[0038] In a specific embodiment, as shown in Figures 2-6 , the plug-in piece 1 is provided with two first guide rails 11 on one side of the track 300, which are arranged at the upper and lower ends of the side, respectively, and two second guide rails 12 are arranged between the two first guide rails 11, that is, the clamping piece 2 is installed between the two first guide rails 11, and the cross-sectional shape of the first guide rail 11 is matched with the shape of the connecting portion 22 of the track 300, which can be C-shaped, rectangular, dovetail groove or other special-shaped structure, to ensure the guidance and stability when the track 300 is inserted. The second guide rail 12 is formed by bending inward from the two sides of the U-shaped groove.
[0039] Referring to Figure 2 , when installed, the clamping piece 2 is inserted into the second guide rail 12 from one side of the plug-in piece 1. Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the two tracks 300 to be connected are inserted along the first guide rail 11 from the two sides of the plug-in piece 1.
[0040] As shown in Figure 1 , when the clamping piece 2 is inserted into the second guide rail 12 from one side of the plug-in piece 1 to the appropriate position, the second guide rail 12 is formed by stamping the limiting portion 121 described above to fix the clamping piece 2, and the position of stamping can be on the inside, outside or both inside and outside of the connecting portion 22. It should be noted that it is not possible to stamp on one side inside and the other side outside.
[0041] As a preferred, the number of limiting portions 121 is four, and each corresponds to one of the four connecting portions 22, and the limiting portion 121 abuts against the inside end or the outside end of the corresponding connecting portion 22. As shown in Figure 1 , the second track 300 is formed with the limiting portion 121 described above inside the connecting portion 22 of the four corners of the clamping piece 2, and the stamping forming process of the limiting portion 121 has low cost and high precision, and the four limiting points form symmetrical constraints to prevent the clamping piece 2 from shifting or loosening.
[0042] Further, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4 , the connecting portion 22 is formed by outwardly folding the edge plate at the four corners of the clamping piece 2, which specifically includes an arc-shaped bending segment 22a and an embedded segment 22b, the arc-shaped bending segment 22a is on the inside, used for abutting against the limiting portion 121; the embedded segment 22b extends outwardly from the arc-shaped bending segment 22a and is embedded inside the sliding groove of the second guide rail 12, so that the clamping piece 2 can be slidably connected in the second guide rail 12.
[0043] Further, as shown in Figure 2 The clamping piece 2 is provided with at least one anti-withdrawal plate 21 for each track 300, the free end of the anti-withdrawal plate 21 extends obliquely along the insertion direction of the corresponding track 300, and the free end is in interference abutment with the track 300 when the track 300 is inserted. The anti-withdrawal plate 21 is isosceles trapezoidal, the free end is the narrow end, and a plurality of teeth 211 are arranged on the free end. When the track 300 has a tendency to come out, the teeth 211 on the anti-withdrawal plate 21 can be embedded in the inner wall of the track 300, achieving better anti-withdrawal effect. The isosceles trapezoidal structure can also enhance the structural strength of the anti-withdrawal plate 21, further improving the stability.
[0044] In a specific embodiment, the angle between the anti-withdrawal plate 21 and the insertion direction of the track 300 is 15°-75°, and the tooth tip angle of the tooth 211 is 45°-75°. As a preferred, the angle between the anti-withdrawal plate 21 and the insertion direction of the track 300 is 45°, and the tooth tip angle of the tooth 211 is 60°.
[0045] As shown in Figure 1 The middle part of the clamping piece 2 is provided with a positioning plate 23, and the adjacent two tracks 300 are inserted and abutted against the positioning plate 23. Since the clamping piece 2 is provided with two-direction anti-withdrawal plates in the technical solution, the positioning plate 23 can prevent the transitional insertion of the track 300 from occupying the anti-withdrawal plate on the other side of the track 300, and the positioning plate 23 can be used as a reference for centering during installation, facilitating installation and improving installation efficiency.
[0046] In another embodiment, the insertion piece 1 is embedded between the adjacent two tracks 300, and the outer contour of the insertion piece 1 is the first guide rail 11. As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 The outer contour of the insertion piece 1 matches the inner contour of the track 300, and the insertion piece 1 is embedded inside the two tracks 300 as a whole. The clamping piece 2 is connected to the side wall of the insertion piece 1, and the anti-withdrawal plate 21 is arranged outward with the free end in interference abutment with the inner wall of the track 300.
[0047] As a preferred, the material of the track 300 and the insertion piece 1 in each of the above embodiments is aluminum alloy, and the material of the clamping piece 2 is sheet metal. The track 300 and the insertion piece 1 made of aluminum alloy have the advantages of lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, etc., and can meet the long-term stable operation requirements of the photovoltaic system in complex environments. The clamping piece 2 made of sheet metal not only has a lower cost, but also has good mechanical strength.
[0048] On the other hand, the surface of the track 300 made of aluminum alloy is easy to form an insulating oxide layer, which is easy to accumulate static electricity and attract dust, and may also cause partial discharge. The teeth 211 of the clamping piece 2 can pierce the oxide layer on the surface of the track 300 made of aluminum alloy, destroy its insulation, and release the static electricity on the surface of the track 300.
[0049] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. The present application can be changed and modified in various ways by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
