Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the photovoltaic field, specifically a novel frame for photovoltaic tiles. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) applications, photovoltaic tiles are a prime example. They successfully combine the basic functions of traditional tiles with photovoltaic power generation capabilities, and when laid on building roofs, they form rooftop photovoltaic systems.
[0003] Currently, the main differences in key design aspects of existing photovoltaic (PV) tile technologies lie in the frame structure design and the installation structure used to fix the PV tiles. Among these, the frame structure design is crucial, as it directly affects the roof's waterproofing performance. If a single PV tile malfunctions, current solutions often require removing multiple tiles to perform maintenance, significantly increasing the complexity and workload of maintenance. Furthermore, the additional cover plates are prone to slipping, and simultaneously increase the gaps between rows of PV tiles on the roof. This not only affects the overall aesthetics of the roof but may also negatively impact the system's stability and waterproofing performance. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a novel frame for photovoltaic tiles.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a novel frame for photovoltaic tiles, including a left frame and a right frame, the left frame and the right frame abutting each other; a retaining plate is provided on the left frame and the right frame, the retaining plate is provided with a retaining groove, the retaining groove is used to retain a sealing gasket; photovoltaic tiles are engaged on both the left frame and the right frame, an upper overlapping plate is provided on the left frame, a lower overlapping plate is provided on the right frame, and the upper overlapping plate and the lower overlapping plate overlap each other.
[0006] Preferably, frame beams are provided on the left and right side frames, and the frame beams slide on the connecting beams.
[0007] Preferably, the frame beam is provided with two protrusions, which are used to press against the connecting beam;
[0008] Preferably, the frame beam is provided with a buckle, which limits the frame beam when it slides.
[0009] Beneficial effects:
[0010] The left and right side frames can be quickly combined, resulting in a tighter fit during use. The upper and lower mounting plates abut against each other, securing the photovoltaic tiles to both the left and right sides. This tight fit between the left and right frames secures the photovoltaic tiles. The overlapping of the left and right frames provides excellent roof waterproofing and structural stability. The simple design of the installation components facilitates easy installation. Each photovoltaic tile is firmly fixed to the pitched roof by being limited by the upper row of tiles and the lower part by the installation components. If a single photovoltaic tile malfunctions, it can be removed independently. This roof photovoltaic system offers significant advantages in terms of long-term maintenance. Attached Figure Description
