Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of micro inverters, in particular to the technical field of installation and removal safety of micro inverters, and specifically refers to a grounding gear used for improving the installation and removal safety of micro inverters. Background Art

[0002] Micro inverters generally refer to inverters with a power of less than or equal to 1000 watts and component-level MPPT in photovoltaic power generation systems. The full name is micro photovoltaic grid-connected inverters. "Micro" is relative to traditional centralized inverters. The traditional photovoltaic inverter method is to connect all the DC power generated by photovoltaic cells under sunlight in series and parallel, and then use an inverter to invert the DC power into AC power and connect it to the grid; micro inverters invert each component. Its advantage is that each component can be independently MPPT controlled, which can greatly improve the overall efficiency, and at the same time avoid the DC high voltage, poor weak light effect, and barrel effect of centralized inverters.

The left and right ends of the hanging piece 3 are vertically provided with hanging holes 4. The photovoltaic power support 5 is also rectangular in shape, also horizontally arranged and arranged along the left-right direction. The photovoltaic power support 5 is vertically provided with mounting holes 6.

[0031] In order to more clearly understand the technical content of the present invention, the following embodiments are given in detail.

[0032] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0033] See also Figure 2 to Figure 4 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, the grounding gear 7 for improving the installation and removal safety of the micro inverter of the present invention is a conductive element and includes a central plate 8 and a tooth 9, wherein:

[0034] The center plate 8 is horizontally arranged, and a fixing hole 10 is vertically arranged on the center plate 8. The tooth member 9 is located outside the outer peripheral side surface of the center plate 8 and is connected to the outer peripheral side surface of the center plate 8. The tooth member 9 protrudes downward from the lower surface of the center plate 8. There are multiple tooth members 9, and the multiple tooth members 9 are horizontally arranged around the center plate 8 and spaced apart from each other.

[0035] The toothed member 9 may protrude upward from the upper surface of the central plate member 8, or may not protrude upward from the upper surface of the central plate member 8, see Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, the tooth member 9 protrudes upward from the upper surface of the central plate member 8 .

[0036] The number of the teeth 9 can be determined as required. The above-mentioned "multiple" means more than 2. Figure 2-3As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, the number of the tooth members 9 is 24.

The utility model is placed under the lower surface of the hanging plate 3 and against the lower surface of the hanging plate 3, and the fixing bolt 11 is screwed into the fixing hole 10 and the threaded hole from bottom to top to fix the utility model to the lower surface of the hanging plate 3. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown; place the hanging piece 3 above the photovoltaic power support 5 and move it downward, so that the tooth 9 rests on the photovoltaic power support 5 to achieve grounding (the photovoltaic power support 5 itself is conductive and grounded), use mounting bolts to vertically penetrate the hanging holes 4 and the mounting holes 6 and tighten the nuts to hang the micro inverter 1 on the photovoltaic power support 5.

[0045] Therefore, by adopting the utility model, by installing the utility model on the hanging sheet, after the micro inverter is hung on the photovoltaic power supply bracket, the utility model can be attached to the photovoltaic power supply bracket to be connected to the ground, which greatly improves the safety of users when installing or disassembling the micro inverter.
