Abstract
A junction box includes a box body and a conductive bar. A guide plate extends from a lead insertion opening, with a laterally extended connection portion at its extended end to connect the box body. First and second support plates and edges of the guiding plate form passages accessible to a lead insert space defined by the guiding plate, the connecting portion, the second support plate and the box body. The conductive bar has a bent conductive arm that moves into the inside of the lead insert space by an elastic force, therefore locked in said space, after it passes the passages.
Claims15
A junction box, comprising a box body, comprising a side wall and at least one box wall, wherein the side wall provides at least two lead insertion openings for a least to be inserted;
- and a conductive bar arranged in the box body, comprising a man body and two conductive arms, and each conductive arm points to a lead insertion opening;
- wherein the box body further comprises:
- at least two guide plates, each attached to the box body and extending from a lead insertion opening in a wire insertion direction;
- a laterally connecting portion connected to an extended end of a guide plate and the side wall;
- at least two sets of first and second positioning plates protruding laterally from the box wall, configured to respectively form a first passage space between a first positioning plate and an extended end of a corresponding guide plate, and a second passage space between a second positioning plate and one side of the corresponding guide plate;
- and each to define a lead insertion space by one second positioning plate, a corresponding guide plate, a connecting portion, and the box wall, the lead insertion space being accessible from the second passage space;
- and
- wherein a part of the main body of the conductive bar is arranged between the connecting portion and the first positioning plate, and the conductive arms on both sides of the conductive bar are located inside the lead insertion space;
- and
- a thickness of the conductive bar is configured so that the conductive arms on both sides can pass through the corresponding second passage space and enter the corresponding lead insertion space;
- wherein an extending direction of the two conductive arms is substantially parallel, and after the conductive arms on both sides of the conductive bar enter the lead insertion space, they move from the plane of the second passage space to the inside of the lead insertion space.
