[0043] The following is combined Figures 1 to 16 The balcony photovoltaic module installation structure 10 provided in this embodiment will be described in detail.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This utility model provides a balcony photovoltaic module installation structure 10 for installation on a balcony 20. The balcony photovoltaic module installation structure 10 includes an upper hook seat 100, a lower hanging rod seat 200, a photovoltaic module 300, an upper hook 400, and a side hanging plate 500. The upper hook seat 100 is used to fix itself above the balcony 20 and has an upward-facing hook cavity 110. The lower hanging rod seat 200 is used to fix itself below the balcony 20 and has a lower plug 210. The photovoltaic module... The photovoltaic module 300 has an upper frame 310 located at the top and side frames 320 located on both sides of the upper frame 310. The upper hook 400 is fixed to the upper frame 310 of the photovoltaic module 300. The upper hook 400 has a hook 410 for inserting into the hook cavity 110. The side mounting plate 500 is fixed to the side frame 320 of the photovoltaic module 300. The side mounting plate 500 is provided with a plug cavity 510 for inserting into the lower plug 210, so as to jointly install and fix the photovoltaic module 300 on the balcony 20.

[0045] Reference Figure 3The balcony 20 is equipped with an upper horizontal bar 21 and a lower horizontal bar 22. The upper horizontal bar 21 and the lower horizontal bar 22 are arranged horizontally and are connected and fixed by multiple vertical columns 23.

[0046] The upper hook seat 100 is fixed to the upper horizontal bar 21, and the lower hanging rod seat 200 is fixed to multiple columns 23. The upper hook 400 and the side hanging plate 500 are also fixedly installed on the photovoltaic module 300 at intervals along the height direction. The side hanging plate 500 is fixedly installed on the side of the photovoltaic module 300. Specifically, the positions of the upper hook 400 and the upper hook seat 100 correspond, and the position of the side hanging plate 500 corresponds to the position of the lower hanging rod seat 200. The photovoltaic module 300 is installed on the outside of the balcony 20 by inserting the upper hook 400 into the upper hook seat 100 and the side hanging plate 500 into the lower hanging rod seat 200.

[0047] The upper hook 400's hook 410 is inserted from top to bottom into the hook cavity 110 of the upper hook seat 100, and the side hanging plate 500's plug cavity 510 is inserted from top to bottom into the lower plug 210 of the lower hanging rod seat 200. The photovoltaic module 300 and the balcony 20 are connected by a plug-in method. The structure is simple and the whole installation process is very simple and quick.

[0048] Reference Figure 5 In this embodiment, the upper hook seat 100 has an upper plug 120 and a stop head 130 spaced apart, forming a hook cavity 110 between the upper plug 120 and the stop head 130. The stop head 130 is provided with a stop protrusion 131, which is used to slide with the hook 410 so that the hook 410 can be inserted into the hook cavity 110, and the stop protrusion 131 is used to prevent the hook 410 inserted into the hook cavity 110 from retracting upward. Specifically, the stop head 130 is provided with the stop protrusion 131 on the side facing the upper plug 120.

[0049] The hook 410 is inserted from top to bottom between the anti-reverse head 130 and the upper plug 120. During insertion, the anti-reverse protrusion 131 is squeezed and pushed back, then slides into the hook cavity 110. After the hook 410 is engaged in the hook cavity 110, the anti-reverse protrusion 131 returns to its original position and abuts against the top of the hook 410. The hook 410 cannot be withdrawn from top to bottom. It is stopped downward by the hook cavity 110 and laterally by the upper plug 120 and the anti-reverse head 130, thus limiting the hook 410 within the hook cavity 110, completing the engagement between the upper hook 400 and the upper hook seat 100. The entire process only requires a top-to-bottom insertion action to complete the installation.

[0050] Reference Figure 5In this embodiment, the upper hook seat 100 is also provided with a limiting protrusion 140; the limiting protrusion 140 is used to abut against the bottom edge of the upper horizontal bar 21 of the balcony 20 to limit the height position of the upper hook seat 100.

