[0035] This application provides an installation component, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the mounting assembly includes an inner tube 100, a sleeve 200 and a clamping member 300. The sleeve 200 has a chamber, the inner tube 100 is at least partially arranged in the chamber, and the sleeve 200 is provided with a receiving space 210 connecting the chamber and the outside world; one end of the clamping member 300 is connected to the sleeve 200, and the other end passes through the receiving space 210 and is connected to the inner tube 100. The clamping member 300 has a first state and a second state. The inner tube 100 is configured to rotate so that the clamping member 300 switches between the first state and the second state. When in the first state, the clamping member 300 is arranged in the receiving space 210. When in the second state, the clamping member 300 partially extends out of the receiving space 210, and the part extending out of the receiving space 210 is used to be clamped with the guide rail 500.

[0036] The mounting assembly is constructed by sleeve 200 being sleeved onto inner tube 100, and providing a receiving space 210 on sleeve 200. One end of a clip 300 is connected to sleeve 200, and the other end passes through receiving space 210 and is connected to inner tube 100. By rotating inner tube 100, clip 300 is switched between a first state and a second state. When clip 300 is in the first state, i.e., clip 300 is located within receiving space 210, facilitating insertion of the mounting assembly into guide rail 500. Then, by rotating inner tube 100, clip 300 is switched from the first state to the second state, at which point clip 300 partially extends out of receiving space 210, and the portion of clip 300 extending out of receiving space 210 engages with guide rail 500, thereby connecting the mounting assembly to guide rail 500. The mounting assembly provided by the present application, when used to connect a guide rail 500 and a photovoltaic assembly 600, only needs to make the mounting assembly pass through the photovoltaic assembly 600 and the guide rail 500 in sequence, and then rotate the inner tube 100 to put the clamping member 300 in the second state, thereby realizing the connection between the photovoltaic assembly 600 and the guide rail 500; when used to connect a guide rail 500 and two adjacent photovoltaic assemblies 600, the mounting assembly is made to pass through the gap between the adjacent photovoltaic assemblies 600 and the guide rail 500 in sequence, and then rotate the inner tube 100 to put the clamping member 300 in the second state, thereby realizing the connection between the two adjacent photovoltaic assemblies 600 and the guide rail 500. The mounting assembly of the present application, only needs to rotate the inner tube 100 to realize the switching of the clamping member 300 between the first state and the second state, thereby realizing the purpose of quick installation or quick disassembly, and the special-shaped nuts required for the original installation are omitted, thereby achieving the purpose of cost reduction.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mounting assembly further includes a slider 400, which is threadedly connected to the inner tube 100, and the end of the clamping member 300 facing away from the sleeve 200 is connected to the slider 400. By setting the slider 400 to be threadedly connected to the inner tube 100 and the end of the clamping member 300 facing away from the sleeve 200 to be connected to the slider 400, the inner tube 100 is rotated to move the slider 400 along the axial direction of the inner tube 100, thereby causing the end of the clamping member 300 facing away from the sleeve 200 to move along the axial direction of the inner tube 100, thereby switching the state of the clamping member 300.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the inner tube 100 is rotated clockwise, so that the slider 400 moves axially upward. At this time, the clamping member 300 extends from the accommodating space 210 and opens, so that the clamping member 300 switches from the first state to the second state; the inner tube 100 is rotated counterclockwise, and the slider 400 moves axially downward. At this time, the clamping member 300 is recovered into the accommodating space 210, so that the clamping member 300 switches from the second state to the first state.

[0039] In other embodiments, the inner tube 100 is rotated clockwise to switch the clamping member 300 from the second state to the first state; and the inner tube 100 is rotated counterclockwise to switch the clamping member 300 from the first state to the second state.

[0040] Specifically, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clamping member 300 includes a first mounting plate 310 and a second mounting plate 320. The first mounting plate 310 is connected to the inner wall of the accommodating space 210, and the second mounting plate 320 is connected to the slider 400. When in a first state, the first mounting plate 310 and the second mounting plate 320 are parallel. When in a second state, the first mounting plate 310 and the second mounting plate 320 are arranged at an angle. The first mounting plate 310 is connected to the inner wall of the accommodating space 210, and the second mounting plate 320 is connected to the slider 400. The slider 400 moves along the axial direction of the inner tube 100, thereby driving the second mounting plate 320 to move along the axial direction of the inner tube 100, thereby adjusting the relative positions of the first mounting plate 310 and the second mounting plate 320.

