Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of photovoltaic combiner box technology, and specifically relates to a photovoltaic combiner box. Background Technology
[0002] The direct current generated by the photovoltaic modules is connected to the input terminal of the combiner box via cables. The photovoltaic combiner box is a wiring device in the photovoltaic power generation system that ensures the orderly connection of photovoltaic modules and the function of current collection. This device can ensure that the photovoltaic system can be easily disconnected during maintenance and inspection, and reduce the scope of power outage when the photovoltaic system fails. To improve the reliability and practicality of the system, the photovoltaic combiner box is usually equipped with photovoltaic-specific DC surge protection modules, DC fuses and circuit breakers, and is equipped with working status indicator lights, lightning counters, etc., so that users can timely and accurately grasp the working status of the photovoltaic cells and ensure that the solar photovoltaic power generation system achieves maximum efficiency.
[0003] In windy conditions, the cables at the bottom of the photovoltaic combiner box will sway due to the wind. Excessive swaying frequency in windy conditions increases the risk of loosening at the connection points, which may not only affect the current transmission efficiency but also threaten the safe operation of the equipment. Therefore, a photovoltaic combiner box is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a photovoltaic combiner box to solve the problem that the high frequency of swaying of the cables at the bottom of the photovoltaic combiner box in windy conditions will increase the risk of loosening at the connection.
[0005] The specific technical solution is as follows:
[0006] A photovoltaic combiner box includes a photovoltaic combiner box body with built-in electrical components, a first bolt, and a second bolt;
[0007] The bottom of the photovoltaic combiner box body is electrically connected to several cables. The bottom of the photovoltaic combiner box body is fixedly connected to two symmetrically arranged connecting blocks. The bottom of the connecting blocks is provided with a limiting cover with one side open. The top and bottom of the limiting cover are provided with through grooves. The cables are arranged inside the through grooves. One side of the limiting cover is rotatably connected to a cover plate by a hinge.
[0008] Preferably, an installation block is fixedly connected to the outer side of the insulating silicone pad, and the installation block is detachably connected to the cover plate by a first bolt.
[0009] Preferably, an insulating silicone pad is provided on one side of the cover plate.
[0010] Preferably, the top of the limiting cover is fixedly connected to two symmetrically arranged fixing blocks, and the fixing blocks are detachably connected to the connecting block by a second bolt.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the photovoltaic combiner box body is fixedly connected to two inclined water baffles, which are symmetrically arranged on the top of the limiting cover.
[0012] Preferably, the inner side of the insulating silicone pad has a number of through holes that are evenly arranged.
[0013] Preferably, the outer sides of the limiting cover and the cover plate are equipped with corresponding locks.
[0014] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] In this invention, a structure consisting of a limiting cover, a through groove, a cover plate, an insulating silicone pad, and a lock is used to place the cable inside the limiting cover through the through groove. The cover plate is then locked to the limiting cover by the lock. At this time, the insulating silicone pad will fit tightly against the cable, thereby limiting the cable in conjunction with the limiting cover and the cover plate, reducing the space for the cable to sway in windy conditions, thus reducing the amplitude of the cable swaying. This solves the problem that the high frequency of cable swaying at the bottom of the photovoltaic combiner box in windy conditions increases the risk of loosening at the connection.

[0026] Example
[0027] Please see Figure 1-3This embodiment discloses a photovoltaic combiner box, including a photovoltaic combiner box body 1 with built-in electrical components, a first bolt 9, and a second bolt 12. Several cables 2 are electrically connected to the bottom of the photovoltaic combiner box body 1. Two symmetrically arranged connecting blocks 3 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the photovoltaic combiner box body 1. A limiting cover 4 with one side open is provided at the bottom of the connecting block 3. The top and bottom of the limiting cover 4 are provided with through grooves 5. The cables 2 are arranged inside the through grooves 5. A cover plate 6 is rotatably connected to one side of the limiting cover 4 by a hinge. An insulating silicone pad 7 is provided on one side of the cover plate 6. Locks 14 are installed on the outer sides of the limiting cover 4 and the cover plate 6 in a corresponding manner. This arrangement allows the cables 2 to be limited by the limiting cover 4, the cover plate 6, and the insulating silicone pad 7, reducing the space for the cables 2 to sway in windy conditions, thereby reducing the amplitude of the swaying of the cables 2 and solving the problem that the high frequency of swaying of the cables 2 at the bottom of the photovoltaic combiner box in windy conditions will increase the risk of loosening at the connection.
