Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of distribution box installation technology, specifically a slotless distribution box installation structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the traditional field of electrical distribution box installation, the method of on-site grooving and embedding into the wall has long been the common practice. However, this method has obvious drawbacks. On the one hand, during the construction process, it is necessary to use professional tools such as electric drills and cutting machines to groove the wall. This operation not only generates a lot of dust and noise, but also seriously pollutes the construction environment and causes great interference to the lives and work of the surrounding residents.

[0003] On the other hand, grooving operations require highly skilled workers and involve complex procedures, consuming significant time and labor costs. Furthermore, it can damage the integrity of the wall structure, potentially causing cracks, hollow areas, and even weakening its load-bearing capacity, leading to safety hazards. With the development of the construction industry, people have placed higher demands on the convenience, safety, and aesthetics of electrical distribution box installation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a slot-free distribution box installation structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the inconvenience of on-site slotting and the generation of dust, noise and environmental pollution.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a slotless distribution box installation structure, including a wall, an embedded box is installed inside the wall, and an embedded pipe is installed through the outer surface of one end of the embedded box. The outer surface of the embedded pipe is in contact with the inner surface of the wall. Protruding strips are evenly provided on the outer surfaces of both ends of the embedded box, and the protruding strips are engaged with the wall. An end cap is inserted and installed on the outer surface of one end of the embedded box, and the outer surface of the end cap is concave and flush with the wall.

[0006] Preferably, a buckle nose is fixedly installed on one outer surface of the end cap, and the buckle nose is located around the end cap.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the buckle nose set on the outer surface of the end cap allows the wall and the end cap to be connected after the casting is completed. The buckle nose, which is higher than the wall, indicates that there is an embedded box. The end cap can be easily pulled out of the wall by passing through the buckle nose with a tool.

[0008] Preferably, an elastic card is fixedly installed at one end of the end cap located inside the wall, and the outer surface of the elastic card is provided with a circular protrusion. Grooves are fixedly provided on both outer surfaces of the inner box, and the grooves engage with the elastic card.

[0009] Using the above technical solution, the design of the elastic card can effectively allow the circular protrusion to be inserted into the groove, allowing the end cap to be inserted into the inner box. This facilitates the fixing of the end cap and also makes it easy to remove the end cap from the inner box. The elastic card is made of high-strength, high-elasticity metal or engineering plastic.

[0010] Preferably, the inner frame is inserted into the inner box, and the inner frame is located at both ends of the inner box. Screws are installed through the outer surfaces of both ends of the inner frame, and the screws are threadedly connected to the grooves.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the inner frame can be stably inserted into the inner box, and screws are screwed into the groove to connect and fix the inner frame to the inner box.

[0012] Preferably, an installation bar is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the inner frame, and an electrical component is snapped onto the outer surface of the installation bar, with a gap between the installation bar and the inner frame.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the mounting bar can strengthen the connection between the inner frames, preventing deformation between the inner frames. At the same time, the gap between the inner frame and the mounting bar makes it easier to install electrical components.

[0014] Preferably, an inlay cover is fixedly installed on one outer surface of the inner frame, and the outer surface of the inlay cover is flush with the outer surface of the wall, and the inlay cover is inserted into the inner box.

[0015] Using the above technical solution, after the inlay cover is inserted into the interior of the recessed box, it can be completely flush with the exterior of the wall, making the inlay cover more aesthetically pleasing after installation inside the wall.

[0016] Preferably, a box door is rotatably mounted on the outer surface of the inlay cover, and an embedded handle is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the box door. A spring ball retainer is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the box door near the embedded handle, and the spring ball retainer engages with the inlay cover.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the spring ball bearing can engage with the inlay cover, allowing the cabinet door to engage with the inlay cover after it is closed, thus facilitating the opening and closing of the cabinet door.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the slot-free distribution box installation structure:

[0019] 1. When installing the embedded box, simply insert the end cap into the inside of the embedded box to allow the elastic clip to engage with the groove, and combine the embedded pipe with the embedded box to form a sealed space inside the embedded box. When the embedded box is placed inside the wall for pre-embedding, cement mortar will not enter the inside of the embedded box, which would be inconvenient for subsequent use. At the same time, the protruding strip design makes the embedded box more secure after the cement mortar has solidified. Through the pre-embedding and use of the embedded box, the distribution box can be installed without cutting grooves in the wall, which can eliminate the noise and dust generated by cutting grooves and reduce the chance of the wall being damaged and its strength reduced. The embedded box of the distribution box can be pre-embedded without damaging the wall.

