Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electrical equipment installation technology, specifically a multifunctional aluminum alloy mounting box. Background Technology

[0002] Electrical mounting boxes (also known as electrical enclosures) are important components in electrical systems used to protect and secure electrical equipment. Electrical mounting boxes are typically located around power, communication, and other electrical equipment units.

[0003] The electrical installation box of the relevant technology consists of a box body and a cover, which are usually connected by screws. The advantages of this are twofold: first, it ensures the strength of the box body and cover after assembly; second, it allows the cover to be disassembled with tools, facilitating subsequent maintenance of the internal components of the electrical installation box. However, since the cover and the box body are two separate parts, during installation, the holes in the cover need to be aligned with the holes in the box body. If the screws are not properly aligned before tightening, uneven force can easily occur at each hole. This can lead to two problems: first, the screws may strip, affecting installation and disassembly; second, the screws may not be fully screwed into the designated position, potentially leaving gaps between the box body and the cover. There is still room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a multifunctional aluminum alloy mounting box in order to solve the problems mentioned above.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A multifunctional aluminum alloy mounting box includes a box body, a front cover and a rear cover. The box body has a receiving cavity with front and rear openings. The front cover and the rear cover are respectively installed on the front and rear openings of the receiving cavity and enclose a receiving space. Multiple reinforcing mechanisms are arranged circumferentially inside the box body. The reinforcing mechanism includes multiple sets of reinforcing ribs distributed at intervals. A positioning groove is formed between two adjacent sets of reinforcing ribs. The opposite end faces of the front cover and the rear cover protrude to form positioning protrusions that are adapted to be inserted into the positioning grooves, which are used to limit the installation position of the front cover and the rear cover on the box body. A multifunctional interface area is provided on the front cover.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the length of the reinforcing rib is the same as the length of the box body, and the reinforcing rib and the box body are integrally formed.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, mounting holes are symmetrically provided at the four corners of the front cover and the rear cover, and the front and rear end faces of the box body are provided with holes opposite to the mounting holes.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the front cover is provided with a functional interface area, which includes a plurality of circular holes, elliptical holes and socket holes.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the box body is generally in the shape of a square, and the bottom edge of the box body extends outward to form a mounting lug, and the mounting lug is provided with a plurality of waist-shaped holes at intervals.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the box body, the front cover, and the rear cover are all made of aluminum alloy, and the outer surfaces of the box body, the front cover, and the rear cover are anodized.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the upper and lower walls of the box are respectively provided with a plurality of second mounting holes, and the plurality of second mounting holes are distributed in a matrix.

[0012] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The box body and lid are designed with interlocking reinforcing ribs and positioning protrusions. When assembling the box body and lid, the reinforcing ribs and positioning protrusions can be interlocked to achieve initial positioning of the box body and lid, ensuring complete alignment of their holes. This ensures that each screw is evenly stressed during screw assembly, guaranteeing the assembly accuracy of the front and rear lids with the box body.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-4 A multifunctional aluminum alloy mounting box includes a box body 100, a front cover 200, and a rear cover 300. The box body 100 has a receiving cavity 140 with front and rear openings. The front cover 200 and the rear cover 300 are respectively placed over the front and rear openings of the receiving cavity 140, forming a receiving space. Multiple reinforcing mechanisms are arranged circumferentially inside the box body 100. Each reinforcing mechanism includes multiple sets of reinforcing ribs 150 distributed at intervals. A positioning groove 160 is formed between adjacent sets of reinforcing ribs 150. Positioning protrusions 250 are formed on the opposite end faces of the front cover 200 and the rear cover 300, which are adapted to fit and insert into the positioning grooves 160, thus defining the installation position of the front cover 200 and the rear cover 300 on the box body 100. The four corners of the front cover 200 and the rear cover 300 are symmetrically arranged... The box body 100 has mounting holes 210 and corresponding holes on its front and rear ends. Reinforcing ribs 150 and positioning protrusions 250 are designed on the box body 100 and the lid, respectively. When the box body 100 is assembled with the front lid 200 and the rear lid 300, the reinforcing ribs 150 and positioning protrusions 250 can be inserted together to achieve initial positioning of the box body 100 and the lid, ensuring complete alignment of the mounting holes 210 and the corresponding holes. When assembling screws (not shown in the figure, but assembled on the mounting holes 210 and the corresponding holes), each screw is evenly stressed, ensuring the assembly accuracy of the box body 100 with the front lid 200 and the rear lid 300. Furthermore, the protruding reinforcing ribs also ensure the overall strength of the box and prevent deformation.

[0023] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the length of the reinforcing rib 150 is the same as the length of the box body 100. The reinforcing rib 150 and the box body 100 are integrally molded structures. The integral molding structure ensures the strength of the assembly while also saving on the production and mold opening costs of the box assembly. Reinforcing mechanisms are provided at all four corners of the box body 100.

[0024] Furthermore, the front cover 200 is provided with a functional interface area, which includes several circular holes 240, elliptical holes 220, and socket holes 230. In this embodiment, two circular holes 240 are preferably provided, with diameters of 6mm and 8mm respectively, for signal lines or sensor wiring. One elliptical hole 220 is preferably provided, with a circular portion diameter of 8mm and a length of 8mm, to accommodate irregularly shaped connectors. The socket hole 230 is preferably a standard AC220V socket hole, which can support direct power supply to devices inside the enclosure (not shown in the figure). Through the integration of multiple types of interfaces, the access requirements for power supply, signal lines, and irregularly shaped devices are met. In other embodiments, other numbers or sizes may be designed, which are not limited here.

[0025] Furthermore, the box body 100 has an overall U-shaped structure, and the bottom edge of the box body 100 extends outward to form a mounting lug 110. The mounting lug 110 is provided with several waist-shaped holes 120 at intervals. It adopts a lug-type base structure, which can support guide rail or flat installation and enhance the stability after assembly.

[0026] Furthermore, the housing 100, front cover 200, and rear cover 300 are all made of aluminum alloy. The outer surfaces of the housing 100, front cover 200, and rear cover 300 are anodized. The aluminum alloy housing is relatively lightweight, making it easy to handle and install. At the same time, it has high strength and hardness, providing good pressure and impact resistance, effectively protecting the internal components. Aluminum alloy also has excellent thermal conductivity, quickly transferring internal heat to the external environment and maintaining the normal operating temperature of the equipment. It should be noted that the inwardly protruding reinforcing ribs 150 increase the contact area with the receiving cavity 140, allowing heat to be dissipated more quickly.

[0027] Furthermore, the upper and lower walls of the housing 100 are respectively provided with a plurality of second mounting holes 130, which are arranged in a matrix. The diameter of the second mounting holes 130 and the mounting holes 210 is preferably 6.5mm, which can be matched with M3 screws, so as to facilitate the fixing of the front cover 200 and the rear cover 300 or the installation of expansion modules.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
