Definitions
- the invention relates to a mechanical connecting element and an electrical connector and a connection arrangement for solar cell modules.
- Framed photovoltaic modules are usually attached to carrier systems by means of screw terminals. Usually stainless steel clamps are used. The wiring of the modules with each other is usually done by means of DC cables. These hang in loops under the modules or are attached to the frame with cable ties.
- a clamp for fastening and simultaneous electrical potential connection of framed photovoltaic modules on suitable rail profiles is disclosed, for example, in DE 20 2005009 883 U1.
- US 2007/0212935 AI describes a mounting clip with integrated grounding device for photovoltaic modules.
- Solar cell modules which is characterized in that an electrically conductive contact is laid in the interior of the module.
- a mechanical connecting element with the features of claim 1 is provided according to a first aspect.
- This connecting element allows a mechanically highly stable, less damage-sensitive and also cost-effective connection of framed solar cell modules.
- the free length of the first profile leg is equal to the distance between the first and second extension and / or the thickness of the profile base equal to the thickness of the second extension.
- the profile base and the first and second extensions extend at right angles to the first and second profile legs.
- the proposed connecting element is made of a metal, in particular as an extruded part made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy. This provides significant cost advantages over the use of stainless steel.
- an electrical connector for solar cell modules is proposed, designed as a plastic profile part with an embedded conductor having at its ends exposed contact portions. In this electrical connector projections are formed in the vicinity of the contact portions, which for engaging and insulating enclosing terminal contacts, special contact pins on the
- this connector has the basic cross-sectional shape of a "U”, with the embedded conductor extending from the first leg of the "U” across the base to the second leg and exposing its contact portions in the first and second legs.
- extensions for engagement and for positive fastening of the connector to a mechanical connecting element of two solar cell modules are integrally formed thereon, more particularly on the inside of the base of the "U".
- a further embodiment is characterized in that two conductors are embedded in the plastic profile part, each having at both ends exposed contact portions in the vicinity of the plastic profile part projections for engagement and insulating enclosing pins are formed.
- Inexpensive, easy to handle and reliable in continuous use is in particular a version as an injection molded part with molded conductor.
- This can consist of an injection-molded plastic material which has been established for cost-effective electrical applications and which has good insulation properties under the typical conditions of use of a photovoltaic module.
- a novel solar cell module is proposed with a regular arrangement of solar cells on a module carrier and rear connection contacts for connection to further solar cell modules or a feed terminal, wherein the connection contacts on two opposite sides, especially longitudinal sides, arranged the module carrier and are designed as plug contacts.
- the novel topology makes it possible to dispense with the known, loose-hanging cable connections or other complex and fault-prone module connectors and helps to create low-cost solar cell assemblies that are less prone to disturbances caused by wind forces, people or animals can.
- the plug contacts have perpendicular to the surface of the module carrier aligned engagement sections.
- a return conductor is arranged on the module carrier and a plug contact for plus or minus and a return conductor is provided on each of the opposite sides.
- connection arrangement which combines several aspects of the invention is the subject matter of claim 13.
- each pair of telescoped connecting elements is associated with a pair of electrical connectors to the plus-minus connection or to the return conductor connection.
- FIG. 1 is a connecting element according to an embodiment of
- FIG. 2 shows the connection of two framed solar cell modules by means of two connecting elements according to FIG. 1 and an electrical connector according to a further embodiment of the invention
- Fig. 3 is a schematic representation of a solar cell module rear side according to an embodiment of the invention.
- Fig. 4 is a schematic representation of the electrical connections of two solar cell modules as a plan view of the rear sides thereof.
- Fig. 1 shows a cross-sectional view of an aluminum profile 1 as an embodiment and the connecting element according to the invention for solar cell modules, which has a first and a second profile legs 3, 5 and a respective connecting at the end of the two legs profile base 7.
- the profile base 7 closes on the first profile leg 3 with its profiläußerer
- a second extension 11 is formed, which points in the same direction as the first extension.
- the first and second profile legs 3, 5 extend parallel to one another and have a spacing (interspace) 13 corresponding to the width of the first profile leg, and the first and second extensions have a spacing (interspace) 15 corresponding to the thickness of a solar cell module carrier (not shown)
- a recess 17, 19 with an undercut for the form-fitting engagement of an outer profile part (not shown here) is formed both in the outer profile surface of the first and the second extension. 2 shows, likewise in a cross-sectional representation, a connecting region of a solar cell system 21 in which two module carriers 23 are mechanically connected to one another by means of two connecting elements 1 according to FIG.
- plug contacts are arranged near their respective edge region, in each case a return conductor contact (contact pin) 27 and (perpendicular to the plane of this back to the drawing and therefore not visible in the figure) on one of the two carriers a plus contact and on the other a minus contact.
- the contact pins are each surrounded by a plastic molded body 29, on the one hand has an insulating effect and on the other form-fitting and frictionally engaged in corresponding recesses of an associated connector (see below).
- a return conductor connecting portion 33 is embedded in an injection molded case 35, and similarly (in another sectional plane not lying in the plane of the drawing), plus-minus connector portion is molded Plus minus plug contacts of the two module carrier connects to each other when the connector 25 is pressed onto the back of the module carrier 23 and thus on the plug contact assemblies.
- the cross-sectional basic shape of the connector 25 is that of a "U.” At the free ends of the two legs of the "U” two pairs of inner and outer projections 35a, 35b are formed, which in the assembled state of
- Connector cause isolation of each recorded between them plug contact.
- On the inside of the base of the "U" two further, inwardly bent projections 35 c, 35 d are formed, which upon pressing the electrical connector to the back of the module carrier (and thus at the same time on the outer surfaces of the two interconnected mechanical fasteners 1) engage in the recesses 17, 19 of the connecting elements. This positive engagement holds the
- a profile part 37 is shown, which is provided in the same way with fixing projections 37a, 37b, as the connector 25 and thereby on the opposite side of the connector 25 of the nested fasteners 1 is held.
- This may be a decorative or a functional element whose possible
- FIG. 3 shows a top view of the rear side of the topology of a novel solar cell module 39 having a plurality of solar cells 41 regularly arranged on a module carrier 23.
