  • Patent number: 11811357
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a dismantling device configured for a frame of a PV module. The dismantling device includes a connection portion, a first holding portion, and a second holding portion. The first holding portion is connected to the connection portion and configured to press against one of an inner wall and outer wall of the frame. The second holding portion is slidably disposed on the connection portion and movably closer to or away from the first holding portion along a sliding direction. The second holding portion is configured to press against the other one of the inner wall and the outer wall so as to clamp the frame with the first holding portion and to distort the frame.

  • Patent number: 9251778
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a metal foil with microcracks includes placing a metal foil between a first material sheet and a second material sheet and then rolling them to form a plurality of microcracks in the metal foil. The microcracks are penetrating, and a sidewall of each of the microcracks is an irregular rough surface. Two ends of each of the microcracks are acute angles. A sound-absorbing structure includes at least one metal foil and a base plate kept at a distance from the metal foil, wherein at least one resonant cavity air layer is formed between the metal foil and the base plate by the distance, and the metal foil has microcracks.
