The control sleeve 306 is arranged on the connecting seat 301. The control sleeve 306 is arranged to drive the movable seat 305 to move in the through hole 303 when rotating on the connecting seat 301. The multiple limit seats 304 in the connecting mechanism 3 can synchronously move closer to or away from the axis of the connecting seat 301 through the up and down movement and the action of the inclined surface of the movable seat 305, so as to achieve accurate clamping and fixation of wire harnesses of different diameters. This adaptive design enhances the versatility and flexibility of the junction box, reduces the installation difficulties caused by the mismatch of the wire harness size, and can be easily installed by rotating the control sleeve 305. 06, the movable seat 305 can be easily driven to move in the through hole 303, and the position of the limit seat 304 can be adjusted to achieve the clamping and release of the wire harness. This mechanical adjustment method is not only simple and quick to operate, but also improves the efficiency of installation and maintenance. No professional assembly tools are required. Insert the wire harness into the box body 1 and rotate the control sleeve 306 to complete the assembly. The inclined design between the limit seat 304 and the movable seat 305, and the stable movement of the movable seat 305 in the through hole 303 ensure that the wire harness can still maintain a good clamping state when subjected to external force, prevent the risk of the wire harness loosening or falling off, and ensure the reliability of the electrical connection.
[0049] Reference Figure 3 The control sleeve 306 includes: an annular groove, which is opened on the inner circle of the control sleeve 306; a fixed block 307, which is installed on the moving seat 305, and the fixed block 307 is connected in the annular groove.
[0050] Reference Figure 3The connecting mechanism 3 also includes: a moving groove 310, which is opened on the top wall of the through hole 303; a moving block 309, which is connected to the top of the limiting seat 304, and the moving block 309 is connected in the moving groove 310. The moving block 309 is configured to move in the moving groove 310 when the limiting seat 304 moves; an elastic member 311, one end of which is connected to the side wall of the moving groove 310 and the other end is connected to the moving block 309, which is used to provide a restoring force for the initial position of the moving block 309.

When the control sleeve 306 rotates to the release position, the limiting seat 304 can automatically reset to the initial state, which is convenient for the next installation or adjustment of the wiring harness. The elastic member 311 adopts a stainless steel spring and can also adopt elastic rubber.
[0051] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 , a sealing mechanism 4 is connected to the box body 1 and is used to seal the connecting wire 5; the sealing mechanism 4 includes: a sealing sleeve 401, installed on one side of the box body 1; a sealing member 402, connected in the sealing sleeve 401, and is used to provide a sealed connection between the wire harness and the box body 1. The combined use of the sealing sleeve 401 and the sealing member 402 provides a reliable sealed connection between the wire harness and the box body 1, effectively preventing the intrusion of external factors such as moisture and dust, and protecting the safety and stable operation of the internal circuit.
[0052] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , multiple connecting wires 5, one end of which is connected to the terminal plate 2, and the other end is respectively connected to multiple limit seats 304, the limit seats 304 are made of conductive material, the limit seats 304 not only clamp and fix the wiring harness, but also provide conductivity for the wiring harness, and the wiring harness and the terminal plate 2 are energized through the connecting wires 5.
[0053] During use, one end of the photovoltaic wiring harness is passed through the sealing sleeve 401, and the wiring harness enters the box body 1 through the sealing member 402, and the wiring harness is placed in the limiting groove 302 of the connecting seat 301, ready for clamping and fixing, and the control sleeve 306 is rotated. Since the control sleeve 306 cooperates with the threaded groove 308 on the connecting seat 301, the rotation action will drive the control sleeve 306 to move on the connecting seat 301, and the fixed block 307 moves in the annular groove. Therefore, the movable seat 305 will move upward in the through hole 303 as the control sleeve 306 rotates, and the movable seat 305 fits with the inclined surface of the limiting seat 304. As the movable seat 305 rises, the inclined surface pushes the limiting seat 304 to synchronously move closer to the axial direction of the connecting seat 301, thereby achieving alignment. To clamp the wire harness, continue to rotate the control sleeve 306 according to the actual diameter of the wire harness until the limit seat 304 reaches the appropriate clamping force to ensure that the wire harness is stable and not loose. Check whether the wire harness is firmly clamped by the limit seat 304 to ensure that there is no risk of loosening or falling off. If necessary, you can make fine adjustments by slightly rotating the control sleeve 306 to achieve the best clamping effect. Since the limit seats 304 are made of conductive materials, they not only clamp and fix the wire harness, but also realize electrical connection at the same time, ensuring that all electrical connections are firm and reliable without the risk of short circuit or open circuit. Confirm that all components have been correctly installed and fixed, and the wire harness and electrical connections are in good condition. Close the box body 1 to ensure that the internal environment of the junction box is sealed to prevent external factors from intruding.
[0054] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0055] The connection mechanism 3 with an adaptive design can achieve precise clamping and fixation of wire harnesses of different diameters through the inclined surface action of the movable seat 305 and the limiting seat 304, effectively avoiding connection problems caused by uneven tightening force. The stable fit between the limiting seat 304 and the movable seat 305 and the restoring force provided by the elastic member 311 ensure that the wire harness can still maintain a good clamping state when subjected to external force, preventing the risk of the wire harness loosening or falling off, and improving the reliability of the electrical connection.
[0056] The mechanical adjustment method simplifies the installation process, eliminates the need for professional assembly tools, reduces the skill requirements for operators, and makes the installation process quick and convenient, reducing installation time costs and improving overall work efficiency. The junction box can still maintain the stability of the power cord connection under the influence of environmental factors such as wind and temperature changes, reducing the problem of loosening or falling off caused by environmental factors.
[0057] The design of the sealing mechanism 4 effectively prevents the intrusion of external factors such as moisture and dust, protects the safety and stable operation of the internal circuit, and reduces the risk of circuit failure due to environmental factors. The overall structure of the junction box is compact and stable, and the connection between the components is reliable, which improves the durability and service life of the junction box.
