Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic, in particular to a photovoltaic module installation and positioning tooling. Background Art

[0002] At present, photovoltaic power generation has become the second largest power source in China, and more than half of the newly added photovoltaic modules globally are installed in China every year. The domestic photovoltaic modules are mainly installed on the brackets through pressing blocks. With the expansion of the installation scale and the shortage of human resources, how to complete the installation work more efficiently and accurately has brought challenges to the installation team.

[0003] At present, the installation process of the photovoltaic module pressing block mainly includes the following steps: First, the installer measures the data using a ruler according to the design value and makes a marking line on the long side frame of the module. Then, two workers lift the module and place it on the photovoltaic bracket, and adjust the position of the module to align the marking line on the module with the crossbeam of the module bracket to ensure that the installation position of the module meets the design value. Finally, a third worker presses the module frame with a pressing block and locks the pressing block with bolts and nuts to complete the connection between the module and the photovoltaic bracket.

[0004] Among them, during the process of the third worker installing the pressing block and locking the bolts, the other two workers need to hold the module by hand to ensure that the installation position of the module does not move. And before the bolts are locked, it is easy for the position of the module to move, and in this case, the module needs to be repositioned, wasting working hours. In addition, the load of the module is closely related to the installation position of the module pressing block, and it is impossible to prevent mistakes when the worker measures the data with a ruler.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design a photovoltaic module installation and positioning tooling to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a photovoltaic module installation and positioning tooling that can quickly position the photovoltaic module, so as to improve the installation efficiency of the photovoltaic module and save labor costs.

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: A photovoltaic module installation and positioning tooling for positioning a photovoltaic module on a bracket, which includes a first positioning mechanism and a second positioning mechanism. The first positioning mechanism includes a first arm, a second arm and a first mounting arm. The lengths of the first arm and the second arm are adjustable. The first arm and the second arm are respectively used to abut against two adjacent sides L1 and L2 of the photovoltaic module. The first mounting arm is used to be fixed to the bracket. The second positioning mechanism includes a third arm, a fourth arm and a second mounting arm. The lengths of the third arm and the fourth arm are adjustable. The third arm and the fourth arm are respectively used to abut against two adjacent sides L2 and L3 of the photovoltaic module. The second mounting arm is used to be fixed to the bracket.

[0008] As a further improved technical solution of the utility model, the first arm includes two first sub-arms, a first connecting arm and a quick-locking assembly for locking the first connecting arm and the two first sub-arms.

[0009] As a further improved technical solution of the utility model, the second arm includes two second sub-arms, a second connecting arm and a quick-locking assembly for locking the second connecting arm and the two second sub-arms.

[0010] As a further improved technical solution of the utility model, the first mounting arm is fixed to the bracket through a quick lock assembly.

[0011] As a further improved technical solution of the utility model, the quick lock assembly includes a rod, a fixed block fixed to one end of the rod, a movable block passing through the rod, a spring arranged between the fixed block and the movable block, and a cam handle hinged to the other end of the rod.

[0012] As a further improved technical solution of the present invention, one of the second sub-arms is vertically connected to one of the first sub-arms.

[0013] As a further improved technical solution of the utility model, another of the second sub-arms is vertically connected to the first mounting arm.

[0014] As a further improved technical solution of the utility model, the first connecting arm is a U-shaped channel steel, and the second connecting arm is a U-shaped channel steel.

[0015] As a further improved technical solution of the utility model, a boss is provided on the side of the movable block facing the cam handle, and when the quick lock assembly is in an unlocked state, the quick lock assembly can be slidably disposed on the first connecting arm, the second connecting arm or the bracket through the boss.

[0016] As a further improved technical solution of the present invention, the second positioning mechanism is arranged in a mirror image with the first positioning mechanism.

[0027] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] Please refer Figure 1 to Figure 2 as shown, the present utility model provides a photovoltaic module installation positioning tooling for positioning a photovoltaic module 100 on a bracket, which includes a first positioning mechanism 10 and a second positioning mechanism 20.

[0029] Please refer Figure 2As shown, the first positioning mechanism 10 includes a first arm 11, a second arm 12 and a first mounting arm 13. The lengths of the first arm 11 and the second arm 12 are adjustable. The first arm 11 and the second arm 12 are vertically connected to each other, and the two are used to abut against the adjacent two sides L1 and L2 of the photovoltaic component 100 respectively. The first mounting arm 13 is vertically arranged at the end of the second arm 12, and is used to be fixed to the bracket. The second positioning mechanism 20 includes a third arm 21, a fourth arm 22 and a second mounting arm 23. The lengths of the third arm 21 and the fourth arm 22 are adjustable. The third arm 21 and the fourth arm 22 are used to abut against the adjacent two sides L2 and L3 of the photovoltaic component 100 respectively, and the second mounting arm 23 is used to be fixed to the bracket. The second positioning mechanism 20 is similar in structure to the first positioning mechanism 21, and the two are mirror-imaged and arranged on both sides of the photovoltaic component 100. The following is a detailed description of the structure of the first positioning mechanism 10 only:

