For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0030] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper", "lower", "right" and other directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplified operation, 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 cannot be understood as a limitation of the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the utility model provides a photovoltaic module, which includes: two battery string groups arranged in mirror image, each battery string group includes six battery strings 10 arranged in parallel along a first direction, the electrodes of the three battery strings 10 on one side of each battery string group are opposite to the electrodes of the three battery strings 10 on the other side, and the battery string 10 is composed of a plurality of multi-slice battery sheets connected in series; the ends of the two battery string groups away from each other along the second direction are each connected with an end bus bar 20, each end bus bar 20 is connected to the six battery strings 10 in each battery string group, and the two ends of the jumper 40 are respectively connected to the middle of the two end bus bar 20; a middle bus bar 30 is provided between the two battery string groups, and the middle bus bar 30 includes a first bus bar segment 31 connected to the three battery strings 10 on one side of each battery string group and a second bus bar segment 32 connected to the three battery strings 10 on the other side of each battery string group, and lead ends are provided on the first bus bar segment 31 and the second bus bar segment 32.

[0032] In the present invention, a multi-slice cell refers to three or more small cells that are equally divided from a complete cell, and each small cell is a multi-slice cell. For example, a complete cell is equally divided into four small cells, and each small cell is a four-slice cell. The end bus strap 20, the middle bus strap 30, the jumper 40 and the lead-out terminal are all made of bus straps. The end bus strap 20, the middle bus strap 30 and the jumper 40 transmit the current generated by the battery string 10 to the lead-out terminal, and the lead-out terminal is used to connect to the junction box. The two battery string groups are connected by the end bus strap 20, the middle bus strap 30 and the jumper 40, so that each battery string group includes two groups of three parallel battery strings 10, and the two groups of three parallel battery strings 10 are connected in series, and the two battery string groups are connected in parallel, so that the entire photovoltaic module includes two groups of six parallel battery strings 10, that is, the attached Figure 1 In the photovoltaic module, the six battery strings 10 on the left are connected in parallel, the six battery strings 10 on the right are connected in parallel, and the six battery strings 10 on the left are connected in series with the six battery strings 10 on the right. Compared with the common photovoltaic module in which six battery strings 10 are connected in series to form a battery string group and two battery string groups are connected in parallel, the photovoltaic module provided by the utility model has a reduced current in a single battery string, and can use a copper welding strip with a smaller diameter to transmit current, thereby reducing the use of copper, reducing the production cost of the photovoltaic module, and shortening the current loop, reducing the power loss of the photovoltaic module, and increasing the output power.

[0033] Taking a four-piece battery cell and a two-piece battery cell as an example, the current in the battery string 10 made of a four-piece battery cell and a two-piece battery cell made of a battery cell of the same specification is 1 / 2 of the current in the battery string 10 made of a two-piece battery cell. Therefore, compared with the battery string 10 made of a two-piece battery cell, the cross-sectional area of ​​the copper welding strip required for the battery string 10 made of a four-piece battery cell is reduced by half, and the amount of copper used can be reduced by half. According to the formula P=I 2 ·R, it can be seen that the battery string 10 reduces the power loss by 3 / 4, where P represents power, I represents current, and R represents internal resistance.

[0034] Recombination Figure 4 , Figure 7 In an optional embodiment of the utility model, the photovoltaic module further includes an integrated junction box 50, in which a positive terminal, a negative terminal, a second diode 52 and a third diode 53 are provided, and the lead-out terminal includes a first lead-out terminal 311 and a second lead-out terminal 321, which are respectively connected to the ends of the first busbar segment 31 and the second busbar segment 32 close to each other, and the first lead-out terminal 311 and the second lead-out terminal 321 are connected to the positive terminal and the negative terminal; a lead-out terminal 41 is provided in the middle of the jumper 40, and the second diode 52 is connected to the lead-out terminal 41 and the first lead-out terminal 311, and the third diode 53 is connected to the second lead-out terminal 321 and the lead-out terminal 41. The positive terminal, the negative terminal, the second diode 52 and the third diode 53 are installed in the integrated junction box 50, and the photovoltaic module has a simple structure and is easy to assemble.

[0035] Furthermore, a first diode 51 is further provided in the integrated junction box 50 , and the first diode 51 is connected to the second lead-out terminal 321 and the first lead-out terminal 311 .

