Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bypass protection junction boxes in photovoltaic modules, and in particular to a photovoltaic module bypass protection junction box with low power consumption and low heat generation. Background Art
[0002] Due to the characteristics of photovoltaic modules, when the cells are blocked from light to a certain extent, the corresponding cells will change from power generation units to power consumption units. At the same time, the blocked cells will generate a lot of heat due to the long-term current flow, which will cause hot spots to form on the modules.
[0003] The existing method is to install a corresponding bypass protection device, i.e., a bypass protection junction box for photovoltaic modules, on each substring cell of the photovoltaic module. The bypass protection junction box uses a Schottky power diode as the core bypass protection device. When the substring cell is blocked from light, the current of the photovoltaic module passes through the Schottky power diode in the bypass protection junction box. The Schottky power diode generates a forward voltage drop of about 0.3 volts to 0.5 volts, resulting in a large power consumption of each Schottky power diode, resulting in a large power loss in a small junction box and a large amount of heat. Summary of the invention
[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide a photovoltaic module bypass protection junction box with low power consumption and low heat generation, which has the effects of low power loss and low heat generation.
[0005] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions: A low-power-consumption and low-heat photovoltaic module bypass protection junction box comprises a photovoltaic module, wherein the photovoltaic module comprises a plurality of battery cells, and a plurality of bypass protection junction boxes are arranged on the photovoltaic module, wherein the bypass protection junction boxes comprise a junction box body, and the number of the junction box bodies is equal to the number of battery cells; The junction box body comprises a box body, the box body comprises a base and a cover plate, a printed circuit board is arranged in the base, and a power electronic switch, a drive unit and an energy storage unit are arranged on the printed circuit board; The printed circuit board is arranged in parallel with the corresponding battery sheet.
[0006] In a preferred example, the present invention can be further configured as follows: the driving unit and the power electronic switch are separately arranged.
[0007] In a preferred example, the present invention may be further configured as follows: the pad on the printed circuit board separates the driving unit from the power electronic switch.
[0008] In a preferred example, the present invention may be further configured as follows: there are at least two pads between the driving unit and the power electronic switch.
[0009] In a preferred example, the present invention can be further configured as follows: a plurality of heat dissipation holes are provided at the bottom of the base.
[0010] In summary, the present invention includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. By setting a power electronic switch, a drive unit and an energy storage unit in the junction box, the power electronic switch device replaces the Schottky forward and reverse switch. When the current of the photovoltaic module passes through the bypass protection, the forward voltage drop generated by the module is ≤0.1V, the power loss is small, and the heat generated is also small.
[0011] 2. By separating the power electronic switch from the drive unit, the heat generated by the power electronic switch is prevented from affecting the drive unit.
[0012] 3. By opening heat dissipation holes on the base of the box body, the internal temperature of the box body can be further reduced. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
