[0002] The photovoltaic junction box is a connection device between the solar cell array composed of solar cell modules and the solar charging control device. Its main function is to connect and protect solar photovoltaic modules, connect the power generated by solar cells to external circuits, and conduct the current generated by photovoltaic modules.

[0003] Currently, the mainstream use of module diodes in photovoltaic junction boxes is in epoxy resin. This makes it difficult for heat to dissipate during junction temperature and thermal runaway testing, leading to high temperatures and diode failure. Under normal use, module diodes may function normally. However, in certain circumstances, such as shade from trees or foreign objects, the module diodes may overheat and burn out.

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the deficiencies in the prior art, it is necessary to design a photovoltaic three-part junction box with a simple structure and a heat dissipation structure. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: A photovoltaic three-part junction box with a heat dissipation structure includes: a shell, a diode, a conductive heat-conducting sheet, a metal heat sink and a cable, a positioning column is provided inside the shell, the conductive heat-conducting sheet is snap-fitted and positioned on the positioning column, a downward-through channel is provided inside the positioning column, the two ends of the diode are connected to the respective adjacent conductive heat-conducting sheets, the lower end of the conductive heat-conducting sheet is connected with a wing span, the metal heat sink includes a top sheet, a guide sleeve and a guide rod, the guide sleeve is fixed to the lower end of the top sheet and is sleeved on the positioning column, the guide rod is fixed to the lower end of the top sheet and is located inside the guide sleeve, the guide rod passes through the channel to the lower end surface of the shell, the cable is connected to the conductive heat-conducting sheet on the left, and the bottom of the shell is provided with an inwardly connected glue pouring guide groove.

[0007] As a further improvement, a groove having a diameter larger than that of the channel and connected thereto is provided at the bottom of the shell, a heat dissipation disc is fixed in the groove, and the upper end of the heat dissipation disc is in contact with the guide rod.

[0008] As a further improvement, a tapered guide portion is provided at the upper end of the positioning column.

[0009] As a further improvement, the positioning posts and guide sleeves are symmetrically arranged in four groups.

[0010] As a further improvement, the top sheet includes a left top sheet, a right top sheet and a connecting sheet, the connecting sheet is connected between the left top sheet and the right top sheet, the left top sheet is fixed to the upper end of the left guide sleeve, and the right top sheet is fixed to the upper end of the right guide sleeve.

[0011] Compared with the existing technology, the photovoltaic three-part junction box with heat dissipation structure of the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] The heat generated by the diode is transferred to the conductive heat conductive sheet. The conductive heat conductive sheet and the wing spans on both sides of it greatly increase the heat conduction area. On the one hand, the conductive heat conductive sheet dissipates part of the heat outward through the thermal conductive silicone and the shell. On the other hand, the heat is first transferred to the metal guide sleeve, and then through the metal top sheet and the metal guide rod to conduct heat outward. The material of the metal heat sink increases the heat dissipation speed, thereby ensuring rapid heat conduction of the diode and better use effect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
