Detailed Embodiments

[0029] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, in which the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary only for explaining the present application and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0030] Reference will be made below to Figures 1 - 3 describe the photovoltaic sound barrier and the adapter 2 according to the embodiments of the present application.

[0031] The photovoltaic sound barrier of the present application is a sound barrier structure integrating photovoltaic technology, which can effectively reduce noise pollution and at the same time generate clean energy. The adapter is applied to the photovoltaic sound barrier of the embodiments of the present application, and the adapter is used to connect the photovoltaic module and the support structure of the photovoltaic sound barrier.

[0032] As Figure 1As shown in the figure, the photovoltaic sound barrier according to the embodiment of the present application includes: a support structure 1, an adapter 2, and a photovoltaic module 3; the support structure 1 forms an installation cavity 11 with an opening; the adapter 2 is installed in the installation cavity 11, and the adapter 2 has an installation groove 21, and the orientation of the notch of the installation groove 21 is the same as the orientation of the opening of the installation cavity 11; the frame 31 of the photovoltaic module 3 is installed in the installation groove 21.

[0033] Among them, the support structure 1 is used to support and fix the photovoltaic module 3. The support structure 1 can be the support column of a conventional sound barrier. The support structures 1 can be distributed at intervals along the extension direction of the road. The cooperation between the support structure 1 and the photovoltaic module 3 can form a retaining wall on the side of the road perpendicular to the road surface, and the cooperation between the support structure 1 and the photovoltaic module 3 can also be located above the road to form a ceiling on the top of the road.

[0034] The support structure 1 forms an installation cavity 11 with an opening. The installation cavity 11 provides an installation space for the adapter 2. The adapter 2 is used to connect the photovoltaic module 3 and the support structure 1 of the photovoltaic sound barrier. The adapter 2 is located in the installation cavity 11. The adapter 2 can be installed in the installation cavity 11 by means of snap connection, welding, plug-in connection, etc. The frame 31 of the photovoltaic module 3 is installed in the installation groove 21. The frame 31 of the photovoltaic module 3 can be installed in the installation groove 21 by means of snap connection or plug-in connection, etc.

[0035] The orientation of the notch of the installation groove 21 is the same as the orientation of the opening of the installation cavity 11, that is, the notch of the installation groove 21 and the opening of the installation cavity 11 are in the same direction, which is convenient for the frame 31 of the photovoltaic module 3 to pass through the opening of the installation cavity 11 and the notch of the installation groove 21 in sequence for assembly with the installation groove 21.

[0036] The function of the adapter 2 is to fix the photovoltaic module 3 on the support structure 1 and make the connection between the photovoltaic module 3 and the support structure 1 stable.

[0037] The photovoltaic module 3 is used to convert solar energy into electrical energy. The photovoltaic module 3 can be a photovoltaic module in a conventional frame form. By setting the adapter 2, the support structure 1 with a conventional structure and the frame 31 of the photovoltaic module 3 with a conventional structure can be assembled without improving the existing support structure 1 and the frame 31 of the photovoltaic module 3, which is convenient for assembly and reduces costs.

[0038] In the related art, most of them are based on the specifications of the support structure to customize the corresponding size of the photovoltaic laminate, that is, the conventional support structure cannot be directly assembled with the conventional photovoltaic module, resulting in a relatively high construction cost of the photovoltaic sound barrier and inconvenient use.

[0039] According to the photovoltaic sound barrier provided by the embodiments of the present application, by arranging an adapter 2 between the support structure 1 and the photovoltaic module 3, the adapter 2 can achieve the assembly of the frame 31 of the photovoltaic module 3 with the conventional structure and the support structure 1, without improving the existing support structure and the frame of the photovoltaic module, which is convenient for assembly and reduces costs.

[0040] In some embodiments, the photovoltaic sound barrier formed by the support structure 1 and the photovoltaic module 3 can be selectively assembled according to the specific usage scenario. For example, the photovoltaic sound barrier can be a retaining wall on the side of the road, or a ceiling, or a combination of a retaining wall and a ceiling. The orientation of the open end of the installation cavity 11 is set according to the installation position of the photovoltaic sound barrier relative to the road.

[0041] Among them, the support structure 1 has at least the following two forms:

[0042] Firstly, the support structure 1 extends vertically, the open end of the installation cavity 11 opens towards the extension direction of the road, and the photovoltaic module 3 forms a retaining wall on the side.

