[0046] Next, refer to Figures 1 - 12 to describe the mounting device 20 and the photovoltaic module 200 according to the embodiments of the present invention.
[0047] Refer to Figures 1 - 6 According to the mounting device 20 of the first aspect embodiment of the present invention, it includes: a bracket assembly 100 and a clamp 3.

[0049] Refer to Figures 1 - 5, according to some embodiments of the present utility model, the fixture 3 includes: a first clamping member 31, a second clamping member 32, and a mounting bracket 33, wherein the second clamping member 32 is disposed opposite to the first clamping member 31; the mounting bracket 33 is connected to the second clamping member 32, and the mounting bracket 33 includes two opposite mounting plates 331, and the two mounting plates 331 jointly define a clamping groove 332 for clamping and connecting with the photovoltaic bracket 1.
[0050] The photovoltaic bracket 1 includes a bracket main body 11 and a plurality of first connecting portions 12. The plurality of first connecting portions 12 are disposed on the bracket 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 bracket 1 and includes a support column 23 and a second connecting portion 21 connected to the upper end of the support column 23.

[0051] Specifically, the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32 are disposed opposite to each other in the up-and-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 at least one of the opposite ends of the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32 along the first direction.
[0052] 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 may 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.
[0053] Optionally, referring to Figure 1 , each of the opposite ends of the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32 along the first direction can clamp a photovoltaic panel 10.
[0054] Optionally, referring to Figure 4 , only one of the opposite ends of the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32 along the first direction can be used to clamp the photovoltaic panel 10.
[0055] 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.
[0056] 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.
[0057] Optionally, the two mounting pieces 331 are fitted and connected to each other at the ends connected to the second clamping member 32.
[0058] Optionally, the number of the clamps 3 is multiple, and each clamp 3 is respectively engaged with a first connecting portion 12.
[0059] Optionally, referring to Figure 6 , multiple clamps 3 can jointly clamp the same photovoltaic panel 10.
[0060] 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 enabling the photovoltaic panel 10 to obtain stable support.
[0061] Referring 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, and the first connecting portion 12 of the photovoltaic support 1 is received into the clamping groove 332 through the mounting opening 3322.
[0062] Specifically, the clamping groove 332 is defined between the opposite surfaces of the two mounting pieces 331. 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 and down direction.
[0063] 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 limiting groove 13 through the mounting opening 3322.
[0064] Optionally, the upper end of one mounting piece 331 extends vertically in the up and 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 and down direction until it abuts against the lower surface of the second clamping member 32, and then bends in the first direction toward 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.
[0065] Furthermore, the mounting piece 331 fixedly connected to the second clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 32 are formed into an integral structure.
[0066] In this way, by accommodating the first connecting portion 12 of the photovoltaic support 1 into the engaging groove 332 through the mounting opening 3322, the fixture 3 is engaged with the photovoltaic support 1, so that the fixture 3 and the photovoltaic support 1 can be quickly disassembled.
[0067] 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 the up-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.
[0068] 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 plate-shaped or sheet-shaped and extend in the first direction to improve balance and stability. The mounting piece 331 is a zigzag sheet, the first engaging portion 3311 is close to the upper end of the mounting piece 331, the second engaging portion 3312 is located at the lower end of the mounting piece 331, and the first connecting portion 12 of the photovoltaic support 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.
[0069] The two first engaging portions 3311 are opposite to each other in the first direction and the distance therebetween gradually decreases from bottom to top. The first engaging portion 3311 is inclined towards the other first engaging portion 3311 opposite thereto, 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 therebetween gradually decreases from bottom to top. The second engaging portion 3312 is inclined towards the other second engaging portion 3312 opposite thereto, 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.
[0070] Optionally, reference Figure 2 , the tendency 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 to decrease 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.
[0071] In this way, by arranging the two mounting pieces 331 opposite to each other in the first direction, and the distances between the two first engaging portions 3311 and the two second engaging portions 3312 in the first direction both gradually decrease from bottom to top, the lower ends of the two engaging grooves 332 have a larger opening and the upper ends are tightened, which is conducive to the first connecting portion 12 being inserted into the engaging groove 332 from bottom to top and plays a certain limiting role on the photovoltaic support 1.
