Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of building connection structures, in particular to a flexible bracket connector. Background Art

[0002] During the construction process, different building components often need to be fixed and connected by some connection method. For example, there are three main connection methods for steel bars: welding, mechanical connection, and binding. After the building is formed, due to the influence of factors such as temperature changes, uneven foundation settlement, and earthquakes, the internal structure of the building will produce and deform. If not handled properly, it will cause damage to the building, cracks, or even collapse, affecting its use and safety.

[0003] When the photovoltaic module is installed on the steel cable of the flexible bracket, a connector is needed to fix the frame of the photovoltaic module to the steel cable, so as to fix the photovoltaic module on two adjacent steel cables.

[0004] Existing photovoltaic module mounting brackets are all made of steel or steel plates, and are composed of columns, inclined supports and horizontal brackets to form a slope structure with a triangular cross-section. The vertical side of the triangle is the support column, and the other side is the installation surface with the foundation. The support column is fixed to the installation foundation, and the photovoltaic module is installed on the slope facing the sun. This connection method is an independent installation for each photovoltaic module. If one of the photovoltaic module mounting structures becomes loose, the photovoltaic module will move along the axial direction of the steel cable, thereby affecting other brackets. Therefore, a flexible bracket connector is proposed to solve the above problem. Utility Model Content
