In order to save land resources, various regions have introduced green building subsidy policies to promote the development of building-integrated photovoltaic technology.

[0003] There are many forms and types of building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) products. Existing BIPV products do not have frames. Connectors for positive and negative cables are set on the left and right sides of the BIPV products. In related technologies, workers use packaging boxes to load and transport BIPV products. During the transportation of BIPV products in packaging boxes, BIPV products are easily damaged. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a photovoltaic module packaging box to address the problem that photovoltaic building integrated products are easily damaged during the current packaging and transportation process.

[0005] A photovoltaic module packaging box, comprising:

[0006] The box has a receiving cavity, and the box has a pick-and-place opening on one side along a first direction, the pick-and-place opening communicating with the receiving cavity;

[0007] A corner protector assembly is disposed within the receiving cavity. The corner protector assembly includes two packaging corner protectors, which are respectively disposed at two opposite corners of the cavity wall along the second direction.

[0008] The second direction intersects with the first direction, and the packaging corner protector is provided with a receiving groove.

[0009] In one embodiment, the receiving grooves on the two packaging corner protectors in the corner protector assembly have orthographic projections onto one side wall of the receiving cavity along the second direction that overlap each other.

[0010] In one embodiment, the receiving groove on the packaging corner protector has a rectangular orthographic projection onto one side wall of the receiving cavity along the second direction.

[0011] In one embodiment, the corner protectors of the packaging are made of wood.

[0039] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This illustration shows an assembly diagram of a photovoltaic module packaging box and a photovoltaic module according to an embodiment of this application. An embodiment of this application provides a photovoltaic module packaging box 1000, comprising: a box body 1100.

[0040] With the corner protector assembly 1400, the box body 1100 has a receiving cavity 1110. The box body 1100 has a take-out port 1120 on one side along the first direction. The take-out port 1120 is connected to the receiving cavity 1110. The corner protector assembly 1400 is disposed in the receiving cavity 1110. The corner protector assembly 1400 includes two packaging corner protectors 1410. The two packaging corner protectors 1410 are respectively disposed at two opposite corners of the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 1110 along the second direction. The second direction intersects with the first direction. The packaging corner protectors 1410 are provided with receiving grooves 1411.

[0041] In this embodiment, when transporting the photovoltaic module 2000, the staff will first remove the two packaging corner protectors 1410 from the receiving cavity 1110 of the box body 1100, and then distribute the two packaging corner protectors 1410 on opposite sides of the photovoltaic module 2000 along the second direction, so that the connectors of the positive and negative cables at opposite ends of the photovoltaic module 2000 along the second direction are correspondingly set in the receiving grooves 1411 on the two packaging corner protectors 1410. Finally, the photovoltaic module 2000 and the two packaging corner protectors 1410 are placed into the receiving cavity 1110 of the box body 1100.

[0042] When the staff places the photovoltaic module 2000 and the two packaging corner protectors 1410 into the receiving cavity 1110 of the box 1100, the two packaging corner protectors 1410 are respectively located at the two opposite corners of the cavity wall along the second direction of the receiving cavity 1110. The packaging corner protectors 1410 are provided with receiving grooves 1411. The photovoltaic module 2000 is placed between the two packaging corner protectors 1410 in the receiving cavity 1110. The connectors (not shown) of the positive and negative cables at both ends of the photovoltaic module 2000 along the second direction are correspondingly set in the receiving grooves 1411 on the packaging corner protectors 1410. The packaging corner protectors 1410 protect the connectors of the positive and negative cables on the photovoltaic module 2000. In this way, the photovoltaic module 2000 can be prevented from becoming unusable due to damage to the connectors of the positive and negative cables on the photovoltaic module 2000 during the process of the staff using the photovoltaic module packaging box 1000 to transport the photovoltaic module 2000.

[0043] In summary, the photovoltaic module packaging box 1000 in this embodiment has packaging corner protectors 1410 provided in the receiving cavity 1110 of the box body 1100, and the packaging corner protectors 1410 are provided with receiving grooves 1411, which can protect the photovoltaic module 2000. When the photovoltaic module packaging box 1000 transports the photovoltaic module 2000, the photovoltaic module 2000 is not easily damaged.

[0044] Furthermore, compared to traditional boxes, which lack corner protectors 1410 and have slots for attaching photovoltaic modules 2000, resulting in poor load-bearing capacity and low packaging efficiency, the photovoltaic module packaging box 1000 in this embodiment has stronger load-bearing capacity and can support heavier photovoltaic modules 2000 because it has corner protectors 1410 at the corners of the cavity wall along the second direction of the receiving cavity 1110. Since there are no slots inside the photovoltaic module packaging box 1000, workers can place the photovoltaic modules 2000 into the receiving cavity 1110 of the box 1100 more quickly, resulting in higher packaging efficiency.

[0045] Please continue reading. Figure 1 The receiving grooves 1411 on the two packaged corner protectors 1410 in the corner protector assembly 1400 overlap each other on the orthographic projection of the receiving cavity 1110 on one side cavity wall along the second direction.

