DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0032] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0033] Embodiment 1
[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a new type of hidden outlet device for photovoltaic modules according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises two wires 2, one end of the wire 2 is connected to a wire connector 1 3, and the other end of the wire 2 is connected to a wire connector 2 4. The ends of the two wires 2 are installed inside a photovoltaic junction box 1, and the photovoltaic junction box 1 is installed at the back plate of the photovoltaic module. A plurality of photovoltaic modules are connected in series to form a whole.
[0035] The photovoltaic junction box 1 includes an upper cover 5 and a box body 6. An outlet box 7 is installed on the side of the box body 6. A wire adjustment component 8 is movably installed inside the outlet box 7. The wire adjustment component 8 is used to adjust the length of the wire 2 outside the outlet box 7 and the box body 6. The wire adjustment component 8 plays a wire outlet role.
[0036] Specifically, the photovoltaic junction box 1 is installed on the back panel of the photovoltaic solar panel, and the photovoltaic solar panel is electrically connected to the wire connector 1 3 and wire connector 2 4 of the adjacent photovoltaic solar panel through the wire connector 1 3 and wire connector 2 4 set on its back panel. The length of the traditional electric wire 2 is certain. At this time, when two adjacent photovoltaic junction boxes 1 are electrically connected, if the length of the wire 2 is too long, the wire 2 is prone to loosening and falling after the electrical connection. If the length of the wire 2 is too short, the electrical connection is prone to fail. In the present device, a part of the end of the wire 2 used for electrical connection is inside the outlet box 7, and the wire adjustment component 8 inside the outlet box 7 adjusts the end of the wire 2, thereby controlling the length of the wire 2 outside the box body 6 and the outlet box 7, so that the length of the wire 2 for electrical connection is moderate, thereby avoiding the situation where the length is too long or too short.
[0037] like Figure 2-Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, a card slot 63 is opened inside the box body 6, and multiple electronic components 61 are installed inside the box body 6. The multiple electronic components 61 are electrically connected to each other, and electrical wire terminals 62 are installed at the ends of the corresponding electronic components 61. The ends of the wires 2 are located inside the outlet box 7 and connected to the electrical wire terminals 62. The ends of the wires 2 inside the outlet box 7 are adjusted by the wire adjustment component 8.
[0038] A second card slot 71 is provided inside the outlet box 7 , and the upper cover 5 is connected to the box body 6 via the first card slot 63 and the second card slot 71 .
[0039] A mounting snap ring 51 and a U-shaped card 52 are installed at the bottom of the upper cover 5. A through groove 53 is opened at the bottom of the U-shaped card 52. The through groove 53 matches the outer circumference of the wire 2 at the corresponding position. The upper cover 5 is installed directly above the box body 6 through the mounting snap ring 51, the U-shaped card 52 and the through groove 53.
[0040] Specifically, the upper cover 5 is pressed so that the mounting ring 51 is inserted into the first card slot 63, and the U-shaped card 52 is inserted into the second card slot 71, thereby completing the installation of the upper cover 5, the box body 6 and the outlet box 7. The end of the wire 2 is connected to the electrical wire terminal 62, and passes through the outlet box 7 and the second card slot 71 to extend to the outside.
[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, the wire adjustment assembly 8 includes a sliding block 82 slidably installed inside the outlet box 7, a rack 821 is installed on the side of the sliding block 82, an adjustment gear 84 is movably installed on the inner bottom of the outlet box 7, and an adjustment button 83 is connected to the bottom of the adjustment gear 84 through an axis. The adjustment button 83 is located on the bottom outer side of the box body 6. The wire adjustment assembly 8 also includes an adjustment column 81 installed above the sliding block 82, and the end of the wire 2 is wrapped around the outside of the adjustment column 81.
[0042] Specifically, when it is necessary to adjust the length of the wire 2 outside the photovoltaic junction box 1, the adjusting knob 83 is turned forward to drive the adjusting gear 84 to rotate, drive the sliding block 82 and the adjusting column 81 to slide, and part of the wire 2 is wrapped around the outside of the adjusting column 81 in a U-shaped state. After the adjusting column 81 moves, part of the wire 2 is still wrapped around the outside of the adjusting column 81, but the U-shaped state changes at this time, and its excess line segments can be exposed on the outside of the photovoltaic junction box 1. At this time, the total length of the wire 2 exposed on the outside of the photovoltaic junction box 1 becomes longer, that is, the length of the wire 2 is adjusted to avoid the close connection of multiple photovoltaic junction boxes 1. Reversely turning the adjusting knob 83 can shorten the total length of the wire 2 exposed on the outside of the photovoltaic junction box 1.
[0043] like Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, the line adjustment assembly 8 also includes an engagement column 85 slidably mounted on the inner bottom of the outlet box 7, an air cylinder 86 is mounted on one end of the engagement column 85, the air cylinder 86 is mounted on the inner bottom of the outlet box 7, and an air pipe 87 is mounted on the end of the air cylinder 86.
