Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic systems, and in particular relates to a photovoltaic component installation structure and a photovoltaic system. Background Art

[0002] Photovoltaic (PV) is the abbreviation of solar photovoltaic power generation system (photovoltaic power system), which is a new power generation system that uses the photovoltaic effect of solar cell semiconductor materials to directly convert solar radiation energy into electrical energy.

[0003] In practical applications, double-glass photovoltaic modules are used in photovoltaic building integrated BIPV systems. Photovoltaic modules can be used to replace the original building roof, so that the building can not only have conventional building functions, but also generate electricity for its own use or feed back into the power grid, making the building an energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and clean energy-generating BIPV integrated building.

[0004] Using photovoltaic modules to replace the original building roof requires a good combination of double-glass photovoltaic modules and building structure, and a good waterproof design. Figure 1 As shown, the photovoltaic panels are installed on a roof structure, with a W-shaped gutter serving as a secondary beam, guiding water and supporting the double-glass photovoltaic panel. It is secured with a top block and self-tapping screws, which penetrate the top block and the center steel plate of the W-shaped gutter. The two wings of the W-shaped gutter are secured to the support blocks with self-tapping screws, which are then bolted to the main beam. Because the self-tapping screws penetrate the upper center and sides of the W-shaped gutter, sealant can be applied to seal the perforations. However, prolonged exposure to outdoor conditions can easily degrade the sealant, leading to potential leaks. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0028] In the embodiment of the present invention, a water channel is installed below a photovoltaic module. The water channel extends along an adjacent edge of the photovoltaic module and has an opening. The connecting component extends from the opening into the water channel and is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the water channel. The mounting component is then connected to the target object and the ear canal. The water channel assembly can then be installed on the target object. The target object, the water channel, and the connecting component connect and support the photovoltaic module, completing the installation of the photovoltaic module. Since the water channel does not require drilling or piercing for installation, water leakage is avoided, eliminating the risk of water leakage.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a photovoltaic module installation structure, including:

[0031] The water guide assembly 100 includes a water guide channel 110 disposed below the photovoltaic assembly 400 and an ear canal 120 disposed on the outer surface of the water guide channel 110. The water guide channel 110 is provided with an opening extending along the adjacent edges of two adjacent photovoltaic assemblies 400.

[0032] A connection assembly 200 connected to two adjacent photovoltaic assemblies 400; and

[0033] a mounting assembly 300 connecting the target mounting object 500 and the ear canal 120;

[0034] The portion of the connecting assembly 200 located below the photovoltaic assembly 400 extends from the opening into the water-conducting channel 110 and is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the water-conducting channel 110 .

[0035] During implementation, the photovoltaic module 400 refers to a solar cell panel. The photovoltaic module 400 is the core part of a solar power generation system. The photovoltaic module 400 converts solar energy into electrical energy and sends it to a battery for storage or drives a load to work.

[0036] Optionally, the target installation object 500 can be regarded as a location where the photovoltaic assembly 400 needs to be installed and fixed. For example, when the photovoltaic assembly 400 needs to be installed and fixed on a roof, the target installation object 500 can be a beam, which is not limited here.

[0037] In some embodiments, the water guide assembly 100 is provided with a water guide channel 110, which can be used to temporarily store water and guide the water to a designated location. During implementation, the water guide channel 110 is installed below the photovoltaic assembly 400. Optionally, the water guide channel 110 is installed below a photovoltaic assembly 400 or below the junction of two adjacent photovoltaic assemblies 400, preferably below the junction of two adjacent photovoltaic assemblies 400.

[0038] The water channel 110 is provided with an opening that extends along the adjacent edge of two adjacent photovoltaic modules 400. Specifically, the adjacent edge of two adjacent photovoltaic modules 400 is the edge where the two adjacent photovoltaic modules 400 intersect. Optionally, the water channel 110 is in the shape of a hollow elongated cylinder with a U-shaped cross-section, wherein the length direction of the water channel 110 is parallel to the adjacent edge of the two adjacent photovoltaic modules 400, and the opening of the water channel 110 is directly opposite the adjacent edge of the two adjacent photovoltaic modules 400.

