The reinforcing frame assembly 5 is composed of a main support body 11, an anti-corrosion layer 13, a hydrophobic layer 14, and an anti-ultraviolet layer 15. The main support body 11 is made of hot-dip galvanized steel. This structure of the main support body 11 has sufficient... It has high strength, low cost, and certain corrosion resistance. The outer wall of the anti-corrosion layer 13 is provided with a hydrophobic layer 14, and the outer wall of the hydrophobic layer 14 is provided with an anti-ultraviolet layer 15. This structure can improve the hydrophobicity of the main support body 11 and reduce ice adhesion. The anti-ultraviolet layer 15 is made of fluorocarbon topcoat, and the anti-corrosion layer 13 is made of epoxy micaceous iron oxide intermediate paint. This structure can improve the anti-ultraviolet function of the main support body 11. The end frame assembly 1 includes the main support body 11. The end frame assembly 1 and the side frame assembly 4 form a rectangular structure. The support frame assembly 6... The side frame assembly 4, end frame assembly 1, and reinforcing frame assembly 5 are fixed by welding. This structure, through the connection of end frame assembly 1 and side frame assembly 4, provides sufficient support for the installation of solar panels. The support frame assembly 6 and side frame assembly 4 have the same structure as end frame assembly 1. Protective pads 3 are affixed to the joints of support frame assembly 6, side frame assembly 4, end frame assembly 1, and reinforcing frame assembly 5. The protective pads 3 are made of corrosion-resistant rubber and are affixed to the welded joints to protect the welds and prevent damage.

[0023] Working principle: When using this high-altitude and cold-resistant photovoltaic support anti-corrosion and cold-proof device, the solar panels are first installed on the top of the main support body 11 of the side frame assembly 4 and the end frame assembly 1. During the use of this device, if there is snow on the surface of the main support body 11 of the support frame assembly 6, the side frame assembly 4 and the end frame assembly 1, the electric heating tape 12 will be activated. After the electric heating tape 12 is activated, it will heat the main support body 11, thereby melting the snow on the surface of the main support body 11 and drying the surface of the main support body 11 quickly. During the use of this device, the anti-corrosion layer 13, the hydrophobic layer 14 and the anti-ultraviolet layer 15 can also play a role in anti-corrosion, anti-ultraviolet and hydrophobic protection for the main support body 11, thereby ensuring the service life of the main support body 11 and reducing the maintenance cost of the main support body 11.
