Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of photovoltaic panel technology, and in particular relates to a waterproof photovoltaic panel bracket. Background Technology

[0002] Solar energy technology has become increasingly widespread in recent years. To ensure photovoltaic (PV) modules receive more sunlight, they are typically mounted on support structures. However, PV panels are constantly exposed to natural conditions during power generation, especially during cloudy or rainy weather, making them susceptible to corrosion. Existing waterproofing measures for PV support structures are relatively simple and ineffective. One common method, applying waterproof sealant, is prone to aging, has a short lifespan, and is difficult to apply, making it hard to control the overall quality. Another commonly used method, waterproof strips, while cheaper, is prone to cracking and peeling after exposure to sunlight, affecting its waterproofing performance. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a waterproof photovoltaic panel bracket, which effectively solves the problem of poor waterproof performance.

[0004] The technical solution to the technical problem is as follows: multiple horizontal beams are evenly distributed, multiple vertical beams are evenly fixed between two adjacent horizontal beams, a first water guide channel is provided in the middle of the horizontal beams, a second water guide channel is provided in the vertical beams, two adjacent first water guide channels are connected through the second water guide channel, multiple photovoltaic panels are provided above the horizontal beams, a card plate inserted into the second water guide channel is fixed on the photovoltaic panel, multiple T-shaped blocks are evenly fixed in the first water guide channel, the T-shaped blocks can support the ends of the photovoltaic panels, a first mounting hole is provided at the top of each T-shaped block, a screw is threaded into the first mounting hole, an anti-slip washer is fixed on the screw, and the washer is in contact with the upper surface of the photovoltaic panel.

[0005] Preferably, the crossbeam is fixed with a base plate on both the front and rear sides, and the base plate is provided with multiple second mounting holes.

[0006] Preferably, the first water guide channel is a V-shaped channel and the second water guide channel is a concave channel.

[0007] This invention offers the following advantages over traditional equipment: 1) It features a clever structure, eliminating the need for drilling holes in the photovoltaic panel surface, ensuring its integrity and preventing damage. The crossbeams and longitudinal beams provide overall support for the photovoltaic panel, ensuring its stability. 2) Screws and washers lock the front and rear sides of the photovoltaic panel, while the clamping plate secures it within the second water channel, fixing the left and right sides of the panel for easy installation. 3) Multiple T-shaped blocks are evenly distributed within the first water channel, providing excellent ventilation. This not only ensures normal heat dissipation from the photovoltaic panel but also allows water accumulated on the front and rear sides to drain through the gaps between adjacent T-shaped blocks into the first water channel. Water on the left and right sides of the photovoltaic panel flows into the second water channel. The first and second water channels are interconnected, enabling rapid drainage of water around the photovoltaic panel. This design is cost-effective, provides excellent drainage, and achieves a good waterproofing effect. Attached Figure Description

[0012] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0013] Depend on Figures 1 to 3 A waterproof photovoltaic panel support is provided, comprising a plurality of evenly distributed crossbeams 1, a plurality of longitudinal beams 2 evenly fixed between two adjacent crossbeams 1, a first water guide groove 3 provided in the middle of the crossbeams 1, a second water guide groove 4 provided in the longitudinal beams 2, two adjacent first water guide grooves 3 being connected through the second water guide groove 4, a plurality of photovoltaic panels 5 being provided above the crossbeams 1, a clamping plate 6 being fixed on the photovoltaic panel 5 and inserted into the second water guide groove 4, a plurality of T-shaped blocks 7 being evenly fixed in the first water guide groove 3, the T-shaped blocks 7 being able to support the ends of the photovoltaic panels 5, a first mounting hole 8 being provided at the upper end of each T-shaped block 7, a screw 9 being threaded into the first mounting hole 8, and an anti-slip pad 10 being fixed on the screw 9, the pad 10 being in contact with the upper surface of the photovoltaic panel 5.

[0014] To facilitate fixing the position of the crossbeam 1, a base plate is fixed on both the front and rear sides of the crossbeam 1, and the base plate is provided with a plurality of second mounting holes 11.

[0015] To facilitate drainage from the first water guide channel 3, the first water guide channel 3 is a V-shaped channel, and the second water guide channel 4 is a concave channel.

[0016] In use, the base plate of this utility model is provided with multiple second mounting holes 11. By inserting bolts into the second mounting holes 11, the base plate is fixed on a suitable base to ensure the stability and safety of the crossbeam 1. First, the clamping plate 6 of the photovoltaic panel 5 is inserted into the second water guide groove 4 to achieve the initial positioning effect of the photovoltaic panel 5. In the left and right direction, the clamping plates 6 of two adjacent photovoltaic panels 5 can be inserted into the same second water guide groove 4, so that the clamping plates 6 of two adjacent photovoltaic panels 5 are clamped together in the second water guide groove 4, further ensuring the fixing effect of the left and right sides of the photovoltaic panel 5. In the front and back direction, the T-shaped block 7 can support one end of the photovoltaic panel 5. Two adjacent photovoltaic panels 5 are simultaneously located on multiple T-shaped blocks 7. The screw 9 is tightened in the first mounting hole 8. The screw 9 simultaneously tightens the washer 10 on the upper surface of the two adjacent photovoltaic panels 5. The washer 10 has a textured surface and has an anti-slip effect. One washer 10 can simultaneously press two adjacent photovoltaic panels 5, which is low in cost and easy to operate.

[0017] On the side of the photovoltaic panel 5, the second water guide channel 4 can also limit the position of a single card plate 6. The screw 9 and the washer 10 can also lock and position a single photovoltaic panel 5, ensuring the overall fixation of multiple photovoltaic panels 5. When it rains, rainwater falls on the photovoltaic panel 5. Rainwater in the left and right directions can flow into the second water guide channel 4, and rainwater in the front and back directions can flow into the first water guide channel 3. The first water guide channel 3 is a V-shaped channel with a T-shaped block 7 that is narrow at the bottom and wide at the top. As a result, the T-shaped block 7 occupies little space in the V-shaped channel, ensuring the drainage effect of the V-shaped channel. The second water guide channel 4 is connected to the first water guide channel 3, and all the rainwater can be collected in the first water guide channel 3 and discharged to a suitable position through the first water guide channel 3, ensuring that there is no water accumulation in the photovoltaic panel 5, achieving a good waterproof and drainage effect, and extending the service life of the photovoltaic panel 5. In addition, the crossbeam 1 and the longitudinal beam 2 can support the lower surface of the photovoltaic panel 5, ensuring the overall stability of the photovoltaic panel 5.

[0018] This embodiment does not impose any limitation on the shape, material, structure, etc. of this utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model shall fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
