Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent distribution boxes, and more specifically, to an intelligent distribution box. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, indicator lights are installed in ordinary distribution boxes only to indicate whether there is an abnormality in the distribution box. Especially for some distribution boxes with multiple inputs and outputs, which can connect to various load modules and input modules, after the distribution box is connected to some modules, the user cannot know the operating status of the corresponding modules through the distribution box, thus reducing the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve or improve the technical problem that the operating status of the modules cannot be displayed to the user after the distribution box is connected to other modules, one objective of this utility model is to provide an intelligent distribution box.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of this utility model provides an intelligent distribution box, comprising: a box body, with an installation port on one side; an inner door panel disposed within the box body, the space within the box body being divided into an electrical control cavity and a display cavity by the inner door panel; a control board disposed within the electrical control cavity; at least one input module disposed within the electrical control cavity, the input module being electrically connected to the control board and used to connect an input cable; a load metering board disposed within the box body, the load metering board including multiple controllable load circuits, the controllable load circuits being used to connect electrical loads; a light board electrically connected to the control board, the light board having multiple indicator lights, at least one indicator light being related to the operating status of the input module, and at least one indicator light being related to the operating status of the electrical load; and a viewing window disposed on the inner door panel, the projection of at least one indicator light on the inner door panel being located within the viewing window.

[0005] According to the intelligent distribution box provided in this application, the box space can be divided into layers by setting an inner door panel. After opening the box, users can directly see the indicator lights through the viewing window on the inner door panel, thereby understanding the operating status of the corresponding modules and facilitating users to quickly grasp the equipment status. Specifically, the intelligent distribution box includes a box body, an inner door panel, a control board, a load metering board, and an indicator light panel. The box body, as the external structure of the entire distribution box, provides a closed and safe environment to protect the internal electrical components. At the same time, by setting an installation port on one side of the box body, it is easier to install, replace, and maintain internal components. The inner door panel divides the internal space of the box body into an electrical control cavity and a display cavity. The electrical control cavity is used to house and protect the control board and input modules, while the display cavity is used to display the status of the indicator lights. The layered design of the door panel separates the electrical components from the user interface, ensuring both safety and convenient user monitoring.

[0006] As can be understood, the control board is the core control unit of the entire distribution box, responsible for processing input signals and controlling the status of indicator lights on the light panel, ensuring that users can understand the operating status of the input modules and electrical loads through the indicator lights. The input modules are installed inside the electrical control cavity and are electrically connected to the control board. Their main responsibility is to receive input signals from external sources (such as mains power input, photovoltaic input, etc.) and transmit these signals to the control board for processing. The load metering board includes multiple controllable load circuits for connecting and managing various electrical loads. It can monitor and control parameters such as current and voltage of the loads and feed this information back to the control board.

[0007] It is important to emphasize that this solution features multiple indicator lights mounted on the light panel, each corresponding to the operating status of a different input module or electrical load. The light panel is electrically connected to the control board, which controls the specific on / off states of the indicator lights to reflect the actual operating status. A viewing window is located on the inner door panel, strategically positioned so that the projection of at least one indicator light is within it. This allows users to directly observe the indicator lights through the viewing window on the inner door panel without opening the entire enclosure, significantly improving the user's ability to visually monitor the operating status of the distribution box and its connected modules, thus enhancing operational convenience and safety.

[0008] In the above technical solution, optionally, the electrical control cavity includes a control cavity, an input cavity, and a load cavity distributed along a first direction. The control board and the lamp board are disposed in the control cavity, the input module is disposed in the input cavity, and the metering load board is disposed in the load cavity. The lamp board is provided with a first signal terminal, and the control board is provided with a second signal terminal. When the first signal terminal and the second signal terminal are connected, the control board is used to control at least one indicator light to display the operating status of the intelligent distribution box.

[0009] In this technical solution, the electrical control cavity is divided into a control cavity, an input cavity, and a load cavity, which are distributed along a first direction. The control cavity is equipped with a control board and an indicator board. The control board is responsible for processing the power signals from the input modules and controlling the indicator lights on the indicator board to display the operating status of the distribution box. The indicator board, through multiple indicator lights on it, is used to intuitively display the operating status of different input modules and electrical loads.