[0039] The connecting assembly 200 is connected to two adjacent photovoltaic modules 400, and the portion of the connecting assembly 200 located below the photovoltaic modules 400 extends from the opening of the water channel 110 into the water channel 110. During implementation, the connecting assembly 200 is also fixedly connected to the inner surface of the water channel 110. At this time, the water channel 110 and the connecting assembly 200 work together to support and securely install the photovoltaic modules 400.

[0040] In some embodiments, the connection assembly 200 can be designed to be connected to the photovoltaic assembly 400 at one end and to the water channel 110 at the other end. For example, the connection assembly 200 is T-shaped, wherein the upper sides of the T-shape are respectively connected to the edges of two adjacent photovoltaic assemblies 400. For example, the upper portion of the T-shaped connection assembly 200 is a bearing surface, and the lower surface of the photovoltaic assembly 400 can be fixed to the bearing surface by glue or screw locking. Sealing can be performed between two adjacent photovoltaic assemblies 400, for example, by applying sealant or embedding a sealing strip between the two adjacent photovoltaic assemblies 400 to achieve sealing. The lower part of the T-shaped connecting component 200 extends into the water guiding channel 110 and is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the water guiding channel 110. For example, the lower part of the T-shaped connecting component 200 extends into the water guiding channel 110 and is fixedly connected to the side wall and / or bottom inner surface of the water guiding channel 110. For example, a locking groove is provided on the inner surface of the water guiding channel 110, and the part of the connecting component 200 extending into the water guiding channel 110 can be embedded in the locking groove for fixation; or a locking protrusion is provided on the inner surface of the water guiding channel 110, and the part of the connecting component 200 extending into the water guiding channel 110 is provided with a groove that cooperates with the locking protrusion. The locking protrusion and the groove cooperate to achieve the fixed connection between the connecting component 200 and the inner surface of the water guiding channel 110. On the one hand, the water channel 110 supports the connecting component 200 and then supports the photovoltaic component 400. On the other hand, the opening of the water channel 110 is below the two adjacent photovoltaic components 400. Even if the seal between the two adjacent photovoltaic components 400 fails and leaks, the water will still flow into the water channel 110 and then be guided by the water channel to be discharged to the designated location.

[0041] In some possible embodiments, the connection assembly 200 and the photovoltaic assembly 400 may also be connected in other ways, such as the T-shaped connection assembly 200 described above, where the upper portion of the T-shaped connection assembly 200 is placed on the upper surface of the photovoltaic assembly 400, and then the upper portion of the T-shaped connection assembly 200 and the photovoltaic assembly 400 are connected by glue or screws. Alternatively, the connection assembly 200 may be designed as a clamping structure, for example, the connection assembly 200 may be designed as a "stem"-shaped structure, with the two sides of the connection assembly 200 respectively clamping an edge of a photovoltaic assembly 400. It should be noted that the connection assembly 200 may also adopt other structural forms, as long as it can connect to the photovoltaic assembly 400, and this is not limited here.

[0042] Optionally, in some possible embodiments, the connection assembly 200 can be divided into two parts to respectively connect to two adjacent photovoltaic modules 400. For example, the connection assembly 200 can be designed into two T-shaped structures as described above, with the upper portion of each T-shaped structure being a bearing surface, which is used to connect to the lower surface of a photovoltaic module 400, and the lower portions of the two T-shaped structures both extending into the water channel 110 and abutting against the inner surface of the water channel 110 for fixed connection. Optionally, the connection structure and implementation principle of the connection assembly 200 with the photovoltaic module 400 and the water channel 110 can refer to the structure and implementation principle of the connection assembly 200 described above, and will not be described in detail here.

