Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic current guides, and in particular relates to an adjustable photovoltaic current guide. Background Technology

[0002] When it rains or there is heavy dew, the water generated on the photovoltaic panel carries dust downwards. After being blocked by the frame, and due to the surface tension of the water, 5-6mm deep gray water accumulates at the bottom edge. After the rainwater evaporates, it forms a dust accumulation band of varying thickness and width.

[0003] Dust accumulation can cause severe localized shading of photovoltaic (PV) cells, turning them from power generators into resistors, consuming electrical energy, and causing bypass diodes to conduct, thus reducing power generation efficiency. PV panel current collectors are typically installed on the lower side of wide-angle modules with frames. Utilizing their unique structural design and the hydrophilicity of aluminum, they create a siphon and capillary effect when dust and water encounter the current collector, quickly removing the dust and water. This effectively reduces dust accumulation, alleviates hot spots, and improves power generation efficiency and output.

[0004] The current guide is typically installed on the underside of the tilted side of the photovoltaic panel. Existing current guides, once locked in place, are difficult to move or remove. If an improper installation position is discovered and adjustment is needed, forcibly moving the current guide will leave scratches on the photovoltaic panel surface. Therefore, this invention provides a current guide for photovoltaic panels that can be disassembled without damage after installation, facilitating adjustment of the current guide's installation position. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable photovoltaic current guide, which can be disassembled without damage after installation, making it easy to adjust the installation position of the current guide.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] An adjustable photovoltaic current guide includes a clamp plate that is snapped and fixed to the frame of a photovoltaic panel. Both sides of the clamp plate are integrally connected with a current guide plate. The current guide plate and the clamp plate are both bent at the corners of the frame.

[0008] The guide plate has an arc-shaped arch at the center to form a first ridge, and the first ridge forms a first flow channel on the inner side of the guide plate.

[0009] The clamp plate is integrally connected to the lower side of the clamp plate. The clamp plate forms a bent part at the lower corner of the frame. The connection position between the clamp plate and the clamp plate has an arc-shaped part.

[0010] Furthermore, a buckle plate is integrally fixed at the connection position between the snap-fit ​​plate and the arc-shaped part, and the buckle plate is curved toward one side of the snap-fit ​​plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the guide plate has an inwardly bent portion on one side corresponding to the photovoltaic panel, and the first back ridge has air holes.

[0012] Furthermore, the clamp plate has an arc-shaped arch at the center to form a second ridge, and the second ridge forms a second drainage groove on the inner side of the clamp plate. The clamp plate has a drainage hole at the connection position with the snap-fit ​​plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the connection between the guide plate and the clamp plate is located on the side wall of the corresponding frame, and the guide plate and the clamp plate form a third flow channel on the upper side of the corresponding frame. The clamp plate has an upwardly curved rolled-up portion on the side corresponding to the photovoltaic panel, and the rolled-up portion has a V-shaped groove at the opening of the second flow channel.

[0014] This invention offers the following advantages: the arc-shaped portion is an integral structure of the snap-fit ​​plate, formed by bending the snap-fit ​​plate outwards in an arc shape. This arc-shaped portion creates an inward clamping force on the snap-fit ​​plate. When this flow guide is installed on the photovoltaic panel frame, both the clamping plate and the snap-fit ​​plate are required for secure installation. The lower snap-fit ​​plate, through its arc-shaped portion, creates a clamping elasticity, which not only improves clamping stability but also allows for disassembly. This enables the snap-fit ​​plate to overcome the elasticity provided by the arc-shaped plate, releasing the clamping force and completing the disassembly process. This facilitates positional adjustment of the flow guide along the length of the frame. Attached Figure Description

[0015] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, the accompanying drawings used in the description of the embodiments will be briefly introduced below.

[0016] Figure 1 : Schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model.

[0017] Figure 2 : Schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model.

[0018] Figure 3 : Schematic diagram of the installation structure of this utility model.

