Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic equipment technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic support frame and a sunroom with the same. Background Technology
[0002] As a crucial component of the renewable energy sector, the photovoltaic (PV) industry is seeing a gradual increase in demand for sunrooms. A sunroom typically comprises PV modules and a PV support structure consisting of main beams and multiple columns arranged in an array. The PV modules are arranged on top of this support structure to form the sunroom's roof, maximizing the utilization of solar energy. To improve the stability of the PV support structure, some existing sunrooms on the market typically incorporate crossbeams between adjacent columns and diagonal braces between the columns and crossbeams.
[0003] However, existing sunrooms on the market only have horizontal bracing at the same height in the vertical direction, which cannot effectively support the columns at different heights in the vertical direction. The support effect on the columns is poor, and problems such as column tilting or even photovoltaic bracket collapse are prone to occur, resulting in poor overall structural stability of the sunroom. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above problems, this utility model proposes a photovoltaic bracket and a sunroom that overcomes or at least partially solves the above problems.
[0005] One objective of the first aspect of this utility model is to provide a photovoltaic support that can improve structural stability.
[0006] A further objective of the first aspect of this utility model is to improve the ease of installation of photovoltaic brackets.
[0007] Another further objective of the first aspect of this utility model is to improve the structural stability of the column, thereby further enhancing the structural stability of the photovoltaic support.
[0008] A second aspect of this invention aims to provide a sunroom that can improve structural stability.
[0009] Specifically, according to a first aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a photovoltaic support bracket, comprising:
[0010] Multiple columns are spaced apart on the external bearing surface, and each column extends vertically.
[0011] Multiple crossbeams are spaced vertically, each extending horizontally, and each crossbeam is detachably connected to at least two adjacent columns. Each column is connected to the multiple vertically spaced crossbeams to support the column at different positions in the vertical direction; and
[0012] Multiple support rods, each inclinedly positioned between the detachably connected column and beam, are used to support the column.
[0013] Furthermore, the photovoltaic support system also includes:
[0014] Multiple beam mounting bases, each beam mounting base having a vertically arranged horizontal plate and a vertical plate, the horizontal plate extending horizontally and detachably connected to the extended end of the beam, and the vertical plate extending vertically and detachably connected to a column, so as to mount the beam to the column.
[0015] Furthermore, the extended end of each beam is connected to two horizontal plates of two beam mounting seats, wherein the two horizontal plates are located on the upper and lower sides of the extended end, respectively, the two vertical plates of the two beam mounting seats extend in opposite directions, and the two vertical plates are connected to a column.
[0016] Furthermore, the two horizontal plates have two vertically extending and oppositely positioned vertical mounting holes, so that the two beam mounting seats can be installed onto the horizontal beam by vertically inserting a fastener into the two vertical mounting holes.
[0017] Furthermore, at least some of the columns are connected to the vertical plates of two beam mounting seats on both sides, wherein the two horizontal plates of the two beam mounting seats with the same vertical height extend in opposite directions, and each horizontal plate is connected to a horizontal beam so that the columns are connected to the two horizontal beams that coincide in the extension direction.
[0018] Furthermore, the two vertical plates of the two beam mounting seats with the same vertical height have two horizontally extending and oppositely arranged horizontal mounting holes, so as to install the two beam mounting seats onto the column by inserting a fastener horizontally into the two horizontal mounting holes.
[0019] Furthermore, the photovoltaic support also includes a column base, which includes:
[0020] The seat plate has multiple mounting holes for mounting the seat plate onto an external bearing surface;
[0021] The column sleeve extends upward from the top surface of the base plate and is fitted onto the outer bottom of the column. The column sleeve has multiple fixing holes spaced vertically to facilitate connection and fixation between the column sleeve and the column.
[0022] Multiple reinforcing ribs are installed between the outer periphery of the column sleeve and the base plate, extending upward from the top surface of the base plate to the top of the column sleeve to support the column sleeve.
[0023] Furthermore, each crossbeam is positioned between two adjacent columns.
[0024] Furthermore, multiple columns are arranged in an array, and the columns are spaced apart in the horizontal direction with the middle being higher and the sides lower, so that the photovoltaic modules located at the top of the columns can be inclined and extended downwards.
[0025] According to a second aspect of the present invention, the present invention also provides a sunroom, comprising:
[0026] Photovoltaic modules; and
[0027] According to any of the aforementioned photovoltaic brackets, it is installed below the photovoltaic module to support the photovoltaic module.
