Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum alloy guide rail technology, specifically to an aluminum alloy guide rail. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum alloy guide rails are strip-shaped materials made of aluminum alloy. They have good electrical and thermal conductivity and are easy to process. Aluminum alloy guide rails, also known as aluminum profile guide rails or aluminum alloy slide rails, are devices that can bear, fix, and guide moving devices or equipment while reducing their friction. Aluminum alloy guide rails are used in linear reciprocating motion applications, have a higher rated load than linear bearings, and can withstand a certain amount of torque. They can achieve high-precision linear motion under high loads. The longitudinal grooves or ridges on the surface of the guide rail are used to guide and fix machine parts, special equipment, instruments, doors and windows, etc. Aluminum alloy guide rails play a crucial role in photovoltaic panel installation, and their main functions include fixing photovoltaic panels, adjusting the angle of photovoltaic panels, and resisting the effects of severe weather.

[0003] In existing technologies, when installing photovoltaic panels, especially those at higher positions, the operation on aluminum alloy guide rails is quite inconvenient, which brings great difficulties to the installation work. Moreover, once the photovoltaic panel is installed on the aluminum alloy guide rail, its position cannot be adjusted. This situation leads to the need to invest more manpower and material resources in the installation process, and the overall installation efficiency is also reduced. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an aluminum alloy guide rail to solve the technical problems of inconvenience in installing photovoltaic panels on aluminum alloy guide rails, the inability to adjust the position of photovoltaic panels at higher positions after installation, the waste of manpower and resources, and the impact on installation efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an aluminum alloy guide rail, including a bracket, on which the aluminum alloy guide rail is fixedly mounted, a movable plate is movably connected inside the aluminum alloy guide rail, a locking rod is movably connected inside the movable plate, a pull block is fixed at one end of the locking rod, and the locking rod and the movable plate are elastically connected by a spring.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, it is necessary to obtain the assistance of external personnel to accurately move the bracket to the predetermined fixed position. Then, bolts are used to firmly fix each group of brackets to ensure their stable position and provide a solid foundation for subsequent installation work. After the bracket is fixed, the staff slowly moves both ends of the movable plate into the specially opened sliding cavity inside the aluminum alloy guide rail. Then, the photovoltaic panels to be installed are carefully fixed into the multiple sets of threaded holes evenly opened in the middle of the movable plate with screws. This can fully ensure the installation stability of the photovoltaic panels on the movable plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the movable plate has multiple sets of threaded holes in the middle, and the movable plate has through holes that cooperate with the spring inside. The aluminum alloy guide rail has a sliding cavity that cooperates with the movable plate inside, and multiple sets of locking blocks are fixed inside the aluminum alloy guide rail.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the staff needs to manually push the movable plate to move it smoothly along the aluminum alloy guide rail to one end. During the pushing process, one end of the locking rod inside the movable plate will contact and be squeezed against the inclined surface of the locking block. Due to the elasticity of the spring, the locking rod will slowly move backward along the inclined surface of the locking block until it reaches the rear of the locking block, thus forming a reliable fixed structure. This design effectively prevents the movable plate with the photovoltaic panel installed from sliding backward. After the movable plate is pushed to the other end of the aluminum alloy guide rail and stops moving, multiple sets of movable plates can be installed in the aluminum alloy guide rail in the same way to meet the installation needs of photovoltaic panels of different sizes.

[0009] Furthermore, the top of the bracket has multiple sets of through holes for fixing, and the bracket is fixed to the aluminum alloy guide rail by welding. Multiple sets of fixing plates are fixed on both sides of the bracket, and the fixing plates on both sides of the bracket serve to strengthen the structure.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, it is worth mentioning that when the photovoltaic panel needs to be removed for maintenance or replacement, the operation is also very convenient. Simply pull the pull block at the other end of the locking rod manually to move the locking rod a certain distance backward. At this time, the movable panel can move smoothly and slowly backward inside the sliding cavity, and finally be completely moved to the outside, easily realizing the removal of the photovoltaic panel.

[0011] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: With the assistance of external personnel, the bracket is moved to a predetermined fixed position, and each bracket group is securely fixed with bolts. After the bracket is fixed, the personnel slowly move both ends of the movable plate into the sliding cavity inside the aluminum alloy guide rail. The photovoltaic panel is carefully fixed with screws into multiple evenly distributed threaded holes in the middle of the movable plate to ensure installation stability. Then, the movable plate is manually pushed to move smoothly to one end along the guide rail. During this process, one end of the locking rod inside the movable plate contacts the inclined surface of the locking block and is compressed. Under the action of the spring, the locking rod moves backward along the inclined surface of the locking block to form a fixed structure behind the locking block, preventing backward slippage. Multiple sets of movable plates can be added in this way to meet different needs. When disassembling, the locking rod end pull block is lifted, and the movable plate can be smoothly moved backward to the outside for easy disassembly. This allows for flexible adjustment of the photovoltaic panel position during subsequent installation, facilitating installation and disassembly. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0019] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0020] An aluminum alloy guide rail, such as Figures 1-5As shown, the system includes a bracket 1, an aluminum alloy guide rail 2 fixedly mounted on the bracket 1, a movable plate 3 movably connected inside the aluminum alloy guide rail 2, a locking rod 4 movably connected inside the movable plate 3, a pull block 8 fixed to one end of the locking rod 4, and the locking rod 4 and the movable plate 3 are elastically connected by a spring 5. After the bracket 1 is fixed, the staff slowly moves both ends of the movable plate 3 into the specially opened sliding cavity 7 inside the aluminum alloy guide rail 2. Then, the photovoltaic panel to be installed is carefully fixed into the multiple sets of threaded holes evenly opened in the middle of the movable plate 3 with screws. This can fully ensure the installation stability of the photovoltaic panel on the movable plate 3.

