Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of photovoltaic module technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic module frame and a photovoltaic module. Background Technology

[0002] The frame is an important component of photovoltaic modules. Its main function is to encapsulate laminated materials such as solar cells, glass, and backsheets, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the photovoltaic module.

[0003] In related technologies, the frame mainly includes a connecting part and a cavity structure. The connecting part is located at the top of the cavity structure and has a slot. The edge of the laminate of the photovoltaic module is inserted into the slot. The cavity structure can improve the strength of the frame in the height direction.

[0004] However, the inventors realized that if a strong wind, for example, is encountered along the width of the frame, the frame will deform along its own width due to the force of the strong wind on the laminate along the width of the frame, thereby affecting the installation stability of the frame and the laminate. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a photovoltaic module frame and a photovoltaic module in one or more embodiments to solve the problem in the related art where the frame deforms along its own width direction, affecting the installation stability of the frame and the laminate.

[0006] The first aspect of this application provides a photovoltaic module frame, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A photovoltaic module frame includes a frame body, the frame body including a first connecting portion, a first reinforcing portion and a second reinforcing portion, the first connecting portion and the first reinforcing portion being arranged along the width direction of the frame body, and the second reinforcing portion and the first connecting portion being arranged along the height direction of the frame body.

[0008] In some embodiments, the frame body further includes a second connecting portion, which is connected to the end of the second reinforcing portion away from the first connecting portion, and the second connecting portion is used to connect to the photovoltaic bracket.

[0009] In some embodiments, the first connecting portion is provided with a slot for embedding a laminate of a photovoltaic module; a locking structure is provided at the end of the first connecting portion facing the laminate, and the locking structure abuts against the laminate.

[0010] In some embodiments, the height of one end of the locking structure away from the first connecting portion is lower than the height of the other end of the locking structure near the first connecting portion.

[0011] In some embodiments, a friction portion is provided on the end face of the first reinforcing portion away from the first connecting portion, the friction portion is in contact with the pressure block of the photovoltaic module, and the friction portion extends along the length direction of the frame body.

[0012] In some embodiments, the friction portion includes a plurality of limiting structures, which are spaced apart along the height direction of the frame body.

[0013] In some embodiments, the photovoltaic module frame further includes a first positioning structure and a second positioning structure, wherein the first positioning structure is disposed at one end of the frame body along the height direction, and the second positioning structure is disposed at the other end of the frame body along the height direction;

[0014] Along the height direction of the frame body, the first positioning structure of one photovoltaic module frame is engaged with the second positioning structure of another photovoltaic module frame.

[0015] In some embodiments, the first positioning structure is a protrusion structure and the second positioning structure is a groove structure;

[0016] Alternatively, the first positioning structure may be a groove structure, and the second positioning structure may be a protrusion structure.

[0017] A second aspect of this application provides a photovoltaic module, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0018] A photovoltaic module includes a laminate and a photovoltaic module frame as described above, wherein at least one photovoltaic module frame is provided on each side of the laminate, and the length of the frame body of the photovoltaic module frame is less than the side length of the laminate.

[0019] In some embodiments, the photovoltaic module further includes a buffer pad, a third positioning structure is formed on the inner wall of the slot, and the buffer pad is provided with a fourth positioning structure, the fourth positioning structure being adapted and connected to the third positioning structure.

[0020] Compared with related technologies, one or more embodiments of this application include at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0021] A photovoltaic module includes a photovoltaic module frame and a laminate. The photovoltaic module frame may include a frame body, which includes a first connecting part and a first reinforcing part. Since the slot of the first connecting part is used to insert the laminate of the photovoltaic module, the first connecting part and the first reinforcing part are arranged adjacent to each other along the width direction of the frame. This allows the first reinforcing part of the photovoltaic module frame to be stressed when resisting wind loads along the width direction of the frame body. The first reinforcing part increases the stress intensity of the entire photovoltaic module frame along its own width direction, thus preventing the frame body from deforming along its own width direction.

[0022] Furthermore, the frame body also includes a second reinforcing part, which is arranged along the height direction of the frame body with the first connecting part. The second reinforcing part increases the stress intensity of the frame body along the height direction and improves the vertical support stiffness of the laminate. In short, the first and second reinforcing parts can enhance the load strength of the photovoltaic module frame and correspondingly improve the installation stability of the photovoltaic module frame and the laminate.