[0028] This photovoltaic (PV) support structure utilizes multiple vertically extending and spaced-apart columns to form the basic framework. Multiple horizontally extending and vertically spaced beams, each detachably connected to at least two adjacent columns, connect each column to these vertically spaced beams. This provides support for the columns at different vertical positions, increasing their support strength and thus enhancing the structural stability of the PV support structure. Furthermore, this PV support structure further enhances the support strength of the columns and improves the structural stability by incorporating multiple support rods, each inclined between the detachably connected columns and beams.
[0029] Furthermore, the photovoltaic bracket of this invention, by setting multiple beam mounting seats, each beam mounting seat has a vertically arranged horizontal plate and a vertical plate. The horizontal plate extends horizontally and is detachably connected to the extended end of the horizontal beam, and the vertical plate extends vertically and is detachably connected to the column, thus realizing the installation of the horizontal beam onto the column in a detachable connection manner. Therefore, the photovoltaic bracket of this invention utilizes beam mounting seats to achieve a detachable connection between the horizontal beam and the column, avoiding the inconvenience of installation caused by welding or other methods, improving the ease of installation of the photovoltaic bracket, and thereby improving the overall assembly efficiency.
[0030] Furthermore, the photovoltaic bracket of this invention achieves a detachable connection between the bottom of the column and the external bearing surface by setting a column base with a seat plate for detachable connection to an external bearing surface and a column sleeve extending upward from the top surface of the seat plate for detachable connection to the column. In addition, the photovoltaic bracket of this invention also provides effective support for the column sleeve by providing multiple reinforcing ribs between the outer periphery of the column sleeve and the seat plate. By setting the reinforcing ribs to extend upward from the top surface of the seat plate to the top of the column sleeve, the support strength for the column sleeve is improved, ensuring the structural strength of the column base. This increases the vertical clamping force of the column base on the column, preventing the column from easily swaying and further improving the stability of the sunroom.

[0048] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.
[0049] To solve at least one of the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a photovoltaic support frame and a sunroom incorporating it. The following describes the details... Figures 1 to 15 This invention describes the sunroom and photovoltaic support frame of this utility model.
[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the sunroom 1 of this utility model may include a photovoltaic support frame 10 and photovoltaic modules. Specifically, the photovoltaic support frame 10 is disposed below the photovoltaic modules to support them. In addition, the photovoltaic modules can generate electricity using the photovoltaic effect to supply power to users.
[0051] In this embodiment, the photovoltaic support 10 may include multiple columns 100, multiple crossbeams 200, and multiple support rods 300.
[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple columns 100 are spaced apart on the external bearing surface 2, and each column 100 extends vertically. Multiple crossbeams 200 are spaced apart vertically. Each crossbeam 200 extends horizontally and is connected to at least two adjacent columns 100. That is, each column 100 is connected to multiple vertically spaced crossbeams 200 to support the column 100 at different positions in the vertical direction. Each support rod 300 is inclinedly disposed between the interconnected columns 100 and crossbeams 200 to support the column 100.
[0053] The sunroom 1 of this utility model establishes a basic framework for a photovoltaic support 10 by setting up multiple vertically extending and spaced-apart columns 100. It also incorporates multiple horizontally extending and vertically spaced beams 200, each detachably connected to at least two adjacent columns 100. This connection between each column 100 and the vertically spaced beams 200 provides support for the columns 100 at different vertical positions, increasing the support strength and thus enhancing the structural stability of the photovoltaic support 10. Furthermore, the photovoltaic support 10 further enhances the support strength of the columns 100 by setting up multiple support rods 300, each inclined between the detachably connected columns 100 and beams 200, thereby further improving the structural stability of the photovoltaic support 10 and ultimately enhancing the structural stability of the sunroom 1.
[0054] It should be noted that the external bearing surface 2 can be the ground, roof or other mounting surface, or the upper surface of a rigid mounting structure pre-laid on the ground, roof or other mounting surface. This application embodiment does not make specific limitations.
[0055] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, multiple columns 100 are arranged in an array. Specifically, as... Figure 1 As shown, multiple columns 100 spaced apart in the horizontal direction are arranged with a higher center and lower sides, so that the photovoltaic modules located at the top of the columns 100 can extend downwards at an angle, thereby improving the working efficiency of the photovoltaic modules. Therefore, to support the photovoltaic modules, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the top and bottom surfaces of the main beam 600 can both form a preset angle with the horizontal direction. Correspondingly, the top surface of the column 100 can also be an inclined surface forming a preset angle with the horizontal direction, so as to support the main beam 600 at an angle above the column 100.
