[0038] Currently, air conditioner outdoor units typically have a photovoltaic control box. This box collects solar energy to reduce the power consumption of the compressor during operation, thus saving electricity. However, in existing technologies, the installation structure of the photovoltaic control box is complex and cannot be quickly disassembled.

[0039] To simplify the installation structure of the photovoltaic control box and thus improve the assembly speed, this utility model proposes a photovoltaic control box for use in refrigeration equipment. The refrigeration equipment includes a main body, a housing, and a cover, with the cover covering the housing to form an installation cavity.

[0040] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the photovoltaic control box 10 includes a housing 100. When installed in the mounting cavity, the housing 100 is fixed to one side of the casing 300. The housing 100 has a first mounting portion 110, through which the housing 100 is fastened to the side of the casing 300. It is understood that the first mounting portion 110 is specifically fastened, simplifying the installation steps, reducing installation time, and improving production efficiency. Furthermore, this design facilitates maintenance and replacement, as the photovoltaic control box 10 can be quickly disassembled.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first mounting part 110 can be a snap-fit ​​mounting part, which has a mounting position adapted to the thickness of one side of the housing 300. The snap-fit ​​mounting part is directly fastened to the housing 300 through this mounting position. Because the size of the mounting position precisely matches the thickness of the side of the housing 300, it is relatively stable after installation and not easily loosened or detached. Thus, the snap-fit ​​mounting part not only simplifies the installation process but also improves the fixing reliability of the photovoltaic control box 10. In one example, the thickness of the side of the housing 300 is 5 mm, so the mounting position of the snap-fit ​​mounting part is also designed to be 5 mm wide, or slightly larger than 5 mm, to ensure a tight fit. Furthermore, to further enhance stability, some anti-slip structures, such as protrusions or grooves, can be provided on the inner side of the snap-fit ​​mounting part to increase friction.

[0042] Understandably, in existing photovoltaic control boxes (such as photovoltaic control boxes), they are typically connected to the outdoor unit's side panel with screws by adding a separate bracket, and the side panel is then connected to the cover with screws. This installation method involves two screwing processes, making installation complex and not allowing for simple assembly. However, in this embodiment, the housing 100 is directly fastened to one side of the casing 300 via the first mounting part 110, and then the cover 400 is placed on the casing, covering the first mounting part 110. Subsequently, only one screw is needed to achieve a three-way connection, simultaneously fixing the housing 100, casing 300, and cover 400, greatly reducing the installation process. This design not only simplifies the installation steps but also improves production efficiency.

[0043] The target device can be a refrigeration unit 20, such as an air conditioner. When the refrigeration unit 20 is an air conditioner, the photovoltaic control box 10 can be installed on the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. Optionally, the air conditioner can be a photovoltaic air conditioner, and the photovoltaic control box 10 can be a photovoltaic control box installed on the outdoor unit of the air conditioner for light collection. Therefore, this places certain demands on the material of the photovoltaic control box 10.

[0044] The material of the first mounting part 110 can be sheet metal or other high-strength materials, such as high-strength plastics or composite materials. The specific material of the first mounting part 110 is not limited here, as long as it can be securely fastened to the housing 300 on one side of the enclosure 100. In this embodiment, the material of the first mounting part 110 is sheet metal, which provides high strength and durability. Sheet metal not only withstands significant mechanical stress but also has good corrosion resistance, making it suitable for outdoor use. Furthermore, sheet metal is easily processed into complex shapes, allowing for customized designs based on actual needs. For example, sheet metal can be processed into the required U-shape or other shapes through stamping, bending, and other processes to adapt to different installation requirements.

