Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of intelligent distribution boxes, and in particular to an intelligent distribution box. Background Art

[0002] In the related art, indicator lights are set in ordinary distribution boxes, which only serve as a prompt to indicate whether there is any abnormality in the distribution box. Especially for some distribution boxes with multiple inputs and outputs, various load modules and input modules can be connected. After the distribution box is connected to some modules, the user cannot understand the operating status of the corresponding modules through the distribution box, thereby reducing the user experience. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve or improve the technical problem that the above-mentioned distribution box cannot display the operating status of the module to the user after connecting other modules, an object of the present invention is to provide an intelligent distribution box.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the first aspect of the present invention provides an intelligent distribution box, comprising: a box body, a mounting opening being provided on one side of the box body; an inner door panel being arranged in the box body, the space in the box body being divided into an electric control cavity and a display cavity by the inner door panel; a control panel being arranged in the electric control cavity; at least one input module being arranged in the electric control cavity, the input module being electrically connected to the control panel, and the input module being used to connect an input cable; a load metering panel being arranged in the box body, the load metering panel comprising a plurality of controllable load circuits, and the controllable load circuits being used to connect an electrical load; a light panel being electrically connected to the control panel, a plurality of indicator lights being provided on the light panel, at least one indicator light being related to the operating status of the input module, and at least one indicator light being related to the operating status of the electrical load; a visual window being arranged on the inner door panel, and a projection of at least one indicator light on the inner door panel being located in the visual window.

[0005] According to the intelligent distribution box provided by the present application, the box space can be layered by setting an inner door panel. After opening the box, the user can directly see the indicator light through the visual window on the inner door panel, and then understand the operating status of the corresponding module, which is convenient for the user to quickly grasp the equipment status. Specifically, the intelligent distribution box includes a box body, an inner door panel, a control panel, a load metering panel and a light panel. The box body serves as the external structure of the entire distribution box. The box body provides a closed and safe environment for protecting the internal electrical components. At the same time, by setting a mounting port on one side of the box body, it is easier to install, replace and maintain the internal components. The inner door panel divides the internal space of the box into an electric control cavity and a display cavity. Among them, the electric control cavity is used to accommodate and protect the control panel and input module, while the display cavity is used to display the status of the indicator light. The layered design of the door panel separates the electrical components from the user interface, which not only ensures safety but also facilitates user monitoring.

[0006] It can be understood that the control panel is the core control unit of the entire distribution box, which is responsible for processing input signals and controlling the status of indicator lights on the light panel, ensuring that users can understand the operation of the input module and the power load through the indicator lights. Among them, the input module is installed in the electric control cavity and is electrically connected to the control panel. It is mainly responsible for receiving input signals from the outside (such as AC input, photovoltaic input, etc.) and transmitting these signals to the control panel for processing. The load metering panel includes multiple controllable load circuits for connecting and managing various power loads. It can monitor and control the current, voltage and other parameters of the load, and feed this information back to the control panel.

[0007] It should be emphasized that in this solution, multiple indicator lights are installed on the light board, and each indicator light corresponds to the operating status of a different input module or power load. The light board is electrically connected to the control board, and the control board controls the specific switch status of the indicator light to reflect the actual working status. The visual window is set on the inner door panel, and the position is designed so that the projection of at least one indicator light is located in the visual window. The user can directly observe the indicator light through the visual window on the inner door panel without opening the entire box, which can significantly improve the user's visual monitoring ability of the operating status of the distribution box and its connection modules, and improve the convenience and safety of operation.

[0008] In the above technical solution, optionally, the electric control cavity includes a control cavity, an input cavity and a load cavity distributed along a first direction, the control board and the light board are arranged in the control cavity, the input module is arranged in the input cavity, and the metering load board is arranged in the load cavity; wherein, a first signal terminal is provided on the light board, and a second signal terminal is provided on the control board, and when the first signal terminal is connected to the second signal terminal, the control board is used to control at least one indicator light to display the operating status of the intelligent distribution box.

