[0037] The term "plurality" used in the present application refers to two or more (including two).

[0038] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 5 A photovoltaic assembly positioning device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0039] According to the photovoltaic assembly positioning device 100 of the embodiment of the present application, it includes: a clamping assembly 10 and a gap adjustment assembly 20, wherein the clamping assembly 10 is used to clamp the photovoltaic panel 200 to align the edges of adjacent photovoltaic panels 200, and the gap adjustment assembly 20 is used to adjust the gap between adjacent photovoltaic panels 200.

[0040] The clamping assembly 10 includes two clamping parts 11 arranged relative to each other in a first direction, and the two clamping parts 11 are suitable for moving toward or away from each other, and can selectively clamp two adjacent photovoltaic panels 200 so that the edges of the two photovoltaic panels 200 are aligned. The gap adjustment assembly 20 is connected to the clamping assembly 10, and the gap adjustment assembly 20 is located in the gap between adjacent photovoltaic panels 200, and the gap adjustment assembly 20 has a slider 21 movable in a second direction, and the slider 21 is suitable for moving along the second direction to adjust the gap between adjacent photovoltaic panels 200. The first direction is orthogonal to the second direction.

[0041] Specifically, the photovoltaic assembly may include a plurality of photovoltaic panels 200, which may be arranged in a row in the second direction, and the two clamping portions 11 are arranged opposite to each other in the first direction, and the two clamping portions 11 are suitable for pushing two adjacent photovoltaic panels 200 on both sides of the photovoltaic panel 200 in the first direction, so that the two side edges of the adjacent photovoltaic panels 200 in the first direction can be aligned.

[0042] Furthermore, adjacent photovoltaic panels 200 have a gap in the second direction, and the gap adjustment component 20 can extend into the gap between adjacent photovoltaic panels 200. The slider 21 of the gap adjustment component 20 can slide in the second direction. Correspondingly, the slider 21 can be defined to have an initial position. When the slider 21 is in the initial position, the gap adjustment component 20 is extended into the gap between adjacent photovoltaic panels 200, and the position of the slider 21 is adjusted. If the slider 21 also has a standard position, when the slider 21 moves to the standard position, the gap between adjacent photovoltaic panels 200 meets the requirements, and the slider 21 can be adjusted to the standard position. Then, based on the standard position, the position of the photovoltaic panel 200 is adjusted in the second direction to achieve gap adjustment of the photovoltaic panel 200.

[0043] Of course, the adjustment method is not limited to this. The initial position of the slider 21, that is, the standard position, can also be adjusted directly after the gap adjustment component 20 is extended into the gap. If the gap adjustment component 20 cannot be extended, the gap size is adjusted first, and after it is extended, the gap size is further adjusted to an appropriate size.

[0044] At the same time, it should be pointed out that in the technical solution where multiple photovoltaic panels 200 are arranged in rows in the second direction and in columns in the first direction, the alignment of the edges on both sides in the first direction can also be achieved by flipping the positioning device 100 of the embodiment of the present application.

[0045] Furthermore, the clamping assembly 10 is connected to the gap adjustment assembly 20 , so that during the alignment operation and gap adjustment operation of the positioning device 100 , the assembly steps of the positioning device 100 are reduced and the assembly convenience is higher.

[0046] According to the photovoltaic assembly positioning device 100 of the embodiment of the present application, the alignment operation is achieved by setting the clamping assembly 10, and the gap adjustment is achieved by setting the gap adjustment assembly 20, which can reduce the difficulty of alignment and gap adjustment during the photovoltaic assembly process and improve the assembly efficiency of the photovoltaic assembly.

[0047] According to some embodiments of the present application, the clamping assembly 10 further includes a connecting rod 12 , both of the two clamping parts 11 are connected to the connecting rod 12 , and at least one of the clamping parts 11 can move relative to the other clamping part 11 .

[0048] Specifically, the two clamping parts 11 can be constructed as two clamps, and at least one of the two clamps is constructed as a movable clamp so that the distance between the two clamps can be adjusted based on the size of different photovoltaic panels 200, thereby improving the applicability and adaptation range of the positioning device 100.

[0049] It should be pointed out that at least one clamping portion 11 can move relative to another clamping portion 11, which means that both clamping portions 11 can be constructed as movable structures, or the two clamping portions 11 can be respectively fixed at both ends of the connecting rod 12, and the connecting rod 12 is constructed as a movable structure, so that the two clamping portions 11 can move toward or away from each other.

[0050] In some embodiments, the connecting rod 12 is configured as a telescopic rod.

[0051] Specifically, in some embodiments, the two clamping parts 11 are respectively fixed at the two ends of the connecting rod 12, and the connecting rod 12 is constructed as a telescopic rod, so that the distance between the two clamping parts 11 can be adjusted by telescoping the connecting rod 12. This can not only adapt to photovoltaic panels 200 of more specifications and sizes, but also make the alignment operation of the clamping assembly 10 less difficult and more convenient to operate.

[0052] It is understandable that the connecting rod 12 of the embodiment of the present application can also be constructed as a sleeve structure, or the rods are connected by a pin structure, and can also achieve the same length adjustment effect as the telescopic rod, which will not be repeated here.

