Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to cable branch boxes, specifically to outdoor cable branch boxes. Background Technology
[0002] The main function of a cable distribution box is to branch a main cable into multiple branch cables, thereby enabling power supply to multiple directions or multiple users. For example, in an urban power distribution network, the main cable from the substation can supply power to different residential areas, commercial areas, or industrial areas through a cable distribution box, meeting the power needs of different areas.
[0003] Cable distribution boxes typically use current and other monitoring methods to intelligently control the circuit during use. However, due to environmental variability and the increasing usage time, relying solely on monitoring to maintain the normal operation of cable distribution boxes is limited, often leading to situations where maintenance is required.
[0004] Because circuit breakers need to be automatically disconnected frequently to protect the circuit during use, they are also very easy to be damaged, especially in environments such as thunderstorms. Therefore, circuit breakers are the most frequently repaired or replaced electrical components during operation and maintenance. However, existing circuit breakers are generally fixed in the box, and their circuits are connected by power cords. When replacing or repairing them, it is necessary to disassemble the power cord and the circuit breaker, which seriously affects the efficiency of operation and maintenance. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of existing technologies such as circuit breakers and other fixed installation structures, which result in low operation and maintenance efficiency, this utility model provides an outdoor cable branch box.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:
[0007] The outdoor cable distribution box includes a box body. Inside the box, a main switch, a branch controller, and circuit breakers are arranged in sequence, all electrically connected. The branch controller has several output terminals, and there are several circuit breakers, each corresponding to one of the output terminals of the branch controller. A spring pin connects the two circuit breakers. The box contains two vertical rail frames. The top of each rail frame has a horizontal limiting plate with through holes. A mounting plate slides vertically along the rail frame, and the circuit breakers slide vertically on the mounting plate. A first limiting device limits the mounting plate's movement between the mounting plate and the limiting plate, and a second limiting device limits the circuit breakers' movement between the circuit breakers and the mounting plate. This design uses a double-sliding structure for the circuit breakers, combined with a spring pin connection. During installation, the circuit breakers are placed on the mounting plate, and then the mounting plate is pushed up to complete the installation. For disassembly, if complete disassembly is required, the mounting plate is pushed up and the first limiting device is released; if disassembly of a single circuit breaker is required, the single circuit breaker is pushed up and the second limiting device is released. This significantly improves disassembly and installation efficiency, enhancing maintenance efficiency.
[0008] Preferably, the through hole is located directly below the output terminal of the branch controller, and the spring pin passes through the through hole with both ends of the spring pin electrically connected to the output terminals of the circuit breaker and the branch controller.
[0009] Preferably, both the output terminal of the branch controller and the input terminal of the circuit breaker are provided with sockets for inserting spring pins.
[0010] Preferably, the spring needle is made of conductive material and includes an outer needle body and an inner needle body. The outer needle body is provided with a sliding groove, and one end of the inner needle body is slidably disposed in the sliding groove and a spring is disposed in the sliding groove. The other end of the outer needle body is located outside the sliding groove.
[0011] Preferably, the circuit breaker and the branch controller are electrically connected via two spring pins; the metal at both ends of the spring pins is for conduction, and an insulating coating is provided in the middle of their sidewalls. After installation, the two ends of the spring pins are located inside, while the exposed middle end is provided with an insulating coating to prevent leakage.
[0012] Preferably, the circuit breaker output is equipped with a power supply line, on which a Rogowski coil current transformer connected to the branch controller is mounted. This coil is used to detect the circuit, and when an abnormal current occurs in the circuit, the branch controller cuts off the power supply.
[0013] Preferably, the track frame has a flat-bottomed U-shaped structure with its edges extending to both sides to form two edges. The back of the mounting plate is provided with a T-shaped groove, and the two edges are located in the T-shaped groove so that the mounting plate can slide vertically along the track frame.
[0014] Preferably, the mounting plate has an inverted T-shaped groove on the front, and the circuit breaker has a slider that matches the shape of the inverted T-shaped groove. The circuit breaker slides vertically by the cooperation of the slider and the inverted T-shaped groove.
[0015] Preferably, the first limiting structure includes a first hanging ring disposed at the edge of the through hole and a first hook disposed on the top of the mounting plate. The first hook is a flexible metal hook, and the first hook is hung on the first hanging ring to vertically limit the mounting plate.
