[0027] In order to solve the problem of poor wiring reliability in the junction box in the prior art, the present application provides a junction box for intrinsic safety circuit.
[0028] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, the intrinsically safe circuit terminal box comprises a box body 10 and a circuit assembly. The box body 10 has a wire hole 11 and a receiving cavity 12 in communication with each other, and the wire hole 11 is used for the wire harness to pass through. The circuit assembly is located in the receiving cavity 12, and the circuit assembly comprises a circuit board 20 and a terminal 30 arranged on the circuit board 20, and the terminal 30 is electrically connected with the circuit board 20. The terminal 30 comprises a body 31 and a wire locking structure 32 movably arranged on the body 31, and the body 31 has a wire hole 311, and one end of the wire harness passes through the wire hole 311 and is connected with the circuit board 20; after the wire harness extends into the wire hole 311, the wire locking structure 32 is used for pressing the wire harness.
[0029] According to the technical scheme of the embodiment, after the wire harness extends into the wire hole 311, the wire locking structure 32 presses the wire harness to prevent the wire harness from being pulled out of the wire hole 311 and affecting the wiring stability, thereby solving the problem of poor wiring reliability in the terminal box in the prior art and improving the wiring stability of the terminal box.
[0030] Optionally, the wire hole 311 is in multiple groups, the multiple groups of wire holes 311 are arranged at intervals along a first direction of the circuit board 20, each group of wire holes 311 comprises at least two sub-wire holes 3111 arranged at intervals along a second direction, and the wire locking structure 32 is in multiple groups, and the multiple groups of wire locking structures 32 are arranged one-to-one corresponding to the multiple sub-wire holes 3111. In this way, the above arrangement of the number of wire holes 311 and the arrangement mode is more flexible to meet different use requirements and working conditions, and also improves the processing flexibility of the workers.
[0031] In the embodiment, the first direction is the length direction of the circuit board 20, and the second direction is the width direction of the circuit board 20. Each group of wire holes 311 comprises two sub-wire holes 3111. In this way, the above arrangement of the multiple groups of wire holes 311 and the wire locking structure 32 improves the wiring density and flexibility of the terminal box, and is suitable for complex circuit systems that require a large number of wire harness connections.
[0032] Specifically, the above arrangement of the wire hole 311 and the wire locking structure 32 enables the terminal box to realize more wire harness connections in a limited space, not only reduces the occupied space of the terminal box, but also improves the control accuracy and operation efficiency of the automatic production line.
[0033] As shown in the figure, Figure 3 The terminal 30 has a plurality of measurement holes 33, and the plurality of measurement holes 33 are arranged one-to-one corresponding to the multiple groups of wire holes 311. In this way, the above arrangement of the measurement holes 33 facilitates circuit detection without damaging the circuit connection, improves the convenience and safety of circuit maintenance. At the same time, the above arrangement makes the number of measurement holes 33 more flexible to meet different use requirements and working conditions, and also improves the processing flexibility of the workers.
[0034] In this embodiment, wire hole 11 is a tapered hole, with its inner diameter gradually increasing from the inside to the outside of accommodating cavity 12. This tapered hole provides a better seal when the wiring harness passes through, preventing dust and moisture from entering the junction box. This effectively improves the junction box's protection level and ensures stable operation of the circuit outdoors or in harsh environments.
[0035] In this embodiment, the wire locking structure 32 includes a pressure rod, an operating rod, and an elastic structure. The operating rod is connected to the pressure rod and is arranged at an angle to the pressure rod. The ends of the elastic structure respectively abut the pressure rod and the wiring harness to apply an elastic compressive force to the wiring harness. The operating rod drives the pressure rod to rotate relative to the body 31, so that the pressure rod compresses the elastic structure. This arrangement makes the structure of the wire locking structure 32 simpler, easier to process and implement, and reduces the processing cost and difficulty of the wire locking structure 32.
[0036] Specifically, the above arrangement of the wire locking structure not only ensures the fastening of the wire harness, but also provides additional stability through the elastic pressing force of the elastic structure.
[0037] Optionally, the elastic structure is a spring.
[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the main body 31 also has a mounting hole 312, which communicates with the threading hole 311. When the pressure lever compresses the wiring harness, at least a portion of the operating lever is located within the mounting hole 312, while at least another portion of the operating lever is positioned within the mounting hole 312 and a stop is formed between the main body 31. Multiple mounting holes 312 are provided, each corresponding to a plurality of wire locking structures 32. This arrangement of mounting holes 312 not only provides space for the operating lever to move, but also ensures the stability and accuracy of the wire locking structures 32 through the stop.
