Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a complete solar tracking photovoltaic system, and more specifically, to a flash mounting bracket assembly and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] The development of complete solar tracking photovoltaic systems includes key technology research and development such as intelligent operation and maintenance, weather early warning, light source tracking, multi-point drive, support structure design and performance simulation analysis, and industrial application. It provides the photovoltaic power generation industry with a complete system for structural support and light source tracking, improves the utilization efficiency of solar energy in photovoltaic power generation, ensures the long-term, stable and safe operation of photovoltaic power plants, and accelerates the development of the photovoltaic industry.

[0003] As the core component supporting the solar cell array, the performance of the photovoltaic (PV) support structure often determines the safe, efficient operation, and cost control of the PV system. The design of the support structure must consider various factors such as local latitude and wind load intensity; an unreasonable design can lead to significant economic losses. For example, a 10,540 kW nonlinear intermittent tracking solar power plant built by the Soviet Union, the US government, and several investment companies was dismantled due to excessive maintenance costs caused by frequent support system failures, resulting in losses exceeding several billion US dollars. In 1994, my country imported a 15 kW concentrated photovoltaic power plant from the United States, but the high failure rate of the tracking support system led to excessive maintenance costs, necessitating its conversion to a fixed power plant.

[0004] Therefore, in order to ensure its long-term safe, reliable and stable operation, it is particularly important to optimize the dynamic and structural design of the support system while ensuring the performance of the tracking system. Otherwise, the maintenance cost in the later stage will be too high, or the system may even fail to operate normally.

[0005] Therefore, those skilled in the art are dedicated to providing a bracket assembly that can be easily adjusted on-site based on local latitude, wind load intensity, and other factors, enabling rapid installation of the photovoltaic system on the roof according to actual usage needs, thus effectively solving the aforementioned technical problems.

[0006] In particular, photovoltaic power plants are generally built in areas with abundant sunshine and sparse population, but frequent strong winds and heavy snow, such as deserts, Gobi, and grasslands. This places higher demands on the robustness of the photovoltaic support structure. When using aluminum alloy support structures, this problem is particularly prominent because the elastic modulus and yield strength of aluminum alloy are lower than those of steel. Due to the high stress on the columns, deformation and even structural failure can easily occur. Current solutions are simply to increase the thickness and strength of the support material, but this significantly increases the cost of the support structure, reducing the overall efficiency of the power plant. How to achieve a lightweight support structure while ensuring its structural stability and reliability is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved.

[0007] To address this, those skilled in the art have broken through the limitations of existing support designs and are committed to providing a lightweight support structure that not only enables quick installation but also ensures overall stability and reliability, effectively solving the aforementioned technical problems.

[0036] First, this invention provides a support assembly that allows for on-site adjustment based on local latitude, wind load intensity, and other factors, enabling rapid installation of the photovoltaic system on the roof according to actual usage requirements. Second, this invention provides a lightweight support structure that not only enables rapid installation but also ensures overall stability and reliability.

[0037] A method of using a quick-mount bracket assembly includes the following steps:

[0038] 1) Install guide rail base positioning units on the color steel sheet;

[0039] 2) Connect several guide segments to form a guide rail. Specifically, a guide rail connector is set between two adjacent guide segments. Two guide rail connectors are set on the guide rail connector. The two sides of the guide rail connector are inserted into the mounting cavity of each guide segment, and the guide rail connectors are clamped and positioned by the guide rail connectors.

[0040] 3) Set two sets of guide rails above the color steel sheet and install and fix them with the brackets. Specifically, place the guide rail in the groove, clamp the first clamping position of the bracket with the lower half of the guide rail, and then rotate the locking bolt. The locking bolt drives the L-shaped clamp to move along the guide table, thereby forming the second clamping position with the bracket. The guide rail is clamped and fixed by the cooperation of the second clamping position and the first clamping position.

