Figure 1 The projection relationship of the photovoltaic panel frame with a gap cover is consistent in the up, down, left, right and front directions. The present invention includes a side plate profile 12, a middle profile 16 in the middle of the side plate profile 12, and a base plate 11 fixedly installed on the rear side of the middle profile 16 and the side plate profile 12. The side plate profile 12 is divided into vertical and horizontal parts. After the side plate profile 12 and the base plate 11 are fixedly connected, a square frame is formed. The base plate 11 extends out of one side of the side plate profile 12, and the exposed part of the base plate 11 is fixedly installed with a photovoltaic panel.

[0028] Advantageously, the base plate 11 includes a first fixing plate disposed on the upper and lower sides and horizontally arranged. The first fixing plate is fixedly connected to the side plate profile 12 and the middle profile 16, so as to connect and fix the segmented side plate profile 12 by means of the horizontally arranged first fixing plate.

[0029] Advantageously, the base plate 11 also includes a second fixing plate disposed on the left and right sides and placed vertically, the second fixing plate being fixedly connected to the rear side of the intermediate profile 16 and the rear side of the vertically disposed side plate profile 12.

[0030] Advantageously, the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate are fixedly connected to the side plate profile 12 and the intermediate profile 16 by bolts 14 and locking nuts 22. Specifically, through holes are provided in the bottom plate 11, the side plate profile 12 and the intermediate profile 16, and bolts 14 are passed through the through holes and then locking nuts 22 are provided on the bolts 14 to connect and fix the bottom plate 11, the side plate profile 12 and the intermediate profile 16.

[0031] Advantageously, the photovoltaic panel includes a photovoltaic panel profile 31, a photovoltaic panel 32 is fixedly disposed inside the photovoltaic panel profile 31, a T-shaped groove 33 is disposed inside the photovoltaic panel profile 31, and a gap cover is disposed between the photovoltaic panel profile 31 and the side panel profile 12 and the middle profile 16.

[0032] Advantageously, the exposed portion of the base plate 11 is provided with multiple mounting holes 15. When the photovoltaic panel profile 31 is fixedly installed on one side of the base plate 11, a T-bolt is provided in the T-slot 33. The threaded part of the T-bolt passes through the mounting hole 15, and then the threaded part is threadedly connected to the nut and abutted against and fixed on one side of the base plate 11, so as to connect and fix the photovoltaic panel profile 31 to the base plate 11.

[0033] Advantageously, the gap cover includes a cover plate 13, a plug plate 36 is fixedly provided on one side of the cover plate 13, and a plurality of locking blocks 35 are fixedly provided on one side of the plug plate 36. The locking blocks 35 are triangular in shape and the pointed corners are set to the left.

[0034] Advantageously, the outer surfaces of the side panel profile 12 and the photovoltaic panel profile 31 are provided with multiple slots 34 that are identical in shape to the locking block 35. When the photovoltaic panel profile 31 is fixedly installed on one side of the base plate 11, the plug plate 36 is inserted between the side panel profile 12 and the photovoltaic panel profile 31, so that the locking block 35 is locked in the slot 34, preventing the gap cover from falling off and ensuring the gap is sealed. The cover plate 13 just covers the gap between the photovoltaic panel profile 31 and the side panel profile 12. The plug plate 36 and the locking block 35 are used to fill the gap between the side panel profile 12 and the photovoltaic panel profile 31, so that the side panel profile 12 and the photovoltaic panel profile 31 are stably connected.

[0035] Advantageously, it also includes a foot support 41, which has an L-shaped structure and is connected and fixed to the base plate 11 to tilt the photovoltaic frame.

[0037] The photovoltaic panel frame has a gap cover structure between the photovoltaic panel and the side panel profile 12 and the middle profile 16. This fills the gap and shields the gap, improving the stability of the photovoltaic panel installed in the side panel profile 12 and the middle profile 16, and also preventing debris from entering the gap.

[0038] The installation process for this framework is as follows:

[0039] The first step is to install and fix the base plate 11, side plate profile 12 and intermediate profile 16 to form a frame structure. The first fixing plate fixes the base plate 11, side plate profile 12 and intermediate profile 16, and the second fixing plate fixes the side plate profile 12 and intermediate profile 16, so that the base plate 11 extends out of one side of the side plate profile 12 and intermediate profile 16. The fixing method is to use bolts 14 and lock nuts 22 for connection and fixation.

[0040] The second step is to install and fix the photovoltaic panel frame on the base plate 11 using T-bolts and nuts.

[0041] The third step is to insert the gap cover into the gap between the photovoltaic panel profile 31 and the side panel profile 12 and the middle profile 16. When the clip 35 and the plug plate 36 are plugged in, the clip 35 is provided with an inclined surface, which makes the plugging easier and allows the clip 35 to be fixed with the slot 34 so as to fill the gap with the gap cover and cover the gap with the cover plate 13.

[0042] The fourth step is to install a fixed support 41 on the rear side of the base plate 11 so that the photovoltaic frame is located on the long side of the support 41, and the support 41 makes it easy to tilt the photovoltaic frame.

[0043] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions conceived without creative effort should be included within the protection scope of this utility model; therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
