[0037] Example 1

[0038] Against the backdrop of a global energy structure accelerating its transition to cleaner energy, the photovoltaic industry is ushering in unprecedented development opportunities. The rapid expansion of ground-mounted power plants signifies that photovoltaic energy is shifting from a supplementary energy source to a primary energy source. This rapid development places higher demands on photovoltaic module installation technology. Currently, the industry commonly uses two installation methods: bolts and clamps, each with its advantages and disadvantages. Bolt installation, which secures modules by connecting them through frame holes, brackets, and washers, offers a robust structure particularly suitable for high wind pressure environments, but it is difficult to operate in confined spaces and has lower installation efficiency. While using aluminum alloy clamps to fix adjacent modules is convenient and suitable for batch operations, it carries the risk of back pressure loosening, and its reliability for long-term outdoor operation needs improvement.

[0039] Faced with the dilemma of balancing efficiency and reliability in existing installation technologies, the industry urgently needs an innovative photovoltaic module installation solution that can achieve both rapid installation and stable reliability.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1-5This embodiment provides a frame fixing device 100 and a photovoltaic module. The photovoltaic module includes a frame 101 and a frame fixing device 100, and the frame 101 is fixedly installed by the frame fixing device 100. This photovoltaic module can effectively improve the technical problems mentioned above, and can stably and quickly realize the installation of the frame 101, meeting the needs of rapid installation while improving work efficiency.

[0041] The frame fixing device 100 includes a first mounting plate 10 and a second mounting plate 20. The first mounting plate 10 is used to connect with the pressure block, and the second mounting plate 20 is connected to the first mounting plate 10 and is used to connect with the frame 101.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first mounting plate 10 includes a first portion 11 and a second portion 12, which are detachably connected and arranged vertically. The second portion 12 is connected to the second mounting plate 20. The first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 are vertically arranged, and the second portion 12 of the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 are fixedly connected. The frame fixing device 100 has a split structure and is located entirely between the pressure block and the frame 101.

[0043] It should be noted that the first part 11 and the second part 12 are engaged. The bottom end of the first part 11 has a sliding portion 114, and the top end of the second part 12 has a sliding groove 121. The sliding portion 114 is disposed within the sliding groove 121, thereby achieving the engagement of the first part 11 and the second part 12. Of course, in other embodiments, the bottom end of the first part 11 may have a sliding groove 121, and the top end of the second part 12 may have a sliding portion 114; no specific limitation is made here.

[0044] In this embodiment, the sliding part 114 protrudes outward and has a trapezoidal structure. The shape of the groove 121 is adapted to the shape of the sliding part 114. Both the first part 11 and the second part 12 are flat plate 22 structures. The sliding part 114 is arranged along the length direction of the first part 11, and the groove 121 is arranged along the length direction of the second part 12.

[0045] It should also be noted that the first part 11 and the second part 12 achieve clearance fit through the sliding part 114 and the sliding groove 121. When the downward pressure of the pressure block is transmitted through the frame fixing device 100 of the split structure, the clearance fit allows the load to be directly applied to the frame 101, thereby improving the load strength.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first part 11 includes a first plate 111 and a second plate 112. The first plate 111 is arranged vertically, and its bottom end is engaged with the second part 12. The second plate 112 is arranged horizontally, and its top end is connected to the first plate 111. The first plate 111 and the second plate 112 are arranged perpendicularly. The second plate 112 is parallel to the second mounting plate 20. The bottom surface of the second plate 112 can abut against the top surface of the frame 101, thereby achieving a limiting position.

[0047] Specifically, to improve installation stability, the surface of the second plate 112 is provided with anti-slip textures 113. The anti-slip textures 113 are provided on both the top and bottom surfaces of the second plate 112, and the anti-slip textures 113 are arranged along the length of the second plate 112.

[0048] Furthermore, the second mounting plate 20 is provided with a baffle 30, which is perpendicular to the second mounting plate 20. The baffle 30 and the second mounting plate 20 are used together to limit the frame 101. The baffle 30 and the second part 12 of the first mounting plate 10 are arranged parallel to each other. The second part 12, the baffle 30, and the top surface of the second mounting plate 20 can jointly accommodate and limit the frame 101, thereby preventing the component back pressure block from loosening. The second mounting plate 20 is provided with a mounting hole 60, which is located on the side of the baffle 30 away from the first mounting plate 10. A bolt is installed in the mounting hole 60, allowing for detachable installation.

[0049] Furthermore, the number of mounting holes 60 can be one or more. No specific limitation is made here.

[0050] The frame fixing device 100 provided in this embodiment has at least the following advantages:

[0051] In this embodiment, the second part 12 of the first mounting plate 10, the baffle 30, and the top surface of the second mounting plate 20 of the frame fixing device 100 can jointly accommodate and limit the frame 101, thereby preventing the component back pressure block from loosening. Therefore, the number of machining holes and some structures on the frame 101 can be reduced, thereby simplifying the structure of the frame 101, reducing weight, and thus reducing component cost.

