Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar photovoltaic technology, specifically a photovoltaic BIPV drainage bracket. Background Technology

[0002] With societal development, solar energy, as a green and clean energy source, has entered society. Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) is a new installation method that breaks down the barriers between the traditional photovoltaic industry and the construction industry, making its further development possible.

[0003] BIPV, or Building Integrated Photovoltaics, is a solar photovoltaic power generation system designed, constructed, and installed simultaneously with a building, forming a perfect integration with the building structure. It is also known as "construction-based" or "material-based" solar photovoltaic buildings. As part of the building's external structure, it serves both power generation and building component / material functions. However, water accumulation is a major factor affecting the power generation of the modules, thus easily impacting their lifespan. Waterproofing is a crucial attribute of BIPV. Current BIPV waterproofing structures are complex, leading to installation difficulties, and the connectors offer limited support and stability, resulting in a short lifespan for the support structure.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] See Figures 1-3 In this embodiment of the utility model, a photovoltaic BIPV drainage bracket includes a bottom bracket 1. A first rotating connecting shaft 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom bracket 1. An installation frame 3 is rotatably connected to the first rotating connecting shaft 2. An installation groove 4 is provided in the installation frame 3. The installation groove 4 is set in an inclined rectangle. Multiple sets of equidistant structural brackets 5 are fixedly connected in the installation groove 4. The structural brackets 5 are also set in an inclined manner. A photovoltaic panel 6 is fixedly installed in the structural bracket 5. A water guide groove 18 is provided at the bottom of the installation groove 4. A second rotating connecting shaft 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water guide groove 18. A water collection groove 12 is rotatably connected to the second rotating connecting shaft 11. The water inlet of the water collection groove 12 is located at the bottom of the structural bracket 5. Multiple sets of equidistant drainage grooves 13 are fixedly connected to the tail of the water collection groove 12. The drainage grooves 13 are connected to the water collection equipment through a connector 14.

[0019] An angle adjustment component is provided between the bottom bracket 1 and the mounting frame 3 for adjusting and fixing the angle of the mounting frame 3;

[0020] A lifting assembly is provided between the bottom support 1 and the water collection tank 12, which is used to drive the water collection tank 12 and the mounting frame 3 to move up and down synchronously.

[0021] When installing the equipment, the bottom bracket 1 is first fixed to the power generation point. Then, the relative angle between the mounting frame 3 and the bottom bracket 1 is adjusted adaptively using the angle adjustment component. While the mounting frame 3 is being adjusted, the mounting frame 3 drives the water collection tank 12 to rise and fall synchronously through the lifting component. When it rains, rainwater drips onto the photovoltaic panel 6 and flows along the structural support 5. Due to the inclined setting of the structural support, the rainwater flows along the inclined direction of the structural support 5, thus preventing rainwater from accumulating in the gap between the structural support 5 and the photovoltaic panel 6. Then, the rainwater flows into the water collection tank 12 along the photovoltaic panel 6 and the structural support 5, and then into the drainage trough 13 along the water collection tank 12. Finally, it flows into the water collection device along the connector 14, thus collecting the rainwater for reuse.

[0022] In one instance of this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-3The angle adjustment assembly includes a first connecting seat 7 fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting frame 3, and an adjustment groove 8 fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom bracket 1. A fastening bolt 9 is provided in the adjustment groove 8, and one end of a support arm 10 is fixedly connected to the fastening bolt 9. The other end of the support arm 10 is rotatably connected to the first connecting seat 7. This utility model first adjusts the position of the fastening bolt 9 in the adjustment groove 8 by the mutual cooperation of the adjustment groove 8 and the fastening bolt 9. While the fastening bolt 9 is adjusted, the fastening bolt 9 drives the support arm 10 to adjust synchronously, thereby adjusting the relative position between the support arm 10 and the bottom bracket 1. At this time, while the support arm 10 is adjusted, it drives the mounting frame 3 to rotate around the first rotating connecting shaft 2, thereby adjusting the relative angle between the mounting frame 3 and the bottom bracket 1.

[0023] In one instance of this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-3 The lifting assembly includes a second connecting seat 15 fixedly connected to the bottom support 1. Connecting frames 16 are fixedly connected to both sides of the water collection tank 12. One end of a parallel synchronous rod 17 is rotatably connected to the second connecting seat 15, and the other end of the parallel synchronous rod 17 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 16. The water collection tank 12 and the bottom support 1 are arranged parallel to each other, and the mounting frame 3 and the parallel synchronous rod 17 are arranged parallel to each other. This utility model forms a parallelogram with the water collection tank 12, the bottom support 1, the mounting frame 3, and the parallel synchronous rod 17. At this time, the relative parallel lifting between the water collection tank 12 and the bottom support 1 can be realized. When the mounting frame 3 rotates, the mounting frame 3 drives the water collection tank 12 to move up and down relative to each other through the second rotating connecting shaft 11, thereby realizing the synchronous adjustment between the mounting frame 3 and the water collection tank 12, thereby preventing the water collection tank 12 from interfering with the rotation adjustment of the mounting frame 3.
