[0034] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0035] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.
[0036] This application discloses a clamping device for solar panels.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 The clamping device includes a mounting base 1, a connecting base 2, and a clamping block 3. The lower end of the connecting base 2 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the mounting base 1, and the clamping block 3 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting base 2. A space for clamping the solar panel is formed between the clamping block 3 and the connecting base 2.
[0038] In practical applications, the mounting base 1 is installed on the mounting frame 7, and the solar panel is pressed between the connecting base 2 and the pressing block 3. The connecting base 2 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 1, which enables the solar panel to rotate. This allows the pressing device to be used with solar panels at different angles, thereby improving the applicability of the pressing device.
[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the clamping device further includes a connector 4. Specifically, the connector 4 includes a sliding column 41, which is installed on the clamping block 3. The upper end of the connecting seat 2 has a sliding groove 21, which is arranged along the length direction of the connecting seat 2. The lower end of the sliding column 41 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 21 to realize the sliding connection between the clamping block 3 and the connecting seat 2, thereby adjusting the clamping position of the solar panel and making the installation of the solar panel more stable.
[0040] In some embodiments, the connector 4 further includes a connecting nut 42. The upper end of the sliding column 41 is movably inserted through the clamping block 3. The connecting nut 42 is threadedly connected to the upper end of the sliding column 41 and abuts against the clamping block 3 to achieve fixation between the clamping block 3 and the connecting seat 2, thereby improving the stability of the solar panel being pressed between the connecting seat 2 and the clamping block 3. At the same time, loosening the connecting nut 42 allows the clamping block 3 to move upward a certain distance, facilitating the placement of the solar panel between the connecting seat 2 and the clamping block 3, thus facilitating the clamping and fixing of the solar panel.
[0041] In some embodiments, the connector 4 further includes a gasket 43, which is disposed between the clamping block 3 and the connecting nut 42 to minimize loosening between the clamping block 3 and the connecting nut 42, thereby further improving the stability of the solar panel being pressed between the connector 2 and the clamping block 3.
[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the clamping device further includes a heightening column 5, the upper end of which protrudes along its length to form a connector strip 51. The lower end of the mounting base 1 has a first connector groove 11, which is arranged along the length of the mounting base 1. The connector strip 51 is inserted into the first connector groove 11. When adjusting the angle of the solar panel, the connector strip 51 of the heightening column 5 is inserted into the first slot of the mounting base 1 to raise one side of the solar panel, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the solar panel's angle.
[0043] In some embodiments, the lower end of the heightening column 5 is provided with a second insertion groove 52. The second insertion groove 52 is arranged along the length direction of the mounting base 1, and the second insertion groove 52 is adapted to the insertion strip 51, so that the insertion strip 51 of one heightening column 5 can be inserted into the second insertion groove 52 of another heightening column 5, so that the two heightening columns 5 can be inserted together. The number of heightening columns 5 can be selected according to the actual situation to adjust the required angle of the solar panel.
[0044] In some embodiments, the clamping device further includes a fastener 6. Specifically, the fastener 6 includes a fastening stud 61 and two fastening nuts 62. The fastening stud 61 passes between the mounting base 1 and the raising post 5, and the two fastening nuts 62 are threaded to both ends of the fastening stud 61, with each fastening nut 62 abutting against the mounting base 1 and the raising post 5, making the fixation between the mounting base 1 and the raising post 5 more stable. Of course, the two raising posts 5 can also be fixed together by the fastener 6.
[0045] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: In practical applications, the mounting base 1 is installed on the mounting frame 7, the solar panel is pressed between the connecting base 2 and the pressing block 3, and the connecting base 2 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 1, so that the solar panel can be rotated. This makes the pressing device applicable to solar panels at different angles, thereby improving the applicability of the pressing device.
[0046] This application also discloses a ballast support.
[0047] Reference Figure 4The ballast support includes a mounting frame 7 and multiple clamping devices described in the above embodiments. The clamping devices are fixedly connected to the mounting frame 7 via mounting base 1 or lifting columns 5. In this configuration, one side of the solar panel's clamping device does not have a lifting column 5 installed, meaning that side is lower in height, while the other side has a clamping device with a lifting column 5 installed, meaning that side is higher in height. This allows the solar panel to be tilted, and the angle of the solar panel can be adjusted by selecting the number of lifting columns 5.
[0048] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
