Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable junction box technology, specifically a cable routing quick plug-in used in cable junction boxes. Background Technology
[0002] Cable junction boxes are specialized equipment used for branching connections of cable lines in power systems. They are mainly installed in outdoor high-voltage or low-voltage power distribution lines to realize the function of splitting one cable input into multiple outputs. They are convenient to connect, reliable in protection, economical and flexible, and are key node equipment in outdoor cable distribution networks.
[0003] An investigation revealed that a Chinese utility model patent (publication number: CN220934775U) discloses a cable routing device, including a cable reel. The outer surface of the cable reel has a cable passage. A reel frame is fixedly connected to the top of the cable reel, and a horizontal plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of the reel frame. A limiting groove is formed on the outer surface of the horizontal plate, and a retaining plate is slidably connected to the outer surface of the horizontal plate via a limiting mechanism. A base plate is rotatably connected to the bottom of the retaining plate via a corner mechanism. The outer surface of the base plate is provided with a classification mechanism for grouping and categorizing cables. In use, this cable routing device allows a single cable to pass through the corresponding cable passage. After passing through the passage, cables of the same type are grouped together by the classification mechanism. Multiple cables of the same type passing through the grouping holes are grouped together, preventing cables from being tangled inside the equipment and facilitating quick and efficient locating of maintenance points after cable sorting.
[0004] Although the aforementioned patent reduces the labor intensity of operators and improves the neatness of cable laying by setting up components such as cable reels and cable passages and through the cooperation of various components, during the cable laying process, some cables are thicker and heavier, and their weight will cause the cables to sag when connecting them. At this time, manual support is still required to ensure stable connection of the connection end. However, the small space inside the box limits the stability of the personnel, which is very detrimental to improving the efficiency of the wiring operation.
[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a quick cable routing plug for use in cable junction boxes to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This utility model provides a quick cable routing plug for use in cable junction boxes, aiming to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cable routing quick plug for use in a cable junction box, comprising a box body, a support base fixedly connected to the bottom end of the box body, and a wiring assembly disposed inside the box body;
[0008] The wiring assembly includes a slide fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide via a slider. A ratchet is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft. A cable tray is rotatably sleeved at the end of the rotating shaft. A pawl is rotatably sleeved on the outer wall of the cable tray via a pin. The pawl abuts against the ratchet. The upper tip of the pawl is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cable tray via a compression spring.
[0009] Preferably, the wiring assembly further includes a return spring fixedly connected to the inner wall of the ribbon cable board, the end of the return spring being fixedly connected to a clamping seat, the outer wall of the clamping seat being rotatably connected to a screw, and the end of the screw being rotatably sleeved with a clamping piece.
[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the box is rotatably connected to a pulley, the bottom end of the box is provided with a cable inlet groove, the inner wall of the cable inlet groove is fixedly connected to a soft brush, and the inner wall of the box is provided with a limit component.
[0011] Preferably, the limiting component includes an installation strip installed on the inner wall of the housing, the outer wall of the installation strip is fixedly connected to a limiting seat, and the inner wall of the limiting seat is engaged with a limiting buckle.
[0012] Preferably, a crash barrier is fixedly connected to the top of the box, and a drainage groove is provided at the top of the crash barrier.
[0013] Preferably, the outer wall of the box is rotatably connected to a box door via a hinge, an indicator light is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the box door, and a handle is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the box door.
[0014] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. The cable tray is connected to a ratchet via a rotating shaft. A pawl, under the action of a compression spring, abuts against the ratchet, forming a one-way rotation locking mechanism. When the cable passes through the cable tray, the ratchet automatically rotates to adjust its angle according to the cable tension, while the pawl prevents the ratchet from rotating in the opposite direction, thus supporting the weight of the cable and preventing it from sagging. This design eliminates the need for continuous manual support of the cable, making it particularly suitable for laying heavy cables and significantly reducing the labor intensity of operators.
[0016] 2. The return spring on the inner wall of the cable tray is connected to the clamping seat. The screw and the clamping plate work together to adjust the clamping force. The return spring allows the clamping seat to automatically fit cables of different thicknesses, and the screw can further fix the cable to ensure stable clamping. This structure is suitable for various specifications of cables and can reduce cable stress damage through elastic buffering.
[0017] 3. The pulleys on the inner wall of the enclosure guide the cable into the enclosure, reducing friction between the cable and the enclosure wall; the soft brush on the inner wall of the cable inlet channel can prevent dust and avoid wear on the cable sheath, making the wiring process smoother, especially in confined spaces, reducing cable jams and improving wiring efficiency.