[0052] In summary, this utility model embodiment provides a frame fixing device 100 and a photovoltaic module. The frame fixing device 100 includes a first mounting plate 10 and a second mounting plate 20. The first mounting plate 10 is used to connect with a pressure block, and the second mounting plate 20 is connected to the first mounting plate 10 and used to connect with a frame 101. In use, the second mounting plate 20 is connected to the frame 101, and the first mounting plate 10 is connected to the pressure block. The pressure block is connected to the frame 101 through the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20. The structure is simple, can meet the needs of rapid installation, and improves work efficiency.

[0053] The photovoltaic module includes a frame 101 and a frame fixing device 100, which are connected together. In use, a second mounting plate 20 is connected to the frame 101, and a first mounting plate 10 is connected to a pressure block. The pressure block is connected to the frame 101 through the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20. The structure is simple, meets the needs of rapid installation, and improves work efficiency.

[0054] Example 2

[0055] Please refer to Figures 6-9 This embodiment provides a frame fixing device 100 including a first mounting plate 10 and a second mounting plate 20. The second mounting plate 20 is connected to the first mounting plate 10, and both the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 are used to connect to the frame 101.

[0056] In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the second mounting plate 20 near the side of the second mounting plate 20 is provided with a slope 211, which is used to cooperate with the bottom of the frame 101. Specifically, the second mounting plate 20 includes a flat plate 22 and a slope 21 connected to each other. The slope 21 is connected to the bottom of the first mounting plate 10, and the slope 211 is disposed at the bottom of the slope 21.

[0057] It should be noted that a sliding surface 102 is provided at the corresponding position on the frame 101. The sliding surface 102 is inclined and cooperates with the inclined surface 211 to realize the assembly of the frame fixing device 100 and the frame 101.

[0058] It should also be noted that the end of the inclined surface 211 is provided with a fixing groove 40, which is used to engage with the protrusion 104 at the bottom of the frame 101. Understandably, the inclined surface 211 and the sliding surface 102 are slidably engaged. When the inclined surface 211 slides into place, the protrusion 104 at the bottom of the frame 101 can be engaged in the fixing groove 40, thereby achieving a locking and fixing.

[0059] Specifically, the fixing groove 40 is located at the bottom of the inclined plate 21.

[0060] In this embodiment, the opening of the fixing groove 40 is set downward so as to cooperate with the protrusion 104 at the bottom of the frame 101.

[0061] It should also be noted that the top of the first mounting plate 10 is provided with a thinning part 13, which is used to engage with the barb 103 of the frame 101.

[0062] Furthermore, the second mounting plate 20 is provided with mounting holes 60, which are mounted on the flat plate 22 of the second mounting plate 20. Bolts are provided in the mounting holes 60, and detachable installation is achieved by means of bolts.

[0063] Furthermore, the number of mounting holes 60 can be one or more. No specific limitation is made here.

[0064] During assembly, the thinned portion 13 at the top of the first mounting plate 10 is first inserted into the barb 103 of the frame 101, and then the inclined surface 211 is slid along the sliding surface 102 until the fixing groove 40 and the protrusion 104 of the frame 101 are engaged, thereby realizing the assembly of the frame fixing device 100 and the frame 101.

[0065] The frame fixing device 100 provided in this embodiment can directly fix the frame 101 through a self-locking mechanism, eliminating the reliance on pressure blocks and improving structural reliability. Overall installation is simple, reducing construction difficulty.

[0066] Of course, the frame fixing device 100 can also be assembled with the frame 101 and the pressure block to jointly fix the photovoltaic module and prevent the frame 101 from deforming or sliding. When it is not necessary to cooperate with the pressure block, the frame fixing device 100 fixes the frame 101 to the bracket with bolts. The frame fixing device 100 bears the external forces generated in multiple directions at the same time, ensuring that the whole does not fall off or deform.

[0067] Example 3

[0068] Please refer to Figure 10 This embodiment provides a frame fixing device 100 including a first mounting plate 10 and a second mounting plate 20. The first mounting plate 10 is used to connect with the pressure block, and the second mounting plate 20 is connected to the first mounting plate 10 and is used to connect with the frame 101.

[0069] In this embodiment, the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 are vertically arranged and fixedly connected. Both the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 are provided with mounting holes 60, wherein the diameter of the mounting holes 60 in the first mounting plate 10 is different from the diameter of the mounting holes 60 in the second mounting plate 20. Bolts are installed in the mounting holes 60 to fix the frame 101. The mounting holes 60 of the first mounting plate 10 can be connected to the frame 101 by bolts, and the mounting holes 60 of the second mounting plate 20 can be connected to a bracket by bolts.
