Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of photovoltaic module technology, and in particular to a module application frame. Background Technology

[0002] As solar energy utilization matures, the application scenarios for solar cell modules are becoming increasingly diversified. In particular, many large public spaces and power plants are now using photovoltaic modules for power generation, and the frame plays a crucial role in protecting, supporting, and installing these modules. However, the cost of photovoltaic module frames is relatively high, typically accounting for 5%-10% of the total module cost, with aluminum frames accounting for a particularly significant portion. Under the industry's trend towards cost reduction and efficiency improvement, optimizing frame design or finding alternative solutions has become an important issue.

[0003] Existing crystalline silicon modules are typically framed after the module lamination process, and then installed in power plants or other applications using clamps, clamps, and drilling. This requires high torque from the installation clamps; too low a torque can cause the module to slip and fall off, while too high a torque can cause the non-tempered or semi-tempered glass to shatter under pressure. Furthermore, existing frames often deform or have internal debris that cannot be cleaned after the module is scrapped, making it impossible to replace other components besides the frame.

[0033] This utility model provides a component application border, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the component application frame includes a frame base plate 3 and a first surrounding plate 1.

[0034] In the following description, reference will be made to Figures 1 to 5 The specific structure of the components described above, including the application border of the components, and the connection relationships between the components are described in detail.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the laminate 4 can be a cuboid plate. The frame base plate 3 can be disposed at the bottom of the laminate 4. Multiple first surrounding plates 1 can be respectively clamped at multiple corners of the laminate 4 to position the laminate 4 in a direction parallel to the plate surface. The multiple first surrounding plates 1 are respectively connected to the frame base plate 3. Each first surrounding plate 1 can be provided with a first cover plate 11, and the corners of the laminate 4 are clamped between the first cover plate 11 and the frame base plate 3 to position the laminate 4 in a direction perpendicular to the plate surface. Thus, by simplifying the positioning structure, the production cost of the application frame is effectively reduced. Simultaneously, by using the corner clamping positioning method for the laminate 4, it is easy for operators to assemble the application frame. Furthermore, if a single first surrounding plate 1 is deformed or damaged, that first surrounding plate 1 can be replaced individually, thereby effectively solving the problems of high cost and difficulties in installation and replacement of existing frame structures. Similarly, when the laminate 4 breaks or is damaged during use, it facilitates the quick removal of the components and allows the frame structure to be reused to reduce costs.

[0036] It is understandable that the laminate 4 involved in this case refers to the encapsulated photovoltaic module in the photovoltaic field.

[0037] Several first enclosure panels 1 are respectively set at the corners of the laminate 4, and any two adjacent first enclosure panels 1 are spaced apart. Thus, a channel is formed between any two adjacent first enclosure panels 1 for dust, rainwater, debris and other objects on the upper surface (i.e. the light-incident side) of the laminate 4 to slide off. Compared with the traditional full-frame enclosure method, it can prevent the upper surface of the laminate 4 from being blocked by stains, debris and other objects, thus avoiding the occurrence of hot spots, thereby improving the stability and safety of photovoltaic cells.

[0038] Preferred, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the frame base plate 3 can be a rectangular plate to correspond to the shape of the laminate 4. The length of the frame base plate 3 is not less than the length of the laminate 4, and the width of the frame base plate 3 is not less than the length of the laminate 4, so that the laminate 4 can be completely placed on the upper part of the frame base plate 3, thus avoiding the laminate 4 being difficult to fix due to exceeding the frame base plate 3. Further, preferably, a buffer layer 5 can be provided on the top of the frame base plate 3 to avoid hard contact between the frame base plate 3 and the laminate 4. The buffer layer 5 can be made of a flexible material, such as highly weather-resistant rubber.