[0041] More specifically, when in the second state, the angle between the first mounting plate 310 and the second mounting plate 320 is an acute angle.

[0042] Specifically, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there are multiple clamping members 300, and multiple accommodating spaces 210 are provided, and the multiple accommodating spaces 210 correspond one-to-one to the multiple clamping members 300. Multiple clamping members 300 are provided, and the multiple accommodating spaces 210 correspond one-to-one to the multiple clamping members 300. The multiple clamping members 300 can all be clamped to the guide rail 500, thereby improving the clamping stability.

[0043] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, two clamping members 300 are provided, and the arrangement direction of the two clamping members 300 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the inner tube 100. In other embodiments, the number of clamping members 300 can be three, four or even more, and the specific number of the clamping members 300 is set according to actual operation needs.

[0044] Specifically, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the slider 400 is annular and sleeved on the inner tube 100, and the multiple clamping members 300 are connected to the slider 400. The slider 400 is configured as an annular shape, sleeved on the inner tube 100, and threadedly connected to the inner tube 100. The second mounting plates 320 of the multiple clamping members 300 are all connected to the same slider 400. The movement of the slider 400 drives the multiple clamping members 300 to move synchronously.

[0045] Further, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sleeve 200 includes a sleeve portion 220 and an overlap portion 230 connected to each other. The sleeve portion 220 has a cavity, and the overlap portion 230 is used to overlap the frame of the photovoltaic module 600. The sleeve portion 220 of the sleeve 200 is sleeved outside the inner tube 100, and the overlap portion 230 is connected to the sleeve portion 220. When the guide rail 500 and the photovoltaic module 600 are connected by the installation assembly, the overlap portion 230 of the sleeve 200 can overlap the frame of the photovoltaic module 600, thereby pressing the guide rail 500 and the photovoltaic module 600 together.

[0046] Specifically, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the overlapping portion 230 is disposed at one end of the sleeve portion 220 , and the overlapping portion 230 extends along an axial direction perpendicular to the sleeve portion 220 .

The screw rod 110 of the inner tube 100 is extended into the cavity of the sleeve portion 220, and the screw head 120 of the inner tube 100 overlaps the overlapping portion 230 of the sleeve 200, so that the screw head 120 of the inner tube 100 is located outside the cavity, making it easier for the operator to rotate the inner tube 100.

[0048] This application also provides a photovoltaic system, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes a guide rail 500, multiple photovoltaic components 600 and an installation component of any of the above items. The installation component is configured to pass through the gap between two adjacent photovoltaic components 600 and extend into the groove 510 of the guide rail 500. When in the second state, the clamping member 300 is clamped in the groove 510.

[0049] The photovoltaic system described above utilizes a mounting assembly to connect the guide rail 500 and two adjacent photovoltaic modules 600. The mounting assembly is sequentially passed through the gap between the adjacent photovoltaic modules 600 and the groove 510 of the guide rail 500. The inner tube 100 is then rotated to place the clip 300 in the second state, thereby achieving connection between the two adjacent photovoltaic modules 600 and the guide rail 500. The photovoltaic system of the present application can achieve quick assembly or disassembly by simply rotating the inner tube 100 to switch the clip 300 between the first and second states. This facilitates assembly and disassembly, is simple to operate, and reduces production costs.

When the installation assembly is used to connect two adjacent photovoltaic modules 600 and the guide rail 500, the installation assembly is sequentially passed through the gap between the adjacent photovoltaic modules 600 and the groove 510 of the guide rail 500. Then, the inner tube 100 is rotated to put the clamping member 300 in the second state. At this time, the clamping member 300 is engaged with the groove 510, and the overlapping portion 230 of the sleeve 200 overlaps the frame of the two adjacent photovoltaic modules 600, thereby achieving the connection between the two adjacent photovoltaic modules 600 and the guide rail 500.
