The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0040] Reference will be made below to Figures 1-5 Describe the fixture 3 and the photovoltaic module 200 according to the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0041] Refer to Figures 1-5, the fixture 3 according to the first aspect embodiment of the present utility model includes: a first clamping member 31 and a second clamping member 32; the second clamping member 32 is disposed opposite to the first clamping member 31; a mounting bracket 33, the mounting bracket 33 is connected to the second clamping member 32, and the mounting bracket 33 includes two relatively disposed mounting plates 331, and the two mounting plates 331 jointly define a clamping groove 332.

[0042] Wherein, the photovoltaic support 1 includes a support main body 11 and a plurality of first connection parts 12. The plurality of first connection parts 12 are disposed on the support main body 11 and are arranged at intervals along a first direction (as shown by the e1 direction in the reference figure). The support member 2 is disposed below the photovoltaic support 1 and includes a support column 23 and a second connection part 21 connected to the upper end of the support column 23. One of the first connection part 12 and the second connection part 21 forms a limiting groove 13 and the other forms a limiting boss 22 received in the limiting groove 13, and the first direction intersects with the up-down direction (as shown by the e2 direction in the reference figure).

[0043] Specifically, the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32 are disposed opposite to each other along the up-down direction, and the photovoltaic panel 10 is clamped between the opposite surfaces of the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32. The first clamping member 31 is disposed above the second clamping member 32, and the mounting bracket 33 is disposed below the second clamping member 32. The photovoltaic panel 10 is clamped at least at one of the two opposite ends of the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32 along the first direction.

[0044] The mounting bracket 33 and the second clamping member 32 are on the side opposite to the first clamping member 31, that is, connected to the lower surface of the second clamping member 32. At least one of the two mounting plates 331 of the mounting bracket 33 is connected to the second clamping member 32. It can be that both mounting plates 331 are connected to the second clamping member 32, or one of the mounting plates 331 is connected to the second clamping member 32 and the other mounting plate 331 is connected to connect the mounting bracket 33 to the second clamping member 32. The clamping groove 332 is in clamping connection with the first connection part 12 of the photovoltaic support 1.

[0045] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 , both ends of the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32 along the first direction opposite to each other can each clamp a photovoltaic panel 10.

[0046] Optionally, refer to Figure 4 , only one end of the two ends of the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32 along the first direction opposite to each other can be used to clamp the photovoltaic panel 10.

[0047] Optionally, the first clamping member 31, the second clamping member 32 and the mounting bracket 33 are made of a metal material. For example, the first clamping member 31, the second clamping member 32 and the mounting bracket 33 are made of aluminum alloy profiles to ensure the strength of the fixture 3.

[0048] Optionally, the two mounting pieces 331 are detachably connected, and one of the two mounting pieces 331 is fixedly connected to the second clamping member 32.

[0049] Optionally, the two mounting pieces 331 are fitted together at the ends connected to the second clamping member 32.

[0050] Optionally, the number of the clamps 3 is multiple, and each clamp 3 is respectively engaged with a first connecting portion 12.

[0051] Optionally, with reference to Figure 6 , multiple clamps 3 can jointly clamp the same photovoltaic panel 10.

[0052] For the clamp 3 according to the embodiment of the present utility model, the two mounting pieces 331 in the mounting frame 33 are oppositely arranged and jointly define a clamping groove 332, so that the clamp 3 can be engaged and connected with the photovoltaic support 1 through the clamping groove 332, thereby quickly installing the clamp 3 on the photovoltaic support 1 and improving the installation efficiency. The photovoltaic panel 10 is clamped between the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32, and the second clamping member 32 is connected to the mounting frame 33, thereby improving the installation efficiency while providing stable support for the photovoltaic panel 10.

[0053] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 5 , according to some embodiments of the present utility model, the clamping groove 332 has a mounting opening 3322 that opens downward.