[0043] Among them, the support structure 1 is parallel to the normal of the road, the open end of the installation cavity 11 opens towards the extension direction of the road, multiple laminates are arranged along the extension direction of the road, and the normal of the laminate can be perpendicular or intersect with the normal of the road surface. The laminate 32 of the photovoltaic module 3 forms a retaining wall on the side.

[0044] In this embodiment, the open end of the installation cavity 11 opens towards the adjacent vertically extending support structure 1, and the two side frames 31 of the photovoltaic module 3 arranged along the extension direction of the road are connected to the support structure 1.

[0045] Secondly, the support structure 1 extends along the extension direction of the road, the open end of the installation cavity 11 opens towards the adjacent support structure 1, the photovoltaic module 3 can form a retaining wall on the side, or the photovoltaic module 3 can form a ceiling, or the photovoltaic module 3 can form a retaining wall and a ceiling.

[0046] In this embodiment, the support structure 1 extends along the extension direction of the road, the two side frames 31 of the photovoltaic module 3 located perpendicular to the extension direction of the road are connected to the support structure 1, multiple laminates 32 are arranged along the extension direction of the support structure 1, the vertically arranged laminates 32 form a retaining wall on the side, and the laminates 32 arranged above the vertically arranged laminates 32 and inclined or horizontal relative to the road surface form a ceiling.

[0047] Thirdly, the support structure 1 includes two types. One support structure 1 extends vertically, the open end of the installation cavity 11 opens towards the extension direction of the road, and the photovoltaic module 3 forms a retaining wall on the side. The other support structure 1 extends along the extension direction of the road, the open end of the installation cavity 11 opens towards the adjacent support structure 1, and the photovoltaic module 3 forms a ceiling.

[0048] In this embodiment, through the above combination setting, the production cost of making special-shaped support structures 1 can be reduced.

[0049] In some embodiments, the outer contour shape of the adapter 2 is adapted to the shape of the installation cavity 11.

[0050] Among them, the outer contour shape of the adapter 2 is shaped like the installation cavity 11. For example, the installation cavity 11 has a rectangular cross-section, and the outer contour of the adapter 2 is a rectangular cross-section; or, the installation cavity 11 has a circular cross-section, and the outer contour of the adapter 2 is a circular cross-section; or, the installation cavity 11 has a triangular cross-section, and the outer contour of the adapter 2 is a triangular cross-section.

[0051] In this embodiment, by making the outer contour shape of the adapter 2 adapted to the shape of the installation cavity 11, the adapter 2 can be smoothly inserted into the installation cavity 11 from one end of the installation cavity 11, and at the same time, the shaking and misalignment of the adapter 2 relative to the installation cavity 11 during the installation process and use process can be reduced, thereby improving the stability of the installation of the adapter 2 and the installation cavity 11, and improving the overall stability and reliability of the photovoltaic sound barrier.

[0052] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 - 3 shown, the open end of the installation cavity 11 is of a constricted type, the outer contour of the adapter 2 has a tapered section adapted to the open end, and the installation groove 21 is located in the tapered section.

[0053] In this embodiment, the open end of the installation cavity 11 is designed to be of a constricted type, that is, the opening of the installation cavity 11 is smaller, and the installation cavity 11 gradually expands inward. This design can increase the stability of the adapter 2 in the installation cavity 11 and reduce the risk of the adapter 2 shaking or falling off after installation.

[0054] The outer contour of the adapter 2 has a tapered section adapted to the open end of the installation cavity 11, and the outer side of the adapter 2 is adapted to the inner side of the installation cavity 11, that is, the outer side of the adapter 2 also presents a tapered shape from small to large. This design enables the adapter 2 to be smoothly inserted and fixed in the installation cavity 11.

[0055] The tapered section of the adapter 2 is close to the open end of the installation cavity 11, and the installation groove 21 is located on the tapered section of the adapter 2, which can facilitate the frame 31 of the photovoltaic module 3 to pass through the open end of the installation cavity 11 and be assembled with the installation groove 21 of the adapter 2.

[0056] In some embodiments, the adapter 2 has a plurality of sub-cavities 22, the plurality of sub-cavities 22 are separated by ribs 23, and the sub-cavities 22 are distributed on the outer sides of the other walls of the installation groove 21 except the groove opening.

[0057] In this embodiment, a plurality of sub - cavities 22 are designed inside the adapter 2, and these sub - cavities 22 are separated by ribs 23. The design of the sub - cavities 22 can provide a lightweight design for the adapter 2, reducing the weight and material cost of the adapter 2. At the same time, the setting of the ribs 23 can also increase the rigidity and stability of the adapter 2.

