[0037] Embodiment 1

[0038] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, this embodiment provides a chassis, which includes a box body 1, a cover body 2, and a fastening assembly 3; the cover body 2 covers the box body 1, the cover body 2 has a flanging structure 21 located outside the box body 1, the flanging structure 21 includes spaced-apart end flanges 211 and root flanges 212, the root flanges 212 are located on the side of the end flanges 211 away from the box body 1, the root flanges 212 are provided with adjustment holes 214, both the end flanges 211 and the box body 1 are provided with connection holes, and the connection holes of the end flanges 211 and the connection holes of the box body 1 are coaxially arranged; the fastening assembly 3 passes through the connection holes of the end flanges 211 and the connection holes of the box body 1 to lock the end flanges 211 and the box body 1, and the fastening assembly 3 can be locked or loosened by passing through the adjustment holes 214.

[0039] Specifically, the fastening assembly 3 passes through the connection holes of the end flange 211 and the connection holes of the box body 1 to lock the end flange 211 and the box body 1. When it is necessary to loosen the fastening assembly 3, a tool can be used to pass through the adjustment hole 214 to loosen the fastening assembly 3. The root flange 212 plays a role in isolating and protecting the fastening assembly 3, preventing it from scratching other electrical devices or users. Unless directly facing the adjustment hole 214, it is not easy to observe the fastening assembly 3 with the naked eye, and the fastening assembly 3 does not affect the aesthetics of the chassis.

[0040] Optionally, the cover body 2 is provided with a flanging structure 21 on at least one set of opposite sides.

[0041] In this embodiment, the circumferential part of the cover body 2 is provided with a flanging structure 21. In some other embodiments, the cover body 2 is provided with a flanging structure 21 at both ends in the X-axis direction or on both sides in the X-axis direction.

[0042] In the prior art, the screws are arranged vertically, that is, the length direction of the screws is parallel to the depth direction of the lower box body. When an accident such as a short circuit occurs in the electrical component and the air pressure in the cavity inside the shell increases, the upper cover expands and deforms outward, having a tendency to separate from the lower box body. At this time, the upper cover generates a pulling force on the screws, and the pulling force direction of the upper cover on the screws is parallel to the length direction of the screws. After using for a period of time, the screw threads may not be able to withstand the pulling force of the upper cover, and there is a risk of screw failure and flying off.

[0043] To solve the above problems, in this embodiment, the end flange 211 extends along the depth direction of the box body 1, and the fastening assembly 3 vertically passes through the end flange 211 and the box body 1 in the X-axis direction. When the internal air pressure of the box body 1 increases, the cover body 2 expands and deforms outward, and the cover body 2 has a tendency to separate from the box body 1 along the depth direction of the box body 1. At this time, the end flange 211 generates a shearing force in the radial direction on the fastening assembly 3. The radial structural strength of the fastening assembly 3 is high, it is not easy to be cut off, and the reliability is strong, so as to prevent the cover body 2 from separating from the box body 1.

[0044] Optionally, the flanging structure 21 is a U-shaped structure. The two opposite side walls of the flanging structure 21 are respectively the root flange 212 and the end flange 211, and the head of the fastening assembly 3 is located in the U-shaped groove of the flanging structure 21.

[0045] In this embodiment, the fastening assembly 3 includes a threaded fastener and a nut, and the threaded fastener is a screw or a bolt.

[0046] In this embodiment, the nut is fixed to the inner wall of the box body 1. For example, the nut is welded to the inner wall of the box body 1. The screw passes through the adjustment hole 214 in the X-axis direction and then is inserted into the connection hole of the end flanging 211 and the connection hole of the box body 1. Then, the screw is threadedly connected to the nut, thereby locking the end flanging 211 and the box body 1. At this time, the screw completely passes through the adjustment hole 214, and the head of the screw is located in the U-shaped groove of the flanging structure 21. When it is necessary to loosen the screw, a screwdriver can be used to pass through the adjustment hole 214 to remove the screw.

[0047] In this embodiment, the root flanging 212 extends along the depth direction of the box body 1. When the internal air pressure of the box body 1 increases, the cover body 2 expands and deforms outward, and the root flanging 212 follows the deformation, making it easier for the inner cavity of the box body 1 to communicate with the U-shaped groove of the flanging structure 21.

