Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Currently, the installed capacity of large-scale ground-mounted and distributed power plants is increasing annually, and the types of modules and installation methods employed are also diverse. Large-scale ground-mounted power plants and most distributed power plants utilize traditional frame solutions, employing technologies such as anodizing, hot-dip galvanizing, and UV resistance to withstand the moisture and load stresses of installed modules, achieving a lifespan of 25 years or more. Large-scale ground-mounted (photovoltaic) power plants typically have larger installed capacities, require extensive installation work, and are complex to operate and maintain. In contrast, distributed (photovoltaic) power plants are favored by users, and these plants impose stricter requirements on module appearance and electrical performance than conventional modules.

[0003] During the installation process, existing equipment is very inconvenient to freely adjust the size of the equipment to adapt to and install photovoltaic panels of various sizes for use, which affects the efficiency of the installation work. It is also inconvenient to lock or unlock the installed photovoltaic panels, which makes it very easy for the photovoltaic panels to fall off the equipment. Therefore, we propose a new photovoltaic module frame. Utility Model Content

[0013] Furthermore, a knob cover is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the gear, and a knob is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the knob cover.

[0014] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The utility model is provided with a connecting plate. When using the device, it is necessary to first adjust the device to a suitable size and be able to place the photovoltaic panel. You only need to turn the knob counterclockwise by hand, the knob will drive the knob cover to rotate, the knob cover will drive the gear to rotate, the gear drives the rack to move outward, the rack drives the fixed plate to move outward, the fixed plate drives the support plate and the connecting plate to move outward, and the connecting plate drives the main frame to move outward.

[0016] 2. The utility model is provided with a lock. If it is necessary to lock the photovoltaic panel so that the photovoltaic panel does not move during use, it is only necessary to wait until the spring piece drives the angle seat to rotate back to the original steering angle due to its own elasticity, and then push the push button outward by hand.
