Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of solar photovoltaic power generation, and more particularly to a junction box suitable for double-glass components. Background Art

[0002] Currently, photovoltaic modules, composed of multiple solar cells, are widely used as the basic photovoltaic power generation unit in various building photovoltaic power generation systems. Transparent thin-film modules are also used as curtain wall materials to create energy-saving and environmentally friendly buildings. To improve power generation efficiency per unit area, various new and efficient photovoltaic module structures are being developed and applied. For example, double-glass modules, bifacial modules, and shingled modules have been developed and are now in commercial use. Double-glass modules require the use of corresponding photovoltaic module junction boxes.

[0003] A photovoltaic module junction box is a connector between a solar photovoltaic module and a solar charging control device, used to output the electricity generated by the solar cells to external power circuits. The junction box typically consists of a box body, wiring terminals located within the box body, and output cables extending into the box body and electrically connected to the wiring terminals. The wiring terminals connect to the solar photovoltaic module's welding ribbons, and the output cables provide external power supply.

[0004] After searching, the utility model patent with Chinese application number CN201720211787.5 discloses a photovoltaic junction box for double-glass modules, including a box body, a box cover, a wiring mechanism arranged in the box cavity, and an output cable led out from the inside of the box cavity. The box body is provided with a card slot at one end in the length direction and corresponding to the bottom of the box body. The box body is provided with through holes on the bottom wall and close to the card slot, the number of which is equivalent to and the position of which is corresponding to the terminal base. The through holes are connected to the card slot. The welding ribbon in the back panel of the photovoltaic module enters the box cavity through the card slot and the through hole and is electrically connected to the conductive connecting piece.

[0005] The box body is installed on the back of the double-glass solar panel by inserting the double-glass solar panel into the inside of the card slot. There are certain differences in the thickness of the double-glass solar panel during the production process. Since the thickness of the card slot is fixed, when the thickness of the produced double-glass solar panel is thicker, it is not convenient to insert the double-glass solar panel into the inside of the card slot. If the thickness of the produced double-glass solar panel is thinner, it is not convenient to clamp the double-glass solar panel inside the card slot, resulting in poor stability of the junction box installed on the double-glass solar panel. Therefore, it is not convenient to install the junction box on double-glass solar panels of different thicknesses, reducing the practicality of its use. Utility Model Content
