[0034] As the global energy structure accelerates its transformation towards low-carbon and clean energy, photovoltaic (PV) power generation, as an important renewable energy technology, has seen widespread application and rapid development in recent years. As the core component of a PV power generation system, the structural design and manufacturing cost of PV modules directly affect the system's stability and economic efficiency. Traditional PV module frames typically consist of four sides (A-side, B-side, C-side, and D-side). With the PV industry's continuous pursuit of cost reduction and efficiency improvement, new frame designs that simplify the structure and reduce material usage have emerged.
[0035] Currently, there is a lack of effective solutions for the installation and load-bearing issues of simplified photovoltaic module frames. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a fixing method suitable for simplified photovoltaic module frames that can achieve reliable installation and improve their load-bearing capacity, thereby reducing frame costs while ensuring the structural safety and system stability of the module.
[0036] Please refer to Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a photovoltaic module, which includes a laminate and a frame mounting structure, and the laminate and frame mounting structure are detachably connected. This effectively improves the aforementioned technical problems, enables reliable installation of the frame structure, and ensures the structural safety and system stability of the module.
[0037] Please refer to Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a frame mounting structure including a frame body 10, a mounting plate 20, and a mounting bracket 30. The frame body 10 includes a top plate 11 and a side plate 12. The side plate 12 is connected to one side edge of the top plate 11. The mounting plate 20 is detachably connected to both the top plate 11 and the side plate 12. The mounting bracket 30 is detachably connected to the mounting plate 20.
[0038] Specifically, compared with the prior art, the frame body 10 provided in this embodiment removes the C-side and D-side, simplifies the frame structure, significantly reduces the weight of the frame, and thus reduces production costs.
[0039] In this embodiment, the side plate 12 includes a first plate 121 and a second plate 122. The first plate 121 and the second plate 122 are arranged vertically, and the bottom end of the first plate 121 is connected to the second plate 122. The second plate 122 and the top plate 11 are arranged parallel to each other. The mounting plate 20 is detachably connected to both the top plate 11 and the second plate 122. The first plate 121 is arranged vertically, and the top plate 11 is located near the top end of the first plate 121 and connected to it. The top end of the first plate 121 extends outwards.
[0040] Specifically, the first plate 121, the second plate 122, and the top plate 11 are integrally formed. For example, they can be welded together.
[0041] It should be noted that the top plate 11 has a first protrusion 101 at the end away from the side plate 12, and the second plate 122 has a second protrusion 102 at the end away from the first plate 121. The first protrusion 101 and the second protrusion 102 are arranged opposite to each other, and the mounting plate 20 is engaged with both the first protrusion 101 and the second protrusion 102. The first protrusion 101 is oriented downwards, and the second protrusion 102 is oriented upwards. The first protrusion 101 and the top plate 11 are L-shaped, and there is a first groove between the first protrusion 101 and the top plate 11. The second protrusion 102 and the second plate 122 are L-shaped, and there is a second groove between the second protrusion 102 and the second plate 122.
[0042] In this embodiment, there are multiple mounting plates 20, all of which are connected to the frame body 10. The number of mounting supports 30 is adapted to the number of mounting plates 20. Specifically, mounting plates 20 only need to be detachably connected at the connection points between the frame body 10 and the external clamps. This reduces production costs, thereby achieving cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
[0043] In this embodiment, there are two mounting plates 20, which are spaced apart. In other embodiments, the number of mounting plates 20 may be increased or decreased, and no specific limitation is made here.
[0044] Furthermore, the mounting plate 20 and mounting bracket 30 can be made of aluminum alloy or steel. For example, in coastal areas, due to the influence of the ocean and air currents, there may be severe weather such as typhoons. In this scenario, using steel for the mounting plate 20 and mounting bracket 30 can increase the overall stability of the structure. In inland areas, severe weather is less common, and in this scenario, aluminum alloy for the mounting plate 20 and mounting bracket 30 can be used. By changing the mounting plate 20 and mounting bracket 30 and the material selection according to different environments, the application becomes more adaptable.
[0045] Furthermore, the mounting plate 20 includes a plate body 21 and a boss 22. The boss 22 is disposed on one side of the plate body 21, and both sides of the plate body 21 are located outside the boss 22. The two sides of the plate body 21 are respectively attached to the first protrusion 101 and the second protrusion 102. The plate body 21 is vertically arranged, the boss 22 is integrally formed with one side of the plate body 21, the width of the boss 22 is smaller than the width of the plate body 21, the boss 22 is located in the middle of the plate body 21, and both sides of the plate body 21 are located outside the boss 22.
