[0036] In order to make the object, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the embodiment provides a control box 100 for connecting a cable (not shown) and an electric appliance 102. The control box 100 comprises a shell 103, an electric appliance 102 accommodated in the shell 103, a cable connected with the electric appliance 102, and a waterproof device 101 for sealing the cable and the shell 103. Wherein, the cable passes through the shell 103 to realize the transmission of at least one of energy and signal between the electric appliance 102 and the outside world, and the waterproof device 101 is arranged between the cable and the shell 103 to realize the waterproof between the cable and the shell 103.

[0038] In the embodiment, the electric appliance 102 comprises a fire-fighting electric appliance.

[0039] The control box 100 further comprises a fixing device 8 for fixing the control box 100 on a mounting surface. Specifically, the fixing device 8 is an "L" type bending structure, one end surface of the fixing device 8 is connected with the mounting surface, and the other end surface is connected with the shell 103 of the control box 100, so as to mount the control box 100 on the mounting surface.

[0040] Preferably, the control box 100 comprises two fixing devices 8, and the two fixing devices 8 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the control box 100, so as to increase the fixing strength of the control box 100.

[0041] In the embodiment, the connection structure between the control box 100 and the electrical appliance 102 and the connection structure between the electrical appliance 102 and the cable can be set according to the prior art, and the improvement of the present application is the waterproof device 101. The following description mainly describes the waterproof device 101.

[0042] Please refer to Figures 4 to 9 The waterproof device 101 has a fixing member 1, a positioning member 2, and a sealing member 3. The sealing member 3 is located between the fixing member 1 and the positioning member 2, and is fixed by the mutual extrusion of the fixing member 1 and the positioning member 2.

[0043] The fixing member 1 has a first through hole 12, the positioning member 2 has a second through hole 22, and the sealing member 3 includes a sealing base 36. The sealing base 36 has an adaptive structure 33 protruding from the sealing base 36 towards the inside of the control box 100. The adaptive structure 33 protrudes out of the first through hole 12, so that at least part of the adaptive structure 33 is accommodated in the first through hole 12. In addition, the adaptive structure 33 has a third through hole 32 corresponding to the second through hole 22. Thus, the cable can pass through the first through hole 12, the second through hole 22, and the third through hole 32 of the waterproof device 101, and be partially accommodated in the adaptive structure 33, so as to seal the gap between the cable and the control box 100 by the adaptive structure 33.

[0044] Since the sealing member 3 fixed between the fixing member 1 and the positioning member 2 has the sealing base 36 in the waterproof device 101, and the fixing member 1 and the positioning member 2 are extruded, the sealing member 3 is attached to the fixing member 1 and the positioning member 2 respectively, and is extruded and fixed between the fixing member 1 and the positioning member 2, thereby achieving the sealing and fixing between the fixing member 1 and the positioning member 2. At the same time, since the adaptive structure 33 protruding out of the first through hole 12 is provided on the sealing base 36, and the third through hole 32 corresponding to the second through hole 22 is provided on the adaptive structure 33, the cable can directly pass through the first through hole 12 on the fixing member 1, the second through hole 22 on the positioning member 2, and the third through hole 32 on the adaptive structure 33, and be partially accommodated in the adaptive structure 33, thereby achieving the sealing and waterproof between the cable and the waterproof device 101. Thus, by applying the waterproof device 101 on the control box 100, the sealing connection between the cable and the shell 103 of the control box 100 can be achieved by the waterproof device 101.

[0045] Preferably, the material of the sealing member 3 and the material of the adaptive structure 33 are both elastic materials, such as rubber materials.

