Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic module packaging equipment technology, specifically to a photovoltaic module framing machine with a frameless A-side frame assembly fixture. Background Technology

[0002] A photovoltaic module framing machine adds a special aluminum alloy frame to the outside of the assembled photovoltaic module, and injects silicone into the aluminum alloy frame and the encapsulated cavity of the photovoltaic module until the photovoltaic module is fixedly clamped inside the aluminum alloy frame.

[0003] The photovoltaic (PV) frame is a crucial auxiliary material for PV modules, primarily used to protect the edges of the PV glass, enhance the module's sealing performance, and improve its mechanical strength. The frame typically includes an A-side, a B-side, and a C-side. The A-side of the frame is higher than the top of the laminate. After long-term outdoor operation, dust is trapped on the A-side and accumulates on the laminate surface, unable to be washed away by rainwater. This dust accumulation reduces the module's power generation and can even pose a risk of hot spots. To prevent dust accumulation, a design with no A-side is usually adopted on the shorter side, while the longer side of the frame retains the A-side.

[0004] When framing a conventional photovoltaic module, the frame is usually installed with side A facing down. However, when framing modules with and without side A frames and laminates, there is a height difference between side B with and without side A frames. As a result, the cavity with side A frames cannot be aligned with the corner brackets without side A frames, which prevents the photovoltaic modules from being properly encapsulated. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a frame assembly machine for photovoltaic modules without an A-side frame fixture, in order to solve the problem in the conventional frame assembly machine of the prior art that when assembling frames with and without an A-side frame and laminates, the corner codes cannot be aligned due to the height difference between the B-side without an A-side frame and the B-side with an A-side frame, thus causing the photovoltaic modules to fail to be properly encapsulated.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a frame assembly fixture without an A-side border, comprising:

[0007] First support plate;

[0008] The first side plate is perpendicularly connected to the first support plate; and

[0009] An elevated portion is disposed on the first support plate adjacent to the first side plate, and the top of the elevated portion is higher than the upper surface of the first support plate.

[0010] In some embodiments, the width of the top of the raised portion is b, and the A-side border includes a border body and an extension portion extending along the length direction of the border body and extending upward from the outer edge of the upper surface of the border body, the width of the extension portion being a, where a≥b.

[0011] In some embodiments, the raised portion is a raised plate, which is integrally formed with the first support plate.

[0012] In some embodiments, a groove is provided on the upper surface of the first support plate;

[0013] The frame fixture without A-side frame also includes a base plate connected to the raised part, and the base plate can be detachably installed in the sink.

[0014] In some embodiments, the raised portion is arranged continuously along the length of the first support plate.

[0015] In some embodiments, the raised portion is distributed intermittently in a straight line along the length of the first support plate.

[0016] In some embodiments, the first support plate has at least two countersunk holes, which are located at opposite ends of the raised portion.

[0017] A photovoltaic module framing machine includes a frame jig with an A-side frame and a frame jig without an A-side frame. The frame jig with an A-side frame includes a second support plate and a second side plate perpendicularly connected to the second support plate. The upper surface of the second support plate is flush with the upper surface of the first support plate.

[0018] This utility model also protects a photovoltaic module, including the photovoltaic module frame as described above.

[0019] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0020] 1. The frame assembly of this utility model without an A-side frame is provided with a raised part at the position of the first support plate near the first side plate. The top of the raised part is higher than the upper surface of the first support plate. When the frame assembly machine is used to encapsulate the frame without an A-side frame, the frame with an A-side frame and the laminate, the raised part can make up for the height difference between the B-side of the frame without an A-side frame and the B-side of the frame with an A-side frame, thus completing the encapsulation of the photovoltaic module.

[0021] 2. The photovoltaic module framing machine of this utility model has a raised part in the frame assembly fixture without A-side frame. The raised part can make up for the height difference between the B-side without A-side frame and the B-side with A-side frame. Thus, the framing machine can be used for framing with A-side frame and frame with A-side frame, framing without A-side frame and frame without A-side frame and frame with A-side frame, and framing without A-side frame and frame with A-side frame, thus expanding the application range of the framing machine. At the same time, by installing or removing the raised part, the product production line can be quickly changed. Attached Figure Description

[0034] Example 1

[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a frame assembly fixture without an A-side frame, including a first support plate 11, a first side plate 12 perpendicularly connected to the first support plate 11, and a raised part 13. The raised part 13 is disposed on the first support plate 11 adjacent to the first side plate 12, and the top of the raised part 13 is higher than the upper surface 110 of the first support plate 11.

[0036] The frame assembly of this utility model without an A-side frame is provided with a raised part 13 at the position of the first support plate 11 near the first side plate 12. The top of the raised part 13 is higher than the upper surface 110 of the first support plate 11. When the frame assembly machine is used to encapsulate the frameless A-side frame 3, the frame with an A-side frame 4 and the laminate 5, the raised part 13 can make up for the height difference between the B-side 33 of the frameless A-side frame 3 and the B-side 43 of the frame with an A-side frame 4, thus completing the encapsulation of the photovoltaic module.

[0037] In some embodiments, the width of the top of the raised portion 13 is b. The frameless A-side 3 includes a frame body 31 and an extension portion 32 extending along the length direction of the frame body 31 and extending upward from the outer edge of the upper surface of the frame body 31. The width of the extension portion 32 is a. During the photovoltaic module encapsulation process, the raised portion 13 is supported under the extension portion 32 of the frameless A-side 3. To prevent the laminate 5 from touching the raised portion 13 and causing it to explode during the encapsulation process, the width of the extension portion 32 is not greater than the width of the second plate 122, i.e., a≥b.

[0038] In some embodiments, the raised portion 13 is integrally formed with the first support plate 11.

[0039] In some embodiments, the upper surface of the first support plate 11 is provided with a recess 112, and the frame fixture without A-side frame also includes a base plate 14 connected to the raised part 13, and the base plate 14 is fixed in the recess 112 by bolts.

[0040] In some embodiments, the raised portion 13 is arranged continuously along the length of the first support plate 11.

[0041] In some embodiments, the raised portion 13 is distributed intermittently in a straight line along the length of the first support plate 11.
