Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic combiner boxes, and in particular relates to an energy-saving photovoltaic combiner box with an arc extinguishing function. Background Art

[0002] The photovoltaic combiner box is an important component of the photovoltaic power generation system. Its basic function is to conduct primary confluence of the input of the photovoltaic cell array, which is used to reduce the connection between the photovoltaic cell array and the inverter, optimize the system structure, and improve reliability and maintainability. While providing the confluence lightning protection function, it also monitors the operating status of the photovoltaic panel, the current, voltage, power after confluence, the status of the lightning arrester, the status of the DC circuit breaker, the output of the relay contact, etc., and has sensor interface functions such as wind speed, temperature, and irradiation meter for customers to choose. The device is equipped with an RS485 interface as standard, which can upload the measured and collected data to the monitoring system.

[0003] With the development of the photovoltaic industry, the power of solar panels has gradually increased, and the voltage of a single panel has gradually increased, which has increased the possibility of arc generation to a certain extent. When the branch circuit is switched, the life of the circuit breaker is easily reduced due to the multiple occurrences of large arcs. At present, the technology such as the patent with application number 202222704804.2 introduces an arc-free circuit breaker based on a solid-state switch and an absorption buffer circuit, but it generates a lot of heat and consumes a lot of energy in the on state, and requires the installation of an additional heat dissipation structure. There are many circuit breakers in a junction box, which requires continuous heat dissipation, resulting in high energy consumption.

[0004] The junction box is generally equipped with an isolating switch. The isolating switch has an obvious disconnection function because it can produce a larger breakpoint to ensure absolute visual safety. The isolating switch does not have an arc extinguishing function and is generally used in conjunction with a circuit breaker. The power generation voltage and power generation capacity of the photovoltaic panel depend on the intensity of sunlight, which causes the voltage and electricity generated during the use of the photovoltaic panel to have a large pulsation, causing the circuit breaker to be damaged frequently. A circuit breaker that has lost its arc extinguishing function due to damage can only be powered off by an isolating switch. The isolating switch is very likely to be damaged due to the occurrence of an arc during its use, and may even be unable to cut off power due to the occurrence of an arc. The patent with application number 202023211586.6 discloses an isolating switch with an arc extinguishing function, but its arc extinguishing function is not strong and there is still room for improvement.

[0005] In addition, the junction box has good sealing properties to prevent water vapor from entering. Although it is equipped with a breathable valve as disclosed in the patent application number 202121371255.0, the breathable valve is only suitable for small-flow ventilation such as balancing the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the box, and cannot effectively perform large-flow rapid ventilation. In the summer when the sunlight is very strong, the junction box equipped with this breathable valve will have the risk of explosion because its internal heat cannot be effectively ventilated and depressurized in time.

[0006] The present invention designs an energy-saving photovoltaic combiner box with arc extinguishing function to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0007] Based on this, it is necessary to provide an energy-saving photovoltaic combiner box with an arc extinguishing function to address the problems existing in the current photovoltaic combiner box. The circuit breaker of the circuit protection component of the present invention is connected in parallel with the corresponding energy absorption buffer component to form a composite circuit breaker, which further shortens the arc extinguishing time of the circuit breaker, thereby shortening the duration of the arc, effectively reducing the energy consumption of the circuit breaker and effectively protecting the circuit breaker from damage caused by multiple large arcs. The heat dissipation and explosion-proof component of the present invention can monitor the rapid increase in the temperature of the circuit in the space where each circuit protection component is located through the electromagnet control component without the need to set up a special heat dissipation structure, and effectively perform large-flow pressure relief and heat dissipation on the space where the circuit protection component is located. The pressure relief pipe of the heat dissipation and explosion-proof component of the present invention uses natural wind to effectively relieve pressure and dissipate heat in the box after the first valve component and the second valve component are opened, which can achieve the purpose of effective pressure relief and heat dissipation while effectively reducing the energy consumption required for pressure relief and heat dissipation. The isolating switch in the present invention can generate a larger isolation space to ensure reliable and visible effective disconnection of the circuit. The isolating switch in the isolating and disconnecting assembly in the present invention can replace the damaged circuit breaker to effectively disconnect the circuit when the circuit breaker of the circuit protection assembly is damaged. The isolating switch in the present invention can quickly and effectively extinguish the arc by quickly blowing airflow to the arc and cooling the arc when it disconnects the circuit, without adding special energy-consuming components, and each isolating switch is connected in parallel with a corresponding energy-absorbing buffer component, which further shortens the duration of the arc generated by the isolating switch. The breathable valve assembly in the present invention replaces the heat dissipation and explosion-proof assembly to balance the internal and external pressure difference of the box and waterproof the box when the pressure in the box changes slightly due to a small amount of heat generation. When the pressure in the box further increases and the heat dissipation and explosion-proof assembly cannot be triggered, the breathable valve assembly eliminates the obstruction of the waterproof breathable membrane to ventilate with a larger flow rate, thereby achieving the purpose of effective ventilation and balancing the internal and external air pressures.

