[0002] With the development of photovoltaic technology, photovoltaic modules are being used more and more widely. A photovoltaic module mainly consists of a photovoltaic laminate and a photovoltaic frame for mounting the laminate.

[0054] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0055] See Figure 1 As shown, a conventional photovoltaic frame (01) is a C-shaped component with laminates fixed on three sides, and photovoltaic frames generally have an A-side (011) structure. When the laminates are installed on this type of photovoltaic frame, the A-side will be higher than the light-receiving surface of the laminates. Due to the obstruction of the A-side, the laminates will accumulate a lot of dust during long-term use. After natural washing by rainwater, dew, etc., the dust will be washed to the area of the laminates near the A-side, causing water accumulation, dust accumulation and other adverse phenomena on the light-receiving surface of the laminates.
[0056] For the above issues, please refer to Figures 2-4As shown, this application provides a photovoltaic module 200, which includes a photovoltaic frame 100 and a laminate 210. The laminate 210 is installed on the photovoltaic frame 100. For example, the laminate 210 is fixed to the photovoltaic frame 100 by means of resting, stacking, etc., to form the photovoltaic module 200.
[0057] The photovoltaic frame 100 includes at least one first frame 110 and at least one second frame 120. The first frame 110 is along a first direction ( Figure 1 As shown in the X direction, the second border 120 extends along the length direction of the first border 110, such as the first direction being the length direction of the first border 110. Figure 1 Extending in the Y direction (as shown), such as the second direction being the length direction of the second frame 120, the first frame 110 is adjacent to the second frame 120 at opposite ends along the first direction, and the second frame 120 is adjacent to the first frame 110 at opposite ends along the second direction. Exemplarily, as in this embodiment, there are two first frames 110 and two second frames 120, and the two first frames 110 and two second frames 120 are assembled to form a rectangular or near-rectangular structure. The first frame 110 and the second frame 120 enclose a receiving space 130, which is used to receive the laminate 210. When the laminate 210 is received within the receiving space 130, the sides of the laminate 210 are fixed to the first frame 110 or the second frame 120 by means of resting, overlapping, etc. A slot 140 is provided at the connection position between the first frame 110 and the second frame 120. If the photovoltaic frame 100 is rectangular or quasi-rectangular, a slot 140 is provided at each of the four diagonal positions of the photovoltaic frame 100. The slot 140 connects to the accommodating space 130. The opening width of the slot 140 near the accommodating space 130 is greater than the opening width of the slot 140 away from the accommodating space 130. Figure 4 As shown, W1 > W2. At least a portion of the slot 140 penetrates the first frame 110 in the second direction; and / or, at least a portion of the slot 140 penetrates the second frame 120 in the first direction. For example, the entire structure of the slot 140 may be located on the first frame 110, and the slot 140 penetrates the first frame 110 only in the second direction; or, the entire structure of the slot 140 may be located on the second frame 120, and the slot 140 penetrates the second frame 120 only in the first direction; or, a portion of the structure of the slot 140 may be located on the first frame 110, and this portion of the slot 140 penetrates the first frame 110 in the second direction, while another portion of the structure of the slot 140 may be located on the second frame 120, and this portion of the slot 140 penetrates the second frame 120 in the first direction.
[0058] Thus, the opening area of the slot 140 near the accommodating space 130 is larger than the opening width of the slot 140 away from the accommodating space 130, and the slot 140 presents a gradual trend. The opening area of the slot 140 near the accommodating space 130 can guide the water and dust accumulated on the light-receiving surface 211 of the laminate 210 to the slot 140, and quickly discharge them through the opening area of the slot 140 away from the accommodating space 130. This accelerates the discharge rate and effect of the water and dust accumulated on the light-receiving surface 211 of the laminate 210, avoids adverse phenomena such as water and dust accumulation on the light-receiving surface 211 of the laminate 210, improves the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic module 200, and effectively avoids the occurrence of hot spots in the photovoltaic module 200.
[0059] In one embodiment, see Figures 2-4 As shown, the slot 140 includes a first region 141 and a second region 142, with the second region 142 connected to the first region 141. Preferably, the slot 140 is an integral structure, with the first region 141 seamlessly connected to the second region 142, preventing the accumulation of water and dust on the light-receiving surface 211 of the laminate 210 from causing a sudden change in the rate of water accumulation at the connection point between the first region 141 and the second region 142. The first region 141 is closer to the accommodating space 130, and the second region 142 is farther from the accommodating space 130. The first region 141 has a first sidewall 1411 on each opposite side, and the second region 142 has a second sidewall 1421 on each opposite side. The slope of the first sidewall 1411 is k1, and the slope of the second sidewall 1421 is k2. .
