Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic equipment technology, specifically to a profile connection mechanism and its cable connection structure. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of new energy development, flexible photovoltaic systems are gradually maturing and being widely used.
[0003] In flexible bracket photovoltaic applications, due to the flexibility of the bracket, in order to prevent collisions and shaking between the module arrays, while maintaining the spacing between the flexible bracket arrays, especially the spacing between the upper and lower angled cables, it is necessary to improve the safety and stability of photovoltaic module operation. Therefore, windproof devices are installed between the flexible bracket arrays.
[0004] However, traditional flexible photovoltaic arrays use conical windproof devices to control their movement, which is complex and difficult to construct. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned background technology and provide a profile connection mechanism and its cable connection structure that are easy to install, simple in structure, low in cost, and can effectively enhance the stability of photovoltaic modules.
[0006] To achieve this objective, the profile connection mechanism designed in this utility model includes a profile connecting rod and profile cable connectors connected to both ends of the profile connecting rod; the profile cable connectors include a first profile cable fixing member for detachably fixing the profile connecting rod to a cable arranged along a first direction, and a second profile cable fixing member located above or below the profile connecting rod for detachably fixing the profile connecting rod to a cable arranged along a second direction; the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.
[0007] Furthermore, the first profile cable fixing member and the second profile cable fixing member are movably connected; when the cable arranged along the first direction or the cable arranged along the second direction sways, the relative position of the first profile cable fixing member and the second profile cable fixing member can be adjusted through the movable connection between the first profile cable fixing member and the second profile cable fixing member to ensure that the profile connecting rod is fixed and stable with the cable arranged along the first direction and the cable arranged along the second direction.
[0008] Furthermore, the first profile cable fixing component includes a first cable fixing assembly located at the bottom of the profile connecting rod, a first cable fixing assembly for fixing a cable arranged along a first direction, and a U-shaped connecting bolt and nut assembly for detachably fixing the first cable fixing assembly to the profile connecting rod.
[0009] Furthermore, the second profile cable fastener includes a second cable fastening assembly for fastening a cable arranged along a second direction, the second cable fastening assembly being movably connected to the U-shaped connecting bolt and nut assembly.
[0010] Furthermore, the first cable fixing assembly includes an upper cable clamp and a lower cable clamp. The bottom of the upper cable clamp and the top of the lower cable clamp are respectively provided with a corresponding upper cable positioning groove and a lower cable positioning groove. The upper cable positioning groove and the lower cable positioning groove form a cable clamping groove that cooperates with the cable. The U-shaped connecting bolt and nut assembly includes a U-shaped connecting bolt and a nut. The threaded sections at both ends of the U-shaped connecting bolt pass through the profile connecting rod, the upper cable clamp and the lower cable clamp in sequence and are connected to the nut, or pass through the lower cable clamp, the upper cable clamp and the profile connecting rod in sequence and are connected to the nut.
[0011] Furthermore, the top and bottom of the profile connecting rod are provided with cable clearance grooves along its length to avoid cables arranged in the second direction.
[0012] Furthermore, the second cable fixing assembly includes a main cable positioning component and a secondary cable positioning component. The main cable positioning component has a placement groove for placing the cable inside. The secondary cable positioning component has a cable positioning groove that mates with the cable on the side surface that abuts with the main cable positioning component. The main cable positioning component and the secondary cable positioning component can be detachably fixed by a U-shaped fixing bolt and nut assembly. The main cable positioning component includes a connection structure that is movably connected to the U-shaped connecting bolt.
[0013] Furthermore, the main positioning component of the cable includes a cable groove seat for placing the cable, the cable groove seat having a placement groove, and a connecting plate fixedly connected to the top of the left and right sides of the cable groove seat, the top of the connecting plate having a connecting plate bolt through hole, the middle of the U-shaped connecting bolt being located between the two connecting plates and being movably connected to the two connecting plates through a bolt and nut structure.
[0014] Furthermore, the U-shaped fixing bolt and nut assembly includes a U-shaped fixing bolt and a nut, wherein the threaded sections at both ends of the U-shaped fixing bolt pass through the cable groove seat and the cable secondary positioning component in sequence and are connected to the nut.
