[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. The utility model adopts the arrangement of structures such as snaps and L-shaped reinforcement ribs. The inner cavity composed of the L-shaped reinforcement ribs is designed with a glue overflow port. When the module factory installs the photovoltaic junction box and fills the thermal conductive sealant, it is filled flush with the port, and the excess glue can overflow from the two ports into the closed cavity. This design can reinforce the box body and reduce the use of sealant. It can also store excess glue during installation and reduce the complexity of installation. By arranging the snaps on both sides of the inner wall of the box body, a demoulding space is reserved, so that the box body can be easily demoulded after injection molding, which solves the problem that the previous snaps are located on the upper cover side of the junction box. When the box body is demoulded after injection molding, the corresponding side of the bottom of the snap is required to be empty to complete the demoulding. If the position of the snap is not adjusted, the junction box after miniaturization design cannot reserve a demoulding space.
[0015] 2. The utility model has thinned the upper edge of the inner wall of the box body on the basis of accurate measurement of the creepage distance and on the basis of meeting the creepage distance requirements of UL / TUV certification. This is conducive to reducing the consumption of raw materials for the junction box, increasing the design of through holes and recesses, and improving the flow channel of the sealant, so that the sealant can have more complete contact with the component modules in the junction box to improve heat dissipation. When the thickness of the insulation layer of the TUV / UL dual-certified cable exceeds that of the TUV single-certified cable, the utility model can manually replace the buckle and is compatible with single / dual-certified cables without the need for other design changes, thereby improving the convenience of the device.

An inner cavity composed of a plurality of L-shaped reinforcing ribs is designed. When the component factory installs the photovoltaic junction box and fills the thermal conductive sealant, it is filled until it is flush with this opening, and excess glue can overflow from these two openings into the closed cavity. This design can, on the one hand, reinforce the box body, and on the other hand, reduce the amount of sealant used, and can also store excess glue during installation, thereby reducing the complexity of installation.

The left box body 3, the middle box body 4 and the right box body 5 are internally fixedly connected with multiple photovoltaic module locking structures 2 306, photovoltaic module locking structures 3 406 and photovoltaic module locking structures 1 506. The anti-foolproofing mechanisms and photovoltaic module locking structures play a good anti-foolproofing role.
[0027] See also Figure 1-7, the bottom of the left box body 3, the middle box body 4 and the right box body 5 are all provided with two through holes 2 308, through holes 3 408 and through holes 1 508. The through holes are added to improve the flow channel of the sealant so that the sealant can be in more complete contact with the component modules in the junction box to improve heat dissipation. Both sides of the through holes 2 308, the through holes 3 408 and the through holes 1 508 are provided with recesses 2 313, recesses 3 413 and recesses 1 513. The design of the recesses provides additional flow channels for the sealant on both sides to flow to the bus bar and the bottom of the module. The bottom of the left box body 3, the middle box body 4 and the right box body 5 are all provided with two bus bar guide channels 2 310, bus bar guide channels 3 410 and bus bar guide channels 1 510, which are convenient for welding and reinforcement with the photovoltaic module from here. The four corners of the bottom of the left box body 3, the middle box body 4 and the right box body 5 are The glue is used to stick boss 2 309, boss 3 409 and boss 1 509. When the junction box is stuck on the photovoltaic module with glue, the height of the boss can ensure the flatness and glue amount of the photovoltaic junction box. The design of the annular groove is conducive to more firm sticking. The left box body 3, the middle box body 4 and the right box body 5 are all provided with direction marks 2 307, direction marks 3 407 and direction marks 1 507 on one side of the bottom. The bottom of the left box body 3 is in the shape of an "L", the bottom of the middle box body 4 is in the shape of an "M", and the bottom of the right box body 5 is in the shape of an "R". The main function of this design is to prevent fooling around. A photovoltaic cable 1 2 is installed on one side of the left box body 3, a photovoltaic connector 1 is installed on one side of the photovoltaic cable 2, a photovoltaic cable 2 200 is installed on the other side of the right box body 5, and a photovoltaic connector 2 100 is installed on the other side of the photovoltaic cable 200.
[0028] The specific implementation process of the utility model is as follows: correctly assemble the left box body 3, the middle box body 4 and the right box body 5 together according to the direction marked on the bottom, ensure that "L" corresponds to the left box body 3, "M" corresponds to the middle box body 4, and "R" corresponds to the right box body 5, connect the photovoltaic cables to the left box body 3 and the right box body 5 respectively, and ensure that the photovoltaic connector is firmly installed, use glue to stick the bosses at the four corners of the bottom of the junction box on the photovoltaic module, ensure that the flatness and amount of glue of the junction box are appropriate, and the annular groove design will enhance the firmness of the sticking, and use the anti-fool mechanism fixed inside the box body and the photovoltaic module locking structure to firmly install the photovoltaic module inside the junction box;
[0029] Furthermore, when installing the photovoltaic junction box, it is necessary to pour thermal conductive sealant. When pouring, the glue should be poured to be flush with the overflow port on the L-shaped reinforcement rib. Excess glue will overflow from the overflow port into the closed cavity, which not only strengthens the box body but also reduces the amount of sealant. The through-hole design at the bottom of the junction box improves the flow channel of the sealant, so that the sealant can be more fully in contact with the component module in the junction box, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect. Through the busbar guide channel opened at the bottom, it can be conveniently welded and reinforced with the photovoltaic module to ensure the stability of the connection;
[0030] In addition, when the photovoltaic junction box leaves the factory, it needs to be pre-installed with photovoltaic cables and photovoltaic connectors. The insulation layer thickness of UL-certified photovoltaic cables is relatively thick and the cables are relatively thick. When the whole set of photovoltaic junction box products is to meet UL certification requirements, it is necessary to replace them with UL-certified cables. The photovoltaic junction box designed by the present invention only needs to replace the clips at the arrows, that is, replace them with 6.4-specification clips. There is no need to make any changes to the junction box itself, which easily realizes the compatibility of the whole set of products with TUV and UL dual certifications.
[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
