Description

A frame structure, a photovoltaic module and a construction method

[0001] The present application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 202411102963.2, filed on August 12, 2024, entitled "A frame structure, a photovoltaic module and a construction method", and to the Chinese patent application No. 202421945116.8, filed on August 12, 2024, entitled "A frame structure and a photovoltaic module", the contents of all of which are incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to the field of photovoltaic modules, in particular to a frame structure, a photovoltaic module and a construction method. BACKGROUND

[0003] As a core component of photovoltaic power generation, the main role of a photovoltaic module is to receive light and convert light energy into electrical energy. Since the photovoltaic module has an encapsulation structure, light needs to pass through the glass and adhesive film used for encapsulation before reaching the cell. Under the same light energy conversion rate, the more light energy received by the cell, the more power generated. When dust, water stains and other foreign matter adhere to the surface of the glass, additional scattering and refraction phenomena occur in the propagation of light, resulting in a loss of light, i.e., a reduction in the amount of light energy reaching the surface of the cell, and a reduction in the power generation of the photovoltaic module.

[0004] Currently, in order to enable the photovoltaic module to have the functions of preventing water accumulation and dust accumulation, thereby improving the power generation of the photovoltaic module, the frame structure is usually specially designed. Mode one is to cancel the short side A surface of the frame, i.e., the short side front surface of the frame does not have an edge of a laminated part; mode two is to cancel all the A surfaces of the frame for a full-screen design, i.e., all the front surfaces of the frame do not have an edge of a laminated part.

[0005] However, the frame structure of mode one has requirements for the installation mode of the module, and is only effective for vertically installed modules. Moreover, the above two frame structures support the back edges of the laminated part around, i.e., the frame has a C surface. This frame structure has a large shading area on the back surface of the photovoltaic module, and reduces the back surface efficiency of the laminated part of the photovoltaic module for double-sided power generation.

[0006] SUMMARY

[0007] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a frame structure, a photovoltaic module and a construction method, so that the module can achieve the functions of preventing water accumulation and dust accumulation in various installation states, and can improve the back surface efficiency, thereby improving the power generation efficiency of the module.

[0008] In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a frame structure for fixing a laminated part of a photovoltaic module, the frame structure comprising:

[0009] a base frame, the base frame comprising frame edges connected head to tail;

[0010] a plurality of fixing members for fixing the laminated component, the fixing members being dispersedly arranged along the length direction of the frame edges, the bottom of the fixing members being fixed on the frame edges, the top of the fixing members having supporting plates, the supporting plates of all the fixing members together forming a supporting surface for supporting the laminated component, the supporting surface being located above the base frame.

[0011] In the implementation process, the base frame and the fixing members are connected to form a frame structure, and the supporting surface formed by the supporting plates of the fixing members is used to support and fix the laminated component. The fixing members for supporting the laminated component are dispersedly arranged, and the gap between adjacent fixing members can ensure that the front surface of the laminated component is at least partially unobstructed and the back surface is partially unobstructed, so that the assembly can realize effective drainage and ash removal in various installation states (horizontal or vertical), achieve the functions of preventing water accumulation and ash accumulation, and solve the problem that the traditional photovoltaic assembly is prone to water and ash accumulation, affecting the power generation of the assembly. Since there is a gap between the supporting surface and the base frame, the base frame will not obstruct the laminated component, and the dispersed arrangement of the fixing members can ensure that the back surface of the laminated component is partially unobstructed, thereby improving the back surface efficiency and the power generation efficiency of the assembly.

[0012] In a possible implementation, the fixing member is selected from at least one of a first fixing member and a second fixing member, a cover plate is connected above the supporting plate of the first fixing member, the cover plate and the supporting plate form a containing groove for containing the edge portion of the laminated component, and the opening of the containing groove faces the frame-in direction of the base frame; the top of the supporting plate of the second fixing member is in an open form.

[0013] In the implementation process, the first fixing member or the second fixing member or a combination of the two can be freely selected according to requirements: the first fixing member with the cover plate forms a locking structure, has a good fixing effect on the laminated component, and can improve the back load reliability; the second fixing member does not obstruct the front surface of the laminated component, which not only improves the front surface efficiency, but also improves the effect of preventing water and ash accumulation. The water, ash and other impurities on the front surface of the laminated component can be cleaned not only from the edge of the base frame, but also from the edge of the second fixing member.

[0014] In a possible implementation, at least a part of the number of fixing members are the first fixing members.