[0043] Optionally, the water guide assembly 100 is installed on the target object 500 via the mounting assembly 300. In some embodiments, the mounting assembly 300 may utilize a detachable connection structure, such as a snap-fit ​​structure, to connect the ear canal 120 and the target object 500 via the snap-fit ​​structure, thereby securing the water guide assembly 100 to the target object 500. In other embodiments, the mounting assembly 300 may also utilize a fixed connection method to connect the ear canal 120 and the target object 500. For example, the mounting assembly 300 may utilize a bolt, self-tapping screw, or screw, which secures the ear canal 120 to the target object 500, thereby securing the water guide assembly 100 to the target object 500. It should be noted that the connection between the mounting assembly 300 and the ear canal 120 does not disrupt the overall structure of the water guide channel 110, i.e., it is not necessary to pierce the water guide channel 110, thereby preventing leakage due to perforation of the water guide channel 110.

[0044] In some possible embodiments, the installation component 300 can also be a structure or component set on the target installation object 500. For example, taking the target installation object 500 as a beam, the installation component 300 can be designed as a groove on the beam. During installation, the water guide component 100 can be embedded in the groove on the beam to realize the water guide component 100 and the target installation object 500.

[0045] In this embodiment of the present invention, a water channel 110 is installed below a photovoltaic module 400. The water channel 110 has an opening extending along the adjacent edge of the photovoltaic module 400. The connecting assembly 200 partially extends into the water channel 110 through the opening and abuts against the inner surface of the water channel 110 to be fixedly connected. The mounting assembly 300 then connects the target object 500 and the ear canal 120. This allows the water channel assembly 100 to be installed on the target object 500. The target object 500, the water channel 110, and the connecting assembly 200 connect and support the photovoltaic module 400, completing the installation of the photovoltaic module 400. Since the water channel 110 does not require drilling or piercing for installation, water leakage is avoided, eliminating the risk of water leakage.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] In some optional embodiments, the connection assembly 200 in the photovoltaic assembly installation structure provided in the present application includes a positioning member 210 and a connection member 220;

[0048] The locking member 210 includes a connecting portion 211 and a lower tongue portion 212 . The connecting portion 211 is connected to the photovoltaic module 400 through the connecting member 220 . The lower tongue portion 212 extends into the water guide channel 110 and cooperates with the inner side wall of the water guide channel 110 to be fixedly connected.

[0049] During implementation, the positioning member 210 includes two sections, one of which is a connecting portion 211 and the other is a lower tongue portion 212, wherein the connecting portion 211 is connected to the photovoltaic component 400 through the connecting member 220, and the lower tongue portion 212 is connected to the water guide channel 110. Specifically, the water guide channel 110 includes a bottom and side walls formed by extending upward from both ends of the bottom. The cross-section of the bottom and the two side walls is U-shaped, and the side walls gradually incline toward the other side wall from the side close to the bottom to the side away from the bottom. At this time, the cross-section of the water guide channel 110 is a trapezoid with a small top and a large bottom, and the lower tongue portion 212 is pressed against the inner surface of the side wall and pressed against the inner surface of the bottom to achieve a fixed connection with the inner surface of the water guide channel 110.

[0050] In some optional embodiments, the connecting member 220 is a locking top bolt, the photovoltaic assembly 400 is provided with a through hole for the screw rod of the locking top bolt to pass through, and the retaining member 210 is provided with a threaded hole that cooperates with the screw rod of the locking top bolt.

[0051] During implementation, the locking top bolt can be a common bolt on the market, wherein the locking top bolt includes a head and a screw rod, and the screw rod is provided with an external thread.

[0052] Optionally, the photovoltaic component 400 is provided with a through hole, the retaining member 210 is provided with a threaded hole, and an internal thread is provided in the threaded hole. During installation, the screw of the locking top bolt can pass through the through hole of the photovoltaic component 400, and then the screw is threadedly connected with the threaded hole of the retaining member 210, thereby realizing the connection between the photovoltaic component 400 and the retaining member 210.

[0053] In some embodiments, the threaded hole of the locking member 210 is arranged on the connecting portion 211. Optionally, the thickness of the connecting portion 211 determines the number of threads in the threaded hole. Generally, the thicker the connecting portion 211, the more threads the threaded hole has, and the higher the strength of the connection structure between the locking top bolt and the connecting portion 211. The thickness of the connecting portion 211 and the number of threads in the threaded hole can be specifically set according to the actual installation environment and are not limited here.

