Description

Frame for solar cell modules

[0001] The present invention relates to a frame for a solar cell module on which a solar cell module is mounted.

[0002] Typically, flexible solar cell modules have an adhesive layer formed on the back, and are installed by directly attaching them to the roof of a building or a waterproofing sheet installed on the roof, such as a TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) sheet.

[0003] In this way, since the solar cell module itself is conventionally directly bonded to the roof of the building or the TPO sheet by an adhesive layer, it is not only difficult to separate the solar cell module when re-installation is desired, but there is also the problem of damage occurring to the solar cell module during the process of separating the solar cell module.

[0004] In addition, there is a problem that the cost burden is high because it is difficult to reuse solar cell modules due to damage that occurs during re-construction.

[0005] Meanwhile, the technology that serves as the background for the present invention is disclosed in Patent Publication No. 10-2014-0018516.

[0006] The present invention has been devised in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a frame for a solar cell module that is easy to construct and can minimize damage to the solar cell module during re-construction.

[0007] The purposes of the present invention are not limited to the purposes mentioned above, and other purposes not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description below.

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a frame for a solar cell module, comprising: a base frame having a predetermined width on which a solar cell module is mounted as an upper surface; a fixed frame formed on each edge of the side of the base frame, hinged so as to be rotatable, and provided to surround the upper edge of the edge of the solar cell module when rotated in a closed state; and a fixed part mounted on the inside of the fixed frame and providing elasticity so that the fixed frame rotates to maintain a closed or open state.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the solar cell module further includes a support plate that is adhered to the rear surface of the solar cell module to support the solar cell module and is mounted on the base frame together with the solar cell module.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the support plate is formed in a plate shape or mesh shape to correspond to the width of the solar cell module.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the base frame includes a drainage channel formed at regular intervals on the upper surface to naturally drain rainwater introduced from the outside.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the solar cell module includes a fixing member having fixing holes formed at regular intervals through an edge thereof, and the fixing frame is fastened to the fixing holes in a closed state to fix the solar cell module.

[0013] By means of the above-described problem-solving means, the present invention can be installed by mounting a solar cell module and then adhering it to the roof of a building or a TPO sheet, thereby facilitating construction, and in case re-construction is required, the fixed frame can be converted to an open state to separate the solar cell module without damage.

[0014] In addition, since the solar cell module is fixed by the support plate and the fixing member of the fixing frame, the present invention has the effect of preventing deformation and damage of the solar cell module due to external force or strong wind pressure.

[0015] In addition, the present invention has the effect of making the base frame and the fixed frame made of plastic, aluminum alloy or magnesium alloy, thereby making it possible to reduce weight and ensure high durability.

[0016] In addition, the present invention has the effect of enabling weight reduction by providing a support plate in a mesh shape.

[0018] FIG. 2 is a drawing showing a solar cell module mounted on a frame for a solar cell module according to the present invention.

[0019] Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of a frame for a solar cell module according to the present invention.

[0020] In the following description, specific details of the present invention are set forth to provide a general understanding of the present invention, but it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be readily practiced without these specific details and with modifications thereof.

[0021] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings 1 to 3, focusing on the parts necessary for understanding the operation and function according to the present invention.

[0024] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, a frame (100) for a solar cell module according to one embodiment of the present invention may be configured to include a base frame (110), a fixed frame (120), a fixed part (130), and a support plate (140).

[0025] The frame (100) for a solar cell module according to one embodiment of the present invention is provided so as to be able to mount a solar cell module (10), and can be installed on the roof of a building or a TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) sheet (20) installed on the roof with the solar cell module (10) mounted thereon, and when re-construction is required and it is separated from the roof or the TPO sheet (20), the solar cell module (10) inside can be protected from damage.

[0026] Here, the solar cell module (10) described above is a flexible solar cell module that is light and flexible, unlike a crystalline silicon solar cell, and an adhesive layer (13) may be formed on the back side thereof, and a plurality of fixing holes (15) may be formed at regular intervals through the edge thereof.

[0027] The above base frame (110) is formed so that a solar cell module (10) is mounted on the upper surface, and may be made of a material such as plastic, aluminum alloy, or magnesium alloy, and may be formed in a plate shape of a predetermined width, but is not limited thereto.

