Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of junction box technology, and more specifically, to a rainproof junction box. Background Technology
[0002] A junction box is an electrical device used to connect and protect electrical wires. It is widely used in various electrical systems. The main function of a junction box is to provide a safe and reliable environment that allows wires to be safely connected and branched, while protecting them from damage caused by the external environment.
[0003] Because multiple wires converge and connect inside a junction box, these wires generate a significant amount of heat, causing a rapid increase in the box's internal temperature. Therefore, junction boxes often have ventilation holes connected to the interior, allowing airflow for heat dissipation. However, for outdoor wiring, if rainwater enters the junction box through these holes, it cannot drain and accumulates. As the water level rises, contact with the wiring terminals can easily cause short circuits or even paralyze the power supply. Furthermore, water can easily seep into the box through gaps between cables and wiring openings. The box's seal between the box and base plate is also often inadequate, resulting in poor waterproofing. Rainwater can easily corrode the internal structure, causing short circuits or reducing the box's lifespan, and can lead to dangerous accidents such as electrical leakage and electric shock, posing a significant safety hazard.

The sponge absorption layer 28 is provided on the rubber membrane 29. When the cable passes through the rubber membrane 29, it is interference-fitted with the sponge absorption layer 28.
[0030] In this embodiment, when wiring the cable, the cable is passed through the through hole 11 of the fixing plate 9, the through hole 11 being adapted to the cable diameter. The cable is then passed through the absorbent component 13 and installed and connected via the internal threaded sleeve 10 and the external threaded sleeve 8.
