[0021] 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.
[0022] As a key device for power distribution and control in a power system, the safe operation of the internal electrical components of a distribution cabinet depends on a reliable protective structure. In the case of cable access in a distribution cabinet, the sealing treatment of the lead wire 2 and the cable hole 11 in the cabinet body 1 is a core technical aspect to prevent the intrusion of the external environment.
[0023] Due to the limitations of existing technologies, such as poor installation flexibility and inadequate sealing performance, please refer to... Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a sealing structure for the lead wire 2 of a power distribution cabinet, which has advantages such as flexible installation, reliable sealing, low cost, and convenient maintenance. It effectively solves the shortcomings of traditional wiring methods and is especially suitable for the protection needs of power distribution cabinets in complex environments such as outdoor and industrial workshops. The sealing structure includes a cabinet body 1 and lead wires 2. The cabinet body 1 has a number of wire holes 11 that are the same as the number of lead wires 2. Sealing connectors 3 are installed in the wire holes 11 and are sleeved on the lead wires 2. The holes can be opened as needed to accommodate different numbers of cables, which is highly flexible. The one-to-one sealing avoids gaps between cables and improves the overall sealing performance. Specifically, the sealing connectors 3 include two symmetrically arranged pressure rings 31. The two pressure rings 31 are connected by two buckles 32 and sleeved on the lead wires 2. A sleeve 33 is provided on one side of the pressure rings 31 and sleeved on the lead wires 2. The sleeve 33 has a pressing groove 331 inside, and an inner sealing ring 34 that contacts the end face of the pressure ring 31 is provided in the pressing groove 331. The sleeve 33 is inserted into the wire hole 11. The two ends of the sleeve 33 located on the inner and outer sides of the cabinet 1 are respectively threaded with an inner sleeve cover 36 and an outer sleeve cover 35. In use, the two pressure rings 31 are aligned and put on the lead wire 2 through the buckle 32. Then, one end of the sleeve 33 is inserted into the wire hole 11 and the inner sleeve cover 36 is used to fix the sleeve 33 inside the cabinet 1. Then, the inner sealing ring 34 is placed in the pressing groove 331 inside the sleeve 33. Then, one end of the lead wire 2 is inserted into the cabinet 1 along the inner side of the sleeve 33. Finally, the outer sleeve cover 35 is screwed on the sleeve 33. The inner side of the outer sleeve cover 35 squeezes the pressure ring 31 and the end face of the pressure ring 31 squeezes the inner sealing ring 34, thereby forming a connection seal.
[0024] Furthermore, the pressure ring 31 has slots 311 at both ends for insertion into the buckle 32; and the buckle 32 is U-shaped, with a bevel 321 at one end and two protrusions at the other end; the slots 311 allow the buckle 32 to be smoothly inserted into the buckle 32 and form a connection and fixation between the two pressure rings 31, while the bevel 321 allows the buckle 32 to be quickly inserted into the slots 311, and the protrusions allow the buckle 32 to be easily pushed out, thereby separating the two pressure rings 31.
[0025] Since both the inner cover 36 and the outer cover 35 are circular, slippage can easily occur when screwing them on. To address this issue, anti-slip textures are provided on the outer walls of both the inner cover 36 and the outer cover 35. These textures enhance friction, eliminating the need for additional tools during installation and allowing for controllable tightening force to prevent over-tightening or loosening.
[0026] If the diameter of the through hole in the inner cover 36 and the outer cover 35 does not match that of the lead wire 2, foreign objects may easily enter the inner cover 36 and the outer cover 35 through the through hole, causing the inner cover 36 and the outer cover 35 to be blocked and difficult to turn. To address this issue, a through hole with the same diameter as the lead wire 2 is provided at the center of both the inner cover 36 and the outer cover 35. The purpose of this design is to allow the inner cover 36 and the outer cover 35 to fit snugly against the lead wire 2, minimizing gaps and reducing the entry of foreign objects into the inner cover 36 and the outer cover 35.
[0027] Because there may be some error when opening the wire hole 11, the diameter of the wire hole 11 may be inconsistent. However, the size of the sleeve 33 is fixed. Therefore, when the sleeve 33 is inserted into the hole of the lead wire 2, there will be some error gap, which will affect the sealing performance. To address this issue, a stepped groove is provided on the outer wall of the sleeve 33, and an outer sealing ring 37 is fitted in the stepped groove. The outer sealing ring 37 is attached to the outer wall of the cabinet 1 near the wire hole 11. The outer sealing ring 37 is used to compensate for the error of the wire hole 11. Combined with the inner sealing ring 34 on the inner side of the sleeve 33, a double-layer sealing effect can be formed, which greatly improves the sealing performance.

[0029] 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.