[0046] In this embodiment, by setting receiving grooves 1411 on the two packaging corner protectors 1410 in the corner protector assembly 1400, the orthogonal projections on one side wall of the receiving cavity 1110 along the second direction overlap with each other, so that when the operator places the photovoltaic module 2000 between the two packaging corner protectors 1410 in the receiving cavity 1110, the connectors (not shown) of the positive and negative cables located at opposite ends of the photovoltaic module 2000 along the second direction are correspondingly set in the receiving grooves 1411 on the packaging corner protectors 1410.

[0047] Please continue reading. Figure 1 In some embodiments, the receiving groove 1411 on the packaging corner protector 1410 has a rectangular orthographic projection on one side wall of the receiving cavity 1110 along the second direction.

[0048] In this embodiment, by setting the orthographic projection of the receiving groove 1411 on one side wall of the receiving cavity 1110 along the second direction as a rectangle, when the workers stack multiple photovoltaic modules 2000 between the two corner protector assemblies 1400 along the second direction, the connectors (not shown) of the positive and negative cables located at opposite ends of each photovoltaic module 2000 along the second direction can be correspondingly placed in the receiving groove 1411 on the packaging corner protector 1410, thereby realizing the protection of the connectors of the positive and negative cables on the multiple photovoltaic modules 2000 by the packaging corner protector 1410.

[0049] Please continue reading. Figure 1 In some embodiments, the corner protectors 1410 are made of wood.

[0050] In this embodiment, by setting the material of the packaging corner protector 1410 to wood, on the one hand, the weight of the packaging corner protector 1410 can be reduced, and on the other hand, the manufacturing cost of the packaging corner protector 1410 can be reduced.

[0051] It should be further noted that the corner protectors 1410 can also be made of common lightweight materials such as nylon, plastic, and carbon fiber.

The cover plate 1200 is rotatably connected to the housing 1100 and can rotate relative to the housing 1100 to open or close the loading and unloading port 1120.

[0055] In this embodiment, by setting the cover plate 1200 to be rotatably connected to the housing 1100 and being able to rotate relative to the housing 1100, the loading and unloading port 1120 can be opened or closed. This allows the staff to open the loading and unloading port 1120 when placing the photovoltaic module 2000, and place the photovoltaic module 2000 to be transported into the receiving cavity 1110 of the housing 1100 through the loading and unloading port 1120. When transporting the photovoltaic module 2000, the staff can rotate the cover plate 1200 to close the cover plate 120, preventing the photovoltaic module 2000 in the receiving cavity 1110 from falling out of the loading and unloading port 1120 and preventing external dust from entering the receiving cavity 1110 through the loading and unloading port 1120 and contaminating the photovoltaic module 2000.

[0056] Please continue reading. Figure 1 In some embodiments, the cover plate 1200 is rotatably connected to the housing 1100 along a third direction and can rotate relative to the housing 1100 about a pivot parallel to the second direction. Both the first and second directions intersect with the third direction.

[0057] In this embodiment, by setting the cover plate 1200 to be rotatably connected to the box body 1100 along a third direction, and being able to rotate relative to the box body 1100 about a rotating shaft parallel to the second direction, the cover plate 1200 can rotate relative to the box body 1100 along a third direction about a rotating shaft parallel to the second direction, thereby opening or closing the take-up and put-out port 1120.

[0058] Please continue reading. Figure 1 In some embodiments, the loading and unloading port 1120 of the housing 1100 is provided with two cover plates 1200. The two cover plates 1200 are arranged along the third direction and are rotatably connected to the opposite sides of the housing 1100 along the third direction.

[0059] In this embodiment, by setting two cover plates 1200 arranged along the third direction, the two cover plates 1200 are rotatably connected to the opposite sides of the box body 1100 along the third direction, so that the staff can open or close the loading and unloading port 1120 by rotating each cover plate 1200 around a rotating axis parallel to the second direction relative to the corresponding side of the box body 1100 along the third direction.

[0060] Please continue reading. Figure 1 In some embodiments, the loading and unloading port 1120 of the box 1100 is provided with two liner plates 1300. The two liner plates 1300 are arranged at intervals along the second direction and are rotatably connected to the opposite sides of the box 1100 along the second direction. The liner plates 1300 can rotate relative to the box 1100 about a rotating axis parallel to the third direction.

[0061] Please continue reading. Figure 1In some embodiments, the photovoltaic module packaging box 1000 includes a tray 1500, which abuts against the side of the box body 1100 away from the opening 1120 in a first direction.

[0062] In this embodiment, by setting the pallet 1500 to abut against the side of the box 1100 away from the pick-up and drop-off port 1120 along the first direction, the staff can use the pallet 1500 to transfer the photovoltaic module packaging box 1000.

[0063] In some embodiments, the tray 1500 has two slots (not shown) arranged at intervals along a third direction on the side opposite to the box 1100 along a first direction, and each slot extends along a second direction.

[0064] In this embodiment, by providing slots, it is convenient for workers to insert the forklift arms into the slots to move the pallet 1500.

[0065] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described.
