Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of terminal box technology, specifically to a rotatable box for a converged terminal that is easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] A converged terminal refers to a new type of user terminal derived from the convergence at the terminal side in Fixed-Mobile Convergence (FMC) systems, used to cover a specific area. As an edge device in the "cloud-edge-device" architecture of the smart IoT system, the intelligent converged terminal is often installed in a JP cabinet and connects to various devices within the cabinet. Early converged terminals were directly installed inside the JP cabinet, resulting in exposed terminal wiring points and damaged terminals and wires. Therefore, box-type installation is now more common, where the converged terminal is installed inside a box with cables passing through it. This keeps the terminal wiring points inside the box, preventing direct exposure and extending the lifespan. However, it still has the following drawbacks:

[0003] Currently, converged terminal installation enclosures use cable routing holes for wiring. Because the enclosures cannot be repositioned, the distance between the cable routing holes and the wiring equipment is often considerable, increasing cable length and sometimes requiring extension of the connection cable, making wiring cumbersome. Furthermore, during maintenance of equipment inside the JP cabinet, it's easy to come into contact with the wiring cables. Since the cable routing holes lack a fixed structure, the cables are directly pulled at the connection point to the converged terminal, causing them to detach or loosen, leading to line faults. Moreover, wiring inside the enclosure results in a large number of cables inside, creating a messy and tangled mess, which is extremely inconvenient for later maintenance and repair of the converged terminal.

[0004] To address these issues, we propose a rotatable enclosure for a fusion terminal that is easy to install. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rotatable housing for a converged terminal that is easy to install, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0011] Optionally, an arc-shaped support plate is fixedly connected to the inner panel of the JP cabinet below the mounting plate, and the arc-shaped support plate contacts the bottom surface of the mounting plate.

[0012] Optionally, the clamping assembly includes an annular groove on the front side of the mounting plate and a fixing block fixed to the center of the bottom surface of the housing. A sliding column is fixed to the side of the fixing block near the annular groove, and the sliding column is slidably embedded in the annular groove. A third threaded through hole is formed on the sliding column and the fixing block. A clamping bolt is threadedly connected to the third threaded through hole. A deformable rubber head is fixed to the end of the clamping bolt near the annular groove. Multiple locking tooth grooves are evenly formed on the surface of the annular groove, and the deformable rubber head contacts the locking tooth grooves.

The enclosure is rotatable, allowing adjustment of the orientation of the wiring assembly, which can be positioned as close as possible to the wiring equipment, reducing cable length and making wiring more convenient. The wiring assembly secures the connecting cables, ensuring that when external cables are subjected to force, the force is applied to the cable and the wiring assembly, preventing direct pulling force at the connection point between the cable and the fusion terminal, thus avoiding cable detachment or loosening. Furthermore, the cable fixing assembly allows for neat arrangement of multiple connecting cables within the enclosure, preventing tangled cables and facilitating subsequent maintenance.

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3-6This invention provides a technical solution: a rotatable enclosure for an easy-to-install converged terminal, comprising a JP cabinet inner panel 1, a converged terminal 4, and an installation plate 2. The installation plate 2 is rotatably connected to a rotating plate 25 at the center of the side away from the JP cabinet inner panel 1 (a circular groove is provided in the center of the front side of the installation plate 2, and the rotating plate 25 is rotatably embedded in the circular groove). The enclosure 3 is fixedly connected to the rotating plate 25. The converged terminal 4 is sleeved in the terminal installation housing 5, which is fixedly connected to the lower part of the enclosure 3. Multiple connecting cables 41 are inserted into the converged terminal 4. Two cable fixing components 7 are fixedly connected above the converged terminal 4 inside the enclosure 3. A wire threading component 6 is fixedly embedded on the top surface of the enclosure 3. The enclosure 3 is rotatably connected to the installation plate 2, and the orientation of the wire threading component 6 on the enclosure 3 can be adjusted so that the wire threading component 6 can be as close as possible to the wiring equipment, reducing the cable length and making wiring more convenient.