[0046] The sealing base 36 comprises a sealing base disc 361 with a protruding sealing fitting portion 362, the adapter structure 33 protrudes from the surface of the sealing fitting portion 362, and the fixing member 1 is a box-shaped structure opening towards the sealing member 3, which covers the sealing fitting portion 362. Therefore, when the fixing member 1 and the positioning member 2 are pressed against each other, the sealing base disc 361, the protruding sealing fitting portion 362, and the fixing member 1 covering the sealing fitting portion 362 effectively increase the fitting area of the fixing member 1 and the sealing member 3, and the fitting area of the positioning member 2 and the sealing member 3, thereby further enhancing the sealing between the fixing member 1 and the sealing member 3, and the sealing between the positioning member 2 and the sealing member 3.

[0047] The adapter structure 33 comprises a plurality of sealing rings 331, which enclose the third through hole 32, and the plurality of sealing rings 331 are arranged in the protruding direction of the adapter structure 33, and the inner diameters of the plurality of sealing rings 331 gradually decrease in the direction away from the second through hole 22. Therefore, the adapter structure 33 can be adapted to cables with different diameters.

[0048] In this embodiment, the inner diameter of each sealing ring 331 is unique and unchangeable, that is, the plurality of sealing rings 331 have a plurality of inner diameters of different sizes, thereby increasing the controllability of the inner diameter of the adapter structure 33 when adapting to cables with different diameters, and better improving the sealing reliability.

[0049] In some other embodiments, the inner diameters of the sealing rings 331 can also be variable, for example, the inner diameters of the sealing rings continuously decrease in the direction away from the second through hole 22, thereby further increasing the diameters of the cables that can be adapted to the adapter structure 33.

[0050] In this embodiment, in the protruding direction of the adapter structure 33, the adapter structure 33 comprises three sealing rings 331 arranged in series. The three sealing rings 331 each have a unique inner diameter, and the three sealing rings 331 are sequentially connected in the direction away from the second through hole 22 according to the sizes of the respective inner diameters from large to small, thereby the inner diameter of the adapter structure 33 gradually decreases in the direction away from the second through hole 22, and the adapter structure 33 is adapted to cables with different diameters.

[0051] Specifically, when the diameter of the cable is the same as the inner diameter of the smallest sealing ring 331, the cable can directly pass through the adapter structure 33 to realize the sealing of the cable and the adapter structure 33; when the diameter of the cable is greater than the inner diameter of the smallest sealing ring 331, an external tool can be used to trim the sealing ring 331 with an inner diameter smaller than the diameter of the cable, so that the cable is in sealing connection with the adapter structure 33 on the basis of passing through the adapter structure 33, and the waterproof between the cable and the waterproof device 101 is realized.

[0052] In other embodiments, the adapting structure 33 can also be composed of other number of sealing rings 331, for example, the adapting structure 33 can include one sealing ring 331, or include five sealing rings 331, etc., so that the adapting structure 33 can reduce the cost and manufacturing difficulty according to the actual needs, or adapt to more different diameter cables.

[0053] Preferably, the sealing ring 331 with the smallest inner diameter in the adapting structure 33 is a blind hole, that is, the inside of the sealing ring 331 with the smallest diameter is sealed. When needed, the sealing ring 331 is pierced by an external tool and then used, thereby further enhancing the sealing reliability between the adapting structure 33 and the cable.

[0054] Preferably, the number of the adapting structure 33 is more than two, and correspondingly, the number of the first perforation 12 and the second perforation 22 is also more than two, realizing the mutual correspondence among the adapting structure 33, the first perforation 12 and the second perforation 22, so that the control box 100 can be connected to multiple cables with different diameters, improving the practicability of the waterproof device 101.

[0055] In the present embodiment, the first perforation 12, the second perforation 22 and the adapting structure 33 are all provided with eight, and are arranged in two rows, so that the control box 100 can be connected to multiple cables with different diameters, improving the practicability of the waterproof device 101.

[0056] Of course, in other embodiments, the first perforation 12, the second perforation 22 and the adapting structure 33 can also be other numbers, and the arrangement mode can also be other shapes, which are not limited here.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the waterproof device 101 further includes a sealing plug 4, which is installed on the positioning member 2 and extends towards the fixed member 1, so that at least part of the sealing plug 4 is accommodated in the adapting structure 33 and matches the inner diameter of the adapting structure 33, thereby strengthening the closure of the adapting structure 33.

