[0021] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the relevant utility model and not intended to limit the scope of the utility model. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 1-5This application provides a universal cable device with a weatherproof enclosure, including a weatherproof enclosure. The weatherproof enclosure includes a box body 100 and a door 200. The box body 100 includes two first side plates 110 and a second side plate 120. The two first side plates 110 are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart. The second side plate 120 is located between the two first side plates 110, and both ends of the second side plate 120 are fixedly connected to the two first side plates 110 respectively. The opening of the box body 100 is arranged opposite to the second side plate 120. The door 200 is rotatably connected to the box body 100 to open and close the opening. The ends of the two first side plates 110 away from the opening extend out of the second side plate 120, and a clearance cavity 101 is formed between the extended ends 111 of the two first side plates 110 and the second side plate 120. The universal cable guide device also includes a universal cable guide. The second side plate 120 is provided with a mounting hole 121. The universal cable guide is installed at the mounting hole 121. Specifically, the universal cable guide is located on the side of the mounting hole 121 near the box opening, and the universal cable guide is fixedly connected to the second side plate 120.

[0023] The forecastle wall has cable guide holes, and the wall containing the cable guide holes is an arc-shaped wall that protrudes towards the interior of the forecastle. A swivel cable system is installed inside the forecastle. Specifically, a weatherproof box is installed on the forecastle deck, with the protruding end 111 of the first side plate 110 welded to the forecastle wall. The mounting hole 121 on the second side plate 120 is aligned with the cable guide hole. The portion of the arc-shaped wall corresponding to the second side plate 120 is housed in a clearance cavity 101, ensuring close proximity between the weatherproof box and the forecastle wall.

[0024] In this embodiment, the swivel guide is installed inside a weatherproof box and is mounted on the forecastle wall through the weatherproof box. The weatherproof box not only prevents seawater from flowing through the guide hole to the forecastle deck, avoiding inconvenience to the crew's living and working conditions and increasing the risk of seawater corrosion to the hull, but also the second side plate 120 of the weatherproof box can serve as an installation carrier for the swivel guide, eliminating the need to weld and install a flat plate on the curved forecastle wall, thus reducing the workload of installing the swivel guide.

[0025] In some embodiments of this application, the universal cable guide includes a rotating member and a cable guide wheel assembly, the cable guide wheel assembly being disposed on the rotating member, the rotating member being fixedly connected to the second side plate 120, wherein the cable guide wheel assembly is capable of rotating 360° via the rotating member.

[0026] Optionally, the rotating component is a bearing, the cable guide wheel assembly is installed on the inner ring of the bearing, the outer ring of the bearing is provided with multiple connecting holes, the second side plate 120 is provided with multiple connecting bolts 170 on the side near the box opening, and the multiple connecting bolts 170 are arranged around the mounting hole 121. The multiple connecting bolts 170 are inserted into the multiple connecting holes one by one, and nuts are screwed on the connecting bolts 170 to fix the outer ring of the bearing to the second side plate 120.

[0027] In some embodiments of this application, a ring plate 150 is provided on the side of the second side plate 120 away from the opening. The ring plate 150 is arranged around the axis of the mounting hole 121, and the ring plate 150 is located inside the relief cavity 101, that is, the ring plate 150 does not extend out of the relief cavity 101. The ring plate 150 is arranged close to the wall to fill the gap between the second side plate 120 and the wall, reducing the risk of seawater seeping into the gap between the second side plate 120 and the wall.

[0028] The ring plate 150 and the mounting hole 121 are coaxially or nearly coaxially arranged, and the diameter of the ring plate 150 is larger than the diameter of the mounting hole 121.

[0029] In some embodiments of this application, the bottom of the second side plate 120 is provided with a guide hole 122, one end of which is connected to the inner cavity of the box 100 and the other end is connected to the outside. The guide hole 122 can be connected to a guide pipe, so that seawater flowing into the weatherproof box from the cable guide hole can be discharged to a designated location through the guide pipe, thus preventing seawater from accumulating in the weatherproof box.

[0030] In some embodiments of this application, the box 100 also includes a bottom plate 130, which is disposed on the side of the second side plate 120 near the box opening. The bottom plate 130 is inclined and the lower end of the bottom plate 130 is disposed away from the box opening, so that the bottom plate 130 can guide the seawater in the windproof box to the guide hole 122, which helps the guide hole 122 to discharge seawater in a timely manner.

[0031] In some embodiments of this application, the door 200 is hinged to the outer wall of one of the first side plates 110 by a plurality of hinges 160. The side of the door 200 near the opening is provided with an annular mounting groove 210, and an elastic sealing element 220 is provided in the annular mounting groove 210. The box body 100 is provided with a plug-in part arranged around the opening. When the door 200 closes the opening, the plug-in part is inserted into the annular mounting groove and abuts against the elastic sealing element 220, so that the sealing performance of the weatherproof box is better.

[0032] Optionally, the housing 100 also includes a top plate 140 disposed opposite to the bottom plate 130. The top plate 140 is fixedly connected between the two first side plates 110. The two first side plates 110, the top plate 140 and the bottom plate 130 near the opening of the housing together form the aforementioned annular insertion part.

[0033] Optionally, the weatherproof box also includes multiple locking mechanisms 300, which are disposed on the door 200 and the box body 100 to lock the closed door 200. The multiple locking mechanisms 300 are spaced apart along the direction surrounding the opening of the box.

[0034] The locking mechanism 300 includes a screw 310, a butterfly-shaped spiral buckle 320, and a pressure plate 330. The butterfly-shaped spiral buckle 320 is screwed onto the screw 310, and the screw 310 is rotatably connected to the housing 100. The pressure plate 330 is fixedly mounted on the door 200 and has a guide groove. When the locking mechanism 300 needs to lock the closed door 200, the screw 310 is screwed into the guide groove, and the butterfly-shaped spiral buckle 320 is rotated to press against the door 200, so that the door 200 is firmly pressed against the housing 100.
