Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of municipal engineering technology, specifically to a pipe box. Background Technology

[0002] A conduit box is an enclosed structure used to house and protect pipes, cables, or other equipment, commonly found in building, industrial, and infrastructure projects. For example, in urban bridge design, the issue of pipelines crossing the bridge is unavoidable. After the elevated bridge is erected, conduit boxes are usually installed for laying cables to power equipment on the elevated bridge and for laying some pipelines. These cables and pipelines are usually protected by conduit boxes during the laying process.

[0003] Patent document CN208183512U discloses a comprehensive pipeline bridge structure, belonging to the field of comprehensive pipelines. It includes a comprehensive pipeline and an arched beam. The comprehensive pipeline is mainly composed of a bottom plate, side plates, and a cover plate. The bottom plate and side plates are sealed and fixed to form a U-shaped slot. The cover plate is fitted onto the U-shaped slot. The bottom plate, side plates, and cover plate of the comprehensive pipeline are made of stainless steel. The bottom plate of the comprehensive pipeline is welded to the arched beam. Several supports are distributed along the length of the bottom of the arched beam. One end of the support is fixed to the bottom of the arched beam and supports the arched beam, while the other end is inserted into the riverbed.

[0004] Although the pipe box disclosed in the aforementioned patent documents provides some protection for internal pipes and cables, it is made entirely of stainless steel and welded to an arched beam. The cover plate is directly placed on top of the side plate without a fixed structure, resulting in drawbacks such as large overall weight, inconvenient disassembly and installation of the cover plate, and poor connection stability. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the technical problems of existing pipe boxes, such as large overall weight, inconvenient disassembly and installation of cover plates, and poor connection stability. The purpose is to provide a pipe box that can achieve a tight connection between the cover plate and the side plate, and the opening and closing of the cover plate is simple and quick. The pipe box is lightweight and also has buffer protection and waterproof functions.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A pipe box includes a bottom plate, side plates, and a cover plate. The bottom plate and side plates enclose an internal receiving space. The top of the side plates is folded outward to form an outward folded edge. The end of the cover plate has a bent portion.

[0008] When closing the cover, press down on the middle of the cover to expand the bent part at the end of the cover outward, aligning the bent part at the end of the cover with the outer folded edge. After releasing the cover, the bent part at the end of the cover retracts inward and engages with the outer folded edge to achieve a snap-fit.

[0009] This novel pipe box uses a resilient material, such as fiberglass. It features an outward-folding edge formed by folding the top of the side panels outwards, and a bending section at the end of the cover plate. Due to the inherent resilience of fiberglass, closing the cover plate simply requires lowering the middle of the cover plate to expand the bending sections at both ends outwards. At this point, the bending sections align with the outward-folding edge. When the cover plate is released, the bending sections at the end of the cover plate retract inwards and engage with the outward-folding edge to achieve a tight connection between the cover plate and the side panels, ensuring a stable connection. This eliminates the need for complex connection structures, making the opening and closing of the cover plate simple and quick. Furthermore, because the entire pipe box is made of fiberglass, it is significantly lighter.

[0010] Furthermore, the base plate, side plate, and outer folded edge are integrally formed, and the outer folded edge is perpendicular to the side plate. In addition to cooperating with the bending portion to achieve a cover plate snap-fit, the outer folded edge effectively prevents external moisture from entering the internal storage space, reducing the corrosion of internal cables and pipes by moisture.

[0011] Furthermore, the bent portion is in a downward-bent hook state, and the angle between the bent portion and the vertical direction is 30-60°. Setting the bending angle to 30-60° ensures that the bent portion can better engage with the outer folded edge, improving the connection stability between the cover plate and the side plate.

[0012] Furthermore, a protrusion is provided on the inner side of the bend. By providing a protrusion on the inner side of the bend, the connection between the cover plate and the outer folded edge of the side plate can be made tighter after the cover plate is closed.

[0013] Furthermore, the bent portion is connected to the cover plate via a horizontal connecting portion. The horizontal connecting portion is provided to facilitate the connection between the cover plate and the bent portion.

[0014] Furthermore, the height of the cover plate is higher than the height of the horizontal connection and the bend. This design creates a shape where the cover plate, horizontal connection, and bend are higher in the middle and lower on both sides, allowing for rapid drainage of water from the cover plate. This prevents excessive water accumulation from increasing the load on the pipe box and causing deformation, and also prevents water accumulation from causing aging and cracking of the pipe box material. Moreover, this automatic drainage structure prevents water from seeping into the inside of the pipe box, improving its protective performance.

[0015] Furthermore, a first protective layer is provided on the inner side of the cover plate. The first protective layer can be made of rubber pad material and is adhered to the inner side of the cover plate, thereby providing buffer protection for the cables and pipes inside the pipe box.

