Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of photovoltaic installation technology, specifically a large-diameter pipe, and more specifically a photovoltaic installation tool for corrugated steel roof. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread adoption of power generation, photovoltaic (PV) panels have been installed in various scenarios. The conventional method involves raising the panels using mounting brackets, a method suitable for most applications, such as ground-mounted and flat rooftop installations. The brackets allow for adjustment of the panel's angle. For sloping roofs, the optimal approach is direct installation on the sunny side of the roof. Therefore, only crossbeams need to be erected along the sloping surface to secure the PV panels, eliminating the need for additional mounting brackets.

[0003] Corrugated steel panels are a common roofing material for factory buildings due to their high structural strength, low cost, and ease of installation. When installing photovoltaic panels on corrugated steel panels, the crossbeams used to install the panels are fixed to mounting brackets spaced apart on the panels. Given the structural characteristics of corrugated steel panels, the mounting brackets are directly spaced on the corrugations. Since multiple mounting brackets need to be installed on a single crossbeam, ensuring that these brackets are aligned in a straight line requires precise positioning at each bracket, making the installation time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, an installation tool is needed for quickly positioning the mounting brackets supporting the same crossbeam. Utility Model Content

[0009] Furthermore, the connection hole on the mounting base is an elongated hole extending in the vertical direction.

[0010] Furthermore, the second end of the wire rope is provided with a locking block, the first direction dimension of the locking block is larger than the second direction dimension, the second component is provided with a locking groove, the width of the locking groove is larger than the width of the wire rope and smaller than the first direction dimension or the second direction dimension of the locking block, and the width of the connecting hole on the mounting base is larger than the second direction dimension and smaller than the first direction dimension.

[0011] Furthermore, both the first component and the second component include a base and a support portion. The wire rope passes through the support portion, and the support portion slides vertically through the base. A first nut and a second nut are provided on both sides of the base on the support portion. The first nut and the second nut are respectively provided on both sides of the base for fastening the support portion.

[0012] Furthermore, the first and second components are provided with grooves for the wire rope to pass through.

[0013] Furthermore, multiple protrusions are spaced apart on both sides of the groove, so that when the wire rope passes through the groove in the center, there is a gap between the wire rope and any of the protrusions in the groove.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, when installing photovoltaic panels on a corrugated steel roof, the mounting bases 6 must first be fixed sequentially onto the raised corrugations of the corrugated steel sheet 1. Then, the crossbeam 2 is installed onto the mounting bases 6, and finally, the photovoltaic panels are fixed onto the crossbeam 2. Figure 2 As shown, multiple mounting seats 6 on the same crossbeam 2 need to be aligned on the same straight line. Therefore, with the help of the installation fixture in this embodiment, faster positioning and installation can be achieved.

[0035] like Figure 1 and 3As shown, this embodiment provides a photovoltaic installation fixture for a corrugated steel sheet roof, including a first component 3 and a second component 5. A steel wire rope 4 is connected between the first component 3 and the second component 5. A rope winding mechanism is provided on the first component 3. The second component 5 is movably connected to the steel wire rope 4. A mounting base 6 for installing photovoltaic panels is provided with a connection hole. In use, the first component 3 and the second component 5 are installed at both ends of the corrugated steel sheet 1 through corresponding fixing components. Multiple mounting bases 6 are sequentially threaded through the steel wire rope 4. The mounting bases 6 can be pre-threaded onto the steel wire rope, or after the first component 3 and the second component 5 are fixed, several mounting bases 6 can be sequentially threaded onto the steel wire rope 4, and then the free end of the steel wire rope 4 can be connected to the second component 5. The steel wire rope 4 is tightened by the rope winding mechanism on the first component 3 to form a positioning line. Then, the mounting bases 6 are sequentially moved to the corresponding protruding corrugations to complete the installation of the mounting bases 6. The installation positioning of the first component and the second component can be carried out in other ways, such as relative position determination, etc., which are not related to this application and will not be described in detail here.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, to facilitate the fixing of the first component 3 and the second component 5, both the first component 3 and the second component 5 are provided with fixing components. The fixing components include fixing clamps 16 and fastening adjustment rods 18. The first component 3 and the second component 5 are respectively installed on the corresponding fixing clamps 16, and a clamping space is formed between the first component 3 or the second component 5 and the corresponding fixing clamps 16. The fastening adjustment rod 18 is screwed to the fixing clamps 16, and a pressure plate 19 is provided on the inner end of the fastening adjustment rod 18, and an adjustment handle 17 is provided on the outer end of the fastening adjustment rod 18. When the first component 3 or the second component 5 is fixedly installed on the corrugated color steel plate 1, the edge of the corrugated color steel plate 1 is located between the pressure plate 19 and the corresponding base.

