[0044] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more obvious and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0045] With the growing demand for renewable energy, photovoltaic modules have been widely developed, including in mountains, deserts, Gobi and other regions. Gradually, offshore photovoltaics have become popular due to their small land area occupation.

[0046] Offshore photovoltaics, as the name suggests, refers to photovoltaic power generation systems built on the sea. This photovoltaic power generation system uses the vast space on the sea surface to install a large number of photovoltaic panels to convert solar energy into electrical energy. Compared with land photovoltaics, offshore photovoltaics have the advantages of vast construction space, stable lighting conditions, and land conservation.

[0047] With the development of offshore photovoltaics, the installation of offshore photovoltaic modules also needs to be solved urgently. When installing photovoltaic modules at sea, it is necessary to set up a support body at sea in advance, and then install the photovoltaic modules on the support body, usually by bolting. However, the traditional installation method is relatively simple, which can easily cause unstable installation of photovoltaic modules. If the installation is unstable, the connection will become loose, which will cause damage to the photovoltaic modules in serious cases, increasing maintenance costs.

[0048] In view of this, the present application provides a photovoltaic module connection mechanism, which is designed with a mounting frame and a support plate. The mounting frame can be installed and connected to the support body through the support plate. Compared with the traditional photovoltaic module installation method of direct bolt connection and fixation, this design provides more connection points and a larger connection area, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection. In addition, by designing a limiter, the fixation between the mounting frame and the support body is achieved, the mounting connection points are increased, and the connection stability is further improved.

[0049] It can be seen that the photovoltaic module connection mechanism of the present application realizes a variety of connection methods, and the various components can be combined and adjusted according to actual installation requirements, ensuring the flexibility and adaptability of the installation, enhancing the stability and reliability of the connection, and providing a guarantee for the stable operation of the offshore photovoltaic power station.

[0050] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 10 The photovoltaic module connection mechanism of the embodiment of the present application is described. In the figure, x can be the second direction; y can be the first direction.

[0051] Combination Figures 1 to 4 The photovoltaic module connection mechanism of this embodiment can be used to connect the photovoltaic module 10 and the support body 20. Optionally, the support body 20 may include purlins. Specifically, the photovoltaic module connection mechanism includes a mounting frame 100, a support plate 200, a stopper 300 and a reinforcement assembly 500.

[0052] The mounting frame 100 is used to mount the photovoltaic module 10. Optionally, the mounting frame 100 can be made of corrosion-resistant, lightweight and high-strength materials to support the weight of the photovoltaic module 10 and resist external loads such as wind pressure and snow pressure. Exemplarily, the material of the mounting frame 100 can be aluminum alloy or stainless steel.

[0053] It should be noted that the shape and size of the frame can match the photovoltaic module 10 to ensure stable assembly of the installation assembly. Optionally, the frame can also be designed with an assembly structure for connecting the photovoltaic module 10. For example, the assembly method can include snap-on connection, sliding connection, etc. The specific design can be selected according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0054] The support plate 200 is arranged on the side of the mounting frame 100 facing the support body 20, and acts as a bridge connecting the photovoltaic module 10 and the support body 20. The support plate 200 is suitable for bearing the weight of the photovoltaic module 10 and the mounting frame 100, and evenly transferring this weight to the support body 20.

[0055] Optionally, the support plate 200 can be made of corrosion-resistant, lightweight and high-strength materials to support the weight of the photovoltaic module 10 and the mounting frame 100 and resist external loads such as wind pressure and snow pressure. Exemplarily, the material of the support plate 200 can be aluminum alloy or stainless steel.

[0056] The support plate 200 can be connected to the support body 20 and the mounting frame 100 respectively, and the connection method can be bolts, welding or other connection methods. Optionally, a reinforcement structure can be designed at the connection point to resist external loads and fatigue effects of long-term use.

[0057] At least part of the structure of the limiter 300 is arranged on the side of the mounting frame 100 facing away from the support body 20 . The limiter 300 is respectively connected to the mounting frame 100 and the support body 20 to fix the mounting frame 100 and the photovoltaic assembly 10 connected to the mounting frame 100 on the support body 20 .

[0058] It should be noted that the selection of the stopper 300 should be based on the weight and size of the photovoltaic module 10 and the structure of the mounting frame 100, and it should be ensured that the stopper 300 can provide sufficient fixing force and stability. Optionally, the stopper 300 can be fixed in the form of bolts, buckles, spring clips, etc., and the specific selection and design can be made according to the actual installation requirements, and no limitation is made here.