[0054] In some other embodiments, the through hole of the photovoltaic component 400 can also be designed as a threaded hole, and the screw of the locking top bolt can be connected with the threaded hole. Of course, the locking top bolt can be further connected with the threaded hole of the locking member 210, thereby improving the connection structure strength between the locking top bolt and the photovoltaic component 400.

[0055] During implementation, the free end of the locking bolt extends into the water channel 110. Furthermore, the screw of the locking bolt abuts against the bottom inner surface of the water channel 110. At this time, the water channel 110 supports the locking bolt, and then supports the photovoltaic module 400 through the locking bolt. At the same time, the lower tongue 212 abuts against the inner surface of the side wall of the water channel 110. The water channel 110 limits the displacement of the connecting assembly 200 by abutting with the locking bolt and the lower tongue 212, thereby achieving fixed installation of the connecting assembly 200 and further achieving fixed installation of the photovoltaic module 400. During use, a sealant can be applied between two adjacent photovoltaic modules 400. Even if the sealant between the two adjacent photovoltaic modules 400 fails and leaks, the water will flow into the water channel 110 and then be discharged from the water channel 110, eliminating the hidden danger of leakage. In addition, the locking top bolt passes through the photovoltaic module 400 and extends into the water guide channel 110. If water flows into the water guide channel 110 from the gap between the locking top bolt and the through hole of the photovoltaic module 400, it will also be discharged to the designated position by the water guide channel 110, eliminating the risk of water leakage.

[0056] Example 3

[0057] In some optional embodiments, the connection assembly 200 further includes a flexible gasket 230 disposed between the head of the locking bolt and the photovoltaic assembly 400 .

[0058] During implementation, the flexible gasket 230 can be made of a flexible material with a certain degree of deformation capability. For example, the flexible gasket 230 can be a rubber gasket, a silicone gasket, or a flexible plastic gasket, etc., without limitation herein. Optionally, the flexible gasket 230 can be designed in a disc or ring shape. When the locking bolt is screwed into the threaded hole of the retaining member 210, the head of the locking bolt clamps the photovoltaic module 400 through the flexible gasket 230. The flexible gasket 230 can buffer the compression and protect the surface of the photovoltaic module 400.

[0059] Example 4

[0060] In some optional embodiments, both side walls of the water guiding channel 110 are provided with an inward buckling protrusion 111 that cooperates with the lower tongue portion 212 .

[0061] In practice, the cross-section of the water channel 110 is U-shaped or substantially U-shaped, wherein the water channel 110 includes a bottom and two side walls connected to the bottom. In some embodiments, the water channel 110 can be manufactured using an integrated process, such as extrusion of an aluminum alloy, which can effectively improve the overall structural strength of the water channel 110.

[0062] In some embodiments, both side walls of the water guiding channel 110 are provided with inward-curling protrusions 111. Optionally, the inward-curling protrusions 111 can be designed to be perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the side walls of the water guiding channel 110. In other embodiments, the inward-curling protrusions 111 can also be designed into other shape structures, for example, the cross-section of the inward-curling protrusions 111 is a right triangle, a square, or a right trapezoid, etc. As long as the side of the inward-curling protrusion 111 facing the bottom of the water guiding channel 110 is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the side wall of the water guiding channel 110, no limitation is made here.

[0063] In some possible embodiments, the retaining member 210 provided in the present application is in the shape of two steps. Optionally, the retaining member 210 includes a connecting portion 211 and a lower tongue portion 212. On the cross section of the water-guiding channel 110, the connecting portion 211 and the lower tongue portion 212 are distributed up and down, and the connecting portion 211 and the lower tongue portion 212 are parallel to each other. During installation, the photovoltaic module 400 is provided with a through hole, and the through hole of the photovoltaic module 400 and the threaded hole on the connecting part 211 are aligned and connected by a locking bolt, and then the photovoltaic module with the retaining piece 210 is slid into the water guide channel 110. After reaching the specified position, the locking bolt is screwed down until it is against the bottom inner surface of the water guide channel 110. Due to the action of the locking bolt, the photovoltaic module moves upward until the lower tongue 212 contacts and tightens with the inner buckle protrusion 111. At this time, the locking bolt drives the photovoltaic module 400 and the water guide channel 110 through the retaining piece 210 to form internal tension, and firmly locks the photovoltaic module 400 on the water guide channel 110.

