[0064] The working principle of this utility model:

[0065] 1. Wiring specifications and current on / off control

[0066] This utility model utilizes multiple cable management channels within the distribution box, such as the main inlet cable channel 7, the live / neutral cable channel 8, the ground cable channel 9, and the outgoing cable converging channel 10, to classify and lay different types of wires (live, neutral, and ground wires), forming independent and orderly wiring channels. The main switch 1 is installed below the main inlet cable channel 7, controlling the power supply to the entire distribution box. When the main switch 1 is closed, current enters from the live wire channel on the left side of the main inlet cable channel 7, passing sequentially through the undervoltage protector 2 and the outgoing switch 6, providing power to each electrical circuit. When it is necessary to cut off the power, the main switch 1 can be disconnected.

[0067] The outgoing switch 6 controls the power supply to different circuits. Its upper end is connected to the right side of the live and neutral wire trough 8, and its lower end is connected to the lower outgoing wire separating groove 12, which in turn connects to the outgoing wire converging groove 10. When the outgoing switch 6 is closed, current flows from the live and neutral wire trough 8 into the circuit corresponding to the outgoing switch 6, and then is led out to the external circuit through the lower outgoing wire separating groove 12 and the outgoing wire converging groove 10. When the outgoing switch 6 is opened, the power supply to the corresponding circuit can be independently cut off, realizing precise control of electrical equipment in each room or area.

[0068] 2. Over / under voltage protection mechanism

[0069] The over / under voltage protector 2 is installed between the main incoming line slot 7 and the live / neutral wire slot 8, and is located on the left side below the main switch 1. When the circuit voltage is abnormal, such as exceeding or falling below the set safe voltage range, the over / under voltage protector 2 will automatically detect and quickly cut off the circuit, preventing the over / under voltage current from continuing to flow to subsequent electrical equipment and lines, effectively protecting electrical appliances from damage, extending the service life of equipment, and avoiding safety accidents caused by over / under voltage.

[0070] 3. Distribution and grounding protection of neutral and ground wires

[0071] The neutral wire from the neutral terminal block 3 enters the live / neutral wire trough 8 via the converging port 81, where it is laid together with the live wire to provide a current loop. The ground wire, after exiting from the right side of the main inlet trough 7, passes sequentially through the first ground wire connecting groove 13 and the second ground wire connecting groove 14 to connect to the ground terminal block 4. From the ground terminal block 4, it first passes through the ground wire trough 9 and then enters the outlet converging wire trough 10. This ground wire path design ensures the reliability and continuity of the ground wire connection, making the grounding resistance of the entire power distribution system meet safety standards. When equipment leakage occurs, the ground wire can quickly conduct the leakage current to the earth, ensuring personal and equipment safety.

[0072] 4. Conductor limiting and anti-tangle design

[0073] The upper inlet wire separator 11 and the lower outlet wire separator 12 are located between the live / neutral wire trough 8 and the outlet switch 6, and between the outlet switch 6 and the outlet wire converging trough 10, respectively. Each outlet wire has a first outlet hole 111 and a second outlet hole 121, with only one wire allowed to pass through each hole. This design limits the number of wires that can pass through, preventing multiple wires from being twisted together at the upper and lower ends of the outlet switch 6. This ensures proper wire crimping, reduces safety hazards such as poor contact and short circuits caused by improper wiring, and improves the safety and reliability of the power distribution system.

[0074] The working method of this utility model:

[0075] Distribution box installation and initial setup phase

[0076] Installation Preparation: Determine the installation location of the distribution box based on the actual situation of your home and your electricity needs. It is usually chosen in an indoor area that is easy to operate and maintain, and is dry and well-ventilated. Prepare the distribution box equipment, various cable management components, electrical components, installation tools, and necessary auxiliary materials such as screws, insulating tape, and wire labels.

[0077] 5. Fixing the distribution box: Fix the distribution box to the wall or other support in the preset position to ensure that the box is installed firmly and horizontally, so as to provide a stable foundation for the subsequent installation and wiring of internal components.

