Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic lamination equipment technology, specifically to a solar cell module lamination frame. Background Technology

[0002] The laminate of a photovoltaic module is formed by stacking a front transparent cover, a front encapsulating film, a cell string, a rear encapsulating film, and a rear cover, and then pressing them together at high temperature to form a composite layer. During lamination, rectangular lamination frames are placed around the laminate to protect it. Before the laminator's conveyor mechanism transports the laminate into the laminator, lamination frames need to be placed manually around each laminate one by one, which is inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address at least one technical problem in the prior art, this utility model provides a solar cell module laminate frame.

[0004] According to one aspect of the present invention, a solar cell module lamination frame is provided, including a rectangular outer frame, and a plurality of detachable dividing rods in the area enclosed by the rectangular outer frame. The dividing rods divide the area enclosed by the rectangular outer frame into a plurality of sub-regions arranged in the length direction of the rectangular outer frame. In the width direction of the rectangular outer frame, each sub-region has detachable adjusting blocks at both ends, and the adjusting blocks define a working area smaller than the sub-region within the sub-region.

[0005] During lamination, photovoltaic module laminators are placed in the working area. The lamination frame of this embodiment adopts an integrated structure. In application, the lamination frame can be installed on the upper chamber of the laminator. As the upper and lower chambers of the laminator close, the lamination frame can simultaneously fall around the laminators. Since the separator rods are detachably connected to the rectangular outer frame, the separator rods can be removed and their installation positions adjusted, thus adjusting the width of the working area. The spacing between the adjustment blocks on opposite sides of the sub-areas defines the length of the working area. Because the adjustment blocks are detachable, adjustment blocks of different sizes can be replaced, making the length of the working area also adjustable. Therefore, the lamination frame of this embodiment can adjust the size of the working area by adjusting the position of the separator rods and / or by installing adjustment blocks of different sizes, so that the solar cell module lamination frame can be adapted for laminating photovoltaic semi-finished modules of different shapes.

[0006] In some implementations, the adjustment block has a first straight edge facing the inside of the sub-region and parallel to the length direction of the rectangular outer frame. The first straight edges of the adjustment blocks at both ends of the sub-region and the separators on both sides of the sub-region define the working area within the sub-region.

[0007] In some embodiments, the rectangular frame includes a pair of parallel long rods and a pair of parallel short rods. A partition rod is positioned within the area enclosed by the rectangular frame, with both ends of the partition rod connected to the pair of long rods and parallel to the short rods. The long rods, short rods, and partition rods are all made of aluminum alloy profiles. The use of aluminum alloy profiles for the long and short rods provides greater flexibility in the installation of the partition rod. For example, pre-assembled fasteners such as angle brackets and bolts can be used to connect the partition rod to the long rods, facilitating adjustments to the partition rod's installation position.

[0008] In some implementations, each end of the sub-region has two adjustment blocks, which are respectively located at the top corner of the sub-region.

[0009] In some implementations, the adjusting block is connected to the rectangular outer frame by bolts.

[0010] In some embodiments, the adjusting block also has a second straight edge opposite to and parallel to the first straight edge, a region of default material between the first and second straight edges, a through hole between the region of default material and the second straight edge, and the adjusting block is connected to the rectangular frame by fasteners passing through the through hole.

[0011] In some embodiments, corner protectors are provided at the four outer corners of the rectangular frame, and the corner protectors surround the outer corners of the rectangular frame. The portion of the corner protector that does not contact the rectangular frame is rounded. Because the outer contour of the corner protector is rounded, damage to the silicone plate of the laminator is avoided by the solar cell module laminating frame.

[0012] In some embodiments, the corner protector is arc-shaped on the outside and has a right-angle notch on the inside. The outer top corner of the rectangular frame fits into the right-angle notch, and the corner protector is connected to the rectangular frame by fasteners.

[0013] In some implementations, a connector is provided on the outside of the rectangular frame.

[0014] In some embodiments, the rectangular outer frame is made of aluminum alloy profiles spliced ​​together, and the connectors include a connecting seat, a connecting shaft and a flexible connector. The connecting seat is connected to the rectangular outer frame by fasteners, the connecting shaft is fixed on the connecting seat, and one end of the flexible connector is connected to the connecting shaft.

[0015] In some implementations, the flexible connector is a PTFE tape.

[0016] In some embodiments, the lamination frame can be configured into a first configuration and a second configuration, and the first configuration and the second configuration have rectangular outer frames of the same size; in the first configuration, the interior of the rectangular outer frame is equally divided into 7 sub-regions by 6 partition bars, the width of the sub-regions in the first configuration is w1, and in the length direction of the sub-regions, the distance between the adjustment blocks is d1; in the second configuration, the interior region of the rectangular outer frame is divided into 6 sub-regions and a non-working region by 5 partition bars, the width of the sub-regions in the second configuration is w2, and in the length direction of the sub-regions, the distance between the adjustment blocks is d2, and the width of the non-working region is w3; wherein, w1 < w2, 0 ≤ w3 < w2, d1 < d2. When laminating photovoltaic laminates of a smaller size, the first configuration of the lamination frame can be adopted, and when laminating photovoltaic laminates of a larger size, the second configuration of the lamination frame can be adopted, which is suitable for laminating photovoltaic laminates of various sizes.

