Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of electrical equipment protection, and in particular to a cable branch box with shock absorption and drainage functions. Background Technology
[0002] Cable distribution boxes, as important electrical equipment, play a crucial role in the distribution and transmission of power in power systems. With the continuous development of the power industry, the application scenarios of cable distribution boxes are becoming increasingly widespread, and their working environments are becoming more complex and diverse. In humid and vibration-prone environments, cable distribution boxes face severe challenges. Humid environments easily lead to condensation inside the cable distribution box, and excessive condensation can damage the electrical components inside, affecting the normal operation and service life of the equipment; vibration can loosen electrical connections, increasing the probability of malfunctions and even causing safety accidents. Therefore, how to effectively solve the vibration reduction and drainage problems of cable distribution boxes in humid and vibration-prone environments has become an important issue for ensuring the stable operation of power systems.
[0003] In related technologies, because the vibration damping and drainage systems operate independently and lack an effective coordination mechanism, they cannot automatically adjust their drainage capacity according to vibration conditions. This means that under conditions of significant vibration, the drainage system may fail to promptly remove the additional condensate generated by the vibration, exacerbating the water accumulation problem inside the box. Simultaneously, the independent system structure results in low space utilization within the cable distribution box, increasing the equipment's size and cost. Furthermore, traditional vibration damping methods are ineffective in complex vibration environments, failing to effectively protect the electrical components inside the box; simple drainage methods are also ill-suited to handling rapidly generated condensate, easily leading to poor drainage and affecting the normal operation and service life of the cable distribution box. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this application is to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems and provide a cable branch box with shock absorption and drainage functions.
[0005] A cable distribution box with shock absorption and drainage functions includes a box body and a support plate disposed inside the box body, and further includes: The vibration damping and drainage system includes a hydraulic energy conversion module, an inertial triggering module, a transmission isolation module, and a hydraulic-solid coupling module connected in sequence. The hydraulic energy conversion module includes a hydraulic cylinder connected to a support plate, used to convert mechanical vibration energy into hydraulic energy; The inertia triggering module includes an inertia valve connected to a hydraulic cylinder, which is used to open the oil circuit when a preset vibration threshold is reached; The transmission isolation module includes a transmission cylinder, which isolates the oil chamber and the water chamber by means of a first sliding piston; The liquid-solid coupling module includes a coupling water chamber, which isolates the water chamber and the air chamber by a second sliding piston; The water chamber is connected to a drain pipe, which is equipped with an adjustable damping valve.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, a deep mechanical coupling of vibration reduction and drainage functions is achieved, and vibration energy is directly converted into drainage power through mechanical transmission, forming an adaptive mechanism of "the greater the vibration, the stronger the drainage". This realizes a multi-level energy conversion path of "mechanical energy → hydraulic energy → hydrodynamic energy → thermal energy", significantly improving energy dissipation efficiency. The series connection of the four functional modules makes the system structure compact, solving the problems of large space occupation and poor coordination caused by the independent vibration reduction and drainage systems in traditional solutions.
[0007] Optionally, the inertial valve includes: a valve body with an internal valve seat separating the inflow chamber and the outflow chamber; a heavy metal ball sealed in the valve seat under the preload of a support spring; and a linkage mechanism including a linkage rod connected to the heavy metal ball and an umbrella-shaped block disposed in the outflow chamber; wherein the linkage rod passes through the valve seat, and the umbrella-shaped block pushes the linkage rod to open the heavy metal ball under the pressure of the backflow oil.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, bidirectional intelligent control of the system is achieved. During forward triggering, when the vibration reaches the threshold, the inertial force of the heavy metal ball overcomes the spring preload to open the oil circuit, ensuring that the system starts in time when needed. During reverse reset, the umbrella block-linkage rod mechanism actively pushes open the valve ball under the action of backflow oil pressure, solving the instability problem of traditional inertial valves relying on system pressure difference for reset. The line contact seal between the heavy metal ball and the valve seat ensures the sealing reliability in complex vibration environments. At the same time, through the series architecture of the four-level modules of "hydraulic energy conversion - inertial triggering - transmission isolation - hydraulic-solid coupling", deep mechanical coupling of vibration reduction and drainage functions is achieved. Vibration energy is directly converted into drainage power through mechanical transmission, forming an adaptive mechanism of "the greater the vibration, the stronger the drainage". This realizes a multi-level energy conversion path of "mechanical energy → hydraulic energy → water kinetic energy → thermal energy", significantly improving energy dissipation efficiency. Moreover, the series connection of the four functional modules makes the system structure compact, solving the problems of large space occupation and poor coordination caused by the independent vibration reduction and drainage systems in traditional solutions.