A fourth ring sleeve 817 is installed on the outer side of the upper end of the third ring sleeve 814 through threads. The fourth ring sleeve 817 is connected to a third circular ring 819 through a sixth connecting rod 818, and a seventh spring 820 is connected between the third circular ring 819 and the cone ring 811.

[0075] like Fig.12 , Fig.14 As shown, the third connecting rod 609 and the pointer 610 in the present invention are both made of insulating materials.

[0076] like Figure 4 As shown, the opening edge of the installation box 101 in the present invention is provided with a sealing gasket 102 that cooperates with the box cover 103.

[0077] like Figure 3 , Fig.11 As shown, a mounting frame 105 is provided in the mounting box 101 of the present invention, and the lightning arrester 106, the fuse 201, the circuit breaker 202, the energy absorption buffer assembly 300 and the electromagnet control assembly 500 of the present invention are all installed on the mounting frame 105.

[0078] like Fig.21As shown, the energy absorption buffer component 300 in the present invention includes a first shell 301, in which a control circuit 302, a first solid-state switch 304 and an energy absorption buffer circuit 303 are installed. The energy absorption buffer circuit 303 is connected in parallel with the first solid-state switch, and the first solid-state switch 304 and the energy absorption buffer circuit 303 are electrically connected to the control circuit 302.

[0079] The energy absorption and buffering assembly 300 in the present invention may also be other commutation type hybrid circuit breakers 202 formed with the circuit breaker 202 .

[0080] like Fig. 22 As shown, the electromagnet control component 500 in the present invention includes a second shell 501, and the second shell 501 is equipped with a second solid-state switch 502 and a temperature detection chip 503, the temperature detection chip 503 is electrically connected to the thermocouple 504, and the second solid-state switch 502 is electrically connected to the temperature detection chip 503 and the control electromagnet 419.

[0081] The circuit breaker 202 of the circuit protection assembly 200 of the present invention is connected in parallel with the corresponding energy absorption buffer assembly 300 to form a composite circuit breaker 202, which further shortens the arc extinguishing time of the circuit breaker 202, thereby shortening the duration of the arc, effectively reducing the energy consumption of the circuit breaker 202 and effectively protecting the circuit breaker 202 from damage caused by multiple large arcs. The heat dissipation and explosion-proof assembly 400 of the present invention can monitor the rapid increase in the temperature of the circuit in the space where each circuit protection assembly 200 is located through the electromagnet control assembly 500 without setting a special heat dissipation structure, and effectively perform large-flow pressure relief and heat dissipation on the space where the circuit protection assembly 200 is located. The pressure relief pipe 401 of the heat dissipation and explosion-proof assembly 400 of the present invention uses natural wind to effectively relieve pressure and dissipate heat in the box after the first valve assembly 406 and the second valve assembly 414 are opened, achieving the purpose of effective pressure relief and heat dissipation while effectively reducing the energy consumption required for pressure relief and heat dissipation. The isolating switch 700 in the present invention can generate a larger isolation space to ensure reliable and visibly effective disconnection of the circuit. The isolating switch 700 in the isolating and breaking assembly 600 in the present invention can replace the damaged circuit breaker 202 to effectively control the circuit when the circuit breaker 202 of the circuit protection assembly 200 is damaged. The isolating switch 700 in the present invention can quickly and effectively extinguish the arc by quickly blowing airflow to the arc and cooling the arc when it disconnects the circuit, without adding special energy-consuming elements, and each isolating switch 700 is connected in parallel with a corresponding energy-absorbing buffer assembly 300, which further shortens the duration of the arc generated by the isolating switch 700. The breathable valve assembly 800 in the present invention replaces the heat dissipation and explosion-proof assembly 400 to balance the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the box and to provide waterproof protection for the box when the pressure in the box changes slightly due to a small amount of heat generation. When the pressure in the box further increases and the heat dissipation and explosion-proof assembly 400 cannot be triggered, the breathable valve assembly 800 eliminates the obstruction of the waterproof breathable membrane 816 and ventilates at a larger flow rate, thereby achieving effective ventilation and balancing the internal and external air pressures.

