Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of photovoltaic panel technology, and particularly relates to a photovoltaic panel connection bridge. Background Art

[0002] A photovoltaic (PV) panel is a device that converts sunlight into electrical energy. It is typically composed of many solar cells and is widely used in residential and commercial solar power systems. By installing PV panels, people can use solar energy to generate electricity, reducing their dependence on traditional power sources.

[0003] To enable the cleaning robot to pass smoothly through adjacent photovoltaic panel modules, existing devices use connecting bridges to connect multiple photovoltaic modules into a whole. However, most existing connecting bridges are in the form of telescopic sleeves. When the inner sleeve of the connecting bridge extends to the critical point where it abuts against the inner wall of the outer sleeve near the end face, the photovoltaic modules are prone to deformation or damage under the driving action of the tracking bracket, which affects the normal operation of the photovoltaic system.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, the existing Chinese utility model patent, "Connecting Cable Tray, Photovoltaic Equipment, and Photovoltaic System," utilizes a guide tongue on the end face of the second connector. This allows the guide tongue to abut against the inner wall of the telescopic channel when one end of the second connector abuts against the wall of the insertion hole of the first connector. This reduces the angle at which the second and first connectors sway under gravity or wind force, effectively preventing the second connector from easily jamming with the first connector when it moves to the insertion hole. However, when a cleaning robot cleans photovoltaic panels, the connection point between the connector and the photovoltaic panel has significant undulations, making it difficult for the cleaning robot to pass through and increasing the risk of it falling. This increases the danger of the cleaning robot cleaning photovoltaic panels and reduces cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.

[0005] In summary, the existing photovoltaic panel connecting bridge has significant undulations at the connection point between the connector and the photovoltaic panel, which makes the cleaning robot prone to falling off and results in low cleaning efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention provides a photovoltaic panel connecting bridge, which aims to solve the problem that the connection between the connector and the photovoltaic panel of the existing photovoltaic panel connecting bridge has large undulations, which makes the cleaning robot easy to fall off and the cleaning robot has low cleaning efficiency.

[0007] An embodiment of the present invention provides a photovoltaic panel connection bridge comprising:

[0008] A first connector and a second connector are embedded together. One end of the first connector is connected to the photovoltaic panel, and one end of the second connector is connected to an adjacent photovoltaic panel.

[0009] The first connector includes a first connecting body, a first connecting arm, and a first connecting caliper, wherein the first connecting body and the first connecting arm are connected by a pivot, and the first connecting arm and the first connecting caliper are connected by a pivot.

[0010] The second connector includes a second connecting body, a second connecting arm, and a second connecting caliper. The second connecting body and the second connecting arm are connected by a pivot, and the second connecting arm and the second connecting caliper are connected by a pivot.

[0011] The first connecting body and the second connecting body are hollow inside. The outer dimension of the second connecting body is not greater than the inner dimension of the first connecting body. The second connecting body is embedded and connected to the first connecting body, and the second connecting body can slide freely inside the first connecting body.

[0012] Furthermore, the first connecting body is provided with a limiting groove, and the second connecting body at the corresponding position of the limiting groove is provided with a limiting key.

[0013] Furthermore, the first connecting caliper and the second caliper are equipped with clamping elements.

[0014] Furthermore, the extrusion member is provided with an extrusion protrusion, a connecting rod and a knob. The extrusion protrusion is located at one end of the connecting rod, the knob is located at the other end of the connecting rod, and the surface of the connecting rod is provided with external threads.

[0015] Furthermore, the connecting rod is connected to the first connecting member and the second connecting member by a threaded connection.

[0016] By providing a first connector and a second connector, photovoltaic panels that are spaced at different distances can be connected. The first and second connecting clamps are used to connect to adjacent photovoltaic panels. The connection thickness between the clamps and the photovoltaic panels is small, which facilitates the passage of the photovoltaic panel robot. Attached Figure Description

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0024] By providing a first connector and a second connector, photovoltaic panels that are spaced at different distances can be connected. The first and second connecting clamps are used to connect to adjacent photovoltaic panels. The connection thickness between the clamps and the photovoltaic panels is small, which facilitates the passage of the photovoltaic panel robot.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a photovoltaic panel connecting bridge 100, comprising:

[0027] A first connector 120 and a second connector 110 are embedded together. One end of the first connector 120 is connected to the photovoltaic panel, and one end of the second connector 110 is connected to the adjacent photovoltaic panel.

