DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. On the contrary, the embodiments of the present invention include all changes, modifications, and equivalents that fall within the spirit and connotation of the appended claims.
[0029] The photovoltaic module frame of the embodiment of the utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the photovoltaic assembly frame of the embodiment of the utility model includes a frame assembly 10 , and the frame assembly 10 includes an outer frame 101 , a photovoltaic panel 102 , a clamping mechanism 103 and a limiting mechanism 104 .
[0031] The photovoltaic panel 102 is arranged in the outer frame 101, and the clamping mechanism 103 is arranged at the head end of the outer frame 101. The limiting mechanism 104 is arranged at the tail end of the outer frame 101, and two adjacent groups of outer frames 101 are connected, and the clamping mechanism 103 and the limiting mechanism 104 on the opposite end faces of the two adjacent groups of outer frames 101 are connected.
[0032] It should be noted that the multiple frame assemblies 10 have the same size and shape, the photovoltaic panel 102 is installed on the outer frame 101, and a waterproof adhesive strip (not shown in the figure) is provided at the connection between the photovoltaic panel 102 and the outer frame 101. Two adjacent outer frames 101 are assembled together by the adjacent clamping mechanism 103 and the limiting mechanism 104.
[0033] Specifically, when installing the photovoltaic module, the clamping mechanism 103 and the limiting mechanism 104 on two adjacent outer frames 101 are connected and matched, and the clamping mechanism 103 and the limiting mechanism 104 are matched and matched to connect and fix the two adjacent outer frames 101, and form the water guide groove 105. Therefore, there is no need to connect the water guide groove externally during assembly, which is convenient to assemble and has good water conduction performance.
[0034] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the clamping mechanism 103 includes an outer clamping plate 1031 , a positioning hole 1032 and a sealing component 1033 .
[0035] The outer card plate 1031 is arranged at the head end of the outer frame 101 , there are multiple groups of positioning holes 1032 , and the multiple groups of positioning holes 1032 are respectively opened on the outer card plate 1031 , and the sealing component 1033 is arranged on the outer card plate 1031 and the outer frame 101 .
[0036] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the outer card plate 1031 and the outer frame 101 are an integrated structure, the sealing component 1033 is respectively adhered to the opposite end faces of the outer card plate 1031 and the outer frame 101 by glue, and the sealing component 1033 is located as a whole in the interlayer of the opposite end faces of the outer card plate 1031 and the outer frame 101.
[0037] Furthermore, the length of the sealing component 1033 is set according to the tightness of the connection between the outer card plate 1031 and the limit plate 1041. For example, when the outer card plate 1031 and the limit plate 1041 are connected seamlessly, the sealing component 1033 only needs to be arranged at the port positions on both sides of the outer frame 101. When there is a gap between the outer card plate 1031 and the limit plate 1041, the length of the sealing component 1033 is the same as the length of the outer card plate 1031.
[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the limiting mechanism 104 includes a limiting plate 1041 and a positioning pin 1042 .
[0039] Among them, the limiting plate 1041 is arranged at the tail end of the outer frame 101, the limiting plate 1041 and the outer frame 101 are an integrated structure, there are multiple groups of positioning pins 1042, and the multiple groups of positioning pins 1042 are respectively arranged on the limiting plate 1041, and the positions of the positioning pins 1042 and the positioning holes 1032 correspond to each other.
[0040] It should be noted that the length of the limit plate 1041 is the same as that of the outer card plate 1031, and the position of the positioning pin 1042 on the limit plate 1041 is the same as that of the positioning hole 1032 on the outer card plate 1031. The number of the positioning pins 1042 and the positioning holes 1032 is designed according to the actual situation and is not specifically limited here. When the limit plate 1041 is engaged with the outer card plate 1031, the positioning pin 1042 is limited and the positioning hole 1032 is matched and docked, so that the adjacent two outer frames 101 are fixed after docking, and are not easily misaligned during assembly.
[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the sealing component 1033 is a rubber gasket, and one end of the sealing component 1033 is flush with the front and rear ports of the outer frame 101 respectively.
[0042] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the sealing component 1033 is selected from any one of a foam pad, a plastic pad and an asbestos pad, and is designed according to actual conditions, and is not specifically limited here. One end of the sealing component 1033 is flush with the ports on both sides of the outer frame 101, and the sealing component 1033 is arranged in the interlayer between the outer frame 101 and the outer card plate 1031, and when the outer card plate 1031 and the limiting plate 1041 are assembled and matched, there is good sealing and aesthetics.
[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the sealing component 1033 and the limiting mechanism 104 are connected by interference fit, and the surface of the sealing component 1033 has anti-slip grooves in a linear array.
[0044] It should be noted that the interference fit connection plays a good waterproof and dustproof effect when the limit mechanism 104 and the sealing component 1033 are connected. The anti-slip pattern is provided to prevent dislocation during installation and is more stable in daily use. The shape of the anti-slip pattern is designed according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited here.
[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the limiting plate 1041 is a concave plate, the outer clamping plate 1031 is L-shaped, and the height of the limiting plate 1041 and the outer clamping plate 1031 connected is equal to the height of the outer frame 101. The width of the bottom of the limiting plate 1041 is greater than the wall thickness of the outer clamping plate 1031, and the bottom of the limiting plate 1041 is separated by the outer clamping plate 1031 to form a water guide groove 105.
[0046] It should be noted that the height of the connection between the limiting plate 1041 and the outer clamping plate 1031 is the same as the height of the outer frame 101, so that when the photovoltaic components are assembled and installed, good flatness is guaranteed and the appearance is more beautiful.
[0047] The photovoltaic module frame installation process of the utility model is as follows: when installing the photovoltaic module, the relative snap-in mechanisms 103 and limiting mechanisms 104 on two adjacent outer frames 101 are connected and matched, and the snap-in mechanisms 103 and limiting mechanisms 104 are matched and matched to connect and fix the two adjacent outer frames 101, while forming a water guide groove 105.
[0048] The specific installation process is as follows: the clamping mechanism 103 and the limiting mechanism 104 are connected in a limiting manner, and the outer clamping plate 1031 and the limiting plate 1041 are matched. During the installation, the positioning pin 1042 and the positioning hole 1032 are docked, so as to quickly align and install, complete the installation of the photovoltaic components in the same column and form a transverse water guide groove. For the installation of photovoltaic components between columns, the two sides of the outer frame 101 are smooth surfaces and are connected and installed through the longitudinal water guide groove. During installation, the sealing component 1033 is used to prevent external dust and water from entering, and rainwater is discharged through the water guide groove 105. Therefore, there is no need to connect an external transverse water guide groove during assembly, which is convenient to assemble and has good water conduction performance.
[0049] In summary, the photovoltaic module frame of the embodiment of the utility model adopts a design in which the photovoltaic module and the frame are integrally formed. The frame on the photovoltaic module is installed and docked to form a water guide groove, and no external transverse water guide groove is required, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the photovoltaic module and effectively preventing water leakage and sediment deposition.
