Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic power generation technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic module. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, the snap-fit parts of the frame used to install photovoltaic panels are usually more prone to damage, while the support parts can still be used. However, the frame is usually molded as a single piece, which means that the entire frame needs to be replaced, making the replacement cost high. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a photovoltaic module to solve the problem of high replacement cost of the one-piece molded frame in the prior art.
[0004] To achieve one, some, or all of the above objectives or other objectives, this utility model proposes a photovoltaic module, including two photovoltaic frames and a photovoltaic panel. The photovoltaic frames include a support plate and a snap-fit connector. The support plate is provided with at least one plug connector, and the snap-fit connector is provided with a snap-fit groove and at least one plug slot. The plug slot penetrates through the front and rear sidewalls of the snap-fit connector. The plug connector is inserted into the plug slot from the front or rear sidewall of the snap-fit connector to restrict the snap-fit connector from moving vertically on the support plate. The two ends of the photovoltaic panel are respectively snapped into the two snap-fit grooves.
[0005] Furthermore, the insertion slot includes a first slot and a second slot that are interconnected, wherein the width of the first slot is greater than the width of the second slot.
[0006] Furthermore, the connector includes a vertical block and a horizontal block connected to each other, the vertical block being inserted into the second slot and the horizontal block being inserted into the first slot.
[0007] Furthermore, the connector is T-shaped.
[0008] Furthermore, the insertion slot is T-shaped.
[0009] Furthermore, the support plate includes a first horizontal plate, a second horizontal plate, a first vertical plate, and a first inclined plate. The two ends of the first inclined plate and the first vertical plate are respectively connected to the first horizontal plate and the second horizontal plate, and the connector is located on the upper side wall of the second horizontal plate.
[0010] Furthermore, the snap-fit connector includes a third horizontal plate, a second vertical plate, and an arc-shaped plate. The two ends of the second vertical plate are respectively connected to the third horizontal plate and the arc-shaped plate. The snap-fit groove is formed by the third horizontal plate, the second vertical plate, and the arc-shaped plate. The insertion groove is located on the lower side wall of the third horizontal plate.
[0011] Furthermore, the number of the insertion slots is three.
[0012] Furthermore, the number of the connectors is three.
[0013] Furthermore, the first cross plate is provided with bolts for connection.
[0014] Implementing the embodiments of this utility model will have the following beneficial effects:
[0015] After adopting the above-mentioned photovoltaic modules, since the connector and the support plate are connected by a plug-in joint, they can be disassembled. When the connector is damaged, the connector can be replaced separately, while the support plate does not need to be replaced. This can save costs and solve the problem of high replacement costs for the one-piece molded frame in the existing technology. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] like Figure 1and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model discloses a photovoltaic module, including two photovoltaic frames 1 and a photovoltaic panel 2. The photovoltaic frame 1 includes a support plate 11 and a snap-fit connector 12. The support plate 11 is provided with at least one plug connector 111. The snap-fit connector 12 is provided with a snap-fit groove 121 and at least one plug-in groove 122. The plug-in groove 122 penetrates through the front side wall and the rear side wall of the snap-fit connector 12. The plug connector 111 is inserted into the plug-in groove 122 from the front side wall or the rear side wall of the snap-fit connector 12 to restrict the snap-fit connector 12 from moving in the vertical direction on the support plate 11. The two ends of the photovoltaic panel 2 are respectively snapped into the two snap-fit grooves 121.
[0024] Since the connector 111 and the support plate 11 are connected by a plug-in joint, they can be disassembled. When the connector 111 is damaged, only the connector 111 can be replaced, while the support plate 11 does not need to be replaced. This can save costs and solve the problem of high replacement costs for one-piece molded frames in the prior art.
[0025] In this embodiment, the insertion slot 122 includes a first slot 1221 and a second slot 1222 that are interconnected, and the width of the first slot 1221 is greater than the width of the second slot 1222. Since the width of the first slot 1221 is greater than the width of the second slot 1222, it has a blocking effect on the insertion connector 111, restricting its vertical movement.
[0026] In this embodiment, the connector 111 includes a vertical block 1111 and a horizontal block 1112 connected to each other. The vertical block 1111 is inserted into the second slot 1222, and the horizontal block 1112 is inserted into the first slot 1221. Correspondingly, to accommodate the characteristics of the first slot 1221 and the second slot 1222, the connector 111 is designed with a vertical block 1111 and a horizontal block 1112. Since the width of the first slot 1221 is greater than the width of the second slot 1222, the horizontal block 1112 will be blocked and cannot move into the second slot 1222.
[0027] In this embodiment, the connector 111 is T-shaped.
[0028] In this embodiment, the insertion slot 122 is T-shaped.
[0029] In this embodiment, the support plate 11 includes a first horizontal plate 112, a second horizontal plate 113, a first vertical plate 114, and a first inclined plate 115. The two ends of the first inclined plate 115 and the first vertical plate 114 are respectively connected to the first horizontal plate 112 and the second horizontal plate 113. The connector 111 is located on the upper sidewall of the second horizontal plate 113. To better support the second horizontal plate 113, the first vertical plate 114 and the first inclined plate 115 are used to support it, forming a triangle and increasing the rigidity of the second horizontal plate 113.
[0030] In this embodiment, the snap-fit connector 12 includes a third horizontal plate 123, a second vertical plate 124, and an arc-shaped plate 125. The two ends of the second vertical plate 124 are connected to the third horizontal plate 123 and the arc-shaped plate 125, respectively. The snap-fit groove 121 is formed by the third horizontal plate 123, the second vertical plate 124, and the arc-shaped plate 125. The insertion groove 122 is located on the lower side wall of the third horizontal plate 123. The snap-fit groove 121 is used to snap-fit the photovoltaic panel 2.
[0031] In this embodiment, there are three insertion slots 122. The distance between any two adjacent insertion slots 122 is equal.
[0032] In this embodiment, there are three connectors 111. The distance between any two adjacent connectors 111 is equal.
[0033] In this embodiment, the first horizontal plate 112 is provided with bolts 1121 for connection. The bolts 1121 are provided on the first horizontal plate 112, and the support plate 11 is fixed to the roof or other fixed body by means of the bolts 1121.
[0034] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
