Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic product transportation packaging technology, specifically to a transportation packaging structure for photovoltaic modules. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, photovoltaic (PV) modules are generally transported using standard truck containers. After packaging, PV modules need to be transferred to the standard truck containers using forklifts. However, as PV modules become larger and thinner, the height of the standard truck container doors limits the passage of vertically packaged PV modules. Therefore, large-sized PV modules must be packaged horizontally to ensure they can be transferred to the standard truck container by forklift. Consequently, multiple PV modules within the standard truck container can only be arranged horizontally. This arrangement results in a smaller number of large-sized PV modules that can be loaded into the standard truck container, and also creates unused space within the container, leading to wasted space and low transportation efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention provides a transport packaging structure for photovoltaic modules to increase the number of large-size photovoltaic modules that can be loaded into a standard vehicle container, thereby improving space utilization and transport efficiency.

[0004] A transport packaging structure for photovoltaic modules, comprising: Packaging boxes for vertical packaging of photovoltaic modules, including removable top cover, side panels and bottom plate; The pallet assembly includes a base, support blocks, and pads. The top surface of the base is connected to the bottom plate. Three support blocks are arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart on the bottom surface of the bottom plate, with clearance spaces between adjacent support blocks. The three pads are detachably installed with the support blocks to adjust the height of the transport packaging structure.

[0005] Optionally, the support block has a groove on the side opposite to the base, and the pad has a slide rail that matches the shape of the groove.

[0006] Optionally, the slide rail includes an inner groove and an outer groove that are connected to each other, the cross-sectional dimension of the inner groove is larger than the cross-sectional dimension of the outer groove, and the cross-sectional shape of the slide rail matches the cross-sectional shapes of the inner groove and the outer groove.

[0007] Optionally, packing guide grooves are provided on the opposite two end faces of the base.

[0008] Optionally, when the pad and the support are installed together, the clearance space is larger than the size of the forklift arm in the height direction.

[0009] Optionally, the enclosure includes four flat panels connected together, and the enclosure includes a folded state and a packed state.

[0010] Optionally, in the folded state, two of the four flat plates opposite each other are folded inward, and the other two opposite flat plates are translated in a direction that brings them closer to each other; in the packed state, the included angle between two adjacent flat plates is a right angle.

[0011] Optionally, the size of the top cover matches the size of the top opening of the enclosure when it is in the packaged state.

[0012] Optionally, the base plate is provided with upwardly extending walls on its four sides, the walls being used to wrap the bottom of the photovoltaic module, and the bottom of the base plate overlapping and splicing with the walls.

[0013] Optionally, the transport packaging structure further includes: The first packing strap is used to secure the packaging box; The second packing strap is used to bundle the photovoltaic module.

[0014] Beneficial effects: 1. The photovoltaic module transport packaging structure of this utility model includes: a packaging box and a pallet assembly.

[0015] Packaging boxes for vertical packaging of photovoltaic modules, including removable top cover, side panels and bottom plate; The pallet assembly includes a base, support blocks, and pads. The top surface of the base is connected to the bottom plate. Three support blocks are arranged parallel and spaced apart on the bottom surface of the bottom plate, with clearance between adjacent support blocks. The three pads are detachable from the support blocks and can be installed to adjust the height of the transport packaging structure.

[0016] Packaging boxes can be used for vertical packaging of photovoltaic modules. First, the photovoltaic modules are placed on a base plate, then the top cover is installed on the side panels. The side panels, after the top cover is installed, are then fitted onto the photovoltaic modules and aligned with the base plate, thus completing the packaging. Pallet assemblies are used to support the packaging boxes. During packaging, the pallet assembly supports the boxes on the ground. After loading into a standard truck container, the pallet assembly supports the boxes on the bottom surface of the container. Before and after forklift transfer, due to the thickness and minimum ground clearance requirements of the forklift arms, pallet piers and pallets are needed to increase the clearance height, allowing the forklift arms to extend into the clearance space and lift the base, or to lower the forklift arms to separate from the base and withdraw from the clearance space. During the forklift transfer of the packaging boxes to the standard truck container, the pallets can be removed from the pallets first, reducing the height of the transport packaging structure, allowing it to pass through the container doors. After passage, the pallets are then installed back on the pallets, and the forklift places the transport packaging structure in the appropriate location. Therefore, vertical packaging of photovoltaic modules through packaging boxes enables vertical storage. The detachable connection of pads and piers facilitates passage through the doors of standard vehicle containers, allowing for vertical storage within the containers. Compared to horizontal storage, vertical storage increases the number of photovoltaic modules that can be transported, improves the space utilization of standard vehicle containers, and enhances transfer efficiency.

[0017] 2. The photovoltaic module transport packaging structure of this utility model has a sliding groove on the side of the support block away from the base, and a sliding rail on the pad plate that matches the shape of the sliding groove. During installation, the sliding rail on the pad plate can slide into the sliding groove on the support block; during disassembly, the sliding rail on the pad plate can slide out from the sliding groove on the support block. This enables quick installation and disassembly, shortens the transportation time, and improves the efficiency of loading photovoltaic modules.