[0059] It can be seen that the limiting member 300 can fix the mounting frame 100 and the photovoltaic module 10, and can also prevent the photovoltaic module 10 from loosening or being damaged due to factors such as vibration or wind pressure during the installation process.

[0060] The reinforcement component 500 is connected to the mounting frame 100 and the support plate 200. The arrangement of the reinforcement component 500 can prevent deformation or damage caused by external factors such as wind pressure and equipment weight, thereby ensuring stable operation of the photovoltaic system.

[0061] Optionally, the fixed connection method between the reinforcement component 500 and the mounting frame 100 and / or the support plate 200 may include multiple methods, such as bolt connection, welding, etc. Optionally, the fixed connection method between the reinforcement component 500 and the support plate 200 may also include clamping connection, plug connection, etc., which can be selected according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0062] The photovoltaic module connection mechanism provided in the present application is designed with an installation frame 100 and a support plate 200. The installation frame 100 can be installed and connected with the support body 20 through the support plate 200. Compared with the traditional installation form of photovoltaic modules 10 directly connected and fixed with bolts, this design provides more connection points and a larger connection area, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection. In addition, by designing a limit member 300 and a reinforcement component 500, the fixation between the installation frame 100 and the support body 20 is achieved, the installation connection points are increased, and the connection stability is further improved.

[0063] It can be seen that the present application realizes a variety of connection methods by designing components such as the installation frame 100, the support plate 200, the limiter 300 and the reinforcement assembly 500. The components can be combined and adjusted according to actual installation requirements, ensuring the flexibility and adaptability of the installation, enhancing the stability and reliability of the connection, and providing a guarantee for the stable operation of the offshore photovoltaic power station.

[0064] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 2, Figure 4 and Figure 5 There are multiple mounting frames 100. By designing multiple mounting frames 100, it is possible to more flexibly adapt to photovoltaic modules 10 of different sizes and shapes. Each mounting frame 100 can independently support and fix a portion of the photovoltaic module 10, thereby improving the adaptability and flexibility of the entire mounting structure.

[0065] In addition, the support plate 200 is provided with a mounting position 210 corresponding to the mounting frame 100, and the mounting frame 100 is located at the corresponding mounting position 210. In this way, each mounting frame 100 can be accurately placed at a preset position of the support plate 200. This design ensures the alignment of the photovoltaic component 10 during the installation process and avoids unstable installation or damage that may be caused by misalignment.

[0066] Optional, combined Fig. 9 and Fig.10 A positioning protrusion 230 may be designed on one side of the support plate 200 facing the mounting frame 100 , and the positioning protrusion 230 may define the mounting position 210 .

[0067] In addition, an installation gap is provided between two adjacent installation frames 100 , and the installation gap can provide sufficient installation space for the connection portion 320 , and also reduce the occurrence of stress concentration caused by factors such as thermal expansion or wind pressure of the photovoltaic module 10 .

[0068] The limiting member 300 includes a plurality of limiting portions 310 corresponding to the mounting frame 100 and a connecting portion 320 in the mounting gap. The limiting portion 310 is arranged to limit the mounting frame 100. This design ensures that each mounting frame 100 can be firmly fixed in a preset position, preventing the photovoltaic component 10 from moving or loosening.

[0069] In addition, the connection part 320 is connected to the support body 20, further enhancing the stability of the overall connection structure. Optionally, the connection part 320 can be connected by bolts, such as hexagonal bolts, T-bolts, square bolts, U-bolts, etc., to ensure the secure installation of the limiter 300. This design improves the stability of the installation and facilitates subsequent maintenance and replacement.

[0070] In this way, by adopting the design of multiple mounting frames 100 and mounting positions 210 of the support plate 200, as well as the design of multiple limiting parts 310 and connecting parts 320 of the limiting member 300, the connection structure can enhance the adaptability with the photovoltaic component 10, ensure the stable installation of the photovoltaic component 10, optimize the layout and fixing method of the photovoltaic component 10, and reduce maintenance costs. This design feature makes the connection structure more suitable for the installation of photovoltaic components 10 in offshore environments.

[0071] Optional, reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The side of the limiting portion 310 facing the mounting frame 100 may be designed with a limiting tooth or other design to enhance friction, so as to increase the friction between the limiting portion 310 and the mounting frame 100 and ensure the installation stability between the two.

