Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic panel installation technology, and in particular to a frame for mounting photovoltaic panels. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaics refers to photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems, which utilize the photovoltaic effect of photovoltaic cells to directly convert solar radiation energy into electrical energy. In existing technologies, PV equipment consists of multiple photovoltaic panels assembled on a plane. To ensure assembly stability, the photovoltaic panels are first installed in an aluminum alloy frame to protect their exterior, and then the aluminum alloy frame is installed on the photovoltaic panel support. However, existing aluminum alloy components are usually fixed using welding, screws, and other techniques. As a result, when the photovoltaic panels are damaged and need repair, it is inconvenient to remove them from the frame, and the disassembled aluminum alloy components will be damaged and unusable, thus reducing their practical performance. At the same time, existing PV panel mounting frames can only accommodate photovoltaic panels of the same size, which limits the applicability of the mounting frames during assembly. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model addresses the problem that photovoltaic panels are not detachable and can only be installed on photovoltaic panels of the same size. It provides a frame for photovoltaic panels that can be detached and is applicable to a wide range of sizes.

[0004] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a frame for mounting photovoltaic panels, including a photovoltaic panel, which is detachably installed in the frame body. The frame body includes two short side frames and two long side frames, which are connected end to end to form a rectangular frame. The short side frames have a first receiving groove, and the long side frames have a second receiving groove. The two short side frames are divided into a fixed short frame and a clamping short frame, and the two long side frames are divided into a fixed long frame and a clamping long frame. Both the clamping short frame and the clamping long frame are provided with support components for clamping the photovoltaic panel frame. The support components are configured to be retractable to adapt to the length and width of the photovoltaic panel. The two sides of the photovoltaic panel are respectively engaged in the first receiving groove of the fixed short frame and the second receiving groove of the fixed long frame. The other two sides of the photovoltaic panel are respectively connected and fixed by the two support components.

[0005] In some embodiments, the support assembly includes a snap-fit ​​U-shaped plate, a rotating rod, a sliding block, and a lead screw. The photovoltaic panel is snapped into the snap-fit ​​U-shaped plate. The two ends of the rotating rod are respectively hinged to the snap-fit ​​U-shaped plate and the sliding block. The sliding block includes a connecting threaded hole and is installed on the lead screw through the threaded hole. The rotation of the lead screw causes the sliding block to move along the length direction of the lead screw.

[0006] In some embodiments, the lead screw includes a left threaded section and a right threaded section, which are symmetrically arranged about the midpoint of the lead screw, and the threads of the left threaded section and the right threaded section are arranged in opposite directions. There are two sliding blocks, which are symmetrically arranged about the midpoint of the lead screw on the left threaded section and the right threaded section, respectively.

[0007] In some embodiments, the support assembly includes an adjusting bolt, a drive rod, a drive bevel gear, and a driven bevel gear. The adjusting bolt is located at the upper end of the drive rod, the drive bevel gear is sleeved on the drive rod, and the driven bevel gear is sleeved on the end of the lead screw. The drive bevel gear meshes with the driven bevel gear.

[0008] In some embodiments, an anti-slip pad is provided along the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​U-shaped plate.

[0009] In some embodiments, the inner walls of the first receiving groove for fixing the short frame and the second receiving groove for fixing the long frame are provided with anti-slip pads.

[0010] In some embodiments, a first baffle is detachably provided above the clamping short frame, and the first baffle is installed on the upper end face of the clamping short frame by bolts.

[0011] In some embodiments, a second baffle is detachably provided above the clamping frame, and the second baffle is bolted to the upper end face of the clamping frame.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. Detachable installation and easy adjustment to adapt to different photovoltaic panels: The photovoltaic panels can be detached and installed in the frame, and the support components can be extended and retracted to adapt to the length and width of the photovoltaic panels. This allows the frame to be adapted to photovoltaic panels of different sizes, improving the versatility and applicability of the frame and facilitating the installation, replacement and maintenance of photovoltaic panels.

[0014] 2. Stable and reliable clamping and fixing method: The support component can firmly clamp the photovoltaic panel frame through the cooperation of the U-shaped plate, rotating rod, sliding block and lead screw. The position of the U-shaped plate is adjusted by the rotation of the lead screw driving the sliding block, so as to achieve stable fixing of the photovoltaic panel, enhance the stability of the photovoltaic panel after installation, and reduce the damage to the photovoltaic panel caused by shaking and other factors.