[0045] In this embodiment, the enclosure 100 can be made of metal, such as sheet metal, aluminum alloy, and stainless steel, or of insulating material, such as engineering plastics or composite materials. The specific material chosen depends on the application requirements and cost considerations. However, generally, the enclosure 100 needs to be insulating; it can be a metal enclosure 100 enclosing an insulating enclosure 100. This is because the control box inevitably houses electronic components inside the enclosure 100. To effectively isolate these components from the external environment and prevent short circuits and other electrical faults, the electronic components can be housed within the insulating enclosure 100, which is then enclosed by the metal enclosure 100 for protection. In one example, the insulating enclosure 100 can be made of polycarbonate (PC), ABS, or PVC, materials that not only have good insulation properties but also a certain degree of mechanical strength. In some examples, the metal enclosure 100 can be sheet metal, aluminum alloy, or stainless steel. The main function of the outer metal enclosure 100 is to provide additional physical protection against impacts, vibrations, and harsh weather conditions such as rain and dust. Thus, the enclosure 100 not only has good electrical insulation performance, but also excellent physical protection and heat dissipation performance, thereby ensuring that the photovoltaic control box 10 can work stably and reliably in various environments.

[0046] In summary, the photovoltaic control box 10 includes a housing 100. When installed in the mounting cavity of the cooling device 20, the housing 100 is fixed to one side of the housing 300 of the cooling device 20. The housing 100 has a first mounting part 110, and the housing 100 is fastened to the side of the housing 300 via the first mounting part 110. Thus, the housing 100 can be fixed in the corresponding position via the first mounting part 110. Then, the cover 400 of the cooling device 20 is closed, and the first mounting part 110 is restricted to the corresponding position by the cover 400. At this point, the cover 400, the first mounting part 110, and the housing 300 are fixed by a fastener, achieving simple assembly. Compared with the installation structure in the prior art, the photovoltaic control box 10 simplifies the installation structure, thereby improving assembly speed.

[0047] On the other hand, the structure of the photovoltaic control box 10 facilitates its placement on top of the housing 300 of the cooling equipment 20, thus ensuring that the photovoltaic control box 10 is exposed to sunlight to the maximum extent, thereby effectively collecting light sources. It is worth noting that the photovoltaic control box 10 is equipped with a photovoltaic control (MPPT) module, which can automatically adjust the operating point under different light and temperature conditions to ensure that the photovoltaic system always operates in optimal condition, thereby maximizing energy output. Therefore, with the photovoltaic control box 10 having enhanced light source collection capabilities, the MPPT module can achieve better performance.

[0048] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the enclosure 100 includes a housing 120 and a cover plate 130. The first mounting part 110 is disposed on the housing 120; the cover plate 130 covers the housing 120. It can be understood that the housing 120 is the main structural part of the enclosure 100, forming the basic frame of the photovoltaic control box 10. The housing 120 has one or more cavities for accommodating circuit boards and electronic components. The design of the housing 120 takes into account the support and fixation of the circuit boards and electronic components thereon, ensuring that they are not affected by the external environment during use.

[0049] Understandably, the cover plate 130 is a component that covers the opening of the housing 120, forming a closed space together with the housing 120 to protect the internal components. This ensures good sealing between the photovoltaic control box 10 and the target device, preventing dust, moisture, etc., from entering the photovoltaic control box 10 and damaging the circuit board and electronic components. The cover plate 130 is the side used to fit against the target device (such as an air conditioner outdoor unit). In other words, when the photovoltaic control box 10 is installed on the target device, the cover plate 130 becomes the contact surface between the photovoltaic control box 10 and the target device. It should be noted that the size of the cover plate 130 depends on the size of the circuit board. The space corresponding to this location on the target device itself has little use, thus minimizing its impact on the size of the target device.

[0050] Optionally, since the photovoltaic control box 10 can be used in photovoltaic power generation cooling equipment, it can be positioned on the upper side of the cooling equipment 20 to facilitate light source acquisition. Therefore, when the housing 100 is fastened to the casing 300, the cover 130 can be fitted to the casing 400 of the cooling equipment 20, so that the opening of the casing 120 also faces the casing 400. It is understandable that if the cover 130 is positioned on the side of the housing 100 away from the casing 400 of the cooling equipment 20, the opening of the casing 120 would face downwards, and the cover 130 would be positioned below the casing 120. This would require additional fixing procedures between the casing 120 and the cover 130, such as drilling holes, inserting screws, and structural adaptation. Therefore, positioning the cover 130 in the corresponding position in the housing 100 enhances structural stability. The cover 130 can be stabilized in its corresponding position by gravity, and then assembly can be achieved through simple fixing.

