[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, the connecting block is fixedly connected to the connecting tube, one end of the photovoltaic main beam extends into the interior of the connecting tube, and the photovoltaic main beam and the connecting tube are fixedly connected by a second fastener.

[0029] Example

[0030] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a photovoltaic main beam connector includes a tubular member, on which two connecting blocks 1 are fixedly connected, the connecting block 1 includes a fixing surface 4, two connecting surfaces 2 and a top surface 3, the connecting surface 2 connects the fixing surface 4 with the top surface 3 from the left and right sides, the shape of the fixing surface 4 is set to the same shape as the connection part of the tubular member, for example, the connection part between the connecting block 1 and the tubular member is set to an arcuate surface, then the fixing surface 4 is also set to an arcuate surface that can fit tightly with the tubular member, a first through hole 6 is opened between the fixing surface 4 and the top surface 3, a second through hole 8 used in conjunction with the first through hole 6 is opened at the connection between the tubular member and the fixing surface 4, and the first through hole 6 and the second through hole 8 are connected by a first fastener 9.

[0031] In some optional embodiments, the tubular member is set as a photovoltaic main beam 7, such as Figure 1 The photovoltaic main beam 7 shown in the figure is in the shape of a common hollow circular tube, and a second through hole 8 is respectively opened at the top and bottom of the photovoltaic main beam 7. The fixing surface 4 on the connecting block 1 is set as an arc surface that fits the hollow circular tube. The number, aperture size, and position of the first through holes 6 on the connecting block 1 match the second through holes 8 on the photovoltaic main beam 7. The photovoltaic main beam 7 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 1 by a first fastener 9 that penetrates the first through hole 6 and the second through hole 8 in sequence. The connecting block 1 can be set as follows Fig. 9 The long rectangular block shown in the figure, the connecting block 1 can be set as follows Figure 2 , Figure 3 The triangular prism-like structure shown has two connecting surfaces set as inclined surfaces, which can save costs compared with the connecting block 1 with a long rectangular block structure.

[0032] In some optional embodiments, the tubular member is set as a photovoltaic main beam 7, such as Figure 4 The photovoltaic main beam 7 shown in the figure has a rectangular cross section. Since the top surface of the photovoltaic main beam 7 in the shape of a hollow rectangular tube is set as a plane structure, the fixing surface 4 on the connecting block 1 is set as a corresponding plane structure, such as Figure 8 As shown, after the connecting block 1 is fixedly connected to the photovoltaic main beam 7 by the first fastener 9, a large protruding angular structure is formed on the photovoltaic main beam 7.

[0033] In some optional embodiments, the tubular member is set as a photovoltaic main beam 7, such as Figure 5The hollow tubular structure with curved side surfaces and flat upper and lower surfaces is shown. Since the top surface of the photovoltaic main beam 7 in the shape of a hollow rectangular tube is set as a flat structure, the fixed surface 4 on the connecting block 1 is set as a corresponding flat structure. When the connecting block 1 is fixedly connected to the photovoltaic main beam 7 by the first fastener 9, a protruding angular structure with a large protrusion is formed on the photovoltaic main beam 7. When used in conjunction with a polymer bearing 12 of a corresponding shape, the problem of easy slippage between the photovoltaic main beam 7 and the polymer bearing 12 can be effectively solved.

When used with a polymer bearing 12 of a corresponding shape, the problem of the connecting tube 10 and the polymer bearing 12 being prone to slipping can be effectively solved.

[0035] In some optional embodiments, similarly, when the tubular member is set as a connecting tube 10, the shape of the connecting tube 10 also has multiple options, such as a hollow circular tube, a hollow rectangular tube, or a hollow tubular structure with curved side surfaces, upper and lower surface planes, etc. The corresponding fixing surface 4 on the connecting block 1 is set to the same shape as the connection of the connecting tube 10 as needed, such as a plane or a curved surface.

[0036] In some optional embodiments, the first fastener 9 and the second fastener 11 can be configured as T-bolts, rivets, screws or other forms of fastening connection functions. As a preferred solution, Fig. 9 As shown, the first fastener 9 can be set as a T-bolt, the T-head of the T-bolt is set as an arc surface, and the first through hole 6 and the second through hole 8 are both set as rectangular holes. Compared with the screw connection solution, the support on the inner wall of the tubular member is increased, and the structural strength is improved.