[0009] Optionally, the inertial valve may also include: an adjustment mechanism, including an adjustment rod, an adjustment plate, and a sealing bellows; the adjustment rod is threadedly connected to the valve body, and the preload of the support spring is changed by rotating the adjustment rod; the sealing bellows isolates the adjustment mechanism from the inflow chamber.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solutions, the adjustment mechanism achieves precise adjustment of the system's trigger sensitivity, enabling the same product to adapt to different vibration environments. The sealed bellows prevents oil leakage and oil contamination from affecting the adjustment accuracy, and the threaded structure of the adjustment rod facilitates quantitative adjustment.
[0011] Optionally, the transmission cylinder includes: a second cylinder body, in which a first sliding piston is slidably mounted; one end of the first sliding piston has an arc-shaped cavity for receiving oil pressure impacts from the inertia valve; the other end of the first sliding piston is rigidly connected to the second sliding piston of the coupling water chamber. By adopting the above technical solution, mechanical vibration energy is converted into hydraulic energy, and the oil circuit is opened when a preset vibration threshold is reached. The arc-shaped cavity structure effectively mitigates the impact force of the high-pressure oil, avoiding rigid impacts on the piston rod. The rigid connection between the piston rods ensures no lag in force transmission, improving system response speed. Simultaneously, the buffer design reduces peak impact force, extending the service life of the transmission mechanism, achieving deep mechanical coupling of vibration damping and drainage functions, and establishing system-level functional integration. Optionally, the coupling water chamber includes: an annular baffle that divides the chamber into a water chamber and an air chamber; an annular water bladder fitted onto the second sliding piston and located within the water chamber; and an inflation valve located at the end of the air chamber for filling and maintaining inert gas pressure. By adopting the above technical solution, the annular partition and the annular water bladder form a double isolation barrier, which can completely eliminate the risk of oil-water mixing; the pre-filled inert gas provides a stable reset pressure to ensure the consistency of system reset; the flexible design of the annular water bladder adapts to volume changes at different temperatures, avoiding the thermal expansion and contraction problems of rigid structures; the vibration damping and drainage system converts mechanical vibration energy into hydraulic energy, and opens the oil circuit when the preset vibration threshold is reached. After transmission isolation, the water chamber is compressed, which increases the liquid pressure in the water chamber and discharges it out of the tank to achieve active drainage. At the same time, the liquid flows through the adjustable damping valve to generate viscous resistance, which converts vibration energy into heat energy for dissipation, thereby achieving vibration damping.
[0012] Optionally, the water chamber is connected to: an inlet check valve, which is connected to the condensate collection tank via a water replenishment pipe; and an outlet check valve, which is connected to an adjustable damping valve via a drain pipe; wherein the condensate collection tank is positioned higher than the coupling water chamber, and automatic water replenishment is achieved by gravity.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, automatic water replenishment can be achieved by utilizing the height difference without the need for additional power. The one-way valve at the inlet can prevent high-pressure water from flowing back and contaminating the collection system, and can also ensure that the damping water is continuously replenished, avoiding water quality deterioration that could affect system performance.
[0014] Optionally, the adjustable damping valve is a needle valve.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solutions, the damping characteristics are adjustable, and the damping coefficient can be changed by adjusting the handwheel, so as to achieve precise optimization of the vibration reduction performance on site; the conical valve core of the needle valve provides linear flow-opening characteristics, which facilitates precise control; the wide range of adjustment capabilities enables the system to adapt to various working conditions from high-frequency small-amplitude vibration to low-frequency large-amplitude vibration.