[0016] Furthermore, a second protective layer is provided on the inner side of the base plate and side plates. The second protective layer can be made of rubber pad material and is adhered to the inner side of the base plate and side plates, thereby providing buffer protection for the cables and pipes inside the conduit box.

[0017] Furthermore, the pipe box of this utility model also includes a snap-fit ​​fitting and an installation structure. The installation structure is used to install the pipe box, for example, to install the pipe box into the space below the bridge flange plate. The snap-fit ​​fitting is used to fix the pipe box to the installation structure. The pipe box and the installation structure are connected by the snap-fit ​​fitting, which does not require a complicated connection structure and makes the operation faster and more convenient.

[0018] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​component is L-shaped and located on both sides of the bottom of the pipe box to snap the pipe box inwards. The installation structure includes a fixed base, a connector, and an installation component. The snap-fit ​​component is located on the upper surface of the fixed base, and the fixed base is fixed to the lower part of the installation component via the connector. Since the pipe box is made entirely of fiberglass, it has a certain degree of toughness, allowing the pipe box to be directly snapped into the snap-fit ​​component for a fixed connection. This reduces the use of fixed connectors and makes the pipe box fixing operation simpler and more convenient. Specifically, the snap-fit ​​component can be two oppositely positioned angle steels. In the installation structure, the fixed base, connector, and installation component are connected end-to-end. The fixed base is horizontally positioned for installing the snap-fit ​​component to fix the pipe box. The lower end of the connector is vertically connected to one end of the fixed base. The installation component is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connector and is horizontally positioned. During installation, the installation component is fixed to the lower part of the bridge flange plate with bolts.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. The pipe box of this utility model forms an outer folded edge by folding the top of the side plate outward, and a bent part is provided at the end of the cover plate. When closing the cover plate, it is only necessary to press down the middle height of the cover plate to expand the bent parts at both ends of the cover plate outward. At this time, the bent parts will align with the outer folded edge. When the cover plate is released, the bent parts at the end of the cover plate retract inward and cooperate with the outer folded edge to achieve a snap-fit, so that the cover plate and the side plate are tightly connected, achieving a stable connection between the cover plate and the side plate. There is no need to set up a complex connection structure. The opening and closing operation of the cover plate is simple and quick. Moreover, since the entire pipe box is made of fiberglass, it is lighter in weight.

[0021] 2. The present invention also provides a protrusion on the inner side of the bent part, which can make the connection between the cover plate and the outer folded edge of the side plate more tight after the cover plate is closed.

[0022] 3. This utility model, by forming the cover plate, horizontal connecting part and bending part into a shape that is high in the middle and low on both sides, can quickly drain water from the cover plate, avoid excessive water accumulation which would increase the load on the pipe box and cause deformation, and also prevent water accumulation from causing aging and cracking of the pipe box material. Furthermore, this automatic drainage structure can prevent water from seeping into the inside of the pipe box, thus improving the protective performance of the pipe box.

[0023] 4. By setting a first protective layer and a second protective layer inside the pipe box, this utility model can further achieve buffer protection for the cables and pipes inside the pipe box.

[0024] 5. When installing the pipe box of this utility model, it is only necessary to snap it with the snap-fit ​​component to achieve a fixed connection, which reduces the use of fixed connecting components and makes the fixing operation of the pipe box simpler and more convenient.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] This embodiment provides a pipe box, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, it includes a base plate 1, a side plate 2, and a cover plate 4. The base plate 1 and the side plate 2 enclose an internal receiving space. The top of the side plate 2 is folded outward to form an outer folded edge 3. The end of the cover plate 4 has a bent portion 6.

[0038] When the cover plate 4 is closed, the middle part of the cover plate 4 is pressed down to make the bent part 6 at the end of the cover plate 4 expand outward. The bent part 6 at the end of the cover plate 4 is aligned with the outer folded edge 3. After the cover plate 4 is released, the bent part 6 at the end of the cover plate 4 retracts inward and cooperates with the outer folded edge 3 to achieve a snap-fit.

[0039] This novel pipe box uses a resilient material, such as fiberglass. An outer folded edge 3 is formed by folding the top of the side plate 2 outwards, and a bending part 6 is provided at the end of the cover plate 4. Due to the resilient nature of fiberglass, when closing the cover plate 4, it is only necessary to lower the middle height of the cover plate 4 to expand the bending parts 6 at both ends of the cover plate 4 outwards. At this time, the bending parts 6 will align with the outer folded edge 3. When the cover plate 4 is released, the bending parts 6 at the end of the cover plate 4 retract inwards and cooperate with the outer folded edge 3 to achieve a snap-fit ​​connection, making the cover plate 4 tightly connected to the side plate 2. This achieves a stable connection between the cover plate 4 and the side plate 2 without the need for a complex connection structure. The opening and closing operation of the cover plate 4 is simple and quick, and because the entire pipe box is made of fiberglass, it is lighter in weight.