[0039] Preferred, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the first enclosure panel 1 may further include a first side panel portion 12. The surface of the first cover plate portion 11 may be parallel to the surface of the laminate 4 to facilitate pressing and fixing of the laminate 4, thereby avoiding stress concentration. The surface of the first side panel portion 12 may be perpendicular to the surface of the first cover plate portion 11 to limit the end of the laminate 4. The top end of the first side panel portion 12 may be connected to the surface of the first cover plate portion 11, and the surface of the first side panel portion 12 may be connected to the end face of the frame base plate 3, thereby fixing the first enclosure panel 1 to the frame base plate 3. Preferably, the first side panel portion 12 and the first cover plate portion 11 may be integrally formed.

[0040] Preferred, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the first side plate portion 12 can be formed in an L-shape, that is, the first side plate portion 12 can be bent at a right angle to correspond to the corner of the laminate 4. The first side plate portion 12 can simultaneously cover two mutually perpendicular sides of the laminate 4 to position the laminate 4 in two perpendicular directions. Multiple first side plates 1 cooperate with each other to position the laminate 4 in a direction parallel to the plate surface. The first cover plate portion 11 can also be formed in an L-shape, so that the first cover plate portion 11 can be correspondingly disposed at the top of the first side plate portion 12. Multiple first cover plates 11 respectively cover multiple corners of the laminate 4, so that the laminate 4 is fixed in a direction perpendicular to the plate surface.

[0041] Furthermore, preferably, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a buffer layer 5 can be provided at the bottom of the first cover plate portion 11. This allows the top surface of the laminate 4 to contact the buffer layer 5, preventing hard contact between the first cover plate portion 11 and the laminate 4. Simultaneously, the buffer layer 5 can adjust the gap to ensure the laminate 4 is securely positioned. Preferably, the fastener 6 can be a screw, and multiple screw holes 60 can be provided on the first side plate portion 12. These screw holes 60 can be spaced apart along the length of the first side plate portion 12, allowing the ends of the first surrounding plate 1 and the frame base plate 3 to be connected by screw fasteners 6. This arrangement is easier for operators to install compared to the traditional method of bonding with silicone adhesive. Furthermore, if a single first surrounding plate 1 is damaged or deformed, the damaged first surrounding plate 1 can be disassembled and replaced individually. However, this is not the only limitation; the screw as the fastener 6 is only a preferred embodiment. In actual use, the first side plate portion 12 and the frame base plate 3 can also be connected by bolts, anchors, or clips.

[0042] Further optimized, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the first enclosure panel 1 may further include a first horizontal plate portion 13. The surface of the first horizontal plate portion 13 may be perpendicular to the first side plate portion 12, that is, the surface of the first horizontal plate portion 13 may be parallel to the first cover plate portion 11. The first horizontal plate portion 13 may be disposed on the side of the first side plate portion 12 away from the laminate 4, that is, the first horizontal plate portion 13 and the first cover plate portion 11 are respectively disposed on both sides of the surface of the first side plate portion 12. The first horizontal plate portion 13 may have a plurality of mounting holes 130 for bolt connection with a fastener (or other type of clamp). The fastener is used to connect with the power station bracket, thereby enabling the application frame to be mounted on the power station bracket.

[0043] Preferred, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the component application frame may further include a second enclosure 2. The second enclosure 2 may be disposed at the middle of the side of the laminate 4. Specifically, there may be multiple second enclosures 2. Multiple second enclosures 2 may be disposed at the middle of each side of the laminate 4, or may be disposed only at the middle of the long side of the laminate 4, to ensure the positioning support strength of the laminate 4 and reduce the deformation effect of gravity on the laminate 4. The second enclosure 2 may be connected to the frame bottom plate 3. The second enclosure 2 may be provided with a second cover plate 21, so that the side of the laminate 4 is sandwiched between the second cover plate 21 and the frame bottom plate 3, so as to position the laminate 4 in a direction perpendicular to the plate surface.