[0054] Specifically, the clamping groove 332 is defined between the opposite surfaces of the two mounting pieces 331. The first connecting portion 12 of the photovoltaic support 1 is received into the clamping groove 332 through the mounting opening 3322. The inner contour shape of the clamping groove 332 matches that of the first connecting portion 12. The mounting opening 3322 can be formed at the middle position of the mounting piece 331 in the up-down direction.

[0055] The limiting boss 22 is received into the limiting groove 13, so that the first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 21 are engaged and connected, and the whole formed by the engagement and connection of the first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 21 is jointly received in the clamping groove 332 through the mounting opening 3322.

[0056] Optionally, the upper end of one mounting piece 331 extends vertically in the up-down direction and is fixedly connected to the second clamping member 32, and the upper end of the other mounting piece 331 extends vertically in the up-down direction until it abuts against the lower surface of the second clamping member 32, and then bends in the first direction towards the opposite mounting piece 331 until it is embedded in the upper end of the mounting piece 331 opposite to itself. The bent portion of the upper end of the mounting piece 331 in the first direction is vertically opposite to the mounting opening 3322.

[0057] Furthermore, the mounting piece 331 fixedly connected to the second clamping member 32 is integrally formed with the second clamping member 32.

[0058] In this way, by accommodating the first connecting portion 12 of the photovoltaic bracket 1 into the engaging groove 332 through the mounting opening 3322, the fixture 3 is engaged with the photovoltaic bracket 1, so that the fixture 3 and the photovoltaic bracket 1 can be quickly disassembled.

[0059] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 , according to some embodiments of the present invention, the two mounting pieces 331 are arranged opposite to each other in the first direction, the first direction intersects with the up and down direction, each mounting piece 331 includes a first engaging portion 3311 and a second engaging portion 3312 located below the first engaging portion 3311, the two first engaging portions 3311 are opposite to each other in the first direction, the two second engaging portions 3312 are opposite to each other in the first direction, and in the direction from bottom to top, the distance between the two first engaging portions 3311 in the first direction gradually decreases, and the distance between the two second engaging portions 3312 in the first direction gradually decreases.

[0060] Specifically, the two mounting pieces 331 are arranged opposite to each other in the first direction below the second clamping member 32. The first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32 can be in a plate shape or a sheet shape and extend in the first direction to improve balance and stability. The mounting piece 331 is in a zigzag sheet shape. The first engaging portion 3311 is close to the upper end of the mounting piece 331, and the second engaging portion 3312 is located at the lower end of the mounting piece 331. The first connecting portion 12 of the photovoltaic bracket 1 sequentially passes through the interval between the two second engaging portions 3312 and the interval between the two first engaging portions 3311 from bottom to top to be inserted into the engaging groove 332.

[0061] The two first engaging portions 3311 are opposite to each other in the first direction and the distance between them gradually decreases from bottom to top. The first engaging portion 3311 is inclined towards the other first engaging portion 3311 opposite to it, and the distance between the upper ends of the first engaging portions 3311 is smaller than the distance between the lower ends of the first engaging portions 3311. The two engaging portions are opposite to each other in the first direction and the distance between them gradually decreases from bottom to top. The second engaging portion 3312 is inclined towards the other second engaging portion 3312 opposite to it, and the distance between the upper ends of the second engaging portions 3312 is smaller than the distance between the lower ends of the second engaging portions 3312.

[0062] Optionally, reference Figure 2 , the trend of the distance between the two first engaging portions 3311 in the first direction and the distance between the two second engaging portions 3312 in the first direction decreasing can be the same, then the slopes of the first engaging portion 3311 and the second engaging portion 3312 are the same. That is to say, the first engaging portion 3311 and the second engaging portion 3312 on the same mounting piece 331 are parallel to each other.

[0063] In this way, by arranging the two mounting pieces 331 oppositely along the first direction, and the distances between the two first engaging portions 3311 and the distances between the two second engaging portions 3312 both gradually decrease from bottom to top along the first direction, such that the lower ends of the two engaging slots 332 have a larger opening while the upper ends are tightened, which is beneficial for the first connecting portion 12 to be inserted into the engaging slot 332 from bottom to top and plays a certain limiting role on the photovoltaic support 1.

