Definitions
- the present invention relates particularly to at least one frame having at least one flap wherein a solar panel is at least partially positioned.
- Solar panels are systems which generate electricity or heat by utilizing the energy carried by solar rays.
- the solar panels In areas where hot water is obtained or in electricity generation plants (in usages connected to the supply, in usages independent from the supply or in individual usages), the solar panels stand on roofs and on constructions in fields or in other words, they stand on metal frame and carrier systems, and they are assembled by means of connection elements. These form at least 65-70% of the investment cost and carry the solar panels. Thus, they are at least as important as the selection of solar panel in lifetime and advantage expectations of the installed plant.
- the carrier frame and the connection elements must not be considered only as metal or material, and it shall be taken into consideration that the carrier system is an engineering project and construction application. Since engineering is significant from the design of carrier frames to the production and up to the assembly applications in the field, even a small fault which may occur in these steps may lead to inefficiency of the installed plant and increase of the costs. In the known applications, carrier frames are costly structures and since a separate carrier frame is needed for each solar panel, carrier frames have an important part of the installation cost.
- the solar panel frames known in the present art are produced by means of aluminum extrusion method. In this method, an impractical production structure occurs since mold costs are high and since separate mold design is needed for each product group. Product sizes may not always be the same. In this case, new mold designs and new mold productions are needed for production and this leads to additional labor and material costs.
- the present invention relates to a frame, for eliminating the abovementioned disadvantages and for bringing new advantages to the related technical field.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a frame with increased resistance and with facilitated production.
- the present invention is particularly at least one frame having at least one flap wherein the solar panel is at least partially positioned.
- the improvement of the present invention is that the subject matter frame comprises at least one carrier profile which has a shape in a manner forming at least one panel gap on said flap in order to provide at least partial placement of the solar panel, at least one inner profile positioned for forming at least one assembly gap essentially at the lower vicinity of said carrier profile, and at least one outer profile configured to encircle said inner profile and said carrier profile and to provide movement thereof together.
- At least one carrier profile first edge, positioned on the carrier profile, is bent in a manner at least partially encircling at least one outer profile first edge positioned on the outer profile.
- the carrier profile is connected to the outer profile and they form a whole.
- At least one carrier profile third edge, positioned on the carrier profile is bent in a manner at least partially encircling at least one inner profile first edge positioned on the inner profile.
- the carrier profile is connected to the inner profile and they are moved together.
- At least one outer profile third edge, positioned on the outer profile is bent in a manner at least partially encircling at least one inner profile third edge positioned on the inner profile.
- the inner profile is connected to the outer profile and they are moved together.
- At least one connection hole is formed in a concentric manner on said inner profile third edge and said outer profile third edge.
- the flaps are positioned with each other or to a predetermined location.
- the inner profile, the outer profile and the carrier profile provided on the flap are made of steel-based material. Thus, the resistance of the flap against the external impacts and stresses is increased.
- the outer profile is engaged in a manner encircling the inner profile and the carrier profile, and the carrier profile first edge is at least partially bent on the outer profile first edge, and the carrier profile third edge is at least partially bent on the inner profile first edge, and the outer profile third edge is at least partially bent on the inner profile third edge.
