Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic technology, and in particular to a frame for a photovoltaic module, a photovoltaic module, and a photovoltaic system. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic modules consist of a laminate and a frame surrounding the laminate. Conventional frames typically have a protruding top surface (A-side) that protrudes from the laminate, making them prone to dust accumulation. To reduce dust accumulation, the A-side is usually removed, resulting in a frame without an A-side.

[0003] Currently, photovoltaic modules, including those without an A-side frame, require the use of pressure blocks during installation. These pressure blocks are typically fitted with rubber pads and pressed onto the front of the laminate.

[0004] However, when the pressure block is pressed onto the front of the laminate with a rubber pad, it will block the edge of the laminate, thereby reducing the light-facing area of ​​the laminate and affecting the light-gathering of the photovoltaic module. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0054] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0055] In one aspect, some embodiments of this utility model disclose a frame 1.

[0056] Example 1

[0057] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The frame 1 of the photovoltaic module includes a top plate 13, a first side plate 10, a second side plate 11, a third side plate 12, a support plate 14, a bottom plate 15, and a pressing block 16. The second side plate 11 and the third side plate 12 are located between the support plate 14 and the bottom plate 15, with the second side plate 11 and the third side plate 12 facing each other, and the support plate 14 and the bottom plate 15 facing each other, forming a frame cavity. The top plate and the support plate are respectively connected to the two ends of the first side plate and are located on the same side of the first side plate. The top plate 13, the first side plate 10, and the support plate 14 form a laminate mounting part, and the top plate 13 satisfies the following condition: when the laminate 2 is installed in the laminate mounting part, the top plate 13, in the bearing... The orthographic projection on the carrier plate 14 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the laminate 2 on the carrier plate 14; the second side plate 11 includes a transition portion 111 and a first side portion 112, the first end and the second end of the transition portion 111 are respectively connected to the first side plate 10 and the first side portion 112, and the second end of the transition portion 111 is closer to the third side plate 12 than the first end of the transition portion 111; the pressing block portion 16 is disposed at the end of the first side portion 112 away from the transition portion 111; the end of the pressing block portion 16 away from the frame cavity is connected to a pressing protrusion 17 protruding toward the carrier plate 14; the first side portion 112, the pressing block portion 16 and the pressing protrusion 17 form a pressing block mounting groove.

[0058] The top plate 13 is located above the support plate 14. The pressing part 16 is used for pressing the pressing block 3. The frame cavity is formed by the second side plate 11, the support plate 14, the third side plate 12, and the bottom plate 15, and the frame cavity specifically extends through the frame 1 along its length. The frame cavity is specifically an irregularly shaped cavity. Along the width direction of the frame 1, the frame 1 has a first side and a second side, and the top plate 13, the first side plate 10, the second side plate 11, and the pressing part 16 are all located on the first side of the frame 1. The width direction of the frame 1 can be referred to... Figure 1 The direction indicated by arrow A in the middle.

[0059] The second end of the transition portion 111 is closer to the third side plate 12 than the first end of the transition portion 111. That is, along the width direction of the photovoltaic module frame 1, the distance between the second end of the transition portion 111 and the third side plate 12 is smaller than the distance between the first end of the transition portion 111 and the third side plate 12.

[0060] The frame 1 also has a side opening 18, which is located between the transition portion 111 and the pressing protrusion 17, and is connected to the pressing block mounting groove. In this embodiment, the transition portion 111 includes a straight wall section 1111 and a transition section 1112, and the side opening 18 is specifically located between the end of the straight wall section 1111 near the transition section 1112 and the pressing protrusion 17. The side opening 18 facilitates the insertion of the pressing block 3.

[0061] The frame 1 includes a pressing block 16, which is connected to the first side plate 10 through the first side portion 112 and the transition portion 111. When the pressing block 3 is installed, the pressing block 3 is pressed onto the pressing block 16. The pressing block 3 will not block the light-facing surface of the laminate 2. Furthermore, when the laminate 2 is installed in the laminate mounting portion, the orthographic projection of the top plate 13 on the support plate 14 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the laminate 2 on the support plate 14. That is, the top plate 13 will not cover the light-facing surface of the laminate 2. Therefore, the light-facing surface of the laminate 2 will not be blocked by the frame 1. Thus, the light-facing area of ​​the laminate 2 can be increased, thereby increasing the power generation of the photovoltaic module.

[0062] Furthermore, when the laminate 2 is installed in the laminate mounting section, the orthographic projection of the top plate 13 on the support plate 14 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the laminate 2 on the support plate 14, which also gives the frame 1 a dust-proof effect, facilitating the later maintenance of the photovoltaic module. In addition, the pressing part 16 is located on the outside of the frame cavity, so the pressing block 3 can be installed without opening a through hole in the second side plate 11 itself, which facilitates the installation of the pressing block 3.