[0082] The operation process of the present invention is as follows:

[0083] In the initial state, the box cover 103 is in a closed state with respect to the installation box 101, the first valve assembly 406 and the second valve assembly 414 are both in a closed state, the first spring 411 in the first valve assembly 406 and the second spring 424 in the second valve assembly 414 are in a compressed state and a stretched state respectively, the control electromagnet 419 in the second valve assembly 414 is not energized, the sixth spring 809 and the seventh spring 820 in the breathable valve assembly 800 are in a stretched state and a compressed state respectively, the cover plate 821 in the breathable valve assembly 800 closes the annular space between the third ring sleeve 814 and the second ring sleeve 801, and the fourth valve plug 810 and the fifth valve plug 812 in the breathable valve assembly 800 close the third cone opening 804 and the cone ring 811 respectively. The third valve plug 718 in the isolating switch 700 closes the second cone 709, the fourth spring 722 is in a stretched state, the fifth spring 744 is in a stretched state, the center line between the first rotating sleeve 743 and the second rotating sleeve 745 deviates from the center of the tenth gear 742, the fifth spring 744 drives the electric contact plate 724 to contact the electric contact sheet 704 through the tenth gear 742, the ninth gear 741, the second shaft sleeve 737, the sixth gear 736, and the second rack 727 and close the L-shaped tube 701, the piston 713 is located at the limit height in the vertical section of the L-shaped tube 701 under the action of the third spring 715 and is against the limit ring 710, the third spring 715 is in a compressed state, the pointer 610 points to the closing mark 611, the fourth gear 733 and the third gear 731 are just not meshed, the fifth gear 735 and the first rack 726 are just not meshed, and the seventh gear 739 and the eighth gear 740 are just not meshed.

[0084] like Fig.23 As shown, when less heat is generated in the box assembly 100, the pressure difference between the inside of the box assembly 100 and the outside is small, and the temperature on the circuit is low. At this time, the thermocouple 504 in the electromagnet control assembly 500 in the circuit protection assembly 200 on each circuit senses the low temperature on the circuit and will not control the control electromagnet 419 in the second valve assembly 414 to be energized. The second valve plug 422 in the second valve assembly 414 closes the first cone opening 416 at the lower end of the corresponding first ring sleeve 415. The air in the box assembly 100 is discharged at a small flow rate through the breathable membrane 816 in the breathable valve assembly 800, the second breathable hole 813 in the middle of the fifth valve plug 812 and the first breathable hole 802 on the wall of the second ring sleeve 801 due to the increase in temperature, and will not overcome the elastic force of the sixth spring 809 and the seventh spring 820 to push the third valve plug 718 and the fourth valve plug 810 to move, thereby balancing the internal and external pressure difference of the box assembly 100.

[0085] When the air pressure in the box assembly 100 continues to rise due to the continued increase in temperature, the small flow ventilation of the breathable membrane 816 in the breathable valve assembly 800 cannot meet the balance requirement of the internal and external pressure difference. At this time, the air pressure in the box assembly 100 will overcome the elastic force of the seventh spring 820, push the fifth valve plug 812 through the breathable membrane 816 to open the cone ring 811 and reach the fourth valve plug 810. A part of the air reaching the fourth valve plug 810 is discharged through the first air hole 802, while the remaining air pressure is still relatively high, which will overcome the elastic force of the sixth spring 809 to push the fourth valve plug 810 to move downward and open the third cone mouth 804 and ventilate radially outward with a larger flow rate.

[0086] When the air pressure in the box assembly 100 reaches equilibrium with the outside, the fourth valve plug 810 and the fifth valve plug 812 reclose the breathable valve assembly 800 under the action of the sixth spring 809 and the seventh spring 820 respectively.