[0018] 3. The photovoltaic module transport packaging structure of this utility model includes a chute comprising an inner chute and an outer chute that are connected. The cross-sectional dimension of the inner chute is larger than that of the outer chute, and the cross-sectional shape of the slide rail matches the cross-sectional shapes of the inner and outer chute. This design ensures that the chute and slide rail can only be disassembled by sliding horizontally, preventing the pad from falling off the support under gravity during transport.

[0019] 4. The photovoltaic module transport packaging structure of this utility model has strapping guide grooves provided on the opposite two end faces of the base. The strapping guide grooves can facilitate the winding position of the strapping and also limit the strapping to prevent it from loosening.

[0020] 5. In the photovoltaic module transport packaging structure of this utility model, when the pad and the support are installed together, the clearance space in the height direction is larger than the size of the forklift arm. This facilitates the forklift arm to extend into and out of the clearance space.

[0021] 6. The photovoltaic module transport packaging structure of this utility model includes four flat panels connected together in a surrounding manner. The panels have a folded state and a packed state. The packed state is used to package the photovoltaic modules, and the folded state is used for storage before packaging the photovoltaic modules, which can reduce the space occupied for storage.

[0022] 7. In the photovoltaic module transport packaging structure of this utility model, in the folded state, two opposite flat panels of the four panels fold inward, while the other two opposite flat panels slide towards each other. This arrangement allows for planar folding and storage of the enclosure, reducing the space occupied. In the packaged state, the included angle between any two adjacent flat panels is a right angle. This arrangement can adapt to the shape of the photovoltaic module. Furthermore, the above folding method allows for quick conversion between the folded and packaged states, shortening packaging time.

[0023] 8. In the photovoltaic module transport packaging structure of this utility model, the size of the top cover matches the size of the top opening of the surrounding panel when it is in the packaged state. This facilitates the insertion of the top cover into the top opening of the surrounding panel and its fit against the top of the photovoltaic module, preventing the photovoltaic module from shaking.

[0024] 9. The photovoltaic module transport packaging structure of this utility model has upwardly extending walls on all four sides of the base plate. These walls are used to wrap the bottom of the photovoltaic module, and the bottom of the walls overlaps with the base plate. The walls prevent relative displacement between the photovoltaic module and the base plate, and the overlapping splicing method improves the stability of the connection between the walls and the base plate.

[0025] 10. The photovoltaic module transport packaging structure of this utility model further includes: a first strapping strap and a second strapping strap. The first strapping strap is used to secure the packaging box. The second strapping strap is used to secure the photovoltaic modules. The first strapping strap can improve the stability of the packaging box, and the second strapping strap can improve the stability of the stacked photovoltaic modules, thereby improving the overall stability of the transport packaging structure.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a transport packaging structure for a photovoltaic module 3, including: a packaging box and a pallet assembly.

[0031] A packaging box for vertically packaging photovoltaic modules 3, including a removable top cover 11, a side panel 12, and a bottom plate 13; The pallet assembly includes a base 21, support blocks 22, and pads 23. The top surface of the base 21 is connected to the bottom plate 13. The three support blocks 22 are arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart on the bottom surface of the bottom plate 13. A clearance space is formed between two adjacent support blocks 22. The three pads 23 are detachably installed with the support blocks 22 to adjust the height of the transport packaging structure.

[0032] The packaging box can be used for vertical packaging of photovoltaic modules 3. First, the photovoltaic modules 3 are placed on the base plate 13, then the top cover 11 is installed on the side plate 12. After the top cover 11 is installed, the side plate 12 is fitted onto the photovoltaic modules 3 and connected to the base plate 13, thus completing the packaging. The pallet assembly is used to support the packaging box. During the packaging process, the pallet assembly supports the packaging box on the ground. After loading into a standard vehicle container, the pallet assembly supports the packaging box on the bottom surface of the standard vehicle container. Before and after forklift transfer, because the forklift arm has a certain thickness and minimum ground clearance requirement, the pallet pier 22 and the pad 23 need to be connected to increase the height of the clearance space. The clearance space serves as a forklift hole, allowing the forklift arm to extend into the clearance space and lift the base 21, or to allow the forklift arm to move down and separate from the base 21 and withdraw from the clearance space. During the process of a forklift transferring a packaged box to a standard container truck, the pallet 23 can be removed from the support 22 first, reducing the height of the transport packaging structure so that it can pass through the container door. After passing through, the pallet 23 is then installed back onto the support 22, and the forklift places the transport packaging structure in its designated position. Thus, the photovoltaic modules 3 can be vertically packaged and stored. The detachable connection between the pallet 23 and the support 22 facilitates passage through the container door, enabling vertical storage within the container. Compared to horizontal storage, vertical storage increases the number of photovoltaic modules 3 that can be transported, improves the space utilization of the standard container, and increases transfer efficiency.

