[0040] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present application more clear and explicit, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.

[0041] In the related art, when the photovoltaic laminate is installed into the accommodating groove of the frame, the sealant needs to be pre-punched in the accommodating groove of the frame, and the sealant is extruded to form reliable sealing and connection between the photovoltaic laminate and the frame during the installation process. Under the premise of ensuring the reliability of the photovoltaic module, how to further reduce the amount of sealant used is an effective way to further reduce the manufacturing cost of the photovoltaic module.

[0042] In view of the above problems, the photovoltaic laminate provided in the exemplary embodiments of the present application forms a glue film layer by overflowing the melting of the encapsulating glue film around the body, and the glue film layer occupies part of the space of the accommodating groove when installed with the frame, so that the amount of sealant can be reduced, and the production cost can be reduced.

[0043] Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a body according to the embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 1 The body 10 of the photovoltaic laminate in the exemplary embodiments of the present application is formed by laminating a cover plate glass, an encapsulating glue film, a cell sheet, another encapsulating glue film and a back plate, and has three openings on the back plate for leading out bus bars of the cell sheet to install a junction box 60 to lead out current.

[0044] In actual application, the above five layers of materials are laminated and placed in a laminator, and the two encapsulating glue films are melted under the action of heat and pressure, and firm adhesion is formed between the layers, thereby forming a finished photovoltaic laminate.

[0045] Exemplarily, the encapsulation adhesive film can be one of a polyethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) adhesive film, a poly(ethylene-1-octene) (POE) adhesive film, an EVA / POE laminated film, an EVA / POE / EVA laminated film, or a POE / EVA / POE laminated film.

[0046] Exemplarily, the cover plate glass and the back plate can both be tempered glass or semi-tempered glass.

[0047] Figure 2 is a structural schematic view of a laminating tool according to an embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 is a structural schematic view of a body and a laminating tool according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the photovoltaic laminate of the exemplary embodiment of the present application needs to be surrounded by the laminating tool 40 at the edge portions of the body 10 in the actual forming process.

[0048] In actual application, the laminating tool 40 is a rectangular frame structure, the frame structure has a clamping groove 42 with a U-shaped cross section, at least part of the two side walls of the clamping groove 42 are respectively attached to the circumferential edge portions of the two surfaces of the body 10; the bottom wall of the clamping groove 42 is opposite to the peripheral side surface of the body 10, and the distance between the bottom wall of the clamping groove 42 and the peripheral side surface of the body 10 is equal to the preset thickness; the bottom wall of the clamping groove 42 of the frame structure is provided with a through hole 41 corresponding to the discontinuous structure 21.

[0049] Exemplarily, in the clamping groove 42 formed by the frame structure, the clamping groove 42 has a bottom wall opposite to each of the four side surfaces of the body 10, since the two opposite side walls of the clamping groove 42 are clamped at the circumferential edge portions of the front surface and the back surface of the body 10, the peripheral side surface of the body 10 is in a closed space, in order to make the encapsulation adhesive film inside the body 10 overflow after melting to form the adhesive film layer 20, a plurality of through holes 41 need to be provided on each bottom wall to keep ventilation during the laminating process to facilitate the formation of the adhesive film layer 20.

[0050] Specifically, the distance between the bottom wall of the clamping groove 42 and the peripheral side surface of the body 10 is determined according to the thickness of the adhesive film layer 20 to be formed. Exemplarily, the distance between the bottom wall of the clamping groove 42 and the peripheral side surface of the body 10 can be 0.5mm-1.5mm, optionally 0.8mm-1.2mm, for example, it can be 0.9mm, 1.0mm, 1.1mm, etc.

[0051] When the body 10 of the photovoltaic laminate is assembled to the laminating tool 40 and is sent into a laminating machine for laminating, the encapsulation film in the body 10 will overflow from the peripheral side of the body 10 under the pressure and heating in the laminating process and form the film layer 20 on the peripheral side of the body 10 under the blocking of the laminating tool 40. Due to the through holes 41 of the laminating tool 40, a part of the overflowing encapsulation film will form a protruding part on the film layer 20. As shown in Figure 4 Figure 4 is a structure schematic view of the laminated body according to the embodiment of the present application.

[0052] Since the edge of the overflowing film at the position of the protruding part is rough and the edge thickness is large, it is easy to cause the exploding phenomenon in the frame assembling process, and therefore, the overflowing film at the position needs to be removed to form the discontinuous structure 21 on the film layer 20, as shown in Figure 5 Figure 5 is a structure schematic view of the photovoltaic laminate according to the embodiment of the present application.

[0053] Considering that the edge thickness of the film layer 20 is also thick and will also cause the exploding phenomenon in the frame assembling process, the edge thickness of the film layer 20 is also effectively controlled.

[0054] In some embodiments, in the thickness direction of the body 10, the encapsulation film is located at the middle position of the body 10 and overflows in the direction from the middle to both sides, and the film layer 20 is formed as a structure with thick middle and thin both sides.

[0055] It should be noted that the thickness direction of the body 10 refers to the distribution direction from the cover glass to the back plate.

[0056] Exemplarily, in the thickness direction of the body 10, the film layer 20 is gradually thinned in the direction from the middle to both sides. Through the control of the laminating tool on the shape of the film layer 20, the thickness of the both sides of the film layer 20, i.e. the edge part, and the overall thickness can be controlled to a certain extent, so as not to be too thick to cause the exploding phenomenon in the subsequent frame assembling.