[0051] Additionally, it should be noted that if the photovoltaic control box 10 is not located on the upper side of the cooling device 20, but rather on the side of the cooling device 20, then the relative position of the cover plate 130 and the housing 120 is not limited; similarly, if it is located on the lower side of the cooling device 20, the relative position of the cover plate 130 and the housing 120 is also not limited. If it is located on the side away from the cover 400, it can be fixed by gravity; if it is located on the side closer to the cover 400, it can be supported in the corresponding position by the cover 400. However, the case of it being located on the lower side is relatively rare.

[0052] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first mounting part 110 is a U-shaped mounting component, the opening of which engages with the side of the housing 300. It is understood that the U-shaped mounting component design allows the photovoltaic control box 10 to be quickly installed onto the side of the housing 300 through a simple snap-fit ​​action. The operator only needs to align the U-shaped mounting component with the side of the housing 300 and gently push it to complete the installation. Similarly, disassembly is also simple, requiring only the reverse operation, making it very convenient and quick.

[0053] In this embodiment, the U-shaped mounting component includes a first connecting arm 111, a second connecting arm 112, and a third connecting arm 113 connecting the first connecting arm 111 and the second connecting arm 112. One end of the first connecting arm 111 is disposed on the housing 120, one end of the third connecting arm 113 is disposed on the other end of the first connecting arm 111, and the other end of the third connecting arm 113 is connected to one end of the second connecting arm 112. An opening of the U-shaped mounting component is formed between the first connecting arm 111, the second connecting arm 112, and the third connecting arm 113.

[0054] The first connecting arm 111 and the second connecting arm 112 can be arranged in parallel to enhance the stability of the installation and reduce the possibility of displacement due to collision or shaking after installation.

[0055] It should be explained that the first connecting arm 111, as the starting point of the U-shaped structure, extends directly from the housing 120 of the photovoltaic control box 10. It can be installed separately on the housing 120 or integrally formed with it. Its design purpose is to provide a stable support point, ensuring that the U-shaped mounting component can be accurately aligned and fastened to the side of the housing 300. When the photovoltaic control box 10 is installed, the first connecting arm 111 will experience a reaction force from the side of the housing 300. This force is usually directed from the outside inwards, i.e., towards the main body of the photovoltaic control box 10. Furthermore, during daily use, if the photovoltaic control box 10 is subjected to lateral movement, the first connecting arm 111 will also bear a certain tensile stress.

[0056] It should be explained that the second connecting arm 112 will be subjected to various types of forces, including but not limited to bending forces, shear forces, and torsional forces. When the photovoltaic control box 10 is installed or removed, the force applied by the operator will cause slight deformation of the second connecting arm 112; under normal use conditions, it also needs to resist material fatigue caused by factors such as temperature changes and vibration.

[0057] It should be explained that the third connecting arm 113 forms one side of the U-shaped structure, opposite to the first connecting arm 111, together enclosing an opening space. The main purpose of the third connecting arm 113 is to provide sufficient width for the U-shaped structure to ensure that it can firmly wrap around the side of the housing 300 during installation. The second connecting arm 112 can be covered by the cover 400 of the refrigeration equipment 20 to prevent it from moving up and down. The length of the third connecting arm 113 needs to be adapted to the thickness of the side of the housing 300 to ensure that the U-shaped mounting component is relatively stable in its corresponding position.

[0058] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the second connecting arm 112 and / or the third connecting arm 113 have fixing holes, and the photovoltaic control box 10 is fixed to the housing 300 through the fixing holes by fasteners. It is understood that fixing holes are provided on the second connecting arm 112 and / or the third connecting arm 113 to further enhance the connection stability between the photovoltaic control box 10 and the housing 300. The design of these fixing holes allows the use of screws, rivets, or other types of fasteners to pass through, thereby more firmly fixing the U-shaped mounting piece to the housing 300. This design not only retains the original quick-connect advantage but also adds additional safety and stability through mechanical fixing.

[0059] Regardless of whether the fixing hole is located on the second connecting arm 112, the third connecting arm 113, or both, the important point is that all three can be secured using a single fastener. Additionally, a connecting arm can have multiple fixing holes for enhanced securing.