[0029] Reference Figure 1This utility model provides a solar cell module lamination frame, including a rectangular outer frame 1. The area enclosed by the rectangular outer frame 1 has multiple detachable dividing rods 2. The dividing rods 2 divide the area enclosed by the rectangular outer frame 1 into multiple sub-regions 10 arranged in the length direction of the rectangular outer frame 1. In the width direction of the rectangular outer frame 1, each sub-region 10 has detachable adjusting blocks 3 at both ends. The adjusting blocks 3 define a working area 101 smaller than the sub-region 10 within the sub-region 10.

[0030] During lamination, photovoltaic module laminators are placed in the working area 101. Since the separator rod 2 is detachably connected to the rectangular outer frame 1, the separator rod 2 can be removed and its installation position adjusted, thus adjusting the width of the working area 101. The spacing between the adjustment blocks 3 on opposite sides of the sub-area 10 defines the length of the working area 101. Because the adjustment blocks 3 are detachable, different sizes of adjustment blocks 3 can be replaced, making the length of the working area 101 also adjustable. Therefore, the lamination frame of this embodiment can adjust the size of the working area 101 by adjusting the position of the separator rod 2 and / or by installing adjustment blocks 3 of different sizes, so that the solar cell module lamination frame can be adapted to the lamination of photovoltaic semi-finished modules of different shapes. The adjustable configuration of the lamination frame in this embodiment provides good dimensional adaptability, eliminating the need for custom-made lamination frames for various product sizes and saving costs.

[0031] For example, the rectangular outer frame 1 includes a pair of parallel long rods 11 and a pair of parallel short rods 12. A partition rod 2 is disposed within the area enclosed by the rectangular outer frame 1. Both ends of the partition rod 2 are connected to the pair of long rods 11 and are parallel to the short rods 12. The long rods 11, short rods 12, and partition rod 2 are made of aluminum alloy profiles to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the solar cell module laminate frame. The long rods 11 and short rods 12 are assembled into the rectangular outer frame using components such as corner brackets.

[0032] For example, the divider 2 is disposed in the area enclosed by the rectangular frame 1. The divider 2 is parallel to the short side of the rectangular frame 1, such as the short rod 12, that is, the two ends of the divider 2 are respectively perpendicularly connected to the long side of the rectangular frame 1, such as the long rod 11 at both ends of the divider 2.

[0033] Because the long rod 11 and the short rod 12 are made of aluminum alloy profiles, this provides greater flexibility for the installation of the partition rod 2. For example, the partition rod 2 can be connected to the long rod 11 using pre-assembled fasteners such as angle brackets and bolts, which facilitates the adjustment of the installation position of the partition rod 12.

[0034] For example, please refer to Figure 3The long rod 11 has a first connecting slot 111 extending along the length of the long rod 11 on the side facing the sub-region 10, and a second connecting slot 112 is provided on the other side opposite to the first connecting slot 111. The first connecting slot 111 can be used to connect the separator rod 2.

[0035] For example, please refer to Figure 2 The adjusting block 3 has a first straight edge 31 facing the inside of the sub-region 10 and parallel to the length direction of the long rod 11. The first straight edge 31 of the adjusting block 3 at both ends of the sub-region 10 and the dividing rod 2 define the working area 101 within the sub-region 10.

[0036] Optionally, two adjustment blocks 3 are provided at each end of the sub-region 10. The adjustment blocks 3 can be set at the top corner of the sub-region, that is, at the right angle formed by the dividing rod 2 and the long rod 11, or they can be set at a position away from the top corner of the sub-region.

[0037] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the adjusting block 3 also has a second straight side 32 that is opposite to and parallel to the first straight side 31, and the second straight side 32 is in contact with the long rod 11 of the rectangular outer frame 1.

[0038] For example, the adjusting block 3 is connected to the rectangular outer frame 1 by bolts. For instance, the adjusting block 3 is connected at the first connecting slot 111.

[0039] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, there is a default material area 33 between the first straight edge 31 and the second straight edge 32, and a through hole 34 between the default material area 33 and the second straight edge 32. The adjusting block 3 is connected to the rectangular outer frame 1 by a fastener passing through the through hole 34. The default material area 33 is provided to facilitate the installation of the adjusting block 3 onto the long rod 11.

[0040] For example, in order to prevent the corner of the adjusting block 3 from damaging the photovoltaic semi-finished module, the outer corner of the adjusting block 3 facing the photovoltaic semi-finished module is rounded.