[0057] For example, in the direction away from the body 10, the overall thickness of the film layer 20 is controlled to be 0.5mm-1.5mm, optionally 0.8mm-1.2mm, for example, it can be 0.9mm, 1.0mm, 1.1mm, etc.

[0058] Considering that the laminating tool 40 is fully and uniformly vented to make the film layer 20 form a regular shape to reduce the risk of exploding in the subsequent frame assembling. A plurality of through holes 41 are formed on the four sides of the laminating tool 40, and therefore, a plurality of discontinuous structures 21 will also be formed on the four sides of the laminated body 10.

[0059] ​​Exemplarily, as Figure 5 shown, the body 10 is rectangular in shape, and has two opposite first sides and two opposite second sides; the portions of the body 10 where the first sides are located have a plurality of discontinuous structures 21 equidistantly distributed; the portions of the body 10 where the second sides are located also have a plurality of discontinuous structures 21 equidistantly distributed.

[0060] When a plurality of discontinuous structures 21 with the same spacing are formed on each side of the body 10, the portions of the body 10 where the first sides are located have three discontinuous structures 21, and the portions of the body 10 where the second sides are located have two discontinuous structures 21. Thus, the distance between each discontinuous structure 21 is substantially the same in the circumferential direction of the body 10, thereby ensuring uniform exhaust during lamination and forming a regular adhesive film layer 20.

[0061] Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the exploded structure of the photovoltaic module according to the embodiment of the present application; Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the photovoltaic module according to the embodiment of the present application. As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the photovoltaic module according to the exemplary embodiment of the present application further comprises a photovoltaic laminate, a sealing structure 50, and a frame 30. The photovoltaic laminate is the photovoltaic laminate according to the above embodiment. The frame 30 has a receiving groove 31 for receiving the circumferential edge of the photovoltaic laminate, and the sealing structure 50 is arranged between the circumferential side of the photovoltaic laminate and the groove wall of the receiving groove 31. The sealing structure 50 is arranged between the circumferential edge of the photovoltaic laminate and the groove wall of the receiving groove 31.

[0062] In actual application, the frame 30 is formed by two long frame segments and two short frame segments, and the cross-sectional shape of the long frame segments and the short frame segments is the same. The frame 30 has the receiving groove 31, which is substantially in the form of a U-shaped structure and surrounds the circumferential edge of the photovoltaic laminate to protect the circumferential side of the photovoltaic laminate. In order to seal the circumferential side of the photovoltaic laminate, the sealing structure 50 is formed by using silicone.

[0063] A certain amount of silicone is injected into the receiving groove 31. When the photovoltaic laminate is installed into the receiving groove 31, the silicone in the receiving groove 31 is extruded to overflow into the discontinuous structures 21 of the adhesive film layer 20 and the portions of the body 10 located on the front and back surfaces of the receiving groove 31, thereby connecting the photovoltaic laminate and the frame 30 and achieving the sealing effect.

[0064] As Figure 6 shown, the photovoltaic module further comprises three junction boxes 60 arranged on the back surface of the body 10 to form effective electrical connection with the cell pieces in the photovoltaic laminate.

[0065] Compared with the prior art, the photovoltaic laminate in the photovoltaic module of the exemplary embodiment of the present invention has an additional adhesive film layer 20 on the periphery of its body 10, which can occupy part of the space of the receiving groove 31, thereby reducing the amount of silicone used and reducing production costs.

[0066] like Figure 2 As shown, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention also provides a lamination fixture 40, wherein a through hole 41 is located in the middle part of the bottom wall surface in a preset direction, and the preset direction is parallel to the thickness direction of the body 10.

[0067] Since the encapsulating film inside the body 10 is in the middle of the thickness direction, the overflowing film overflows from the middle to both sides, and the amount of overflowing film in the middle is relatively large. Therefore, setting the venting through hole 41 on the lamination fixture 40 in the middle of the bottom wall of the slot 42 is more conducive to smoother venting, so that the formed film layer 20 is more regular and the probability of the part bursting during subsequent frame assembly is reduced.

[0068] In some embodiments, the shape of the through hole 41 can be one of polygon, circle or ellipse, such as rectangle, rhombus, regular polygon, etc., and its size can be in the range of 1mm to 3mm. Within the above range, air can be vented without making the protrusion forming the adhesive film layer 20 too large and thus removing it and increasing the amount of sealant used.

[0069] It is understandable that in the photovoltaic laminate formed by the above-mentioned lamination tooling 40, the width of the discontinuous structure 21 of the adhesive film layer 20 is also in the range of 1mm to 3mm, for example, it can be 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, etc.

[0070] Therefore, by using the above-mentioned lamination fixture 40, the photovoltaic laminate body 10 only needs to be sealed during lamination, and then the desired photovoltaic laminate can be obtained after lamination by an existing laminator. The manufacturing method is simple and feasible, and is suitable for large-scale promotion and use.

[0071] The other technical advantages of the above-mentioned lamination tooling compared to the prior art are the same as those of the photovoltaic laminates mentioned above, and will not be repeated here.

[0072] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments are merely for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make other changes or modifications based on the above disclosure, and these changes or modifications still fall within the scope of the present invention.