[0064] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 , according to some embodiments of the present invention, along the first direction, the distance between the lower ends of the two first engaging portions 3311 is greater than the distance between the upper ends of the two second engaging portions 3312, and the mounting opening 3322 is formed between the upper ends of the two second engaging portions 3312.

[0065] Specifically, in the direction from bottom to top, the distance between the two first engaging portions 3311 along the first direction gradually decreases, and the distance between the two second engaging portions 3312 along the first direction gradually decreases. Therefore, the distance between the two first engaging portions 3311 along the first direction is the largest at the lower ends of the first engaging portions 3311, and the distance between the two second engaging portions 3312 along the first direction is the smallest at the upper ends of the second engaging portions 3312. In this embodiment, the distance between the lower ends of the two first engaging portions 3311 is greater than the distance between the upper ends of the two second engaging portions 3312, and the mounting piece 331 widens outward along the first direction at the upper ends of the second engaging portions 3312 to be connected from the upper ends of the second engaging portions 3312 to the first engaging portions 3311.

[0066] In this way, by setting the distance between the lower ends of the first engaging portions 3311 along the first direction to be greater than the distance between the upper ends of the second engaging portions 3312 along the first direction, the distance between the two mounting pieces 331 along the first direction shows a trend of first decreasing, then increasing, and then decreasing again from bottom to top, so as to form a relatively converging mounting opening 3312 at the upper ends of the second engaging portions 3312 and widen the opening at the lower ends of the first engaging portions 3311, which is convenient for accurate positioning when the photovoltaic support 1 is engaged with the mounting frame 33, and is beneficial for limiting the first connecting portion 12 accommodated in the engaging slot 332, increasing the connection stability between the mounting frame 33 and the photovoltaic support 1.

[0067] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 , according to some embodiments of the present invention, a transition portion 3313 is connected between the lower ends of the first engaging portions 3311 and the upper ends of the second engaging portions 3312, and the transition portion 3313 is formed into an arc shape.

[0068] Specifically, the mounting piece 331 bends away from the other mounting piece 331 opposite to it at the transition part 3313 between the first engaging part 3311 and the second engaging part 3312. The upper end of the transition part 3313 is connected to the lower end of the first engaging part 3311, and the lower end of the transition part 3313 is connected to the upper end of the second engaging part 3312. The transition part 3313 is formed into an arc shape, and the curvature of the transition part 3313 can change gradually from top to bottom. For example, the upper end of the transition part 3313 is tangent to the lower end of the first engaging part 3311, so that the transition part 3313 is smoothly connected to the first engaging part 3311, and the lower end of the transition part 3313 intersects with the upper end of the second engaging part 3312.

[0069] In this way, by connecting an arc-shaped transition part 3313 between the lower end of the first engaging part 3311 and the upper end of the second engaging part 3312, during the process of the first connecting part 12 being received into the engaging groove 332 through the mounting opening 3322, it is beneficial to reduce the friction and resistance between the first connecting part 12 and the engaging groove 332, and it is beneficial for the first connecting part 12 to be smoothly received into the engaging groove 332; and the arc-shaped transition part 3313 is beneficial to disperse stress, and enables the first connecting part 12 to be stably received in the engaging groove 332, so as to reduce or avoid the first connecting part 12 shaking relative to the engaging groove 332 or disengaging from the engaging groove 332.

[0070] Reference Figure 5 , according to some embodiments of the present utility model, the mounting opening 3322 is formed between the upper ends of the two second engaging parts 3312. The dimension of the mounting opening 3322 in the first direction is smaller than the maximum dimension of the first connecting part 12 in the first direction.

