Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic module installation technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic module frame profile. Background Technology
[0002] As a structural frame material, the photovoltaic (PV) module frame plays a crucial role in fixing, sealing, and protecting the PV module, making it an indispensable component. Specifically, firstly, the PV frame provides encapsulation, securely encapsulating core materials such as solar cells, glass, and backsheets, effectively resisting external environmental factors such as mechanical stress, wind pressure, and snow loads, thereby extending the overall lifespan of the PV module. Secondly, the frame provides stable and reliable support for the PV module, ensuring its normal operation under various complex and changing environmental conditions, while also facilitating transportation and installation. Thirdly, the PV frame seals the edges of the PV module, preventing moisture and other external substances from penetrating the module, thus protecting the solar cells from damage.
[0003] However, during use, it was found that the photovoltaic frame disclosed in the previously filed application with application number 2026200526299 has a slightly weaker cavity strength when subjected to a large external impact, and there is still a risk of deformation. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model solves the problems in related technologies and proposes a photovoltaic module frame profile. The end of the second side connected to the top edge is bent into a first reinforcing part that fits against the top edge, and the bottom edge is bent towards one side of the cavity to form a reinforcing part, thereby strengthening the cavity and preventing deformation of the frame body caused by excessive external force. By riveting the free end of the large U-shaped part of the free end of the frame body to the lower edge of the double-layer top edge, there will be no loosening of the wrapping, which can better improve the strength of the photovoltaic frame.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a photovoltaic module frame profile, including a frame body, the frame body including a cavity and a mounting groove, the cavity being formed by a top edge, a first side edge, a bottom edge, and a second side edge, the end of the second side edge connected to the top edge being bent into a first reinforcing part that fits against the top edge, the bottom edge being bent toward one side of the cavity to form a second reinforcing part, the mounting groove being formed by a top edge, double-layer side edges, and double-layer top edge to form a structure with an opening at one end; the free end of the double-layer top edge is bent into a large U-shaped part that wraps around a small U-shaped part, the free end of the large U-shaped part being riveted together with the lower edge of the double-layer top edge.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment, the top of the upper edge of the double-layer top edge is provided with at least one anti-slip tooth.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the extended edge of the bottom edge and the bent edge of the second side edge form a stacked extended edge.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: (1) The end of the second side connected to the top edge is bent into a first reinforcing part that fits with the top edge, and the bottom edge is bent toward one side of the cavity to form a reinforcing part, thereby reinforcing the cavity and preventing deformation of the frame body caused by excessive external force. (2) By riveting the free end of the large U-shaped part of the free end of the frame body to the lower edge of the double top edge, there will be no loosening of the wrapping, which can better improve the strength of the photovoltaic frame. (3) An anti-slip tooth structure is provided on the top of the frame body. When the top of the frame body is pressed down by a pressure block, the anti-slip tooth can play an anti-slip role. (4) In addition, the extended edge of the bottom edge and the bent edge of the second side edge overlap each other to form a stacked extended edge. This stacked extended edge is convenient to be connected to the photovoltaic bracket during the installation process, thereby playing a supporting role. Attached Figure Description

[0011] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present utility model or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0012] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.
[0013] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values of the components and steps described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of this invention. It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.
[0014] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. The directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself.
[0015] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.
[0016] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0017] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a photovoltaic module frame profile includes a frame body, which includes a cavity 1 and a mounting groove 2. The cavity 1 is formed by a top edge 11, a first side edge 12, a bottom edge 13, and a second side edge 14. One end of the second side edge 14 connected to the top edge 11 is bent into a first reinforcing part 15 that fits against the top edge 11. The first reinforcing part 15 can improve the strength of the cavity 1 and is not easily deformed under external impact. The bottom edge 13 is bent toward one side of the cavity 1 to form a second reinforcing part 16. This strengthens the cavity 1 and prevents deformation of the frame body due to excessive external force. The mounting groove 2 is formed by the top edge 11, the double-layer side edge 21 and the double-layer top edge 22, which has an opening at one end. The free end of the double-layer top edge 22 is bent into a large U-shaped part 221 to wrap around the small U-shaped part 222. The free end of the large U-shaped part 221 is riveted to the lower edge of the double-layer top edge 22 to form a riveting part 23. This prevents the wrapping from loosening and can better improve the strength of the photovoltaic frame.
[0018] In one embodiment, the top of the upper edge of the double-layer top edge 22 is provided with at least one anti-slip tooth 3. In this embodiment, there are two anti-slip teeth 3. The anti-slip teeth 3 are used to prevent slipping when the top of the frame body is pressed down by the pressure block. The side of the pressure block that contacts the anti-slip teeth 3 can also be designed with anti-slip teeth. The interlocking of the two anti-slip teeth can further enhance the anti-slip performance of the two during installation.
[0019] In one embodiment, the extended edge of the bottom edge 13 and the bent edge of the second side edge 14 form a stacked extended edge 4, which facilitates connection with the photovoltaic bracket during installation to provide support.
[0020] The above are preferred embodiments of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Any obvious improvements, substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