[0021] For example, the movable plate 3 has multiple sets of threaded holes in the middle, and the movable plate 3 has through holes that cooperate with the spring 5 inside. The aluminum alloy guide rail 2 has a sliding cavity 7 that cooperates with the movable plate 3 inside, and multiple sets of locking blocks 6 are fixed inside the aluminum alloy guide rail 2. The operator needs to manually push the movable plate 3 to make it move smoothly along the aluminum alloy guide rail 2 towards one end. During the pushing process, one end of the locking rod 4 inside the movable plate 3 will contact and be squeezed against the inclined surface of the locking block 6. Due to the elasticity of the spring 5, the locking rod 4 will slowly move backward along the inclined surface of the locking block 6 until it moves to the rear of the locking block 6, thus forming a reliable fixing structure. This design effectively prevents the movable plate 3 with the photovoltaic panel installed from sliding backward.

[0022] For example, the top of the bracket 1 has multiple sets of through holes for fixing. The bracket 1 is fixed to the aluminum alloy guide rail 2 by welding. Multiple sets of fixing plates are fixed on both sides of the bracket 1. The fixing plates on both sides of the bracket 1 play a role in strengthening the structure. The locking block 6 has an inverted triangular design. One end of the locking rod 4 has a bevel that cooperates with the locking block 6. When the movable plate 3 is pushed to the other end of the aluminum alloy guide rail 2 and stops moving, multiple sets of movable plates 3 can be set in the aluminum alloy guide rail 2 in the same way as described above to meet the installation needs of photovoltaic panels of different sizes. It is worth mentioning that when the photovoltaic panels need to be removed for maintenance or replacement, the operation is also very convenient. Just manually pull the pull block 8 at the other end of the locking rod 4 to move the locking rod 4 a certain distance backward. At this time, the movable plate 3 can move slowly backward relatively smoothly inside the sliding cavity 7 and finally move completely to the outside, easily realizing the removal of the photovoltaic panels.

[0023] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, it is necessary to use the assistance of external personnel to accurately move the bracket 1 to the predetermined fixed position. Then, bolts are used to firmly fix each group of brackets 1 to ensure their stable position and provide a solid foundation for subsequent installation work.

[0024] After the bracket 1 is fixed, the staff slowly moves both ends of the movable plate 3 into the sliding cavity 7 specially opened inside the aluminum alloy guide rail 2. Then, the photovoltaic panel to be installed is carefully fixed into the multiple sets of threaded holes evenly opened in the middle of the movable plate 3 with screws. This can fully ensure the installation stability of the photovoltaic panel on the movable plate 3.

[0025] Subsequently, the staff needs to manually push the movable plate 3 so that it moves smoothly along the aluminum alloy guide rail 2 towards one end. During the pushing process, one end of the locking rod 4 inside the movable plate 3 will contact the inclined surface of the locking block 6 and be squeezed. Due to the elasticity of the spring 5, the locking rod 4 will slowly move backward along the inclined surface of the locking block 6 until it moves to the rear of the locking block 6, thus forming a reliable fixed structure. This design effectively prevents the movable plate 3 with the photovoltaic panel installed from sliding backward.

[0026] Once the movable plate 3 is pushed to the other end of the aluminum alloy guide rail 2 and stops moving, multiple sets of movable plates 3 can be installed inside the aluminum alloy guide rail 2 in the same manner as described above to meet the installation needs of photovoltaic panels of different sizes.

[0027] It is worth mentioning that when the photovoltaic panel needs to be removed for maintenance or replacement, the operation is also very convenient. Simply pull the pull block 8 at the other end of the locking rod 4 manually to move the locking rod 4 a certain distance to the rear. At this time, the movable plate 3 can move smoothly and slowly to the rear inside the sliding cavity 7, and finally can be completely moved to the outside, easily realizing the removal of the photovoltaic panel.

[0028] The above structure enables the convenient installation of photovoltaic panels at higher positions on the aluminum alloy guide rail 2, and allows for position adjustment after installation, saving manpower and resources and improving installation efficiency.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, these specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions, and variations to the embodiments as needed without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, provided that such modifications, substitutions, and variations are within the scope of the claims of the present invention and are protected by patent law.
