DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] like Figure 1-16The closed cable trough box shown in the figure comprises a trough box body 1 and a box cover 11 detachably arranged on the trough box body 1, a card slot 2 is opened at one end of the two side panels of the trough box body 1, and a first cavity 21 is opened at the other end, and a card lock assembly adapted to the card slot 2 is arranged inside the first cavity 21; the card lock assembly comprises a locking arm 22 rotatably arranged in the first cavity 21 and a self-locking unit arranged on the trough box body 1, the locking arm 22 comprises a movable rod 23 for buckling with the card slot 2 and a fixed rod 2 having one end rotatably arranged on the inner wall of the first cavity 21 and the other end movably sleeved with the movable rod 23 4; The self-locking unit is used to relatively lock the movable rod 23 and the fixed rod 24. The splicing of the slot box structure does not utilize the conventional fixing method of the connecting plate and the side plate by connecting bolts. It is mainly through the locking assembly on one side of one group of slot box bodies 1 and the locking slot 2 of another group of slot box bodies 1 that the two groups of slot box bodies 1 are preliminarily connected. Then, the movable rod 23 and the fixed rod 24 in the locking assembly are relatively locked by the self-locking unit, so that the two groups of slot box bodies 1 can maintain high stability. This assembly method is simple and convenient, and can greatly improve the overall assembly efficiency.

[0036] The cam 32 is a block 32 which is adapted to engage with the cam 32 and is adapted to engage with the cam 32 when the cam 32 engages with the cam 32. The first limit slider 43 is movable; a first spring 44 is provided between the first limit slider 43 and the side wall of the first limit slide groove 42. When the locking assembly is engaged with the slot 2, it rotates the locking arm 22 on one group of slot box main bodies 1 to initially overlap the upper edge of the slot 2 on the other group of slot box main bodies 1, and then stretches the movable rod 23 to make it extend a certain length from the fixed rod 24. At this time, the first spring 44 will be compressed and deformed, and then the buckle rod 33 at its front end is stuck in the arc slot 31 and slides, and finally enters the inner buckle slot 32, and then under the elastic action of the first spring 44, it drives the movable rod 23 to be locked back into the fixed rod 24, so that the buckle rod 33 and the inner buckle slot 32 are locked. In this state, the two groups of slot box main bodies 1 are longitudinally locked, that is, the two will not move relative to each other in an upward and downward manner.

[0037] In one embodiment, a first limiting sliding cavity 5 communicating with the first cavity 21 is provided at the lower side thereof, and a latch groove 51 communicating with the first limiting sliding cavity 5 is provided at one side thereof close to the outside of the slot box body 1, and the self-locking unit comprises a lock pin box 52 that slides within the first limiting sliding cavity 5, a limiting clamping plate 54 that moves within the second limiting sliding cavity 53 provided in the lock pin box 52, and a second spring 55 that is arranged between the limiting clamping plate 54 and the inner wall of the second limiting sliding cavity 53; the limiting clamping plate 54 is provided with two groups of pin lock plates 56 that slide against the two side walls of the latch groove 51 respectively; the inner slide rod 41 is provided with a A fixing block 57 is arranged, and a docking interface 58 that is engaged with the end of the lock pin box 52 is formed between the fixing block 57 and the first limiting slide block 43. A third spring 6 is also arranged on the docking interface 58. A push block 61 is arranged at one end of the third spring 6 away from the docking interface 58. A wedge-shaped surface 62 is arranged at the lower end of the push block 61 away from the third spring 6. A second limiting slide groove 63 is opened on the side wall of the first limiting slide groove 42. Second limiting slide blocks 64 that are engaged and slide in the second limiting slide groove 63 are arranged on both sides of the push block 61. When the buckle rod 33 slides in the arc-shaped slide groove 31, the docking interface 58 on the side of the inner slide rod 41 When the lock pin box 52 is in the state of being locked, the locking nut 52 is automatically locked and the locking nut 52 is automatically locked. The pin locking plate 56 is directly opposite to the latch groove 51, and then the limiting latch plate 54 extends out from the second limiting sliding cavity 53 under the action of the second spring 55, so that the two groups of pin locking plates 56 are stuck on both sides of the latch groove 51, so that the movable rod 23 and the fixed rod 24 are relatively locked, that is, the movable rod 23 will not extend out from the fixed rod 24 in this state, and at this time, the two ends of the locking arm 22 are equivalent to being fixed at the docking position of the two groups of slot box bodies 1, and then the slot box bodies 1 are horizontally locked, that is, the two will not move horizontally relative to each other, so that a stable splicing is achieved between the two groups of slot box bodies 1.

