[0037] like Figures 1-9As shown, according to an embodiment of the present application, the connection component 100 for a photovoltaic flexible bracket includes: a first connector 10 and a second connector 20. The first connector 10 can be provided with a mounting groove 12, and the mounting groove 12 can be used to install a cable 200, that is, the mounting groove 12 can match the cable 200, so that the first connector 10 can be pre-placed on the cable 200, which is conducive to the pre-installation of the first connector 10. The second connector 20 can be provided on the first connector 10, which is conducive to the pre-installation of the second connector 20, thereby shortening the installation time and facilitating operation.

[0038] The first connector 10 may have a limiting groove 13, and the second connector 20 may have a limiting block 22. The limiting groove 13 is in the extension direction of the cable 200 (eg Figure 9 At least one end in the front-to-back direction (as shown) is open, that is, the limiting groove 13 may have at least one open end (as shown Figure 7 The left or right end as shown), and the limit block 22 can be inserted into the limit slot 13 from the open end of the limit slot 13, so that the limit block 22 and the limit slot 13 are plugged into each other, which can realize the pre-installation of the first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member 20, and can prevent the first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member 20 from being separated from each other during the pre-installation process; or, the first connecting member 10 can have a limit block 22, the second connecting member 20 can have a limit slot 13, and the limit block 22 can be plugged into the limit slot 13.

[0039] At the same time, the second connecting member 20 can cover the installation groove 12 during the pre-installation process, and the first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member 20 can be plugged in and matched with the limiting block 22 and the limiting groove 13 to achieve mutual limitation of the first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member 20, so that the cable 200 can be limited in the installation groove 12 to prevent the connecting component 100 from being separated from the cable 200 during the pre-installation process. Therefore, based on the installation of the connecting component 100, the installation steps of the connecting component 100 can be simplified, and the installation time of the connecting component 100 can be shortened, which is beneficial to saving costs and facilitating operation.

[0040] According to the connection component 100 for the photovoltaic flexible bracket 1000 of the embodiment of the present application, by providing a first connection member 10 with a mounting groove 12, and by providing a second connection member 20 that can cover the mounting groove 12, the first connection member 10 can be pre-placed on the cable 200 through the mounting groove 12, and the second connection member 20 can be plugged into the first connection member 10 and cover the mounting groove 12 to limit the cable 200 to the mounting groove 12, thereby realizing the pre-installation of the connection component 100, simplifying the installation steps of the connection component 100, shortening the installation time of the connection component 100, and facilitating operation; and compared with the technical solution of using fasteners to install the connection component 100 on the cable 200, the large-scale use of fasteners can be reduced, saving costs.

[0041] like Figure 5 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, the first connecting member 10 may have a first support plate 11, and the second connecting member 20 may have a second support plate 21. The second support plate 21 can support the photovoltaic component 300, which can improve the stability of the photovoltaic component 300 and is conducive to installing the photovoltaic component 300 on the connecting component 100. The first support plate 11 and the second support plate 21 can correspond to each other in position, that is, the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 21 can support each other to improve the structural strength of the connecting component 100, thereby improving the supporting effect on the photovoltaic component 300.

[0042] Among them, the first support plate 11 can have at least one fastening hole 101, the second support plate 21 can have at least one fastening hole 101, and the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 21 can correspond in position, so that the fastening hole 101 of the first support plate 11 can correspond in position to the fastening hole 101 of the second support plate 21, so that the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 21 can be connected by fasteners, the connection between the first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member 20 can be realized, and the photovoltaic component 300 can be connected to the connecting component 100 by the fasteners, so that the installation of the photovoltaic component 300 can be realized; specifically, the fasteners can be sequentially passed through the fastening holes 101 of the first support plate 11, the fastening holes 101 of the second support plate 21 and the photovoltaic component 300, so that the photovoltaic component 300 can be installed on the cable 200 through the connecting component 100, and it is easy to operate.

[0043] like Figure 5 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 21 can be located on one side of the mounting groove 12 (eg, Figure 5 The limiting groove 13 and the limiting block 22 can be located on the other side of the mounting groove 12 (as shown in FIG. Figure 5As shown on the left side, on the basis of ensuring the connection effect between the first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member 20, the space occupied in the installation groove 12 can be reduced, thereby on the basis of improving the installation effect of the connecting component 100, the space utilization rate of the connecting component 100 can be improved.

[0044] like Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, the limiting groove 13 can be provided on the first connecting member 10, and the side of the limiting groove 13 away from the mounting groove 12 (such as Figure 7 The left side shown in FIG1 is the open side, the limit block 22 can be provided on the second connecting member 20, and at least a portion of the second connecting member 20 is located on the open side of the limit groove 13 (as shown in FIG1 ). Figure 7 As shown on the left side, by setting the limit block 22 in this part, it is beneficial for the limit block 22 to be plugged into and matched with the limit groove 13, which is convenient for operation.

