[0033] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this embodiment of the utility model provides a wire box structure, including a first cover 11 and a second cover 12. The first cover 11 and the second cover 12 are connected to form a wire cavity for storing wires. The first cover 11 has multiple slots 112 arranged circumferentially. The slots 112 can be evenly spaced or non-uniformly spaced. The second cover 12 has multiple buckles 1212 arranged circumferentially to engage with the slots 112. A sealing element 13 is provided at the connection between the first cover 11 and the second cover 12. The sealing element 13 can be made of rubber or other materials with good elasticity and weather resistance. The buckles 1212 engage with the slots 112 to connect the first cover 11 and the second cover 12, while the sealing element 13 is compressed, thus ensuring the seal at the connection.
[0034] By setting slots 112 and buckles 1212 on the first cover 11 and the second cover 12 respectively, the first cover 11 and the second cover 12 can be quickly connected through the cooperation of the slots 112 and the buckles 1212, which improves the ease of installation. At the same time, the sealing element 13 set at the connection point greatly improves the waterproof capability of the junction box structure 1.
[0035] In one embodiment, the positions of the slot 112 and the buckle 1212 can be interchanged, that is, the buckle 1212 is provided on the first cover 11 and the slot 112 is provided on the second cover 12.
[0036] In one embodiment, the first cover 11 extends toward the second cover 12 and is provided with an annular portion 111, and the outer side of the annular portion 111 is provided with a slot 112.
[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, a ring-shaped portion 111 extends from the inner side of the first cover 11. The ring-shaped portion 111 is integrally formed during the manufacturing process to ensure the overall structural strength and stability of the first cover 11.
[0038] The outer surface of the annular portion 111 is evenly provided with a plurality of slots 112. The slots 112 do not extend through the annular portion 111 in their depth direction. The number and distribution of these slots 112 are designed according to actual needs. The depth and width of each slot 112 should match the buckle 1212 of the second cover 12 so that the buckle 1212 can be smoothly engaged and firmly fixed.
[0039] By providing a slot 112 on the outer side of the annular portion 111 extending from the first cover 11 to the second cover 12, and cooperating with the buckle 1212 design of the second cover 12, a quick and stable connection between the two can be achieved.
[0040] In one embodiment, a limiting portion 113 extends circumferentially from one side of the slot 112, dividing the slot 112 into an insertion port 1121 and a limiting port 1122, which are connected. The design of the limiting portion 113 effectively prevents the buckle 1212 from disengaging from the slot 112 when subjected to external force in the wrong direction, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection.
[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, the opening of the slot 112 is flush with the top of the annular portion 111, and the upper side of the limiting portion 113 is also flush with the top of the annular portion 111. The lower side of the limiting portion 113 and the bottom surface of the slot 112 together form a limiting opening 1122. The opening of the slot 112 is partially blocked by the limiting portion 113, and the unblocked portion constitutes the insertion port 1121. The width of the insertion port 1121 is at least equal to or greater than the width of the buckle 1212, and the height of the limiting opening 1122 is at least equal to or greater than the height of the buckle 1212. This design ensures that the buckle 1212 can smoothly enter from the insertion port 1121 and be limited in the limiting opening 1122 after rotating to a certain angle in the circumferential direction.
[0042] In one embodiment, the second cover 12 extends toward the first cover 11 and is provided with an annular wall 121, and the inner wall surface of the annular wall 121 is provided with a buckle 1212.
[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the annular wall 121 is a ring-shaped structure from one side edge of the second cover 12. Its function is to cooperate with the annular part 111 of the first cover 11 to achieve a stable connection. The setting position of the buckle 1212 should correspond to the setting position of the slot 112.
[0044] In one embodiment, the first cover 11 has an annular groove 117 at the bottom position near the annular portion 111, and the sealing member 13 is installed in the annular groove 117. The sealing member 13 has a ring-shaped structure and its cross-section is circular.
[0045] The design of the annular groove 117 and the seal 13 can effectively improve the sealing and waterproof performance of the entire device and prevent the internal components of the wire cavity from being affected by the external environment.
[0046] In one embodiment, a fastening hole 1211 is provided through the annular wall 121. A stop 114 is provided on the first cover 11 corresponding to the position of the fastening hole 1211. A tightening member 18 is connected in the fastening hole 1211, and the inner end of the tightening member 18 abuts against the stop 114. This design ensures that the stability of the connection is further improved after the first cover 11 and the second cover 12 are snapped together.
[0047] like Figure 3As shown, the fastening hole 1211 is a threaded hole, located circumferentially on the annular wall 121 and penetrating the annular wall 121. There can be one or more fastening holes 1211. The stop block 114 is a protruding component, its height designed to ensure it can abut against the inner end of the clamping member 18. The clamping member 18 is a screw structure, and its inner end is flat, ensuring effective abutment against the stop block 114.