[0063] In some embodiments, the frame 1 is applied to a photovoltaic module, which includes the frame 1 and a laminate 2. The laminate 2 may include a transparent cover plate, an upper encapsulating film, a solar cell, a lower encapsulating film, and a backsheet or back glass, arranged sequentially. The side of the laminate 2 that receives light is the light-facing side, and the side of the laminate 2 opposite to the light-facing side is the bottom side. The frame 1 may be made of aluminum alloy or steel, etc., and is used to protect the laminate 2. The frame 1 may be a long frame provided on the edge of the long side of the laminate 2, or a short frame provided on the edge of the short side of the laminate 2.

[0064] In some embodiments, the laminate mounting portion includes a groove formed by a top plate 13, a first side plate 10, and a support plate 14. The support plate 14 is used to bond to the bottom surface of the laminate 2, and the top plate 13 and the first side plate 10 are used to bond to the sidewalls of the laminate 2. The support plate 14 can be bonded to the bottom surface of the laminate 2 using encapsulating adhesive, and the top plate 13 and the first side plate 10 can be bonded to the sidewalls of the laminate 2 using encapsulating adhesive. The encapsulating adhesive can be silicone, a one-component structural adhesive, a two-component structural adhesive, or other adhesives.

[0065] In some embodiments, the photovoltaic module further includes corner brackets, which connect two frame pieces 1 at one corner of the photovoltaic module. A frame cavity is used to accommodate the corner brackets. The corner brackets can be riveted to the frame pieces 1. The transition portion 111 may include a transition section 1112, which may be inclined and have an arc-shaped cross-section. The transition portion 111 increases the surface area of ​​the second side plate 11 in the frame piece 1, providing support during corner bracket riveting and improving the rigidity of the frame piece 1.

[0066] In some embodiments, when the support plate 14 is bonded to the bottom surface of the laminate 2, the surface of the top plate 13 facing away from the support plate 14 is preferably lower than or flush with the light-facing surface of the laminate 2. When the surface of the top plate 13 facing away from the support plate 14 is lower than or flush with the light-facing surface of the laminate 2, rainwater can flow directly down from the top plate 13, thereby achieving dust removal. That is, the rainwater is not blocked by the frame 1 during the dust washing process, which improves the dust removal effect of the frame 1.

[0067] In some embodiments, a pressure block mounting groove is used for the pressure block 3 to extend into, and the shape of the pressure block mounting groove can be rectangular, trapezoidal, irregular polygonal, etc. The pressure block pressing part 16 has a pressing surface close to the bearing plate 14, and the surface of the pressing protrusion 17 near the first side 112 can be an inclined surface, and the angle β between the inclined surface and the plane where the pressing surface is located can be 45 degrees to 90 degrees. For example, the angle β between the inclined surface and the horizontal plane can be 45 degrees, 50 degrees, 55 degrees, 60 degrees, 65 degrees, 70 degrees, 75 degrees, 80 degrees, 90 degrees, etc.

[0068] In some embodiments, the pressing block 3 includes a main body 31, a pressing end 32, and a support 33. The pressing end 32 is connected to the end of the main body 31 along its width direction, and the support 33 is connected to the main body 31. Specifically, the pressing end 32 of the pressing block 3 is pressed onto the pressing block pressing part 16. The main body 31 may have mounting holes. There may be two pressing ends 32, each connected to one end of the main body 31 along its width direction. There may also be two support parts 33, each located near one of the two pressing ends 32. When the pressing end 32 is pressed onto the pressing block pressing part 16, it may contact the pressing protrusion 17 and the first side portion 112. The pressing protrusion 17 and the pressing block mounting groove facilitate the installation of the pressing block 3 and provide a certain limiting effect on the frame 1, preventing the frame 1 from separating from the pressing block 3.

[0069] In some embodiments, the ratio of the height of the side opening 18 to the height of the frame 1 along the height direction of the frame 1 is 25%-65%. The height of the side opening 18 is the distance between the end of the transition portion 111 away from the first side portion 112 and the end of the pressing protrusion 17 near the transition portion 111 along the height direction of the frame 1. The height of the side opening 18 can be referenced... Figure 1 The height h shown is the height of the frame 1, which is the distance between the upper surface of the top plate 13 away from the upper surface of the support plate 14 and the lower surface of the bottom plate 15 away from the support plate 14 along the height direction of the frame 1. The height of the frame 1 can be referenced. Figure 1 H is shown in the figure.

[0070] The ratio of the height h of the side opening 18 to the height H of the frame 1 is 25%-65%, for example, it can be 25%, 30%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 64%, etc. When the ratio of the height h of the side opening 18 to the height H of the frame 1 is within the above range, it is convenient to insert the pressure block 3, while ensuring the strength of the frame 1 and avoiding the impact on the strength of the frame 1 due to the excessive height of the side opening 18.

