[0002] The photovoltaic junction box is a connection device between the solar cell array composed of solar cell modules and the solar charging control device. Its main function is to connect and protect solar photovoltaic modules, connect the power generated by solar cells to external lines, and conduct the current generated by photovoltaic modules.

[0003] At present, the mainstream of photovoltaic junction box products is module diode. Because the module diode is encapsulated in epoxy resin, the heat is not easy to dissipate during the junction temperature and thermal runaway test, which easily generates high temperature and causes the diode to fail. During normal use, the module diode may be able to work normally. However, in some special cases, such as shade from trees or foreign objects, the module diode may generate too high a temperature, causing the module diode to burn out.

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the deficiencies in the prior art, it is necessary to design a new axial diode photovoltaic three-part junction box with a simple structure. Utility Model Content

[0007] As a further improvement, a flat square portion is provided in the middle of the bent extension portion, and the flat square portion is connected to the copper plate by welding.

[0008] As a further improvement, a positioning column is provided inside the box body, and the copper plate is clamped and positioned on the positioning column.

[0009] As a further improvement, the bent extension portions are connected to adjacent copper plates by resistance welding.

[0010] As a further improvement, the copper plate is made of red copper and has a thickness of 0.6 mm.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] The bending extension increases the length of the welding point, improves the power-carrying performance, and reduces the internal resistance. The bending extension of the axial diode is located in the middle part, which is directly connected to the photovoltaic busbar. The current carrying effect of the axial diode can be improved by 10%, and the heat dissipation capacity can also be effectively improved. The bending extension is placed under the copper plate, with a larger design area to prevent heat accumulation and help heat dissipation. At the same time, a Z-shaped heat sink with a copper plate on the top and an aluminum plate on the bottom can improve the current carrying capacity, further improve the heat dissipation effect, and can reduce the specifications for use.
