Abstract
A junction box assembly includes a main body on which an electric circuit is disposed having at least one socket electrically connected to the electric circuit. A first cover covers a surface of the main body on which the electric circuit is disposed. A second cover covers another surface of the main body opposite the first surface and has a connector corresponding to the at least one socket. A coupling unit fastens the main body and the second cover together by a sliding motion thereof, such that the socket and the connector are coupled to each other.
Claims5
A junction box assembly, comprising:
- a main body on which an electric circuit is disposed, and having at least one socket electrically connected to the electric circuit;
- a first cover covering one surface of the main body on which the electric circuit is disposed;
- a second cover covering another surface of the main body opposite to said one surface, and having a connector corresponding to the at least one socket;
- and
- a coupling unit fastening the main body and the second cover together by a sliding motion thereof such that the socket and the connector are coupled to each other, wherein the coupling unit comprises:
- at least one guide projection disposed on the second cover;
- a slider slidably disposed on the main body corresponding to the guide projection;
- a projection sliding portion disposed on the slider correspondingly to the guide projection, and having a slot inclined at a predetermined angle such that the guide projection perpendicularly moves with respect to a direction of movement of the slider according to movement of the slider;
- and
- a pressing portion for moving the slider, said pressing portion comprising:
- a linking bar having an end pivotally coupled to an end of the slider by a dynamic axle;
- and
- an indirect pressing lever fixed to another end of the linking bar with a predetermined angle therebetween, wherein a fixed portion is pivotally coupled to the main body by a stationary axle, such that, when the indirect pressing lever is pressed, the linking bar rotates with respect to the stationary axle and accordingly moves the dynamic axle and the slider.
