This invention has simple operation and convenient positioning, and can reduce the risk of cable loosening. The inventor found the following problems in the process of implementing this utility model:

The cable 3 abuts against the wire groove 702 in the inner cavity of the wire protection housing 701. Then, after the installation is completed, the four wire protection housings 701 are fixed on the surface of the cable 3 by the bolts 705 passing through the two mounting holes 704, so that the bending of the cable 3 can be effectively restricted, the distance between the two connection points of the cable 3 can be kept stable, the pulling or compression between the cables 3 can be avoided, and the distance between the two cables 3 can be stably maintained by the connecting rod 703, so as to effectively prevent the entanglement, extrusion or crossing between the cables 3, keep the spatial separation of the cables 3, and avoid the mutual interference between the cables 3.
[0027] Embodiment 2
[0028] On the basis of Embodiment 1, the solution in Embodiment 1 is further refined and introduced in combination with the following specific working modes, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, and the details are described below:
[0029] As a preferred implementation mode, the main housing 1 and the auxiliary housing 4 together form a wiring box structure, and the main housing 1 and the auxiliary housing 4 are movably connected by a first hinge 5.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment, wire fixing plates 10 are welded to the inner cavities at the lower ends of the main housing 1 and the auxiliary housing 4. Wire fixing holes 11 are formed at both ends of the wire fixing plates 10. One side of the opposite surfaces of the two wire fixing plates 10 abuts against each other, and the positions of every two wire fixing holes 11 correspond to each other. Cable locks 6 are arranged on both sides at the lower end of the main housing 1; further, when the cable 3 is connected to the photovoltaic connection mechanism and passes through the cable locks 6, since the main housing 1 and the auxiliary housing 4 are installed as a whole, the two wire fixing plates 10 abut against each other, and the cable 3 will pass through the two wire fixing holes 11 and then enter the cable locks 6, so that the movement range of the cable 3 in the inner cavity of the junction box can be effectively restricted, and the cable 3 can only pass through in a fixed path and position.
[0031] As a preferred embodiment, two of the cable protection sleeve shells 701 are movably connected to the other two cable protection sleeve shells 701 through a rotating shaft, and two of the cable protection sleeve shells 701 abut against the other two cable protection sleeve shells 701 respectively; further, two of the cable protection sleeve shells 701 abut against the other two cable protection sleeve shells 701, so as to be combined and sleeved on the outer surfaces of the two cables 3, and are restricted and connected through the two connecting rods 703 to maintain a relatively stable distance.
[0032] The working process of the present utility model is as follows: One side of the main housing 1 and the auxiliary housing 4 is movably connected through the first hinge 5, and then on the other side, the auxiliary housing 4 is buckled on the outer surface of the limit block 9 through the buckle 8, so as to install the main housing 1 and the auxiliary housing 4, thus forming a set of junction box structures. When the cable 3 is connected to the photovoltaic connection mechanism 2 and passes through the cable locks 6, since the main housing 1 and the auxiliary housing 4 are installed as a whole, the two wire fixing plates 10 abut against each other, and the cable 3 will pass through the two wire fixing holes 11 and then enter the cable locks 6, so that the movement range of the cable 3 in the inner cavity of the junction box can be effectively restricted, and the cable 3 can only pass through in a fixed path and position.
[0033] When the cable 3 passes through the cable locks 6 subsequently, it is protected by the anti-bending assembly 7. Two of the cable protection sleeve shells 701 are connected through the connecting rod 703, and the other two are the same, so as to be sleeved on the outer surfaces of the two cables 3.