[0009] In this technical solution, the electric control cavity is divided into a control cavity, an input cavity and a load cavity, and the three are distributed along a first direction. A control board and a light board are provided in the control cavity. The control board is responsible for processing the power signal from the input module and controlling the indicator light on the light board to display the operating status of the distribution box. The light board is used to intuitively display the operating status of different input modules and power loads through multiple indicator lights arranged thereon.

[0010] The first signal terminal on the lamp board is connected to the second signal terminal on the control board, so that the control board is allowed to control the switch of the indicator light according to the state of the input module.

[0011] In addition, an input module is provided in the input cavity. The function of the input module is to connect the external power supply to the distribution box, ensure the effective distribution of electric energy, and transmit the electric energy to the load metering board. The independent design of the input cavity makes the installation and maintenance of the input module more convenient, while ensuring the electrical safety and stability of the input module. The load cavity is provided with a load metering board and multiple controllable load circuits provided on the load metering board. The controllable load circuits are used to connect and manage the electrical loads. Under the action of the load metering board, the current and voltage status of each load can be monitored, and the relevant information can be fed back to the control board.

[0012] Through the connection between the first signal terminal on the lamp board and the second signal terminal on the control board, the control board controls the state of the indicator light according to the power supply state provided by the input module, reflecting the overall operation of the distribution box.

[0013] Through this compartment design, the intelligent distribution box not only improves the utilization efficiency of the internal space, but also improves the maintainability and operation stability of each functional module. The independent setting of each cavity minimizes the interference between modules and facilitates modular management and maintenance for users. This design further improves the overall performance and user experience of the intelligent distribution box.

[0014] The above technical solution may optionally include: a cover rotatably connected to the box body to open and close the installation opening.

[0015] The cover can be connected to the box body through a hinge or other rotating mechanism, and can rotate around the shaft to open and close the installation port. In the closed state, the cover provides physical protection for the internal components of the box body to prevent the intrusion of dust, moisture and other external environmental factors. Through the rotating connection, the cover can be easily opened and closed, which is convenient for users to inspect, maintain and operate. When the user needs to observe the indicator light, he only needs to open the cover. If he needs to inspect and maintain the internal components, he can continue to open the inner door panel on the basis of opening the cover to perform maintenance operations.

[0016] After opening the cover, the user can directly see the visual window on the inner door panel and observe the status of the internal indicator light.

[0017] In the above technical solution, optionally, the power load includes a charging gun assembly, a third signal terminal is provided on the load metering board, and a fourth signal terminal is provided on the charging gun assembly. After the third signal terminal is connected to the fourth signal terminal and the power line of the charging gun assembly is connected to at least one controllable load circuit, the control board is used to control at least one indicator light to display an operating status related to the charging gun assembly.

[0018] The power load refers to the equipment connected to the distribution box and powered by it. In this design, the charging gun assembly is a specific power load. The charging gun assembly is used to provide charging services for electric vehicles or other equipment. By connecting to the smart distribution box, the charging gun assembly can receive power from the distribution box.

[0019] The charging gun assembly is connected to the controllable load circuit on the load metering board through a power line to ensure that it can obtain a stable power supply. A third signal terminal is provided on the load metering board for communication with the fourth signal terminal of the charging gun assembly, so that the load metering board can monitor the operating status of the charging gun assembly, including parameters such as charging current and voltage, and feed this information back to the control board.

[0020] After receiving the data from the load metering board, the control board can control the indicator light on the light board to display the operating status of the charging gun assembly (such as charging, charging completed or fault, etc.).

[0021] By integrating the charging gun assembly into the intelligent distribution box and designing a reasonable signal connection and monitoring mechanism, the system realizes effective management and status display of the charging process. Users can easily understand the charging status through the indicator light, which improves the intelligence and user-friendliness of the system.

[0022] In the above technical solution, optionally, the controllable load circuit includes a load circuit breaker, and one end of the power line is connected to the load circuit breaker; a first opening adapted to the load circuit breaker is provided on the inner door panel, and part of the input circuit breaker extends out of the first opening.

