Universal solar module box with replaceable diode block
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11888440B2) discloses a universal solar module box designed to be mounted on a solar module. The innovative design includes a junction box platform with a base plate, blade block, and cover, along with a singular modular diode block that serves as a replaceable unit. The plug sub-assembly, comprising a plug block and cable block, provides weather protection to the diode block, blade block, and cables, securing them mechanically and electrically to output cables. The modular diode block contains multiple diodes, allowing for individual replacement in case of failure, with the design aimed at protecting solar cells on the module.
Furthermore, the patent details the construction of the universal solar module box, emphasizing the replaceable nature of the singular modular diode block and the plug sub-assembly's role in optimizing or inverting solar module output power. The design features connectors for external connections, heat dissipating materials, and a structure for attaching to various plug sub-assemblies. The base plate's attachment to the solar module, along with the blade block's electrical connections, ensures efficient and reliable operation. Overall, the patent highlights a comprehensive and adaptable solution for enhancing the performance and maintenance of solar modules through innovative modular components and protective features.