[0071] When the height H of the frame 1 is 35mm, the ratio of the height h of the side opening 18 to the height H of the frame 1 is preferably 45%-65%. When the height H of the frame 1 is 30mm, the ratio of the height h of the side opening 18 to the height H of the frame 1 is preferably 30%-55%.

[0072] In some embodiments, the transition portion 111 includes a transition section 1112, which is not parallel to the first side plate 10 and is inclined relative to the first side portion 112. The angle between the transition section 1112 and the first side portion 112 is 120 degrees to 150 degrees.

[0073] The transition portion 111 further includes a straight wall section 1111 connected to the end of the transition segment 1112 away from the first side portion 112. The height direction of the frame 1 can be referenced... Figure 1 The direction indicated by arrow B. The angle α between the transition segment 1112 and the first side portion 112 is 120 degrees to 150 degrees, for example, it can be...

[0074] The angles are 120 degrees, 125 degrees, 130 degrees, 135 degrees, 140 degrees, 145 degrees, 150 degrees, etc. When the angle between the transition section 1112 and the first side portion 112 is small, it is beneficial for stamping the corner bracket rivets, but the deformation of the frame 1 under frontal load will be greater. When the angle between the transition section 1112 and the first side portion 112 is large, the area of ​​the sidewall on the first side of the frame 1 is small, which is not conducive to stamping the corner bracket rivets. When the angle between the transition section 1112 and the first side portion 112 is within the above range, the area of ​​the sidewall on the first side of the frame 1 can be maximized to provide support during corner bracket riveting, while also giving the frame 1 better rigidity.

[0075] In some embodiments, starting from the junction of the second side plate 11 and the support plate 14, the frame 1 includes a transition portion 111 and a first side portion 112 connected in sequence, and one end of the pressing block portion 16 is connected to the junction of the bottom plate 15 and the first side portion 112. The second side plate 11 only includes the transition portion 111 and the first side portion 112, and the structure of the second side plate 11 and the frame cavity is simple.

[0076] In some implementations, reference is made to Figure 3 The first side plate 10 also includes a first protrusion structure 101 protruding toward the laminate mounting portion. The first protrusion structure 101 protrudes obliquely toward the support plate 14, or parallel to the support plate 14, or obliquely toward the top plate 13. That is, with the direction from the second side plate 11 to the third side plate 12 as the first direction, the first protrusion structure 101 may be inclined downwards along the first direction, or horizontally arranged along the first direction, or inclined upwards along the first direction. The first direction can be referred to... Figure 3 The direction indicated by the arrow C. The top plate 13 has an inner surface 131 that slopes upward along a first direction.

[0077] In some embodiments, a second protruding structure 19 is provided at the end of the support plate 14 away from the first side plate 10. The second protruding structure 19 protrudes upward, and the second protruding structure 19, the support plate 14, and the first side plate 10 form an adhesive receiving groove, which serves to receive silicone, and the second protruding structure 19 serves to prevent adhesive spillage. A plurality of third protruding structures are also provided on the upper surface of the support plate 14 near the top plate 13. The plurality of third protruding structures are spaced apart, and the third protruding structures are preferably lower than the second protruding structure 19.

[0078] In some embodiments, the surface of the pressing block 16 facing away from the support plate 14 is flush with the surface of the base plate 15 facing away from the support plate 14. The base plate 15 may have bolt mounting holes, which are used to connect to the purlin 4 via bolts. Alternatively, the base plate 15 may not have bolt mounting holes; in this case, the frame 1 is connected to the purlin 4 only through the pressing block 3 and the fastening assembly 5. The lower position of the pressing block 16 allows the center of gravity of the pressing block 3 to shift downwards, improving the installation reliability of the photovoltaic module. Furthermore, the bolts connecting to the base plate 15 can be eliminated.

[0079] In some embodiments, the ratio of the height of the first side portion 112 to the height of the transition portion 111 along the height direction of the frame 1 is 0.25-4.

[0080] The height of the first side portion 112 can be referenced. Figure 1 The height of the transition section 111 shown in the figure (H2) can be referenced. Figure 1 H1 is shown in the figure. The ratio of the height H2 of the first side portion 112 to the height H1 of the transition portion 111 is 0.25-4, for example, it can be 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. When the ratio of the height of the first side portion 112 to the height of the transition portion 111 is within the above range, the frame 1 can have good rigidity.

