Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cable protection technology, specifically a connector protection device. Background Technology

[0002] The main function of low-voltage cables is to transmit and control information. Low-voltage cables transmit smaller currents and voltages, but at higher frequencies. They are mainly used for information transmission and control. Their characteristics include low voltage, low current, and low power. The main considerations are the fidelity and speed of information transmission.

[0003] During the laying of low-voltage cables, conduit protection is required. The general construction process is to excavate the foundation pit, bury the conduit, thread the cable, and backfill the foundation pit. At the same time, low-voltage wells are needed at the nodes where the conduit connects and branches. Low-voltage wells are small in size and do not take up much space, making it convenient for cable connection.

[0004] In actual use, it was found that due to the small internal space of the low-voltage well, workers could only reach in to work. The cable joints in the low-voltage well did not have any protective devices and were just curled up at the bottom of the well. Therefore, it is necessary to protect them based on the existing structure to improve the integrity of the cable joints and reduce the impact of external accidental factors. Thus, a structure that is easy to install and can protect the joints was designed. Utility Model Content

[0022] 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.

[0023] In this utility model:

[0024] Reference Figure 1-4 A joint protection device includes a protective box 1. The protective box 1 has extension ears 101 integrated at the four corners of its outer wall. The extension ears 101 are rotatably connected to a lead screw 2. The bottom of the lead screw 2 is connected to a support foot 201 through a ball joint.

[0025] The protective box 1 has symmetrical connection holes 3 on both sides. The protective box 1 has fixing ears 301 on both sides above the connection holes 3. The sleeve 4 is movably connected inside the connection hole 3. The inner ring of the connection hole 3 and the inner ring of the sleeve 4 are both embedded with sealing rings 6. The sealing ring 6 is made of nitrile rubber, which has the advantages of high elasticity and good weather resistance. The sealing ring 6 extends into an "eight" shape, which can further increase the sealing effect.

[0026] The protective box 1 is movably connected to the cover plate 5 by bolts. The bottom of the cover plate 5 is provided with a sealing strip 501. The protective box 1 and the cover plate 5 are connected by threads at the four corners, so that the protective box 1 and the cover plate 5 can be installed. At the same time, the sealing strip 501 is used to achieve a sealing effect and protect the cable connection.

[0027] The protective box 1 is equipped with a limiting component that can limit the cable; the limiting component includes: limiting groove A7, fastener 701, connecting ear 702, limiting groove B8, locking tooth 801, and connecting post 802;

[0028] The bottom of the protective box 1 is equipped with a limiting groove A7, and the limiting groove B8 is movably installed above the limiting groove A7. A fastener 701 is provided on one upper edge of both limiting groove A7 and limiting groove B8, and a connecting ear 702 is provided on the other upper edge of both limiting groove A7 and limiting groove B8. A locking tooth 801 is provided on one bottom edge of limiting groove B8 corresponding to the fastener 701, and a connecting post 802 is provided on the other side of limiting groove B8 corresponding to the connecting ear 702.

[0029] Furthermore, the limiting grooves A7 and B8 are made of TPU. TPU has good flexibility and stable chemical and physical properties, making it easy to process industrially. Threaded lugs are provided on both sides of the limiting groove A7. This is achieved by using the threaded lugs in conjunction with self-tapping screws to install the limiting groove A7 inside the protective box 1.

[0030] Furthermore, the fastener 701 and the locking tooth 801 are connected in a one-way manner. By rotating the limiting groove A7 downward, the fastener 701 and the locking tooth 801 can be connected using the one-way connection. When it is necessary to open the limiting groove B8, the fastener 701 can be flipped outward to release the restriction.

[0031] Furthermore, the connecting ear 702 and the connecting post 802 are connected in a fitting manner. The upper and lower corresponding positions of the limiting groove A7 and the limiting groove B8 are provided with semi-circular slots, which can form a ring. The number of limiting grooves B8 can be increased according to needs, thereby bundling the cables and improving practicality.

[0032] Working principle: First, place the protective box 1 into the low-voltage manhole. Then, apply lubricating oil inside the sealing ring 6 to enhance lubrication. Next, thread the cable inside the conduit into the sleeve 4, making the sleeve 4 fit snugly against the conduit. Stretch the sleeve 4 so that its end is pressed tightly against the protective box 1. Simultaneously, rotate the screw 2 to lower the support foot 201, making it contact the bottom of the protective box 1. After the protective box 1 is stable and secure, fix the sleeve 4 by passing a self-tapping screw through the fixing ear 301. The sealing ring 6 ensures the seal at the connection. Next, connect the cable. After connection, increase the number of limiting grooves B8 as needed to connect the cable. The lug 702 and the connecting post 802 are fitted together. The upper and lower corresponding positions of the limiting groove A7 and the limiting groove B8 are provided with semi-circular slots, which can form a ring to bundle the cable and improve its practicality. By rotating the limiting groove A7 downward, the fastener 701 and the locking tooth 801 can be connected by a one-way snap-fit ​​relationship. When the limiting groove B8 needs to be opened, the fastener 701 can be flipped outward to release the restriction. Finally, the protective box 1 and the cover plate 5 are installed. At the same time, the sealing strip 501 achieves a sealing effect to protect the cable joint and improve safety. The large space inside the protective box 1 can accommodate the winding of the cable.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