[0023] The load circuit breaker mainly plays the role of protecting the circuit. When an abnormal situation such as overload or short circuit occurs in the circuit, the load circuit breaker can automatically cut off the circuit to prevent the circuit failure from causing more serious safety problems, such as electrical fires. Among them, one end of the power line is connected to the load circuit breaker, so that the power can be transmitted from the distribution box to the power load (such as the charging gun component, etc.). The load circuit breaker plays the role of controlling and protecting the power transmission in this connection. It can decide whether to allow the power to continue to be transmitted to the load end according to the actual situation of the circuit (such as the current size).

[0024] The first opening provided on the inner door panel provides a specific spatial layout for the load circuit breaker, so that a part of the load circuit breaker can be extended.

[0025] Part of the input circuit breaker extends out of the first opening, and this design facilitates the user to operate and view the status of the load circuit breaker. For example, the user can directly manually operate the extended input circuit breaker (such as closing and opening operations) without opening the entire inner door panel, and can intuitively view its status (such as whether it is tripped, etc.).

[0026] The inner door panel divides the box space into layers, and the position of the first opening matches the load circuit breaker. This positional relationship forms an organic combination between the load circuit breaker and the inner door panel. On the one hand, the inner door panel still plays the role of layered protection, separating the electric control cavity and the display cavity; on the other hand, the load circuit breaker is partially extended through the first opening, which makes operation and viewing more convenient, while not affecting the overall protection function of the inner door panel.

[0027] In the above technical solution, optionally, the input module includes a mains input module, the mains input module is used to connect the mains input cable, the mains input module is connected to the control board signal, the control board is used to monitor or control the mains input module, and the control board is used to control at least one indicator light to display the operating status related to the mains input module.

[0028] The AC input module is used to connect the AC input cable and introduce the AC power into the intelligent distribution box as one of the power sources of the distribution box. The AC input module is directly connected to the AC input cable to ensure that the distribution box can obtain AC power supply. At the same time, the AC input module establishes a signal connection with the control panel, so that the control panel can monitor the working status of the AC input module in real time.

[0029] The control panel can monitor the various parameters of the mains input module in real time, such as voltage, current, power, etc., to ensure the stability and safety of the mains input. Based on the monitored data, the control panel can perform corresponding control operations on the mains input module. For example, when the mains power is abnormal, the mains input can be cut off in time to protect the distribution box and connected equipment.

[0030] The control panel controls at least one indicator light to display relevant information according to the operating status of the AC input module. For example, when the AC input is normal, the corresponding indicator light is green; when the AC input is abnormal, the corresponding indicator light is red or flashes to remind the user that there is a problem with the AC input.

[0031] In the above technical solution, optionally, the input module includes an oil-electric input module, the oil-electric input module is used to connect the oil-electric input cable, the oil-electric input module is connected to the control panel signal, the control panel is used to monitor or control the oil-electric input module, and the control panel is used to control at least one indicator light to display the operating status related to the oil-electric input module.

[0032] The oil-electric input module is used to connect the oil-electric input cable and introduce the oil-electric energy into the intelligent distribution box. The oil-electric input module is directly connected to the oil-electric input cable to ensure that the distribution box can obtain the oil-electric energy supply. Through the signal connection between the oil-electric input module and the control panel, the control panel can monitor the various parameters of the oil-electric input module in real time, such as voltage, current, power, etc., to ensure the stability and safety of the oil-electric input.

[0033] According to the monitored data, the control panel can perform corresponding control operations on the oil-electric input module. For example, when the oil-electric input is abnormal, the oil-electric input is cut off in time to protect the distribution box and connected equipment.

[0034] The control panel controls at least one indicator light to display relevant information according to the operating status of the oil-electric input module. For example, when the oil-electric input is normal, the corresponding indicator light displays a specific color or status; when the oil-electric input fails, the indicator light will change the display mode accordingly to remind the user that there is a problem with the oil-electric input.

[0035] In the above technical solution, optionally, the input module includes an input circuit breaker, and the input circuit breaker is used to connect the input cable; a second opening adapted to the input circuit breaker is provided on the inner door panel, and part of the input circuit breaker extends out of the second opening.

[0036] The input circuit breaker is used to control and protect the circuit connected to the input cable. It can automatically cut off the circuit when the circuit is overloaded, short-circuited or other abnormal conditions occur to prevent equipment damage and electrical accidents. It can be understood that the input circuit breaker is connected to the input cable to ensure that electrical energy can be smoothly transmitted from the external power supply to other components in the distribution box.

