DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the directions or positional relationships indicated by "upper," "lower," "front," and "back" are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended solely to facilitate the description of this application and simplify the description. They do not indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed, or operate in a specific direction. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, "first," "second," "third," and "fourth" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0030] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a photovoltaic module frame assembly device is provided, including a fixed bracket, a support baffle and an extrusion assembly. The fixed bracket includes a horizontal bracket 1 and a vertical bracket 2 perpendicularly intersecting the horizontal bracket 1. The horizontal bracket 1 is fixedly connected to the vertical bracket 2 to form a fixed bracket structure with a fixed shape, so that the fixed bracket can serve as the base of the device.

[0032] The support baffle includes a vertical support plate 3 provided on one side of the horizontal bracket 1 and a horizontal support plate 4 provided on one side of the vertical bracket 2, wherein the vertical plate surface 31 of the vertical support plate 3 is perpendicular to the horizontal plate surface 41 of the horizontal support plate 4. Figure 1 , the vertical panel surface 31 and the horizontal panel surface 41 respectively contact two adjacent frame surfaces of the frame assembly. It should be noted that since the frame of a photovoltaic module is generally rectangular, the vertical panel surface 31 and the horizontal panel surface 41 are perpendicularly arranged as mentioned above, thereby satisfying the condition that the two frame surfaces of the frame assembly are in contact.

[0033] The extrusion assembly includes a vertical movable plate 8 provided on the other side of the horizontal bracket 1 and a horizontal movable plate 5 provided on the other side of the vertical bracket 2. Figure 1 , the vertical movable plate 8 has a vertical movable surface 81 that is parallel to the vertical plate surface 31 and translates toward the vertical support plate 3, and the horizontal movable plate 5 has a horizontal movable surface 51 that is parallel to the horizontal plate surface 41 and translates toward the horizontal support plate 4, and the vertical movable surface 81 and the horizontal movable surface 51 are respectively in contact with the other two adjacent frame surfaces of the frame assembly. Since the horizontal movable plate 5 and the vertical movable plate 8 are movable, the positions of the horizontal movable plate 5 and the vertical movable plate 8 can be adaptively adjusted according to the size of the frame assembly, thereby meeting the needs of frame assemblies of different sizes. It should be pointed out that the horizontal movable surface 51 should remain parallel to the horizontal plate surface 41 during the translation process. Similarly, the vertical movable surface 81 should also remain parallel to the vertical plate surface 31 during the translation process, thereby ensuring that the frame assembly has a relatively stable rectangular shape during the extrusion process, avoiding deformation of the frame assembly.

[0034] Since the horizontal plate surface 41, the vertical plate surface 31, the horizontal movable surface 51 and the vertical movable surface 81 can respectively contact the four side surfaces of the frame assembly, when the horizontal movable plate 5 and the vertical movable plate 8 move to squeeze the frame, the frame can be subjected to a continuous and uniform squeezing force, which can effectively avoid the rebound phenomenon of the frame during the assembly process and improve the reliability of the frame assembly.

[0035] In summary of the above embodiments, the present application uses a fixed bracket as a base, and blocks two adjacent frames of the frame assembly through the horizontal support plate 4 and the vertical support plate 3, while the other two frames of the frame assembly are blocked by the horizontal movable plate 5 and the vertical movable plate 8, and the support plate and the movable plate are in contact with the frame surface, so that under the continuous squeezing action of the horizontal movable plate 5 and the vertical movable plate 8, a uniform and continuous force can be applied to the frame of the frame assembly to avoid frame rebound, thereby increasing the reliability and stability of the photovoltaic module. At the same time, through the movable setting of the horizontal movable plate 5 and the vertical movable plate 8, the position of the horizontal movable plate 5 and the vertical movable plate 8 can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the photovoltaic module product, thereby adapting to the frame assembly of photovoltaic modules of various specifications.

[0036] On the basis of the above embodiment, in order to improve the stability between fixation, the number of horizontal brackets 1 and vertical brackets 2 can be set to multiple, and several horizontal brackets 1 are set in parallel, several vertical brackets 2 are set in parallel, and the number of vertical movable plates 8 and horizontal brackets 1 is consistent and one-to-one corresponding, and the number of horizontal movable plates 5 and vertical brackets 2 is consistent and one-to-one corresponding, so that the frame assembly can be squeezed by multiple vertical movable plates 8 or horizontal movable plates 5, ensuring that multiple positions of the frame can be subjected to squeezing force, thereby achieving uniform force on the frame.

[0037] The vertical movable panel 8 uses the horizontal support 1 as a platform during its movement, so the vertical movable member can move along the length of the horizontal support 1. Similarly, the horizontal movable panel 5 also moves along the length of the vertical support 2. In addition, to ensure the stability of the movement of the vertical movable panel 8 or the horizontal movable panel 5, slide rails, slide grooves, etc. can be provided on the corresponding horizontal support 1 or vertical support 2 so that the movable panel can cooperate with them, thereby achieving stable movement of the movable panel, maintaining the horizontal movable surface 51 parallel to the horizontal panel surface 41, and the vertical movable surface 81 parallel to the vertical panel surface 31.