[0060] Thus, the relationship between the slope k1 of the first sidewall 1411 and the slope k2 of the second sidewall 1421 is set as follows: This makes the first sidewall 1411 forming the first region 141 relatively gentle, and the second sidewall 1421 forming the second region 142 relatively steep. The first sidewall 1411 can guide the water and dust accumulated on the light-receiving surface 211 of the laminate 210 to accumulate in the first region 141, and the second sidewall 1421 can quickly drain the water and dust accumulated in the first region 141. Moreover, the groove 140 has a two-stage gradient structure, so the drainage rate of the water and dust accumulated on the light-receiving surface 211 of the laminate 200 will not change abruptly, which is conducive to the effective drainage of the water and dust accumulated on the light-receiving surface 211 of the laminate 210.
[0061] Further reading Figure 5 As shown, the trough 140 also includes multiple third regions 143 located between the first region 141 and the second region 142. For example, along the discharge direction of accumulated water and ash, the trough 140 sequentially includes the first region 141, multiple third regions 143, and the second region 142. The third regions 143 have third sidewalls 1431 on opposite sides. The slope of the third sidewall 1431 closest to the first region 141 is k.31 The slope of the third sidewall 1431, which is far from the first region 141, is k. 32 ,and .
[0062] Thus, the slope k1 of the first sidewall 1411 and the slope k of multiple third sidewalls 1431 are set. 31 k 32 The relationship between the slope k2 of the second sidewall 1421 and the slope k2 is as follows: The slot 140 is configured as a four-segment, five-segment, or other multi-segment structure. Along the discharge direction of accumulated water and dust, the slot 140 has a gradual change trend from gentle to steep. The accumulated water and dust collected on the light-receiving surface 211 of the laminate 210 will not be affected by sudden changes in rate during the discharge process, and it is not easy for eddies to occur between two adjacent areas, which is conducive to the discharge of accumulated water and dust collected on the light-receiving surface 211 of the laminate 210.
[0063] It should be noted that in other feasible embodiments, the third region 143 may be a single entity, in which case the slot 140 is configured as a three-segment structure. If the slope of the third sidewall 1431 of the third region 143 is defined as k3, then... .
[0064] In one embodiment, see Figures 2-5 As shown, arc-shaped transition portions are provided at the connection points of the first sidewall 1411 and the third sidewall 1431, the connection points of two adjacent third sidewalls 1431, and the connection points of the third sidewall 1431 and the second sidewall 1421. In this way, the arc-shaped transition portions connect adjacent first sidewalls 1411 and third sidewalls 1431, adjacent third sidewalls 1431, and adjacent third sidewalls 1431 and second sidewalls 1421, preventing abrupt changes in the rate of water and dust discharge at the connection points. This stabilizes the discharge rate of water and dust collected on the light-receiving surface 211 of the laminate 210, facilitating the discharge of water and dust from the light-receiving surface 211 of the laminate 210.
[0065] Specifically, see Figures 2-5As shown, the first sidewall 1411 and / or the second sidewall 1421 are curved surfaces. For example, only the outline of the first sidewall 1411 may be curved, or only the outline of the second sidewall 1421 may be curved, or both the outlines of the first sidewall 1411 and the second sidewall 1421 may be curved. Thus, by setting the first sidewall 1411 and / or the second sidewall 1421 as curved surfaces, the curved first sidewall 1411 facilitates the guidance of accumulated water and dust to the first region 141, while the curved second sidewall 1421 facilitates the rapid drainage of accumulated water and dust from the first region 141. Furthermore, the drainage rate of accumulated water and dust does not change abruptly during the drainage process, which is beneficial for the smooth drainage of accumulated water and dust from the light-receiving surface 211 of the laminate 210.
[0066] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the opening width of the slot 140 at the location where it connects with the accommodating space 130 is W, the length of the first sidewall 110 in the first direction is L1, and the length of the second sidewall 120 in the second direction is L2. Wherein, L1 < L2, and ,or, For example, in this embodiment, L1=1134mm, L2=1759mm, then W=7.77mm; or, if L1=1500mm, L2=2000mm, then W=9.74mm or W=8.52mm. This application does not limit the dimensional relationship between W and L1, L2, and the opening width W of the slot 140 can be adaptively set according to the specific parameters of the length L1 of the first border 110 and the length L2 of the second border 120.
[0067] Thus, by limiting the relationship between the opening width W of the slot 140 and the length L1 of the first frame 110 and the length L2 of the second frame 120, the overall structural strength of the photovoltaic frame 100 is guaranteed, and the discharge of accumulated water and dust on the light-receiving surface 211 of the laminate 210 is not affected.
