Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engineering safety monitoring, specifically to the structure of a hydraulic engineering monitoring box. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of engineering monitoring, the monitoring cables of monitoring instruments must be collected at a junction box or automated monitoring box after being led out from the instrument for manual or automated observation.

[0003] For automated observation, a certain number of monitoring cables are connected to the automated measurement box and then to the measurement module. The control program operates the measurement module to collect raw data.

[0004] Automated monitoring boxes typically contain a large number of cables, with the number of monitoring cables varying depending on the box's capacity. Each monitoring cable usually contains 4 to 10 core wires, each of which needs to be stripped and individually connected to the measurement module's docking port. Cable ties and clips are typically used to secure and arrange the cables inside the box, and adhesive tape labels are used to identify the cables. This method can easily lead to a chaotic cable arrangement within the box.

[0005] Meanwhile, when troubleshooting a failure to collect data, the cable needs to be unplugged from the measurement module and connected to a manual data reader for manual data collection. If cable ties or buckles are used, the monitoring cable of each instrument needs to be unsecured, separated from the cable bundle, and pulled out of the measuring box, which is very inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a cable organization device that can be installed in an automated monitoring box to address the problems of unsightly exposed cables inside the test box, inconvenient cable plugging and unplugging during maintenance, and messy channel and instrument labels.

[0007] The technical solution of this utility model:

[0008] A cable straightening device for an automated hydraulic monitoring box includes a cable containing multiple core wires. A cable collection box is provided on the side of the measuring module inside the box. Multiple cable lead covers are installed on the outer wall of the cable collection box from top to bottom via a rotating mechanism. The multiple cable lead covers are arranged parallel to each other. After the cable entering the box converges into the cable collection box, it selects a cable lead cover to pass through to its back. The cable is bundled into multiple core wires on the back of the cable lead cover. The end of the cable lead cover has an array of openings, and each core wire selects one opening to pass through.

[0009] The rotating mechanism includes a mounting base and a rotating shaft. The mounting base is fixed to the outer wall of the cable collection box, and the rotating shaft is fixed to the cable lead cover. The rotating shaft mates with the mounting hole on the mounting base.

[0010] The outer wall of the cable junction box has multiple through holes. A cable lead cover is installed at each through hole. The cable enters from the bottom of the cable junction box and then exits through the through hole to the cable lead cover, where it is bundled into multiple core wires.

[0011] The measurement module has multiple sets of sockets. After rotating the cable lead cover close to the measurement module, insert the core wire into the socket.

[0012] The core wire ends have pins or terminals.

[0013] Information such as the cable lead cover, including the cable number, status, and type of the corresponding measuring point of the hydraulic monitoring cable, is affixed to it. The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0014] This invention can keep the monitoring cables inside the test box neat and clearly marked, facilitate the plugging and unplugging of monitoring cables for maintenance, and improve the appearance of the test box. Attached Figure Description

[0018] Example 1: Includes a cable straightening device that can be installed in an automated monitoring box. The device includes: a cable straightening box 1, multiple cable lead covers 2 connected to the straightening box, and a rotating mechanism 3 connecting the lead covers and the straightening box.

[0019] The cable collection box 1 is installed on the box wall by screws or hooks according to the actual space layout of the test box.

[0020] The cable collection box 1 has a cable inlet. The hydraulic monitoring cable 10 pulled into the test box enters the cable collection box 1 through the inlet and is collected in the collection box.

[0021] Cable 10 is led out of cable collection box 1 from the inlet of cable lead cover 2 and fixed by the buckle on cable lead cover 2. Core wire 11 is stripped from the back of lead cover. Finally, core wire 11 is connected through the outlet of lead cover and a pin is installed or plugged into a plug-in terminal. The terminal or pin can be directly inserted into the measurement socket of measurement module 3 of the test box.

[0022] The rotating mechanism 3 mainly includes a mounting base 31 on the cable collection box 1 and a rotating shaft 31 for the cable lead cover 2. The cable lead cover 2 is hinged to the mounting base 31 via the rotating shaft 31, so that the cable lead cover 2 can be rotated at a fixed point via the rotating shaft 31 to rotate the cable end into the box to connect to the measurement module; or rotate it out of the box to facilitate technicians to perform manual measurement and troubleshooting of the cable.

[0023] Depending on the actual layout inside the box, the cable lead cover can have a multi-layered structure, including upper and lower, inner and outer layers.

[0024] Information such as the number, status, and type of the corresponding measuring point of the hydraulic monitoring cable can be pasted on the cable lead cover.

[0025] Example 2:

[0026] A cable straightening device for an automated hydraulic monitoring box includes a cable 10 containing multiple core wires 11. A cable collection box 1 is provided on the side of the measurement module 3 inside the box. Multiple cable lead covers 2 are installed on the outer side wall of the cable collection box 1 from top to bottom via a rotating mechanism 3. The multiple cable lead covers 2 are arranged parallel to each other. After the cable 10 entering the box merges into the cable collection box 1, it selects a cable lead cover 2 to pass through to its back. The cable 10 is bundled into multiple core wires 11 on the back of the cable lead cover 2. The end of the cable lead cover 2 has an array of openings, and each core wire 11 selects an opening to pass through.

[0027] The rotating mechanism 3 is a hinge, and the cable lead cover 2 is a hexahedral structure missing its left and rear surfaces. The left end of its upper surface is hinged to the cable collection box 1.

[0028] The outer wall of the cable collection box 1 is provided with multiple through holes. A cable lead cover 2 is installed at each through hole. The cable 10 enters from the bottom of the cable collection box 1 and then exits through the through hole into the cable lead cover 1, where it is bundled into multiple core wires 11.

[0029] The core wire 11 has a pin or terminal block at its end. The measurement module 3 has multiple sets of sockets. After rotating the cable lead cover 2 close to the measurement module 3, insert the core wire 11 into the socket.
