[0032] To help those skilled in the art better understand the present invention, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described are only a portion of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments derived by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] The core of the utility model is to provide a transparent cover for photovoltaic modules, a structural diagram of a specific embodiment of which is shown in FIG. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it is called the specific embodiment 1, including a transparent substrate 10 and a film strip 20;

[0034] The transparent substrate 10 includes a substrate plate 11 and barbs 12;

[0035] The first surface of the base plate 11 includes a film placement area, and a plurality of the barbs 12 are arranged in the film placement area;

[0036] The adhesive film strip 20 is disposed in the film placement area and is fixedly connected to the transparent substrate 10 via the barbs 12 .

[0037] For reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 The figure is an exploded view of the structure of the transparent cover plate for photovoltaic modules.

[0038] Preferably, the barbs 12 are transparent barbs 12. By defining the barbs 12 as light-transmissive barbs 12, light shielding by the transparent cover can be further avoided, allowing more light to enter the surface of the solar cell in the photovoltaic module, thereby improving the photovoltaic module's photoelectric conversion efficiency.

[0039] It should be noted that the barb 12 can also be an opaque barb 12. Since the area of ​​the barb 12 on the substrate is very small, even if the substrate plate 11 is transparent and the barb 12 is opaque, the substrate as a whole is transparent and can still be considered as a transparent substrate 10.

[0040] As a specific embodiment, the barb 12 is a hook-shaped structure formed by local deformation of the base plate 11. That is, in this specific embodiment, the base plate 11 and the barb 12 are originally integrated, and through subsequent processing procedures, they are shaped into a flat base plate 11 and the barb 12 on the base plate 11. For example, the material is first processed into a flat shape as a whole, and then the barb 12 is formed on the first surface using a needle or other means, or the barb 12 is formed on the first surface using a mold pressurization method. The present invention does not limit this. Obviously, in this specific embodiment, the base plate 11 and the barb 12 are defined as an integrated structure, which has better connection stability between the two, while further reducing the complexity of the production process of the transparent cover, improving production efficiency and yield rate.

[0041] Furthermore, the transparent substrate 10 is at least one of a glass substrate and a resin substrate. Both the glass substrate and the resin substrate have good structural strength and excellent light transmittance, and can be selected according to actual needs. Of course, other types of transparent substrates 10 can also be used, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0042] Furthermore, the adhesive film strip 20 is at least one of an EVA adhesive film strip 20, a POE adhesive film strip 20, an EPE adhesive film strip 20, an EP adhesive film strip 20, a PVB adhesive film strip 20, and a TPO adhesive film strip 20. All of the above adhesive film strips 20 have sufficient viscosity and a large deformation coefficient while ensuring high transparency, and can help stabilize the photovoltaic module structure while providing protection for the solar cells therein. Of course, other types of adhesive film strips 20 can also be selected according to actual circumstances, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0043] The gram weight of the adhesive film strip 20 ranges from 50 grams to 400 grams, such as any one of 50.0 grams, 222.5 grams or 400.0 grams; the thickness of the adhesive film strip 20 ranges from 0.05 mm to 0.45 mm, including endpoint values, such as any one of 0.050 mm / 0.153 mm or 0.450 mm; the width of the adhesive film strip 20 ranges from 5 mm to 150 mm, including endpoint values, such as any one of 5.0 mm, 78.1 mm or 150.0 mm.

[0044] The above-mentioned parameter limitation of the adhesive film strip 20 is the optimal range obtained after a large number of theoretical calculations and actual tests. Within the above-mentioned range, the adhesive film strip 20 can well protect the solar cell sandwiched by the transparent cover after the lamination process of the photovoltaic module, and it will not be too thick to affect the performance of the module. At the same time, it can also be firmly connected with the barb 12 to avoid falling off. Of course, the above-mentioned parameters can also be adjusted accordingly according to actual conditions, and the present utility model does not limit them here.

[0045] In addition, the adhesive film strips 20 are arranged in parallel along the first direction. That is, all the adhesive film strips 20 are arranged in a "chuan" shape on the first surface, which has a simple structure and is convenient for production, and it is easy to control the overall thickness of the component.

[0046] Alternatively, as another specific embodiment, the adhesive film strips 20 are arranged in a grid pattern along the first direction and the second direction; the first direction intersects with the second direction. In this specific embodiment, the adhesive film strips 20 are divided into two categories, one category extends along the first direction, and the other category extends along the second direction. This setting method can greatly improve the connection stability between the adhesive film strips 20 and the transparent substrate 10. Of course, further, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, which can be referred to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 is the top view of the arrangement of the adhesive film strips 20 on the film placement area, Figure 3 is Figure 2 the exploded view of the structure of the corresponding transparent cover plate, Figure 2 and Figure 3 In [reference document], the adhesive film strips 20 extending along the first direction are represented by 20a, and the adhesive film strips 20 extending along the second direction are represented by 20b. When the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, a relatively small amount of adhesive film strip 20 material can cover a larger area.

