[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-6This utility model provides a technical solution: a photovoltaic off-grid inverter capable of connecting multiple battery groups, including a detachable housing. Inside the housing is a copper strip mechanism 12 capable of connecting multiple battery groups. Multiple cables 6 are connected to the copper strip mechanism 12. An interface plate 4 is fixed to one end of the housing. One end of each cable 6 passes through the interface plate 4 and extends to the outside of the housing. A threading mechanism 5 is provided on the interface plate 4 for clamping and limiting the cables 6. The copper strip mechanism 12 can connect multiple cables 6 simultaneously, thus enabling the photovoltaic off-grid inverter to connect multiple battery groups simultaneously, improving the versatility of the photovoltaic off-grid inverter. The threading mechanism 5 clamps and limits the cables 6 passing through the interface plate 4, providing protection for the cables 6 and reducing the risk of breakage at the connection between the cables 6 and the copper strip mechanism 12 due to bending or pulling.

[0029] The display screen 2 is installed at the upper end of the housing, and the inverter motherboard is installed inside the housing. The copper strip mechanism 12 and the display screen 2 are both electrically connected to the inverter motherboard, so that the inverter's working parameters and operating data can be displayed on the display screen 2.

[0030] The housing includes a base 14, a first upper cover 1 and a second upper cover 11. The first upper cover 1 and the second upper cover 11 are fixed to the upper end of the base 14 by bolts. The display screen 2 is located on the first upper cover 1, and the interface board 4 is located at one end of the second upper cover 11, so that the first upper cover 1 and the second upper cover 11 are detachable, which facilitates the installation and maintenance of electrical components inside the housing.

[0031] The copper strip mechanism 12 includes two geometric plates and a cover plate 122. The two geometric plates are fixed side by side inside the base 14, and the upper surfaces of the two geometric plates are connected by the cover plate 122. The cover plate 122 increases the stability of the installation between the two geometric plates. The protrusions 123 of the geometric plates and the connecting part 121 form a step, so that two cables 6 can be fixed on one geometric plate at the same time, thereby enabling the copper strip mechanism 12 to connect multiple cables 6.

[0032] The geometric plate includes two connecting portions 121 and a protrusion 123. The protrusion 123 is located between the two connecting portions 121. One of the connecting portions 121 is connected to the inverter main board. The upper ends of the other connecting portion 121 and the protrusion 123 are both equipped with studs to facilitate fixing a cable 6 on the protrusion 123 and the other connecting portion 121. The cable 6 is detachably mounted on the stud through a connecting mechanism. One of the connecting portions 121 of the geometric plate has an integrally formed folded edge 124.

An elliptical hole 53 is opened in the center of the fixing plate 52 for two cables 6 to pass through. Multiple slots 54 are equally spaced around the fixing plate 52 and communicate with the elliptical hole 53. By utilizing the communication between the slots 54 and the elliptical hole 53, the fixing plate 52 forms multiple fan-shaped clamping pieces, which can be used to allow cables 6 of different diameters to pass through the elliptical hole 53. At the same time, the clamping pieces provide a certain clamping force to the cables 6, so that the cables 6 are fixed in position without being pulled by external forces.

[0035] The interface board 4 is provided with a power switch 7 and multiple external interfaces 9 at both ends. The multiple external interfaces 9 are multiple network cable interfaces and multiple data transmission interfaces, which facilitates connection with other devices through multiple external interfaces 9 and improves the convenience of data transmission.

After the multiple sector-shaped pieces are combined, a cable guide hole is formed at the center to facilitate the passage of other cables 6, so as to connect external devices with electrical components inside the housing. The interface board 4 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 8 in a rectangular array to improve the ventilation inside the housing and accelerate the heat dissipation efficiency inside the housing.

[0037] Two protrusions 16 are fixed at the other end of the base 14. The protrusions 16 are provided with mounting holes, which facilitate the installation of the base 14 to the required position, thereby improving the ease of inverter installation. A support plate 15 is also installed inside the base 14. The support plate 15 is located at the connection between the first upper cover 1 and the second upper cover 11. The support plate 15 divides the interior of the outer shell into two mounting cavities. One mounting cavity is used to install the inverter main board, and the other mounting cavity is used to install the copper strip mechanism 12.

[0038] Ventilation plates 3 are fixed on opposite sides of the base 14. Multiple elongated holes are provided on the ventilation plates 3, which are arranged in a rectangular array. The ventilation plates 3 form convection flow with the air inside the outer shell, which helps to accelerate the heat dissipation rate inside the outer shell.

[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
