Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of solar canopies, and particularly relates to a drainage structure applied to a solar canopy. Background Art

[0002] Traditional drainage canopies are mainly auxiliary equipment installed in residential communities to provide power supply and charging for community residents. To make full use of the renewable energy of solar energy, solar canopies have emerged to replace traditional canopies. When using a solar canopy, it is necessary to fully consider its waterproof and drainage capabilities to avoid water leakage at the top and damage to the circuit.

[0003] Existing solar canopies have the following defects: The installation of solar panels is not compatible with drainage pipes. To reduce the volume of rainwater contacting the solar panels, multiple solar panels are closely connected, which increases the installation cost, and special attention needs to be paid to the gaps between adjacent solar panels during the installation process, affecting the construction efficiency of the solar panels. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a drainage structure applied to a solar canopy, and the technical solution adopted is as follows:

[0005] A drainage structure applied to a solar canopy includes a bottom frame for support at the bottom. Above the bottom frame, a support frame is installed. The upper surface of the support frame is provided with a plurality of embedding grooves for embedding an installation frame. The installation frame includes a plurality of vertical columns, a water collecting plate, and a rear cross plate. Each vertical column is correspondingly installed in the embedding groove opened above the support frame. The water collecting plate is located at one end of the installation frame, and the rear cross plate is located at the other end of the installation frame.

[0006] Above the installation frame, a solar panel is installed through a clamping frame. On the upper surface of the vertical column in the installation frame and between two clamping frames, a stud is provided. A pressure strip is installed between two adjacent clamping frames, and a nut threadedly connected to the stud is provided above the pressure strip.

[0007] Further, a diversion port for communicating with the water flow groove in the support frame is opened on the side surface of the installation frame in contact with the support frame. Through the opened diversion port, the water flow groove in the installation frame is connected to the water flow groove in the support frame, so that the water flow in the support frame can flow into the installation frame and flow out together.

[0008] Further, convex strips for hanging on the installation frame or above the support frame are provided around the lower surface of the clamping frame.

[0009] Further, the cross-sections of the support frame and the installation frame both adopt a "U" - shaped structure, and a groove for placing the convex strips around the clamping frame is provided in the middle.

[0010] Furthermore, to enable the convex strips below the engaging frame to be inserted, the widths of the grooves in the vertical columns of the installation frame and the grooves above the support frame are both greater than the sum of the widths of the two convex strips.

[0011] Furthermore, to enable the confluent water flow to flow, the width of the groove in the water collecting plate is greater than the width of one convex strip.

[0012] Furthermore, the width of the groove in the rear cross plate is equal to the width of one convex strip, as it does not need to insert two convex strips and does not need to play the role of collecting water flow.

[0013] Furthermore, to prevent the confluent water flow from directly flushing down from the front, a protruding triangular baffle is provided on one side inside the water collecting plate.

[0014] Furthermore, both ends of the water collecting plate are open, and a water guiding chain is respectively provided at the openings at both ends. The water guiding chain can play a role in guiding the flow, enabling the water flow to fall to the ground along the water guiding chain and avoiding water flow impact.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. In the utility model, a diversion port for connecting the water flow grooves in the support frame is provided on the side surface of the installation frame in contact with the support frame, so that the water flow grooves in the installation frame are connected to the water flow grooves in the support frame, enabling the water flow in the support frame to flow into the installation frame and finally into the water collecting plate. Both ends of the water collecting plate are open, and a water guiding chain is respectively provided at the openings at both ends, which can play a role in guiding the flow, enabling the water flow to fall to the ground along the water guiding chain and avoiding water flow impact. Further, a protruding triangular baffle is provided on one side inside the water collecting plate to prevent the confluent water flow from directly flushing down from the front.

[0017] 2. By expanding the widths of the grooves above the support frame and the installation frame, the utility model can reserve a gap for rainwater to flow while ensuring that the engaging frame can be clamped and placed.

[0018] 3. By providing grooves for clamping and placing the engaging frame above the support frame and the installation frame, the utility model simplifies the installation steps of the solar panel. Finally, by installing a pressure strip above the solar panel, the installation firmness of the solar panel can be ensured, and there is no need to pay special attention to the gap between adjacent solar panels. As long as the gap is not greater than the width of the pressure strip, the normal use can be ensured after installation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0032] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present utility model, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] As shown in the attached Figure 1-11 figure.