[0053] Of course, the structure of the clamping assembly 10 in the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, according to some embodiments of the present application, at least one clamping portion 11 is slidably disposed on the connecting rod 12 .

[0054] Specifically, see Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the connecting rod 12 has a first end and a second end, a clamping portion 11 is fixed on the first end, and the second end is constructed as a plain rod or a threaded rod. A through hole is provided on the clamping portion 11 arranged on the second end, and the tightening portion is penetrated through the through hole at the second end so that the two clamping portions 11 can move toward or away from each other. The technical effect is consistent with the technical solution that the connecting rod 12 is constructed as a telescopic rod, which will not be repeated here.

[0055] Of course, the first end and the second end of the connecting rod 12 can both be constructed as a plain rod or a threaded rod, and a through hole is provided on the clamping portion 11 thereon so that the clamping portion 11 can be slidably disposed on the connecting rod 12 .

[0056] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a first limiting structure 13 is provided on the connecting rod 12 to limit the movement of the clamping part 11 away from the other clamping part 11 .

[0057] Specifically, in an embodiment in which the connecting rod 12 is constructed as a bare rod and the clamping portion 11 is slidably disposed on the connecting rod 12, the first limiting structure 13 can be constructed as a fixing pin, and the connecting rod 12 is provided with insertion holes spaced apart in a row. After the clamping portion 11 moves to a suitable position and tightens the photovoltaic panel 200, the fixing pin is inserted into the insertion hole to limit the clamping portion 11, thereby improving the clamping stability and reliability of the clamping portion 11. In an embodiment in which the connecting rod 12 is constructed as a threaded rod, the first limiting structure 13 can be constructed as a nut, and the relative movement of the clamping portion 11 can be achieved by tightening or loosening the nut.

[0058] Therefore, by providing the first limiting structure 13 , the fixing stability of the clamping portion 11 in the clamping position is higher, and the alignment effect of the photovoltaic panel 200 is better.

[0059] It should be pointed out that a flexible layer may be provided on the sides of the two clamping parts 11 facing each other to prevent the clamping force from being too large and causing damage to the photovoltaic panel 200 .

[0060] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the gap adjustment assembly 20 includes: a fixed block 22, the fixed block 22 has a receiving cavity, and the slider 21 is slidably disposed in the receiving cavity.

[0061] That is to say, the fixed block 22 is constructed as a cavity structure, and the cavity defines a receiving cavity. The slider 21 is arranged in the receiving cavity, and the extension length of the slider 21 out of the receiving cavity is adjusted to achieve the gap adjustment of adjacent photovoltaic panels 200, thereby reducing the difficulty of gap adjustment of the photovoltaic panels 200 and improving assembly efficiency.

[0062] In some embodiments, the fixed block 22 and the slider 21 are connected by bolts to prevent the slider 21 from being out of fit with the fixed block 22, thereby improving the fit stability and reliability between the fixed block 22 and the slider 21. In other embodiments, the fixed block 22 and the slider 21 can also be connected by gear meshing or chain. On the premise of achieving reliable connection, the position adjustment of the slider 21 relative to the fixed block 22 is simpler and more convenient.

[0063] like Figure 4 As shown, further, the fixing block 22 is provided with a first connecting through hole 221 , the sliding block 21 is provided with a second connecting through hole 211 , and the connecting rod 12 passes through the first connecting through hole 221 and the second connecting through hole 211 .

[0064] In this way, the connecting rod 12 is penetrated by the fixing block 22 and the slider 21, so that the gap adjustment component 20 and the clamping component 10 can be assembled into one, which can reduce the adjustment difficulty of the positioning device 100 and the positioning difficulty, thereby further improving the assembly efficiency.

[0065] Further, at least one of the first connecting through hole 221 and the second connecting through hole is configured as a waist hole.

[0066] Therefore, by constructing the first connecting through hole 221 and / or the second connecting through hole 211 as waist holes, the slider 21 can slide along the second direction relative to the fixed block 22, while realizing the connection between the gap adjustment assembly 20 and the clamping assembly 10, interference between the clamping assembly 10 and the gap adjustment assembly 20 can be avoided.

[0067] Furthermore, the gap adjustment assembly 20 further includes a second limiting structure 23 , which is disposed at an end of the fixing block 22 and is suitable for selectively fixing the sliding block 21 .

[0068] Specifically, the second limiting structure 23 is arranged at the end of the fixed block 22. The end of the fixed block 22 can be provided with a threaded hole. The second limiting structure 23 is constructed as a bolt and is threadedly matched with the threaded hole. The head of the bolt is suitable for pushing against the slider 21 to achieve fixed limiting of the slider 21, so that the slider 21 can stay in a suitable position, reducing the difficulty of gap adjustment and improving the assembly efficiency of the photovoltaic module.

[0069] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, a scale 24 is provided on the slider 21. Thus, the value of the scale 24 on the slider 21 can be read based on the gap size to be adjusted, and adjustment can be made based on the value of the scale 24, which can improve the adjustment precision and accuracy.
