[0020] See Figure 1-6 As shown, the present invention provides an explosion-proof sub-control box that is easy to install, comprising a box body 1 and a mounting plate 2 for mounting electronic components. The open end of the box body 1 is provided with a sealing cover 3, and a plurality of fixing ears 4 are provided on the outer surface of the box body 1 opposite the open end. Horizontally movable positioning clips 5 are symmetrically provided near the lower end of the inner wall of the box body 1, and a vertical limit clip 6 is provided near the upper end of the inner wall of the box body 1. The mounting plate 2 is detachably disposed between the positioning clip 5 and the vertical limit clip 6. Several wiring posts for wiring are provided at the bottom of the box body, and corresponding dustproof structures are provided within the wiring posts. This is common knowledge among those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0021] By providing horizontally adjustable positioning clips and vertically adjustable vertical limit clips to limit and fix the mounting plate, it is possible to install installations of different sizes. In addition, the mounting plate is snap-fitted using the clips, which can effectively simplify the installation process, eliminating the need to align screws with mounting holes, effectively improving installation efficiency and facilitating assembly and disassembly.

[0022] In this embodiment, a ring of rubber strips 7 is provided on the side of the mounting plate 2 that faces the inner wall of the housing 1. The rubber strips 7 are 4-8 mm thick. Several heat dissipation holes 8 are provided on the inner wall of the housing 1, within the ring of rubber strips 7. By providing a cushioned space between the mounting plate and the inner wall of the housing, the rubber strips, in combination with the heat dissipation holes, help dissipate heat, ensuring that the internal temperature of the housing does not rise excessively during operation, thereby reducing the risk of fire and explosion of electronically controlled components. Furthermore, this structure prevents dust from entering the housing through the heat dissipation holes from reaching the front of the mounting plate and contacting the electronically controlled components.

[0023] In this embodiment, the positioning fixture 5 preferably includes a horizontal elongated hole 5a disposed proximal to the lower end of the inner wall of the housing 1, with a first sliding seat 5b disposed within the horizontal elongated hole 5a. The first sliding seat 5b, located within the housing 1, is provided with a right-angled positioning groove 5c, with the two right-angled positioning grooves 5c on the positioning fixtures 5 facing each other. The first sliding seat 5b is threadedly connected to a first fastening screw 5d. The right-angled positioning grooves cooperate with both sides of the lower end of the mounting plate to both limit the mounting plate's position and provide support. The first sliding seat utilizes a square, non-rotatable shape to mate with the horizontal elongated hole, preventing the right-angled positioning grooves from shifting during use, which could affect the assembly of the mounting plate.

[0024] In this embodiment, a rubber pad 9, no less thick than the fixing ear 4, is provided on the outside of the housing 1 at the horizontal slot 5a. The first fastening screw 5d is a six-grade external screw, and a stepped hole 10 for mounting the first fastening screw 5d is provided within the rubber pad 9. The stepped hole 10 is shaped to accommodate the nut of the first fastening screw 5d. When the first fastening screw 5d is engaged with the first sliding seat 5b, the rubber pad 9 blocks the horizontal slot 5a. The nut of the first fastening screw is slightly thicker than the height of the stepped hole. By providing the rubber pad to cover the first fastening screw, the nut of the first fastening screw is prevented from contacting and scratching the wall during installation of the housing. Furthermore, by blocking the horizontal slot, dust from the outside air is prevented from entering the housing through the slot and coming into contact with the electronic control components, ensuring explosion-proof performance.

[0025] In this embodiment, the vertical limit clamp 6 includes two vertical elongated holes 6a symmetrically arranged near the upper end of the inner wall of the housing 1. A second sliding seat 6b is positioned within the vertical elongated holes 6a; an L-shaped baffle 6c is positioned on the second sliding seat 6b within the housing 1; and a second fastening screw 6d is threadedly connected to the second sliding seat 6b. Corresponding rubber pads are also positioned within the vertical elongated holes to mate with the second fastening screw, preventing the second fastening screw's nut from contacting and scratching the wall during housing installation. Furthermore, the rubber pads block the vertical elongated holes, preventing dust from entering the housing through the vertical elongated holes and coming into contact with the electronic control components, thereby ensuring explosion-proof functionality.

[0026] In this embodiment, the sealing cover 3 comprises a cover plate 3a hingedly connected to the open end of the housing 1; a stepped raised ring 3b is provided at the open end of the housing 1, and a flanged ring 3c is provided on the edge of the cover plate 3a to accommodate the stepped raised ring 3b; and a sealing rubber ring 3d is provided on the inner wall of the cover plate 3a to mate with the inner wall of the stepped raised ring 3b. The flanged ring and the stepped raised ring cooperate to provide a primary seal, while the sealing rubber ring and the inner wall of the stepped raised ring cooperate to provide a secondary seal, effectively preventing external dust from entering the housing and coming into contact with the electronic control components. Corresponding screw holes are provided on the cover plate and the housing open end for locking and sealing, a common technique in the art and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0027] To operate, first place the mounting plate with the electronic control components inside the box. Adjust the two right-angle positioning slots to mate with the bottom of the mounting plate and secure with the first screw. Adjust the L-shaped baffle to mate with the top of the mounting plate and secure with the second screw. Once the mounting plate is fixed, feed the wires through the wiring column into the box and connect them to the electronic control components to complete the wiring. Then close the cover, tighten it to the box opening with screws, and mount the box to the appropriate wall or equipment housing using the fixing ears.

[0028] The above embodiments are preferred implementation methods of the present invention and are only used to facilitate the explanation of the present invention. They are not intended to limit the present invention in any form. Any person with ordinary knowledge in the technical field can, without departing from the scope of the technical features of the present invention, make partial changes or modifications to the technical contents disclosed in the present invention and make equivalent embodiments without departing from the technical features of the present invention. These modifications still fall within the scope of the technical features of the present invention.