[0033] In practical applications, the standard vehicle-mounted container for transporting photovoltaic modules 3 currently has a doorway height of 2.58 meters. However, the overall height of the photovoltaic modules 3 after vertical packaging is 2.584 meters, which is insufficient to pass through the doorway of the standard container. In this embodiment, the packaging box height is 2.47 meters, the pallet assembly height is 0.114 meters, the support pier 22 and base 21 height is 0.06 meters, and the pad 23 height is 0.054 meters. After removing the pad 23, the overall height of the transport packaging structure is 2.53 meters, which allows it to pass through the doorway of the standard container, enabling vertical packaging and storage. Specific loading and unloading methods can also refer to commonly used loading procedures.

[0034] In this embodiment, the spacing between two adjacent support blocks 22 is equal.

[0035] like Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the support 22 has a groove 221 on the side opposite to the base 21, and the pad 23 has a slide rail 231 that matches the shape of the groove 221. During installation, the slide rail 231 on the pad 23 can slide into the groove 221 on the support 22. During disassembly, the slide rail 231 on the pad 23 can slide out of the groove 221 on the support 22. That is, installation and disassembly are achieved by pushing and pulling, which can realize quick installation and disassembly, shorten the transportation time, and improve the efficiency of loading photovoltaic modules 3.

[0036] Both the main body of the support 22 and the main body of the pad 23 can be rectangular plate structures. A groove 221 is provided on the main body of the support 22, and a slide rail 231 is provided on the main body of the pad 23. The height of the support 22 and the pad 23 refers to the height of their respective main bodies.

[0037] In this embodiment, the packaging box can be a cardboard box, and the pallet assembly can be made of wood. Since the packaging box has a detachable top cover 11, side panels 12, and bottom plate 13, if any one of the structures is damaged, it can be replaced without scrapping the entire packaging box, resulting in low maintenance costs.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the chute 221 includes an inner groove and an outer groove that are connected. The cross-sectional dimension of the inner groove is larger than that of the outer groove, and the cross-sectional shape of the slide rail 231 matches the cross-sectional shapes of the inner groove and the outer groove. This arrangement ensures that the chute 221 and the slide rail 231 can only be disassembled by sliding in the horizontal direction, preventing the pad 23 from falling off the support 22 under the action of gravity during the transfer process.

[0039] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, strapping guide grooves 211 are provided on the opposite side end faces of the base 21. The strapping guide grooves 211 can facilitate the guidance of the wrapping position of the strapping and also limit the strapping to prevent it from loosening. Two strapping guide grooves 211 can be provided on each of the opposite sides of the base 21.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, when the pad 23 and the support block 22 are installed together, the clearance space in the height direction is larger than the size of the forklift arm. This facilitates the forklift arm's entry into and exit from the clearance space.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the enclosure 12 includes four flat panels connected together in an enclosing manner. The enclosure 12 has a folded state and a packaged state. The packaged state is used to package the photovoltaic module 3, and the folded state is used for storage before packaging the photovoltaic module 3, which can reduce the space occupied for storage.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, in the folded state, two opposite panels of the four flat panels fold inwards, while the other two opposite panels move in a direction closer to each other. This arrangement allows for planar folding and storage of the enclosure 12, reducing the space occupied. In the packaged state, the included angle between any two adjacent panels is a right angle. This arrangement can accommodate the shape of the photovoltaic module 3. Furthermore, the folding method described above allows for rapid switching between the folded and packaged states of the enclosure 12, shortening packaging time.

[0043] For example, the enclosure 12 includes a first panel 121, a second panel 122, a third panel 123 and a fourth panel 124. The third panel 123 and the fourth panel 124 are folded inward along their respective centerlines, so that the first panel 121 and the second panel 122 move toward each other, thereby performing planar folding for storage.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the size of the top cover 11 matches the size of the top opening of the enclosure 12 when it is in the packaged state. This facilitates the insertion of the top cover 11 into the top opening of the enclosure 12 and its fit against the top of the photovoltaic module 3, preventing the photovoltaic module 3 from shaking.

[0045] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the base plate 13 has upwardly extending walls 131 on its four sides. The walls 131 are used to wrap the bottom of the photovoltaic module 3, and the bottom of the wall plate 12 overlaps and splices with the walls 131. The wall plate 12 can prevent relative displacement between the photovoltaic module 3 and the base plate 13, and the overlapping splicing method improves the stability of the connection between the wall plate 12 and the base plate 13.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the transport packaging structure of the photovoltaic module 3 of this utility model further includes: a first strapping strap 14 and a second strapping strap 31. The first strapping strap 14 is used to secure the packaging box. The second strapping strap 31 is used to secure the photovoltaic module 3. The first strapping strap 14 can improve the stability of the packaging box, and the second strapping strap 31 can improve the stability of the stacked photovoltaic modules 3, thereby improving the overall stability of the transport packaging structure.

[0047] The first packing strap 14 may include a plurality of first transverse straps 141 and first longitudinal straps 142, and the second packing strap 31 may include a plurality of second transverse straps 311 and second longitudinal straps 312, thereby firmly securing the packaging box and the photovoltaic module 3.

[0048] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
