[0002] In an environment where the competition in the photovoltaic industry is becoming increasingly fierce, the power generation capacity of photovoltaic modules has become a top priority.

[0003] Currently, in the actual application of existing traditional frames for photovoltaic modules in power stations, since the four sides of the frame are all higher than the glass surface of the photovoltaic module, it often leads to serious dust accumulation, and rainwater cannot completely wash away the dust and debris on the surface of the photovoltaic module. As a result, a dust accumulation belt will be formed along the lower edge of the photovoltaic module, seriously affecting the power generation capacity of the photovoltaic module. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] (1) A frame for a photovoltaic module provided by the utility model alleviates the technical problem that the dust accumulation on the frame of the photovoltaic module affects the power generation capacity of the photovoltaic module in the prior art.

[0005] (2) Technical Solution

The height of the limiting part is the same as the thickness of the photovoltaic module. The length of the frame is the same as the width of the photovoltaic module;

[0008] The glue application mechanism is arranged on the upper surface of the frame, and the glue storage mechanism is arranged on the side wall of the limiting part.

[0009] Further, the frame includes a support frame and a limiting frame. The limiting frame is arranged on one side of the upper surface of the support frame. The limiting frame and the upper surface of the support frame enclose the installation space.

[0010] Further, the glue application mechanism is arranged on the upper surface of the support frame, and the glue storage mechanism is arranged on the side wall of the limiting frame close to the support frame. When the photovoltaic module is installed in the installation space, the lower bottom wall of the photovoltaic module is attached to the upper surface of the support frame, the side wall of the photovoltaic module is attached to the side wall of the limiting frame, the upper surface of the photovoltaic module is flush with the top wall of the limiting frame, and the photovoltaic module is fixed to the support frame and the limiting frame through the glue application mechanism and the glue storage mechanism respectively.

[0011] Furthermore, the sealant application mechanism includes a sealant application groove which is formed on the upper surface of the support frame and is used for applying sealant before installing the photovoltaic module.

[0012] Furthermore, there are multiple sealant application grooves.

[0013] Furthermore, the multiple sealant application grooves are evenly spaced and formed on the upper surface of the support frame.

[0014] Furthermore, the sealant storage mechanism includes a sealant storage groove which is formed on the side wall of the limit frame and is used for storing the silicone sealant pushed out from the sealant application groove during the installation of the photovoltaic module.

[0015] Furthermore, the sealant storage mechanism further includes a partition member. One end of the partition member is installed at the bottom corner inside the sealant storage groove, and the other end is inclined towards the outside of the sealant storage groove.

[0016] Furthermore, the horizontal plane where the outer edge of the end of the partition member away from the inner side wall of the sealant storage groove is located coincides with the outer side wall of the limit frame close to the support frame.

[0017] Furthermore, the support frame and the limit frame have the same length and the same width as the photovoltaic module to be installed.

A limit portion installed on one side of the upper surface of the frame and the frame enclose an installation space for installing the photovoltaic module, and the horizontal extreme position of the photovoltaic module can be restricted by the limit portion to prevent the photovoltaic module from slipping off. During installation, an appropriate amount of silicone sealant is applied on the sealant application mechanism, and then the photovoltaic module is pushed in, and the excess silicone sealant can be squeezed into the sealant storage mechanism along with the trend, thereby fixing the photovoltaic module.

[0029] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the present utility model provides a photovoltaic module frame, including a frame 100, a glue application mechanism, and a glue storage mechanism; a limiting portion is provided on one side of the upper surface of the frame 100, and the limiting portion is used to define the horizontal limit position of the photovoltaic module. The limiting portion and the upper surface of the frame 100 enclose an installation space, and the photovoltaic module is installed in the installation space. The height of the limiting portion is the same as the thickness of the photovoltaic module, and the length of the frame 100 is the same as the width of the photovoltaic module; the glue application mechanism is arranged on the upper surface of the frame 100, and the glue storage mechanism is arranged on the side wall of the limiting portion.

