Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of junction box technology, and in particular to a self-locking junction box that can achieve multi-point fixing of multiple junction boxes. Background Technology
[0002] Junction boxes are typically installed inside walls to conceal and connect power cords, and form switches or sockets via panels, enabling the safe and stable use of various electrical circuits. Generally, each junction box has knockout holes on its five sides for the power cord to pass through. Side-by-side series connections between junction box units use a snap-fit connection structure. For example, one edge of the junction box may have a C-shaped socket, and the opposite edge may have a plug-in post. When multiple junction boxes are connected side-by-side, the plug-in post is inserted into the C-shaped socket. Alternatively, the knockout holes may have outward-extending female sleeves, and the corresponding knockout holes on the opposite side walls may have outward-extending female sleeves. When multiple junction boxes are connected side-by-side, the female sleeves are tightly fitted into the female sleeves. Existing snap-fit connections suffer from poor stability due to their simple design, and the aforementioned female sleeve connection structure requires significant material consumption, increasing costs. Therefore, a solution is needed for a simple yet stable side-by-side connection of junction boxes that does not require excessive material usage, thus addressing the aforementioned technical problems.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are also within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
[0019] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 This document provides a specific embodiment of a multi-point fixed self-locking bottom box. The self-locking bottom box includes a rectangular box body with an open top, consisting of a bottom wall 1, a left side wall 2, a right side wall 3, a front side wall 4, and a rear side wall 5. Each of the bottom wall 1, left side wall 2, right side wall 3, front side wall 4, and rear side wall 5 has knock-out holes for threading wires. Two evenly distributed first fastening portions 21 are provided at the edge of the upper opening of the rectangular box body corresponding to the left side wall 2. A first insertion portion 22 protruding vertically outward is provided on the left side wall 2 below the first fastening portions 21. A second fastening portion 31 corresponding to the first fastening portions 21 is provided at the edge of the upper opening of the rectangular box body corresponding to the right side wall 3. The second fastening portion 31 is symmetrical to the first fastening portion 21. A second insertion portion 32 corresponding to the first insertion portion 22 is provided on the right side wall 3. When multiple self-locking bottom boxes need to be connected side by side, the first latching part 21 and the second latching part 31 of adjacent self-locking bottom boxes are latched together, and at the same time the first insertion part 22 and the second insertion part 32 are tightly fitted together.
[0020] Furthermore, the first fastening part 21 includes two parts, evenly spaced at the left edge of the upper opening of the rectangular box. The first fastening part 21 is a first protrusion protruding vertically outward, and the bottom of the first protrusion has an arc-shaped protrusion 211 at the center of the direction parallel to the left edge. Correspondingly, the second fastening part 31 includes two parts. The second fastening part 31 is a second protrusion protruding vertically outward, and the upper surface of the second protrusion has an arc-shaped groove 311 at the center of the direction parallel to the right edge of the upper opening. The top surface of the first fastening part 21 is flush with the top surface of the upper opening edge of the box, while the second fastening part 31 is set at a position slightly lower than the top surface of the right edge of the upper opening edge of the box. This is so that when the two bottom boxes are connected side by side, the arc-shaped protrusion 211 at the bottom of the first fastening part 21 of one bottom box is adapted to engage with the arc-shaped groove 311 on the top surface of the second fastening part 31 of the other bottom box.
[0021] As a further preferred embodiment, the middle of the arc-shaped protrusion 211 at the bottom of the first fastening part 21 is provided with a raised square strip 212 that intersects the arc-shaped protrusion 211 perpendicularly, and the height of the raised square strip 212 is higher than that of the arc-shaped protrusion 211; the middle of the arc-shaped groove 311 on the upper surface of the second fastening part 31 is provided with a square groove 312 that matches the raised square strip 212, the depth of the square groove 312 is deeper than the depth of the arc-shaped groove 311, and the opening of the square groove 312 extends to the outside of the second protrusion to form a notch. The arc-shaped protruding strip 211 provided in the first fastening part 21 and the arc-shaped groove 311 provided in the second fastening part 31 serve as an X-direction connection and fixing position when the two bottom boxes are fastened together. Correspondingly, the protruding square strip 212 and the square groove 312 are provided in the middle of the corresponding arc-shaped protruding strip 211 and the arc-shaped groove 311, which serve as a Y-direction connection and fixing position when the two bottom boxes are fastened together. The X and Y directions are perpendicular intersection directions on the same horizontal plane. In this way, the two bottom boxes are not easy to separate along the left side wall 2 and the right side wall 3, and are not easy to shake along the front side wall 4 and the rear side wall 5. Combined with the first insertion part 22 and the second insertion part 32, multi-point fixation is achieved.
[0022] Preferably, the bottom of the first fastening part 21 is provided with a first slope 213 corresponding to the outer side of the arc-shaped protrusion part 211, and the outer side of the arc-shaped groove part 311 of the second fastening part 31 is provided with a second slope 313. With the provision of the first slope 213 and the second slope 313, when two adjacent bottom boxes are connected side by side, the first insertion part 22 and the second insertion part 32 are pre-inserted, which helps the first fastening part 21 and the second fastening part 31 to find the pre-fastening height position. While the first slope 213 and the second slope 313 can be easily pushed in, the arc-shaped protrusion part 211 and the arc-shaped groove part 311 are fastened together, and the first insertion part 22 and the second insertion part 32 are also tightened.
[0023] As a preferred embodiment, each of the first insertion part 22 and the second insertion part 32 is provided as a single unit, and the first insertion part 22 and the second insertion part 32 are respectively located at the center of the left side wall 2 and the center of the right side wall 3. The first insertion part 22 is a solid cylindrical insertion part, and the second insertion part 32 is a hollow cylindrical insertion part. Providing only one of the first insertion part 22 and the second insertion part 32 is sufficient; this overall solution achieves a stable connection without consuming excessive materials.