[0048] like Figures 3 to 4 As shown, in order to improve the sealing performance at the fastening hole 1211, a gasket 19 is provided at the outer end of the fastening hole 1211. The gasket 19 is made of elastic material such as rubber. During installation, the gasket 19 is put on the tightening member 18 and then the tightening member 18 is tightened, so that the gasket 19 is compressed, thereby forming a good sealing performance.
[0049] To facilitate operation of the clamping member 18, locking and unlocking indicators are provided near the fastening hole 1211. These indicators are designed to help operators quickly identify the status of the clamping member 18, ensuring that the device remains secure or can be quickly adjusted during use. The indicators can be in the form of a lock-like open or closed pattern. Tightening the clamping member 18 in the direction of the lock-open pattern indicates that the clamping member 18 can be loosened, while tightening the clamping member 18 in the direction of the lock-close pattern indicates that the clamping member 18 can be tightened.
[0050] In one embodiment, the first cover 11 has a central hole 115, and a sealing member 14 is provided in the central hole 115. The sealing member 14 has a wire hole.
[0051] Specifically, the central hole 115 is located at the center of the first cover 11. The size of the central hole 115 can be adjusted appropriately according to actual needs to accommodate the sealing component 14. The sealing component 14 is a cylindrical structure with a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the central hole 115. The material of the sealing component 14 is wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant rubber or silicone to ensure its stability in long-term use. The wire passage hole is opened at the center of the sealing component 14 to ensure that the wire can pass through smoothly. The size of the wire passage hole can be adjusted appropriately according to the different specifications of the wire.
[0052] By opening a central hole 115 on the first cover 11 and setting a sealing member 14 in the central hole 115, and opening a wire passage hole on the sealing member 14, the wire can pass through stably, while ensuring the sealing performance of the wire box. This can effectively prevent dust, moisture and other pollutants in the external environment from entering the wire cavity and protect the normal operation of the components inside the wire cavity.
[0053] In one embodiment, the second cover 12 is provided with a first interface 123 and a second interface 122. The first interface 123 is used to connect the PG head 16, and the second interface 122 is used to connect the tube cover 15.
[0054] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the first interface 123 is located on the annular wall 121 of the second cover 12 and has internal threads. The first interface 123 is used to connect the PG head 16 to ensure a reliable connection with external equipment or wires. The second interface 122 is located on the top of the second cover 12 and has internal threads. The second interface 122 is used to connect the pipe cap 15 to ensure a tight seal.
[0055] It should be noted that PG connector 16 refers to a cable connector used to introduce cables or wires into equipment, while providing sealing and securing functions. Cover 15 can cover a notch in the junction box, which can serve as a window for easy viewing or maintenance of the internal components of the cavity.
[0056] Of course, both the first interface 123 and the second interface 122 can be equipped with PG heads. Generally, one of the first interface 123 and the second interface 122 is equipped with a PG head 16, and the other is equipped with a tube cover 15.
[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, the junction box structure 1 also includes a connecting rope 17, one end of which is connected to the first cover 11, and the other end of which is connected to the second cover 12. The connecting rope 17 can be used to prevent accidental detachment during installation.
[0058] The connecting rope 17 is made of nylon braided rope or stainless steel wire rope, which has good flexibility and strength, ensuring that it will not easily break during use. The connecting rope 17 is fixed to the first cover 11 and the second cover 12 by screws or rivets. The design of the connection point should ensure the connection is firm, while facilitating disassembly and maintenance.
[0059] The length of the connecting rope 17 can be designed according to the actual situation, but it must be ensured that the connecting rope 17 still has a certain degree of slack when the first cover 11 and the second cover 12 are fully opened, so as not to affect the operation.
[0060] Fixing holes with a diameter of 3mm are provided inside the first cover 11 and the second cover 12. One end of the connecting rope 17 is passed through the fixing hole of the first cover 11 and fixed with a rivet with a diameter of 4mm. The other end is passed through the fixing hole of the second cover 12 and fixed with a rivet of the same specification.
[0061] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model embodiment also provides a camera, including a camera body 2 and the above-mentioned cable box structure 1, wherein the camera body 2 is fixedly connected to the first cover 11.
[0062] In one embodiment, the side of the first cover 11 where the camera body 2 is mounted is provided with a mounting hole 116, which corresponds to the fixing hole of the camera body 2. The camera body 2 is fixed on the first cover 11 by screws or bolts to ensure the stable installation of the camera.
[0063] Apart from the aforementioned junction box structure 1, the rest of the camera's structure is the same as that in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.
[0064] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
