[0036] like Figure 1 to Figure 5 As shown, the present solution provides a multi-directionally connectable floor valve box, comprising an outer cylinder 1 and an inner cylinder 2 which can be sleeved on each other, a bottom plate 3 is provided at the bottom of the outer cylinder 1, a retaining ring assembly 5 is provided at the bottom of the outer cylinder 1, the retaining ring assembly 5 can limit the top of the inner cylinder 2, and the retaining ring assembly 5 is sealed by a cover plate 4 to form an installation cavity 6 for installing a valve;
[0037] The side wall of the outer cylinder 1 is provided with a plurality of first waist-shaped grooves 101 , and the inner cylinder 2 is provided with a plurality of second waist-shaped grooves 201 . The intersection of the first waist-shaped grooves 101 and the second waist-shaped grooves 201 forms a through hole 7 for the passage of pipes or cables.
[0038] How it works
[0039] In this embodiment, the inner cavity of the outer cylinder constitutes an installation cavity 6 for installing a valve, the bottom end of the inner cylinder 2 is in contact with the surface of the bottom plate 3, and the outer wall of the inner cylinder 2 is close to the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1. By rotating the inner cylinder 2, the intersection range between the second waist-shaped groove 201 and the first waist-shaped groove 101 can be adjusted, that is, the aperture of the through hole 7 can be adjusted through this mechanism to meet the requirements of pipes or cables of different specifications.
[0040] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the retaining ring assembly 5 in this embodiment includes a retaining ring 501 and a limiting ring 502 that are connected to each other, the bottom wall of the retaining ring 501 contacts the top of the outer cylinder 1, and the bottom end of the limiting ring 502 contacts the top of the inner cylinder 2.
[0041] Under this structure, the retaining ring assembly 5 can be installed on the top of the outer cylinder 1 and can limit the inner cylinder 2 longitudinally, thereby effectively preventing the adjusted inner cylinder 2 from rotating freely in the installation cavity and preventing it from changing the aperture of the adjusted through hole 7.
[0042] In addition, a cover plate support ring 503 is provided on the inner wall of the limiting ring 502, and the upper surface of the cover plate support ring 503 and the inner wall of the retaining ring 501 form an embedding groove 8 for accommodating the cover plate 4. Through this structure, the cover plate 4 can be hidden in the embedding groove 8, which not only realizes the sealing of the installation cavity 6, but also does not affect the overall appearance of the base plate valve box.
[0043] As an optimization of this embodiment, the outer diameter of the retaining ring 501 is equal to the outer diameter of the outer cylinder 1, and a plurality of guide grooves 102 are provided on the top wall of the outer cylinder 1, and a guide column 504 matching the guide groove 102 is provided on the bottom wall of the retaining ring 501. By plugging the guide column 504 into the guide groove 102, the retaining ring assembly 5 in this embodiment can be quickly and accurately assembled with the outer cylinder 1.
[0044] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of cover guide grooves 505 are provided on the cover support ring 503 , and correspondingly, cover guide columns 401 corresponding to the cover guide grooves 505 are provided on the bottom wall of the cover 4 , and this structure can promote the rapid closing of the cover 4 .
[0045] It should be noted that, in order to facilitate manual opening of the cover plate 4 in this embodiment, an embedded handle or other device that facilitates the hand to apply external force to the cover plate 4 can be provided on the upper surface of the cover plate 4.
[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the first waist-shaped groove 101 includes a first left arc-shaped wall 103 and a first right arc-shaped wall 104, and the second waist-shaped groove 201 includes a second left arc-shaped wall 202 and a second right arc-shaped wall 203; the through hole 7 can be formed between the first left arc-shaped wall 103 and the second right arc-shaped wall 203, or between the second left arc-shaped wall 202 and the first right arc-shaped wall 104. By fine-tuning the rotation degree of the inner cylinder 2 relative to the outer cylinder 1, the spacing between the first left arc-shaped wall 103 and the second right arc-shaped wall 203, or between the second left arc-shaped wall 202 and the first right arc-shaped wall 103 can be changed, that is, the adjustment of the aperture for the passage of pipes or cables can be achieved.
[0047] As a specific embodiment of the present scheme, the first waist-shaped grooves 101 have several rows, which are arranged around the circumference of the side wall of the outer cylinder 1; the number of rows of the second waist-shaped grooves 201 is the same as that of the first waist-shaped grooves 101, which are arranged around the circumference of the side wall of the inner cylinder 2.
[0048] The first waist-shaped grooves 101 in adjacent rows are arranged at equal intervals, and the second waist-shaped grooves 201 in adjacent rows are arranged at equal intervals. The first waist-shaped grooves 101 or the second waist-shaped grooves 201 in the same row are arranged at equal intervals to provide enough space for vertical arrangement.
[0049] As a specific embodiment of the present solution, the first waist-shaped grooves 101 and the second waist-shaped grooves 201 have 7 columns respectively, and there are 3 first waist-shaped grooves 101 in the same column, and there are 3 second waist-shaped grooves 201 in the same column.
[0050] The above-mentioned limitation on the structure of the column can realize the separate arrangement of the local panel valves for the longitudinally arranged pipes or cables, that is, the longitudinally distributed pipes or cables are respectively passed through the through holes 7 on the same column to realize the installation of the valve in the installation cavity 6.
[0051] The above description is only for illustrating the implementation mode of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, any modification, equivalent substitution, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
