Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of photovoltaic technology, and further to a photovoltaic power generation component and a balcony photovoltaic device. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems typically rely on large-scale PV power plants, which require substantial land resources and incur high construction costs. For many countries and regions, the construction of such large-scale PV power plants is not only economically unfeasible but also presents numerous challenges in implementation given limited land resources. To overcome these limitations, PV power generation technology is being integrated with building railings, which can reduce reliance on land resources, make full use of urban space, and improve energy efficiency.
[0003] However, existing balcony photovoltaic (PV) systems are structurally complex, and the PV modules, still using framed modules, are inconvenient to transport as a single unit, requiring individual components to be transported to the site for assembly. Furthermore, these framed PV modules are relatively heavy, and the installation process is also cumbersome. All these issues increase the installation difficulty for on-site operators. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the purpose of this application is to provide a photovoltaic power generation component and a balcony photovoltaic device, which simplifies the device structure, improves transportation efficiency, and reduces on-site installation difficulty.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a photovoltaic power generation component suitable for installation on a railing, comprising: a photovoltaic panel, a support member, and a first fixing member, wherein the first fixing member has a first mating end and a second mating end;
[0006] One end of the support member is rotatably connected to the first mating end, and the other end of the support member is provided with a connecting structure for connecting the support member to the railing. The second mating end forms a slot adapted to the frame of the photovoltaic panel, so that the frame of the photovoltaic panel can be at least partially embedded in the slot, thereby connecting the photovoltaic panel and the first fixing member, and thus allowing the support member to be rotatably connected to one side of the photovoltaic panel.
[0007] In some embodiments, the first mating end is provided with a groove, and the width of the support member is adapted to the width of the groove, so that the support member can be inserted into the groove. The groove and the slot are misaligned to prevent the support member from colliding with the photovoltaic panel during installation or rotation.
[0008] In some embodiments, the first docking end is provided with a pivot, which passes through the side wall of the first docking end and the end of the support member, so that the support member can rotate about the pivot.
[0009] The groove forms two limiting bottom surfaces relative to the first fixing member. Each limiting bottom surface is located on the rotation path of the support member, so that when the support member rotates, the two limiting bottom surfaces can limit the rotation range of the support member.
[0010] In some embodiments, the end of the support member away from the first fixing member is provided with a detachable connection structure, so that when the support member is rotated to a first preset position, the support member can be connected to the frame of the photovoltaic panel through the detachable connection structure for temporary storage of the support member.
[0011] In some embodiments, the support member has a recessed portion at its end away from the first fixing member. The recessed portion has an arc-shaped profile to adapt to the profile of the railing, so that when the support member is connected to the railing through the connecting structure, the recessed portion partially fits into the outer periphery of the railing.
[0012] In some embodiments, the support member is a tubular structure with a hollow cavity inside;
[0013] The connection structure includes a first through hole, a second through hole, and a flexible fastener. The first through hole and the second through hole are both located at the end of the support member away from the first fastener and are both connected to the hollow cavity.
[0014] The openings of the first through hole and the second through hole are located on both sides of the recess, so that the flexible fastener can pass through the first through hole and the second through hole simultaneously to surround the railing and fix the support to the railing.
[0015] In some embodiments, the photovoltaic power generation component further includes at least one second fixing member disposed on the frame of the photovoltaic panel for fixing the frame of the photovoltaic panel to the railing, thereby assisting the first fixing member in completing the installation of the photovoltaic panel.
[0016] In some embodiments, the second fastener is disposed on the top edge of the photovoltaic panel for connecting the top of the photovoltaic panel to the railing.
[0017] In some embodiments, the number of the support members is even, and the support members are symmetrically arranged on the two side edges of the photovoltaic panel to fix the sides of the photovoltaic panel to the railing.
[0018] Another aspect of this application also provides a balcony photovoltaic device, including: the aforementioned photovoltaic power generation component and railing body, wherein the railing body is disposed on the balcony, the railing body includes a bottom crossbeam and a top crossbeam, and the photovoltaic panel is connected to both the bottom crossbeam and the top crossbeam.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the photovoltaic power generation components and balcony photovoltaic equipment provided in this application have the following advantages:
[0020] Beneficial effects:
[0021] 1. The slot formed by the second mating end allows the frame of the photovoltaic panel to be at least partially embedded in the slot, thereby achieving a tight connection between the photovoltaic panel and the first fixing member. This significantly improves the stability of the photovoltaic panel relative to the railing, ensuring stability even in strong winds or extreme weather conditions and reducing the risk of tilting or falling off due to external factors.