[0060] In one embodiment, the first mounting portion 110 includes at least two first mounting members (not shown in the figure), which are spaced apart from each other on the housing 100. By using multiple first mounting members, the weight of the photovoltaic control box 10 and any external forces it may be subjected to (such as vibration, impact, etc.) can be more evenly distributed across different fixing points, reducing the pressure on individual fixing points and improving the overall structural stability. It is understood that at least one of the first mounting members has a fixing hole, through which the photovoltaic control box 10 is fixed to the housing 300 by a fixing member passing through the fixing hole.

[0061] It is important to note that this first mounting component differs from the U-shaped mounting component; it is specifically a mounting component of other shapes that enables snap-fit ​​installation. For example, the first mounting component could be an L-shaped component, consisting of two vertical arms, one fixed to the photovoltaic control box 10 housing 100, and the other used to snap onto the side of the housing 300. The first mounting component could also be a hook-shaped component, resembling a fishhook, with a curved hook portion for snapping onto the side of the housing 300. The first mounting component could also be a snap-fit ​​component, typically containing one or more flexible snaps that can be inserted into corresponding grooves on the housing 300. The first mounting component could also be a T-shaped component, consisting of a horizontal arm and a vertical arm, the horizontal arm fixed to the photovoltaic control box 10 housing 100, and the vertical arm used to snap onto the side of the housing 300. Therefore, the form of the first mounting component is not limited here; the focus is on a mounting component used for snap-fit ​​installation.

[0062] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the housing 100 also includes a second mounting portion 140, which is used to fix the housing 100 to the equipment body 200. It can be understood that the housing 100 of the photovoltaic control box 10 not only includes a first mounting portion 110 for fixing to the side of the casing 300, but also additionally has a second mounting portion 140. The main function of the second mounting portion 140 is to further fix the entire housing 100 to the equipment body 200 inside the casing 300 of the cooling equipment 20, providing additional support and stability. This double-fixed structure ensures that the photovoltaic control box 10 is more stable during equipment operation, reducing the risk of loosening or damage caused by external factors such as vibration and impact. The design of the second mounting portion 140 takes into account the connection method with the equipment body 200, and can be achieved through various fixing methods, such as screws, rivets, or other mechanical connectors.

[0063] In one embodiment, the second mounting part 140 is an L-shaped mounting member. One side of the L-shaped mounting member is connected to the housing 100, and the other side of the L-shaped mounting member has a fixing hole. The photovoltaic control box 10 is fixed to the equipment body 200 through the fixing hole by a fastener. It is understood that the second mounting part 140 can be an L-shaped mounting member. One side of the L-shaped mounting member is directly connected to the housing 100 of the photovoltaic control box 10, while the other side has a fixing hole. Through these fixing holes, screws or other types of fasteners can be used to firmly fix the photovoltaic control box 10 to the equipment body 200. The design of the L-shaped mounting member not only provides a stable mechanical connection but also simplifies the installation process. The operator only needs to align the L-shaped mounting member with the corresponding position on the equipment body 200, and then use a fastener to pass through the fixing hole and tighten it to complete the installation. This design ensures the stability of the photovoltaic control box 10 and facilitates disassembly and replacement during maintenance.

[0064] In one embodiment, the first side of the housing 300 includes an arc-shaped sidewall, and the housing of the photovoltaic control box has an arc-shaped outer wall adapted to the arc-shaped sidewall, so that the photovoltaic control box 10 is disposed in close contact with the first side of the housing 300. It is understood that since the refrigeration device 20 is not strictly a cuboid, the housing of the refrigeration device 20 has arc-shaped features in some locations. Therefore, the photovoltaic control box 10 can have a shape adapted to these arc-shaped features. For example, an arc-shaped feature is provided at the connection between the first and second sides of the refrigeration device 20, the first side of the photovoltaic control box 10 is close to the first side of the refrigeration device 20, the second side of the photovoltaic control box 10 is close to the second side of the refrigeration device 20, and an arc-shaped design is also present between the first and second sides of the photovoltaic control box 10. The arc shape of the photovoltaic control box 10 adapts to the arc shape of the housing, saving internal space, increasing the internal space occupancy rate, and allowing the photovoltaic control box 10 to be disposed close to the edge, avoiding the location within the refrigeration device 20 where the main body 200 needs to be placed.