[0044] The second enclosure 2 is spaced apart from the two adjacent first enclosure 1s, so that the adjacent first enclosure 1s and second enclosure 2s form a channel for dust, rainwater, debris and other objects on the upper surface (i.e. the light-incident side) of the laminate 4 to slide off. Compared with the traditional full-frame enclosure method, it can prevent the upper surface of the laminate 4 from being blocked by stains, debris and other objects, thus avoiding the occurrence of hot spots, thereby improving the stability and safety of photovoltaic cells.

[0045] Preferred, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the second enclosure panel 2 may further include a second side panel portion 22. The surface of the second cover plate portion 21 may be parallel to the surface of the laminate 4 to facilitate pressing and fixing of the laminate 4, thereby avoiding stress concentration. The surface of the second side panel portion 22 may be perpendicular to the surface of the second cover plate portion 21 to limit the end of the laminate 4. The top end of the second side panel portion 22 may be connected to the surface of the second cover plate portion 21, and the surface of the second side panel portion 22 may be connected to the end face of the frame base plate 3, thereby fixing the second enclosure panel 2 to the frame base plate 3. Preferably, the second side panel portion 22 and the second cover plate portion 21 may be integrally formed.

[0046] Preferred, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the top end of the second cover plate portion 21 can be connected to the end of the second side plate portion 22, so that the second enclosure member 2 is formed in an L shape. The length direction of the second cover plate portion 21 and the second side plate portion 22 can be parallel to the side of the adjacent laminate 4, so that the first enclosure member 1 can better perform its limiting function.

[0047] Preferred, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, a buffer layer 5 can be provided at the bottom of the second cover plate portion 21. This allows the top surface of the laminate 4 to contact the buffer layer 5, thereby preventing hard contact between the second cover plate portion 21 and the laminate 4. Simultaneously, the buffer layer 5 can adjust the gap to ensure the laminate 4 is securely positioned. Preferably, the fastener 6 can be a screw, and multiple screw holes 60 can be provided on the second side plate portion 22. These screw holes 60 can be spaced apart along the length of the second side plate portion 22, allowing the ends of the second enclosure plate 2 and the frame base plate 3 to be connected by screw fasteners 6. This arrangement is easier for operators to install compared to the traditional method of bonding with silicone adhesive. Furthermore, if a single second enclosure plate 2 is damaged or deformed, the damaged second enclosure plate 2 can be removed and replaced individually. However, this is not the only option. The fastener 6 being a screw is only a preferred embodiment. In actual use, the second side plate 22 and the frame base plate 3 can also be connected by bolts, anchors, or clips.

[0048] Furthermore, preferably, in this embodiment, the frame base plate 3, the first surrounding plate 1, and the second surrounding plate 2 can be made of high-strength aluminum alloy or steel, etc. The buffer layer 5 can be fixed to the top of the frame base plate 3 by adhesive bonding. The buffer layer 5 can also be fixed to the bottom of the first cover plate portion 11 and the second cover plate portion 21 by adhesive bonding.

[0049] During use, the component application frame adopts a splicing structure, with first surrounding panels 1 at the four corners of the laminate 4 and second surrounding panels 2 in the middle of the side of the laminate 4. The component application frame is supplied in bulk, and the frame base plate 3 is separately set from the first surrounding panels 1 and the second surrounding panels 2, eliminating the need for a framing machine and greatly improving framing efficiency. When installing the laminate 4, first place the laminate 4 on the frame base plate 3, then install the first surrounding panels 1 and the second surrounding panels 2 in sequence, and secure them with screws 6. When disassembling the laminate 4, a screwdriver or electric drill can be used to loosen the screws 6, and then the first surrounding panels 1 and the second surrounding panels 2 can be removed in sequence.

[0050] The aforementioned component application frame is more convenient and faster in framing and power plant applications, saving on the costs of silicone sealant, curing chambers, and after-sales service for power plants. When the component application frame is damaged, because of its modular structure, the damaged portion can be replaced individually, significantly reducing maintenance costs.

[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above-described embodiments are merely specific implementations of this application, used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them. The scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto.
