[0028] This utility model proposes a switch box. Please refer to... Figures 1 to 8The device includes a housing 1 and a cover plate 2 fixedly connected to the housing 1. The housing 1 and the cover plate 2 enclose a cavity. The bottom of the housing 1 has several drain outlets 15. An electromagnetic lock 3 is fixedly installed in the cavity. The electromagnetic lock 3 has a housing 31 and a locking rod 32. The housing 31 has a first end face 311 and a second end face 312 arranged in parallel. The first end face 311 and the second end face 312 have through holes for the locking rod 32 to pass through. The surfaces of the first end face 311 and the second end face 312 are both provided with a rust-proof layer.
[0029] In this embodiment, the housing 1 has a recessed receiving groove, and the cover plate 2 covers the opening of the receiving groove, forming a receiving cavity with the housing 1. The electromagnetic lock 3 is installed in the receiving cavity. Several drain holes 15 are provided at the bottom of the housing 1. When water seeps into the switch box, the drain holes 15 can drain the water out of the switch box in a timely manner, preventing the electromagnetic lock 3 from being in close contact with water for a long time, thus preventing corrosion. It is understood that the several drain holes 15 can be configured as drain holes or drain grooves of different shapes and sizes, spaced apart at the bottom of the housing 1. The electromagnetic lock 3 has a housing 31, and a movable locking rod 32 is provided inside the housing 31. The first end face 311 and the second end face 312 of the housing 31 are arranged parallel to each other, and the locking rod 32 is arranged axially perpendicular to the first end face 311. Through holes are respectively provided on the first end face 311 and the second end face 312, and the locking rod 32 can extend out of the housing 31 through the through holes. Understandably, the through holes on the first end face 311 and the second end face 312 are positioned at corresponding locations, preferably at the center of the end faces. When the electromagnetic lock 3 is in prolonged contact with water or in a humid environment, the outer casing 31 is prone to rusting due to moisture penetration. When the rust on the first end face 311 and the second end face 312 spreads to the contact point with the locking rod 32, the locking rod 32 will malfunction, affecting the service life and reliability of the electromagnetic lock 3. In this embodiment, both the surfaces of the first end face 311 and the second end face 312 are provided with an anti-rust layer to prevent rusting at the connection points of the first end face 311, the second end face 312, and the locking rod 32, thus ensuring that the electromagnetic lock 3 can function normally in a humid environment.
[0030] Furthermore, the rust-proof layer is a WD-40 rust-proof coating.
[0031] Specifically, WD-40 is sprayed onto the surfaces of the first end face 311 and the second end face 312 to remove moisture and water from the electromagnetic lock 3 and form a dense protective film on the surface, which is the anti-rust layer. This anti-rust layer gives the electromagnetic lock 3 good resistance to high and low temperatures and humid environments, ensuring the normal use of the electromagnetic lock 3 in different working environments.
[0032] Further, please refer to Figures 1 to 6The housing 1 has a housing side wall 11, on which multiple snap-fit interfaces 11a are provided; the cover plate 2 has a cover plate side wall 21, on which multiple snap-fit protrusions 21a are provided. The snap-fit interfaces 11a match the snap-fit protrusions 21a, and the snap-fit protrusions 21a snap into the snap-fit interfaces 11a, so that the housing 1 and the cover plate 2 are fixedly connected.
[0033] Specifically, the positions of the snap-fit protrusions 21a and the snap-fit interfaces 11a correspond to each other. The shape and size of the snap-fit protrusions 21a match the shape and size of the snap-fit interfaces 11a. The snap-fit protrusions 21a are respectively snapped into the snap-fit interfaces 11a to make the housing 1 and the cover plate 2 snap together. Multiple snap-fit interfaces 11a are provided and distributed at intervals on the side wall 11 of the housing, making the connection between the housing 1 and the cover plate 2 more stable. The switch box is designed as an assembly of the housing 1 and the cover plate 2, making the maintenance of the switch box more convenient.
[0034] Further, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 A first fixing plate 12 is provided inside the housing 1 near the first end face 311, and a second fixing plate 13 is provided inside the housing 1 near the second end face 312. The first fixing plate 12 and the second fixing plate 13 are arranged in parallel, and the distance between the first fixing plate 12 and the second fixing plate 13 matches the length of the housing 31, so as to realize the limiting and locking of the electromagnetic lock 3 along the axial direction of the locking rod 32.
[0035] Specifically, the first fixing plate 12 and the second fixing plate 13 are arranged in parallel, with the second fixing plate 13 closely attached to the second end face 312. The distance between the first fixing plate 12 and the second fixing plate 13 matches the length of the outer shell 31 along the axial direction of the locking rod 32, thus limiting the electromagnetic lock 3 to be installed between the first fixing plate 12 and the second fixing plate 13 to prevent the outer shell 31 from displacing along the axial direction of the locking rod 32.
[0036] Further, please refer to Figure 3 The first fixing plate 12 has an arc-shaped groove for the locking rod 32 to pass through.
[0037] Specifically, the arc-shaped groove can be set as a U-shaped groove that matches the shape and diameter of the outer wall of the locking rod 32, providing support and limiting the locking rod 32.
[0038] Further, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The side wall 11 of the shell has several limiting ribs 14 protruding towards the outer shell 31.
[0039] Specifically, the limiting rib 14 abuts against the outer shell 31 to provide further limiting and fixing for the electromagnetic lock 3, preventing the electromagnetic lock 3 from shaking and displacing within the shell 1.
