Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent distribution boxes, and more specifically, to an intelligent distribution box and a box assembly. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional distribution boxes have different assembly methods depending on the installation scenario. For example, in outdoor scenarios, the distribution box is assembled onto a corresponding column bracket, while in indoor scenarios, it is embedded in the wall. In related technologies, distribution boxes only have a single fixed assembly method, namely column assembly or embedded assembly. For different assembly methods, corresponding installation boxes are designed separately. In actual installation, the installation scenario of the distribution box may change, causing the fixed assembly method to fail to complete the installation, and requiring it to be sent back to the manufacturer for replacement. This results in an excessively long installation cycle and poor versatility. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to solve or improve the above-mentioned technical problems of long assembly cycle and poor versatility of distribution boxes, one objective of this utility model is to provide an intelligent distribution box.
[0004] Another objective of this invention is to provide a housing assembly.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of this utility model provides an intelligent distribution box, comprising: a box body, the rear wall of which is provided with at least one connection port and at least one mounting port, the connection port being for a connector to pass through to connect the box body to a mounting surface; a sealing plug being detachably connected to the connection port, the sealing plug being sealed to the connection port; and a bracket connector being detachably connected to the mounting port, the bracket connector being detachably connected to a mounting bracket disposed on the mounting surface; wherein, the intelligent distribution box is connected to the mounting surface through the connection port, or, when the sealing plug is connected to the connection port, the intelligent distribution box is connected to the mounting bracket on the mounting surface through the bracket connector.
[0006] The intelligent distribution box provided in this application includes a box body, sealing plugs, and bracket connectors. Through detachable connections and a sealed design, the distribution box offers flexibility and adaptability, allowing for either recessed installation or wall-mounted installation depending on actual installation needs. Different connection methods ensure the distribution box is securely mounted on the wall while maintaining the safety and protection of internal equipment. In particular, the sealed design guarantees waterproof and dustproof performance during wall-mounted installation, making the distribution box suitable for more complex installation environments.
[0007] Specifically, the enclosure is the main structure of the distribution box, bearing all internal components and ensuring their stability and safety. The enclosure needs to have sufficient strength and protective performance to prevent external factors (such as water and dust) from damaging the internal components.
[0008] By providing connection ports and mounting ports on the rear wall of the enclosure, the design of the connection ports allows the distribution box to be fixed to a wall or other mounting surface via connectors, facilitating easy installation. The connection ports also provide installation interfaces for both recessed and wall-mounted installations.
[0009] The location and number of connection ports can be flexibly adjusted to ensure the distribution box can be firmly fixed in different installation environments. The connection ports are usually located on the rear wall of the box.
[0010] It is important to emphasize that the sealing plug is used to seal the connection port, providing waterproof and dustproof protection when the distribution box does not need to be installed through the connection port, thus protecting the internal electrical components. The sealing plug is detachably connected to the connection port, allowing for easy removal when needed, ensuring the distribution box's airtightness and protective performance.
[0011] An installation port is provided on the rear wall of the enclosure as a connection interface between the bracket connector and the enclosure, responsible for connecting the distribution box and the mounting bracket. The installation port is located on the rear side of the enclosure so that the bracket can support the weight of the enclosure and ensure the stability of the equipment after installation.
[0012] The bracket connector is a key component for connecting the distribution box to the mounting bracket, supporting the wall-mounted installation of the distribution box.
[0013] The bracket connector design allows the distribution box to be securely mounted to a wall or other vertical surface, providing stable support. The bracket connector is detachable, facilitating future adjustments or maintenance, enabling the distribution box to be firmly installed without being embedded in the wall, while maintaining a high degree of flexibility.
[0014] The mounting bracket is typically fixed to a wall or other suitable mounting surface, providing load-bearing support for the bracket connectors. Of course, the mounting bracket can be designed as an adjustable bracket to adapt to the needs of different installation environments.
[0015] Connection ports and bracket connectors are the main connection points for mounting the distribution box to the mounting surface. The distribution box is connected to the wall (or mounting bracket) through the connection ports, or the connection ports are sealed with sealing plugs, and then the distribution box is fixed to the bracket using bracket connectors. The connection ports and bracket connectors need to be able to be quickly connected and disassembled to ensure convenience during installation and a tight seal after disassembly.
