[0064] Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail, examples of which are shown in the drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numerals will be used in all the drawings to denote the same or similar parts.

[0065] Furthermore, although the terminology used in this invention is selected from commonly known and used terms, some terms mentioned in this specification may have been selected by the applicant in his or her judgment, and their detailed meanings are explained in the relevant sections of the description herein.

[0066] Furthermore, it is required that this utility model be understood not only through the actual terminology used, but also through the meaning implied by each term.

[0067] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model discloses a balcony photovoltaic module with a cover, including: a photovoltaic module 10, a top cover assembly 20, a front cover assembly 30, and a side cover assembly 40. The top cover assembly 20 includes at least two separate clips that interlock and are installed on the upper part of the photovoltaic module 10 to shield the top of the photovoltaic module 10 (e.g., to shield from rainwater and fallen leaves). The front cover assembly 30 is installed on the front of the photovoltaic module 10 to shield the structure between the photovoltaic modules 10 (e.g., to shield the structural connectors and drive motors between the photovoltaic modules 10). The side cover assembly 40 is installed on the side of the photovoltaic module 10 to shield the side of the photovoltaic module 10 (e.g., using a plug-in structure design to match the column structure of the photovoltaic system).

[0068] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, preferably, in one embodiment, the front cover assembly 30 includes a front cover 31 and snap-fit ​​members 32. First limiting hooks 321 are provided at the two extended flange ends of the snap-fit ​​members 32, and the first limiting hooks 321 engage with the frame of the photovoltaic module 10. The two sides of the front cover 31 are fixed to the snap-fit ​​members 32. Hooks 311 are provided on both sides of the front cover 31, and are fixed to the snap-fit ​​members 32 via the hooks 311. Here, the length and number of snap-fit ​​members 32 are not limited, and the front cover 31 is continuous.

[0069] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, preferably, in another embodiment, the front cover assembly 30 includes a front cover 31 and a snap-fit ​​member 32. The snap-fit ​​member 32 is configured as a split structure, including a frame limiting part 322 and an extension part 323. One end of the extension part 323 is connected to the frame limiting part 322, and the other end of the extension part 323 is provided with a second limiting barb 324. The frame limiting part 322 is connected to the frame of the photovoltaic module 10 (for example, the frame limiting part 322 can be configured to engage with the groove of the frame of the photovoltaic module 10). The second limiting barb 324 engages with the hooks 311 on both sides of the front cover 31. For example, the second limiting barb 324 can engage with the hooks 311 on both sides of the front cover 32 to fix the front cover 31 onto the photovoltaic module 10.

[0070] like Figure 5 As shown, the top cover assembly 20 includes an upper clip 21 and a bottom clip 22, which fix the bottom clip 22 to the tube support 11 of the photovoltaic module 10 (e.g., Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the upper clamp 21 is engaged and fixed to the upper end of the bottom clamp 22. For example, the bottom clamp 22 can be positioned and fixed to the tube support 11 by bolts. The tube support 11 is mounted on the rotating shaft 12 of the photovoltaic module 10.

[0071] Preferably, the upper retaining member 21 is provided with a pair of downwardly extending first flange portions 211, and a first snap-fit ​​barb 212 is provided at the end of the first flange portion 211. The first flange portion 211 is preferably located in the middle part of the upper retaining member 21.

[0072] The bottom retainer 22 is provided with a pair of upwardly extending second flange portions 221, and a second snap-fit ​​barb 222 is provided at the end of the second flange portion 221. The first snap-fit ​​barb 212 and the second snap-fit ​​barb 222 snap into each other, thereby fixing the upper retainer 21 to the bottom retainer 22.

[0073] Further, preferably, a limiting platform 223 is provided on the second flange portion 221 of the bottom retainer 22. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the limiting platform 223 is located below the end of the second flange portion 221, and the gap between the limiting platform 223 and the end of the second flange portion 221 matches the height of the first snap-fit ​​hook 212. That is, there is a certain distance between the limiting platform 223 and the end of the second flange portion 221 of the bottom latch 22, which can prevent the upper latch 21 from excessively extending into the bottom latch 22.

[0074] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the balcony photovoltaic module also includes a top cover plate 50, which is fixedly connected to the balcony photovoltaic module's hooks 60 via fasteners (e.g., ...). Figure 8 and Figure 9 (As shown). The top cover 50 can be fixedly connected to the hooks on the balcony photovoltaic system using bolts through the reserved installation space.

[0075] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the pipe support 11 is mounted on the rotating shaft 12 of the photovoltaic module 10, and the top cover assembly 20 is fixed to the pipe support 11 by fasteners (e.g., bolts). The top cover 50 is fixedly connected to the hook 60 of the balcony photovoltaic module. As the rotating shaft 12 rotates, the top cover 50 can expand outward or retract inward to close. This allows the top cover 50 to shield the photovoltaic module 10.

[0076] like Figures 10 to 12 As shown, the side cover assembly 40 includes a left side cover 41 and a right side cover 42. The upper and lower parts of the left side cover 41 and the right side cover 42 are respectively provided with snap-fit ​​slots 43, which are used to snap and fix the photovoltaic module of the balcony. For example, the left side cover 41 and the right side cover 42 have pre-reserved snap-fit ​​slots 43 at their upper and lower positions, which can be snapped and fixed with the mounting bolts of the photovoltaic module of the balcony. The U-shaped rod 70 is fixed by a fastener and a pipe support 11. The rotating shaft 12 passes through the mounting hole on the pipe support 11 and is fixed. The photovoltaic module 10 is then fixed to the rotating shaft 12 by a hook 60.

[0077] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shapes of the left side cover plate 41 and the right side cover plate 42 match the side shape of the balcony photovoltaic module after installation, and their lengths are the same as the column length. This structure can serve to conceal the column connectors.

[0078] This utility model discloses a photovoltaic system, including a balcony photovoltaic module with a cover as described above.

[0079] As described above, this utility model features a balcony photovoltaic module with a cover, paired with a balcony photovoltaic installation structure system. On one hand, it effectively prevents external objects from entering the support structure behind the balcony photovoltaic system, thereby reducing malfunctions caused by foreign objects. On the other hand, the outer cover can shield the drive motor and related mounting connectors on the back of the photovoltaic system, improving the overall aesthetics of the photovoltaic system.

[0080] In summary, the photovoltaic module with a cover for balconies and the photovoltaic system including therein, as described in this utility model, have the following advantages:

[0081] 1. Designed to match the structural components of photovoltaic systems, installation is quick and convenient, with most adopting a snap-on design for simple and easy operation;

[0082] Second, it can prevent foreign objects from entering the rear support structure, reducing system failures caused by external factors;

[0083] Third, the back structure connectors of the photovoltaic system and the drive motor in the middle of the module are shaded to improve the overall aesthetics of the module.
