[0020] Step 4: Fix the photovoltaic panels on the raised parts of adjacent panel units.

[0021] 3. Beneficial effects

[0038] See also Figures 1-4 In a first embodiment of the present invention, a width-adjustable photovoltaic integrated roof panel for buildings includes a plurality of panel units 1. A clamping portion 101 is provided at one end of each panel unit 1. A raised portion 102 is provided at the other end of each panel unit, away from the clamping portion 101. A clamping strip 2 is clamped to the clamping portion 101. The clamping strips 2 of adjacent panel units 1 are mounted within the raised portions 102 of the adjacent panel units 1. The clamping strips 2 are fixedly connected to the building purlins 4 via self-tapping screws 3.

[0039] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 The panel unit 1 includes a substrate 104 and a thermoplastic plate 105 fixed to the upper end of the substrate 104. The length of the thermoplastic plate 105 at one end of the panel unit 1 close to the raised portion 102 is greater than the length of the substrate 104. The end of the panel unit 1 close to the raised portion 102 is fixedly connected to the portion of the adjacent panel unit 1 located between the clamping portion 101 and the raised portion 102 by hot melt fixing. The upper end of the raised portion 102 is fixedly connected to the photovoltaic panel 5.

[0040] The construction process includes the following steps:

[0041] Step 1: Based on the size of the photovoltaic panels 5 and the panel units 1, the installation positions of the multiple panel units 1 are designed and determined. Based on the installation positions of the panel units 1, the clip strips 2 are fixed to the house purlins 4 using self-tapping screws 3;

[0042] Step 2: snap multiple panel units 1 into corresponding snap-fit ​​strips 2, and make the raised portions 102 of adjacent panel units 1 cover the outside of the snap-fit ​​portions 101 of adjacent panel units 1;

[0043] Step 3: Using a hot air welding machine, heat-seal and fix the abutting portions of the adjacent panel units 1 to form a welded portion 106 at the abutting portions of the adjacent panel units 1;

[0044] Specifically, when the hot air welder performs heat-melting processing on adjacent roof panels 1, the welding temperature is 200 degrees Celsius and the pressure is 0.8 MPa.

[0045] Step 4: Fix the photovoltaic panel 5 on the raised portion 102 of the adjacent panel unit 1.

[0046] It should be noted that there are many ways to fix the photovoltaic panel 5 and the raised portion 102, including bolt fixing and adhesive fixing, which are existing technologies and will not be described in detail in this application.

[0047] Compared with traditional rooftop photovoltaic installation panels, the present invention uses a panel unit 1 including a substrate 104 and a thermoplastic board 105, so that one end of the panel unit 1 is fixed by a hot melt connection, thereby improving the flexibility of fixing adjacent panel units 1, facilitating the adjustment of the relative distance between adjacent panel units 1, and adapting to the installation of photovoltaic panels 5 of different specifications and sizes, replacing the traditional roof panels that need to be customized during installation, thereby reducing the production cost and installation difficulty of photovoltaic roof panels. At the same time, the panel unit 1 is provided with a raised portion 102, which is convenient for covering and shielding the snap-on strip 2 and the self-tapping screw 3, thereby improving the waterproofness of the panel unit 1 and the connection. In addition, the raised portion 102 is used to support the installation of the photovoltaic panel 5, so that the bottom of the photovoltaic panel 5 is hollowed out, which facilitates airflow through the hollow cavity and improves the heat dissipation and drainage performance of the photovoltaic roof panel; in addition, the raised portion 102 enables the photovoltaic roof panel to have better bearing capacity and impact resistance.

[0048] In this embodiment, the substrate 104 is made of galvanized steel plate, and the thermoplastic plate 105 is made of thermoplastic polyolefin elastomer or polyvinyl chloride.

[0049] Specifically, the substrate 104 made of aluminum-zinc-coated steel plate has good strength and toughness, and the heating of the thermoplastic plate 105 facilitates rapid hot-melt fixing construction. In addition, the thermoplastic plate 105 made of thermoplastic polyolefin elastomer or polyvinyl chloride has good waterproof properties, which facilitates the formation of an overall waterproof layer on the photovoltaic roof panel.

[0050] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4The portion of the panel unit 1 located between the snap-fit ​​portion 101 and the raised portion 102 is fixedly connected with a plurality of equally spaced positioning bars 103 . The height of the positioning bars 103 is equal to that of the base plate 104 . The positioning bars 103 are integrally formed with the thermoplastic plate 105 .

[0051] Specifically, when splicing and installing adjacent panel units 1, the positioning strips 103 are used to facilitate determining the relative distance between adjacent panel units 1. During splicing, the side wall of the substrate 104 of the panel unit 1 located on the upper side abuts against the side wall of the positioning strip 103 of the panel unit 1 located on the lower side. At this time, one end of the panel unit 1 is clamped by the clamping strip 2, and the other end is abutted by the positioning strip 103, so that the panel unit 1 to be hot-melt fixed is clamped and fixed, thereby improving the stability of the hot-melt fixing operation, reducing the position offset of adjacent panel units 1 during hot-melt construction, and improving the quality of hot-melt construction.

[0052] See also Figure 4 The card strip 2 is provided with a card slot with an opening facing downward, and the card portion 101 is adapted to the card slot of the card strip 2 .

[0053] In this embodiment, the clamping strip 2 is made of aluminum alloy, and its surface is coated with a polyurethane wear-resistant coating.

[0054] Specifically, the service life of the connecting strip 2 is increased.

[0055] See also Figure 2 The cross section of the raised portion 102 is an isosceles trapezoid.

[0056] Specifically, the raised portion 102 with an isosceles trapezoidal cross section is convenient for covering the clamping strip 2 and, at the same time, is convenient for supporting and fixing the photovoltaic panel 5 .

[0057] In the second embodiment of the present invention, see Figures 5-7 A width-adjustable photovoltaic integrated roof panel, wherein an inwardly bent support portion 107 is provided in the middle of the raised portion 102 , and the fixed positions of the photovoltaic panel 5 and the raised portion 102 are located on both sides of the support portion 107 .

[0058] Specifically, the support portion 107 is arranged in the middle position of the raised portion 102 to provide a load capacity for the raised portion 102. At the same time, the inward-bent support portion 107 facilitates the discharge of rainwater discharged from the edge of the photovoltaic panel 5, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity and drainage capacity of the photovoltaic roof panel. In addition, when the photovoltaic roof panel expands and contracts due to heat and is impacted, the support portion 107 undergoes elastic deformation, thereby improving the environmental adaptability and impact resistance of the photovoltaic roof panel.

[0059] See also Figure 5 The support portion 107 and the raised portion 102 are integrally bent and formed, and their cross-section is U-shaped or inverted isosceles trapezoidal.

[0060] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application; however, the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this. Any person skilled in the art, according to the technical solution and the improved concept of the present application, can make equivalent replacement or change within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