[0072] Optional, reference Figure 7 The connecting portion 320 may be provided with a through hole for the first fastener 410 to pass through. Optionally, the cross-sectional shape of the opening of the through hole in the first direction may be a right angle. The right-angle opening provides positioning and guidance for the first fastener 410, and also enhances the structural strength of the connecting portion 320, thereby dispersing stress and avoiding deformation or rupture of the connecting portion 320 due to uneven force.

[0073] In some embodiments, in combination Figures 1 to 4 The photovoltaic component connection mechanism includes a locking component 400 , and the locking component 400 includes a first fastener 410 . The first fastener 410 is penetrated through the installation gap and is used to connect the connecting portion 320 and the support plate 200 .

[0074] Optionally, the first fastener 410 may be made of a high-strength, corrosion-resistant material, and the design of the first fastener 410 may include threads, locking devices, etc. to ensure its fastening effect and ensure its stability in harsh environments.

[0075] Optional, reference Figures 1 to 4 The first fastener 410 can be a hexagon socket bolt group, a U-bolt group, etc., which can be selected according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0076] In this way, it can be understood that the first fastener 410 is inserted into the installation gap, and the connection between the photovoltaic component 10 and the support body 20 is reinforced by connecting the connecting portion 320 of the limit member 300 and the support plate 200. The design of the first fastener 410 plays an additional fixing role, preventing the limit portion 310 from loosening due to external factors such as wind pressure, vibration, etc.

[0077] It can be seen that by designing the locking component 400, the photovoltaic component connection mechanism is further reinforced on the original basis. This design ensures the stability of the photovoltaic component 10 during installation and subsequent use, and reduces potential risks that may be caused by loose connections.

[0078] In addition, the design of the locking assembly 400 also provides convenience during future maintenance and replacement. If the photovoltaic assembly 10 needs to be replaced or repaired, these fasteners can be easily removed and reinstalled without causing damage to the overall structure, thereby ensuring convenient maintenance.

[0079] In some embodiments, in combination Figures 1 to 4The locking assembly 400 further includes an elastic member 420 , which is sleeved on the first fastener 410 , and two ends of the elastic member 420 are respectively in contact with the support plate 200 and the connecting portion 320 .

[0080] It can be seen that the first fastener 410 is inserted into the installation gap, and is used to connect the connecting part 320 of the limit member 300 and the support plate 200 to provide a fastening effect, and the elastic member 420 abuts against the connecting part 320 and the support body 20 respectively, and applies force to the support plate 200 and the connecting part 320 respectively, thereby enhancing the installation fastening of the first fastener 410, strengthening its installation strength, and preventing loosening.

[0081] It can be understood that the elastic member 420 is sleeved on the first fastener 410, and its two ends are tightly abutted against the support plate 200 and the connecting portion 320 respectively. The elastic member 420 plays a role of buffering and compensation, and can absorb the stress that may be generated by thermal expansion of the photovoltaic component 10, wind pressure changes or slight deformation of the support body 20.

[0082] Optionally, the elastic member 420 may be made of rubber, spring or other materials with high elasticity and durability. This design can ensure that an appropriate amount of elastic deformation can occur when subjected to external force, thereby protecting the connection structure from damage.

[0083] In addition, the introduction of the elastic member 420 also enhances the stability of the connection structure. The elastic member 420 can resist external loads and vibrations to a certain extent, and also enables the connection structure to better adapt to the slight difference between the stopper 300 and the support body 20. This adaptability helps to reduce errors and stress concentration during installation and improve the accuracy and reliability of installation. The elastic member 420 also helps to extend the service life of the connection structure and the photovoltaic module 10 by absorbing stress and reducing vibration, reducing the risk of fatigue damage and loosening caused by long-term stress, and providing a guarantee for the long-term stable operation of the photovoltaic power station.

[0084] Optional, combined Figures 1 to 4 The locking assembly 400 also includes a gasket 430, which can be designed at the connection between the first fastener 410 and the connecting part 320 or the support plate 200, thereby increasing the contact area between the first fastener 410 and the connecting part 320 or the support plate 200, and has the functions of enhancing the fastening force, relieving stress distribution, and preventing loosening, thereby ensuring the connection stability and reliability of the first fastener 410.

[0085] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 2 and Figure 4The mounting frame 100 includes a frame body 110, a first mounting portion 120 and a second mounting portion 130, wherein the frame body 110 is the main structure of the mounting frame 100, providing sufficient strength and rigidity to support the weight of the photovoltaic module 10 and resist external loads. The frame body 110 can be made of metal, alloy or other high-strength materials to ensure stability and durability.

