Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of communication boxes, and more particularly to an outdoor communication box that is easy to maintain. Background Technology
[0002] Outdoor communication boxes are critical infrastructure in modern communication networks, primarily used to protect internal precision communication equipment from external environmental influences and ensure the stability and reliability of signal transmission. However, in actual operation, these devices face severe environmental challenges.
[0003] First, outdoor communication boxes face the challenges of complex and ever-changing natural environments, including extreme temperatures, sudden downpours, and blizzards. These environmental factors not only accelerate equipment aging and damage but also significantly hinder maintenance work. For example, in heavy rain, maintenance personnel find it difficult to open the box for inspection, as rainwater may seep into the box or wet tools, increasing operational risks. In high-temperature environments, prolonged outdoor work can easily lead to heatstroke, and the high temperatures may also accelerate equipment aging, further increasing maintenance frequency. Although existing communication boxes are usually equipped with roof structures to block rainwater from above, water seepage may still occur during strong winds accompanied by slanted rainfall, causing internal electronic components to become damp, short-circuit, or even damaged. These problems not only reduce maintenance efficiency but may also affect the stability of the communication system due to untimely repairs. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides an easy-to-maintain outdoor communication box, which can overcome the disadvantages of existing outdoor communication boxes in rainy weather, where maintenance personnel have difficulty opening and repairing the box, and rainwater may seep into the box or wet the tools, increasing the operational risks.
[0005] The technical solution is as follows: an easy-to-maintain outdoor communication box, comprising: a communication box body; mounting plates symmetrically connected to both sides of the communication box body; a rotating baffle rotatably connected to the mounting plate and rotatably connected to the communication box body; a sliding top cover slidably connected to the top of the communication box body; an electric roller shutter installed on the side of the sliding top cover; a cylinder symmetrically installed on both sides of the communication box body; a horizontal plate connected to the telescopic rod of the cylinder, and the top of the horizontal plate connected to the bottom of the sliding top cover; and a limiting mechanism set on the rotating baffle for limiting the curtain of the electric roller shutter.
[0006] As an improvement to the above solution, the limiting mechanism includes: an L-shaped limiting plate connected to the side of the rotating baffle; and a counterweight rod connected to the lower end of the curtain of the electric roller blind, with the counterweight rod in contact with the L-shaped limiting plate.
[0007] As an improvement to the above solution, it also includes: a connecting plate, symmetrically connected to the inner wall of the sliding top cover; an extrusion block, connected to the bottom of the connecting plate, the extrusion block having an inclined surface and an arc surface, and the end face of the L-shaped limiting plate contacting the inclined surface; and a torsion spring, symmetrically wound around the outside of the rotating shaft of the rotating baffle, with one end of the torsion spring connected to the rotating baffle and the other end of the torsion spring connected to the mounting plate and the communication box body respectively.
[0008] As an improvement to the above solution, it also includes: a guide rail connected to one of the side panels of the communication box body; a slider symmetrically slidably connected to the inside of the guide rail; a storage frame rotatably connected to the slider; and a locking mechanism set on the guide rail for locking the slider.
[0009] As an improvement to the above solution, the locking mechanism includes: a locking frame, one of which has symmetrically opened insertion holes on its side, the locking frame is slidably connected to the side of the guide rail, and the end of the locking frame can be inserted into the insertion hole; a handle connected to the side of the locking frame; and a connecting spring, with its two ends connected to the locking frame and the guide rail respectively.
[0010] As an improvement to the above solution, it also includes: a magnet attached to the side of the storage frame.
[0011] As an improvement to the above solution, it also includes: a fixing plate, which is connected to the inner wall of the communication box body; and a camera, which is installed on the side of the fixing plate.
[0012] As an improvement to the above solution, it also includes: lighting lamps, symmetrically installed on the side of the mounting plate near the camera.
[0013] Beneficial effects: 1. This invention uses a sliding top cover to move forward and shield the top of the communication box body, and with the rotating baffle unfolding to form left and right side protection, and with the curtain of the electric roller shutter falling down to form front shielding, it can form a closed maintenance space in front of the communication box. This structure effectively blocks the effects of harsh environments such as slanting wind and rain, and scorching sun, and prevents rainwater from seeping into the equipment or wetting the tools, while reducing the risk of high temperature operation for maintenance personnel.
[0014] 2. When the cylinder drives the sliding top cover of the present invention to move, the squeezing block can automatically push the rotating baffle to rotate to the protective position. When resetting, the torsion spring drives the rotating baffle to rebound without manual intervention. In addition, the counterweight rod assists the electric roller shutter to unfold quickly under the action of gravity and is locked with the L-shaped limit plate to achieve one-click quick deployment and storage.
