Abstract
A cell frame set, including a first frame and a second frame. The first frame includes a first side edge and a second side edge opposite to the first side edge; the first side edge and the second side edge of the first frame are provided with protruding structures. The second frame includes a first side edge and a second side edge opposite to the first side edge; the first side edge and the second side edge of the second frame are provided with fitting members. The protruding structure of the first frame forms a tight fit with the fitting member of the second frame.