[0037] In addition, by providing a second opening matched with the input circuit breaker on the inner door plate, a part of the input circuit breaker can extend out of the second opening.

[0038] Part of the input circuit breaker extends out of the second opening, which is convenient for users to directly operate the input circuit breaker, such as closing and opening, without opening the entire distribution box, thereby improving the convenience of operation.

[0039] It can be understood that the extended input circuit breaker allows the user to intuitively see its status, such as whether it is in the closed or open position, and whether there are abnormal conditions such as tripping, so that the user can understand the working status of the circuit in a timely manner.

[0040] In the above technical solution, optionally, the control panel is used to connect to the photovoltaic power generation module, and at least one indicator light is related to the operating status of the photovoltaic power generation module.

[0041] The control panel is connected to the photovoltaic power generation module, so that the control panel can effectively monitor and manage the photovoltaic power generation module. The output power, voltage, current and other parameters of the photovoltaic power generation module will change with environmental factors such as light intensity and temperature. The control panel can obtain these parameter information in real time, thereby realizing refined control of the photovoltaic power generation module.

[0042] In the intelligent distribution box, the control panel is the core control unit. Connecting the photovoltaic power generation module helps to integrate the electricity generated by photovoltaic power generation with other input energy sources (such as city electricity, oil electricity, etc.). It can reasonably allocate electricity and improve energy utilization efficiency according to the overall power demand of the distribution box and the supply of various energy sources.

[0043] At least one indicator light is associated with the operating status of the photovoltaic power generation module, which provides users with an intuitive visual monitoring method. The operating status of the photovoltaic power generation system is affected by many factors, including light conditions, the health of the photovoltaic components, circuit connections, etc. Through the indicator light, users can quickly understand whether the photovoltaic power generation module is operating normally without complex testing equipment.

[0044] In addition, when a photovoltaic power generation module fails, such as a photovoltaic panel damage that reduces power generation efficiency, or a circuit failure that affects power output, the indicator light related to the operating status can send a signal in time. For example, the indicator light may flash or change color to remind the user that the photovoltaic power generation module needs inspection and maintenance, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the entire intelligent distribution box system.

[0045] In the above technical solution, optionally, the control panel is used to connect an energy storage device electrically connected to the photovoltaic power generation module, and at least one indicator light is related to the operating status of the energy storage device.

[0046] The control panel is connected to the energy storage device that is electrically connected to the photovoltaic power generation module. The energy storage device plays the role of energy storage and regulation in the entire intelligent distribution box system. For example, when the photovoltaic power generation module generates excess power, the energy storage device can be charged under the control of the control panel to store excess power; and when the photovoltaic power generation module generates insufficient power or the power load demand suddenly increases, the energy storage device can be discharged under the dispatch of the control panel to meet the load demand.

[0047] The connection and management of energy storage devices by the control panel can help improve the stability of the entire intelligent distribution box system. Energy storage devices can smooth the fluctuations in the output power of photovoltaic power generation modules and reduce the instability of power supply caused by factors such as changes in light. The control panel can reasonably arrange the working mode of the energy storage device according to parameters such as the power state and charging and discharging performance of the energy storage device, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the entire system.

[0048] At least one indicator light is related to the operating status of the energy storage device, providing intuitive operating status information of the energy storage device. The operating status of the energy storage device includes multiple aspects such as charging status, discharging status, power level, whether there is a fault, etc. Through the indicator light, the user can quickly understand the working status of the energy storage device without the help of complex detection instruments.

[0049] Additional aspects and advantages of the technical solutions of the present invention will become apparent in the following description or will be understood through the practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0061] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0062] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the embodiments of the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0063] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 9 An intelligent distribution box and a power distribution system provided according to some embodiments of the present invention are described.

