[0038] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0039] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a photovoltaic module installation structure for the facade of an industrial steel structure factory building. This installation structure includes multiple horizontally distributed purlins 100 and multiple vertically equidistant decorative strips 600 spanning the purlins 100. Multiple photovoltaic modules 400 are distributed within the area enclosed by the purlins 100 and the decorative strips 600. Furthermore, the installation structure includes hangers, including upper hangers 200 and lower hangers 300. Each purlin 100 is provided with at least one of the upper hangers 200 and lower hangers 300, and both the upper hangers 200 and lower hangers 300 have upward-facing slots. Each photovoltaic module 400 includes a photovoltaic panel 403 and a frame disposed at the upper and lower ends of the photovoltaic panel 403. The frame has an outer edge 4003 that inserts into the slot.
[0040] The installation structure design in this embodiment fully considers the facade characteristics of steel structure industrial buildings. A stable and expandable support frame is formed by multiple horizontally distributed purlins 100 and vertically equidistantly distributed longitudinal decorative strips 600. The photovoltaic modules 400 are arranged within this frame, ensuring sufficient sunlight contact area while facilitating maintenance and management. The upper and lower mounting brackets 200 and 300 not only provide connection interfaces between the photovoltaic modules 400 and the purlins 100, but also enable quick and accurate installation positioning through their slots. This slot-type design simplifies the installation process and improves installation flexibility and reliability. The frame design of the photovoltaic modules 400 further enhances their structural strength. Simultaneously, the outer extension edge 4003 allows the photovoltaic modules 400 to be securely inserted into the slots of the upper and lower mounting brackets 300, ensuring the stability of the modules under adverse weather conditions.
[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, both the upper bracket 200 and the lower bracket 300 are fixed to the purlin 100 using self-tapping screws 301. The uppermost purlin 100 only has the upper bracket 200, which facilitates the sequential installation of the photovoltaic module 400 from top to bottom and avoids water accumulation at the top. The lowermost purlin 100 only has the lower bracket 300, which provides additional support points to ensure the stability of the photovoltaic module 400 under gravity. The middle purlin 100 has both the upper bracket 200 and the lower bracket 300, with the upper bracket 200 located below the lower bracket 300. This design helps guide rainwater downwards, reducing the risk of water accumulation and maintaining a clean and aesthetically pleasing facade. The width of the upper bracket 200 is greater than the width of the lower bracket 300, which provides a larger contact area, enhances the support of the upper part of the photovoltaic module 400, and facilitates adjustment of the module's horizontal position. A mounting hole b is provided on the lower bracket 300, and a fixing bolt 302 is provided on the mounting hole b to connect the photovoltaic module 400 and the purlin 100 together, realizing a rigid connection between the photovoltaic module 400 and the purlin 100, ensuring the stability of the module under external forces such as wind load and snow load. This design not only improves the overall wind pressure resistance of the installation structure, but also facilitates later maintenance and replacement, reducing maintenance costs.
[0042] A horizontal decorative strip 500 is installed between two adjacent photovoltaic modules 400 in a vertical direction, and the horizontal decorative strip 500 is fixed to the photovoltaic modules 400 and purlins 100 by fixing bolts 302. The horizontal decorative strip 500 effectively prevents rainwater, dust and other impurities from entering the gaps between the photovoltaic modules 400, protecting the electrical connections of the modules and extending their service life. At the same time, the fixing bolts 302 connecting the horizontal decorative strip 500 to the photovoltaic modules 400 and purlins 100 enhance the stability of the overall structure and prevent the modules from colliding or shifting due to wind. This design not only improves the sealing of the installation structure, but also beautifies the facade appearance and enhances the overall image of the industrial building.
