The present utility model provides the following embodiments.

[0026] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, it is a schematic structural diagram of the protection structure of the outdoor photovoltaic cable in this embodiment. The protection structure in this embodiment includes a protective cover 1. The protective cover 1 is cylindrical. The protective cover 1 is located on one side of the photovoltaic panel body 2. The protective cover 1 is used to protect the connection part of the photovoltaic cable, preventing external rainwater and impurities from directly falling into the gap of the connection part.

The two threaded limiting rods 15 are passed through the support plate 18, so that the support plate 18 abuts against one side of the limiting piece 14, and then the two fastening sleeves 16 are tightened, thereby using the support plate 18 to support and fix the photovoltaic cable body 5, ensuring that the bent part of the cable is in a straight state, avoiding damage to the photovoltaic cable due to long-term bending, and improving the service life of the photovoltaic cable.

[0029] It should be noted that the fixing rod 13, the limiting piece 14, the threaded limiting rod 15 and the fastening sleeve 16 in this embodiment form an anti-bending assembly, and the anti-bending assembly is used to straighten the bent part of the photovoltaic cable.

[0030] As Figure 4 shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the support plate 18 is located on one side of the protective cover 1. The threaded limiting rod 15 penetrates through the support plate 18. By screwing the fastening sleeve 16, the support plate 18 can be pressed against the limiting piece 14. The shape of the connecting sleeve 9 is rectangular, and the two movable plates 7 are symmetrically arranged.

[0031] As Figure 1 shown in the figure, in this embodiment, traction ropes 21 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two movable plates 7 away from each other. One end of the traction rope 21 is provided with a pull-out plate 22, and the pull-out plate 22 is used to quickly remove the protective cover 1 and the cable connector 4.

[0032] As Figure 5 shown in the figure, in this embodiment, an insertion seat 19 is provided on one side surface of the photovoltaic panel body 2. The insertion seat 19 is annular. A sealing groove is provided on one side surface of the insertion seat 19, and a sealing ring 20 is arranged in the sealing groove.
