The tightening action of the fastening device 13 causes the sealing ring 15 to be deformed and form a sealed state with the fairlead hole 21. In this embodiment, four fastening devices 13 are preferably provided on the weatherproof and weathertight cover body 11, and the four fastening devices 13 are spaced apart in the circumference of the weatherproof and weathertight cover body 11, and the weatherproof and weathertight cover is fastened in stages, so that the sealing devices of each part of the weatherproof and weathertight cover structure in the circumferential direction can achieve sealing of the fairlead hole 21.
[0039] At the same time, in this embodiment, the weatherproof cover body 11 is configured to be hinged to the fairlead hole 21, making it easy for the staff to open and close the weatherproof cover when in use. Preferably, two hinge devices 12 are provided for connection, making the connection between the weatherproof cover body 11 and the fairlead hole 21 more convenient and tight, and the connection point is also relatively strong and not prone to damage. Since the fairlead hole 21 in this embodiment has a waist-shaped cross-section, the hinge device 12 is preferably installed on a longer side of the fairlead hole 21. Since the fairlead hole 21 also has some structures such as reinforcing ribs 17, the hinge device 12 needs to be arranged to avoid the corresponding reinforcing ribs 17 and the position is set according to actual conditions.
[0040] Optionally, the fastening device 13 includes a butterfly nut 132, the side wall of the fairlead hole 21 is provided with a mounting platform, the bolt 131 passes through the weatherproof and waterproof cover body 11 and is fixed on the mounting platform, and the butterfly nut 132 is arranged above the weatherproof and waterproof cover body 11 and is threadedly engaged with the bolt 131.

A mounting platform 22 is provided on the outer wall of the fairlead hole 21, and the mounting platform 22 is arranged to be parallel to the weatherproof and tight cover body 11. The bolt 131 is fixed on the mounting platform 22, passes through the edge of the weatherproof and tight cover body 11, and the part extending out of the weatherproof and tight cover body 11 is spirally connected with the butterfly nut 132. In this embodiment, a butterfly nut 132 is used for tightening and fixing. This structure is more convenient for manual operation, and the opening and closing of the weatherproof and tight cover 10 are easier to operate.
[0042] Optionally, an annular groove 16 is provided on one side of the weathertight cover body 11 close to the fairlead hole 21 , and the sealing ring 15 is installed in the annular groove 16 , and the sealing ring 15 is interference fit with the annular groove 16 .
[0043] In this embodiment, an annular groove 16 is provided on the weathertight cover body 11, and the sealing ring 15 is accommodated by the annular groove 16, so that the sealing ring 15 is not easy to fall off. Preferably, the sealing ring 15 is made of chloroprene rubber, and the sealing ring 15 and the annular groove 16 are interference fit. The edge of the fairlead hole 21 is located between the annular groove 16 and abuts against the sealing ring 15. Under the tightening action of the butterfly nut 132, the sealing ring 15 seals the fairlead hole 21.
[0044] like Figure 3 The figure shows a partial enlarged view of the position of the sealing ring 15 in this embodiment, wherein the depth of the annular groove 16 is slightly greater than the height of the sealing ring 15, so that the annular groove 16 is slightly higher than the sealing ring 15. When the fairlead hole 21 contacts the weathertight cover, the edge of the fairlead hole 21 is located between the structure of the annular groove 16, and the annular groove 16 can define a certain position with the fairlead hole 21. In addition, during the process of sealing the fairlead hole 21 by extrusion, the sealing ring 15 remains in the annular groove 16, maintaining the sealing effect of the sealing ring 15, and the sealing ring 15 is not easily squeezed out or falls off from the annular groove 16. In addition, the annular groove 16 in this embodiment is welded to the weathertight cover body 11 by cross-intermittent welding, and the weld feet are arranged on the outside of the annular groove 16 so that it will not affect the installation of the sealing ring 15 inside the annular groove 16.