[0068] Further, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in the first direction, the opening length of the slot 140 is C1, and in the second direction, the opening length of the slot 140 is C2. Wherein, ,or, For example, in this embodiment, L1=1134mm, L2=1759mm, then C1=C2=11.5mm; or, if L1=1500mm, L2=2000mm, then C1=C2=17.88mm or C1=C2=13.76mm. This application does not limit the dimensional relationship between C1, C2 and L1, L2, and the opening lengths C1 and C2 of the slot 140 can be adaptively set according to the specific parameters of the length L1 of the first border 110 and the length L2 of the second border 120.
[0069] Thus, by limiting the relationship between the opening lengths C1 and C2 of the slot 140 and the lengths L1 of the first frame 110 and L2 of the second frame 120, the overall structural strength of the photovoltaic frame 100 is guaranteed, and the discharge of accumulated water and dust on the light-receiving surface 211 of the laminate 210 is not affected.
[0070] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, corner brackets 150 are provided at the connection positions of adjacent first frame 110 and second frame 120. The first frame 110 has a first receiving cavity along a first direction, and the second frame 120 has a second receiving cavity along a second direction. The corner bracket 150 includes a bent portion 151 and a first connecting portion 152 and a second connecting portion 153 disposed on opposite sides of the bent portion 151. The first connecting portion 152 is received in the first receiving cavity, and the second connecting portion 153 is received in the second receiving cavity. For example, the first connecting portion 152 is received in the first receiving cavity and connected to the first frame 110 by bolts, and the second connecting portion 153 is received in the second receiving cavity and connected to the second frame 120 by bolts. The corner bracket 150 enables the connection between the first frame 110 and the second frame 120.
[0071] Wherein, the first connecting part 152 and the second connecting part 153 can be either plastic or metal parts, and the bending part 151 is a plastic part. For example, if the first connecting part 152, the second connecting part 153 and the bending part 151 are all plastic parts, the first connecting part 152, the second connecting part 153 and the bending part 151 can be molded from reinforced nylon, polyester materials, polyester hydrocarbon materials, engineering plastics, etc. Since plastic parts are easy to process, it is convenient for the bending process of the bending part 151. The bending part 151 can be injection molded with the first connecting part 152 and the second connecting part 153, simplifying the molding process of the corner bracket 150, reducing the molding cost of the corner bracket 150, and the plastic part can buffer the impact force received by the photovoltaic frame 100. The bending part 151 can be formed into an arc contour to improve the appearance. For example, the first connecting part 152 and the second connecting part 153 are both metal parts, while the bent part 151 is a plastic part. The first connecting part 152 and the second connecting part 153 can be formed from aluminum alloy, stainless steel, etc. The first connecting part 152 and the second connecting part 153 formed from metal materials have high structural strength, which can ensure the structural strength of the corner bracket 150 and the connection strength between the corner bracket 150 and the first frame 110 and the second frame 120. The bent part 151 formed from plastic materials is easy to process and can buffer the impact force on the photovoltaic frame 100. The bent part 151 can be formed into an arc contour to beautify the appearance.
[0072] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, both the first frame 110 and the second frame 120 include a pressing portion 160, which is pressed onto the light-receiving surface 211 of the laminate 210 to ensure the installation stability of the laminate 210 on the photovoltaic frame 100. In the third direction of the photovoltaic frame 100 (… Figure 2 In the Z direction shown, if the third direction is the thickness direction of the first frame 110 and the second frame 120, the top of the corner code 150 is lower than the top of the pressing part 160. The corner code 150 and the pressing part 160 form a groove 140. Since the top of the corner code 150 is lower than the top of the pressing part 160, on the one hand, the corner code 150 can cooperate with the pressing part 160 to form a groove 140. On the other hand, the corner code 150 will not affect the drainage effect of water and dust accumulation at the groove 140 position.
[0073] The height difference H between the top of the corner bracket 150 and the top of the pressing part 160 is 3mm ≤ H ≤ 7mm. H can be any one of 3mm, 3.5mm, 4mm, 4.5mm, 5mm, 5.5mm, 6mm, 6.5mm, or 7mm. Limiting the height difference H between the top of the corner bracket 150 and the top of the pressing part 160 to the above range ensures the connection strength between the first frame 110 and the second frame 120 while preventing the corner bracket 150 from affecting the drainage of water and dust at the slot 140.
