Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic module installation technology, and more specifically, to an integrated installation structure for photovoltaic modules. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous growth of energy demand and increasing environmental awareness, solar photovoltaic technology, as an important component of renewable energy, has been widely applied in the building sector. In particular, Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) technology tightly integrates photovoltaic power generation with the building structure, satisfying both the functional requirements of buildings and achieving efficient energy utilization. However, traditional BIPV structural connection methods and construction techniques still have some shortcomings in practical applications.

[0003] Traditional BIPV systems often require mounting photovoltaic (PV) rails on the roof to secure the PV modules. This not only increases installation costs and complexity but can also place additional strain on the roof structure. Furthermore, the insufficient tightness of the connection between the PV modules and the roof makes the roof's metal materials susceptible to deformation under thermal expansion and contraction, thus affecting the stability and durability of the entire system. Therefore, we propose an integrated PV module installation structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated installation structure for photovoltaic modules to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

A support mechanism is provided below the frame module. Multiple connectors are installed on the frame module. A profiled steel plate is provided between two adjacent connectors. The profiled steel plate and the connector are connected by a 360° interlocking connection. The connectors are installed on the support mechanism.

[0007] A photovoltaic module includes multiple photovoltaic panels with a gap between adjacent photovoltaic panels. A frame is provided along the edge of the photovoltaic panel. A first pressure block is provided between two adjacent photovoltaic panels. A first support part is provided on the profiled steel plate. A connecting groove is provided at the first support part. The first pressure block is connected to the first support part by bolts, and the bolts extend into the connecting groove.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This utility model features photovoltaic modules placed on top of profiled steel sheets and connected by bolts, saving on photovoltaic tracks. The profiled steel sheets and connectors are connected by a 360° interlocking connection, ensuring the deformation of the metal materials under thermal expansion and contraction conditions and ensuring that no holes are needed at the roof connection points. The installation of photovoltaic modules protects the roof panels, extends the roof's service life, and provides a high roof crest height.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0026] Example:

[0027] Please see Figure 1-9 An integrated photovoltaic module installation structure includes a frame component 1 and a photovoltaic module 2. The photovoltaic module 2 is installed on the frame component 1. The frame component 1 facilitates the installation of the photovoltaic module 2, making the installation easier and faster. A support mechanism is provided below the frame component 1, located at the top of the roof. Multiple connectors 3 are installed on the frame component 1, and the connectors 3 have the following structure: Figure 6 As shown in the figure, a profiled steel sheet 4 is provided between two adjacent connecting parts 3, and the structure of the profiled steel sheet 4 is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the profiled steel sheet 4 and the connector 3 are connected by a 360° interlocking connection, and the connector 3 is installed on the support mechanism. The photovoltaic module 2 is located above the profiled steel sheet 4 and is connected by bolts. This connection method not only saves on the use of photovoltaic tracks but also enhances the structural stability. The 360° interlocking connection of each profiled steel sheet 4 ensures that the deformation of the roof metal material under thermal expansion and contraction conditions can be effectively controlled, while ensuring that no holes need to be drilled at the roof connection points, thus maintaining the integrity of the roof.

[0028] The photovoltaic module 2 includes multiple photovoltaic panels 201, with a gap between adjacent photovoltaic panels 201. A frame 202 is provided along the edge of each photovoltaic panel 201, and a first pressure block 5 is provided between adjacent photovoltaic panels 201. The gap between adjacent photovoltaic panels 201 forms a ventilation channel, allowing air to circulate and dissipate the heat generated by the roof photovoltaic module 2, thus helping to reduce the operating temperature of the photovoltaic module 2 and improve its power generation efficiency.

[0029] A first support part 401 is provided on the profiled steel sheet 4, and a connecting groove 402 is provided at the first support part 401. The first pressing block 5 is connected to the first support part 401 by bolts. The bolts extend into the connecting groove 402. The washer sleeved on the bolts can be locked in the connecting groove 402 to achieve the fixation between the first pressing block 5 and the profiled steel sheet 4. The two sides of the first support part 401 are the second support parts of the profiled steel sheet 4. The bottom surface of the second support part is in contact with the surface of the rubber pad 11.

