Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of power boxes, and in particular relates to a power box with a compensating sealing structure. Background Art
[0002] The power box, also known as the distribution box or distribution cabinet, is an indispensable device in the power system. It is mainly used to collect and distribute electric energy and realize the control, protection and measurement of the circuit. The power box is usually composed of a box, a circuit breaker, a busbar system, a switch element, an electric energy metering device, a grounding and protection device, an auxiliary element and other components. It is widely used in residential areas, commercial buildings, industrial facilities, public facilities and other fields to ensure the safe, stable and efficient operation of the power system. The traditional power box design is mainly to meet the basic electrical functions, but there are some disadvantages in terms of installation convenience. First of all, the box structure of the traditional power box is often relatively fixed and lacks flexibility, resulting in poor adaptability in specific installation environments. For example, in the face of narrow space, complex terrain, special installation height and other situations, the traditional power box may bring great difficulties to the installation work due to its large size, fixed shape and single installation method. Installers often need to use special tools and perform a lot of cutting, welding and other operations, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but may also damage the structure of the power box and affect its long-term stable operation.
[0003] Secondly, the ability of traditional power boxes to cope with changes in the installation environment, equipment upgrades, and capacity expansion is relatively limited. Once changes are required, the box often needs to be redesigned and customized, resulting in a waste of resources. Thirdly, traditional power boxes are insufficient in coping with the impact of environmental factors. After long-term outdoor use or in harsh environments, the outer shell of the power box is prone to rust and deformation, resulting in a decrease in the protection level and affecting the normal operation of the internal electrical components. At the same time, the reduction in sealing performance makes it easier for harmful substances such as moisture and dust to invade the box, increasing the risk of electrical failure.

[0034] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the implementation mode of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the implementation mode of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the implementation mode of the present invention.
[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, it is a first embodiment of a power box of a compensating sealing structure provided by the utility model. In this embodiment, it includes a box body 10 and a box door 20, wherein the box body 10 and the box door 20 are connected by a hinge, and a groove is provided at the inner edge of the door frame of the box body 10, and a compensation component 30 is provided at the joint of the box body 10 and the box door 20. The compensation component 30 includes a sealing ring 31, a bellows 32, and an expansion joint 33. The sealing ring 31 is embedded in the box body 10 and matches the groove. The sealing ring 31 and the box door 20 form a line seal. The bellows 32 and the expansion joint 33 are arranged along the length direction of the joint of the box body 10 and the box door 20, and the two ends are fixed to the box body 10 and the box door 20 respectively;
[0036] A guide structure is provided at the joint between the box body 10 and the box door 20 , and the guide structure is used to guide the compensation component 30 to contact the joint surface between the box door 20 and the joint surface.
[0037] "Compensated" means that the seal structure has the following two key properties:
[0038] Scalability or deformation ability: This structure includes components such as elastic sealing rings, expansion joints, and bellows, which have certain elasticity and expansion and contraction deformation capabilities. For example, the elastic sealing ring can adapt to small changes in the joint surface through the elastic deformation of the material itself; the expansion joint compensates for deformation through the axial expansion and contraction of the internal tubular segment and the radial sealing ring; the bellows uses its corrugated folds to achieve axial and radial expansion and contraction to adapt to the deformation of the box in a larger range or complex directions. These expandable components can self-adjust when the box is slightly deformed, ensuring that they always maintain close contact with the door or joint surface to maintain the sealing effect.
[0039] Compensation: The purpose of this sealing structure design is to "compensate" for the slight deformation that may occur in the box, so as to overcome the sealing failure problem that may occur in the traditional fixed sealing structure when dealing with deformation. By adopting the above-mentioned retractable elements, even if the box undergoes slight changes due to factors such as thermal expansion and contraction, mechanical vibration, long-term load-bearing, material aging, etc., the compensating sealing structure can adjust in real time to adapt to these changes by deforming or expanding itself, maintaining sealing contact with the joint surface of the box or the door, and effectively preventing the degradation of sealing performance.
[0040] Among them, in the above technical solution, the bellows and the expansion joint are arranged in series and at intervals, and sealing rings are arranged on both sides of the bellows and the expansion joint.

Specifically, the wall thickness of the tubular segment close to the fixed end of the telescopic joint 33 is thinner, and the wall thickness increases as it extends away from the fixed end toward the free end.
[0044] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the bellows 32, the telescopic joint 33 and the box body 10 are connected by snaps. Specifically, the box body 10 is provided with a bayonet, and the bellows 32 and the telescopic joint 33 are correspondingly provided with a snap structure, and the snap structure includes a hook-shaped tenon and an elastic snap.
[0045] When in use, a corresponding buckle structure is designed on the box body, door or sealing component, such as a hook-shaped buckle, elastic buckle, etc. When installing, align the buckle part of the sealing component with the bayonet on the box body or door, and firmly buckle it by pressing, rotating or pushing and pulling to form a stable connection.

The box body 10 and the box door 20 are provided with guide pins and positioning holes that cooperate with each other, and the guide roller is installed on the side of the box door 20.

The compensation component 30 includes a sealing ring 31, a bellows 32, and an expansion joint 33. The sealing ring 31 is embedded in the box body 10 and matches the groove. The sealing ring 31 and the box door 20 form a line seal. The bellows 32 and the expansion joint 33 are arranged along the length direction of the joint of the box body 10 and the box door 20, and the two ends are fixed to the box body 10 and the box door 20 respectively;

[0057] When in use, pre-fabricate threaded holes or mounting holes on the box body, door or sealing assembly, and use screws, nuts and other fasteners to fix the sealing assembly at the joint between the box body and the door. For the elastic sealing ring, auxiliary parts such as pressure rings and flanges may need to be used in conjunction to ensure that the sealing ring is subjected to uniform pressure when tightening the screws to form a reliable seal.
[0058] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the guide structure includes a guide groove, a guide key, a guide pin and a guide roller.
