Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic components, and in particular relates to a photovoltaic component frame. Background Art

[0002] Photovoltaic modules need to be installed outdoors and exposed to wind and rain, so their ability to withstand wind pressure and snow loads must be guaranteed. As the size of photovoltaic modules continues to grow, the load-bearing performance requirements of the module frames are becoming increasingly stringent.

[0003] At present, the frames of photovoltaic modules adopt a thinner frame structure, which reduces the material while reducing the overall compressive resistance. The overall structure adopts an integrated structure, which is not convenient for replacing individual parts. At the same time, it lacks the function of fixing the photovoltaic panels and each part during installation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a photovoltaic module frame to solve the problems of pressure resistance, parts replacement and fixation in the prior art.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A photovoltaic module frame, comprising a photovoltaic panel, a mounting block, a top plate and a base, wherein the bottom of the mounting block is symmetrically provided with a corner groove, one side of the corner groove is provided with a stepped platform, and the base is symmetrically provided with a corner block that cooperates with the corner groove;

[0007] The top of the mounting block is symmetrically provided with a T-shaped slot, and T-shaped blocks matching the T-shaped slot are provided on both sides of the top plate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for the purpose of explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A photovoltaic module frame includes a photovoltaic panel 29, a mounting block 10, a top plate 17, and a base 11. The bottom of the mounting block 10 is symmetrically provided with a corner groove 12, one side of the corner groove 12 is provided with a stepped platform 13, and the base 11 is symmetrically provided with a corner block 101 that cooperates with the corner groove 12;

[0029] In the above scheme, the base 11 is a guide rail fixed on the ground. Before installing the photovoltaic panel 29, the mounting block 10 is first slidably installed on the base 11. The mounting block 10 is stabilized by the cooperation of the corner groove 12 and the corner block 101, and the two sides of the base 11 can be supported in the step platform 13, thereby improving the pressure resistance of the mounting block 10. In summary, the close cooperation between the corner groove 12 and the corner block 101 not only ensures the stability of the mounting block 10 on the base 11, but also through the design of the step platform 13, the two sides of the base 11 can be effectively supported, thereby enhancing the pressure resistance and stability of the entire mounting structure, ensuring the safety of the photovoltaic panel 29 in long-term operation and not easily collapsing; especially when the mounting block 10 and the base 11 are made of plastic material, the overall stability performance is improved.

[0030] Also refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top of the mounting block 10 is symmetrically provided with a T-shaped slot 15, and T-shaped blocks 16 that match the T-shaped slot 15 are provided on both sides of the top plate 17. An extension plate 18 is symmetrically provided above the top plate 17, and a pressing plate 19 is hingedly connected to the extension plate 18. The photovoltaic panel 29 is installed between the pressing plate 19 and the top plate 17;

[0031] In the above scheme, the top plate 17 is slidably installed to the top of the mounting block 10. The top plate 17 can be stably installed through the cooperation of the T-slot 15 and the T-block 16, reducing the safety hazards caused by shaking or misalignment, and at the same time facilitating the quick installation and disassembly of the top plate 17, thereby improving the interchangeability of the overall parts; then the photovoltaic panels 29 are installed on both sides, and the photovoltaic panels 29 are placed between the top plate 17 and the clamping plate 19. The clamping plate 19 can be rotated, and the photovoltaic panel 29 is placed on one side of the top plate 17. When the rotating clamping plate 19 presses the top of the photovoltaic panel 29, the clamping plate 19 can tightly press the photovoltaic panel, effectively preventing the photovoltaic panel from being displaced or damaged due to wind, vibration and other factors.

[0032] Further references Figure 3 A plurality of anti-skid bumps 191 are provided under the pressing plate 19. When the pressing plate 19 presses against the top of the photovoltaic panel 29, the anti-skid bumps 191 can provide a large static friction force. In addition, the side of the photovoltaic panel 29 is also provided with notches corresponding to the anti-skid bumps 191, thereby further improving the stability of the photovoltaic panel 29.

[0033] refer to Figure 3-Figure 6 A threaded groove 20 is provided between the mounting block 10 and the top plate 17. A clamping mechanism is installed in the threaded groove 20. The clamping mechanism is used to stabilize the top plate 17 and the clamping plate 19. The clamping mechanism includes a screw 21, which is threadedly engaged in the threaded groove 20. A clamping block 22 is provided outside the screw 21, and a hexagonal head 24 is provided at the top of the screw 21.