[0020] 2. After the cement mortar in the wall has hardened, the end cap can be pulled out of the embedded box by inserting a tool and applying force, thus exposing the opening of the embedded box. The design of the end cap allows the end cap to protrude from the wall surface after the embedded box is embedded in the wall, so that the construction worker can see that there is an embedded box buried under the wall, reducing the chance of damage to the embedded box, and at the same time, the end cap can be easily removed for use.

[0021] 3. The assembly of the inner frame and the mounting bar strengthens the connection between them, making the inner frame and the mounting bar more secure when inserted into the interior box. It also facilitates the installation of electrical components on the outside of the interior box, allowing the components to be easily fixed to the outer surface of the mounting bar. After the components are installed, the inner frame and the mounting bar are inserted into the interior box, making it easy to install and wire the components, reducing the difficulty of installing components due to the limited space inside the interior box.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a slotless distribution box installation structure, including a wall 1, an embedded box 2 is installed inside the wall 1, and an embedded pipe 8 is installed through the outer surface of one end of the embedded box 2. The outer surface of the embedded pipe 8 is in contact with the inner surface of the wall 1. The outer surfaces of both ends of the embedded box 2 are evenly provided with protruding strips 3, and the protruding strips 3 are engaged with the wall 1. An end cap 4 is inserted and installed on the outer surface of one end of the embedded box 2, and the outer surface of the end cap 4 is concave and flush with the wall 1.

[0031] The design of the protruding strip 3 on the outer surface of the embedded box 2 allows the embedded box 2 to adhere to the cement mortar when it is poured and embedded into the wall 1. This prevents the cement mortar from easily falling out of the wall 1 after it has hardened and dried. The insertion of the end cap 4 into the embedded box 2 prevents cement mortar from entering the interior of the embedded box 2 when it is embedded into the wall 1, ensuring the cleanliness of the interior of the embedded box 2. Furthermore, the embedded box 2 and the inner pipe 8 can be poured and embedded into the wall 1 without the noise and dust generated by grooving, and can reduce the probability of the wall 1 being damaged and its strength reduced. This allows the embedded box 2 of the distribution box to be embedded without damaging the wall 1.

[0032] A latch 5 is fixedly installed on one outer surface of the end cap 4, and the latch 5 is located around the end cap 4.

[0033] The latch 5 on the outer surface of the end cap 4 serves both as a positioning marker and a convenient disassembly function. During the pouring of the wall 1, the latch 5 protrudes from the surface of the wall 1. After the wall 1 is poured and dried, construction workers can quickly identify the embedded box 2 in the wall 1 by the obvious protrusion of the latch 5, effectively avoiding damage to the embedded structure during secondary construction. When it is necessary to remove the end cap 4, a tool can be passed through the latch 5 to form a point of leverage. Using the lever principle or pulling force, the end cap 4 can be completely pulled out of the wall 1 with a small amount of force. Compared with the traditional embedded structure, this design does not require complicated disassembly procedures, which significantly improves construction efficiency and reduces the risk of damage to the embedded box 2 and the wall 1 during the disassembly of the end cap 4.

[0034] An elastic card 6 is fixedly installed on one end of the end cap 4 inside the wall 1, and the outer surface of the elastic card 6 is provided with a circular protrusion. The outer surfaces of both sides of the inner box 2 are fixedly provided with grooves 7, and the grooves 7 engage with the elastic card 6.

[0035] The connection between the end cap 4 and the inner box 2 adopts the design of elastic card 6 and groove 7, which realizes the dual functions of convenient installation and removal and reliable fixation. When the end cap 4 is inserted into the inner box 2, the elastic card 6 will be squeezed and produce elastic deformation, allowing the circular protrusion to engage with the groove 7. After that, the elastic card 6 can quickly return to its original position, so that the circular protrusion and the groove 7 can form a stable snap connection. This connection method does not require additional tools and the end cap 4 can be installed by hand. Moreover, the snap structure provides sufficient holding force to ensure that the end cap 4 does not loosen or shift during the pouring of the wall 1.