[0047] As a preferred embodiment, the adhesive film strips 20 are fixedly connected to the transparent substrate 10 by at least one of friction connection, cold press connection, and thermal bonding. The friction connection means that the adhesive film strips 20 are adhered to the transparent substrate 10 through friction, which can be that the adhesive film strips 20 slide on the transparent substrate 10 and are finally fixed, or the transparent substrate 10 slides on the adhesive film strips 20 and is finally fixed, or the adhesive film strips 20 and the transparent substrate 10 slide relatively and are finally fixed; the number of friction points starts from 1 and has no upper limit, which can be determined according to actual situations; the cold press connection is a connection method in which the points to be adhered are fixed on the transparent substrate 10 by applying a certain pressure; the thermal bonding is: by heating (the heating methods include infrared welding, electromagnetic welding, hot air blowing, metal contact, and other heating methods that can be realized), a part of the adhesive film strips 20 itself reacts to provide viscosity and adheres to the transparent substrate 10. Of course, other connection means can also be selected according to actual situations, and the present invention does not limit this here.

[0048] As a preferred embodiment, the projected dimension of the barb 12 on the base plate 11 does not exceed 0.05 mm; the height of the barb 12 does not exceed 0.05 mm.

[0049] The projected size of the barb 12 on the base plate 11 refers to the long axis length of the projection of the barb 12 on the base plate 11. The above parameters are the optimal ranges after a large number of theoretical calculations and actual tests. Within the above ranges, the barb 12 can have excellent connection and fixing performance with the film strip 20, and will not be too large or too high to damage the solar cell during the subsequent lamination process of the photovoltaic module.

[0050] Furthermore, the height of the tip of the barb 12 from the base plate 11 is half the height of the barb 12. When the height of the tip of the barb 12 from the base plate 11 is half the height of the barb 12, the barb 12 can be more firmly fixed to the adhesive film strip 20, and the production difficulty and cost are also low. Figure 4 , Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of the transparent cover plate in the film placement area, Figure 4 In FIG. 5 , d represents the height between the tip of the barb 12 and the base plate 11 .

[0051] The transparent cover plate for a photovoltaic module provided by the present invention comprises a transparent substrate 10 and an adhesive film strip 20; the transparent substrate 10 comprises a substrate plate 11 and barbs 12; the first surface of the substrate plate 11 comprises a film placement area, wherein a plurality of barbs 12 are provided in the film placement area; the adhesive film strip 20 is provided in the film placement area and fixedly connected to the transparent substrate 10 via the barbs 12. The present invention pre-assembles the transparent substrate 10 and the adhesive film strip 20 of the photovoltaic module, and provides the barbs 12 on the transparent substrate. The barbs 12 are used to firmly secure the adhesive film strip 20 to the transparent substrate, thereby preventing relative displacement or even falling off of the transparent substrate 10 and the adhesive film strip 20 during transportation and assembly of the module. The alignment and assembly of the adhesive film strip 20 and the transparent substrate 10 are no longer required during the final assembly of the photovoltaic module, thereby significantly shortening the total time required for photovoltaic module assembly, improving the production efficiency of photovoltaic modules, and reducing the overall amount of adhesive film used.

[0052] The present invention further provides a photovoltaic assembly, which is referred to as a second embodiment. The photovoltaic assembly includes any of the transparent cover plates described above;

[0053] The first surface of the base plate 11 of the transparent cover plate faces the inner side of the photovoltaic module. The transparent cover plate for a photovoltaic module provided by the present invention comprises a transparent base 10 and an adhesive film strip 20; the transparent base 10 comprises a base plate 11 and barbs 12; the first surface of the base plate 11 comprises a film placement area, wherein a plurality of barbs 12 are provided in the film placement area; the adhesive film strip 20 is provided in the film placement area and fixedly connected to the transparent base 10 via the barbs 12. The present invention pre-assembles the transparent base 10 and the adhesive film strip 20 of the photovoltaic module, and provides the barbs 12 on the transparent substrate. The barbs 12 are used to firmly secure the adhesive film strip 20 to the transparent substrate, thereby preventing relative displacement or even falling off of the transparent base 10 and the adhesive film strip 20 during transportation and assembly of the transparent cover plate. The adhesive film strip 20 does not need to be aligned and assembled with the transparent base 10 during the final assembly of the photovoltaic module, thereby greatly shortening the total time required for photovoltaic module assembly and improving the production efficiency of photovoltaic modules.
