Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of branch box technology, and particularly relates to a cable branch box and method that are easy to maintain. Background Technology
[0002] Cable branch boxes (also known as cable junction boxes) are core supporting equipment in power distribution network systems. They are mainly used for branching, connecting, and transferring cable lines to achieve flexible power distribution.
[0003] Traditional cable distribution boxes have many electrical connection points due to their function, and the traditional electrical connection method will greatly reduce the connection efficiency and installation efficiency of the distribution box.
[0004] When problems occur in open-air cable distribution boxes, timely emergency repairs and maintenance must be carried out regardless of whether it is sunny or rainy. During prolonged emergency repairs in the rain, rainwater can enter the box and cause short circuits. On sunny days, prolonged emergency repairs with the box open can cause discomfort to maintenance personnel due to excessively high temperatures and direct sunlight.
[0005] During heavy rain, water accumulated in cable trenches or cable wells can backflow into the branch boxes, causing short circuits due to water immersion. At the same time, moisture from cable trenches or cable wells can also enter the boxes through cable holes under normal circumstances, causing condensation and potentially leading to short circuits.
[0006] In addition, existing branch boxes may have multiple cable clamping structures for fixing cables. Each cable clamping structure occupies a certain amount of space inside the box due to its fixed position, which affects operation. Furthermore, unused cable clamping structures cannot adapt to the different curvatures required for installation and fixing cables of different thicknesses due to their fixed positions.
[0007] This invention designs a cable branch box that is easy to maintain, thus solving the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0008] Therefore, it is necessary to address the existing problems of current cable distribution boxes by providing a maintenance-friendly cable distribution box. A shielding component can act as a rain or sun awning when the cabinet door is opened for emergency repairs in rainy or hot weather, preventing rainwater from entering the cabinet and causing short circuits, or preventing discomfort caused by excessive sunlight exposure. A cable distribution component enables plug-and-play and quick disconnection of main and branch cables, improving the efficiency of branch box assembly and disassembly, as well as cable connection maintenance. A cable clamping component secures cables of different thicknesses and specifications with corresponding curvatures and electrical connections to the cable distribution component, ensuring the stability of the connection between the component and the cable. An anti-pull component prevents cables from being accidentally pulled by maintenance personnel in the cable trench, preventing loosening of connections and poor contact, and also facilitating maintenance work in the cable trench without affecting the branch box. A moisture-venting component ensures that moisture from the cable trench does not enter the cable distribution cavity of the cabinet through the second cable hole on the floating plate and the first cable hole at the top of the drainage chamber, preventing condensation and short circuits at cable connections. Anti-backflow components prevent water accumulation in the cable trench from flowing back into the cabinet and causing a short circuit.
[0009] The above objectives are achieved through the following technical solutions: A maintenance-friendly cable distribution box for power distribution and transmission, comprising: The cabinet is used to install electrical components. The cabinet has a cable distribution chamber and a drainage chamber arranged from top to bottom. The cabinet opening on the front side of the cable distribution chamber is provided with two double cabinet doors and a rain shield component that can be operated with one hand when opening the cabinet doors for maintenance.
[0010] The cable splitting assembly, located at the top of the cable splitting cavity, is used to split power into two. The cable splitting assembly includes a two-way branch connector mounted on the top of the cable splitting cavity via a bracket. The outer surface of the branch connector is provided with a first insulating sleeve. Each of the three ends of the branch connector is provided with a first connector and a second connector to enable plug-in locking with the cable. The first connector and the second connector have the structural feature of increasing the electrical contact area.
[0011] The cable clamping assemblies, located on both sides of the cable distribution cavity, are used to fix the cable at the bend and guide the cable end that passes through from bottom to top horizontally to the corresponding end of the cable distribution assembly. The cable clamping assemblies have the structural features of adapting to the bending curvature of cables of different thicknesses and being stored in a straight state to the side wall of the cable distribution cavity when not in use.
[0012] The anti-pull component, located at the bottom of the first cable insertion hole of the cable distribution cavity, is used to prevent the connection between the cable and the cable distribution component from becoming loose due to downward pulling of the cable.
[0013] A moisture-venting component is used to prevent moisture from the cable well from entering the cable distribution chamber through the first cable penetration hole.