[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8As shown, the sunroom 1 of this utility model can also be provided with multiple diagonal supports between the main beam 600 and the column 100. Specifically, a first diagonal support 610 can be provided between the end of the main beam 600 near its outer edge and the column 100 to improve the support strength between the main beam 600 and the column 100. A second diagonal support 620 can also be provided between the first diagonal support 610 and the column 100 to further improve the support strength of the column 100 on the main beam 600. A third diagonal support 630 can also be provided between the end of the main beam 600 near its outer edge and the column 100, thereby further improving the support strength between the main beam 600 and the column 100. In addition, at least some of the ends of the diagonal supports can be detachably connected to the components to be supported via triangular plates 640, improving the ease of assembly and disassembly of the diagonal supports, thereby improving the assembly convenience and maintenance efficiency of the photovoltaic panels.
[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, each crossbeam 200 can be installed between two adjacent columns 100. Therefore, an independent support structure is provided between each pair of adjacent columns 100, increasing the support strength of the columns 100 and further improving the structural stability of the photovoltaic bracket 10, thereby further improving the structural stability of the sunroom 1. In addition, each crossbeam 200 can be disassembled individually, reducing the subsequent maintenance costs of the sunroom 1.
[0058] In other embodiments, each beam 200 may also be connected to a plurality of columns 100 spaced apart in the transverse direction, thereby reducing the number of beams 200 and improving the ease of assembly between the beams 200 and the columns 100.
[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the photovoltaic bracket 10 of this utility model may further include multiple beam mounting seats 210 for detachable connection between the crossbeam 200 and the column 100. Specifically, as... Figure 2 As shown, each beam mounting base 210 has a vertically arranged horizontal plate 211 and a vertical plate 212. The horizontal plate 211 extends horizontally and is detachably connected to the extended end of the beam 200, and the vertical plate 212 extends vertically and is detachably connected to the column 100 to mount the beam 200 onto the column 100.
[0060] The sunroom 1 of this utility model, by setting multiple beam mounting seats 210 in the photovoltaic bracket 10, each beam mounting seat 210 has a vertically arranged horizontal plate 211 and a vertical plate 212. The horizontal plate 211 extends horizontally and is detachably connected to the extended end of the horizontal beam 200, and the vertical plate 212 extends vertically and is detachably connected to the column 100, thus realizing the detachable connection between the horizontal beam 200 and the column 100. Therefore, the photovoltaic bracket 10 of this utility model realizes the detachable connection between the horizontal beam 200 and the column 100 by using the beam mounting seats 210, avoiding the inconvenience of installation caused by welding or other methods between the horizontal beam 200 and the column 100, improving the installation convenience of the photovoltaic bracket 10, and thus improving the overall assembly efficiency.
[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the extended end of each crossbeam 200 is connected to two horizontal plates 211 of two beam mounting seats 210, wherein the two horizontal plates 211 are located on the upper and lower sides of the extended end, respectively. The two vertical plates 212 of the two beam mounting seats 210 located on the upper and lower sides of the extended end of each crossbeam 200 extend in opposite directions, and the two vertical plates 212 are connected to a column 100.
[0062] Therefore, the upper and lower sides of the extended ends of each beam 200 can be detachably connected to the column 100, which improves the connection stability between the beam 200 and the column 100, thereby improving the structural stability of the photovoltaic bracket 10 and the structural stability of the sunroom 1.
[0063] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the two horizontal plates 211 have two vertically extending and oppositely positioned vertical mounting holes, so that the two beam mounting seats 210 can be installed onto the horizontal beam 200 by vertically inserting a fastener 30 into the two vertical mounting holes. That is, the two beam mounting seats 210 located on the upper and lower sides of the extended ends of each horizontal beam 200 can be detachably connected to the horizontal beam 200 using a single fastener 30.
[0064] Therefore, the two beam mounting seats 210 located on the upper and lower sides of the extended end of each beam 200 can be installed with the beam 200 using a vertical fastener 30, which improves the ease of assembly between the beam mounting seat 210 and the beam 200, thereby improving the ease of assembly of the photovoltaic bracket 10 and the sunroom 1.
[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, at least two sides of a portion of the column 100 are connected to the vertical plates 212 of two beam mounting seats 210, respectively. It should be noted that, as... Figure 1As shown, at least some of the columns 100 may include a column 100 located between any two columns 100 in a plurality of horizontally arranged columns 100. Two horizontal plates 211 of two beam mounting seats 210 located on both sides of the same column 100 and having the same vertical height extend in opposite directions, and each horizontal plate 211 is connected to a horizontal beam 200, so that the column 100 is connected to two horizontal beams 200 whose extension directions coincide. That is, at least some of the columns 100 are connected on both sides of the horizontal direction to two horizontal beams 200 whose extension directions coincide.
[0066] Therefore, multiple beams 200 located on both sides of the same column 100 can provide fastening force on both sides of the horizontal line of the column 100 to increase the support force on the column 100 when it is tilting, thereby improving the structural stability of the photovoltaic bracket 10 and thus improving the structural stability of the sunroom 1.
