Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar panel frame technology, specifically to an irregularly shaped frame structure for a solar panel. Background Technology

[0002] The frame structure of solar panels is usually made of aluminum alloy and is rectangular in shape, surrounding the solar panel. Its cross-section is mostly groove-shaped or stepped. The core components of the solar panel, consisting of tempered glass panels, cell laminates, and backsheets, can be embedded in the groove and fixed with silicone sealant. This provides mechanical support for the panel and resists external impacts during transportation, installation, and use.

[0003] For example, the Chinese authorized patent CN207218620U, entitled "A Solar Frame," includes a base and a bracket. The bracket is mounted on the upper part of the base and is configured as a rectangular tubular structure. A top plate is provided on the top of the bracket, and a bolt groove with its opening facing the base is provided at the bottom of the bracket. When the solar frame is assembled and the bracket is connected to the base, bolts can be directly inserted into the bolt groove and then tightened.

[0004] While the existing technologies mentioned above can enable the installation of solar panels, they are not very flexible and cannot be adjusted according to solar panels of different thicknesses. Furthermore, they are prone to glue leakage after application. Therefore, they do not meet current needs. To address this, we propose an irregularly shaped frame structure for solar panels. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an irregularly shaped frame structure for solar panels to solve the problems of poor flexibility of solar panel frames and easy glue leakage after gluing, as mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an irregularly shaped frame structure for a solar panel, comprising a first aluminum profile plate, a second aluminum profile plate disposed on one side of the first aluminum profile plate, a third aluminum profile plate disposed above the other side of the first aluminum profile plate, a fourth aluminum profile plate disposed above the third aluminum profile plate, the first aluminum profile plate, the second aluminum profile plate, and the fourth aluminum profile plate forming a slot, the interior of the slot being provided with a detachable support structure, a sixth aluminum profile plate disposed on one side of the third and fourth aluminum profile plates, a fifth aluminum profile plate disposed at the upper end of one side of the sixth aluminum profile plate, the fourth aluminum profile plate, the fifth aluminum profile plate, and the sixth aluminum profile plate forming an assembly groove, a seventh aluminum profile plate disposed on one side of the bottom of the first aluminum profile plate, and an inclined eighth aluminum profile plate disposed at the bottom of the second aluminum profile plate, with the lower end of the eighth aluminum profile plate connected to the seventh aluminum profile plate.

[0007] Preferably, the first aluminum profile, the second aluminum profile, the third aluminum profile, the fourth aluminum profile, the fifth aluminum profile, the sixth aluminum profile, the seventh aluminum profile, and the eighth aluminum profile are integrally formed.

[0008] Preferably, the support structure includes multiple support plates, and the support plates are slidably limited in relation to the slot.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom and rear wall of the assembly groove are provided with rubber liners, and the rubber liners are respectively bonded and fixed to the fourth aluminum profile plate and the sixth aluminum profile plate.

[0010] Preferably, an anti-overflow adhesive strip is provided on the front side of the upper end of the assembly groove, and the anti-overflow adhesive strip is bonded and fixed to the fifth aluminum profile plate.

[0011] Preferably, a pressure plate is slidably limited at the middle position of the upper end of the assembly groove, and an adjusting nut is rotatably installed at the center position of the upper surface of the fifth aluminum profile. The lower end of the adjusting nut is provided with a screw threadedly connected to the fifth aluminum profile, and the lower end of the screw is connected to the pressure plate through a bearing.

[0012] Preferably, the adjusting nut has an octagonal hole at its center.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This utility model features rubber liners on the bottom and rear wall of the assembly groove, which is composed of a fourth, fifth, and sixth aluminum profile plate. An anti-overflow strip is also provided on the front side of the top of the assembly groove. The rubber liners effectively buffer the impact of external forces on the solar panel during installation, reducing the risk of wear caused by direct contact between the panel and the aluminum profile plate. This also enhances the tightness and stability of the assembly, facilitating precise positioning and rapid assembly by installers. The anti-overflow strip prevents sealant from overflowing during filling, maintaining the neat and aesthetically pleasing appearance of the solar panel frame, reducing subsequent cleaning work, and preventing sealant spillage from contaminating the component surface.

[0015] 2. The upper end of the assembly slot of this utility model is equipped with a pressure plate. After the solar panel is installed in the assembly slot, the user can use a tool to turn the adjusting nut, which drives the screw to rotate. Under the friction of the threads of the fifth aluminum profile plate, the pressure plate moves downward until it makes close contact with the solar panel. This ensures the stable installation of the solar panel and prevents it from shifting due to vibration, external forces, etc. during use. It also avoids damage to the solar panel due to excessive pressure. At the same time, this structure is easy to install and operate, effectively improving installation efficiency. Furthermore, it is convenient to disassemble and maintain later.

