Compared with civilian junction boxes, they are junction boxes that have undergone various explosion-proof modifications to have explosion-proof functions. They are made of die-cast aluminum alloy or welded stainless steel. Explosion-proof and corrosion-resistant junction boxes are classified as follows: according to function and material form: intrinsically safe explosion-proof junction boxes, aluminum alloy explosion-proof junction boxes, stainless steel explosion-proof junction boxes, and steel plate explosion-proof junction boxes; according to their structure: wall-mounted explosion-proof junction boxes and freestanding explosion-proof junction boxes.

[0003] There is an existing Chinese patent with application number CN201921253213.X and patent name "An Explosion-proof Junction Box", which discloses "An explosion-proof junction box, including a housing (3), characterized in that a plurality of openings on one side of the housing (3) are fixedly provided with a clamping nut assembly (1), a mounting plate (8) is provided in the middle of the bottom end of the housing (3), a second screw hole corresponding to the position is provided on both sides of the inner wall of the bottom end of the housing (3) and the top two sides of the mounting plate (8), a second flat washer (11) is provided at both ends of the top of the mounting plate (8), a second spring washer (10) is provided at the top of the second flat washer (11), a screw (9) is inserted and connected through the second opening in the middle of the second spring washer (10), and one end of the screw (9) passes through the second flat washer."

Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an explosion-proof junction box that can extend the service life of the nameplate and thus facilitate maintenance and repair by operators.

[0005] To address the above problems, the following technical solution is provided: an explosion-proof junction box, including a box body, a box cover connected to the box body by a number of screws and nuts, and a number of connectors connected to both sides of the box body, and also including a nameplate and a dust cover covering the nameplate. The box cover has a raised mounting platform for mounting the nameplate, and each of the four corners of the mounting platform has a connecting post. Each of the four corners of the nameplate has a connecting hole adapted to the connecting post. Each of the four corners of the dust cover has a connecting block, and each connecting block has a mounting hole adapted to the connecting post.

[0006] In the above structure, the dust cover protects the nameplate, preventing dust accumulation or oxidation that could render parameter information unreadable and preventing it from falling off, thus extending its lifespan. This allows operators to quickly read and identify parameters for maintenance or repair, improving the efficiency of this invention. The mounting platform facilitates nameplate installation and identification, enabling operators to quickly locate the nameplate's position. It also works in conjunction with the dust cover to hold the nameplate, improving its stability and the reliability of its protection, thereby enhancing the overall reliability of this invention. The dust cover is fitted onto the nameplate via mounting holes on the connecting block and a connecting post, facilitating its installation and removal, and improving the ease of installation.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that arc-shaped grooves are provided at the four corners of the mounting platform, the connecting column is located on the arc-shaped grooves, and the nameplate is provided with downward protruding abutment blocks at the four corners that are adapted to the arc-shaped grooves.

[0008] In the above structure, the nameplate can be limited by the cooperation of the abutment block and the arc groove, thereby improving the stability of the nameplate installation and the reliability of this utility model.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the top of the abutting block is provided with an abutting groove corresponding to the arc-shaped groove, and the end of the connecting block facing the nameplate is provided with an extension portion adapted to the abutting groove.

[0010] In the above structure, by providing an extension that cooperates with the abutment groove, the tightness of the fit between the dust cover and the nameplate can be further improved, thereby improving the reliability of the dust cover protection.

[0011] The present invention is further provided that a groove is formed on the end face of the dust cover that abuts against the nameplate, and a sealing gasket is installed in the groove.

[0012] The above structure improves the seal between the dust cover and the nameplate, thereby enhancing the protective effect and reliability of the dust cover.

[0013] The present invention is further provided that a sealing groove is formed on the outer circumferential wall of the connecting column.

[0014] In the above structure, by setting a sealing groove, a sealing ring can be fitted in the sealing groove, thereby improving the connection strength between the dust cover and the connecting column and improving the reliability of this utility model.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that two sealing grooves are spaced apart in the axial direction relative to the connecting column.

[0016] The above structure can further improve the connection strength between the dust cover and the connecting column.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that the dust cover is transparent.

[0018] The above structure allows operators to directly identify parameters without removing the dust cover, thus improving the convenience of reading nameplate parameters. Attached Figure Description