[0071] Specifically, the dimension of the mounting opening 3322 in the first direction is the distance between the upper ends of the second engaging parts 3312 in the first direction. The maximum dimension of the first connecting part 12 in the first direction is the maximum value of the distance between the two opposite wall surfaces of the first connecting part 12 in the first direction. The dimension of the mounting opening 3322 in the first direction is smaller than the maximum dimension of the first connecting part 12 in the first direction. When the first connecting part 12 is received in the engaging groove 332, it is difficult for the first connecting part 12 to disengage from the engaging groove 332 from the open mounting opening 3322.

[0072] Optionally, the maximum dimension of the first connecting part 12 in the first direction can be the dimension of the lower end of the first connecting part 12 in the first direction, that is, the width of the connection part of the first connecting part 12 and the bracket main body 11 in the first direction. The maximum dimension of the first connecting part 12 in the first direction can also be the dimension of the middle part of the first connecting part 12.

[0073] Optionally, for the convenience of assembly, an opening is also formed between the lower ends of the two second engaging portions 3312, and the distance between the second engaging portions 3312 in the first direction is greater than the maximum dimension of the first connecting portion 12 in the first direction.

[0074] It should be noted that the first connecting portion 12 can be inserted between the two mounting pieces 331 before the two mounting pieces 331 are connected in place, and then the two mounting pieces 331 are fitted with each other to form a mounting opening 3322 with a size smaller than the maximum dimension of the first connecting portion 12.

[0075] In this way, the mounting opening 3322 is formed between the upper ends of the two second engaging portions 3312, and the dimension of the mounting opening 3322 in the first direction is smaller than the dimension of the first connecting portion 12 in the first direction, so as to form a narrowed limiting structure between the first engaging portion 3311 and the second engaging portion 3312, making it difficult for the first connecting portion 12 to escape from the engaging groove 332 and improving the connection reliability between the mounting bracket 33 and the photovoltaic support 1.

[0076] Reference Figure 5 , according to some embodiments of the present invention, the fixture 3 further includes an elastic member 34, and the elastic member 34 is disposed on the mutually facing surfaces of the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32, and the elastic member 34 is used for clamping the photovoltaic panel 10.

[0077] Specifically, the elastic member 34 can be made of materials such as rubber or flexible engineering plastics that have elasticity and relatively high strength at the same time. Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in a single fixture 3, the number of the elastic members 34 is at least two, and can also be multiple. For example, reference Figure 5 , the first clamping member 31 has two surfaces opposite to the second clamping member 32 and used for clamping the photovoltaic panel 10. Correspondingly, the second clamping member 32 has two surfaces opposite to the first clamping member 31 and used for clamping the photovoltaic panel 10. At least one elastic member 34 is disposed on each of the above four surfaces where the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32 are opposite.

[0078] In this way, by clamping the photovoltaic panel 10 with the elastic member 34, an elastic contact is formed between the fixture 3 and the photovoltaic panel 10, reducing the collision loss caused by rigid contact and reducing the breakage rate of the photovoltaic panel 10 during the installation process.

[0079] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 , according to some embodiments of the present invention, the elastic member 34 includes a mounting portion 341 and a clamping portion 342 connected to the mounting portion 341. The mounting portion 341 is embedded in the first clamping member 31 or the second clamping member 32, and the two clamping portions 342 respectively fit the two opposite surfaces of the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32, and the cross-sectional area of the clamping portion 342 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the mounting portion 341.

[0080] Specifically, mounting grooves may be formed on the opposite surfaces of the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32, and the mounting portion 341 is embedded in the mounting grooves to fix the elastic member 34 on the first clamping member 31 or the second clamping member 32. The cross-sectional direction of the clamping portion 342 is perpendicular to the direction in which the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32 face each other, and the cross-sectional area of the clamping portion 342 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the mounting portion 341 and is close to the surface area of the first clamping member 31 (or the second clamping member 32) that the clamping portion 342 adheres to and faces the second clamping member 32 (or the first clamping member 31).