[0028] The first connector 120 is provided with a first connecting body 121, a first connecting arm 123 and a first connecting caliper, wherein the first connecting body 121 and the first connecting arm 123 are connected by a pivot, and the first connecting arm 123 and the first connecting caliper are connected by a pivot.

[0029] The second connector 110 is provided with a second connecting body 111, a second connecting arm 113 and a second connecting clamp 112, wherein the second connecting body 111 and the second connecting arm 113 are connected by a pivot, and the second connecting arm 113 and the second connecting clamp 112 are connected by a pivot.

[0030] The first connecting body 121 and the second connecting body 111 are hollow inside. The outer dimension of the second connecting body 111 is not greater than the inner dimension of the first connecting body 121. The second connecting body 111 is embedded and connected to the first connecting body 121, and the second connecting body 111 can slide freely inside the first connecting body 121.

[0031] In this embodiment, the photovoltaic panel connecting bridge 100 is composed of a first connector 120 and a second connector 110. The first connector 120 and the second connector 110 are nested together. The first connector 120 and the second connector 110 can be separated from each other or brought closer together. When the first connector 120 and the second connector 110 are separated from each other, the overall length of the photovoltaic panel connecting bridge 100 formed by the first connector 120 and the second connector 110 increases, which makes it easier to connect photovoltaic panels that are far apart. When the first connector 120 and the second connector 110 are brought closer together, the overall length of the photovoltaic panel connecting bridge 100 formed by the first connector 120 and the second connector 110 decreases, which makes it easier to connect photovoltaic panels that are close together.

[0032] When connecting adjacent photovoltaic panels via a photovoltaic connector, one end of the first connector 120 is connected to one side of the photovoltaic panel, the relative positions of the first connector 120 and the second connector 110 are adjusted to a suitable position, and then one end of the second connector 110 is connected to the adjacent photovoltaic panel, thereby achieving the connection of adjacent photovoltaic panels.

[0033] In one embodiment, the first connector 120 includes a first connecting body 121, a first connecting arm 123, and a first connecting clamp. The first connecting body 121 is used to connect with the second connector 110, and the interior of the first connecting body 121 is hollow. The first connecting arm 123 is used for steering, and both ends of the first connecting arm 123 are chamfered. The first connecting clamp is used to connect with the photovoltaic panel, and the first connecting clamp and the photovoltaic panel are connected in a detachable manner, such as by embedding, snap-fitting, or threaded connection. In this embodiment, the clamp connection method is preferred.

[0034] Specifically, the first connecting body 121 and the first connecting arm 123 are connected by a hinge or a pivot, and the first connecting arm 123 can rotate around the hinge or pivot at a certain angle. The first connecting arm 123 and the first caliper 122 are connected by a hinge or a pivot, and the first connecting arm 123 and the first caliper 122 can rotate around the hinge or pivot at a certain angle.

[0035] In another embodiment, the second connector 110 includes a second connecting body 111, a second connecting arm 113, and a second connecting clamp 112. The second connecting body 111 and the second connecting arm 113 are connected by a pivot, and the second connecting arm 113 and the second connecting clamp 112 are also connected by a pivot. The second connecting body 111 is used to connect to the second connector 110, and the interior of the second connecting body 111 is hollow. The second connecting arm 113 is used for steering, and both ends of the second connecting arm 113 are chamfered. The second connecting clamp 112 is used to connect to the photovoltaic panel, and the second connecting clamp 112 and the photovoltaic panel are connected in a detachable manner, such as by embedding, snap-fitting, or threaded connection. In this embodiment, the clamp connection method is preferred.

[0036] Specifically, the second connecting body 111 and the second connecting arm 113 are connected by a hinge or a pivot. The second connecting arm 113 can rotate around the hinge or pivot by a certain angle. The second connecting arm 113 and the second caliper are connected by a hinge or a pivot. The second connecting arm 113 and the second caliper can rotate around the hinge or pivot by a certain angle.

[0037] In another embodiment, the outer dimension of the second connecting body 111 is not greater than the inner dimension of the first connecting body 121. When the first connecting body 121 is connected to the second connecting body 111, the second connecting body 111 can be embedded in the first connecting body 121, and the second connecting body 111 can slide freely within the first connecting body 121.