[0064] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides an intelligent distribution box 100, and the space of the box 102 can be divided into layers by setting an inner door panel 104. After the user opens the box 102, Figure 6 As shown, the indicator light 1122 can be directly seen through the visual window on the inner door panel 104, and the operating status of the corresponding module can be understood, so that the user can quickly understand the equipment status. Figure 4 As shown, the intelligent distribution box 100 includes a box body 102, an inner door panel 104, a control panel 106, a load metering panel 110 and a light panel 112. The box body 102 is the external structure of the entire distribution box. The box body 102 provides a closed and safe environment for protecting the internal electrical components. At the same time, by providing an installation port 1022 on one side of the box body 102, it is more convenient to install, replace and maintain the internal components. Figure 3As shown, the inner door panel 104 divides the internal space of the box body 102 into an electric control chamber 105 and a display chamber 1042. The electric control chamber 105 is used to accommodate and protect the control board 106 and the input module 108, while the display chamber 1042 is used to display the status of the indicator light 1122. The layered design of the door panel separates the electrical components from the user interface, which ensures safety and facilitates user monitoring.

[0065] It can be understood that the control panel 106 is the core control unit of the entire distribution box, which is responsible for processing input signals and controlling the status of the indicator light 1122 on the light panel 112, ensuring that the user can understand the operation of the input module 108 and the power load through the indicator light 1122. Among them, the input module 108 is installed in the electric control cavity 105 and is electrically connected to the control panel 106. It is mainly responsible for receiving input signals from the outside (such as AC input, photovoltaic input, etc.) and transmitting these signals to the control panel 106 for processing. The load metering panel 110 includes a plurality of controllable load circuits 1102, which are used to connect and manage various power loads, and can monitor and control the current, voltage and other parameters of the load, and feed this information back to the control panel 106.

[0066] It should be emphasized that in this solution, a plurality of indicator lights 1122 are installed on the light board 112, and each indicator light 1122 corresponds to the operating status of a different input module 108 or electrical load. The light board 112 is electrically connected to the control board 106, and the control board 106 controls the specific switch status of the indicator lights 1122 to reflect the actual working status. The visual window is provided on the inner door panel 104, and the position is designed so that the projection of at least one indicator light 1122 is located in the visual window. The user can directly observe the indicator light 1122 through the visual window on the inner door panel 104 without opening the entire box body 102, thereby significantly improving the user's ability to visually monitor the operating status of the distribution box and its connection modules, and improving the convenience and safety of operation.

[0067] In some embodiments, optionally, the electrical control cavity 105 is divided into a control cavity 1052, an input cavity 1054 and a load cavity 1056, and the three are distributed along a first direction, wherein a control board 106 and a light board 112 are provided in the control cavity 1052, and the control board 106 is responsible for processing the power signal from the input module 108 and controlling the indicator light 1122 on the light board 112 to display the operating status of the distribution box, and the light board 112 is used to intuitively display the operating status of different input modules 108 and power loads through a plurality of indicator lights 1122 arranged thereon.

[0068] Among them, Figure 4As shown, the first signal terminal 1162 on the light board 112 is connected to the second signal terminal 1164 on the control board 106 , allowing the control board 106 to control the switch of the indicator light 1122 according to the state of the input module 108 .

[0069] In addition, an input module 108 is provided in the input cavity 1054. The function of the input module 108 is to connect the external power supply to the distribution box, ensure the effective distribution of electric energy, and transmit the electric energy to the load metering board 110. The independent design of the input cavity 1054 makes the installation and maintenance of the input module 108 more convenient, while ensuring the electrical safety and stability of the input module 108. The load metering board 110 and a plurality of controllable load circuits provided on the load metering board 110 are provided in the load cavity 1056. The controllable load circuits are used to connect and manage the electric loads. Under the action of the load metering board 110, the current and voltage status of each load can be monitored, and the relevant information can be fed back to the control board 106.

[0070] Through the connection between the first signal terminal 1162 on the lamp board 112 and the second signal terminal 1164 on the control board 106, the control board 106 controls the state of the indicator light 1122 according to the power state provided by the input module 108, reflecting the overall operation of the distribution box.

[0071] Through this chamber design, the intelligent distribution box 100 not only improves the utilization efficiency of the internal space, but also improves the maintainability and operation stability of each functional module. The independent setting of each cavity minimizes the interference between modules and facilitates the user to perform modular management and maintenance. This design further improves the overall performance and user experience of the intelligent distribution box 100.