[0041] 4) Place several components on the guide rail and install them sequentially from left to right, following the installation order of side pressure unit, intermediate pressure unit, and side pressure unit. The specific installation steps are as follows:

[0042] Place a set of components on the left side of the guide rail, and then fix the outer side of the components with the side pressure unit. Then, set the middle pressure unit on the inner side of the components, and place another set of components on the other side of the middle pressure unit. Fix the two components with the middle pressure unit. After all the middle pressure units are installed, install and fix the side pressure unit at the end of the component on the right side.

[0043] The specific steps for using the side pressure unit are as follows:

[0044] Place the side pressure unit in the mounting slot of the guide rail until the lower end of the side pressure limiting plate is in contact with the upper end of the limiting strip and cannot move downward. Rotate the side pressure unit so that each side pressure limiting part is directly below each limiting strip. The limiting strip restricts the upward movement of the side pressure limiting parts. Rotate the side pressure bolt. The rotation of the side pressure bolt will cause the side pressure block to move. The side pressure block and the abutment block lock and fix the assembly.

[0045] The specific steps for using the medium-voltage unit are as follows:

[0046] After the side pressure unit fixes the outer side of the component on the left, place the lower half of the medium pressure unit in the mounting groove until it is limited by the medium pressure limiting plate, so that the medium pressure unit cannot move further down. Then rotate the medium pressure unit so that its two medium pressure limiting parts are directly below the two limiting bars, and limit it by the two limiting bars. At this time, the upper end of the limiting bar is pressed against the lower end of the medium pressure limiting plate, and the lower end of the limiting bar is pressed against the medium pressure limiting part.

[0047] Place the limiting block on one side of the medium pressure unit close to one side of the component, then place another set of components and move the component toward the medium pressure unit until the component is in contact with the limiting block on the other side of the medium pressure unit. Then rotate the medium pressure bolt, which will cause the clamping block to move. The component is then locked and fixed by the limiting block and the clamping block.

[0048] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0049] 1) Install guide rail connectors between two adjacent guide sections, and install two guide rail connecting clips on the guide rail connectors. Insert both sides of the guide rail connectors into the mounting cavities of each guide section, and clamp and position them using the guide rail connecting clips. This setup not only facilitates the connection of two adjacent guide sections but also does not affect the stability of the entire guide rail, and makes construction more convenient.

[0050] 2) Place the guide rail in the groove, clamp the first locking position of the base with the lower half of the guide rail, and then rotate the locking bolt. The locking bolt will drive the locking seat to move along the guide table, thereby forming a second locking position with the L-shaped locking piece. The guide rail is clamped by the cooperation of the second locking position and the first locking position. On the one hand, the L-shaped locking piece can be disassembled and reused, saving the cost of use; on the other hand, the positioning is convenient and quick, reducing the labor intensity of the operator while ensuring the stability of the positioning.

[0051] 3) By setting a medium pressure unit between two adjacent components, placing the lower half of the medium pressure unit in the mounting groove until the medium pressure unit can no longer move down, then rotating the medium pressure unit so that its two medium pressure limit parts are directly below the two limit bars respectively, moving the two adjacent components toward the medium pressure unit, and applying downward pressure to the clamping block by rotating the medium pressure bolt, the two adjacent components can be securely connected and fixed to the guide rail.

[0052] 4) Place the side pressure unit in the mounting slot of the guide rail, rotate the side pressure unit so that each side pressure limiting part is directly below each limiting strip, rotate the side pressure bolt to apply downward pressure to the side pressure part, thereby limiting it through the cooperation of the side pressure block and the clamping block, so that the side pressure block does not need to be adjusted by the cleats when adjusting the thickness of the corresponding component frame.

[0053] It also features convenient installation, reduces the need for manual adjustment of side pressure on site, is suitable for positioning of different component frame thicknesses, and the guide rail connectors and guide rails cooperate through clips, which not only limit the position but also eliminates the need for separate tools and shortens the construction period.

Specifically, the grounding plate pierces the pressure block and the frame of component 2, ultimately connecting the component to the original grounding system of the roof, thus providing lightning protection and static electricity prevention.

