Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic module fixing technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic module fixing device suitable for flexible brackets. Background Technology
[0002] Flexible photovoltaic modules are a new type of photovoltaic product, characterized by their thinness and flexibility. They are made of materials with good flexibility and elasticity, such as amorphous silicon or organic photovoltaic materials, and form solar cell modules by depositing multiple layers of materials on a flexible substrate through thin-film solar cell technology.
[0003] However, flexible photovoltaic (PV) modules are typically fixed to steel cables on flexible support structures using fixing components. For example, this involves first securing the steel cable with clamps, and then fixing the PV module to a mounting bracket on the clamp. However, when using clamps to secure the steel cable, the upper and lower clamps do not align automatically, requiring manual alignment and tightening of the fixing bolts. This is particularly time-consuming and labor-intensive when operating alone. Furthermore, after installation, the clamps lack adequate protective structures, making their connections susceptible to loosening due to external influences. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a photovoltaic module fixing device suitable for flexible brackets, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A photovoltaic module fixing device suitable for flexible brackets includes a first main cable and a second main cable. Two mounting devices are fixedly installed on the outer surfaces of the first and second main cables. Protective devices are installed on the left and right ends of the four mounting devices. Flexible photovoltaic modules are fixedly installed on the upper ends of the four mounting devices.
[0007] Preferably, the installation device includes a first clamp and a second clamp. The first clamp has a mounting base fixedly installed on its upper end and two slots on its lower end. The second clamp has several protrusions fixedly installed on its upper middle part and locking blocks fixedly installed on its upper left and upper right parts. The second clamp is installed on the lower end of the first clamp through the locking blocks. The first clamp and the second clamp both have two fixing bolts installed on their upper left and upper right parts. The first clamp and the second clamp are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the first main cable. Place the No. 2 clamp at the lower end of the No. 1 main cable, and at this time, the protrusion on the No. 2 clamp will be inserted into the No. 1 main cable. Then, align the No. 1 clamp with the locking block on the No. 2 clamp through its slot and push it in, so that the No. 1 clamp is locked at the upper end of the No. 2 clamp. At this time, the workers no longer need to hold the clamps. They only need to install the fixing bolts on the No. 1 clamp and the No. 2 clamp to fix them, which facilitates the quick connection and installation of the clamps.
[0008] Preferably, the protective device includes a first protective frame and a second protective frame. Two No. 1 screws are installed on the upper part of each corresponding end of the first and second protective frames. The first and second protective frames are respectively fixed to the left and right ends of the mounting base using the No. 1 screws. The first and second protective frames are fixed to the left and right ends of the mounting base using the No. 1 screws, thereby protecting the connection between the first and second clamps and their fixing bolts, preventing the clamps from easily loosening when scratched by external objects.
[0009] Preferably, two No. 2 screws are installed on the upper left and upper right parts of the flexible photovoltaic module, and the flexible photovoltaic module is fixedly installed on the upper part of the four mounting devices by the No. 2 screws.
[0010] Preferably, a plurality of the protrusions are arranged in a rectangular array on the second clamp, and the protrusions are conical in shape.
[0011] Preferably, the card block and the card slot are positioned in a front-to-back correspondence and are both T-shaped.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. When installing flexible photovoltaic modules on main cables No. 1 and No. 2, first place the No. 2 clamp on the installation device at the lower end of main cable No. 1. At this time, the protrusion on the No. 2 clamp will be inserted into main cable No. 1 to initially tighten the No. 2 clamp. Then, align the No. 1 clamp with the locking block on the No. 2 clamp through its slot and push it in, so that the No. 1 clamp is locked at the upper end of the No. 2 clamp. At this time, the workers no longer need to hold the clamps. They only need to install the fixing bolts on the No. 1 clamp and the No. 2 clamp for fixation. This facilitates the quick connection and installation of the clamps and improves the installation efficiency of the device. Similarly, the clamps are installed on the outer surface of main cable No. 2 in the same way. After the clamps are installed, the flexible photovoltaic modules are fixed to the mounting base by the No. 2 screws on them to complete the installation of the flexible photovoltaic modules.
