Abstract

A connection box comprises a box body and a plug-in panel disposed on a top portion of the box body. The box body includes a guiding groove therein. The guiding groove extends from the top portion of the box body into an interior of the box body. A shielding member is slidably received in the guiding groove. The guiding groove and the shielding member in the box body permit the plug-in panel to be reliably covered, thereby avoiding dusts or any liquid from entering the plug-in hole and causing short circuit. The guiding groove has several sections, such that the shielding member can be suitably received in the box body, thereby reducing the overall volume of the box body, reducing the amount of material of the box body, and increasing the aesthetics of the overall connection box.