[0010] The first signal terminal on the lamp board is connected to the second signal terminal on the control board, allowing the control board to control the switching of the indicator lights according to the status of the input module.

[0011] In addition, the input chamber houses an input module. The function of this module is to connect external power to the distribution box, ensure efficient power distribution, and transfer power to the load metering board. The independent design of the input chamber makes the installation and maintenance of the input module more convenient, while ensuring its electrical safety and stability. The load chamber contains a load metering board and multiple controllable load circuits mounted on it. These controllable load circuits are used to connect and manage electrical loads. Under the control of the load metering board, the current and voltage status of each load can be monitored, and relevant information is fed back to the control board.

[0012] Through the connection between the first signal terminal on the light panel and the second signal terminal on the control panel, the control panel controls the status of the indicator lights according to the power status provided by the input module, reflecting the overall operation of the distribution box.

[0013] This compartmentalized design not only improves the utilization efficiency of internal space but also enhances the maintainability and operational stability of each functional module. The independent design of each compartment minimizes interference between modules and facilitates modular management and maintenance for users. This design further improves the overall performance and user experience of the intelligent distribution box.

[0014] Optionally, the above technical solution includes: a face cover, which is rotatably connected to the housing to open and close the mounting port.

[0015] The front cover is connected to the enclosure via a hinge or other rotating mechanism, allowing it to rotate around a pivot point to open and close the mounting opening. When closed, the front cover provides physical protection for the internal components, preventing the intrusion of dust, moisture, and other external environmental factors. The rotating connection allows for easy opening and closing of the front cover, facilitating inspection, maintenance, and operation. To observe indicator lights, simply open the front cover; for inspection and maintenance of internal components, the inner door panel can be opened after opening the front cover.

[0016] After opening the front cover, users can directly see the viewing window on the inner door panel and observe the status of the internal indicator lights.

[0017] Optionally, in the above technical solution, the electrical load includes a charging gun assembly, the load metering board is provided with a third signal terminal, and the charging gun assembly is provided with a fourth signal terminal. After the third signal terminal and the fourth signal terminal are connected and the power line of the charging gun assembly is connected to at least one controllable load circuit, the control board is used to control at least one indicator light to display the operating status related to the charging gun assembly.

[0018] An electrical load refers to a device connected to and powered by a distribution box. In this design, the charging gun assembly is a specific electrical load. The charging gun assembly is used to provide charging services for electric vehicles or other devices. Through its connection to the smart distribution box, the charging gun assembly is able to receive power from the distribution box.

[0019] The charging gun assembly is connected to a controllable load circuit on the load metering board via a power line, ensuring a stable power supply. A third signal terminal on the load metering board communicates with a fourth signal terminal of the charging gun assembly, allowing the load metering board to monitor the charging gun assembly's operating status, including charging current and voltage parameters, and feed this information back to the control board.

[0020] After receiving data from the load metering board, the control board can control the indicator lights on the light board to display the operating status of the charging gun assembly (such as charging in progress, charging complete, or fault).

[0021] By integrating the charging gun assembly into the intelligent power distribution box and designing a reasonable signal connection and monitoring mechanism, the system achieves effective management and status display of the charging process. Users can easily understand the charging status through indicator lights, improving the system's intelligence and user-friendliness.

[0022] Optionally, in the above technical solution, the controllable load circuit includes a load circuit breaker, one end of the power line is connected to the load circuit breaker; the inner door panel is provided with a first opening adapted to the load circuit breaker, and part of the input circuit breaker extends out of the first opening.

[0023] A load circuit breaker primarily protects the circuit. When an overload, short circuit, or other abnormal situation occurs in the circuit, the load circuit breaker can automatically disconnect the circuit, preventing the circuit fault from causing more serious safety problems, such as electrical fires. One end of the power line is connected to the load circuit breaker, allowing power to be transmitted from the distribution box to the electrical load (such as a charging gun assembly). In this connection, the load circuit breaker controls and protects power transmission, deciding whether to allow power to continue to be transmitted to the load end based on the actual circuit conditions (such as current magnitude).