[0058] Specifically, the sealing plug 4 has a first groove 41 on the outer side wall, and the sealing plug 4 is clamped in the second perforation 22 through the first groove 41 to close the second perforation 22. Preferably, the material of the sealing plug 4 is an elastic material such as rubber, and the first groove 41 matches the second perforation 22, so that the sealing plug 4 can be in interference fit with the positioning member 2 to realize the sealed connection of the sealing plug 4 and the positioning member 2.

[0059] Specifically, the outer side wall of the sealing plug 4 further has a second groove 43, and the corresponding adapter structure 33 further has a clamping portion (not labeled in the figure) extending inward from the inner side wall of the sealing ring 331. The second groove 43 is located beside the first groove 41 and close to the fixing member 1. When the sealing plug 4 extends into the sealing ring 331 after passing through the second through hole 22, the clamping portion is clamped into the second groove 43 to close the third through hole 32, thereby preventing water vapor and dust from entering the control box 100.

[0060] Specifically, the sealing plug 4 includes a threading hole 42, which extends through the sealing plug 4 in the direction in which the adapter structure 33 protrudes. The diameter of the threading hole 42 is smaller than the diameter of the second through hole 22. The cable passes through and is partially accommodated in the threading hole 42, so that the cable can pass through the threading hole 42 to enter the control box 10.

[0061] Preferably, the sealing plug 4 is provided with a plurality of threading holes 42.

[0062] Preferably, the cable is a single-core wire, and the threading hole 42 is a blind hole. When the single-core wire passes through the blind hole, the blind hole is pierced. Such an arrangement enables the waterproof device 101 to adapt to single-core wires, thereby improving the practicability of the waterproof device 101. At the same time, the threading hole 42 is arranged as a blind hole, thereby achieving the sealing effect of the waterproof device 101 when no wire is threaded, and preventing dust, moisture, and the like from entering the control box 100.

[0063] Preferably, the sealing plug 4 is provided with eight, so as to be adapted to the eight second through holes 22, respectively. At the same time, the eight sealing plugs 4 are independent of each other, so that the waterproof device 101 can configure the sealing plugs 4 according to the number and size of the cable, thereby improving the practicability of the waterproof device 101.

[0064] Of course, in other embodiments, the sealing plug 4 can be provided with other numbers according to actual conditions, and a plurality of sealing plugs 4 can also be connected to each other. In the case of not needing to be used, the sealing plug 4 that is not used is cut by using an external tool, which is not limited here.

[0065] In the present embodiment, the cable further includes a multi-core wire, wherein the multi-core wire has a plurality of types with different diameters. The waterproof device 101 can be adapted to both single-core wires and multi-core wires. Specifically, in the embodiment in which there are both single-core wires and multi-core wires with different sizes, the sealing plug 4 is arranged according to the number of single-core wires, so that the single-core wires are connected to the waterproof device 101 in a sealed manner through the mutual cooperation of the sealing plug 4 and the adapter structure 33. At the same time, the plurality of adapter structures 33 are cut by using an external tool to expose the third through holes 32 that are adapted to the multi-core wires, so that the multi-core wires with different sizes can be connected to the waterproof device 101 in a sealed manner through the adapter structure 33.

[0066] The waterproof device 101 further comprises a plurality of locking pieces 5, the fixing piece 1 further has a plurality of fixing holes 11, the positioning piece 2 further has a plurality of fixing columns 21, the sealing base 36 further has a plurality of locking holes 31, the plurality of fixing holes 11, the plurality of fixing columns 21 and the plurality of locking holes 31 correspond to each other, each locking piece 5 passes through the corresponding fixing hole 11, locking hole 31 and locking connection with the corresponding fixing column 21 in turn, so that the fixing piece 1 and the positioning piece 2 extrude each other, the sealing base 36 is deformed under stress, so as to realize the sealing between the fixing piece 1 and the positioning piece 2.