[0016] Optionally, a condensate collection system is also included: a water guide trough, located on the inner wall of the tank and coated with a hydrophilic coating; a water collection plate, located on the lower part of the inner wall of the tank and equipped with a water collection trough; and a water baffle ring, located above the water collection plate and bent towards the inner wall of the tank; wherein the water collection plate is connected to the condensate collection tank through a pipe.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solutions, the hydrophilic coating and water guide channel design change the surface tension of water, promote the rapid collection of condensate, the water-blocking ring effectively prevents water droplets from splashing, ensures that all condensate is introduced into the collection system, and the water collection plate provides sufficient temporary storage capacity to adapt to sudden large amounts of condensation, significantly improving moisture-proof efficiency.
[0018] Optionally, the support plate is connected to the housing via damping springs, and the spring constant of the damping springs is matched with the damping characteristics of the hydraulic cylinder to form a graded damping system.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solutions, the vibration damping spring can absorb high-frequency small-amplitude vibrations, reduce the frequency of hydraulic system operation, and the matching design of spring characteristics and hydraulic damping can avoid resonance and improve comfort. The graded vibration damping can also reduce peak acceleration, protect the precision electrical components inside the box, and achieve reasonable distribution of vibration energy.
[0020] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. Through the serial architecture of four-level modules of "hydraulic energy conversion - inertial triggering - transmission isolation - hydraulic-solid coupling", deep mechanical coupling of vibration reduction and drainage functions is achieved, and vibration energy is converted into drainage power, forming an adaptive mechanism of "the greater the vibration, the stronger the drainage", which solves the problem of poor coordination between vibration reduction and drainage systems in traditional solutions; 2. The system realizes a multi-stage energy conversion path of "mechanical energy → hydraulic energy → hydrodynamic energy → thermal energy", which significantly improves energy dissipation efficiency and solves the problem of poor vibration reduction effect of traditional vibration reduction methods in complex vibration environments; 3.

[0028] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 The hydraulic cylinder 3 is connected to an inertia valve 4, which includes a valve body 401 and a valve seat 402 fixedly connected inside the valve body 401.

The support spring 408 is positioned towards the center of the valve seat 402, and in its natural state, it can pass through the valve seat 402. Additionally, a heavy metal ball 409 is fixedly connected to the side of the support spring 408 facing the valve seat 402, and the heavy metal ball 409 is located within the inflow cavity. The support spring 408 applies preload to the heavy metal ball 409 towards the valve seat 402, causing the heavy metal ball 409 to block the valve seat 402, thereby isolating the inflow cavity from the outflow cavity.

In its initial position, the first sliding piston 501 abuts against the inner wall of the second cylinder body 502 at the through hole, and an arc-shaped cavity is provided on the side of the first sliding piston 501 facing the second connecting bellows 404. The side of the first sliding piston 501 away from the second connecting bellows 404 extends out of the second cylinder body 502.
[0033] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 9 The coupling water tank 6 includes a tank body 602 and a second sliding piston 601 slidably disposed within the tank body 602. An annular partition 603 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tank body 602, dividing the inner wall of the tank body 602 into a water chamber and an air chamber. The end of the second sliding piston 601 away from the air chamber extends out of the tank body 602 and is connected and fixed to the first sliding piston 501 via a connector. The second sliding piston 601 passes through the annular partition 603 and extends into the air chamber. At the same time, a third sealing ring is fixedly connected to the annular inner wall of the annular partition 603, and the third sealing ring abuts against the surface of the second sliding piston 601.
[0034] A first pressure plate 604 is axially fitted onto a portion of the second sliding piston 601 within the water cavity. The surface of the first pressure plate 604 is covered with an elastic rubber layer and abuts against the inner wall of the chamber 602. Simultaneously, an annular water bladder 605 is fixedly connected to the side of the first pressure plate 604 facing the annular partition 603 and is filled with condensate. The annular water bladder 605 is simultaneously fitted onto the outer surface of the second sliding piston 601 at the water cavity, with the end of the annular water bladder 605 away from the first pressure plate 604 fixedly connected to the surface of the annular partition 603. A second pressure plate 606 is fixedly connected to the end of the second sliding piston 601 at the air cavity. The surface of the second pressure plate 606 is also covered with an elastic rubber layer, and in the initial state, the second pressure plate 606 abuts against the surface of the annular partition 603, forming a sealed cavity between the second pressure plate 606 and the bottom of the chamber 602. In addition, an inflation valve 15 is fixedly connected to the end surface of the chamber 602 opposite to the first sliding piston 501. Inert gas is injected into the sealed cavity through the inflation valve 15. The inflation valve 15 remains in a normally closed state after inflation is completed.
