[0002] In solar photovoltaic panels, the photovoltaic panel junction box is an important part of the solar cell assembly. The photovoltaic panel junction box includes an integrated photovoltaic panel junction box and a split photovoltaic panel junction box. When in use, both need to be fixed on the photovoltaic panel assembly and sealed and fixed by injecting sealant. The photovoltaic panel junction box contains a core component, the diode, which is an electronic component that conducts unidirectional current. The diode is the part of the entire component that is most likely to heat up, and therefore is also easily damaged.

[0003] In some photovoltaic panel junction boxes, the diode is fixed inside the junction box. Since the interior is cast with sealant, it is difficult to replace the diode when it is damaged. The entire photovoltaic panel junction box needs to be replaced, resulting in high replacement costs when the diode is damaged.

[0004] Therefore, how to reduce the replacement cost when the diode is damaged is a problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0036] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.

[0037] The present application embodiment discloses a photovoltaic panel junction box. Figure 1The photovoltaic panel junction box includes a box body 1, a cover plate 2, a diode 3 and a mounting shell 4. The box body 1, the cover plate 2 and the mounting shell 4 are all made of plastic. The cover plate 2 is used to cover the box body 1. In this embodiment, the cover plate 2 and the box body 1 are fixed by snapping. The box body 1 is provided with a plug-in interface 9 for achieving electrical conduction between the diode 3 and the inside of the box body 1; the mounting shell 4 is used to install the diode 3. The box body 1 and the mounting shell 4 are detachably connected, so that when the diode 3 is damaged, the mounting shell 4 can be directly disassembled and replaced. The box body 1 does not need to be disassembled and replaced, which can reduce the replacement cost of the diode 3 when it is damaged, and the cost includes labor cost, money cost, etc.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, both sides of the mounting shell 4 are connected with connecting ears 5, which are used to connect with the box body 1. The connecting ears 5 are provided with card interfaces 6. Both sides of the box body 1 are connected with card blocks 7. When the mounting shell 4 is mounted on the box body 1, the card blocks 7 are carded with the card interfaces 6, which means that the card blocks 7 are inserted into the card interfaces 6 and carded with the connecting ears 5. This makes it easy to fix the mounting shell 4 and the box body 1, and when disassembling, since the mounting shell 4 is made of plastic and has elastic deformation ability, it is only necessary to pry the connecting ears 5 away from the box body 1 to remove the mounting shell 4 from the box body 1. In other embodiments, the mounting shell 4 and the box body 1 can be detachably connected by screwing or other methods.

[0039] In some embodiments, the clamping block 7 gradually thickens from the side close to the plug interface 9 to the side away from the plug interface 9. This allows the connecting ear 5 to be guided along the direction of the thickness increase of the clamping piece, so that the connecting ear 5 can move more smoothly along the clamping piece, allowing the clamping piece to be inserted into the clamping interface 6. The end of the connecting ear 5 away from the mounting shell 4 is cut to form a guide portion 8. The guide portion 8 guides the connecting ear 5 when it slides along the clamping piece, allowing the connecting ear 5 to move more smoothly along the clamping piece, allowing the clamping piece to enter the clamping interface 6. The clamping block 7 and the guide portion 8 can cooperate with each other to achieve mutual guidance, so that the clamping block 7 can be inserted into the clamping interface 6 more smoothly and accurately.

[0040] Continue to refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, the diode 3 and the mounting shell 4 are detachably connected. When the diode 3 needs to be replaced, only the diode 3 can be removed for replacement. In some embodiments, the diode 3 and the mounting shell 4 are fixed by glue pouring. The glue pouring is interpreted as pouring sealant. The glue pouring can also play a waterproof role. Even if the diode 3 and the mounting shell 4 are fixed, when the diode 3 is replaced, the mounting shell 4 is directly replaced. Replacing only the mounting shell 4 can also save costs.

[0041] The photovoltaic panel junction box also includes two metal brackets 10 and two metal connectors 11. The metal connectors 11 and the metal brackets 10 are arranged one by one. The two metal brackets 10 are arranged in the box body 1 at intervals, and one end of each metal bracket 10 extends out of the plug interface 9. The metal bracket 10 extends out of the plug interface 9 to connect with the metal connector 11 to achieve electrical conduction with the diode 3. In this embodiment, a mounting column 12 is arranged in the box body 1. One metal bracket 10 corresponds to multiple mounting columns 12. The number of mounting columns 12 is set according to the size of the metal bracket 10. The metal bracket 10 is plugged into the mounting column 12 to achieve the fixation of the metal bracket 10.