[0065] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the housing 300 also includes a side plate 500, which is disposed on one side of the housing 300, and the first side of the side plate 500 has a first mating part 510; the enclosure 100 is specifically fastened to the first mating part 510 of the side plate 500 through the first mounting part 110. It is understood that in some outdoor units of refrigeration equipment 20, a corresponding side plate 500 may be provided on one side of the housing 300, and the first side of the side plate 500 has a specially designed first mating part 510. The enclosure 100 of the photovoltaic control box 10 is fastened to this first mating part 510 through the first mounting part 110. This allows the photovoltaic control box 10 to be quickly and accurately installed onto the housing 300, while ensuring good fit and stability. The first mating part 510 is usually designed to match the shape of the first mounting part 110 to ensure a tight fit between the two. For example, if the first mounting part 110 is a U-shaped structure, then the first mating part 510 might be a raised edge or a groove so that the U-shaped structure can be smoothly engaged. This not only simplifies the installation steps but also improves assembly efficiency and reliability. The side plate 500, the cover 400, and the first mounting part 110 can be fixed together by a single fastener, also featuring a simple installation structure and easy assembly.

[0066] like Figure 1As shown, this utility model also provides a refrigeration device 20, which includes a housing 300, a cover 400, and a photovoltaic control box 10. It should be noted that the specific structure of the photovoltaic control box 10 is the same as described in the above embodiments. Since this refrigeration device 20 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0067] It is understandable that the cooling equipment 20 can be a photovoltaic air conditioner, and when the cooling equipment 20 is an air conditioner, it can specifically be an outdoor unit of an air conditioner; the photovoltaic control box 10 can specifically be a photovoltaic control box. The outdoor unit of the air conditioner is located outdoors, while the photovoltaic control box is located on the outdoor unit, which can effectively collect solar energy to improve the utilization rate of the photovoltaic control box 10.

[0068] It should be noted that when the refrigeration equipment 20 is an air conditioner, it can be a central air conditioner, a floor-standing air conditioner, a wall-mounted air conditioner, etc. However, the specific refrigeration equipment 20 is not limited here. The key point is that when the photovoltaic control box 10 is installed on the refrigeration equipment 20, it can facilitate the rapid assembly of the refrigeration equipment 20.

[0069] In one embodiment, the housing 300 has an open end; the cover 400 is used to cover the open end, and the housing 300 and the cover 400 enclose a receiving cavity; the photovoltaic control box 10 is disposed in the receiving cavity, and the photovoltaic control box 10 is fastened to the housing 300 through the first mounting part 110, and the cover 400 covers the housing 300 and fixes the first mounting part 110.

[0070] It is understood that the housing 300 is the main structure of the equipment, providing space to accommodate internal components; the cover 400 is used to close the opening of the housing 300, forming a complete outer shell. The housing 300 and the cover 400 together enclose a receiving cavity, which is used to house the photovoltaic control box 10 and other necessary electrical and mechanical components. The specific structure of the photovoltaic control box 10 refers to the above embodiment, that is, it includes a housing 100, a first mounting part 110, and a second mounting part 140, etc. Due to the adoption of the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, the cooling device 20 can achieve the effects of rapid installation, stable fixation, and easy maintenance and replacement. Furthermore, since the photovoltaic control box 10 has the characteristic of simple installation structure with the cooling device 20, it can also achieve simple assembly. Therefore, the cooling device 20 can also achieve the function of simple assembly during assembly, which can simplify the installation procedure of the cooling device 20 and achieve faster installation.

[0071] In this embodiment, the photovoltaic control box 10 is fastened to one side of the housing 300 via its first mounting portion 110. Then, the cover 400 is placed on the housing 300, covering the first mounting portion 110. This further restricts the first mounting portion 110, ensuring its position does not shift. Furthermore, the fasteners can simultaneously secure the housing 100, the housing 300, and the cover 400, making maintenance and replacement of the cooling equipment 20 more convenient.