[0022] 2. Through the pivot design of the first fixing component, the support component can rotate around the pivot, so as to adjust the angle between the photovoltaic panel and the support component in a timely manner, making the component more versatile; at the same time, the setting of the limiting bottom surface can limit the rotation angle of the photovoltaic panel, increase the safety of the entire structure, and even under the influence of external factors, the photovoltaic panel will not rotate excessively or tilt, reducing the potential risk of damage.
[0023] 3. The end of the support member away from the first fixing member has an arc-shaped recess. The recess partially fits into the outer periphery of the railing, providing additional mechanical interlocking. This not only improves the overall stability of the photovoltaic panel but also helps to resist the impact of external environmental factors such as strong winds.
[0024] 4. The second fastener is set on the top frame of the photovoltaic panel to connect the top of the photovoltaic panel to the railing. Together with the support members symmetrically set on the side frame of the photovoltaic panel, it can effectively improve the anti-overturning ability of the photovoltaic panel, prevent it from tipping over due to wind or other external forces, and ensure the safety of long-term use.
[0025] 5. The support components can be connected to the frame of the photovoltaic panel through a detachable connection structure for temporary folding, which improves the stability and safety of the photovoltaic power generation components during handling and transportation, and can effectively prevent the support components from being bumped or damaged due to unnecessary shaking.

[0041] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0042] Traditional photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems typically require large tracts of land and incurr high construction costs to establish large-scale PV power plants. For many countries and regions, especially in urban environments where land resources are scarce, this model is not only economically unfeasible but also faces numerous challenges in implementation. Currently, to overcome these limitations, a new model has emerged that integrates PV power generation technology with buildings. By installing PV panels on building railings to generate electricity, this not only reduces dependence on land resources but also makes full use of urban space and improves energy efficiency.
[0043] However, existing methods of mounting photovoltaic panels on railings have some significant shortcomings. Due to the lack of specially designed fixing or installation structures, photovoltaic panels may simply be leaned against the railing or installed using unstable connectors. In severe weather conditions such as strong winds, rain, or snow, or in the event of an accidental impact, photovoltaic panels may tilt, detach, or even be damaged. This not only affects power generation efficiency but may also lead to safety accidents.
[0044] Based on the current situation, the photovoltaic power generation component provided in this application can improve the stability and safety of photovoltaic panels when they are fixed relative to railings, and reduce potential damage to photovoltaic panels.
[0045] In one embodiment, refer to the appendix to the specification. Figure 1 The photovoltaic power generation component provided in this application is used to generate solar energy when installed on a railing, and mainly includes a photovoltaic panel 1, a support 2 and a first fixing component 3.
[0046] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first fixing member 3 includes a first docking end 31 and a second docking end 32. One end of the support member 2 is connected to the first docking end 31, and the other end of the support member 2 is provided with a connecting structure 20 for fixing the support member 2 to the railing.
[0047] More specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the second mating end 32 forms a slot 320. The outline of the slot 320 is adapted to the frame of the photovoltaic panel 1, so that the frame of the photovoltaic panel 1 is at least partially embedded in the slot 320, thereby realizing the connection between the photovoltaic panel 1 and the first fixing member 3.
[0048] In this embodiment, the photovoltaic panel 1 can be securely installed on the railing through the cooperation of the support member 2 and the first fixing member 3. Specifically, in this embodiment, a slot 320 is formed at the second mating end 32, and at least part of the frame of the photovoltaic panel 1 is embedded in the slot 320. This design not only provides a simple connection method but also enhances the stability and security of the connection.
[0049] Furthermore, the slot 320 can be directly snapped into place with the frame of the photovoltaic panel 1, or it can be plugged in and fastened with fasteners (such as screws) through the frame of the photovoltaic panel 1 and the second mating end 32 after it is in place, so as to fix the photovoltaic panel 1 and the first fastener 3.
[0050] It should be noted that the direct snap-fit fixing method described above can also be understood as a snap-fit fixing method. The slot 320 is designed with a specific shape or is made of elastic material. The frame of the photovoltaic panel 1 is directly inserted into the slot 320, and the fixing is achieved by the shape inside the slot 320 or the elastic compression of the elastic material. The advantage of this fixing method is that it is simple and quick to operate, requires no additional fasteners, and is convenient for installation and disassembly. The latter method, which involves first inserting and then fixing with fasteners, involves first inserting the frame of the photovoltaic panel 1 into the slot 320, and then using fasteners (such as screws) to pass through the preset holes on the frame of the photovoltaic panel 1 and the second mating end 32 of the slot 320 to fix the two together. This fixing method provides higher stability and safety, and is more suitable for environments that need to withstand greater wind or other external forces compared to the former.
