[0039] Specifically, at least two first mounting seats 222 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the curtain wall unit 100 on the support seat 221, so as to cooperate with the curtain wall unit 100 through a plurality of mounting grooves 210 and be positioned by fasteners 300, so that the curtain wall unit 100 is stably connected to the first clamping member 220. Among them, the arrangement of at least two first mounting seats 222 arranged on the support seat 221 can reduce the number of embedded parts 400 on the main structure on the lower side, thereby reducing the installation steps and improving the efficiency of installing the curtain wall unit 100 on the main member 500. Preferably, the number of the first mounting seats 222 is two, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the support seat 221.

[0040] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the support seat 221 includes a support plate 223 and a support portion 225.

The boss 226 passes through the connecting hole 224, and the step wall 227 abuts against the support plate 223, and the step wall 227 is used to support the support plate 223.

[0043] Specifically, the boss 226 is plugged into the connection hole 224, and abuts against the side of the support plate 223 away from the first mounting seat 222 through the step wall 227, so as to limit the support plate 223 from sliding downward relative to the support portion 225, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the support portion 225 and the support plate 223. The boss 226 is welded to the hole wall of the connection hole 224, thereby further improving the stability of the connection between the support portion 225 and the support plate 223. Preferably, the connection hole 224 is arranged in the middle position between the two first mounting seats 222.

[0044] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the support portion 225 includes a support column 228 and a first mounting plate 229, one end of the support column 228 is connected to the support plate 223, and the other end is connected to the first mounting plate 229, the first mounting plate 229 is used to connect to the embedded part 400, and in the height direction of the curtain wall unit 100, the projected outer contour of the support column 228 is located within the projected outer contour of the first mounting plate 229.

[0045] Specifically, the boss 226 and the step wall 227 are disposed on the support column 228 .

[0046] In the height direction of the curtain wall unit 100, the projected outer contour of the support column 228 is located within the projected outer contour of the first mounting plate 229, which can reduce the interference of the support column 228 on the connection between the first mounting plate 229 and the embedded part 400, and at the same time reduce the volume of the support part 225 to achieve lightweight.

[0047] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the second clamping member 230 includes a second mounting seat 231 and a second mounting plate 232 that are connected to each other. The second mounting seat 231 is provided with a mounting groove 210. The second mounting plate 232 is used to connect with the embedded part 400. In the height direction of the curtain wall unit 100, the projected outer contour of the second mounting seat 231 is located within the projected outer contour of the second mounting plate 232.

[0048] Specifically, the second clamping member 230 is disposed above the curtain wall unit 100. In the height direction of the curtain wall unit 100, the projection outer contour of the second mounting seat 231 is located within the projection outer contour of the second mounting plate 232, which can reduce the interference of the second mounting seat 231 on the connection between the second mounting plate 232 and the embedded member 400, and at the same time reduce the volume of the second clamping member 230 to achieve lightweight.

[0049] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the number of the second clamping members 230 is at least two, and at least two second clamping members 230 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the curtain wall unit 100 .

[0050] Specifically, the second clamping members 230 are provided in at least two pieces, which can improve the stability of the connection between the curtain wall unit 100 and the main body member 500 on the upper side. It should be noted that since the second clamping members 230 are provided on the upper side of the curtain wall unit 100 and are not easily visible, there is no need to consider aesthetics, so several more embedded parts 400 can be provided on the main body member 500 on the upper side to connect with the corresponding second clamping members 230, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the photovoltaic curtain wall installation structure and the main body member 500. Preferably, the number of the second clamping members 230 is two, which are respectively connected to the two ends of the frame 120 in the length direction.

[0051] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the fastener 300 includes a fastening column 310 and a fastening block 320. The fastening column 310 is passed through the clamping assembly 200 and the frame 120, and one end of the fastening column 310 abuts against the clamping assembly 200, and the other end extends out of the clamping assembly 200 and is connected to the fastening block 320.

[0052] Specifically, the frame 120 is provided with a mounting hole 130, and the fastening column 310 extends into the mounting groove 210 and passes through the mounting hole 130. One end of the fastening column 310 abuts against the clamping assembly 200, and the other end extends out of the clamping assembly 200 and is connected to the fastening block 320, thereby limiting the fastening column 310 from coming out relative to the clamping assembly 200, improving the stability of the connection between the fastener 300 and the clamping assembly 200, and further improving the stability of the curtain wall unit 100 installed on the clamping assembly 200.

[0053] Among them, since one end of the fastening column 310 is abutted against the clamping assembly 200 and the other end extends out of the clamping assembly 200, both ends of the fastening column 310 are stably supported by the clamping assembly 200, so that the fastening column 310 connected to the first mounting seat 222 can provide stable supporting force to the frame 120, and the fastening column 310 connected to the second mounting seat 231 can provide stable pulling force to the frame 120, thereby improving the stability of the photovoltaic curtain wall installation structure.

[0054] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0055] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