[0024] The first opening on the inner door panel provides a specific spatial layout for the load circuit breaker, allowing a portion of the load circuit breaker to extend out.

[0025] The design of extending part of the input circuit breaker from the first opening facilitates user operation and status monitoring of the load circuit breaker. For example, users can manually operate the extended input circuit breaker (such as closing or opening) without opening the entire inner panel, and can visually view its status (such as whether it has tripped).

[0026] The inner door panel divides the enclosure space into layers, and the position of the first opening is adapted to the load circuit breaker. This positional relationship creates an organic connection between the load circuit breaker and the inner door panel. On the one hand, the inner door panel still serves the function of layered protection, separating the electrical control chamber and the display chamber; on the other hand, the first opening allows part of the load circuit breaker to extend, achieving convenient operation and viewing without compromising the overall protective function of the inner door panel.

[0027] Optionally, in the above technical solution, the input module includes an AC power input module, which is used to connect to the AC power input cable. The AC power input module is connected to the control board via signal connection. The control board is used to monitor or control the AC power input module and to control at least one indicator light to display the operating status related to the AC power input module.

[0028] The AC power input module is used to connect to the AC power input cable, bringing AC power into the intelligent distribution box as one of its power sources. The AC power input module is directly connected to the AC power input cable, ensuring the distribution box receives AC power. Simultaneously, the AC power input module establishes a signal connection with the control board, enabling the control board to monitor the module's operating status in real time.

[0029] The control board can monitor various parameters of the mains input module in real time, such as voltage, current, and power, to ensure the stability and safety of the mains input. Based on the monitored data, the control board can perform corresponding control operations on the mains input module, such as promptly cutting off the mains input in case of abnormal mains power to protect the distribution box and connected equipment.

[0030] The control board controls at least one indicator light to display relevant information based on the operating status of the mains input module. For example, when the mains input is normal, the corresponding indicator light is green; when the mains input is abnormal, the corresponding indicator light is red or flashing to alert the user that there is a problem with the mains input.

[0031] Optionally, in the above technical solution, the input module includes a hydraulic input module, which is used to connect a hydraulic input cable, and the hydraulic input module is connected to the control board for signal connection. The control board is used to monitor or control the hydraulic input module, and the control board is used to control at least one indicator light to display the operating status related to the hydraulic input module.

[0032] The hydraulic power input module is used to connect the hydraulic power input cable, introducing hydraulic power into the intelligent distribution box. The module connects directly to the cable, ensuring the distribution box receives a hydraulic power supply. Through the signal connection between the module and the control board, the board can monitor various parameters of the module in real time, such as voltage, current, and power, to ensure the stability and safety of the hydraulic power input.

[0033] Based on the monitored data, the control board can perform corresponding control operations on the hydraulic and electrical input modules. For example, in the event of an abnormality in the hydraulic and electrical input, the input can be cut off in a timely manner to protect the distribution box and connected equipment.

[0034] The control board controls at least one indicator light to display relevant information based on the operating status of the fuel and electric input module. For example, when the fuel and electric input is normal, the corresponding indicator light displays a specific color or status; when the fuel and electric input malfunctions, the indicator light will change its display mode accordingly to alert the user to the problem.

[0035] Optionally, in the above technical solution, the input module includes an input circuit breaker for connecting an input cable; the inner door panel is provided with a second opening adapted to the input circuit breaker, and part of the input circuit breaker extends out of the second opening.

[0036] An input circuit breaker is used to control and protect the circuit connected to the input cable. It automatically disconnects the circuit in case of overload, short circuit, or other abnormal conditions to prevent equipment damage and electrical accidents. In essence, the input circuit breaker is connected to the input cable to ensure that electrical energy can be smoothly transmitted from the external power source to other components within the distribution box.

[0037] In addition, by providing a second opening on the inner door panel that is adapted to the input circuit breaker, some of the input circuit breakers can extend out of the second opening.

