[0036] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0037] Please see Figures 1-4, the present invention provides a technical solution for an aluminum plate curtain wall with a photovoltaic module embedding structure: including a cross bar 1 and a longitudinal bar 2 fixed to the cross bar 1, thereby forming a "field" - shaped mesh structure, and being fixed on a wall 4 to be installed.
[0038] The head end of the cross bar 1 has a fixed part with a movable connection; the tail end of the cross bar 1 has a connection part corresponding to the fixed part; it is worth mentioning that the cross - sectional shapes of the head and tail ends of the cross bar 1 are both "L" - shaped, and adjacent cross bars 1 are connected end - to - end to form a fixation. There is a gap between the cross bars 1 connected end - to - end for placing the fixed part. Preferably, the gap between the fixed part and the connection part is 0.5 cm. In this way, there is a 0.5 - CM gap reserved for the movement of the fixed part, which is convenient for the fixation of the fixed part and the connection part, and at the same time does not affect the structural strength of the cross bar 1.
[0039] There are two fixed parts; the fixed part includes a shaft rod 12 fixed on the cross bar 1, a movable block 13 sleeved on the shaft rod 12, and a mounting hole 14 located on the movable block 13; thus, the movable block 13 sleeved on the shaft rod 12 can be rotatably installed on the cross bar 1; the mounting hole 14 corresponds to the connection part, enabling the connection part to be inserted into the mounting hole 14.
[0040] The connection part includes a number of regularly arranged long slots 11; the long slots 11 correspond to the fixed part. In one embodiment, the distribution distance of the long slots 11 is 1 - CM intervals, and the installation length of the cross bar 1 can be adjusted by corresponding intervals; a long bolt passes through the long slot 11 to the mounting hole 14 and is thread - connected to the mounting hole 14; a rubber pad for inserting the long bolt is provided between the long slot 11 and the long bolt; the rubber pad can prevent the bolt from loosening. In the above - mentioned embodiment, the length of the long bolt needs to be within ±0.5 cm of the sum of the thicknesses of the long slot 11, the mounting hole 14, and the rubber pad, so that the long screw can be inserted into the mounting hole 14 for installation.
[0041] It is worth mentioning that the reason for designing at least two fixed parts is that the left - and - right adjacent cross bars 1 can be connected at multiple angles and multiple nodes (height, spacing), such as horizontal installation, vertical installation, inclined installation, etc., and the installation spacing can be selected on the long slot 11 according to requirements; and through two fixed parts, stable fixation of the fixed part on the connection part can be formed.
[0042] A second fixing assembly is provided between the two adjacent crossbars 1; the second fixing assembly includes an insertion end fixed to the first end of the crossbar 1 and a mounting part located at the tail end of the crossbar 1. The insertion end is a retaining plate 16 fixed to the first end of the crossbar 1; the retaining plate 16 has a pre-reserved oblique line 17; the mounting part is a pre-reserved slot 15 at the tail end of the crossbar 1; the retaining plate 16 is inserted into the slot 15, and after being bent, the retaining plate 16 wraps around the tail end of the crossbar 1. Preferably, the oblique pre-reserved line 17 is from high to low, and the oblique angle corresponding to the horizontal line is 45°.
[0043] It is worth noting that the length of the slot 15 must be at least 1 cm longer than the slot plate 16, and the length of the slot 15 must be at least 5 cm longer than the length of the connecting part. This is so that the slot plate 16 can be fully inserted into the slot 15 during the shortest assembly, without the slot 15 being too short to fully accommodate the slot plate 16 or the connecting part being too long and limiting the adjacent crossbar 1, preventing it from being fully inserted. Furthermore, the length of the slot plate 16 must be at least 4 cm longer than the length of the connecting part, so that the slot plate 16 can continue to wrap around the crossbar 1 during the longest assembly.
[0044] To facilitate the bending of the clamping plate 16 on the designed oblique reserved line 17, tools such as a soft pad hammer can be used to shape the clamping plate 16 so that it can wrap around the crossbar 1. The wrapping method includes, for example, attaching... Figure 5 As shown, one side of the crossbar 1 is completely wrapped and fixed by welding or self-tapping screws, so that the clamping plate 16 is not easy to detach from the slot 15, greatly enhancing the sturdiness. Or, as shown in the attached... Figure 6 As shown, the card plate is fixed on 16 sides, which can better distribute the pressure during the stress process, making the whole more stable.
[0045] See Figure 9-12 The horizontal bars 1 adjacent to each other are fixedly connected by vertical bars 2. A snap-fit structure is provided between the vertical bars and the horizontal bars 1. The snap-fit structure includes snap-fit blocks 21 at the beginning and end of the vertical bars, vertical bar mounting holes 18 on the horizontal bars 1 for inserting the vertical bars, limiting blocks 19 located on the mounting holes 14 of the horizontal bars 1, and limiting holes 110 reserved on the mounting holes 18 of the vertical bars. The limiting blocks 19 have grooves for the snap-fit blocks 21 to be inserted. An open groove 21 is milled at both ends of the vertical bars 2 for placing the snap-fit blocks 21. Bolts are installed on the limiting holes 110. When the vertical bars 2 are inserted into the vertical bar mounting holes 18 on the horizontal bars 1, rotating the vertical bars 2 causes the snap-fit blocks 21 to be inserted into the grooves of the limiting blocks 19, exposing the limiting holes 110. Then, bolts are installed in the limiting holes 110, limiting the rotation of the vertical bars 2 and preventing them from rotating back, thus achieving a fixed connection between the vertical bars 2 and the horizontal bars 1.
