Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic connectors, and specifically relates to a new type of waterproof photovoltaic connector. Background Technique
[0002] Photovoltaics refers to the technology and industry that directly converts sunlight into electrical energy using the photovoltaic effect. Photovoltaic technology is an important part of the renewable energy field and has broad application prospects.
[0003] With the transformation of the global energy structure and the increasingly severe problem of climate change, the development and utilization of renewable energy have become the consensus of the international community. The photovoltaic industry has achieved rapid development in the past few years. At present, photovoltaic power generation systems have been widely used in various fields in our country, and the demand for parts such as connectors is increasing day by day. Photovoltaic connectors provide guarantee for the safe, stable and efficient operation of photovoltaic systems. With the continuous progress of technology, the performance and application scope of connectors will also continue to expand. Most connectors are installed outdoors and have to face various severe environments. At present, the sealing performance at the connection between the male connector and the female connector of the photovoltaic connector is not good, so the waterproof performance is not very good. Moreover, when the male and female connectors are connected at present, the operation is not very convenient. Therefore, we propose a new type of waterproof photovoltaic connector to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0024] Embodiment
[0025] Such as Figure 1-6As shown in the figure, a new type of waterproof photovoltaic connector proposed in an embodiment of the present utility model includes a male connector 1 and a female connector 2 that are adapted to each other. The bottom surface of the male connector 1 is hexagonal. A rubber sleeve 3 is sleeved and fixed at the bottom of the male connector 1. Six column keys 4 are fixedly arranged on the top surface of the female connector 2 in a circumferential array. The top of the female connector 2 is adapted to the bottom of the male connector 1. The male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are connected by a locking rod 5. The locking rod 5 includes a round block 501. A vertical rod 502 is fixed to the top of the round block 501. A cross rod 503 is fixed to the top of the vertical rod 502. First magnet blocks 504 are fixed to both ends of the cross rod 503. Two first through holes 6 adapted to the cross rod 503 and the first magnet blocks 504 are symmetrically formed on the surface of the female connector 2. Two second through holes 7 adapted to the cross rod 503 and the first magnet blocks 504 are symmetrically formed at the bottom of the male connector 1. The positions of the first through holes 6 and the second through holes 7 are arranged corresponding to each other. Round grooves 8 are formed at the tops of the second through holes 7. The diameter of the round grooves 8 is the same as the length of the cross rod 503 plus the lengths of the two first magnet blocks 504. Two second magnet blocks 9 are symmetrically embedded and fixed on the inner wall of the round grooves 8. The connection line of the two corresponding second magnet blocks 9 is set at a right angle to the second through hole 7. The operation process of installing the female connector 2 onto the male connector 1 is as follows: put the female connector 2 on the male connector 1 and align the first through hole 6 with the second through hole 7. Then insert the cross rod 503 through the first through hole 6 and make the cross rod 503 pass through the second through hole 7 and enter the round groove 8. Then rotate the round block 501 by 90 degrees. In this way, the cross rod 503 will block the top of the second through hole 7, and the first magnet blocks 504 at both ends of the cross rod 503 will be adsorbed and fixed to the two second magnet blocks 9 in the round groove 8. Therefore, the female connector 2 and the male connector 1 can be connected and fixed together. And by providing the rubber sleeve 3 on the outer surface of the bottom end of the male connector 1, when the female connector 2 is inserted and combined with the bottom end of the male connector 1, the connection can be made more tightly, so the sealing performance is better, and thus a better waterproof effect can be achieved.
[0026] In some embodiments, grooves 10 adapted to the round block 501 are formed at the bottoms of the first through holes 6 to enable the round block 501 to be embedded into the grooves 10, making it look more beautiful. Pinch blocks 505 are fixed to the bottoms of the round block 501 to facilitate the user to rotate the round block 501. Two card slots 11 for installing a circuit board are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the male connector 1 to facilitate the installation of the circuit board. Anti-corrosion coatings are applied to the surfaces of the male connector 1 and the female connector 2, which can achieve a better anti-corrosion effect, thereby preventing the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 from being damaged by external corrosion, and further extending the service life.
[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
