[0031] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] like Figure 1-8The diagram shows a contactor soundproof box as described in this embodiment. This soundproof box is fixed inside the elevator control cabinet, and the contactor is installed inside the soundproof box. The soundproof box includes a base box 1 and a top box 2. Both the base box 1 and the top box 2 are square box structures. The base box 1 has an open end, allowing free entry and exit. Each inner wall surface of the base box 1 (i.e., four side walls and one bottom wall) is covered with a first sound-absorbing layer 11. The base box 1 also has a mounting outer wall surface 12. This mounting outer wall surface is formed on the outer side of the bottom wall. Mounting holes 121 are machined on the mounting outer wall surface 12, through which the base box 1 can be fixed inside the control cabinet using bolt assemblies. A shock-absorbing pad 13 is also covered on the mounting outer wall surface 12. The shock-absorbing pad 13 is a rubber component. During assembly, the shock-absorbing pad 13 is sandwiched between the base box 1 and the control cabinet to buffer and absorb vibrations in the base box 1. The top box 2 has an open end through which it can freely enter and exit. Each inner wall surface of the top box 2 (i.e., the four side walls and one bottom wall) is covered with a second sound-absorbing layer 21. Both the first sound-absorbing layer 11 and the second sound-absorbing layer 21 are made of existing sound-absorbing cotton. Through this structural design, the first sound-absorbing layer 11 and the second sound-absorbing layer 21 can absorb internal noise from the bottom box 1 and the top box 2.

[0033] The outer wall surface 12 of the assembly is provided with perforations 122. The perforations 122 penetrate the side wall of the base box 1 and the corresponding first sound-absorbing layer 11. The aforementioned shock-absorbing pad 13 covers the outer wall surface 12 of the assembly, and the shock-absorbing pad 13 has clearance holes corresponding to the assembly holes 121 and perforations 122. The arc extinguisher is installed and fixed using screws through these perforations 122.

[0034] The aforementioned bottom box 1 and top box 2 are arranged in an assembly state where their open ends are joined together. In this assembly state, the bottom box 1 and top box 2 cooperate to form a soundproof box. Furthermore, in this assembly state, a wire-passing gap is formed between at least one set of sidewalls on the same side of the bottom box 1 and top box 2. The contactor cable can enter and exit the soundproof box through this wire-passing gap. A first sound-absorbing cotton 31 is accommodated within the wire-passing gap. The first sound-absorbing cotton 31 seals the wire-passing gap. The first sound-absorbing cotton 31 has high elasticity and a designed flame-retardant rating. When the cable is inserted into the wire-passing gap, the cable can be pre-cut, and the cable is inserted at the cut position of the first sound-absorbing cotton 31, so that the cable is wrapped by the first sound-absorbing cotton 31 to prevent noise from being transmitted through the wire-passing gap.

[0035] Specifically, two sets of the aforementioned threading gaps are arranged between the left and right side walls of the bottom box 1 and the top box 2. In the specific structural design, recessed spaces 3 are formed on the edges of the open ends of the bottom box 1 and the top box 2. These recessed spaces 3 extend along the edges of the top box 2 and the bottom box 1. The first sound-absorbing cotton 31 is a long strip structure, which is pasted and fixed in the recessed space 3 on the bottom box 1 or the recessed space 3 on the top box 2. In the aforementioned combined state, the recessed spaces 3 on the bottom box 1 and the top box 2 combine to form the threading gap, and the first sound-absorbing cotton 31 is inserted from the recessed space 3 on one side into the recessed space 3 on the other side to seal the threading gap.

[0036] A second sound-absorbing cotton 9 is arranged on the open end face of the top box 2 and / or the open end face of the bottom box 1. In this assembled state, the second sound-absorbing cotton 9 seals between the bottom box 1 and the top box 2 to block the gap between the top box 2 and the bottom box 1, thereby preventing internal noise from being transmitted outward. It should be noted that when the bottom box 1 and the top box 2 are fully assembled, the second sound-absorbing cotton 9 will be almost completely compressed into a flat shape.

[0037] In this embodiment, a locking assembly is provided between the bottom box 1 and the top box 2 to lock and fix them together in the assembled state. The locking assembly includes a first component and a second component, located on the left and right sides of the soundproof box. The first component includes a connector 5 and a mating connector 4. The connector 5 is fixedly mounted on one of the bottom box 1 and the top box 2, while the mating connector 4 is fixedly mounted on the other. The mating connector 4 has left-right extending slots 41. When the bottom box 1 and the top box 2 are in the assembled state, the connector 5 and the slots 41 are engaged along a first direction to restrict the vertical movement of the bottom box 1 and the top box 2. This first direction is the left-right direction, which is the length or width direction of the bottom box 1 and the top box 2. The second component includes a first locking plate 6, a second locking plate 7, and fasteners. Of the bottom box 1 and the top box 2, a first locking plate 6 is fixedly installed on one, and a second locking plate 7 is fixedly installed on the other. When the top box 2 and the bottom box 1 are in the aforementioned combined state, the fastener has a locked state in which it passes through the first locking plate 6 and the second locking plate 7 and locks them together, and a unlocked state in which the first locking plate 6 and the second locking plate 7 can move relative to each other. The fastener can be a bolt assembly, with through holes machined on the corresponding first locking plate 6 and the second locking plate 7 for the bolt assembly to pass through. The fastener can also be a screw, with through holes machined on the corresponding first locking plate 6 for the screw to pass through, and threaded holes machined on the second locking plate 7 for threaded connection with the screw. Through the above structural design, the plug-in piece 5 is inserted into the socket 41 on the plug-in mating piece 4, and the first locking plate 6 and the second locking plate 7 are locked by the fastener, so as to realize the mutual combination and fixation of the top box 2 and the bottom box 1. The whole assembly and disassembly are convenient, time-saving, labor-saving, and highly practical.

[0038] The base box 1 contains a mounting rail 8 for assembling contactors. The two ends of the mounting rail 8 are fixedly connected to the opposite side walls of the base box 1 via connectors, and the mounting rail 8 is located away from the first sound-absorbing layer 11 on the bottom surface of the base box 1. Each contactor is mounted on the mounting rail 8 to mitigate the vibration and impact of contactor engagement and disengagement.

[0039] During assembly, the shock-absorbing pads 13 on the base box 1 are abutted against the mounting plate of the control cabinet and then secured with bolts. Each contactor is fixed inside the base box 1 via the guide rails 8, with the contactor cables passing through the cable guide gap. The open end of the top box 2 is aligned with the open end of the base box 1, and the top box 2 and base box 1 are pushed to move left and right relative to each other, allowing the connector 5 to insert into the socket 41 of the connector 4. Then, the first locking plate 6 and the second locking plate 7 are locked with fasteners, while the remaining space in the cable guide gap is filled with the first sound-absorbing cotton 31. Through this combination, the top box 2 and the base box 1 are assembled to form a silent box. The contactors are arranged within the enclosed space inside the silent box. By arranging a first sound-absorbing layer 11 inside the bottom box 1 and a second sound-absorbing layer 21 on the inner wall of the top box 2, the noise of the contactor installed in the soundproof box can be reduced, and the noise at the moment of the AC contactor's engagement and release can be reduced by more than 15dB. By accommodating a first sound-absorbing cotton 31 in the wire threading gap, the contactor's cable enters and exits the soundproof box through the wire threading gap, and the cable can be wrapped by the first sound-absorbing cotton 31 to effectively prevent noise transmission and effectively meet the usage requirements of the elevator control cabinet.
