Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steel frame angle code connection structures, in particular to a steel frame angle code connection structure for a photovoltaic module. Background Art

[0002] At present, as a clean energy, photovoltaic power generation is highly regarded globally and has received strong support and development. As an indispensable core component of photovoltaic power generation, the important value of photovoltaic modules is self-evident. Currently, photovoltaic modules are divided into two categories: framed and frameless. Among them, framed photovoltaic modules are more recognized and widely adopted in the market because of their higher safety and reliability in applications. The current frames of photovoltaic modules are made of aluminum alloy extruded profiles. Four aluminum frames surround the glass plate of the photovoltaic module in a frame shape, and the four sides of the glass plate are embedded in the grooves of the aluminum frames and fixed with adhesives. With the development of photovoltaic module technology in recent years, the steel frame technology has gradually attracted the attention of the market. The steel frame technology is expected to bring improvements in the performance of future large-sized photovoltaic modules. However, due to the differences in the production processes of steel frames and aluminum frames, it is very difficult to have a simple and reliable angle code connection structure like that of aluminum frames. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is: to solve the problem of low strength and reliability of the angle code connection structure of current steel frame photovoltaic modules, and a steel frame angle code connection structure for a photovoltaic module is provided.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present utility model to solve its technical problems is as follows: A steel frame corner code connection structure for a photovoltaic module, including a long frame and a short frame abutted against one end of the long frame. A connection corner code is installed between the long frame and the short frame. The connection corner code includes a first frame connection end and a second frame connection end. One end of the first frame connection end is fixedly connected to one end of the second frame connection end and they are arranged crosswise. Both the first frame connection end and the second frame connection end include a lower bottom edge and side edges oppositely arranged on both sides of the lower bottom edge. Limit holes are provided on the side edges of the two side edges close to the outer side of the long frame or the short frame. A first notch matching the first frame connection end is provided on the long frame, and the first frame connection end is arranged in the first notch. A second notch matching the second frame connection end is provided on the short frame, and the second frame connection end is arranged in the second notch. A first flanging is provided on one side of the long frame close to the first frame connection end, and the first flanging is folded to the side edge of the first frame connection end. A first protrusion matching the limit hole is provided on the first flanging, and the first protrusion is arranged in the limit hole. A second flanging is provided on one side of the short frame close to the second frame connection end, and the second flanging is folded to the side edge of the second frame connection end. A second protrusion matching the limit hole is provided on the second flanging, and the second protrusion is arranged in the limit hole. Compared with the prior art, the connection corner code and the corresponding long frame and short frame are respectively locked tightly by the first flanging and the second flanging, and are matched with the structure of clamping between the first protrusion on the first flanging and the limit hole, and between the second protrusion and the limit hole, ensuring the connection strength between the steel frame and the connection corner code, the stable and reliable structure, and the accurate size control without easy deformation, and can effectively guarantee the use performance of the product.

[0005] In order to ensure the stable and reliable connection between the connection corner code and the steel frame, in some preferred embodiments, clamping blocks are provided on the other side edges of both the first frame connection end and the second frame connection end, and clamping grooves matching the clamping blocks are provided on both the long frame and the short frame, and the clamping blocks are arranged in the corresponding clamping grooves. Through the cooperation of the clamping blocks on the other side of the connection corner code and the clamping grooves on the corresponding long frame or short frame, the stable and reliable connection between the connection corner code and the steel frame is ensured.

[0006] In order to ensure the connection strength between the clamping block and the connection corner code, in some preferred embodiments, the clamping block is integrally formed with the side edge, and the clamping block is formed by turning outwards from the side edge. The integral formation of the clamping block and the side edge ensures the connection strength between the clamping block and the connection corner code, and the outward turning formation of the clamping block is convenient for manufacturing.

[0007] Due to the cooperation between the clamping block and the clamping groove, it is necessary to horizontally open a clamping groove on the steel frame. The horizontal clamping groove is relatively difficult to process. In order to reduce the difficulty of grooving on the steel frame, in some preferred embodiments, positioning blocks are provided on the other sides of the first frame connection end and the second frame connection end, and there is a gap between the positioning block and the side edge. Positioning grooves matching the positioning blocks are opened on both the long frame and the short frame, and the positioning blocks are arranged in the positioning grooves. Through the cooperation between the positioning blocks on the connecting angle code and the positioning grooves on the steel frame, and the spaced arrangement between the positioning blocks and the side edges, grooves can be cut vertically along the axial direction of the steel frame, which is convenient for manufacturing and processing.

[0008] In order to ensure the connection strength between the positioning block and the connecting angle code, in some preferred embodiments, the positioning block and the side edge are fixedly connected to each other through a connecting block. The side edge, the positioning block, and the connecting block are integrally formed, and the connecting block and the positioning block are formed by folding outward from the side edge. The integral formation of the positioning block, the connecting block, and the side edge ensures the connection strength between the clamping block and the connecting angle code, and the outward folding formation on the clamping block is convenient for manufacturing.

[0009] In order to facilitate the processing of the positioning groove, in some preferred embodiments, the positioning block and the side edge are arranged parallel to each other. The positioning block is arranged parallel to the outside of the side edge, and the positioning groove can be directly opened along the axial direction, which is convenient for the processing of the positioning groove and improves the production efficiency.

[0010] In order to ensure the stable and reliable fixation between the connecting angle code and the steel frame, in some preferred embodiments, the distance of the positioning block along the length direction of the corresponding long frame or short frame is greater than the distance of the connecting block along the length direction of the corresponding long frame or short frame. By making the distance of the positioning block along the length direction of the corresponding long frame or short frame greater than the distance of the connecting block along the length direction of the corresponding long frame or short frame, the connection between the connecting angle code and the steel frame is restricted in all directions except along the axial direction of the steel frame, further ensuring the stable and reliable fixation between the connecting angle code and the steel frame.

[0011] In order to prevent the connecting block from shaking in the positioning groove, in some preferred embodiments, a limiting groove is provided between the connecting block and the positioning block. The limiting groove matches the limiting block formed by the wall thickness at the positioning groove on the corresponding long frame or short frame, and the limiting block is arranged in the corresponding limiting groove. By providing a limiting groove between the positioning block and the connecting block and matching the limiting groove with the limiting block formed by the wall thickness at the positioning groove on the long frame or short frame, the displacement between the connecting angle code and the steel frame is restricted.

[0012] In some preferred embodiments, the first frame connection end and the second frame connection end are integrally formed.

[0013] In some preferred embodiments, the first protrusion and the second protrusion are formed by stamping.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: When the corner code connection structure of the steel frame of the photovoltaic module of the present utility model is in use, the connecting corner code and its corresponding long frame and short frame are respectively clamped and locked through the first flanging and the second flanging, and are clamped by the first protrusion and the limiting hole on the first flanging, as well as the second protrusion and the limiting hole, which ensures the connection strength between the steel frame and the connecting corner code, the structural stability and reliability, and the accurate dimension control without deformation. It can effectively guarantee the use performance of the product and avoid the problem of low strength and reliability of the corner code connection structure of the current steel frame photovoltaic module.