[0064] Example 5

[0065] In some optional embodiments, the mounting assembly 300 includes a mounting member 320 .

[0066] During implementation, an ear canal 120 is provided on one or both sides of the water channel 110. Optionally, the ear canal 120 can be designed as a protrusion extending from the outer surface of the side wall of the water channel 110. During installation, the mounting member 320 is connected to the ear canal 120 and then mounted on the target installation object 500. Alternatively, the ear canal 120 is directly fixed to the target installation object 500. For example, the mounting member 320 is locked to the target installation object 500 after penetrating the ear canal using self-tapping screws. This eliminates the need to drill holes in the water channel 110 or use self-tapping screws for installation, thereby eliminating the possibility of water leakage from the water channel 110.

[0067] Example 5

[0068] In some optional embodiments, the mounting assembly 300 includes a pressure return plate 310;

[0069] The pressing plate 310 is fixedly mounted on the target installation object 500 via the mounting member 320 and presses the ear canal 120 .

[0070] During implementation, the pressure plate 310 can be designed to extend in a long strip along the length of the water channel 110. In some other embodiments, the pressure plate 310 can also be designed in a block shape, which is not limited here. The pressure plate 310 is mounted on the target installation object 500 via the mounting member 320. Optionally, the mounting member 320 can be considered as a snap-fit ​​structure or a locking structure provided on the pressure plate 310 and the target installation object 500. Exemplarily, the mounting member 320 includes a snap-fit ​​protrusion provided on the pressure plate 310 and a snap-fit ​​groove provided on the target installation object 500. During installation, the snap-fit ​​protrusion on the pressure plate 310 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove on the target installation object 500 to achieve the installation and fixation of the pressure plate 310 and the target installation object 500. At the same time, the pressure plate 310 is pressed against the ear canal 120. At this time, the water channel 110 is pressed against the target installation object 500 by the pressure plate 310.

[0071] In some embodiments, the pressure plate 310 can be designed to include a mounting portion and a pressing portion, wherein the pressing portion presses against the ear canal 120, and the mounting portion is fixedly mounted on the target installation object 500 via a mounting member. Optionally, the mounting portion and the pressing portion are overall Z-shaped, so that when the mounting portion is mounted on the target installation object 500, the pressing portion just presses against the ear canal 120, thereby fixing the water guide channel 110 on the target installation object.

[0072] The overall assembly and implementation principles of the photovoltaic module installation structure provided in this application are as follows:

[0073] The retaining piece 210 can be pre-bonded to the edge of the photovoltaic module 400, and the connecting portion 211 is provided with a threaded hole. Specifically, the threaded hole portion can be thickened to increase the number of threads and improve strength. The photovoltaic module 400 is provided with a through hole, which is aligned with the threaded hole of the connecting portion 211. The photovoltaic module 400 with the retaining piece 210 is slid along the water channel 110. When the photovoltaic module 400 slides to the specified position, the locking bolt is screwed into the threaded hole of the connecting portion 211. The head of the locking bolt is provided with a flexible gasket 230 to play the role of buffering and shrinkage protection of the photovoltaic module 400. The locking bolt is screwed down until it presses against the bottom of the water channel 110. Due to the action of the locking bolt, the photovoltaic module 400 moves upward until the lower tongue 212 contacts and presses the inner buckle protrusion 111 of the water channel 110. At this point, the locking bolts, through the photovoltaic module 400 and the retaining member 210, create internal tension with the water channel 110, thereby locking the photovoltaic module 400 to the water channel 110. The pressure plate 310 is connected to the target object 500 via the mounting member 320. Simultaneously, the pressure plate 310 presses against the ear canal 120 on the water channel 110, thereby locking the water channel 110 to the target object 500. The water channel 110 does not require drilling or self-tapping screws for installation, eliminating the risk of water leakage.

[0074] Example 6

[0075] In some optional embodiments, the mounting member 320 is a fixing bolt, and the pressing plate 310 is fixedly mounted on the target installation object 500 via the fixing bolt.