[0031] The cable threading assembly 6 includes a top block 61 fixedly embedded in the top surface of the housing 3. A cable threading opening 62 is vertically opened on the top block 61. A fixed rubber plate 63 is fixedly connected to one side of the cable threading opening 62. A sliding plate 64 is slidably connected inside the cable threading opening 62. A movable rubber plate 65 is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding plate 64 near the fixed rubber plate 63. Multiple connecting cables 41 are located between the movable rubber plate 65 and the fixed rubber plate 63. The movable rubber plate 65 and the fixed rubber plate 63 contact the surface of the connecting cables 41. The cable threading assembly 6 is used to insert the connecting cables 41 into the housing 3. Then, the connecting cables 41 are clamped and fixed by the movable rubber plate 65 and the fixed rubber plate 63 to avoid pulling force on the connection between the connecting cables 41 and the fusion terminal 4 when the connecting cables 41 are touched during the operation of other equipment, and to prevent the connecting cables 41 from falling off.

[0032] The cable fixing assembly 7 includes a fixing plate 71 fixed to the side wall of the housing 3. One end of the fixing plate 71 is rotatably connected to a rotating plate 72. Multiple first semicircular wire grooves 76 are vertically opened on the side of the fixing plate 71 near the rotating plate 72. Multiple second semicircular wire grooves 77 are opened on the rotating plate 72 corresponding to the positions of the multiple first semicircular wire grooves 76. The inner sides of the first semicircular wire grooves 76 and the second semicircular wire grooves 77 are made of soft rubber. The connecting cable 41 fits perfectly in the first semicircular wire grooves 76 and the second semicircular wire grooves 77. The cable fixing assembly 7 is used for the arrangement of connecting cables 41 in the housing 3 to avoid the connecting cables 41 from getting tangled together.

[0033] Example 2:

[0034] Please see Figure 2-8This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Based on the previous embodiment, three mounting lugs 21 are fixed to the top surface and the lower two sides of the mounting plate 2. Two first through holes 23 are horizontally opened on the two mounting lugs 21 located at the bottom. Two first threaded holes 14 are opened on the side wall of the JP cabinet inner plate 1 corresponding to the positions of the two first through holes 23. The first threaded holes 14 are threaded to the mounting bolts 24, and the mounting bolts 24 are inserted into the first through holes 23. An arc-shaped support plate 11 is fixed to the side wall of the JP cabinet inner plate 1 located below the mounting plate 2. The arc-shaped support plate 11 contacts the bottom surface of the mounting plate 2.

[0035] A positioning hole 22 is provided on the upper mounting lug 21. The positioning hole 22 is elongated and has an arc shape at both the top and bottom (a waist-shaped hole in the vertical direction). A positioning post 12 is fixed to the side wall of the inner panel 1 of the JP cabinet. The positioning post 12 passes through the upper part of the positioning hole 22 and is fixed to a threaded post 13. An insert block 26 is inserted between the positioning hole 22 and the positioning post 12. The end of the insert block 26 is fixed to the outer panel 27. A second through hole 28 is opened horizontally on the outer panel 27. The threaded post 13 passes through the second through hole 28 and is threaded to a locking nut 29. When installing the mounting plate 2, first, the positioning hole 22 in the mounting lug 21 on the top surface of the mounting plate 2 is fitted onto the positioning post 12. The mounting plate 2 is then lifted upward and moved inward. At this time, the bottom surface of the mounting plate 2 is placed on the arc-shaped support plate 11. Then, it is fixed with the mounting bolt 24. Finally, the insert block 26 is inserted into the positioning hole 22 and fixed with the locking nut 29 to complete the installation.

[0036] The mounting plate 2 and the housing 3 are provided with a clamping assembly 8. The clamping assembly 8 includes an annular slide groove 81 opened on the side wall of the mounting plate 2 and a fixing block 82 fixed to the center of the bottom surface of the housing 3. The fixing block 82 is fixed to a sliding column 83 on the side near the annular slide groove 81. The sliding column 83 is slidably connected in the annular slide groove 81.

[0037] A third threaded through hole 84 is horizontally opened on the sliding column 83 and the fixing block 82. The third threaded through hole 84 is threaded to connect the clamping bolt 85. The clamping bolt 85 is fixed to the end near the annular sliding groove 81 with a deformable rubber head 86. Multiple locking grooves 87 are evenly opened on the surface of the annular sliding groove 81. The deformable rubber head 86 contacts the locking groove 87. The clamping assembly 8 is used for fixing after the rotation position of the housing 3 is adjusted. By tightening the clamping bolt 85, the deformable rubber head 86 is made to contact the locking groove 87 tightly, and the position of the housing 3 is fixed by high friction.