[0015] 3. Anti-slip design enhances fixing effect: Anti-slip pads are provided on the inner walls of the U-shaped plate, the first receiving groove for fixing the short frame, and the second receiving groove for fixing the long frame. This effectively increases the friction between the photovoltaic panel and the photovoltaic panel, preventing the photovoltaic panel from sliding within the frame and further improving the reliability and stability of the photovoltaic panel installation.

[0016] 4. Removable baffles facilitate operation and maintenance: The first baffle above the short frame and the second baffle above the long frame are removable and installed with bolts. This facilitates operation during photovoltaic panel installation, protects the supporting components from wind and rain, extends the service life of the supporting components, and also makes it easy to remove the baffles for inspection and maintenance of the internal structure during later maintenance.

[0030] The technical solutions provided by the various embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Please see Figure 1-6As shown in this embodiment: a frame for mounting a photovoltaic panel 1 includes a photovoltaic panel 1, which is detachably installed in a frame body 2. The frame body 2 includes two short side frames 3 and two long side frames 4, which are connected end to end to form a rectangular frame. The short side frames 3 have a first receiving groove 31, and the long side frames 4 have a second receiving groove 41. The two short side frames 3 are divided into a fixed short frame 32 and a clamping short frame 33, and the two long side frames 4 are divided into a fixed long frame 42 and a clamping long frame 43. Both the clamping short frame 33 and the clamping long frame 43 are provided with support components 5 for clamping the frame of the photovoltaic panel 1. The support components 5 are configured to be retractable to adapt to the length and width of the photovoltaic panel 1. The two sides of the photovoltaic panel 1 are respectively engaged in the first receiving groove 31 of the fixed short frame 32 and the second receiving groove 41 of the fixed long frame 42. The other two sides of the photovoltaic panel 1 are respectively connected and fixed by the two support components 5.

[0032] The photovoltaic panel 1 can be detachably installed inside the frame 2, and the support component 5 can be telescopically set to adapt to the length and width of the photovoltaic panel 1, so that the frame can be adapted to photovoltaic panels 1 of different sizes, improving the versatility and applicability of the frame, and facilitating the installation, replacement and maintenance of the photovoltaic panel 1.

[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-4 As shown, the support assembly 5 includes a snap-fit ​​U-shaped plate 51, a rotating rod 52, a sliding block 53, and a lead screw 54. The photovoltaic panel 1 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​U-shaped plate 51. The two ends of the rotating rod 52 are respectively hinged to the snap-fit ​​U-shaped plate 51 and the sliding block 53. The sliding block 53 includes a connecting threaded hole 531. The sliding block 53 is installed on the lead screw 54 through the threaded hole 531. The rotation of the lead screw 54 drives the sliding block 53 to move along the length of the lead screw 54. It should be noted that by rotating the lead screw 54, the sliding block 53 is moved on the lead screw 54. Since the two ends of the rotating rod 52 are respectively hinged to the snap-fit ​​U-shaped plate 51 and the sliding block 53, when the slider moves, the snap-fit ​​U-shaped plate 51 can move inward or outward, thereby achieving the adaptation of different photovoltaic panel 1 sizes.

[0034] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, the lead screw 54 includes a left threaded section 541 and a right threaded section 542. The left threaded section 541 and the right threaded section 542 are symmetrically arranged about the midpoint of the lead screw 54, and the threads of the left threaded section 541 and the right threaded section 542 are arranged in opposite directions. There are two sliding blocks 53, which are symmetrically arranged about the midpoint of the lead screw 54 on the left threaded section 541 and the right threaded section 542, respectively. It should be noted that by including the left threaded section 541 and the right threaded section 542, the lead screw 54 provides support on both the left and right sides of the U-shaped plate 51. At the same time, the two sliding blocks 53 are symmetrically arranged on the left threaded section 541 and the right threaded section 542, respectively. When the lead screw 54 rotates, the two sliding blocks 53 will move relative to or away from each other along the length of the lead screw 54, making the movement of the U-shaped plate 51 more stable.

[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-4 As shown, the support assembly 5 includes an adjusting bolt 55, a drive rod 56, a drive bevel gear 57, and a driven bevel gear 58. The adjusting bolt 55 is located at the upper end of the drive rod 56. The drive bevel gear 57 is sleeved on the drive rod 56, and the driven bevel gear 58 is sleeved on the end of the lead screw 54. The drive bevel gear 57 and the driven bevel gear 58 mesh. It should be noted that by controlling the rotation of the adjusting bolt 55, the drive rod 56 drives the drive bevel gear 57 to rotate. The drive bevel gear 57 meshes with the driven bevel gear 58, thereby driving the lead screw 54 to rotate, which is more labor-saving and convenient.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the U-shaped snap-fit ​​plate 51 is provided with an anti-slip pad 6 along the inner side wall. It should be noted that the anti-slip pad 6 increases the friction with the photovoltaic panel 1. As the position of the U-shaped snap-fit ​​plate is adjusted, the side of the photovoltaic panel 1 is clamped and fixed, and wear on the wall of the photovoltaic panel 1 is prevented, resulting in a longer service life.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5-6 As shown, the inner walls of the first receiving groove 31 of the fixed short frame 32 and the second receiving groove 41 of the fixed long frame 42 are provided with anti-slip pads 6. It should be noted that the anti-slip pads 6 increase the friction between the fixed short frame 32 and the fixed long frame 42 and the photovoltaic panel 1.