[0038] Some input circuit breakers extend into a second opening, allowing users to operate the input circuit breakers directly without opening the entire distribution box, such as closing or opening the circuit, thus improving operational convenience.

[0039] Understandably, the extended input circuit breaker allows users to visually see its status, such as whether it is in the closed or open position, and whether there are any abnormal situations such as tripping, making it easier for users to understand the working status of the circuit in a timely manner.

[0040] Optionally, in the above technical solution, the control board is used to connect the photovoltaic power generation module, and at least one indicator light is related to the operating status of the photovoltaic power generation module.

[0041] The control board connects to the photovoltaic (PV) power generation module, enabling effective monitoring and management of the module. The output power, voltage, current, and other parameters of the PV power generation module change with environmental factors such as sunlight intensity and temperature. The control board can acquire this parameter information in real time, thereby achieving precise control of the PV power generation module.

[0042] In a smart distribution box, the control board, as the core control unit, connects to the photovoltaic power generation module, which helps integrate the electricity generated by photovoltaic power generation with other input energy sources (such as mains power, oil power, etc.). It can rationally allocate power according to the overall power demand of the distribution box and the supply of various energy sources, thereby improving energy utilization efficiency.

[0043] By using at least one indicator light linked to the operating status of the photovoltaic (PV) module, users can obtain an intuitive and visual monitoring method. The operating status of a PV system is affected by various factors, including sunlight conditions, the health of the PV modules, and circuit connections. With these indicator lights, users can quickly determine whether the PV module is operating normally without the need for complex testing equipment.

[0044] Furthermore, when photovoltaic (PV) power generation modules malfunction, such as damaged PV panels leading to reduced power generation efficiency or circuit faults affecting power output, indicator lights related to their operating status can promptly issue signals. For example, the indicator lights may flash or change color to remind users that the PV power generation modules need inspection and maintenance, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the entire intelligent distribution box system.

[0045] Optionally, in the above technical solution, the control board is used to connect to the energy storage device that is electrically connected to the photovoltaic power generation module, and at least one indicator light is related to the operating status of the energy storage device.

[0046] The control board is connected to an energy storage device that is electrically connected to the photovoltaic power generation module. The energy storage device plays a role in energy storage and regulation in the entire intelligent power distribution box system. For example, when the photovoltaic power generation module generates excess electricity, the energy storage device can be charged under the control of the control board to store the excess electricity; and when the photovoltaic power generation module generates insufficient electricity or the demand for electricity suddenly increases, the energy storage device can be discharged under the scheduling of the control board to meet the load demand.

[0047] Connecting and managing energy storage devices through a control board helps improve the stability of the entire intelligent power distribution box system. Energy storage devices can smooth out fluctuations in the output power of photovoltaic power generation modules, reducing power supply instability caused by factors such as changes in sunlight. The control board can rationally arrange the operating mode of the energy storage devices based on parameters such as their state of charge and charging / discharging performance, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the entire system.

[0048] At least one indicator light is associated with the operating status of the energy storage device, providing intuitive information about its operational status. The operating status of the energy storage device includes multiple aspects such as charging status, discharging status, power level, and the presence of faults. Through these indicator lights, users can quickly understand the working status of the energy storage device without the need for complex testing instruments.

[0049] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following description or may be learned by practice of the present invention. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0061] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model, the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0062] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application. However, embodiments of the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0063] The following reference Figures 1 to 9 This invention describes an intelligent distribution box and power distribution system provided according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0064] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides an intelligent distribution box 100. The space of the box 102 can be divided into layers by setting an inner door panel 104. After the user opens the box 102, as shown... Figure 6 As shown, indicator lights 1122 can be directly viewed through the viewing window on the inner door panel 104, allowing users to understand the operating status of the corresponding module and quickly grasp the equipment status. Specifically, as... Figure 4 As shown, the intelligent distribution box 100 includes a box body 102, an inner door panel 104, a control panel 106, a load metering panel 110, and a light panel 112. The box body 102 serves as the external structure of the entire distribution box, providing a closed and safe environment to protect the internal electrical components. Furthermore, the installation port 1022 on one side of the box body 102 facilitates the installation, replacement, and maintenance of internal components. Figure 3As shown, the inner door panel 104 divides the internal space of the cabinet 102 into an electrical control cavity 105 and a display cavity 1042. The electrical control cavity 105 is used to house and protect the control board 106 and the input module 108, while the display cavity 1042 is used to display the status of the indicator light 1122. The layered design of the door panel separates the electrical components from the user interface, ensuring both safety and convenient user monitoring.