[0086] The first mounting portion 120 and the second mounting portion 130 are disposed on the frame 110 at intervals along the first direction. The photovoltaic assembly 10 is disposed on the first mounting portion 120 , and the second mounting portion 130 is fixedly disposed on the support plate 200 .

[0087] It can be seen that the first mounting portion 120 is used to mount the photovoltaic component 10. Optionally, the first mounting portion 120 can adopt a groove, a boss or other mounting structure. The design of the first mounting portion 120 can ensure that the photovoltaic component 10 is firmly fixed at a preset position, thereby ensuring its installation stability.

[0088] The second mounting portion 130 is fixedly disposed on the support plate 200. Optionally, the second mounting portion 130 can connect the mounting frame 100 to the support plate 200 by bolts, welding or other connection methods. The design of the second mounting portion 130 can ensure the stability and reliability of the connection mechanism and prevent the photovoltaic module 10 from being damaged or the performance degradation caused by loose connection.

[0089] It can be seen that the photovoltaic component 10 is arranged on the first mounting part 120, and the second mounting part 130 is fixedly arranged on the support plate 200 to realize the connection between the photovoltaic component 10 and the support plate 200. Optionally, the photovoltaic component 10 in this design can be preset adjusted during the installation process. For example, the inclination angle or height of the photovoltaic component 10 can be adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to different lighting conditions and installation environments.

[0090] Thus, the fixed connection between the second mounting portion 130 and the support plate 200 enhances the stability of the entire connection mechanism, ensures the stability of the photovoltaic assembly 10 during installation, and prevents the connection from being loosened or damaged due to external factors such as wind pressure, vibration, etc.

[0091] In addition, the refined design of the mounting frame 100 also improves the flexibility and stability of the installation of the photovoltaic module 10. This design allows the installation position and angle of the photovoltaic module 10 to be adjusted according to actual needs, and further ensures the stability and reliability of the connection structure, providing higher flexibility and stability for the installation and fixation of the photovoltaic module 10, thereby improving the overall performance of the photovoltaic power station.

[0092] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 2 and Figure 4The first mounting portion 120 is provided with a mounting groove 121 opening along the second direction, and the photovoltaic module 10 is clamped in the mounting groove 121. Optionally, the first direction and the second direction are at a preset angle, and preferably, the first direction may be perpendicular to the second direction.

[0093] It can be understood that the first mounting portion 120 is a part of the mounting frame 100 , and the first mounting portion 120 is designed to mount and fix the photovoltaic assembly 10 . The first mounting portion 120 has an open mounting groove 121 along the second direction.

[0094] The opening of the mounting groove 121 can be designed to allow the photovoltaic module 10 to slide in from one side, and then be fixed by the side wall of the mounting groove 121. The design of the mounting groove 121 can improve the ease of installation of the photovoltaic module 10. The operator only needs to align the edge of the photovoltaic module 10 with the opening of the mounting groove 121, and then push it to slide into the groove and fix it. This installation method does not require complex fixing devices or additional fasteners, saving installation time and cost.

[0095] Once the photovoltaic component 10 is stuck in the installation groove 121, the side wall of the installation groove 121 will provide a preset supporting force to ensure that the photovoltaic component 10 will not loosen or fall off during the installation process. This fixing method is stable and reliable, and can also adapt to the expansion and contraction that may occur in the photovoltaic component 10 in different environments.

[0096] In addition, the design of the mounting groove 121 also provides convenience during the maintenance and replacement of the photovoltaic module 10. If the photovoltaic module 10 needs to be replaced or repaired, the operator can remove it from the mounting groove 121 without causing damage to the overall structure. In addition, by fixing the photovoltaic module 10 in a clamping manner, the design of the mounting groove 121 enhances the stability of the connection structure, ensures the stability of the photovoltaic module 10 during the installation process, and prevents the connection from being loosened or damaged due to external factors.

[0097] Optionally, a reinforcement member 510 may be designed at the mounting groove 121 . Exemplarily, the reinforcement member 510 may include adhesive, a reinforced matching component, etc., to further improve the connection stability between the photovoltaic component 10 and the first mounting portion 120 .

[0098] Optionally, the design of the mounting groove 121 may be flexible. For example, the shape, size and opening direction of the groove may be adjusted to accommodate photovoltaic modules 10 of different models, sizes and installation requirements. This design enhances the adaptability of the mounting frame 100 to different photovoltaic modules 10 so that it can be widely used in a variety of photovoltaic power stations.