[0041] In some examples, the laminated frame can be configured as a first configuration and a second configuration, both having a rectangular outer frame 1 of the same size. For example... Figure 1 As shown, in the first configuration, the rectangular outer frame 1 is divided into 7 sub-regions 10 by 6 dividing rods 2. The width of each sub-region 10 in the first configuration is w1, and the distance from the adjusting block 3 to the short side of the sub-region 10 in the length direction of the sub-region 10 is d1. Figure 4As shown, in the second configuration, the area within the rectangular outer frame 1 is divided into six sub-regions 10 and one non-working area 102 by five dividing rods 2. In the second configuration, the width of sub-region 10 is w2, and the width of the non-working area 102 is w3. Along the length of sub-region 10, the distance from the adjusting block 3 to the short side of sub-region 10 is d2; where w1... <w2,0≤w3<w2,d1<d2。

[0042] When laminating smaller photovoltaic laminates, a first configuration of the lamination frame can be used; when laminating larger photovoltaic laminates, a second configuration of the lamination frame can be used. The first configuration can simultaneously laminate 7 smaller laminates, and the second configuration can simultaneously laminate 6 larger laminates. When switching from the first configuration to the second configuration, the excess area within the rectangular outer frame 1 is designated as a non-working area 102.

[0043] For example, the basic distance between the short rods 12 can be 8496 mm, and the basic spacing between the long rods 11 can be 2519 mm. In the first configuration, the seven dividing rods 2 can divide the area within the rectangular frame 1 into seven sub-regions 10 with a basic size of 2519 × 1188 mm. By constructing the size of the adjusting blocks 3, the basic spacing between the adjusting blocks 3 on opposite sides is made 2332 mm, that is, the basic size of the working area 101 is 2332 mm × 1188 mm. Thus, the first configuration is suitable for laminating laminates with a basic size of 2272 × 1128 mm.

[0044] Alternatively, in the first configuration, the seven dividing rods 2 can equally divide the area within the rectangular outer frame 1 into seven sub-regions 10 with a basic size of 2519 × 1188 mm. By constructing the size of the adjusting blocks 3, the basic distance between the adjusting blocks 3 on opposite sides is 2436 mm, that is, the basic size of the working area 101 is 2436 mm × 1188 mm. Thus, the first configuration is suitable for laminating laminates with a basic size of 2376 × 1128 mm.

[0045] When adjustment block 3 is removed, sub-region 10 and working region 101 are the same size, with a basic dimension of 2519×1188mm. Therefore, it is suitable for laminating laminates with a basic dimension of 2459×1128mm.

[0046] In the second configuration, six dividing rods 2 divide the area within the rectangular frame 1 into six sub-regions 10 with basic dimensions of 2519 × 1357 mm. The dimensions of the adjusting blocks 3 are designed so that the basic distance between opposing adjusting blocks 3 is 2436 mm, meaning the basic dimensions of the working area 101 are 2436 mm × 1357 mm. Therefore, the second configuration is suitable for laminating laminates with basic dimensions of 2378 mm × 1297 mm.

[0047] It should be noted that the width of sub-region 10 and the spacing between the adjustment blocks 3 on opposite sides can be selected within an appropriate range above and / or below the basic size. For example, it can be selected within ±20mm of the basic size, further within ±15mm, further within ±10mm, further within ±5mm, and further within ±2mm.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 5 The four outer corners of the rectangular outer frame 1 are respectively provided with corner protectors 5, which surround the outer corners of the rectangular outer frame 1. The part of the corner protector 5 that does not contact the rectangular outer frame 1 is arc-shaped.

[0049] This invention avoids damage to the silicone plate of the laminator by installing corner protectors 5 at the four outer corners of the rectangular outer frame 1.

[0050] Furthermore, the corner protector 5 has an arc-shaped outer side and a right-angle notch on the inner side. The outer apex corner of the rectangular outer frame 1 fits into the right-angle notch. The corner protector 5 is connected to the rectangular outer frame 1 by fasteners such as bolts. For example, the corner protector 5 can be connected to the long rod 11 and the short rod 12 at the outer apex corner using bolts. In this case, the corner protector 5 can function as a corner bracket, meaning that the four corner protectors 5 can be assembled into the rectangular outer frame 1 using the long rod 11 and the short rod 12. To avoid friction between the bolts and the silicone plate of the laminator, the holes for installing the bolts are countersunk holes.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 6 A connector 4 is provided on the outer side of the rectangular outer frame 1. The solar cell module laminating frame is detachably installed on the component 6 of the laminator through multiple connectors 4. The connectors 4 are evenly distributed along the long and short sides of the rectangular outer frame 1.

[0052] For example, the connector 4 includes a connector base 41, a connector shaft 42, and a flexible connector 43. The connector base 41 is connected to the rectangular outer frame 1 by screws, the connector shaft 42 is fixed on the connector base 41, one end of the flexible connector is connected to the connector shaft 42, and the other end is used to connect to the laminator. The flexible connector 43 is made of PTFE cloth.

[0053] For example, the rectangular outer frame 1 is constructed from aluminum alloy profiles. The rectangular outer frame 1 includes a pair of parallel long rods 11 and a pair of parallel short rods 12. A dividing rod 2 is positioned within the area enclosed by the rectangular outer frame 1. Both ends of the dividing rod 2 are connected to the pair of long rods 11 and are parallel to the short rods 12. A second connecting slot 112 is provided on the outer surfaces of the long rods 11 and short rods 12, i.e., on the sides opposite to the sub-region 10. The connecting seat 41 can be bolted to the second connecting slot 112.

[0054] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to the above embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
