The top and sides of the wiring hole 11 are provided with wiring hole covers 15. Compared with the prior art, where the wiring hole 11 is opened on the top of the power supply box 1, when the power board 4 catches fire, the wiring hole covers 15 of the power supply box 1 can prevent the flames from spreading upward, thereby reducing the risk of the motor 3 and other components in the motor cover 2 being ignited and reducing safety hazards. At the same time, the design of the heat dissipation hole 12 of the power supply box 1 also being opened on the front shell 13, compared with opening the heat dissipation hole 12 in other parts of the power supply box 1, can better prevent water from entering the power supply box 1, further reducing safety hazards.

[0026] In another implementation, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The front shell 13 and the bottom shell 14 are fixedly connected by a first screw 16, and the power box 1 formed by the fixed connection of the front shell 13 and the bottom shell 14 is fixedly mounted on the motor cover 2 by a second screw 17. More specifically, the top side of the front shell 13 and the top side of the bottom shell 14 are fixedly connected by two first screws 16, and the bottom side of the front shell 13 and the bottom side of the bottom shell 14 are fixedly connected by one first screw 16. The motor cover 2 is provided with two fixing posts 21, and the bottom side of the front shell 13 is fixedly connected to the two fixing posts 21 by two second screws 17 respectively. The above-mentioned fixing connection method is not only simple in structure, but also easy to disassemble and maintain, thus improving the maintainability of this snow melting machine.

[0027] In other implementations, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, support ribs 5 are provided on the back plate 6 and the motor cover 2 of this snow melting machine. The power box 1 is fixedly installed in the motor cover 2. The support ribs 5 support the power box 1, reducing the risk of instability after the power box 1 is fixedly installed.

[0028] In summary, this utility model, through a power supply box 1 comprising a front shell 13 and a bottom shell 14, with the front shell 13 and the bottom shell 14 forming a front-to-back structure and fixedly connected, presents a design where the front shell 13 faces the motor 3 of the snow melting machine. A wiring hole 11 is located on the front shell 13, and wiring hole covers 15 are provided on the top and sides of the wiring hole 11. Compared to the prior art where the wiring hole 11 is located at the top of the power supply box 1, in the event of a fire on the power board 4, the wiring hole covers 15 of this power supply box 1 can prevent the flames from spreading upwards, thereby reducing the risk of the motor 3 and other components in the motor housing 2 being ignited, thus reducing safety hazards. Simultaneously, the design where the heat dissipation holes 12 of the power supply box 1 are also located on the front shell 13, compared to placing the heat dissipation holes 12 in other parts of the power supply box 1, better prevents water from entering the power supply box 1, further reducing safety hazards. Therefore, this utility model effectively overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and has high industrial application value.

[0029] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model.