[0099] In this way, the first mounting portion 120 is designed with a mounting groove 121 opening along the second direction, which provides a simple, stable and easy-to-maintain fixing solution for the connection mechanism of the photovoltaic component 10. This design improves the installation efficiency and enhances the stability of the connection mechanism, providing a guarantee for the stable operation of the photovoltaic power station.

[0100] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The support plate 200 is provided with a first limiting groove 220 along the third direction, and the second mounting portion 130 is disposed in the first limiting groove 220 .

[0101] It is understandable that the support plate 200 is a supporting component in the photovoltaic module connection mechanism, providing a plane required for installing and fixing the photovoltaic module 10. Optionally, the support plate 200 can be made of metal, alloy or other high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials to ensure long-term stability and durability.

[0102] Optionally, the first limiting groove 220 may be designed to be compatible with the second mounting portion 130 to ensure that the second mounting portion 130 can be firmly disposed in the limiting groove.

[0103] It can be seen that the design of the first limiting groove 220 provides a preset installation position 210 for the second mounting portion 130. Specifically, the operator aligns the second mounting portion 130 with the opening of the limiting groove and then pushes it in to achieve the installation of the mounting frame 100. This installation method reduces errors and uncertainties in the installation process and improves the accuracy of the installation.

[0104] Once the second mounting portion 130 is disposed in the first limiting groove 220, the second mounting portion 130 will be supported by the side walls and bottom walls of the limiting groove. This supporting function can ensure the stability of the photovoltaic module connection mechanism during the installation process and subsequent use, and prevent the connection from loosening or being damaged due to external factors such as wind pressure, vibration, etc.

[0105] In this way, the support plate 200 is provided with a first limiting groove 220 along the third direction, and the second mounting portion 130 is arranged in the limiting groove. This design provides an accurate, stable and easy-to-maintain fixing solution for the connection mechanism of the photovoltaic component 10. This design improves the accuracy and stability of the installation, optimizes the installation and maintenance process, and ensures the stable operation of the photovoltaic power station.

[0106] Optional, combined Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Fig. 9The opening of the first limiting groove 220 in the first direction can be designed as a closing or limiting design to prevent the limiting protrusion 511 from sliding out of the opening of the first limiting groove 220 in the first direction, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the reinforcement member 510.

[0107] In some embodiments, in combination Figures 1 to 4 The reinforcement component 500 is disposed on the side of the second mounting portion 130 facing away from the support plate 200. The reinforcement component 500 is fixedly connected to the support plate 200 and is pressed against the second mounting portion 130 to enhance the stability of the photovoltaic component connection mechanism. The arrangement of the reinforcement component 500 can prevent deformation or damage caused by external factors such as wind pressure and equipment weight, and ensure the stable operation of the photovoltaic system.

[0108] Optionally, the fixed connection between the reinforcement component 500 and the support plate 200 may include multiple methods, such as bolt connection, welding, etc. For example, the bolt connection may be selected because of its strong structure and high reliability. The reinforcement component 500 and the support plate 200 are tightly connected together by bolts to ensure that the connection between the two is stable and not easy to loosen.

[0109] Optionally, the fixed connection method between the reinforcement component 500 and the support plate 200 may also include a clamping connection, a plug connection, etc., which can be selected according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0110] The press fit between the reinforcement component 500 and the second mounting portion 130 achieves a further reinforcement effect. Optionally, the reinforcement component 500 can be configured to have an elastic structure, which can produce a preset deformation and absorb energy when the second mounting portion 130 is subjected to pressure. Optionally, the surface of the reinforcement component 500 can be designed to increase anti-slip or friction to ensure a close fit with the second mounting portion 130 and prevent sliding.

[0111] It can be seen that the design of the reinforcement assembly 500 further ensures the installation stability of the photovoltaic assembly 10 and ensures the stability and safety of the photovoltaic system.

[0112] In some embodiments, in combination Figures 1 to 4 The reinforcement component 500 includes a reinforcement member 510 and a second fastener 520, wherein the reinforcement member 510 is disposed on a side of the second mounting portion 130 away from the support plate 200 to provide additional support and fixation for the mounting frame 100 to enhance the stability of the photovoltaic component connection mechanism.

[0113] Optionally, the reinforcement 510 can be made of metal, alloy or other high-strength materials to ensure that the reinforcement 510 can withstand the weight of the photovoltaic module 10 and the pressure of the external environment, such as wind pressure, snow pressure, etc. The design of the reinforcement 510 ensures the stability and safety of the photovoltaic module 10.