[0078] Internal component installation: Install the main switch 1, over / under voltage protector 2, outgoing switch 6, neutral terminal block 3, ground terminal block 4, and other electrical components in sequence, and fix them in their corresponding positions inside the distribution box according to design requirements. Simultaneously, install the main inlet cable tray 7, live / neutral cable tray 8, outgoing cable convergence tray 10, ground cable tray 9, first ground wire connecting inclined tray 13, second ground wire connecting inclined tray 14, upper inlet cable separator tray 11, and lower outlet cable separator tray 12, ensuring that each tray is securely installed, accurately positioned, and that the connections between trays are smooth and well-sealed.

[0079] Wire introduction and preliminary arrangement: The incoming wires (including live wire, neutral wire, and ground wire) from the external connection are introduced into the main incoming wire duct 7 of the distribution box. They are initially separated and guided according to the requirement of live wire on the left, neutral wire on the right, and ground wire on the right, preparing for subsequent wiring work. At the same time, appropriate lengths are reserved and arranged for the incoming wires to ensure sufficient slack and a smooth path during subsequent laying.

[0080] Wiring and debugging phase

[0081] Live wire laying and connection: The live wire leading from the left side of the main inlet trough 7 passes sequentially through the main switch 1 and the over / under voltage protector 2, and then enters the left side of the live / neutral wire trough 8. Within the live / neutral wire trough 8, the live wire is laid along the trough path to the upper end of each outlet switch 6, passing through the upper inlet separator 11 and the first outlet hole 111 to enter the upper inlet terminal of the outlet switch 6, where a reliable crimp connection is made. Each outlet switch 6 corresponds to an independent power circuit, ensuring correct and accurate live wire connection.

[0082] Neutral wire laying and connection: The neutral wire leading from the right side of the main inlet trough 7 is connected to the neutral wire terminal block 3. After exiting the neutral wire terminal block 3, it enters the right side of the live / neutral wire trough 8 through the converging port 81. Within the live / neutral wire trough 8, the neutral wire is laid parallel to the live wire to provide a current loop. The neutral wire is laid within the live / neutral wire trough 8 to the lower end of each outgoing switch 6 or the corresponding neutral wire connection point. Depending on the specific circuit design requirements, it is connected to the lower outgoing wire of the outgoing switch 6 or the neutral terminal of the electrical equipment.

[0083] Grounding wire laying and connection: The grounding wire led out from the right side of the main inlet trough 7 passes sequentially through the first grounding wire connecting inclined trough 13 and the second grounding wire connecting inclined trough 14 to connect to the grounding terminal block 4, ensuring the continuity and reliability of the grounding wire connection. The grounding wire led out from the grounding terminal block 4 is laid through the grounding trough 9 to the outgoing line converging trough 10, and then connected to the grounding terminals of each electrical device, providing effective grounding protection for the electrical device.

[0084] Outgoing wire connection and organization: The wires (including live wire, neutral wire, and ground wire) leading from the lower end of the outgoing switch 6 pass through the outgoing wire separator 12 and the second outgoing wire hole 121 at the lower end of the switch and enter the outgoing wire gathering trough 10, where they are gathered and organized. According to the outgoing wire direction and connection requirements of each circuit, the wires are led out from the lower end of the outgoing wire gathering trough 10 to the outgoing conduit of the distribution box, and then connected to the electrical equipment in each room or area, such as lighting fixtures, sockets, appliances, etc., completing the wiring connection of the entire power distribution system.

[0085] Circuit Inspection and Debugging: Use multimeters and other tools to carefully inspect all circuits in the distribution box, including continuity, insulation, and secure wiring, ensuring all connections are correct and free from short circuits, open circuits, or other faults. Perform functional tests on electrical components such as the main switch 1, outgoing switch 6, and over / under voltage protectors 2, checking their on / off actions are normal and sensitive, and that the over / under voltage protection responds accurately. Simultaneously, conduct power-on test runs on all electrical equipment, observing whether the equipment functions normally, checking the voltage at sockets is stable, and whether lights illuminate correctly, ensuring the entire power distribution system operates stably and safely.