[0100] By setting the medium-pressure unit 5 in this invention, the following beneficial effects are achieved:

[0101] 1. By cooperating with the intermediate pressure part 29, the intermediate pressure bolt 30, and the intermediate pressure T-shaped clip 26, it is possible to simultaneously adapt to the frame thickness of various components;

[0102] 2. By cooperating with the intermediate pressure part 29 and the intermediate pressure elastic part 28, the problem that existing products on the market cannot limit the position or reserve the installation position of components can be solved;

[0103] 3. By combining the medium pressure part 29 with the medium pressure T-shaped card block 26 and the guide rail 1, a very simple installation method with straight up and down movement and rotation limit is achieved.

[0104] Each set of guide rails 1 includes several guide sections 39. The upper end of each guide section 39 is provided with a mounting groove 16. The lower half of each guide section 39 is provided with a mounting cavity 50 that cooperates with each other and passes through the guide section 39.

A first card position 62 is provided on one side of the upper end of the card holder 65. A guide platform 63 is inclinedly provided on the other side of the upper end of the card holder 65. An L-shaped card 58 is slidably provided on the guide platform 63. A second card position 66 is formed between the inner side of the L-shaped card 58 and the upper end of the card holder 65, which cooperates with the first card position 62. Limiting sections 88 are provided on both sides of the lower half of the guide rail 1. Each first card position 62 and second card position 66 and each limiting section 88 are detachably connected to the guide rail 1.

[0108] The outer side of the L-shaped clip 58 is connected to the card seat 65 by a locking bolt 67, and a return spring 68 sleeved on the locking bolt 67 is provided between the outer side of the L-shaped clip 58 and the card seat 65.

[0109] The card holder 65 is connected to the color steel sheet 59 by a self-tapping screw 69 installed in the groove 61, or by a bolt assembly 70; the lower end of the bolt assembly 70 is provided with a clamp 71. A rubber pad 102 is provided between the card holder 65 and the color steel sheet 59.

[0110] In this invention, the guide rail base assembly has a recessed bottom structure, which ensures that it can be directly fixed to the color steel tile roof with beams by self-tapping screws, or fixed to the clamp by bolt assembly; the side uses L-shaped clips in conjunction with return spring 68 and locking bolt 67 to meet the needs of convenient construction.

[0111] Through the above technical solutions of the present invention

[0112] 1. This invention, through a convenient, straight-up-down, rotation-limited, and extremely simple installation method, can effectively reduce the construction steps of the middle and side pressure, save construction costs, and shorten the construction cycle; moreover, this matching method also makes subsequent disassembly and maintenance simpler and more convenient.

[0113] 2. The side pressure block can adapt to various component thicknesses without the need for separate adjustment of the assembly, making construction convenient, effectively saving construction costs and shortening the construction cycle;

[0114] 3. The guide rail connector is assembled and fixed to the guide rail through the guide rail connector clips, which is convenient for construction, can effectively save construction costs and shorten the construction period;

[0115] 4. The guide rail base assembly can be directly fixed to the beams of the house itself, or it can be fixed to the color steel tile roof by clamps, making it widely applicable;

[0116] 5. The guide rail base assembly is fixed from the side, allowing the guide rail to be installed and disassembled vertically, which effectively saves construction costs and shortens the construction cycle; moreover, this assembly method also makes subsequent disassembly and maintenance simpler and more convenient.

[0117] 6. Except for the self-tapping screws that come with the guide rail base assembly, the entire structure is fixed with M8 hex bolts, so installation can be completed without changing tools.

[0118] A method of using a quick-mount bracket assembly includes the following steps:

[0119] 1) A guide rail base positioning unit 57 is set on the color steel tile 59; In use, the guide rail base positioning unit 57 is pre-assembled on the color steel tile 59. The return spring 68 in the guide rail base positioning unit 57 is used to hold the L-shaped clip 58. After setting the return spring 68, when the locking bolt 67 is not tightened, the guide rail can be installed without manually opening the L-shaped clip, which is convenient and quick.