[0046] The crossbar 1 has several holes 31 pre-drilled for the photovoltaic module 3 to be inlaid, so that the photovoltaic module 3 can be installed on the crossbar 1.
[0047] The crossbar 1 is equipped with fasteners 5 for fixing to the wall 4; the fasteners 5 are "L"-shaped, and both the wall 4 and the crossbar 1 are provided with fasteners 5; the fasteners 5 on the crossbar 1 are fixed to the wall 4 by bolts. The connection and fixation between the crossbar 1 and the wall 4 are achieved by the fasteners 5.
[0048] An installation method for an aluminum panel curtain wall with a photovoltaic module 3 embedded structure includes the following steps:
[0049] Step 1: Drill holes in the wall 4 and then install fasteners 5 with bolts; the fasteners 5 allow for selection of the fixing nodes. For some weak areas, more fasteners 5 can be installed to achieve a fixing effect. The "L"-shaped fasteners 5 can support the crossbar 1 at one end and connect to the fasteners 5 on the wall at the other end, making installation convenient and with excellent load-bearing capacity.
[0050] Step 2: Select the installation angle between the horizontal bars 1 according to the shape of the wall 4, and complete the fixing of the horizontal bars 1. For example, in the implementation of one of the curved wall surfaces, the curvature of the curved surface of the wall 4 can be measured in advance, and the horizontal bars 1 can be assembled in advance according to the measured curvature. The length of each horizontal bar 1 can be adjusted according to the arc length of the curved surface. In this way, the horizontal bars 1 can finally fit the curved surface after installation.
[0051] Step 3: Connect the erected horizontal bar 1 to the fastener 5 on the wall 4 using bolts to fix the horizontal bar 1 to the wall 4. In this way, combined with Step 1, the curtain wall frame can be laid on the entire wall 4, and the coverage area can be controlled.
[0052] Step 4: Insert the vertical rod 2 into the horizontal rod 1, then rotate the vertical rod 2 and screw the bolt into the limiting hole 110 to complete the fixation of the horizontal rod 1 and the vertical rod 2; this achieves a welding-free fixation of the vertical rod 2, which can save working time and improve the efficiency of the construction.
[0053] Step 5: Secure the photovoltaic module 3 to the horizontal bar 1 using several bolts through the holes 31. This allows for quick and efficient installation of the photovoltaic module 3.
[0054] See Figure 13 Furthermore, based on the special characteristics of the wall 4 to which the photovoltaic module 3 is installed, such as the fact that some sunlight is blocked by other buildings outside, a length difference can be formed between the upper and lower horizontal bars 1 of the photovoltaic module 3 (the length and angle of the horizontal bar 1 can be adjusted based on the position of the installed long slot 11), so that the photovoltaic module 3 can be installed at an angle.
[0055] Both the crossbar 1 and the longitudinal bar 2 mentioned in this patent are made of aluminum.
[0056] Working principle: Connect the two ends of the crossbar 1. Align the fixed part at the beginning of the crossbar 1 with the connecting part at the end. After positioning the required installation angle, use an external tool to move the movable block 13 so that the mounting hole 14 aligns with the slot of the long groove 11. Then, use a bolt (preferably an internal hex bolt for better fixation and to prevent loosening) to pass through the long groove 11 to the mounting hole 14. Similarly, complete the connection of the other fixed part. In this way, the adjacent crossbar 1 is fixed by connecting the two fixed ends. Then, use an external soft pad hammer to shape the clamping plate 16 so that the clamping plate 16 wraps around the crossbar 1. This completes the welding-free fixing method (of course, after completing the above fixing, additional welding can be added to the contact surface of the adjacent crossbar 1 for further fixing). Then, either the horizontal bar 1 can be fixed to the wall 4 first, or the vertical bar 2 can be installed first. When installing the vertical bar 2, insert the vertical bar 2 into the vertical bar 2 mounting hole 14 of the horizontal bar 1, and then rotate the vertical bar 2. Rotating the vertical bar 2 will cause the locking block 21 to insert into the groove of the limiting block 19, and at the same time expose the limiting hole 110. Then, install it in the limiting hole 110 with bolts. The bolts will limit the rotation of the vertical bar 2 and prevent the vertical bar 2 from rotating back, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the vertical bar 2 and the horizontal bar 1. Finally, install the photovoltaic module 3 through the row hole to complete the operation.
[0057] The photovoltaic module described in this patent is based on existing technology and can be purchased directly from the market. Therefore, its structural principle and circuit diagram will not be described in detail.