[0016] 3. This utility model provides multiple equally spaced support plates inside the hollow groove formed by the first aluminum profile plate, the second aluminum profile plate and the fourth aluminum profile plate. The support plates can be independently disassembled and connected to the hollow groove by plugging. Therefore, an appropriate number of support plates can be selected according to the actual scenario to reinforce the frame structure, effectively improve the overall strength and stability of the frame structure, and reduce the risk of deformation and damage to the solar panel due to external forces.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 An embodiment of this utility model provides: an irregularly shaped frame structure for a solar panel, including a first aluminum profile 1, a second aluminum profile 2 disposed on one side of the first aluminum profile 1, a third aluminum profile 3 disposed above the other side of the first aluminum profile 1, a fourth aluminum profile 4 disposed above the third aluminum profile 3, the first aluminum profile 1, the second aluminum profile 2 and the fourth aluminum profile 4 forming a slot 13, the slot 13 having a detachable support structure inside, a sixth aluminum profile 6 disposed on one side of the third aluminum profile 3 and the fourth aluminum profile 4, a fifth aluminum profile 5 disposed at the upper end of one side of the sixth aluminum profile 6, the fourth aluminum profile 4, the fifth aluminum profile 5 and the sixth aluminum profile 6 forming an assembly groove 7, a seventh aluminum profile 11 disposed on one side of the bottom of the first aluminum profile 1, an eighth aluminum profile 12 disposed at an inclined position at the bottom of the second aluminum profile 2, and the lower end of the eighth aluminum profile 12 being fixedly connected to the seventh aluminum profile 11;

[0024] By combining and connecting various aluminum profiles, a uniquely shaped frame with different functional areas is constructed, providing a basic structure for subsequent component installation and solar panel protection. Clearly defined areas include empty slots and assembly slots. The empty slots can be used to install support structures to enhance frame stability, while the assembly slots are used to fix the solar panels. This rational layout allows the frame to better adapt to the installation and usage requirements of the solar panels.

[0025] Furthermore, the first aluminum profile 1, the second aluminum profile 2, the third aluminum profile 3, the fourth aluminum profile 4, the fifth aluminum profile 5, the sixth aluminum profile 6, the seventh aluminum profile 11, and the eighth aluminum profile 12 are integrally formed. This integral forming ensures the integrity and continuity of the frame structure, greatly improves the strength and rigidity of the frame, and reduces safety hazards caused by loosening or deformation at the splicing points.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 The support structure includes multiple support plates 14, which are slidably positioned within the slots 13. The support plates 14 are inserted into the slots 13 via this sliding positioning mechanism. When reinforcement of the frame is required, the support plates 14 are slid in along the positioning track of the slots 13, and their positions are fixed using the positioning structure. If no reinforcement is needed or adjustment is required, the support plates 14 can be slid out in the opposite direction. This flexible, detachable support structure allows for the adjustment of the number of support plates according to the different load-bearing and stress requirements of the solar panels in various application scenarios, enabling customized reinforcement and improving the frame's adaptability to complex environments.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The bottom and rear wall of the assembly groove 7 are provided with rubber liners 8, and the rubber liners 8 are respectively bonded and fixed to the fourth aluminum profile 4 and the sixth aluminum profile 6. When assembling the solar panel, the solar panel is embedded in the assembly groove 7. The rubber liners 8, by their own elastic deformation, tightly fit the surface of the solar panel, fill the gap between the solar panel and the aluminum profile, and play a buffering and sealing role.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 An anti-overflow strip 9 is provided on the front side of the upper end of the assembly groove 7, and the anti-overflow strip 9 is bonded and fixed to the fifth aluminum profile plate 5. When the solar panel is fixed by filling the assembly groove 7 with sealant, the anti-overflow strip 9 prevents the sealant from overflowing to the front side. When the sealant is filled to a certain height and comes into contact with the anti-overflow strip, it is blocked and changes its flow direction, filling evenly in the assembly groove. Excess sealant will be confined inside the assembly groove.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4A pressure plate 15 is slidably limited at the middle position of the upper end of the assembly groove 7. An adjusting nut 10 is rotatably installed at the center position of the upper end face of the fifth aluminum plate 5. The lower end of the adjusting nut 10 is provided with a screw 16 that is threadedly connected to the fifth aluminum plate 5, and the lower end of the screw 16 is connected to the pressure plate 15 through a bearing. An octagonal hole is provided at the center position of the adjusting nut 10.

[0030] Insert a tool into the octagonal hole of the adjusting nut 10 and rotate it. The rotation of the adjusting nut 10 causes the screw 16 to move up and down in the threaded engagement with the fifth aluminum profile 5. The screw 16 drives the pressure plate 15 to slide up and down along the limiting track at the upper end of the assembly groove 7 through the bearing. When the pressure plate 15 moves down to make close contact with the solar panel, the solar panel is secured. Rotating the adjusting nut 10 in the opposite direction will loosen the pressure plate 15. This structure can achieve precise and flexible fastening of the solar panel. Installers can control the pressure of the pressure plate by rotating the adjusting nut according to actual needs, which can ensure the stable installation of the solar panel and prevent displacement due to vibration or external force during use.

[0031] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
