Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cable connection technology, and in particular to a crimp-type connection device for photovoltaic DC cable connectors. Background Technology
[0002] In the daily operation and maintenance of photovoltaic power plants, it is often necessary to handle faults such as combiner box, module branch grounding, or other issues. When dealing with branch grounding or branch bus burnout faults, it is often necessary to connect two sections of DC cable. Existing technology connects two sections of DC cable using a traditional plug connection method. This traditional connector has the following core defects, making it unable to meet practical application requirements:
[0003] 1. Traditional connectors use copper cores as the connecting material, which increases costs. China has relatively low copper production. The new solution can effectively reduce copper usage, save resources, and reduce production costs.
[0004] 2. Traditional connectors use a socketing method between the copper cores, which increases contact resistance and reduces current transmission efficiency.
[0005] 3. The disassembly and assembly work is extremely cumbersome, requiring the use of special tools for connection. It cannot solve the problems of lossless cable connection and the inability to directly bury the joints. It is prone to grounding, short circuit and other faults when exposed to water or humid environments. Or, due to personnel's technical or process problems, the connection is easy to be unreliable, causing equipment failure. In addition, the traditional joint installation and replacement method is time-consuming and causes a large loss of power.
[0006] 4. Waterproofing fails after repeated disassembly and reassembly;
[0007] 5. Not suitable for temporary or mobile photovoltaic systems. Summary of the Invention
[0008] To address the technical problems existing in the aforementioned technologies, it is necessary to invent a photovoltaic DC cable connector crimping connection device. A photovoltaic DC cable connector crimping connection device includes a crimp box, a crimping block, a conductor, and a sealing gasket; the crimp box has crimping grooves at its two opposite ends; the conductor includes a U-shaped spiked copper conductor; and the sealing gasket is located around the perimeter of the crimping groove. As can be seen from the above technical solution, the photovoltaic DC cable crimping connection device provided by this invention allows workers to simply place the cable in the crimping groove, and the crimping block presses the cable into the U-shaped spiked copper conductor, making contact between the cable core and the conductor. Without using other tools, it can achieve a reliable connection between cables in a very short time. This is a technological innovation in photovoltaic DC cable connections for the new energy photovoltaic industry. Photovoltaic DC cables are widely used in photovoltaic power plants, greatly reducing the use of copper materials, reducing cable loss during photovoltaic DC cable insulation fault handling, reducing fault handling time, enhancing fault handling reliability, and improving current transmission efficiency, thus saving costs in the current vast number of new energy power generation projects.
