Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of photovoltaic system technology, and specifically relates to a connector for a photovoltaic module and a photovoltaic system. Background Technology

[0002] Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) is a technology that integrates solar power generation (photovoltaic) products into buildings. Unlike traditional photovoltaic panels, BIPV systems directly integrate photovoltaic modules into the building's facade, roof, windows, or other building components. This not only generates solar power but also replaces traditional building materials, offering multiple advantages such as aesthetics and energy efficiency.

[0003] When a BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaic) system with related technologies fails, the pressure plate of the photovoltaic system needs to be removed, the damaged photovoltaic module taken out and replaced with a new one, and then the pressure plate needs to be installed and secured to tighten the new photovoltaic module. However, both the removal and installation of the pressure plate must be performed from the outside of the photovoltaic system, which is difficult and dangerous. For example, if a photovoltaic module in a rooftop photovoltaic system fails, the operation must be performed from the outside of the system, i.e., the outside of the roof. Since photovoltaic modules are fragile, directly climbing onto the roof to replace the damaged module could easily damage other intact photovoltaic modules. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a connector for photovoltaic modules, which can reduce the difficulty of fixing new photovoltaic modules.

[0005] This utility model also provides a photovoltaic system.

[0006] A first aspect of this utility model provides a connector for a photovoltaic module, installed in a photovoltaic system, the photovoltaic system including a photovoltaic module and a fixing component, the photovoltaic module having a support frame; the connector includes:

[0007] The first bracket is connected to the support frame;

[0008] The second bracket is connected to the fixed component;

[0009] The first bracket and the second bracket are connected so that the photovoltaic module is fixed to the fixing component.

[0010] The photovoltaic module connector according to the embodiments of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0011] The first bracket connects to the support frame, and the second bracket connects to the fixing component. The connection between the first and second brackets allows the new photovoltaic module to be fixed to the photovoltaic system. The fixing component supports the new photovoltaic module. The new photovoltaic module needs to be placed in the installation position from the outside of the photovoltaic system. Therefore, it is difficult to connect the support frame and the connector of the new photovoltaic module from the inside of the photovoltaic system. The connector is divided into two parts: the first bracket and the second bracket. The first bracket is connected to the support frame first, and the second bracket is connected to the fixing component. Then the first bracket and the second bracket are connected. This can reduce the difficulty of fixing the new photovoltaic module.

[0012] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first bracket includes a support portion and a first extension portion that are connected to each other. The support portion is close to the support frame, and the first extension portion is used to connect to the second bracket.

[0017] In some embodiments of this utility model, the connector further includes a locking part, the first extension is provided with a first hole, the second extension is provided with a second hole, and the locking part is connected in the first hole and the second hole, so that the first bracket and the second bracket are connected.

[0018] A second aspect of this utility model provides a photovoltaic system, including a connector for the photovoltaic module, a photovoltaic module, a purlin, and a water guide channel as described in the first aspect embodiment. The water guide channel is mounted on the purlin and has a water guide channel formed along its extension direction. The water guide channel is the fixing component, and the connector fixes the photovoltaic module to the water guide channel.

[0019] In some embodiments of this utility model, the photovoltaic system further includes a horizontal bar, which is fixed on the water guide channel and extends from one side of the water guide channel to the other side of the water guide channel; along the extension direction of the water guide channel, the first bracket is staggered from the horizontal bar.

[0020] In some embodiments of this utility model, the photovoltaic system further includes a horizontal bar, which is fixed on the water guide channel and extends from one side of the water guide channel to the other side of the water guide channel; the first bracket is placed on the horizontal bar.

[0046] Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) is a technology that integrates solar power generation (photovoltaic) products into buildings. Unlike traditional photovoltaic panels, BIPV systems directly integrate photovoltaic modules into the building's facade, roof, windows, or other building components. This not only generates solar power but also replaces traditional building materials, offering multiple advantages such as aesthetics and energy efficiency.

[0047] When a BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaic) system with related technologies fails, the pressure plate of the photovoltaic system needs to be removed, the damaged photovoltaic module taken out and replaced with a new one, and then the pressure plate needs to be installed and secured to tighten the new photovoltaic module. However, both the removal and installation of the pressure plate must be performed from the outside of the photovoltaic system, which is difficult and dangerous. For example, if a photovoltaic module in a rooftop photovoltaic system fails, the operation must be performed from the outside of the system, i.e., the outside of the roof. Since photovoltaic modules are fragile, directly climbing onto the roof to replace the damaged module could easily damage other intact photovoltaic modules. Similarly, if the photovoltaic system is installed on the exterior facade, windows, or other building components, it is also difficult to replace the damaged photovoltaic module from the outside of the building.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the photovoltaic module connector of the first aspect embodiment of the present invention is installed in a photovoltaic system. The photovoltaic system includes a photovoltaic module 200 and a fixing component 400. The photovoltaic module 200 has a support frame 230. The connector 300 includes a first bracket 310 and a second bracket 320. The first bracket 310 is connected to the support frame 230, and the second bracket 320 is connected to the fixing component 400. The first bracket 310 and the second bracket 320 are connected so that the photovoltaic module 200 is fixed to the fixing component 400.

