Description

Technical field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of photovoltaics, and in particular relates to a water tank installation technology for a photovoltaic power station. [Background Technology]

[0002] There are two common installation methods for existing M-shaped gutters. One method involves bolting the M-shaped gutters to the component frame with angle steel, securing the gutters to the component. The other method involves bolting the M-shaped gutters to a clamp, which compresses the component frame to secure the gutters to the component. However, these installation methods are only suitable for brackets with sufficient clearance below the component, such as those used in sunrooms. However, the bolt placement and installation method are not suitable for applications with little or no clearance below, such as on sloping roofs. Once the component is secured to the angle steel or clamp, construction workers have no room to secure it to the gutters. [Utility Model Content]

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a photovoltaic power station and its water tank installation structure, which solves the problem in the existing technology that after the water tank and the mounting beam are fixed, the construction workers have no operating space to fix the components to the water tank.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] First, a photovoltaic power station water tank installation structure is provided, which includes a mounting beam, a water tank that perpendicularly intersects the mounting beam and is fixed on the mounting beam, and a photovoltaic module installed above the water tank. The water tank installation structure also includes an intermediate component, which is connected to the water tank through fasteners, and the intermediate component is fixed to the frame of the photovoltaic module through a lock.

[0006] Preferably, the lock buckle includes a lock slot and a lock head, the lock slot is provided at one of the intermediate member and the frame, and the lock head is provided at the other one of the intermediate member and the frame.

[0007] Preferably, the mouth of the lock slot is provided with an elastic contraction structure, and the lock head is provided with a locking portion that squeezes the elastic contraction structure and is inserted into the lock slot. After the locking portion is inserted into the lock slot, the elastic contraction structure opens and locks with the locking portion; and / or, the lock slot is provided on the bottom surface of the frame and is integrally formed with the frame.

[0008] Preferably, the elastic contraction structure includes spring plates arranged on opposite sides of the locking slot, and the spring plates extend obliquely from the side walls of the locking slot toward the middle.

[0009] Preferably, barbs are provided on opposite sides of the locking portion, and after the locking portion is inserted into the locking groove, the barbs are locked with the spring pieces.

[0010] Preferably, a bite structure for achieving bite is provided between the spring piece and the barb.

[0011] Preferably, the water tank is M-shaped, and the intermediate component is U-shaped and is inverted on the water tank.

[0012] Preferably, the fasteners are bolts, and the two side walls of the water tank are connected to the two side walls of the intermediate component via bolts.

[0013] Preferably, pressure edges are provided on both sides of the bottom of the water trough, and the pressure edges are connected to a pressure plate assembly that fixes the water trough to the mounting beam.

[0014] Preferably, the frame and the middle component are integrally formed aluminum alloy or stainless steel profiles; and / or, the sink is a sheet metal part; and / or, pressure edges are provided on both sides of the bottom of the sink, and the pressure edges are connected to a pressure plate assembly that fixes the sink to the mounting beam.

[0015] In addition, a photovoltaic power station is also provided, comprising the water tank installation structure.

[0016] The utility model adopts the above technical solution, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The intermediate component is connected to the water tank through fasteners, and then fixed to the photovoltaic module. Since the intermediate component and the frame of the photovoltaic module are fixed by locks and press-locked, when installing, first install the water tank on the mounting beam, determine the installation position of the module, and then connect the intermediate component to the water tank. Finally, press the module frame to lock the frame and the intermediate component. Then you can install other components in sequence on the side of the module according to the above method.

[0018] It can be seen that the operating surface is above the sink, which is more convenient and safer to construct than fixing the components by screwing bolts above or below the components. It solves the problem in the prior art that after the sink is fixed to the mounting beam, construction workers have no operating space to fix the components to the sink. It can be applied to power station construction in application scenarios where there is no operating space under the M-type sink, thereby expanding the application scenario range of the M-type sink.

[0019] In addition, since the frame and the intermediate components are fixed by locking buckles, no screwing or welding is required, which reduces the construction process and speeds up the construction efficiency of the power station.

[0020] 2. When installing photovoltaic modules, align the lock slot with the lock head for initial positioning, then press the frame, the lock head and the lock slot are locked, so that the intermediate component and the frame of the photovoltaic module are fixed by the lock buckle, which is not only convenient for construction but also reliable.