[0072] 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.
[0073] Specifically, 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. Therefore, the distance between the two first engaging portions 3311 in 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 in 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 in the first direction at the upper ends of the second engaging portions 3312 to connect from the upper ends of the second engaging portions 3312 to the first engaging portions 3311.
[0074] In this way, by setting the distance between the lower ends of the first engaging portions 3311 in the first direction to be greater than the distance between the upper ends of the second engaging portions 3312 in the first direction, the distance between the two mounting pieces 331 in the first direction shows a trend of first decreasing, then increasing, and then decreasing again from bottom to top, so as to form a constriction 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 conducive to limiting the first connecting portion 12 accommodated in the engaging groove 332, and increasing the connection stability between the mounting frame 33 and the photovoltaic support 1.
[0075] 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.
[0076] Specifically, the mounting piece 331 bends away from another mounting piece 331 that faces it at the transition portion 3313 between the first engaging portion 3311 and the second engaging portion 3312. The upper end of the transition portion 3313 is connected to the lower end of the first engaging portion 3311, and the lower end of the transition portion 3313 is connected to the upper end of the second engaging portion 3312. The transition portion 3313 is formed in an arc shape, and the curvature of the transition portion 3313 can gradually change from top to bottom. For example, the upper end of the transition portion 3313 is tangent to the lower end of the first engaging portion 3311, so that the transition portion 3313 is smoothly connected to the first engaging portion 3311, and the lower end of the transition portion 3313 intersects with the upper end of the second engaging portion 3312.
[0077] In this way, by connecting an arc-shaped transition portion 3313 between the lower end of the first engaging portion 3311 and the upper end of the second engaging portion 3312, during the process of the first connecting portion 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 portion 12 and the engaging groove 332, and it is beneficial for the first connecting portion 12 to be smoothly received into the engaging groove 332; and the arc-shaped transition portion 3313 is beneficial for dispersing stress, and enables the first connecting portion 12 to be stably received in the engaging groove 332, so as to reduce or avoid the first connecting portion 12 from shaking relative to the engaging groove 332 or disengaging from the engaging groove 332.
[0078] 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 portions 3312. Along the first direction, the size of the mounting opening 3322 is smaller than the maximum size of the first connecting portion 12 of the photovoltaic bracket 1.
[0079] Specifically, along the first direction, the size of the mounting opening 3322 is the distance between the upper ends of the second engaging portions 3312 along the first direction, and the maximum size of the first connecting portion 12 is the maximum value of the distance between the two opposite wall surfaces of the first connecting portion 12 in the first direction. The size of the mounting opening 3322 is smaller than the maximum size of the first connecting portion 12 in the first direction. When the first connecting portion 12 is received in the engaging groove 332, it is difficult for the first connecting portion 12 to disengage from the engaging groove 332 from the open mounting opening 3322.
[0080] Optionally, the maximum size of the first connecting portion 12 in the first direction can be the size of the lower end of the first connecting portion 12 in the first direction, that is, the width of the connection between the first connecting portion 12 and the bracket main body 11 in the first direction. The maximum size of the first connecting portion 12 in the first direction can also be the size of the middle portion of the first connecting portion 12.
[0081] Optionally, for ease 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.
[0082] 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.
[0083] 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 bracket 1.
[0084] 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 to clamp the photovoltaic panel 10.
[0085] Specifically, the elastic member 34 can be made of materials such as rubber and 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 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.
[0086] 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 knocking loss caused by rigid contact and lowering the breakage rate of the photovoltaic panel 10 during the installation process.
[0087] 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 mutually 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.
[0088] 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 contacts and the second clamping member 32 (or the first clamping member 31) facing each other.
[0089] In this way, by the clamping portion 342 contacting 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 relatively 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.
[0090] 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 being embedded 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.
[0091] 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. 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.
[0092] In this way, by the second mounting portion 3412 being connected 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.
[0093] 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.
[0094] 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 that are opposite to each other in the up-and-down direction are also the surfaces of the clamping portions 342 that 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.
