[0026] A photovoltaic combiner box with a heat dissipation mechanism includes:
[0027] The enclosure includes the junction box body 1. The junction box body 1 is an existing product and is not considered a technical protection point of this application. It will not be described in detail here. The surface of the junction box body 1 is hinged with a door 11, which is used to cover the junction box body 1.

Cooling fan 25 is connected to motor 24 and heat sink 26. Cooling fan 25 assists in the heat dissipation of junction box body 1, accelerates the heat exchange of air inside junction box body 1, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of junction box body 1 and avoiding accelerated aging and performance degradation of components due to high temperature. Heat sink 26 is symmetrically distributed in two sets on both sides of junction box body 1. Heat sink 26 covers motor 24 and cooling fan 25 to protect motor 24 and cooling fan 25, while preventing external dust and other debris from entering the interior of junction box body 1 through heat dissipation holes 21 without affecting heat dissipation. Second louvered grille 27 allows hot air inside junction box body 1 to be discharged, achieving heat dissipation.

[0033] Furthermore, the mounting base 3 is used to mount the rotating block 31 on the junction box body 1. The rotating block 31 is rotatably connected to the junction box body 1 through the mounting base 3. The rotating block 31 is used to drive the first magnetic block 32 to rotate. When the box door 11 is closed, the rotating block 31 will be in a vertical state under its own gravity, thereby realizing the storage of the rotating block 31 and the first magnetic block 32, reducing the size of the device. The first magnetic block 32 is completely embedded in the rotating block 31.
[0034] Furthermore, the fixing block 33 is used to fix the second magnetic block 34 to the box door 11. The second magnetic block 34 is fixedly connected to the box door 11 through the fixing block 33. The second magnetic block 34 is completely embedded in the fixing block 33. The first magnetic block 32 and the second magnetic block 34 can attract each other. The first magnetic block 32 and the second magnetic block 34 are used to attract each other to limit the box door 11, so that the box door 11 can be stably in the open state and will not swing back and forth to hinder the staff from inspecting the junction box body 1.
[0035] Working principle: The motor 24 drives the cooling fan 25 to rotate, which can assist the cooling of the junction box body 1, accelerate the heat exchange of air inside the junction box body 1, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the junction box body 1 and avoiding the accelerated aging and performance degradation of components caused by high temperature.
[0036] Rotate the box door 11 180 degrees to fully open the box door 11. Then rotate the rotating block 31 to make the rotating block 31 horizontal. The first magnetic block 32 will be attracted together with the second magnetic block 34 to limit the box door 11, so that the box door 11 can be stably kept in the open state and will not swing back and forth to hinder the staff from inspecting the combiner box body 1.
