Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photovoltaic installation structures, and in particular to a photovoltaic module installation structure and a photovoltaic module installation method. Background Art

[0002] A photovoltaic module refers to an indivisible smallest photovoltaic cell assembly with packaging and internal connections that can provide direct current independently. It is the core component of a photovoltaic power generation system and is composed of eight core materials: the cell is the core element of the module, and is mainly used to convert light energy into electrical energy; photovoltaic glass is a sodium-lime-silicon hydrochloric acid glass, which is mainly used for the packaging of photovoltaic modules; photovoltaic packaging film is an important component of photovoltaic modules, located on the upper and lower sides of the cell, and the primary function of the film is to bond the cell to the glass and backplane; the photovoltaic backplane is a packaging material used for back protection, generally used for single-glass modules; the photovoltaic frame is a frame installed on the glass extension, which is mainly used to fix and seal solar cell modules; the photovoltaic welding ribbon is a composite conductive material formed by coating tin-based solder on the surface of a copper strip, which is used for series or parallel connection of photovoltaic cells; silicone is mainly used for bonding and sealing laminated glass photovoltaic modules; the junction box is mainly composed of a junction box cover, a sealing ring, a diode, a heat sink, a box body, wires, and a connector.

[0003] When installing existing photovoltaic modules, a mounting structure is required to fix them, and the angle of the photovoltaic modules can be adjusted through the mounting structure to improve the power generation efficiency. For example, Chinese patent announcement number CN117335727A discloses "Photovoltaic module mounting structure and photovoltaic module", which enables the photovoltaic modules to be freely adjusted according to actual installation needs through the setting of an adjustable mounting mechanism, thereby effectively improving the installation efficiency of the photovoltaic modules. The setting of the connecting block can facilitate the fixing of the fixing seat, and the setting of the clamping mechanism can facilitate the fixing of the position of the guide rod. The setting of the fastening mechanism can facilitate the fixing of the direction of the guide rod. The setting of the slider, the slide rod and the connecting rod can play a certain supporting role on the mounting plate.

[0004] However, in actual use, since fastening bolts are used to connect the photovoltaic modules to the supporting board, the installation process not only requires tools such as screwdrivers or wrenches, but also has the risk of thread slippage. After long-term use, it is easy to rust and make the photovoltaic modules unable to be removed. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem in the prior art that fastening bolts are used to connect photovoltaic modules to a supporting plate, and the installation process not only requires tools such as screwdrivers or wrenches, but also has the risk of thread slippage and rust that makes it impossible to remove the photovoltaic modules. A photovoltaic module installation structure and a photovoltaic module installation method are proposed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-5 , a photovoltaic module mounting structure, comprising a bracket 1 and a mounting plate 2, the mounting plate 2 is provided with a fixing mechanism 3 for fixing the photovoltaic module, the fixing mechanism 3 comprises a clamping component 4 and a trigger component 5;

[0033] The clamping assembly 4 includes a clamping jaw 41 rotatably connected to the mounting plate 2, and a connecting groove 42 matching with the trigger assembly 5 is formed at the lower end of the clamping jaw 41;

[0034] The trigger assembly 5 includes a through hole 51 opened on the mounting plate 2, a connecting rod 52 is movably inserted in the through hole 51, both ends of the connecting rod 52 pass through the through hole 51, a connecting portion 53 is provided on one side of the connecting rod 52, the connecting portion 53 is rotatably connected to a connecting rod 54, and the other end of the connecting rod 54 is rotatably connected to the connecting groove 42.

[0035] In the present invention, by cooperating with the trigger component 5 and the clamping component 4, when installing the photovoltaic component, the connecting rod 52 of the trigger component is forced to move downward, the connecting rod 52 drives the connecting rod 54 to move, and drives the clamping claw 41 to rotate and abut against the photovoltaic component, thereby fixing the photovoltaic component. It is simple and convenient, does not require fixing structures such as screws, and thus does not need to carry tools, thereby reducing the difficulty of installation and improving the installation efficiency.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the trigger assembly 5 also includes a pressure plate 55 fixedly connected to the connecting rod 52. The pressure plate 55 is arranged above the mounting plate 2. The mounting plate 2 is provided with a receiving groove that matches the pressure plate 55. The pressure plate 55 is arranged to increase the contact area with the photovoltaic module to prevent the connecting rod 52 from damaging the photovoltaic module.