[0072] In some embodiments, optionally, Figure 3 As shown, the cover 118 can be connected to the box body 102 by a hinge or other rotating mechanism, and can rotate around the rotating shaft to open and close the installation port 1022. In the closed state, the cover 118 provides physical protection for the internal components of the box body 102 to prevent the intrusion of dust, moisture and other external environmental factors. Through the rotation connection, the cover 118 can be easily opened and closed, which is convenient for users to inspect, maintain and operate. When the user needs to observe the indicator light 1122, he only needs to open the cover 118. If he needs to inspect and maintain the internal components, he can continue to open the inner door panel 104 on the basis of opening the cover 118 to perform maintenance operations.

[0073] After opening the cover 118 , the user can directly see the visible window on the inner door panel 104 , thereby observing the status of the interior indicator light 1122 .

[0074] The power load refers to a device connected to and powered by the distribution box. In some embodiments, optionally, the charging gun assembly 103 is a specific power load. The charging gun assembly 103 is used to provide charging services for electric vehicles or other devices. By connecting to the smart distribution box 100, the charging gun assembly 103 can receive power from the distribution box.

[0075] Among them, Fig. 9 As shown, the charging gun assembly 103 is connected to the controllable load circuit on the load metering board 110 through a power line to ensure that it can obtain a stable power supply. A third signal terminal 1166 is provided on the load metering board 110 for communication with the fourth signal terminal 1168 of the charging gun assembly 103, so that the load metering board 110 can monitor the operating status of the charging gun assembly 103, including parameters such as charging current and voltage, and feed back this information to the control board 106.

[0076] After receiving the data from the load metering board 110 , the control board 106 can control the indicator light 1122 on the light board 112 to display the operating status of the charging gun assembly 103 (such as charging, charging completed or faulty, etc.).

[0077] By integrating the charging gun assembly 103 into the intelligent distribution box 100 and designing a reasonable signal connection and monitoring mechanism, the system realizes effective management and status display of the charging process. The user can easily understand the charging status through the indicator light 1122, which improves the intelligence and user-friendliness of the system.

[0078] In some embodiments, optionally, the load circuit breaker 120 mainly plays the role of protecting the circuit. When an abnormal situation such as overload or short circuit occurs in the circuit, the load circuit breaker 120 can automatically cut off the circuit to prevent the circuit failure from causing more serious safety problems, such as electrical fires. Among them, one end of the power line is connected to the load circuit breaker 120, so that power can be transmitted from the distribution box to the power load (such as the charging gun assembly, etc.). The load circuit breaker 120 plays the role of controlling and protecting power transmission in this connection. It can decide whether to allow power to continue to be transmitted to the load end according to the actual situation of the circuit (such as the current size).

[0079] like Figure 5 As shown, the first opening 1044 provided on the inner door plate 104 provides a specific spatial layout for the load circuit breaker 120 so that a portion of the load circuit breaker 120 can be extended.

[0080] Part of the input circuit breaker 1086 extends out of the first opening 1044. This design facilitates the user to operate and view the status of the load circuit breaker 120. For example, the user can directly manually operate the extended input circuit breaker 1086 (such as closing and opening operations) without opening the entire inner door panel 104, and can intuitively view its status (such as whether it is tripped, etc.).

[0081] The inner door panel 104 divides the space of the box body 102 into layers, and the position of the first opening 1044 matches the load circuit breaker 120. This positional relationship forms an organic combination between the load circuit breaker 120 and the inner door panel 104. On the one hand, the inner door panel 104 still plays a role of layered protection, separating the electric control cavity 105 and the display cavity 1042; on the other hand, the load circuit breaker 120 is partially extended through the first opening 1044, which realizes the convenience of operation and viewing, and does not affect the overall protection function of the inner door panel 104.

[0082] In some embodiments, optionally, Figure 7 As shown, the mains input module 1082 is used to connect the mains input cable to introduce the mains into the intelligent distribution box 100 as one of the power sources of the distribution box. The mains input module 1082 is directly connected to the mains input cable to ensure that the distribution box can obtain the mains supply. At the same time, the mains input module 1082 establishes a signal connection with the control board 106, so that the control board 106 can monitor the working status of the mains input module 1082 in real time.