[0087] When the air pressure and temperature in the accommodation space where the circuit control component is located increase greatly due to the energy consumption of the circuit control component, the small flow ventilation function of the breathable valve component 800 cannot meet the demand for air pressure balance inside and outside the box component 100. At this time, the thermocouple 504 connected to the electromagnet control component 500 in the circuit control component detects the temperature of the corresponding circuit, and then controls the control electromagnet 419 in the corresponding second valve component 414 to be energized and form a repulsive force on the permanent magnet 423 in the corresponding second valve plug 422. The second valve plug 422 is repelled by the repulsive force. 16 is opened, the second spring 424 is further stretched, and at the same time, the second valve plug 422 drives the first valve plug 407 in the first valve assembly 406 to open the pressure relief port 402 in the pressure relief pipe 401 through the corresponding second guide rod 420, the block 421, the square frame 412 and the first guide rod 408, and the first spring 411 is further compressed. The high-pressure air in the box body is discharged to the outside through the opened first valve assembly 406 and the second valve assembly 414 to relieve the pressure. Negative pressure is generated at the top of the pressure relief pipe 401 and the high-pressure air in the box body assembly 100 is driven to be discharged to the outside through natural wind.

[0088] When the solenoid control assembly 500 in the circuit control assembly is damaged, the solenoid control assembly cannot control the second valve assembly 414 to open. As the air pressure in the box gradually accumulates and increases, the sum of the pressure-bearing areas of the second valve plugs 422 in all the second valve assemblies 414 is much larger than the pressure-bearing area of ​​the first valve plug 407 in the first valve assembly 406. Therefore, the second valve plugs 422 in all the second valve assemblies 414 overcome the elastic force of all the second springs 424 and the pressure of the first valve plug 407 in the first valve assembly 406 under the push of the internal air pressure. The spring 411 opens the second valve assembly 414. At the same time, the second valve plug 422 in the second valve assembly 414 drives the first valve plug 407 in the first valve assembly 406 to open the pressure relief port 402 in the pressure relief pipe 401 through the second guide rod 420, the block 421, the frame 412 and the first guide rod 408. The high-pressure air in the box assembly 100 is discharged to the outside through the opened first valve assembly 406 and the second valve assembly 414 to dissipate heat and relieve pressure, thereby preventing the box assembly 100 from exploding due to continuous pressure increase.

[0089] When it is necessary to disconnect all circuits based on disconnecting the circuit breaker 202 in the circuit protection assembly 200 or based on damage to the circuit breaker 202 in the circuit protection assembly 200, the twist wheel 607 is rotated, and the twist wheel 607 drives the first sleeves 734 in all the disconnectors 700 to rotate synchronously for one circle through the second rotating shaft 605, the second gear 604, the first gear 603, and the first rotating shaft 602. The first one-way clutch 608 prevents the second rotating shaft 605 from rotating in the opposite direction and only allows the second rotating shaft 605 to rotate in one direction driven by the twist wheel 607.

[0090] like Fig.23 In (a) and (b), during the rotation of the first sleeve 734 in the disconnector 700, the first sleeve 734 first drives the fourth gear 733 and the fifth gear 735 to rotate synchronously by 240 degrees, the fourth gear 733 drives the third gear 731 and the eighth gear 740 to rotate synchronously by a certain amplitude, the third gear 731 drives the third guide rod 714 and the third rack 728 to move downward synchronously through the fourth rack 730, the third guide rod 714 drives the piston 713 to move downward to the limit, and the third spring 731 drives the third gear 731 to rotate synchronously by a certain amplitude. The spring 715 is further compressed to store energy. At the same time, the eighth gear 740 drives the seventh gear 739 to idle. The second one-way clutch 738 is in a disengaged state. The 120 degrees of the fifth gear 735 are not engaged with the first rack 726. The trigger plate is still in contact with the electric contact piece 704 under the action of the fifth spring 744 and closes the horizontal section of the L-shaped tube 701. At this time, the teeth of the fourth gear 733 are about to disengage from the third gear 731, and the teeth of the fifth gear 735 are about to engage with the first rack 726.

