[0018] <Overall Composition>

[0019] This utility model provides a photovoltaic frame with an adjustable slot width, such as... Figure 1 As shown in the cross-sectional view, it is mainly divided into two parts: the slotted frame body 10 and the movable receiving groove wall 20.

[0020] Preferably, both the slotted frame body 10 and the movable receiving groove wall 20 are formed by forward hot extrusion. The slotted frame body 10 is formed as an integral, longitudinally elongated structure, which, in a cross-sectional view, may include: a right vertical wall 11, a positioning rib 12, a cavity 13, a dovetail groove 14, a receiving groove bottom 15, a left vertical wall 16, a lower wall 17, and an upper wall 19. Correspondingly, the movable receiving groove wall 20 includes a glue-receiving groove 21 and a dovetail block 22.

[0021] The cavity 13 is defined by a right vertical wall 11, an upper wall 19, a left vertical wall 16, and a lower wall 17. Preferably, the right vertical wall 11 and the left vertical wall 16 are parallel to each other and both perpendicular to the upper wall 19. The upper wall 19 and the lower wall 17 are parallel to each other and both perpendicular to the right vertical wall 11. A positioning rib 12 may also be formed protruding into the cavity 13 from at least one of the inner circumferential surfaces of the walls, for example, from the right vertical wall 11 or the left vertical wall 16 as shown in the figure. The positioning rib 12 may extend perpendicularly to the right vertical wall 11.

[0022] The right vertical wall 11 is configured to also include a free cantilevered extension wall 18 that extends vertically upward from the upper wall 19 relative to the cavity 13. Thus, the slotted frame body 10 has a generally B-shaped cross-sectional shape.

[0023] Furthermore, on the outer surface of the upper wall 19, two or more dovetail grooves 14 are provided longitudinally in parallel at a predetermined distance from the extended wall portion 18.

[0024] Thus, the dovetail block 22 of the movable receiving groove wall 20 can be inserted as needed to fit into one of the dovetail grooves 14 of the slotted frame body 10, and together with the right vertical wall 11 (i.e., the extended wall portion 18) of the slotted frame body 10, it forms a complete receiving groove 30. At this time, the portion of the upper wall 19 corresponding to the receiving groove 30 constitutes the receiving groove bottom 15.

[0025] This allows for the construction of a photovoltaic frame with an adjustable slot width.

[0026] Preferably, the movable receiving groove wall 20 is perpendicular to the receiving groove bottom 15, and its height is not limited, but it is preferably aligned with the extended wall portion 18. The adhesive receiving groove 21 is configured as an arc-shaped concave irregular structure located on the right side of the movable receiving groove wall 20, opening towards the extended wall portion 18. When subsequently inserting the periphery of the photovoltaic panel into the receiving groove 30, the photovoltaic panel can be further secured by accommodating the installation adhesive in the adhesive receiving groove 21.

[0027] The glue-containing groove 21 and the dovetail block 22 are preferably respectively disposed on opposite ends of the movable receiving groove wall 20, but are not limited thereto. The glue-containing groove 21 may also be disposed at any position of the movable receiving groove wall 20 facing the outward extension wall 18, or may be disposed as a stepped groove to additionally form an overflow groove and optimize the adhesive effect.

[0028] <Example>

[0029] The slotted frame body 10 and the movable receiving groove wall 20 are made of aluminum alloy, specifically 6005 aluminum alloy, with a composition conforming to national standards. The aluminum alloy is produced by hot extrusion forming, and the cross-section conforms to national standards. Figure 1 The adjustable slot width photovoltaic frame, the specific mold form and extrusion process are not limited to those described below.

[0030] After extrusion, the material is cut to a fixed length of 6050 (0, +20) mm and then aged at 185-195℃ for 3-4 hours. Afterward, it undergoes sandblasting or shot blasting. Taking sandblasting as an example, the glass abrasive is 40-80 mesh, and the blasting speed is 25-35 Hz, followed by conventional anodizing.

[0031] The right vertical wall 11 has a thickness of 1.5 (±0.15) mm and a height of 45 (±0.2) mm.

[0032] The left vertical wall 16 has a thickness of 1.3 (±0.15) mm and a height of 25 (±0.2) mm.

[0033] The bottom of the receiving tank is 15 mm thick (±0.15 mm) and 35 mm wide (±0.2 mm).

[0034] The lower wall 17 has a thickness of 1.3 (±0.15) mm and a width of 35 (±0.2) mm.

[0035] The positioning rib 12 has a thickness of 1 (±0.15) mm and a height of 1.3 (±0.15) mm.

[0036] The dovetail groove 14 is trapezoidal, with a lower base of 2.2 (-0.02, +0) mm, an upper base of 1.8 (-0.02, +0) mm, and a height of 1.5 (-0.02, +0) mm.

[0037] The dovetail block 22 is trapezoidal, with a lower base of 2.2 (0, +0.02) mm, an upper base of 1.8 (0, +0.02) mm, and a height of 1.5 (0, +0.02) mm.

[0038] The movable containment tank wall 20 is cooled entirely with liquid nitrogen for 5-10 minutes. The dovetail block 22 of the movable containment tank wall 20 is then inserted into a required dovetail groove 14 of the slotted frame body 10 to achieve an interference fit.

[0039] After that, conventional deep processing (sawing, punching, punching, etc.) and splicing assembly are carried out, which will not be described in detail.

[0040] <Variation Example>

[0041] The above illustrates an example using a single movable receiving wall 20, which has a longitudinal length corresponding to the right vertical wall 11. However, it is not limited to a single continuous wall; it can also be configured as multiple segments, with an overall longitudinal length corresponding to the right vertical wall 11. Especially when the right vertical wall 11 is longitudinally longer, the segmented movable receiving wall 20 can be assembled separately from the longitudinally opposite sides of the dovetail groove 14, simplifying the assembly process.

[0042] The dovetail groove 14, which is not used during assembly, can also be used as a drainage groove.

Unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "linked," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances. Although the present invention has been described with reference to various specific embodiments, it should be understood that modifications can be made within the spirit and scope of the described inventive concept. Therefore, it is intended that the present invention be limited to the described embodiments but will have the full scope defined by the language of the appended claims.
