Description
A connection structure commonly used for photovoltaic systems and metal roofing systems Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of energy conservation, and in particular to a connection structure commonly used for a photovoltaic system and a metal roofing system. Background Art
[0002] With the vigorous advocacy of green building and energy conservation, more and more building roofs are adopting designs that combine photovoltaic systems and metal roof systems. However, the photovoltaic systems and metal roof systems in most buildings are independently installed, both using traditional steel structure brackets and installed on the concrete roof. The two are separated from each other and form independent structural systems. There is a lot of cross-interference in the construction of the two processes, which makes organization and coordination difficult. In addition, the connection between the steel structure bracket and the roof concrete is prone to rust, which damages the roof waterproofing structure and creates the risk of roof leakage. In addition, the independent installation of the photovoltaic system and the metal roof system reduces the overall stability of the roof structure. The self-weight and wind load of the roof system are all borne by the traditional steel structure bracket columns, which is not conducive to use in coastal areas with high wind loads.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

[0039] In the present invention, the embedded part 3 includes an embedded steel plate 3-1 and a plurality of anchor bars 3-2.

The embedded steel plate 3-1 is flush with the upper surface of the concrete pier 2, and the top of the embedded steel plate 3-1 is welded to the steel square tube 4-2 of the adapter.
[0040] In the present invention, the embedded parts 3, the adapters, the angle steels, the steel square tubes 4-2, and the main keels 7-1 of the metal roof are all processed by the hot-dip galvanizing process. Example
[0041] Concrete piers 2 are arranged on the roof panel 1, and the spacing between them is based on the roof deepening drawing (which can be 3000mm). Embedded parts 3 are buried in the concrete piers 2 and connected to the adapter; the adapter is arranged above the embedded part 3, and sealing material is filled between the adapter and the completed concrete protective layer 5-2; the beam 6-3 is located on the adapter and is connected to the adapter through the first angle steel 6-1. At the same time, the beam 6-3 is connected to the main keel 8-1 of the photovoltaic system and the main keel 7-1 of the metal roof; the main keel 8-1 of the photovoltaic system and the main keel 7-1 of the metal roof are both arranged perpendicular to the beam 6-3, the main keel 8-1 of the photovoltaic system is located above the beam 6-3, and is connected through the second angle steel 6-4. The main keel 7-1 of the metal roof is located on the side of the beam 6-3 and is directly welded.
[0042] The adapter consists of a steel square tube 4-2 and a steel plate 4-1. One end of the steel square tube 4-2 and the steel plate 4-1 are connected by welding to form an adapter, and the other end is welded and fixed to the embedded part 3. The top elevation height of the adapter is controlled by the length of the steel square tube 4-2, and the specific length is obtained through on-site measurement. An oblong hole 6-6 is provided on one side of the first angle steel 6-1, and the other side is connected to the adapter by welding. The crossbeam 6-3 is connected to the first angle steels 6-1 on both sides by stainless steel bolts 6-2 passing through the oblong hole 6-6. The height of the crossbeam 6-3 can be adjusted through the oblong hole 6-6, and then it is welded and fixed by steel gaskets 6-5; the second angle steel 6-4 is set on the crossbeam 6-3, and an oblong hole 6-6 is provided on one side, and the other side is welded and connected to the crossbeam 6-3. The main keel 8-1 of the photovoltaic system is connected to the second angle steels 6-4 on both sides by stainless steel bolts 6-2 passing through the oblong hole 6-6. The slope of the photovoltaic roof can be adjusted through the oblong hole 6-6, and then it is welded and fixed by steel gaskets 6-5.
[0043] The main purlin 8-1 of the photovoltaic system and the main purlin 7-1 of the metal roof are connected into a whole through the crossbeam 6-3, the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece, and then welded and fixed to the embedded parts 3 in the concrete pier 2 through the adapter, thereby realizing the sharing of the concrete pier 2 and greatly improving the stability and wind resistance of the entire roof system; by setting the concrete pier 2 and then connecting it with the embedded parts 3 through the adapter, not only the hidden danger of penetration caused by direct burial of the roof is reduced, but also the position and height of the crossbeam 6-3 can be adjusted through the adapter, avoiding the problem of high precision requirements and easy deviation of the embedded parts 3, reducing the difficulty of installation, and facilitating the fine-tuning and movement of the roof system, ensuring the installation accuracy of the photovoltaic system components and the metal roof system, and making both safer and more stable.