[0120] In addition, when the present invention is installed on a roof, the corrugated steel sheet 59 is installed on the beam 72.

[0121] 2) Connect several guide segments 39 to form a guide rail 1. Specifically, a guide rail connector 52 is set between two adjacent guide segments 39, and two guide rail connector clips 53 are set on the guide rail connector 52. The two sides of the guide rail connector 52 are respectively inserted into the mounting cavity 50 of each guide segment 39, and at the same time, they are clamped and positioned by each guide rail connector clip 53.

[0122] 3) Set the two sets of guide rails 1 above the color steel tile 59 and fix them in place by using the bracket 65. Specifically, place the guide rail 1 in the groove 61, clamp the first clamping position 62 of the bracket 65 with the lower half of the guide rail 1, and then rotate the locking bolt 67. The locking bolt 67 drives the L-shaped clamp 58 to move along the guide platform 63, thereby forming the second clamping position 66 with the L-shaped clamp 58. The guide rail 1 is clamped and fixed by the cooperation of the second clamping position 66 and the first clamping position 62.

[0123] 4) Place several components 2 on the guide rail 1, and install them sequentially from left to right according to the installation order of the side pressure unit 3, the intermediate pressure unit 5, and the side pressure unit 3. The specific steps for sequential installation are as follows:

[0124] Place a set of components 2 on the left side of the guide rail 1, and then fix the outer side of the components 2 by the side pressure unit 3. Then, set the middle pressure unit 5 on the inner side of the components 2, and place another set of components 2 on the other side of the middle pressure unit 5. Fix the two components 2 by the middle pressure unit 5. After all the middle pressure units 5 are installed, install and fix the side pressure unit 3 at the end of the right component 2.

[0125] The specific steps for using the side pressure unit 3 are as follows:

[0126] Place the side pressure unit 3 in the mounting groove 16 of the guide rail 1 until the lower end of the side pressure limiting plate 15 is in contact with the upper end of the limiting strip 17 and cannot move downward. Rotate the side pressure unit 3 so that each side pressure limiting part 12 is located directly below each limiting strip 17. The limiting strip 17 restricts the side pressure limiting part 12 from moving upward. Rotate the side pressure bolt 10. The rotation of the side pressure bolt 10 will cause the side pressure block 21 to move. The side pressure block 21 and the abutment block 22 lock the fixing assembly 2.

[0127] The specific steps for using the medium-pressure unit 5 are as follows:

[0128] After the side pressure unit 3 fixes the outer side of the component 2 located on the left, the lower half of the medium pressure unit 5 is placed in the mounting groove 16 until it is limited by the medium pressure limiting plate 32 so that the medium pressure unit 5 cannot move further down. Then, the medium pressure unit 5 is rotated so that its two medium pressure limiting parts 33 are located directly below the two limiting bars 17 and are limited by the two limiting bars 17. At this time, the upper end of the limiting bar 17 is pressed against the lower end of the medium pressure limiting plate 32, and the lower end of the limiting bar 17 is pressed against the medium pressure limiting part 33.

[0129] Place the limiting block 37 on one side of the medium pressure unit 5 close to one side of the component 2, then place another set of components 2 and move the component 2 toward the medium pressure unit 5 until the component 2 is in contact with the limiting block 37 on the other side of the medium pressure unit 5. Then rotate the medium pressure bolt 30. The rotation of the medium pressure bolt 30 will cause the clamping block 36 to move. The component 2 is locked and fixed by the limiting block 37 and the clamping block 36.

[0130] The technical solution of this invention effectively solves the problems of complicated installation and difficult positioning of rooftop photovoltaic systems, realizing photovoltaic power generation while solving the problem of long construction period; at the same time, it solves the problems of complicated construction and low construction efficiency of existing products by reducing product types and optimizing product assembly and fixing methods.

[0131] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of the present invention without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of the present invention through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