[0015] In the implementation process, the frame structure matches the structure design of the conventional photovoltaic module, so that the module can realize the water accumulation prevention and dust accumulation prevention function in various installation states, and the back surface efficiency can be improved, thereby improving the power generation efficiency of the module.

[0016] In a possible implementation, the base frame body is rectangular, and the base frame body includes two long frame sides and two short frame sides, and the fixing members are arranged on the long frame sides and the short frame sides respectively.

[0018] In a possible implementation, at least part of the fixing members arranged on the long frame sides are the first fixing members.

[0019] In the implementation process, the first fixing members are used to fix the stress concentration areas of the laminated components, for example, the long frame sides, the first fixing members have A surfaces, that is, the front surfaces of the first fixing members can cover part of the edges of the laminated components, so that the fixing and protection effects of the laminated components are improved, and the back load reliability of the module is ensured. When the photovoltaic module is laminated and packaged, the laminated components are separated by the first fixing members, so that the occurrence of the broken boards due to the collision is reduced.

[0020] In a possible implementation, at least part of the fixing members arranged on the short frame sides are the second fixing members.

[0021] In the implementation process, the second fixing members are used to fix the areas with relatively small stress of the laminated components, for example, the short frame sides, the second fixing members do not block the front surfaces of the laminated components, the front surfaces of the laminated components are flush with or higher than the second fixing members, and the water, dust and other impurities can flow out from the edges, so that the module can realize the water accumulation prevention and dust accumulation prevention function in various installation states, the power generation efficiency of the module is improved, and the operation and maintenance cost of the module is reduced.

[0022] In a possible implementation, the bottom ends of part of the fixing members are connected with mounting plates, the mounting plates are located below the base frame body and extend to the inside of the base frame body, and mounting holes are arranged on the mounting plates.

[0023] In the implementation process, the fixing member is used to fix the laminated member, and the mounting plate and the mounting hole at the bottom end of the fixing member are used to mount the photovoltaic module.

[0024] In a possible implementation, the adjacent frame edges are connected by corner codes, the corner codes are sleeve-type corner codes, and the frame edges are inserted into the corner codes.

[0025] In the implementation process, the sleeve-type corner code has at least two functions: first, the connection between the adjacent frame edges is realized, and the connection strength is ensured; and second, the corners of the laminated member are protected, and the damage of the module corners to the panel is effectively reduced. In addition, the sleeve-type corner code ensures that the corner position has no sharp corner, and the corner grinding process can be omitted.

[0026] In a possible implementation, the bottom of the fixing member has a fixing tube, and the frame edges are inserted into the pipe of the fixing tube and fixed together.

[0027] And / or, the fixing member and the frame edge are detachably fixed to adjust the position of the fixing member on the frame edge.

[0028] In the implementation process, the fixing tube of the fixing member is designed in cooperation with the frame edge, so that the fixing effect of the fixing member on the frame edge is ensured, and the adjustable function of the fixing member on the frame edge is realized.

[0029] In a second aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a photovoltaic module, which comprises a laminated member and the frame structure provided in the first aspect, and the laminated member is located on the bearing surface of the frame structure and is fixed with the fixing member.

[0030] In the implementation process, the module can realize the water and dust accumulation prevention function in various installation states, and the back surface efficiency can be improved, so that the module power generation efficiency is improved.

[0031] In a third aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a construction method of the frame structure provided in the first aspect, which comprises the following steps:

[0032] S1, selecting a matching basic frame body according to the specification size of the laminated member;

[0033] S2, dispersing a plurality of fixing members for fixing the laminated member on the basic frame body.

[0034] In the implementation process, the matching basic frame body is selected according to the specification size of the laminated member, and the fixing member is arranged to fix the laminated member, so that the frame structure suitable for different laminated members can be constructed, and the fixing member in the frame structure can be universal, thereby saving materials.

[0035] In a possible implementation, the fixing member is arranged according to stress concentration at different positions of the edge of the laminated piece: if the position is a stress concentration area, a first fixing member is arranged; if the position is a non-stress concentration area, a second fixing member is arranged or no fixing member is arranged; wherein the cover plate is connected above the supporting plate of the first fixing member, and the cover plate and the supporting plate form a containing groove for containing the edge part of the laminated piece, and the opening of the containing groove faces the frame-in direction of the base frame; the supporting plate of the second fixing member is in an open form.

