Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic module technology, and more specifically to an installation structure compatible with multiple photovoltaic tile types. Background Technology
[0002] Photovoltaic tiles are building materials that encapsulate photovoltaic module units into tiles using a specific process, giving the tiles the attribute of generating photovoltaic power. In addition to generating photovoltaic power, photovoltaic tiles must meet all the basic properties of tiles, such as rainproofing, wind resistance, and heat insulation, and also possess more superior additional attributes, such as clean energy, easy installation, lightweight, safety, durability, heat insulation, and aesthetics.
[0003] Solar roof tiles are installed on roofs using mounting structures. In existing systems, the tiles are bolted to these structures, and the mounting holes on the tiles correspond to the mounting holes on the structures. This means that a specific type of solar tile can only be installed on a specific mounting structure, and vice versa. Furthermore, if there is any deviation in the bolt installation, the tiles will not fit tightly, resulting in gaps and affecting the overall installation effect. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an installation structure that is compatible with multiple photovoltaic tile types, can adapt to the installation of different photovoltaic tiles, and can ensure the overall installation effect of the photovoltaic tiles.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows.
[0006] An installation structure compatible with multiple photovoltaic tile types includes an L-shaped bracket mounted on a roof. The L-shaped bracket has Z-shaped roof hooks. A square steel tube is horizontally positioned at the top side of the roof hook, and a hook for supporting the upper photovoltaic tile and fixing the lower photovoltaic tile is positioned on the other side of the square steel tube. The hook has a Z-shaped structure, with both ends being folded-back hooks. The lower end of the hook hooks onto the side end of the square steel tube. The upper photovoltaic tile is inserted into the folded-back end of the hook, and the lower photovoltaic tile is inserted between the folded-back end of the hook and the square steel tube. Adhesive backing for fixing the photovoltaic tiles is provided inside both the upper and lower folded-back ends of the hook. Water-stop strips are provided at the connection points between the upper and lower photovoltaic tiles, as well as at the connection points between adjacent photovoltaic tiles, to prevent rainwater from entering the interior of the photovoltaic tiles.
[0007] To further optimize the technical solution, the fold-back height of the lower end of the hook is greater than the combined height of the square steel pipe and the photovoltaic tile, and the fold-back height of the upper end of the hook is greater than the thickness of the photovoltaic tile.
[0008] To further optimize the technical solution, the L-shaped bracket is fixed to the roof with bolts.
[0009] To further optimize the technical solution, the roof hook is fixed to the top of the L-shaped bracket with bolts, and the square steel pipe is set at the top of the roof hook with bolts.
[0010] To further optimize the technical solution, the hook is mounted on the square steel pipe by bolts.
[0011] To further optimize the technical solution, the adhesive backing is EPDM tape.
[0012] The technological advancements achieved by this utility model are as follows, due to the adoption of the above technical solutions.
[0013] This utility model provides an installation structure compatible with various photovoltaic tile types. It is simple in structure, convenient to install, low in cost, and applicable to photovoltaic tiles of different sizes. A horizontal square steel pipe is set on the roof as a support. The top of the lower photovoltaic tile is fixed by hooks, and the bottom of the upper photovoltaic tile is supported, thus fixing the photovoltaic tile.

[0019] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0020] An installation structure compatible with multiple photovoltaic tile types, combined with Figures 1 to 4As shown, it includes an L-shaped bracket 2 installed on the roof 1, a roof hook 4 installed on the L-shaped bracket 2, a square steel pipe 5 installed horizontally on the top side of the roof hook 4, and a hook 6 installed on the other side of the square steel pipe 5. The hook 6 is used to support the upper photovoltaic tile 7 and fix the lower photovoltaic tile 8.
[0021] L-shaped bracket 2 is fixed to roof 1 by bolts 3. Roof hook 4 is fixed to the top of L-shaped bracket 2 by bolts 3. Square steel pipe 5 is set at the top of roof hook 4 by bolts 3. Hook 6 is set on square steel pipe 5 by bolts 3. The installation structure is fixed and connected by bolts, which is convenient for installation, low in cost, and effectively reduces the installation cost of photovoltaic tiles.
[0022] The hook 6 has a Z-shaped structure, with both ends of the hook 6 being designed as folded hooks. The lower end of the hook 6 is hooked onto the middle section of the square steel pipe 5. The upper photovoltaic tile 7 is inserted into the folded end of the upper end of the hook 6. The folded height of the lower end of the hook 6 is greater than the combined height of the square steel pipe 5 and the photovoltaic tile. The folded height of the upper end of the hook 6 is greater than the thickness of the photovoltaic tile. The lower photovoltaic tile 8 is inserted between the folded end of the lower end of the hook 6 and the square steel pipe 5 to support the upper photovoltaic tile and fix the lower photovoltaic tile, thereby achieving the fixation of the photovoltaic tile.
[0023] The upper and lower folding ends of the hook 6 are both equipped with adhesive backing 9 to fix the photovoltaic tile. The adhesive backing is EPDM with adhesive backing, which can fix the photovoltaic tile by sticking. The installation position of the photovoltaic tile is not limited by the fixing holes, which facilitates the installation and fixing of the photovoltaic tile.
[0024] Water-stop strips are installed at the connection between the upper and lower photovoltaic tiles and at the connection between adjacent photovoltaic tiles. The water-stop strips include longitudinal water-stop strips 10 and transverse water-stop strips 11. The longitudinal water-stop strips 10 are installed between two adjacent photovoltaic tiles with adhesive backing, and the transverse water-stop strips 11 are installed between the upper and lower photovoltaic tiles with adhesive backing to prevent rainwater from entering the interior of the photovoltaic tiles.
[0025] In this invention, when installing photovoltaic tiles, an L-shaped bracket is fixed to the roof with bolts, then a roof hook is fixed to the L-shaped bracket, and a square steel pipe is horizontally fixed to the top of the L-shaped bracket. Finally, a hook is fixed to the square steel pipe with bolts, with the upper fold-back end of the hook facing the lower part of the roof. Adhesive is then applied between the upper and lower fold-back ends of the hook and the square steel pipe. The upper photovoltaic tile is inserted into the upper fold-back end of the hook for fixing, and the lower photovoltaic tile is inserted into the lower fold-back end of the hook and fixed between it and the square steel pipe, thus completing the installation of the photovoltaic tiles.