[0016] The sealing plug and the connection port are detachably connected to achieve a seal, preventing water or dust from entering the distribution box. Their fit must consider both sealing performance and ease of disassembly. Once the sealing plug is installed, it effectively ensures the protective performance of the distribution box when wall-mounted.
[0017] The bracket connectors, through their detachable connection to the mounting brackets, ensure the stable installation of the distribution box on the brackets. While the mounting brackets are typically in a fixed position, the bracket connectors need to be designed to be adjustable or quick-release to adapt to different installation environments.
[0018] In the above technical solution, optionally, the inner wall of the connection port is provided with a first thread, the sealing plug includes a connected part and an end cap part, the outside of the connecting part is provided with a second thread, and the connection port and the sealing plug are detachably connected by the threaded connection of the first thread and the second thread.
[0019] A first thread is provided on the inner wall of the connection port, and a second thread is provided on the outer part of the sealing plug's connection portion, realizing a threaded connection between the distribution box and the sealing plug. This greatly enhances sealing and disassembly, ensuring that the sealing plug can be firmly connected to the connection port and preventing the sealing plug from loosening or falling off during the installation of the distribution box. The threaded connection method has strong fixing force and can withstand external vibration or impact, thereby improving the stability of the entire distribution box.
[0020] The sealing plug consists of a connecting part and an end cap. The end cap primarily serves a sealing function, ensuring that the interior of the distribution box is protected from external environmental factors (such as water and dust), thus guaranteeing equipment safety. When the connecting port is not used during installation, it is sealed to prevent water and dust from entering the distribution box. When the second thread on the outside of the connecting part is threaded into the first thread inside the connecting port, the end cap tightly seals the rest of the sealing plug against the connecting port, ensuring the distribution box's airtightness.
[0021] Optionally, in the above technical solution, when the sealing plug is connected to the connection port, the end cap is sealed and fitted to the rear wall of the box.
[0022] After the sealing plug is connected to the connection port, the end cap and the rear wall are sealed together, effectively sealing the connection port. After the sealing plug is fixed to the connection port by a threaded connection, the end cap fits tightly against the rear wall of the enclosure, forming a complete closed system. The sealed design gives the entire distribution box stronger waterproof and dustproof capabilities, making it especially suitable for use in harsh environments, such as outdoor assembly or industrial environments.
[0023] Furthermore, the tight fit between the end cap and the rear wall of the enclosure effectively disperses external forces, increasing the stability of the distribution box during installation. This sealed fit ensures that the distribution box is not easily affected by vibration or external forces during installation, preventing loosening of connections or seal failure due to external forces, thus maintaining the long-term stable operation of the distribution box.
[0024] Optionally, the above technical solution further includes a threaded sealing ring disposed between the first thread and the second thread, which is used to seal the gap between the first thread and the second thread.
[0025] By placing a threaded sealing ring between the first and second threads, the sealing performance between the sealing plug and the connection port is further improved. It is understandable that due to manufacturing processes and material properties, there may be minute gaps between the first and second threads. The main function of the threaded sealing ring is to fill these gaps, preventing water, dust, and other external substances from entering the distribution box through the gaps between the threads.
[0026] When the sealing plug is connected to the connection port via threads, the threaded sealing ring is compressed, forming a tight sealing layer between the threads. This works in conjunction with the sealing fit of the end cover and the rear wall of the enclosure to ensure the airtightness of the distribution box from multiple levels, providing a higher level of protection for the electrical equipment inside the distribution box.
[0027] In the above technical solution, optionally, the bracket connector specifically includes: a fitting part, which has a first opening adapted to the mounting port; and an insertion part, which is connected to the fitting part and has an insertion plate corresponding to the insertion hole of the mounting bracket.
[0028] The bracket connector includes a fitting part and an insertion part. The first port on the fitting part, which is adapted to the mounting port, plays a positioning and adaptation role, so that the bracket connector can accurately align with the mounting port on the housing. This precise adaptation relationship provides a stable foundation for subsequent connections.
[0029] When the distribution box is mounted on the mounting bracket via the bracket connector, the fitting part fits tightly against the box surface around the mounting opening, which can evenly distribute the weight of the distribution box and any external forces it may be subjected to. This helps prevent excessive local pressure from damaging the box and ensures the overall structural stability of the distribution box.
