Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic support technology, specifically to a pressure block for installing photovoltaic modules. Background Technology

[0002] Without the installation of pressure blocks, photovoltaic modules will be damaged by wind loads or have their frames torn. Installing pressure blocks can effectively hold the modules down, greatly increasing their wind load capacity and ensuring they are securely fixed to the support structure.

[0003] Traditional pressure blocks are made of aluminum alloy, which has the following shortcomings in practical use:

[0004] Aluminum alloy is expensive and used in large quantities, resulting in a high overall cost. Aluminum alloy lacks toughness and is easily torn under stress, especially at the corners of the clamping blocks. Aluminum alloy's lack of toughness also makes it prone to wear and tear on the photovoltaic module frame under wind load vibration, causing damage to the module. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pressure block for installing photovoltaic modules, which solves one or more technical problems in the prior art.

[0006] The present invention adopts the following technical solution: a pressure block for installing photovoltaic modules, including a U-shaped main board, the upper side of which has an upper pressure plate extending horizontally to both sides; corner ribs are provided at the corners of the U-shaped main board and at the connection between the U-shaped main board and the upper pressure plate; planar ribs are provided on the side walls of the U-shaped main board and the upper pressure plate.

[0007] Furthermore, in use, the U-shaped main board is placed between two photovoltaic modules, and the upper pressure plates on both sides of the U-shaped main board press against the photovoltaic modules on the corresponding sides respectively;

[0008] The planar ribs on the sidewalls and upper pressure plate of the U-shaped main board protrude toward the photovoltaic module and abut against the ends and upper surface of the photovoltaic module respectively;

[0009] The corner rib at the connection between the U-shaped main board and the upper pressure plate protrudes towards the edge of the photovoltaic module.

[0010] The corner ribs at the corners of the U-shaped mainboard protrude towards the inside of the U-shaped mainboard.

[0011] The bottom of the U-shaped motherboard has a connection hole.

[0012] The corner rib is arc-shaped, and the planar rib is elongated.

[0013] The U-shaped main board and the upper pressure plate are integrally formed and are made of zinc-aluminum-magnesium alloy.

[0014] A mounting block for photovoltaic modules includes an L-shaped main board, with an upper pressure plate extending horizontally outward on the upper side of the vertical plate of the L-shaped main board, and a lower baffle extending downward on the side of the bottom plate of the L-shaped main board; corner ribs are provided at the corners of the L-shaped main board and at the connection points between the L-shaped main board and the upper pressure plate and the lower baffle respectively; planar ribs are provided on the vertical plate and the upper pressure plate of the U-shaped main board.

[0015] Furthermore, during use, the L-shaped main board is placed on the side of the photovoltaic module, and the upper pressure plate on the upper side of the L-shaped main board presses on the photovoltaic module;

[0016] The planar ribs on the vertical plate and upper pressure plate of the L-shaped main board protrude towards the photovoltaic module and abut against the end and upper surface of the photovoltaic module respectively;

[0017] The corner rib at the connection between the L-shaped main board and the upper pressure plate protrudes towards the edge of the photovoltaic module.

[0018] The corner ribs at the corners of the L-shaped motherboard protrude towards the inside of the L-shaped motherboard, and the corner ribs at the connection between the L-shaped motherboard and the lower baffle protrude towards the outside of the L-shaped motherboard.

[0019] The corner rib at the connection between the L-shaped main board and the lower baffle is L-shaped.

[0020] The base plate of the L-shaped motherboard has connection holes.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] The strength and toughness of the pressure block have been improved: By setting corner ribs at the corners and joints of the U-shaped and L-shaped main boards, the structural strength of the pressure block has been strengthened, especially at corners where stress is easily exerted, effectively preventing the pressure block from deforming or tearing after being subjected to stress; the setting of planar ribs also enhances the bending or deformation resistance of the pressure block's plane, further improving the stability and durability of the pressure block.

[0023] Improved contact between the pressure block and the photovoltaic module: The U-shaped and L-shaped main plates allow the pressure block to fit more tightly against the ends and top surface of the photovoltaic module, ensuring the stable fixation of the photovoltaic module; the raised design of the corner ribs and flat ribs not only enhances the strength of the pressure block, but also enables the pressure block to press down on the photovoltaic module more effectively, preventing it from shifting or being damaged under wind load.

[0024] With two different shapes of clamping blocks (U-shaped and L-shaped), they are suitable for photovoltaic module installation needs in different locations; this improves the flexibility and applicability of installation, enabling the clamping blocks to be used more widely in various photovoltaic module installation scenarios.

[0036] 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.