[0018] 4. The locking structure of the limit seat and limit buckle can group and fix the cables, preventing multiple cables from becoming tangled and messy. Compared with the existing technology that only classifies cables through the cable passage, this design further ensures that the cables are neatly arranged through physical limiting, which facilitates quick location of the line during subsequent maintenance and reduces troubleshooting time.
[0019] 5. The anti-collision plate on the top of the enclosure can resist external impacts and protect internal cables and components; the drainage channel design can guide rainwater to flow down along the edge of the plate, preventing rainwater from seeping into the enclosure, enhancing the waterproof performance of the equipment in outdoor environments, and extending its service life.
[0020] 6. The wiring assembly can be flexibly adjusted in position within the box via a sliding connection between the slide block and the slider. Combined with the angle adjustment of the ratchet, it can adapt to cable distribution boxes of different sizes. The compact structural design avoids occupying too much internal space, solving the problem of inconvenient operation caused by space limitations in existing technologies. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0028] 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.
[0029] This utility model provides a quick cable routing plug for use in cable junction boxes, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, the cable distribution quick-access plug-in used in this cable junction box includes a box body 1, a support base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the box body 1, and a wiring assembly is provided inside the box body 1.
[0030] The wiring assembly includes a slide 2 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. The inner wall of the slide 2 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 4 via a slider 3. A ratchet 5 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 4. A cable tray 6 is rotatably sleeved at the end of the rotating shaft 4. A pawl 8 is rotatably sleeved on the outer wall of the cable tray 6 via a pin 7. The pawl 8 abuts against the ratchet 5. The upper top of the pawl 8 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cable tray 6 via a compression spring 9.
[0031] The wiring assembly also includes a reset spring 10 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the ribbon cable board 6. The end of the reset spring 10 is fixedly connected to a clamping seat 11. The outer wall of the clamping seat 11 is rotatably connected to a screw 12. The end of the screw 12 is rotatably sleeved with a clamping piece 13.
[0032] The inner wall of the housing 1 is rotatably connected to a pulley 14, and the bottom end of the housing 1 is provided with a cable inlet groove 15. A soft brush is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cable inlet groove 15, and a limit component is provided on the inner wall of the housing 1.
[0033] Specifically, the support base provides sufficient support for the housing 1, ensuring its stability during use. The wiring assembly, through the cooperation of various components, improves the operator's wiring efficiency and reduces their labor intensity. The cable to be laid is clamped by the clamping plate 13, and the cable is pressed against the screw 12 by rotation. This then slides the slider 3, moving it within the slide block 2 to below the controller to be installed. Pre-clamping the cable avoids repeated pulling, reducing wiring efficiency. Rotating the cable tray 6 causes it to rotate on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 4, thus rotating the cable to be installed to a vertical position. Since the outer wall of the cable tray 6 abuts against the ratchet 5 on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 4 via the pawl 8, the cable tray 6 does not rotate on its own. This facilitates quick installation of the cable and controller by the operator. After installation, the slider 3 is slid to move the remaining cable to the bottom of the remaining controller to be installed, avoiding obstruction by the first installed cable when connecting the second cable. This component has a simple structure, is highly practical, and can improve wiring efficiency. When the cable is heavy, the pulley 14 on the inner wall of the box 1 can be used to wrap the cable around its outer wall, and the cable can be pulled down instead of lifted, further reducing the labor intensity of the operator. When the cable passes through the inlet groove 15, multiple soft brushes on the inner wall of the inlet groove 15 can remove impurities from the outer wall of the cable, preventing them from adhering to the controller during installation and affecting the normal operation of the junction box, thus further improving the safety of the junction box.
[0034] The limiting component includes an installation strip 16 installed on the inner wall of the housing 1, a limiting seat 17 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the installation strip 16, and a limiting buckle 18 snapped into the inner wall of the limiting seat 17.
[0035] A crash plate 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the box 1, and a drainage groove is provided on the top of the crash plate 19.
[0036] The outer wall of the box 1 is connected to the box door 20 by a hinge. The outer wall of the box door 20 is fixedly connected to an indicator light 21 and a handle.
[0037] Specifically, by setting the limiting components, the installed cables can be limited by the cooperation of the installation strip 16, the limiting seat 17, and the limiting buckle 18. The limiting prevents the cables inside the junction box from shaking when it is moved, while improving the neatness of the wiring and the heat dissipation of the cables. The anti-collision plate 19 set on the top of the box 1 can protect the box 1 to a certain extent by its own material properties, avoiding serious damage to the box 1 caused by falling objects from heights, and further improving the service life of the junction box.
[0038] This utility model achieves automatic support and orderly arrangement of cables through mechanical structural innovation. It not only solves the efficiency bottleneck of manual support, but also improves the practicality and durability of the equipment through protective design and space optimization. It is suitable for outdoor cable splicing scenarios and has significant engineering application value.
[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
