Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic modules, in particular to a waterproof structure for plugs used in photovoltaic modules. Background Technique
[0002] Photovoltaic modules are generally installed outdoors. When transmitting data and converting and supplying electrical energy, plugs are often required to connect the photovoltaic modules. In the prior art, the plugs of most photovoltaic modules are exposed outdoors. When assembling the connecting wires, their sealing performance is generally not good. Therefore, when exposed to rain and snow weather during use, the waterproof effect of the plugs is not good.
[0003] The photovoltaic module plug disclosed in Chinese Patent CN221102565U uses a high-elastic soft rubber sheet to wind around the outside of the mutually attached plug female seat and plug male seat in multiple turns. By stretching and tightening the high-elastic soft rubber sheet, a sealing effect is generated on the outside of the plug female seat and plug male seat through the elastic binding effect of the high-elastic soft rubber sheet, achieving a certain waterproof effect.
[0004] The waterproof plug for photovoltaic modules disclosed in Chinese Patent CN210926480U inserts the plug rod into the jack on the socket, so that the sealing ring gasket adheres to the socket, so that the connection between the plug rod and the socket can be better sealed. Through the arc-shaped elastic long gasket, water can be better prevented from contacting the plug body during use.
[0005] The waterproof plug for photovoltaic modules disclosed in Chinese Patent CN208873970U is provided with a first waterproof plug and a second waterproof plug. The connecting part of the first waterproof plug is provided with an external thread, and the connecting part of the second waterproof plug is provided with an internal thread matching the external thread. A stepped anti-leakage structure is also provided at the tail of the connecting part of the first waterproof plug, and a stepped sealing ring is sleeved outside the stepped anti-leakage structure to achieve a certain waterproof effect.
[0006] However, the sealing effect of the photovoltaic module plugs disclosed in the above patents is limited, especially the waterproof effect under extreme climate conditions is not good. After being damaged, it is easy to cause the photovoltaic module to short-circuit and catch fire, resulting in damage to the photovoltaic module. Utility Model Content

Then, by rotating the protective sleeve, the protective sleeve can be sleeved on the outside of the plug, realizing the sealing of the connecting wire, thereby ensuring the waterproof performance of the plug and ensuring the normal use of the plug in rainy and snowy weather. Rotate the protective sleeve to drive the fixing mechanism to squeeze the rotating plate, and the rotating plate rotates around the rotating shaft.

[0041] An embodiment of the present invention discloses a plug waterproof structure for a photovoltaic module, which is used to solve the problems of limited sealing effect and poor waterproof effect of the existing plug by improving the structure.
[0042] The plug waterproof structure for the photovoltaic module includes a plug 1, a protective sleeve 2, a connecting wire 3, a fixing mechanism 5, a rotating plate 6, a rotating shaft 7, and an extrusion end 8.
[0043] As Figure 1 shown, a protective sleeve 2 is screwed on the outside of the plug 1. The protective sleeve 2 is arranged on the outside of the plug 1 to provide sealing protection for the plug and achieve waterproofing. A connecting wire 3 is arranged inside the protective sleeve 2. One end (connection end) of the connecting wire 3 is inserted into the inside of the plug 1, and the other end is connected to the photovoltaic module.
[0044] A fixing mechanism 5 for fixing the connecting wire 3 is also installed inside the plug 1. A rotating plate 6 is arranged inside the fixing mechanism 5, and a rotating shaft 7 is rotatably connected inside the rotating plate 6. Both ends of the rotating shaft 7 are fixedly connected to the plug 1. An extrusion end 8 is also fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating plate 6.
[0045] An implementation mode of the rotating plate 6, the rotating shaft 7, and the extrusion end 8 is as Figure 5 shown, but not limited to Figure 5As shown in the figure, the structures and shapes of the components can be adjusted according to needs, and the purpose of fixing the connecting wire 3 can be achieved, which can be understood by those skilled in the art.
[0046] During implementation, when the connecting wire 3 is inside the plug 1, the contact part between the plug 1 and the connecting wire 3 is concave downward. A part of the connecting wire 3 is inside the plug 1, and with the cooperation of the fixing mechanism 5 and the protective sleeve 2, the purpose of sealing and waterproofing can be achieved. After installing the fixing mechanism 5, gradually rotate the protective sleeve 2. At this time, the protective sleeve 2 gradually squeezes the fixing mechanism 5, and then the fixing mechanism 5 can squeeze the connecting wire 3. At the same time, the fixing mechanism 5 can squeeze the rotating plate 6, and the rotating plate 6 rotates around the rotating shaft 7. At this time, the lower extrusion end 8 can squeeze the connecting end of the connecting wire 3 to fix the connecting end of the connecting wire 3.

Rotate the protective sleeve 2 to drive the fixing mechanism 5 to squeeze the rotating plate 6, and the rotating plate 6 rotates around the rotating shaft 7. At this time, the lower extrusion end 8 can squeeze the connecting end of the connecting wire 3 to achieve the fixing purpose.

