[0002] In photovoltaic power generation systems, the distribution box is a key piece of equipment, undertaking important functions such as power distribution, control and protection. However, since photovoltaic power generation systems are usually installed in outdoor environments, the distribution box is inevitably affected by weather conditions, especially the erosion of rainwater.

[0003] Traditional photovoltaic (PV) power distribution boxes have gaps between the box body and the door, which can easily become channels for rainwater to seep in during rainy weather. Once rainwater seeps into the distribution box, it may cause short circuits, corrosion, and other malfunctions in electrical components, affecting the normal operation of the distribution box. Therefore, we have made improvements and proposed a waterproof distribution box for PV power generation systems. Utility Model Content

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention 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 invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0026] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0027] For an example, please refer to... Figures 1-4 A waterproof distribution box for a photovoltaic power generation system includes a box body 1 and a door 101 hinged to the front of the box body 1. A first waterproof membrane 3 is provided on the front of the box body 1, and the first waterproof membrane 3 covers the gap between the box body 1 and the door 101. A first magnetic sealing strip 302 is connected to the side of the first waterproof membrane 3 near the door 101, and the first magnetic sealing strip 302 is attracted between the box body 1 and the door 101.

[0028] This application provides a first waterproof membrane 3 on the front of the housing 1 and the door 101. The first waterproof membrane 3 covers the gaps between the housing 1 and the door 101, which can reduce the situation where rainwater seeps into the interior of the housing 1 through the gaps, reduce the failure rate caused by rainwater seepage, and improve the operational stability and reliability of the photovoltaic power generation system. The first waterproof membrane 3 is magnetically fixed by a first magnetic sealing strip 302, which is convenient to install and remove.

[0029] Both the box body 1 and the box door 101 are made of materials that can be magnetically attracted. The first magnetic sealing strip 302 is frame-shaped and is bonded to the first waterproof membrane 3 with glue.

[0030] Furthermore, a second waterproof membrane 301 is provided on the top of the first waterproof membrane 3, and a second magnetic sealing strip is provided on the bottom of the second waterproof membrane 301. The second magnetic sealing strip is attached to the top of the box 1 to enhance the waterproof performance of the top of the distribution box and further prevent rainwater from seeping in from above. The second magnetic sealing strip is bonded to the second waterproof membrane 301 with glue. The first waterproof membrane 3 and the second waterproof membrane 301 are made of PET film.

[0031] Furthermore, the front of the door 101 is open, and a lock box 102 is connected inside the open. A lock 104 is provided on the lock box 102. When the lock 104 is locked, it forms a limit with the inner wall of the box 1. The lock box 102 is welded to the inner wall of the open. The lock box 102 can reduce the protrusion of the handle 103 and the lock 104, thereby facilitating the installation of the first waterproof membrane 3.

[0032] Furthermore, a handle 103 is also fixedly installed inside the lock box 102, and the handle 103 is designed to raise the hand gripping point when opening the lock box 101.

[0033] Furthermore, heat dissipation vents 108 are provided on both sides of the enclosure 1. Protective covers 2 are fixedly connected to the sides of the two enclosures 1 that are far apart from each other, and the protective covers 2 cover the heat dissipation vents 108. The heat dissipation vents 108 meet the heat dissipation requirements of electrical equipment. The protective covers 2 block the flow of rainwater from the outside, change the direction of rainwater flow, reduce the contact of rainwater with the heat dissipation vents 108, and ensure the normal operating temperature and waterproof performance of the equipment. The position of the heat dissipation vents 108 is far away from the bottom of the protective covers 2 to reduce the splashing of rainwater into the heat dissipation vents 108.

[0034] Furthermore, a mounting frame 201 located below the heat dissipation vent 108 is installed inside the protective cover 2. A cooling fan 202 is installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 201. This application has two cooling fans 202. The two cooling fans 202 blow air into the box 1 and exhaust air out of the box 1 respectively, so as to accelerate the heat dissipation inside the box 1.

[0035] Furthermore, a support frame 203 is provided at the bottom of the box 1, and a waterproof and breathable membrane 204 is installed in the middle of the support frame 203. The waterproof and breathable membrane 204 is glued inside the support frame 203. The setting of the waterproof and breathable membrane 204 can further improve the waterproof effect.

[0036] The waterproof and breathable membrane 204 is an existing component, and its waterproof and breathable principle is common knowledge, so it will not be described in detail in this application.

[0037] In this application, the waterproof and breathable membrane 204 set in the middle of the bottom support frame 203 of the box 1 can effectively block rainwater from seeping in. However, due to the limitation of its pore size, the airflow under natural conditions will be affected to a certain extent. However, this application can compensate for this effect by setting the cooling fan 202 through forced convection. That is, the cooling fan 202 directly accelerates the air exchange between the inside of the box 1 and the external environment through active air supply / exhaust, so as to ensure that the overall ventilation volume can meet the heat dissipation requirements of the electrical components in the photovoltaic power generation system distribution box. In other words, this application effectively makes up for the impact of the waterproof and breathable membrane 204 on the natural ventilation volume through the active forced convection design of the cooling fan 202, and ensures that the distribution box still has sufficient ventilation and heat dissipation capacity while improving waterproof performance.

[0038] Furthermore, both sides of the protective cover 2 are equipped with a buckle body 206, and the side of the support frame 203 is equipped with a buckle hook 205, and the buckle hook 205 is fastened to the buckle body 206. The buckle body 206 and the buckle hook 205 are existing components, and their specific structure and usage methods are existing technologies, which will not be described in detail in this application.

[0039] Furthermore, the bottom of the inner cavity of the box 1 is provided with an inlet / outlet port 105, which is used for the passage of the cable. After the cable passes through the inlet / outlet port 105, fireproof putty is used to seal the gap between the inlet / outlet port 105 and the cable.

[0040] Furthermore, mounting bases 106 are installed on the top and bottom of the housing 1, and mounting holes 107 are provided on the mounting bases 106. The mounting holes 107 are provided for bolts to pass through during installation.

[0041] Mounting base 106 and lock box 102 are both welded to the housing 1. Mounting frame 201 is welded inside the protective cover 2. Cooling fan 202 is fixed to mounting frame 201 by bolts. Hook and latch 205 are welded to support frame 203. Hook and latch body 206 are welded to protective cover 2.
