[0028] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0030] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0032] With the rise of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), photovoltaics are being applied to more and more building applications. A photovoltaic module junction box is a connector between the photovoltaic module 100 and the control device; its main function is to connect the photovoltaic module 100 to external circuits.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, during the installation of the photovoltaic module 100 and the junction box, the mounting surface of the junction box has a small design size, leaving limited area for applying adhesive. Furthermore, the junction box has perforations for the lead wires 200 to pass through the busbars. During adhesive application, the adhesive can easily clog these perforations, affecting the insertion of the lead wires 200. Therefore, workers typically apply adhesive to the mounting surface in sections. However, this sectioning method results in insufficient adhesive near the perforations, leaving gaps between the mounting surface and the photovoltaic module 100. This can lead to adhesive leakage during subsequent potting, requiring a second application, thus impacting work efficiency and adhesive application effectiveness.

[0034] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a photovoltaic module junction box to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0035] like Figures 3-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a photovoltaic module junction box, which includes a box body 1. One side of the box body 1 extends along a first direction and is configured to be connected to the photovoltaic module 100. The lead wire 200 of the busbar passes through the photovoltaic module 100. The box body 1 has a wiring groove 11 that extends along a second direction. Along the second direction, one end of the wiring groove 11 is located close to the photovoltaic module 100. The opening end 111 of the wiring groove 11 is located at the top of the box body 1. The lead wire 200 can pass through the opening end 111 and pass through the wiring groove 11. The second direction is set at an angle to the first direction.

[0036] In this embodiment, one side of the housing 1 extends along a first direction and is configured to connect to the photovoltaic module 100, ensuring a close fit between the housing 1 and the photovoltaic module 100 at the connection point, making installation and connection more convenient. The busbar lead wire 200 passes through the photovoltaic module 100. The housing 1 has a wiring groove 11 that runs through it along a second direction. The wiring groove 11 facilitates the laying of the lead wire 200 and prevents the lead wire 200 from bending in the wiring groove 11. Along the second direction, one end of the wiring groove 11 is located close to the photovoltaic module 100 so that the lead wire 200 passing through the photovoltaic module 100 can directly pass through the opening end 111 into the wiring groove 11. The opening end 111 of the wiring trough 11 is located at the top of the box body 1, allowing operators to directly place the lead wire 200 into the wiring trough 11 from the opening end 111 at the top of the box body 1. This not only facilitates the laying of the lead wire 200 but also eliminates the need for segmented adhesive application; the adhesive can be applied directly and in one go at the connection between the box body 1 and the photovoltaic module 100, thereby improving work efficiency and adhesive application effect. Through the above design, the photovoltaic module junction box of this application facilitates the laying of the lead wire 200 and improves work efficiency and adhesive application effect.

[0037] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first direction and the second direction are horizontal directions that are perpendicular to each other. In other embodiments, the first direction and the second direction can be adjusted according to the installation requirements between the photovoltaic module 100 and the box 1, which will not be explained in detail here.

[0038] The specific structure of the photovoltaic module junction box is explained below:

[0039] Specifically, such as Figures 3-6 As shown, when the box 1 is connected to the photovoltaic module 100, the bottom of the wiring groove 11 is lower than the position where the lead wire 200 passes through from one side of the photovoltaic module 100, which ensures that the lead wire 200 can smoothly enter the wiring groove 11, improves the convenience of operation, and ensures that the lead wire 200 will not be obstructed due to improper position.

[0040] More specifically, multiple wiring channels 11 and multiple lead wires 200 are provided. Multiple wiring channels 11 are arranged at intervals on the box body 1 and are set one-to-one with multiple lead wires 200, so that the junction box can be used for photovoltaic modules 100 of different quantities and specifications, thereby improving the versatility and flexibility of the junction box.

[0041] It should be noted that those skilled in the art are familiar with the specific structure and working principle of the photovoltaic module 100, and therefore will not elaborate further here.

[0042] Specifically, the housing 1 is provided with a connecting portion 12 for connecting the photovoltaic module 100. Along the second direction, the cross-sectional area of ​​the connecting portion 12 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the wiring groove 11. Through the above arrangement, a larger contact area is provided at the connection between the housing 1 and the photovoltaic module 100, thereby enhancing the connection stability between the junction box and the photovoltaic module 100. In this embodiment, the connecting portion 12 is a side surface of the housing 1 extending along the first direction, which is used to adhere to the photovoltaic module 100.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, along the second direction, the cross-section of the box 1 is U-shaped, that is, the box 1 has only one wiring groove 11, which not only facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the box 1, but also makes the width of the wiring groove 11 wider, thereby facilitating the arrangement of the lead wire 200 and the filling of glue.

[0044] Specifically, when the lead wire 200 is laid in the wiring groove 11, the adhesive can fill the wiring groove 11. The inner wall of the wiring groove 11 is provided with a buffer part, so that the adhesive can move slowly and evenly in the wiring groove 11 to achieve full filling.

[0045] More specifically, in this embodiment, the inner wall of the wiring groove 11 is provided with protrusions, which are buffer parts, and multiple protrusions are provided. The multiple protrusions are spaced apart along the second direction to ensure that the glue is fully filled.

[0046] Specifically, a stop is movably installed at the other end of the wiring channel 11. The inner wall of the wiring channel 11 and the stop form an adhesive injection groove, thereby preventing adhesive from flowing out from the other end of the wiring channel 11 and improving the adhesive application effect. The stop is a stop plate or stop block, which is connected to the box 1 by plugging or snapping. The specific structure of the stop is not limited here, as long as it can achieve the above-mentioned functions.

[0047] Specifically, a sealing element is sandwiched between the inner wall of the wiring groove 11 and the stop, thereby enhancing the sealing performance between the wiring groove 11 and the stop and preventing glue leakage and the entry of external impurities. The sealing element can be a rubber ring or a silicone gasket; the specific structure of the sealing element is not specified here.

[0048] Specifically, the cross-sectional area of ​​the wiring groove 11 gradually decreases from one end to the other, which can guide the glue to flow smoothly and reduce the generation of air bubbles, thereby improving the glue application quality.

[0049] Specifically, the box body 1 has a cubic structure, which facilitates processing, manufacturing, and installation positioning, improving the production efficiency and installation convenience of the junction box. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the photovoltaic module junction box also includes a cover, which is placed on the box body 1 to protect it.

[0050] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
