Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic inverters, and more specifically, relates to a photovoltaic inverter cover module. Background Art
[0002] Under the wave of the global new energy revolution, household photovoltaic inverters, as key equipment for clean energy conversion, are becoming increasingly popular at an alarming rate. Especially in countries and regions with scarce electricity resources, photovoltaic inverters have become a necessity for almost every household, and the huge market demand is self-evident.
[0003] In order to meet this huge market demand, various types of photovoltaic inverter chassis covers have emerged on the market. These cover modules are not only decorations for the appearance of the inverter, but also important carriers of its internal functions. Usually, these cover modules are composed of five core parts: hardware panel, keypad, LCD display screen, signal line and insulation sticker. They each play different roles and work together to ensure the efficient and stable operation of the photovoltaic inverter.
[0004] However, despite the wide variety of photovoltaic inverter cover modules on the market, their designs are relatively simple. Most cover modules use a pure metal panel as the main body, and use screws and other fixings to directly support and lock each component to the metal panel. Although this design method is simple and direct, it has many disadvantages. First, too many fixing screws not only increase production costs, but also reduce production and assembly efficiency. Secondly, when the inverter has wireless communication functions such as WiFi / Bluetooth, the metal chassis will shield and attenuate the antenna signal, affecting the stability and transmission distance of wireless communication. In order to solve this problem, the inverter has to add an external antenna and adapter cable, which undoubtedly further increases the cost and production complexity.
[0005] To this end, the utility model provides a photovoltaic inverter cover module. Utility Model Content