[0074] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the pressing part 160 has an adhesive layer that can be adhered to the laminate 210. On the one hand, the adhesive layer is used to fix the laminate 210 and the photovoltaic frame 100, improving the installation stability of the laminate 210 and the photovoltaic frame 100. On the other hand, since the adhesive layer can deform, it will not interfere with the installation of the laminate 210, and it can fill the gap between the laminate 210 and the photovoltaic frame 100, preventing water and dust from seeping into the interior of the photovoltaic frame 100. The adhesive layer, together with the slot 140, can ensure that water and dust are discharged from the slot 140, thereby improving the drainage effect of water and dust on the light-receiving surface 211 of the laminate 210.
[0075] The thickness of the adhesive layer is D, and 0.1mm ≤ D ≤ 0.5mm. D can be any of the following: 0.1mm, 0.15mm, 0.2mm, 0.25mm, 0.3mm, 0.35mm, 0.4mm, 0.45mm, or 0.5mm. Limiting the adhesive layer thickness D to this range effectively fills the gap between the laminate 210 and the photovoltaic frame 100 without causing delamination or failure of the adhesive layer due to prolonged use.
[0076] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the bending portion 151 has a bearing end 1511 and an extending end 1512 extending toward the pressing portion 160. The laminate 210 is supported by the bearing end 1511, which fixes the laminate 210 and improves the installation stability of the laminate 210. The extending end 1512 covers the side wall of the laminate 210, which can protect the laminate 210 from damage or scratches during handling and installation, and also improve the appearance of the photovoltaic module 200. In the third direction, the top of the extending end 1512 is lower than or flush with the light-receiving surface 211 of the laminate 210, so that the corner bracket 150 will not interfere with the drainage of water and dust accumulated on the light-receiving surface 211 of the laminate 210.
[0077] Furthermore, in one embodiment, see [reference] Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 9 As shown, both the first frame 110 and the second frame 120 have an extension 170 on one side of their adjacent ends. The extension 170 extends in either a first or second direction, adjacent to the protruding end 1512, and flush with the top of the protruding end 1512. Thus, by having the extension 170 adjacent to the protruding end 1512, a seamless connection between the first frame 110, the corner bracket 150, and the second frame 120 is ensured, which is beneficial for the drainage of water and dust accumulated at the slot 140. Furthermore, since the extension 170 is flush with the top of the protruding end 1512, it will not interfere with the drainage of water and dust accumulated at the slot 140.
[0078] In another embodiment, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 10 As shown, the first frame 110 and the second frame 120 each have an adjacent segment 180 on one side of their adjacent ends. The adjacent segment 180 extends in a third direction and connects to the protruding end 1512. In this embodiment, the adjacent segment 180 is a sidewall on one side of the end of the first frame 110 or the second frame 120. By connecting the protruding end 1512 through the adjacent segment 180, a seamless connection between the first frame 110, the corner bracket 150 and the second frame 120 can be ensured. This is beneficial for the drainage of water and dust accumulated at the slot 140. Furthermore, the adjacent segment 180 does not require CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining, reducing the molding cost of the photovoltaic frame 100.
[0079] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the direction parallel to the light-receiving surface 211 of the laminate 210, the distance between the edge of the light-receiving surface 211 of the laminate 210 and the first frame 110 or the second frame 120 is S1, and the distance between the edge of the backlight surface 212 of the laminate 210 and the first frame 110 or the second frame 120 is S2. For example, if the first frame 110 and the second frame 120 have inclined surfaces on their sidewalls near the accommodating space 130, and when the laminate 210 is mounted on the photovoltaic frame 100, the inclined surfaces are inclined relative to the sidewalls of the laminate 210, and in the direction parallel to the light-receiving surface 211 of the laminate 210, S1 ≥ S2. Thus, when there is an installation gap between the photovoltaic frame 100 and the laminate 210, the inclined surface can guide the water and dust on the light-receiving surface 211 of the laminate 210 to be quickly discharged to the slot 140 position, which is conducive to the smooth discharge of the water and dust accumulated on the light-receiving surface 211 of the laminate 210 in the future, and improves the discharge effect of the water and dust accumulated on the light-receiving surface 211 of the laminate 210.
[0080] Wherein, 2mm≤S1≤5mm, 0.1mm≤S2≤2mm. For example, S1 can be any one of 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm, 4mm, 4.5mm, and 5mm, and S2 can be any one of 0.1mm, 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 0.8mm, 1mm, 1.3mm, 1.5mm, 1.8mm, and 2mm. Limiting S1 and S2 to the above ranges can ensure the installation stability of the laminate 210 on the photovoltaic frame 100, and also ensure that there is a sufficient gap between the photovoltaic frame 100 and the sidewall of the laminate 210 to guide the water and dust accumulated on the light-receiving surface 211 of the laminate 210 to be smoothly discharged to the slot 140 position.
[0081] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
