Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.

[0026] Referring to the attached Figure 1 As shown, the embodiments of the present application provide a new type of photovoltaic module junction box, which includes a box body 1 and a box cover 2. The box cover 2 seals the box body 1. A heat dissipation window 3 is provided on the side wall of the box body 1, and a shielding buckle plate 4 is provided outside the heat dissipation window 3. The shielding buckle plate 4 has a closed design on all sides except for the open bottom surface. This design can not only achieve heat dissipation but also facilitate the handling and extraction of the junction box.
[0027] In an exemplary embodiment, to integrate the box cover 2 and the box body 1, refer toFigure 1 As shown, the top surface of the box body 1 is provided with jacks 101, and the jacks 101 are located at the four corner points of the box body 1. The bottom surface of the box cover 2 is provided with V-shaped insertion blocks 201 that expand outward. The V-shaped insertion blocks 201 correspond to the jacks 101 one by one, and the V-shaped insertion blocks 201 can converge inward under pressure. When the box cover 2 is buckled onto the box body 1, the V-shaped insertion blocks 201 are inserted into the jacks 101 and converge due to being squeezed by the jacks 101. At the same time, the converging V-shaped insertion blocks 201 have a tendency to reset outward and are tightened in the jacks 101 so that the box cover 2 and the box body 1 are plugged and fixed. In this way, it is convenient to disassemble and assemble the junction box, thus facilitating the replacement of the breakdown voltage-resistant diode 10.
[0028] Refer to the above for Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a partition 5 is arranged inside the box body 1. The partition 5 encloses an installation cavity inside the box body 1. The inner bottom surface of the installation cavity is provided with a pedestal 11, and the circuit board 6 is fixedly arranged on the pedestal 11. The circuit board 6 is arranged above the box body 1 through the pedestal 11 and does not contact the bottom surface of the installation cavity, so that the circuit board 6 can dissipate heat better. In order to realize the heat dissipation of the circuit board 6, a detachable heat sink 7 is arranged on the circuit board 6, and the heat sink 7 takes away the heat generated by the heat dissipation substrate 6. At the same time, in order to realize the outward heat dissipation of the installation cavity, the partition 5 is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes 8. The heat dissipation holes 8 and the heat dissipation window 3 conduct the outside and the inside of the junction box, realizing the outward heat dissipation of the inside of the junction box. And, a cover plate 9 is arranged at the top of the installation cavity, and the cover plate 9 seals the installation cavity, protecting the heat sink 7 by using the partition 5 and the cover plate 9 to prevent the staff from accidentally touching it, and taking heat dissipation into account. An installation platform is arranged on the heat sink 7, and a voltage-resistant diode 10 is arranged on the installation platform. The voltage-resistant diode 10 is electrically connected to the circuit board. Compared with ordinary diodes, by arranging the voltage-resistant diode 10, the risk of breakdown can be reduced, thereby reducing the maintenance frequency of the new photovoltaic module junction box.
[0029] In the above, for realizing the detachable connection between the heat sink 7 and the circuit board 6, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a pair of jacks for installing the heat sink 7 are arranged on the circuit board 6. The bottom of the heat sink 7 is provided with installation legs 12, and the installation legs 12 are inserted into the jacks. An anti-release buckle is arranged on the installation legs to prevent the heat sink 7 from being separated from the circuit board 6 under non-external force. Specifically, as Figure 4As shown, the anti-disengagement mechanism includes a spring pin 13 that can pop outwards from the outside of the mounting leg 12. A counterbore 14 for mounting the spring pin 13 is provided on the side wall of the mounting leg 12. When the mounting leg 12 is inserted into the jack, the spring pin 13 is pressed into the counterbore 14. After the mounting leg 12 is completely inserted into the jack, the spring pin 13 is located below the bottom surface of the circuit board 6, and thus pops out of the counterbore 14 to prevent the mounting leg 12 from disengaging from the circuit board 6 without reason. Thus, based on the structural design of the jack, the mounting leg 12, and the anti-disengagement mechanism, the quick insertion and removal installation between the heat sink 7 and the circuit board 6 can be realized, which is very convenient.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment, in order to improve the heat dissipation effect, as Figure 1 shown, slender heat dissipation rib fins 701 are provided on the outer periphery of the heat sink 7. Through the heat dissipation rib fins 701, it is helpful to improve the heat dissipation effect.
[0031] Of course, in an exemplary embodiment, for the convenience of installing the partition 5 and the cover plate 9, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, an ear plate is integrally formed on the outer edge of the top surface of the partition 5. A slot 501 is provided on the surface of the ear plate. The slot 501 has a circular cavity and a constricted socket. An insertion buckle 901 corresponding to the slot 501 one by one is integrally formed on the outer edge of the bottom surface of the cover plate 9. The cover plate 9 and the partition 5 are fixedly connected to each other by buckling the slot 501 and the insertion buckle 901.
[0032] In summary, the novel photovoltaic module junction box provided by the embodiment of the present application uses a partition to enclose an installation cavity in the junction box for placing the heat sink and the circuit board, and is encapsulated by a cover plate, thereby forming protection for the heat sink and the circuit board. While preventing accidental contact by the staff, it still ensures good heat dissipation performance of the junction box, and the fixing structures between the box body and the box cover, and between the cover plate and the partition are convenient for disassembly and assembly, facilitating daily maintenance of the circuit board.
[0033] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
