Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic panel installation, and in particular to a support structure for photovoltaic panels. Background Technology
[0002] Color steel roofing supports are made of color-coated steel sheets, which are roll-formed into various corrugated shapes. They are suitable for roofs, walls, and interior and exterior wall decorations of industrial and civil buildings, warehouses, special buildings, and large-span steel structure houses. They are lightweight, high-strength, rich in color, easy and quick to construct, earthquake-resistant, fireproof, rainproof, long-lasting, and maintenance-free. They are now widely used. As new energy sources are in the development stage, especially the utilization of solar energy, the installation of photovoltaic panels on roofs has become widely used.
[0003] Photovoltaic panels, or solar panels, are typically installed on rooftops, lake surfaces, and sea surfaces using photovoltaic (PV) mounting systems. Traditional PV mounting systems have a simple structure, consisting of several poles. However, with the increasing number of application scenarios and the emergence of various application problems, the structure of PV mounting systems has been gradually improved.
[0004] While there are photovoltaic (PV) mounting systems on the market suitable for various types of roofs, there are relatively few systems specifically designed for angled steel roofs. Furthermore, the few available systems designed for angled steel roofs are often overly complex and inconvenient to install. Additionally, most existing PV panels are designed to fit snugly against the roof surface, but this approach may result in poor drainage or inconvenient maintenance. Summary of the Invention

A groove for cooperating with the support rail is formed between the top surface of the first vertical part and the two first limiting parts.
[0012] Furthermore, the second clamping member includes, from top to bottom, a first inclined part, a second vertical part, and a second clamping part that fits with the colored tile roof and is V-shaped.
[0013] Furthermore, a first rib is provided on the side of the first clamping member away from the second clamping member.
[0014] Furthermore, a second rib is provided on the side of the second clamping member away from the first clamping member.
[0015] Furthermore, the support rail is locked to the first clamping member by the second locking member.

Detailed Implementation
[0032] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.
[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 7This is a photovoltaic panel support structure provided in this embodiment, used for installation on a colored tile roof 005. It includes at least one set of support devices 001 and a support rail 002 disposed above the support devices 001. The support device 001 includes a first clamping member 010 and a second clamping member 020 installed on the colored tile roof 005 below. A slot 100 is provided on the top of the first clamping member 010 for the support rail 002 to be inserted. The first clamping member 010 and the second clamping member 020 are integral parts, formed by stamping sheet metal parts.
[0034] The support structure also includes a first locking member for locking or installing the first clamping member 010 and the second clamping member 020 onto the colored tile roof 005. The first locking member is a first bolt that passes through the first clamping member 010 and the second clamping member 020 and is connected to the first nut 040. The first nut 040 is directly fixed to the first clamping member 010 or the second clamping member 020, and can be fixed by welding. The first clamping member 010 and the second clamping member 020 are also provided with a first hole 030 for the first locking member to pass through. Specifically, when the first nut 040 is fixed to the first clamping member 010, the first locking member first passes through the second clamping member 020 and then through the first clamping member 010 to be screwed to the first nut 040. When the first nut 040 is fixed to the second clamping member 020, the first locking member... The fastener first passes through the first clamping member 010 and then through the second clamping member 020 to be screwed to the first nut 040. The first nut 040 of this utility model is welded to the first clamping member 010 corresponding to the first hole 030. Alternatively, the first clamping member 010 may have the first hole 030 provided, and the second clamping member 020 may have an internal threaded hole for screwing to the first locking member, or the second clamping member 020 may have the first hole 030 provided, and the first clamping member 010 may have an internal threaded hole for screwing to the first locking member.
[0035] The first clamping member 010 includes a first vertical portion 011, a first clamping portion 012 that mates with the colored tile roof 005 and is V-shaped, and two first limiting portions 013 vertically disposed on both sides of the first vertical portion 011 and with a height higher than the top of the first vertical portion 011. A groove 100 for mates with the support rail 002 is formed between the top surface of the first vertical portion 011 and the two first limiting portions 013. The second clamping member 020 includes, from top to bottom, a first inclined portion 021, a second vertical portion 022, and a second clamping portion 023 that mates with the colored tile roof 005 and is V-shaped. The openings of the first clamping portion 012 and the second clamping portion 023 face each other and are configured to clamp onto the colored tile roof 005. Both the first vertical portion 011 and the second vertical portion 022 are provided with first holes 030 for mates with the first locking member for locking and fixing. With the first inclined part 021, after the first locking member is locked, the first clamping part 012 and the second clamping part 023 can be better clamped on the angled steel roof.
[0036] Since most existing components are made by stamping sheet metal, their overall strength is slightly insufficient. A first rib 014 is provided on the side of the first clamping member 010 away from the second clamping member 020; two first ribs 014 are provided, arranged vertically, specifically distributed on the first vertical portion 011 and the first clamping portion 012. Two second ribs 024 are provided on the side of the second clamping member 020 away from the first clamping member 010, arranged vertically, specifically distributed on the first inclined portion 021, the second vertical portion 022, and the second clamping portion 023. The first rib 014 and the second rib 024 are directly formed by stamping. The first rib 014 and the second rib 024 improve the overall strength of the first clamping member 010 and the second clamping member 020.
[0037] The support rail 002 is locked to the first clamping member 010 by the second locking member; the first clamping member is provided with a second hole 131, and the second locking member passes through the first clamping member 010 and the support rail 002 and is then screwed to the second nut; specifically, the second hole 131 is provided on the first limiting part 013, the support rail 002 is located between the two first limiting parts 013, and the second locking member can be directly made of the second bolt, which passes through the first limiting part 013 and the support rail 002 and is then screwed to the second nut.
[0038] The support structure is also equipped with a main water tank 003 and a clamping seat 004 for fixing the main water tank 003 to the support rail 002. The main water tank 003 is perpendicular to the support rail 002, and the main water tank 003 can be installed at any position on the support rail 002 as needed, without the need for very precise positioning, which greatly improves the convenience and efficiency of installation. The clamping seat 004 has an L-shaped fixing part 041 on both sides, two third clamping parts 042 located inside the fixing parts 041 for pressing the main water tank 003, two third connecting parts 043 located inside the third clamping parts 042, and a support part 044 for connecting the two connecting parts and supporting the photovoltaic panel. The third clamping parts 042, the third connecting parts 043 and the support part 044 are all provided with a third rib 045 below them. Specifically, the third connecting parts 043, the third clamping parts 042 and the fixing parts 041 are arranged sequentially on both sides of the support. The fixing parts 041 are locked to the support rail 002 by screws. How the photovoltaic panel is fixed to the support part 044 is existing technology and will not be described in detail.
[0039] In summary, the support structure of this utility model, by setting a support rail above the first clamping member, can be used to support photovoltaic panels. At the same time, the support rail, in conjunction with the support structure, increases the overall height of the support structure, which can effectively prevent problems such as water accumulation. Moreover, the setting of the support rail allows the main water tank to be installed adaptively according to the position of the photovoltaic panels. In addition, the first or second vertical part of different lengths can be set as needed to adapt to roofs of different heights and maintain the same height after the photovoltaic panels are installed. Furthermore, both the first and second clamping members are equipped with ribs to improve the overall strength and extend the overall service life.