[0095] Exemplarily, the protrusion 3422 is strip-shaped, and multiple strip-shaped protrusions 3422 are arranged at intervals on the surface of the clamping portion 342 in the first direction.
[0096] 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.
[0097] Reference Figures 1 - 5 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the fixture 3 further includes a fastening assembly 35. 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.
[0098] 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, and rotating screws, 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.
[0099] Optionally, with reference to Figure 1 , the fastening assembly 35 passes through the middle of the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32, and the photovoltaic panel 10 is clamped on both sides of the fastening assembly 35.
[0100] Optionally, with reference to Figure 4 , the fastening assembly 35 passes through one end of the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32 in the first direction, and the other ends of the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32 in the first direction are used to clamp the photovoltaic panel 10.
[0101] 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.
[0102] Reference Figures 1 - 5According to some embodiments of the utility model, at least one mounting plate 331 is detachably connected to the second clamping member 32, and the fastening assembly 35 includes a bolt 351 and a nut 352. The bolt 351 passes through 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.
[0103] 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.
[0104] Optionally, the first clamping member 31 is bent toward the second clamping member 32 at the point where the bolt 351 passes through, so as to form a groove 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.
[0105] The two mounting pieces 331 are distributed on both sides of the head 3511 of the bolt 351 along the first direction. 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.
[0106] 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.
[0107] 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.
[0108] In this way, by passing the bolt 351 through at least one mounting plate 331, the second clamping member 32 and the first clamping member 31 from bottom to top in sequence, and tightening the nut 352 with the bolt 351 on the side of the first clamping member 31 away from the second clamping member 32, the various parts of the clamp 3 can be simply and quickly assembled together, thereby making the clamp 3 easy to disassemble, reducing time and manpower consumption, and improving installation efficiency.
[0109] refer to Figures 2 - 4 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the head 3511 of the bolt 351 has an end face that is approximately rectangular, and the two adjacent sides of the end face of the head 3511 are respectively a long side 351a and a narrow side 351b, and 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.
[0110] Specifically, the end face of the head 3511 of the bolt 351 is approximately rectangular, the long side 351a and the narrow side 351b may have a smaller curvature, the length of the long side 351a is greater than the length of the narrow side 351b, wherein the length of the long side 351a refers to the maximum distance between two relative narrow sides 351b, and the length of the narrow side 351b refers to the maximum distance between two relative long sides 351a.
[0111] In a specific embodiment, reference Figure 4 The long side 351a is a straight side, the narrow side 351b is an arc side, 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 surface of the long side 351a of the head 3511 on both sides of the head 3511 along the first direction, and 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.
[0112] In this way, by utilizing the end face characteristics of the T-bolt 351, two mounting pieces 331 are arranged opposite to each other along the extension direction of the narrow side 351b, and the spacing distance at the head 3511 of the bolt 351 is smaller than the length of the long side 351a, so that the mounting pieces 331 on both sides limit the head 3511 of the bolt 351, thereby effectively preventing the bolt 351 from rotating, thereby ensuring the installation efficiency and tightening effect.
[0113] refer to Figures 6 - 10, the support assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present utility model is used to support the photovoltaic panel 10. The support assembly 100 includes: a photovoltaic support 1 and a support member 2. 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 arranged on the support main body 11 and spaced apart along a first direction (shown in the direction of e1 in the reference figure). The support member 2 is arranged below the photovoltaic support 1. The support member 2 provides a supporting effect on the photovoltaic support 1 in the up-and-down direction (shown in the direction of e2 in the reference figure). And the support member 2 includes a support column 23 and a second connection part 21 connected to the upper end of the support column 23.
[0114] Wherein, 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 that is received in the limiting groove 13. The first direction intersects with the up-and-down direction. By receiving the limiting boss 22 in the limiting groove 13, the photovoltaic support 1 and the support member 2 can be connected. The limiting groove 13 forms a limiting effect on the limiting boss 22 to prevent the photovoltaic support 1 and the support member 2 from detaching so that the photovoltaic support 1 can be stably supported above the support member 2.
[0115] Optionally, the number of the first connection parts 12 can be two or more. Optionally, the number of the support members 2 can be multiple.
