a locking pin head portion connected to the locking pin fixing portion;
a locking slot; and
a step formed between the locking pin head portion and the locking slot,
the bolt head portion being clamped with the step to prevent the locking pin from being separated from the locking pin fixing portion.
8 . The anti-loose bolt connection structure for a junction box according to claim 7 , wherein,
the locking slot is formed such that when the bolt rotates in an unscrewing direction, a side wall of the through hole of the bolt head portion presses against a bottom wall of the locking slot, and the bolt head portion is clamped with the step.
9 . The anti-loose bolt connection structure for a junction box according to claim 5 , wherein,
the locking pin is made of an electrically non-conductive material.
10 . The anti-loose bolt connection structure for a junction box according to claim 1 , wherein,
the bolt extends through the through hole of the second terminal and is threadedly connected with the threaded hole of the first terminal.
11 . The anti-loose bolt connection structure for a junction box according to claim 2 , wherein,
in the first state, the bolt is rotatable relative to the junction box main body; and
in the second state, the anti-loose plate prevents rotation of the bolt relative to the junction box main body.
12 . The anti-loose bolt connection structure for a junction box according to claim 3 , wherein,
in the second state, the second protrusion is connected to the junction box main body such that the anti-loose plate is non-rotatably connected to the junction box main body.
13 . The anti-loose bolt connection structure for a junction box according to claim 3 , wherein,
in the first state, the second protrusion is disengaged from the junction box main body such that the anti-loose plate is rotatable about the first protrusion relative to the junction box main body.
14 . A method of forming an anti-loose connection structure for a junction box, comprising:
providing a junction box main body, wherein the junction box main body includes a first terminal having a threaded hole;
providing a second terminal for electrically connecting to the first terminal, the second terminal including a through hole;
aligning the through hole with the threaded hole;
inserting a bolt through the through hole;
rotating a bolt head portion of the bolt to threadedly connect the bolt to the first terminal via the threaded hole;
providing an anti-loose assembly, wherein the anti-loose assembly is configured to engage the bolt head portion of the bolt; and
connecting the anti-loose assembly to the junction box main body such that the anti-loose assembly prevents rotation of the bolt head portion relative to the junction box main body, wherein the anti-loose assembly includes a plate having a bolt locking hole adapted to a shape of the bolt head portion.
15 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein the anti-loose assembly is made of an electrically non-conductive material.
16 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein engaging the bolt head portion includes rotating the anti-loose assembly relative to the junction box main body to sleeve the bolt locking hole on the bolt head portion.