[0051] Specifically, the upper hook seat 100 is installed on the upper horizontal bar 21 of the balcony 20. To facilitate positioning, the upper hook seat 100 is provided with a limiting protrusion 140. During installation, the limiting protrusion 140 abuts against the bottom edge of the upper horizontal bar 21 of the balcony 20, thereby limiting the position of the upper hook seat 100 in the height direction. The upper hook seat 100 moves laterally along the upper horizontal bar 21 to achieve lateral position adjustment. After the position adjustment is completed, it is installed and fixed by a self-drilling self-tapping screw c.

[0052] Specifically, with Figure 5 The relative positions of the upper and lower hooks are explained below. The upper plug 120 and the anti-reverse head 130 are provided on the upper right side of the upper hook seat 100, and the lower left side of the upper hook seat 100 is provided with the limiting protrusion 140.

[0053] Reference Figure 6 In this embodiment, the side hanging plate 500 includes a body and a locking head 530, and a plug cavity 510 is formed between the body and the locking head 530; the lower hanging rod seat 200 is provided with a guide part 220, which is spaced apart from the lower plug 210. The guide part 220 is used to guide the locking head 530 to move downward so that the plug cavity 510 is locked on the lower plug 210.

[0054] The clip 530 moves downward against the guide 220 until the plug cavity 510 is engaged with the lower plug 210, which prevents the side mounting plate 500 from moving left or right. Simultaneously, as the upper hook 400 engages with the upper hook seat 100, the plug cavity 510 engages with the lower plug 210, thus enabling the insertion and mounting of the photovoltaic module 300.

[0055] The hollow structure of the guide section 220 can improve the rigidity of the lower hanging rod seat 200, and the side tilt of the guide section 220 facilitates the insertion of the upper locking block of the component.

[0056] The lower hanging rod seat 200 is a lower side hanging block snap-fit ​​rod. Due to the inconsistent spacing of the balcony columns 20 and 23, this rod is installed along its entire length. The profile cross-section is shown in the figure. Figure 6 The C-shaped design of the rod includes a plug, which matches the side mounting block plug cavity 510. The upper cavity on the mounting side mainly improves the rigidity of the lower mounting rod, and the inclined side of the cavity facilitates the insertion of the upper locking block of the component.

[0057] The lower hanging rod is a side-mounted clip rod. Due to the inconsistent spacing between the 20mm and 23mm columns on the balcony, this rod is installed along its entire length. The profile cross-section is shown in the image. Figure 6 The C-shaped design of the rod includes a lower plug 210, which is matched with the plug cavity 510 of the side hanging block.

[0058] Specifically, the lower hanging rod seat 200 has a strip-shaped structure and is horizontally fixed between multiple columns 23 of the balcony 20. The cross-section of the lower hanging rod seat 200 is approximately L-shaped, with the guide part 220 and the lower plug 210 respectively located at both ends.

[0059] Reference Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 14 In this embodiment, the balcony photovoltaic module installation structure 10 also includes multiple slot nuts a and multiple fastening bolts b; the upper frame 310 of the photovoltaic module 300 is provided with an upper slot 311, and the side frame 320 of the photovoltaic module 300 is provided with a side slot 321; slot nuts a are embedded in both the upper slot 311 and the side slot 321; the upper hook 400 is fixed to the slot nut a in the upper slot 311 by fastening bolts b, and the side hanging plate 500 is fixed to the slot nut a in the side slot 321 by fastening bolts b.

[0060] Reference Figure 14 The photovoltaic module 300 frame adopts a side-groove design, with two upper hooks 400 installed on the frame and side mounting plates 500 installed on the left and right side frames 320. The upper hooks 400 and side mounting plates 500 are installed using inner side-groove nuts a and set bolts. The upper groove 311 of the upper frame 310 is U-shaped, and the side groove 321 of the side frame 320 is also U-shaped. Groove nuts a are embedded in both the upper groove 311 and the side groove 321. A set bolt b passes through the upper hook 400 and is threaded to the groove nut a in the upper groove 311 to fix the upper hook 400 to the photovoltaic module 300. The set bolt b passes through the side mounting plate 500 and is threaded to the groove nut a in the side groove 321 to fix the side mounting plate 500 to the photovoltaic module 300.

[0061] The slotted nut a is made of aluminum extrusion profile. During installation, the slotted nut a is inserted into the slot and locked in the slot with the set bolt. The mounting holes of the upper hook 400 and the side hanging plate 500 are aligned with the set bolt and inserted. The nut is connected to the threaded end of the fastening bolt b to fix the upper hook 400 and the side hanging plate 500.

