[0030] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0031] In this invention, when the conductive contact piece 2 is installed, it is placed into the limiting groove inside the photovoltaic junction box 8 to ensure its stability and prevent wobbling. The conductive contact piece 2 is then fixed to the photovoltaic junction box 8 by the threaded post of the fixing locking post 7. The fixing locking post 7 is rotated until its bottom anti-detachment ring plate is tightly against the conductive contact piece 2, ensuring that the conductive contact piece 2 will not fall off. This achieves a stable installation of the conductive contact piece 2. When the removable diode 3 is installed, it is placed into the strip groove of the conductive contact piece 2 to ensure its stability. The positive and negative terminals of diode 3 correspond to those of conductive contact piece 2. The pin locking cylinder 4 is threaded onto the threaded post of conductive contact piece 2, and the pin locking cylinder 4 is rotated to lower it until the limiting ring plate at its bottom presses against the removable diode 3, thus achieving the clamping and fixing of the removable diode 3. When installing the junction box cable 6, the junction box cable 6 is passed through the cable guide tube of the photovoltaic junction box 8, and the core wire of the junction box cable 6 is inserted into the terminal block of conductive contact piece 2, ensuring that the core wire is in close contact with conductive contact piece 2. The core wire locking post 5 is threaded onto the conductive contact piece. In the threaded hole of 2, rotate the core wire locking pin 5 to lower it until its bottom presses against the core wire of the junction box cable 6, thereby achieving the clamping and fixing of the junction box cable 6. Then, the cable locking cylinder 9 is threaded onto the wire guide tube of the photovoltaic junction box 8, and the cable locking cylinder 9 is rotated to move it backward, so that the frustum hole of the cable locking cylinder 9 contacts the conical surface of the photovoltaic junction box 8 and deforms, so that the front end of the wire guide tube of the photovoltaic junction box 8 generates a clamping force on the junction box cable 6, thereby ensuring that the junction box cable 6 will not loosen and come out. The locking cylinder is secured by the pin. The design of pin locking cylinder 4 and core wire locking post 5 enables quick assembly and disassembly of detachable diode 3 and junction box cable 6 without welding or crimping, improving assembly and disassembly efficiency. At the same time, the pressing and fixing effect of pin locking cylinder 4 and core wire locking post 5, as well as the clamping effect of cable locking cylinder 9, together ensure the stability of electrical connection and prevent circuit failure caused by loosening and poor contact. Since detachable diode 3 and junction box cable 6 can be quickly assembled and disassembled, it is very convenient when maintenance or replacement is required, without disassembling the entire junction box or damaging the original electrical connection.

[0032] Example 2:

[0033] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the regular hexagonal structure of the pin locking cylinder 4 can also be set as a regular heptagonal structure, which makes the pin locking cylinder 4 require a special tool that works with the regular heptagonal structure to rotate, thus preventing non-staff members from rotating and disassembling the pin locking cylinder 4.

[0034] Example 3:

[0035] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the regular hexagonal groove of the core wire locking post 5 can also be set as a regular heptagonal groove, so that the core wire locking post 5 can only be rotated by a special tool that cooperates with the regular heptagonal groove, thus preventing non-workers from rotating and disassembling the core wire locking post 5.
