Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic module technology, specifically a current-guiding photovoltaic module pressing block. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic panels are often placed in large, sunny areas such as rooftops or plazas. In rainy weather, rainwater will accumulate at the bottom edge of the photovoltaic panel because the edges are higher than the panel surface. This will affect the efficiency of the photovoltaic panel in absorbing solar energy and also affect its lifespan. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the drainage performance of the mounting blocks to discharge rainwater.

[0003] In existing technologies, such as the water-guiding block disclosed in publication number CN217063656U, the groove of the photovoltaic module water-guiding block body connects the water accumulation of two modules. However, the groove itself has a small upward slope, which reduces the water-guiding function. Furthermore, the main water-guiding function of the water-guiding block comes from the water-guiding strip below the block that fixes the position of the module. The block and the module need to be tightly fitted to generate clamping force when installed. However, the water-guiding strip reduces the contact area between the module and the block, which greatly reduces the role of the block in fixing the module. Thirdly, the water-guiding block body of this design has a vertical water-guiding groove, but the C-shaped lower flange at the lower position of the clamp fixing the module is a horizontal protrusion, which restricts the water-guiding function and greatly reduces the water-guiding capacity. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a water-conducting photovoltaic module clamping block, which has the advantage of rapid water conduction and solves the problem that the clamping block in the existing technology restricts the water conduction function, resulting in a significant decrease in water conduction capacity.

[0005] To achieve the aforementioned goal of rapid water diversion, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a photovoltaic module pressure block, comprising a pressure block body, an installation hole on the bottom surface of the pressure block body, first connectors fixedly connected to both the left and right ends of the pressure block body, first water guides fixedly connected to opposite sides of the two first connectors, pressure balance holes opened inside the two first water guides, water guide holes opened at the short side of the two first water guides, and water guide grooves communicating with the water guide holes opened at the bottom of the two first water guides.

[0006] Preferably, the pressing block body has an L-shaped structure.

[0007] Preferably, the pressing block body has a U-shaped structure.

[0008] Preferably, a second connector is fixedly connected to each of the two first water guides on opposite sides, and a second water guide is fixedly connected to each of the two second connectors on opposite sides.

[0009] Preferably, the side and bottom of the pressing block body near the photovoltaic panel are provided with interconnected guide grooves.

[0010] Preferably, the pressing block body is an aluminum alloy block.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a current-guiding photovoltaic module clamping block, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] This photovoltaic module clamping block, consisting of a clamping body that presses against the frame of the photovoltaic panel, secures the panel to the purlin via mounting holes and threaded connections. During rain, water accumulates at the lower, tilted area of ​​the photovoltaic panel, simultaneously washing away dust. The water guide, through its drainage holes, disrupts the surface tension of the accumulated water, creating a siphon effect that directs the water through drainage channels to the outside of the module. Pressure balancing holes ensure smooth water outflow without interruption. The clamping block itself also features drainage channels to accelerate water removal, especially when there is significant water accumulation. This water-guiding photovoltaic module clamp is made of one-piece die-cast aluminum alloy profile. The material itself has certain plasticity, and the angle of the water guide can be adjusted according to the actual site conditions to adapt to the height difference of different frame types. The arched design of the connector ensures the overall strength of the water-guiding photovoltaic module clamp. At the same time, the installation of the new water-guiding photovoltaic module clamp is the same as that of the traditional clamp, which uses bolt installation without creating new installation steps. While increasing the water-guiding function of the photovoltaic module, it simplifies the installation steps and facilitates implementation. As a result, this clamp achieves the purpose of rapid water guidance and solves the problem that the clamp in the existing technology restricts the water guidance function and greatly reduces the water guidance capacity.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Example 1, please refer to Figure 2-4 A flow-guiding photovoltaic module pressing block includes a pressing block body 1. First connectors 2 are fixedly connected to both ends of the pressing block body 1. First water guides 3 are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the two first connectors 2. Pressure balance holes 4 are opened inside the two first water guides 3. Water guide holes 5 are opened at the short side of the two first water guides 3. Water guide grooves 6 communicating with the water guide holes 5 are opened at the bottom of the two first water guides 3. The pressing block body 1 has an L-shaped structure. Mounting holes 10 are opened on the ground of the pressing block body 1. Flow guide grooves 7 communicating with each other are opened on the side and bottom of the pressing block body 1 near the photovoltaic panel. The L-shaped pressing block body 1 is used as the lower edge of a photovoltaic panel matrix. Only one side of the L-shaped pressing block body 1 is connected to the photovoltaic panel 8. The pressing block body 1 is an aluminum alloy block.

[0023] Example 2, please refer to 5-7, a current-guiding photovoltaic module pressing block includes a pressing block body 1, an installation hole 10 is provided on the bottom surface of the pressing block body 1, a first connector 2 is fixedly connected to both the left and right ends of the pressing block body 1, a first water guide 3 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two first connectors 2, a pressure balance hole 4 is provided inside the two first water guides 3, a water guide hole 5 is provided at one short side of the two first water guides 3, and a water guide groove 6 communicating with the water guide hole 5 is provided at the bottom of the two first water guides 3. The pressing block body 1 has a U-shaped structure, and the U-shaped pressing block body 1 is a component connecting photovoltaic panels. The two sides of the U-shaped pressing block are fixedly connected to two photovoltaic panels 8 respectively.

[0024] Example 3: A current-guiding photovoltaic module clamping block includes a clamping block body 1. The bottom surface of the clamping block body 1 has mounting holes 10. First connectors 2 are fixedly connected to both ends of the clamping block body 1. First water guides 3 are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the two first connectors 2. Pressure balance holes 4 are formed inside each of the two first water guides 3. Water guide holes 5 are formed at the short side of each of the two first water guides 3. Water guide grooves 6 communicating with the water guide holes 5 are formed at the bottom of each of the two first water guides 3. Second connectors are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the two first water guides 3. Second water guides are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the two second connectors. When there is significant dust accumulation or a large demand for water guidance, multiple water guides are connected side-by-side through multiple connectors, i.e., two water guides are installed on each side of one clamping block body 1, for a total of four water guides, to increase the water guidance capacity.

[0025] In summary, this photovoltaic module clamping block, by setting a clamping block body 1, presses the clamping block body 1 onto the frame 9 of the photovoltaic panel 8. The clamping block body 1 is provided with mounting holes 10 and uses threaded connections to fix the photovoltaic panel 8 to the purlin. When it rains, water will accumulate at the lower part of the tilted photovoltaic panel 8. At the same time, the rainwater will wash dust to the lower part of the tilted module, causing dust accumulation. At this time, the water guide will break the surface tension of the water accumulation through the water guide holes 5, creating a siphon effect, and draining the water through the water guide channel 6 to the outside of the module. At the same time, the water guide is provided with pressure balance holes 4 to ensure smooth water flow and prevent flow interruption. The clamping block body is also provided with a flow guide channel 7, which can accelerate the drainage of water when there is a lot of water. The water-guiding photovoltaic module clamp is made of aluminum alloy profile die-cast in one piece. The material itself has certain plasticity, and the angle of the water guide can be adjusted according to the actual site conditions to adapt to the height difference of different frame types. The arched design of the connector ensures the overall strength of the water-guiding photovoltaic module clamp. At the same time, the installation of the new water-guiding photovoltaic module clamp is the same as that of the traditional clamp, which is bolted, without creating new installation steps. While increasing the water guiding function of the photovoltaic module, it simplifies the installation steps and facilitates implementation.
