Technical Field

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

[0002] Traditional photovoltaic (PV) module products mainly use aluminum frames, which are produced by extruding aluminum ingots. This results in high raw material and production costs. Furthermore, aluminum frames have low strength and poor wind resistance, making them prone to damage to PV modules and leading to significant maintenance work and expenses. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a photovoltaic iron frame that replaces aluminum with iron, thereby changing the frame manufacturing process from the perspective of raw materials and production process. The frame has better performance and a simpler production process. By setting folded connecting parts, hollow parts and bending groove parts in sequence, the overall structural strength is improved. The frame has high strength and strong wind protection capability, which maximizes the protection of the components and reduces subsequent maintenance work.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A photovoltaic iron frame includes a frame body, which is formed by folding iron plates sequentially. The frame body includes a folding connecting part, a hollow part, and a bending groove part. The hollow part is integrally connected to the folding connecting part and the bending groove part, respectively. The upper end of the hollow part has a plurality of rectangular through holes, the inner side of the hollow part has an inner through hole, the bottom of the hollow part has a trapezoidal groove, and the bending groove part has a snap-fit ​​groove. An inner folding plate is provided at the opening of the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0006] Preferably, the ends of the iron plate are folded sequentially to form the folded connection.

[0007] Preferably, the frame body is made of steel.

[0008] Preferably, the longitudinal section of the hollow portion is rectangular, and the longitudinal section of the trapezoidal groove is trapezoidal.

[0009] Preferably, the upper end of the inner folding plate is bent toward the hollow portion.

[0010] Preferably, the folded connecting portion is located at the upper left end of the hollow portion, and the bending groove portion is located at the right side of the hollow portion.

[0011] The photovoltaic iron frame provided by this utility model, using the above technical solution, has the following beneficial effects: the hollow part of the photovoltaic iron frame is integrated with the folding connecting part and the bending groove part, respectively. The upper end of the hollow part is provided with several rectangular through holes, the inner side of the hollow part is provided with an inner through hole, the bottom of the hollow part is provided with a trapezoidal groove, and the bending groove part is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove. An inner folding plate is provided at the opening of the snap-fit ​​groove. Iron is used instead of aluminum, changing the frame manufacturing from the perspective of raw materials and production process, resulting in better performance, a simpler production process, and lower production costs. By setting the folding connecting part, the hollow part, and the bending groove part in sequence to improve the overall structural strength, the frame has high strength and strong wind protection capability, maximizing the protection of the components and reducing subsequent maintenance work.