[0014] The anti-backflow component is used to prevent water accumulated in the cable well from entering the cable distribution cavity through the first cable penetration hole at the bottom of the cable distribution cavity and causing a short circuit.

The guide rod is provided with a first spring to prevent the card holder assembly from approaching the corresponding L seat. The winding wheel is rotatably connected to the first ring sleeve on the inner wall of the corresponding side L seat. A vortex spring that drives the winding wheel to wind the pull rope is connected between the winding wheel and the second ring sleeve on the inner wall of the corresponding side L seat. A third ring sleeve coaxial with the turning pin is provided on the outer side of one of the L seats. A fourth ring sleeve is provided in the third ring sleeve through a one-way ring. A fifth ring sleeve slides axially in the fourth ring sleeve. A first torsion wheel is provided at the outer end of the fifth ring sleeve. A second spring that makes the first torsion wheel axially approach the annular protrusion is connected between the first torsion wheel and the annular protrusion at the end of the fourth ring sleeve. Two second slots are opened at the inner end of the fifth ring sleeve, which are distributed at 180-degree intervals in the circumference and correspond one-to-one with the two card blocks on the end of the turning pin.
[0019] In one embodiment, the card holder assembly includes a sliding sleeve slidably disposed on a guide rod and connected to a first spring. A fixed rod connected to a pull rope is disposed within the sliding sleeve. The fixed rod slides within a groove on the guide rod communicating with a rope-threading hole. A U-shaped seat is connected to the sliding sleeve via a connecting frame. The opening of the U-shaped seat is located on the front side, and two branches of the U-shaped seat are distributed perpendicular to the corresponding guide rod. Two coaxial second threaded sleeves are rotatably disposed on the two branches of the U-shaped seat. Each of the two second threaded sleeves is threadedly connected to a screw. A clamp is disposed at the inner end of each of the two screws. A first gear is disposed at the outer end of the second threaded sleeve. The first gear meshes with a second gear disposed on a corresponding branch of the U-shaped seat via a first rotating shaft. A second rotating shaft is disposed on the outer side of the U-shaped seat. Two fourth gears are disposed at both ends of the second rotating shaft. The two fourth gears mesh with two third gears disposed on the two first rotating shafts in a one-to-one correspondence. A third rotating shaft is disposed on the connecting frame. A second torsion wheel and a fifth gear meshing with one of the first gears are respectively disposed at both ends of the third rotating shaft.
[0020] In one embodiment, the anti-pull assembly includes two symmetrically arranged rod sleeves at the first cable hole. A top rod slides horizontally within each rod sleeve. A wheel seat is provided at the end of each top rod. A clamping wheel that engages with the cable is arranged within the wheel seat via an axle. A third spring is provided within each rod sleeve to move the top rod outwards. Sixth gears are provided at both ends of the axle. The two sixth gears mesh with seventh gears located on corresponding sides of the wheel seat via a fourth rotating shaft.

The eleventh gear is coaxially connected to a twelfth gear. The twelfth gear meshes with a first rack sliding in a direction parallel to the movement of the top rod within a guide sleeve on the corresponding side of the rod sleeve.
[0021] In one embodiment, the dehumidification assembly includes a sixth ring sleeve rotatably disposed within a fixed sleeve inside a first cable-passing hole at the bottom of the cable-distributing cavity. The lower end of the sixth ring sleeve is provided with a ring plate, and a plurality of circumferentially evenly distributed blades are provided on the lower side of the ring plate. The blades are vortex-shaped and coaxial with the ring plate, and the cross-section of the blades is inclined. A first pulley is provided on the sixth ring sleeve, and the first pulley is connected to a second pulley on the output shaft of the motor at the bottom of the cable-distributing cavity via a synchronous belt.
