Abstract

The present application provides a cable threading component and a sealing box. The cable threading component comprises: a substrate comprising a plurality of through holes; a sealing sheet comprising a plurality of sealing holes corresponding to positions of the through holes on the substrate; and a mounting plate comprising a plurality of guide holes corresponding to positions of the through holes on the substrate; wherein, when the mounting plate is attached to the substrate, the sealing sheet is pressed between the substrate and the mounting plate, and the plurality of through holes of the substrate, the plurality of sealing holes of the sealing sheet, and the plurality of guide holes of the mounting plate are aligned to form threading holes.

Claims (30)

1. A cable threading component, comprising:

a substrate, comprising a plurality of through holes;

a sealing sheet, comprising a plurality of sealing holes corresponding to positions of the through holes on the substrate; and

a mounting plate, comprising a plurality of guide holes corresponding to positions of the through holes on the substrate;

wherein, when the mounting plate is attached to the substrate, the sealing sheet is pressed between the substrate and the mounting plate, and the plurality of through holes of the substrate, the plurality of sealing holes of the sealing sheet, and the plurality of guide holes of the mounting plate are aligned to form threading holes, where the guide hole has an inner diameter larger than that of the through hole to allow cable to pass through the threading hole from side of the mounting plate;

wherein, the sealing hole comprises a tubular portion extending into the through hole, and a sealing core is provided inside the tubular portion, so that the sealing hole is closed before threading, and the sealing core peels off and position of the sealing core is occupied by the cable when the cable passes through;

wherein the sealing sheet has an outer circumferential sealing ring surrounding the plurality of sealing holes on the side facing the substrate, and the mounting plate comprises an outer circumferential protrusion corresponding to the outer circumferential sealing ring and inner protrusions surrounding respective sealing holes on the side facing the sealing sheet, where the outer circumferential protrusion and the inner protrusions abut against the sealing sheet.

2. The cable threading component according to claim 1 , wherein each sealing hole of the sealing sheet comprises an inlet end that abuts the through hole, a tubular portion extending into the through hole, and a transition portion between the inlet end and the tubular portion, and optionally, the transition portion gradually tapers from the inlet end to the tubular portion.

3. The cable threading component according to claim 2 , wherein the plurality of threading holes comprise more than 4 threading holes, and optionally, the plurality of threading holes comprise more than 6 threading holes.

4. The cable threading component according to claim 1 , wherein an outer diameter of the tubular portion is smaller than an inner diameter of the through hole, and optionally, the outer diameter of the tubular portion is 0.5 mm-1.5 mm smaller than the inner diameter of the through hole, and optionally, a length of the tubular portion is greater than 80% of the inner diameter of the tubular portion.

5. The cable threading component according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing core comprises a central reinforcing portion and an annular thinning portion on an outer ring of the central reinforcing portion, and optionally, the central reinforcing portion is in a convex shape in the cross section.

6. The cable threading component according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate has a recess to accommodate the sealing sheet and the mounting plate, and optionally, the mounting plate, the sealing sheet, and the substrate have bolt holes in corresponding positions, and the mounting plate is fixed to the substrate by bolts.

7. The cable threading component according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing sheet is made of silicone rubber or thermoplastic polyurethane rubber, and Shore A hardness of the sealing sheet is in a range of 55° to 65°.

8. The cable threading component according to claim 1 , wherein the tubular portion of the sealing hole provides IP66 level dust and water resistance when its inner diameter is stretched to 108% to 170% by a cable.

9. A sealing box, comprising the cable threading component according to claim 1 .

10. A method, comprising:

providing a substrate, comprising a plurality of through holes;

providing a sealing sheet, comprising a plurality of sealing holes corresponding to positions of the through holes on the substrate; and

providing a mounting plate, comprising a plurality of guide holes corresponding to positions of the through holes on the substrate;

attaching the mounting plate to the substrate, wherein the sealing sheet is pressed between the substrate and the mounting plate, and the plurality of through holes of the substrate, the plurality of sealing holes of the sealing sheet, and the plurality of guide holes of the mounting plate are aligned to form threading holes, where the guide hole has an inner diameter larger than that of the through hole to allow cable to pass through the threading hole from side of the mounting plate;

wherein, the sealing hole comprises a tubular portion extending into the through hole, and a sealing core is provided inside the tubular portion, so that the sealing hole is closed before threading, and the sealing core peels off and position of the sealing core is occupied by the cable when the cable passes through;

wherein the sealing sheet has an outer circumferential sealing ring surrounding the plurality of sealing holes on the side facing the substrate, and the mounting plate comprises an outer circumferential protrusion corresponding to the outer circumferential sealing ring and inner protrusions surrounding respective sealing holes on the side facing the sealing sheet, where the outer circumferential protrusion and the inner protrusions abut against the sealing sheet.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein each sealing hole of the sealing sheet comprises an inlet end that abuts the through hole, a tubular portion extending into the through hole, and a transition portion between the inlet end and the tubular portion, and wherein, the transition portion gradually tapers from the inlet end to the tubular portion.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the plurality of threading holes comprise more than 4 threading holes, and wherein, the plurality of threading holes comprise more than 6 threading holes.

13. The method according to claim 10 , wherein an outer diameter of the tubular portion is smaller than an inner diameter of the through hole, and optionally, the outer diameter of the tubular portion is 0.5 mm-1.5 mm smaller than the inner diameter of the through hole, and wherein, a length of the tubular portion is greater than 80% of the inner diameter of the tubular portion.

14. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the sealing core comprises a central reinforcing portion and an annular thinning portion on an outer ring of the central reinforcing portion, and wherein, the central reinforcing portion is in a convex shape in the cross section.

15. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the substrate has a recess to accommodate the sealing sheet and the mounting plate, and optionally, the mounting plate, the sealing sheet, and the substrate have bolt holes in corresponding positions, and the mounting plate is fixed to the substrate by bolts.