[0116] Optionally, 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 that is received in the limiting groove 13, which can include the following several situations: For example, the first connection part 12 forms a limiting groove 13 and the second connection part 21 forms a limiting boss 22 that is received in the limiting groove 13; Another example is that the second connection part 21 forms a limiting groove 13 and the first connection part 12 forms a limiting boss 22 that is received in the limiting groove 13.
[0117] Optionally, the support member 2 can be supported on the ground, wall surface or roof, etc. The support member 2 is used to provide a supporting effect on the photovoltaic support 1 and enable the photovoltaic support 1 to be stably installed on the ground, wall surface or roof, etc. through the support member 2.
[0118] Reference Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the first connection part 12 and the second connection part 21 are received in the engaging groove 332.
[0119] According to the support assembly 100 of the embodiments of the present utility model, by providing a plurality of first connection portions 12 on the photovoltaic support 1, and a second connection portion 21 on the support member 2, and making one of the first connection portion 12 and the second connection portion 21 form a limiting groove 13 and the other form a limiting boss 22 accommodated in the limiting groove 13, in this way, during the installation process of the support assembly 100, the photovoltaic support 1 and the support member 2 can be connected by accommodating the limiting boss 22 in the limiting groove 13. The limiting groove 13 forms a limiting effect on the limiting boss 22 to prevent the photovoltaic support 1 and the support member 2 from detaching, so that the photovoltaic support 1 can be stably supported above the support member 2. Thus, additional connecting members (such as bolts) provided between the photovoltaic support 1 and the support member 2 can be omitted, which is beneficial to simplifying the installation process and further beneficial to improving the installation efficiency of the support assembly 100.

By making the first connection portion 12 form a limiting groove 13 and the second connection portion 21 form a limiting boss 22, the connection between the first connection portion 12 and the second connection portion 21 can be realized by accommodating the limiting boss 22 in the limiting groove 13, and then the photovoltaic support 1 and the support member 2 are connected; by making the limiting groove 13 have an open mouth 131 facing downward, it is convenient for the limiting boss 22 located below the photovoltaic support 1 to be accommodated in the limiting groove 13 through the open mouth 131.
[0121] For example, during the installation process of the support assembly 100, first, the support member 2 is fixed to the building, and then the photovoltaic support 1 is placed above the support member 2 and a downward force is applied to the photovoltaic support 1 so that the limiting boss 22 of the support member 2 is accommodated in the limiting groove 13 through the open mouth 131 of the photovoltaic support 1.
[0122] Reference Figures 9 - 10 , according to some alternative embodiments of the present utility model, the limiting boss 22 includes two guiding walls 221 oppositely arranged along a first direction, and in the direction from bottom to top, the distance between the two guiding walls 221 along the first direction gradually decreases. By making the limiting boss 22 include two guiding walls 221 oppositely arranged along a first direction, during the installation process of the photovoltaic support 1, the guiding walls 221 are used to guide the limiting boss 22 to be accommodated in the limiting groove 13, so that the limiting boss 22 is easily accommodated in the limiting groove 13; by making the distance between the two guiding walls 221 along the first direction gradually decrease in the direction from bottom to top, it is convenient for the limiting boss 22 to be relatively accurately positioned relative to the open mouth 131, and it is beneficial to improve the connection stability and reliability between the limiting boss 22 and the limiting groove 13.

The first supporting wall 222 is connected to the upper ends of the two guiding walls 221, and the second supporting wall 223 is connected to the lower ends of the two guiding walls 221. Optionally, the first supporting wall 222 contacts the top of the limiting groove 13, and the second supporting wall 223 contacts the bottom of the limiting groove 13. In this way, it is possible to prevent the limiting boss 22 from randomly shaking in the limiting groove 13 in the up-down direction, which is beneficial to the stable connection between the first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 21, and thus beneficial to the stable connection between the photovoltaic bracket 1 and the support member 2. By making the limiting boss 22 include the first supporting wall 222 and the second supporting wall 223 which are oppositely arranged in the up-down direction, and the first supporting wall 222 and the second supporting wall 223 are received in the limiting groove 13 and provide a supporting effect on the first connecting portion 12 in the up-down direction, it is beneficial for the support member 2 to stably support the photovoltaic bracket 1, and thus beneficial for the bracket assembly 100 to stably support the photovoltaic panel 10.