[0022] In one embodiment, the anti-backflow component includes a float plate that slides within the drainage chamber. The float plate has several second cable holes corresponding to the first cable holes. Two second baffles symmetrically arranged on the lower side of the float plate control the opening and closing of the drainage holes at the bottom of the corresponding side of the drainage chamber. The drainage holes are located above the fixed plates on both sides of the bottom of the cabinet. A fourth spring connects the float plate to the bottom of the drainage chamber, causing the second baffles to abut against the bottom of the drainage chamber and close the drainage holes. Four second racks symmetrically arranged at the upper side of the float plate are arranged in a four-corner configuration. Two second racks on the same side mesh with two thirteenth gears mounted on the corresponding sidewall of the drainage chamber via a sixth rotating shaft. A fourteenth gear is mounted on the sixth rotating shaft, meshing with a fifteenth gear mounted on the corresponding sidewall of the drainage chamber via a seventh rotating shaft. A sixteenth gear is mounted on the seventh rotating shaft, with two sixteenth gears on opposite sides meshing with two seventeenth gears mounted on the top of the drainage chamber via an eighth rotating shaft.
[0023] The operation method of a cable branch box that is easy to maintain is as follows: S1. First, open the shielding component with one hand. Then, open the two cabinet doors for installation and connection. After the installation and connection are completed, close and lock the cabinet doors before putting down the shielding component. S2. Insert the cable from the cable trench through the first cable insertion hole in the drainage chamber and the second cable insertion hole on the floating plate into the cable distribution chamber. Strip the insulation from the end of the cable and insert it into the protective sleeve in the second connector. The copper core of the cable contacts the conductive copper block. Rotate the first screw sleeve to cause the top pressure sleeve to interact with the first conical surface at the end of the clamping block, so that the clamping block forms a fixed connection between the cable and the second connector. When the cable passes through the first cable insertion hole, use both hands to pry open the two clamping rollers of the anti-pull assembly. When the end of the cable reaches the second connector, release the two clamping rollers of the anti-pull assembly. The two clamping rollers clamp the cable under the action of the corresponding third spring. When it is necessary to disconnect the first connector and the second connector, forcefully separate the first connector and the second connector. S3. Unfold the cable clamping assembly corresponding to the cable on the side wall of the cable distribution cavity and bend and fix the cable with the corresponding curvature; when it is necessary to remove the cable, take the cable out from the two clamping assemblies and then store the two guide rods of the cable clamping assembly in a straight position on the side wall of the cable distribution cavity. S4. During the use of the branch box, when the internal humidity reaches a certain level, the humidity sensor transmits the signal to the control system. The control system controls the motor to start, and the motor drives the dehumidification component to run. The dehumidification component gathers the moisture rising from the first cable hole to the middle of the second cable hole on the float and pushes it downward to prevent the moisture from moving upward through the first cable hole into the branch cable cavity. S5. During the use of the branch box, when water in the cable trench enters the drainage chamber through the first cable hole to a certain height, the float moves upward under the action of buoyancy and drives the two second baffles to open the drainage hole. The water that has entered the drainage chamber is discharged through the opened drainage hole to prevent water from entering the branch cable chamber and causing a short circuit. After the water in the drainage chamber 102 recedes, the float returns to its original position under the action of the fourth spring and drives the two second baffles to close the drainage hole to prevent dust from entering.
[0024] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. The shielding component installed on the front side of the cabinet in this invention can form a rain shelter or sunshade when the cabinet door is opened for emergency repairs and maintenance in rainy or hot weather, preventing rainwater from entering the cabinet and causing short circuits or excessively hot sunlight from causing discomfort to maintenance personnel.
[0025] 2. The cable distribution assembly in this invention can realize plug-and-play and quick disconnection of main cables and branch cables, which facilitates the improvement of the disassembly and assembly efficiency of branch boxes and the maintenance efficiency of cable connections.
[0026] 3. The cable clamping assembly in this invention can adapt to different curvatures for different thicknesses, ensuring the stability of the connection between the cable distribution assembly and the cable. When the cable is not installed and fixed, the cable clamping assembly can be stored in the side wall of the cabinet without occupying extra space, which facilitates maintenance operations for maintenance personnel.
[0027] 4. The anti-pull component installed at the first cable hole at the bottom of the cable distribution cavity of the cabinet in this invention does not obstruct the movement of the cable during the process of the cable being transported from the cable trench into the cabinet, but locks the cable when it is pulled outward from the cable trench. This prevents poor contact caused by the connection point of the cable being loosened due to unintentional pulling by maintenance personnel in the cable trench. At the same time, it also facilitates maintenance personnel in the cable trench to carry out corresponding maintenance work without affecting the branch box.
