Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Photovoltaic module installation methods are various, and essentially all are connected and fixed with the support through the installation hole on the frame. The installation of photovoltaic module can be roughly divided into two categories: fixed support installation and tracking support installation. The fixed support is fixed on the support by designing the module installation orientation, inclination angle and the like in advance, the module of the fixed support installation method cannot adjust the module orientation, inclination angle and the like, and cannot be adjusted with the sunrise and sunset to obtain the maximum power generation, but the module does not need to rotate, and each link connecting piece can realize fastening connection, and the overall load level is relatively strong. In order to obtain more power generation, the module often adopts the tracking support installation, the tracking support can follow the track of the sun, and the solar energy is concentrated on the solar cell panel, so that the efficiency of the photovoltaic module is improved, and the solar energy is maximized. However, the overall load performance of the tracking support is relatively low, and the installation cost is relatively high.

[0003] The installation design of the photovoltaic module must consider the requirements of various environmental parameters on the reliability of the module. In terms of load, the overall load level of the photovoltaic module after installation needs to meet the requirements of wind pressure, snow load and the like of the installation site. Compared with the fixed support installation, the efficiency of the tracking support installation can be improved by about 10%, but since the load level of the tracking support installation is far lower than that of the fixed support installation, in the area with relatively poor environment, if the tracking support installation cannot meet the environmental requirements, the installation method with higher power generation efficiency cannot be selected.

[0026] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example embodiments, however, can be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the implementations set forth herein; rather, these implementations are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of example embodiments to those skilled in the art. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the figures, and thus a detailed description of them will not be repeated.

[0027] The terms "one", "a", "the", "said", are used to indicate the presence of one or more elements / components / etc.; the terms "include" and "have" are used to indicate an open-ended inclusion and refer to the possibility that additional elements / components / etc. can be present in addition to the listed elements / components / etc.

[0028] As Figures 1 to 5 The photovoltaic module mounting structure includes a photovoltaic module frame 1, a purlin 2, and a fixing member. The purlin 2 includes a main body structure 21 and a flange structure 22. The flange structure includes a connecting plate connected to the main body structure 21, a fixing plate bent and extended from a side edge of the connecting plate away from the main body structure 21 and arranged opposite to the connecting plate. A slot is formed between the connecting plate and the fixing plate. The photovoltaic module frame has a bottom plate that can be inserted into the slot.

[0029] The main body structure 21 is an open-ended rectangular shell. The flange structure 22 is located on both sides of the length direction opening edge of the main body structure 21. The flange structure 22 is a backfolding structure, and the two backfolding structures are symmetrically arranged.

[0030] One side of the photovoltaic module frame 1 is a bottom plate 12. The bottom plate 12 is provided with a first mounting hole 11. The flange structure 22 is provided with a second mounting hole 221 matched with the first mounting hole 11. The fixing member penetrates the first mounting hole 11 and the second mounting hole 221 to fix the photovoltaic module frame 1 and the purlin 2.

[0031] The photovoltaic module mounting structure further includes a plurality of connecting blocks 3. The connecting blocks 3 are rectangular structures. The connecting blocks 3 are located at one end of the cavity of the main body structure 21.

[0032] The photovoltaic module mounting structure further includes a plurality of pressing block mounting positions 4 arranged at the intermediate gap position between the two connecting blocks 3. The pressing block mounting positions 4 are used to mount pressing blocks.

[0033] The connecting blocks 3 in the cavity connect the two sides of the purlin 2. The connecting blocks 3 provide pressing block mounting positions and improve the overall stability of the purlin 2. The stress point of the purlin 2 is the flange structure 22. The two flange structures 22 are connected through the cavity of the purlin 2. This structure is less stable. When the stress is too large, the purlin 2 will deform to both sides. When the deformation is small, the height of the purlin 2 will be reduced, which will reduce the distance between the back glass of the module and the main shaft, and will increase the risk of panel explosion after the photovoltaic glass 5 deforms. When the stress is too large, the purlin 2 will be directly flattened, and the module installation will directly fail. The connecting blocks 3 in the cavity can share the stress when the two flange structures 22 are stressed, which improves the overall stability of the purlin 2. The pressing block mounting option is increased and the overall load limit is improved.

[0034] A plurality of protrusions 222 are arranged inside the flange structure 22. The protrusions 222 are conical structures.

[0035] The middle part of the main body structure 21 is provided with a plurality of purlin mounting holes 211 for mounting the purlin 2 to the ground.

[0036] The assembly frame insertion flange backfolding structure is provided with a protrusion 222 inside, which can wear the plated layer of the frame surface during the insertion of the frame into the backfolding structure, forming a contact and conduction. This design can reduce the frame grounding step, simplify the installation while reducing the installation cost, and only the support grounding needs to be performed as usual.

[0037] The photovoltaic module mounting structure fully combines with the photovoltaic module frame by designing a flange backfolding structure on the purlin 2, improving the fixing effect, and the full combination of the purlin and the frame can also realize synchronous deformation, so that the stress of the module can be shared to the purlin part, greatly improving the load capacity. Meanwhile, the connecting block is added in the purlin cavity to provide the prerequisite for the installation of the pressing block, and the module installation can freely choose whether to install the pressing block according to the environmental load requirement, and the purlin is connected on both sides to reduce the deformation of the purlin on both sides when stressed, thereby increasing the upper limit of the load for module installation. The backfolding structure is provided with a protrusion 222 inside, which can wear the plated layer of the module frame to form a contact and conduction when combined and installed with the photovoltaic module frame, thereby reducing the module frame grounding step, reducing the cost while simplifying the module installation step.

[0038] The second mounting hole 221 penetrates the middle part of the flange structure 22, and the second mounting hole 221 is a runway-shaped hole, and the first mounting hole 11 is a circular hole, and the first mounting hole 11 and the second mounting hole 221 are both multiple.

[0039] The purlin structure is optimized from a few-shaped structure to a convex-shaped structure, and the added flange backfolding structure wraps the photovoltaic module frame 1 from the upper and lower surfaces, fully combines with the photovoltaic module bottom plate 12, improves the installation and fixing effect, and the full combination of the purlin 2 and the photovoltaic module frame 1 can also realize synchronous deformation, so that the photovoltaic glass 5 deforms downward after being stressed, and since the junction box is located at the back glass, the distance between the module and the support main shaft is the maximum deformation space of the photovoltaic glass 5, and if the purlin 2 deforms synchronously, it can provide upward supporting force for the module, increase the deformation space of the photovoltaic glass 5, improve the upper limit of the load level, and greatly improve the load capacity.

[0040] The installation steps of the photovoltaic module mounting structure are as follows:

[0041] STEP1. Insert the module bottom plate into the purlin backfolding structure, align the module and the purlin mounting hole, and install and fix;

[0042] STEP2. Determine whether additional pressing block installation is required according to the environmental requirements to improve the load level;

[0043] STEP3. After the module and the purlin 2 are installed, the purlin 2 is fixed with the support main shaft.

[0044] STEP 4. Perform grounding of equipment such as brackets and combiner boxes, and test whether the grounding resistance meets the requirements;

[0045] STEP 5. Adjust the component tilt angle and set the bracket tracking program.
