Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of distribution boxes, and in particular relates to a distribution box. Background Art

[0002] Distribution boxes are crucial equipment for distributing electrical energy within power systems. They are primarily used to distribute, control, and protect incoming power according to specific needs. Some distribution boxes are equipped with instruments such as voltmeters, ammeters, and watt-hour meters to monitor circuit status.

Only after the cables are connected to the equipment inside the box can power and signals be transmitted. However, in actual use, the wiring holes of existing distribution boxes lack a structure to secure the cables. This causes the cables to easily wobble due to external forces after being connected, resulting in reduced cable connection stability, especially for small cables. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Furthermore, the clamping block is provided with a first clamping head extending inward, and the first clamping head is provided with a first guide surface extending obliquely inward. When the first guide surface is pressed by the cable, the first clamping head expands outward until the cable completely passes through the first clamping head.

[0006] Furthermore, the clamping block is provided with a second clamping head extending inward, and the second clamping head is provided with a second guide surface extending in the same direction as the first guide surface. When the second guide surface is pressed by the cable, the second clamping head expands outward until the cable completely passes through the second clamping head.

[0007] Furthermore, the clamping blocks are provided with arc-shaped spring grooves, the spring grooves between the clamping blocks are arranged in a ring shape, and the annular springs are simultaneously inserted and fitted into the spring grooves arranged in a ring shape.

[0008] Furthermore, a plurality of clamping members are provided in the fixing sleeve, and the clamping members close to one end of the fixing sleeve and the clamping members close to the other end of the fixing sleeve are arranged linearly.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a first limiting sleeve and a second limiting sleeve, which are respectively threadedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the fixed sleeve, the bottom of the first fixing sleeve contacts the top of the terminal block, and the top of the second fixing sleeve contacts the bottom of the terminal block to fix the fixed sleeve on the terminal block.

[0010] Furthermore, a first limiting plate and a second limiting plate are threadedly connected in the fixing hole, the first limiting plate abuts against the upper part of the fixing plate, and the second limiting plate abuts against the lower part of the fixing plate, so as to fix the clamp in the fixing hole.

[0016] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with embodiments.

[0017] Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative work should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0018] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the specification and claims of this application and the accompanying drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or precedence. It should be understood that the terms used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate, for the purposes of describing the embodiments of the present application herein.

[0019] In this application, terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," "back," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "center," "vertical," "horizontal," "transverse," and "longitudinal" indicate positions or locations based on the positions or locations shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are primarily intended to better describe the present invention and its embodiments and are not intended to limit the devices, elements, or components indicated to having a specific orientation, or to being constructed or operated in a specific orientation.

[0020] like Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, it is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a distribution box, including a box body 1 and a box door 11, the box door 11 is movably provided on the box body 1, and a terminal block 2 is fixedly provided at the top and bottom of the box body 1, each of the terminal blocks 2 is provided with a plurality of wiring holes 21, a fixing sleeve 3 is fixedly provided in the wiring hole 21, a fixing hole 31 is vertically penetrated by the inner side of the fixing sleeve 3, and one or more clamping members 4 are fixed in the fixing hole 31, the clamping member 4 includes a fixing plate 41 and a plurality of clamping blocks 5, the fixing plate 41 is provided with a plurality of guide grooves 42 arranged in an annular shape, the clamping blocks 5 are movably provided in the guide grooves 42, and are also arranged in an annular shape with respect to each other, the clamping blocks 5 are provided with arc-shaped spring grooves 57, and the spring grooves 57 between the clamping blocks 5 are also arranged in an annular shape with each other, and an annular spring 43 is inserted in the spring groove 57 so that the annular spring 43 is integrally sleeved on the outside of the clamping block 5.

[0021] like Figure 5 As shown, the clamping block 5 is further provided with a first clamping head 51 extending inwardly, and a first guide surface 53 extending obliquely inwardly is provided on the first clamping head 51. The first guide surfaces 53 on all the first clamping heads 51 collectively form a cone-shaped structure, and the cone-shaped structure is close to one end of the fixed sleeve 3. Furthermore, the clamping block 5 is further provided with a second clamping head 52 extending inwardly, and a second guide surface 54 extending in the same direction as the first guide surface 53 is provided on the second clamping head 52.