[0028] 5. The dehumidification component located at the first cable hole in the drainage cavity at the bottom of the cabinet can reverse the moisture from the cable trench back to the cable trench through the first cable hole, ensuring that the moisture from the cable trench will not enter the cable distribution cavity of the cabinet through the second cable hole on the floating plate and the first cable hole at the top of the drainage cavity, causing a short circuit at the cable connection point due to condensation.
[0029] 6. The anti-backflow component located at the bottom of the drainage chamber at the bottom of the cabinet in this invention allows water accumulated in the cable trench to flow back into the drainage chamber through the first cable penetration hole at the bottom of the drainage chamber, opening the drainage holes on the side wall of the drainage chamber for drainage, thus preventing water accumulated in the cable trench from flowing back into the cabinet and causing a short circuit. The drainage holes are normally blocked and closed by the second baffles located on both sides of the floating plate to prevent dust from entering.
[0030] 7. The shielding component in this invention can be unfolded or folded up with just one hand. Attached Figure Description

[0048] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 11As shown, the anti-backflow assembly 600 includes a float plate 601 that slides within the drain cavity 102. The float plate 601 has several second cable holes 602 corresponding to the first cable holes 103. Two second baffles 603 are symmetrically arranged on the lower side of the float plate 601 to open and close the corresponding bottom drain holes 106 of the drain cavity 102. The drain holes 106 are located above the fixing plates 105 on both sides of the bottom of the cabinet 100. A fourth spring 613 connects the float plate 601 and the bottom of the drain cavity 102, causing the second baffles 603 to abut against the bottom of the drain cavity 102 and close the drain holes 106. Symmetrical arrangements are also provided on the upper side of the float plate 601. Four second racks 604 are arranged in a four-corner configuration.

Two sixteenth gears 610 that are opposite each other on the left and right mesh with two seventeenth gears 611 that are mounted on the top of the drainage chamber 102 via an eighth rotating shaft 612.
[0049] The shielding component 109, located on the front side of the cabinet 100 in this invention, can act as a rain shelter or sunshade when the cabinet door 108 is opened for emergency repairs and maintenance in rainy or hot weather. This prevents rainwater from entering the cabinet and causing short circuits, or avoids discomfort caused by excessive sunlight exposure. The cable distribution component 200 in this invention enables plug-and-play and quick disconnection of the main cable 701 and branch cables 701, improving the efficiency of branch box assembly and disassembly, as well as the maintenance efficiency of cable 701 connections. The cable clamping component 300 in this invention can adapt to different curvatures for various cable thicknesses, ensuring the stability of the connection between the cable distribution component 200 and the cable 701. Furthermore, when not installing or fixing cables, the cable clamping component 300 can be stored in the side wall of the cabinet 100 without occupying extra space, facilitating maintenance operations. In this invention, the anti-pull component 400, which is located at the first cable hole 103 at the bottom of the cable distribution cavity 101 of the cabinet 100 and cooperates with the cable 701, does not obstruct the movement of the cable 701 during the process of the cable 701 being transported from the cable trench into the cabinet 100. Instead, it locks the cable 701 when it is pulled outward from the cable trench, preventing poor contact caused by the connection point of the cable 701 being loosened due to unintentional pulling by maintenance personnel in the cable trench. At the same time, it also facilitates maintenance personnel in the cable trench to carry out corresponding maintenance work without affecting the branch box. In this invention, the dehumidification component 500 located at the first cable hole 103 within the drainage chamber 102 at the bottom of the cabinet 100 can reverse the moisture from the cable trench back into the cable trench through the first cable hole 103, ensuring that moisture from the cable trench does not enter the cable distribution chamber 101 of the cabinet 100 through the second cable hole 602 on the float 601 and the first cable hole 103 at the top of the drainage chamber 102, causing condensation and short circuits at the cable 701 connection points. The anti-backflow component 600 located at the bottom of the drainage chamber 102 at the bottom of the cabinet 100 can allow water accumulated in the cable trench to backflow into the drainage chamber 102 through the first cable hole 103 at the bottom of the drainage chamber 102, opening the drainage holes 106 on the side wall of the drainage chamber 102 for drainage, preventing water accumulated in the cable trench from backflowing into the cabinet 100 and causing short circuits. The drainage holes 106 are normally blocked and closed by the second baffles 603 located on both sides of the float 601 to prevent dust from entering.