[0065] It is understood that the control board 106 is the core control unit of the entire distribution box, responsible for processing input signals and controlling the status of the indicator lights 1122 on the light panel 112, ensuring that users can understand the operating status of the input module 108 and the electrical load through the indicator lights 1122. The input module 108 is installed inside the electrical control cavity 105 and is electrically connected to the control board 106. Its main responsibility is to receive input signals from external sources (such as mains power input, photovoltaic input, etc.) and transmit these signals to the control board 106 for processing. The load metering board 110 includes multiple controllable load loops 1102 for connecting and managing various electrical loads. It can monitor and control parameters such as current and voltage of the loads and feed this information back to the control board 106.

[0066] It is important to emphasize that in this solution, multiple indicator lights 1122 are installed on the light panel 112, each corresponding to the operating status of a different input module 108 or electrical load. The light panel 112 is electrically connected to the control board 106, which controls the specific on / off state of the indicator lights 1122 to reflect the actual working status. The viewing window is located on the inner door panel 104, and its position is designed so that the projection of at least one indicator light 1122 is located within the viewing window. Users can directly observe the indicator lights 1122 through the viewing window on the inner door panel 104 without opening the entire enclosure 102, thereby significantly improving the user's ability to visually monitor the operating status of the distribution box and its connected modules, and enhancing operational convenience and safety.

[0067] In some embodiments, the electrical control cavity 105 is optionally divided into a control cavity 1052, an input cavity 1054, and a load cavity 1056, which are distributed along a first direction. The control cavity 1052 is provided with a control board 106 and an indicator board 112. The control board 106 is responsible for processing the power signals from the input module 108 and controlling the indicator lights 1122 on the indicator board 112 to display the operating status of the distribution box. The indicator board 112, through multiple indicator lights 1122 provided thereon, is used to intuitively display the operating status of different input modules 108 and electrical loads.

[0068] Among them, such as Figure 4As shown, the first signal terminal 1162 on the lamp board 112 is connected to the second signal terminal 1164 on the control board 106, allowing the control board 106 to control the switching of the indicator light 1122 according to the status of the input module 108.

[0069] In addition, the input cavity 1054 houses an input module 108. The function of the input module 108 is to connect the external power supply to the distribution box, ensure the effective distribution of electrical energy, and transmit electrical energy to the load metering board 110. The independent design of the input cavity 1054 makes the installation and maintenance of the input module 108 more convenient, while ensuring the electrical safety and stability of the input module 108. The load cavity 1056 houses the load metering board 110 and multiple controllable load circuits on the load metering board 110. The controllable load circuits are used to connect and manage electrical loads. Under the action of the load metering board 110, the current and voltage status of each load can be monitored, and the relevant information is fed back to the control board 106.

[0070] Through the connection between the first signal terminal 1162 on the light panel 112 and the second signal terminal 1164 on the control board 106, the control board 106 controls the status of the indicator light 1122 according to the power status provided by the input module 108, reflecting the overall operation of the distribution box.

[0071] Through this compartmentalized design, the intelligent distribution box 100 not only improves the utilization efficiency of its internal space but also enhances the maintainability and operational stability of each functional module. The independent arrangement of each compartment minimizes interference between modules and facilitates modular management and maintenance for users. This design further improves the overall performance and user experience of the intelligent distribution box 100.