[0045] One or more embodiments of this application disclose a photovoltaic module frame and a photovoltaic module.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The photovoltaic module frame includes a frame body 110, which includes a first connecting part 111, a first reinforcing part 112, and a second reinforcing part 114. The first connecting part 111 and the first reinforcing part 112 are arranged along the width direction of the frame body 110, and the second reinforcing part 114 and the first connecting part 111 are arranged along the height direction of the frame body 110.

[0047] Specifically, the width direction can be... Figure 1 The X-axis is parallel in the coordinate system.

[0048] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first connecting portion 111 is a cavity structure with a slot 1111, which can be used for insertion of the laminate 300 of the photovoltaic module. The first reinforcing portion 112 can be disposed at the end of the first connecting portion 111 away from the laminate 300, and the first reinforcing portion 112 and the first connecting portion 111 can be constructed as an integral structure. The first reinforcing portion 112 can be a closed cavity structure.

[0049] The second reinforcing part 114 may adopt an internally hollow cavity structure; the first connecting part 111, the second reinforcing part 114 and the second connecting part 115 may be arranged along the height direction. Specifically, the second reinforcing part 114 may be disposed at the bottom of the first connecting part 111 and the first reinforcing part 112, and the second connecting part 115 may be disposed at the bottom of the second reinforcing part 114.

[0050] A photovoltaic module includes a photovoltaic module frame 100 and a laminate 300. The photovoltaic module frame 100 may include a frame body 110, which includes a first connecting portion 111 and a first reinforcing portion 112. Since the slot 1111 of the first connecting portion 111 is used to insert the laminate 300 of the photovoltaic module, the first reinforcing portion 112 is disposed at the end of the first connecting portion 111 away from the laminate 300 along the width direction. Along the width direction of the frame body 110, the first reinforcing portion 112 of one photovoltaic module frame 100 is disposed adjacent to the first reinforcing portion 112 of another photovoltaic module frame 100, so that the first reinforcing portion 112 of the photovoltaic module frame 100 is subjected to force when resisting wind load along the width direction of the frame body, so as to increase the stress intensity of the entire photovoltaic module frame 100 along its own width direction through the first reinforcing portion 112, and avoid the frame body from deforming along its own width direction.

[0051] Furthermore, the frame body 110 also includes a second reinforcing part 114, which is arranged with the first connecting part 111 along the height direction of the frame body 110. The second reinforcing part 114 increases the stress intensity of the frame body 110 along the height direction and improves the vertical support stiffness of the laminate 300. In short, the load strength of the photovoltaic module frame 100 can be enhanced by the first reinforcing part 112 and the second reinforcing part 114, thereby improving the installation stability of the laminate 300 relative to the photovoltaic module frame 100.

[0052] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 2 As shown, the frame body 110 also includes a second connecting portion 115, which is connected to the end of the second reinforcing portion 114 away from the first connecting portion 111. The second connecting portion 115 is used to connect with the photovoltaic bracket.

[0053] In at least one embodiment, the first connecting portion 111 and the second connecting portion 115 can be arranged along the height direction, meaning that the bottom end of the first connecting portion 111 is connected to the top end of the second connecting portion 115.

[0054] The photovoltaic system may include a photovoltaic bracket and a photovoltaic module. The photovoltaic module includes a photovoltaic module frame. The second connecting part 115 can be connected to the photovoltaic bracket in the following ways: for example, the second connecting part 115 is provided with a connecting groove 1151 with a bottom opening. The connecting groove 1151 can be used for the insertion of a sliding connector of the photovoltaic bracket, such as a slider connector, so as to facilitate the quick assembly of the photovoltaic module and the photovoltaic bracket. Of course, the second connecting part 115 can also be connected to the photovoltaic bracket in other ways, which are not specifically limited here.

[0055] In this application, Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7In the middle, the frame of the photovoltaic module along Figure 1 The cross-sectional structure of the plane formed by the X-axis and Z-axis in the coordinate system, wherein the top surface of the first connecting part in the cross-sectional structure can be a straight shape.

[0056] Figure 4 In the middle, the frame of the photovoltaic module along Figure 1 The cross-sectional structure of the plane formed by the X-axis and Z-axis in the coordinate system, wherein the top surface of the first connecting part in the cross-sectional structure is not flat but has an arc-shaped structure, as illustrated by the example:

[0057] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first connecting part 111 is provided with a slot 1111, and the slot 1111 is used to embed the laminate 300 of the photovoltaic module; the end of the first connecting part 111 facing the laminate 300 is provided with a locking structure 1113, and the locking structure 1113 abuts against the laminate 300.

