Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic junction box technology, specifically a photovoltaic junction box for marine photovoltaic modules. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic junction boxes are important components of solar photovoltaic modules. They are mainly used to connect photovoltaic cell strings, transmit electrical energy, and provide circuit protection and environmental protection functions. They are the key interface between photovoltaic modules and external circuits, and directly affect the safety and stability of the system.

[0003] In the prior art, Chinese patent application number CN201810931379.6 discloses a photovoltaic junction box, including a box body, a power management module, a positive cable and a negative cable. The box body includes an upper cover and a bottom shell. The positive cable and the negative cable pass through the box body and connect to the power management module. Limiting blocks are installed on the positive cable and / or the negative cable. The bottom shell has a first groove and a second groove corresponding to the first groove. The first groove and the second groove form a slot. The limiting blocks are inserted into the slot and fixed to the positive cable and the negative cable by the upper cover and the bottom shell.

[0004] The above-mentioned material is a common type of photovoltaic junction box in the prior art. It achieves the purpose of wiring by fixing the cable through the cooperation between the limiting block and the slot. However, in actual use, the cooperation between the limiting block and the slot is a fixed connection, which gives the cable some room for movement. When connecting the photovoltaic panel, the cable may be pulled. Since there is no room for movement, the cable may fall off or be damaged when pulled. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a photovoltaic junction box for marine photovoltaic modules, so as to solve the problem of cable damage caused by pulling mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a photovoltaic junction box for marine photovoltaic modules, comprising a junction box shell and a sealing cover that is installed therewith. Both the junction box shell and the sealing cover are made of high-performance engineering plastic made of polyphenylene ether to prevent corrosion from high salt and humidity at sea. A fixing plate is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the junction box shell. The connecting wire harness passes through the junction box shell and is connected to the connecting block by bolts. The connecting block is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the connecting plate inside the junction box shell. A connecting buckle for connecting to the photovoltaic panel is provided at the top of the connecting wire harness. A mounting plate is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the front end of the connecting plate. A fixing clip for secondary fixing of the connecting wire harness is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mounting plate. Two guide wheels corresponding to the connecting wire harness are provided on the upper surface of the mounting plate. A buffer mechanism for buffering the guide wheels is provided inside the mounting plate.

[0007] Preferably, a pressing plate corresponding to the connecting wire harness is provided on the inner side of the fixing clamp, wherein the bottom of the pressing plate slides in contact with the fixing clamp to prevent the pressing plate from rotating when subjected to rotational force, so that the pressing plate only has linear motion on the fixing clamp. A threaded rod is rotatably installed on the side of the pressing plate, wherein the threaded rod passes through the fixing clamp and forms a threaded engagement with it, and an adjustment knob is coaxially fixedly installed at the rear end of the threaded rod.

[0008] Preferably, an elastic insulating rubber extrusion pad is fixedly installed on the inner side of the fixing clamp.

[0009] Preferably, the buffer mechanism includes a guide slide rod fixedly installed inside the mounting plate, and a buffer spring is provided on the outside of the guide slide rod. The buffer spring provides a margin of movement and buffers the connection harness when it is pulled, thus avoiding damage to the harness.

[0010] Preferably, a connecting slider is rotatably mounted on the lower end of the guide wheel, and the connecting slider and the guide slide rod form a through sliding structure.

[0011] Preferably, the connecting slider and the buffer spring are pressed against each other, and the guide wheel bends the connecting wire harness between it and the fixing clamp.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the photovoltaic junction box for the offshore photovoltaic module adopts a novel structural design, the specific details of which are as follows: 1. Both the junction box housing and the sealing cover are made of high-performance engineering plastic polyphenylene oxide to prevent corrosion in the high-salt and high-humidity marine environment. After wiring, the threaded rod is rotated by adjusting the knob, and the threaded rod drives the extrusion block to move, so that the extrusion block extrudes and fixes the connection harness, achieving the purpose of secondary fixation, thereby improving the wiring stability. Furthermore, when connecting the wiring harness to the photovoltaic panel module, if the wiring harness is pulled, it will squeeze the guide wheel. At this time, the guide wheel moves by the cooperation between the connecting slider and the guide rod below it. The connecting slider squeezes the buffer spring, and the elasticity of the buffer spring is used to achieve the purpose of buffering, so as to prevent the wiring harness from being pulled off or damaged.

[0013] 2. An elastic rubber compression pad is provided on the inner surface of the fixing clip. During secondary fixing, the compression pad protects the connecting wire harness and reduces wear on the connecting wire harness. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments.

[0018] In this embodiment, when wiring the photovoltaic panel module, firstly, the two connecting wires 4 are passed through the junction box housing 1 and extended into its interior. Then, the connecting wires 4 inside the junction box housing 1 are connected to the wiring block 7 using bolts. Subsequently, the adjusting knob 12 is rotated, which drives the threaded rod 11 to rotate. At this time, the threaded rod 11 drives the extrusion plate 10 to move. Finally, the extrusion plate 10 and the extrusion pad 13 are used to fix the connecting wires 4 for the second time, improving the stability of the connection of the connecting wires 4. Then, the sealing cover 2 is fixed on the top of the junction box housing 1 using bolts (both the junction box housing 1 and the sealing cover 2 are made of high-performance engineering plastic made of polyphenylene ether to prevent corrosion in the high-salt and high-humidity marine environment).

The elasticity of the buffer spring 17 is used to achieve the purpose of buffering. Finally, the connection wire harnesses 4 are prevented from falling off and being damaged due to the movement margin and buffering effect.
