For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0027] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the present invention provides a power distribution junction cabinet, comprising: a cabinet 1, a grid-connected circuit breaker 4 and a backup circuit breaker assembly 5; a controller 2 and a busbar 3 connected to the controller 2 are arranged in the cabinet 1; the grid-connected circuit breaker 4 is arranged in the cabinet 1, and is communicated with the controller 2, and the grid-connected circuit breaker 4 is suitable for connecting the power grid and the busbar 3; the backup circuit breaker assembly 5 is arranged in the cabinet 1, including a first circuit breaker 51 communicated with the controller 2, and the first circuit breaker 51 is suitable for connecting the busbar 3 and the energy storage cabinet; the controller 2 detects an electrical signal of the power grid, and when the electrical signal exists, the controller 2 controls the grid-connected circuit breaker 4 to conduct the power grid and the busbar 3, so that the power distribution junction cabinet is in a grid-connected working mode, and when the electrical signal disappears, the controller 2 controls the first circuit breaker 51 to conduct the busbar 3 and the energy storage cabinet, so that the power distribution junction cabinet is in an off-grid working mode.

[0029] Specifically, by arranging a backup circuit breaker assembly 5 in the cabinet 1, when the grid electrical signal exists, the system can realize grid-connected operation to ensure the stability of power supply; when the grid electrical signal disappears, the system can automatically switch to the off-grid working mode, and connect the energy storage cabinet to the busbar 3 through the first circuit breaker 51 in the backup circuit breaker assembly 5, so as to realize continuous power supply to the equipment when the grid power is cut off, ensuring uninterrupted power supply; the controller 2 automatically controls the operation of the grid-connected circuit breaker 4 and the backup circuit breaker assembly 5 by real-time detection of changes in the grid electrical signal, which effectively improves the response speed and operation reliability of the system, can flexibly adjust the power distribution mode according to the external grid conditions, and enhances the system's adaptability.
