Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of junction box technology, and specifically to a junction box. Background Technology
[0002] A junction box is an electrical enclosure used to house and protect wire / cable connections (joints, branches, terminations) and facilitate future maintenance. You can think of it as a "protective shell" and "transfer station" for wire connections.
[0003] Current rail-mounted junction boxes generally suffer from the following technical defects:
[0004] 1. Insufficient reliability of electrical connections: The internal terminal blocks are mostly flat plate structures, which have limited contact area with the wires during wiring, resulting in poor wire crimping stability and high contact resistance. This can easily cause abnormal heating at the connection points, posing a safety hazard.
[0005] 2. Lack of expansion flexibility: The lack of standardized splicing structure between the boxes makes it impossible to achieve rapid modular combination, resulting in low installation efficiency when deploying multiple boxes;
[0006] 3. Limited installation location: Traditional guide rail clips can only be fixed from the end of the guide rail. The installation position needs to be precisely reserved during construction. It cannot be flexibly installed at any position on the guide rail according to the needs of the site, which greatly limits the freedom of wiring.
[0007] Therefore, the applicant has made beneficial designs and found a way to solve the above problems. The technical solution to be introduced below is generated in this context. Utility Model Content

[0020] The front of the guide rail groove is provided with a retaining strip for limiting position;
[0021] A through hole is provided at the rear part of the bottom wall of the box;
[0022] A guide rail buckle for locking the guide rail is rotatably provided inside the through hole;
[0023] The through hole extends towards the bottom of the box to form a buckle groove, and the inner wall of the buckle groove is provided with a limiting groove;
[0024] The bottom of the guide rail buckle is provided with a stop block for abutting against the guide rail, and one side of the stop block is provided with a protruding edge that cooperates with the limiting groove;
[0025] The top surface of the stop has a sloping structure;
[0026] The front and rear parts of one outer side wall of the box are provided with inverted L-shaped splicing buckles;
[0027] The front and rear parts of the other opposite outer side wall of the box are provided with splicing grooves for matching the splicing buckles on the adjacent junction boxes.
[0028] Preferably, the top of the guide rail buckle is provided with a screwdriver slot for tightening operations.
[0029] Preferably, the lid is placed on top of the box body; the box body and the lid each have through lead sealing holes at two diagonal positions for threading lead sealing wire.
[0030] Preferably, mounting holes are provided on the front and rear sides of the bottom wall of the box to assist in installation and fixation.
[0031] Preferably, guide grooves are provided on the front and rear sides of the box cover, corresponding to the positions of the lead seal holes; the two side walls of the guide grooves have outwardly expanding arc-shaped surfaces.
[0032] Beneficial effects
[0033] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0034] 1. Enhance the reliability and safety of electrical connections:
[0035] By recessing an arc-shaped groove into the surface of the terminal block, the contact area between the wires and the terminal block is significantly increased. This design not only improves the mechanical stability of the wire crimping but also effectively reduces contact resistance, thereby greatly reducing the risk of abnormal overheating at the connection point and improving the long-term reliability and operational safety of the electrical connection.
[0036] 2. Optimize installation convenience and flexibility:
[0037] The rail mounting system comprises a rail groove at the bottom of the box, a front retaining strip, and a rear rotatable rail clip (with a stop, raised edge, and screwdriver slot), forming a highly efficient rail mounting mechanism. Simply insert the rail groove into the rail, and use a tool to rotate the rail clip to lock the stop in place. This allows for stepless adjustment and quick locking of the junction box at any position on the rail, making installation extremely convenient and flexible.
[0038] Modular splicing design: The inverted L-shaped splicing buckle and matching splicing groove on the side wall of the box allow multiple junction boxes to be quickly and stably spliced horizontally through a simple snap-fit action, which greatly simplifies the multi-box assembly and installation process and facilitates expanded applications.
[0039] 3. Improve structural stability and ease of maintenance:
[0040] The design of the connector plate being inserted into the terminal block and extending to form a gap, along with the positioning groove, ensures precise and stable installation of the terminal block and connector plate within the box.
[0041] The mounting holes on the front and back of the bottom wall of the box provide auxiliary fixing points, enhancing the overall installation strength. Through-hole lead-sealing holes diagonally located on the cover and box body facilitate the application of lead seals, ensuring the equipment is safe and tamper-proof.
[0042] The guide groove (with an outwardly flared arc surface) on the box cover, corresponding to the lead seal hole position, effectively guides the lead seal thread through, simplifying the sealing operation. Attached Figure Description