[0030] In the above technical solution, optionally, the fitting part and the insertion part are integrally formed.
[0031] The fitting and insertion parts are integrally molded, ensuring the continuity of stress transmission between them. When the distribution box is mounted on the mounting bracket via the bracket connector, whether it bears its own weight or external forces (such as vibration, wind, etc.), the force can be transmitted unimpeded between the fitting and insertion parts. This continuity avoids stress concentration caused by weak points in the connection.
[0032] The one-piece molding process makes the bracket connector a single, integrated structure, significantly enhancing its overall rigidity compared to structures assembled from multiple parts. Under significant external forces, there will be no structural deformation or damage due to relative displacement between components, thus improving the bracket connector's ability to support and secure the distribution box.
[0033] Optionally, the above technical solution may further include: a side plate, disposed on one side of the insertion portion, and the side plate and the fitting portion are disposed on the two adjacent sides of the insertion portion.
[0034] By placing the side plate on one side of the insertion part and positioning the side plate and the fitting part on adjacent sides of the insertion part, a lateral support structure is provided for the bracket connector. When the distribution box is mounted on the mounting bracket via the bracket connector, the side plate can prevent the insertion part from excessively shaking or deforming in the lateral direction (perpendicular to the plane formed by the fitting part and the insertion part).
[0035] The side plates and the fitting section work together to restrict the displacement of the bracket connectors on the horizontal plane. The side plates also act as a barrier structure, ensuring that the bracket connectors and the connected distribution box remain in the correct installation position, thereby enhancing the stability of the entire installation structure.
[0036] Optionally, in the above technical solution, the bonding part is parallel to the insert plate.
[0037] The parallel design of the mating part and the insert plate helps ensure that the bracket connector can be accurately aligned with the mounting port and the socket of the mounting bracket during installation. When the distribution box is mounted on the mounting bracket via the bracket connector, the parallel mating part and the insert plate allow for a more even distribution of stress on the bracket connector. This helps reduce localized stress concentration and improves the load-bearing capacity and stability of the bracket connector.
[0038] The second aspect of this utility model provides a box assembly, including: any of the above-mentioned intelligent distribution boxes, with at least a partial sealing plug disposed in the connection port; and a mounting bracket disposed on the mounting surface, the mounting bracket having a socket adapted to the mounting bracket connector.
[0039] The enclosure assembly according to this utility model includes an intelligent distribution box and a mounting bracket. The intelligent distribution box has a unique structural design, including a box body with a connection port and a mounting port, a sealing plug that mates with the connection port, and a bracket connector that connects to the mounting port. The mounting bracket is fixed to the mounting surface and has a socket adapted to the mounting bracket connector.
[0040] When installing the distribution box, select the installation method according to actual needs. If wall-mounted installation is used, some sealing plugs will be installed inside the connection port to seal the connection port that is not needed to connect the distribution box to the mounting surface, thus achieving waterproof and dustproof functions. At the same time, the bracket connectors mate with the sockets on the mounting bracket to securely hang the distribution box on the mounting bracket.
[0041] The third aspect of this utility model provides a housing assembly, including: any of the above-mentioned intelligent distribution boxes; and a connector that passes through the connection port of the intelligent distribution box and is connected to the mounting surface.
[0042] According to the present invention, the enclosure assembly includes an intelligent distribution box and a connector. When installing the intelligent distribution box, the sealing plug can be removed from the connection port, and the intelligent distribution box can be installed on the mounting surface using the connector, thereby achieving embedded assembly.

[0055] 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.
[0056] 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.
[0057] The following reference Figures 1 to 8 This invention describes an intelligent power distribution box and a box assembly provided according to some embodiments of the present invention.
[0058] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment provides an intelligent distribution box 100, including a box body 102, a sealing plug 104, and a bracket connector 106. Through detachable connections and a sealed design, the distribution box offers flexibility and adaptability, allowing for either recessed installation or wall-mounted installation according to actual installation needs. Different connection methods ensure the distribution box is securely mounted on the wall while maintaining the safety and protection of internal equipment. In particular, the sealed design ensures waterproof and dustproof performance during wall-mounted installation, making the distribution box suitable for more complex installation environments.