[0081] In this way, by the clamping portion 342 adhering to the two opposite surfaces of the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32, the photovoltaic panel 10 is clamped between the two clamping portions 342 to form a large elastic contact surface, so that while ensuring uniform force, the contact surface between the fixture 3 and the photovoltaic panel 10 can bear a greater load. In addition, the mounting portion 341 is embedded in the first clamping member 31 (the second clamping member 32), improving the mounting firmness of the elastic member 34. The cross-sectional area of the clamping portion 342 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the mounting portion 341, thereby appropriately increasing the force-bearing area of the photovoltaic panel 10 under the clamping force.

[0082] Reference Figure 2 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the mounting portion 341 is formed with a first mounting portion 3411 and a second mounting portion 3412 along the direction of embedding in the first clamping member 31 or the second clamping member 32. The second mounting portion 3412 is connected to the clamping portion 342, and the cross-sectional area of the first mounting portion 3411 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the second mounting portion 3412.

[0083] Specifically, the second mounting portion 3412 is connected to the clamping portion 342, the clamping portion 342 is located outside the mounting groove, and the first mounting portion 3411 is embedded deeper in the mounting groove relative to the second mounting portion 3412. Mounting grooves with a longitudinal section in the shape of a "T" or an inverted "T" may be formed on the opposite surfaces of the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32, and the longitudinal section of the mounting portion 341 is in the shape of an inverted "T" or a "T" and is correspondingly fitted with the above-mentioned mounting grooves.

[0084] In this way, by connecting the second mounting portion 3412 to the clamping portion 342, the first mounting portion 3411 is relatively far from the clamping portion 342, and the cross-sectional area of the first mounting portion 3411 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the second mounting portion 3412, so that the mounting portion 341 is not easily separated from the first clamping member 31 or the second clamping member 32, increasing the mounting stability of the elastic member 34.

[0085] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 According to some embodiments of the present invention, protrusions 3422 are formed on the opposite surfaces of the two clamping portions 342.

[0086] Specifically, the two clamping portions 342 are opposite to each other in the up and down direction. The surfaces of the two clamping portions 342 opposite to each other in the up and down direction are the surfaces where the clamping portions 342 contact the photovoltaic panel 10. The height of the protrusion 3422 is relatively small with respect to the thickness of the clamping portion 342. The top end of the protrusion 3422 can be arc-shaped. The number of the protrusions 3422 can be multiple and they are spaced apart on the surface of the clamping portion 342. The present application does not limit the shape, size and number of the protrusions 3422.

[0087] Exemplarily, the protrusion 3422 is strip-shaped, and a plurality of strip-shaped protrusions 3422 are arranged at intervals on the surface of the clamping portion 342 in a first direction.

[0088] In this way, the protrusions 3422 are formed on the opposite surfaces of the clamping portion 342, thereby increasing the friction force between the fixture 3 and the photovoltaic panel 10 and improving the stability and reliability of the installation and fixation of the fixture 3 to the photovoltaic panel 10.

The fastening assembly 35 passes through the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32 and is used to adjust the distance between the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32.

[0090] Specifically, the fastening assembly 35 can adjust the height between the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32 by at least one of the ways such as screw holes and bolts 351, chutes and sliders, sleeves and travel blocks, rotating screws, etc., and passes through the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32 to install and fasten the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32.

[0093] In this way, by passing the fastening assembly 35 through the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32 and adjusting the distance between the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32, it is convenient to clamp photovoltaic panels 10 with different thicknesses, increasing the installation flexibility.

[0094] Reference Figures 1-5According to some embodiments of the present invention, at least one mounting plate 331 is detachably connected to the second clamping member 32. The fastening assembly 35 includes a bolt 351 and a nut 352. The bolt 351 passes through the at least one mounting plate 331, the second clamping member 32 and the first clamping member 31 from bottom to top, and the nut 352 is tightened with the bolt 351 on the side of the first clamping member 31 away from the second clamping member 32.

