Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0023] See Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0024] An outdoor waterproof equipment cabinet includes a cabinet body 1, cabinet doors 2, telescopic rings 3, upper connecting rings 4, lower connecting rings 5, upper locking rings 6, and lower locking rings 7. Several cabinet doors 2 are sealed on the side walls of the cabinet body 1. A cable hole is provided on the bottom of the cabinet body 1, through which a power cable 8 is installed. The lower connecting ring 5 is fitted onto the power cable 8 and is sealed to it. The lower locking ring 7 is mounted on the lower connecting ring 5 and used to fix the lower connecting ring 5 to the power cable 8. The lower connecting ring 5 is sealed and fixedly connected to the lower end of the telescopic ring 3, and the upper end of the telescopic ring 3 is sealed and fixedly connected to the upper connecting ring 4. A connecting sleeve 9 is sealed and fixedly installed on the cable hole. The upper locking ring 6 seals and fixes the upper connecting ring 4 onto the connecting sleeve 9. The telescopic ring 3, upper connecting ring 4, and lower connecting ring 5 are integrally formed. A lower elastic sealing layer 19 is provided between the lower connecting ring 5 and the power cable 8, and an upper elastic sealing layer 20 is provided between the upper locking ring 6 and the upper connecting ring 4. The cabinet 1 is used to install switchgear. The cabinet door 2 facilitates access to the cabinet 1. The telescopic ring 3, upper connecting ring 4, and lower connecting ring 5 work together to seal the cable holes. All three are made of rubber. The telescopic ring 3 provides space for the power cable 8 to slide after sealing, allowing for better adjustment of its position. The upper locking ring 6 and lower locking ring 7 are existing locking buckles. The upper locking ring 6 secures the upper connecting ring 4 to the connecting sleeve 9, and the lower locking ring 7 secures the lower connecting ring 5 to the power cable 8. The lower elastic sealing layer 19 and upper elastic sealing layer 20 are both made of existing elastic rubber for better sealing. One side of the cabinet door 2 is connected to the cabinet 1 via a hinge, and the other side is connected to the cabinet 1 via a lock. The connecting sleeve 9 has a cylindrical cross-section.

[0025] In some embodiments, an inner convex ring 10 is provided on the cabinet door 2, and an outer convex ring 11 that mates with the inner convex ring 10 is provided on the cabinet body 1. An annular water groove 12 is provided between the outer convex ring 11 and the cabinet body 1. A sealing ring 13 is fixedly provided on the inner convex ring 10, and the sealing ring 13 is in a sealing fit with the outer convex ring 11. The sealing ring 13 is a rubber sealing ring in the prior art. The rubber sealing ring is fixed on the inner convex ring 10, and the inner side of the rubber sealing ring is in a sealing fit with the inner convex ring 10. In this way, when the cabinet door 2 is closed, the inner convex ring 10, the outer convex ring 11, and the sealing ring 13 work together to achieve a complete seal.

[0026] In some embodiments, two first rain-guiding slopes 14 are provided on the top of the cabinet 1. The upper ends of the two first rain-guiding slopes 14 are sealed and fixedly connected together, and the two ends of the two first rain-guiding slopes 14 are respectively sealed and fixedly connected by two second rain-guiding slopes 15. The lower ends of the first rain-guiding slopes 14 and the two second rain-guiding slopes 15 are both on the same plane and extend to the outside of the cabinet 1. The two first rain-guiding slopes 14 and the two second rain-guiding slopes 15 work together to prevent water accumulation at the top of the cabinet 1 and to better drain water.

[0027] In some embodiments, a drain pipe 16 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the cabinet 1. The upper end of the drain pipe 16 is sealed and connected to a water collection tank 21. The water collection tank 21 is sealed and fixedly installed on the lower ends of the first rain-guiding slope 14 and the second rain-guiding slope 15. Water may flow backwards at the ends of the first rain-guiding slope 14 and the second rain-guiding slope 15, which could easily allow water to enter the cabinet 1. However, since the lower ends of the first rain-guiding slope 14 and the second rain-guiding slope 15 are located in the water collection tank 21, rainwater flows directly into the water collection tank 21 after rain and is then guided to the ground through the drain pipe 16. This provides better protection for the cabinet 1.

[0028] In some embodiments, a filter end 17 is provided at the upper end of the drain pipe 16. The upper end of the filter end 17 extends to the upper side of the water collection tank 21. The upper end of the filter end 17 is conical, and a plurality of through water holes 18 are provided on the outer wall of the filter end 17. The function of the filter end 17 is to prevent leaves and other objects in the water collection tank 21 from entering the drain pipe 16 and causing blockage. The filter end 17 is provided with a large number of water holes 18, and some of the holes on the filter end 17 are lower than the bottom of the water collection tank 21, so that the water in the water collection tank 21 can completely flow away through the drain pipe 16, preventing water from being trapped in the water collection tank 21.