[0067] The edge of at least one side of the fixing piece 1 has 3 fixing holes 11 distributed non-uniformly along the length direction of the fixing piece 1.

[0068] Preferably, the edges of both sides of the fixing piece 1 have 3 fixing holes 11 distributed non-uniformly along the length direction of the fixing piece 1. That is, in the length direction of the fixing piece 1, the fixing hole 11, the fixing column 21 and the locking hole 31 are provided with three pairs. For the convenience of understanding and description, taking the fixing hole 11 as an example, the three pairs of fixing holes 11 are defined as the first pair of fixing holes 11, the second pair of fixing holes 11 and the third pair of fixing holes 11 from left to right in turn. Among them, the distance between the first pair of fixing holes 11 and the second pair of fixing holes 11 is different from the distance between the second pair of fixing holes 11 and the third pair of fixing holes 11. Thus, the installation mode between the fixing piece 1, the sealing piece 3 and the positioning piece 2 is unique, and when the placement direction of any one component is wrong, the waterproof device 101 cannot be assembled, so as to realize the foolproof assembly of the waterproof device 101.

[0069] In other embodiments, the number of fixing holes 11, fixing columns 21 and locking holes 31 can also be provided with two pairs, four pairs, five pairs or other numbers, as long as the waterproof device 101 can be assembled, which is not limited here.

[0070] In this embodiment, the waterproof device 101 further comprises a plurality of reserved holes to adapt to more cables and other devices.

[0071] In the embodiment, the first spare hole 13 and the second spare hole 23 are provided in two types of circular and square shapes, and the first spare hole 13 and the second spare hole 23 are respectively arranged through the fixing member 1 and the positioning member 2, and the shape of the reserve hole 34 is also provided in two types of circular and square shapes, but the reserve hole 34 is a blind hole. In this way, in the embodiment in which the reserve hole 34 is not needed, the sealing and waterproof of the waterproof device 101 can be realized. When the reserve hole 34 is needed, the corresponding reserve hole 34 is pierced by an external tool to realize the expansion of the cable. Of course, in other embodiments, the number and shape of the first spare hole 13, the second spare hole 23 and the reserve hole 34 can be set according to the actual situation, which is not limited here.

When the waterproof device 101 is connected with the housing 103, the protrusion 7 is inserted into the notch 35 and is blocked and pressed by the fixing member 1 to limit the waterproof device 101 and realize the positioning installation of the waterproof device 101.

[0073] Preferably, the protrusion 7 and the notch 35 are each provided with only one, which is set to realize the foolproof installation between the waterproof device 101 and the housing 103, and to avoid the mistake of the operator during installation.

[0074] Of course, in other embodiments, the number of the protrusion 7 and the notch 35 can also be provided with multiple, and the multiple protrusions 7 and the notches 35 are asymmetric to realize the foolproof installation of the waterproof device 101 and the housing 103, which is not limited here.

[0075] The sealing base 36 is provided in a square shape, the shapes of the fixing member 1 and the positioning member 2 are the same as that of the sealing base 36, the fixing member 1 and the positioning member 2 are pressed against each other, so that the sealing base 36 is deformed to realize the sealing between the waterproof device 101 and the housing 103. Specifically, when the sealing base 36 is accommodated in the through hole 6, the side of the sealing bottom plate 361 abuts against the edge of the through hole 6 to realize the positioning of the sealing base 36 and the through hole 6. When the waterproof device 101 is installed with the housing 103, the sealing base 36 is accommodated in the through hole 6 in an interference manner, the fixing member 1 and the positioning member 2 are arranged on both sides of the through hole 6, and the fixing member 1 is located inside the control box 100, and the positioning member 2 is located outside the control box 100, at least one of the fixing member 1 and the positioning member 2 presses the sealing member 3, so that the sealing base 36 is deformed and tightly attached to the fixing member 1 and the positioning member 2.