[0067] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the two upright plates 212 of the two beam mounting seats 210 with the same vertical height have two horizontally extending and oppositely arranged horizontal mounting holes, so as to install the two beam mounting seats 210 onto the column 100 by inserting a fastener 30 horizontally into the two horizontal mounting holes. That is to say, the two beam mounting seats 210, which are located on both sides of each column 100 and have the same vertical height, can be detachably connected to the column 100 by a single fastener 30.
[0068] Therefore, the two beam mounting seats 210 located on the upper and lower sides of the extended end of each beam 200 can be installed with the beam 200 using a vertical fastener 30, which improves the ease of assembly between the beam mounting seat 210 and the beam 200, thereby improving the ease of assembly of the photovoltaic bracket 10 and the sunroom 1.
[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3 to 7 , Figures 10 to 13 As shown, the sunroom 1 of this utility model may also include a water trough beam 400 and a main water trough 420.
[0070] Specifically, the water trough beam 400 is detachably connected to the top of the column 100 and extends downwards at an angle from the top of the column 100. The main water trough 420 is located at the extended end 410 of the water trough beam 400 and is used to collect water falling from the edge of the photovoltaic modules of the sunroom 1. Additionally, as... Figure 3 As shown, the sunroom 1 can also have a first diagonal brace 461. The first diagonal brace 461 is set between one end of the water trough beam 400 adjacent to the main water trough 420 and the column 100, and is used to support the water trough beam 400.
[0071] Therefore, the sunroom 1 of this invention, by setting up a main water trough 420 to catch water falling from the edge of the photovoltaic modules of the sunroom 1, avoids the corrosion of other metal components inside the sunroom 1 by leaking rainwater, thereby improving the safety and service life of the sunroom 1 and reducing the maintenance requirements of the sunroom 1. At the same time, the sunroom 1 of this invention achieves stable support for the main water trough 420 by setting up a water trough beam 400 extending downward at an angle from the top of the column 100, and setting the main water trough 420 at the extension end 410 of the water trough beam 400. In addition, the sunroom 1 of this invention also achieves stable support for the water trough beam 400 by setting a first diagonal brace 461 between the end of the water trough beam 400 adjacent to the main water trough 420 and the column 100, thereby improving the support strength of the main water trough 420 and avoiding the problem of instability of the overall support structure due to excessive water in the main water trough 420, thus improving the structural stability of the sunroom 1.
[0072] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the sunroom 1 of this utility model may further include a second diagonal brace 462. The second diagonal brace 462 is disposed between the middle of the first diagonal brace 461 and the top of the column 100, and is used to support the first diagonal brace 461.
[0073] Therefore, the sunroom 1 of this utility model improves the support strength of the first diagonal brace 461 by setting the second diagonal brace 462, thereby improving the structural stability of the first diagonal brace 461, and further improving the support strength of the main water tank 420.
[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the sunroom 1 of this utility model may further include a third diagonal brace 463. The third diagonal brace 463 is disposed between the end of the water trough beam 400 away from the main water trough 420 and the column 100, and is used to support the water trough beam 400.
[0075] Therefore, the sunroom 1 of this utility model achieves stable support for the water trough beam 400 by setting a third diagonal brace 463 between the end of the water trough beam 400 away from the main water trough 420 and the column 100, thereby improving the support strength of the main water trough 420, avoiding the problem of instability of the overall support structure due to excessive water in the main water trough 420, and thus improving the structural stability of the sunroom 1.
[0076] In addition, both ends of the first diagonal brace 461, the second diagonal brace 462 and the third diagonal brace 463 can be detachably connected to the component to be supported via the triangular connecting plate 464, which improves the ease of disassembly and assembly of the diagonal brace, thereby improving the ease of assembly and maintenance efficiency of photovoltaic components.
[0077] In some embodiments, the number of the first diagonal brace 461, the second diagonal brace 462, and the third diagonal brace 463 in the sunroom 1 of this utility model can be determined according to the component overhang. When the component overhang of the photovoltaic module above the water channel beam 400 is less than the first preset size, the third diagonal brace 463 can be set between the end of the water channel beam 400 away from the main water channel 420 and the column 100; when the component overhang of the photovoltaic module above the water channel beam 400 is greater than the first preset size, the first diagonal brace 461 needs to be set between the end of the water channel beam 400 adjacent to the main water channel 420 and the column 100; when the component overhang of the photovoltaic module above the water channel beam 400 is greater than the second preset size, the second diagonal brace 462 needs to be set between the middle of the first diagonal brace 461 and the top of the column 100. It should be noted that the component overhang refers to the distance between the outer edge of the outermost photovoltaic module in the horizontal direction of the sunroom 1 and the point where the center line of the photovoltaic module and the column 100 below it intersects. Furthermore, the first preset size is smaller than the second preset size, and both the first and second preset sizes can be set according to various parameters of the sunroom 1. In one specific embodiment, the first preset size can be set to 800mm, and the second preset size can be set to 1400mm.
