Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic module installation technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic module positioning tool. Background Technology

[0002] When installing photovoltaic (PV) modules, it is essential to first ensure uniform spacing between the modules to guarantee accurate positioning. Then, use clips to secure the modules to the bracket. Traditionally, PV module positioning is achieved through ruler measurement, which is labor-intensive. Existing technology, such as the invention patent CN105234886B (Solar PV Module Installation Positioning Tool and Method), discloses a positioning tool that can quickly determine the installation position of PV modules, ensuring stable spacing and accurate positioning. However, this method requires multiple positioning tools, which are placed only on the edge of the PV module surface. Since PV modules are often installed at an angle, the positioning tools are prone to falling off. Furthermore, after the clips secure the PV modules, some of the spacers in the positioning tools are clamped between the modules, making them difficult to remove. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems in the prior art mentioned above and to provide a photovoltaic module positioning tool.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A photovoltaic module positioning tool includes a carrier, a suction cup, and a spacer; the suction cup and the spacer are connected to the same side of the carrier; the suction cup is adsorbed onto the surface of the photovoltaic module; the spacer extends into the gap between adjacent photovoltaic modules, and rolling elements that contact adjacent photovoltaic modules are provided on both sides of the spacer.

[0006] Furthermore, a handle is connected to one side of the carrier.

[0007] Furthermore, the number of suction cups is at least three.

[0008] Furthermore, the distance between the rolling element and the carrier is greater than the distance between any part of the suction cup and the carrier.

[0009] Furthermore, the rolling element is rotatably connected to the spacer, and the rolling element protrudes from the side of the spacer; at least three rolling elements are arranged on the same side of the spacer.

[0010] Furthermore, a handle is attached to the edge of the suction cup.

[0011] Furthermore, the carrier has an internally threaded cylinder on its side, and the suction cup includes a stud that is threadedly connected to the internally threaded cylinder.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This invention uses a suction cup to allow the positioning tool to adhere to the edge surface of the photovoltaic module, making it less likely to fall off during the movement of the photovoltaic module; the spacer frame contacts the frame of the photovoltaic module through a rolling element, making it easier to remove the positioning tool after the photovoltaic module is fixed.

For example, the object "provided with" can be a part of the main body, or it can be separately arranged from the main body and connected to it. This connection can be detachable or non-detachable. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0025] Specific embodiments of the photovoltaic module positioning tool provided by this utility model:

[0026] Please see Figure 1-6 A photovoltaic module positioning tool includes a carrier 1, a suction cup 2, and a spacer 3; the suction cup 2 and the spacer 3 are connected to the same side of the carrier 1; the suction cup 2 is adsorbed onto the glass surface of the photovoltaic module; the spacer 3 extends into the gap between adjacent photovoltaic modules, and the spacer 3 has rolling elements 4 on both sides that contact the adjacent photovoltaic modules.

[0027] In this embodiment, the carrier 1 is a square plate structure, the suction cup 2 and the spacer 3 are located on the lower side of the carrier 1, and the spacer 3 is located on the lower side of one end of the carrier 1.

[0028] The number of suction cups 2 is at least three, and the three suction cups 2 should be arranged in a triangle to ensure the stability of the carrier 1, making the carrier 1 as parallel as possible to the surface of the photovoltaic module and reducing the shaking of the carrier 1. In this embodiment, the number of suction cups 2 is four, and the four suction cups 2 are arranged in a rectangle, with any three suction cups 2 arranged in a triangle. The four suction cups 2 can make the carrier 1 stably attached to the photovoltaic module. During the installation of the photovoltaic module, conventional movement, flipping and vibration will not cause the positioning tool to fall off or shift, which can ensure the accurate position of the positioning tool, and thus facilitate accurate subsequent positioning and installation.

[0029] A handle 5 is connected to one side of the carrier 1. In this embodiment, the handle 5 is in the shape of an inverted U-shaped rod and is connected to the upper middle part of the carrier 1 to facilitate the movement of the carrier 1.

[0030] The suction cup 2 has a handle 201 attached to its edge. By pulling the edge of the suction cup 2 with the handle 201, air can be introduced into the suction cup 2, easily releasing the suction state of the suction cup 2, making it easy to remove the positioning tool.

[0031] In this embodiment, the lower side of the carrier 1 is provided with four internally threaded cylinders 6, and the suction cup 2 includes a stud 202 that is threadedly connected to the internally threaded cylinder 6. The suction cup 2 with the stud 202 is a common product on the market. This type of suction cup 2 is easy to replace, that is, it can be quickly replaced after the soft and vulnerable parts of the suction cup 2 are damaged.

[0032] The rolling element 4 is rotatably connected to the spacer 3, and the rolling element 4 protrudes from the side of the spacer 3. In this embodiment, the rolling element 4 is a roller. At least three rolling elements 4 need to be set on the same side of the spacer 3. In this embodiment, a total of eight rolling elements 4 are installed on the spacer 3, with four rolling elements 4 on each side. The rolling elements 4 on both sides of the spacer 3 are corresponding and arranged in a rectangular shape.

[0033] See Figure 5 The distance between any rolling element 4 and the carrier 1 is greater than the distance between any part of the suction cup 2 and the carrier 1; thus, when the suction cup 2 is attached to the surface of the photovoltaic module, the rolling element 4 can extend between the frames of adjacent photovoltaic modules and contact the frame of the photovoltaic module.

[0034] Installation Process: Place positioning tools along the edge of the uninstalled photovoltaic (PV) module, two to three on one side. During placement, suction cup 2 adheres to the glass surface of the PV module, ensuring that the rolling element 4 on one side of the spacer 3 is attached to the outer edge of the PV module frame. Move the PV module to the installation position, ensuring it is flush against the installed PV module, with the spacer 3 and its rolling element 4 positioned between adjacent PV modules. Secure the PV module using clips, then remove the positioning tools. To remove them, use handle 201 to release the suction cup 2, and lift the carrier 1 and spacer 3 using the lifting handle 5. Since the spacer 3 is in contact with the PV module frame through the rolling element 4, it can be easily lifted from between adjacent PV modules.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still make modifications to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments without creative effort, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
