[0046] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0047] Please see Figures 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a photovoltaic transformer box that facilitates later inspection, including a photovoltaic transformer box shell 1, the photovoltaic transformer box shell 1 including: a main frame 11, a bottom sheet metal part 12, a top sheet metal part 13, a box door sheet metal part 14, a back sheet metal part 15, a side sheet metal part 16 and a component fixing frame 17, and also includes a drive mechanism 2.

[0048] Furthermore, by Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the main frame 11 is an assembly welded from L-shaped steel. The bottom sheet metal part 12 is fixed to the bottom end of the main frame 11, the top sheet metal part 13 is hinged to the top end of the main frame 11, the door sheet metal part 14 is hinged to the front of the main frame 11, the back sheet metal part 15 is fixed to the back of the main frame 11, the two side sheet metal parts 16 are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the main frame 11, the component mounting bracket 17 is fixed to the top surface of the bottom sheet metal part 12 for mounting electrical components, and the drive mechanism 2 is drivably connected to the top sheet metal part 13 for driving the top... With the above solution, the electrical components of the photovoltaic transformer box are fixed to the component mounting bracket 17 with screws during use. During subsequent inspections, staff can open the box door sheet metal 14 to inspect the electrical components from the front. When it is necessary to observe the top of the electrical equipment, staff can activate the drive mechanism 2 to drive the top sheet metal 13 to flip up, making it easy to observe the top of the electrical equipment. This does not require a large flipping space and is suitable for most usage scenarios, avoiding obstruction from other devices around the photovoltaic transformer box casing 1.

[0049] Optionally, by Figures 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the drive mechanism 2 includes: a mounting block 21, a first mounting ear with a hole 22, a worm gear 23, a second mounting ear with a hole 24, a worm 25, and a drive motor 26. The mounting block 21 is fixed to the long side of the top sheet metal part 13, and a fixed shaft 211 is fixed at both ends of the mounting block 21. The two first mounting ears with holes 22 are symmetrically fixed to the top back of the photovoltaic transformer housing 1, and the fixed shaft 211 passes through the first mounting ear with a hole 22 to form a rotating structure. The worm gear 23 is fixed on the fixed shaft 211, and the two second mounting ears with holes 24 are fixed to the top back of the photovoltaic transformer housing 1. The first hole mounting ear 24 is symmetrically fixed to the outer wall of the first hole mounting ear 22. The worm 25 is rotatably mounted between the two second hole mounting ears 24 and meshes with the worm wheel 23. The drive motor 26 is fixed on the second hole mounting ear 24 and is used to drive the worm 25 to rotate. With the above scheme, when in use, the drive motor 26 is started to drive the worm 25 to rotate. The worm 25 drives the worm wheel 23 to rotate by meshing. The worm wheel 23 drives the top sheet metal part 13 to flip by the fixed shaft 211, which can open or close the top sheet metal part 13.

[0050] It should be noted that the above solution is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. The worm gear 23 and the worm 25 have reverse self-locking characteristics. Therefore, the top sheet metal part 13 will not rotate when the drive motor 26 is not started, and it has high stability. In specific use, if the stability requirement is not high, the top sheet metal part 13 can be driven to rotate directly by the drive motor 26, or the drive motor 26 can be changed to manually rotate the worm 25.

[0051] Preferably, by Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment also includes a rubber sealing ring 18, which is bonded and fixed to the top of the main frame 11. With the above solution, when the top sheet metal part 13 is closed during use, the rubber sealing ring 18 shrinks, which improves the sealing performance of the top sheet metal part 13 after it is closed, and prevents rainwater from entering the photovoltaic transformer housing 1 through the gap.

[0052] Preferably, by Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment, the component mounting bracket 17 includes: L-shaped columns 171, main component mounting plate 172, and side component mounting plate 173. The four L-shaped columns 171 are diagonally fixed to the top surface of the bottom sheet metal part 12, and multiple waist-shaped holes 1711 are machined on the L-shaped columns 171 at equal intervals along the vertical direction. The main component mounting plate 172 is fixed to the two front L-shaped columns 171 with bolts, and the two side component mounting plates 173 are respectively fixed to the two L-shaped columns 171 on the left and right sides with bolts. With the above solution, electrical components can be installed on both the main component mounting plate 172 and the side component mounting plate 173 with screws during use. Both the main component mounting plate 172 and the side component mounting plate 173 are fixed to the L-shaped columns 171 with screws, and the number and height of the main component mounting plate 172 and the side component mounting plate 173 can be adjusted as needed.

[0053] Preferably, by Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment also includes a handle 141, which is fixed to the outer wall of the box door sheet metal part 14. With the above solution, the handle 141 facilitates opening the box door sheet metal part 14 during use.

[0054] Preferably, by Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment also includes an observation window 142, which is embedded and fixed on the box door sheet metal part 14. With the above solution, during use, the electrical components inside the photovoltaic transformer box shell 1 can be easily observed through the observation window 142 without opening the box door sheet metal part 14.

[0055] Preferably, by Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in this embodiment, the side sheet metal part 16 is hinged to the main frame 11. With the above solution, the side sheet metal part 16 can be opened to inspect the electrical components on the side during use, making the inspection more convenient.

[0056] It should be noted that the photovoltaic transformer box of this utility model further includes a door lock, which can be a commercially available conventional cabinet door lock. The specific structure and operating principle can be referred to the cabinet door lock in the prior art, which will not be elaborated in detail in this article. Secondly, cabinet door locks are installed on the sheet metal parts 14 of the box door and the sheet metal parts 16 of the side.

[0057] Preferably, by Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment also includes a ventilation window 161, which is embedded and fixed on the side sheet metal part 16. With the above solution, during use, the ventilation window 161 facilitates ventilation and heat dissipation of the electrical components inside the photovoltaic transformer housing 1.

[0058] It should be noted that the drive motor 26 is a commercially available standard device with a built-in power switch. Those skilled in the art can make conventional selections according to their needs. Its working principle is common knowledge known to those skilled in the art and has been fully disclosed in the prior art, so it will not be elaborated further in this article.

[0059] The circuit connection involved in this utility model is a common method used by those skilled in the art, and technical inspiration can be obtained through a limited number of experiments. It belongs to the widely used prior art.

[0060] Components not described in detail in this article are existing technologies.

[0061] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: When using the photovoltaic box transformer of this utility model, the electrical components of the photovoltaic box transformer are fixed to the component fixing bracket 17 with screws. During subsequent inspections, the staff can open the box door sheet metal part 14 to inspect the electrical components from the front.

[0062] When it is necessary to observe the top of the electrical equipment, the staff starts the drive motor 26 to drive the worm 25 to rotate. The worm 25 drives the worm wheel 23 to rotate through the meshing action. The worm wheel 23 drives the top sheet metal part 13 to flip up through the fixed shaft 211, which makes it easy to observe the top of the electrical equipment. It does not require a large flipping space and is suitable for most usage scenarios, avoiding obstruction from other devices around the photovoltaic transformer housing 1.

[0063] In addition, the side sheet metal part 16 is hinged, which can be opened to inspect the electrical components on the side, making the inspection more convenient.

[0064] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model.