[0048] Optionally, the cover body 2 has a covering portion 22 covering the opening of the box body 1. The distance from the end flanging 211 to the covering portion 22 is greater than the distance from the edge of the opening of the box body 1 to the covering portion 22. When the covering portion 22 expands and deforms, the opening of the flanging structure 21 communicates with the inside of the box body 1, realizing pressure relief and avoiding obstruction by the end flanging 211.

[0049] Optionally, a transition flanging 213 is connected between the root flanging 212 and the end flanging 211. The root flanging 212, the transition flanging 213, and the end flanging 211 enclose a U-shaped structure. The root flanging 212, the end flanging 211, and the transition flanging 213 are all obtained by folding the cover body 2.

[0050] In this embodiment, the extending direction of the transition flanging 213 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the root flanging 212 and the extending flanging of the end flanging 211.

[0051] In some other embodiments, the included angle between the extending direction of the transition flanging 213 and the extending direction of the root flanging 212 is less than 90°, the included angle between the extending direction of the transition flanging 213 and the extending flanging of the end flanging 211 is greater than 90°, or the included angle between the extending direction of the transition flanging 213 and the extending direction of the root flanging 212 is greater than 90°, and the included angle between the extending direction of the transition flanging 213 and the extending flanging of the end flanging 211 is less than 90°.

[0052] Optionally, a sealing member 4 is provided between the box body 1 and the cover body 2.

[0053] Under normal conditions, when the electrical component does not generate high-pressure gas, the cover body 2 presses the sealing member 4 against the box body 1. The sealing member 4 is an elastic colloid, which can ensure the sealing performance between the cover body 2 and the box body 1 and prevent dust, impurities, mosquitoes, rainwater, etc. from entering the inside of the box body 1.

[0054] Optionally, a notch is provided at the end of the flanging structure 21, and the notch is used for draining water.

[0055] Optionally, a through hole 41 is provided inside the seal 4 to improve the elastic buffering ability of the seal 4.

[0056] Optionally, the through hole 41 is not communicated with the inside of the box body 1 to prevent rainwater or mosquitoes from entering the inside of the box body 1 through the through hole 41.

[0057] Embodiment Two

[0058] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment Two is that the box body 1 is provided with an outward-turned bearing flange 11, the extending direction of the bearing flange 11 is perpendicular to the depth direction of the box body 1, and the seal 4 is arranged on the bearing flange 11. Setting the bearing flange 11 can increase the contact area between the box body 1 and the cover body 2 and ensure the sealing effect.

[0059] Optionally, the bearing flange 11 is connected with a connecting flange 12, the connecting flange 12 extends along the depth direction of the box body 1, the connecting flange 12 is provided with a connecting hole, the connecting hole of the end flange 211 is coaxially arranged with the connecting hole of the connecting flange 12, and the fastening component 3 vertically penetrates through the end flange 211 and the connecting flange 12 along the X-axis direction.

[0060] Both the connecting flange 12 and the bearing flange 11 are obtained by folding the box body 1. When there is no high-pressure gas inside the box body 1, the end flange 211 is in close contact with the connecting flange 12, which can prevent dust impurities, mosquitoes, rainwater, etc. from entering the U-shaped space of the flange structure 21. After high-pressure gas is generated inside the box body 1, the cover body 2 deforms, the root flange 212, the end flange 211 and the connecting flange 12 are all pulled, the opening of the flange structure 21 is communicated with the inside of the box body 1, and a gap is generated between the end flange 211 and the connecting flange 12 for pressure relief.

[0061] Embodiment Three

[0062] As Figure 5 shown, this embodiment provides an electrical device, including electrical components and a chassis such as in Embodiment One or Embodiment Two, and the electrical components are arranged inside the chassis.

[0063] The electrical device in this embodiment can be an inverter, or a switch box, a distribution box, a current converter, an energy storage device, etc.

[0064] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, rather than limitations on the implementation manners of the present utility model. For those of ordinary skill in the art, various obvious changes, re-adjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present utility model.