[0083] The control panel 106 can monitor various parameters of the mains input module 1082 in real time, such as voltage, current, power, etc., to ensure the stability and safety of the mains input. Based on the monitored data, the control panel 106 can perform corresponding control operations on the mains input module 1082, for example, when the mains is abnormal, the mains input is cut off in time to protect the distribution box and the connected equipment.

[0084] The control panel 106 controls at least one indicator light 1122 to display relevant information according to the operating status of the mains input module 1082. For example, when the mains input is normal, the corresponding indicator light 1122 lights up green; when the mains input is abnormal, the corresponding indicator light 1122 lights up red or flashes to prompt the user that there is a problem with the mains input.

[0085] In some embodiments, optionally, Figure 7As shown, the oil-electric input module 1084 is used to connect the oil-electric input cable to introduce the oil-electric energy into the intelligent distribution box 100. The oil-electric input module 1084 is directly connected to the oil-electric input cable to ensure that the distribution box can obtain the oil-electric energy supply. Through the signal connection between the oil-electric input module 1084 and the control board 106, the control board 106 can monitor various parameters of the oil-electric input module 1084 in real time, such as voltage, current, power, etc., to ensure the stability and safety of the oil-electric input.

[0086] According to the monitored data, the control panel 106 can perform corresponding control operations on the oil-electric input module 1084. For example, when the oil-electric input is abnormal, the oil-electric input is cut off in time to protect the distribution box and the connected equipment.

[0087] The control panel 106 controls at least one indicator light 1122 to display relevant information according to the operating status of the oil-electric input module 1084. For example, when the oil-electric input is normal, the corresponding indicator light 1122 displays a specific color or status; when the oil-electric input fails, the indicator light 1122 will change the display mode accordingly to remind the user that there is a problem with the oil-electric input.

[0088] In some embodiments, the input circuit breaker 1086 is optionally used to control and protect the circuit to which the input cable is connected, and can automatically cut off the circuit when the circuit is overloaded, short-circuited or in other abnormal conditions to prevent equipment damage and electrical accidents. It can be understood that the input circuit breaker 1086 is connected to the input cable to ensure that electrical energy can be smoothly transmitted from the external power supply to other components in the distribution box.

[0089] In addition, if Figure 5 As shown, by providing a second opening 1046 matched with the input circuit breaker 1086 on the inner door plate 104 , a portion of the input circuit breaker 1086 can extend out of the second opening 1046 .

[0090] Part of the input circuit breaker 1086 extends out of the second opening 1046, so that the user can directly operate the input circuit breaker 1086, such as closing and opening, without opening the entire distribution box, thereby improving the convenience of operation.

[0091] It can be understood that the extended input circuit breaker 1086 allows the user to intuitively see its status, such as whether it is in the closed or open position, and whether there are abnormal conditions such as tripping, so that the user can understand the working status of the circuit in a timely manner.

[0092] In some embodiments, optionally, Figure 8As shown, the control board 106 is connected to the photovoltaic power generation module 122, so that the control board 106 can effectively monitor and manage the photovoltaic power generation module 122. The output power, voltage, current and other parameters of the photovoltaic power generation module 122 will change with environmental factors such as light intensity and temperature. The control board 106 can obtain these parameter information in real time, thereby realizing refined control of the photovoltaic power generation module 122.

[0093] In the intelligent distribution box 100, the control board 106 is the core control unit, and the connection with the photovoltaic power generation module 122 helps to integrate the electricity generated by photovoltaic power generation with other input energy sources (such as city electricity, oil electricity, etc.). It can reasonably allocate electricity according to the overall power demand of the distribution box and the supply of various energy sources, thereby improving energy utilization efficiency.

[0094] At least one indicator light 1122 is associated with the operating state of the photovoltaic power generation module 122, which provides an intuitive visual monitoring method for the user. The operating state of the photovoltaic power generation system is affected by many factors, including lighting conditions, the health of the photovoltaic components, circuit connection conditions, etc. Through the indicator light 1122, the user can quickly understand whether the photovoltaic power generation module 122 is operating normally without complex detection equipment.