[0051] Furthermore, in this embodiment, depending on the specific connection between the first docking end 31 and the support member 2, the support member 2 can be configured as either movable or immovable. In some designs, the support member 2 can be movable, such as when the support member 2 and the first docking end 31 are rotatably connected. The support member 2 can rotate relative to the photovoltaic panel 1, which to some extent allows the photovoltaic panel 1 to adjust its angle within a certain range. This is beneficial for adjusting the angle of the photovoltaic panel 1 to maximize solar energy reception in different seasons or at different times of day. For example, the photovoltaic panel 1 can be adjusted manually or automatically to face the sun, thereby increasing energy output. In contrast, the immovable support member 2 provides a fixed installation method. Once installed, the angle of the photovoltaic panel 1 is fixed, providing higher stability and safety, and is more suitable for occasions with strict requirements on wind force and other external factors.
[0052] In one embodiment, based on the above embodiment, the first docking end 31 is provided with a groove 310, which is offset from the slot 320, so as to prevent the photovoltaic panel 1 and the support member 2 from conflicting during installation, and also to prevent the support member 2 from colliding with the photovoltaic panel 1 during rotation.
[0053] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the width of the support member 2 and the width of the groove 310 are adapted to each other, so that the support member 2 can be inserted into the groove 310, providing stable support for the photovoltaic panel 1 and enhancing the stability of the entire structure.
[0054] Specifically, the groove 310 can restrict the movement of the support 2, effectively preventing the support 2 from shifting or misaligning due to external forces during installation or subsequent use, thus ensuring that the connection between the photovoltaic panel 1 and the railing is both firm and stable.
[0055] In addition, the support member 2 is embedded in the groove 310 during connection, which simplifies the installation process and improves the installation accuracy. The installer only needs to align one end of the support member 2 with the groove 310 and then push it to complete the snap-in action. This step does not require additional tools or complicated adjustments, thus saving installation time and labor.
[0056] In one embodiment, based on the above embodiment, the first docking end 31 is further provided with a rotating shaft 32, which passes through the side wall of the first docking end 31 and the support member 2, so that the support member 2 can rotate around the rotating shaft 32. This design not only provides adjustment flexibility during installation, but also allows the photovoltaic panel 1 to be finely adjusted according to the position of the sun in order to maximize the capture of solar energy.
[0057] Furthermore, such as Figure 4As shown, the groove 310 forms two limiting bottom surfaces 300 relative to the first fixing member 3. These two limiting bottom surfaces 300 are on the rotation path of the support member 2. The function of the limiting bottom surfaces 300 is to limit the rotation range of the support member 2, ensuring that when the support member 2 rotates around the rotating shaft 32, the support member 2 will not rotate to an angle that may cause instability or conflict with other components, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the photovoltaic panel 1.
[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, the two limiting bottom surfaces 300 are perpendicular to each other, which not only simplifies the rotation mechanism of the support 2, but also significantly reduces the complexity and production difficulty in the manufacturing process. It is understandable that during the manufacturing process of the first fixing part 3, the groove 310 is formed by mechanical cutting or milling, and the two perpendicular limiting bottom surfaces 300 can be completed with just a few simple cutting operations, reducing processing steps and the number of machine tool adjustments required. This shortens the production cycle of the component, making the first fixing part 3 in this embodiment easier to mass-produce, thus improving economic efficiency.
[0059] However, in some cases, the two limiting bottom surfaces 300 may not need to be strictly perpendicular. The included angle between the two limiting bottom surfaces 300, or the rotation range of the support 2, needs to be set according to factors such as the installation environment or the structure of the railing, so that the photovoltaic power generation component can adapt to various situations.
[0060] Optionally, the first docking end 31 is also provided with a damping structure adapted to the rotating shaft 32, so that the photovoltaic panel 1 can be rotated to a certain position and hovered, making the operation of the component more diversified.
[0061] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the end of the support member 2 away from the first fixing member 3 is provided with a detachable connection structure 60, which allows the support member 2 to be quickly and easily connected to the frame of the photovoltaic panel 1 after being rotated to the preset position, and also provides the support member 2 with the possibility of temporary storage.
[0062] The detachable connection structure 60 is typically a simple and effective tool, such as ordinary cable ties or ropes. When temporary storage is required, the support member 2 can be quickly secured to the frame of the photovoltaic panel 1 using these cable ties. To facilitate this quick storage design, corresponding mating holes are provided on the frame of the photovoltaic panel 1 to ensure that the cable ties can pass through securely and be tightly fastened, thereby preventing the support member 2 from shaking or shifting in the stored state. For example, during transportation, the support member 2 should be stored properly to prevent it from shaking and causing damage.
