[0039] With reference to the prior art, the photovoltaic module is rectangular, and a rectangular frame is arranged around the photovoltaic module. The frame is composed of two groups of half frames, and the two groups of half frames are a first outer frame and a second outer frame. The first outer frame and the second outer frame are both in a U-shaped structure, and are arranged at the two length sides of the photovoltaic panel. A gap is formed between the corresponding side edges of the first outer frame and the second outer frame. Due to the gap, the frame is relatively weak at this position, which reduces the durability of the frame and easily causes damage to the photovoltaic panel at this position.

[0040] In order to solve the problem that the frame of the photovoltaic panel cannot compensate for the gap in the prior art, with reference to Figs. 1 to 4 In one embodiment, an adjustable photovoltaic module includes a photovoltaic panel and a frame 100 surrounding the edge of the photovoltaic panel. The frame includes a first outer frame 11, a second outer frame 12, and an adjusting mechanism. The adjusting mechanism includes an adjusting outer frame 13 movably connected to the first outer frame 11 and the second outer frame 12, an adjusting structure for adjusting the relative position between the first outer frame 11 and the second outer frame 12, and a compensation assembly for compensating for the gap between the first outer frame 11 and the second outer frame 12.

[0041] The two adjusting mechanisms are arranged at the middle positions of the width of the photovoltaic panel and are connected to the first outer frame 11 and the second outer frame 12. The adjusting structure is connected to the adjusting outer frame 13, the first outer frame 11, and the second outer frame 12. The compensation assembly is connected to the edge of the photovoltaic panel corresponding to the gap.

[0042] The technical scheme of the present application includes a first outer frame and a second outer frame that cooperate to surround and protect the photovoltaic panel from the length sides. After the photovoltaic panel is inserted into the first outer frame and the second outer frame, the installer adjusts the distance between the first outer frame and the second outer frame, which allows for quick assembly and use of photovoltaic panels of different sizes.

[0043] The adjusting structure is used to guide and limit the adjustment of the relative position between the first outer frame and the second outer frame, and to maintain the relative position of the first outer frame and the second outer frame after the adjustment is completed.

[0044] In addition, the compensation assembly compensates for the gap between the first outer frame and the second outer frame.

[0045] In some embodiments, the adjusting structure comprises an adjusting groove 131 provided on the adjusting outer frame 13, and the first outer frame 11 and the second outer frame 12 are correspondingly provided with adjusting protrusions 111 which protrude and are slidingly embedded in the adjusting groove 131.

[0046] In some embodiments, the adjusting structure further comprises a support rod 16 and a fixed support 15 connected with the support rod, the fixed support 15 is movably penetrated through the adjusting outer frame 13 and connected with the adjusting protrusions 111. Thus, the fixing of the fixed support can realize the relative fixing of the first outer frame and the second outer frame, thereby achieving the effect of facilitating the adjustment and fixing of the first outer frame and the second outer frame through the fixed support.

The fixed support is provided with a movable insertion hole which is connected with the support rod 16. After the adjustment is completed, the support rod is connected with the threaded hole through the thread, and the support rod penetrates through the fixed support connected with the first outer frame and the second outer frame, thereby maintaining the relative position of the first outer frame and the second outer frame.

[0047] Preferably, the adjusting groove 131 is a "convex" groove which is partially matched with the adjusting protrusions 111 and partially matched with the fixed support 15, and can simultaneously limit and guide the adjusting protrusions 111 and the fixed support 15.

[0048] In some embodiments, the compensation assembly comprises a compensation plate 17 and an outer protective frame 14, the outer protective frame 14 is fixed outside the adjusting outer frame, and the compensation plate 17 is arranged in the space between the first outer frame and the second outer frame and is connected with the outer protective frame 14. The outer protective frame cooperates with the compensation plate to achieve the effect of covering and protecting the connection position of the two outer frames from the outside. In addition, the first end of the outer protective frame 14 is provided with a second top plate 141. The second top plate 141 is arranged in a stacked manner with the first top plate 132 and is located inside the first top plate 132. The second top plate is provided with a through hole 143 for the support rod 16 to penetrate. After the adjustment is completed, the support rod is embedded, and the support rod simultaneously fixes the adjusting outer frame, the outer protective frame and the fixed support. The outer protective frame can simultaneously cover and protect the connection position of the first outer frame and the second outer frame from the outside, thereby ensuring the durability of the outer frame and avoiding damage to the photovoltaic panel at the compensation position.

[0049] Further, the compensation assembly 18 further comprises a compensation block 181 abutting the edge of the photovoltaic panel. The compensation block achieves the effect of compensating for the gap existing in the adjustment process of the first outer frame and the second outer frame.

The compensation assembly further comprises an adjusting rod 182 connected with the compensation block. The adjusting rod 182 is embedded in the sliding groove and fixedly connected with the compression spring. The compensation block 181 is connected with a buffer sleeve 183. The buffer sleeve 183 abuts the edge of the photovoltaic panel to achieve the effect of protection and buffering. The buffer sleeve can be made of rubber. When adjusting the relative position of the first outer frame and the second outer frame, with the sliding of the two outer frames along the inner side of the adjusting outer frame, the compensation block is simultaneously extruded under the pressure of the compression spring. With the sliding adjustment of the two outer frames, the position is self-adaptively adjusted, and then the gap between the two outer frames is compensated. After the installation of the photovoltaic panel, the outer side of the photovoltaic panel located at the connecting position of the two outer frames is in contact with the buffer sleeve, and has good buffering and protection.

[0050] Further, the second end side of the adjusting outer frame is provided with a first engaging surface 133, and the second end side of the outer protective frame is provided with a second engaging surface 142. The first engaging surface and the second engaging surface are both composed of a plane and an inclined surface in connection. In this way, after the embedding of the support rod, the first engaging surface and the second engaging surface can be well engaged after the unified fixing of the adjusting outer frame, the outer protective frame and the fixed support. Of course, there is still a certain gap, but it is beneficial to maintain the relative position of the adjusting outer frame and the outer protective frame.