[0072] In some embodiments, optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cover 118 is connected to the housing 102 via a hinge or other rotating mechanism, and can rotate around a pivot to open and close the mounting port 1022. In the closed state, the cover 118 provides physical protection for the internal components of the housing 102, preventing the intrusion of dust, moisture, and other external environmental factors. Through the rotating connection, the cover 118 can be easily opened and closed, facilitating user inspection, maintenance, and operation. When the user needs to observe the indicator light 1122, they only need to open the cover 118. If internal components need to be inspected or maintained, the inner door panel 104 can be opened after opening the cover 118 for maintenance operations.

[0073] After opening the front cover 118, the user can directly see the viewing window on the inner door panel 104 and observe the status of the internal indicator light 1122.

[0074] An electrical load refers to a device connected to and powered by a distribution box. In some embodiments, optionally, the charging gun assembly 103 is a specific electrical load. The charging gun assembly 103 is used to provide charging services for electric vehicles or other devices. Through its connection with the smart distribution box 100, the charging gun assembly 103 is able to receive power from the distribution box.

[0075] Among them, such as Figure 9 As shown, the charging gun assembly 103 is connected to the controllable load circuit on the load metering board 110 via a power line to ensure a stable power supply. The load metering board 110 has a third signal terminal 1166 for communication with the fourth signal terminal 1168 of the charging gun assembly 103. This allows the load metering board 110 to monitor the operating status of the charging gun assembly 103, including parameters such as charging current and voltage, and to feed this information back to the control board 106.

[0076] After receiving data from the load metering board 110, the control board 106 can control the indicator light 1122 on the light board 112 to display the operating status of the charging gun assembly 103 (such as charging, charging completed, or fault).

[0077] By integrating the charging gun assembly 103 into the intelligent distribution box 100 and designing a reasonable signal connection and monitoring mechanism, the system achieves effective management and status display of the charging process. Users can easily understand the charging status through the indicator light 1122, improving the system's intelligence and user-friendliness.

[0078] In some embodiments, optionally, the load circuit breaker 120 primarily functions to protect the circuit. When an overload, short circuit, or other abnormal condition occurs in the circuit, the load circuit breaker 120 can automatically disconnect the circuit to prevent the circuit fault from causing more serious safety problems, such as electrical fires. One end of the power line is connected to the load circuit breaker 120, allowing power to be transmitted from the distribution box to the electrical load (such as a charging gun assembly). In this connection, the load circuit breaker 120 plays a role in controlling and protecting power transmission; it can decide whether to allow power to continue to be transmitted to the load end based on the actual conditions of the circuit (such as the current magnitude).

[0079] like Figure 5 As shown, the first opening 1044 provided on the inner door panel 104 provides a specific spatial layout for the load circuit breaker 120, allowing a portion of the load circuit breaker 120 to extend out.

[0080] Part of the input circuit breaker 1086 extends out of the first opening 1044. This design facilitates the user's operation and status monitoring of the load circuit breaker 120. For example, the user can manually operate the extended input circuit breaker 1086 (such as closing or opening) without opening the entire inner door panel 104, and can intuitively view its status (such as whether it has tripped).

[0081] The inner door panel 104 divides the space of the enclosure 102 into layers, and the position of the first opening 1044 is adapted to the load circuit breaker 120. This positional relationship creates an organic combination between the load circuit breaker 120 and the inner door panel 104. On the one hand, the inner door panel 104 still serves the function of layered protection, separating the electrical control cavity 105 and the display cavity 1042; on the other hand, the first opening 1044 allows part of the load circuit breaker 120 to extend out, achieving convenient operation and viewing, while not affecting the overall protective function of the inner door panel 104.

[0082] In some embodiments, optionally, such as Figure 7 As shown, the mains input module 1082 is used to connect to the mains input cable, introducing mains power into the intelligent distribution box 100 as one of the power sources for the distribution box. The mains input module 1082 is directly connected to the mains input cable to ensure that the distribution box can receive mains power. At the same time, the mains input module 1082 establishes a signal connection with the control board 106, enabling the control board 106 to monitor the working status of the mains input module 1082 in real time.