[0030] In this embodiment, it includes a frame 100, a glue application mechanism, and a glue storage mechanism. A limiting portion installed on one side of the upper surface of the frame 100 and the frame 100 enclose an installation space for installing the photovoltaic module, and the horizontal limit position of the photovoltaic module can be restricted through the limiting portion to prevent the photovoltaic module from slipping. During installation, by applying an appropriate amount of silicone on the glue application mechanism and pushing the photovoltaic module in, the excess silicone can be squeezed into the glue storage mechanism along the way, thereby fixing the photovoltaic module. By designing the height of the limiting portion to be the same as the thickness of the photovoltaic module and the length of the frame 100 to be the same as the width of the photovoltaic module, it can ensure that the upper surface of the installed photovoltaic module is flush with the top wall of the limiting portion and the side wall of the photovoltaic module is flush with the side wall of the frame 100, which can help rainwater wash away the dust accumulated on the upper surface of the photovoltaic module and flow away along the side walls in all directions, thereby improving the dust accumulation situation on the surface of the photovoltaic module and effectively reducing the problem of the decline in the power generation performance of the photovoltaic module caused by dust accumulation.

[0031] According to an embodiment provided by the present utility model, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the frame 100 includes a support frame 101 and a limiting frame 102. The limiting frame 102 is arranged on one side of the upper surface of the support frame 101, and the limiting frame 102 and the upper surface of the support frame 101 enclose an installation space.

[0032] In this embodiment, the frame 100 includes a support frame 101 and a limit frame 102. The limit frame 102 is disposed on one side of the upper surface of the support frame 101 and encloses an installation space with the upper surface of the support frame 101. This installation space is used for installing a photovoltaic module.

[0033] Among them, preferably, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the height of the limit frame 102 is the same as the thickness of the photovoltaic module, the length of the support frame 101 is the same as that of the limit frame 102, and is the same as the width of the installed photovoltaic module. Thus, it can be ensured that after the photovoltaic module is pushed into the installation space and fixed, the upper surface of the photovoltaic module is flush with the top wall of the limit frame 102, and the side walls of the photovoltaic module are flush with the side walls of the support frame 101. Thereby, the formation of an ash accumulation zone at the lower edge of the photovoltaic module is avoided, which can help rainwater wash the ash accumulated on the upper surface of the photovoltaic module and flow away along the side walls in all directions. Thus, the ash accumulation condition on the surface of the photovoltaic module can be improved, and the problem of the decline in the power generation performance of the photovoltaic module caused by ash accumulation can be effectively reduced.

[0034] According to an embodiment provided by the present utility model, as Figure 1 shown, the caulking mechanism is disposed on the upper surface of the support frame 101, and the glue storage mechanism is disposed on the side wall of the limit frame 102 close to the support frame 101. When the photovoltaic module is installed in the installation space, the lower bottom wall of the photovoltaic module is in contact with the upper surface of the support frame 101, the side walls of the photovoltaic module are in contact with the side walls of the limit frame 102, the upper surface of the photovoltaic module is flush with the top wall of the limit frame 102, and the photovoltaic module is fixed to the support frame 101 and the limit frame 102 through the caulking mechanism and the glue storage mechanism respectively.

[0035] In this embodiment, during installation, first apply an appropriate amount of silicone in the caulking mechanism, and then push the photovoltaic module flat from the side facing the limit frame 102 onto the support frame 101. After being pushed flat, the excess silicone can be squeezed into the glue storage mechanism, so as to achieve the effect of fixing and installing the photovoltaic module.

[0036] According to an embodiment provided by the present utility model, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the caulking mechanism includes a caulking groove 200, and the caulking groove 200 is opened on the upper surface of the support frame 101 for caulking before installing the photovoltaic module.

[0037] In this embodiment, the gluing mechanism includes a gluing groove 200. Preferably, the gluing groove 200 is directly formed on the upper surface of the support frame 101 and is used for gluing before installing the photovoltaic module. During installation, an appropriate amount of silicone is evenly applied in the gluing groove 200 first, and then the photovoltaic module is horizontally pushed and installed on the support frame 101 from the side facing the limit frame 102. After horizontal pushing, the excess silicone can be squeezed into the glue storage mechanism, so as to achieve the effect of fixing and installing the photovoltaic module.

