[0043] In this embodiment, the first fuse box body 10 and the fuse modules, busbars, terminals, etc. thereon can be formed into a whole which is an instrument fuse box, and the second fuse box body 20 and the fuse modules, relay modules, busbars, terminals, etc. thereon can be formed into a whole which is a front cabin fuse box. The present disclosure does not limit the number of each whole or the specific function of each whole, nor does it limit the specific fuse models, relay models, etc. contained in each whole. The present disclosure focuses on the fact that each whole can be designed to correspond to a specific vehicle module platform. Furthermore, each whole can be assembled together through a snap-fit ​​structure to adapt to different module platforms. Therefore, this modular fuse box assembly has the advantages of short development time and wide application range.

[0044] In this embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, the first fuse module includes multiple slow-blow fuse sockets 402 and multiple MINI fuse sockets 401. The slow-blow fuse sockets 402 can be equipped with fuses with a rated current of 20A-60A, while the MINI fuse sockets 401 can be equipped with fuses with a rated current of 1A-30A. The multiple slow-blow fuse sockets 402 and the multiple MINI fuse sockets 401 are connected to the first terminal 101 via a first bus bar, so that the slow-blow fuse sockets 402 and the MINI fuse sockets 401 are all powered by the same power source.

[0045] In this embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, the second fuse module may also include multiple slow-blow fuse sockets 402 and multiple MINI fuse sockets 401. The slow-blow fuse sockets 402 may be provided with fuses with a rated current of 20A-60A, and the MINI fuse sockets 401 may be provided with fuses with a rated current of 1A-30A.

[0046] In this embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, the relay module includes multiple CMA36 relay sockets 501 , multiple HFV11 relay sockets 502 , and multiple 4133 relay sockets 503 .

[0047] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the above-mentioned relay module and the second fuse module can be connected to the second terminal 201 through the second bus. The second terminal 201 can be understood as the power input terminal, and the second terminal 201 and the first terminal 101 are connected through the wiring harness 60, thereby realizing the electrical connection of the two box bodies.

[0048] Specifically, in order to achieve stable assembly between different box bodies, the clamping structure includes at least one first clamping structure and at least one second clamping structure, and the first clamping structure is different from the second clamping structure.

[0049] More specifically, if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the first fuse box body 10 has a first assembly side 102, and the second fuse box body 20 has a second assembly side 202 installed corresponding to the first assembly side 102. The first clamping structure includes a first guide groove 103 provided on the first assembly side 102 and a pair of first plug-in boards 203 provided on the second assembly side 202. A first clamping member 104 is provided in the first guide groove 103, and a second clamping member 204 is provided between the pair of first plug-in boards 203. During the process of the first plug-in board 203 being inserted into the first guide groove 103, the second clamping member 204 and the first clamping member 104 are squeezed against each other until the second clamping member 204 slides to the bottom of the first clamping member 104 and is clamped to the first clamping member 104.

[0050] It is understandable that Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the upper surface of the first clip 104 is inclined along the insertion direction, so that the side elevation of the first clip 104 is similar to an upright right triangle. The lower surface of the second clip 204 is inclined along the insertion direction to match the upper surface of the first clip 104, so that the side elevation of the second clip 204 is similar to an inverted right triangle. Therefore, when the first plugboard 203 is inserted into the first guide groove 103, the second clip 204 can be pressed against the first clip 104 under the guidance of the two inclined surfaces and move over the first clip 104, so that the right angle side of the first clip 104 and the right angle side of the second clip 204 are mutually engaged.

[0051] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first assembly side surface 102 is provided with a pair of first guide ribs 105, which together with the first assembly side surface 102 form the first guide groove 103. The second assembly side surface 202 is recessed at locations corresponding to the first guide groove 103 to form a first recessed space 205, and the pair of first plug-in boards 203 are disposed within the first recessed space 205. Thus, due to the presence of the first recessed space 205, the pair of first guide ribs 105 forming the first guide groove 103 can be accommodated within the first recessed space 205 only after the pair of first plug-in boards 203 are plugged into the first guide groove 103.

[0052] Preferably, if Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the extended end of the first plug board 203 is suspended in the first recessed space 205. Therefore, the first guide groove 103 for receiving the first plug board 203 does not need to pass through the first assembly side surface 102 in the plugging direction.

[0053] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the second clamping structure includes a second guide groove 106 provided on the first assembly side 102 and a pair of second plug-in boards 206 provided on the second assembly side 202. A third clamping member 107 is provided in the second guide groove 106, and a fourth clamping member 207 is provided between the pair of second plug-in boards 206. When the pair of second plug-in boards 206 are plugged into the second guide groove 106, the fourth clamping member 207 and the third clamping member 107 are pressed against each other until the fourth clamping member 207 slides to the bottom of the third clamping member 107 and is clamped with the third clamping member 107. It can be understood that in this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, the structure of the third clamping member 107 may be similar to that of the first clamping member 104 , and the structure of the fourth clamping member 207 may be similar to that of the second clamping member 204 .

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, the position on the second assembly side 202 corresponding to the second guide groove 106 is recessed to form a second recessed space 208, and a pair of limiting ribs 209 connected to the pair of second plug-in boards 206 are provided in the second recessed space 208 to support the pair of second plug-in boards 206 to protrude from the second assembly side 202.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, the corresponding paired second plug-in boards 206 on the first assembly side 102 are recessed to form a third recessed space 108 , and a pair of second guide ribs 109 are provided in the third recessed space 108 . The paired second guide ribs 109 and the third recessed space 108 form a second guide groove 106 .

[0056] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, after the paired second plug-in boards 206 are plugged into the second guide slots 106 , the limiting ribs 209 are matched into the third recessed space 108 .

[0057] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, the clamping structure also includes a third clamping structure, which includes a third guide groove 301 arranged on the first assembly side 102 and a third plug-in board 302 arranged on the second assembly side 202. The third guide groove 301 passes through the first assembly side 102 in the height direction. After the third plug-in board 302 is plugged into the third guide groove 301, the third plug-in board 302 is completely accommodated in the third guide groove 301.

[0058] Although the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure have been described, those skilled in the art may make additional changes and modifications to these embodiments once they have learned the basic creative concepts. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments and all changes and modifications that fall within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0059] Obviously, those skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications to the embodiments of the present disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Thus, if such changes and modifications of the embodiments of the present disclosure fall within the scope of the claims of the present disclosure and their equivalents, the present disclosure is intended to include such changes and modifications.

[0060] It should also be understood that in the embodiments herein, the term "and / or" merely describes an association between associated objects, indicating that three possible relationships exist. For example, "A and / or B" could represent: A alone, A and B together, or B alone. Furthermore, the character " / " in this document generally indicates an "or" relationship between the associated objects.

[0061] Specific embodiments are used in this article to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this article. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the methods and core ideas of this article. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, based on the ideas of this article, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope.