[0095] Specifically, the bolt 351 may be disposed between the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32 (see Figure 1 ) or one end in the first direction (reference Figure 4 The first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32 are formed with screw holes to accommodate the bolt 351 to pass through, and the positions of the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32 fixed on the bolt 351 are adjusted by threaded connection to adjust the distance between the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32.

[0096] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first clamping member 31 is bent toward the second clamping member 32 at the position where the bolt 351 passes through, so as to form a groove 311 on the side away from the second clamping member 32, providing installation space for the nut 352 and playing a certain limiting role. At the same time, the bending of the first clamping member 31 is also conducive to dispersing stress.

[0097] The two mounting pieces 331 are distributed on both sides of the head 3511 of the bolt 351 along the first direction.

[0098] According to some embodiments of the utility model, at least one mounting piece 331 is detachably connected to the second clamping member 32, and there are the following two situations: (1) both mounting pieces 331 are connected to the second clamping member 32; (2) one mounting piece 331 is connected to the second clamping member 32, and the other mounting piece 331 is connected to the mounting piece 331, and the two mounting pieces 331 are fixed together under the second clamping member 32.

[0099] Exemplarily, one of the two mounting plates 331 is integrally formed with the second clamping member 32, and the other mounting plate 331 is embedded in the mounting plate 331 integrally formed with the second clamping member 32 at its end near the second clamping member 32, and the bolt 351 passes through the end of the mounting plate 331 near the second clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 32 to fix the mounting frame 33 to the second clamping member 32.

[0100] In this embodiment, the fastening assembly 35 may also include a spring washer and a flat washer. The bolt 351 passes through the spring washer and the flat washer in sequence so that the spring washer and the flat washer are clamped between the bolt 351 and the mounting plate 331 or the nut 352 and the first clamping member 31 to increase friction and improve connection strength.

[0101] In this way, by passing the bolt 351 through at least one mounting piece 331, the second clamping member 32, and the first clamping member 31 from bottom to top in sequence, and screwing the nut 352 to the bolt 351 on the side of the first clamping member 31 away from the second clamping member 32, each part of the fixture 3 can be simply and quickly assembled together, so that the fixture 3 is convenient to disassemble, reducing time and labor consumption and improving the installation efficiency.

[0102] Reference Figures 2-4 , according to some embodiments of the present invention, the head 3511 of the bolt 351 has an end face approximately in the shape of a rectangle. The two adjacent sides of the end face of the head 3511 are a long side 351a and a narrow side 351b respectively. The two mounting pieces 331 are opposite to each other along the extension direction of the narrow side 351b, and the distance between the two mounting pieces 331 at the head 3511 of the bolt 351 is less than the length of the long side 351a.

[0103] Specifically, the end face of the head 3511 of the bolt 351 is approximately rectangular, and the long side 351a and the narrow side 351b can have a small arc. The length of the long side 351a is greater than the length of the narrow side 351b. Among them, the length of the long side 351a refers to the maximum distance between two opposite narrow sides 351b, and the length of the narrow side 351b refers to the maximum distance between two opposite long sides 351a.

[0104] In a specific embodiment, reference Figure 4 , the long side 351a is a straight edge, the narrow side 351b is an arc edge, the two mounting pieces 331 are opposite to each other along the extension direction of the narrow side 351b, the mounting pieces 331 are parallel to the end face where the long side 351a of the head 3511 is located on both sides of the head 3511 along the first direction, the distance between the mounting pieces 331 at the head 3511 is slightly greater than the length of the narrow side 351b and less than the length of the long side 351a.

[0105] In this way, by utilizing the end face characteristics of the T-shaped bolt 351, setting the two mounting pieces 331 to be opposite to each other along the extension direction of the narrow side 351b and the distance between them at the head 3511 of the bolt 351 to be less than the length of the long side 351a, the two side mounting pieces 331 play a limiting role on the head 3511 of the bolt 351, effectively preventing the bolt 351 from rotating and ensuring the installation efficiency and fastening effect.
