Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable protection pipe technology, and in particular to a new type of power protection pipe for the Internet of Things. Background Technology

[0002] The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to extending the concept of the internet to connections between physical devices and everyday objects. These devices embed electronic devices, network connections, and other forms of hardware (such as sensors) that can communicate and interact with others via networks and can be monitored remotely.

[0003] In existing technologies, power protection pipes are typically equipped with Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities to facilitate inspection. This means that electronic components are installed inside the pipe to monitor its operational status and the condition of the cables within. These electronic components often require maintenance, hence the inclusion of a maintenance box on the pipe for access. The maintenance box is usually positioned upwards for easy access. However, existing protection pipes typically use flanges for direct connection, secured with bolts. This connection method requires high precision in pipe manufacturing during installation. Misalignment of bolt holes can prevent pipe splicing, or necessitate rotating the pipe before splicing. Rotation can cause the maintenance box to shift, making electronic component maintenance difficult.

[0004] Therefore, the existing power protection pipes have the technical problem of unreasonable connection methods. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This utility model provides a new type of power protection pipe for the Internet of Things, which solves the technical problem of unreasonable connection methods of power protection pipes in the prior art.

[0006] Some implementation schemes for solving the above-mentioned technical problems include: A novel power protection pipe for the Internet of Things, comprising a pipe body; A protective component is disposed outside the tube body; A maintenance box is disposed on the pipe body, and the maintenance box is disposed on the upper side of the pipe body; and a connecting component, wherein the connecting component connects the two pipe bodies spliced ​​end to end; The connecting assembly includes a ring body disposed at one end of the tube body and a protruding ring disposed at the other end of the tube body, the protruding ring extending into the ring body.

The specific embodiments include detailed descriptions intended to provide a thorough understanding of the subject matter of this invention. However, it will be clear and apparent to those skilled in the art that the subject matter of this invention is not limited to the specific details shown herein and can be practiced without these specific details.

[0031] Understandably, in this document, relational terms such as “first” and “second” are intended to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and are not intended to expressly or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.

[0032] The terms “comprising,” “including,” or any other variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase “comprising one…” does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a new type of power protection pipe for the Internet of Things includes a pipe body 1; Protection component 2, which is disposed outside the tube body 1; Inspection box 3 is disposed on the pipe body 1, and the inspection box 3 is disposed on the upper side of the pipe body 1; and a connecting component, wherein the connecting component connects the two pipe bodies 1 spliced ​​end to end; The connecting assembly includes a ring body 11 disposed at one end of the tube body 1 and a protruding ring 12 disposed at the other end of the tube body 1. The protruding ring 12 extends into the ring body 11. The connecting assembly also includes a connecting ring 13 disposed in the tube body 1. The connecting ring 13 is fixed to the ring body 11 and fixes the protruding ring 12 into the ring body 11. The connecting ring 13 includes an upper half 131 and a lower half 132, wherein the upper half 131 is fixed to the lower half 132 by a screw 133.

[0034] Specifically, power protection pipes are typically installed underground to protect underground cables. Therefore, power protection pipes should exhibit good stability and a long service life during long-term use. Pipe body 1 is equipped with sensors and other electronic components to monitor the condition of pipe body 1 and the cables within it, while a detection box is used for inspecting and repairing the electronic components installed in pipe body 1.

[0035] Since the pipe body 1 is buried underground, it is more convenient to repair electronic components when the inspection box 3 is facing upwards during the maintenance of the pipe body 1.

[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this scheme uses a connecting ring 13 in conjunction with a ring body 11 and a convex ring 12 to assemble the end-to-end pipe body 1. There is no direct fixation between the convex ring 12 and the ring body 11, and the end-to-end pipe body 1 can rotate relative to each other at a certain angle. During installation or maintenance, the orientation of the inspection box 3 can be easily changed according to needs so that the inspection box is in a more advantageous position for maintenance.

[0037] In some embodiments, the ring body 11 and the tube body 1 are integral structures, and a groove for accommodating the convex ring 12 is formed between the end faces of the ring body 11 and the tube body 1. The groove communicates with the inner cavity of the tube body 1, and the convex ring 12 is located between the connecting ring 13 and the bottom wall of the groove.