[0044] Circular grooves 72 are provided on the inner walls of both sides of the second slot 71 . The circular grooves 72 are located outside the circumference of the corresponding wire 2 . An inflatable airbag 73 is installed inside the two connected circular grooves 72 . The inflatable airbag 73 is connected to the air cylinder 86 through an air pipe 87 .
[0045] Specifically, the wire 2 extends through the outlet box 7, and in the present device, circular grooves 72 are provided on the inner walls of both sides of the second card slot 71, so that the expansion airbag 73 is inside the circular groove 72 and does not affect the installation of the wire 2. The conventional photovoltaic junction box 1 that can adjust the outlet wire will affect the sealing between the wire 2 and the photovoltaic junction box 1 after adjusting the length of the wire 2, thereby causing the photovoltaic junction box 1 to leak liquid when working, thereby affecting the overall working efficiency of the photovoltaic junction box 1 and damaging the working life of the photovoltaic junction box 1. In the present device, the adjustment When the gear 84 rotates to increase the exposed length of the wire 2, it will drive the meshing column 85 to slide, and then squeeze the air cylinder 86, so that the air cylinder 86 has an inflating effect, and the gas enters the expansion airbag 73 through the air pipe 87, so that the expansion airbag 73 is inflated, thereby tightening the connection between the wire 2, the second card slot 71 and the U-shaped card 52. When the expansion airbag 73 is inflated, the excess wire segment of the wire 2 can be exposed by external tension, that is, in this device, while adjusting the exposed length of the wire 2, the sealing between the photovoltaic junction box 1 and the wire 2 can still be maintained.
[0046] Embodiment 2
[0047] like Figure 6-Figure 8As shown, compared with Example 1, another embodiment of the present invention is: the expansion airbag 73 includes an annular airbag 1 731 located inside a circular groove 72 and an annular airbag 2 732 located inside another corresponding circular groove 72, and the bottoms of the annular airbags 1 731 and 732 are connected with arc-shaped airbags 733.
[0048] Specifically, when the annular airbag 1 731, the annular airbag 2 732 and the arc-shaped airbag 733 are not inflated, they do not contact the outer side of the circumference of the wire 2, and the arc-shaped airbag 733 does not affect the downward pressure of the U-shaped card 52 inserted into the second card slot 71. When the annular airbag 1 731 and the annular airbag 2 732 are inflated, the adjacent two sides of the annular airbag 1 731 and the annular airbag 2 732 will be in close contact with the two sides of the U-shaped card 52 inserted into the second card slot 71, thereby enhancing the sealing between the outlet box 7 and the wire 2, and the upper side of the arc-shaped airbag 733 is in close contact with the lower side of the circumference of the corresponding wire 2, and the two sides of the arc-shaped airbag 733 are in close contact with the inner wall of the bottom of the through groove 53, thereby further enhancing the sealing between the outlet box 7 and the wire 2, so that the leaked liquid will not enter through the connection between the photovoltaic junction box 1 and the wire 2, and the exposed length of the wire 2 can be adjusted without affecting the sealing.
[0049] Working principle: The photovoltaic junction box 1 is installed on the back of the photovoltaic solar panel. The photovoltaic solar panel is electrically connected to the wire connector 1 3 and wire connector 2 4 of the adjacent photovoltaic solar panel through the wire connector 1 3 and wire connector 2 4 set on its back. The length of the traditional wire 2 is fixed. At this time, when two adjacent photovoltaic junction boxes 1 are electrically connected, if the length of the wire 2 is too long, the wire 2 is prone to loosening and falling after the electrical connection. If the length of the wire 2 is too short, it is easy to fail to electrically connect. In this device, a part of the end of the wire 2 used for electrical connection is inside the outlet box 7. The wire adjustment component 8 inside the outlet box 7 adjusts the end of the wire 2, thereby controlling the length of the wire 2 outside the box body 6 and the outlet box 7, so that the wire for electrical connection 2 is of moderate length, thereby avoiding the situation that the length is too long or too short. When it is necessary to adjust the length of the wire 2 outside the photovoltaic junction box 1, the adjusting knob 83 is turned forward to drive the adjusting gear 84 to rotate, drive the sliding block 82 and the adjusting column 81 to slide, and part of the wire 2 is wound around the outside of the adjusting column 81 in a U-shaped state. After the adjusting column 81 moves, part of the wire 2 is still wound around the outside of the adjusting column 81, but at this time the U-shaped state changes, and its redundant line segment can be exposed outside the photovoltaic junction box 1. At this time, the total length of the wire 2 exposed outside the photovoltaic junction box 1 becomes longer, that is, the length of the wire 2 is adjusted to avoid the close connection of multiple photovoltaic junction boxes 1. The total length of the wire 2 exposed outside the photovoltaic junction box 1 can be shortened by turning the adjusting knob 83 in the reverse direction.
[0050] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present invention.