[0036] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 8As shown, in another optional embodiment of the utility model, the photovoltaic assembly further includes a positive terminal box 60, a negative terminal box 70 and an intermediate terminal box 80, the positive terminal box 60 is provided with a positive terminal, the negative terminal box 70 is provided with a negative terminal, and the intermediate terminal box 80 is provided with a second diode 52 and a third diode 53; the lead-out terminal includes a first lead-out terminal 311, a second lead-out terminal 321, a third lead-out terminal 312 and a fourth lead-out terminal 322; the first lead-out terminal 311 and the second lead-out terminal 321 are respectively The first lead-out terminal 311 and the second lead-out terminal 321 are connected to the positive terminal and the negative terminal respectively; the third lead-out terminal 312 and the fourth lead-out terminal 322 are respectively connected to the ends of the first busbar segment 31 and the second busbar segment 32 close to each other; the middle of the jumper 40 is also provided with a lead end 41; the second diode 52 is connected to the lead end 41 and the third lead-out terminal 312; the third diode 53 is connected to the fourth lead-out terminal 322 and the lead end 41. In the photovoltaic module array, multiple photovoltaic modules are connected in series or in parallel, and there is a certain distance between the positive terminal box 60 and the negative terminal box 70, which can reduce the use of cables connected to the positive terminal box 60 and the negative terminal box 70.

[0037] Furthermore, the intermediate junction box 80 further includes a first diode 51 , and the first diode 51 is connected to the fourth lead-out terminal 322 and the third lead-out terminal 312 .

[0038] In the present invention, the second diode 52 and the third diode 53 are used to protect the circuit. When part of the battery strings in the photovoltaic module are blocked by shadows or fail to generate electricity, the second diode 52 or the third diode 53 will form a forward bias and conduct, and the current in the photovoltaic module bypasses the battery string 10 blocked by shadows or fails to generate electricity, and the current flows through the second diode 52 or the third diode 53, without affecting the normal power generation of other battery strings 10. The second diode 52 and the third diode 53 are connected in series, and the first diode 51 is connected in parallel with the second diode 52 and the third diode 53. In the photovoltaic array, when all the battery strings 10 in one of the photovoltaic modules cannot work normally and are turned on, if there are only the second diode 52 and the third diode 53 in the photovoltaic module, the current will pass through the second diode 52 and the third diode 53, and the second diode 52 and the third diode 53 will generate heat and cause large power loss. When the first diode 51 is connected, the current will pass through the first diode 5 instead of the second diode 52 and the third diode 53, which can reduce power loss.

[0039] like Figure 6-Figure 9As shown, in another optional embodiment of the utility model, each end bus strap 20, the first bus strap section 31 and the second bus strap section 32 include a thickened section a and a non-thickened section b, the cross-sectional area of ​​the thickened section a is greater than the cross-sectional area of ​​the non-thickened section b, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the lead-out end is greater than or equal to the cross-sectional area of ​​the thickened section a. In the photovoltaic module, the current magnitudes at different positions of the end bus strap 20, the first bus strap section 31 and the second bus strap section 32 are different, so the cross-sectional area requirements of the bus strap are also different, and the lead-out end gathers all the currents in the photovoltaic module. For example, the current magnitude in the end bus strap 20 decreases from the middle to both sides. In order to save the amount of copper used in the bus strap, the cross-sectional area of ​​the end bus strap 20 should decrease from the middle to both sides; in the first bus strap section 31 and the second bus strap section 32, the current of the part closer to the lead-out end connected to the positive and negative terminals in the junction box is larger. Taking into account the processing costs of the end bus strip 20, the first bus strip segment 31, and the second bus strip segment 32, the utility model uses a thickened bus strip to increase the cross-sectional area of ​​the bus strip that transmits a larger current. Preferably, the thickened section a includes at least two layers of superimposed bus strips, and the non-thickened section b is a single layer of bus strips. The thickened section a of the end bus strip 20 is located in the middle area of ​​the end bus strip 20. The thickened sections a of the first bus strip segment 31 and the second bus strip segment 32 are located in the middle area of ​​the first bus strip segment 31 and the second bus strip segment 32, or in the end area where the first bus strip segment 31 and the second bus strip segment 32 are close to each other.

[0040] like Fig.10 As shown, the second photovoltaic module provided by the utility model includes: two battery string groups connected in series, each battery string group includes six battery strings 10 arranged in parallel along a first direction, the electrodes of all the battery strings 10 in the two battery string groups are the same, and the battery strings 10 are composed of a plurality of multi-slice battery sheets connected in series; the ends of the two battery string groups away from each other along the second direction are each connected with an end bus bar 20, each end bus bar 20 is connected to the six battery strings 10 in each battery string group, and the two ends of the jumper 40 are respectively connected to the middle of the two end bus bars 20; a middle bus bar 30 is provided between the two battery string groups, the middle bus bar 30 is connected to all the battery strings 10 in the two battery string groups, and a lead-out terminal is provided on the jumper 40.

[0041] This specification uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the utility model. The above examples are only used to help understand the method and core idea of ​​the utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of ​​the utility model, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the utility model.