[0038] In some embodiments, the convex ring 12 and the tube body 1 are integrally formed, and the outer diameter of the convex ring 12 is larger than the outer diameter of the tube body 1. The height of the protective component 2 protruding from the tube body 1 can be greater than or equal to the height of the ring 11 protruding from the tube body 1, so that the protective component 2 can effectively protect the tube body 1 and the ring 11 and prevent damage to the ring 11.

[0039] In some embodiments, the ring body 11 is provided with an annular groove 111, the depth direction of the annular groove 111 is provided along the axial direction of the ring body 11, and the connecting ring 13 is provided with an annular ridge 121 extending into the annular groove 111.

[0040] The cross-sectional shape of the annular ridge 121 is rectangular. The annular ridge 121 is used to increase the contact area between the ring body 11 and the convex ring 12, so that the ring body 11 and the convex ring 12 have higher coaxiality, which facilitates the installation of the pipe body 1.

[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting ring 13 is fixed to the ring body 11 by screws, the ring body 11 is provided with a screw hole that mates with the screw, and the connecting ring 13 is provided with a through hole through which the screw passes, the through hole penetrating the ring ridge 121.

[0042] In some embodiments, the connecting ring 13 is provided with a groove 134, which is located at the position of the connecting ring 13 corresponding to the ring edge 121, and the ring edge 121 and the connecting ring 13 are of the same type.

[0043] In some embodiments, the connecting ring 13 is provided with an annular groove 135, and the convex ring 12 is provided with an annular ridge 122 extending into the annular groove 135.

[0044] The annular groove 135 and annular ridge 122 provide a larger contact area between the connecting ring 13 and the convex ring 12, thereby improving the connection strength between the convex ring 12 and the connecting ring 13. The connecting ring 13 can more stably limit the axial position of the convex ring 12 relative to the pipe body 1, resulting in a higher connection strength between the two pipe bodies 1 joined end to end.

[0045] In some embodiments, the annular ridge 122 and the convex ring 12 are integral structures, and the cross-sectional shape of the annular ridge 122 is rectangular.

[0046] Reference Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the protective component 2 includes an elastic cylinder 21 that is in surface contact with the tube body 1. The elastic cylinder 21 is uniformly arranged along the circumference of the tube body 1. Each elastic cylinder 21 is provided with a support rib 22 to support the elastic cylinder 21. The elastic cylinder 21 is bonded to the tube body 1, or the elastic cylinder 21 and the tube body 1 are an integral structure.

[0047] Understandably, the protective component 2 is used to protect the tube body 1. When the tube body 1 is applied to a vibrating environment, the protective component 2 can have a buffering function. In this case, the support rib 22 can also be set as elastic, that is, the support rib 22 is made of elastic material. The support rib 22 can be an integral structure with the elastic cylinder 21.

[0048] When the tube body 1 is used in an environment with high strength requirements, the support rib 22 can be made of metal to give the tube body 1 higher strength. The support rib 22 can be installed on the elastic cylinder 21 by bonding or fusion.

[0049] The number of elastic cylinders 21 is not limited and can be reasonably determined according to needs.

[0050] Reference Figures 1 to 7As shown, there is a gap between two adjacent elastic cylinders 21. The maintenance box 3 can be disposed in the gap to prevent damage to the maintenance box 3. In some embodiments, the maintenance box 3 includes a box body 31 disposed on the tube body 1. The box body 31 is provided with a box cover 32. The box body 31 is provided with an extension ring protruding from the box body 31. The box cover 32 is provided with a receiving groove for accommodating the extension ring. The height of the box cover 32 protruding from the tube body 1 is less than the height of the protective component 2 protruding from the tube body 1.

[0051] The lid 32 can be fixed to the box body 31 by threads. Furthermore, the threads fixing the lid 32 are offset from the extension ring and located outside the extension ring.

[0052] In some embodiments, a sealing gasket may be provided between the lid 32 and the body 31.

[0053] The above describes the subject matter technical solution of this utility model and its corresponding details. It is understood that the above description is only some implementation schemes of the subject matter technical solution of this utility model, and some details may be omitted in the specific implementation.

[0054] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the above utility model, multiple embodiments may be combined; however, due to space limitations, all such combinations will not be listed here. Those skilled in the art can freely combine the above embodiments according to their needs to achieve a better application experience.
