However, the existing module BIPV connection structure is prone to failure and damage under external force impact, which will not only cause economic losses but also pose safety problems. Summary of the Utility Model
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a safe and reliable energy-consuming connection structure for a photovoltaic shed.
[0004] To solve the above technical problem, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: an energy-consuming connection structure of a photovoltaic shed, including a photovoltaic shed rigid frame unit and a purlin assembly connecting two adjacent photovoltaic shed rigid frame units, further including a damping connector. The purlin assembly and the damping connector are arranged up and down, and the damping connector is provided with a flexible connection part for connecting two adjacent photovoltaic shed rigid frame units.
[0005] Further, each photovoltaic shed rigid frame unit is connected to at least two flexible connection parts on the damping connector.
[0006] Further, the flexible connection part is a strip-shaped hole or an arc-shaped hole, and the photovoltaic shed rigid frame unit is slidably connected to the strip-shaped hole or the arc-shaped hole.
[0007] Further, the photovoltaic shed rigid frame unit includes a water trough beam, and the water trough beam includes a horizontal plate and a vertical plate connected perpendicularly. The horizontal plate is connected to the purlin assembly, and the vertical plate is connected to the damping connector.
[0008] Further, the purlin assembly includes a purlin support and a water trough purlin, and the water trough purlin is connected to the water trough beam through the purlin support.
[0009] Further, the photovoltaic shed rigid frame unit further includes a downspout, and the downspout is installed between the vertical plates of two adjacent photovoltaic shed rigid frame units and is located below the damping connector.
[0010] Further, the horizontal plate is connected to the purlin assembly through fasteners, and the vertical plate is connected to the damping connector through fasteners.
[0011] Further, the damping connecting member is a cross bracing plate, and the cross bracing plate is parallel to the vertical plate.

[0024] In an alternative embodiment, each photovoltaic shed rigid frame unit 1 is connected to at least two flexible connection parts 31 on the damping connector 3.
[0025] As can be seen from the above description, the number of the flexible connection parts 31 connecting each photovoltaic shed rigid frame unit 1 is greater than or equal to two, enhancing the constraint of the energy-consuming structure and ensuring the structural reliability.
[0026] In an alternative embodiment, the flexible connection part 31 is a strip-shaped hole or an arc-shaped hole, and the photovoltaic shed rigid frame unit 1 is slidably connected to the strip-shaped hole or the arc-shaped hole.