[0046] During installation, the mounting plate 20 is inserted into the frame body 10 through the opening between the first protrusion 101 and the second protrusion 102. The upper and lower sides of the mounting plate 20 are located in the first slot and the second slot, respectively. The upper side of the boss 22 contacts the bottom of the first protrusion 101, and the lower side of the boss 22 contacts the top of the second protrusion 102, thereby achieving assembly.
[0047] Furthermore, the height of the boss 22 is less than or equal to the thickness of the first protrusion 101. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the height H of the boss 22 is less than or equal to the thickness T of the first protrusion 101.
[0048] It should be noted that, since the frame body 10 provided in this embodiment removes the C-side and D-side, the frame's load-bearing capacity is poor, resulting in excessive deformation and potential damage. To address this technical problem, the frame mounting structure provided in this embodiment, when in use, has the mounting plate 20 embedded inside the frame and stably connected to the top plate 11 and side plate 12. This effectively replaces the original D-side's supporting function in the absence of a D-side structure, enhancing the frame's structural strength under external loads such as wind and snow pressure, preventing deformation or damage caused by localized stress concentration, and improving the structural stability and reliability of the frame body 10.
[0049] Specifically, the mounting plate 20 is provided with threaded holes 201, which pass through both the plate body 21 and the boss 22. There are multiple threaded holes 201, and the multiple threads are spaced apart along the length of the mounting plate 20.
[0050] In this embodiment, there are two threaded holes 201. In other embodiments, the number of threaded holes 201 may be increased or decreased, and no specific limitation is made here.
[0051] It should also be noted that the mounting bracket 30 includes a first connecting plate 31 and a second connecting plate 32 connected to each other. The first connecting plate 31 and the second connecting plate 32 are arranged in an L-shape. The first connecting plate 31 and the mounting plate 20 are detachably connected. The two sides of the first connecting plate 31 are respectively attached to the first protrusion 101 and the second protrusion 102.
[0052] Specifically, the first connecting plate 31 is provided with a through hole 301, the position of which corresponds to the position of the threaded hole 201.
[0053] During installation, after the mounting plate 20 is assembled, the first connecting plate 31 is placed outside the first protrusion 101 and the second protrusion 102, and the threaded hole 201 of the mounting plate 20 and the through hole 301 of the first connecting plate 31 are aligned. The mounting plate 20 and the mounting support 30 are then connected by screws.
[0054] Furthermore, the second connecting plate 32 is provided with mounting holes 302, and bolts and nuts are installed in the mounting holes 302 to connect the second connecting plate 32 and the bracket.
[0055] In this embodiment, the number of mounting holes 302 is three. In other embodiments, the number of mounting holes 302 may be increased or decreased, and no specific limitation is made here.
[0056] In summary, this utility model embodiment provides a frame mounting structure and a photovoltaic module. The frame mounting structure includes a frame body 10, a mounting plate 20, and a mounting bracket 30. The frame body 10 includes a top plate 11 and a side plate 12, with one edge of the side plate 12 connected to the top plate 11. The mounting plate 20 is detachably connected to both the top plate 11 and the side plate 12, and the mounting bracket 30 is detachably connected to the mounting plate 20. In use, the frame body 10 eliminates the C and D surface structures of traditional frames, significantly reducing the amount of frame material used, lowering the frame weight per meter and manufacturing cost, which is beneficial for controlling and optimizing the overall cost of the photovoltaic module. Through the detachable connection structure between the mounting plate 20 and the mounting bracket 30, the number, position, and installation method of the mounting bracket 30 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual installation needs, meeting the requirements of various installation scenarios, improving installation adaptability and construction efficiency, enabling reliable installation of the frame structure, and ensuring the structural safety and system stability of the module.
[0057] The photovoltaic module includes a laminate and a frame mounting structure, which are detachably connected. In use, the frame body 10 eliminates the C and D surfaces of traditional frames, significantly reducing material usage, frame weight per meter, and manufacturing costs, thus facilitating overall cost control and optimization of the photovoltaic module. The detachable connection between the mounting plate 20 and the mounting bracket 30 allows for flexible adjustment of the number, position, and installation method of the mounting brackets 30 according to actual installation needs, meeting the requirements of various installation scenarios, improving installation adaptability and construction efficiency, and enabling reliable installation of the frame structure, ensuring the structural safety and system stability of the module.