[0078] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3 to 10 As shown, the sunroom 1 of this utility model may also include a water guide channel 500.
[0079] Specifically, the water guide trough 500 is located above the water trough beam 400 and extends downward at an angle to receive water falling from the gap between two adjacent photovoltaic modules of the sunroom 1 and guide the water received therein to the main water trough 420.
[0080] The sunroom 1 of this utility model has a downwardly extending water guide channel 500 above the water channel beam 400. By making the water guide channel 500 able to collect water falling from the gap between two adjacent photovoltaic modules of the sunroom 1 and guide the collected water to the main water channel 420, the sunroom 1 can collect and divert rainwater from other parts of the photovoltaic modules, optimize the waterproof structure of the sunroom 1, and thus improve the overall waterproof performance of the sunroom 1.
[0081] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 , Figure 7 or Figure 10As shown, the sunroom 1 can be equipped with multiple water guide channels 500. Each water guide channel 500 is strip-shaped and has a water flow channel 520 with a top opening 424. The extension direction of the water flow channel 520 is parallel to the edge of the photovoltaic module. Specifically, some of the water guide channels 500 can be located below the outer edge of the photovoltaic module to collect water falling from the outer edge of the photovoltaic module in the sunroom 1. Additionally, another portion of the water guide channels 500 can be located below the gap between two adjacent photovoltaic modules to collect water falling from the inner edge of the two adjacent photovoltaic modules.
[0082] Therefore, the sunroom 1 of this utility model, by setting a water guide trough 500 for receiving water falling from the edge of the photovoltaic module of the sunroom 1, avoids the leakage of rainwater from corroding other metal parts inside the sunroom 1, thereby improving the safety and service life of the sunroom 1 and reducing the maintenance needs of the sunroom 1.
[0083] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the main water tank 420 may include a base plate 421, an outer side plate 422 extending vertically upward from the side of the base plate 421 away from the water guide channel 500, and an inner side plate 423 extending vertically upward from the side of the base plate 421 adjacent to the water guide channel 500. The base plate 421, the inner side plate 423, and the outer side plate 422 together define a drainage channel 425 with a top opening 424. The extended end 510 of the water guide channel 500 is located at the top opening 424, so that water in the water guide channel 500 flows into the drainage channel 425.
[0084] Therefore, the sunroom 1 of this utility model enables water in the water guide channel 500 to fall smoothly into the main water channel 420, avoiding the water flow in the water guide channel 500 from flowing to the installation structure between other components, reducing the degree of corrosion and the risk of leakage, thereby improving the waterproof efficiency of the sunroom 1.
[0085] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the outer side plate 422 has a dimension in the direction perpendicular to the bottom plate 421 that is greater than the distance between the extended end 510 of the water guide channel 500 and the bottom plate 421. That is to say, the water drop point of the water guide channel 500 is lower than the outer edge of the main water tank 420, ensuring that the water in the water guide channel 500 can completely fall into the main water tank 420.
[0086] Therefore, in the sunroom 1 of this utility model, the water in the water guide channel 500 can completely fall into the main water channel 420, which further reduces the probability of the water flow in the water guide channel 500 flowing to the installation structure between other components, reduces the degree of corrosion and the risk of leakage, thereby improving the waterproof efficiency of the sunroom 1.
[0087] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, the sunroom 1 of this utility model may also include an outer mounting component 430 and an inner mounting component 440.
[0088] Specifically, the outer mounting member 430 is located on the side of the outer panel 422 away from the drainage channel 425, and is detachably connected to the top of the outer panel 422 and the water trough beam 400, respectively, to support the outer panel 422. The inner mounting member 440 is located on the side of the inner panel 423 away from the drainage channel 425, and is detachably connected to the top of the inner panel 423 and the water trough beam 400, respectively, to support the inner panel 423. In addition, both the outer mounting member 430 and the inner mounting member 440 can be fixedly connected to the main water trough 420 using self-tapping screws 450.
[0089] Therefore, the sunroom 1 of this utility model, by setting an outer mounting component 430 and an inner mounting component 440 between the main water tank 420 and the water beam channel, achieves a detachable connection between the main water tank 420 and the water beam channel, improving the ease of assembly and disassembly of the main water tank 420. Furthermore, the sunroom 1 of this utility model, by simultaneously setting support structures connected to the water beam channel on both the inner and outer sides of the main water tank 420 perpendicular to the extension direction, improves the support strength for the main water tank 420, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the photovoltaic bracket 10, and consequently improving the structural stability of the sunroom 1.