[0030] In this application, the support mechanism includes a support member 6, which is fixed to the top of the roof. A fixing member 7 is provided on the support member 6, and the fixing member 7 is connected and fixed to the support member 6 by bolts and nuts. The connecting member 3 is movably connected to the fixing member 7.

[0031] like Figure 7 As shown, a second pressure block 8 is provided on the fixing member 7, and a bracket 10 is provided on the second pressure block 8. The connecting member 3 is connected to the bracket 10 by screws. A horizontal groove is provided on the second pressure block 8, and the end of the bracket 10 is installed in the horizontal groove.

[0032] In this application, the support mechanism also includes a corrugated sheet 9, the bottom surface of which has a groove 901, and the upper ends of the support member 6 and the fixing member 7 extend into the groove 901. The corrugated sheet 9 enhances the structural rigidity, enabling it to better resist wind and pressure.

[0033] In this application, the first pressing block 5 includes a connecting part 501 and a pressing part 502. A through hole 503 is provided at the connecting part 501, and a protrusion is provided on the pressing part 502, which contacts the frame 202.

[0034] like Figure 8 The diagram shows the front and top views of the first pressing block 5. Pressing parts 502 are provided on both sides of the connecting part 501. This type of first pressing block 5 is used to press and connect two adjacent photovoltaic panels 201. Figure 9 The diagram shows another form of the first pressing block 5's front and top view structure. A pressing part 502 is provided on one side of the connecting part 501 for pressing the outermost photovoltaic panel 201. Since the outermost photovoltaic panel 201 only needs to be fixed on one side, the connecting part 501 only needs to have a pressing part 502 on one side.

[0035] In this application, a rubber pad 11 is laid on top of the support mechanism. The rubber pad 11 is located at the bottom of the profiled steel plate 4. The rubber pad 11 is set to further increase the stability and waterproof performance of the support.

[0036] Working principle: Before installing the photovoltaic module 2, the profiled steel sheet 4 is connected to the connector 3. Then, multiple photovoltaic panels 201 are placed on top of the profiled steel sheet 4. A first pressure block 5 is installed between two adjacent photovoltaic panels 201, so that the two sides of the first pressure block 5 press against the edge of the photovoltaic panel 201. The first pressure block 5 is then connected to the first support part 401 of the profiled steel sheet 4 using bolts and nuts. After that, the connector 3 is connected to the bracket 10 with screws. After the roof construction is completed, the support 6 is installed in the groove 901 of the corrugated sheet 9. Multiple support 6 are installed and fixed on the roof with bolts. A rubber pad 11 is laid on top of the bracket 10. Then, the assembled photovoltaic module 2 is installed on top of the rubber pad 11. The connector 3 at the bottom of the photovoltaic module 2 is connected and fixed to the bracket 10 with screws, thus completing the installation of the photovoltaic module 2.

[0037] The corrugated sheet 9 provides reliable support for the photovoltaic panel 201, allowing it to be stepped on. During construction and maintenance, workers can operate on the photovoltaic panel 201 while standing on it. Because the support spacing is small and the sides of the roof photovoltaic panel 201 are made of tempered glass, the impact of microcracks in the photovoltaic panel 201 can be ignored. Furthermore, no maintenance access is required, increasing the installation rate of the roof photovoltaic modules 2 and improving power generation revenue. The profiled steel sheet 4 and the connector 3 are connected by a 360° interlocking connection and are located below the photovoltaic panel 201. This eliminates the need for a connection structure between the photovoltaic module 2 and the corrugated steel sheet, and also eliminates the need for pre-reserved edge-locking barriers, reducing the number of components used in the installation of the photovoltaic module 2 and saving installation costs. Additionally, it simplifies the installation process of the photovoltaic module 2 and improves the installation stability between the photovoltaic module 2 and the corrugated steel sheet.

[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
