Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of photovoltaic module technology, and in particular relates to a corner riveting mechanism and a frame riveting machine for photovoltaic modules without an A-side frame. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, there is a type of photovoltaic module whose frame only has a vertical panel that covers the side of the photovoltaic module and a bottom support panel that supports the bottom of the photovoltaic module. Compared with the original aluminum frame, the upper panel that presses against the edge of the photovoltaic module has been removed. This type of frame is referred to in the industry as the A-side-less frame.
[0003] Frameless photovoltaic modules are typically assembled using a frame riveting machine. During assembly, the four sides are first assembled to form a frame structure, and then the photovoltaic modules are placed directly on top. The four sides are connected at the corners using corner brackets. After the photovoltaic modules are placed on top, the corner brackets are riveted to the sides to achieve a tight connection of the entire frame. In the specific assembly process, the frame riveting machine needs to be equipped with a straightening component to straighten the photovoltaic modules before assembly. After straightening, the corner brackets are riveted to the sides at the corners. However, the existing straightening and riveting components are separate structures, which results in the frame riveting machine occupying a large space. Utility Model Content
