Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic module mounting pads, and in particular relates to a mounting pad suitable for different photovoltaic modules. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the photovoltaic industry, the sizes and specifications of photovoltaic modules on the market are becoming increasingly diverse. During the construction of photovoltaic power plants, different sizes of photovoltaic modules require different installation structures. Traditional photovoltaic module installation methods are typically designed for modules of specific sizes, lacking flexibility in purlin opening positions. When dealing with photovoltaic modules of various sizes, customized purlin openings are often necessary, which not only increases installation costs and construction difficulty but also extends the installation period. Moreover, traditional mounting blocks, due to structural design limitations, are prone to slippage after fixing the photovoltaic modules, leading to unstable installation and affecting the safety and power generation efficiency of the entire photovoltaic system.
[0003] Therefore, it is essential to invent a mounting pad suitable for different photovoltaic modules. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a mounting pad suitable for different photovoltaic modules, comprising a photovoltaic bracket purlin, an elongated hole, a mounting pad, a sliding notch, a photovoltaic module clamping block, connecting bolts, and fastening nuts. The photovoltaic bracket purlin has a through-hole, and the mounting pad slides into the elongated hole on the photovoltaic bracket purlin via its own sliding notch. Both the mounting pad and the photovoltaic module clamping block have through-holes allowing the connecting bolts to pass through. The fastening nuts are tightened onto the connecting bolts to mount the photovoltaic module clamping block and the mounting pad together. The photovoltaic module clamping block is used to fix the photovoltaic module.
[0005] Preferably, the elongated hole on the photovoltaic support purlin is divided into an inlet and a sliding part, and the size of the inlet is larger than the size of the sliding part.
[0006] Preferably, the inlet of the elongated hole allows the insertion of the mounting pad, wherein the sliding notches on both sides below the mounting pad can slide and engage with the sliding portion of the elongated hole, and allow lateral movement along the sliding portion of the elongated hole.
[0007] Preferably, the mounting pad has a groove in the lower center, which allows the connecting bolt to be tightened together with the lower end of the connecting bolt within this groove.
[0008] Preferably, the mounting pad that is slidably installed in the elongated hole is restricted by a limiting block, and multiple limiting blocks are provided, with the limiting blocks having a "T" shaped structure.
[0009] Preferably, the upper surface of the limiting block can provide a supporting surface for the lower end of the photovoltaic module pressing block, the upper end of the photovoltaic module pressing block is used to press the frame of the photovoltaic module, and the photovoltaic module pressing block is in an inverted "L" shape.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] This invention solves the problem of inconsistent purlin hole positions caused by different module sizes on the market. It allows the same installation structure to be adapted to various photovoltaic modules, greatly improving the versatility and flexibility of installation, and reducing installation costs and construction difficulty.
[0012] This utility model relates to a mounting pad and a photovoltaic module clamping block, which are tightly installed together using connecting bolts and fastening nuts. The photovoltaic module clamping block presses down on the photovoltaic module frame, firmly fixing the photovoltaic module in place. Simultaneously, multiple "T"-shaped limiting blocks are installed within the elongated holes to restrict the sliding of the mounting pad, providing a supporting surface for the photovoltaic module clamping block. This further enhances the stability of the entire installation structure, effectively preventing the pad from slipping after the photovoltaic module is fixed, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the photovoltaic system, and improving power generation efficiency.
[0013] The long hole of this utility model is divided into an inlet part and a sliding part. The inlet part is larger than the sliding part, which facilitates the insertion of the mounting pad. A groove is set in the lower middle of the mounting pad, which allows the connecting bolt to be tightened with the fastening nut in the groove. This design not only makes the installation of the connecting bolt more convenient, but also effectively avoids the connecting bolt protruding and affecting the installation of other components or causing safety hazards, further improving the rationality and practicality of the entire installation structure.

[0021] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 As shown:
[0022] This utility model provides a mounting pad suitable for different photovoltaic modules, including a photovoltaic bracket purlin 1, an elongated hole 2, a mounting pad 3, a sliding notch 4, a photovoltaic module pressing block 5, a connecting bolt 6, and a fastening nut 7. The photovoltaic bracket purlin 1 has an elongated hole 2 through it. The mounting pad 3 slides with the elongated hole 2 on the photovoltaic bracket purlin 1 through its own sliding notch 4. Both the mounting pad 3 and the photovoltaic module pressing block 5 have holes through them that allow the connecting bolt 6 to pass through. The fastening nut 7 is tightened on the connecting bolt 6 to install the photovoltaic module pressing block 5 and the mounting pad 3 together. The photovoltaic module pressing block 5 is used to fix the photovoltaic module.
[0023] Furthermore, the photovoltaic support purlin 1 is typically made of high-strength steel or aluminum alloy to ensure sufficient strength and durability to support the photovoltaic modules. The elongated hole 2 through the photovoltaic support purlin 1 is divided into an inlet section and a sliding section. The inlet section is larger than the sliding section, a design that facilitates the insertion of the mounting pad 3. The inlet section and the sliding section can be a single, integrally formed structure, manufactured on the photovoltaic support purlin 1 using specific processing techniques, such as laser cutting or mechanical stamping.
