[0002] Photovoltaic (PV) support structures are an indispensable part of photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems. They support and secure PV modules, ensuring that the modules can stably and safely receive sunlight and perform photoelectric conversion. In a PV support system, the roof frame typically consists of several diagonal beams 1' and horizontal beams, used to support the PV modules. The diagonal beams 1' need to be connected in pairs at the ridge in a herringbone pattern.

[0003] Traditional connection methods mainly use welding technology, such as Figure 1 As shown, the ends of the two inclined beams 1' are cut at an angle at the construction site and then fixed together by welding.

[0004] However, this traditional connection method has several shortcomings. First, the welding process requires highly skilled workers with extensive experience. This not only increases the difficulty of construction but may also lead to unstable connection quality. Second, the thermal stress and deformation generated during welding may affect the structural stability and service life of the inclined beam. Furthermore, welding operations involve fire sources and high temperatures, posing certain safety hazards.

[0005] More importantly, traditional welding connection methods also have significant shortcomings in terms of construction efficiency and cost control. Welding operations require a lot of time, especially in large-scale photovoltaic support projects where there are numerous inclined beams and a huge amount of welding work, which directly leads to extended construction periods and increased costs.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting ear is provided with a mounting hole that mates with a fastener.

[0013] Furthermore, each of the U-shaped connecting plates has one mounting hole.

[0014] Furthermore, the fastener is a bolt and nut assembly.

[0015] Furthermore, the inclined beam is a square tube.

[0032] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] This utility model provides a sloping beam ridge connection component for a photovoltaic support structure, such as... Figures 2 to 4 As shown, it includes two connectors 1 and several sets of fasteners 3. The outer ends of the two connectors 1 are connected to the inner ends of the inclined beams 5, which are square tube structures. The inner ends of the two connectors 1 are connected and fixed to each other by the fasteners 3 to connect the two inclined beams 5 together.

[0034] In this embodiment, each connector 1 consists of two identical U-shaped connecting plates 2. The inner wall of the U-shaped connecting plate 2 is designed to fit the outer circumference of the square tube inclined beam 5, which can tightly and firmly hold the square tube inclined beam 5, thereby ensuring that the connecting assembly has excellent stability and load-bearing capacity.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the two sides of the U-shaped connecting plate 2 are bent outwards in opposite directions to form the first joint 21 and the second joint 22. Each of these joints has a number of mounting holes 4 for mounting fasteners 3. The mounting holes 4 on the two U-shaped connecting plates 2 in the same connector 1 are not only matched in number, but also correspond to each other in position.

[0036] Each joint has at least one mounting hole 4, but the number can be increased to multiple holes as needed to provide more connection options and stronger connection strength. In this embodiment, as shown... Figure 4 As shown, two mounting holes 4 are provided on the joint. The setting of these two holes not only ensures the stability of the connection, but also facilitates adjustment and positioning during the installation process.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, each U-shaped connecting plate 2 also cleverly forms a connecting ear 23 protruding from the main body at its inner end. These connecting ears 23 are specifically designed to reliably connect the inner ends of different connectors 1. The connecting ears 23 also have mounting holes 4 that mate with the fasteners 3, allowing the connectors 1 to be tightly and securely connected by the fasteners 3.

[0038] The fastener 3 described in this case is preferably a set of high-strength, corrosion-resistant bolts 31 and nuts 32 to ensure the stability and durability of the connection assembly.

[0039] During assembly, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 First, fasten the two U-shaped connecting plates 2 of one connector 1 with their openings facing each other to the inner end of an inclined beam 5, so that the first joint 21 of the two U-shaped connecting plates 2 are aligned and the second joint 22 of the two U-shaped connecting plates 2 are also aligned. Then, pass the bolt 31 through the corresponding mounting hole 4 and tighten the nut 32 on the other side to fix it. Similarly, fasten the two U-shaped connecting plates 2 of the other connector 1 with their openings facing each other to the inner end of another inclined beam 5 and tighten them in the same way as above.

[0040] Next, align the connecting ears 23 of the two connectors 1 that are fixed to the inclined beam 5. The two U-shaped connecting plates 2 of the first connector 1 and the two U-shaped connecting plates 2 of the second connector 1 are alternately staggered, aligning the mounting holes 4 on each connecting ear 23 so they are on the same axis. Finally, use fasteners 3 to pass through the mounting holes 4 and lock them in place, thus completing the connection of the two inclined beams 5 at the ridge. Here, the U-shaped connecting plates 2 on the same side of the two connectors 1 use one set of fasteners 3, therefore, two sets of fasteners 3 are needed for the connecting ears 23. Alternatively, a longer set of fasteners 3 can be used to fix all four connecting ears 23, but this may reduce stability.

[0041] In summary, this solution eliminates traditional beveling and welding operations during the assembly process, instead employing the more efficient and convenient bolt 31 and nut 32 fastening method. This assembly method not only significantly improves construction efficiency and greatly reduces safety risks during construction, but also effectively reduces labor costs, while avoiding the impact of thermal stress generated by welding on structural stability.

[0042] Furthermore, the ridge connection assembly of this photovoltaic support system allows for free adjustment of the angles of the two inclined beams (5 pieces). During installation, if the angle of the inclined beams (5) is not suitable, the nuts (32) can be loosened to allow the two inclined beams (5) to rotate freely. After adjusting the inclined beams (5) to the desired angle, the nuts (32) can be tightened again. This provides greater flexibility in use, faster installation, improved construction efficiency, and reduced labor costs.

[0043] In this embodiment, the inclined beam 5 is made of a 50x100 square tube. However, this is only one embodiment and should not be considered a limitation of this case. The specifications of the inclined beam 5 can be freely selected according to actual needs, and a matching connector 1 can be selected.

[0044] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides accompanying drawings. These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present invention and are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments, and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these drawings, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementations and the advantages of the present invention. Components in the drawings are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0045] Furthermore, the directions such as front, back, left, and right mentioned in this embodiment are only for reference and do not represent the actual directions in use. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the design of this case. All equivalent changes made based on the key design of this case shall fall within the protection scope of this case.
