[0027] It can be understood that the guide rail member 2 is clamped and connected to the purlin 3 on the top of the carport through the clamping member 1. Compared with the traditional punching connection, the assembly is more convenient and there is no need to consider the problem of punching. After the photovoltaic module is assembled on the guide rail member 2, it can be used as the ceiling of the carport.

[0028] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, the clamping member 1 includes a clamping plate 104 and a clamping clamp. The clamping plate 104 is clamped with the guide rail member 2 and connected to the clamping clamp through a clamping bolt 105. The clamping clamp is clamped and connected to the purlin 3 through a connecting bolt.

[0029] It can be understood that the clamping plate 104 is clamped with the guide rail component 2, and the guide rail component 2 is attached to the purlin 3.

[0031] It can be understood that the connecting plate and the clamping plate 104 can be an integral structure, the vertical plate 103 is vertically connected to the connecting plate, the support plate 101 is vertically connected to the vertical plate 103, and the support plate 101 is parallel to the connecting plate, the support plate 101 and the connecting plate are respectively located on both sides of the vertical plate 103, and the locking bolts are threadedly connected to the support plate 101 and the C-shaped plate 102, so that the vertical plate 103 and the C-shaped plate 102 cooperate to clamp the purlin 3, the purlin 3 can be a C-shaped purlin, and a baffle can also be vertically arranged on the connecting plate, the baffle can cooperate with the vertical plate to half-wrap the locking bolt, and the clamping clamp of this structure can be conveniently connected and fixed to the purlin 3.

[0032] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, the guide rail component 2 includes a guide rail body, a connecting piece 205 and a clamping piece 201, the clamping piece 201 is assembled on the guide rail body, the connecting piece 205 is connected to both sides of the guide rail body, and the connecting piece is clamped with the clamping plate 104 so that the guide rail body is close to the purlin 3.

[0033] It is understandable that the connecting piece 205 can be vertically connected to the guide rail body, the guide rail body is used to support the photovoltaic module, and the clamping member 201 is used to press the photovoltaic module onto the guide rail body. The guide rail component 2 of this structure has a simple structure and is convenient for clamping and fixing the photovoltaic module.

[0034] Please continue reading Figure 3 In some embodiments, the connecting piece 205 includes a first piece and a second piece, the second piece is connected to the guide rail body through the first piece, and a first snap-in groove is formed between the first piece, the second piece and the guide rail body.

[0035] It can be known that the first sheet is vertically connected to the first sheet, the second sheet is vertically connected to the first sheet, and the second sheet is parallel to the guide rail body, so that a first snap-in groove is formed between the first sheet, the second sheet and the guide rail body, and the side is vertically connected to the plate body, and a second snap-in groove is provided near the intersection of the plate body and the side plate. The connecting piece 205 of this structure is convenient and quick to snap-in with the snap-in plate 104.

[0036] Please continue reading Figure 3 In some embodiments, the guide rail body includes a main body 202, a flow guide bearing portion 203 and a connecting portion 204, the flow guide bearing portion 203 is connected to both sides of the main body 202, the connecting portion 204 is connected to the flow guide bearing portion 203, the connecting piece 205 is connected to the connecting portion 204, and the clamping member 201 is connected to the main body 202.

[0037] It can be understood that the diversion bearing part 203 is used to carry photovoltaic components on the one hand, and on the other hand, after the pressing piece 201 presses the photovoltaic components onto the diversion bearing part 203, there may be a certain gap between adjacent photovoltaic components. Therefore, rainwater will flow into the diversion bearing part 203 along the gap between the pressing piece 201 and the photovoltaic panel. The diversion bearing part 203 diverts the water to avoid the problem of rainwater leakage. The connecting part 204 can be vertically connected to the connecting piece 205, and the connecting part 204 can be a U-shaped steel structure.

The clamping block 201b is arranged at the end of the elastic body 201c, the clamping block 201d is arranged on the elastic body 201c, and the extrusion bolt 201a is threadedly connected in the elastic body 201c. Correspondingly, the main body 202 includes a main body plate, a plug-in slot is opened on the main body plate, and a limit block is arranged on the inner wall of the plug-in slot. The flow guide bearing part 203 is connected to both sides of the main body plate. In the initial state, the elastic body 201c is plugged into the plug-in slot, and under the action of external force, the elastic body 201c is deformed so that the clamping block 201d passes over the limit block. In the clamped state, the extrusion bolt 201a is threadedly connected in the elastic body 201c so that the elastic body 201c remains in a stable state, thereby making the elastic body 201c clamped in the plug-in slot.

[0039] It can be known that the elastic body 201c can include a ring body and arc bodies symmetrically arranged on both sides of the ring body, the arc body and the ring body can be an integral structure, the clamping block 201b is arranged on the ring body, and the number of the clamping blocks 201b varies according to the position. When the clamping member 201 is located between two photovoltaic modules, it can be two clamping blocks 201b, and when it is only used to clamp a photovoltaic module, it can have only one clamping block 201b. The clamping block 201d is arranged on the arc body. In the initial state, the arc body is squeezed by external force. The body is inserted into the plug-in slot, and under the action of external force, the arc body is deformed so that the clamping block 201d can go over the limit block. When the extrusion bolt thread 201a is connected in the annular body and is located between the two arc bodies, in this case, the two arc bodies are kept in a stable state, that is, the distance between the two arc bodies remains unchanged. In this case, the clamping block 201d cannot go over the limit block, so that the clamping piece 201 is quickly connected to the main plate, and the clamping block presses the photovoltaic component on the guide bearing part, thereby achieving clamping and fixation of the photovoltaic component.