[0034] In the above scheme, a tool such as a hexagonal wrench is placed in the hexagonal head 24, and the tool is rotated under force to screw the screw 21 into the thread groove 20, and the pressure block 22 will press on the top of the top plate 17, thereby tightening the top plate 17, that is, the top plate 17 will not slide inside the T-slot 15.

[0035] Further references Figure 4 and Figure 5 A hole groove 23 is opened under the screw 21, and side grooves 231 are provided on both sides of the hole groove 23. A threaded sleeve 26 is slidably installed inside the hole groove 23, and side plates 27 that match the side grooves 231 are provided on both sides of the threaded sleeve 26. A clamping ring 28 is provided on the screw 21, and an internal rod 25 is installed in the hexagonal head 24 and extends into the hole groove 23, wherein the side plate 27 is below the clamping ring 28; the internal rod 25 and the threaded sleeve 26 are engaged with each other.

[0036] In the above solution, after the position of the clamping plate 19 is adjusted, the height of the threaded sleeve 26 is adjusted by rotating the built-in rod 25. Since the side plates 27 on both sides of the threaded sleeve 26 are constrained within the side grooves 231, the height of the threaded sleeve 26 can be raised or lowered when the built-in rod 25 is rotated. When the position of the threaded sleeve 26 changes, the side plates 27 are forced to push the clamping ring 28 upward, thereby supporting the clamping plate 19. As a result, the clamping plate 19 rotates to one side, so that the clamping plate 19 firmly presses the top of the photovoltaic panel 29, ensuring the stability and safety of the photovoltaic panel during installation. The entire clamping mechanism is compactly designed, takes up little additional space, and is convenient for construction and installation.

[0037] An inner hexagonal structure is adopted above the built-in rod 25, which can facilitate the disassembly of the built-in rod 25; at the same time, a countersunk groove is provided in the hexagonal head 24, and the countersunk groove is used to match the hexagon above the built-in rod 25. In this way, when the installation of the built-in rod 25 and the screw rod 21 is completed, a sealing plug is placed in the hexagonal head 24 to prevent rainwater from entering the hole groove 23 and causing rust, thereby improving the convenience of subsequent disassembly.

[0038] Further references Figure 5 The threads on the periphery of the screw rod 21 are below the pressing block 22, and the periphery of the screw rod 21 is not provided with threads above the pressing block 22. This can facilitate the compression ring 28 to slide on the periphery of the screw rod 21 without threads, thereby improving the convenience of the compression ring 28.

[0039] The specific implementation process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0040] The mounting block 10 is slidably installed on the base 11, and the mounting block 10 is stabilized by the cooperation of the corner groove 12 and the corner block 101; the top plate 17 is slidably installed to the top of the mounting block 10, and the top plate 17 can be stably installed by the cooperation of the T-slot 15 and the T-block 16; a tool such as a hexagonal wrench is placed in the hexagonal head 24, and the tool is rotated under force to screw the screw 21 into the threaded groove 20, and the pressure block 22 will press on the top of the top plate 17, thereby pressing the top plate 17; after the position of the clamping plate 19 is adjusted, the height of the threaded sleeve 26 is adjusted by rotating the built-in rod 25, and the side plate 27 will be forced to push the clamping ring 28 upward, thereby supporting the clamping plate 19, so that the clamping plate 19 rotates to one side, so that the clamping plate 19 firmly presses the top of the photovoltaic panel 29, ensuring the stability and safety of the photovoltaic panel during installation.

[0041] Finally, it is worth noting that the rectangular photovoltaic panel 29 only needs to be positioned at the four corners of the rectangular photovoltaic panel 29 by the mounting blocks 10, thereby saving parts.

[0042] Example 2:

[0043] refer to Figure 1 The mounting block 10 is provided with a rectangular slot 14. The photovoltaic panel 29 is installed so that the wiring can be pulled into the slot 14. This ensures that the wiring is concealed and organized. This not only enhances the overall aesthetics but also reduces potential safety hazards associated with exposed wiring, such as the risk of electric shock and accelerated wiring aging.

[0044] Example 3:

[0045] refer to Figure 6 The clamping ring 28 is two detachable semicircular arcs, wherein the two semicircular arcs are provided with corresponding T grooves and T blocks. In this way, the clamping ring 28 can be conveniently slidably sleeved on the outside of the screw rod 21.

The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the claims. Various modifications or equivalent substitutions may be made to the present invention within the spirit and scope of protection of the present invention.