[0058] The sub - cavities 22 are distributed on the outer sides of the other walls of the installation groove 21 except the notch. The sub - cavities 22 and the ribs 23 are mainly located inside the adapter 2. The sub - cavities 22 avoid the installation groove 21, and the ribs 23 play a supporting role for the groove wall of the installation groove 21. By setting a plurality of sub - cavities 22 and ribs 23, the weight of the adapter 2 can be reduced and the structural stability of the adapter 2 can be improved, while not increasing the difficulty and complexity of installing the photovoltaic module 3.

[0059] Next, the structures of the adapter 2 and the frame 31 in the embodiments of the present application will be specifically described from three different implementation perspectives.

[0060] First, as Figure 2 shown, the installation groove 21 of the adapter 2 is provided with a hook 211 protruding in a direction away from the notch, and the frame 31 is provided with a slot 311 opening towards the notch, and the hook 211 is snapped into the slot 311.

[0061] In this embodiment, the hook 211 of the installation groove 21 and the slot 311 of the frame 31 are arranged opposite to each other to enable the clamping connection between the adapter 2 and the frame 31. The adapter 2 and the frame 31 are clamped through the hook 211 and the slot 311 to enhance the stability of the connection between the adapter 2 and the frame 31 and reduce the risk of the frame 31 falling off from the adapter 2.

[0062] It can be understood that the hook 211 of the installation groove 21 and the groove wall of the installation groove 21 can also form a clamping groove, and the groove wall of the slot 311 of the frame 31 and the side wall of the frame 31 can also form a clamping hook, and the hook 211 of the installation groove 21 and the slot 311 of the frame 31 are mutually embedded.

[0063] In some embodiments, the hooks 211 of the installation groove 21 can be continuously arranged along the extension direction of the installation groove 21 or can be arranged at intervals; the slots 311 of the frame 31 can be continuously arranged along the extension direction of the frame 31 or can be arranged at intervals; the hooks 211 of the installation groove 21 and the slots 311 of the frame 31 are adapted to each other.

[0064] In some embodiments, the slot 311 is provided on a side of the frame 31 away from the laminate 32 of the photovoltaic module 3; and / or, the hook 211 is of a cantilever structure.

[0065] Among them, the slot 311 and the hook 211 have at least the following three forms:

[0066] First, the card slot 311 is provided on the side of the frame 31 away from the laminate 32 of the photovoltaic module 3.

[0067] In this embodiment, one side of the frame 31 is provided with a laminate 32, and the other side is provided with a card slot 311 that is snap-fitted with the hook 211 of the mounting groove 21. By disposing the laminate 32 and the card slot 311 on both sides of the frame 31, the influence of the card slot 311 on the installation of the laminate 32 can be reduced. At the same time, the connection stability between the adapter 2 and the frame 31 is increased, and the risk of the frame 31 falling off from the adapter 2 is reduced.

[0068] Second, the hook 211 is of a cantilever structure. One end of the hook 211 is connected to the frame 31, and the other end is suspended, so that the suspended end of the hook 211 can extend into the card slot 311 to be connected to the card slot 311.

[0069] Third, the card slot 311 is provided on the side of the frame 31 away from the laminate 32 of the photovoltaic module 3 and the hook 211 is of a cantilever structure.

[0070] In this embodiment, it can reduce the influence of the card slot 311 on the installation of the laminate 32, increase the connection stability between the adapter 2 and the frame 31, and reduce the risk of the frame 31 falling off from the adapter 2; and it can also facilitate the snap-fit assembly of the hook 211 and the card slot 311.

[0071] Second, as Figure 3 shown, a boss 251 is provided on the first side wall of the mounting groove 21 of the adapter 2. The boss 251 protrudes toward the second side wall opposite to the first side wall, and a notch is formed between the first side wall and the second side wall. The surface of the frame 31 facing the notch is relatively limited by the boss 251.

[0072] In this embodiment, by providing the boss 251 between the first side wall and the second side wall, the opening width of the notch can be reduced. The boss 251 can limit the frame 31 and reduce the risk of the frame 31 falling off from the notch.

[0073] Among them, the boss 251 can be continuously provided along the extending direction of the mounting groove 21, or can be spaced apart along the extending direction of the mounting groove 21. The distance between the top surface of the boss 251 and the second side wall is greater than the thickness of the laminate 32 to reduce the influence on the laminate 32.