[0040] The base plate 1, side plate 2, and outer folded edge 3 are integrally formed, and the outer folded edge 3 is perpendicular to the side plate 2. In addition to cooperating with the bending part 6 to achieve the snap-fit ​​of the cover plate 4, the outer folded edge 3 can also effectively prevent external moisture from entering the internal storage space, reducing the corrosion of internal cables and pipes by moisture.

[0041] See Figure 1 The bent portion 6 is in a downward-bent hook state, and the angle between the bent portion 6 and the vertical direction is 30-60°. The bending angle of the bent portion 6 is set to 30-60° to ensure that the bent portion 6 can better engage with the outer folded edge 3, thereby improving the connection stability between the cover plate 4 and the side plate 2.

[0042] The bent portion 6 is connected to the cover plate 4 via a horizontal connecting portion 5. The horizontal connecting portion 5 is provided to facilitate the connection between the cover plate 4 and the bent portion 6.

[0043] As a preferred implementation method, such as Figure 1 As shown, a protrusion 7 is also provided on the inner side of the bent portion 6. By providing the protrusion 7 on the inner side of the bent portion 6, the connection between the cover plate 4 and the outer folded edge 3 of the side plate 2 can be made tighter after the cover plate 4 is closed.

[0044] As a preferred implementation method, such as Figure 1 As shown, the height of the cover plate 4 is higher than the height of the horizontal connecting part 5 and the bending part 6. This design creates a shape where the cover plate 4, the horizontal connecting part 5, and the bending part 6 are higher in the middle and lower on both sides. This allows for rapid drainage of water from the cover plate 4, preventing excessive water accumulation from increasing the load on the pipe box and causing deformation. It also prevents water accumulation from causing aging and cracking of the pipe box material. Furthermore, this automatic drainage structure prevents water from seeping into the inside of the pipe box, improving its protective performance.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] This embodiment further illustrates the technical solution of this utility model based on Embodiment 1.

[0047] See Figure 1 The cover plate 4 has a first protective layer 8 on its inner side. The first protective layer 8 can be made of rubber pad material and is bonded to the inner side of the cover plate 4 to provide buffer protection for the cables and pipes inside the pipe box.

[0048] Example 3

[0049] This embodiment further illustrates the technical solution of this utility model based on embodiment 2.

[0050] See Figure 1 A second protective layer 9 is provided on the inner side of the base plate 1 and the side plate 2. The second protective layer 9 can be made of rubber pad material and is bonded to the inner side of the base plate 1 and the side plate 2, thereby achieving buffer protection for the cables and pipes inside the pipe box.

[0051] Example 4

[0052] This embodiment further illustrates the technical solution of this utility model based on Embodiment 1.

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, the pipe box of this utility model also includes a snap-fit ​​connector 10 and an installation structure. The installation structure is used to install the pipe box, for example, to install the pipe box into the space below the bridge flange through the installation structure. The snap-fit ​​connector 10 is used to fix the pipe box to the installation structure. The pipe box and the installation structure are connected by the snap-fit ​​connector 10, which does not require a complicated connection structure and makes the operation faster and more convenient.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment, the snap-fit ​​member 10 is L-shaped and is located on both sides of the bottom of the pipe box to snap the pipe box inside. The installation structure includes a fixed base 11, a connector 12 and an installation member 13. The snap-fit ​​member 10 is located on the upper surface of the fixed base 11, and the fixed base 11 is fixed below the installation member 13 by the connector 12.

[0055] Because the pipe box is made of fiberglass, which has a certain degree of toughness, it can be directly clamped into the clamping member 10 for fixed connection, reducing the use of the fixing connector 12 and making the pipe box fixing operation simpler and more convenient. The clamping member 10 can be made of two oppositely arranged angle steels. In the installation structure, the fixing base 11, connector 12 and mounting member 13 are connected end to end. The fixing base 11 is set horizontally to install the clamping member 10 to fix the pipe box. The lower end of the connector 12 is vertically connected to one end of the fixing base 11. The mounting member 13 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connector 12 and is set horizontally. During installation, the mounting member 13 is fixed to the underside of the bridge flange plate with bolts.

[0056] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific embodiments are only used to describe the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model in detail. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific implementation of this utility model and is not intended to limit the protection scope of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing specific embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions or improvements can be made to some or all of the technical features. These modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