[0038] Two second threaded through holes 66 are provided on the side wall of the top block 61. The second threaded through holes 66 are connected to the wire passage 62. The second threaded through holes 66 are threaded to the adjusting bolt 67. The end of the adjusting bolt 67 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the slide plate 64. The position of the slide plate 64 can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting bolt 67, so as to clamp the connecting cable 41.

[0039] The free end of the rotating plate 72 is rotatably connected to the hook 73. A torsion spring is provided at the rotatable connection between the hook 73 and the rotating plate 72. The fixing plate 71 is fixedly connected to the clip 75 near the hook 73. The hook 73 engages with the clip 75. A wrench 74 is fixedly connected to one side of the hook 73. After turning the wrench 74, the hook 73 can be moved away from the clip 75, making it easy to open the rotating plate 72 and facilitate cable routing.

[0040] Example 3:

[0041] Please see Figure 3-4 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. Based on the above two embodiments, two fixed side plates 52 are fixedly connected to both sides of the terminal mounting shell 5. A strip-shaped opening 53 is horizontally opened on the fixed side plate 52. A pin 31 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the box body 3 at the position corresponding to the strip-shaped opening 53. The pin 31 passes through the strip-shaped opening 53 and rotates to connect to the clamping plate 32. The clamping plate 32 contacts the surface of the fixed side plate 52.

[0042] A first threaded through hole 54 is horizontally opened on the fixed side plate 52. A second threaded hole 33 is opened on the side wall of the housing 3 corresponding to the first threaded through hole 54. The second threaded hole 33 and the first threaded through hole 54 are threaded together to connect the fixing bolt 55. A wiring port 51 is opened on the terminal mounting sleeve 5. The wiring port 51 is used to connect the connecting cable 41 to the fusion terminal 4. A sealing door 34 is rotatably connected to one side of the housing 3. The terminal mounting sleeve 5 is fixed inside the housing 3 by the clamping plate 32 and the fixing bolt 55, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the fusion terminal 4.

[0043] Example 4:

[0044] During installation, the positioning hole 22 in the mounting lug 21 on the top surface of the mounting plate 2 is first fitted onto the positioning post 12. The mounting plate 2 is then lifted upwards and moved inwards, at which point the bottom surface of the mounting plate 2 is placed on the arc-shaped support plate 11. It is then fixed with the mounting bolt 24. The insert block 26 is then inserted into the positioning hole 22 and fixed with the locking nut 29 to complete the installation. During wiring, the housing 3 is first rotated so that the wiring assembly 6 on the housing 3 is as close as possible to the device to be wired. The position of the housing 3 is then fixed by the clamping assembly 8. The connecting cable 41 is then passed through the wiring port 62 in the wiring assembly 6 into the housing 3 and connected to the fusion terminal 4. The adjusting bolt 67 in the wiring assembly 6 is then tightened so that the movable rubber plate 65 and the fixed rubber plate 63 tightly clamp the connecting cable 41. The rotating plate 72 on the cable fixing assembly 7 is then opened, and multiple connecting cables 41 are sequentially inserted into the first semi-circular wire groove 76. The rotating plate 72 is then covered and fixed with the hook 73 to complete the wiring. This invention is simple to install and easy to maintain. The housing 3 can rotate, allowing adjustment of the orientation of the wiring assembly 6, which allows it to be positioned as close as possible to the wiring equipment, reducing cable length and making wiring more convenient. Furthermore, the wiring assembly 6 secures the connecting cable 41. When the connecting cable 41 is subjected to force outside the housing 3, the force is applied to the connecting cable 41 and the wiring assembly 6, preventing direct pulling force on the connection between the connecting cable 41 and the fusion terminal 4, thus avoiding the connecting cable 41 from falling off or becoming loose. Additionally, the cable fixing assembly 7 arranges the multiple connecting cables 41 inside the housing 3, making the cables more organized and preventing tangled cables inside the housing 3, which also facilitates subsequent maintenance.