[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the main body 31 includes a plurality of plates 313 spaced apart along the second direction. Each plate 313 has a set of wire holes 311, at least one current measurement hole 33, and at least two mounting holes 312. Each set of wire holes 311 includes two sub-wire holes 3111, with at least one current measurement hole 33 located between the two sub-wire holes 3111. At least one mounting hole 312 is located between a wire hole 311 and at least one current measurement hole 33. This arrangement simplifies the structure of the main body 31, making it easier to manufacture and implement, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the junction box. Furthermore, the use of the plates 313 effectively improves the space utilization of the junction box, while facilitating circuit layout and maintenance.
[0040] In this embodiment, the plate body 313 has a group of wire threading holes 311, an electrical measuring hole 33 and two mounting holes 312. Each group of wire threading holes 311 includes two sub-wire threading holes 3111, an electrical measuring hole 33 is located between the two sub-wire threading holes 3111, and an mounting hole 312 is located between a wire threading hole 311 and an electrical measuring hole 33.
[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the box body 10 includes a base plate 13, a surrounding plate 14, and a cover plate 15. The surrounding plate 14 is disposed on and connected to the base plate 13 and has a wire hole 11. The cover plate 15 is removably mounted on the surrounding plate 14 to form a receiving cavity 12 between the surrounding plate 14 and the base plate 13. The removable design of the cover plate 15 not only facilitates the installation and removal of the junction box, but also facilitates the replacement and maintenance of circuit components. Furthermore, the above arrangement simplifies the structure of the box body 10, making it easier to process and implement, thereby reducing the processing cost and difficulty of the box body 10.
[0042] In this embodiment, the enclosure 14 is a quadrilateral enclosure, and the cover 15 is connected to the enclosure 14 via fasteners.
[0043] Optionally, the fastener is a screw or a bolt.
[0044] Optionally, the outer surface of the operating lever is provided with anti-slip grooves. Such anti-slip grooves can increase the friction between the operating lever and the fingers, ensuring stable and accurate operation even with wet hands or wearing gloves, making it suitable for various operating environments and improving the convenience of using the junction box.
[0045] In this embodiment, a conductive copper sheet is disposed within the wire hole 311, and the wire harness inserted into the wire hole 311 is electrically connected to the circuit board 20 via the conductive copper sheet. This arrangement not only improves electrical conductivity between the wire harness and the circuit board 20 but also prevents wear of the wire harness to a certain extent, thereby extending the service life of the junction box.
[0046] Specifically, the use of conductive copper sheets improves the conductivity and connection stability between the wiring harness and the circuit board 20, and is suitable for various occasions requiring long-term stable operation, effectively reducing the circuit failure rate, extending the service life of the junction box, and improving the system's operating safety and stability.
[0047] Optionally, the box body 10 is made of a flame retardant material. In this way, the above configuration improves the flame retardant performance of the junction box and avoids safety accidents.
[0048] Optionally, reinforcing ribs are provided at the connection between the bottom plate 13 and the surrounding plate 14 to improve the overall structural strength of the box body 10 through the reinforcing ribs.
[0049] Optionally, there are multiple reinforcing ribs, which are arranged at intervals around the circumference of the enclosure 14.
[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the intrinsically safe circuit junction box further includes a connector 40 , which is passed through the wire hole 11 .
[0051] Optionally, there are multiple connectors 40 , and the multiple connectors 40 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the multiple wire holes 11 .
[0052] In this embodiment, there are four connectors 40 , two connectors 40 are located on one side, and the other two connectors 40 are located on the other side.
[0053] It should be noted that the number of connectors 40 is not limited to this and can be adjusted according to working conditions and usage requirements. Optionally, there are two, three, five, or more connectors 40.
[0054] Specifically, when using terminal block 30, peel the wire harness approximately 10 mm, rotate the operating lever, and then insert the wires into the threading holes 311 one by one. Press the operating lever to lock the harness. After wiring is complete, use the electrical test hole 33 to test the wiring harness for correctness. If the connection is incorrect, repeat the above wiring steps.
[0055] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:
[0056] A junction box for intrinsically safe circuits includes a box body with interconnected wire holes and a receiving cavity. The wire holes are for passing a wiring harness through; a circuit assembly located within the receiving cavity.
