Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic technology, and in particular to a U-shaped connector for photovoltaic modules. Background Technology

[0002] Solar energy is an inexhaustible and environmentally friendly energy source. Photovoltaic modules are devices that convert light energy into electrical energy. Solar photovoltaic modules are gradually entering social life. When installing photovoltaic modules, the photovoltaic panels are first fixed in the frame, and then the photovoltaic panels are installed on the square pole, thus realizing the installation of photovoltaic modules.

[0003] Currently, when installing photovoltaic modules, multiple mounting slots need to be made on the square pole, and clamps or bolts are used to connect them to the square pole. Making multiple mounting slots on the square pole may reduce the strength of the square pole. In addition, when a few U-shaped connectors are used for installation, two clamps and two bolts are required to achieve the installation, resulting in lower installation accuracy and potentially affecting the installation efficiency of photovoltaic modules. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a U-shaped connection pair for photovoltaic modules that can overcome or at least partially solve the above problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A U-shaped connector for photovoltaic modules includes: a connector frame; a connector ear symmetrically fixed to both sides of the connector frame; a pressure plate disposed on the connector ear and used to press the frame; a slot disposed within the connector frame; and a pressing bolt threaded to the lower end of the connector frame and used to press the square rod.

[0007] Preferably, the pressure plate is rotatably mounted on the connecting ear.

[0008] To further improve the fixing effect of the pressure plates on the frame, when both pressure plates are rotated to one end and in contact with the photovoltaic frame, the two pressure plates come into contact with each other.

[0009] To further increase the bearing area of ​​the square rod, a pressing plate for pressing the square rod is slidably disposed in the slot, and one end of the pressing bolt is rotatably connected to the pressing plate.

[0010] To ensure even pressure distribution on the pressing plate, a rubber pad is further provided between the pressing plate and the square rod.

[0011] To further improve the stability of the photovoltaic panel, a fixing plate is fixedly connected between two adjacent connecting frames.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a U-shaped connector for photovoltaic modules, which has the following advantages:

[0013] 1. This U-shaped connector for photovoltaic modules works by attaching the connector frame to the square rod, ensuring one side of the connector frame fits tightly against the rod. Then, the pressure plate on the connector frame is rotated towards the frame until it can no longer rotate. At this point, one side of the pressure plate is perpendicular to the edge of the frame. Finally, the clamping bolt is rotated, pressing against the square rod. The clamping bolt provides downward pressure to the connector frame, causing the pressure plate to press down on the frame, thus fixing the frame to the square rod. This effectively avoids the need for holes in the square rod, which would affect its strength. Furthermore, fixing is achieved by rotating only one clamping bolt, effectively improving the installation efficiency of the photovoltaic panels.

[0014] 2. The U-shaped connector used for photovoltaic modules uses a pressing bolt to drive a pressing plate to press the square rod, thereby effectively increasing the force-bearing area of ​​the square rod and effectively preventing the square rod from deforming due to the pressing bolt.

[0015] 3. The U-shaped connector for photovoltaic modules consists of two connectors connected by a fixing plate for use between two adjacent photovoltaic panels, and a single connector for the edge photovoltaic panel, thereby forming multiple photovoltaic panels into a whole and effectively improving the stability of the photovoltaic panel.

[0016] The parts of this device not described herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technology. This utility model effectively avoids the impact of drilling holes in the square rod on the strength of the square rod, and only requires rotating a single compression bolt to achieve fixation, effectively improving the installation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel and effectively improving the stability of the photovoltaic panel.

[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 of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Example 1: Refer to Figures 1-4 A U-shaped connector for photovoltaic modules includes: a connector frame 1, and further includes: connector ears 101, symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the connector frame 1; a pressure plate 102, disposed on the connector ears 101, and the pressure plate 102 is used to press the frame 202; a slot 103, disposed inside the connector frame 1; and a pressing bolt 105, threadedly connected to the lower end of the connector frame 1, and the pressing bolt 105 is used to press the square rod 203.

[0024] The tablet press 102 is rotatably mounted on the connecting ear 101.

[0025] When both pressure plates 102 are rotated to one end and contact the photovoltaic frame 201, the two pressure plates 102 come into contact.

[0026] During the installation of photovoltaic panel 2, the workers place the photovoltaic panel 2, which is equipped with photovoltaic frame 201 and frame 202, on the square pole 203. The workers who are fixing the photovoltaic panel 2 clamp the connecting frame 1 onto the square pole 203, so that one side of the connecting frame 1 is tightly fitted to the square pole 203. Then, they rotate the pressure plate 102 on the connecting frame 1, so that the pressure plate 102 rotates towards the frame 202 until it can no longer rotate. At this time, one side of the pressure plate 102 is perpendicular to the edge of the frame 202. Finally, they rotate the clamping bolt 105, so that the clamping bolt 105 abuts against the square pole 203. At this time, the clamping bolt 105 provides downward pressure to the connecting frame 1, so that the pressure plate 102 presses down on the frame 202, and fixes the frame 202 to the square pole 203. This effectively avoids the impact of drilling holes in the square pole 203 on the strength of the square pole 203. At the same time, fixing is achieved by only rotating one clamping bolt 105, which effectively improves the installation efficiency of photovoltaic panel 2.

[0027] Example 2: Refer to Figures 1-4 The U-shaped connector for photovoltaic modules is basically the same as in Example 1. Further, a pressing plate 104 for pressing the square rod 203 is slidably arranged in the slot 103, and one end of the pressing bolt 105 is rotatably connected to the pressing plate 104.

[0028] When the compression bolt 105 is rotated, the compression bolt 105 drives the compression plate 104 to compress the square rod 203, thereby effectively increasing the force-bearing area of ​​the square rod 203 and effectively preventing the square rod 203 from being deformed by the compression bolt 105.

[0029] A rubber pad 107 is provided between the tablet 102 and the square rod 203.

[0030] The rubber pad 107 provides a certain support force to the tablet 102, thereby effectively preventing the tablet 102 from deforming.

[0031] A fixing plate 106 is fixedly connected between two adjacent connecting frames 1.

[0032] Two connecting frames 1 are combined with a fixing plate 106 for use between two adjacent photovoltaic panels 2, and a single connecting frame 1 is used for the edge photovoltaic panel 2, thereby forming multiple photovoltaic panels 2 into a whole, effectively improving the stability of the photovoltaic panel 2.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