[0050] The operation flow of this invention is as follows: In the initial state, both cabinet doors 108 are closed, the shielding assembly 109 is in the storage state, the first connector 226 on the cable splitting assembly 200 is connected to the second connector 227 but the cable 701 is not connected, the sleeve 203 of the first connector 226 is inserted into the slot 208 at the end of the second insulating sleeve 207 on the second connector 227, the end of the branch connector 204 connected to the first connector 226 is inserted between the two copper contacts 216 in the second connector 227, the two second pressure rollers 222 on the second connector 227 are respectively located in the two first slots 206 on the tip 205 of the first connector 226, the two first pressure rollers 220 of the second connector 227 press against the two second copper strips 215 respectively, and the leaf spring 223 is in a compressed state. The cable clamping assembly 300 is not equipped with cable 701 and is stored in a straight position on the side wall of the cable distribution cavity 101. The distance between the sliding sleeve 327 corresponding to the guide rod 305 fixedly connected to the slide 308 and the corresponding L seat 301 in the cable clamping assembly 300 is smaller than the distance between the sliding sleeve 327 corresponding to the guide rod 305 hinged to the sliding sleeve 327 and the corresponding L seat 301. Both pull ropes 314 are in a taut state. The locking block 325 at the end of the pivot pin 324 is inserted into the second locking groove 322 at the end of the fifth ring sleeve 321. The two first springs 311 are in a compressed state, and the two spiral springs 313 are in a compressed state. The anti-pull assembly 400 is not equipped with cable 701. The two clamping wheels 406 press against each other, and the two third springs 402 are in a compressed state. The two second baffles 603 in the anti-backflow assembly 600 close the drainage holes 106 on the side wall of the drainage cavity 102.
[0051] When cable 701 needs to be installed, first open the shielding assembly 109 with one hand, raise the two first baffles 111 to an angle of 90 degrees, and then the two first baffles 111 will swing down and be positioned under their own weight to form a gable roof rain shelter. Then open the two cabinet doors 108.
[0052] The cable 701 is inserted from the cable trench through the first cable hole 103 of the drainage chamber 102 and the second cable hole 602 on the float 601 into the cable distribution chamber 101. The end of the cable 701 is stripped and inserted into the protective sleeve 209 in the second connector 227. The copper core of the cable 701 comes into contact with the conductive copper block 211. Rotating the first screw sleeve 224 causes the top pressure sleeve 225 to interact with the first conical surface at the end of the clamping block 213, so that the clamping block 213 forms a fixed connection between the cable 701 and the second connector 227.
[0053] When it is necessary to disconnect the first connector 226 and the second connector 227, simply forcefully separate the first connector 226 and the second connector 227. After the first connector 226 and the second connector 227 are disconnected, the distance between the two second pressure rollers 222 is less than the distance between the two first slots 206 on the tip 205. When it is necessary to connect the first connector 226 and the second connector 227, insert the tip 205 of the first connector 226 between the two second pressure rollers 222 and lock the two second pressure rollers 222 into the first slots 206 on the tip 205. The two first pressure rollers 220 press the two copper contacts 216 against the corresponding ends of the branch connectors 204 of the first connector 226 to complete the electrical connection.
[0054] When the cable 701 passes through the first cable hole 103, the two clamping rollers 406 of the anti-pull assembly 400 are pushed apart by both hands, causing the corresponding push rods 403 of the two clamping rollers 406 to retract into the corresponding sleeves 401 and compress the third spring 402. Each push rod 403 drives the two twelfth gears 415 to rotate through the corresponding two first racks 416. The two twelfth gears 415 drive the corresponding clamping rollers 406 to rotate through the corresponding eleventh gear 414, tenth gear 413, ninth gear 412, eighth gear 411, fifth rotating shaft 410, fourth rotating shaft 409, seventh gear 408, sixth gear 407 and wheel axle 405 respectively. The direction of rotation does not hinder the upward movement of the cable 701 through the first cable hole 103. When the end of the cable 701 reaches the second connector 227, the two clamping rollers 406 of the anti-pull assembly 400 are released, and the two clamping rollers 406 clamp the cable 701 under the action of the corresponding third spring 402.
