Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of photovoltaic module installation technology, and in particular relates to a structurally stable photovoltaic module frame. Background Technology
[0002] Photovoltaic modules, also known as solar panels, are the core and most important component of a solar power generation system. In a photovoltaic module, the laminated components, including the solar cells, are sealed and secured by the module frame. The frame's function is to enhance the module's mechanical strength, seal the edges of the laminated components, and fix the module to the support structure. Currently, most photovoltaic module frames use a snap-fit fixing method. This is extremely inconvenient when disassembling, replacing, or repairing the modules, requiring multiple people to work together to remove the modules from the frame. This not only affects work efficiency but also, over time, the frame deforms, causing the snap-fit to weaken and potentially damaging the modules. Therefore, the current technology of using the principle of photovoltaic module deformation to snap-fit photovoltaic modules makes installation and removal inconvenient and inefficient. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the technical problem of inconvenient installation and removal of photovoltaic modules, this utility model provides a structurally stable photovoltaic module frame, including a horizontally arranged lower support plate. A vertically arranged upright plate is fixed to the rear end of the lower support plate, which provides support. Two symmetrically arranged support blocks are fixed to the top of the upright plate, located at opposite ends of the upright plate. An upper pressure plate is provided between the two support blocks. Horizontally arranged support rods are fixed to both ends of the upper pressure plate, and the support rods are rotatably mounted on the support blocks. Rotating the upper pressure plate can adjust its position and angle. The top of the upper pressure plate has several strip-shaped holes along its width, and these holes are spaced apart along its length. The top of the lower support plate has several columns that correspond one-to-one with the strip-shaped holes. Each column has an internally threaded hole, and a vertically threaded rod is connected to the internal thread of the threaded hole. The upper end of the threaded rod passes through the strip-shaped hole, and a clamping knob is fixed to the top of the threaded rod. In use, rotating the threaded rod counterclockwise moves it vertically upward, disengaging the clamping knob from the upper pressure plate. The upper pressure plate can then rotate at a certain angle to remove the photovoltaic module. After the photovoltaic module is replaced, rotating the threaded rod clockwise causes the clamping knob to contact and press against the upper pressure plate, thus pressurizing and fixing the photovoltaic module.
[0004] Preferably, the front end of the upper pressure plate is fixed with a claw for pressing the photovoltaic panel, and the lower side of the claw is curved.
[0005] Preferably, a vertically installed baffle is fixed to the top of the lower support plate on one side of the upright plate, and the top of the baffle is lower than the top of the upright column. The baffle serves to limit and position the column.
[0006] Preferably, the top of the lower support plate is provided with anti-slip teeth.
[0007] Preferably, the top of the lower support plate has two symmetrical and spaced fixing holes, which are located at both ends of the lower support plate.
[0008] The above scheme has the following advantages:
[0009] The upper pressure plate, column, threaded rod, and clamping knob are designed so that rotating the threaded rod counterclockwise moves it vertically upwards, disengaging the clamping knob from the upper pressure plate. This allows the upper pressure plate to rotate at a certain angle, removing the photovoltaic module. After the photovoltaic module is replaced, rotating the threaded rod clockwise causes the clamping knob to contact and press against the upper pressure plate, which then applies pressure to secure the photovoltaic module. This facilitates the removal and replacement of photovoltaic modules and improves work efficiency. The baffle serves for positioning and limiting; the anti-slip teeth increase friction, making it easier to secure the photovoltaic module. Attached Figure Description

[0015] like Figure 1-4As shown, a structurally stable photovoltaic module frame includes a horizontally arranged lower support plate 1, a vertically arranged upright plate 2 fixed to the rear end of the lower support plate 1, the upright plate 2 serving as a support, and two symmetrically arranged support blocks 21 fixed to the top of the upright plate 2, the two support blocks 21 being located at opposite ends of the upright plate 2, and an upper pressure plate 3 being provided between the two support blocks 21. Both ends of the upper pressure plate 3 are fixed with horizontally arranged support rods 31, and the support rods 31 are rotatably mounted on the support blocks 21. Rotating the upper pressure plate 3 can adjust the position and angle of the upper pressure plate 3. The top of the upper pressure plate 3 has several strip holes 33 along the width direction of the upper pressure plate 3, and each strip hole 33 is spaced apart along the length direction of the upper pressure plate 3. The top of the lower support plate 1 has several columns 4 that correspond one-to-one with the strip holes 33. The columns 4 have internal threaded holes, and the internal threads of the internal threaded holes are connected to vertically arranged threaded rods 41. The upper end of the threaded rods 41 passes through the strip holes 33 upwards, and the top end of the threaded rods 41 is fixed with a clamping knob 42. When in use, the threaded rods 41 are rotated counterclockwise, and the threaded rods 41 move vertically upwards. The clamping knob 42 disengages from the upper pressure plate 3, and the upper pressure plate 3 can rotate a certain angle to remove the photovoltaic module. After the photovoltaic module is replaced, the threaded rods 41 are rotated clockwise, so that the clamping knob 42 contacts and presses the upper pressure plate 3, and the upper pressure plate 3 presses and fixes the photovoltaic module.
[0016] Preferably, the front end of the upper pressure plate 3 is fixed with a claw 32 for pressing the photovoltaic panel, and the lower side of the claw 32 is curved.
[0017] Preferably, a vertically arranged baffle 5 is fixed to the top of the lower support plate 1 on one side of the upright plate 2, and the top of the baffle 5 is lower than the top of the column 4. The baffle 5 serves to limit and position the column.
[0018] Preferably, the top of the lower support plate 1 is provided with anti-slip teeth 12.
[0019] Preferably, the top end of the lower support plate 1 has two symmetrical and spaced fixing holes 11, which are located at both ends of the lower support plate 1.
[0020] Usage process:
[0021] In use, the lower support plate 1 is first fixed to the support frame through the fixing hole 11. Then, the clamping knob 42 is rotated counterclockwise. The threaded rod 41 moves upward along the column 4 a certain distance. At this time, the upper pressure plate 3 can be rotated at a certain angle to increase the distance between the claw 32 and the lower support plate 1. The frame of the photovoltaic module is placed between the lower support plate 1 and the claw 32 until the photovoltaic module grounding baffle 5 is reached. Then, each clamping knob 42 is rotated. The clamping knob 42 drives the threaded rod 41 to rotate and move downward. The clamping knob 42 presses the upper pressure plate 3 downward until the claw 32 contacts and abuts against the photovoltaic module.