[0037] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the rope winding mechanism includes a winding wheel 8 and a wheel frame 9. A crank 10 is mounted on the winding wheel 8. The first end of the wire rope 8 is fixed to the winding wheel 8. The wheel frame 9 is fixedly mounted on the first component 1. The winding wheel 8 and the wheel frame 9 are rotatably connected, and a ratchet mechanism is provided between the winding wheel 8 and the wheel frame 9. The ratchet mechanism is used to prevent the winding wheel 8 from reversing during rope winding, ensuring that the wire rope remains taut after winding. Figure 8As shown, the ratchet mechanism includes a fixed housing 25, a rotating wheel 24, and a wedge-shaped stop 26. The winding wheel 8 is connected to the rotating wheel 24 of the ratchet mechanism, and the fixed housing 25 of the ratchet mechanism is connected to the wheel frame 9. The rotating wheel 24 is rotatably connected to the fixed housing 25. Several locking teeth 29 are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating wheel 24. The wedge-shaped stop 26 is slidably connected to the fixed housing 25 along the radial direction of the fixed housing 26, and a spring 28 is provided between the wedge-shaped stop 26 and the fixed housing 25. An operating handle 27 is provided on the outer end of the wedge-shaped stop 26. When the spring 28 is in its natural state, the wedge-shaped stop 26 is engaged with the locking teeth. One side of the wedge-shaped stop 26 is an inclined surface, and the other side is a vertical surface. When rotating clockwise, the locking teeth 29 contact the inclined surface of the wedge-shaped stop 26, which can lift the wedge-shaped stop 26. When rotating counterclockwise, the locking teeth 29 contact the vertical surface of the wedge-shaped stop 26, and the locking teeth 29 are blocked. By manually pulling up the operating handle 27, the wedge-shaped stop 26 is moved upward, and the wedge-shaped stop 26 is displaced from the locking teeth 29. The connection and installation of the rope take-up wheel 8 and the ratchet mechanism must ensure that it can rotate when the rope is being taken up and is blocked when the rope is being released.

[0038] like Figure 6 As shown, the connection between the second component 5 and the wire rope 4 is as follows: A locking block 21 is provided at the second end of the wire rope 4. The first dimension of the locking block 21 is larger than its second dimension. A slot is provided on the second component 5. The width of the slot is greater than the width of the wire rope 4 to allow the wire rope to pass through, and smaller than the first or second dimension of the locking block 21 to hold it in place and prevent it from passing through. The connecting hole on the mounting base 6 is a vertically elongated hole. The width of the connecting hole on the mounting base 6 is greater than its second dimension and smaller than its first dimension. That is, the locking block 21 can be configured as a rectangular block or a rod-shaped structure, with its long side providing limitation and its short side allowing passage through the elongated hole on the mounting base 6. Furthermore, the elongated hole on the mounting base 6 not only allows for rope threading but also provides a certain degree of freedom of movement in the vertical direction, facilitating installation and adjustment. When the locking block 21 is rod-shaped, its first dimension is its length; when the locking block 21 is rectangular, its first dimension is its length, and its second dimension is its width or thickness.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, both the first component 3 and the second component 5 include a base 12 and a support 7. The wire rope 4 is supported on the support 7. The support 7 slides through the base 12 in a vertical direction. A first nut 11 and a second nut 13 are provided on both sides of the base 12 on the support 7. The first nut 11 and the second nut 13 are respectively provided on both sides of the base 12 for fastening the support 7.

[0040] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the top surface of the support 7 has a groove for the steel wire rope 4 to pass through. Multiple protrusions 20 are spaced apart on both sides of the groove. When the steel wire rope 4 passes through the groove in the center, there is a gap between the steel wire rope 4 and any of the protrusions in the groove. The groove and the protrusions within it are designed to facilitate determining that the first component 3 and the second component 5 are at the same horizontal position during installation, i.e., that the first component 3 and the second component 5 are perfectly aligned. When aligned, the steel wire rope 4 passes through the groove in the center and does not contact the protrusions 20 in the groove. When the first component 3 and the second component 5 are not aligned, the steel wire rope 4 will be skewed and contact the protrusions in the groove. After coarse positioning installation, if the first and second components are not perfectly aligned, they can be aligned by fine adjustment.

[0041] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in order to achieve fine adjustment, a lateral adjustment mechanism is provided between the support part 7 and the base 12. The lateral adjustment mechanism includes a lateral adjustment rod 22 and an adjustment seat 23. The support part 7 is mounted on the base 12 by a slider 12. The adjustment seat 23 is fixedly mounted on the base. The lateral adjustment rod 22 is rotatably connected to the slider 12. The lateral adjustment rod 22 is screwed to the base 12. An adjustment handle is provided at the outer end of the lateral adjustment rod 22. By rotating the lateral adjustment rod 22, the position of both ends of the wire rope 4 can be finely adjusted.

[0042] In use, the steel wire rope 4 is threaded through several mounting seats 6. The first component 3 is installed at the first end of the corrugated steel sheet 1, and the second component 5 is installed at the second end of the corrugated steel sheet 1. These components are then secured using their own fixing components. The steel wire rope is pre-tightened by a rope-winding mechanism and fine-tuned by a lateral adjustment mechanism to ensure the two ends of the steel wire rope are aligned. Then, the mounting seats 6 are sequentially installed on the corresponding corrugations of the corrugated steel sheet 1. This invention is based on the experience and ideas of construction personnel with extensive experience in related work, and the expected improvement is one-third higher than anticipated.

[0043] The above-described embodiments are merely preferred embodiments provided to fully illustrate the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
