The mounting cavity 130 is used for mounting the switch. The two ends of the housing 100 in the length direction are respectively provided with connectors that communicate with the mounting cavity 130. The base plate 110 has a slot 111 extending through the width direction on the side away from the wall frame 120. The wall frame 120 has a plurality of first screw holes 121 around its circumference. The base plate 110 has a plurality of screw fixing positions 112 and at least one hanging hole 113 corresponding to the area outside the wall frame 120.

[0033] Multiple first screws 200 are provided corresponding to the first screw holes 121, and the first screws 200 fix the box body 100 to the external fixing structure through the first screw holes 121.

[0034] The top cover 300 is fixed to the box body 100 by a plurality of second screws 310, and the top cover 300 is provided with a recessed window position 320;

[0035] The window 400 is hinged to the window position 320. When the window 400 is attached to the window position 320, the window 400 and the upper cover 300 are fastened or snapped together.

[0037] The waterproof box for switches provided by this utility model includes a box body 100, a plurality of first screws 200, a top cover 300, and a window 400.

[0038] The housing 100 includes a base plate 110 and a wall frame 120. The wall frame 120 covers a portion of the base plate 110, forming a mounting cavity 130. The switch is installed within the mounting cavity 130 on the base plate 110. For example, both ends of the base plate 110 extend beyond the wall frame 120 in the length direction. Connector positions communicating with the mounting cavity 130 are provided at both ends of the housing 100 in the length direction. The connector positions provide a base for the installation of wiring terminals, and waterproof connectors 500 or MC4 connectors 600 can be detachably installed on the connector positions, providing a base for wiring while improving waterproof performance. A slot 111 is provided through the base plate 110 along its width direction on the side facing away from the wall frame 120. The waterproof housing can be snapped and fixed through the slot 111. For example, the external fixing structure is a dovetail groove, and the shape of the slot 111 matches the dovetail rib, thereby enabling installation. The wall frame 120 has multiple first screw holes 121 in the circumferential direction. The base plate 110 has multiple screw fixing positions 112 and at least one hanging hole 113 in the area outside the wall frame 120.

[0039] Multiple first screws 200 are provided corresponding to first screw holes 121. The first screws 200 fix the housing 100 to the external fixing structure through the first screw holes 121. When the inner diameter of the first screw holes 121 is uniform, the head of the first screw 200 does not penetrate the first screw hole 121; when the bottom of the first screw hole 121 is provided with a constriction, the screw can penetrate the first screw hole 121, but the constriction restricts its exit.

[0040] The top cover 300 is fixed to the housing 100 by multiple second screws 310. The connection between the top cover 300 and the housing 100 via the second screws 310 offers advantages in terms of high stability and ease of maintenance. The top cover 300 is provided with a recessed window position 320.

[0041] Window 400 is hinged to window position 320. When window 400 is attached to window position 320, window 400 and top cover 300 are snapped or locked together.

[0042] In summary, the bottom of the base plate 110 is provided with a slot 111 for snapping and fixing the waterproof box. The base plate 110 is provided with a screw fixing position 112 for fixing the waterproof box to the external fixing base with screws. The base plate 110 is provided with a hanging hole 113 for hanging the waterproof box to the external fixing base with screws passing through the hanging hole 113. The wall frame 120 is provided with multiple first screw holes 121 around the perimeter, and the first screws 200 fix the waterproof box to the external fixing structure through the first screw holes 121. The top cover 300 is attached to the box body 100 by multiple second screws 310, which has the advantages of high stability and high maintainability. The window 400 is installed on the window position 320 on the top cover 300, providing a basis for reducing the exposed area.

[0043] In one embodiment, a waterproof connector 500 or an MC4 connector 600 may be detachably installed on the connector position.

[0044] In this embodiment, a waterproof connector 500 or an MC4 connector 600 can be detachably installed at the connector position, providing a foundation for wiring while improving the waterproof effect.

[0045] Reference Figure 6 In one embodiment, the screw fixing position 112 on the base plate 110 extends to the outer periphery of the base plate 110 in the length direction, and the screw fixing position 112 is an oblong hole in the length direction of the base plate 110.

[0046] In this embodiment, the shape of the screw fixing position 112 is restricted, thereby improving the flexibility of the screw fixing position 112 and enabling it to match the slight size differences of the external foundation fixing position.

[0047] In one embodiment, the first screw hole 121 has a waist-shaped cross-section along the length of the housing 100.

[0048] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the first screw hole 121 is restricted to an oblong shape, thereby enabling it to match minute dimensional differences in the fixing position of the external foundation.

[0049] In one embodiment, the portion of the first screw hole 121 that contacts the first screw 200 is provided with threads.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first screw hole 121 is fixed inside the box 100 to prevent loosening.

[0051] Reference Figures 1 to 6 In one embodiment, the upper cover 300 is provided with a plurality of second screw holes 330, and the second screws 310 are inserted into the second screw holes 330 to fix the upper cover 300 to the box body 100.

[0053] In one embodiment, a plug is removably provided on the second screw hole 330.

[0054] In this embodiment, the second screw 310 inside the second screw hole 330 is protected by sealing, reducing the possibility of structural abnormalities in the second screw 310. The seal is made of plastic or rubber, which has the advantages of easy processing and convenient fixing.

[0055] In one embodiment, the window 400 is made of a transparent material.

[0056] In this embodiment, the window 400 is set to a transparent material to provide a basis for observing the working status. The window 400 can be any type of transparent plastic.

[0057] Reference Figures 1 to 6 In one embodiment, the number of the first screw holes 121 is four and they are located at the four corners of the wall frame 120.

[0058] In this embodiment, the number and angle settings of the first screw holes 121 are provided to provide a basis for the fixed stability of the box 100.

[0059] Reference Figures 1 to 6 In one embodiment, when the top cover 300 is attached to the wall frame 120, the top cover 300 covers a plurality of the first screw holes 121.

[0060] In this embodiment, the top cover 300 covers multiple first screw holes 121, thereby forming a sealing effect. This reduces the processing difficulty of the top cover 300 and protects the first screws 200 inside the first screw holes 121 to a certain extent.

[0061] In summary, the waterproof box for switches provided by this utility model has a slot 111 at the bottom of the base plate 110 for snap-fit ​​fixing of the waterproof box, screw fixing positions 112 on the base plate 110 for fixing the waterproof box to an external fixing base with screws, and hanging holes 113 on the base plate 110 for hanging the waterproof box to the external fixing base with screws passing through the hanging holes 113. The wall frame 120 has multiple first screw holes 121 around its circumference, through which first screws 200 fix the waterproof box to the external fixing structure. The top cover 300 is attached to the box body 100 by multiple second screws 310, which has the advantages of high stability and high maintainability. The window 400 is installed on the window position 320 on the top cover 300, providing a basis for reducing the exposed area.