[0015] 3. The storage frame of the present invention adjusts its height by sliding within the guide rail and is fixed in position by inserting a locking bracket into the socket, making it convenient for storing tools and parts. Magnets attract the door panel to ensure that the storage frame is stored securely. In addition, a camera and a light source monitor the status inside the box in real time and provide illumination, further optimizing the maintenance experience. Attached Figure Description

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0034] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0035] Example: An easy-to-maintain outdoor communication box, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a communication box body 1, a mounting plate 2, a rotating baffle 3, a sliding top cover 4, an electric roller shutter 5, a cylinder 6, a horizontal plate 7, and a limiting mechanism. The front of the left and right sides of the communication box body 1 is connected to the mounting plate 2. The two mounting plates 2 are rotatably connected to the side of each other that is far apart from each other, and the lower ends of the rotating shafts of the two rotating baffles 3 are rotatably connected to the communication box body 1. The top of the communication box body 1 is slidably connected to the sliding top cover 4. The electric roller shutter 5 is installed on the front side of the sliding top cover 4. The upper left and right sides of the communication box body 1 are each equipped with a cylinder 6. The telescopic rods of the two cylinders 6 are connected to the horizontal plate 7, and the top of the horizontal plate 7 is connected to the bottom front side of the sliding top cover 4. The rotating baffle 3 is provided with a limiting mechanism for limiting the curtain of the electric roller shutter 5.
[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the limiting mechanism includes an L-shaped limiting plate 8 and a counterweight rod 9. The rear sides of the two rotating baffles 3 are connected to the L-shaped limiting plate 8. The lower end of the curtain of the electric roller blind 5 is connected to the counterweight rod 9, and the counterweight rod 9 is in contact with the L-shaped limiting plate 8.
[0037] When maintenance is required on the communication box body 1, firstly, the cylinder 6 drives the sliding top cover 4 forward so that the sliding top cover 4 can block the upper front side of the communication box body 1. The sliding top cover 4 can also drive the electric roller shutter 5 forward. Then, the worker can rotate the left and right rotating baffles 3 forward so that the two rotating baffles 3 can block the left and right sides in front of the communication box body 1 respectively. The rotating baffles 3 can drive the L-shaped limit plates 8 to rotate forward so that the two L-shaped limit plates 8 can rotate to the left and right sides below the counterweight rod 9 respectively. Then the worker can stand... Below the sliding top cover 4, the curtain of the electric roller blind 5 is unfolded. Under the action of gravity, the counterweight rod 9 moves downward to assist the unfolding of the curtain of the electric roller blind 5. The left and right ends of the counterweight rod 9 can respectively enter the two L-shaped limiting plates 8. The L-shaped limiting plates 8 limit the counterweight rod 9, thereby limiting the curtain of the electric roller blind 5. At this time, the curtain of the electric roller blind 5 can block the front of the communication box body 1. The two rotating baffles 3, the sliding top cover 4, and the curtain of the electric roller blind 5 can form a barrier on the front side of the communication box body 1. A protective space is provided for workers to occupy. The door panel 101 of the communication box 1 can be rotated open for maintenance. During maintenance, the curtains of the rotating baffle 3, sliding top cover 4, and electric roller shutter 5 protect the worker and the interior of the communication box 1 from adverse weather conditions. For example, in rainy weather, it prevents the worker and their tools from getting wet and also prevents rainwater from entering the communication box 1; in hot weather, it protects against... Prevent workers and the interior of the communication box 1 from being exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods. After maintenance, the door panel 101 can be rotated to close, and then the curtain of the electric roller shutter 5 can be retracted. The curtain of the electric roller shutter 5 can drive the counterweight rod 9 to move upward and reset, so that the counterweight rod 9 separates from the L-shaped limit plate 8. Then, the rotating baffle 3 is rotated backward and reset. The rotating baffle 3 drives the L-shaped limit plate 8 to rotate backward and reset. Finally, the cylinder 6 drives the sliding top cover 4 to move backward and reset. The sliding top cover 4 drives the electric roller shutter 5 to move backward and reset.
[0038] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, it also includes a connecting plate 10, a pressing block 11, and a torsion spring 12. The inner wall of the sliding top cover 4 is symmetrically connected to the connecting plate 10 on the left and right sides. The bottom rear side of the two connecting plates 10 is connected to the pressing block 11, and the two pressing blocks 11 are provided with a slope 1101 and an arc surface 1102. The rotating baffle 3 is symmetrically wound with torsion springs 12 on the outer side of the rotating shaft. The two ends of the upper torsion spring 12 are respectively connected to the rotating baffle 3 and the mounting plate 2, and the two ends of the lower torsion spring 12 are respectively connected to the rotating baffle 3 and the communication box body 1.