[0038] In addition, since multiple horizontal movable plates 5 will act on one frame of the frame assembly at the same time, the horizontal movable surfaces 51 on the multiple horizontal movable plates 5 should be located in the same plane, and the multiple horizontal movable plates 5 should move synchronously, so as to keep the multiple horizontal movable surfaces 51 in the same plane during the translation process; similarly, the vertical movable surfaces 81 on the multiple vertical movable plates 8 are also located in the same plane, and the vertical movable plates 8 move synchronously.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The extrusion assembly also includes a horizontal fixed plate 6 arranged on the side of the horizontal movable plate 5 away from the horizontal support plate 4. The horizontal fixed plate 6 is fixed on the vertical bracket 2. A power propulsion member 7 is provided on the horizontal fixed plate 6. The power end of the power propulsion member 7 is connected to the horizontal movable plate 5. The horizontal fixed plate 6 serves as a stable support point for the power propulsion member 7, so that the power propulsion member 7 can push the horizontal movable plate 5 to move toward the horizontal support plate 4, thereby extruding the frame assembly.

[0040] Similarly, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The extrusion assembly also includes a vertical fixed plate 9 arranged on the side of the vertical movable plate 8 away from the vertical support plate 3. The vertical fixed plate 9 is fixed on the horizontal bracket 1. A power propulsion member 7 is provided on the vertical fixed plate 9. The power end of the power propulsion member 7 is connected to the vertical movable plate 8 to drive the vertical movable plate 8 to move toward or away from the vertical support plate 3.

[0041] It should be noted that the above-mentioned power propulsion member 7 can be a power cylinder such as a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or a propulsion member controlled by a power member such as a motor. They will not be described in detail here, and all fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0042] In some embodiments, the power propulsion member 7 can also be a propulsion bolt, please refer to Figure 4 The advancing bolt is threadedly connected to the fixed plate, or is rotated on the fixed plate by a nut. The nut is fixed relative to the fixed plate. Then, under the action of the advancing bolt, the advancing bolt moves along its axial direction, and the advancing bolt abuts against the horizontal movable plate 5 or the vertical movable plate 8, thereby pushing the movable plate to move. Of course, the end of the advancing bolt can also be set to an axial limit with the movable plate, which can prevent the advancing bolt from being separated from the movable plate without affecting the rotation of the advancing bolt, thereby realizing the push-pull action of the movable plate.

[0043] Among them, the vertical support plate 3 is also parallel to the vertical bracket 2, and the horizontal support plate 4 is parallel to the horizontal bracket 1. The materials of the above-mentioned support plates, movable plates, and fixed plates include but are not limited to aluminum alloy profiles. As for the specific size specifications, including but not limited to 40×40, 40×80, etc., no further restrictions are made here; the use of aluminum alloy profiles makes the device light in weight, low in cost, and easy to produce and use.

[0044] Furthermore, to prevent the device from damaging the photovoltaic module frame during use, a buffer layer may be provided on one or more of the vertical panel surface 31, the horizontal panel surface 41, the vertical movable surface 81, and the horizontal movable surface 51, with the buffer layer in contact with the frame of the frame assembly. Furthermore, to facilitate carrying the device, the protruding ends of the horizontal support 1 and / or the vertical support 2 may be utilized as handheld supports. Specifically, the ends of the horizontal support 1 may protrude from the vertical support plate 3, and / or the ends of the vertical support 2 may protrude from the horizontal support plate 4, so that the device can be easily lifted by lifting the protruding portions.

[0045] Since corner brackets need to be installed at the corners of the photovoltaic module frame, and the corner brackets may not be flush with the outer plane of the frame, if part of the support plate abuts against the corner brackets, the blocking effect of the support plate may not be fully exerted on the frame, causing the frame to deform. Therefore, the present application also sets the horizontal support plate 4 and the vertical support plate 3 at intervals, and reserves space at the intervals for accommodating the corner brackets, so that the support plate can avoid direct contact with the corner brackets when blocking the frame, thereby ensuring that the support plate can contact the frame surface.

[0046] When using this device, place the photovoltaic module on a raised platform with a height of about 60~100mm. The length and width of the platform are both smaller than the frame of the photovoltaic module. Pre-install the frame of the photovoltaic module and knock the corner code into place to keep the misalignment and gap ≤0.5mm. Place the device above the photovoltaic module with the vertical support plate 3 and the horizontal support plate 4 close to the edge of the photovoltaic module frame. Tighten the push bolts to push the movable plate to squeeze the frame until the overall size of the photovoltaic module meets the design requirements of the drawing. Maintain the force state for 10 minutes. After the photovoltaic module is initially stable, loosen the push bolts and remove the photovoltaic module frame assembly device.

[0047] It should be noted that, in this specification, relational terms such as first and second are merely used to distinguish one entity from other entities, but do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities.

[0048] This document uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The description of the above examples is only intended to help understand the method and core ideas of this application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of this application, various improvements and modifications can be made to this application, and such improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of this application.