[0090] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figures 5 to 13 As shown, the sunroom 1 of this utility model may further include a main beam 600. Specifically, the main beam 600 is detachably connected to the top of the column 100, and the main beam 600 is perpendicular to both the column 100 and the water channel beam 400. In this embodiment, the main beam 600 is positioned below the water channel 500 to support the water channel 500.
[0091] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the sunroom 1 of this utility model may further include a base support 710 and a clamp 720. Specifically, the base support 710 is detachably connected to the water guide channel 500, and the base support 710 is positioned below the water guide channel 500 to support it. The clamp 720 hugs the base support 710 and the main beam 600 from top to bottom, for mounting the base support 710 onto the main beam 600. Thus, the water guide channel 500 can be indirectly mounted onto the main beam 600 using the base support 710 and the clamp 720.
[0092] In this embodiment, the sunroom 1 of this utility model may further include a lower pressure block 730. The clamp 720 may be a U-shaped bolt 810 with its opening facing downwards. Both ends of the clamp 720 are vertically downwards and extend beyond the lower surface of the main beam 600. The lower pressure block 730 is located below the main beam 600 and has fixing holes for detachable connection to the downward-hanging ends of the clamp 720 using fasteners 30. The bottom of both ends of the clamp 720 are respectively provided with threads. The fasteners 30 used to connect the clamp 720 and the lower pressure block 730 may include vertical nuts 32 that match the threads.
[0093] The sunroom 1 of this utility model achieves stable support for the water channel 500 by setting a base support 710 detachably connected to the water channel 500 below it. Furthermore, by setting a clamp 720 detachably connected to the base support 710, the base support 710 is installed on the main beam 600 of the sunroom 1, thus indirectly connecting the water channel 500 to the main beam 600. Therefore, the waterproof structure of this utility model, with the base support 710 as an intermediate support component between the water channel 500 and the main beam 600, avoids the vibration generated by the water flow in the water channel 500 directly acting on the main beam 600, reducing the dynamic load on the main beam 600, improving the strength and durability of the main beam 600, thereby increasing the supporting strength of the main beam 600 for the waterproof structure and ultimately improving the overall structural stability. In addition, the base 710 can serve as an intermediate medium between the water guide channel 500 and the main beam 600, reducing the transmission efficiency of noise generated by the water flow in the water guide channel 500 through the main beam 600, thereby reducing noise and improving the user experience.
[0094] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the two sides of the water guide channel 500 are connected to the two sides of the base support 710 by lateral insertion of fasteners 30. Therefore, the sunroom 1 of this invention can have the fasteners 30 inserted horizontally from the side of the water guide channel 500 to laterally fix the base support 710 onto the water guide channel 500. This solves the problem of inconvenient installation due to narrow assembly space, improves the ease of installation of the sunroom 1, and thus improves the overall assembly efficiency.
[0095] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the water channel 500 is U-shaped. Therefore, the sunroom 1 of this invention uses a U-shaped water channel, which has a simple structure and is more suitable for modern, minimalist sunrooms, improving the overall aesthetic appeal of the sunroom's interior. At the same time, the simple structure of the water channel 500 effectively reduces the area of the panel where leaves, dust, and other debris can accumulate, reducing the difficulty of cleaning.
[0096] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9As shown, the photovoltaic support 10 of this utility model may further include a water tank bracket 740 and a clamping member 750. Specifically, the water tank bracket 740 is disposed above the water guide channel 500 and detachably connected to the water guide channel 500, and is used to support the photovoltaic module. Thus, the photovoltaic support 10 of this utility model can be used to support photovoltaic modules.
[0097] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the top two ends of the water tank bracket 740 are respectively provided with downwardly and inwardly extending grooves 741. The clamping member 750 includes a wedge-shaped clamp 751 with a lateral opening. The lateral opening is positioned towards the top center of the water tank bracket 740 to press the bottom edge 20 of the photovoltaic module against one end of the wedge-shaped clamp 751; 21 then the other end of the wedge-shaped clamp 751 is inserted into the groove 741. Thus, the photovoltaic module can be installed onto the water tank bracket 740 in a snap-fit manner.
[0098] Furthermore, a limiting block 742 may be provided at the top center of the water tank bracket 740. The limiting block 742 is used to limit two adjacent photovoltaic modules placed above the water tank bracket 740 to a predetermined installation position. Specifically, the lateral sides of the limiting block 742 are respectively used to abut against the inner edges of the two adjacent photovoltaic modules placed above the water tank bracket 740.