[0125] Reference Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the upper end of the second engaging portion 3312 abuts against the first connecting portion 12 located outside the second supporting wall 223.

By connecting a transition wall 224 formed into an arc shape between the lower end of the guiding wall 221 and the second supporting wall 223, during the process of the limiting boss 22 being received into the limiting groove 13 through the open mouth 131, it is beneficial to reduce the friction and resistance between the limiting boss 22 and the limiting groove 13, and beneficial for the limiting boss 22 to be smoothly received into the limiting groove 13; and the transition wall 224 formed into an arc shape is beneficial to disperse stress, and enables the limiting boss 22 to be stably received in the limiting groove 13, so as to reduce or avoid the limiting boss 22 from shaking relative to the limiting groove 13 or disengaging from the limiting groove 13.
[0127] Reference Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the transition portion 3313 is engaged with the transition wall 224.
[0128] Reference Figures 6 - 8, according to some alternative embodiments of the present utility model, the projection of the open mouth 131 on the reference plane is the first projection, and the projection of the limiting boss 22 on the reference plane is the second projection. The first projection is within the range of the second projection, and the reference plane is a horizontal plane perpendicular to the up-down direction. By making the first projection within the range of the second projection, it is beneficial to reduce or avoid the limiting boss 22 disengaging from the open mouth 131 along the up-down direction, enabling the limiting groove 13 to effectively limit the limiting boss 22, thereby facilitating the stable connection between the first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 21 and preventing the photovoltaic bracket 1 from detaching from the support member 2.
[0129] Reference Figures 6 - 8 , according to some alternative embodiments of the present utility model, the limiting boss 22 includes a first support wall 222 and a second support wall 223 that are oppositely arranged along the up-down direction. The first support wall 222 is located above the second support wall 223 and the second support wall 223 faces the open mouth 131. The projection of the first support wall 222 on the reference plane is the third projection, and the projection of the second support wall 223 on the reference plane is the fourth projection. The third projection is within the range of the first projection, and the first projection is within the range of the fourth projection. By making the third projection within the range of the first projection, during the process of the limiting boss 22 being received into the limiting groove 13 from bottom to top through the open mouth 131, it is convenient for the first support wall 222 to be accurately positioned relative to the open mouth 131 and makes it easy for the first support wall 222 to pass through the open mouth 131, thus making it easier and more accurate for the limiting boss 22 to be received into the limiting groove 13. By making the first projection within the range of the fourth projection, after the limiting boss 22 is received in the limiting groove 13, the second support wall 223 is not easily disengaged from the open mouth 131, so that the limiting boss 22 is not easily disengaged from the open mouth 131, which is beneficial to the limiting boss 22 being stably received in the limiting groove 13 and further beneficial to the stable connection between the first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 21.
[0130] Reference Figures 6 - 8 , according to some alternative embodiments of the present utility model, in the first direction, the size of the open mouth 131 is smaller than the maximum size of the limiting boss 22, and the photovoltaic bracket 1 is elastically deformable in the first direction so that the size of the open mouth 131 in the first direction is variable. By making the size of the open mouth 131 in the first direction smaller than the maximum size of the limiting boss 22, it is beneficial to reduce or avoid the limiting boss 22 disengaging from the open mouth 131 along the up-down direction, enabling the limiting groove 13 to effectively limit the limiting boss 22, thereby facilitating the stable connection between the first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 21 and preventing the photovoltaic bracket 1 from detaching from the support member 2.
[0131] In this application, the maximum size of the limiting boss 22 is defined as the maximum value of the distance between the outer wall surfaces on the opposite sides of the limiting boss 22 in the first direction along the first direction.
[0132] For example, during the installation of the bracket assembly 100, when the limiting boss 22 passes through the open mouth 131, the limiting boss 22 exerts a force on the photovoltaic bracket 1 in the first direction, causing the photovoltaic bracket 1 to elastically deform in the first direction, so that the size of the open mouth 131 becomes larger in the first direction to accommodate the size of the limiting boss 22; when the limiting boss 22 is completely accommodated in the limiting groove 13, the deformation of the photovoltaic bracket 1 returns, and the open mouth 131 returns to its original size, and the limiting groove 13 realizes the locking and limiting of the limiting boss 22, and the limiting boss 22 can be stably accommodated in the limiting groove 13.
