The DC busbar electrical component is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0026] The fixing mechanism includes a limiting rod 3, a connecting plate 5, a cover plate 6, and fixing bolts 7. Four of the multiple mounting slots 2 are threadedly connected to the limiting rod 3, and the four limiting rods 3 are snapped into the protective frame 4.

The cover plate 6 abuts against the protective frame 4 and is used to limit the movement of the protective frame 4. At the same time, the cover plate 6, the protective frame 4 and the base 1 form a DC combiner box, thereby achieving the effect of protecting the DC combiner electrical components. The four connecting plates 5 are threaded with fixing bolts 7, and one end of each fixing bolt 7 is threadedly connected to the four limit rods 3. The four fixing bolts 7 connect the four connecting plates 5 to the four limit rods 3 respectively.

[0028] See attached document Figure 1-2 A sealing gasket 9 is fixedly installed on one side of the protective frame 4. The sealing gasket 9 fits tightly with the base 1 to improve the sealing performance and prevent liquid from entering the protective frame 4.

[0029] See attached document Figure 2 The inner side of the protective frame 4 is provided with four limiting grooves 11, and four limiting rods 3 are respectively engaged with the four limiting grooves 11. The interaction between the four limiting rods 3 and the four limiting grooves 11 can achieve the effect of limiting the protective frame 4.

[0030] See attached document Figure 4 Each of the four limit rods 3 has a threaded groove 12 at one end, and the four threaded grooves 12 are respectively adapted to the four fixing bolts 7, so as to facilitate the connection with the four fixing bolts 7.