[0021] 3. Since barbs are provided on opposite sides of the locking portion, after the locking portion is inserted into the lock slot, the barbs lock with the spring pieces, thereby preventing the lock slot and the lock head from separating.

[0022] 4. Since there is an engaging structure between the spring piece and the barb to achieve engagement, the locking effect can be further enhanced to prevent the lock slot and the lock head from separating.

[0023] 5. The sink is M-shaped, and the middle component is U-shaped and inverted on the sink. In this way, the middle component adapts to the shape of the M-shaped sink, does not affect the normal water conduction of the sink, and can enhance the structural strength of the sink to avoid deformation.

[0024] 6. The two side walls of the water tank are connected to the two side walls of the middle component by bolts to fix the two into one, thereby determining the installation position of the component.

[0025] 7. There are pressure edges on both sides of the bottom of the sink, which are connected to the pressure plate assembly that fixes the sink to the mounting beam, thus fixing the position of the sink.

[0026] 8. Because the frame and center member are integrally formed from aluminum alloy or stainless steel, they can be mass-produced as universal components, reducing costs while offering lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and a long service life. Furthermore, the sink is a sheet metal component, which is characterized by its light weight, high strength, low cost, and good mass production performance.

[0027] These features and advantages of the present invention will be disclosed in detail in the following specific embodiments and drawings.

[Specific implementation method]

[0036] The following is an explanation and description of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiments of the present invention, but the following embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not exhaustive. Based on the embodiments in the embodiments, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that, unless there is any conflict, the features in the following embodiments and implementations may be combined with each other.

[0038] The terms used in this utility model are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the utility model. For example, the terms "upper," "lower," "horizontal," and "vertical" used below to indicate orientation or positional relationships are based solely on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are used solely to facilitate the description of the utility model and simplify the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed or operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the utility model.

[0039] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include the first and second features being in direct contact, or may include the first and second features being in contact not directly but through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above," "above," and "above" a second feature may include the first feature being directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below," "below," and "below" a second feature may include the first feature being directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0040] Referring to conventional photovoltaic power stations in the prior art, photovoltaic modules are arranged in a rectangular array and tilted at a certain angle along the longitudinal direction. Two adjacent rows of photovoltaic modules are provided with gutters under adjacent parts for drainage, usually including longitudinal gutters extending longitudinally and transverse gutters extending transversely, wherein the longitudinal gutters are provided under adjacent parts of the two transverse columns of photovoltaic modules, and the transverse gutters are provided under adjacent parts of the two longitudinal rows of photovoltaic modules. The gutters involved in this embodiment mainly refer to longitudinal gutters, which are installed on crossbeams, that is, crossbeams serve as gutter mounting beams.

[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 6As shown, a photovoltaic power station water tank installation structure includes a mounting beam 8, a water tank 6 perpendicularly intersecting the mounting beam 8 and fixed on the mounting beam, and a photovoltaic module 1 installed above the water tank 6. The water tank installation structure also includes an intermediate component 3, which is connected to the water tank 6 through fasteners, and the intermediate component 3 is fixed to the frame 2 of the photovoltaic module through a lock.

[0042] Since the intermediate component and the frame of the photovoltaic module are fixed by a lock, that is, a push-type lock, during installation, first install the water tank on the mounting beam, determine the installation position of the module, and then connect the intermediate component to the water tank. Finally, press the module frame to achieve the lock fixation between the frame and the intermediate component. Then, other components can be installed in sequence on the side of the module according to the above method.

[0043] It can be seen that the operating surface is above the sink, which is more convenient and safer to construct than fixing the components by screwing bolts above or below the components. It solves the problem in the prior art that after the sink is fixed to the mounting beam, construction workers have no operating space to fix the components to the sink. It can be applied to power station construction in application scenarios where there is no operating space under the M-type sink, thereby expanding the application scenario range of the M-type sink.

[0044] In addition, since the frame and the intermediate components are fixed by locking buckles, no screwing or welding is required, which reduces the construction process and speeds up the construction efficiency of the power station.

