[0002] Bathroom equipotential terminal boxes play an important role in building electrical engineering and are designed to improve safety by connecting different metal parts and electrical equipment to a common potential reference point.

[0003] The existing toilet equipotential terminal box usually adopts a metal shell, and its size is generally between 150mm×80mm×40mm and 200mm×100mm×50mm. It is equipped with a 4mm×25mm cross-section copper plate equipotential terminal busbar, 4mm×25mm galvanized flat steel crimping buckle and several crimping terminal points. This terminal box is usually concealed under the toilet wash basin, and has several knock-down electrical pipeline connection holes on the side.

[0004] Through the electrical connection points in the terminal box, the bathroom ground steel mesh can be connected to the metal bathtub, metal wash basin, metal radiator and PE line of the power socket in the bathroom to form a relatively stable potential reference point. When an electric shock accident occurs, the system can effectively protect the human body from electric shock hazards. However, the existing technology also has some obvious disadvantages.

[0005] First, because there are often concealed hot and cold water pipes under the bathroom sink, there is often a space conflict with the concealed equipotential terminal box. Due to the limited installation space, careful pipeline layout is required, and 4mm×25mm galvanized flat steel is used to connect with the steel grounding grid. Due to the metal size and characteristics of galvanized flat steel, it is difficult to extend and bend, which increases the difficulty of construction and the overall aesthetics are poor.