[0063] Conversely, when the support 2 needs to be removed from the frame of the photovoltaic panel 1, it can be easily done because it is a detachable connection structure 60. For example, the cable ties or ropes can be cut with scissors or other cutting tools. At this time, even non-professionals can easily cut the cable ties, reducing the requirement for professional skills.
[0064] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the support member 2 has a recessed portion 21 at the end away from the first fixing member 3. The recessed portion 21 has an arc-shaped profile, so that when the support member 2 is connected to the railing, its recessed portion 21 can be adapted to the outer circumference shape of the railing to achieve partial fitting, thereby significantly enhancing the stability of the component.
[0065] In this embodiment, the adaptability design between the recess 21 and the railing not only ensures the stability of the connection between the support member 2 and the railing, but also effectively prevents the support member 2 from moving or falling off due to external factors such as wind or impact by providing additional mechanical engagement. Furthermore, this design simplifies the installation process; the recess 21 acts as a guide, allowing the support member 2 to be quickly and accurately positioned on the railing without further adjustments or additional auxiliary fixing measures.
[0066] It should be noted that this can be used as a reference. Figure 8 The support member 2 is connected to the crossbeam of the railing, but in some cases it can also be connected to the longitudinal beam of the railing. This case is not shown in the attached figure, but it can be understood that the specific setting of this part depends on the installation requirements. At the same time, the orientation and contour of the recess 21 can be adjusted according to the specific shape of the railing to ensure that the end of the support member 2 can fit tightly against the railing.
[0067] Based on the above, optionally, the photovoltaic power generation component can also have multiple support members 2, which are respectively connected to the horizontal beams and vertical beams of the railing. By connecting and fixing with different parts of the railing, the stability of the photovoltaic power generation component is enhanced, and the swaying or movement caused by wind or other external factors is reduced more effectively.
[0068] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the support member 2 is designed as a tubular structure with a hollow cavity 220 inside. While maintaining the strength of the support member 2, it can also reduce the weight and improve the material utilization efficiency. At the same time, the hollow cavity 220 allows the support member 2 to have more space inside, which can be used to thread wires or as a channel for other components, increasing the flexibility of the structure.
[0069] Furthermore, the connection structure 20 includes a first through hole 201, a second through hole 202, and a flexible fastener 203 (see...). Figure 6The first through hole 201 and the second through hole 202 are both provided on the support member 2 and are connected to the hollow cavity 220, thereby providing a channel for the flexible fastener 203 to pass through.
[0070] Specifically, the openings of the first through hole 201 and the second through hole 202 are located on both sides of the recess 21, so that the flexible fastener 203 can pass through the two through holes at the same time, and after wrapping around the outer periphery of the railing, firmly fix the support 2 to the railing.
[0071] Optionally, the flexible fastener 203 can be a stainless steel cable tie. Stainless steel cable ties allow for detachable connections and offer superior performance in terms of high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance, making them suitable for outdoor environments. By wrapping and securing the stainless steel cable tie, the support member 2 can be firmly bound to the railing. Furthermore, the lighter weight of the stainless steel cable tie contributes to the overall weight reduction of the component. In some cases, the flexible fastener 203 can also be a fixing rope, rubber flexible cable ties, or similar components, which also provide a degree of flexibility.
[0072] In contrast, in other embodiments, a mounting clamp (not shown in the figures) can also be provided at the end of the support member 2 away from the first fixing member 3. The mounting clamp is used for quick installation and removal, so that the support member 2 can be connected to the railing through the mounting clamp, which can improve installation efficiency and reduce the burden of manual installation.
[0073] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the photovoltaic power generation component also includes at least one second fixing member 4, which is disposed on the frame of the photovoltaic panel 1. It can work together with the first fixing member 3, the support member 2, and other components to install the photovoltaic panel 1 onto the railing. Moreover, when multiple second fixing members 4 are provided, the frame of the photovoltaic panel 1 can generate multiple fixing points to connect with the railing, thereby improving the stability of the component.
[0074] In this embodiment, the connection method of the second fixing member 4 relative to the railing is not specifically limited. The second fixing member 4 may fix the frame of the photovoltaic panel 1 to the railing in the form of a buckle. For example, it may simultaneously buckle the frame of the photovoltaic panel 1 and the railing, or it may fix the frame of the photovoltaic panel 1 and the railing by passing a fixing rope through the frame of the photovoltaic panel 1 and the railing and then locking the fixing rope. There are many such connection methods, which will not be described in detail here.