[0099] Additionally, the clamping member 750 also has a tail fin plate 752 extending downward from the end of the wedge-shaped clamp 751 away from the lateral opening. In this embodiment, the two sides of the water tank bracket 740 and the tail fin plate 752 can be detachably connected by laterally inserting fasteners 30 to mount the clamping member 750 on the water tank bracket 740.
[0100] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, a base 710, a water tank bracket 740, and one or two clamping parts 750 constitute a water tank installation structure. Each water tank installation structure only requires one fastener 30 on each side to achieve a detachable connection between the water channel 500, the base 710, the water tank bracket 740, and the clamping parts 750, effectively improving the overall assembly efficiency and thus improving the construction efficiency of the sunroom 1.
[0101] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the sunroom 1 of this utility model may further include a false beam 800. Specifically, the false beam 800 is detachably connected to the water channel beam 400. The false beam 800 is located above the water channel beam 400 and is arranged parallel to the main beam 600, and is used to support the water channel 500 together with the main beam 600.
[0102] In one specific embodiment, the sunroom 1 of this utility model may further include a U-bolt 810 and a lower pressure plate 820. The U-bolt 810 hugs the dummy beam 800 from top to bottom, with both ends of the U-bolt 810 vertically downward and extending out of the lower surface of the dummy beam 800. The lower pressure plate 820 is located below the dummy beam 800 and has fixing holes thereon to facilitate detachable connection between the plate and both ends of the U-bolt 810 using fasteners 30.
[0103] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the sunroom 1 of this utility model includes multiple photovoltaic modules, which are arranged in an array. Specifically, the multiple photovoltaic modules can all be arranged vertically. It should be noted that the length direction of each vertically arranged photovoltaic module is parallel to the horizontal direction of the sunroom 1. A relatively long water guide channel 500 is provided at the gap between any two rows of adjacent photovoltaic modules arranged vertically. The water guide channel 500 can be fixed by multiple main beams 600.
[0104] Additionally, due to the size limitations of the sunroom 1, one row of photovoltaic modules located on one side of the sunroom 1 in the lateral direction can be arranged horizontally. It should be noted that the length direction of each horizontally arranged photovoltaic module is perpendicular to the lateral direction of the sunroom 1. A short water guide channel 500 is provided at the gap between any two adjacent photovoltaic modules in the horizontally arranged row. This water guide channel 500 can be fixed to the main beam 600 and the false beam 800.
[0105] Furthermore, such as Figure 10 As shown, the sunroom 1 of this invention can also be equipped with multiple sub-water tanks 530. Each sub-water tank 530 is located below the gap between two vertically arranged photovoltaic modules that are adjacent to each other in the horizontal direction of the sunroom 1. The sub-water tanks 530 can be used to collect water falling from the edges of the photovoltaic modules and guide the collected water to the water guide channel 500, thereby realizing the collection and diversion of rainwater from other parts of the photovoltaic modules, further optimizing the waterproof structure of the sunroom 1, and thus improving the overall waterproof performance of the sunroom 1.
[0106] In some embodiments, the location of the false beam 800 in the sunroom 1 of this invention can be determined based on the component cantilever. When the component cantilever of the photovoltaic module above the water guide trough 500 is less than a third preset dimension, such as... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the dummy beam 800 is positioned on the side of the water trough beam 400 away from the main water trough 420; when the cantilever of the photovoltaic module above the water guide trough 500 exceeds the third preset dimension, as... Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the false beam 800 is positioned on the side of the water trough beam 400 near the main water trough 420. It should be noted that the third preset dimension can be set according to various parameters of the sunroom 1. In one specific embodiment, the third preset dimension can be set to 1000mm.
[0107] In some embodiments, such as Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the water trough beam 400 is detachably connected to the top of the column 100. Specifically, an upward-facing opening slot 120 is formed through the center of the top of the column 100, which is used to accommodate and support the water trough beam 400. The top of the column 100 is also provided with a fixing hole extending perpendicularly to the through direction of the opening slot 120, so that after the water trough beam 400 is erected in the opening slot 120 with its extension direction parallel to the through direction of the opening slot 120, the water trough beam 400 can be installed on the top of the column 100 by laterally inserting fasteners 30.
[0108] The sunroom 1 of this utility model achieves a detachable connection between the water trough beam 400 and the column 100 by forming an upward-facing opening groove 120 and a fixing hole extending perpendicularly to the through direction of the opening groove 120 in the middle of the top of the column 100. After the water trough beam 400 is erected in the opening groove 120 with its extension direction parallel to the through direction of the opening groove 120, the fastener 30 is inserted laterally. This improves the assembly convenience between the water trough beam 400 and the column 100, thereby improving the assembly convenience of the sunroom 1.