[0038] According to an embodiment provided by the present invention, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, there are multiple gluing grooves 200.

[0039] Furthermore, the multiple gluing grooves 200 are evenly spaced and formed on the upper surface of the support frame 101.

[0040] In this embodiment, there can be multiple gluing grooves 200, and the multiple gluing grooves 200 are evenly spaced and formed on the upper surface of the support frame 101. Optionally, it is set according to the actual use situation. As long as its essence does not deviate from the actual idea of the present invention, it should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0041] Preferably, there are two gluing grooves 200, and the two gluing grooves 200 are arranged adjacent to each other at intervals to ensure the stability of the fixed photovoltaic module after installation.

[0042] According to an embodiment provided by the present invention, as Figure 1 shown, the glue storage mechanism includes a glue storage groove 300. The glue storage groove 300 is formed on the side wall of the limit frame 102 and is used for storing the silicone pushed out from the gluing groove 200 during the installation of the photovoltaic module.

[0043] In this embodiment, the glue storage mechanism includes a glue storage groove 300, which is opened on the side wall of the limit frame 102. Preferably, the glue storage groove 300 is set as a line for storing the silicone pushed out from the glue groove 200 when the photovoltaic module is installed. During installation, first evenly apply a proper amount of silicone in the glue groove 200, and then push the photovoltaic module horizontally from the side facing the limit frame 102 to the support frame 101. After the horizontal push, the excess silicone can be squeezed into the glue storage groove 300 to achieve the effect of fixing the photovoltaic module. The silica gel fixes the photovoltaic module directly in the installation space. Since the height of the limit frame 102 is designed to be the same as the thickness of the photovoltaic module and the length of the support frame 101 is designed to be the same as the width of the photovoltaic module, it can ensure that the upper surface of the photovoltaic module after installation is flush with the top wall of the limit frame 102 and the side walls of the photovoltaic module are flush with the side walls of the support frame 101. This can help rainwater wash away the dust accumulated on the upper surface of the photovoltaic module and flow away along the side walls in all directions, thereby improving the dust accumulation on the surface of the photovoltaic module and effectively reducing the problem of decreased power generation performance of the photovoltaic module due to dust accumulation.

[0044] According to an embodiment provided by the present utility model, Figure 2 As shown, the glue storage mechanism further includes a separator 301 , one end of which is mounted on the bottom corner of the inner side of the glue storage slot 300 , and the other end is tilted toward the outside of the glue storage slot 300 .

[0045] In this embodiment, the glue storage mechanism also includes a separator 301, one end of the separator 301 is installed on the bottom corner of the inner side of the glue storage groove 300, and the other end is inclined toward the outside of the glue storage groove 300. By setting the separator 301, the glue storage groove 300 is divided into two parts, thereby further enhancing the glue storage effect and the fixing effect of the photovoltaic component frame 100.

[0046] By providing a separator 301 to divide the glue storage tank 300 into two adjacent parts, the glue overflow can be effectively prevented when there is too much silicone. Part of the silicone enters the glue storage tank 300 from the top of the separator 301, and the other part of the silicone enters the glue storage tank 300 from the bottom of the separator 301, thereby ensuring the glue storage effect of the glue storage tank 300.

[0047] Among them, optionally, the partition 301 can be set as a partition plate, or can be set as a plate with a smooth curved hook at one end so that it can be against the side wall of the photovoltaic component, or other components that can have a partitioning effect. Its purpose does not deviate from the design concept of the present invention and should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0048] According to an embodiment provided by the present utility model, Figure 2As shown, the horizontal plane where the outer edge of the end of the partition member 301 away from the inner side wall of the glue storage groove 300 coincides with the outer side wall of the limit frame 102 close to the support frame 101.

[0049] In this embodiment, preferably, the horizontal plane where the outer edge of the end of the partition member 301 away from the inner side wall of the glue storage groove 300 coincides with the outer side wall of the limit frame 102 close to the support frame 101, so as to ensure that the photovoltaic module can be in contact with the side wall of the limit frame 102 after being pushed in and fixed, increasing the fixing effect and the drainage effect after rainwater flushes the surface dust.

[0050] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