[0086] Daily use and maintenance phase

[0087] Normal electrical operation: During daily use, the main switch 1 provides overall control of the entire home circuit. When home renovations are underway or the house is unoccupied for extended periods, the main switch 1 can be disconnected to cut off the power and ensure safety. Individual outlet switches 6 allow for independent control of electrical equipment in different rooms or areas, meeting the personalized electrical needs of family members, such as controlling the power supply to living room lighting, bedroom sockets, and kitchen appliances.

[0088] Over / under voltage protection monitoring: The over / under voltage protector 2 in the distribution box monitors the circuit voltage in real time. When an abnormal voltage occurs, such as too high or too low voltage, the over / under voltage protector 2 will automatically cut off the circuit to protect electrical equipment from damage. After the voltage returns to normal, the over / under voltage protector 2 needs to be manually reset to restore the normal power supply to the circuit.

[0089] Regular maintenance and inspection: Regularly maintain and inspect the distribution box, including cleaning dust and debris inside and outside the distribution box to ensure good ventilation; checking the appearance of each electrical component for damage or aging, and replacing it in time if there is any problem; checking whether the wiring terminals are loose, and tightening them in time if there is any; checking whether the wires in the cable tray are worn or aged, and dealing with any problems in time to ensure the long-term stable operation of the power distribution system.

[0090] Troubleshooting and Handling: When a fault occurs in the power distribution system, such as when the lighting or sockets in a room are not working properly, the faulty circuit can be quickly located by referring to the clear wiring structure and markings inside the distribution box. The fault can then be diagnosed and repaired by disconnecting the outgoing switch 6. When handling faults, it is crucial to follow electrical safety operating procedures to ensure the personal safety of maintenance personnel.

[0093] In the renovation of a three-bedroom apartment, the home electrical distribution box with built-in cable management channels of this utility model is used. During installation, the main inlet cable channel 7, the live and neutral cable channel 8, the ground cable channel 9, and the outlet cable convergence channel 10 are first fixed in the distribution box according to the design position. Then, electrical components such as the main switch 1, over / under voltage protector 2, outlet switch 6, neutral terminal block 3, and ground terminal block 4 are installed.

[0094] Then, the wiring is laid. Three incoming wires (live wire, neutral wire, and ground wire) are connected from the left side of the main incoming wire trough 7. The live wire enters the live wire channel on the left side of the main incoming wire trough 7, while the neutral wire and ground wire enter the neutral wire and ground wire channels on the right side, respectively. After the main switch 1 is closed, the live wire flows through the main switch 1 to the over / under voltage protector 2, and then enters the left side of the live / neutral wire trough 8 from the over / under voltage protector 2. The neutral wire is led out through the neutral wire terminal block 3 and enters the right side of the live / neutral wire trough 8 through the converging port 81.

[0095] Next, the live wire is led out from the right side of the live / neutral wire trough 8 and connected to the upper end of each outgoing switch 6. The neutral wire is laid parallel to the live wire in the live / neutral wire trough 8. When the outgoing switch 6 is closed, the live wire passes through the lower end of the outgoing switch 6, through the outgoing wire separating groove 12 and the second outgoing hole 121 at the lower end of the switch, and enters the outgoing wire gathering trough 10. After converging with the neutral wire and the ground wire, it is led out from the lower end of the outgoing wire gathering trough 10 to the lighting, sockets and other electrical circuits in each room.

[0096] The ground wire is led out from the right side of the main inlet slot 7, passes through the first ground wire connecting inclined slot 13 and the second ground wire connecting inclined slot 14 in sequence, and connects to the ground wire terminal block 4. Then it is led out from the ground wire terminal block 4, passes through the ground wire slot 9 and enters the outlet convergence slot 10, together with the live wire and the neutral wire, to provide reliable grounding protection for the electrical equipment.

