[0002] The junction box is generally installed at the back of the photovoltaic module and is used for connecting the solar cell circuit inside the photovoltaic module with the external circuit, so that the electric energy can be delivered out. Since the photovoltaic module and the junction box are exposed to the outdoor environment all the year round, they need to withstand the challenges of weather such as wind and rain, wind and sand, floating dust, high temperature and high cold. Therefore, improving the waterproof and dustproof performance of the junction box is beneficial to prolong the service life of the photovoltaic equipment.
[0003] At present, the existing waterproof technology mainly uses a sealing ring to prevent water and dust. By compressing the sealing ring, the sealing ring is deformed to a certain extent, thereby playing a sealing role between the cable and the cable outlet hole on the junction box. However, since the deformation of the sealing ring under pressure is uncontrollable and uneven, the sealing ring may be too tight or too loose between the local cable. Therefore, even if the sealing ring is very soft, it cannot fully fill all the gaps between the cable and the cable outlet hole. After a long period of use, some water vapor will still enter the photovoltaic junction box through the gaps, causing damage to the electronic equipment in the photovoltaic junction box. SUMMARY

[0029] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 And Figure 3As shown in the figure, a waterproof and dustproof structure of a photovoltaic installation plate frame junction box comprises: a box body 1, the box body 1 is provided with an internal thread groove 7 and an internal groove 10 communicated with the internal thread groove 7; a sealing ring 11 arranged in the internal groove 10; a threaded sleeve 8 provided with a through hole 9, the through hole 9 is matched with the cross-sectional shape of the cable 2, the threaded sleeve 8 is screwed with the internal thread groove 7 to generate axial pressure on the sealing ring 11, so as to force the sealing ring 11 to deform and extrude the cable 2; a glue filling cavity 13 provided in the box body 1 for accommodating the filling glue, the glue filling cavity 13 is opened on the side close to the sealing ring 11, and the box body 1 is provided with a glue injection hole 14 communicated with the glue filling cavity 13; so that the sealing ring 11 is extruded on the cable 2 and the filling glue in the glue filling cavity 13 after deformation;
[0030] The above technical scheme can ensure that the gap between the sealing ring 11 and the cable 2 is filled with the filling glue. In use, the sealing ring 11 is put into the internal groove 10, then the threaded sleeve 8 is screwed into the internal thread groove 7, but not tightened, the cable 2 is sequentially inserted through the through hole 9, the sealing ring 11 and the glue filling cavity 13, then the filling glue is injected into the glue filling cavity 13 through the glue injection hole 14, and the threaded sleeve 8 is continued to be screwed to extrude the sealing ring 11 along the axial direction, so that the sealing ring 11 is deformed and fits with the cable 2. The sealing ring 11 is deformed and extruded on the glue filling cavity 13 at the same time, so that the air bubbles in the filling glue in the glue filling cavity 13 are pressed out, and the filling glue gradually penetrates into the gap between the sealing ring 11 and the cable 2, thereby sealing the gap. When the filling glue cools down, the cable 2 is fully sealed, the sealing ring 11 is combined with the filling glue, and the waterproof and dustproof effect of the junction box is improved.
[0031] As shown in the figures, Figure 3 and Figure 4 in this embodiment, the box body 1 is also provided with an exhaust hole 15 communicated with the glue filling cavity 13;
[0032] The above technical scheme can ensure that the air bubbles in the filling glue are discharged from the glue filling cavity 13 through the exhaust hole 15 when the filling glue is pressed.
[0033] As shown in the figures, Figure 3 and Figure 4 in this embodiment, the waterproof and dustproof structure further comprises a pressing ring 12 arranged between the threaded sleeve 8 and the sealing ring 11;
[0034] The above technical scheme can ensure that the sealing ring 11 is not damaged. The pressing ring 12 can replace the threaded sleeve 8 to abut against the sealing ring 11, so as to prevent the threaded sleeve 8 from rotating and damaging the surface of the sealing ring 11.
[0035] As shown in the figures, Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the waterproof and dustproof structure further includes: a plug 3, which engages with a slot 4 opened in the box 1. The upper end face of the plug 3 and the lower end face of the slot 4 are in contact with each other. The internal thread groove 7, the inner groove 10 and the glue potting cavity 13 are all opened between the upper end face and the lower end face. By splicing the plug 3 and the slot 4 together, a complete internal thread groove 7, inner groove 10 and glue potting cavity 13 can be formed.
[0036] The above technical solution allows for easy removal of the aged potting compound and sealing ring 11. In use, the threaded sleeve 8 is rotated to dislodge it from the inner thread groove 7, thereby releasing the locking of the insert 3. The insert 3 can then be removed from the slot 4, allowing the molded potting compound to be removed from the potting cavity 13. Finally, the sealing ring 11 can be removed from the inner groove 10.
[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, one end of the insert 3 is provided with a positioning pin 5, which engages with the positioning hole 6 opened in the box 1; preferably, each insert 3 is provided with at least two positioning pins 5.
[0038] The above technical solution can further improve the connection stability between the plug 3 and the slot 4.
[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the outer end of the threaded sleeve 8 is provided with a polygonal prism;
[0040] The above technical solution allows for easy rotation of the threaded sleeve 8 within the internal thread groove 7.
[0041] Working principle: Place the sealing ring 11 into the inner groove 10, then place the pressure ring 12 at the end of the sealing ring 11 away from the potting cavity 13. Then screw the threaded sleeve 8 into the inner thread groove 7, but do not tighten it. Pass the cable 2 through the through hole 9, the sealing ring 11, and the potting cavity 13 in sequence. Then inject potting compound into the potting cavity 13 through the injection hole 14. Continue to screw the threaded sleeve 8 so that one end of it presses the pressure ring 12 axially. The pressure ring 12 presses the sealing ring 11, thereby deforming the sealing ring 11. The sealing ring 11 is interference-fitted with the cable 2. While the sealing ring 11 is deformed, it also exerts a squeezing effect on the potting cavity 13, thereby expelling the air bubbles in the potting compound. The air bubbles are discharged from the potting cavity 13 through the vent 15. At the same time, the potting compound gradually seeps into the gap between the sealing ring 11 and the cable 2, thereby sealing the gap. When the potting compound cools down, it can fully seal the cable 2, achieving the combination of the sealing ring 11 and the potting compound, thereby improving the waterproof and dustproof effect of the junction box.
[0042] When it is necessary to remove the aged potting compound and sealing ring 11, the threaded sleeve 8 is dislodged from the inner thread groove 7 by rotating the polygonal prism at the outer end of the threaded sleeve 8, thereby releasing the locking of the insert 3, allowing the insert 3 to be removed from the slot 4, and allowing the molded potting compound to be removed from the potting cavity 13. Then, the sealing ring 11 is removed from the inner groove 10.

Therefore, any omissions, modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