[0036] In the implementation process, different fixing members are arranged according to stress concentration of the laminated piece, which not only ensures the reliability of the back load of the assembly, but also improves the effect of preventing water and dust accumulation.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, the fixing piece is used for bearing and fixing the laminated piece 001, and the bottom and the top of the fixing piece refer to different positions of the fixing piece, and are not limited to the setting state of the fixing piece after installation; the fixing pieces are arranged in a scattered manner on the base frame to form a partial frame design, and at least the area frame without the fixing piece is free of the A surface and the area frame without the fixing piece is free of the C surface, that is, at least part of the front surface of the edge frame structure is free of the laminated piece 001, part of the back surface of the edge frame structure is free of the laminated piece 001, so that water and dust on the front surface of the laminated piece 001 can flow out of the edge frame from the vacancy in different installation states of the module, thereby achieving the purpose of waterproof and dustproof; and the back surface of the laminated piece 001 is partially unobstructed, thereby reducing the back surface obstruction of the bifacial module and improving the back surface efficiency of the module and reducing the operation and maintenance cost of the module.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, the “front surface” and the “back surface” of the laminated piece 001 refer to the two opposite surfaces of the laminated piece 001, and under normal circumstances, the “front surface” refers to the surface of the laminated piece 001 mainly receiving sunlight, and under normal circumstances, it faces the sun, and the “back surface” refers to the surface opposite to the front surface; for the bifacial module, the “back surface” can also receive sunlight and environmental scattered light to generate electricity. The “front surface” and the “back surface” of the edge frame structure also refer to the two opposite surfaces thereof, the “front surface” of the edge frame structure and the “front surface” of the laminated piece are the surfaces on the same side, and the “back surface” of the edge frame structure and the “back surface” of the laminated piece are the surfaces on the same side.

The structure of the corner code 150 connecting the frame edge is that the insertion part 152 is inserted into the frame edge, the groove accommodates the frame edge, and the effect of the frame edge being inserted into the sleeve part 151 is achieved, and the formed base frame is stable as a whole and does not affect the laminated parts. When the photovoltaic module is laminated and packaged, each laminated part 001 is separated by the fixing member, and does not need to be separated by corner paper. The present embodiment adjusts the traditional plug-in type corner code to a sleeve type corner code, avoids conventional risks such as corner seam misalignment, and uses the same fitting mode when assembling the frame edge, which is consistent with the assembly action of the existing frame assembling machine, thereby reducing the disturbance to the frame assembling machine.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, the fixing member is selected from at least one of a first fixing member and a second fixing member. Please refer to FIGS. 4, 5 and 8, the supporting plate 121 of the first fixing member is connected with a cover plate 122 above, and the specific connection mode is that the supporting plate 121 is the C face of the frame, the outer side of the supporting plate 121 is connected with a side plate 124, the side plate 124 is the B face of the frame, the side plate 124 is connected with the cover plate 122, the cover plate 122 is the A face of the frame, and the cover plate 122 and the side plate 124, the supporting plate 121 form a containing groove 123 for containing the edge part of the laminated part 001, the opening of the containing groove 123 faces the frame inner direction of the base frame, and the inner wall of the containing groove 123 can be provided with a design capable of increasing the fixing effect on the laminated part 001, such as a glue groove for containing glue or a pattern for increasing friction. In the present embodiment, a glue groove is provided on the inner wall of the cover plate 122. The supporting plate of the second fixing member is in an open form, i.e., there is no part covering the front of the laminated part 001 (no A face). In other embodiments, the cross section of the fixing member can be C-shaped or H-, S- or E-shaped.

Specifically, part of the number of fixing members are first fixing members, and the rest are second fixing members, or all of the fixing members are first fixing members. Specifically, at least part of the number of fixing members on the long frame edge 111 are first fixing members, and at least part of the number of fixing members on the short frame edge 112 are second fixing members. In other embodiments of the present application, the fixing members on each frame edge can be freely selected and combined, and the first fixing members are usually selected at the stress concentration position, and the first fixing members or the second fixing members can be selected at other positions.

[0067] In the present embodiment, all of the fixing members are first fixing members. Specifically, three first fixing members are arranged on each long frame edge 111, and two first fixing members are arranged on each short frame edge 112.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present application, please refer to FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, the bottom end of part of the number of fixing members is connected with a mounting plate 131, the mounting plate 131 is located below the base frame and extends to the inside of the base frame, the mounting plate 131 is provided with a mounting hole 132, the fixing member with the mounting plate 131 is a mounting member, and the fixing member without the mounting plate 131 is a fastening member. As an optional implementation, part of the number of fixing members located on the long frame edge 111 are connected with the mounting plate 131, the mounting member is designed as a C-face mounting hole 132, and the mounting hole 132 meets the use standard.