[0072] In one embodiment, the cover 400 includes a cover body 410 and a surrounding wall 420 disposed along the edge of the cover body 410. The first mounting portion 110 of the photovoltaic control box 10 has a fixing hole. The photovoltaic control box 10 is fixed to the side of the cover body 410 and the housing 300 by means of a fixing member passing through the fixing hole. And / or, the photovoltaic control box 10 is fixed to the surrounding wall 420 and the side of the housing 300 by means of a fixing member passing through the fixing hole.

[0073] Understandably, the first mounting portion 110 of the photovoltaic control box 10 is provided with mounting holes, which allow the photovoltaic control box 10 to be fixed to the cover 400 and / or housing 300 using screws or other types of fasteners.

[0074] In this embodiment, since there are two installation methods—installed on the cover 410 and installed on the enclosure 420—fixing holes corresponding to the second connecting arm 112 and the third connecting arm 113 of the first mounting part 110 can be provided. On the one hand, in order to fix the photovoltaic control box 10 to the side of the cover 410 and the housing 300 through the fixing holes by fasteners, fixing holes need to be provided on the cover 410 and the second connecting arm 112. In this way, they can be connected to each other by fasteners. And by drilling fixing holes at the positions of the second connecting arm 112 on the housing 300, the cover 400, the housing 300, and the photovoltaic control box 10 can be fixed together by a single fastener. On the other hand, in order to fix the photovoltaic control box 10 to the side of the enclosure 420 and the housing 300 through the fixing hole by the fixing member, fixing holes need to be opened on the enclosure 420 and the second connecting arm 112. In this way, they can be connected to each other by fixing members. Fixing holes are drilled in the housing 300 at the position of the second connecting arm 112, so that the cover 400, the housing 300 and the photovoltaic control box 10 can be fixed by a fixing member.

[0075] In one embodiment, the cooling device 20 further includes a fan 600; the photovoltaic control box 10 includes a first cavity, the height of which decreases toward the fan 600, so that a fan avoidance area 151 is formed at the position of the photovoltaic control box 10 corresponding to the first cavity, and the fan 600 operates in the fan avoidance area 151.

[0076] Understandably, this is used to force airflow and further enhance heat dissipation. The photovoltaic control box 10 includes a first cavity with a gradually decreasing height, which decreases towards the fan 600. This creates a fan avoidance zone 151 at the location of the photovoltaic control box 10 corresponding to the first cavity. When the fan 600 is operating, this fan avoidance zone 151 can be fully utilized, ensuring sufficient space between the fan 600 blades and the photovoltaic control box 10, avoiding positional conflicts between the fan 600 and the photovoltaic control box 10, which would necessitate increasing the size of the cooling device 20 to prevent mutual interference. Therefore, the existence of the fan avoidance zone 151 not only ensures the effective operation of the fan 600 but also allows for a more compact layout of the entire photovoltaic control box 10. Through the ingenious cooperation between the fan 600 and the first cavity of the photovoltaic control box 10, heat dissipation performance is improved, internal space utilization is optimized, and the miniaturization design of the cooling device 20 is further promoted.

[0077] In one embodiment, the refrigeration device 20 further includes a device body 200 disposed in the receiving cavity, and the photovoltaic control box 10 further includes a second mounting part 140, the photovoltaic control box 10 being fixed to the device body 200 through the second mounting part 140.

[0078] Understandably, the housing 100 of the photovoltaic control box 10 not only includes a first mounting portion 110 for fixing to the side of the casing 300, but also has an additional second mounting portion 140. The main function of the second mounting portion 140 is to further fix the entire housing 100 to the main body 200 of the cooling equipment 20 within the casing 300, providing additional support and stability. This double-fixed structure ensures that the photovoltaic control box 10 is more stable during equipment operation, reducing the risk of loosening or damage caused by external factors such as vibration and impact. The design of the second mounting portion 140 takes into account the connection method with the main body 200, and can be achieved through various fixing methods, such as screws, rivets, or other mechanical connectors.