[0055] When maintenance personnel in the cable trench accidentally pull the cable 701, the downward movement of the cable 701 will cause the two clamping wheels 406 to rotate. The two clamping wheels 406 will then drive the two clamping wheels 406 to move towards each other through the wheel axle 405, the sixth gear 407, the seventh gear 408, the fourth rotating shaft 409, the fifth rotating shaft 410, the eighth gear 411, the ninth gear 412, the tenth gear 413, the eleventh gear 414, the twelfth gear 415 and the first rack 416 respectively, thereby further clamping the cable 701 and preventing the cable 701 from moving downward.
[0056] Next, the cable clamping assembly 300 on the side wall of the cable distribution cavity 101 corresponding to the cable 701 is unfolded and the cable 701 is bent and fixed.
[0057] The guide rod 305, hinged to the slide 308, is moved towards the cable splitting assembly 200, while simultaneously pushing the guide rod 305 fixed to the slide 308 upwards, so that the two guide rods 305 ultimately form a 90-degree angle. During the unfolding process, the corresponding winding wheel 312 in the L-shaped seat 301 corresponding to the guide rod 305 fixed to the slide 308 releases the corresponding pull rope 314, and the corresponding locking assembly 326 slides downwards to its limit under the action of the corresponding first spring 311. The locking assembly 326 corresponding to the guide rod 305 hinged to the slide 308 is always located at the limit position at the end of the corresponding guide rod 305, and at this time the distance between the two locking assemblies 326 and the corresponding L-shaped seat 301 is equal.
[0058] Then, the bending radius of the right-angle bend of the cable 701 at the cable clamp assembly 300 is determined according to the bending curvature corresponding to the diameter specification of the cable 701. The larger the diameter of the cable 701, the smaller its bending curvature and the larger its bending radius, so that the cable 701 will not be damaged due to excessive bending.
[0059] By adjusting the distance between the two card holder assemblies 326 and the corresponding L-shaped seat 301, the first torsion wheel 323 is rotated. The first torsion wheel 323 drives the fourth ring sleeve 318 to rotate synchronously. At this time, the one-way ring 317 does not play a role. At the same time, the first torsion wheel 323 drives the two winding wheels 312 to rotate synchronously in the same direction and at the same speed through the card block 325 and the pivot pin 324. At this time, the one-way ring 317 does not play a role. The two winding wheels 312 wind the corresponding pull rope 314 in the same direction and at the same speed. The two card holder assemblies 326 slide towards the corresponding L-shaped seat 301 by a certain distance under the pull of the corresponding pull rope 314. Then, the force on the first torsion wheel 323 is removed, and the pivot pin 324 rotates in the opposite direction under the combined action of the two first springs 311. Because the one-way ring 317 is now in effect, the fourth ring sleeve 318 and the fifth ring sleeve 321 prevent the pivot pin 324 from rotating in the opposite direction, thereby ensuring that the two guide rods 305 can remain perpendicular to each other under the action of external force and that the positions of the two card holder assemblies 326 on the guide rods 305 remain unchanged.
[0060] Then, the cable 701 is pressed into the U-shaped seat 330 of the two seat assemblies 326 in a bent state, and the second torsion wheel 341 in the two seat assemblies 326 is rotated so that the two clamping plates 338 in the two U-shaped seats 330 clamp and fix the cable 701.
[0061] When it is necessary to remove cable 701, rotate the second torsion wheel 341 in the two clamping assemblies 326 to contact the two clamping plates 338 in the U-shaped seat 330 to clamp the cable 701, and then remove cable 701. Then, the first torsion wheel 323 is pulled axially, causing the locking block 325 on the pivot pin 324 to disengage from the second locking groove 322 on the fifth ring sleeve 321. Under the action of the corresponding first spring 311, the two locking assemblies 326 slide to their limit on the guide rod 305 away from the L seat 301. Then, the guide rod 305 hinged to the slide 308 is pushed towards the side wall of the cable distribution cavity 101, and at the same time, the guide rod 305 fixedly connected to the slide 308 is pushed downward, so that the two guide rods 305 are stored in a straight line on the side wall of the cable distribution cavity 101. During the storage process, the guide rod 305 hinged to the slide 308 will drive the two winding wheels 312 on the pivot pin 324 to rotate synchronously through the corresponding L seat 301, and wind the pull rope 314 corresponding to the guide rod 305 fixedly connected to the slide 308, so that the locking assembly 326 corresponding to the guide rod 305 fixedly connected to the slide 308 moves upward by a certain amount. Then, rotate the first torsion wheel 323 so that the second slot 322 on the fifth ring 321 and the locking block 325 on the pivot pin 324 can be inserted one by one.