[0097] During use after the renovation, the wiring inside the distribution box is neat and standardized, with each circuit controlled independently. The over / under voltage protector 2 effectively handles abnormal voltage situations, ensuring home electrical safety. When a socket in a room malfunctions and requires repair, the power to that circuit can be cut off via the corresponding outgoing switch 6, without affecting the power supply to other rooms. Maintenance personnel can quickly locate the faulty circuit, facilitating troubleshooting and wiring replacement, improving maintenance efficiency, and avoiding the risk of misoperation due to messy wiring.

[0098] By adopting the above-disclosed technical solution of this utility model, the following beneficial effects are obtained:

[0099] This utility model, a home electrical distribution box with built-in cable management channels, is a new type of distribution box that improves upon traditional home electrical distribution boxes, addressing issues such as non-standard wiring, safety hazards, and lack of neatness and aesthetics. The following is a detailed description:

[0100] Design Features

[0101] The distribution box 5 features a rational structural layout: It contains multiple cable management channels, including a main inlet channel 7, a live / neutral channel 8, an outlet converging channel 10, a grounding channel 9, a first grounding connecting channel 13, a second grounding connecting channel 14, an inlet channel 11 above the switch, and an outlet channel 12 below the switch, as well as electrical components such as the main switch 1, over / under voltage protector 2, outlet switch 6, neutral terminal block 3, and ground terminal block 4. These components are arranged in a scientifically sound and rational manner, making full use of the space within the distribution box and providing clear laying paths for various wires, avoiding crossing, tangling, and confusion.

[0102] The cable management troughs have clearly defined functions: each trough has a specific function and role. For example, the main inlet trough 7 is used for the initial separation and guidance of the incoming wires, with the live wire on the left and the neutral and ground wires on the right; the live and neutral wire trough 8 enables the orderly laying of the live and neutral wires, with the upper end connected to the neutral terminal block 3 and the lower left end connected to the over / under voltage protector 2; the ground wire trough 9 is specifically used for laying the ground wire, with the upper end connected to the ground terminal block 4 and the lower end connected to the outgoing wire convergence trough 10 to ensure a reliable ground wire connection; the outgoing wire convergence trough 10 is used to gather the wires led out from each outgoing switch 6 and guide the wires to the outgoing conduit of the distribution box to achieve neat outgoing wires.

[0103] Advanced performance

[0104] The wiring is standardized and orderly: By reasonably setting up cable trays and partitions, the home distribution box is divided into different wiring zones, so that all wires are laid in the corresponding cable trays. This avoids messy and tangled wire connections from the source, ensuring that the wiring in the distribution box is standardized, neat and beautiful, and meets the high standards of modern home electrical installation.

[0105] Enhanced safety: The addition of cable management channels and wire passage holes strictly limits the number of wires crimped at the top and bottom of the outlet switch, ensuring that only one wire can pass through each outlet hole. This completely avoids the phenomenon of crimping more than two wires to a single component terminal, reducing safety hazards such as poor contact and short circuits caused by improper wiring, and providing more reliable protection for home electricity use.

[0106] Facilitates troubleshooting and wiring replacement: The wiring connections inside the distribution box are standardized and clear, and the overall wiring is reasonable. When a fault occurs, the problematic line can be quickly located without having to check a large number of messy wires one by one. This greatly improves the efficiency of troubleshooting and wiring replacement, and reduces power outage repair time and maintenance costs.

[0107] Extended service life: The use of cable trays reduces friction and wear between wires, and avoids damage to wires caused by twisting or uneven stress, thereby extending the service life of electrical components and wires in the distribution box, reducing the frequency of equipment replacement, and thus having a certain economic advantage.

[0108] Aesthetically pleasing and unified: The neat and orderly wiring makes the internal structure of the distribution box more aesthetically pleasing, meeting the aesthetic requirements of modern homes, enhancing the overall visual effect, matching the style of modern home decoration, and can also be used as part of a smart home, adding a sense of technology and quality to home life.

[0109] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
