[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic module technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic module frame. Background Technology

[0002] The frame of a photovoltaic module is a structural material used to fix, seal, and protect the photovoltaic module. It is an important component of the photovoltaic module and its main functions include enhancing the strength of the module, protecting the internal structure, improving weather resistance, extending service life, and facilitating transportation and installation.

[0003] The cavity of existing photovoltaic modules is formed by vertical and horizontal plates. The cavity formed by this structure is not strong, especially the bottom is prone to deformation after being subjected to external force. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model solves the problems in related technologies and proposes a photovoltaic module frame. A reinforcing rib is formed on the second horizontal plate of the frame away from the slot. The reinforcing rib is recessed into the cavity, which can enhance the strength of the bottom of the frame and reduce the possibility of deformation after the photovoltaic module is installed.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a photovoltaic module frame, including a frame body, the frame body including a slot and a cavity, the cavity being surrounded by a first vertical plate, a second vertical plate, a first horizontal plate and a second horizontal plate, and a reinforcing rib being formed on the second horizontal plate away from the slot.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the second horizontal plate and the second vertical plate are directly connected to the starting head.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: a reinforcing rib is formed on the second horizontal plate of the frame away from the slot, and the reinforcing rib is concave towards the inside of the cavity, which can enhance the strength of the bottom of the frame and reduce the possibility of deformation after the photovoltaic module is installed; the slot is a U-shaped slot with an opening width smaller than the bottom edge width, so the photovoltaic module can be prevented from falling off after being installed in the slot; the beginning of the frame body is on the side away from the slot, and this beginning method makes the sealing of the entire frame better.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present utility model or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0017] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0018] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of this invention. It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0019] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. The directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself.

[0020] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0021] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a photovoltaic module frame includes a frame body, which includes a slot 1 and a cavity 2. The cavity 2 is surrounded by a first vertical plate 21, a second vertical plate 22, a first horizontal plate 23, and a second horizontal plate 24. A reinforcing rib 25 is formed on the second horizontal plate 24 away from the slot 1. The reinforcing rib 25 is recessed towards the inside of the cavity 2, which can enhance the strength of the bottom of the frame.

[0024] In one embodiment, the slot 1 is a U-shaped slot with an opening width smaller than the bottom edge width, which can prevent the photovoltaic module from falling off after it is installed in the slot 1.

[0025] In one embodiment, the top surface of the slot 1 is provided with anti-slip teeth 3, which can play an anti-slip role.

[0026] In one embodiment, the starting head 4 of the frame body is on the side away from the slot 1 and has an interlocking U-shaped structure, which makes the sealing of the entire frame better.

[0027] In one embodiment, the second horizontal plate 24 and the second vertical plate 22 are extended to form an extension plate 5 as needed, with the starting head 4 located at the starting end of the extension plate 5.

[0029] Unlike Example 1, in this example, as Figure 2 As shown, according to actual needs, the second horizontal plate 24 and the second vertical plate 22 are directly connected to the starting head 4.

[0030] The above are preferred embodiments of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Any obvious improvements, substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
