Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aircraft ground power reel machines, specifically to an embedded plug box and a bottom-out cable reel machine. Background Technology
[0002] When ground power supplies energize an aircraft, a power cable is used to connect the power source to the aircraft. These cables are relatively long and heavy, and are typically wound up and unwound using a reel. Currently, the reel in these machines is a left-hand reel, placing the cable exit point at the top of the machine. Because of the height difference and the exit point, the effective usable length of the cable is significantly reduced. Furthermore, the cable connector is usually located on the side of the reel, greatly increasing its overall size and making it inconvenient for ground crew to access the aviation connector. Additionally, the cable exit point is generally open, failing to provide rodent protection. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the above technologies, this utility model provides an embedded plug box and a bottom-out cable reel that solves the problems of insufficient effective length of power supply cables, large size of reeling machines, and inconvenience in handling aviation plugs.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to overcome its technical problem is:
[0005] An embedded plug box and a bottom-out cable reel machine, comprising:
[0006] The housing has an internal cavity, in which a drum is rotatably mounted via a rotating mechanism. The axis of the drum is horizontally arranged in the left-right direction.
[0007] The power mechanism, located inside the housing, is used to drive the drum to rotate;
[0008] The cable outlet is located at the lower end of the housing, and the length of the cable outlet matches the axial length of the drum.
[0009] The drum has a spiral groove arranged around its axial direction. One end of the cable is wound in the spiral groove of the drum, and the other end extends out of the box from the outlet and is connected to an aviation plug.
[0010] Furthermore, the aforementioned rotating mechanism includes a support shaft I coaxially mounted on the left end of the drum and a support shaft II coaxially mounted on the right end of the drum. The support shaft I is rotatably connected to the left end of the housing, and the support shaft II is rotatably connected to the right end of the housing.
[0011] Furthermore, the aforementioned power mechanism includes a reducer and a motor mounted on the housing, wherein the output shaft of the motor is coaxially connected to the input shaft of the reducer, and the output shaft of the reducer is coaxially connected to the support shaft II.
[0012] Preferably, the spiral groove is right-handed.
[0013] To improve ease of use, a fixing device is also included on the enclosure, through which the aviation plug is fixed to the enclosure.
[0014] Furthermore, the aforementioned fixing device includes a plug slot located at the upper end of the housing and a bracket plate rotatably mounted on the housing via a hinge. The inner diameter of the plug slot matches the outer diameter of the aviation plug. The bracket plate is located at the lower end of the plug slot and has a U-shaped opening. The width of the U-shaped opening matches the outer diameter of the cable. When the aviation plug is inserted into the plug slot, the bracket plate rotates upward until the cable is inserted into the U-shaped opening.
[0015] To enhance aesthetics, a groove is included in the housing, the inner diameter of which matches the outer diameter of the support plate. When the support plate is rotated downwards to a vertical position, it is embedded in the groove.
[0016] For ease of operation, a Y-shaped opening is also provided at the front end of the U-shaped opening, the width of which is greater than the outer diameter of the cable.

The upper left and right sides of the cover plate are respectively provided with mounting holes. Screw I passes through the guide groove and screws into the housing at the lower end of the outlet. When screw I is at the uppermost end of the vertical section of the guide groove, the cover plate slides down until the outlet is exposed. When screw I is at the rightmost end of the horizontal section of the guide groove, the cover plate slides up to close the outlet. Screw II passes through the mounting hole and screws into the housing at the upper end of the outlet.
[0018] To improve ease of operation, a handle is installed on the cover plate.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: A spiral groove is provided on the drum, and the cable outlet of the winding machine is located at the lower front of the housing, tangentially at the bottom of the drum.

Detailed Implementation
[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 The present invention will be further described below.
[0027] An embedded plug box and a bottom-out cable reel machine include: a housing 1 with an internal cavity in which a reel 18 is rotatably mounted via a rotating mechanism, the axis of the reel 18 being horizontally arranged in the left-right direction; a power mechanism disposed in the housing 1 for driving the reel 18 to rotate; a cable outlet 2 disposed at the lower end of the housing 1, the length of the cable outlet 2 matching the axial length of the reel 18; a spiral groove 22 is axially arranged on the reel 18, one end of a cable 3 is wound in the spiral groove 22 of the reel 18, and the other end extends out of the housing 1 from the cable outlet 2 and is connected to an aviation plug 4. The power mechanism drives the drum 18 to rotate in the forward or reverse direction through the rotation mechanism. Since the cable 3 is wound in the spiral groove 22 of the drum 18, the forward or reverse rotation of the drum 18 realizes the winding or unwinding of the cable 3. Since the cable outlet 2 is located at the lower end of the housing 1, and more preferably at the horizontal tangent direction of the lower end of the drum 18, the cable 3 wound in the spiral groove 22 can extend to the outside of the housing 1 through the cable outlet 2. Since the cable outlet is located at the bottom, there is no height difference between the cable 3 and the ground. At the same time, the lower cable outlet being located at the horizontal tangent direction of the lower end of the drum 18 further reduces the space wastage of the cable 3 and increases the effective length of the cable 3.
