Abstract

An aluminum frame structure for packaging solar panel, comprising: a vertical support member; an U-shaped member, coupled to the vertical support member while allowing the opening of the U-shaped member to face toward a level direction; and at least one protruding member, disposed inside the U-shaped member, each having at least one protrusion arranged at the opening of the U-shaped member and at a position neighboring to the vertical support member while allowing the gap between the highest point of the at least one protrusion and an imaginary line representing the contact slope to be formed larger than the thickness of the back film, and also enabling the contact area of the at least one protrusion and the contact slope to be at least larger than 50% of the area of the contact slope.

Claims (14)

1. An aluminum frame structure and solar panel packaging assembly, comprising:

a solar panel, comprising a lamination of glass covers and solar cell glasses packaged by a packaging material, wherein the packaging material forms a contact slope around the periphery of the lamination of glass covers and solar cell glasses, and when ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and a back film is used as a filling material, the EVA is filled and sandwiched between the glass covers and the solar cell glasses while allowing the contact slope and the glass covers to be sealed by the back film; and

an the aluminum frame structure, comprising:

a vertical support member;

an U-shaped member, coupled to the vertical support member while allowing an opening of the U-shaped member to face toward a horizontal direction; and

at least one protruding member, disposed inside the U-shaped member and integrally formed with said U-shaped member, said at least one protruding member having at least one protrusion arranged at the opening of the U-shaped member and at a position neighboring the vertical support member, and also having a contact area of the at least one protrusion and the contact slope that is at least larger than 50% of an area of the contact slope;

wherein, the solar panel is framed inside the U-shaped member of the aluminum frame structure.

2. The aluminum frame structure and solar panel packaging assembly of claim 1 , wherein the U-shaped member has a butyl filling material filled therein.

3. The aluminum frame structure and solar panel packaging assembly of claim 1 , wherein there are two protruding members disposed inside the U-shaped member.

4. The aluminum frame structure and solar panel packaging assembly of claim 2 , wherein there are two protruding members disposed inside the U-shaped member.

5. The aluminum frame structure and solar panel packaging assembly of claim 1 , wherein there are a plurality of protruding members disposed inside the U-shaped member.

6. The aluminum frame structure and solar panel packaging assembly of claim 2 , wherein there are a plurality of protruding members disposed inside the U-shaped member.

7. The aluminum frame structure and solar panel packaging assembly of claim 3 , wherein there are a plurality of protruding members disposed inside the U-shaped member.

8. The aluminum frame structure and solar panel packaging assembly of claim 4 , wherein there are a plurality of protruding members disposed inside the U-shaped member.