[0062] Reference Figure 11 In this embodiment, the upper hook 400 includes a hook 410, a support rod 420 and a rear latching seat 430 connected in sequence; the positions of the hook 410 and the rear latching seat 430 are centrally symmetrical with respect to the support rod 420, and the support rod 420 is provided with a support boss 421, which is used to limit the engagement with the upper groove 311 of the upper frame 310.

[0063] The inner side of the hook 410 is tilted at a certain angle of 6 to 10° to facilitate the insertion of the hook 410 into the hook cavity 110. The support boss 421 is inserted into the upper groove 311 of the upper frame 310. The hook 410 is located on the inner side of the photovoltaic module 300, close to the balcony 20. The rear locking seat 430 is located on the outer side of the photovoltaic module 300, away from the balcony 20. Then, the fastening bolt b passes through the support boss 421 and is threadedly connected to the groove nut a in the upper groove 311 of the upper frame 310 to fix the upper hook 400 on the upper frame 310.

[0064] When installing the photovoltaic module 300, the hook 410 is inserted into the hook cavity 110 of the upper hook seat 100. The anti-retraction protrusion 131 prevents the hook 410 from retracting upwards, thus completing the insertion and installation of the upper hook 400 and the upper hook seat 100.

[0065] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 13 In this embodiment, the side mounting plate 500 is provided with a limiting boss 520, which is used to limit and cooperate with the side groove 321 of the side frame 320 of the photovoltaic module 300.

[0066] The side mounting plate 500 is provided with a plug cavity 510. A limiting boss 520 is provided on one side of the side mounting plate 500. The limiting boss 520 abuts against the side groove 321 of the side frame 320 of the photovoltaic module 300. Then, the fastening bolt b passes through the bolt hole of the side mounting plate 500 and is threadedly connected to the slot nut a in the side groove 321, thus fixing the side mounting plate 500 to the side of the photovoltaic module 300. Side mounting plates 500 are fixedly installed on both sides of the photovoltaic module 300.

[0067] Specifically, the side mounting plate 500 is made of extruded aluminum profile with a limiting boss 520 in its cross-section. This limiting boss 520 matches the side groove 321. During assembly, the limiting boss 520 is engaged with the side groove 321 to ensure the assembly position accuracy of the side mounting plate 500. The side mounting plate 500 is provided with a plug cavity 510 that matches the lower plug 210 of the lower mounting rod seat 200. The two sides of the plug cavity 510 are inclined, and the height of the locking head 530 is higher than the bottom edge of the body. This allows the lower plug 210 of the lower mounting rod seat 200 to be easily inserted into the plug cavity 510. At the same time, the body of the side mounting plate 500 is provided with mounting holes for assembly with the slot nut a.

[0068] Reference Figure 15 and Figure 16In this embodiment, the upper hook seat 100 is provided with a front snap-fit ​​seat 150, and the upper hook 400 is provided with a rear snap-fit ​​seat 430; the balcony photovoltaic module installation structure 10 also includes an upper sealing plate 600, which has a front snap-fit ​​connector 610 and a rear snap-fit ​​connector 620 positioned opposite each other. The front snap-fit ​​connector 610 is used to snap-fit ​​with the front snap-fit ​​seat 150, and the rear snap-fit ​​connector 620 is used to snap-fit ​​with the rear snap-fit ​​seat 430, so that the upper sealing plate 600 seals the top of the photovoltaic module 300 and the top of the balcony 20.

[0069] The upper sealing plate 600 has a front snap-fit ​​connector 610 and a rear snap-fit ​​connector 620 on its front and rear sides, respectively. After the upper hook 400 snaps into the upper hook seat 100, the front snap-fit ​​connector 610 snaps into the front snap-fit ​​seat 150 of the upper hook seat 100, and the rear snap-fit ​​connector 620 snaps into the rear snap-fit ​​seat 430 of the upper hook 400. The upper sealing plate 600 is installed on the upper hook seat 100 and the upper hook 400, and is used to cover the gap between the photovoltaic module 300 and the balcony 20. The sealing is achieved by plugging in the connectors, which is simple in structure and quick and convenient to install.