[0058] In at least one embodiment, a locking structure 1113 is provided at one end edge of the first connecting portion 111 along the height direction (e.g., the top of the slot 1111).

[0059] When the laminate 300 is placed in the slot 1111 of the first connecting part 111 via the buffer pad 200, the locking structure 1113 abuts against the laminate 300. The locking structure 1113 can restrict the laminate 300 in both the height and width directions, thereby reducing the movement space of the laminate 300 in both the height and width directions and increasing the stability of the laminate 300 installed in the slot 1111 of the photovoltaic module frame 100.

[0060] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 4 As shown, the height of the end of the locking structure 1113 away from the first connecting portion 111 is lower than the height of the other end of the locking structure 1113 near the first connecting portion 111.

[0061] In at least one embodiment, since the height of one end of the locking structure 1113 away from the first connecting portion 111 is lower than the height of the other end of the locking structure 1113 near the first connecting portion 111, the locking structure 1113 away from the first connecting portion 111 can strengthen the restriction effect on the laminate 300 in the height direction, further reducing the movement space of the laminate 300 in the height direction, thereby increasing the stability of the laminate 300 installed in the slot 1111 of the photovoltaic module frame 100.

[0062] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5As shown, a friction part 113 is provided on the end face of the first reinforcing part 112 away from the first connecting part 111. The friction part 113 is in contact with the pressure block of the photovoltaic module and extends along the length direction of the frame body 110.

[0063] In at least one embodiment, the friction part 113 may be disposed on the end face of the first reinforcing part 112 away from the first connecting part 111. Along the width direction of the photovoltaic module frame 100, two adjacent photovoltaic module frames 100 are connected and fastened by a pressure block, so the friction part 113 is in contact with and fits the pressure block.

[0064] During the installation of photovoltaic modules, along the width direction of the frame body, the first reinforcing parts 112 of two adjacent photovoltaic module frames 100 are connected and fixed by pressure blocks, and the friction parts 113 on the first reinforcing parts 112 of the two adjacent photovoltaic module frames 100 are in contact with the pressure blocks. This increases the contact area with the pressure blocks through the friction parts 113 on the first reinforcing parts 112, so as to prevent the photovoltaic modules from shaking due to wind force during use or operation, thereby improving the installation stability of the photovoltaic modules.

[0065] The length direction can be with Figure 3 The Y-axis is parallel in the coordinate system.

[0066] Since the friction part 113 extends along the length direction of the photovoltaic module frame 100 on the first reinforcing part 112, the pressure block of the photovoltaic module can be attached to the friction part 113 at any position along the length direction of the photovoltaic module frame 100. In other words, the pressure block can be set at any position along the length direction of the first reinforcing part 112 of the photovoltaic module frame 100, which not only increases the connection stability between the photovoltaic module frame 100 and the pressure block, but also improves the assembly convenience of the photovoltaic module through the flexibility of the pressure block and the friction part 113 to be attached in an adjustable position.

[0067] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5 As shown, the friction part 113 includes a plurality of limiting structures 1131, which are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the frame body 110.

[0068] In at least one embodiment, the limiting structure 1131 may be a recessed structure, see Figure 5 As shown in the figure. Alternatively, the limiting structure 1131 can also be a convex ridge structure, or the limiting structure 1131 can also be a combination structure with alternating convex ridge structures and concave structures, which is not shown in the figure.

[0069] The height direction can be with Figure 5 The Z-axis is parallel in the coordinate system.

[0070] Since the friction part 113 includes a plurality of limiting structures 1131 spaced apart along the height direction of the frame body, when the pressure block with different heights is attached to the first reinforcing part 112 of the photovoltaic module frame 100, at least a portion of the plurality of limiting structures 1131 spaced apart along the height direction is attached to the pressure block. This not only increases the assembly stability of the pressure block and the photovoltaic module frame 100 in the photovoltaic module, but also allows the plurality of limiting structures 1131 spaced apart along the height direction on the photovoltaic module frame 100 to be attached to pressure blocks of different heights, thereby improving the versatility of connecting the photovoltaic module frame 100 with pressure blocks of different specifications.

[0071] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the photovoltaic module frame 100 also includes a first positioning structure 1101 and a second positioning structure 1102. The first positioning structure 1101 is disposed at one end of the frame body 110 along the height direction, and the second positioning structure 1102 is disposed at the other end of the frame body 110 along the height direction.