[0076] Optionally, the mounting member 320 is a fixing bolt comprising a head and a screw, wherein the screw is provided with external threads. Optionally, the pressure plate 310 may be provided with a through-hole, and the target object 500 may be provided with a threaded hole. During installation, the through-hole of the pressure plate 310 is aligned with the threaded hole of the target object 500, and then the screw of the fixing bolt passes through the through-hole of the pressure plate 310 and is screwed into the threaded hole of the target object 500, thereby fixing the pressure plate 310 to the target object 500.

[0077] In some possible embodiments, the head of the fixing bolt can be pre-fixed on the target object 500. For example, a mounting hole can be provided on the target object 500, and the head of the fixing bolt can be inserted into and fixed in the mounting hole. The through-hole of the pressure plate 310 is then passed through a screw rod, and the screw rod is locked and installed with a nut. Alternatively, the through-hole of the pressure plate 310 can be configured as a threaded hole, and the pressure plate 310 can be fixed to the target object 500 by the threaded hole in the pressure plate 310 and the screw rod of the fixing bolt.

[0079] In some optional embodiments, the ear canal 120 is provided with a first locking protrusion or a first locking groove, the pressure plate 310 is provided with a second locking protrusion that cooperates with the first locking protrusion or the first locking groove, or the pressure plate 310 is provided with a second locking groove that cooperates with the first locking protrusion.

[0080] During implementation, in order to increase the structural strength of the connection between the pressure plate 310 and the ear canal 120, a locking protrusion can be set on either the pressure plate 310 or the ear canal 120, and the other can be provided with a locking groove, or the other can also be provided with a locking protrusion. Through the cooperation of the locking protrusion and the locking groove or the two locking protrusions, the displacement between the pressure plate 310 and the ear canal 120 is further limited to ensure structural stability.

[0081] For example, taking the ear canal 120 as an example, the pressure plate 310 can be provided with a second locking protrusion. During installation, the first locking protrusion and the second locking protrusion are staggered and engaged with each other. Since the pressure plate 310 is fixedly installed on the target installation object 500 through the mounting member 320, the pressure plate 310 is pressed on the ear canal 120, thereby pressing the water guide channel 110 on the target installation object 500, limiting the up and down displacement of the water guide channel 110. At the same time, the first locking protrusion and the second locking protrusion cooperate to limit the horizontal displacement of the water guide channel 110, making the installation more stable and reliable.

[0082] Optionally, when the ear canal 120 is provided with a first locking protrusion, the pressure plate 310 can be provided with a second locking groove. During installation, the first locking protrusion can be embedded in the second locking groove. Since the pressure plate 310 is fixedly installed on the target installation object 500 through the mounting member 320, the pressure plate 310 is pressed on the ear canal 120, thereby pressing the water guide channel 110 on the target installation object 500, limiting the up and down displacement of the water guide channel 110. At the same time, the first locking protrusion and the second locking groove cooperate to limit the horizontal displacement of the water guide channel 110.

[0083] Optionally, when the ear canal 120 is provided with a first locking groove, the pressure plate 310 can be provided with a second locking protrusion. During installation, the second locking protrusion can be embedded in the first locking groove. Since the pressure plate 310 is fixedly installed on the target installation object 500 through the mounting member 320, the pressure plate 310 is pressed on the ear canal 120, thereby pressing the water guide channel 110 on the target installation object 500, limiting the up and down displacement of the water guide channel 110. At the same time, the second locking protrusion and the first locking groove cooperate to limit the horizontal displacement of the water guide channel 110.

[0084] It should be noted that the vertical and horizontal displacements of the water channel 110 described above are provided as examples of one embodiment of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. In specific implementations, the vertical and horizontal directions may be set based on the mounting surface of the target object 500. For example, if the mounting surface of the target object 500 is horizontal and the water channel 110 is mounted on the mounting surface, the direction perpendicular to the horizontal surface is the vertical direction, and the direction parallel to the horizontal surface is the horizontal direction. Similarly, if the mounting surface is an inclined surface, the direction perpendicular to the inclined surface is the vertical direction, and the direction parallel to the inclined surface is the horizontal direction. This will not be discussed in detail here.