[0015] Furthermore, a cable connection structure for a profile connecting mechanism includes a cable, wherein a first profile cable fixing member located at both ends of the profile connecting rod is respectively fixed with a cable arranged in a first direction, and a second profile cable fixing member located at both ends of the profile connecting rod is respectively fixed with a cable arranged in a second direction.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting a first profile cable fixing component and a second profile cable fixing component arranged perpendicular to the first direction, the profile connecting rod can be detachably fixed to cables in different directions. In this way, in actual use, the profile connecting mechanism can obtain cable tension support from multiple directions, forming a stable spatial force-bearing system, effectively resisting external force interference from different angles, avoiding structural deformation and loosening due to force in a single direction, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the overall structure. The multi-directional cable connection allows the stress to be distributed more evenly after external force is transmitted to the profile connecting rod and the entire connecting mechanism, preventing concentration in a localized area, reducing the risk of component damage due to stress concentration, helping to extend the service life of each component, and ensuring the long-term stable functioning of the connecting mechanism. Because it can be connected to cables arranged in different directions, this connecting mechanism has strong adaptability to various complex engineering layouts and spatial structure requirements. Whether in a regular rectangular coordinate system layout or an irregular site environment with certain angular deviations, the profile connecting rods can be flexibly positioned and fixed in space by reasonably adjusting the connection between the cable and the corresponding profile cable fixing parts, meeting diverse installation needs. The components are detachably fixed, allowing construction personnel to transport the profile connecting rods and profile cable connectors to the construction site separately. Then, according to the actual cable layout direction, the cables are sequentially connected and assembled with the corresponding first and second profile cable fixing parts. The installation steps are relatively clear and simple, facilitating construction operations, improving construction efficiency, and shortening the overall construction cycle. The detachable connection structure makes subsequent daily maintenance and inspection of the connection mechanism very convenient. For example, to check whether the connection between the cable and the profile cable fixing parts is secure, or whether the profile connecting rod is damaged, only the corresponding fixing parts need to be disassembled for inspection, eliminating the need for a complex overall dismantling process. This reduces the difficulty and workload of maintenance work, making it easier to promptly identify and resolve potential problems. If, during long-term use, components such as the profile connecting rod, the first profile cable fixing component, or the second profile cable fixing component become worn or damaged and need to be replaced, the old components can be quickly removed and the new components installed, thanks to its detachable and fixing features. This ensures that the connection mechanism can be restored to normal working condition as soon as possible, minimizing the impact of component failure on the operation of the entire related project or equipment, and saving maintenance costs and time.

[0041] Example 3:
[0042] Based on some of the above embodiments, or Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, a cable connection structure for a profile connection mechanism is provided, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a cable 300. A first profile cable fixing member 202.1 located at both ends of the profile connecting rod 201 is fixed with a cable 300 arranged in a first direction. A second profile cable fixing member 202.2 located at both ends of the profile connecting rod 201 is fixed with a cable 300 arranged in a second direction.
[0043] In summary, this utility model, by setting a first profile cable fixing component 202.1 and a second profile cable fixing component 202.2 arranged perpendicular to the first direction, enables the profile connecting rod 201 to be detachably fixed to cables 300 in different directions. In practical use, the profile connecting mechanism can obtain tensile support from the cables 300 from multiple directions, forming a stable spatial force-bearing system. This effectively resists external force interference from different angles, avoiding structural deformation and loosening due to force in a single direction, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the overall structure. The multi-directional cable connection allows the stress to be distributed more evenly after external force is transmitted to the profile connecting rod 201 and the entire connecting mechanism, preventing concentration in a localized area. This reduces the risk of component damage due to stress concentration, helps extend the service life of each component, and ensures the long-term stable functioning of the connecting mechanism. Because it can be connected to cables 300 arranged in different directions, this connecting mechanism has strong adaptability to various complex engineering layouts and spatial structure requirements. Whether in a regular rectangular coordinate system layout or an irregular site environment with certain angular deviations, the profile connecting rod can be flexibly positioned and fixed in space by reasonably adjusting the connection between the cable and the corresponding profile cable fixing component, meeting diverse installation needs. The components are detachably fixed, allowing construction personnel to transport the profile connecting rod 201 and profile cable connecting component 202 to the site first, and then connect and assemble the cable 300 with the corresponding first profile cable fixing component 202.1 and second profile cable fixing component 202.2 according to the actual cable 300 layout direction. The installation steps are relatively clear and simple, facilitating construction operations, improving construction efficiency, and shortening the overall construction cycle. The detachable connection structure also makes subsequent daily maintenance and inspection of the connection mechanism very convenient. For example, to check whether the connection between cable 300 and the profile cable fixing component is secure, or whether the profile connecting rod 201 is damaged, only the corresponding fixing parts need to be disassembled for inspection. This eliminates the need for a complex overall disassembly process, reducing the difficulty and workload of maintenance and facilitating the timely detection and resolution of potential problems. If, during long-term use, components such as the profile connecting rod 201, the first profile cable fixing component 202.1, or the second profile cable fixing component 202.2 show wear or damage and require replacement, their detachable fixing feature allows for quick removal of the old components and installation of the new ones. This ensures the connection mechanism can quickly return to normal operation, minimizing the impact of component failure on the entire related project or equipment operation, and saving maintenance costs and time.