[0059] Specifically, enclosure 102 is the main structure of the distribution box, bearing all internal components and ensuring their stability and safety. Enclosure 102 needs to have sufficient strength and protective performance to prevent external factors (such as water and dust) from damaging the internal components. Under different installation methods, the design of enclosure 102 must ensure its robustness, while also considering the reliability of its connection to connection port 1022 and bracket.
[0060] like Figure 6 As shown, by providing a connection port 1022 and a mounting port 1024 on the rear wall of the enclosure 102, the design of the connection port 1022 allows the distribution box to be fixed to a wall or other mounting surface via the connector 204, thus facilitating easy installation. The connection port 1022 provides an installation interface for both recessed and wall-mounted installations.
[0061] The location and number of connection ports 1022 can be flexibly adjusted to ensure the distribution box can be firmly fixed in different installation environments. The connection ports 1022 are usually located on the rear wall of the enclosure 102.
[0062] It is important to emphasize that the sealing plug 104 is used to seal the connection port 1022, providing waterproof and dustproof functionality to protect internal electrical components when the distribution box does not need to be installed through the connection port 1022. The sealing plug 104 is detachably connected to the connection port 1022, allowing for easy removal when needed, ensuring the sealing and protective performance of the distribution box.
[0063] An installation port 1024 is provided on the rear wall of the enclosure 102 as a connection interface between the bracket connector 106 and the enclosure 102, responsible for connecting the distribution box and the mounting bracket. The installation port 1024 is located on the rear side of the enclosure 102 so that the weight of the enclosure 102 can be supported by the bracket to ensure the stability of the equipment after installation.
[0064] The bracket connector 106 is a key component for connecting the distribution box to the mounting bracket, supporting the wall-mounted installation of the distribution box.
[0065] The bracket connector 106 is designed to allow the distribution box to be fixed to a wall or other vertical surface via a bracket, providing stable support. The bracket connector 106 is detachable, facilitating later adjustments or maintenance, enabling the distribution box to be securely installed without being embedded in the wall, while maintaining a high degree of flexibility.
[0066] The mounting bracket 202 is typically fixed to a wall or other suitable mounting surface, providing load-bearing support for the bracket connector 106. Of course, the mounting bracket 202 can be designed as an adjustable bracket to adapt to the needs of different installation environments.
[0067] The connector 1022 and the bracket connector 106 are the main connection points for mounting the distribution box to the mounting surface. The distribution box is connected to the wall (or mounting bracket 202) via the connector 1022, or the connector 1022 is sealed with a sealing plug 104, and then the distribution box is fixed to the bracket via the bracket connector 106. The connector 1022 and the bracket connector 106 need to be able to be quickly connected and disassembled to ensure ease of installation and a tight seal after disassembly.
[0068] The sealing plug 104 and the connection port 1022 are detachably connected to achieve a seal, preventing water or dust from entering the distribution box. Their fit needs to take into account both sealing performance and ease of disassembly. Once the sealing plug 104 is installed, it can effectively ensure the protective performance of the distribution box when it is wall-mounted.
[0069] like Figure 3 As shown, the bracket connector 106, through its detachable connection with the mounting bracket 202, ensures that the distribution box can be stably installed on the bracket. The position of the mounting bracket 202 is usually fixed, while the bracket connector 106 needs to be designed to be adjustable or quick-release to adapt to the needs of different installation environments.
[0070] In some embodiments, optionally, such as Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, a first thread 1082 is provided on the inner wall of the connection port 1022, and a second thread 1084 is provided on the outer side of the connecting part 1042 of the sealing plug 104. This realizes a threaded connection between the distribution box and the sealing plug 104, greatly enhancing the sealing performance and detachability. It ensures that the sealing plug 104 can be firmly connected to the connection port 1022, preventing the sealing plug 104 from loosening or falling off during the installation of the distribution box. The threaded connection method has strong fixing force and can withstand external vibration or impact, thereby improving the stability of the entire distribution box.