[0081] The height H1 of the transition section 111 is the sum of the height H3 of the straight wall section 1111 and the height H4 of the transition section 1112. The ratio of the height H3 of the straight wall section 1111 to the height H4 of the transition section 1112 can be 0.2-2. Specifically, the ratio of the height H3 of the straight wall section 1111 to the height H4 of the transition section 1112 can be 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.8, 1, 1.5, 2, etc. The ratio of the height H3 of the straight wall section 1111, the height H4 of the transition section 1112, and the height H2 of the first side section 112 can be 1:1:2, 1:5:10, 2:1:7, etc.

[0082] In some embodiments, along the width direction of the frame 1, the first distance is the distance between the surface of the pressing protrusion 17 away from the first side portion 112 and the surface of the first side portion 112 away from the third side plate 12, and the second distance is the distance between the surface of the first side portion 112 away from the third side plate 12 and the surface of the third side plate 12 away from the second side plate 11. The first distance is less than the second distance, and the ratio of the first distance to the second distance is 0.4-0.8. The first distance can be referenced... Figure 1 The second distance, W1, shown in the figure, can be referenced. Figure 1The ratio of the first distance W1 to the second distance W2 shown is 0.4-0.8, for example, it can be 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, etc. In this embodiment, when the ratio of the first distance to the second distance is within the above range, it can ensure that the pressing block 3 has a certain pressing distance along the width direction of the frame 1, while avoiding the increase in cost caused by excessive size.

[0083] In some embodiments, the position of the pressing protrusion 17 corresponds to the position of the first side plate 10 along the width direction of the frame 1. Preferably, the distance between the surface of the pressing protrusion 17 away from the first side portion 112 and the surface of the first side plate 10 away from the third side plate 12 along the width direction of the frame 1 is 0.

[0084] Along the width direction of the frame 1, the surface of the pressing protrusion 17 away from the first side 112 can be located on the side of the first side plate 10 away from the third side plate 12. In this case, along the width direction of the frame 1, the distance between the surface of the pressing protrusion 17 away from the first side 112 and the surface of the first side plate 10 away from the third side plate 12 is less than or equal to W1. Alternatively, along the width direction of the frame 1, the surface of the pressing protrusion 17 away from the first side 112 can also be located on the side of the first side plate 10 closer to the third side plate 12. In this case, along the width direction of the frame 1, the distance between the surface of the pressing protrusion 17 away from the first side 112 and the surface of the first side plate 10 away from the third side plate 12 is less than or equal to 0.5 times W1.

Along the height direction of the frame 1, the distance between the pressing block portion 16 and the base plate 15 is greater than zero. The distance between the pressing block portion 16 and the base plate 15 is less than the distance between the pressing block portion 16 and the bearing plate 14, which makes the position of the pressing block portion 16 lower, thereby allowing the center of gravity of the pressing block 3 to be lowered, which can improve the installation reliability of the photovoltaic module; in addition, the bolts connected to the base plate 15 can be eliminated.

[0088] In some embodiments, the pressing block 16 has a pressing surface close to the support plate 14, and the ratio of the distance between the support plate 14 and the pressing surface to the distance between the pressing surface and the bottom plate 15 along the height direction of the frame 1 is 2-4, and the ratio of the height of the transition portion 111 to the height of the first side portion 112 is 0.2-2.

[0089] In some embodiments, the distance between the bearing plate 14 and the pressing surface can be referenced. Figure 8 The distance between the H5 shown in the figure and the base plate 15 can be referenced. Figure 8 H6 is shown in the figure. The ratio of the distance H5 between the bearing plate 14 and the pressing surface to the distance H6 between the pressing surface and the base plate 15 is 2-4, for example, it can be 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, etc.

[0090] In some embodiments, the transition section 111 may consist only of the transition segment 1112, or it may include both the transition segment 1112 and the straight-wall segment 1111. The height of the transition section 111 can be referenced. Figure 8 The height of the first side portion 112 shown in the figure can be referenced. Figure 8 H8 is shown in the diagram. The distance H5 between the bearing plate 14 and the pressing surface is the sum of the height H7 of the transition portion 111 and the height H8 of the first side portion 112. The ratio of the height H7 of the transition portion 111 to the height H8 of the first side portion 112 can be 0.2-2. The ratio of the height H7 of the transition portion 111 to the height H8 of the first side portion 112 can be 0.2-2, for example, 0.2, 0.5, 0.6, 1, 1.5, 2, etc. The ratio of the height H7 of the transition portion 111, the height H8 of the first side portion 112, and the distance H6 between the pressing surface and the base plate 15 can be 3:5:2, 2:3:2, etc.

The arc of the transition segment 1112 protrudes away from the third side plate 12. When the cross-sectional shape of the transition segment 1112 is arc-shaped, the overall frame 1 is smoother and more aesthetically pleasing. The radius R1 of the arc of the transition segment 1112 can be set according to actual needs, for example, it can be set to 8mm-16mm.