[0062] A humidity sensor is installed inside the cable distribution cavity 101. When the humidity inside the cable distribution cavity 101 reaches a certain level, the motor 507 starts. The motor 507 drives the ring plate 502 at the corresponding first cable hole 103 to rotate through the second pulley 506, the synchronous belt 505, the first pulley 504, and the sixth ring sleeve 501. The ring plate 502 drives the blade 503 on it to gather the moisture rising from the first cable hole 103 to the middle of the second cable hole 602 on the float plate 601 and push it downward to prevent the moisture from moving upward through the first cable hole 103 into the cable distribution cavity 101.
[0063] When water accumulates in the cable trench and enters the drainage chamber 102 through the first cable insertion hole 103 to a certain height, the float moves upward under the action of buoyancy and drives the two second baffles 603 to open the drainage hole 106. The water that has entered the drainage chamber 102 is discharged through the opened drainage hole 106. The second rack 604 on one side of the upper side of the float 601 is connected by the corresponding thirteenth gear 606, fourteenth gear 607, fifteenth gear 608, seventh shaft 609, sixteenth gear 610, and seventeenth gear. 611, the eighth rotating shaft 612, the seventeenth gear 611, the sixteenth gear 610, the seventh rotating shaft 609, the fifteenth gear 608, the fourteenth gear 607, the thirteenth gear 606, and the second rack 604 drive the other side of the float 601 to move upward synchronously and stretch the fourth spring 613. After the water in the drainage chamber 102 recedes, the float 601 returns to its original position under the action of the fourth spring 613 and drives the two second baffles 603 to close the drainage hole 106 to prevent dust from entering.

10. A method for providing a cable branch box that is easy to maintain, as described in claim 1, characterized in that... The method is as follows: S1. First, open the shielding component with one hand. Then, open the two cabinet doors for installation and connection. After the installation and connection are completed, close and lock the cabinet doors before putting down the shielding component. S2. Insert the cable from the cable trench through the first cable insertion hole in the drainage chamber and the second cable insertion hole on the floating plate into the cable distribution chamber. Strip the insulation from the end of the cable and insert it into the protective sleeve in the second connector. The copper core of the cable contacts the conductive copper block. Rotate the first screw sleeve to cause the top pressure sleeve to interact with the first conical surface at the end of the clamping block, so that the clamping block forms a fixed connection between the cable and the second connector. When the cable passes through the first cable insertion hole, use both hands to pry open the two clamping rollers of the anti-pull assembly. When the end of the cable reaches the second connector, release the two clamping rollers of the anti-pull assembly. The two clamping rollers clamp the cable under the action of the corresponding third spring. When it is necessary to disconnect the first connector and the second connector, forcefully separate the first connector and the second connector. S3. Unfold the cable clamping assembly corresponding to the cable on the side wall of the cable distribution cavity and bend and fix the cable with the corresponding curvature; when it is necessary to remove the cable, take the cable out from the two clamping assemblies and then store the two guide rods of the cable clamping assembly in a straight position on the side wall of the cable distribution cavity. S4. During the use of the branch box, when the internal humidity reaches a certain level, the humidity sensor transmits the signal to the control system. The control system controls the motor to start, and the motor drives the dehumidification component to run. The dehumidification component gathers the moisture rising from the first cable hole to the middle of the second cable hole on the float and pushes it downward to prevent the moisture from moving upward through the first cable hole into the branch cable cavity. S5. During the use of the branch box, when water in the cable trench enters the drainage chamber through the first cable hole to a certain height, the float moves upward under the action of buoyancy and drives the two second baffles to open the drainage hole. The water that has entered the drainage chamber is discharged through the opened drainage hole to prevent water from entering the branch cable chamber and causing a short circuit. After the water in the drainage chamber 102 recedes, the float returns to its original position under the action of the fourth spring and drives the two second baffles to close the drainage hole to prevent dust from entering.