[0037] In this embodiment, a spring 56 is fixedly connected in the accommodating groove, and the upper end of the spring 56 abuts against the pressure plate 55. Before installing the photovoltaic component, the pressure plate 55 is pushed upward by the spring 56, so that the connecting rod 52 moves upward accordingly, and the clamp 41 is in an open state to avoid hindering the movement of the photovoltaic component.

[0038] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the bracket 1 includes a front frame 11 and a rear frame 12, the front frame 11 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 2, the rear frame 12 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 2, and the height of the rear frame 12 is adjustable, so that the mounting plate 2 and the photovoltaic module can be rotated to adjust the angle along the front frame 11 as the center of the circle.

[0039] In this embodiment, the rear frame 12 includes a connecting frame 121 fixedly connected to the mounting plate 2, a connecting block 122 is rotatably provided on the connecting frame 121, and a support rod 123 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the connecting block 122. When the length of the support rod 123 changes, that is, the height of the rear frame 12 changes, the angle between the connecting block 122 and the connecting frame 121 will also change accordingly, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the angle of the mounting plate 2.

[0040] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, a base frame 124 is provided on the support rod 123, the support rod 123 and the base frame 124 are movably connected, and a limiting structure 6 that cooperates with the support rod 123 is provided on the base frame 124. By moving the support rod 123 up and down, the angle of the mounting plate 2 can be adjusted.

[0041] In this embodiment, the limiting structure 6 includes a mounting seat 61 fixedly set on the base frame 124 and matched with the support rod 123. A plurality of elastic claws 62 are provided on the mounting seat 61. The inner walls of the elastic claws 62 are all in contact with the support rod 123. The elastic claws 62 are in contact with the support rod 123 to form a damping structure, thereby fixing the position of the support rod 123 to prevent it from moving downward when it is not adjusted.

[0042] In addition, in the present embodiment, an adjusting cover 63 is threadedly connected to the mounting seat 61, and an inner wall of the adjusting cover 63 is provided with an inclined surface that abuts against the outer wall of the elastic clamp 62. When the adjusting cover 63 rotates, it moves up and down. When the adjusting cover 63 moves downward, the inclined surface of its inner wall abuts against the elastic clamp 62, driving the elastic clamp 62 to clamp and lock the support rod 123.

[0043] In more detail, in the present embodiment, a positioning mechanism 7 cooperating with the connecting rod 52 is provided at the lower end of the mounting plate 2, the positioning mechanism 7 includes a plug plate 71 slidably connected to the mounting plate 2, an elastic member 72 is provided between the plug plate 71 and the mounting plate 2, and a plurality of slots 73 with inclined surfaces cooperating with the plug plate 71 are provided on the connecting rod 52. When the pressure plate 55 drives the connecting rod 52 to move downward, the plug plate 71 abuts against the inclined surfaces of the slots 73, and the plug plate 71 moves backward to squeeze the elastic member 72 to cause it to undergo elastic deformation, and there will be no obstruction at this time. The pressure plate 55 and the connecting rod 52 move downward. When the pressure plate 55 is not pressed down by the photovoltaic component, the spring 56 will generate an upward thrust on the pressure plate 55. At this time, the plug plate 71 abuts against the non-sloped surface of the slot 73 to prevent it from moving upward, thereby preventing the pressure plate 55 and the connecting rod 52 from moving upward. When the photovoltaic component is blown by the wind to generate an upward force, the clamping assembly 4 will not loosen and cause the photovoltaic component to detach, which is safer. The photovoltaic component can be taken out by moving the plug plate 71 to separate it from the slot 73. When taking it out, the spring 56 will generate an upward thrust on the pressure plate 55, and the clamping assembly 4 releases its control over the photovoltaic component.

[0044] The present invention also provides a photovoltaic module installation method, comprising the photovoltaic module installation structure described above, and further comprising the following steps:

[0045] S1. Place the photovoltaic module on the mounting plate 2. The photovoltaic module applies force to the pressing plate 55 to drive the connecting rod 52 to move downward. The connecting rod 52 drives the connecting rod 54 to move, driving the clamping claw 41 to rotate and abut against the photovoltaic module to fix the photovoltaic module.

[0046] S2, rotating the adjustment cover 63 so that the inclined surface of its inner wall does not abut against the elastic clamping claw 62, and moving the support rod 123 upward to adjust the angle of the mounting plate 2 and the photovoltaic module;

[0047] S3. After the angle adjustment is completed, the adjusting cover 63 is rotated and moved downward, and the inclined surface of the inner wall of the adjusting cover 63 abuts against the elastic clamping claw 62, driving the elastic clamping claw 62 to clamp and lock the supporting rod 123.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.