[0085] Example 8

[0086] In some optional embodiments, the present application further provides a photovoltaic system, which includes the photovoltaic component mounting structure as described above.

[0087] A photovoltaic system is a power generation system that uses the photovoltaic effect of photovoltaic cells to directly convert solar radiation into electrical energy. In practice, a photovoltaic system consists of several photovoltaic modules 400, which are solar panels. These modules are the core component of a solar power generation system, converting solar energy into electrical energy and storing it in batteries or driving loads.

[0088] This embodiment provides a photovoltaic module mounting structure including: a water guide component 100, including a water guide channel 110 arranged below the photovoltaic component 400, the water guide channel 110 being provided with an opening extending along the adjacent sides of two adjacent photovoltaic components 400; a connecting component 200 connected to the two adjacent photovoltaic components 400; and an installation component 300 connecting the target installation object 500 and the water guide component 100; the portion of the connecting component 200 located below the photovoltaic component 400 extends from the opening into the water guide channel 110 and is connected to the water guide channel 110.

[0089] Optionally, the target installation object 500 can be regarded as a location where the photovoltaic assembly 400 needs to be installed and fixed. For example, when the photovoltaic assembly 400 needs to be installed and fixed on a roof, the target installation object 500 can be a beam, which is not limited here.

[0090] In some embodiments, the water guide assembly 100 is provided with a water guide channel 110, which can be used to temporarily store water and guide the water to a designated location. During implementation, the water guide channel 110 is installed below the photovoltaic assembly 400. Optionally, the water guide channel 110 is installed below a photovoltaic assembly 400 or below the junction of two adjacent photovoltaic assemblies 400, preferably below the junction of two adjacent photovoltaic assemblies 400.

[0091] The water channel 110 is provided with an opening that extends along the adjacent edge of two adjacent photovoltaic modules 400. Specifically, the adjacent edge of two adjacent photovoltaic modules 400 is the edge where the two adjacent photovoltaic modules 400 intersect. Optionally, the water channel 110 is in the shape of a hollow elongated cylinder with a U-shaped cross-section, wherein the length direction of the water channel 110 is parallel to the adjacent edge of the two adjacent photovoltaic modules 400, and the opening of the water channel 110 is directly opposite the adjacent edge of the two adjacent photovoltaic modules 400.

[0092] The connecting assembly 200 is connected to two adjacent photovoltaic modules 400, and the portion of the connecting assembly 200 located below the photovoltaic modules 400 extends from the opening of the water channel 110 into the water channel 110. During implementation, the connecting assembly 200 is also fixedly connected to the inner surface of the water channel 110. At this time, the water channel 110 and the connecting assembly 200 work together to support and securely install the photovoltaic modules 400.

[0093] In some embodiments, the connection assembly 200 can be designed to be connected to the photovoltaic assembly 400 at one end and to the water channel 110 at the other end. For example, the connection assembly 200 is T-shaped, wherein the upper sides of the T-shape are respectively connected to the edges of two adjacent photovoltaic assemblies 400. For example, the upper portion of the T-shaped connection assembly 200 is a bearing surface, and the lower surface of the photovoltaic assembly 400 can be fixed to the bearing surface by glue or screw locking. Sealing can be performed between two adjacent photovoltaic assemblies 400, for example, by applying sealant or embedding a sealing strip between the two adjacent photovoltaic assemblies 400 to achieve sealing. The lower part of the T-shaped connecting component 200 extends into the water guiding channel 110 and is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the water guiding channel 110. For example, the lower part of the T-shaped connecting component 200 extends into the water guiding channel 110 and is fixedly connected to the side wall and / or bottom inner surface of the water guiding channel 110. For example, a locking groove is provided on the inner surface of the water guiding channel 110, and the part of the connecting component 200 extending into the water guiding channel 110 can be embedded in the locking groove for fixation; or a locking protrusion is provided on the inner surface of the water guiding channel 110, and the part of the connecting component 200 extending into the water guiding channel 110 is provided with a groove that cooperates with the locking protrusion. The locking protrusion and the groove cooperate to achieve the fixed connection between the connecting component 200 and the inner surface of the water guiding channel 110. On the one hand, the water channel 110 supports the connecting component 200 and then supports the photovoltaic component 400. On the other hand, the opening of the water channel 110 is below the two adjacent photovoltaic components 400. Even if the seal between the two adjacent photovoltaic components 400 fails and leaks, the water will still flow into the water channel 110 and then be guided by the water channel to be discharged to the designated location.