[0016] Preferably, the second limiting structure includes a second hook that is elastic and disposed on the circuit breaker and a second hanging ring disposed on the mounting plate, wherein the second hook is hung on the second hanging ring to vertically limit the circuit breaker.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: This utility model sets the circuit breaker as a double sliding structure and uses a spring pin connection structure. During installation, the circuit breaker is placed on the mounting plate, and then the mounting plate is pushed up to complete the installation. During disassembly, if all circuit breakers need to be disassembled, the mounting plate is pushed up and the first limiting device is released. If a single circuit breaker needs to be disassembled, the single circuit breaker is pushed up and the second limiting device is released. The efficiency of disassembly and installation is greatly improved, thus improving the efficiency of operation and maintenance. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Example:
[0027] The photovoltaic grid-connected box with fire protection function in this embodiment, such as Figure 1-5As shown, the device includes a housing 01. Inside the housing 01, a main switch 02, a branch controller 04, and a circuit breaker 03 are arranged in sequence and electrically connected. The branch controller 04 has several output terminals, and the circuit breaker 03 has several terminals, each corresponding to one of the output terminals of the branch controller 04. The circuit between the two terminals is connected by a spring pin 05. Inside the housing 01, there are two vertical track frames 011. The top of the track frame 011 is provided with a horizontal limiting plate 012 with a through hole. A mounting plate is vertically slidably mounted on the track frame 011. The circuit breaker 03 is vertically slidably mounted on the mounting plate. A first limiting device for limiting the mounting plate is provided between the mounting plate and the limiting plate 012. A second limiting device for limiting the circuit breaker 03 is provided between the circuit breaker 03 and the mounting plate. This solution sets the circuit breaker 03 as a double sliding structure and uses a spring pin 05 for connection. During installation, the circuit breaker 03 is placed on the mounting plate, and then the mounting plate is pushed up to complete the installation. During disassembly, if all circuit breakers need to be disassembled, the mounting plate is pushed up and the first limit device is released. If a single circuit breaker 03 needs to be disassembled, the single circuit breaker 03 is pushed up and the second limit device is released. The efficiency of disassembly and installation is greatly improved, thus improving the efficiency of operation and maintenance.
[0028] Preferably, the through hole is located directly below the output terminal of the branch controller 04, and the spring pin 05 passes through the through hole and the two ends of the spring pin 05 are electrically connected to the output terminals of the circuit breaker 03 and the branch controller 04.
[0029] Preferably, the output terminal of the branch controller 04 and the input terminal of the circuit breaker 03 are both provided with a socket for inserting a spring pin 05.
[0030] Preferably, the spring needle 05 is made of conductive material and includes an outer needle body and an inner needle body. The outer needle body is provided with a sliding groove, and one end of the inner needle body is slidably disposed in the sliding groove and a spring is provided in the sliding groove. The other end of the outer needle body is located outside the sliding groove.
[0031] Preferably, the output terminals of the circuit breaker 03 and the branch controller 04 are electrically connected by two spring pins 05; the metal at both ends of the spring pins 05 is used for conduction, and an insulating coating is provided in the middle of their sidewalls. After installation, the two ends of the spring pins 05 are located inside, while the exposed middle end is provided with an insulating coating to prevent leakage.
[0032] Preferably, the output terminal of circuit breaker 03 is equipped with a power supply line, and a Rogowski coil current transformer connected to the branch controller 04 is mounted on the power supply line. This coil is used to detect the circuit, and when an abnormal current occurs in the circuit, the branch controller 04 controls the power supply to be cut off.
[0033] Preferably, the track frame 011 has a flat-bottomed U-shaped structure with its edges extending to both sides to form two edges. The back of the mounting plate is provided with a T-shaped groove, and the two edges are located in the T-shaped groove so that the mounting plate can slide vertically along the track frame 011.
[0034] Preferably, the mounting plate has an inverted T-shaped groove on the front, and the circuit breaker 03 has a slider that matches the shape of the inverted T-shaped groove. The circuit breaker 03 slides vertically by the cooperation of the slider and the inverted T-shaped groove.