[0014] 2. After the No. 1 clamp and the No. 2 clamp are installed, fix the No. 1 protective frame and the No. 2 protective frame on the protective device to the left and right ends of the mounting base respectively with the No. 1 screw on them. This will protect the connection between the No. 1 clamp and the No. 2 clamp and the fixing bolts thereon, and prevent the clamp from loosening when it is scratched by external objects.

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a photovoltaic module fixing device suitable for flexible brackets includes a first main cable 1 and a second main cable 5.

Protective devices 3 are installed on the left and right ends of the four mounting devices 2. Flexible photovoltaic modules 4 are fixedly installed on the upper ends of the four mounting devices 2.
[0024] The mounting device 2 includes a first clamp 20 and a second clamp 21. The first clamp 20 has a mounting base 22 fixedly installed on its upper end and two slots 24 on its lower end. The second clamp 21 has several protrusions 26 fixedly installed on its upper middle part. The second clamp 21 has locking blocks 25 fixedly installed on its upper left and upper right parts. The second clamp 21 is installed on the lower end of the first clamp 20 through the locking blocks 25. The first clamp 20 and the second clamp 21 are both installed with two fixing bolts 23 on their upper left and upper right parts. The first clamp 20 and the second clamp 21 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the first main cable 1. The several protrusions 26 are distributed in a rectangular array on the second clamp 21, and the protrusions 26 are conical in shape. The locking blocks 25 are positioned in a front-to-back correspondence with the slots 24, and both are T-shaped. Place the No. 2 clamp 21 at the lower end of the No. 1 main cable 1, and at this time, the protrusion 26 on the No. 2 clamp 21 is inserted into the No. 1 main cable 1. Then, align the No. 1 clamp 20 with the locking block 25 on the No. 2 clamp 21 through the locking groove 24 on it and push it in, so that the No. 1 clamp 20 is locked at the upper end of the No. 2 clamp 21. At this time, the workers no longer need to hold the clamps. They only need to install the fixing bolts 23 on the No. 1 clamp 20 and the No. 2 clamp 21 for fixation, which facilitates the quick docking and installation of the clamps.
[0025] The protective device 3 includes a first protective frame 30 and a second protective frame 31. Two screws 32 are installed on the upper part of one end of each of the first and second protective frames 30 and 31, respectively. The first and second protective frames 30 and 31 are fixed to the left and right ends of the mounting base 22 by the screws 32. Both the first and second protective frames 30 and 31 are fixed to the left and right ends of the mounting base 22 by the screws 32, thus protecting the connection between the first and second clamps 20 and the fixing bolts 23, preventing the clamps from loosening when scratched by external objects.
[0026] Two No. 2 screws 40 are installed on the upper left and upper right sides of the flexible photovoltaic module 4. The flexible photovoltaic module 4 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the four mounting devices 2 by the No. 2 screws 40.
[0027] It should be noted that this utility model is a photovoltaic module fixing device suitable for flexible brackets. During installation, the two ends of the main cable are first anchored to a rigid foundation, such as a pile foundation or frame, and high-strength connecting accessories, such as anchors, are used to ensure a firm connection between the two ends of the main cable, thus completing the installation and fixing of the main cable. After the first main cable 1 and the second main cable 5 are fixed, the second clamp 21 on the installation device 2 is placed at the lower end of the first main cable 1, and at this time, the protrusion 26 on the second clamp 21 is inserted into the first main cable 1 to initially tighten the second clamp 21. Then, the first clamp 20 is aligned with the locking block 25 on the second clamp 21 through its locking groove 24 and pushed in, so that the first clamp 20 is locked at the upper end of the second clamp 21. Workers no longer need to hold the clamps; they only need to install the fixing bolts 23 on clamp 20 and clamp 21 to secure them, thus facilitating quick connection and installation of the clamps and improving the installation efficiency of the device. Similarly, clamps are installed on the outer surface of the second main cable 5 in the same way. After the clamps are installed, the flexible photovoltaic module 4 is fixed to the mounting base 22 by the screws 40 on it, thus completing the installation of the flexible photovoltaic module. Moreover, the first protective frame 30 and the second protective frame 31 on the protective device 3 are fixed to the left and right ends of the mounting base 22 by the screws 32 on them, respectively, thus protecting the connection between clamp 20 and clamp 21 and the fixing bolts 23 on them, preventing the clamps from loosening when scratched by external objects.