[0072] Along the height direction of the frame body 110, the first positioning structure 1101 of one photovoltaic module frame 100 is engaged with the second positioning structure 1102 of another photovoltaic module frame 100.

[0073] In at least one embodiment, the height direction is... Figure 6 and Figure 7 The coordinate system is parallel along the Z-axis, and multiple photovoltaic module frames 100 can be stacked and arranged along the height direction of the photovoltaic module frames 100 inside the transport vehicle.

[0074] The positive direction of the frame body 110 along the height direction ( Figure 9 The first positioning structure 1101 is set at one end of the positive Z-axis of the coordinate system, and the frame body 110 is positioned in the opposite direction of the height direction. Figure 9 A second positioning structure 1102 is set at one end of the coordinate system (Z-axis reversed).

[0075] The structures of the first positioning structure 1101 and the second positioning structure 1102 are matched so that when multiple photovoltaic module frames 100 are stacked along the height direction, the first positioning structure 1101 of one photovoltaic module frame 100 can be engaged with the second positioning structure 1102 of the adjacent photovoltaic module frame 100.

[0076] The positions of the first positioning structure 1101 and the second positioning structure 1102 correspond along the height direction; in other words, the line connecting the first positioning structure 1101 and the second positioning structure 1102 is perpendicular to the line connecting the two positioning structures. Figure 6The Z-axis in the coordinate system is parallel, which improves the neatness of the arrangement of multiple photovoltaic module frames 100 when they are stacked along the height direction.

[0077] The photovoltaic module frame 100 may include a frame body 110, a first positioning structure 1101, and a second positioning structure 1102. The first positioning structure 1101 and the second positioning structure 1102 are respectively provided at both ends of the frame body 110 along the height direction. During loading onto a transport vehicle, multiple photovoltaic module frames 100 can be stacked along the height direction (vertical direction). This not only ensures that the height direction of each photovoltaic module frame 100 is parallel to the vertical direction, thus lowering the center of gravity of the photovoltaic module frames, but also facilitates the stacking and placement of multiple photovoltaic module frames 100. To ensure stability, and along the height direction, the first positioning structure 1101 and the second positioning structure 1102 of the photovoltaic module frame 100 respectively engage with the second positioning structure 1102 and the first positioning structure 1101 of two adjacent photovoltaic module frames 100, so as to effectively reduce or even avoid horizontal swaying between adjacent photovoltaic module frames 100 along the height direction, reduce the possibility of wear between photovoltaic module frames 100 along the height direction, and correspondingly increase the stability and safety of multiple photovoltaic module frames 100 during transportation along the height direction, so as to ensure the quality of photovoltaic module frames 100.

[0078] In some embodiments, the first positioning structure 1101 is a protrusion structure and the second positioning structure 1102 is a groove structure;

[0079] Alternatively, the first positioning structure 1101 may be a groove structure, and the second positioning structure 1102 may be a protrusion structure.

[0080] In at least one embodiment, combined Figure 8 As shown, it is located at one end of the frame body 110 along the height direction. Figure 8 The first positioning structure 1101 (positive Z-axis of the coordinate system) is a protruding structure, located at the other end of the frame body 110 along the height direction. Figure 8 The second positioning structure 1102 (with the Z-axis of the coordinate system reversed) is a groove structure.

[0081] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, it is located at one end of the frame body 110 along the height direction. Figure 9 The first positioning structure 1101 (positive Z-axis of the coordinate system) is a groove structure, located at the other end of the frame body 110 along the height direction. Figure 9 The second positioning structure 1102 (with the Z-axis of the coordinate system reversed) is a raised structure.

[0082] The first positioning structure 1101 and the second positioning structure 1102 can both extend along the length direction of the photovoltaic module frame 100, so that two adjacent photovoltaic module frames 100 stacked along the height direction can be positioned at any position, preventing the photovoltaic module frames 100 from shaking in the horizontal direction, thereby improving the stacking flexibility of the photovoltaic module frames 100 arranged along the height direction.

[0083] This application also discloses a photovoltaic module in one or more embodiments. (See reference...) Figure 9 and Figure 10 The photovoltaic module includes a laminate 300 and a photovoltaic module frame 100 as described in the above embodiment. At least one photovoltaic module frame 100 is provided on each side of the laminate 300. The length of the frame body 110 of the photovoltaic module frame 100 is less than the side length of the laminate 300.