[0049] The first bracket 310 connects to the support frame 230, and the second bracket 320 connects to the fixing component 400. The connection between the first bracket 310 and the second bracket 320 fixes the new photovoltaic module 200 to the fixing component of the photovoltaic system. The fixing component 400 is used to support the new photovoltaic module 200. The new photovoltaic module 200 needs to be placed in the installation position from the outside of the photovoltaic system. Therefore, it is difficult to connect the support frame 230 of the new photovoltaic module 200 to the connector 300 from the inside of the photovoltaic system. By dividing the connector 300 into two parts, the first bracket 310 and the second bracket 320, the first bracket 310 is first connected to the support frame 230, and the second bracket 320 is then connected to the fixing component 400. Finally, the first bracket 310 and the second bracket 320 are connected, which can reduce the difficulty of fixing the new photovoltaic module 200.

[0050] like Figure 13 As shown, in related technologies, the photovoltaic module 200 is pressed by the upper pressure member 100 to fix the photovoltaic module 200; the upper pressure member 100 has a fixing wing 110, which is used to press the photovoltaic module 200; if the photovoltaic module 200 is damaged, due to the influence of the fixing wing 110, it is difficult to install a new photovoltaic module 200 in the installation position without removing the upper pressure member 100; and the removal and installation of the upper pressure member 100 need to be performed on the outside of the photovoltaic system; the present invention uses the connector 300 to fix the photovoltaic module 200, which can be performed on the inside of the photovoltaic system, reducing the difficulty and danger of operation.

[0051] It should be noted that if the photovoltaic system is installed on the top of the photovoltaic shed, the inside of the photovoltaic system is under the roof, i.e., indoors, and the outside of the photovoltaic system is on the roof, i.e., outdoors.

[0052] The photovoltaic module connector of this utility model can be used to connect and fix the photovoltaic module 200 to the fixing component 400 of the photovoltaic system. It can also be used to fix the new photovoltaic module 200 to the original installation position of the damaged photovoltaic module 200 during the maintenance of the photovoltaic system.

[0053] Taking a photovoltaic system on a rooftop photovoltaic canopy as an example, the height of a typical photovoltaic canopy is 2.2 to 2.8 meters. If a photovoltaic module 200 is damaged, a ladder or other climbing tool can be used to reach the lower part of the damaged photovoltaic module 200 from inside the photovoltaic canopy. The damaged photovoltaic module 200 can then be broken using a hammer or other tools, creating a hollow space at the installation location. This allows the fixing wing 110 to be separated from the upper pressure member 100, enabling a new photovoltaic module 200 to be installed and fixed in the installation position via the connector 300. Normally, one upper pressure member 100 presses down on two adjacent photovoltaic modules 200. If the entire upper pressure member 100 is removed during the replacement of a damaged photovoltaic module 200, the other adjacent photovoltaic module 200 may become loose, potentially causing it to deviate from its original position. By directly removing the fixing wing 110 from the upper pressure member 100, the upper pressure member 100 no longer restricts the installation of the new photovoltaic module 200, without affecting other photovoltaic modules 200.

[0054] After the fixed wing 110 is directly removed from the upper pressure member 100, the new photovoltaic module 200 can be installed and fixed to the installation position via the connector 300 without removing the upper pressure member 100. Operators can operate from the inside of the photovoltaic system without climbing to the roof or the outside of the building to replace the damaged photovoltaic module 200, reducing construction risks.

[0055] Understandably, the original photovoltaic module 200 was fixed by two upper pressure components 100, such as Figure 6 As shown, the two upper pressure members 100 are the first upper pressure member 120 and the second upper pressure member 130, respectively. Along the direction from the first upper pressure member 120 to the second upper pressure member 130, two photovoltaic modules 200 adjacent to the original photovoltaic module 200 are designated as the first photovoltaic module 210 and the second photovoltaic module 220. The first upper pressure member 120 has a first fixed wing and a second fixed wing arranged opposite each other on its opposite sides, and the second upper pressure member 130 has a third fixed wing and a fourth fixed wing arranged opposite each other on its opposite sides. The first fixed wing presses against one side of the first photovoltaic module 210, the second fixed wing presses against one side of the original photovoltaic module 200, the third fixed wing presses against the other side of the original photovoltaic module 200, and the fourth fixed wing presses against one side of the second photovoltaic module 220. In the event of damage to the original photovoltaic module 200, after removing the original photovoltaic module 200, the second fixed wing is cut, and then the third fixed wing is cut, allowing a new photovoltaic module 200 to be installed between the first upper pressure member 120 and the second upper pressure member 130.