[0094] In some possible embodiments, the connection assembly 200 and the photovoltaic assembly 400 may also be connected in other ways, such as the T-shaped connection assembly 200 described above, where the upper portion of the T-shaped connection assembly 200 is placed on the upper surface of the photovoltaic assembly 400, and then the upper portion of the T-shaped connection assembly 200 and the photovoltaic assembly 400 are connected by glue or screws. Alternatively, the connection assembly 200 may be designed as a clamping structure, for example, the connection assembly 200 may be designed as a "stem"-shaped structure, with the two sides of the connection assembly 200 respectively clamping an edge of a photovoltaic assembly 400. It should be noted that the connection assembly 200 may also adopt other structural forms, as long as it can connect to the photovoltaic assembly 400, and this is not limited here.

[0095] Optionally, in some possible embodiments, the connection assembly 200 can be divided into two parts to respectively connect to two adjacent photovoltaic modules 400. For example, the connection assembly 200 can be designed into two T-shaped structures as described above, with the upper portion of each T-shaped structure being a bearing surface, which is used to connect to the lower surface of a photovoltaic module 400, and the lower portions of the two T-shaped structures both extending into the water channel 110 and abutting against the inner surface of the water channel 110 for fixed connection. Optionally, the connection structure and implementation principle of the connection assembly 200 with the photovoltaic module 400 and the water channel 110 can refer to the structure and implementation principle of the connection assembly 200 described above, and will not be described in detail here.

[0096] Optionally, the water guide assembly 100 is installed on the target object 500 via the mounting assembly 300. In some embodiments, the mounting assembly 300 may utilize a detachable connection structure, such as a snap-fit ​​structure, to connect the ear canal 120 and the target object 500 via the snap-fit ​​structure, thereby securing the water guide assembly 100 to the target object 500. In other embodiments, the mounting assembly 300 may also utilize a fixed connection method to connect the ear canal 120 and the target object 500. For example, the mounting assembly 300 may utilize a bolt, self-tapping screw, or screw, which secures the ear canal 120 to the target object 500, thereby securing the water guide assembly 100 to the target object 500. It should be noted that the connection between the mounting assembly 300 and the ear canal 120 does not disrupt the overall structure of the water guide channel 110, i.e., it is not necessary to pierce the water guide channel 110, thereby preventing leakage due to perforation of the water guide channel 110.

[0097] In some possible embodiments, the installation component 300 can also be a structure or component set on the target installation object 500. For example, taking the target installation object 500 as a beam, the installation component 300 can be designed as a groove on the beam. During installation, the water guide component 100 can be embedded in the groove on the beam to realize the water guide component 100 and the target installation object 500.

[0098] In this embodiment of the present invention, a water channel 110 is installed below a photovoltaic module 400. The water channel 110 has an opening extending along the adjacent edge of the photovoltaic module 400. The connecting assembly 200 partially extends into the water channel 110 through the opening and abuts against the inner surface of the water channel 110 to be fixedly connected. The mounting assembly 300 then connects the target object 500 and the ear canal 120. This allows the water channel assembly 100 to be installed on the target object 500. The target object 500, the water channel 110, and the connecting assembly 200 connect and support the photovoltaic module 400, completing the installation of the photovoltaic module 400. Since the water channel 110 does not require drilling or piercing for installation, water leakage is avoided, eliminating the risk of water leakage.

[0099] Those skilled in the art will clearly understand that, for the convenience and indirectness of description, the structure and implementation principle of the photovoltaic system described above can refer to the corresponding structures and implementation principles in the aforementioned embodiments one to seven, and will not be repeated here.

[0100] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