[0045] As one embodiment, the lock includes a lock slot 21 and a lock head 4. The lock slot 21 is provided on one of the intermediate member 3 and the frame 2, and the lock head 4 is provided on the other of the intermediate member 3 and the frame 2. Figure 2 As shown in the example, a lock slot 21 is provided on the bottom surface of the frame, and a lock head 4 is provided on the intermediate member. The lock slot 21 and the frame 2 are integrally formed, and the lock head 4 is also integrally formed with the intermediate member 3. That is, compared with the traditional frame structure, the frame in this embodiment has an additional lock slot. Thus, when installing the photovoltaic module, the lock slot is aligned with the lock head for initial positioning. Then, the frame is pressed, and the lock head and the lock slot are locked, so that the intermediate member and the frame of the photovoltaic module are fixed together by the lock buckle. This not only facilitates construction but also provides reliable fixation.

[0046] The mouth of the lock slot 21 is provided with an elastic contraction structure, and the lock head 4 is provided with a locking portion that squeezes the elastic contraction structure and is inserted into the lock slot. After the locking portion is inserted into the lock slot, the elastic contraction structure expands and locks with the locking portion. This prevents the lock slot and the lock head from separating after the elastic contraction structure and the locking portion are locked.

[0047] Specifically, the elastic contraction structure includes spring pieces 211 disposed on opposite sides of the opening of the lock slot 21. The spring pieces 211 extend obliquely from the sidewalls of the lock slot opening toward the center. The locking portion includes a central T-shaped post 41 with barbs 42 disposed on opposite sides of the T-shaped post 41. When the locking portion is inserted into the lock slot, the barbs 42 engage with the spring pieces 211, preventing the lock slot and the lock head from separating.

[0048] Furthermore, an interlocking structure is provided between the spring piece 211 and the barb 42. The free end of the spring piece 211 is provided with a hook groove 212, and the free end of the barb 42 is provided with a hook head 43, which engages with the hook groove 212. This interlocking structure further strengthens the locking effect and prevents the lock groove and lock head from separating.

[0049] In this embodiment, the water trough 6 is M-shaped, and the corresponding intermediate member 3 is U-shaped and inverted onto the water trough 6. The fasteners are bolts 5, and the two side walls of the water trough 6 are connected to the two side walls of the intermediate member 3 via bolts 5. The U-shaped intermediate member adapts to the M-shaped water trough shape without affecting the normal water flow of the water trough, and it also enhances the structural strength of the water trough and prevents deformation. A locking head can also be protruded on the top wall of the intermediate member to facilitate locking with a locking groove on the bottom surface of the frame. The intermediate member and the water trough are fixed together by bolts, thereby determining the installation position of the photovoltaic module.

[0050] In addition, the bottom of the water trough 6 is provided with a pressure edge 61 on both sides, and the pressure edge 61 is connected to a pressure plate assembly 7 that fixes the water trough 6 to the mounting beam 8. The pressure plate assembly can adopt a conventional structure, including an upper pressure plate, a lower pressure plate, and pressure plate bolts connecting the upper and lower pressure plates. The upper pressure plate is pressed onto the pressure edge, and the lower pressure plate is arranged below the mounting beam. The pressure plate bolts are usually U-shaped bolts. Here, the edge of the pressure edge is provided with an upper flange. The upper pressure plate includes a pressing portion that cooperates with the pressure edge, a bridge portion that spans the upper flange, and a support portion that is pressed onto the mounting beam, wherein the bridge portion is connected to the pressure plate bolts.

[0051] Preferably, the frame 2 and intermediate member 3 are integrally formed from aluminum alloy or stainless steel. These can be mass-produced as universal components, reducing costs while offering lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and a long service life. The water tank 6 is a sheet metal component. Sheet metal components are characterized by light weight, high strength, low cost, and good mass production performance.

[0052] In this embodiment of the photovoltaic power station water tank installation structure, first, the M-shaped water tank 6 is secured to the mounting beam 8 using the clamping action of the pressure plate assembly 7. Then, the intermediate member 3 is sequentially secured to the M-shaped water tank 6 using bolts 5 according to the design layout. Finally, the assembly frame 2 is pressed, so that the locking groove 21 on the frame's bottom surface and the locking head 4 on the intermediate member 3 interlock with each other. The remaining photovoltaic modules 1 are then installed horizontally using the same method.

[0053] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the utility model, but the scope of protection of the utility model is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art will understand that the utility model includes, but is not limited to, the contents described in the drawings and the above specific embodiments. Any modifications that do not deviate from the functional and structural principles of the utility model are intended to be included within the scope of the claims.
