Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic switch monitoring technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic switch monitoring device that is easy to inspect and quickly assemble. Background Technology
[0002] The large-scale grid connection of photovoltaic (PV) power generation equipment has altered the power flow direction from the bottom up, making grid equipment maintenance and safety more challenging. Previously, maintenance only required monitoring the switching status of upstream equipment; inspections by dispatching units were sufficient to identify any potential energization risks. However, with the current direction becoming bidirectional, it's necessary to monitor both upstream and downstream switches. Therefore, maintenance and dispatching departments pay close attention to the switching status of downstream PV power generation switches, needing to obtain and analyze the topology to identify any potential energization hazards at the current power source. Currently, the switching status of PV equipment is not transmitted to the main substation, and the compact cabinet space makes it difficult to place secondary equipment, making malfunctions particularly likely during humid weather in southern China.
[0003] A photovoltaic switch monitoring device that is easy to inspect and quickly assembled is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0029] Working Principle: In use, first install the device at the designated location.

Next, connect the output line of the photovoltaic switch to the electrical connection base 11, and then connect the semiconductor cooling plate 12 and the fan 17 to the electrical connection base 11. Normal operation is then possible. During operation, starting the fan 17 circulates the air inside the housing 1 through the dehumidification shell 16. At this point, the semiconductor cooling plate 12 is activated. The thermoelectric cooling plate 12 effectively reduces the temperature of the cooler 18. When flowing air passes through the low-temperature cooler 18, it can achieve effective condensation. The condensate generated at this time can flow into the bottom of the dehumidification housing 16 and finally into the water storage tank 14 for collection. This structure ensures that the device can operate efficiently and stably in a humid environment.