[0019] The components represented by each number in the attached diagram are listed below: clamp plate 1, guide plate 2, first back ridge 21, snap plate 3, arc-shaped part 31, buckle plate 32, air hole 22, second back ridge 11, drainage hole 14, third drainage groove 4, roll-up part 12, V-shaped groove 13. Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0021] like Figures 1-3 As shown: An adjustable photovoltaic current guide includes a clamp plate 1 that is snapped and fixed to the frame of a photovoltaic panel. A current guide plate 2 is integrally connected to both sides of the clamp plate 1. Bends are formed at the corners of the frame corresponding to the current guide plate 2 and the clamp plate 1. The clamp plate is used on the upper side of the frame. Both the clamp plate and the current guide plate are made of stainless steel with a thickness of about 0.2-0.5mm. The bends formed in the middle are used to make the sides of the current guide plate and the clamp plate fit the frame better.

[0022] The guide plate 2 has an arc-shaped arch at the center to form a first back ridge 21, and the first back ridge 21 forms a first drainage groove on the inner side of the guide plate 2. The main function of the drainage groove is to break the surface tension of the water, use the hydrophilicity of the metal to adsorb water molecules, and then the water flows along the first drainage groove to achieve the effect of removing the water.

[0023] The clamp plate 1 is integrally connected to the lower side of the clamp plate 3. The clamp plate 3 forms a bent part at the lower corner of the frame. The connection position between the clamp plate 1 and the clamp plate 3 has an arc-shaped part 31.

[0024] The curved section is an integral structure of the snap-fit ​​plate, formed by bending the snap-fit ​​plate outwards in an arc. This curved section provides a clamping force that holds the snap-fit ​​plate inwards. When this diffuser is installed on the photovoltaic panel frame, both the clamping plate and the snap-fit ​​plate are required for secure installation. The lower snap-fit ​​plate, through its curved section, creates a clamping elasticity, which not only improves clamping stability but also allows for disassembly. This enables the snap-fit ​​plate to overcome the elasticity provided by the curved plate, releasing the clamping force and facilitating disassembly. This also allows for easy adjustment of the diffuser's position along the frame's length.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown: A buckle plate 32 is integrally fixed at the connection position between the snap-fit ​​plate 3 and the arc-shaped part 31. The buckle plate 32 is curved towards the snap-fit ​​plate 3. The buckle plate is used for finger-operated force. By bending the buckle plate, the snap-fit ​​plate is activated to overcome the inward-clamping elasticity formed by the arc-shaped part, making it easy to operate. The guide plate 2 has an inward-clamping bend on one side corresponding to the photovoltaic panel, and the first back ridge 21 has an air hole 22. This is used to extend the first drainage channel to the corner position between the photovoltaic panel and the frame, which is the main water accumulation position. The air hole is connected to the first drainage channel and is located on the upper side of the guide plate to balance the air pressure in the first drainage channel and allow the water to flow smoothly.

[0026] like Figure 1As shown: The clamp plate 1 has a central arched shape forming a second ridge 11. The second ridge 11 corresponds to the inner side of the clamp plate 1, forming a second drainage groove. The clamp plate 1 has a drainage hole 14 at the connection point with the clamping plate 3. This improves the drainage effect; accumulated water flows down the second drainage groove and is discharged through the drainage hole. The connection point between the guide plate 2 and the clamp plate 1 is located on the side wall of the corresponding frame. The guide plate 2 and the clamp plate 1 form a third drainage groove 4 on the upper side of the corresponding frame. The third drainage groove is an open groove, utilizing the hydrophilic effect of the sides of the guide plate and the clamp plate to further drain accumulated water.

[0027] The clamp plate 1 has an upwardly curved, rolled-up portion 12 on one side corresponding to the photovoltaic panel, and the rolled-up portion 12 has a V-shaped groove 13 at the opening of the second drainage channel. This is used to prevent scratches on the surface of the photovoltaic panel during the adjustment process, and the V-shaped groove helps to break the surface tension of the accumulated water and improve the drainage effect.

[0028] These embodiments are selected and specifically described in this specification in order to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and utilize this utility model.
