Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic support technology, and in particular to a U-shaped water trough ridge connection component for a photovoltaic support. Background Technology

[0002] In photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems, the PV mounting system is a crucial component for supporting and securing PV modules, and its stability and reliability are paramount. The roof waterproofing layer within the PV mounting system typically consists of several water channels, which not only support the PV modules but also guide rainwater to drain smoothly, preventing water accumulation on the roof. The water channels are installed on the roof frame, and opposite channels need to be connected and secured at the ridge.

[0003] The traditional connection method involves first aligning one end of the two water tanks 1', then placing the integrated lower connector 2' under the water tank, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, then use the side connection to align the holes of the lower connector 2', fix it with bolts, and finally place the upper connector 3' above the water tank.

[0004] However, this connection method has revealed some problems in practical applications. First, the integrated connector design makes hole alignment difficult, increasing installation difficulty and time. Second, due to limitations in hole positions and connection methods, the number of bolts required often cannot meet design requirements, affecting the stability of the connection. Furthermore, the integrated connector has limited adjustable angles, failing to meet the needs of different tilt angles and limiting the flexibility and adaptability of photovoltaic brackets. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a U-shaped water trough ridge connection component for photovoltaic brackets. It has a simple structure, is more convenient and flexible to fix, and its angle can be adjusted arbitrarily during use, making it highly adaptable.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of this utility model is: a U-shaped water trough ridge connection component for a photovoltaic bracket, comprising two U-shaped connectors and several sets of fasteners;

[0007] The outer end of the U-shaped connector is detachably connected to the inner end of the U-shaped water tank. The U-shaped connector surrounds and fits the outer circumference of the U-shaped water tank and is locked by fasteners. The inner ends of the two U-shaped connectors are detachably connected by fasteners, and the two U-shaped connectors rotate about the center line of the fasteners.

[0008] Furthermore, the openings on both sides of the U-shaped connector extend outwards in opposite directions to form two mounting parts. The mounting parts are supported by the protruding edges on both sides of the U-shaped water tank and are locked and fixed to the protruding edges of the U-shaped water tank by fasteners.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting part is provided with a number of mounting holes, which correspond to the through holes on the U-shaped water tank convex edge.

[0010] Furthermore, the mounting part has three mounting holes, and these three mounting holes are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the mounting part.

[0011] Furthermore, the two sides of the inner end of the U-shaped connector extend outward along its length to form vertical connecting ears, and connecting holes are provided on the connecting ears, with the center line of the connecting holes perpendicular to the two side walls of the U-shaped water tank.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting hole has a runway hole structure.

[0013] Furthermore, each of the connecting ears has one connecting hole, and the center lines of the four connecting holes on the two U-shaped connectors coincide.

[0014] Furthermore, the connecting holes of the connecting ears on the same side of the two U-shaped connectors are fastened by the same set of fasteners, while the connecting holes of the connecting ears on the other side are fastened by another set of fasteners.

[0015] Furthermore, the fastener is a bolt and nut assembly.

[0016] After adopting the above solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This utility model provides a U-shaped gutter ridge connection component with a simple structure, convenient assembly, and adjustable angle. It includes two separate U-shaped connectors and several sets of fasteners. The U-shaped connectors are shaped to fit the U-shaped gutter, effectively surrounding it, and the fasteners ensure a smooth and secure connection. After one side of the U-shaped connector is connected to the U-shaped gutter, the inner ends of the two U-shaped connectors are connected using detachable fasteners.

[0018] After connection, the two separate U-shaped connectors can rotate relative to each other around the center line of the fastener, which can adapt to the installation requirements of different tilt angles of the U-shaped water tank in the photovoltaic bracket. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] This utility model provides a U-shaped water trough 1 roof ridge connection assembly for a photovoltaic bracket, wherein the U-shaped water trough 1 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, there are protruding edges 11 on both sides, and through holes 12 are provided on the protruding edges 11 to facilitate fastening connection with the connecting components.