[0049] Based on the solution of Embodiment 1, an improvement is made. The fixing mechanism 5 includes a clamping plate 501, a pressing block 502, a pressing plate 503, and a positioning plate 504, as Figure 3 shown.
[0050] Among them, a pressing block 502 is fixedly connected above the clamping plate 501, and pressing plates 503 distributed left and right are fixedly connected inside it, and positioning plates 504 distributed left and right are also fixedly connected to its bottom. The above-mentioned positioning plate 504 is clamped and connected with the plug 1. A part of the above-mentioned pressing block 502 extends out of the plug 1, so that when the protective sleeve 2 is screwed out of the outside of the plug 1, as Figure 2 shown, the pressing block 502 is exposed, which is convenient for the user to perform the pressing operation, and when the protective sleeve 2 is screwed into the outside of the plug 1, the pressing block 502 is hidden inside the protective sleeve 2.
[0051] Preferably, the fixing mechanism 5 further includes an extrusion block 505. Among them, an extrusion block 505 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the clamping plate 501 for extruding the inserted connecting wire 3.
[0052] Preferably, the waterproof structure for the plug of the photovoltaic module further includes a sealing ring 4, as Figure 4As shown in the figure. Among them, an annular groove is formed on the outer side of the plug 1, and a sealing ring 4 is installed inside the annular groove.
[0053] Preferably, the number of the pressing plates 503 is 2 groups, and circular holes are formed at the bottoms of each group of the pressing plates 503. Moreover, the bottoms of the two groups of the pressing plates 503 distributed left and right are flush. At this time, it can be ensured that the pressing plates 503 stably press the connecting wire 3. When the pressing end 8 moves downward, the bottom of the pressing end 8 can stably press the connecting end of the connecting wire 3, ensuring the stable fixation of the connecting wire 3, and the sealing ring 506 and the connecting wire 3 cooperate to achieve sealing.
[0054] Preferably, one side above the pressing block 502 is arranged as an inclined surface.
[0055] Preferably, the fixing mechanism 5 further includes a sealing ring 506. Among them, the other side of the bottom of the engaging plate 501 is also fixedly connected with a sealing ring 506, and the sealing ring 506 is in sealing connection with the connecting wire 3.
[0056] Preferably, the bottom of the pressing end 8 is arranged in an inclined shape, as Figure 5 shown.
[0057] Preferably, the plug waterproof structure for the photovoltaic module further includes a sealing soft board 9, as Figure 6 、 Figure 7 shown. Among them, the sealing soft board 9 distributed up and down is fixedly connected inside the protective sleeve 2. The sealing soft board 9 is arranged in an inclined shape, and semi-circular grooves are formed on the opposite end faces of the sealing soft boards 9 distributed up and down.
[0058] Preferably, the sealing ring 4 is an O-shaped sealing ring.
[0059] Compared with the prior art, the plug waterproof structure for the photovoltaic module provided by this embodiment has the following beneficial effects:
[0060] 1. When assembling the plug, the connecting wire 3 passes through the protective sleeve 2, and the connecting end of the connecting wire 3 is placed inside the plug 1. After the positioning plate 504 cooperates with the plug 1, the protective sleeve 2 is rotated, and the protective sleeve 2 can be sleeved on the outer side of the plug 1. When the protective sleeve 2 is located on the outer side of the plug 1, the sealing ring 4 arranged on the outer side of the plug 1 and the sealing soft board 9 inside the protective sleeve 2 cooperate to achieve the sealing of the connecting wire 3, thereby ensuring the waterproof performance of the plug and ensuring the normal use of the plug in rainy and snowy weather.
[0061] 2. When the connecting wire 3 is inside the plug 1, the contact part between the plug 1 and the connecting wire 3 is concave downward. At this time, a part of the connecting wire 3 is located therein, and with the cooperation of the fixing mechanism 5, the sealing ring 4 and the sealing soft plate 9, the purpose of sealing and waterproofing can be achieved. The positioning plate 504 is inserted into the plug 1, and thus a certain fixing purpose can be achieved. After the installation of the fixing mechanism 5 is completed, the protective sleeve 2 is gradually rotated. At this time, the protective sleeve 2 gradually presses the fixing mechanism 5, and further enables the fixing mechanism 5 to press the connecting wire 3. At the same time, the pressing block 505 of the fixing mechanism 5 can press the rotating plate 6, and the rotating plate 6 rotates around the rotating shaft 7. At this time, the lower pressing end 8 can press the connecting end of the connecting wire 3 to achieve a further fixing purpose.
[0062] 3. When the connecting wire 3 is inserted into the protective sleeve 2, the sealing soft plate 9 moves along its direction. When the protective sleeve 2 and the outer side of the plug 1 are screwed tightly in a spiral manner, the sealing soft plate 9 is pushed by one end of the plug 1, and the sealing soft plate 9 is slightly pressed to move. The two sealing soft plates 9 move closer together, and further ensure close cooperation with the connecting wire 3 to achieve sealing and waterproofing.
[0063] 4. When the protective sleeve 2 is gradually rotated, the protective sleeve 2 presses the lower pressing block 502. At this time, it can further ensure the close cooperation between the clamping plate 501 and the plug 1. At the same time, the lower part of the pressing plate 503 presses the connecting wire 3 for fixation, and the pressing block 505 presses the rotating plate 6. At this time, the rotating plate 6 drives the pressing end 8 to press the connecting end of the connecting wire 3, so as to achieve the comprehensive fixation of the connecting wire 3 and also play a certain sealing role.
[0064] 5. The bottom of the pressing plate 503 is flat. At this time, it can ensure that the pressing plate 503 stably presses the connecting wire 3. When the pressing end 8 moves downward, the bottom of the pressing end 8 can stably press the connecting end of the connecting wire 3 to ensure the stable fixation of the connecting wire 3, and the sealing ring 506 and the connecting wire 3 cooperate to achieve sealing.
[0065] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above. The above description is exemplary, not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments.
