[0023] Refer to Figures 1 to 6, a fire hydrant blanking cap, comprising a housing 100. The housing 100 includes an installation cavity 110. A protection box 200 is installed in the installation cavity 110. A battery, a circuit board and electrodes are installed in the protection box 200. The protection box 200 includes a first sealing box 210 with an opening, a second sealing box 220 and a third sealing box 230. A sealing cover 240 is provided at the opening of the first sealing box 210. A second sealing groove 211 is provided at the opening of the first sealing box 210. A second sealing ring 212 is embedded in the second sealing groove 211. The sealing cover 240 is inserted into the opening of the first sealing box 210. The sealing cover 240 presses the second sealing ring 212 and contacts the second sealing groove 211. The first sealing box 210 and the sealing cover 240 form a first chamber 201. A third sealing groove 221 is provided at the opening of the second sealing box 220. A third sealing ring 222 is embedded in the third sealing groove 221. A first insertion ring 213 is provided at the bottom of the first sealing box 210 and is inserted into the opening of the second sealing box 220. The first insertion ring 213 presses the third sealing ring 222 and contacts the third sealing groove 221. The second sealing box 220 and the bottom of the first sealing box 210 form a second chamber 202. A fourth sealing groove 231 is provided at the opening of the third sealing box 230. A fourth sealing ring 232 is embedded in the fourth sealing groove 231. A second insertion ring 223 is provided at the bottom of the second sealing box 220 and is inserted into the opening of the third sealing box 230. The second insertion ring 223 presses the fourth sealing ring 232 and contacts the fourth sealing groove 231. The third sealing box 230 and the bottom of the second sealing box 220 form a third chamber 203. A battery is installed in the first chamber 201, a circuit board is installed in the second chamber 202, and electrodes are installed in the third chamber 203. At the same time, wire passing holes 204 are provided at the bottom of the first sealing box 210 and the bottom of the second airtight box. The battery is electrically connected to the circuit board through a wire passing through the wire passing hole 204 of the first sealing box 210. The circuit board is connected to the electrodes through a wire passing through the wire passing hole 204 of the second sealing box 220.

[0024] The second sealing ring 212 is pressed to seal the connection between the opening of the first sealing box 210 and the sealing cover 240, thereby preventing water from entering the first chamber 201 and affecting the battery. The third sealing ring 222 is pressed to seal the connection between the second sealing box 220 and the first sealing box 210, thereby preventing water from entering the second chamber 202 and affecting the circuit board. The fourth sealing ring 232 is pressed to seal the connection groove between the third sealing box 230 and the second sealing box 220, thereby preventing water from entering the third chamber 203 and affecting the electrodes.

[0025] A structural ring 120 extending outward from the bottom of the installation cavity 110 is provided inside the installation cavity 110. A support ring 300 is fixed to the outer wall of the third sealing box 230. The support ring 300 and the structural ring 120 are fixed by fasteners 310, so that the protection box 200 is fixed to the housing 100. At this time, the first sealing box 210 and the second sealing box 220 are embedded in the structural ring 120, and a part of the third sealing box 230 is embedded in the structural ring 120. A first sealing groove 121 is provided on the structural ring 120, and a first sealing ring 122 is embedded in the first sealing groove 121. Through the first sealing ring 122, the connection between the structural ring 120 and the support ring 300 can be sealed. At the same time, the first sealing ring 122, the second sealing ring 212, the third sealing ring 222, and the fourth sealing ring 232 form a double sealing effect, further preventing water from entering the inside of the protection box 200.

[0026] A limit groove 130 is installed at the bottom of the installation cavity 110, and a spring 131 is installed in the limit groove 130. The sealing cover 240 is provided with a recessed portion recessed in the direction of the first sealing box 210, and the spring 131 extends into the recessed portion and abuts against the sealing cover 240. When the protection box 200 extends to the bottom of the installation cavity 110, the spring 131 will squeeze the protection box 200, so that the first sealing box 210, the second sealing box 220, and the third sealing box 230 are squeezed against each other, ensuring the stability of their connection. At the same time, the second sealing ring 212, the third sealing ring 222, and the fourth sealing ring 232 are subjected to increased extrusion and greater deformation, thereby enhancing the sealing performance of the first chamber 201, the second chamber 202, and the third chamber 203.

[0027] One end of the third sealing box 230 facing the opening of the installation cavity 110 is provided with an extension end, and an extension hole is provided at the end of the extension section. A part of the electrode extends out of the installation hole, and at the same time, the injection hole is sealed with epoxy resin on the extension hole.

[0028] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions within the idea of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and retouches should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