[0035] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 9 A water inlet check valve 16 and a water outlet check valve 17 are fixedly connected to the surface of the chamber 602 at the water cavity. The water inlet check valve 16 is connected to a condensate collection tank 18 via a water supply pipe 19. The condensate collection tank 18 is connected to the bottom of the chamber 1 via a fixing bracket and is positioned above the chamber 602. Simultaneously, the condensate collection tank 18 is connected to the water collection trough 13 of the water collection plate 12 via a pipe, allowing condensate from the chamber 1 to flow into the collection tank 18. An overflow port is provided on the collection tank 18 to prevent excessive condensate buildup.
[0036] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 5 The outlet check valve 17 is connected to the drain pipe 20, and the overflow port of the collection tank 18 is connected to the drain pipe 20 via a pipe. An adjustable damping valve 7 is connected along the path of the drain pipe 20. The adjustable damping valve 7 is a needle valve, comprising a needle valve body, a conical needle valve core, and an adjusting handwheel. By rotating the adjusting handwheel, the needle valve core can be moved relative to the needle valve seat, thereby precisely changing the cross-sectional area of the liquid flow channel through the needle valve body. A decrease in the flow channel area increases the liquid flow resistance, thus enhancing the damping effect of the system; conversely, an increase in the flow channel area decreases the damping effect. In this way, operators can calibrate and optimize the damping force of the vibration reduction system on-site according to the vibration characteristics of the actual installation location of the cable branch box to achieve the best vibration reduction effect.
[0037] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: When the cable branch box is subjected to external vibration, the support plate 2 is displaced, and the damping spring 9 provides initial buffering. This drives the damping piston 302 of the hydraulic cylinder 3 to compress the insulating oil, converting the vibration energy into oil pressure. The oil pressure is transmitted to the inertia valve 4 through the first connecting bellows 403. When the vibration acceleration reaches a preset threshold, the heavy metal ball 409 of the inertia valve 4 overcomes the preload of the support spring 408 under the action of inertial force, disengaging from the valve seat 402 and opening the oil circuit. The oil pressure then enters the transmission cylinder 5 through the second connecting bellows 404. The first sliding piston 501 of the transmission cylinder 5 is pushed by the oil pressure, transmitting the motion to the second sliding piston 601 of the coupling water chamber 6. The second sliding piston 601 compresses the water chamber, increasing the pressure of the liquid condensate in the water chamber, opening the outlet check valve 17, and flowing through the adjustable damping valve 7. The liquid generates viscous resistance when flowing through the adjustable damping valve 7, converting the vibration energy into heat energy for dissipation, thus achieving vibration reduction. At the same time, the liquid is discharged outside the tank, completing the active drainage.
[0038] After the vibration stops, the inert gas in the air chamber of the coupling water tank 6 expands, pushing the second sliding piston 601 to reset, restoring the water chamber volume, generating negative pressure, and opening the inlet check valve 16 to draw in new condensate from the condensate collection tank 18 for replenishment. Simultaneously, the first sliding piston 501 of the transmission cylinder 5, during the reset process, squeezes the oil inside, causing it to flow back through the second connecting bellows 404 to the outlet chamber of the inertia valve 4. At this time, the hydraulic pressure in the outlet chamber increases, pushing the umbrella block 413 to slide closer to the valve seat 402. The umbrella block 413, through the support block 412, pushes the linkage rod 410, causing the linkage rod 410 to push open the heavy metal ball 409, resulting in the deformation and contraction of the support spring 408, thereby opening the oil passage of the inertia valve 4, allowing the oil to flow back to the hydraulic cylinder 3, completing the system reset. The condensate collection tank 18 collects the condensate in the tank 1 through the water collection plate 12 and the water guide trough 11, forming a circulation. The entire system automatically achieves coordinated shock absorption and drainage through mechanical structure, improving the reliability of the equipment in humid and vibration-prone environments.