[0042] The two ends of the diode 3 are respectively connected to two metal connectors 11 and installed in the mounting shell 4. The metal connector 11 is used to fix the diode 3 in the mounting shell 4. When the mounting shell 4 is connected to the box body 1, the metal connector 11 extends into the plug-in port 9 and connects with the metal bracket 10 to achieve electrical conduction between the metal connector 11 and the metal bracket 10. In some embodiments, the metal connectors 11 are provided with abutment grooves 13, and the diode 3 is placed in the metal connector 11. At this time, the two ends of the diode 3 extend into the abutment grooves 13 and abut against the wall of the metal connector 11 corresponding to the abutment grooves 13, so that the diode 3 can be electrically connected to the metal connector 11 and the diode 3 can be fixed.

[0043] In some embodiments, the metal connector 11 is provided with an insertion port 14 , and the insertion port 14 is used to connect with the metal bracket 10 , so that the metal connector 11 can be stably connected with the metal bracket 10 .

[0044] Reference Figure 3 When the mounting shell 4 is installed on the box body 1, the metal bracket 10 is inserted into the insertion port 14 and snapped into the metal connector 11. The snapping method can not only achieve electrical conduction between the metal bracket 10 and the metal connector 11, but also fix the metal connector 11 on the metal bracket 10, so that the diode 3 can be fixed more stably, and the connection between the metal connector 11 and the metal bracket 10 can be more stable, thereby achieving more stable electrical conduction.

[0045] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, the mounting shell 4 is provided with snap-fit ​​strips 15 at intervals along the inner wall surface. In this embodiment, two snap-fit ​​strips 15 are provided at intervals on the four inner side walls of the mounting shell 4. In other embodiments, the number of snap-fit ​​strips 15 can be set according to actual conditions. The metal connector 11 is inserted into the mounting shell 4 and snap-fitted with the snap-fit ​​strips 15, so that the metal connector 11 can be fixed to the mounting shell 4, and the diode 3 can also be fixed in the mounting shell 4. When the diode 3 needs to be removed, the metal connector 11 only needs to be pulled out from the mounting shell 4.

[0046] Reference Figure 5 The photovoltaic panel junction box also includes an isolating member 16, which is installed on the plug-in port 9 and one end of which abuts against the metal bracket 10. The lower end of the isolating member 16 abuts against the metal bracket 10, and can seal the plug-in port 9, so that when the glue is poured, the glue is prevented from flowing out of the plug-in port 9 as much as possible. In some embodiments, the mounting shell 4 is provided with a positioning groove 17, and a positioning block 18 is connected to the side of the isolating member 16 facing away from the box body 1. In this embodiment, the positioning block 18 and the isolating member 16 are integrally formed. When the mounting shell 4 is mounted on the box body 1, the positioning block 18 is inserted into the positioning groove 17 to position the mounting shell 4 and the box body 1, so that the metal connector 11 can be more accurately inserted into the metal frame, making the connection between the mounting shell 4 and the box body 1 more stable.

[0047] In some embodiments, a fixing column 19 is connected inside the box body 1, and a gap is left between the fixing column 19 and the inner wall surface of the box body 1 where the plug-in port 9 is opened. The plug-in port 9 passes through the upper side of the box body 1, and the isolating member 16 is connected to a fixing rod 20. In this embodiment, the fixing rod 20 and the isolating member 16 are integrally formed. When the isolating member 16 is installed in the box body 1, the isolating member 16 is inserted along the plug-in port 9, and the fixing rod 20 is inserted between the fixing column 19 and the box body 1, and is mutually engaged with the box body 1 and the fixing column 19, so that the isolating member 16 can be conveniently and stably fixed.

[0048] In some embodiments, at least two fixing columns 19 and fixing rods 20 are provided. In this embodiment, two fixing columns 19 and two fixing rods 20 are provided. The fixing columns 19 are respectively provided on two opposite walls of the box body 1, and the fixing rods 20 are provided at both ends of the isolation member 16, so that the isolation member 16 can be fixed more stably. The fixing columns 19 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the box body 1, and the fixing rods 20 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the isolation member 16. The fixing columns 19 and the fixing rods 20 are arranged one by one. In other embodiments, multiple fixing columns 19 can be arranged at intervals along the width direction of the box body 1, such as fixing columns 19 are also provided between metal connectors 11 and other positions.

[0049] The implementation principle of a photovoltaic panel junction box in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: the metal bracket 10 and the bracket connecting frame are used to achieve electrical conduction at both ends of the diode 3, and the isolation piece 16 is used to isolate the inside and outside of the box body 1, so that when glue is poured into the box body 1, the glue will not flow out from the plug interface 9; during installation, the two metal connectors 11 are connected to the two ends of the diode 3, installed in the installation shell 4, and then installed between the installation shell 4 and the box body 1. Since the installation shell 4 and the box body 1 are detachably connected, when the diode 3 is damaged, it is only necessary to remove the installation shell 4 and replace the diode 3 without disassembling the box body 1, thereby reducing the replacement cost of the diode 3 during damage.

[0050] 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.