[0074] Third, the adapter 2 includes: a first part 24 and a second part 25. The second part 25 is detachably connected to the first part 24, and the first part 24 and the second part 25 together form the mounting groove 21, and the second part 25 has the boss 251.

[0075] In this embodiment, the adapter 2 is a split structure, and the specifications of the first part 24 and the second part 25 can be selected according to the specifications of the frame 31 of the photovoltaic module 3, so as to form mounting grooves 21 of different sizes, so that the adapter 2 can be adapted to photovoltaic modules 3 of different specifications and improve the application scenarios of the adapter 2.

[0076] Exemplarily, the first part 24 and the second part 25 can be connected by snap connection, plug-in connection or threaded connection.

[0077] Among them, the connection manner between the first part 24 and the second part 25 can be at least one of the following forms:

[0078] Firstly, along the arrangement direction of the first part 24 and the second part 25, a plurality of first engaging members 241 are provided on the first part 24, and a second engaging member 252 is provided on the second part 25, and the second engaging member 252 is engaged with one of the plurality of first engaging members 241.

[0079] In this embodiment, the plurality of first engaging members 241 are arranged at intervals along the arrangement direction of the first part 24 and the second part 25. The second engaging member 252 is engaged with different first engaging members 241, which can change the relative positions of the first part 24 and the second part 25, thereby changing the size of the mounting groove 21. Thus, the size of the mounting groove 21 can be adjusted for the frames 31 of photovoltaic modules 3 of different specifications, and further, the connection stability between the adapter 2 and the frame 31 is increased, and the risk of the frame 31 falling off from the adapter 2 is reduced.

[0080] When a plurality of first engaging members 241 are distributed along the arrangement direction of the first part 24 and the second part 25, and the second engaging member 252 is engaged with the first engaging member 241 closest to the second part 25, the mounting groove 21 is the largest and can be adapted to a larger frame 31; when the second engaging member 252 is engaged with the first engaging member 241 farthest from the second part 25, the mounting groove 21 is the smallest and can be adapted to a smaller frame 31.

[0081] Secondly, a third engaging member is provided on the first part 24, and a fourth engaging member is provided on the second part 25, and at least one of the third engaging member and the fourth engaging member is adjustable in length along the arrangement direction of the first part 24 and the second part 25.

[0082] The length of the third engaging member is adjustable, or the length of the fourth engaging member is adjustable, or the lengths of both the third engaging member and the fourth engaging member are adjustable.

[0083] In this embodiment, by adjusting the length of the third engaging member or the fourth engaging member or selecting a combination of third engaging members or fourth engaging members of different lengths, the size of the mounting groove 21 formed by the first part 24 and the second part 25 can be changed, so as to be adapted to the frames 31 of photovoltaic modules 3 of different specifications.

[0084] Exemplarily, the size of the mounting groove 21 formed by the first part 24 and the second part 25 can be changed by replacing the first part 24 with a third engaging member of a different length, or replacing the second part 25 with a fourth engaging member of a different length, or replacing the first part 24 with a third engaging member of a different length and replacing the second part 25 with a fourth engaging member of a different length.

[0085] Exemplarily, the relative position between the first part 24 and the second part 25 can be changed by setting the third engaging member or the fourth engaging member as a spring, a pneumatic rod or other telescopic structures.

[0086] In some embodiments, the mounting groove 21 has a rectangular cross-section, and the rectangular cross-section of the mounting groove 21 is adapted to the outer contour of the frame 31 of the photovoltaic module 3, so as to facilitate the installation of the frame 31 of the photovoltaic module 3 into the mounting groove 21. The mounting groove 21 can provide positioning and fixation for the frame 31 of the photovoltaic module 3, and reduce the shaking and misalignment of the frame 31 of the photovoltaic module 3 relative to the mounting groove 21 during the installation process and the use process.

[0087] In some embodiments, the photovoltaic sound barrier further includes: an elastic member 4, and the frame 31 is installed in the mounting groove 21 through the elastic member 4.

[0088] Exemplarily, the elastic member 4 can be an elastic pad or an elastic strip, for example, at least one of a rubber pad, a rubber strip or a silica gel strip.

[0089] The elastic member 4 is elastically clamped between the frame 31 and the groove wall of the mounting groove 21. The elastic member 4 can increase the friction force and extrusion force between the frame 31 and the mounting groove 21, so that the assembly of the frame 31 and the mounting groove 21 is more stable.