[0071] The sealing plug 104 includes a connecting portion 1042 and an end cap portion 1044. The end cap portion 1044 mainly serves a sealing function to ensure that the inside of the distribution box is not affected by the external environment (such as water and dust), thus ensuring the safety of the equipment. When the connecting port 1022 is not used for installation, the connecting port 1022 is sealed to prevent water and dust from entering the distribution box. When the second thread 1084 on the outside of the connecting portion 1042 is threadedly connected to the first thread 1082 inside the connecting port 1022, the end cap portion 1044 tightly seals the other parts of the sealing plug 104 onto the connecting port 1022, ensuring the airtightness of the distribution box.
[0072] The engagement of the first thread 1082 and the second thread 1084 via a rotary connection enables a detachable connection of the sealing plug 104, ensuring that the connection port 1022 of the distribution box is sealed and protected when not in use. Threaded connections are a highly reliable connection method, providing high tightening force and stability.
[0073] Understandably, threaded connections provide excellent sealing performance, preventing external environmental factors such as water and dust from entering the distribution box and protecting the electrical components and wiring inside. At the same time, the threaded connection makes the removal of the sealing plug 104 very convenient, facilitating later inspection or replacement. Compared with other types of sealing methods (such as gaskets or spring seals), threaded connections have higher mechanical strength and can withstand greater tensile or compressive forces.
[0074] In some embodiments, optionally, after the sealing plug 104 is connected to the connection port 1022, the end cap 1044 is sealed to the rear wall, effectively sealing the connection port 1022. After the sealing plug 104 is fixed to the connection port 1022 by a threaded connection, the end cap 1044 fits tightly against the rear wall of the enclosure 102, forming a complete closed system. The sealed design gives the entire distribution box stronger waterproof and dustproof capabilities, making it particularly suitable for scenarios requiring use in harsh environments, such as outdoor assembly or industrial environments.
[0075] Furthermore, the end cap 1044 and the fitting portion 1062 of the rear wall of the enclosure 102 form a tight connection, which can effectively disperse the external forces and increase the stability of the distribution box during installation. This sealed fit ensures that the distribution box is not easily affected by vibration or external forces during installation, avoiding loosening of the connection port 1022 or failure of the seal due to external forces, thereby maintaining the long-term stable operation of the distribution box.
[0076] The sealing fit between the end cap 1044 and the rear wall of the enclosure 102 provides a physical barrier, effectively preventing liquids or gases from entering the distribution box from the connection port 1022, ensuring that the protection level (such as IP rating) of the distribution box meets the design requirements, and ensuring that the electrical equipment in the distribution box is always in a safe working environment.
[0077] By sealing the end cap 1044 to the rear wall of the enclosure 102, the distribution box achieves significant improvements in sealing performance, mechanical strength, durability, and long-term use. This design not only enhances waterproof and dustproof capabilities but also ensures stable operation in various harsh environments and offers high ease of maintenance. This design provides sealing while guaranteeing the long-term use of the distribution box, preventing equipment damage or malfunctions caused by environmental factors.
[0078] In some embodiments, optionally, such as Figure 8As shown, a threaded sealing ring 110 is provided between the first thread 1082 and the second thread 1084 to further improve the sealing performance of the connection between the sealing plug 104 and the connection port 1022. It is understandable that due to manufacturing processes and material properties, there may be tiny gaps between the first thread 1082 and the second thread 1084. The main function of the threaded sealing ring 110 is to fill these gaps and prevent external substances such as water and dust from entering the distribution box through the gaps between the threads.
[0079] When the sealing plug 104 is connected to the connection port 1022 by threads, the threaded sealing ring 110 is compressed, forming a tight sealing layer between the threads. It cooperates with the sealing fit of the end cover 1044 and the rear wall of the box 102 to ensure the airtightness of the distribution box from multiple levels, providing a higher level of protection for the electrical equipment inside the distribution box.
[0080] In some special working conditions, such as when the distribution box may be affected by vibration, temperature change or pressure change, the threaded sealing ring 110 can adapt to these working conditions, maintain a seal during vibration, and prevent the intrusion of external substances when temperature and pressure change due to its good elasticity and sealing performance.
[0081] The threaded sealing ring 110 fits tightly with the first thread 1082 and the second thread 1084. The thread structure provides a fixed position for the sealing ring, allowing it to accurately fill the gaps between the threads as the sealing plug 104 is screwed into the connection port 1022. At the same time, the tightening force of the threaded connection also helps to compress the sealing ring into the appropriate position, ensuring its sealing effect.
