  • Publication number: 20240113242
    Abstract: The photovoltaic module includes multiple cell sheets arranged in an array including multiple rows and multiple columns, where each of the multiple rows of cell sheets is arranged at intervals along a first direction, each of the multiple columns of cell sheets is arranged at intervals along a second direction, and each of the multiple cell sheets has a first surface and a second surface. The photovoltaic module further includes a first flexible cover layer located on a side of the first surface of each of the multiple cell sheets, and a second flexible cover layer located on a side of the second surface of each of the multiple cell sheets. The photovoltaic module is configured to be folded along a gap between two adjacent rows of cell sheets or along a gap between two adjacent columns of cell sheets with the folding angle of 0 degree to 180 degrees.

  • Patent number: 9797248
    Abstract: A constant-resistance and large deformation anchor cable and a constant-resistance device are provided. The constant-resistance and large deformation anchor cable comprises cables (7), an anchoring device (13), a loading plate (12) and clipping sheets (4). The upper end of cables (7) is fixed on the anchoring device (13) and the loading plate (12) by clipping sheets (4). The constant-resistance and large deformation anchor cable also comprises a constant-resistance device, and the constant-resistance device comprises a sleeve (8) and a constant-resistance body (5). The sleeve (8) is a straight tube. The constant-resistance body is conical, and the diameter of the lower end of the constant-resistance body is bigger than the diameter of the upper end of the constant-resistance body. The inner diameter of the sleeve (8) is smaller than the diameter of the lower end of the constant-resistance body.