[0083] The control board 106 can monitor various parameters of the mains input module 1082 in real time, such as voltage, current, and power, to ensure the stability and safety of the mains input. Based on the monitored data, the control board 106 can perform corresponding control operations on the mains input module 1082, such as cutting off the mains input in time when an abnormality occurs, to protect the distribution box and connected equipment.

[0084] The control board 106 controls at least one indicator light 1122 to display relevant information based on the operating status of the mains input module 1082. For example, when the mains input is normal, the corresponding indicator light 1122 lights up green; when the mains input is abnormal, the corresponding indicator light 1122 lights up red or flashes to alert the user that there is a problem with the mains input.

[0085] In some embodiments, optionally, such as Figure 7As shown, the oil-electric input module 1084 is used to connect the oil-electric input cable, introducing oil-electric energy into the intelligent distribution box 100. The oil-electric input module 1084 is directly connected to the oil-electric input cable, ensuring that the distribution box can receive oil-electric energy. Through the signal connection between the oil-electric input module 1084 and the control board 106, the control board 106 can monitor various parameters of the oil-electric input module 1084 in real time, such as voltage, current, and power, to ensure the stability and safety of the oil-electric input.

[0086] Based on the monitored data, the control board 106 can perform corresponding control operations on the hydraulic and electrical input module 1084. For example, when an abnormality occurs in the hydraulic and electrical input, the hydraulic and electrical input can be cut off in a timely manner to protect the distribution box and connected equipment.

[0087] The control board 106 controls at least one indicator light 1122 to display relevant information based on the operating status of the fuel and electrical input module 1084. For example, when the fuel and electrical input is normal, the corresponding indicator light 1122 displays a specific color or status; when the fuel and electrical input malfunctions, the indicator light 1122 will change its display mode accordingly to remind the user that there is a problem with the fuel and electrical input.

[0088] In some embodiments, the input circuit breaker 1086 is optionally used to control and protect the circuit connected to the input cable, and can automatically disconnect the circuit in the event of overload, short circuit or other abnormal conditions to prevent equipment damage and electrical accidents. It is understood that the input circuit breaker 1086 is connected to the input cable to ensure that electrical energy can be smoothly transmitted from the external power source to other components within the distribution box.

[0089] In addition, such as Figure 5 As shown, by providing a second opening 1046 on the inner door panel 104 that is adapted to the input circuit breaker 1086, a portion of the input circuit breaker 1086 can extend out of the second opening 1046.

[0090] The input circuit breaker 1086 extends out through a second opening 1046, allowing users to operate the input circuit breaker 1086 directly without opening the entire distribution box, such as performing closing or opening operations, thus improving the ease of operation.

[0091] Understandably, the extended input circuit breaker 1086 allows users to intuitively see its status, such as whether it is in the closed or open position, and whether there are any abnormal situations such as tripping, so that users can understand the working status of the circuit in a timely manner.

[0092] In some embodiments, optionally, such as Figure 8As shown, the control board 106 is connected to the photovoltaic power generation module 122, enabling the control board 106 to effectively monitor and manage the photovoltaic power generation module 122. The output power, voltage, current and other parameters of the photovoltaic power generation module 122 will change with environmental factors such as light intensity and temperature. The control board 106 can obtain these parameter information in real time, thereby realizing fine control of the photovoltaic power generation module 122.

[0093] In the intelligent distribution box 100, the control board 106 serves as the core control unit, connecting to the photovoltaic power generation module 122 to facilitate the integration of electricity generated by photovoltaic power generation with other input energy sources (such as mains power, oil power, etc.). It can rationally allocate electrical energy according to the overall power demand of the distribution box and the supply of various energy sources, thereby improving energy utilization efficiency.

[0094] At least one indicator light 1122 is linked to the operating status of the photovoltaic power generation module 122, providing users with an intuitive and visual monitoring method. The operating status of the photovoltaic power generation system is affected by various factors, including sunlight conditions, the health of the photovoltaic modules, and circuit connection status. Through the indicator light 1122, users can quickly understand whether the photovoltaic power generation module 122 is operating normally without the need for complex testing equipment.