[0044] In this embodiment, concrete piers 2 are arranged in an orderly fashion at regular intervals and poured along with the roof concrete. Embedded components 3 are embedded within them, with their upper surfaces flush with the top surfaces of the concrete piers 2. The embedded steel plates 3-1 of the embedded components 3 are the same size and quantity as the cross-sectional dimensions of the concrete piers 2.
[0045] In this embodiment, the steel plate 4-1 of the adapter is fully welded to the steel square tube 4-2, and the steel square tube 4-2 is fully welded to the embedded part 3. The adapter is generally welded in the center of the embedded part 3. The position can be adjusted appropriately to reduce the horizontal deviation caused by embedding, and the elevation error can also be reduced by adjusting the length of the steel square tube 4-2 in the adapter.
[0046] In this embodiment, a waterproof membrane 5-1 and a sealing structure 5-3 are installed between the adapter and the embedded part 3. The adapter and embedded part 3 are fully welded to effectively prevent rainwater penetration. Two layers of waterproof membrane 5-1 are installed at the weld seam between the two, preventing rainwater from corroding the weld and further improving waterproof performance. A sealing structure 5-3 is installed between the adapter's steel plate 4-1 and the roof concrete protective layer 5-2. The sealing structure includes an inner foam rod and an outer sealant to prevent rainwater erosion and accumulation in gaps. The adapter, located on the concrete pier 2, avoids the risk of water penetration caused by an oversized embedded part 3. The embedded part 3 is taller than the concrete roof panel 1, reducing damage caused by rainwater erosion and improving the durability of the connection structure.
[0047] In this embodiment, the first angle steel 6-1 is relatively large in size, and an oblong hole 6-6 is provided in the vertical section of the first angle steel 6-1. The horizontal section of the first angle steel 6-1 is connected to the steel plate 4-1 of the adapter (the three edges of the contact surface are fully welded); the first angle steels 6-1 are arranged symmetrically, and the spacing between two adjacent first angle steels 6-1 on the same side is the width of the beam 6-3. A circular hole is provided in the middle position of the height of the beam 6-3. The stainless steel bolt 6-2 passes through the steel gasket 6-5, the oblong hole 6-6 and the circular hole to connect the beam 6-3 to the first angle steels 6-1 on both sides. After overall adjustment, the steel gasket 6-5 is welded to the first angle steel 6-1 for fixation. A second angle steel 6-4 is installed on the upper part of the beam 6-3. It is regularly arranged along the horizontal length direction of the beam 6-3 according to the width of the photovoltaic panels 8-3. The beam 6-3 is lengthened by inserting a steel insert at the position of the concrete pier 2. The second angle steel 6-4 is relatively small in size. An oblong hole 6-6 is provided in the vertical section of the second angle steel 6-4. The horizontal section of the second angle steel 6-4 is connected to the upper surface of the beam 6-3, and the three edges of the contact surface are fully welded. The distance between two adjacent second angle steels 6-4 is the width of the main keel 8-1 of the photovoltaic system.
[0048] In this embodiment, the main metal roof purlin 7-1 is arranged perpendicular to the cross beam 6-3, located on one side of the cross beam 6-3, with the upper surface flush, the cross-sectional dimensions of the two being consistent, and the four sides of the contact surface being fully welded; the horizontal metal roof secondary purlin is perpendicular to the main metal roof purlin 7-1, and the two are connected by welding, and the upper surfaces of the two are flush.
[0049] In this embodiment, the photovoltaic roof system components are connected to the crossbeam 6-3 through the second angle steel 6-4, and the main keel 8-1 of the photovoltaic system is set between the two second angle steels 6-4; a circular hole is opened at the middle position along the height of the main keel 8-1 of the photovoltaic system, and the stainless steel bolt 6-2 passes through the steel gasket 6-5, the oblong hole 6-6 of the second angle steel 6-4 and the circular hole to connect the main keel 8-1 of the photovoltaic system to the second angle steels 6-4 on both sides. After the overall adjustment, the steel gasket 6-5 is welded to the second angle steel 6-4 for fixation. The horizontal secondary keel 8-2 of the photovoltaic system is set perpendicular to the main keel 8-1 of the photovoltaic system, and the upper surface is flush.
[0050] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