[0091] like Fig.23In (b) and (c), the torsion wheel is continuously rotated 60-71 degrees, the teeth of the fourth gear 733 are disengaged from the third gear 731, and the teeth of the fifth gear 735 are about to mesh with the first rack 726. The piston 713 instantly rebounds and resets under the reset action of the third spring 715 and generates compressed internal air in the L-shaped tube 701. The piston 713 drives the third gear 731 and the eighth gear 740 to rotate and reset synchronously in the opposite direction through the third guide rod 714, the fourth rack 730 and the third rack 728. The eighth gear 740 drives the electric contact plate 724 to quickly disengage from the slot through the seventh gear 739, the second one-way clutch 738, the second shaft sleeve 737, the sixth gear 736 and the second rack 727. The electric contact piece 704 in 703 opens the L-shaped tube 701 instantly, and the air in the L-shaped tube 701 compressed and pushed by the piston 713 forms a fast-moving wind when the electric contact plate 724 opens instantly, and blows out the arc generated between the electric contact piece 704 and the electric contact plate 724. At the same time, the high-pressure air in the L-shaped tube 701 overcomes the elastic force of the third spring 715 and pushes the third valve plug 718 to open the L-shaped tube 701. Part of the arc enters the cooling channel 719 at the upper end of the third valve plug 718 for cooling under the action of wind. The arc is quickly extinguished under the blowing of wind and the cooling effect of the cooling channel 719, thereby achieving the purpose of rapid arc extinguishing. At this time, the eighth gear 740 is not engaged with the seventh gear 739.

[0092] like Fig.23 In (c) and (d), after the arc is extinguished, the fourth gear 733 and the fifth gear 735 are driven to rotate synchronously by 119 degrees through the torsion wheel 607, the fourth gear 733 is not engaged with the third gear 731, the eighth gear 740 is not engaged with the seventh gear 739, the third gear 731 and the eighth gear 740 do not rotate, the fifth gear 735 drives the electric contact plate 724 to reset upward through the first rack 726 to complete the contact connection with the electric contact piece 704 and close the L-shaped tube 701, the electric contact plate 724 drives the sixth gear 736 to rotate through the second rack 727, the sixth gear 736 drives the seventh gear 739 to rotate through the second shaft sleeve 737 and the second one-way clutch 738, and the second one-way clutch 738 is in a closed state. When the sum of the synchronous and continuous rotation angles of the fourth gear 733 and the fifth gear 735 reaches 360 degrees, the fourth gear 733 is meshed with the third gear 731 , and the fifth gear 735 is not meshed with the first rack 726 .

[0093] The energy absorption buffer assembly 300 connected in parallel with the isolating switch 700 can effectively shorten the duration of the arc generated by the isolating switch 700 .

[0094] like Fig.21As shown, the working principle of the energy absorption buffer component 300 is as follows: when a fault occurs in the DC system solar panel, the circuit breaker 202 is disconnected and the branch where the first solid-state switch 304 is located is controlled to be turned on through the control circuit 302. After the circuit breaker 202 is actuated, the contacts are pulled apart and an arc is generated. At this stage, the voltage between the contacts of the circuit breaker 202 rises rapidly. Under the action of the arc voltage generated by the circuit breaker 202, the main current is transferred from the circuit breaker 202 to the first solid-state switch 304. Since the on-resistance of the first solid-state switch 304 is much smaller than the resistance of the circuit breaker 202, this helps to achieve rapid current transfer and reduce the working time of the circuit breaker 202 under high voltage. After the current is completely transferred to the first solid-state switch 304, the first solid-state switch 304 is quickly turned off with the help of the energy absorption buffer circuit 303 and absorbs the remaining current and limits the overvoltage. After the first solid-state switch 304 is turned off, the energy absorption buffer circuit 303 continues to work to consume the energy generated during the circuit breaking process, while ensuring that the voltage across the circuit breaker 202 is stable, preparing for system recovery.

[0095] like Fig. 22 As shown, the working principle of the electromagnet control component 500 is: the temperature detection chip 503 in the electromagnet control component 500 receives the temperature signal on the circuit sensed by the thermocouple, and then controls the second solid-state switch 502 to switch, thereby controlling whether the electromagnet 419 is energized, and then controlling whether the electromagnet 419 generates a repulsive force on the permanent magnet 423 in the second valve plug 422, and further controls the switching of the second valve component 414 and the first valve component 406.
