For the ordinary skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0034] The present utility model provides a kind of photovoltaic module, refer to Figure 1 , the photovoltaic module includes laminated part 1 and frame 2 that is arranged around the periphery of laminated part 1, laminated part 1 includes back glass 11 and front glass 12 sequentially stacked from bottom to top, wherein:

[0035] The four peripheral edges of back glass 11 are clamped in frame 2;

[0036] Front glass 12 is embedded in the space surrounded by back glass 11 and frame 2, and the upper surface of front glass 12 is located in the same plane as the upper surface of frame 2.

[0037] The photovoltaic module provided in the present application has the following advantages:

[0038] 1, the upper surface of front glass 12 is located in the same plane as the upper surface of frame 2, so that the upper surface of the photovoltaic module is a plane, and the upper surface of the photovoltaic module is not blocked around, which can effectively make the accumulated water and dust on the upper surface of the photovoltaic module quickly slide off, reduce the accumulation of water and dust, and thus reduce the loss of light;

[0039] 2. Since the upper surface of the photovoltaic module is flat, water and dust on the upper surface of the photovoltaic module can slide off in any direction, eliminating the need for large tilt angle installation and allowing the photovoltaic module to be installed at the optimal angle.

[0040] 3. No need for regular manual cleaning of water and dust accumulation on the surface of photovoltaic modules, reducing later maintenance costs;

[0041] 4. The four edges of the back glass 11 are secured within the frame 2, which avoids the risk of the module detaching from the frame or bursting when the back of the module is under load, thus improving the installation reliability of the module.

[0042] Continue to refer to Figure 1 The laminate 1 also includes a solar cell located between the back glass 11 and the front glass 12. The back glass 11, the solar cell, and the front glass 12 are bonded together as a whole by an adhesive layer 13. The composition and structure of the laminate 1 are prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The frame 2 includes four frame rods 21 connected end to end to form a closed loop. Each frame rod 21 includes an upper plate 211, a connecting plate 212 and a lower plate 213. The upper plate 211, the connecting plate 212 and the lower plate 213 are connected end to end to form a slot 214.

[0044] The four edges of the back glass 11 are fitted into the slot 214, and the back glass 11 and the four upper plates 211 form a space for accommodating the front glass 12.

[0045] The upper surface of the positive glass 12 and the upper surface of the upper plate 211 are located on the same plane.

[0046] In the above structure, the cross-sectional area of ​​the back glass 11 is larger than that of the front glass 12. The front glass 12 is located in the central area of ​​the back glass 11, forming a stepped structure around the perimeters of the back glass 11 and the front glass 12. The slot 214 covers this stepped structure, firmly fixing the laminate 1 to the frame 2, thereby improving the installation reliability of the photovoltaic module. The slot 214 is filled with silicone, which is used to adhere and fix the perimeters of the back glass 11 to the slot 214. The front glass 12 is placed in the space enclosed by the back glass 11 and the four upper plates 211. The upper surface of the front glass 12 is on the same plane as the upper surface of the upper plates 211, so that the upper surface of the photovoltaic module is not obstructed, and water and dust accumulated on the upper surface can slide off in any direction.

[0047] It should be noted that the laminate 1 is typically a rectangular structure, comprising two opposing long sides and two opposing short sides. Correspondingly, the four frame rods 21 comprise two long frame rods and two short frame rods, which are alternately connected to form a rectangular structure that conforms to the shape of the laminate 1.

[0048] On the basis of the above structure, the peripheral surface of the front glass 12 abuts against one side of the upper clamping plate 211 away from the connecting plate 212. There is no gap between the front glass 12 and the upper clamping plate 211, eliminating the possibility of water and dust accumulation at the connecting position of the laminated glass 1 and the frame 2. A layer of glue can be arranged between the front glass 12 and the upper clamping plate 211 to make them adhere more closely.

[0049] With reference to the above Figure 2 , the width of the lower clamping plate 213 is greater than that of the upper clamping plate 211. This arrangement can increase the contact area between the back glass 11 and the lower clamping plate 213, improving the load bearing capacity of the frame 2 on the laminated glass 1; at the same time, the area of the front glass 12 is increased as much as possible to increase the light transmission area of the photovoltaic module.

[0050] With reference to the above Figure 2 , each frame rod 21 further comprises a support bottom plate 215 and two web plates 216, which are arranged in a spaced manner and connected between the support bottom plate 215 and the lower clamping plate 213, and the two web plates 216, the support bottom plate 215 and the lower clamping plate 213 form a cavity 217. The arrangement of the cavity 217 improves the load bearing capacity of the frame 2, further ensuring the installation reliability of the photovoltaic module.

[0051] With reference to the above Figure 3 , the frame 2 further comprises four corner codes 22, and one corner code 22 is connected between any two adjacent frame rods 21. The frame rods 21 and the corner codes 22 are alternately connected to form a whole frame 2.

[0052] Specifically, each corner code 22 comprises a main body part 221 in L-shaped structure and two plug-in parts 222 connected at both ends of the main body part 221, and the plug-in parts 222 are used for being inserted into the cavity 217. Each plug-in part 222 comprises a plurality of plug-in plates 2221, and a plurality of first protrusions 2222 are arranged on the side of each plug-in plate 2221 in contact with the cavity 217.

[0053] In this embodiment, each plug-in part 222 comprises two oppositely arranged plug-in plates 2221, and a plurality of first protrusions 2222 are arranged on the side of each plug-in plate 2221 in contact with the cavity 217. When the plug-in plate 2221 is inserted into the cavity 217, the first protrusions 2222 on the plug-in plate 2221 can increase the friction between the plug-in plate 2221 and the cavity 217, improving the connection strength between the frame rod 21 and the corner code 22.

[0054] With reference to the above Figure 4 and Figure 5The inner cavity wall of the cavity 217 is provided with a plurality of second protrusions 218 capable of engaging and connecting with the first protrusions 2222. In the embodiment, the inner side of the two ends of each web 216 in the frame rod 21 is respectively provided with a plurality of second protrusions 218. Through the engagement of the first protrusions 2222 and the second protrusions 218, the connection strength between the frame rod 21 and the corner code 22 is further improved.

[0055] Specifically, the insertion plate 2221 has a fixed end and a free end arranged oppositely, the fixed end of the insertion plate 2221 is connected to the main body 221, and the free end of the insertion plate 2221 can be elastically deformed. From the fixed end to the free end of the insertion plate 2221, a plurality of first protrusions 2222 are arranged in sequence.

[0056] With the above structure, during the process of inserting the insertion part 222 into the cavity 217, the free end of the insertion plate 2221 can be elastically deformed, so that the insertion plate 2221 is smoothly inserted into the cavity 217, and the first protrusions 2222 and the second protrusions 218 can be smoothly engaged. In addition, since the insertion plate 2221 can be deformed by a small amount relative to the main body 221, the frame rod 21 and the corner code 22 have a small amount of relative movement, so that each frame rod 21 can be pressed inward, which is beneficial to make each frame rod 21 tightly fit the peripheral surface of the positive glass 12, and ensures that there is no gap between the positive glass 12 and the upper clamping plate 211.

[0057] In order to further improve the connection strength of the frame rod 21 and the corner code 22, bolts can be used for reinforcement after the insertion is completed.

[0058] In the embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the main body 221 of the corner code 22 is the same as that of the frame rod 21 (as shown in Figure 2 , which will not be described here.

[0059] Finally, it should be pointed out that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
