Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary components technology for photovoltaic systems, and in particular to a wiring device. Background Technology

[0002] During the operation of the photovoltaic power station, DC distribution cabinet burnout incidents occurred one after another. Preliminary analysis indicated that the burnout was caused by the explosion of the anti-reverse diode inside the DC distribution cabinet. The DC arc failed to extinguish, and the positive plate discharged to the cabinet. The arc caused overheating and fire in other parts, ultimately burning out the electrical components inside the cabinet. Inspection revealed that due to the high internal resistance of the photovoltaic panels, the short-circuit current of a single panel was only 8.99A. The short-circuit current inside the distribution cabinet did not reach the tripping current of the DC circuit breakers in the combiner box and the distribution cabinet, and the fault current was not cleared in time, resulting in severe equipment damage. Considering economic efficiency and ease of installation, three solutions to the above problems are proposed: First, anti-reverse diodes... Moving the diode to the combiner box requires redesigning the position of the anti-reverse diode inside the combiner box, which is costly and requires replacing many parts. Secondly, replacing the existing anti-reverse diode in the DC distribution cabinet with a new model may lead to burn-out issues later. Thirdly, an external anti-reverse diode can be installed in each photovoltaic branch, specifically at the positive terminal of the sub-array outlet. This eliminates the need to redesign the combiner box dimensions, resulting in lower costs and simpler installation. The input cable of the anti-reverse diode in the DC distribution cabinet is reconnected to the original anti-reverse diode's outlet copper busbar, and the original diode is not removed but used as an insulating base.

[0003] Using external anti-reverse diodes can effectively solve the problem of DC distribution cabinet burnout in photovoltaic power stations. However, in actual installation and use, due to the long installation cables and the messy cables after installation, the anti-reverse diodes are directly exposed and have a short lifespan. Especially when used in environments with strong winds and sandstorms, such as deserts, the connectors are prone to breakage and the anti-reverse diodes are easily damaged. Utility Model Content

[0025] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0027] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0028] Example 1, referring to Figure 1-3 This is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides a wiring device, including a photovoltaic bracket 100 and a fixing mechanism 200 detachably mounted on the photovoltaic bracket 100.

[0029] The fixing mechanism 200 includes a sheath 201 disposed on one side of the photovoltaic bracket 100, a retaining ring 202 sleeved on the outer side of the sheath 201, the side of the retaining ring 202 away from the sheath 201 being sleeved on the photovoltaic bracket 100, and an installation cavity 203 penetrating both ends of the sheath 201.

[0030] When installing the anti-reverse diode externally, the anti-reverse diode is installed inside the mounting cavity 203 of the protective sleeve 201. The protective sleeve 201 protects the anti-reverse diode and reduces damage to the anti-reverse diode caused by wind and sand. The anti-reverse diode and the protective sleeve 201 are detachably installed on the photovoltaic bracket 100 by means of the retaining ring 202, which makes disassembly and assembly convenient.

[0031] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism 200 also includes a first annular groove 204 coaxially disposed outside the sheath 201, and a retaining ring 202 sleeved in the first annular groove 204.

[0032] The retaining ring 202 is specifically fitted into the first annular groove 204 on the outside of the sheath 201. The first annular groove 204 limits the retaining ring 202 and prevents it from falling off.

[0033] Example 2, refer to Figure 1-6 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the fixing mechanism 200 also includes a storage component 205 that is detachably disposed on one side of the sheath 201. The storage component 205 includes a base 205a that is detachably disposed on one side of the sheath 201. A take-up tube 205b is detachably disposed on the side of the base 205a away from the sheath 201. A wire hole 205c is provided on the base 205a and extends through the wire hole 205c into the inside of the take-up tube 205b.

[0034] The storage component 205 is used to store the connecting cable after the anti-reverse diode is installed. Specifically, the input cable of the anti-reverse diode passes through the wire hole 205c on the base 205a and extends into the cable reel 205b. Of course, in order for the cable to pass through, the wire hole 205c is larger than the connector of the anti-reverse diode. The output cable of the photovoltaic system extends into the cable reel 205b and connects with the input cable of the anti-reverse diode. After connection, any excessively long cables can be stored in the cable reel 205b to form a hidden wiring. The output cable of the anti-reverse diode is also stored in the cable reel 205b after connection.

[0035] Furthermore, the storage component 205 also includes a first elastic band 205d that is fixed at both ends to the base 205a, and the sheath 201 is inserted inside the first elastic band 205d.

[0036] The sheath 201 is fastened to one side of the base 205a by the first elastic band 205d, making it very convenient to install and remove.

[0037] Furthermore, the storage component 205 also includes a second elastic band 205e that is fixed at two points on the base 205a, and a second annular groove 205f is coaxially provided on the outside of the take-up drum 205b, and the second elastic band 205e is sleeved in the second annular groove 205f.

[0038] Similarly, the take-up drum 205b is fastened to the other side of the base 205a by the second annular groove 205f, and the second annular groove 205f limits the second elastic band 205e to prevent the take-up drum 205b from falling out of the second elastic band 205e.

[0039] Furthermore, the storage component 205 also includes a first limiting groove 205g disposed on the base 205a, and the sheath 201 extends into the first limiting groove 205g.

[0040] Furthermore, the storage component 205 also includes a second limiting groove 205h disposed on the base 205a, and the take-up drum 205b extends into the second limiting groove 205h.

[0041] The first limiting groove 205g and the second limiting groove 205h are both arc-shaped grooves arranged along the length of the base 205a, respectively adapting to the external shape of the sheath 201 and the take-up drum 205b, thereby improving the installation stability of the sheath 201 and the take-up drum 205b.

[0042] Example 3, referring to Figure 1-6 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the storage component 205 also includes a cover 205i disposed at the end of the take-up tube 205b. The cover 205i has a wire hole 205j at its center and an opening 205k extending from the side wall of the cover 205i to the wire hole 205j.

[0043] Furthermore, the cap 205i and the take-up reel 205b are connected by a threaded or magnetic adsorption detachable connection.

[0044] Furthermore, the 202 clamp is made of stainless steel or stainless steel cable tie.

[0045] The cap 205i seals both ends of the take-up drum 205b to prevent the cable from slipping out. The cable passage hole 205j is used to allow the cable to enter the take-up drum 205b. When the connector of the anti-reverse diode and the photovoltaic system subarray outlet is larger than the cable passage hole 205j and cannot pass through, the cable is pressed into the cable passage hole 205j from the opening 205k on the side wall.

[0046] Excessive cable length after installation is stored in the cable reel 205b, solving the problem of tangled cables after installation. At the same time, the cable reel 205b protects the cable from wind and sand corrosion, especially protecting easily disconnected connectors and reducing the possibility of breakage. The anti-reverse diode is also stored in the sheath 201, which helps to ensure the stability and lifespan of the anti-reverse diode.