[0028] An mounting block 8 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the insulating silicone pad 7. The mounting block 8 is detachably connected to the cover plate 6 by a first bolt 9. This arrangement allows for the detachable installation of the insulating silicone pad 7. The inner side of the insulating silicone pad 7 has a number of evenly spaced through holes 10. This arrangement enhances the deformation capability of the insulating silicone pad 7 through the through holes 10. The top of the limiting cover 4 is fixedly connected to two symmetrically arranged fixing blocks 11. The fixing blocks 11 are detachably connected to the connecting block 3 by a second bolt 12. This arrangement allows for the detachable installation of the limiting cover 4. The bottom of the photovoltaic combiner box body 1 is fixedly connected to two inclined water baffles 13. The water baffles 13 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the limiting cover 4. This arrangement allows the water baffles 13 to guide rainwater and prevent rainwater from entering the limiting cover 4.
[0029] Workflow: All electrical appliances in this utility model are equipped with an external power supply or a built-in battery. To improve the reliability and practicality of the photovoltaic combiner box body 1, the photovoltaic combiner box body 1 is usually equipped with a photovoltaic-specific DC lightning protection module, DC fuse, and circuit breaker, and is equipped with working status indicator lights, lightning counters, etc., so that users can timely and accurately grasp the working status of the photovoltaic cells and ensure that the solar photovoltaic power generation system plays its maximum role. First, install the photovoltaic combiner box body 1 in the preset position, and then connect the cable 2 through the through slot 5 opened inside the limiting cover 4 to the wiring terminal inside the photovoltaic combiner box body 1. Thus, the DC power generated by the photovoltaic module can be connected to the input end of the combiner box through the cable 2. After completing the installation of the cable 2, rotate the cover plate 6 towards the limiting cover 4 so that the lock 14 on the cover plate 6 locks together with the lock 14 on the limiting cover 4. At this time, the insulating silicone pad 7 will be in contact with the cable 2, and the mounting block 8 will be set in the inner cavity of the limiting cover 4. The through hole 10 opened inside the insulating silicone pad 7 can enhance the insulating silicone pad 7. The deformability of the rubber pad 7 allows it to better adapt to cables 2 of different sizes. The insulating silicone pad 7, together with the limiting cover 4 and the cover plate 6, limits the movement of the cable 2, reducing the space for it to sway in windy conditions. This reduces the amplitude of the swaying and solves the problem that excessive swaying frequency of the cable 2 at the bottom of the photovoltaic combiner box in windy conditions increases the risk of loosening at the connection. The water baffle 13 prevents rainwater from entering the limiting cover 4 from the through groove 5. When replacing the insulating silicone pad 7, remove the first bolt 9... The first bolt 9 is removed from the mounting block 8 and the insulating silicone pad 7, thus allowing the mounting block 8 and the insulating silicone pad 7 to be disassembled. The installation of the mounting block 8 and the insulating silicone pad 7 can be achieved by reversing the operation. When the limiting cover 4 needs to be replaced, the second bolt 12 is removed and the limiting cover 4 is pulled away from the connecting block 3, thus removing the second bolt 12 from the connecting block 3 and the fixing block 11, thus allowing the fixing block 11 and the limiting cover 4 to be disassembled. The installation of the fixing block 11 and the limiting cover 4 can be achieved by reversing the operation.