[0030] The first arm 11 includes two first sub-arms (111, 112), a first connecting arm 113, and a quick lock assembly 14 for locking the first connecting arm 113 with the two first sub-arms (111, 112). The second arm 12 includes two second sub-arms (121, 122), a second connecting arm 123, and a quick lock assembly 14 for locking the second connecting arm 123 with the two second sub-arms (121, 122). The second sub-arm 121 is vertically connected to the first sub-arm 111, and the second sub-arm 122 is vertically connected to the first mounting arm 13.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the quick lock assembly 14 includes a rod 143, a fixed block 141 fixed to one end of the rod 143, a movable block 142 passing through the rod 143, a spring 145 provided between the fixed block 141 and the movable block 142, and a cam handle 144 hinged to the other end of the rod 143. A boss is provided on one side of the movable block 142 facing the cam handle 144. The first connecting arm 113 is a U-shaped channel steel having a U-shaped groove adapted to the boss. When the quick lock assembly 14 is in the unlocked state, the quick lock assembly 14 is slidably arranged on the first connecting arm 113 through the boss. When the first connecting arm 113 and the first sub-arm 112 need to be locked, the cam handle 144 can be moved. At this time, the movable block 142 abuts against the inside of the first connecting arm 113, the boss passes through the U-shaped notch from the inside of the first connecting arm 113, the cam of the cam handle 144 abuts against the upper surface of the first sub-arm 112, and the spring 145 is in a compressed state. The first mounting arm 13 is fixed to the bracket through the quick lock assembly 14, and the cooperation between the quick lock assembly 14, the bracket and the first mounting arm 13 is similar to the above-mentioned method.

[0032] In addition, the cooperation mode between the quick-lock component and the second connecting arm 23 or the bracket is the same as that between the quick-lock component 14 and the first connecting arm 13 described above, and will not be elaborated here. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first mounting arm 13 is fixed to the bracket through two quick-lock components 14. Similarly, the second mounting arm 23 is fixed to the bracket through two quick-lock components 14. With such a setting, the overall swing of the first positioning mechanism 10 and the second positioning mechanism 20 is prevented.

[0033] During the process of installing the photovoltaic module on the bracket, by using the photovoltaic module installation and positioning tooling of the present utility model, the photovoltaic module can be quickly and accurately positioned, simplifying the installation process and saving manpower. The specific usage steps of the photovoltaic module installation and positioning tooling in this embodiment are as follows:

[0034] 1. First, according to the design value of the installation position of the photovoltaic module and the size of the photovoltaic module, adjust the lengths of the first arm 11 and the second arm 12 of the first positioning mechanism 10, and then fix the first mounting arm 13 to the bracket through the quick-lock component 14; adjust the second positioning mechanism 20 in the same way and install the quick-lock component, the second mounting arm 23 and the bracket in place (but not tightened). The first and second positioning mechanisms are arranged in a mirror image. In addition, make the distance between the second arm 12 and the fourth arm 22 about 1.2 m (slightly larger than the width of the photovoltaic module).

[0035] 2. Place the photovoltaic module on the bracket such that the left long side L1 of the photovoltaic module is closely attached to the inner side of the second arm 12, and the lower short side L2 is closely attached to the inner side of the first arm 11; move the second positioning mechanism 20 such that the long and short sides of the second positioning mechanism 20 are close to the right long side L3 and the lower short side L2 of the photovoltaic module, and lock the second positioning mechanism 20 to support and position the photovoltaic module.

[0036] 3. Use the pressing block to lock the long side L1 of the photovoltaic module to connect the photovoltaic module to the bracket.

[0037] 4. Loosen the second mounting arm of the second positioning mechanism 20 and move the second positioning mechanism 20 to the right such that the second positioning mechanism 20 is about 1.2 m away from the first photovoltaic module. And place two pressing blocks at the long side L2 of the module, and do not tighten the pressing block screws.

[0038] 5. Place the second module on the bracket such that the left long side of the second module is closely attached to the pressing block, and move the second positioning mechanism 20 to support the short side of the module, and lock the second positioning mechanism 20.

[0039] 6. After the second positioning mechanism 20 completes the positioning, lock the pressing block between the two photovoltaic modules. In this way, the installation of the first photovoltaic module and the preliminary positioning of the second photovoltaic module are completed.

[0040] 7. Loosen the second mounting arm of the second positioning mechanism 20 and move the second positioning mechanism 20 to the right so that the second positioning mechanism 20 is about 1.2 m away from the second component, and then repeat the above steps 4 to 6 to complete the positioning and installation of subsequent photovoltaic components in sequence.