[0075] In some cases, the second fixing member 4 can also be an adjustable connection. For example, the second fixing member 4 has a telescopic structure that can adjust the length. In this case, it can be combined with the rotatable setting of the support member 2 mentioned above to realize different installation angles of the photovoltaic panel 1 or to cope with changes in the external environment.
[0076] Furthermore, a second fastener 4 is disposed on the top edge of the photovoltaic panel 1, thereby enabling the top of the photovoltaic panel 1 to be connected to the railing. When multiple second fasteners 4 are present, these second fasteners 4 are arranged at certain intervals to ensure that the top edge of the photovoltaic panel 1 can bear the pressure evenly during installation, avoiding stress concentration caused by uneven distribution of fixing points.
[0077] Optionally, the second fixing component 4 is a clamp, which enables a detachable connection between the photovoltaic power generation component and the railing. Specifically, a corresponding through hole is provided on the top frame of the photovoltaic panel 1, the clamp passes through the through hole and forms a ring around the outer perimeter of the railing, and the operator then uses bolts and nuts to connect the two ends of the clamp through the reserved holes on the clamp, tightening the bolts as needed until the clamp is tight enough to ensure that the photovoltaic panel 1 is stably fixed to the railing. On the other hand, depending on the on-site construction conditions and other factors, the second fixing component 4 can also use common connecting components such as cable ties and nylon ropes.
[0078] Based on the above embodiments, please refer to the appendix. Figure 1 The number of support members 2 is two, but in practice there can be an even number, as long as they are evenly distributed on the two side frames of the photovoltaic panel 1. This ensures that the photovoltaic panel 1 is subjected to balanced force on both sides during installation, preventing bending or deformation caused by uneven force.
[0079] Understandably, the photovoltaic panel 1 is fixed to the railing on both sides by the support member 2 and the connecting structure 20 thereon, providing lateral support. At the same time, it can be combined with the second fixing member 4 mentioned above to effectively fix both sides and the top of the photovoltaic panel 1.
[0080] It should also be noted that in some cases, the first fixing member 3 is located in the lower middle part of the frame of the photovoltaic panel 1, which provides better wind protection compared to its location in the upper middle part. Understandably, placing the first fixing member 3 in the lower middle part of the frame of the photovoltaic panel 1 helps to lower the center of gravity of the entire photovoltaic system, thereby reducing swaying and displacement caused by wind and enhancing the wind resistance stability of the photovoltaic panel 1.
[0081] Based on the above, in actual use, some key components of this photovoltaic power generation component can be pre-installed on the frame of the photovoltaic panel 1 to save on-site installation time. For example, the first fixing member 3 is pre-installed on the frame of the photovoltaic panel 1. One end of the support member 2 is connected to the first fixing member 3, and the other end is connected to the frame of the photovoltaic panel 1 through a detachable connection structure 60 (such as the ordinary, cuttable cable tie mentioned above) for temporary storage to prevent collisions during transportation. At this time, the second fixing member 4 (such as the clamp mentioned above) and the connection structure 20 on the support member 2 (such as the stainless steel cable tie mentioned above) can be pre-installed into the component depending on the specific situation. For example, if there is sufficient installation time, they can be stored separately and installed on-site. Of course, they can also be pre-installed, so that the photovoltaic power generation component is more complete during actual installation and can be directly put into use in the installation scenario.
[0082] In one embodiment, refer to the appendix to the specification. Figure 8 According to another aspect of this application, this application further provides a balcony photovoltaic device, including the aforementioned photovoltaic power generation components and railing body 5. By installing photovoltaic power generation components on the balcony railing, the balcony space is fully utilized, which is beneficial for the development of cities or countries with insufficient power supply.
[0083] Specifically, in this embodiment, the railing body 5 is installed on the balcony. There may be only one or multiple railing bodies. The railing body 5 includes a bottom crossbeam 51 and a top crossbeam 52. The photovoltaic panel 1 in the photovoltaic power generation component is connected to both the bottom crossbeam 51 and the top crossbeam 52.
[0084] When multiple railing bodies 5 are installed, multiple photovoltaic power generation components can also be installed simultaneously. At the same time, two or more photovoltaic power generation components can be installed on one railing body 5, depending on the power generation demand and the relative dimensions of the railing body 5 and the photovoltaic power generation components.
[0085] Meanwhile, the support component 2 in the photovoltaic power generation component can rotate relative to the photovoltaic panel 1, allowing the photovoltaic power generation component to adapt to balcony railings of different shapes and sizes, providing greater installation flexibility. Users can adjust the angle of the photovoltaic panel 1 according to the actual situation of the balcony to obtain the best energy output.
[0086] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be freely combined as needed. The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of this application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
