[0034] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment provides an electrical junction box, including a box body 1, a box cover 2, a conduit 3, connecting terminals 4, a fixing component 5, and a lifting component 6. The connecting terminals 4, fixing component 5, and lifting component 6 are all located inside the box body 1. The box body 1 and the box cover 2 are detachably connected, facilitating easy inspection and maintenance of the connecting terminals 4 by personnel. Several openings are provided on the side wall of the box body 1, and the conduit 3 communicates with these openings, facilitating wire threading by personnel. The conduit 3 also allows for the branching of wires connected to the connecting terminals 4, ensuring a reasonable wire layout. The fixing component 5 includes a fixing frame 51, with the connecting terminals 4 located inside and connected to the fixing frame 51. The lifting component 6 includes a connector 61, a screw 62, a lifting seat 63, and a rotating component 64. The rotating component 64 is located on the bottom surface of the housing 1. The screw 62 is placed vertically relative to the bottom surface of the housing 1 and connected to the rotating component 64. The lifting seat 63 is threadedly connected to the screw 62. Therefore, when the screw 62 is rotated, the lifting seat 63 can move up and down along the screw 62, performing a lifting motion. The connecting component 61 connects the fixed frame 51 and the lifting seat 63. Thus, when the screw 62 is rotated, the fixed frame 51 can move up and down with the lifting seat 63, thereby causing the connecting terminal 4 to move up and down.

[0035] The electrical junction box provided in this embodiment connects the connecting terminal 4 to the fixed frame 51, and the fixed frame 51 is connected to the lifting seat 63 via a connector 61. The lifting seat 63 is threadedly connected to the screw 62, and the screw 62 is connected to the rotating component 64. By rotating the screw 62, the lifting seat 63 can move up and down along the screw 62. The connector 61 connects the fixed frame 51 to the lifting seat 63, so rotating the screw 62 allows the connecting terminal 4 connected to the fixed frame 51 to move up and down with the lifting seat 63. When the operator is performing wiring work, rotating the screw 62 can raise the connecting terminal 4 from the bottom of the box 1 to a certain height, thus avoiding wiring operations inside the box 1. The operator's wiring operations are not limited by space, making the operation more convenient.

[0036] Meanwhile, when it is necessary to disassemble the connecting terminal 4, the operator can rotate the screw 62 to raise the fixed frame 51 and the connecting terminal 4 to a certain height along with the lifting seat 63, and then remove the connecting terminal 4 from the fixed frame 51, thus quickly disassembling the connecting terminal 4. When it is necessary to install the connecting terminal 4, simply connect the connecting terminal 4 to the fixed frame 51, and then rotate the screw 62 to lower the fixed frame 51 and the connecting terminal 4 to the bottom surface of the box 1 along with the lifting seat 63, thus completing the installation of the connecting terminal 4. The installation and disassembly of the connecting terminal 4 are not affected by the space of the box 1, allowing the operator to quickly replace the connecting terminal 4.

[0037] In this embodiment, the rotating component 64 includes a bearing, wherein an assembly hole is provided on the bottom surface of the housing 1, the bearing is placed in the assembly hole, and the screw 62 is connected to the lifting seat 63 after passing through the bearing, thus enabling the screw 62 to rotate smoothly. Preferably, retaining rings can be provided at the front and rear of the bearing to prevent the bearing from shifting when the screw 62 rotates, further improving the stability of the screw 62's rotation.

[0038] Furthermore, the rotating component 64 also includes a worm gear 641, wherein a worm wheel 642 is provided at the end of the screw 62 away from the bearing, and the worm gear 641 is drivingly connected to the worm wheel 642. When the operator needs to adjust the height of the connecting terminal 4, rotating the worm gear 641 will drive the worm wheel 642 to rotate, thereby causing the screw 62 to rotate. The arrangement of the worm wheel 642 and the worm gear 641 reduces the difficulty for the operator to rotate the screw 62, enabling the operator to quickly complete the wiring work and the installation and disassembly work of the connecting terminal 4. Preferably, one end of the worm gear 641 is provided with a helical tooth 6411, and the other end is provided with a rotating wheel 6412, wherein the helical tooth 6411 is drivingly connected to the worm wheel 642. The operator can rotate the worm gear 641 by rotating the rotating wheel 6412, realizing quick and convenient rotation of the screw 62, further reducing the difficulty of operation for the operator.

