DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.

[0038] The present application embodiment discloses a photovoltaic panel junction box. Figure 1 The photovoltaic panel junction box includes a box body 1, a mounting seat 2 and a sealing member 3. In this embodiment, the sealing member 3 is a cylindrical structure.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 The box body 1 is provided with a receiving groove 4 and a first access port 51. The receiving groove 4 is used to receive the upper half of the seal 3. The first access port 51 is used to insert the cable. The diameter of the receiving groove 4 is larger than the diameter of the first access port 51, so that when the seal 3 is received in the receiving groove 4, the inside of the seal 3 and the first access port 51 are connected to each other.

[0040] The mounting seat 2 is provided with a second access port 52, which is used for the insertion of cables; the sealing member 3 is mounted on the mounting seat 2, and the lower half of the sealing member 3 in this embodiment is placed in the mounting seat 2; when the mounting seat 2 is mounted on the box body 1, the first access port 51 and the second access port 52 are spliced ​​and interpenetrated to form an access port 5, so that the cables can be inserted through the access port 5; the sealing member 3 abuts against the accommodating groove 4, that is, the outer wall of the upper half of the sealing member 3 abuts against the wall of the box body 1 corresponding to the accommodating groove 4; the inner diameter of the sealing member 3 gradually decreases from the side close to the access port 5 to the side away from the access port 5, so that after the cables are inserted into the access port 5, the sealing member 3 can guide the cables, so that the cables can be easily inserted into the box body 1. At the same time, since the sealing member 3 abuts against the box body 1 and the mounting seat 2, it can also play a certain sealing role.

[0041] In some embodiments, a limiting member 9 is provided on one side of the mounting seat 2 away from the second access port 52. The upper end surface of the limiting member 9 in this embodiment is an arc-shaped structure, so that the cable can be better positioned. The limiting member 9 is integrally formed with the mounting seat 2. One side of the sealing member 3 abuts against the limiting member 9, so that the installation of the sealing member 3 is more stable and the installation position is more accurate.

[0042] Reference Figure 3In some embodiments, both sides of the box body 1 are provided with a snap-in groove 7, and both sides of the mounting seat 2 are connected with a snap-in block 8. In this embodiment, the snap-in block 8 and the mounting seat 2 are provided in an integrated manner. When the mounting seat 2 is installed on the box body 1, the snap-in block 8 is snapped into the snap-in groove 7, that is, the snap-in block 8 and the wall surface of the box body 1 corresponding to the snap-in groove 7 are snap-into each other. So that the mounting seat 2 and the box body 1 can be conveniently fixed.

[0043] In some embodiments, the mounting base 2 is fixed to the box body 1 by welding. In this embodiment, the outer bottom wall of the mounting base 2 is fixed to the outer bottom wall of the box body 1 by ultrasonic welding, so as to better ensure the sealing between the mounting base 2 and the box body 1.

[0044] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, the mounting seat 2 is connected with an insert 10, and the insert 10 is used to guide the installation between the mounting seat 2 and the box body 1. In this embodiment, the insert 10 and the mounting seat 2 are fixed by integral molding. The box body 1 is provided with an insertion slot 11, and the shape of the insertion slot 11 is set corresponding to the shape of the insert 10, that is, the insert 10 can be fully or partially inserted into the insertion slot 11. In this embodiment, the insert 10 can be fully inserted into the insertion slot 11. When the mounting seat 2 is installed on the box body 1, the insert 10 is inserted into the insertion slot 11, so that the installation position of the mounting seat 2 and the box body 1 is limited, so that the installation position between the mounting seat 2 and the box body 1 can be more accurate. At the same time, due to the friction between the insert 10 and the wall of the box body 1 corresponding to the insertion slot 11, the mounting seat 2 can be more stably installed on the box body 1.

[0045] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments, the photovoltaic panel junction box further includes two metal brackets 12 and a diode 13. The metal bracket 12 is used to achieve electrical conduction between the diode 13 and the cable. In this embodiment, the metal bracket 12 is made of copper. In other embodiments, other conductive metals can be used as needed. The metal bracket 12 is arranged inside the box body 1, and the two ends of the diode 13 are respectively connected to the metal bracket 12. The electrical conduction of the diode 13 is achieved through the metal bracket 12.

[0046] In some embodiments, the metal bracket 12 is recessed to form a recessed portion 14. In this embodiment, two recessed portions 14 are provided for each metal bracket 12, and in other embodiments, the recessed portions 14 may be provided according to actual needs. The provision of the recessed portions 14 can improve the welding yield rate of laser welding between the cable and the metal bracket 12. In this embodiment, a tin block 15 is laser welded on the metal bracket 12, and in other embodiments, the tin block 15 may not be provided on the metal bracket 12.

[0047] In some embodiments, the metal bracket 12 is provided with a clearance hole 16, and one, two or more clearance holes 16 can be provided according to actual needs. The provision of the clearance hole 16 can better ensure that the sealant can penetrate smoothly when pouring the sealant, and can increase the flow rate of the sealant.

[0048] In some embodiments, the photovoltaic panel junction box further includes a support column 17, which is connected to the box body 1. In this embodiment, the support column 17 is integrally formed with the box body 1. A through hole 18 is provided on the metal bracket 12, which is used to cooperate with the support column 17. The side of the metal bracket 12 away from the through hole 18 is bent 90° to form a support portion; when the metal bracket 12 is installed, the through hole 18 of the metal bracket 12 passes through the support column 17, the metal bracket 12 abuts against the support column 17, and the support portion abuts against the inner bottom wall of the box body 1. The support portion and the support column 17 support the metal bracket 12, so that the metal bracket 12 can ensure a better horizontal state, so that a larger area can be reserved for welding the cable, so that the welding operation of the cable can be facilitated.

[0049] In some embodiments, at least two support columns 17 are provided in the box body 1. In this embodiment, two support columns 17 are provided, and two through holes 18 are provided along the metal bracket 12 near both ends, corresponding to the two support columns 17 respectively, so that the metal bracket 12 can be supported more stably in cooperation with the support portion, so that the metal bracket 12 can be more stable. In other embodiments, one or more support columns 17 can be provided as needed.

[0050] The implementation principle of a photovoltaic panel junction box in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: when it is necessary to insert a cable, the cable is inserted from the access port 5 and then into the box body 1 through the seal 3. Since the inner diameter of the seal 3 gradually decreases from the side close to the access port 5 to the side away from the access port 5, it can guide the insertion of the cable, so that the cable can be easily inserted into the box body 1.

[0051] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
