[0029] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0030] This utility model discloses an external power distribution fuse box.

[0031] According to the appendix Figure 1-6 As shown, it includes:

[0032] The fuse box 1 has a sealing groove 11 on its top.

[0033] The outer protective cover 2 is installed on the top of the fuse box 1, and the outer protective cover 2 achieves the first step of sealing the fuse box 1;

[0034] The inner sealing cover 3 is installed on the top of the fuse box 1 and inside the outer protective cover 2. A sealing strip 31 is installed at the bottom of the inner sealing cover 3, and the sealing strip 31 fits against the inner wall of the sealing groove 11. The inner sealing cover 3, together with the sealing strip 31 and the sealing groove 11, achieves the second step of sealing the fuse box 1.

[0035] The power distribution cavity 4 is formed by the space between the inner sealing cover 3 and the inside of the fuse box 1.

[0036] The cable sealing ring 5 is installed on the outside of the fuse box 1, and the cable sealing ring 5 is connected to the internal wire of the power distribution cavity 4.

[0037] The double-sealing design of the outer protective cover 2 and the inner sealing cover 3, combined with the cooperation of the sealing groove 11 and the sealing strip 31, achieves waterproof and dustproof effects, effectively resisting the intrusion of rainwater and mud. The cable sealing ring 5 is made of silicone material and has an interference fit with the cable to ensure zero leakage at the cable connection. The inner sealing cover 3 extends into the outer protective cover 2, and a larger power distribution cavity 4 can be formed between the inner sealing cover 3 and the interior of the fuse box 1. The power distribution cavity 4 adopts a thickened copper busbar design, which improves the current carrying capacity and meets the needs of high-power electrical appliances in light trucks.

[0038] Furthermore, the sealing groove 11 is configured as a stepped shape with a deeper outer edge and a shallower inner edge, and the sealing strip 31 is configured as a stepped shape with a thicker outer edge and a narrower inner edge.

[0039] The safety box 1 and the inner sealing cover 3 are combined with the stepped fit of the sealing groove 11 and the sealing strip 31 to achieve a better sealing effect.

[0040] Furthermore, fixing blocks 12 are fixedly connected to the top four corners of the safety box 1, and mounting blocks 21 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the outer protective cover 2.

[0041] Furthermore, multiple fixing blocks 12 are respectively attached to multiple mounting blocks 21, and adjacent fixing blocks 12 and mounting blocks 21 are fixedly connected by bolts.

[0042] Furthermore, the outer side of the inner sealing cover 3 is fitted against the inner wall of the outer protective cover 2.

[0043] Furthermore, an installation strip 6 is fixedly connected to the back of the fuse box 1, and an installation hole is provided at the top of the installation strip 6.

[0044] The fuse box 1 is bolted to the mounting block 21 of the outer protective cover 2 via the fixing block 12. Only 4 bolts are needed for disassembly and assembly, reducing maintenance time. The mounting strip 6 has pre-drilled standard holes and can be directly fixed to the crossbeam of the vehicle frame, making it suitable for the narrow installation space of light trucks and other vehicle models.

[0045] The outer protective cover 2 is fixed to the fuse box 1 with bolts, forming a physical protective layer to block large particles of impurities. The sealing strip 31 of the inner sealing cover 3 is embedded in the sealing groove 11 of the fuse box 1. The stepped structure achieves multi-level barrier, so even if a small amount of moisture enters the outer protective cover 2, it will be intercepted by the inner sealing cover 3.

[0046] Power is input from the battery into the fuse box 1, and distributed to each circuit branch via copper busbars. The power distribution cavity 4 is independent of the sealing structure to avoid the impact of high temperatures on the sealing material. Cables pass through the cable sealing ring 5 into the power distribution cavity 4. The cable sealing ring 5 deforms under pressure to fill the gaps between the cables, forming a dynamic seal. The mounting strip 6 is fixed to the frame with bolts. A vibration buffer gap is reserved between the fuse box 1 and the frame to adapt to the complex road conditions of light trucks.

[0047] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