[0039] As a preferred option, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the lifting assembly 6 also includes two brackets 65, each bracket including a slide groove 651. Two protrusions 511 are provided on two sides of the fixed frame 51. The two brackets 65 are respectively positioned corresponding to the two protrusions 511 and are vertically connected to the bottom of the housing 1. The protrusions 511 are movably positioned within the slide groove 651. When the screw 62 is rotated, causing the lifting seat 63 to move the fixed frame 51 up and down, the protrusions 511 move along the slide groove 651. The brackets 65 guide the movement of the fixed frame 51 and the lifting seat 63, allowing the fixed frame 51 to move more smoothly with the lifting seat 63 when the screw 62 is rotated. Furthermore, the two ends of the connector 61 are connected to the two protrusions 511 respectively, and the lifting seat 63 is connected to the side wall of the connector 61. This allows the connector 61 to more securely connect the fixed frame 51 and the lifting seat 63. Preferably, two protrusions 511 are disposed on two opposite sides of the fixed frame 51. The connector 61 is a U-shaped frame, with both ends of the U-shaped frame connected to the two protrusions 511 respectively. The middle area surrounds the outer perimeter of the fixed frame 51, which allows for a more compact layout among the fixed frame 51, connector 61, lifting seat 63, and screw 62, further improving the rationality of the electrical junction box design. The connector 61 and the protrusions 511 can be connected to each other by adhesive bonding.

[0040] In this embodiment, a sealing groove 11 is provided on the upper end face of the box body 1, and a sealing ring 21 is provided on the side of the box cover 2 opposite to the box body 1. When the box cover 2 and the box body 1 are fastened together, the sealing ring 21 and the sealing groove 11 are press-fitted together. The sealing groove 11 and the sealing ring 21 can improve the sealing performance between the box body 1 and the box cover 2, prevent external impurities and moisture from entering the interior of the box body 1, affecting the performance of the connection terminal 4, and improving the safety of the electrical junction box.

[0041] In this embodiment, the electrical junction box also includes a plug 7, which can selectively seal the conduit 3. When performing wiring work, the plug 7 can be used to seal any unused conduit 3 to prevent moisture and impurities from entering the box 1.

[0042] In this embodiment, the fixing component 5 further includes a locking member 52 and a rubber ring. The rubber ring is fitted and fixed to the inner wall of the fixing frame 51. The connecting terminal 4 has an assembly groove. The locking member 52 passes through the fixing frame 51 and the rubber ring and is threaded into the assembly groove. By providing the rubber ring, scratches can be avoided on the fixing frame 51 and the connecting terminal 4, thus protecting the connecting terminal 4 and the fixing frame 51. The fixing frame 51 has a fixing hole corresponding to the assembly groove. The assembly groove has an internal thread, and the locking member 52 has an external thread. After passing through the fixing hole, the external thread on the outer circumference of the locking member 52 will screw into the internal thread, locking the fixing frame 51, the rubber ring, and the connecting terminal 4 together. In this embodiment, the locking member 52 can be a bolt.

[0043] In this embodiment, the box body 1, the cover 2, and the conduit 3 are all made of glass fiber reinforced polyester. Glass fiber reinforced polyester, commonly known as glass fiber reinforced polyester or polyester fiberglass, is a composite material composed of unsaturated polyester resin and glass fiber. It has advantages such as light weight, high strength, and corrosion resistance, thus enabling the electrical junction box to be lightweight, abrasion-resistant, and corrosion-resistant.

[0044] The working principle of the electrical junction box in this embodiment is as follows: During the wiring operation, the operator can rotate the wheel 6412 to rotate the screw 62. The lifting seat 63 moves vertically upward along the screw 62 as it rotates, thereby driving the fixed frame 51 and the connecting terminal 4 upward through the connector 61 until the connecting terminal 4 rises to the upper end of the box 1. Then, the operator rotates the plug 7 to disengage it from the conduit 3, and passes the multiple wires to be wired into the box 1 through the conduit 3. The wire cores of the multiple wires are then connected to the corresponding wiring holes in the connecting terminal 4. Then, the wheel 6412 is rotated in the opposite direction, causing the lifting seat 63 to drive the fixed frame 51 and the connecting terminal 4 to descend to the bottom of the box 1, thus completing the wiring work.

[0045] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