[0084] In at least one embodiment, the photovoltaic module includes a photovoltaic module frame 100, a buffer pad 200, and a laminate 300. The first connecting portion 111 of the photovoltaic module frame 100 is provided with a slot 1111. The laminate 300 can be installed in the slot 1111 through the buffer pad 200 to realize the assembly operation of the laminate 300, the buffer pad 200, and the photovoltaic module frame 100.

[0085] In at least one embodiment, the border body 110 along Figure 9 The dimension along the Y-axis in the coordinate system is the length of the frame body 110, and the laminate 300 is along... Figure 9 The dimension along the Y-axis in the coordinate system is the length of the laminate 300.

[0086] The entire long side of the laminate 300 may be fitted with at least one photovoltaic module frame 100 (see...). Figure 2 As shown, a single long side of the laminate 300 is connected to two photovoltaic module frames 100, and the entire short side of the laminate 300 can be connected to at least one photovoltaic module frame 100 (see Figure 1). Figure 2 As shown, a single short side of the laminate 300 is connected to one photovoltaic module frame 100; alternatively, a single long side of the laminate 300 can be connected to three photovoltaic module frames 100, and a single short side of the laminate 300 can be connected to two photovoltaic module frames 100. The number of frames connected to the sides of the laminate 300 can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the entire photovoltaic module and the installation position. There is no specific limitation on the number of connections between each side of the laminate 300 and the photovoltaic module frame 100. Therefore, the photovoltaic module frame 100 of this photovoltaic module is a segmented frame. Compared with the conventional integral frame in related technologies, this segmented frame has the advantages of convenient installation and lower cost.

[0087] Since the length of the frame body 110 is less than the side length of the laminate 300, the frame body 110 is a segmented photovoltaic module frame. Accordingly, at least one photovoltaic module frame 100 can be installed on a part of the side of the laminate 300. If a part of the frame is partially damaged, only the damaged frame needs to be replaced, which can effectively reduce the maintenance cost of the photovoltaic module and shorten the maintenance time.

[0088] Furthermore, segmented frames offer other advantages over monolithic frames in related technologies, such as reduced transportation costs and complexity; their shorter length makes them suitable for installation scenarios with irregular or limited spaces, facilitating installation; on-demand segmented production avoids scraps generated by traditional frame cutting, reducing material waste; and the segmented design allows for fine-tuning of frame displacement, reducing photovoltaic module breakage or frame deformation caused by temperature changes and extending their lifespan.

[0089] The beneficial effects of the photovoltaic module in this embodiment compared to related technologies are the same as those of the photovoltaic module frame 100 described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0090] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the photovoltaic module also includes a buffer pad 200, a third positioning structure 1112 is provided on the inner wall of the slot 1111, and the buffer pad 200 is provided with a fourth positioning structure 201, which is adapted to and connected to the third positioning structure 1112.

[0091] In at least one embodiment, the cushioning pad 200 may be made of a flexible material, such as rubber, silicone, etc.

[0092] The shape of the fourth positioning structure 201 is adapted to that of the third positioning structure 1112. For example, if the third positioning structure 1112 is a groove, then the fourth positioning structure 201 is a rib (see...). Figure 10 and Figure 11 (as shown); or, if the third positioning structure 1112 is a rib, then the fourth positioning structure 201 is a groove.

[0093] The first connecting part 111 of the photovoltaic module frame 100 is provided with a slot 1111, and a buffer pad 200 is embedded in the slot 1111. The buffer pad 200 has an installation groove, and the edge of the laminate 300 is inserted into the installation groove of the buffer pad 200 so that the laminate 300 can be installed in the slot 1111 of the photovoltaic module frame 100 through the buffer pad 200. The buffer pad 200 not only serves as a soft connection between the laminate 300 and the photovoltaic module frame 100, preventing particulate matter (such as pebbles) from entering between the laminate 300 and the slot 1111 when they are in direct contact, thus avoiding damage to the laminate 300 and the photovoltaic module frame 100, but also serves as a seal between the laminate 300 and the photovoltaic module frame 100, reducing the amount of rainwater entering the laminate 300 from the connection between the laminate 300 and the photovoltaic module frame 100.

[0094] Furthermore, when the buffer pad 200 is inserted into (or embedded in) the slot 1111 of the photovoltaic module frame 100, the fourth positioning structure 201 of the buffer pad 200 and the third positioning structure 1112 of the first connecting part 111 are adapted to connect, for example, by plugging in, so as to increase the contact area between the two, thereby not only increasing the connection stability between the buffer pad 200 and the photovoltaic module frame 100, but also further improving the sealing effect of the two.