[0109] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the sunroom 1 of this utility model may also include a connector 900 for connecting the main beam 600 and the column 100.
[0110] Specifically, such as Figure 14 As shown, the connector 900 may include a base plate 910, a first mounting plate 920, and a second mounting plate 930. The base plate 910 is disposed on the top of the column 100 and covers the top side of the opening slot 120. The first mounting plate 920 extends vertically upward from the base plate 910 and is detachably connected to the main beam 600. The second mounting plate 930 extends vertically downward from the base plate 910. The surface of the second mounting plate 930 is parallel to the through direction of the opening slot 120, and a second mounting hole 931 is provided on it, which is directly opposite to the fixing hole, so as to connect the second mounting plate 930, the water tank beam 400, and the top of the column 100 by means of laterally inserting fasteners 30.
[0111] Therefore, the sunroom 1 of this utility model utilizes connectors 900 that can be detachably connected to the main beam 600 and the column 100 respectively to realize the installation between the main beam 600, the water channel beam 400 and the column 100, reducing the number of installation operations that need to be installed by welding during the construction of the sunroom 1. When installing the main beam 600 and the column 100, there is no need to wait for the welder's work schedule, thus speeding up the overall construction progress.
[0112] Meanwhile, the main beam 600, water trough beam 400, and column 100 are connected by mechanical installation, which simplifies the installation process, increases construction efficiency, and enhances construction safety. Furthermore, the main beam 600, water trough beam 400, and column 100 employ a detachable connection method, improving the structural stability of the sunroom 1 and avoiding safety hazards caused by incomplete welding or other welding issues, thus enhancing the safety of the sunroom 1 in use.
[0113] In some embodiments, such as Figure 14 As shown, the connector 900 may further include at least one reinforcing plate 940. The reinforcing plate 940 is disposed between the first mounting plate 920 and the substrate 910, and is perpendicular to both the first mounting plate 920 and the substrate 910, to support the first mounting plate 920. Specifically, the reinforcing plate 940 is disposed on the side of the first mounting plate 920 opposite to the first opening groove 120.
[0114] Therefore, the connector 900 of this utility model effectively improves the support strength of the substrate 910 to the first mounting plate 920 through the reinforcing plate 940 which is perpendicular to both the first mounting plate 920 and the substrate 910, thereby improving the structural strength of the connector 900.
[0115] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 15 As shown, the sunroom 1 of this utility model may also include a column 100 and a base 110.
[0116] Specifically, such as Figure 15As shown, the base 110 of the column 100 may include a base plate 111, a column 100 sleeve 112, and multiple reinforcing ribs 113. The base plate 111 has multiple mounting holes (not shown) for mounting the base plate 111 onto the external bearing surface 2. The column 100 sleeve 112 extends upward from the top surface of the base plate 111 and is fitted onto the outer bottom of the column 100. The column 100 sleeve 112 has multiple fixing holes (not shown) spaced vertically to facilitate connection and fixation between the column 100 sleeve 112 and the column 100. Multiple reinforcing ribs 113 are disposed between the outer periphery of the column 100 sleeve 112 and the base plate 111, extending upward from the top surface of the base plate 111 to the top of the column 100 sleeve 112 to support the column 100 sleeve 112.
[0117] Therefore, the photovoltaic bracket 10 of this utility model, by setting a column 100 base 110, and having a seat plate 111 for detachable connection with the external bearing surface 2, and a column 100 sleeve 112 extending upward from the top surface of the seat plate 111 and for detachable connection with the column 100, achieves a detachable connection between the bottom of the column 100 and the external bearing surface 2. In addition, the photovoltaic bracket 10 of this utility model also provides effective support for the column 100 sleeve 112 by providing multiple reinforcing ribs 113 between the outer periphery of the column 100 sleeve 112 of the base 110 of the column 100 and the seat plate 111. By setting the reinforcing ribs 113 to extend upward from the top surface of the seat plate 111 to the top of the column 100 sleeve 112, the support strength of the column 100 sleeve 112 is improved, ensuring the structural strength of the base 110 of the column 100. This increases the vertical fastening force of the base 110 of the column 100 on the column 100, avoids the problem of the column 100 being easy to shake, and further improves the stability of the sunroom 1.
[0118] In addition, fasteners 30 can be selected from bolt combinations of M10×80, M12×80, M12×120, etc. In one specific embodiment, fasteners 30 used to connect the main beam 600 and the connector 900 can be M12×80 bolt combinations, and fasteners 30 used to connect the column 100 and the connector 900 can be M12×120 bolt combinations.