[0095] Furthermore, when the photovoltaic power generation module 122 malfunctions, such as a damaged photovoltaic panel leading to reduced power generation efficiency or a circuit fault affecting power output, the indicator light 1122 related to the operating status can promptly issue a signal. For example, the indicator light 1122 may flash or change color to remind the user that the photovoltaic power generation module 122 needs to be inspected and maintained, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the entire intelligent distribution box 100 system.

[0096] For example, when the photovoltaic power generation module 122 is generating electricity normally, the corresponding indicator light 1122 may remain constantly lit (e.g., green), indicating that the photovoltaic power generation module 122 is stably supplying power to the distribution box. In cases of insufficient sunlight (such as cloudy days, early morning, or evening), the power generation capacity of the photovoltaic power generation module 122 will decrease. At this time, the indicator light 1122 may flash at a slower frequency or display a yellow or other color, indicating to the user that although the photovoltaic power generation module 122 is working, its power generation capacity is limited. If the photovoltaic power generation module 122 malfunctions, the indicator light 1122 may flash rapidly or display red, clearly informing the user that the photovoltaic power generation module 122 needs to be inspected and repaired.

[0097] In some embodiments, optionally, such as Figure 8As shown, the control board 106 is connected to the energy storage device 124, which is electrically connected to the photovoltaic power generation module 122. The energy storage device 124 plays a role in energy storage and regulation in the entire intelligent distribution box 100 system. For example, when the photovoltaic power generation module 122 generates excess electrical energy, the energy storage device 124 can be charged under the control of the control board 106 to store the excess electrical energy; while when the photovoltaic power generation module 122 generates insufficient power or the demand for electricity suddenly increases, the energy storage device 124 can be discharged under the scheduling of the control board 106 to meet the load demand.

[0098] The connection and management of the energy storage device 124 via the control board 106 helps improve the stability of the entire intelligent distribution box 100 system. The energy storage device 124 can smooth fluctuations in the output power of the photovoltaic power generation module 122, reducing power supply instability caused by factors such as changes in sunlight. The control board 106 can rationally arrange the operating mode of the energy storage device 124 based on parameters such as its power status and charge / discharge performance, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the entire system.

[0099] At least one indicator light 1122 is associated with the operating status of the energy storage device 124, providing intuitive information about its operational status. The operating status of the energy storage device 124 includes multiple aspects such as charging status, discharging status, power level, and the presence of faults. Through the indicator light 1122, users can quickly understand the operating status of the energy storage device 124 without the need for complex testing instruments.

[0100] For example, when the energy storage device 124 is charging, the corresponding indicator light 1122 may display in a specific way, such as flashing green. This indicates that the energy storage device 124 is receiving and storing electrical energy, and the user can intuitively know that the energy storage device 124 is charging. If the energy storage device 124 is discharging, the indicator light 1122 may display a solid blue light or flash blue light at a slower frequency, informing the user that the energy storage device 124 is outputting electrical energy to meet load demand or supplement the insufficient supply of other energy sources.

[0101] Indicator light 1122 can also be used to indicate the power level of energy storage device 124. For example, when energy storage device 124 has sufficient power, indicator light 1122 may display a bright green; as the power decreases, the brightness of indicator light 1122 may gradually decrease or the color may change, such as turning yellow to indicate a medium power level, or turning red to indicate a low power level, reminding the user to pay attention to the power status of energy storage device 124 or take corresponding measures, such as adjusting the load usage strategy or preparing to charge energy storage device 124.

[0102] When the energy storage device 124 malfunctions, such as battery damage or charging / discharging circuit failure, the indicator light 1122 related to the operating status of the energy storage device 124 will display in a clearly abnormal manner, such as rapidly flashing red light or continuously displaying red, to prompt the user that there is a problem with the energy storage device 124 and it needs to be repaired.

[0103] According to the intelligent power distribution box provided by this utility model, the box space can be divided into layers by setting an inner door panel. After opening the box, the user can directly see the indicator lights through the viewing window on the inner door panel, thereby understanding the operating status of the corresponding module and making it easy for the user to quickly grasp the equipment status.
