Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic connection technology, specifically to a photovoltaic connection device with multiple waterproof structures. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaics, or photovoltaic power generation systems, are power generation systems that utilize the photovoltaic effect of semiconductor materials to convert solar radiation energy into electrical energy. The energy for photovoltaic power generation systems comes from inexhaustible solar energy, making it a clean, safe, and renewable energy source. The photovoltaic power generation process does not pollute the environment or damage the ecosystem.

[0003] Photovoltaic power generation systems are divided into stand-alone photovoltaic systems and grid-connected photovoltaic systems. A photovoltaic power generation system consists of solar cell arrays, battery banks, charge / discharge controllers, inverters, AC distribution cabinets, solar tracking control systems, and other equipment. Because photovoltaic power generation systems need to be installed outdoors to receive solar radiation, they are susceptible to damage from rain and snow. The most critical component is the photovoltaic connector; if rainwater enters the connector, it can cause leakage or power outages, leading to damage or malfunction of the photovoltaic system.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a photovoltaic connection device with multiple waterproof structures to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, a limiting block is fixedly connected to the left side of the female terminal connector, and a mounting block is fixedly connected to the left side of the limiting block. The connection between the female terminal connector and external parts is realized through the limiting block and the mounting block.

[0009] Preferably, the outer side wall of the female terminal connector is rotatably connected to a threaded sleeve two. The threaded sleeve two has a sealing groove on the side near the male terminal connector. The threaded sleeve two is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve one. The female terminal connector and the male terminal connector are further connected through the cooperation of the threaded sleeve two and the threaded sleeve one.

Several sets of rubber blocks 9 are sleeved on the outer wall of the conductive part 4. A female terminal connector 6 is provided on the left side of the rubber blocks 9. The female terminal connector 6 and the conductive part 4 are interlocked. Several sets of mating grooves 14 are opened on the inner side wall of the female terminal connector 6, and the positions of the mating grooves 14 correspond to the rubber blocks 9. The initial connection between the male terminal connector 1 and the female terminal connector 6 and the waterproofing are achieved through the cooperation of the rubber blocks 9 and the mating grooves 14. The inner wall of the female terminal connector 6 has an inner groove 12, and an extrusion pad 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner groove 12. The extrusion pad 13 is located outside the mating groove 14. The extrusion pad 13 further extrudes the rubber block 9 so that the rubber block 9 fills the gap of the mating groove 14 more evenly. The left side of the female terminal connector 6 is fixedly connected to a limiting block 7, and the left side of the limiting block 7 is fixedly connected to an installation block 8. The limiting block 7 and the installation block 8 realize the connection between the female terminal connector 6 and the external parts. The outer wall of the female terminal connector 6 is rotatably connected to a threaded sleeve 2 5. The threaded sleeve 2 5 has a sealing groove on the side near the male terminal connector 1. The threaded sleeve 2 5 is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 1 3. The cooperation between the threaded sleeve 2 5 and the threaded sleeve 1 3 further connects the female terminal connector 6 and the male terminal connector 1.

[0024] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-4A sealing strip 10 is fixedly connected to the side of the moving ring 2 near the female terminal connector 6. A hidden groove is opened on the side of the sealing strip 10 near the male terminal connector 1, and a telescopic rod 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hidden groove. The minimum length of the telescopic rod 17 is less than that of the hidden groove. A spring 18 is sleeved on the outer wall of the telescopic rod 17. The moving ring 2 is driven to retract by the cooperation between the moving ring 2 and the telescopic rod 17, and a secondary seal is performed by the cooperation between the sealing strip 10 and the threaded sleeve 5 to waterproof. A conductive groove is opened inside the conductive part 4. Two sets of connecting plates 11 are fixedly connected to the top of the conductive part 4.

Then, insert the male terminal connector 1 into the interior of the female terminal connector 6, so that the rubber block 9 is embedded in the mating groove 14 to form a preliminary seal. After the rubber block 9 is embedded in the mating groove 14, the compression pad 13 is used to further compress the rubber block 9 to make the rubber block 9 fill the gap of the mating groove 14 more evenly to strengthen the seal. Rotate the threaded sleeve 1 3 and the threaded sleeve 2 5, drive the moving ring 2 to slide along the slide rod 101, push the sealing strip 10 to press the sealing groove of the threaded sleeve 2 5 to achieve secondary waterproofing. When the threaded sleeve 2 5 is tightened, the compression pad 13 will further compress the rubber block 9 to enhance the sealing performance. At the same time, the compression block 15 fixes the cable in the conductive part 4. Finally, the telescopic rod 17 and the spring 18 are used to make the sealing strip 10 self-adaptively tighten, compensate for loosening caused by wear or vibration, and further improve the reliability of waterproofing.
