Patent ID: 8366471

Claim:
A connection and junction box ( 1 ) for a photovoltaic solar module ( 24 ) having flexible flat conductor bands ( 28 ) protruding from the surface of the solar module, wherein the connection and junction box ( 1 ) has an insertion mouth ( 26 ) at its side in mounted state facing the solar module ( 24 ) for receiving at least one of the flexible flat conductor bands ( 28 ) of the solar module ( 24 ), and comprising a housing ( 2 ) for attaching to the solar module ( 24 ) and a connection device ( 20 ) positioned in the housing ( 2 ) for engaging the flexible flat conductor band ( 28 ), wherein the connection device ( 20 ) has an electrical contact clamp ( 22 ) for establishing a clamp contact with the flexible flat conductor band ( 28 ), and wherein a deflection arm ( 21 ) bends the flexible flat conductor band ( 28 ) towards the contact clamp ( 22 ) after inserting through the insertion mouth ( 26 ) into the connection and junction box ( 1 ) such that after bending, the flexible flat conductor band is electrically contactable by means of the contact clamp ( 22 ), wherein the housing ( 2 ) is movable with respect to the connection device ( 20 ), and a second actuation element ( 18 ) is arranged at the housing ( 2 ), said second actuating element closing the contact clamp ( 22 ) in response to a movement of the housing ( 2 ) with respect to the connection device ( 20 ), in order to establish the electrical contact with the flat conductor band ( 28 ), and wherein the housing ( 2 ) and the connection device ( 20 ) are slideable with respect to each other by means of a sliding device ( 14 , 15 ), and, when attaching the connection and junction box to the solar module ( 24 ), the housing ( 2 ) is slid with respect to the connection device ( 20 ), by what a first actuation element ( 16 ) actuates the deflection arm ( 21 ) during the attaching process, and the second actuation element ( 18 ) closes the contact clamp ( 22 ), in order to establish the electric contact with the flat conductor band ( 28 ).
