[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] The specific structure is as follows: Figures 1 to 6 As shown.

[0027] This embodiment provides a packaging assembly for photovoltaic modules, including: a bracket 1 and multiple hollow plastic boards 2; the bracket 1 is used to support the photovoltaic modules, and the bracket 1 is made of metal or plastic; all the hollow plastic boards 2 can be sequentially spliced ​​to form a box 15 with an open bottom, and at least one of the two adjacent hollow plastic boards 2 has a folded edge binding part 3 at its end for connecting with the other hollow plastic board 2; the box 15 is used to be mounted on the bracket 1 and cover the outside of the photovoltaic modules.

[0028] In this embodiment, during use, the photovoltaic module is placed on the bracket 1, and then the plastic hollow boards 2 are spliced ​​together to form a box 15 and placed over the photovoltaic module. Simultaneously, the folded edges 3 between the plastic hollow boards 2 are bound together using a binding device, connecting adjacent plastic hollow boards 2. Packaging and disassembly are convenient, and the box can be reused for a long time. Since the bracket 1 is made of metal or plastic, both the bracket 1 and the plastic hollow boards 2 are recyclable. A recycling team can be established for bulk recycling, reducing environmental pollution and controlling recycling costs. Furthermore, replacing traditional plywood pallets with the bracket 1 reduces environmental damage, increases packaging strength, and provides superior weather resistance. Using plastic hollow boards 2 instead of traditional cardboard for cartons and lids reduces environmental damage, and their weather resistance is far superior to cardboard and they are less prone to deformation.

[0029] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, five plastic hollow boards 2 can be provided. The five plastic hollow boards 2 are respectively placed on the front, left, rear, right and top sides and spliced ​​to form the box structure 15. The folded edge binding parts 3 between the plastic hollow boards 2 are bound by a binding device.

[0030] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, three plastic hollow boards 2 can be provided, two of which can be placed on the front, left, rear and right sides by bending, and the other one is placed on the top side. The whole is spliced ​​to form the box structure 15, and the folded edge binding part 3 between the plastic hollow boards 2 is bound by a binding device.

[0031] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, two plastic hollow boards 2 are provided, and the plastic hollow board 2 includes a transverse side part 4, a longitudinal side part 5, a transverse top part 6, a longitudinal top part 7, and a folded edge binding part 3; the longitudinal side part 5 is connected to the side end of the transverse side part 4 and can be bent laterally relative to the transverse side part 4; the transverse top part 6 is connected to the top end of the transverse side part 4 and can be bent up and down relative to the transverse side part 4; the longitudinal top part 7 is connected to the top end of the longitudinal side part 5 and can be bent up and down relative to the longitudinal side part 5; the folded edge binding part 3 is connected to the end of the longitudinal side part 5 away from the transverse side part 4 and can be bent laterally relative to the longitudinal side part 5.

[0032] In this embodiment, during packaging, the transverse side portion 4 and longitudinal side portion 5 of two plastic hollow boards 2 are bent relative to each other and placed on the front, left, back and right sides to form four sides. The folded edge binding portion 3 of the two plastic hollow boards 2 is bent relative to the longitudinal side portion 5 and attached to the transverse side portion 4 of another plastic hollow board 2. The folded edge binding portion 3 and the transverse side portion 4 are bound together by a binding device. Then, the transverse top portion 6 and the longitudinal top portion 7 of the two plastic hollow boards 2 are bent relative to the transverse side portion 4 and the longitudinal side portion 5 respectively and fastened to the top to finally form the box body 15. The box body 15 can be assembled from two plastic hollow boards 2. The structure is simple, the assembly and disassembly are convenient, and it is also easy to recycle.

[0033] It should be noted that only one folded edge binding part 3 needs to be provided at the connection between two adjacent hollow plastic boards 2, and the folded edge binding part 3 can be located on either of the two adjacent hollow plastic boards 2.

[0034] In this embodiment, the plastic hollow board 2 is composed of two flat panels supported by vertically arranged ribs in the middle, and the hollow part forms a regular rectangular or trapezoidal hollow channel.

[0035] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the bracket 1 includes multiple longitudinal beams 8, multiple transverse beams 9 and multiple corner posts 10; the longitudinal beams 8 are provided with through holes corresponding to the number of transverse beams 9, and all transverse beams 9 are inserted through the through holes one by one, and all longitudinal beams 8 and all transverse beams 9 form a frame; the corner posts 10 are provided at the bottom of the frame.

[0036] In this embodiment, multiple crossbeams 9 are inserted one-to-one through the holes of multiple longitudinal beams 8 to form a frame. The crossbeams 9 and longitudinal beams 8 are connected by rivets, which facilitates assembly and ensures structural stability. Multiple corner posts 10 are installed at the bottom of the frame to detach it from the bottom surface, making it easier for forklifts to load and unload. The corner posts 10 must be installed to ensure the stability of the frame.

[0037] This embodiment is not limited to this; the bracket 1 can also be an integrally formed frame, with corner posts 10 installed at the bottom, or the frame and corner posts 10 can be integrally formed.

[0038] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the longitudinal beam 8 is provided with a slot 11, and the corner post 10 is snapped into the slot 11. When installing the corner post 10, it only needs to be snapped into the slot 11 and then fixed with rivets, which is convenient for installation and positioning.

[0039] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, a weight-reducing groove 12 is provided on the longitudinal beam 8. This reduces the weight of the longitudinal beam 8 without affecting its strength.

[0040] In this embodiment, an optional technical solution also includes corrugated cardboard, which is attached to the upper surface of the bracket 1. This avoids direct contact between the photovoltaic module and the top surface of the bracket 1, preventing wear and tear. Furthermore, the relatively flat corrugated cardboard facilitates the placement of the photovoltaic module.

[0041] In this embodiment, an optional technical solution also includes a double-sided EVA foam adhesive layer, through which the corrugated cardboard is connected to the bracket 1. This ensures the stability of the corrugated cardboard connection. However, it is not limited to this; other methods can also be used to connect and fix the corrugated cardboard, such as double-sided adhesive or glue, as long as the requirements are met.

[0042] In this optional technical solution, the corrugated cardboard has three layers. This further prevents wear and tear on the photovoltaic modules and provides better protection.

[0043] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the bracket 1 is provided with a limiting groove 13, and the plastic hollow plate 2 is provided with a T-shaped block 14 that cooperates with the limiting groove 13.

[0044] In this embodiment, T-shaped blocks 14 can be provided at the bottom of the transverse side portion 4, or at the bottom of the longitudinal side portion 5, or at the bottom of both the transverse side portion 4 and the longitudinal side portion 5. During packaging, the T-shaped blocks 14 on the plastic hollow panels 2 are engaged in the limiting grooves 13 on the bracket 1, effectively preventing the plastic hollow panels 2 from moving up and down relative to the bracket 1, thus ensuring the reliability of the packaging. The limiting grooves 13 can be T-shaped grooves or elongated grooves, as long as they can mate with the T-shaped blocks 14.

[0045] However, this embodiment is not limited to this. The bracket 1 and the box 15 can be fixed together with packing straps to prevent them from detaching from each other.

[0046] This embodiment provides a packaging unit including a photovoltaic module and the aforementioned packaging component for the photovoltaic module. Therefore, the technical advantages and effects achieved by this packaging unit include those achieved by the aforementioned packaging component for the photovoltaic module, which will not be repeated here.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
