[0002] Junction boxes are electrical accessories widely used in construction, decoration, and electrical engineering because they are necessary for connecting electrical conduits. A junction box typically consists of one or more sealed spaces equipped with terminals for connecting wires, cables, or other electrical equipment. As a protective device for electrical connections, it plays a crucial role in electrical engineering.

[0003] Many electrical equipment enclosures have various types of junction boxes pre-installed on the outside. These junction boxes house electrical components for connecting external devices. Junction boxes are devices used for electrical connection and protection. After prolonged use, the sealant in junction boxes is prone to aging. On rainy days, rainwater can flow into the enclosure through the gap between the junction box and the mounting plate, potentially damaging the electrical components inside the enclosure. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a waterproof junction box. The baffle is set on the mounting plate at an incline. External rainwater slides down through the inclined baffle into the V-shaped groove of the baffle. The V-shaped groove of the baffle allows rainwater to drain to both ends of the baffle, preventing rainwater from entering the junction box. The baffle and protective components block the connection between the inclined plate and the mounting plate, preventing external rainwater from entering the junction box from the connection.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model is a waterproof junction box, including a mounting plate and a junction box. The mounting plate has a T-shaped groove and a sliding groove. A baffle is slidably fitted inside the T-shaped groove. A T-shaped plate is installed on one side of the baffle. The T-shaped plate slides inside the T-shaped groove. The baffle is attached to the top surface of the junction box. One end of the junction box is fitted into a slot. A protective component is slidably fitted inside the sliding groove. The protective component is snapped into the side wall of the junction box. A threaded rod is threaded between the protective component and the mounting plate.

[0007] The protective assembly includes a base plate and two side plates. A sliding plate is installed on the side wall of the side plate, and the sliding plate slides inside the groove. A threaded rod is threaded onto the sliding plate and the mounting plate. The base plate and the side plates are attached to the side wall of the junction box. Both the base plate and the side plates are inclined and set on the side wall of the mounting plate.

[0008] Furthermore, a water baffle is installed on one side of the baffle, and a V-shaped groove is opened on one side of the water baffle.

[0010] Furthermore, a slot is provided at the center of the side wall of the mounting plate, and a frame is provided on one side of the junction box, which fits inside the slot.

[0011] Furthermore, the junction box has a sliding pull-out box inside, and the outer wall of the junction box is equipped with inclined plates, which are attached to the baffle and protective components inside.

[0012] Furthermore, the protective assembly also includes a connecting plate, through which the base plate and the two side plates are connected.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The junction box of this utility model is installed on the side wall of the mounting plate, and the baffle is installed on the mounting plate at an incline. External rainwater slides down through the inclined baffle into the V-shaped groove of the baffle plate. The V-shaped groove of the baffle plate allows rainwater to drain to both ends of the baffle plate, preventing rainwater from entering the junction box. The protective component slides and engages on the groove, and the protective component is fixed to the side wall of the mounting plate by a threaded rod. The baffle and the protective component block the connection between the inclined plate and the mounting plate, preventing external rainwater from entering the junction box from the connection.