[0034] A drainage structure applied to a solar carport, including a chassis 1 as a support at the bottom. Above the chassis 1, a support frame 2 is installed. On the upper surface of the support frame 2, a plurality of embedding grooves 21 for embedding an installation frame 3 are provided. After embedding, the installation frame 3 is fixed above the support frame 2 by welding. A diversion port 32 for connecting the water flow channel in the support frame 2 is provided on the side of the installation frame 3 in contact with the support frame 2. Through the provided diversion port 32, the water flow channel in the installation frame 3 is connected to the water flow channel in the support frame 2, so that the water flow in the support frame 2 flows into the installation frame 3 and flows out together.

[0035] The installation frame 3 is composed of a plurality of vertical columns, water collecting plates 33 located in front of and behind the vertical columns, and a rear cross plate 34. Each vertical column is correspondingly installed in the embedding groove 21 provided above the support frame 2. When the installation frame 3 is installed, it is in a state where one end is high and the other end is low. Among them, the water collecting plate 33 is located at the lower end of the installation frame 3, and the rear cross plate 34 is located at the higher end of the installation frame 3.

[0036] Above the installation frame 3, a solar panel 4 is installed through a clamping frame 41. Convex strips for hanging on the upper part of the installation frame 3 or the support frame 2 are provided around the lower surface of the clamping frame 41.

[0037] The cross-sections of both the support frame 2 and the installation frame 3 adopt a "U" - shaped structure, which can provide space for the clamping frame 41 to be buckled.

[0038] On the upper surface of the vertical column in the installation frame 3 and between two clamping frames 41, there are stud bolts 31. After the clamping frame 41 is installed above the installation frame 3, a pressure strip 5 is installed between two adjacent clamping frames 41. After the pressure strip 5 is installed, it is connected to the stud bolt 31 through a nut, so as to fix the pressure strip 5 and enable it to press the clamping frame 41 to prevent it from falling off.

[0039] To ensure that there is still a gap for water flow after the convex strip under the clamping frame 41 is inserted, the width of the groove in the vertical column of the installation frame 3 is greater than the width of two convex strips. To enable the converged water flow to flow, the width of the groove in the water collecting plate 33 is greater than the width of one convex strip; while the width of the groove in the rear cross plate 34 is equal to the width of one convex strip, because it does not need to be inserted into two convex strips and does not need to undertake the role of collecting water flow.

[0040] Similarly, the width of the groove above the support frame 2 is also greater than the width of two convex strips.

[0041] To prevent the converged water flow from directly flushing down from the front, a protruding triangular blocking strip is provided on one side inside the water collecting plate 33.

[0042] Installation process: First, fix the chassis 1 to the ground, and then install the support frame 2 above the chassis 1. The angle of the support frame 2 can be adjusted so that the installed installation frame 3 is in a state of being higher on one side and lower on the other side, facilitating the more smooth drainage of the rainwater collected on rainy days while receiving sunlight.

[0043] After the angle of the support frame 2 is adjusted, the installation of the installation frame 3 will be carried out. During the installation process, it should be noted that the vertical columns in the installation frame 3 should be stuck in the installation grooves 21 opened in the support frame 2 and fixed by welding. Finally, also by welding, the water collecting plate 33 and the rear cross plate 34 are installed at the front and rear ends of the vertical columns. After the installation is completed, the "U"-shaped confluence grooves provided in the vertical columns, the support frame 2, the water collecting plate 33 and the rear cross plate 34 will all be connected.

[0044] Then, place the clamping frame 41 fixed with the solar panel 4 on the upper part of the installation frame 3. Note that the convex strips below the clamping frame 41 are all embedded in the "U"-shaped confluence grooves provided in the vertical columns, the support frame 2, the water collecting plate 33 and the rear cross plate 34. Finally, press two adjacent clamping frames 41 with the pressing strip 5 in turn to ensure that the solar panel 4 will not fall off, thus completing the installation. The structure here is as shown in Figure 7 、 8 、Figure 9.

[0045] During use, on rainy days, the water flowing above the solar panel 4 will flow into the "U"-shaped confluence groove and finally all flow into the water collecting plate 33. The two ends of the water collecting plate 33 are open, and a water guiding chain 6 is respectively provided at the openings at both ends. The water guiding chain 6 can play a role in guiding the flow, so that the water flows along the water guiding chain 6 to the ground, avoiding the impact of the water flow.

[0046] Using the technical solution of the present utility model, or those skilled in the art, inspired by the technical solution of the present utility model, designing a similar technical solution to achieve the above technical effects all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