[0133] By making the photovoltaic bracket 1 elastically deformable in the first direction, the photovoltaic bracket 1 can change the size of the open mouth 131 in the first direction by elastic deformation, so that the photovoltaic bracket 1 will not interfere with the limiting boss 22. In this way, during the installation of the bracket assembly 100, the installer can more easily accommodate the limiting boss 22 into the limiting groove 13 without using additional tools or complex operations, improving the installation efficiency.
[0134] Optionally, the maximum size of the limiting boss 22 can be the size of the lower end of the limiting boss 22, and the maximum size of the limiting boss 22 can be the size of the middle part of the limiting boss 22.
[0135] Reference Figure 5 , in some embodiments, in the first direction, the size of the open mouth 131 is smaller than the maximum size of the limiting boss 22, and the size of the installation opening 3322 is smaller than the maximum size of the first connecting portion 12 and slightly larger than or equal to the size of the open mouth 131.
[0136] Specifically, the installation opening 3322 is formed between the upper ends of the two second engaging portions 3312. The first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 21 are accommodated in the engaging groove. The upper end of the second engaging portion 3312 abuts against the open mouth 131 below the second support wall 223, and the size of the installation opening 3322 is slightly larger than the size of the open mouth 131. When the first connecting portion 12 at the open mouth 131 is extremely thin and fits against the upper end of the second engaging portion, the size of the installation opening 3322 is equal to the size of the open mouth 131.
[0137] It should be noted that in the first direction, the maximum width of the engaging groove 332 is slightly larger than or equal to the maximum size of the first connecting portion 12 and larger than the maximum size of the limiting boss 22, so that the engaging groove 332 can completely accommodate the first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 21 that engages with the first connecting portion 12.
[0138] Reference Figures 6 - 8, according to some alternative embodiments of the present utility model, the limiting boss 22 includes a first support wall 222 and a second support wall 223 that are oppositely arranged in the up-down direction. The first support wall 222 is located above the second support wall 223 and the second support wall 223 faces the open mouth 131. In a first direction, the size of the first support wall 222 is smaller than the size of the open mouth 131, and the size of the open mouth 131 is smaller than the size of the second support wall 223.
[0139] By making the size of the first support wall 222 smaller than the size of the open mouth 131 in the first direction, during the process of the limiting boss 22 being received into the limiting groove 13 from bottom to top through the open mouth 131, it is convenient for the first support wall 222 to be accurately positioned relative to the open mouth 131 and makes it easy for the first support wall 222 to pass through the open mouth 131, so that the limiting boss 22 can be more easily and accurately received into the limiting groove 13; by making the size of the open mouth 131 smaller than the size of the second support wall 223 in the first direction, after the limiting boss 22 is received into the limiting groove 13, the second support wall 223 is not easily disengaged from the open mouth 131, so that the limiting boss 22 is not easily disengaged from the open mouth 131, which is beneficial to the limiting boss 22 being stably received in the limiting groove 13, and further beneficial to the stable connection between the first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 21.

[0141] By making the support member 2 include a first support member 25 and a second support member 26, and making the height of the second support member 26 higher than that of the first support member 25, the support member 2 can provide different support heights at different positions of the photovoltaic panel 10, so that the support assembly 100 can provide different support methods at different positions of the photovoltaic panel 10, which is beneficial to improving the cooperation flexibility between the support assembly 100 and the photovoltaic panel 10; by providing the fixture 3, it is beneficial for the photovoltaic panel 10 to be stably supported above the support member 2. By arranging the first support member 25 and the second support member 26 in a cross-interval arrangement along the first direction, it is beneficial for the first support member 25 and the second support member 26 to provide a stable support effect on the photovoltaic support 1 in the up and down direction, thereby being beneficial to improving the load-bearing capacity of the support assembly 100. For example, when the support assembly 100 is installed on the roof of a building, the support assembly 100 can stably carry installers.