[0028] In one embodiment of this utility model, the rotating mechanism includes a support shaft I 19 coaxially mounted on the left side of the drum 18 and a support shaft II 20 coaxially mounted on the right side of the drum 18. The support shaft I 19 is rotatably connected to the left side of the housing 1, and the support shaft II 20 is rotatably connected to the right side of the housing 1. The drum 18 can rotate within the housing 1 via the support shaft I 19 and the support shaft II 20, thereby enabling the winding and unwinding of the cable 3.
[0029] In one embodiment of this utility model, the power mechanism includes a reducer 21 and a motor 10 mounted on the housing 1. The output shaft of the motor 10 is coaxially connected to the input shaft of the reducer 21, and the output shaft of the reducer 21 is coaxially connected to the support shaft II 20. The motor 10 drives the drum 18 to rotate after the torque is reduced and amplified by the reducer 21. The structure is simple and the operation is reliable.
[0030] In one embodiment of this utility model, the spiral groove 22 is right-handed. Since the spiral groove 22 is right-handed, when the reducer 21 rotates clockwise, the drum 18 rotates clockwise, thereby releasing the cable 3; when the reducer 21 rotates counterclockwise, the drum 18 rotates counterclockwise, thereby retracting the cable 3.
[0031] In one embodiment of this utility model, a fixing device is also included on the housing 1, and the aviation plug 4 is fixed to the housing 1 by the fixing device. By providing the fixing device, the aviation plug 4 can be easily fixed to the housing 1, making it convenient for storage.
[0032] In this embodiment, preferably, the fixing device includes a plug slot 5 disposed on the upper end of the housing 1 and a bracket plate 6 rotatably mounted on the housing 1 via a hinge 9. The inner diameter of the plug slot 5 matches the outer diameter of the aviation plug 4. The bracket plate 6 is located at the lower end of the plug slot 5 and has a U-shaped opening 11. The width of the U-shaped opening 11 matches the outer diameter of the cable 3. When the aviation plug 4 is inserted into the plug slot 5, the bracket plate 6 rotates upward until the cable 3 is inserted into the U-shaped opening 11. The bracket plate 6 supports the aviation plug 4 by embedding the cable 3 into the U-shaped opening 11, ensuring that its head end is located in the plug slot 5. When the aviation plug 4 is pulled out, the bracket plate 6 rotates downward, thereby disengaging the cable 3 from the U-shaped opening 11 of the bracket plate 6, thus realizing the removal operation of the aviation plug 4. The removal and storage operation of the aviation plug is convenient.
[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, a groove 7 is provided in the housing 1. The inner diameter of the groove 7 matches the outer diameter of the support plate 6. When the support plate 6 is rotated downward to a vertical position, it is embedded in the groove 7.
[0034] In one embodiment of this utility model, a Y-shaped opening 12 is also provided at the front end of the U-shaped opening 11, and the width of the Y-shaped opening 12 is greater than the outer diameter of the cable 3. When the aviation plug 4 is removed from the plug slot 5, the bracket plate 6 is flipped downward into the embedded groove 7, and the bracket plate 6 is flush with the front end of the housing 1, which serves to store the bracket plate 6 and also improves the overall aesthetics of the equipment.
[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, a cover plate 8 is also included. L-shaped guide grooves 13 are respectively provided at the left and right ends of the cover plate 8. Mounting holes 17 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the upper end of the cover plate 8. Screw I 15 passes through the guide groove 13 and is screwed into the housing 1 at the lower end of the outlet 2. When screw I 15 is located at the uppermost end of the vertical section of the guide groove 13, the cover plate 8 slides down until the outlet 2 is exposed. When screw I 15 is located at the rightmost end of the horizontal section of the guide groove 13, the cover plate 8 slides up to close the outlet 2. Screw II 16 passes through the mounting hole 17 and is screwed into the housing 1 at the upper end of the outlet 2. When the drum 18 rotates to reel in and unload the cable 3, after loosening screw II 16, push the cover plate 8 to the right. Screw I 15 acts as a guide in the guide groove 13, sliding from the horizontal section to the vertical section. Then, move the cover plate 8 downwards, and screw I 15 slides within the vertical section of the guide groove 13. The cover plate 8 moves to the bottom, at which point the cable outlet 2 is fully exposed, facilitating the reeling in and unloading of the cable 3. After use, move the cover plate 8 upwards, and screw I 15 moves to the bottom in the vertical section. Then, move the cover plate 8 outwards, and screw I 15 moves to the rightmost end in the horizontal section. The cover plate 8 seals the cable outlet 2, preventing rodents from entering the housing 1 through the cable outlet 2 and damaging the cable 3, further improving the safety of the reeling machine. Finally, screw II 16 is passed through the mounting hole 17 and screwed into the housing 1 above the cable outlet 2 to lock and fix the cover plate 8 relative to the housing, preventing it from falling off.
[0036] In this embodiment, preferably, a handle 14 is installed on the cover plate 8. The handle 14 allows for easy movement of the cover plate 8, further improving ease of use.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