[0038] By providing a first connector 120 and a second connector 110, photovoltaic panels that are spaced at different distances can be connected. The first connecting clamp and the second connecting clamp 112 connect to adjacent photovoltaic panels. The connection thickness between the clamp and the photovoltaic panel is small, which facilitates the passage of the photovoltaic panel robot.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first connecting body 121 is provided with a limiting groove, and the second connecting body 111, which is located at the corresponding position of the limiting groove, is provided with a limiting key 114.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first connecting body 121 is provided with a limiting groove, which is used to position the second connecting member 110 and limit the relative position of the second connecting member 110 and the first connecting member 120. The shape of the limiting groove can be rectangular, elliptical, or serrated. The specific shape can be selected according to actual needs. In this embodiment, a rectangular shape is preferred. The second connecting body 111 is provided with a limiting key 114 corresponding to the limiting groove. The shape of the limiting key 114 can be rectangular or elliptical. In this embodiment, a rectangular shape is preferred for the limiting key 114.

[0042] Specifically, when the limiting groove and the limiting key 114 are installed, the limiting key 114 is embedded in the limiting groove and can slide freely in the limiting groove. When it is necessary to increase the total length between the first connecting member 120 and the second connecting member 110, the first connecting body 121 is embedded in the second connecting body 111, and the limiting key 114 slides to the farthest end of the limiting groove. When it is necessary to reduce the total length between the first connecting member 120 and the second connecting member 110, the limiting key 114 slides to the nearest end of the limiting groove, thereby reducing the total length of the first connecting member 120 and the second connecting member 110.

[0043] By providing a limiting groove in the first connecting body 121 and a corresponding limiting groove in the second connecting body 111, the connection between the first connecting member 120 and the second connecting member 110 can be made stable during use and not easily loosened, thus enhancing the safety and reliability of the connection.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first connecting clamp and the second connecting clamp 112 are provided with a pressing member 130. The pressing member 130 is used to connect the photovoltaic panel connecting bridge 100 to the photovoltaic panel. Specifically, the pressing member 130 can be a pressing block 133, or it can be other devices with a pressing function.

[0047] By incorporating a pressing element 130 within the first and second connecting clamps 112, the photovoltaic panel connecting bridge 100 can be quickly installed when connected to the photovoltaic panel, saving time and labor costs. Simultaneously, the pressing element 130 can absorb vibrations and protect the photovoltaic panel from damage.

The surface of the connecting rod 132 is provided with external threads.

[0050] In this embodiment, the extrusion member 130 is provided with an extrusion protrusion, a connecting rod 132 and a knob 131. The extrusion protrusion is used to connect with the photovoltaic panel, the connecting rod 132 is used to move the extrusion protrusion closer to or away from the photovoltaic panel, and the knob 131 is connected to the connecting rod 132. By rotating the knob 131, the connecting rod 132 can be driven to rotate.

[0051] Furthermore, a pressing protrusion is located at one end of the connecting rod 132, and a knob 131 is located at the other end of the connecting rod 132. The surface of the connecting rod 132 is provided with external threads, and the connecting rod 132 is threadedly connected to the first caliper 122 and the second caliper. When it is necessary to connect the pressing protrusion to the photovoltaic panel, the knob 131 is rotated to rotate the connecting rod 132, and the pressing protrusion moves closer to the photovoltaic panel through the connecting rod 132 until the pressing block 133 is pressed and connected to the photovoltaic panel. When it is necessary to separate the pressing protrusion from the photovoltaic panel, the knob 131 is rotated to rotate the connecting rod 132, and the pressing protrusion is separated from the photovoltaic panel through the connecting rod 132 until the pressing block 133 is pressed and a certain distance is created between the pressing block 133 and the photovoltaic panel.

[0052] The connecting rod 132 is connected to the first connecting caliper and the second connecting caliper 112 by a threaded connection, which is convenient to adjust. The thread can be easily rotated to change the distance between the extrusion protrusion and the photovoltaic panel. It is convenient and quick, and the threaded connection can provide good fixing force and is not easy to loosen.

[0053] Example 5

[0054] The connecting rod 132 is threadedly connected to the first connecting member 120 and the second connecting member 110.

The threaded connection allows for multiple adjustments to maintain the same settings, reducing production costs. It is also reusable and easy to maintain.