[0082] The threaded sealing ring 110 and the end cap 1044, together with the sealing fit of the rear wall of the enclosure 102, constitute a complete sealing system. The sealing fit of the end cap 1044 mainly prevents external substances from entering through the flat part of the connection port 1022, while the threaded sealing ring 110 prevents substances from entering through the thread gap. The two complement each other, ensuring the airtightness of the distribution box in all aspects.
[0083] During the maintenance of the distribution box, the presence of the threaded sealing ring 110 does not affect the disassembly and installation of the sealing plug 104. Since the sealing ring usually has a certain degree of elasticity, it can deform with the movement of the thread when the sealing plug 104 is screwed in and out, without causing additional difficulties to the maintenance operation.
[0084] The threaded sealing ring 110 plays a crucial role in the threaded connection between the sealing plug 104 and the connection port 1022. By filling the gaps between the threads, it enhances the sealing performance, improves the waterproof and dustproof capabilities and reliability of the distribution box, and can adapt to different operating conditions. At the same time, it works in conjunction with other sealing structures to extend the service life of the distribution box without affecting the ease of maintenance.
[0085] In some embodiments, the bracket connector 106 may optionally include a fitting portion 1062 and an insertion portion 1066. The first port 1064 provided on the fitting portion 1062, which is adapted to the mounting port 1024, plays a positioning and adaptation role, so that the bracket connector 106 can accurately mate with the mounting port 1024 on the housing 102. This precise adaptation relationship provides a stable foundation for subsequent connections.
[0086] When the distribution box is mounted on the mounting bracket 202 via the bracket connector 106, the fitting part 1062 fits tightly against the surface of the box 102 around the mounting opening 1024, which can evenly distribute the weight of the distribution box and any external forces it may be subjected to onto the box 102. This helps to prevent excessive local pressure from damaging the box 102 and ensures the stability of the overall structure of the distribution box.
[0087] Due to the compatibility between the first port 1064 and the mounting port 1024, the bracket connector 106 can be quickly and accurately connected to the enclosure 102 during installation, reducing adjustments and errors during installation and achieving a stable connection. This stability is crucial for ensuring the safety of the distribution box during wall mounting.
[0088] The tight fit between the fitting part 1062 and the enclosure 102 structurally enhances the overall integrity between the distribution box and the mounting bracket connector 106. This allows for better coordination when subjected to external forces (such as wind and vibration), improving the strength and reliability of the entire installation structure.
[0089] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the insertion plate 1068 of the insertion part 1066 is correspondingly arranged with the socket 2022 of the mounting bracket 202. This design is key to realizing the connection between the distribution box and the mounting bracket 202. After the insertion plate 1068 is inserted into the socket 2022, it can restrict the movement of the distribution box relative to the mounting bracket 202 in the horizontal direction, thereby establishing a stable connection.
[0090] When the distribution box is subjected to external forces (such as its own weight, external impact, etc.), the insertion plate 1068 of the insertion part 1066 can effectively transfer these forces to the mounting bracket 202. Through this force transmission mechanism, the balance and stability of the distribution box in the wall-mounted state are ensured.
[0091] The connection between the plug plate 1068 and the socket 2022 is simple and effective, enabling quick connection between the distribution box and the mounting bracket 202, and ensuring reliable connection during normal use. This plug-in connection method is relatively simple, requiring no complicated tools or procedures, facilitating the installation and removal of the distribution box on-site.
[0092] The fitting portion 1062 and the insertion portion 1066 together constitute the bracket connector 106, which works together to achieve an effective connection between the distribution box and the mounting bracket 202. The fitting portion 1062 ensures positioning and force distribution in the vertical direction, while the insertion portion 1066 ensures the stability of the connection in the horizontal direction; both are indispensable.
[0093] Through the coordinated action of the fitting part 1062 and the insertion part 1066, the distribution box can achieve stable support and fixation in both vertical and horizontal directions when wall-mounted. This all-around stability can effectively resist various external interferences and ensure the safe operation of the distribution box.