[0056] Please see Figure 2In some embodiments, the first bracket 310 includes a support portion 311 and a first extension portion 312 connected to each other. The support portion 311 is close to the support frame 230, and the first extension portion 312 is used to connect to the second bracket 320. The support frame 230 and the second bracket 320 are connected by the support portion 311 and the first extension portion 312, respectively, so that the first bracket 310 connects the photovoltaic module 200 and the second bracket 320, which is beneficial for fixing the photovoltaic module 200; the support portion 311 and the first extension portion 312 are used to connect different parts of the first bracket 310 accordingly.

[0057] Please see Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments, the support portion 311 and the first extension portion 312 are bent. This bending allows the support portion 311 to fit snugly against the support frame 230, improving the reliability of the connection. The bending also facilitates the connection of the first extension portion 312 to the second bracket 320, making the connection between the first bracket 310 and the second bracket 320 more stable. Furthermore, the bending of the support portion 311 and the first extension portion 312 increases the strength and rigidity of the first bracket 310, giving it greater load-bearing capacity and reducing the risk of deformation and breakage. Generally, the first bracket 310 is a bent iron sheet. The thickness of the first bracket 310 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment of the invention does not limit this. The support portion 311 and the support frame 230 can be fixedly connected by screws.

[0058] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the photovoltaic module 200 has a support frame 230 and a solar panel 240. The support frame 230 includes a clamping part 231, a vertical arm 232 connected to the lower end of the clamping part 231, and a base 233 connected to the lower end of the vertical arm 232. The clamping part 231 is used to clamp the edge of the solar panel 240, and the base 233 is placed on the crossbar 500. The support part 311 is close to the vertical arm 232, and the height of the support part 311 is less than or equal to the height of the vertical arm 232, so that the support part 311 can be located between the clamping part 231 and the base 233 and is set close to the vertical arm 232, thereby improving the firmness of the connection between the first bracket 310 and the support frame 230.

[0059] The clamping part 231 clamps and fixes the battery panel 240. The clamping part 231 is provided with an upper clamping arm, a lower clamping arm, and a clamping groove 234 located between the upper and lower clamping arms. The edge of the battery panel 240 is engaged in the clamping groove 234. The upright arm 232 has a cavity, which can reduce the weight of the support frame 230 and increase the strength and rigidity of the support frame 230. The base 233 is horizontally arranged and is integrally connected to the bottom of the upright arm 232 and extends horizontally inward. Its extension direction is the same as that of the upper and lower clamping arms, but its extension length exceeds that of the upper and lower clamping arms.

[0060] Please see Figures 3 to 4 The support portion 311 and the first extension portion 312 are bent and arranged. The support portion 311 is disposed between the clamping portion 231 and the base portion 233, and is closely attached to the upright arm 232 to improve the firmness of the connection between the first bracket 310 and the photovoltaic module 200. In other embodiments, the first bracket 310 can be sheet metal, and the support portion 311 and the first extension portion 312 are connected in a roughly straight line. In this case, the support portion 311 and the base portion 233 are directly connected by screws.

[0061] Please see Figures 4 to 5 In some embodiments, the first extension 312 includes a first segment 312c, a second segment 312e, and a connecting segment 312d. The first segment 312c and the second segment 312e are offset in their extension directions, and the connecting segment 312d connects the first segment 312c and the second segment 312e. Since there is a height difference between the support frame 230 and the fixing component 400, offsetting the first segment 312c and the second segment 312e can shorten the distance between the first extension 312 and the second bracket 320, which is more conducive to fixing the first bracket 310 and the second bracket 320. The offsetting of the first segment 312c and the second segment 312e in the extension direction of the first extension 312 makes the first bracket 310 form an approximately "Z" shape in its extension direction, which can improve the support capacity of the first bracket 310 to a certain extent.

[0062] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the first extension 312 is close to the bottom of the new photovoltaic module 200. The support 311 can fix the new photovoltaic module 200, and the first extension 312 can support the photovoltaic module 200 to distribute the pressure of the photovoltaic module 200 on the connector 300, improve stability, and fix the photovoltaic module 200 more securely.