[0070] Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7. In the present embodiment, the first fixing members located at both ends of each long frame edge 111 are provided with the mounting plate 131, which are the first mounting members 130, and the first fixing members located in the middle and the first fixing members on the short frame edge 112 are not provided with the mounting plate 131, which are the first fastening members 140.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, the bottom of the fixing member has a fixing tube, the frame edge passes through the pipe of the fixing tube and is fixed together, as an implementation, the inner wall of the pipe of the fixing tube has a protruding fixing point to increase the positioning effect between the fixing tube and the frame edge, in the present embodiment, the fixing tube corresponds to the inner wall of the supporting plate 121, and two fixing points are respectively arranged on the opposite inner walls thereof; the fixing member and the frame edge are fixed in a detachable manner to adjust the position of the fixing member on the frame edge, for example, the fixing manner between the frame edge and the fixing tube can be wedge fixing, rivet fixing and rivet fixing, etc. In the present embodiment, the frame edge is a rectangular tube, the fixing member is an aluminum profile, and the fixing tube at the bottom matches the frame edge of the rectangular tube. The frame edge adopts the size of the national standard rectangular tube, reduces the supply chain pressure, and improves the overall rigidity of the assembly by using high-strength steel as the main support body.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present application, the height of the fixing member can be designed to be consistent with the height of the conventional aluminum alloy frame, the height of the fixing member is greater than the height of the base frame and the corner code 150, and the assembly corner part does not directly contact during the packaging process, which can avoid the use of paper corner protection.

[0073] The present embodiment simplifies the original frame structure, and a first fixing member is arranged on the base frame, specifically, a first mounting member 130 and a first fastener 140 are added to the long frame edge 111, and a first fastener 140 is added to the short frame edge 112, to form a combined frame. The long frame edge 111 is composed of a long frame edge 111, two first fixing members (first mounting members 130) with mounting plates 131, and one first fixing member (first fastener 140) without a mounting plate 131; the short frame edge 112 is composed of a short frame edge 112, two first fixing members (first fasteners 140) without mounting plates 131, and two sleeve type corner codes 150.

[0074] The present embodiment can flexibly adjust the frame structure according to the size of the photovoltaic assembly, the use scene and other factors to meet the needs of users. The selection, position and number of the first fixing member and the second fixing member, and the position and number of the mounting member and the fastener can be increased or reduced as needed to ensure the reliability of the photovoltaic assembly and the installation needs of customers.

[0075] The frame structure of the present embodiment can be prepared by pre-fabrication and assembly: the long frame edge 111 part and the short frame edge 112 part are pre-fabricated at the frame factory, and the existing frame assembling machine is slightly modified (clamping aluminum alloy segments) during the frame assembly process, which is basically consistent with the existing process.

[0076] The embodiment also provides a photovoltaic module, which comprises the laminate 001 and the frame structure of the foregoing embodiment, and the laminate 001 is located on the bearing surface of the frame structure and is fixed together with the fixing member.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present application, the laminate 001 and the fixing member can be fixed by bolts, pressing blocks or adhesive according to actual conditions and requirements. The installation mode of the photovoltaic module as a whole is consistent with that of the existing mass-produced module, and the photovoltaic module can be installed by using a beam or a pressing block.

[0078] In the embodiment, the frame structures are all arranged in the same manner (the fixing member is arranged at the same position on the base frame), and when the photovoltaic modules are packed, all the packing tapes are arranged on the short frame edge 112, which is arranged in 4 horizontal rows and 5 vertical rows. The position of the short frame edge 112 on the outer box needs to be marked to ensure the position accuracy of the packing tape. Due to the isolation effect of the fixing member, the laminate 001 is separated after packing. The height of the fixing member is greater than the height of the base frame and the corner code 150, so the modules are not in direct contact at the corner during the packing process, and the use of paper corner guards can be avoided. There is no glue on the corners of the modules, so the risk of secondary overflow of glue can be avoided when the modules are fastened, and therefore the modules can be packed with the glass facing inward, thereby reducing the risk of module panel explosion. The base frames (for example, the magnesium-aluminum-zinc plated steel) are not in contact with each other, so that the contact blackening of the base frames can be avoided. The size of the module is consistent with that of the mass-produced module under the condition that the laminate 001 is the same.

[0079] In addition, the embodiment of the present application provides a construction method of the frame structure of the foregoing embodiment, which comprises the following steps:

[0080] S1, selecting a base frame matched with the size of the laminate 001.

[0081] In the present application, the shape of the base frame can be the same as or different from that of the laminate 001, but the base frame affects the arrangement position of the fixing member, thereby affecting the fixing effect of the fixing member on the laminate 001.