[0090] In the case where the elastic member 4 is an elastic strip, there are a plurality of elastic members 4, and the plurality of elastic members 4 are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the mounting groove 21, and the plurality of elastic members 4 are clamped between the frame 31 and the groove wall of the mounting groove 21.

The adapter 2 is installed in the installation cavity 11 of the support structure 1, and the adapter 2 has a mounting groove 21.

[0093] The support structure 1 forms an installation cavity 11 with an opening. The installation cavity 11 provides an installation space for the adapter 2. The adapter 2 is used to connect the photovoltaic module 3 and the support structure 1 of the photovoltaic sound barrier. The adapter 2 is located within the installation cavity 11, and the adapter 2 can be installed within the installation cavity 11 by means of snap connection, welding, plug-and-play connection, etc. The frame 31 of the photovoltaic module 3 is installed in the installation groove 21, and the frame 31 of the photovoltaic module 3 can be installed within the installation groove 21 by means of snap connection, welding, plug-and-play connection, etc.

[0094] The notch orientation of the installation groove 21 is the same as the opening orientation of the installation cavity 11, facilitating the installation of the photovoltaic module 3. The function of the adapter 2 is to fix the photovoltaic module 3 on the support structure 1 and enable a stable connection between the photovoltaic module 3 and the support structure 1.

[0095] The photovoltaic module 3 is used to convert solar energy into electrical energy. The photovoltaic module 3 can be a photovoltaic module 3 in the form of a conventional frame 31. By providing the adapter 2, the support structure 1 with a conventional structure and the photovoltaic module 3 with a conventional structure can be assembled without the need to improve the existing frames 31 of the support structure 1 and the photovoltaic module 3, which is convenient for assembly and reduces costs.

[0099] In this embodiment, by making the outer contour shape of the adapter 2 adapted to the shape of the installation cavity 11, the adapter 2 can be smoothly inserted into the installation cavity 11 from one end of the installation cavity 11, and at the same time, the wobbling and misalignment of the adapter 2 relative to the installation cavity 11 during the installation process and use process can be reduced, thereby improving the stability of the installation of the adapter 2 and the installation cavity 11, and improving the overall stability and reliability of the photovoltaic sound barrier.

[0100] In some embodiments, the opening of the installation cavity 11 is a reduced-opening type, the outer contour of the adapter 2 has a tapered section adapted to the opening, and the installation groove 21 is located in the tapered section.

[0101] In this embodiment, the opening of the installation cavity 11 is designed as a reduced-opening type, that is, the opening of the installation cavity 11 is smaller, and the installation cavity 11 gradually expands inward. This design can increase the stability of the adapter 2 in the installation cavity 11 and reduce the risk of the adapter 2 shaking or falling off after installation.

[0102] The outer contour of the adapter 2 has a tapered section adapted to the opening of the installation cavity 11, and the outer side of the adapter 2 is adapted to the inner side of the installation cavity 11, that is, the outer side of the adapter 2 also presents a tapered shape from small to large. This design enables the adapter 2 to be smoothly inserted and fixed in the installation cavity 11.

[0103] The tapered section of the adapter 2 is close to the opening of the installation cavity 11, and the installation groove 21 is located on the tapered section of the adapter 2, which can facilitate the frame 31 of the photovoltaic module 3 to pass through the opening of the installation cavity 11 and be assembled with the installation groove 21 of the adapter 2.

[0104] In some embodiments, the adapter 2 has a plurality of sub-cavities 22, the plurality of sub-cavities 22 are separated by ribs 23, and the sub-cavities 22 are distributed on the outer sides of the other walls of the installation groove 21 except the groove opening.

[0105] In this embodiment, a plurality of sub-cavities 22 are designed inside the adapter 2, and these sub-cavities 22 are separated by ribs 23. The design of the sub-cavities 22 can provide a lightweight design for the adapter 2, reduce the weight and material cost of the adapter 2, and at the same time, the setting of the ribs 23 can also increase the rigidity and stability of the adapter 2.

[0106] The sub-cavities 22 are distributed on the outer sides of the other walls of the installation groove 21 except the groove opening. The sub-cavities 22 and the ribs 23 are mainly located inside the adapter 2. The sub-cavities 22 avoid the installation groove 21, and the ribs 23 play a supporting role for the groove wall of the installation groove 21. By setting a plurality of sub-cavities 22 and ribs 23, the weight of the adapter 2 can be reduced and the structural stability of the adapter 2 can be improved, while not increasing the difficulty and complexity of the installation of the photovoltaic module 3.