[0028] In addition, the base frame (110) may have a base adhesive layer (113) formed on the lower surface to be adhered to a roof or TPO sheet (20), and drainage channels (115) formed at regular intervals on the upper surface to allow natural drainage of rainwater flowing in from the outside.

[0029] At this time, the aforementioned base adhesive layer (113) may be formed of a waterproof tape including a butyl tape or an adhesive based on butyl rubber.

[0030] In addition, the aforementioned drain (115) may be formed in a groove shape of a predetermined depth and provided to extend in the longitudinal direction of the base frame (110).

[0031] The above fixed frame (120) is formed at each edge of the base frame (110) and may be made of plastic, aluminum alloy, or magnesium alloy, similar to the base frame (110).

[0032] This fixed frame (120) is formed with a length corresponding to each side of the base frame (110), and is hinge-coupled to the edge of each side of the base frame (110) so as to be rotatable, so that when it rotates in the direction in which the base frame (110) is located, it is in a closed state, and when it rotates in the opposite direction, it is in an open state, and can be provided so as to wrap the upper surface of the edge of the solar cell module (10) in the closed state by rotating.

[0033] That is, the solar cell module (10) can be mounted by switching the fixed frame (120) to an open state, mounting the solar cell module (10) on the base frame (110), and then switching the fixed frame (120) to a closed state again.

[0034] In addition, the fixed frame (120) may be configured to include a hinge axis (123) for hinge coupling and a fixing member (125) that is fastened to the fixing hole (15) in a closed state to fix the solar cell module (10).

[0035] At this time, the aforementioned hinge axis (123) can be coupled to each edge of the base frame (110), and the aforementioned fixing member (125) can be formed in the shape of a pin, screw, or bolt and be provided at a position corresponding to the fixing hole (15) of the solar cell module (10).

[0036] The above fixed part (130) is mounted on the inside of the fixed frame (120) and provides elasticity so that the fixed frame (120) can rotate to maintain a closed or open state.

[0037] This fixed part (130) may be provided as a tension clip or a '⊂' shaped clip for providing elasticity, but is not limited thereto, and may be applied by being modified into various forms that can provide elasticity or fix the fixed frame (120).

[0038] In addition, the fixed part (130) can be fixed by being fastened to one end of the fixed frame (120) and the other end can be fastened to the base frame (110). For this purpose, a fastening protrusion (117) for fastening the fixed part (130) can be further formed on the base frame (110).

[0039] The above support plate (140) is attached to the back of the solar cell module (10) to support the solar cell module (10).

[0040] Such a support plate (140) can be adhered to an adhesive layer (13) formed on the back of a solar cell module (10), and can be fixed to a base frame (110) together with the solar cell module (10) to support the solar cell module (10) so that it is not bent or deformed.

[0041] Additionally, the support plate (140) may be formed in a plate shape or a mesh shape, but is not limited thereto.

[0042] In addition, it is preferable that the support plate (140) be formed to correspond to the width of the solar cell module (10) or to correspond to the area where the solar cell cells are located in the solar cell module (10).

[0043] As such, the frame (100) for a solar cell module according to one embodiment of the present invention can be installed by mounting the solar cell module (10) and then adhering it to the roof of a building or a TPO sheet (20), so that construction is easy, and when re-construction is required, the fixed frame (120) can be converted to an open state so that the solar cell module (10) can be separated without damage.

[0044] In addition, since the solar cell module (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention stably fixes the solar cell module (10) by the support plate (140) and the fixing member (125) of the fixing frame (120), deformation and damage of the solar cell module (10) can be prevented even when external force or strong wind pressure is applied.

[0045] In addition, the present invention can secure high durability while making it possible to reduce weight by using plastic, aluminum alloy or magnesium alloy as the material of the base frame (110) and the fixed frame (120), and if the support plate (140) is provided in a mesh shape, additional weight reduction can be achieved.

[0046] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above as examples, the scope of the present invention is not limited to these specific embodiments, and may be appropriately modified within the scope described in the claims.

[0047] The present invention can be utilized for the purpose of installing a solar cell module on the roof of a building or a TPO sheet installed on the roof.
