[0034] It is worth mentioning that a partition 11 is provided in the box body 1 to form a first concave cavity 12 and a second concave cavity 13. A clearance through hole 14 is provided at the top of the first concave cavity 12 and the second concave cavity 13. A first sealing groove 15 is provided on the side wall of the clearance through hole 14. The partition 11 divides the space in the box body 1 into the first concave cavity 12 and the second concave cavity 13. Customers can install corresponding electrical equipment in different concave cavities according to actual conditions. The clearance through hole 14 cooperates with the heat conductive block 21 to enter, and the first sealing groove 15 cooperates with the first sealing strip 22 to be used;

[0035] It is worth mentioning that the first cavity 12 and the second cavity 13 are provided with a second sealing groove 16, and a chamfer 8 is provided at the entrance of the second sealing groove 16. A box door 7 is provided at the entrance of the first cavity 12 and the second cavity 13. A second sealing strip 71 is provided on the outer wall of the box door 7 and is embedded in the second sealing groove 16, so that a sealing structure is formed at the connection between the box door 7 and the first cavity 12 and the second cavity 13. The second sealing groove 16 is used in conjunction with the second sealing strip 71. The chamfer 8 facilitates the opening and closing of the box door 7, and prevents the second sealing strip 71 from being excessively squeezed, resulting in deformation problems. The second sealing strip 71 is embedded in the second sealing groove 16 to form a tortuous curve, blocking the medium from passing through the second sealing groove 16, thereby preventing water and water vapor from entering the box body 1.

[0036] It is worth mentioning that the heat dissipation device 2 includes a heat conductive block 21 and a first sealing strip 22. The heat conductive block 21 is inserted into the clearance hole 14. The heat conductive block 21 is provided with an extension plate 25, which is in a vertical relationship with the heat conductive block 21. The heat conductive block 21 is provided with a first mounting plate 23, which abuts against the top of the box body 1 and is connected and fixed to the box body 1 by screws. The top of the heat conductive block 21 is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation fins 24 with equal spacing. The first sealing strip 22 is fixed to the outer wall of the heat conductive block 21 and embedded in the first sealing groove 15, so that the connection between the heat conductive block 21 and the clearance hole 14 forms a seal. Structure, the material of the heat conducting block 21 and the extension plate 25 can be aluminum, the electrical equipment is installed on the extension plate 25, the heat generated by the electrical equipment is thermally transferred to the extension plate 25, the heat conducting block 21, and the heat dissipation fins 24, the heat dissipation fins 24 and the air perform heat exchange, thereby reducing and controlling the temperature of the heat conducting block 21 and the extension plate 25, the first mounting plate 23 is connected and fixed to the box body 1, the first sealing strip 22 is embedded in the first sealing groove 15 to form a tortuous bend, the medium is blocked from passing through the first sealing groove 15, thereby preventing water and water vapor from entering the box body 1;

[0037] It is worth mentioning that the sealing device 6 includes a connector 61, a compression joint 62, a gasket 63, and a bushing 64. The connector 61 is provided with a second mounting plate 611 and is connected and fixed to the wire hole 5 by screws. A first radial portion 612 is provided at the outlet of the connector 61. The bushing 64 is provided with a second radial portion 641 and abuts against the first radial portion 612. The gasket 63 abuts against the bushing 64. The bushing 64 is provided with at least one through hole 642. An O-ring 65 is provided on the inner wall of the through hole 642. The second mounting plate 611 facilitates the connection or disassembly of the connector 61 and the box body 1. The gasket 63 increases the contact area with the compression joint 62. The through hole 642 facilitates the wire to pass through the wire hole 5 and enter the box body 1.

[0038] It is worth mentioning that the compression joint 62 is threadedly connected to the connector 61 and abuts against the gasket 63. When downward pressure is applied to the gasket 63, the perforation shrinks inward. As the compression joint 62 is gradually tightened with the connector 61, the downward pressure applied to the gasket 63 is gradually increased, and the second radial portion 641 moves on the first radial portion 612. Since the first radial portion 612 is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, the perforation is compressed by the first radial portion 612 and squeezed inward, thereby clamping and binding the wire. The O-ring 65 improves the sealing performance between the wire and the perforation 642. Since there is a single wire or multiple wires in one wire, the bushing 64 with different numbers of perforations 642 and different diameters of perforations 642 can be replaced according to installation requirements to ensure that a single wire corresponds to one perforation 642.

[0039] It is worth mentioning that the cooling fan 4 is arranged at the air inlet of the cooling fins 24 , and the cooling fan 4 increases the air flow speed of the cooling fins 24 , thereby effectively controlling the temperature rise in the box body 1 .

[0040] The above design scheme can enable the product to achieve the advantages of having protective function, good sealing and high safety.

[0041] The above content is a further detailed description of the utility model in combination with specific implementation methods. It cannot be determined that the specific implementation of the utility model is limited to these descriptions. For ordinary technicians in the technical field to which the utility model belongs, without departing from the concept of the utility model, they can also make several simple deductions or substitutions, which should be regarded as belonging to the scope of protection determined by the claims submitted for the utility model.