[0039] Initially, both the left and right rotating baffles 3 are tilted, and the rear side of the L-shaped limiting plate 8 is in contact with the inclined surface 1101. When the cylinder 6 drives the sliding top cover 4 to move forward, the sliding top cover 4 can drive the connecting plate 10 and the pressing block 11 to move forward. The pressing block 11 presses the rear side of the L-shaped limiting plate 8 through the inclined surface 1101, which can cause the rotating baffle 3 and the L-shaped limiting plate 8 to rotate forward automatically. The torsion spring 12 deforms. When the rotating baffle 3 rotates to a horizontal state, the arc surface 1102 on the pressing block 11 will contact the rotation axis of the rotating baffle 3, thereby pressing the rotating baffle 3 to continue rotating forward. The rotating baffle 3 drives the L-shaped limiting plate 8 to rotate forward until the two rotating baffles 3 can respectively block the left and right sides in front of the communication box body 1 (e.g., Figure 7 As shown in the figure, at this time, the squeezing block 11 can limit the rotating baffle 3 to prevent the rotating baffle 3 from rotating arbitrarily; when the cylinder 6 drives the sliding top cover 4 to move backward and reset, the sliding top cover 4 can drive the connecting plate 10 and the squeezing block 11 to move backward and reset, so that the squeezing block 11 is separated from the rotating baffle 3. At this time, the torsion spring 12 will return to its original state, driving the rotating baffle 3 and the L-shaped limiting plate 8 to rotate backward and reset. There is no need to manually control the rotating baffle 3 to rotate, which saves time and effort.
[0040] like Figures 8-11 As shown, it also includes a guide rail 13, a slider 14, a storage frame 15, and a locking mechanism. The rear side of the door panel 101 on the front right side of the communication box body 1 is connected to the guide rail 13 (to... Figure 1 (Described from the perspective shown) The guide rail 13 is U-shaped. Sliding blocks 14 are symmetrically connected to the guide rail 13, and a storage frame 15 is rotatably connected between the two sliding blocks 14. The guide rail 13 is equipped with a locking mechanism for locking the sliding blocks 14. The locking mechanism includes a locking frame 17, a handle 18, and a connecting spring 19. Two insertion holes 16 are opened on the side of the left sliding block 14. The locking frame 17 is slidably connected to the left side of the guide rail 13, and the end of the locking frame 17 can be inserted into the insertion hole 16. A handle 18 is connected to the middle left side of the locking frame 17. Connecting springs 19 are symmetrically connected vertically between the locking frame 17 and the guide rail 13. Figure 12As shown, it also includes a magnet 20. The front side of the storage frame 15 is connected to the magnet 20. The door panel 101 is made of iron. The magnet 20 can be attracted to the door panel 101 by magnetic force to fix the position of the storage frame 15.
[0041] When the worker rotates and opens the door panel 101 of the communication box body 1, the storage frame 15 is located on the worker's right. The worker can then rotate the storage frame 15 downwards by 90 degrees to unfold it. The storage frame 15 can drive the magnet 20 to rotate, causing the magnet 20 to disengage from the door panel 101. The lower side of the storage frame 15 will also abut against the side of the door panel 101 to limit the storage frame 15 and prevent it from rotating arbitrarily. Then, the worker can pull the handle 18 away from the storage frame 15, causing the locking frame 17 to move away from the storage frame 15. The connecting spring 19 will then stretch, causing the locking frame 17 to disengage from the socket 16. At this time, the storage frame 15 can be moved up and down, which will cause the slider 14 to move up and down. When the storage frame 15 is moved to a suitable height, the handle 18 can be released, so that the connecting spring 19 returns to its original state, and the locking frame 17 and the handle 18 move closer to the storage frame 15 to reset, so that the locking frame 17 is inserted into the socket 16 to lock the slider 14 and the storage frame 15 and fix the height of the storage frame 15. During the maintenance of the communication box body 1, the worker can place the tools or parts in the storage frame 15 without placing the tools or parts on the wet ground. This not only makes it easy to pick up, but also prevents the tools or parts from coming into contact with rainwater.
[0042] like Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, it also includes a fixing plate 21, a camera 22, and a lighting lamp 23. The fixing plate 21 is connected to the front of the inner top of the communication box body 1. The camera 22 is installed in the middle of the rear side of the fixing plate 21. The lighting lamps 23 are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the rear side of the fixing plate 21. The lighting lamps 23 are used to provide lighting for the inside of the communication box body 1, so that the camera 22 can monitor the internal condition of the communication box body 1 in real time. When a fault occurs inside the communication box body 1, it can be detected by manpower in time. Moreover, under the illumination of the lighting lamps 23, it is also convenient for workers to maintain the inside of the communication box body 1.
[0043] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
