[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the utility model discloses a photovoltaic inverter outlet junction box, including a box body 1, a locking device 2 and a bundling structure 3. The box body 1 is installed at the bottom of the inverter and covers the wiring terminals; the locking device 2 is installed on the box body 1 and is used to open the box body 1 for easy maintenance; the bundling structure 3 is arranged inside the box body 1 to facilitate bundling and merging multiple bundles of cables.

[0029] The box body 1 is at least partially made of aluminum alloy. Due to the high strength of aluminum alloy, the box body 1 is not only light but also durable and can effectively resist erosion in harsh outdoor environments.

[0030] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 The box 1 includes a bottom plate 11, an inner plate 12 perpendicularly connected to the bottom plate 11, and a cover 13 connected to the inner plate 12. The cover 13, bottom plate 11, and inner plate 12 form an upper open storage space 10. The open structure facilitates the installation of some cables within the box 1. The bottom plate 11 is provided with a cable outlet 110 for leading the inverter cables out of the junction box.

[0031] See also Figure 1 The cover shell 13 includes an outer plate 131, a first side plate 132 connected to one side of the outer plate 131, and a second side plate 133 connected to the other side of the outer plate 131. The outer plate 131 is arranged opposite to the inner plate 12, and the first side plate 132 and the second side plate 133 are arranged opposite to each other. The first side plate 132 and the second side plate 133 are both vertically connected to the outer plate 131, and the inner plate 12 is vertically connected to the bottom plate 11. The bottom plate 11, the inner plate 12, the outer plate 131, the first side plate 132 and the second side plate 133 together form a rectangular structure with an open upper end.

[0032] See also Figure 1 Along the height direction H of the box body 1, the top of the inner plate 12 is lower than the top of the cover 13. There is a height difference between the inner plate 12 and the cover 13. On the one hand, it is convenient to cooperate with the wiring terminals, cables, etc. at the end of the inverter. On the other hand, the inner plate 12 reduces a part of the height, reduces the wrapping of the wiring terminals, cables, etc., and helps heat dissipation.

[0033] See also Figure 3 The outer plate 131 is provided with an installation opening 130 for installing a transparent plate 134. The transparent plate 134 is installed in the installation opening 130 by means of a rubber strip 14. This arrangement facilitates visually viewing the internal wiring from the outside through the transparent plate 134. Optionally, the transparent plate 134 is a tempered glass or a transparent plastic plate.

[0034] See also Figure 1 The top of the housing 13 is provided with a connecting lug 135 having a through-hole 1351. The junction box is fixedly connected to the inverter via the connecting lug 135. In some embodiments, the first side panel 132 and the outer panel 131 each have at least one connecting lug 135. In other possible embodiments, the first side panel 132, the outer panel 131, and the second side panel 133 each have at least one connecting lug 135.

By providing the extension plate 136, the assembly area of ​​the box 1 and the inverter can be increased and the connection stability can be improved.

[0036] See also Figure 5 The rubber strip 14 includes a main body 141 and a reinforcing rib 142. The main body 141 has a mounting groove 1410, and the reinforcing rib 142 is installed in the mounting groove 1410. The reinforcing rib 142 improves the structural strength of the rubber strip 14. The main body 141 has a first slot 1411 and a second slot 1412. The first slot 1411 is used to install the transparent plate 134. The rubber strip 14 is connected to the outer plate 131 at the mounting opening 130 through the second slot 1412.

[0037] See also Figure 6 In order to increase the stability of the combination of the transparent plate 134 and the outer plate 131 with the rubber strip 14, the inner walls of the first slot 1411 and the second slot 1412 are provided with a plurality of protrusions 1413 to increase the friction between the transparent plate 134 and the outer plate 131 and the rubber strip 14.

[0038] The inner plate 12 is provided with a plurality of rows of heat dissipation holes 121. The heat dissipation holes 121 are oval or circular and are used to dissipate heat to the external environment. Figure 1 , the plurality of heat dissipation holes 121 in each row are arranged at equal intervals, and the plurality of rows of heat dissipation holes 121 are aligned. In other possible embodiments, see Figure 8 The multiple heat dissipation holes 121 in each row are arranged at equal intervals, the multiple rows of heat dissipation holes 121 are staggered, the heat dissipation holes 121 are tilted, and the tilt angles of the heat dissipation holes 121 in two adjacent rows are inconsistent, which is conducive to the layout of more heat dissipation holes 121 in the same area.

[0039] See also Figure 2 and Figure 7 The locking device 2 includes a locking portion 21 and a hook portion 22. The first side panel 132 is rotatably connected to the inner panel 12 through a hinge 15. The locking portion 21 is installed on the second side panel 133, and the hook portion 22 is installed on the inner panel 12. The connection between the cover shell 13 and the inner panel 12 is achieved by buckling the locking portion 21 and the hook portion 22. The cover shell 13 can be opened relative to the inner panel 12 by separating the locking portion 21 and the hook portion 22 for easy maintenance.

[0040] In this embodiment, see Figure 4The bundling structure 3 includes a bundling member 31 and a hook 32 fixed to one end of the bundling member 31. A first hook 1321 is fixed to the first side panel 132, and a second hook 1331 is fixed to the second side panel 133. The end of the bundling member 31 away from the hook 32 is fixed to the first hook 1321, and the hook 32 can be hooked on the second hook 1331. The bundling member 31 is used to bundle cables and is an elastic band-like structure. During use, the bundling member 31 is wrapped around multiple cables at least once, and after being unwound from the cables, the hook 32 is hooked on the second hook 1331.

[0041] In other possible embodiments, two binding members 31 may be provided, with one end of one binding member 31 away from the hook 32 being fixed to the first hook 1321 , and the other end of the other binding member 31 away from the hook 32 being fixed to the second hook 1331 .