[0094] In some embodiments, the mating portion 1062 and the insertion portion 1066 are optionally integrally formed, ensuring the continuity of stress transmission between the mating portion 1062 and the insertion portion 1066. When the distribution box is mounted on the mounting bracket 202 via the bracket connector 106, the force can be transmitted unimpeded between the mating portion 1062 and the insertion portion 1066, whether under its own weight or externally applied forces (such as vibration, wind, etc.). This continuity avoids stress concentration caused by a weak point at the connection portion 1042.
[0095] The one-piece molding makes the bracket connector 106 a single structure, which significantly enhances its overall rigidity compared to a structure assembled from multiple parts. When subjected to large external forces, there will be no structural deformation or damage due to relative displacement between components, thereby improving the support and fixation capabilities of the bracket connector 106 for the distribution box.
[0096] Furthermore, the one-piece molding manufacturing method is relatively simple, eliminating the need for complex component connection processes (such as welding and bolting). This not only reduces the number of steps in the manufacturing process but also lowers the risk of quality problems (such as welding defects and loose bolts) that may arise from the connection process. During the assembly of the distribution box, the one-piece molded bracket connector 106 can be directly installed with the box body 102 and the mounting bracket 202 without requiring additional time for component assembly. This direct installation method significantly improves assembly efficiency and reduces assembly time and labor costs.
[0097] In some embodiments, the side plate 112 is optionally located on one side of the insertion portion 1066, and the side plate 112 and the fitting portion 1062 are located on adjacent sides of the insertion portion 1066, providing a lateral support structure for the bracket connector 106. When the distribution box is mounted on the mounting bracket 202 via the bracket connector 106, the side plate 112 can prevent the insertion portion 1066 from excessively shaking or deforming in the lateral direction (perpendicular to the plane formed by the fitting portion 1062 and the insertion portion 1066).
[0098] The side plate 112 and the fitting part 1062 work together to limit the displacement of the bracket connector 106 on the horizontal plane. The side plate 112 can also act as a blocking structure to ensure that the bracket connector 106 and the connected distribution box are kept in the correct installation position, thereby enhancing the stability of the entire installation structure.
[0099] Furthermore, the side plate 112 can serve as an auxiliary positioning structure during installation. When the bracket connector 106 is installed onto the mounting bracket 202, the side plate 112 can engage with specific structures on the mounting bracket 202 (such as side slots or protrusions) to help operators quickly and accurately insert the insert plate 1068 into the socket 2022, ensuring accurate installation.
[0100] The side plate 112 can, to some extent, prevent foreign objects (such as dust, small animals, etc.) from entering the connection area between the bracket connector 106 and the mounting bracket 202 from the side. This helps to keep the connection area clean and avoid safety hazards such as loosening of the connection or short circuit caused by the intrusion of foreign objects.
[0101] In some embodiments, optionally, the parallel design of the fitting portion 1062 and the insert plate 1068 helps ensure that the bracket connector 106 can be accurately aligned with the mounting port 1024 and the insertion hole 2022 of the mounting bracket 202 during installation. When the distribution box is mounted on the mounting bracket 202 via the bracket connector 106, the parallel fitting portion 1062 and the insert plate 1068 allow for a more even distribution of force on the bracket connector 106. This helps reduce local stress concentration and improves the load-bearing capacity and stability of the bracket connector 106.
[0102] like Figure 5 As shown, this application provides an embodiment of a housing assembly 200, including an intelligent distribution box 100 and a mounting bracket 202. The intelligent distribution box 100 has a unique structural design, including a housing 102 with a connection port 1022 and a mounting port 1024, a sealing plug 104 that mates with the connection port 1022, and a bracket connector 106 that connects to the mounting port 1024. The mounting bracket 202 is fixed to a mounting surface and has a socket 2022 that mates with the mounting bracket connector 106.
[0103] When installing the distribution box, select the installation method according to actual needs. If wall-mounted installation is used, part of the sealing plug 104 will be installed inside the connection port 1022 to seal the connection port 1022 that is not used to connect the distribution box to the mounting surface, thereby achieving waterproof and dustproof functions. At the same time, the bracket connector 106 cooperates with the socket 2022 on the mounting bracket 202 to securely hang the distribution box on the mounting bracket 202.
[0104] like Figure 7 As shown, this application provides an embodiment of a housing assembly 200, including an intelligent distribution box 100 and a connector 204.