[0036] When it is necessary to disassemble the end cap 4, simply apply appropriate external force to deform the elastic card 6 again, and the circular protrusion can be easily disassembled from the groove 7, thus achieving non-destructive disassembly of the end cap 4. The entire design cleverly utilizes the elastic properties of the material, which not only ensures the reliability of the connection, but also facilitates the installation and disassembly of the end cap 4.

[0037] The inner frame 9 is inserted into the inner box 2, and the inner frame 9 is located at both ends of the inner box 2. Screws 14 are installed through the outer surfaces of both ends of the inner frame 9, and the screws 14 are threadedly connected to the grooves 7.

[0038] The inner frame 9 can be smoothly and stably inserted into the inner box 2, ensuring a tight fit between the inner frame 9 and the inner box 2 during assembly. After the inner frame 9 is in place, the screws 14 are screwed into the pre-set grooves 7 on the inner wall of the inner box 2. The tightening characteristics of the threads are used to firmly connect the inner frame 9 and the inner box 2. This double-protection connection method can not only effectively prevent the inner frame 9 from loosening or shifting during use, but also provide a stable and reliable support foundation for the installation of electrical components inside the distribution box, ensuring the safe operation and stable performance of the entire distribution box system.

[0039] An installation bar 10 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the inner frame 9, and an electrical component is snapped onto the outer surface of the installation bar 10. A gap is left between the installation bar 10 and the inner frame 9.

[0040] The design of mounting bar 10 enhances the structural performance of inner frame 9 and optimizes the installation experience of electrical components. Mounting bar 10 is horizontally and stably connected to inner frame 9, forming a grid-like reinforced structure. This connection method effectively disperses the stress generated by inner frame 9 when under force, significantly improving the deformation resistance and stability of mounting bar 10 and inner frame 9. Even if mounting bar 10 and inner frame 9 are subjected to external impact during transportation and installation, or subjected to vibration generated by the operation of electrical components during long-term use, inner frame 9 can maintain the integrity of the structure.

[0041] Meanwhile, the gap between the mounting bar 10 and the inner frame 9 provides ample operating space for the installation, wiring and maintenance of electrical components. Electricians can easily install circuit breakers, meters and other equipment onto the outer surface of the mounting bar 10 without worrying that the frame structure will obstruct the operation.

[0042] Furthermore, cables can be arranged in an orderly manner through gaps, avoiding problems such as tangling and squeezing, making the installation process of electrical components more efficient and convenient, and also providing convenient conditions for subsequent maintenance and component replacement.

[0043] An inlay cover 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the inner frame 9, and the outer surface of the inlay cover 11 is flush with the outer surface of the wall 1. The inlay cover 11 is inserted into the inner box 2.

[0044] When the inlay cover 11 is embedded inside the inner box 2, the inlay cover 11 can fit against the outer surface of the wall 1, ensuring that the inlay cover 11 and the outer surface of the wall 1 form a seamless connection, achieving a flat and uniform visual effect between the inlay cover 11 and the wall 1.

[0045] This design not only eliminates the defects of traditional distribution boxes that protrude from the wall or have gaps after installation, but also makes the distribution box seamlessly integrated with the building wall, greatly improving the aesthetics and harmony of the building space. At the same time, it effectively reduces the risk of dust, moisture and other substances entering the box through gaps, and enhances the stability of the distribution box operation.

[0046] A box door 12 is rotatably mounted on the outer surface of the inlaid cover 11, and an embedded handle 13 is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the box door 12. A spring ball retainer 15 is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the end of the box door 12 near the embedded handle 13, and the spring ball retainer 15 engages with the inlaid cover 11.

[0047] When the cabinet door 12 is closed, the spring ball retainer 15 will move closer to the preset slot of the inlay cover 11 as the cabinet door 12 moves. The spring ball retainer 15 will automatically pop out under the action of the spring force and accurately embed into the slot of the inlay cover 11 to form a firm locking state, effectively preventing the cabinet door 12 from being opened accidentally.

[0048] When it is necessary to open the cabinet door 12, simply open the embedded handle 13 and apply appropriate external force to allow the spring ball retainer 15 to retract and separate from the embedded cover 11, thus enabling the door to open smoothly.

[0049] The entire process requires no complicated operations and can be completed with simple push and pull actions, which not only ensures the safety of the electrical components inside the distribution box, but also provides an efficient and convenient operating experience for daily inspection and maintenance.

[0050] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
