Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0026] A car engine fuse box, such as Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, it includes a lower body 6 and an upper body 8, the upper body 8 is snap-fitted and installed inside the lower body 6, the upper end of the lower body 6 is snap-fitted with an upper cover 10, the lower end of the lower body 6 is snap-fitted with a lower cover 1, the lower body 6 is snap-fitted with a PCBA 7 inside the lower body 6, the pin end of the PCBA 7 passes through the upper body 8, and the pin end of the PCBA 7 is plugged and installed with a fuse 9, the fuse 9 is located in the upper body 8, a MIDI insurance plastic seat 5 for installing a MIDI insurance rivet assembly 2 is snap-fitted and installed on one side of the lower body 6, and the upper cover 10 is covered on the outside of the MIDI insurance plastic seat 5.

[0027] Pins and PCB relays are welded on PCBA7. The pins are used to connect fuses 9 and connectors. The power enters the PCB from the copper bus on PCBA7, and then the copper foil wiring inside the PCB is used to connect the pins and PCB relays to distribute a power supply to the corresponding electrical appliances in the car. The internal wiring of the PCB replaces the bus and internal connecting wires of the traditional fuse box. The pins on PCBA7 leak out of the plastic holes of the upper body 8 and the lower body 6. All fuses 9 are inserted into the pins of PCBA7. The fuses 9 play a protective role in each circuit.

[0028] By connecting the fuse 9 to the PCBA 7, the PCBA 7 is sealed and installed through the upper body 8 and the lower body 6, and the upper cover 10 and the lower cover 1 are sealed and buckled on both ends of the lower body 6. The upper cover 10 is buckled on the lower body 6 to cover all the fuses 9 to prevent water, dust or foreign matter from entering the engine compartment fuse box. The lower cover 1 is installed to the lower body 6 by snapping to protect water, dust or foreign matter from entering the engine compartment fuse box from the bottom surface, and to restrain the wires that transmit power to various electrical appliances of the whole vehicle. The upper body 8 is snap-fitted and installed inside the lower body 6, so that the upper body 8 does not occupy additional space outside the lower body 6. The upper cover 10 is directly snap-fitted and installed with the lower body 6, so that the distance between the upper cover 10 and the lower cover 1 is reduced. The overall volume of the fuse box is reduced, and the internal components are densely installed while reducing the wiring harness to prevent problems such as complex wiring relationships caused by multiple wiring harnesses. The entire product is light in weight, small in size, and simple in product. The single-sided riveted MIDI fuse 9 uses a riveting process and a copper busbar to form a MIDI insurance riveted assembly 2. The MIDI insurance riveted assembly 2 is installed on the MIDI insurance plastic seat 5, and the entire plastic seat is installed on the side of the lower body 6. The copper busbar on the MIDI insurance riveted assembly 2 is connected to the power input position, and the current of high-power electrical appliances is directly distributed from the power supply to the high-power electrical appliances through the MIDI insurance riveted assembly 2. It is assembled on the fuse box as a separate module and selectively installed according to needs to achieve cost reduction and weight reduction.

[0030] A single-sided riveted MIDI fuse is used to replace a double-sided screwed MIDI fuse and a customized combination fuse. The double-sided screwed MIDI fuse requires an extra pair of fasteners 3, which increases material cost and product weight. The customized combination fuse needs to be newly developed and changes require mold modification and re-verification, which increases development cycle and cost and is not conducive to subsequent platform applications. The single-sided riveted MIDI fuse uses a standard fuse and a copper bar to rivet together to form a MIDI fuse riveted assembly 2, which can save a pair of fasteners 3. Platform applications also make it convenient to change fuse specifications, saving costs, weight and development cycle.

[0031] like Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of fasteners 3 are fixedly connected to the MIDI insurance plastic seat 5 , and the MIDI insurance riveting assembly 2 is mounted on the plurality of fasteners 3 by snap-fitting.

[0032] The MIDI insurance riveting assembly 2 is installed on the MIDI insurance plastic seat 5 through the fastener 3.

[0034] The mounting bracket 4 is mounted by being clipped with the mounting frame 64 of the side wall of the lower main body 6 through the docking frame 41, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly. The fuse box is fastened to the vehicle body through the mounting bracket 4. The mounting bracket 4 adopts a detachable structure. Whether to disassemble and assemble can be reasonably selected according to the installation space and needs, thereby increasing the applicability of the installation space of the fuse box. The mounting bracket 4 of different shapes can also be customized according to the space, so that the overall installation space of the fuse box can be adjusted.

[0035] like Figure 5-Figure 6 As shown, the inner wall of the lower body 6 is fixedly connected with an inner block 63 , and the side wall of the upper body 8 is fixedly connected with a fixing block 81 . The fixing block 81 is engaged with the inner block 63 , and the lower end of the upper body 8 is installed in contact with the inner wall of the lower body 6 .

[0036] The upper body 8 is buckled downward from the upper end of the lower body 6 until the inner clamping block 63 is engaged with the fixing block 81 , and the upper body 8 is buckled inside the lower body 6 .

[0037] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a lower clamping block 61 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the lower body 6 , and a lower buckle 11 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the lower cover 1 . The lower buckle 11 is clamped and installed with the lower clamping block 61 .

[0038] The lower buckle 11 of the lower cover 1 is engaged with the lower block 61 of the lower body 6 , so that the lower cover 1 and the lower end of the lower body 6 are sealed and installed.

[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, an upper clamping block 62 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the lower body 6 , and an upper buckle 101 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the upper cover 10 .