[0031] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the U-shaped water trough 1 roof ridge connection component of the photovoltaic bracket specifically includes two U-shaped connectors 2 and several sets of fasteners 3. The U-shaped connectors 2 are designed to match the shape of the U-shaped water trough 1, so that the U-shaped water trough 1 can partially overlap with the U-shaped connectors 2, thereby achieving a tight fit and connection.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, the openings on both sides of the U-shaped connector 2 extend outwards in opposite directions to form mounting portions 21, which support the protruding edges 11 on both sides of the U-shaped water tank 1. Mounting portions 21 have mounting holes 22 that correspond to the through holes 12 on the protruding edges 11 of the U-shaped water tank 1, allowing fasteners 3 to pass through and connect. Each mounting portion 21 has at least one mounting hole 22 to meet basic connection requirements, but multiple holes can be added to improve connection stability depending on the actual situation. In this embodiment, to further optimize the connection effect and stability, three mounting holes 22 are provided on the mounting portion 21, and these three mounting holes 22 are spaced apart along the length of the mounting portion 21, ensuring both connection strength and improved installation flexibility.

[0033] like Figure 4As shown, the inner ends of the U-shaped connector 2 extend outwards along their length to form two vertical connecting ears 23. The main function of the connecting ears 23 is to act as a connecting bridge between the two U-shaped connectors 2, ensuring that they can be stably assembled together. Connecting ears 23 have connecting holes 24, the center line of which is perpendicular to the two side walls of the U-shaped water tank 1, allowing fasteners 3 to be inserted vertically for a secure connection. In this embodiment, the connecting holes 24 have a racetrack-like hole structure, providing adjustable space. Each connecting ear 23 has one connecting hole 24, and the center lines of the four connecting holes 24 on the two connectors coincide. The two connectors can rotate about the center line of the connecting holes 24, thus better adapting to various angles and positions during actual installation.

[0034] like Figure 6 As shown, the connecting holes 24 of the connecting ears 23 on the same side of the two U-shaped connectors 2 are fastened by the same set of fasteners 3, while the connecting holes 24 of the connecting ears 23 on the other side are fastened by another set of fasteners 3. Of course, a longer set of fasteners 3 can also be used to fix all four connecting ears 23, but this may reduce stability.

[0035] The fastener 3 described in this case is preferably a high-strength, corrosion-resistant bolt 31 and nut 32 set to ensure the stability and durability of the connection assembly. Because this type of detachable fastener 3, consisting of bolt 31 and nut 32, is used, the U-shaped connector 2 and the U-shaped water tank 1 are detachably connected, allowing for easy disassembly and reassembly if assembly is incorrect. Furthermore, when it is necessary to readjust the angle between the two U-shaped water tanks 1, the nut 32 can be loosened to allow the U-shaped water tank 1 to rotate freely to the desired angle, and then the nut 32 can be tightened to secure it.

[0036] During assembly, refer to Figures 4 to 6 First, place a U-shaped connector 2 under a U-shaped water tank 1, and adjust it so that the mounting hole 22 on the mounting part 21 of the U-shaped connector 2 is aligned with the through hole 12 on the protruding edge 11 of the U-shaped water tank 1. Then, use six sets of bolts 31 and nuts 32 to fix it. Repeat the operation to fix the second U-shaped connector 2 and the second U-shaped water tank 1. Then, overlap the two U-shaped water tanks 1 connected with U-shaped connectors 2 in a staggered manner, and adjust the U-shaped water tank 1 to the required angle. Then, place the connecting ears 23 on the sides of the two U-shaped connectors 2 in a staggered manner, align the connecting holes 24, and lock them in place with two sets of bolts 31 and nuts 32. This completes the assembly of two U-shaped water tanks 1 in a set.

[0037] Compared to existing solutions, this solution is more convenient and flexible in fixing, and the angle of the U-shaped water trough 1 ridge connection component can be adjusted arbitrarily during use to meet on-site construction needs.
