Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an electrical auxiliary material junction box in the field of electrical appliances, in particular to an explosion-proof and corrosion-resistant junction box. Background Art

[0002] Traditional electrical wires consist of conductors and insulating sheaths. When laying wires, if the lines are long or need to turn corners, a junction box is often required for transition. That is, the insulating sheath is fixed to the junction box and the conductors are connected to the terminal blocks in the junction box to protect the wires and prevent people from electric shock.

[0003] For warehouses above Class C, toxic gases such as pesticides in the warehouses may corrode electrical circuits, especially copper; therefore, when laying wires in warehouses above Class C, when spraying insecticide gases, the junction boxes used must have anti-corrosion and explosion-proof functions to prevent corrosion by toxic gases. At present, the laying of wires in warehouses above Class C adopts the open laying method with ordinary junction boxes or commercially available explosion-proof junction boxes. Ordinary junction boxes are generally closed, especially in environments with corrosive gases or dust. Gases can easily invade the gaps in the junction boxes, resulting in reduced insulation of the wires or corrosion of the box body, which requires frequent maintenance, and in severe cases, the lines need to be replaced. Most of the explosion-proof junction boxes on the market have metal shells, which have limited tolerance to toxic gases. When they are in a toxic gas environment for a long time, the shell of the explosion-proof junction box is easily penetrated by gas and is not easy to inspect and maintain. Summary of the invention
