Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic panel installation technology, and in particular to an installation edge buffer pad. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing global emphasis on renewable energy, photovoltaic (PV) power generation, as a clean and efficient energy form, has received widespread attention and application. As the core component of a PV power generation system, the installation quality of PV panels directly affects the overall system's power generation efficiency and safety. Before installation, wipe the surface of the PV panels with a clean cloth to ensure they are free of dust and debris. The PV module support structure consists of rear columns, front columns, crossbeams, diagonal beams, and connectors, all connected using bolts, plastic wing nuts, and other components. The battery modules are connected to the support beams using clamping blocks, forming a complete unit.
[0003] When installing existing photovoltaic panels, the frame of the photovoltaic panel is usually aligned with the mounting holes on the bracket, and the frame is fixed to the bracket with bolts or clamps. This installation method leaves the photovoltaic panel without protection around its edges, making it easy for the solar panel to be damaged by objects. At the same time, the installation is also time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is easily corroded by rainwater, which reduces its service life.
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a method for installing an edge buffer pad to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an edge buffer pad that facilitates installation, cushions the solar panel around its perimeter, prevents damage to the solar panel from collisions, and extends the lifespan of the buffer pad.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an edge buffer pad, including a protective strip, with U-shaped blocks fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the protective strip, a first positioning strip movably connected inside the U-shaped blocks, positioning blocks fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the first positioning strip, a drainage hole opened inside the first positioning strip, a damping spring fixedly connected below the first positioning strip, and a second positioning strip fixedly connected below the damping spring.
[0007] The positioning block has a first mounting hole inside, and the U-shaped block has a second mounting hole inside. A threaded rod is threadedly connected inside the second mounting hole, and a rotating handle is fixedly connected to one side of the threaded rod.
[0008] Furthermore, the slot inside the U-shaped block has the same size as the positioning block, and the first positioning strip has the same size as the second positioning strip, which improves the sealing between the first and second positioning strips and the U-shaped block and prevents the first and second positioning strips from sliding inside the protective strip.
[0009] Furthermore, the first positioning strip and the second positioning strip are symmetrically installed on the inner side of the protective strip. The first positioning strip is connected to the second positioning strip through a damping spring. The damping spring connects the first positioning strip and the second positioning strip, allowing one side of the solar panel to rest on the first positioning strip, which provides a good buffering effect at the connection point of the two solar panels.
[0010] Furthermore, the positioning blocks are vertically arranged on the left and right sides of the first positioning strip, and the first mounting holes are vertically arranged inside the positioning blocks to facilitate the installation of the threaded rod.
[0011] Furthermore, the second mounting hole is vertically disposed inside the U-shaped block, and the diameter of the second mounting hole is the same as that of the first mounting hole. The first and second mounting holes are provided with threads that match the outside of the threaded rod. The threaded rod is vertically installed inside the first and second mounting holes, so that the first positioning strip and the second positioning strip are fixed to the U-shaped block, and the protective strip is engaged and fixed to the solar panel.
[0012] Furthermore, the threaded rod is vertically threaded into the interior of the first and second mounting holes, and the central axis of the rotating handle is perpendicular to the central axis of the threaded rod, making it easier to disassemble the threaded rod by rotating the handle.
[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. The present invention proposes an installation edge buffer pad, which is designed to be able to be locked and fixed on both sides, making it easier to splice and fix multiple solar panels, thus improving installation efficiency. At the same time, the installation of a damping spring inside the protective strip can provide a good buffering effect for two spliced solar panels, preventing deformation of the splice joint due to pressure.
[0015] 2. The installation edge buffer pad proposed in this utility model can effectively drain water from the solar panel by opening drainage holes inside the first positioning strip and the second positioning strip, thereby improving the overall service life of the buffer pad. In addition, the U-shaped block can be quickly fixed to the first positioning strip by the threaded rod, which is convenient for installation during use. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 One embodiment of this utility model is an edge buffer pad, including a protective strip 1, with U-shaped blocks 2 fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the protective strip 1, a first positioning strip 3 movably connected inside the U-shaped blocks 2, positioning blocks 4 fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the first positioning strip 3, a drainage hole 5 opened inside the first positioning strip 3, a damping spring 6 fixedly connected below the first positioning strip 3, and a second positioning strip 7 fixedly connected below the damping spring 6.
[0024] Specifically, the slot inside the U-shaped block 2 has the same size as the positioning block 4, which facilitates the tight installation of the first positioning strip 3 inside the protective strip 1, effectively preventing the first positioning strip 3 from sliding inside the protective strip 1. The size of the first positioning strip 3 is the same as the size of the second positioning strip 7. The first positioning strip 3 and the second positioning strip 7 are installed symmetrically inside the protective strip 1. During installation, the upper and lower sides of the photovoltaic panel are locked and fixed by the U-shaped block 2, effectively protecting the perimeter of the photovoltaic panel and preventing damage to the solar panel due to collision. The first positioning strip 3 is connected to the second positioning strip 7 through the damping spring 6. When installing the solar panel, one side of the solar panel is placed directly on top of the first positioning strip 3. The protective strip 1 plays a good buffering role, effectively preventing the deformation of the connection between the two solar panels due to compression. The positioning block 4 is set vertically on the left and right sides of the first positioning strip 3. The positioning block 4 fits tightly against one side of the U-shaped block 2, effectively preventing the first positioning strip 3 and the second positioning strip 7 from sliding inside the protective strip 1.
[0025] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 The positioning block 4 has a first mounting hole 8 inside, and the U-shaped block 2 has a second mounting hole 9 inside. The second mounting hole 9 is threadedly connected to a threaded rod 10, and a rotating handle 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the threaded rod 10.
[0026] Specifically, the first mounting hole 8 is vertically disposed inside the positioning block 4, and the second mounting hole 9 is vertically disposed inside the U-shaped block 2. The diameter of the second mounting hole 9 is the same as that of the first mounting hole 8, and both the second mounting hole 9 and the first mounting hole 8 are provided with threads that match the threaded rod 10. The threaded rod 10 is vertically threaded into the interior of the first mounting hole 8 and the second mounting hole 9. The central axis of the rotating handle 11 is perpendicular to the central axis of the threaded rod 10. The first positioning strip 3 and the second positioning strip 7 can be fixed to the protective strip 1 through the threaded rod 10. The threaded rod 10 can be quickly disassembled by rotating the handle 11, which improves the convenience of the overall installation of the buffer pad.
[0027] Working principle: First, install the damping spring 6 below the first positioning strip 3, and then install the second positioning strip 7 below the damping spring 6. Next, insert the installed first positioning strip 3 and second positioning strip 7 into the U-shaped block 2, so that the top of the positioning block 4 is flush with the top of the U-shaped block 2. Then, insert the threaded rod 10 with the rotating handle 11 into the first mounting hole 8 and the second mounting hole 9 for fixation. The protective strip 1 has drainage holes 5 inside, which can effectively drain water from the solar panel through the drainage holes 5.
[0028] During installation, the pre-installed buffer pads are snapped onto the top and bottom sides of the photovoltaic panel, and the lower side of the protective strip 1 is snapped onto another photovoltaic panel for easy splicing of multiple photovoltaic panels. At the same time, the damping spring 6 installed inside the protective strip 1 can provide a good buffering effect for the two spliced solar panels, preventing the splicing joint from being deformed by pressure. The drainage holes 5 can effectively drain rainwater, improving the overall service life of the buffer pads.
[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
