[0018] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0019] like Figure 1-6The power control black box shown includes a control box 1, which includes a base 14 and a cover 15 (using snap-fit ​​or screw fixing, etc.). The control box 1 contains a power module 2 and a control module 3. The control box 1 contains at least one positioning seat 4, which includes two spaced positioning plates 5 and a pressure plate 6 detachably connected to the upper end of the two positioning plates 5. A positioning groove 7 for accommodating the control module 3 is formed between the two positioning plates 5. The pressure plate 6 has a first snap-fit ​​part 8 at both ends, and the positioning plate 5 has a second snap-fit ​​part 9 that cooperates with the first snap-fit ​​part 8. The pressure plate 6 can be pressed against the upper surface of the control module 3 and fixed to the positioning plate 5 by the snap-fit ​​cooperation of the first snap-fit ​​part 8 and the second snap-fit ​​part 9. The improvement of this application lies in the mechanical fixing structure and installation method of the internal modules of the power control black box. As for how the power control black box adjusts the brightness of the display screen, and how the power supply and control module 3 are electrically connected via cables or circuits, these all employ existing mature technologies and are not the focus of this application. In this embodiment, the control module 3 is a commercially available module, such as products from brands like Xiezhu, Weilaiju, and Aolaiwei. The selection of the control module 3 is not the focus of this application. The black box in this embodiment uses a black casing and integrates the control module 3 and the power module 2. The size of the power control black box is typically within the range of (length ≤ 400mm, width ≤ 300mm, height ≤ 60mm), which is a compact design. The specific dimensions of this application are 364mm (length) x 271.5mm (width) x 50mm (height). Within this range and compared to similar power control black boxes, it has higher space utilization and is more compact.

[0020] The control module 3 is quickly installed and fixed by engaging the first snap-fit ​​portion 8 at both ends of the pressure plate 6 with the second snap-fit ​​portion 9 on the positioning plate 5. This structure eliminates the traditional screw locking method, eliminating the need for precise alignment of screw holes and any additional tools during installation, greatly simplifying the operation and significantly improving assembly efficiency.

[0021] The positioning plate 5 has multiple second engaging portions 9 spaced apart along its height direction; the first engaging portions 8 at both ends of the pressure plate 6 can engage with the second engaging portions 9 at different height positions to adjust the pressing height of the pressure plate 6. In this embodiment, the first engaging portion 8 and the second engaging portion 9 are respectively a matching hook and a locking block or a locking hole and a locking groove. The hook is a triangular prism-shaped block structure, and a guide slope 10 is provided on the side of the hook facing the installation direction of the pressure plate 6.

[0022] By providing multiple second latching parts 9 at intervals along the height of the positioning plate 5, the pressure plate 6 can be matched with latching parts of different heights according to the thickness of different control modules 3, thereby flexibly adjusting the pressing height of the pressure plate 6. This design allows a single-specification positioning seat 4 to accommodate various control modules 3 of different sizes, enhancing product versatility and reducing production and inventory costs.

[0023] A movable hole 11 is provided on the pressure plate 6, and an elastic pretensioning plate 12 is connected inside the movable hole 11. The elastic pretensioning plate 12 can move up and down relative to the pressure plate 6. The side of the elastic pretensioning plate 12 facing the control module 3 has a protrusion 13. When the pressure plate 6 is not subjected to external force, the lower end surface of the protrusion 13 is lower than the lower end surface of the pressure plate 6. In this embodiment, the width of the elastic pretensioning plate 12 is smaller than the width of the movable hole 11, and the elastic pretensioning plate 12 is located in the middle of the movable hole 11.

[0024] The elastic pre-tightening plate 12 on the pressure plate 6 can move up and down relative to the pressure plate 6, and the protrusion 13 on it can continuously apply elastic pressure to the surface of the control module 3 after the pressure plate 6 is pressed. This structure not only ensures the initial clamping force, but also effectively compensates for possible gap loosening in a vibration environment, greatly improving the reliability and shock resistance of the connection, and avoiding the risk of module loosening due to vibration.

[0025] The control box 1 has at least two positioning seats 4, and these two positioning seats 4 are arranged in a straight line along the length or width of the control box 1. In this embodiment, four sets are preferably provided. The power module 2 has two sets. The positioning seats 4 are arranged in a straight line inside the control box 1. This modular design concept greatly improves the utilization rate of the internal space of the control box 1. Users can flexibly configure and install different numbers or types of control modules 3 according to actual functional requirements, which meets the development needs of product serialization and modularization.

[0026] 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.
