Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of junction box technology, and in particular to a junction box for thermal instruments in power plants. Background Technology

[0002] Thermal instrumentation in power plants refers to instruments used in power plant thermal systems to measure, display, control, and protect thermal parameters such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, and liquid level. These instruments play a crucial role in power plant operation, helping engineers and operators monitor the plant's operating status and ensure production efficiency and safety. Thermal instrumentation typically consists of sensors, converters, displays, and controllers. Sensors convert the measured physical quantity into electrical signals, converters convert these signals into a standard format, displays show the numerical values, and controllers make judgments and control based on these values.

[0003] A search revealed a junction box for thermal instruments in a power plant (authorization announcement number: CN 221747908 U), which "comprising a junction box body, with mounting boxes connected to both side walls of the junction box body; a heat dissipation component and a filter component are slidably connected inside the mounting boxes; air passes sequentially through the heat dissipation component and the filter component before entering the interior of the junction box body. The heat dissipation component and filter component of this utility model's junction box for thermal instruments in a power plant are easy to disassemble and clean, preventing the filter component from being clogged by dust."

[0004] Based on the aforementioned technologies, the applicant believes that existing junction boxes for power plant thermal instruments lack a mechanism for securing the wires after connection, leaving the wire connections directly exposed. This makes the wires prone to short circuits or breakage when pulled, and there are certain shortcomings in actual use. To address these issues, we have developed a junction box for power plant thermal instruments. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and marked in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] The junction box for power plant thermal instruments disclosed in this utility model is mainly used in junction box scenarios.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 5 A junction box for thermal instruments in a power plant includes a box body 1. A fixing plate 2 is fixedly connected inside the box body 1. A first clamping plate 3 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the outside of the fixing plate 2. A fixing mechanism is symmetrically provided inside the box body 1. The fixing mechanism includes a sliding rod 41, which is fixedly connected inside the box body 1. A second clamping plate 46 is provided inside the box body 1. A fixing block 42 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the outside of the second clamping plate 46. A connecting rod 47 is symmetrically rotatably connected to the outside of both fixing blocks 42. A rotating rod 43 is rotatably connected to the other end of both connecting rods 47. A sliding disk 44 is symmetrically slidably connected to the outside of the sliding rod 41. A spring 45 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod 41. The two ends of the spring 45 are fixedly connected to the two sliding disks 44 respectively. An arc-shaped groove is opened on the side of the first clamping plate 3 and the second clamping plate 46 that are close to each other.

[0031] In this embodiment: the second clamping plate 46 is pulled away from the first clamping plate 3. The second clamping plate 46 drives the two fixing blocks 42 to move. The moving fixing blocks 42 press the two connecting rods 47. The connecting rods 47 push the two sliding discs 44 to slide towards each other. The spring 45 is compressed. Then the wire is placed between the first clamping plate 3 and the second clamping plate 46. The hand pulling the second clamping plate 46 is released. Under the tension of the spring 45, the second clamping plate 46 is pushed towards the first clamping plate 3. The first clamping plate 3 and the second clamping plate 46 cooperate to clamp and fix the wire inside the box 1. Through the fixed mechanism, the wire inside the junction box can be fixed and positioned, avoiding the wire from being directly exposed and short-circuited or broken due to pulling or touching. This improves the safety of the junction box. The structure is simple and highly practical.

[0032] In the above technical solution, considering that existing power plant thermal instrument junction boxes lack a fixing mechanism for the wires after connection, leaving the wire connections directly exposed, the wires are prone to short circuits or breakage when pulled. To solve this problem, the specific operation is as follows:

[0033] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 5 In a preferred embodiment, the top of the box body 1 is provided with a cover 5, and the bottom of the cover 5 is provided with a slot 6, inside which a rubber pad for increasing friction is fixedly connected. A transparent observation window 7 is provided on the top of the cover 5. Wire guard rings 8, made of rubber, are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the box body 1. Ventilation slots 9 are arranged in a rectangular array on both sides of the box body 1. Mounting holes 10 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the bottom of the box body 1.

[0034] In this embodiment: the cover 5 protects the box body 1; the slot 6 allows the box body 1 and the cover 5 to be installed together; the observation window 7 allows observation of the inside of the box body 1; the wire protection ring 8 reduces friction between the wire and the box body 1; the ventilation slot 9 allows for ventilation and heat dissipation of the inside of the box body 1; and the mounting hole 10 facilitates the installation and fixing of the box body 1 by the operator.

[0035] Working principle: In actual use, the operator fixes the box 1 in the required position, passes the wires to be connected through the wire guards 8 at both ends, connects the wires inside the box 1, and then pulls the second clamping plate 46 away from the first clamping plate 3. The second clamping plate 46 drives the two fixing blocks 42 to move. The moving fixing blocks 42 squeeze the two connecting rods 47, and the connecting rods 47 push the two sliding discs 44 to slide towards each other. The spring 45 is compressed. Then the wire is placed between the first clamping plate 3 and the second clamping plate 46. The operator releases the hand that pulled the second clamping plate 46. Under the tension of the spring 45, the second clamping plate 46 is pushed towards the first clamping plate 3. The first clamping plate 3 and the second clamping plate 46 work together to clamp and fix the wire inside the box 1.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
