Definitions

  • the object of the present invention patent is related to an electrical connection box for photovoltaic or solar plates, the function of which is to join photovoltaic or solar panels and external plants.
  • the box is designed to contain the printed circuit plate, with the connection terminal, in its configuration the box has holes bored laterally on one of its sides, through which pass the wiring soldered to the printed circuit plate, the connection terminals functioning as outputs for the conductors for other panels or to the receiving plant.
  • DE 37 12 294 document relates to a plastic housing for an electrical apparatus having a printed circuit board which has display and control elements on its front edge and plug connectors and a main connecting cord on its rear edge.
  • the cover part and base part are screwed together by means of a single central screw.
  • US 4 632 269 document relates to a waterproof electrical enclosures for the encapsulation of electrical components which have a box-like base part to be fixed to a support surface by screws or like mounting fixtures and a sealing cover held to the base part by special fasteners located in special mounting points in the corners of the enclosure.
  • GB 2 366 096 document relates to an electrical connector box for sockets and plugs.
  • the sealing against ingress of water is produced upon closing the lid and body-part, by means of resilient sealing means that comprise a pair of resilient elements which are carried out by the lid and body-part respectively.
  • an innovative new electrical connection box for photovoltaic or solar panels has been designed, to hold the printed circuit, the interface unit, the lengthwise slot on the surface of the basis side for wire output, the limiting walls of the printed circuit, the dice or support bases for the connection terminals, the housing for the input of the locking bolts or latches for the lid, which facilitates avoiding the use of screws, a flange, the function of which is to prevent the lid from falling when taken of the base box and near the base box, for later use, and closure of the lid on the base box.
  • the electrical connection box for photovoltaic or solar panels is designed to join photovoltaic or solar panels and external plants, being situated within the basis box of a printed circuit, with the terminals (connection terminals) soldered to the printed circuit of the photovoltaic or solar panel, as well as the output connection terminals for other panels or receiver plant.
  • the location of the printed circuit and its positioning allows jumping cables of rectifying diodes to be soldered, in order to protect the photovoltaic or solar panel. Due to the design of the printed circuit, the jumping cables that are soldered vary depending on the type of plant and the power generated, as well as the output voltage of the panels.
  • the printed circuit is attached to the base box by a screw positioned between the two output terminals.
  • the printed circuit remains flat and parallel to the surface of the basis of the box due to the stoppers positioned on the bottom of the base box.
  • the base box allows the output electrical conducts to be made through the presses built into the base box, these being made up of the adjusting nuts and the nut cones, as well as the stopper between nut and cone these elements (electrical wire, nut cone, nut and stopper between nut and cone) facilitate the leaktightness of the electrical connection box.
  • the basis box for electrical connections is closed with the lid that has four locking bolts, latches or gaffs, in order to lodge it in the entry nooks provided on the base box, eliminating closure screws and allowing rapid opening and closing maneuvers.
  • the lid has a rubber joint located along the perimeter of the box, facilitating sealing the box upon closing it. The position that the box has once installed on the panel facilitates the output of water through the existing draining channels, thus avoiding water collecting on the lid.
  • the electrical connection box for photovoltaic or solar panels whose function is to join the photovoltaic or solar panels and external plants.
  • the base box due to its design, allows housing within it the specific printed circuit plate.
  • the configuration of the box includes output holes for the electrical connections, towards other panels or the receiving plant.
  • the threading that the cylinders or bushings have at their exterior areas, the nut (4) is threaded, see fig. 3 .
  • the stopper (23) is situated, as shown in fig. 8 .
  • the walls (9) which support the printed circuit in order to isolate it from the surface of the basis of the box.
  • the base box (1) has housings (12) at each of the angular ends of the base box, in order to allow the entry of the locking bolts or latches (17) positioned on the lid (2), this lid has around its inner perimeter a joint (3), with the guide positioning (20) as shown in fig. 5 , which once closed obtains a leak-proof seal.
  • the design of the box allows the printed circuit to be attached by a screw, located between the two output terminals, as well as the printed circuit remaining flat and parallel to the surface of the base box by way of the stoppers positioned on the bottom of the base box as shown in fig. 1 .
  • the electrical output conducts are made by the presses built into it, configured by the adjusting nuts (4), the nut cones (5) and the stopper (23). These elements (electrical wires, nut cones, nuts and stoppers) together allow the sealing and isolation of the elements located within the base box.
  • the base box (1) of electrical connections in its entirety is closed by the lid (2).
  • This lid (2) includes locking bolts, latches (17), or gaffs, which are lodged in the housings (12) that are positioned in the base box, this allows screws to be eliminated, as well as quick maneuvers of opening and closing the box.
  • the lid (2) has four locking bolts or latches (17) lodged in the appropriate housings (12) in the base box.
  • the lid (2) includes a ridge (19) with a reference point for locating a rubber joint (3) along its entire perimeter, which, once positioned on the base box and closed obtains its leak proof sealing. Once installed on the panel there exist drainage channels in the box in order to conduct water and thus avoid water collecting on the lid.
  • the different elements that make up the box of electrical connections are made of the following materials.
  • the flange that joins the lid and the base box is polyamide.
