Detailed Implementation

[0025] 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.

[0026] Embodiment 1 of this utility model, as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the box 10 has a receiving cavity inside. The top of the box 10 has a buckle that is fixed to the cover 17. The bottom of the receiving cavity has a recessed molding groove 11. Support parts are provided on both sides of the molding groove 11. Positioning posts 14 are provided on the outside of the support parts. A module diode 20 is installed on the positioning post 14. The electrode plate 21 of the module diode 20 has a foolproof notch. The molding 22 has a direction mark to avoid incorrect installation direction. The side of the box 10 has a first marking part 15. The box 10 below the first marking part 15 has a cable groove. The cable 30 connected to the module diode 20 is installed in the cable groove. The cable groove has a large notch on the side. Adhesive flows to this point to seal the cable. The cable 30 is clamped in the cable groove by a wire clamping block 40. The first marking part 15 is marked with "+". The box is used as a positive terminal box.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the support includes a first platform 12 with a busbar hole 16 at the top. Different housings are connected by busbars between the busbar holes. The side of the first platform 12 is inclined and connected to the bottom of the accommodating cavity. A second platform 13 is provided on the side of the busbar hole 16 at the notch of the first platform 12. The inclined surface of the support near the molding compound groove 11 fits against the molding compound 22 to fix the module diode 20. The first platform 12 and the second platform 13 provide support for the module diode 20 while reducing the contact area with the module diode 20, thus improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0028] The positioning post 14 is provided with a trapezoidal block 141 connected to the bottom of the accommodating cavity. The height of the trapezoidal block 141 is the same as the height of the support part. At least four sets of positioning posts 14 are provided and distributed in an array in the accommodating cavity. The positioning post 14 is used for the rapid positioning of the module diode 20. After the module diode 20 is positioned, the trapezoidal block 141 together with the support part provides support.

[0029] like Figure 4As shown, the module diode 20 includes two opposing electrode plates 21 and a plastic encapsulation 22 disposed at the connection of the electrode plates 21. A solder block 23 is mounted on the front of the electrode plate 21 for heat dissipation. A bending head is disposed inside the plastic encapsulation 22 on the electrode plate 21. The bending head includes a first bending section 211 and a second bending section 212. A conductive sheet 213 is disposed on the outside of the bending head. The bending forming process has a lower processing cost compared to the traditional cold heading forming process.

[0030] A rectangular welding copper sheet 31 is provided below the module diode 20 for the cable 30. The cable 30 and the module diode 20 are connected and fixed by resistance welding. A rectangular notch is provided in the housing 10 at this location to allow for resistance welding processing.

[0031] The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 of this utility model is that, as shown in the following... Figure 5 As shown, the electrode plate nail head type in the module diode 20 is different. In this embodiment, the electrode plate 21 is provided with a bending nail head in the plastic encapsulation body 22. The bending nail head has only one bending. The two sides of the bending nail head and the electrode plate 21 are provided with stamping grooves. A conductive sheet 213 is provided on the outside of the bending nail head. Compared with the two-stage bending in the first embodiment, the large R angle is eliminated, reducing one bending process.

[0032] The difference between Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 1 of this utility model is that, as shown in the following... Figure 6 As shown, the first marking is marked with "-", and the box is used as a negative terminal box.

[0033] Several points need to be clarified: First, in the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly, and can refer to mechanical or electrical connections, or internal connections between two components, or direct connections. Terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are only used to indicate relative positional relationships, and the relative positional relationships may change when the absolute position of the described objects changes. Second, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish one entity from another entity, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities.

[0034] The above examples are merely illustrative of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. All designs that are the same as or similar to this utility model are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