[0037] Example 1:

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this utility model provides a pressure block for mounting photovoltaic modules. The upper edge of the U-shaped main board 11 has upper pressure plates 101 extending horizontally to both sides; the U-shaped main board 11 and the upper pressure plates 101 are integrally formed by sheet metal or stamping, and both are made of zinc-aluminum-magnesium alloy. Corner ribs 103 are provided at the corners of the U-shaped main board 11 and at the connection points between the U-shaped main board 11 and the upper pressure plates 101; planar ribs 102 are provided on the side walls of the U-shaped main board 11 and on the upper pressure plates 101. The ribs can also be replaced by diagonal ribs or welded ribs to strengthen the structural strength.

[0039] When using, such as Figure 2 As shown, the clamping block provided in this embodiment is suitable for fixing photovoltaic modules to each other. The U-shaped main board 11 is placed between two photovoltaic modules 20, which are overlapped or fixed to the photovoltaic bracket. A connecting hole 104 is provided at the bottom of the U-shaped main board 11, and the U-shaped main board 11 is fixed to the photovoltaic bracket of the photovoltaic module through the connecting hole 104 and bolts. After the U-shaped main board 11 is fixed, the two sides of the U-shaped main board 11 abut against the end faces of the photovoltaic modules 20 on both sides, and the upper pressure plates 101 on both sides press against the upper surfaces of the photovoltaic modules 20 on both sides respectively.

[0040] The sidewalls of the U-shaped main plate 11 and the planar ribs 102 on the upper pressure plate 101 both protrude towards the photovoltaic module 20, corresponding to low pressure on the ends and upper surface of the photovoltaic module 20. This allows the pressure block to stably position and press the photovoltaic module 20, and improves the bending or deformation resistance of the pressure block's plane. The corner ribs 103 at the connection between the U-shaped main plate 11 and the upper pressure plate 101 protrude towards the edge of the photovoltaic module 20, and the corner ribs 103 at the corners of the U-shaped main plate 11 protrude towards the inner side of the U-shaped main plate 11, which is used to improve the strength of the corners of the pressure block and prevent deformation at the corners after the pressure block is subjected to force. In this embodiment, the corner ribs 103 are arc-shaped, and the planar ribs 102 are elongated holes, which can be formed by stamping.

[0041] Example 2:

[0042] Based on the above embodiment one, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the second embodiment, another type of photovoltaic module mounting block is provided, suitable for fixing the outer side of a photovoltaic module. It mainly includes an L-shaped main board 12, with an upper pressure plate 101 extending horizontally outward from the upper edge of the vertical plate of the L-shaped main board 12, and a lower baffle 121 extending downward from the side of the bottom plate of the L-shaped main board 12. Corner ribs 103 are provided at the corners of the L-shaped main board 12, at the connection between the vertical plate and the upper pressure plate 101, and at the connection between the bottom plate and the lower baffle 121. Planar ribs 102 are provided on the vertical plate and the upper pressure plate 101 of the U-shaped main board 11.

[0043] When using, such as Figure 2 As shown, the L-shaped main board 12 is placed on the side of the photovoltaic module 20, and the photovoltaic module 20 is overlapped or fixed on the connecting piece 30 on the photovoltaic bracket. The base plate of the L-shaped main board 12 has a connecting hole 104, and the base plate of the L-shaped main board 12 is fixed to the connecting piece 30 through the connecting hole 104 and bolts. After the L-shaped main board 12 is fixed, the vertical plate of the L-shaped main board 12 abuts against the end face of the photovoltaic module 20, and the upper pressure plate 101 on the upper side of the L-shaped main board 12 presses against the upper surface of the photovoltaic module 20.

[0044] The planar ribs 102 on the vertical plate and upper pressure plate 101 of the L-shaped main plate 12 all protrude towards the photovoltaic module 20, corresponding to low pressure on the ends and upper surface of the photovoltaic module 20, enabling the pressure block to stably position and press the photovoltaic module 20, and improving the bending or deformation resistance of the pressure block's plane. The corner ribs 103 at the connection between the L-shaped main plate 12 and the upper pressure plate 101 protrude towards the edge of the photovoltaic module 20, and the corner ribs 103 at the corners of the L-shaped main plate 12 protrude towards the inner side of the L-shaped main plate 12. The corner ribs 103 at the connection between the L-shaped main plate 12 and the lower baffle 121 protrude towards the outer side of the L-shaped main plate 12, and these corner ribs 103 are L-shaped. The arrangement of each corner rib 103 improves the strength of the pressure block's corners and prevents deformation at the corners after the pressure block is subjected to force.

[0045] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
