[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0029] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present utility model is not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model claimed, but merely represents some embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0030] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present utility model and the features and technical solutions in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0031] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters indicate similar items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.

[0032] As Figures 1-5 shown, the present embodiment provides a novel photovoltaic optimizer, including a photovoltaic optimizer body 1. A fixing mechanism 2 is arranged at the top of the photovoltaic optimizer body 1, and a connecting component 3 is arranged on the photovoltaic optimizer body 1.

[0033] The fixing mechanism 2 includes a round rod 201, a first semi-cylinder 202, a second semi-cylinder 203, a first semi-screw 204, a second semi-screw 205 and a positioning cap 206. The round rod 201 is fixedly connected to the top of the photovoltaic optimizer body 1. The first semi-cylinder 202 is welded to the top of the round rod 201. The second semi-cylinder 203 is hinged to one end of the top of the first semi-cylinder 202. The first semi-screw 204 and the second semi-screw 205 are respectively welded to the side walls of the first semi-cylinder 202 and the second semi-cylinder 203. The positioning cap 206 is threadedly connected to the outside of the first semi-screw 204 and the second semi-screw 205. The top of the first semi-screw 204 and the bottom of the second semi-screw 205 are in close contact. The length of the first semi-screw 204 is greater than the length of the second semi-screw 205. When in use, the first semi-cylinder 202 and the second semi-cylinder 203 are placed outside the external photovoltaic panel bracket, then the second semi-cylinder 203 is rotated so that the second semi-screw 205 is in contact with the first semi-screw 204, and then the positioning cap 206 is rotated so that the first semi-cylinder 202 and the second semi-cylinder 203 are fixed. At this time, the outer walls of the first semi-cylinder 202 and the second semi-cylinder 203 will be in close contact with the external photovoltaic panel bracket, thereby firmly fixing the photovoltaic optimizer body 1, and further preventing the device from falling and being damaged.

[0034] As Figure 3 shown, the connecting component 3 includes a connection port 301, a cable 302 and a USB interface 303. The connection port 301 is opened at the bottom of the photovoltaic optimizer body 1. The cable 302 is inserted into the inside of the connection port 301. The USB interface 303 is arranged at the top of the photovoltaic optimizer body 1. The number of the connection ports 301 and the cables 302 is several and they are evenly distributed. When in use, the photovoltaic optimizer body 1 can be connected to an external photovoltaic panel through the cable 302, and then data backup can also be carried out through the USB interface 303.

[0035] As Figure 4As shown, anti-slip sleeves 4 are welded on the side walls of the first semi-cylindrical body 202 and the second semi-cylindrical body 203. The anti-slip sleeves 4 are made of anti-slip and wear-resistant materials. When the first semi-cylindrical body 202 and the second semi-cylindrical body 203 are fixed on an external photovoltaic panel support, the anti-slip sleeves 4 can prevent wear between the first semi-cylindrical body 202 and the second semi-cylindrical body 203 and the external photovoltaic panel support, thereby improving the service life of the first semi-cylindrical body 202 and the second semi-cylindrical body 203.

[0036] As Figure 4 shown, a limiting block 5 for preventing the positioning cap 206 from detaching from the first half stud 204 is welded to one end of the first half stud 204. The diameter of the limiting block 5 is larger than the diameter of the positioning cap 206. During use, the limiting block 5 can prevent the positioning cap 206 from directly detaching from the first half stud 204, resulting in the loss of the positioning cap 206, playing a role in protecting the positioning cap 206.

[0037] As Figure 4 shown, limiting rods 6 are welded on the side walls of the first semi-cylindrical body 202 and the second semi-cylindrical body 203. One end of the limiting rod 6 is in close contact with the side wall of the positioning cap 206. During use, the limiting rod 6 can prevent the positioning cap 206 from rotating excessively, resulting in wear between the positioning cap 206 and the first semi-cylindrical body 202 and the second semi-cylindrical body 203, and improving the service life of the first semi-cylindrical body 202, the second semi-cylindrical body 203 and the positioning cap 206.

[0038] As Figure 4 shown, anti-slip grooves 7 are formed on the outer wall of the positioning cap 206. The number of anti-slip grooves 7 is several and they are circumferentially distributed along the axis of the positioning cap 206. When a worker removes the positioning cap 206, the anti-slip grooves 7 can prevent the worker's fingers from slipping on the positioning cap 206, thereby affecting the efficiency of removing the positioning cap 206.

[0039] As Figure 5 shown, a number of heat dissipation holes 8 are formed on the opposite sides of the outer wall of the photovoltaic optimizer body 1. Filter meshes 9 are arranged inside the number of heat dissipation holes 8. When the photovoltaic optimizer body 1 is operating, the heat dissipation holes 8 can timely discharge the heat dissipated by the photovoltaic optimizer body 1, and then the filter meshes 9 can effectively prevent external dust from entering the photovoltaic optimizer body 1, improving the service life of the photovoltaic optimizer body 1.

[0040] Specifically, when the new type of photovoltaic optimizer is in use: place the first semi-cylinder 202 and the second semi-cylinder 203 outside the external photovoltaic panel bracket, then rotate the second semi-cylinder 203 so that the second half stud 205 fits with the first half stud 204, and then rotate the positioning cap 206 until the positioning cap 206 contacts the limiting rod 6. At this time, the first semi-cylinder 202 and the second semi-cylinder 203 are fixed. At this time, the anti-slip groove 7 can prevent slipping when rotating the positioning cap 206. At this time, the anti-slip sleeve 4 can prevent abrasion between the first semi-cylinder 202 and the second semi-cylinder 203 and the external photovoltaic panel bracket, thereby increasing the service life of the first semi-cylinder 202 and the second semi-cylinder 203, and thus firmly fixing the photovoltaic optimizer body 1 to prevent the device from falling and being damaged. After installing the outer wall of the photovoltaic optimizer body 1, the photovoltaic optimizer body 1 can be connected to the external photovoltaic panel through the cable 302, and then data backup can also be performed through the USB interface 303. When the photovoltaic optimizer body 1 is operating, the heat dissipation holes 8 can timely discharge the heat dissipated by the photovoltaic optimizer body 1, and then the filter screen 9 can effectively prevent external dust from entering the photovoltaic optimizer body 1, improving the service life of the photovoltaic optimizer body 1.

[0041] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0042] The above embodiments are the preferred implementation solutions of the present invention. In addition, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious replacement without departing from the concept of the technical solution is within the protection scope of the present invention.