[0038] In one embodiment, the four corners of the bottom surface of the box cover 11 are provided with plug plates 7 which are movably plugged into the first cavity 21 and the second cavity 3 respectively and abut against the side of the locking arm 22. The plug plates 7, the side plates of the box cover 11 and the side plates of the slot box body 1 are provided with threaded holes 71 of the same specifications. When the slot box body 1 is spliced, the plug plates 7 on the box cover 11 are inserted into the first cavity 21 and the second cavity 3, so that the box cover 11 is covered on the box cover 11. At this time, the plug plates 7 are abutted against the locking arm 22, so that the locking state is further stabilized, and then they are fixed by screws to complete the overall closure.

[0039] In one embodiment, a sloped water surface 8 is symmetrically provided on the upper surface of the box cover 11, and an exhaust hole 81 is opened in the middle part thereof. The box cover 11 is also provided with a sloped water top plate 82 located on the upper side of the exhaust hole 81, and side frame plates 83 are provided on both sides of the sloped water top plate 82; a water trough 84 is formed between the side frame plates 83 and the sloped water top plate 82, and the cross-sectional diameter of the water trough 84 gradually decreases from the upper surface of the sloped water top plate 82 to the upper surface of the box cover 11. When the trough box is used outdoors and in a rainy environment, rainwater falls on the sloped water top plate 82 and slides along the slopes on both sides thereof, and then enters the water trough 84 and flows toward the sloped water surface 8 on the box cover 11. When it passes through the water trough 84, its flow cross-section is reduced, and then the flow rate becomes faster. At this time, negative pressure appears on the side of the water flow, and then air is drawn from the exhaust hole 81, so that the hot air in the trough box is accelerated to circulate, thereby achieving the effect of heat dissipation and cooling of the internal cables while waterproofing.

[0040] In one embodiment, a disengaging frame 9 for unlocking the card assembly and the card slot 2 is also included, an embedding groove 91 is formed between the two sets of pin lock plates 56, and the disengaging frame 9 includes a push rod 92 adapted to be engaged with the embedding groove 91 and a holding rod 93 arranged on the push rod 92; an L-shaped slide groove 94 connected to the card pin groove 51 for limiting the sliding of the holding rod 93 is opened on the slot box body 1, and a through hole 95 for the push rod 92 to movably pass through is opened on the upper end of the lock pin box 52. When it is necessary to remove the connection between the slot box body 1, the push rod 92 is inserted into the embedding groove 91, and then the limiting card plate 54 is relatively pressed to shrink it into the second limiting sliding cavity 53 until the pin lock plate 56 and the side of the card pin groove 51 are released. The walls are dislocated and disengaged, and then the holding rod 93 is controlled to slide horizontally in the L-shaped slide groove 94, so that the lock pin box 52 moves synchronously, thereby driving the movable rod 23 to extend from the fixed rod 24, so that the snap rod 33 at the front end thereof slides to the bottom position of the arc-shaped slide groove 31, and then the holding rod 93 is controlled to slide longitudinally in the L-shaped slide groove 94, so that the push rod 92 slides upward along the embedded groove 91, and its upper end extends out from the through hole 95 and pushes the side of the inner slide rod 41, thereby lifting and rotating the locking arm 22 as a whole, until the snap rod 33 slides out of the arc-shaped slide groove 31, thereby completing the disassembly work. Through the setting of this structure, the overall disassembly and assembly are simple and fast, and it is easy to use.

[0041] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-restrictive in all respects, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the present invention.
