To facilitate the installation of the solar panel on a bracket, the solar panel is generally installed in a frame of the solar panel, and the solar panel is protected and installed through the frame.

[0003] However, in rainy days or when frosting, rainwater is likely to accumulate on the frame for a long time. The rainwater that accumulates on the frame for a long time is likely to damage the frame and the solar panel, affecting the working efficiency of the solar panel.

[0004] Currently, in order to facilitate drainage of the frame, water outlet holes are generally pre-opened on the frame. However, during the long-term operation of the existing frame, the water outlet holes of the frame are easily blocked by dust or other floating light debris. As a result, the drainage effect is poor, and even water accumulation occurs. Utility Model Content

[0030] The following further describes the present application in detail Figures 1-5 in conjunction with the attached

[0031] The embodiment of the present application discloses a frame for a solar panel.

[0032] A frame for a solar panel includes a frame 1 and a fairing 2. The frame 1 is arranged in a zigzag shape, and the side edges of the solar panel 4 are embedded inside the frame 1. The inside of the frame 1 is hollow, and a water inlet 11 is opened at the bottom of the inner ring wall of the frame 1, and a water outlet 12 is opened on the outer ring wall of the frame 1. The fairing 2 is installed on the vertical side of the frame 1 through a mounting member 3, and the fairing 2 communicates with the inside of the frame 1.

[0033] During the operation of the frame 1, the outside air flow is diverted to the inside of the frame 1 through the fairing 2 and discharged from the water inlet 11. The sundries on the drainage path are blown away by the air flow to facilitate the drainage of the frame 1. At the same time, when the air flow is discharged from the water inlet 11, the air flow acts on the solar panel 4, and the solar panel 4 is cooled by the air flow, reducing the possibility of damage to the components inside the solar panel 4 due to overheating. At the same time, the air flow blows away the dust attached to the solar panel 4, further improving the power generation efficiency of the solar panel 4.

[0034] Both the water inlet 11 and the water outlet 12 are provided with two. The two water inlets 11 are located in the middle of the frame 1, and the two water outlets 12 are located at both ends of the frame 1.

[0035] A first deflector 13 is fixedly installed at a position inside the frame 1 close to the water inlet 11, and one end of the first deflector 13 close to the water inlet 11 is inclined towards the water inlet 11. A second deflector 14 is fixedly installed at a position inside the frame 1 close to the water outlet 12, and one end of the second deflector 14 close to the first deflector 13 is inclined downwards.

[0036] When the air flow flows inside the frame 1, the first deflector 13 and the second deflector 14 cooperate with each other to guide the air flow, so that the air flow is discharged from the water inlet 11, reducing the possibility of the gas being directly discharged from the water outlet 12, and improving the effect of blowing away the sundries at the water inlet 11 by the air flow.

[0037] While guiding the air flow, the first deflector 13 guides the water flow to the water outlet 12, improving the drainage efficiency.

[0038] In order to further facilitate drainage, the position of the inner ring wall of the frame 1 close to the water inlet 11 is inclined downward. At the same time, in order to facilitate blowing away the impurities, the top of the inner ring wall of the frame 1 is inclined towards the solar panel 4. The inclined frame 1 guides the impurities driven by the air flow, further increasing the possibility of blowing away the impurities from the solar panel 4.

[0039] The mounting member 3 includes a mounting groove 31, a fixture 32, and a limiting unit 33. The fixture 32 is slidably mounted inside the mounting groove 31, and the limiting unit 33 is used to limit the position of the fixture 32 inside the mounting groove 31. The mounting groove 31 and the frame 1 are inserted and matched with each other.

[0040] The fixture 32 includes a first jaw 321 and a second jaw 322, and both the first jaw 321 and the second jaw 322 are slidably mounted inside the mounting groove 31.

[0041] There are two limiting units 33, and the two limiting units 33 are respectively located at both ends of the mounting groove 31. Each limiting unit 33 includes a limiting rod. The length direction of the limiting rod is the same as the length direction of the mounting groove 31. The limiting rod penetrates through the mounting groove 31, and the limiting rod is threadedly connected to the end of the mounting groove 31. The end of the limiting rod abuts against the fixture 32.

[0042] A first placement groove 15 is provided at the top of the frame 1, and a second placement groove 16 is provided at the bottom of the frame 1. The first jaw 321 and the first placement groove 15 are inserted and matched with each other, and the second jaw 322 and the second placement groove 16 are inserted and matched with each other.

[0043] When fixing the mounting member 3 on the frame 1, place the frame 1 inside the mounting groove 31, and make the frame 1 abut against the inner wall of the mounting groove 31. Make the first jaw 321 and the second jaw 322 slide inside the mounting groove 31, and make the first jaw 321 placed inside the first placement groove 15 and the second jaw 322 placed inside the second placement groove 16. Then, rotate the limiting rod to limit the first jaw 321 and the second jaw 322, improving the convenience of fixing the mounting member 3 and the adaptability to the size of the frame 1.

[0044] An opening 311 is provided on one side of the mounting groove 31 close to the flow guide cover 2, and a communication port 17 is provided at the position of the opening 311 of the frame 1. The flow guide cover 2 is hermetically and fixedly mounted on the side of the groove wall of the mounting groove 31 away from the frame 1, and the flow guide cover 2 is located close to the opening 311 of the mounting groove 31.

[0045] A number of third flow guide plates 21 are also fixedly mounted on the flow guide cover 2. The side of the third flow guide plate 21 close to the frame 1 is inclined downward to facilitate the diversion of the air flow.

[0046] In order to reduce the entry of dust and other sundries into the frame 1, a filter screen is also fixedly mounted at the flow guide cover 2.

[0047] The implementation principle of a frame for a solar panel in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: When installing the fairing 2 on the frame 1, place the frame 1 inside the installation groove 31, and make the frame 1 contact the inner wall of the installation groove 31, so that the first clamping jaw 321 and the second clamping jaw 322 slide inside the installation groove 31, and place the first clamping jaw 321 inside the first placement groove 15 and the second clamping jaw 322 inside the second placement groove 16. Then, rotate the limit rod to limit the first clamping jaw 321 and the second clamping jaw 322 through the limit rod, so as to complete the installation of the fairing 2. When the air flow passes through the fairing 2 and flows inside the frame 1, the first guide plate 13, the second guide plate 14 and the third guide plate 21 cooperate with each other to guide the air flow, so that the air flow is discharged from the water inlet 11, reducing the possibility that the gas is directly discharged from the water outlet 12, thereby improving the effect of blowing away the sundries blocked at the water inlet 11. After the air flow blows out from the water inlet 11, the air flow acts on the solar panel 4, dissipating heat from the solar panel 4 through the air flow, reducing the possibility that the components inside the solar panel 4 are damaged due to overheating of the solar panel 4. At the same time, the air flow blows away the dust attached to the solar panel 4, further improving the power generation efficiency of the solar panel 4. At the same time, the inclined frame 1 guides the impurities driven by the air flow, further increasing the possibility of removing the impurities from the solar panel 4.

[0048] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