[0095] In addition, when the photovoltaic power generation module 122 fails, such as the photovoltaic panel is damaged, resulting in reduced power generation efficiency, circuit failure affects power output, etc., the indicator light 1122 related to the operating status can send a signal in time. For example, the indicator light 1122 may flash or change color to remind the user that the photovoltaic power generation module 122 needs to be inspected and maintained, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the entire intelligent distribution box 100 system.

[0096] For example, when the photovoltaic power generation module 122 is generating electricity normally, the corresponding indicator light 1122 may remain constantly lit (e.g., green), indicating that the photovoltaic power generation module 122 is stably providing electrical energy to the distribution box. In the case of insufficient light (such as cloudy days, early mornings, or evenings), the power generation power of the photovoltaic power generation module 122 will decrease. At this time, the indicator light 1122 may flash at a slower frequency or display other colors such as yellow, prompting the user that although the photovoltaic power generation module 122 is working, its power generation capacity is limited. If the photovoltaic power generation module 122 fails, the indicator light 1122 may flash quickly or display red, clearly informing the user that the photovoltaic power generation module 122 needs to be repaired.

[0097] In some embodiments, optionally, Figure 8As shown, the control panel 106 is connected to the energy storage device 124 electrically connected to the photovoltaic power generation module 122, and the energy storage device 124 plays the role of energy storage and regulation in the entire intelligent distribution box 100 system. For example, when the photovoltaic power generation module 122 generates excess power, the energy storage device 124 can be charged under the control of the control panel 106 to store excess power; and when the photovoltaic power generation module 122 generates insufficient power or the power load demand suddenly increases, the energy storage device 124 can be discharged under the dispatch of the control panel 106 to meet the load demand.

[0098] The connection and management of the energy storage device 124 by the control board 106 helps to improve the stability of the entire intelligent distribution box 100 system. The energy storage device 124 can smooth the fluctuation of the output power of the photovoltaic power generation module 122 and reduce the unstable power supply caused by factors such as changes in light. The control board 106 can reasonably arrange the working mode of the energy storage device 124 according to the parameters such as the power state and charging and discharging performance of the energy storage device 124, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the entire system.

[0099] At least one indicator light 1122 is related to the operating status of the energy storage device 124, providing intuitive operating status information of the energy storage device 124. The operating status of the energy storage device 124 includes multiple aspects such as charging status, discharging status, power level, whether there is a fault, etc. Through the indicator light 1122, the user can quickly understand the working status of the energy storage device 124 without the need for complex detection instruments.

[0100] For example, when the energy storage device 124 is in a charging state, the corresponding indicator light 1122 may be displayed in a certain way, such as flashing green light. This means that the energy storage device 124 is receiving and storing electrical energy, and the user can intuitively know that the energy storage device 124 is in the charging process. If the energy storage device 124 is discharging, the indicator light 1122 may be displayed as a solid blue light or flashing blue light at a slower frequency, informing the user that the energy storage device 124 is outputting electrical energy to meet load demand or to supplement the shortage of other energy supplies.

[0101] The indicator light 1122 can also be used to indicate the power level of the energy storage device 124. For example, when the energy storage device 124 is fully charged, the indicator light 1122 may be displayed as bright green; as the power decreases, the brightness of the indicator light 1122 may gradually decrease or the color may change, such as turning yellow to indicate that the power is at a medium level, and turning red to indicate that the power is low, reminding the user to pay attention to the power status of the energy storage device 124 or take corresponding measures, such as adjusting the load usage strategy or preparing to charge the energy storage device 124.

[0102] When the energy storage device 124 fails, such as battery damage, charging and discharging circuit failure, etc., the indicator light 1122 related to the operating status of the energy storage device 124 will be displayed in an obvious abnormal manner, such as quickly flashing red light or continuously displaying red, prompting the user that there is a problem with the energy storage device 124 and maintenance is required.

[0103] According to the intelligent distribution box provided by the present invention, the box space can be layered by setting an inner door panel. After opening the box, the user can directly see the indicator light through the visible window on the inner door panel, and then understand the operating status of the corresponding module, which is convenient for the user to quickly grasp the equipment status.
