Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic components, and particularly relates to an adjustable mold. Background Art
[0002] Currently, with the rapid development of building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) technology, the variety of photovoltaic modules is increasing, and the types of frames are constantly changing. Modern BIPV modules include not only traditional crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules, but also new photovoltaic technologies such as thin-film photovoltaics and perovskite solar cells. These modules have their own characteristics in terms of size, shape, and power, which can meet the needs of different building structures and designs. However, this diverse development also brings challenges in installation and integration, especially placing higher demands on frame design. Traditional fixed frames are unable to cope with various complex installation environments and requirements. Therefore, the market urgently needs an adjustable frame that can flexibly adapt to different modules and installation conditions to meet the needs of the ever-evolving BIPV technology.
[0003] The benefits of developing BIPV are obvious. First, BIPV technology can maximize the use of building surfaces for photovoltaic power generation, effectively reducing dependence on traditional energy sources and lowering carbon emissions. This method of utilizing the building itself for energy production not only improves the building's energy efficiency but also promotes the development of green buildings. Secondly, the application of BIPV systems can significantly reduce a building's energy costs and increase its energy self-sufficiency rate, thereby bringing long-term economic benefits to building owners. Furthermore, the application of BIPV technology can also enhance the building's aesthetics and sense of technology, increasing its market competitiveness. Driven by both policies and markets, the widespread application of BIPV technology will provide strong support for achieving carbon neutrality goals and sustainable development.
[0004] In order to better adapt to the needs of BIPV development, it is necessary to make molds to produce integrated photovoltaic building structures. However, in the existing technology, the molds are usually integrated molds. Different molds are required for the production of photovoltaic building integrated structures of different shapes for different customers, thereby increasing manufacturing costs. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an adjustable mold to address the technical problem of increasing manufacturing costs by requiring different molds for different customer-specific photovoltaic integrated structures with different shapes. Through its modular design, flexible adjustments to the permutations and combinations of general and specialized components significantly reduce mold replacement costs, optimize production efficiency, and enhance production flexibility. This mold system reduces the need for multiple specialized molds, shortens production downtime, and thus improves the overall operational efficiency of the production line. It can also be flexibly adjusted to suit the design requirements of different photovoltaic modules, improving responsiveness to changing market demands.
[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides an adjustable mold, comprising:
[0007] Several long strips of general parts and special parts are arranged at intervals to form a frame shape of the mold. The general part is provided with a protruding structure, and the special part is provided with a groove structure for the protruding structure to be embedded in. The protruding structure is embedded in the groove structure.
[0008] Further, the protruding structure includes at least one universal mounting head;
[0009] The groove structure includes at least one dedicated mounting groove;
[0010] The universal mounting head is embedded in the dedicated mounting groove.
[0011] Furthermore, the universal portion is provided with a bolt hole for inserting a bolt to fix the inside of the mold.
[0012] Furthermore, the universal portion and the special portion form a frame-shaped mold, and purlins are arranged around the outer side of the frame.
[0013] Furthermore, the universal part and the dedicated part are connected via a mounting buckle.
[0014] Furthermore, the universal mounting head and the dedicated mounting slot are configured to be special-shaped.
[0015] Furthermore, the general part and the special part are made of steel.
[0016] Furthermore, the universal portion and the special portion are connected in a detachable manner.
[0017] Furthermore, the surface of the universal part is provided with an anti-rust coating.
[0018] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the dedicated portion is one of circular, rectangular, trapezoidal, and irregular.
[0019] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0020] 1. Through its modular design, flexible adjustments to the permutations and combinations of general and specialized parts significantly reduce mold replacement costs, optimize production efficiency, and enhance production flexibility. This mold system reduces the need for multiple specialized molds, shortens production downtime, and thus improves the overall operational efficiency of the production line. It can also be flexibly adjusted to meet the design requirements of different photovoltaic modules, improving responsiveness to changing market demands. This significantly reduces reliance on multiple sets of molds, lowers production costs, and improves production efficiency.
[0021] 2. The universal part and the special part are precisely spliced together through a preset concave-convex structure. The concave-convex structure not only ensures a tight connection between the two parts, but also improves the overall stability and precision of the mold, avoiding possible displacement or loosening during use.
[0022] 3. The assembled mold is fixed by internal bolts in the bolt holes, further enhancing the strength and durability of the mold. The bolt fixing method is simple and can be quickly disassembled and assembled, making it easy to assemble and replace the mold.
[0023] 4. To ensure the stability of the mold's shape, the mold is fixed to the outside with purlins after splicing. The addition of purlins not only improves the overall rigidity of the mold, but also provides additional support, allowing the mold to maintain a precise cross-sectional shape during processing.

[0039] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0040] Example:
[0041] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an adjustable mold comprises several elongated universal sections 1 and specialized sections 2, spaced apart to form a mold frame. The universal sections 1 are provided with protrusions 3, while the specialized sections 2 are provided with recesses 4 into which the protrusions 3 engage. The universal sections 1 and specialized sections 2 are made of steel to enhance overall strength. In this embodiment, the specialized sections 2 are L-shaped, forming the mold frame with the universal sections 1.
[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, multiple universal parts 1 can be placed between adjacent specialized parts 2 to form molds of different sizes.
[0043] The universal portion 1 and the dedicated portion 2 are detachably connected, which makes it convenient for the user to connect the universal portion 1 and the dedicated portion 2 to form a mold.
[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, the dedicated portion 2 is in a plate shape and fits the general portion 1 to form a specific shape.
[0045] In this embodiment, an anti-rust coating is provided on the surface of the general part 1 to prevent the general part 1 from rusting.
[0046] As Figure 4 shown, the cross-sectional shape of the special part 2 adopts one of a circle, a rectangle, a trapezoid, and a special shape to be applicable to photovoltaic modules of different shapes.
[0047] Among them, the convex structure 3 includes at least one general mounting head 31; the groove structure 4 includes at least one special mounting groove 41; the general mounting head 31 is embedded in the special mounting groove 41.
[0048] And the general part 1 and the special part 2 are detachably connected to form a mold with a frame structure.
[0049] In this embodiment, the general mounting head 31 and the special mounting groove 41 can be set to special shapes, and preferably adopt a C-shaped.
[0050] In this embodiment, in order to enhance the strength of the mold, bolt holes 11 are provided on the general part 1 to insert bolts to fix the inside of the mold. The assembled mold is fixed by internal bolts in the bolt holes 11, further enhancing the strength and durability of the mold. The bolt fixing method is simple and can be quickly disassembled and assembled, facilitating the assembly and replacement of the mold.
[0051] As Figure 5 shown, purlins 5 are provided on the outer periphery of the frame formed by the general part 1 and the special part 2.

[0052] Figure 6 As
[0053] As shown above: Through its modular design, flexibly adjusting the arrangement and combination of the general part 1 and the special part significantly reduces the mold replacement cost, optimizes the production efficiency, and enhances the production flexibility. This mold system reduces the demand for multiple special molds, shortens the production downtime, thereby improving the overall operation efficiency of the production line. At the same time, it can be flexibly adjusted to meet the design requirements of different photovoltaic modules, enhancing the response ability to market demand changes. Thus, it also significantly reduces the dependence on multiple sets of molds, reduces the production cost, and improves the production efficiency. The general part 1 and the special part 2 are precisely spliced through a preset concave-convex structure. The concave-convex structure not only ensures the tight connection between the two parts but also improves the overall stability and accuracy of the mold, avoiding displacement or loosening that may occur during use. To ensure the stable shape of the mold, the assembled mold is externally fixed by purlins 5.