[0045] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the limit block 22 can form a cylindrical section 221, and the limit groove 13 can match the shape of the limit block 22, so that the bottom of the limit groove 13 is larger than the groove opening to form a shrinkage groove structure, which can prevent the limit block 22 and the limit groove 13 from detaching from each other, and can improve the stability of the mutual limitation between the first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member 20, thereby improving the connection effect between the first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member 20.

[0046] It should be noted that the limit block 22 may include a cylindrical section 221 and a straight section 222. The cylindrical section 221 can be connected to the second connecting member 20 through the straight section 222, so that the straight section 222 can slide and cooperate with the notch of the limit groove 13 when the cylindrical section 221 is plugged into the limit groove 13, thereby guiding the sliding of the limit block 22, improving the smoothness of the sliding of the limit block 22, facilitating operation, and improving the structural strength of the connection between the limit block 22 and the second connecting member 20, thereby improving the service life of the connecting assembly 100.

[0047] like Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, the second connecting member 20 may have a mating surface 231, and the mating surface 231 may cover the installation groove 12 when the limit block 22 slides with the limit groove 13, and the mating surface 231 may cooperate with the inner wall surface of the installation groove 12 to enclose a mounting hole 102, and the cable 200 may be limited in the mounting hole 102, so that the installation of the connection component 100 can be realized, and the connection component 100 can be prevented from being detached from the cable 200, thereby facilitating the installation of the photovoltaic component 300 on the connection component 100 and facilitating operation.

[0048] like Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the diameter of the mounting hole 102 can be smaller than the outer diameter of the cable 200, so that an interference fit can be achieved between the cable 200 and the mounting hole 102, thereby improving the limiting effect of the cable 200, preventing the connection component 100 from being separated from the cable 200, and preventing the connection component 100 from being moved along the extension direction of the cable 200 (such as Figure 9 The front and rear directions shown in the figure) can be moved, thereby improving the installation effect of the connection component 100 and improving the stability of the connection component 100, which is conducive to installing the photovoltaic component 300 on the cable 200 through the connection component 100 and is easy to operate.

[0049] like Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, a portion of the second connecting member 20 can be moved toward the direction close to the mounting groove 12 (eg, Figure 6 The mating portion 23 is arched to form the mating portion 23. The mating surface 231 can be provided on one side of the mating portion 23 close to the mounting groove 12 (as shown in FIG. Figure 8 The lower side) surface shown in the figure, and the mating portion 23 can extend into the installation groove 12 when the limit block 22 slides with the limit groove 13, which can ensure that the mating surface 231 is in contact with the cable 200, preventing the connection component 100 from being separated from the cable 200, thereby improving the stability of the connection component 100, facilitating the installation of the photovoltaic component 300 on the cable 200 through the connection component 100, and facilitating operation.

[0050] like Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, at least a portion of the inner wall surface of the mounting groove 12 can be an arc surface, which can make the inner wall surface of the mounting groove 12 match the cable 200. On the one hand, the contact area between the mounting groove 12 and the cable 200 can be increased, and the limiting effect of the cable 200 can be improved to prevent the connection component 100 from being separated from the cable 200, and to prevent the connection component 100 from being moved along the extension direction of the cable 200 (such as Figure 9 On the other hand, the cable 200 can be prevented from breaking due to the clamping of the mounting hole 102, and the service life of the cable 200 can be improved on the basis of ensuring the installation effect of the connection component 100.

[0051] like Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, in some embodiments, the mating surface 231 can be an arc surface, and the center of the mating surface 231 coincides with the center of the arc surface of the mounting groove 12, that is, the mounting hole 102 can be a circular hole, so that the inner wall surface of the mounting hole 102 can match the cable 200. On the one hand, the contact area between the mounting hole 102 and the cable 200 can be increased, and the limiting effect of the cable 200 can be improved to prevent the connection component 100 from being separated from the cable 200, and to prevent the connection component 100 from being moved along the extension direction of the cable 200 (such as Figure 9 On the other hand, the cable 200 can be prevented from breaking due to the clamping of the mounting hole 102, and the service life of the cable 200 can be improved on the basis of ensuring the installation effect of the connection component 100.

[0054] It can be understood that the cable 200 can be a steel wire rope, which can improve the strength and toughness of the cable 200, which is beneficial for the photovoltaic flexible bracket 1000 to carry a photovoltaic component 300 of larger mass, and can improve the corrosion resistance of the cable 200, which is beneficial for extending the service life of the photovoltaic flexible bracket 1000. At the same time, it has low cost, which is beneficial for reducing the cost of the photovoltaic flexible bracket 1000.