[0063] Please see Figures 2 to 5In some embodiments, the second bracket 320 includes a fixed portion 321 and a second extension 322 connected to each other. The fixed portion 321 and the second extension 322 are bent, with the fixed portion 321 closely attached to the fixed component 400, and the second extension 322 connected to the first extension 312. The bending arrangement allows the fixed portion 321 to closely attach to the fixed component 400, improving the reliability of the connection; the bending arrangement also facilitates the connection between the second extension 322 and the first extension 312, making the connection between the first bracket 310 and the second bracket 320 more stable. Furthermore, the bending arrangement of the fixed portion 321 and the second extension 322 can improve the strength and rigidity of the second bracket 320, giving it a greater load-bearing capacity and reducing the risk of deformation and breakage. Generally, the second bracket 320 is a bent iron sheet. The thickness of the second bracket 320 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment of the present invention does not limit this.

[0064] Please see Figure 2 , Figures 8 to 12 In some embodiments, the connector 300 further includes a locking part 330. The first extension 312 is provided with a first hole 312a, and the second extension 322 is provided with a second hole 322a. The locking part 330 is connected within the first hole 312a and the second hole 322a, thereby connecting the first bracket 310 and the second bracket 320. The locking part 330 passes through the first hole 312a and the second hole 322a to connect the first extension 312 and the second extension 322, thus connecting the first bracket 310 and the second bracket 320. During installation, the first bracket 310 can be connected to the photovoltaic module 200, and the second bracket 320 can be connected to the fixing member 400, aligning the first hole 312a and the second hole 322a. Then, the locking part 330 connects the first bracket 310 and the second bracket 320.

[0065] The locking part 330 is a screw or bolt. In order to improve the overall strength of the first extension 312, a connecting protrusion 312b can be provided on the first extension 312, and the first hole 312a is provided on the connecting protrusion 312b. When the first extension 312 and the support part 311 are bent and the first extension 312 is close to the bottom of the new photovoltaic module 200, the first hole 312a is a blind hole to prevent the locking part 330 from passing through the first hole 312a and causing the photovoltaic module 200 to be punctured.

[0066] Please see Figures 1 to 6 The second aspect of this utility model provides a photovoltaic system, including a connector for the photovoltaic module, a photovoltaic module 200, a purlin, and a water guide channel as described in the first aspect embodiment above. The water guide channel is mounted on the purlin and has a water guide channel. The water guide channel is arranged along the extension direction of the water guide channel. The water guide channel is a fixing component 400, and the connector 300 fixes the photovoltaic module 200 to the water guide channel.

[0067] Among them, the purlins play a supporting role, enabling the photovoltaic system to form the roof of the building. The purlins support the roof's own weight and external loads through their lateral support. The water channel is used to collect and drain water. The water channel is used as a fixed component 400, so that the photovoltaic module 200 can be fixed to the water channel through the connector 300.

[0068] It is understood that if the connector of the photovoltaic module has the beneficial effects of the above embodiments, then the photovoltaic system will have the beneficial effects of the above embodiments accordingly. The specific implementation method can be referred to the above embodiments, and will not be repeated in this application.

[0069] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the photovoltaic system further includes a horizontal bar 500, which is fixed to the water channel and extends from one side of the water channel to the other side; the first bracket 310 is staggered from the horizontal bar 500 along the extension direction of the water channel.

[0070] The first bracket 310 is staggered from the horizontal bar 500. The first bracket 310 does not need to be installed according to the position of the horizontal bar 500; its fixed position can be set as needed, making operation more flexible. In other words, in the extension direction of the main water tank, the first bracket 310 can be fixed at any position on the new photovoltaic module 200 that is staggered from the horizontal bar 500, reducing interference from the horizontal bar 500 on the first bracket 310.

[0071] In some embodiments, the photovoltaic system further includes a horizontal bar 500 fixed to the water channel and extending from one side of the water channel to the other side; a first bracket 310 is placed on the horizontal bar 500. By placing the first bracket 310 on the horizontal bar 500, the horizontal bar 500 provides support for the first bracket 310, facilitating its connection to the support frame 230 of the new photovoltaic module 200.

[0072] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the locking part 330 and the support part 311 are arranged side by side, so that the fixing part 321 can pass through the first hole 312a and the second hole 322a along the length direction of the support part 311, reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0073] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the photovoltaic system also includes an upper pressure member 100, which has a fixed wing 110 on one side and a clearance space on the other side, the clearance space being used to avoid the photovoltaic module 200 when a new photovoltaic module 200 is replaced.

[0074] The upper pressure member 100 is used to press the original photovoltaic module 200. In the event that the original photovoltaic module 200 is damaged, by cutting or other means, a clearance space is formed on one side of the upper pressure member 100 so that the damaged photovoltaic module 200 can be removed.
