Description

Technical Field

[0001] This document belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic junction box testing, and specifically relates to a surface weight fixing device for photovoltaic junction box testing. Background Technique

[0002] Currently, in the international standard "Photovoltaic (PV) modules - Design qualification and type approval", IEC61215-2:2021, in the requirements of the thermal cycle test (MQT11), item 4, paragraph 11, thermal cycle test, in sub-item f standard, it is required that "a 5N weight can be connected to the electrical terminal leads of the module".

[0003] It is easy for the weight to fall off when directly connected to the junction box and not easy to fix. Therefore, it is necessary to specifically fix the weight on the surface of the photovoltaic junction box. Currently, most existing photovoltaic junction box fixing weights use steel wires or strings to tie the weights, and the weights are prone to falling off during the test, posing a risk of damaging the module and the test chamber.

[0004] Existing junction box fixing devices have some disadvantages, such as:

[0005] 1. Using internal hexagon screws for fixing is not easy to operate in the test chamber, with a slow speed and affecting efficiency.

[0006] 2. In the reference junction box fixing device, the photovoltaic module is placed horizontally, the junction box is horizontally upward, and the force direction of the fixing device is horizontally inclined. While in the test chamber, the photovoltaic module is placed vertically, the junction box is vertically to the left or right, and the force direction of the fixing device is vertical, making the fixing device prone to falling off. Content of the Utility Model

[0007] To solve the above problems, this paper proposes a surface weight fixing device for photovoltaic junction box testing. The weight fixing device is arranged on the outside of the junction box. The weight fixing device includes a substrate, a fixed slider, a sliding screw, a locking pressing piece, and a quick-release pressing handle. The substrate is in the shape of a rectangular plate. A fixing ring is vertically and perpendicularly arranged at the center of the front surface of the substrate. Through slots are provided on the left and right ends and the upper middle part of the surface of the substrate. A sliding screw is provided through the inside of the through slot. The rear end of the sliding screw is fixedly connected to the fixed slider, and the front end of the sliding screw is threadedly connected with a quick-release pressing handle. The quick-release pressing handle is arranged on the front surface of the substrate, and a locking pressing piece is arranged between the quick-release pressing handle and the substrate. The fixed slider is arranged on the rear surface of the substrate, and the junction box is externally wrapped and fixed between the fixed sliders at the left and right ends and the upper side. By using an externally clamped weight fixing device, the fixing of the weight fixing device on the outside of the junction box can be completed without damaging the junction box. Moreover, the weight fixing device can conveniently adapt to junction boxes of different sizes from different manufacturers, models, and sizes through the through slots. By adjusting the position of the fixed pressing block through the through slots, the junction box can be locked to ensure the stability of the fixed weight device. The junction box of the component can be conveniently suspended with weights at any angle.

[0008] The substrate is in the shape of a horizontal rectangular plate. A fixing ring is integrally and fixedly arranged in the middle of the front surface of the substrate. The rear surface of the substrate is mutually attached and connected to the front surface of the junction box. The fixing ring is in the shape of a longitudinally arranged hoisting ear ring, and a lifting rope is fixedly tied inside the fixing ring. A weight is vertically and perpendicularly arranged at the bottom of the lifting rope. The substrate with through slots can conveniently enable the fixed slider to be set on the rear surface of the substrate based on a reference, and the fixing ring fixedly arranged on the front surface of the substrate can also conveniently suspend the weight at various angles.

[0009] The through slot is in the shape of a strip slot. Two groups of through slots at the left and right ends are symmetrically arranged left and right based on the vertical center line of the substrate, and two through slots are horizontally parallel up and down at the left and right ends. The through slot on the upper middle part is vertically symmetric left and right based on the vertical center line of the substrate, and two through slots are vertically parallel left and right on the upper middle part. By adjusting the position of the fixed pressing block through the through slots, the junction box can be locked, which is convenient for adjusting and adapting to junction boxes of different manufacturers, models, and sizes.

[0010] The shape of the fixed slider is a rectangular block. The front surface of the fixed slider is fixedly connected to the sliding screw. The opposite inner surfaces of the fixed slider are fitted and connected to the junction box. The fixed sliders on the back of the sliding grooves at both left and right ends are vertically and parallelly arranged at both ends behind the substrate. The fixed slider on the back of the sliding groove at the upper side in the middle is horizontally arranged at the upper side behind the substrate. By using the fixed sliders on three sides to fix the junction box, the stability of the fixed weight device is ensured, and the component junction box can hang weights at any angle.

[0011] The sliding screw is a cylindrical rod with threads on the outside. The diameter of the sliding screw is smaller than the width of the sliding groove. A locking pressing piece is pluggably arranged on the outside of the front end of the sliding screw. By means of the sliding screw, not only can the fixed slider slide based on the sliding groove, but also the rotation and tightening of the quick-release pressing handle can be facilitated, thereby improving the overall fixing strength of the fixed slider.

[0012] The locking pressing piece is a rigid rectangular hard board. Through holes are symmetrically and flushly arranged on the surface of the locking pressing piece. The diameter of the through holes is larger than the outer diameter of the sliding screw. The center distance of the through holes is the same as the distance between the opposite sliding grooves. The quick-release pressing handle is a threaded rotation and telescopic handle. A rotating screw head is arranged at the end of the quick-release pressing handle. The shape of the rotating screw head is oval. The rotating screw head is threadedly connected to the sliding screw. A handle is vertically arranged on the outside of the short side of the rotating screw head. Through the cooperation of the locking pressing piece and the quick-release pressing handle, after the quick-release pressing handle is pressed down, the adjacent two quick-release pressing handles can be tensioned and fixed based on the substrate together, thereby realizing the tensioning and fixing of the fixed slider, and ensuring the pressing and fixing of the fixed slider to the junction box.

[0013] The junction box is horizontally fixedly connected and arranged at the joint of the photovoltaic panels.

[0014] Beneficial effects:

[0015] By using an external clamping type weight fixing device, the fixing of the weight fixing device on the outside of the junction box can be completed without damaging the junction box. And the weight fixing device can conveniently adapt to junction boxes of various different sizes from different manufacturers, different models through the sliding grooves, and adjust the position of the fixed pressing block through the sliding grooves to lock the junction box, ensuring the stability of the fixed weight device. The component junction box can conveniently hang weights at any angle.

[0016] The substrate with sliding grooves can conveniently enable the fixed slider to be arranged on the back of the substrate based on a reference, and the fixed ring fixedly arranged on the front surface of the substrate can also conveniently hang weights at various angles.

[0017] Adjust the position of the fixed pressing block through the sliding groove to lock the junction box, which is convenient for adjusting and adapting to junction boxes of different manufacturers, models, and sizes.

[0018] Fix the junction box by using the fixed sliders on three sides to ensure the stability of the fixed weight device, and the component junction box can hang weights at any angle.

[0019] By sliding the screw rod, not only can the fixed slider slide based on the sliding groove, but also it is convenient for the quick-release pressing handle to rotate and tighten, thereby improving the overall fixing strength of the fixed slider.

[0020] Through the cooperation of the locking pressing piece and the quick-release pressing handle, after the quick-release pressing handle is pressed down, the adjacent two quick-release pressing handles can be tensioned and fixed based on the substrate together, thereby realizing the tensioning and fixing of the fixed slider, and ensuring the pressing and fixing of the fixed slider on the junction box.