[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the frame in this embodiment includes an upper frame 401 and a lower frame 402. Both the upper frame 401 and the lower frame 402 are equipped with a support body 4002, and a slot 4001 for fixing the photovoltaic panel 403 is provided at one end of the support body 4002. The slot 4001 enables a quick and secure connection between the photovoltaic panel 403 and the frame, eliminating the need for additional fasteners and simplifying the installation process. The upper frame 401 and the lower frame 402 have oppositely oriented outer edges 4003 at the other end of the support body 4002. This is to accommodate the different slot orientations of the upper hanger 200 and the lower hanger 300, ensuring the flexibility and accuracy of the photovoltaic module 400 during installation. This frame design not only improves the installation efficiency of the photovoltaic module 400 but also enhances its structural strength and weather resistance.
[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, the cross-section of the longitudinal decorative panel 600 includes a U-shaped main body and a sealing plate disposed at the opening of the main body. The sealing plate is perpendicular to the opening of the main body and extends to both sides. The U-shaped design of the longitudinal decorative panel 600 not only reduces the structural weight but also improves its bending and torsional resistance, enhancing the overall structural stability. The sealing plate effectively prevents rainwater, dust, and other impurities from entering the interior of the longitudinal decorative panel 600, protecting its internal structure and extending its service life. Simultaneously, the design of the sealing plate extending to both sides increases the contact area between the longitudinal decorative panel 600 and the purlin 100, enhancing the stability of the connection point. This design of the longitudinal decorative panel 600 not only improves the load-bearing capacity and weather resistance of the installation structure but also simplifies the installation process and reduces construction difficulty.
[0045] The upper bracket 200 has multiple self-tapping screw holes 301, providing greater installation flexibility and adapting to the installation needs of photovoltaic modules 400 of different sizes and specifications. Simultaneously, the selection of multiple holes can also distribute stress, enhancing the connection strength between the upper bracket 200 and the purlin 100. This design not only improves the adaptability and reliability of the installation structure but also simplifies the installation process, reducing construction difficulty and cost. The width of the photovoltaic module 400 is approximately equal to the distance between two adjacent longitudinal decorative strips 600, and the width of the photovoltaic module 400 is greater than the distance between two adjacent sealing plates on the two longitudinal decorative strips 600. This prevents the photovoltaic module 400 from flipping outwards and falling, ensuring that the photovoltaic module 400 can only slide up and down along the side wall of the longitudinal decorative strip 600.
[0046] A water-blocking plate is installed at the top of the purlin 100, which effectively prevents rainwater from seeping into the building from the top of the facade, thus protecting the safety and stability of the building structure.
[0047] The photovoltaic module 400 is connected to at least two under-mount components 300, providing a larger support area and stability, ensuring the stability of the photovoltaic module 400 under gravity. Simultaneously, the dispersed arrangement of multiple under-mount components 300 can also distribute stress and enhance the connection strength between the module and the purlin 100. This design not only improves the load-bearing capacity and stability of the installation structure but also simplifies the installation process, reducing construction difficulty and cost. Furthermore, the design of multiple under-mount components 300 provides greater operational space for later maintenance and replacement, facilitating quick and accurate maintenance and replacement operations by maintenance personnel.
[0048] The specific installation steps in this embodiment are as follows:
[0049] First, based on the dimensions of the photovoltaic module 400, determine the positions of the purlins 100 and longitudinal decorative panels 600 on the facade of the steel structure factory building, and then install them. Ensure that the purlins are horizontally distributed and the longitudinal decorative panels are vertically and equidistantly distributed across the purlins. Next, install the upper hangers 200 and lower hangers 300 on the purlins 100.
[0050] Insert the outer edge 4003 of the photovoltaic module 400 frame into the slots of the upper bracket 200 and lower bracket 300 for quick and accurate installation positioning. Secure the upper bracket 200 and lower bracket 300 to the purlin 100 using self-tapping screws 301, ensuring a firm connection. Install fixing bolts 302 in the mounting holes b of the lower bracket 300 to connect the photovoltaic module 400 and the purlin 100 together, achieving a rigid connection. Install a horizontal decorative strip 500 between two adjacent photovoltaic modules 400 in the vertical direction, and use fixing bolts 302 to secure the horizontal decorative strip to the photovoltaic module and purlin, ensuring sealing and stability. Finally, check that all connection points are secure to ensure the safety and stability of the installation structure. Adjust and reinforce as needed.