[0107] Next, the structures of the adapter 2 and the frame 31 in the embodiments of the present application will be specifically described from three different implementation perspectives.

[0108] Next, the structures of the adapter 2 and the frame 31 in the embodiments of the present application will be specifically described from three different implementation perspectives.

[0109] First, as Figure 2As shown, the installation groove 21 of the adapter 2 is provided with a hook 211 protruding in a direction away from the notch, and the frame 31 is provided with a slot 311 opening towards the notch, and the hook 211 is snapped into the slot 311.

[0110] In this embodiment, the adapter 2 and the frame 31 are snap-connected by the hook 211 and the slot 311 to enhance the connection stability between the adapter 2 and the frame 31 and reduce the risk of the frame 31 falling off from the adapter 2.

[0111] It can be understood that the hook 211 of the installation groove 21 and the groove wall of the installation groove 21 can also form a snap groove, and the groove wall of the slot 311 of the frame 31 and the side wall of the frame 31 can also form a snap hook, and the hook 211 of the installation groove 21 and the slot 311 of the frame 31 are mutually embedded.

[0112] The hook 211 of the installation groove 21 and the slot 311 of the frame 31 are arranged oppositely to enable the snap connection between the adapter 2 and the frame 31.

[0113] In some embodiments, the hooks 211 of the installation groove 21 can be continuously arranged along the extending direction of the installation groove 21 or can be arranged at intervals; the slots 311 of the frame 31 can be continuously arranged along the extending direction of the frame 31 or can be arranged at intervals; the hooks 211 of the installation groove 21 and the slots 311 of the frame 31 are adapted to each other.

[0114] In some embodiments, the slot 311 is provided on a side of the frame 31 away from the laminate 32 of the photovoltaic module 3; and / or, the hook 211 is of a cantilever structure.

[0115] Among them, the slot 311 and the hook 211 have at least the following three forms:

[0116] First, the slot 311 is provided on a side of the frame 31 away from the laminate 32 of the photovoltaic module 3.

[0117] In this embodiment, a laminate 32 is provided on one side of the frame 31, and a slot 311 for snap-connecting with the hook 211 of the installation groove 21 is provided on the other side. Separating the laminate 32 and the slot 311 on both sides of the frame 31 can reduce the influence of the slot 311 on the installation of the laminate 32, and at the same time increase the connection stability between the adapter 2 and the frame 31 and reduce the risk of the frame 31 falling off from the adapter 2.

[0118] Second, the hook 211 is of a cantilever structure, one end of the hook 211 is connected to the frame 31, and the other end is suspended, so that the suspended end of the hook 211 can extend into the slot 311 to be connected with the slot 311.

[0119] Third, the slot 311 is provided on a side of the frame 31 away from the laminate 32 of the photovoltaic module 3 and the hook 211 is of a cantilever structure.

[0120] In this embodiment, it is possible to reduce the influence of the card slot 311 on the installation of the laminate 32, while increasing the stability of the connection between the adapter 2 and the frame 31 and reducing the risk of the frame 31 falling off from the adapter 2; and it is also convenient for the snap - fit assembly of the hook 211 and the card slot 311.

[0121] Second, as Figure 3 shown, a boss 251 is provided on the first side wall of the installation groove 21 of the adapter 2. The boss 251 protrudes towards the second side wall opposite to the first side wall, and a notch is formed between the first side wall and the second side wall. The surface of the frame 31 facing the notch is relatively limited by the boss 251.

[0122] In this embodiment, by providing the boss 251 between the first side wall and the second side wall, the opening width of the notch can be reduced. The boss 251 can limit the frame 31 and reduce the risk of the frame 31 falling off from the notch.

[0123] Among them, the boss 251 can be continuously provided along the extension direction of the installation groove 21, or can be spaced apart along the extension direction of the installation groove 21. The distance between the top surface of the boss 251 and the second side wall is greater than the thickness of the laminate 32 to reduce the influence on the laminate 32.

[0124] Third, the adapter 2 includes: a first part 24 and a second part 25. The second part 25 is detachably connected to the first part 24, and the first part 24 and the second part 25 together form the installation groove 21, and the second part 25 has the boss 251.

[0125] In this embodiment, the adapter 2 is a split structure, and the specifications of the first part 24 and the second part 25 can be selected according to the specifications of the frame 31 of the photovoltaic module 3 to form installation grooves 21 of different sizes, so that the adapter 2 can be adapted to photovoltaic modules 3 of different specifications and improve the application scenarios of the adapter 2.