[0114] The second fastener 520 penetrates the support plate 200, the second mounting portion 130 and the reinforcement 510 along the first direction, so that the second fastener 520 can tightly connect the three to form a stable connection structure. Optionally, the second fastener 520 can be in the form of common fasteners such as bolts and screws, and its size and material should be selected according to actual needs. Optionally, the second fastener 520 and the reinforcement 510 can be matched and connected. For example, the second fastener 520 is provided with a thread, and the reinforcement 510 is provided with a thread matching portion adapted to the thread. The design of the second fastener 520 not only enhances the stability of the connection structure, but also helps to prevent loosening or deformation that may be caused by long-term operation.

[0115] In this way, through the reasonable design, installation and use of the reinforcement component 500, the overall stability and safety of the photovoltaic component connection mechanism are improved, further providing a guarantee for the stable operation of the photovoltaic system.

[0116] In some embodiments, in combination Figures 8 to 10 The reinforcing member 510 is provided with a limiting protrusion 511, and the support plate 200 is provided with a second limiting groove 240 for accommodating the limiting protrusion 511 along the first direction to limit the reinforcing member 510. Optionally, the second limiting groove 240 extends along a third direction (such as toward the paper surface). Optionally, the second limiting groove 240 can be provided on the positioning protrusion 230.

[0117] Optionally, the third direction is at a preset angle with the first direction and the second direction, respectively. Preferably, the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction.

[0118] It can be understood that the limiting protrusion 511 is a protruding portion on the reinforcing member 510, which is used to cooperate with the second limiting groove 240 provided on the supporting plate 200 to achieve the limiting of the reinforcing member 510 in the second direction.

[0119] The second limiting groove 240 is a groove opened on the support plate 200 along the first direction. Accordingly, the limiting protrusion 511 can slide along the second limiting groove 240 toward the third direction. The cross-sectional shapes and sizes of the second limiting groove 240 and the limiting protrusion 511 match.

[0120] In this way, when the limiting protrusion 511 of the reinforcement 510 is inserted into the second limiting groove 240 of the support plate 200, the second limiting groove 240 will provide guidance in the third direction for the limiting protrusion 511, and form a limit in the second direction. In this way, when the reinforcement component 500 is installed, the limiting protrusion 511 can be set at one end of the second limiting groove 240, and slide in the third direction through the second limiting groove 240, so as to realize the rapid movement and positioning of the reinforcement 510 and speed up the installation efficiency. In addition, the limitation of the limiting protrusion 511 in the second direction by the second limiting groove 240 further ensures the installation stability of the reinforcement 510.

[0121] In some embodiments, the support plate 200 extends along the purlin, or forms a preset angle with the purlin along the first direction or the second direction. Optionally, the angle can be 10°, 15°, 25°, 33°, 65°, 80°, 90°, etc. The specific design can be based on actual needs and is not limited here.

[0122] It is understandable that if the pallet 200 is designed to extend along the purlin, the pallet 200 can be directly attached to the installation surface of the purlin and remain parallel or nearly parallel to the purlin. This layout can be used to provide a continuous support surface with a strong load-bearing effect.

[0123] If the support plate 200 is designed to be at a preset angle with the purlin along the first direction or the second direction, the preset angle can be determined based on structural requirements, space limitations or functional requirements, and can be designed according to actual needs, and is not limited here.

[0124] In this way, multiple possibilities for the relative position and angle relationship between the support plate 200 and the purlin are provided, so that the photovoltaic component connection mechanism can be designed for a variety of installation forms and installation scenarios, improving the versatility and adaptability, and ensuring the installation stability of the photovoltaic component 10 in a variety of installation forms.

[0125] On the other hand, the embodiment of the present application further provides a photovoltaic system, which may include the photovoltaic assembly connection mechanism in any of the above embodiments. The photovoltaic system may include an offshore photovoltaic system, and may also include a photovoltaic system in a mountain, desert, Gobi, etc.

[0126] The photovoltaic system is designed with the above-mentioned photovoltaic component connection mechanism. Compared with the traditional photovoltaic component 10 directly bolted and fixed installation form, the design provides more connection points and a larger connection area, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection. In addition, by designing the limit member 300, the fixation between the installation frame 100 and the support body 20 is achieved, the installation connection points are increased, and the connection stability is further improved.

[0127] In this way, a variety of connection methods are achieved, and each component can be combined and adjusted according to actual installation requirements, ensuring the flexibility and adaptability of the installation, enhancing the stability and reliability of the connection, and providing a guarantee for the stable operation of the photovoltaic system.