[0024] Furthermore, the inlet size of the elongated hole 2 is designed to be large enough to allow the mounting pad 3 to be inserted smoothly. The sliding notches 4 on both sides of the mounting pad 3 form a sliding fit with the sliding part of the elongated hole 2. After the mounting pad 3 is inserted into the inlet, its position can be adjusted so that the sliding notches 4 align with the sliding part, allowing it to move laterally along the sliding part of the elongated hole 2. This sliding fit allows the mounting pad 3 to be positioned according to the installation requirements of different photovoltaic modules, improving installation flexibility.
[0025] Furthermore, a groove is provided in the lower center of the mounting pad 3, the size and shape of which are designed to match the connecting bolt 6. The connecting bolt 6 is generally made of high-strength carbon steel or stainless steel to ensure the stability of the connection. When installing the photovoltaic module clamping block 5, the connecting bolt 6 passes through the pre-drilled holes in the photovoltaic module clamping block 5 and the mounting pad 3, and is then tightened together with the nut at the lower end of the connecting bolt 6 in the groove in the lower center of the mounting pad 3. This design hides the connection part of the connecting bolt 6 in the groove, avoiding interference with other components or affecting the appearance of the connecting bolt 6, while also better protecting the connection part from external environmental corrosion.
[0026] Furthermore, the mounting pad 3, which is slidably installed within the elongated hole 2, is restrained by multiple limiting blocks 8. The limiting blocks 8 are typically made of the same or similar material as the photovoltaic bracket purlin 1, such as steel or aluminum alloy, to ensure good compatibility and strength matching with the photovoltaic bracket purlin 1. The limiting blocks 8 have a "T"-shaped structure, which allows them to be securely installed within the elongated hole 2. The limiting blocks 8 slide within the elongated hole 2 to restrict the lateral movement of the mounting pad 3. When the mounting pad 3 slides to a certain position within the elongated hole 2, the limiting blocks 8 prevent further sliding, thus limiting the position of the mounting pad 3 and ensuring that the mounting pad 3 is properly positioned to fix the photovoltaic module.
[0027] Furthermore, the upper surface of the limiting block 8 provides a supporting surface for the lower end of the photovoltaic module pressing block 5. The photovoltaic module pressing block 5 is generally made of metal and has an inverted "L" shape. When the photovoltaic module pressing block 5 is installed on the mounting pad 3 using the connecting bolts 6 and fastening nuts, its lower end rests on the upper surface of the limiting block 8. The limiting block 8 provides stable support for the photovoltaic module pressing block 5, ensuring that the photovoltaic module pressing block 5 can be evenly stressed when pressing the photovoltaic module frame. The upper end of the photovoltaic module pressing block 5 is used to press the frame of the photovoltaic module. Through the tightening force of the connecting bolts 6 and fastening nuts, the photovoltaic module is firmly fixed to the mounting structure.
[0028] The working principle is as follows: First, in the early stages of photovoltaic module installation, due to the diverse sizes of photovoltaic modules on the market, the position of the mounting pad 3 needs to be adjusted according to the actual module size. The elongated hole 2 on the photovoltaic bracket purlin 1 is designed with a large inlet, allowing the mounting pad 3 to be easily inserted. After insertion, the sliding notches 4 on both sides below the mounting pad 3 align with the sliding part of the elongated hole 2, at which point the mounting pad 3 can move laterally along the sliding part. During this process, installers can flexibly adjust the mounting pad 3 to a suitable position according to the actual size of the photovoltaic module to adapt to the installation requirements of different modules, thus solving the problem of inconsistent purlin hole positions caused by different module sizes.
[0029] After the mounting pad 3 is adjusted to the appropriate position, the photovoltaic module clamping block 5 is installed. The connecting bolt 6 passes through the holes in the photovoltaic module clamping block 5 and the mounting pad 3 in sequence, and is then tightened with the fastening nut 7 in the groove in the lower middle of the mounting pad 3. Because the size and shape of the groove are adapted to the connecting bolt 6, the connection part of the connecting bolt 6 is hidden in the groove. This avoids the connecting bolt 6 protruding and affecting other components or appearance, and also protects the connection part from external environmental corrosion.
[0030] After the mounting pad 3 is adjusted, insert an appropriate number of limit blocks 8. The limit blocks 8 will prevent it from sliding further. The limit blocks 8 serve to restrict the position of the mounting pad 3, ensuring that the mounting pad 3 is fixed in the appropriate position and preventing it from sliding randomly during subsequent use, thereby ensuring the stability of the entire installation structure.
[0031] The limiting block 8 provides stable support for the photovoltaic module pressing block 5, ensuring that the photovoltaic module pressing block 5 is evenly stressed when pressing the photovoltaic module frame. Installers tighten the fastening nuts 7 on the connecting bolts 6 to generate sufficient tightening force, firmly pressing the photovoltaic module pressing block 5 against the photovoltaic module frame, thus securely fixing the photovoltaic module to the mounting structure and completing the entire photovoltaic module installation process. This ensures the stability and safety of the photovoltaic module during use.
[0032] Any technical solution that achieves the above-mentioned technical effects by utilizing the technical solution described in this utility model, or by designing a similar technical solution inspired by the technical solution described in this utility model, falls within the protection scope of this utility model.