[0038] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, a first baffle 7 is detachably provided above the clamping short frame 33. The first baffle 7 is installed on the upper end face of the clamping short frame 33 by bolts. It should be noted that the setting of the first baffle 7 plays a protective role for the photovoltaic panel 1 and the internal support components 5 and other structures. When it is necessary to inspect, repair or replace the photovoltaic panel 1 or the internal structure of the frame in the future, the bolts can be unscrewed and the first baffle 7 can be removed to facilitate the corresponding operations.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, a second baffle 8 is detachably provided above the clamping frame 43. The second baffle 8 is installed on the upper surface of the clamping frame 43 by bolts. It should be noted that the second baffle 8 is provided to protect the photovoltaic panel 1 and the internal support components 5 and other structures. When it is necessary to inspect, repair or replace the photovoltaic panel 1 or the internal structure of the frame in the future, the bolts can be unscrewed and the first baffle 7 can be removed to facilitate the corresponding operations.

[0040] Working principle: Photovoltaic panel 1 installation preparation: First, insert one side of the photovoltaic panel 1 into the first receiving groove 31 of the fixed short frame 32, and the other side into the second receiving groove 41 of the fixed long frame 42. Use these two fixed frames to initially position the photovoltaic panel 1. Since the inner walls of the first receiving groove 31 of the fixed short frame 32 and the second receiving groove 41 of the fixed long frame 42 are provided with anti-slip pads 6, the photovoltaic panel 1 can be effectively prevented from sliding during positioning.

[0041] Adjustment of support component 5: For the remaining two sides of the photovoltaic panel 1 that are not fixed, support component 5 is required for fixation. At this time, rotate the adjusting bolt 55, thereby driving the drive rod 56 to drive the drive bevel gear 57. The drive bevel gear 57 meshes with the driven bevel gear 58, causing the driven bevel gear 58 to rotate, so that the driven bevel gear 58 drives the lead screw 54. The lead screw 54 includes a left thread section 541 and a right thread section 542, and the left thread section 541 and the right thread section 542 are symmetrically arranged about the midpoint of the lead screw 54, with the threads arranged in opposite directions. At the same time, two sliding blocks 53 are symmetrically arranged on the left thread section 541 and the right thread section 542 respectively. When the lead screw 54 rotates, the two sliding blocks 53 will move relative to or away from each other along the length direction of the lead screw 54.

[0042] Photovoltaic panel 1 clamping and fixing: The movement of sliding block 53 will drive the movement of the snap-fit ​​U-shaped plate through rotating rod 52. Since the two ends of rotating rod 52 are hinged to snap-fit ​​U-shaped plate and sliding block 53 respectively, snap-fit ​​U-shaped plate can adjust its position as sliding block 53 moves, snapping the side of photovoltaic panel 1 into snap-fit ​​U-shaped plate. Anti-slip pads 6 are provided along the inner wall of snap-fit ​​U-shaped plate, which increases the friction with photovoltaic panel 1. As the position of snap-fit ​​U-shaped plate is adjusted, the side of photovoltaic panel 1 is clamped and fixed. By adjusting screw 54, the support component 5 can adapt to photovoltaic panels 1 of different length and width, completing the installation and fixing of photovoltaic panel 1 in frame 2.

[0043] Installation and maintenance of baffles: After the photovoltaic panel 1 is installed, the first baffle 7 is installed above the clamping short frame 33 with bolts, and the second baffle 8 is installed above the clamping long frame 43 with bolts. This protects the photovoltaic panel 1 and the internal support components 5 and other structures. When it is necessary to inspect, repair or replace the photovoltaic panel 1 or the internal structure of the frame in the future, the bolts can be unscrewed and the first baffle 7 and the second baffle 8 can be removed for convenient operation.

[0044] The same or similar parts between the various embodiments in this specification can be referred to mutually. Each embodiment focuses on describing the differences from other embodiments.

[0045] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
