049] In one embodiment, the pipe cap 4 and the top cover 2 are respectively fastened to the box body 1 and the pipe opening 3 by the box door latch 5.

[0050] This embodiment provides a specific implementation method in which the top cover 2 and the pipe opening cover 4 can be fastened together by the door latch 5. The door latch 5 provides a pre-tightening force after fastening. Since the protective box does not bear external force, the door latch 5 can close the top cover 2 on the box body 1 and the pipe opening cover 4 on the pipe opening 3 in a static state.

[0051] In one embodiment, the top cover 2 is connected to the opening 12 by a hinge 6.

[0052] In this embodiment, a hinge 6 is used to connect the top cover 2 to the opening 13 to achieve closing or opening.

[0053] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the sealing rubber ring structure of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, a sealing rubber ring 21 is provided at the joint end face of the upper cover 2 and the box body 1.

[0054] This embodiment provides a specific connection structure between the upper cover 2 and the housing 1, which is a specific implementation method for setting the sealing rubber ring 21. The upper end surface of the upper cover 2 is provided with an L-shaped edge along the edge of the opening 12, with the vertical edge pointing upwards. The sealing rubber ring 21 is provided around the upper cover 2, and the lower end surface of the upper cover 2 is provided with a mounting groove for the sealing rubber ring 21. The sealing rubber ring 21 is embedded in the mounting groove. When the upper cover 2 is fastened to the upper end surface of the opening 12 of the housing 1, the vertical edge of the L-shaped edge is exactly abutting the sealing rubber ring 21.

[0055] In one embodiment, the first side is the top of the box 1, and the second side is the side of the box 1.

[0056] This embodiment provides a specific implementation of the arrangement of the opening 12 and the pipe opening 2 on the housing 1. This embodiment also provides a specific positional relationship between the opening 12 and the pipe opening 3 on the housing 1. The opening 12 is located at the top for better installation of the socket body, because the diameter of the pipe opening 3 is relatively small. The socket is installed through the opening 12 at the top.

[0057] In one embodiment, the bottom of the housing 1 is provided with a connecting foot 14, which is used to fix it to the base by a grounding stud.

[0058] This embodiment provides a specific implementation where the housing 1 is provided with connecting feet 14. The connecting feet 14 are used for installation at a predetermined location on the ship, such as the deck or a predetermined mounting plate. The connecting feet 14 are provided with bolt through holes, and the protective housing is installed onto the deck or the predetermined mounting plate by means of anchor bolts or other structures.

[0059] In one embodiment, a perforated mounting plate 15 is provided on the bottom surface of the housing 1.

[0060] This embodiment provides a specific implementation of a perforated mounting plate 15 on a housing 1. The perforated mounting plate 15 has elongated holes arranged in a matrix. These holes allow moisture from sea breezes to condense and quickly fall below the mounting plate 15, preventing further damage to the socket. Additionally, the perforated mounting plate 15 can also be used to mount the connecting feet 14 using fastening components such as screws and nuts.

[0061] In one embodiment, a cable loading hole 16 is provided on the side.

[0062] This embodiment provides a specific implementation with a cable loading hole 16. The cable loading hole 16 is a structure for power input to the socket. The cable extends into the housing 1 through the cable loading hole 16 and connects to the socket, allowing the socket to be plugged into devices requiring power through the opening 13.

[0063] In one embodiment, the mounting base 12 is connected to the bottom of the internal space 11 via a threaded mounting post 18.

[0064] This embodiment provides a specific connection method between the mounting base 12 and the internal space 11. The threaded mounting post 18 here is a cylindrical structure with internal threads. One end of the cylindrical structure is connected to the bottom of the cavity of the protective cover, and the other end of the cylindrical structure can be connected by bolts.
