Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic equipment technology, specifically to a photovoltaic module installation bracket structure for TPO flexible roof factory buildings. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional photovoltaic (PV) power station support systems typically rely on the robust structure of the roof for fixed installation. However, TPO flexible roofs differ from rigid roofs; their material is relatively soft, resulting in poor structural stability and insufficient anchoring force to support traditional PV power station support systems. This is especially true for large-span, large-area TPO flexible roof factory buildings, where the large roof area and structural span generate significant lifting loads during PV module installation. Using traditional installation methods not only fails to ensure the stability and safety of the support system but may also damage the TPO flexible roof, affecting its waterproofing and insulation properties, thereby shortening the building's lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a photovoltaic module installation support structure for TPO flexible roof factory buildings, which solves the technical problems of insufficient load-bearing capacity and poor stability of existing support structures when facing the installation of large-span photovoltaic modules.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a photovoltaic module installation bracket structure for a TPO flexible roof factory building, including a roof, on which multiple photovoltaic reserved supports are fixed, and the multiple photovoltaic reserved supports are arranged in two horizontal rows. Between two photovoltaic reserved supports in the same row, a TPO photovoltaic support is installed on the roof. The TPO photovoltaic support corresponds to the position of the main beam purlin on the inner side of the roof. A supporting purlin is erected between the two photovoltaic reserved supports and the TPO photovoltaic support. Multiple guide rails arranged in a longitudinal row are installed on the supporting purlins. Multiple fixing components are installed on the guide rails. Photovoltaic modules are installed between adjacent fixing components.

[0005] Preferably, the photovoltaic reserved support includes a column installed on the roof, and a purlin is installed on the top of the column.

[0006] Preferably, the TPO photovoltaic support includes a TPO support one welded to the roof by hot air, a purlin support two installed on the TPO support one, and a connector installed on the top of the purlin support two by C-shaped steel.

[0007] Preferably, both the purlin bracket and the connector are fixedly connected to the supporting purlin.

[0008] Preferably, the fixing component includes a stud fixed to the guide rail, a pressure block sleeved on the top of the stud, a nut threaded to the top of the stud on the inner side of the pressure block, and the pressure block presses against the edge of the photovoltaic module surface.

[0009] Preferably, the pressure block on the guide rail has two pressure edges, and the pressure block at both ends of the guide rail has one pressure edge, and the inner side of the pressure edge is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0010] Preferably, the TPO photovoltaic support further includes a second TPO support welded to the roof by hot air, an integrated bracket fixedly connected to the second TPO support, a third purlin bracket installed on the integrated bracket, and the third purlin bracket fixedly connected to the supporting purlin.

[0011] By employing the above technical solution, this utility model provides a photovoltaic module mounting bracket structure for TPO flexible roof factory buildings, which has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. This photovoltaic module installation support structure for TPO flexible roof factory buildings adopts a structure of photovoltaic pre-reserved supports, supporting purlins, and guide rails to arrange photovoltaic modules according to the characteristics of TPO flexible roofs. This effectively solves the problem of direct contact between photovoltaic modules and roof, ensuring that the flexible roof is not damaged. It can both protect the roof waterproof structure and achieve the roof insulation function. Moreover, the TPO photovoltaic support is set between two sets of photovoltaic pre-reserved supports, which can also play a good load-bearing role when installing large-span photovoltaic modules. It has the advantages of strong load-bearing capacity and good stability.

[0013] 2. The photovoltaic module installation bracket structure for the TPO flexible roof factory building can effectively transfer the photovoltaic load to the main beam of the roof because the TPO photovoltaic support corresponds to the position of the purlin of the main beam on the inner side of the roof, thereby reducing the concentrated load on the roof and further improving the load-bearing capacity of the photovoltaic module.

[0028] 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.

[0029] With the increasing global demand for renewable energy, solar photovoltaic power generation, as a clean and sustainable energy form, has been widely applied and promoted. In the industrial sector, installing photovoltaic modules 7 on factory roofs 1 for photovoltaic power generation can not only effectively utilize idle roof space 1 and reduce energy costs for enterprises, but also reduce dependence on traditional fossil fuels, achieving the goals of energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0030] Due to the existing technology's shortcomings in terms of insufficient load-bearing capacity and poor stability when installing large-span photovoltaic modules, please refer to... Figures 1-11The photovoltaic module installation support structure for TPO flexible roof factory buildings provided in this embodiment can also play a good role in bearing when installing large-span photovoltaic modules 7, with the advantages of strong load-bearing capacity and good stability. The structure includes a roof 1, on which multiple photovoltaic reserved supports 2 are fixed, and the multiple photovoltaic reserved supports 2 are arranged in two rows horizontally. Between two photovoltaic reserved supports 2 in the same row, there is a TPO photovoltaic support 3 installed on the roof 1. The TPO photovoltaic support 3 corresponds to the position of the main beam purlin 8 on the inner side of the roof 1. A supporting purlin is erected between two photovoltaic reserved supports 2 and TPO photovoltaic supports 3. The purlin 4 has multiple longitudinally arranged guide rails 5, and multiple fixing components 6 are installed on the guide rails 5. Photovoltaic modules 7 are installed between adjacent fixing components 6. During installation, the TPO photovoltaic support 3 is aligned with the adjacent photovoltaic reserved supports 2 on the left and right sides and installed on the roof 1. Then, the support beam is installed on the two photovoltaic reserved supports 2 and the TPO photovoltaic support 3. The above steps are repeated and multiple rows of support purlins 4 are installed. Then, multiple longitudinally arranged guide rails 5 are installed on the support purlins 4. Finally, under the action of the fixing components 6, the photovoltaic modules 7 are fixed and installed on the guide rails 5.

[0031] Furthermore, the photovoltaic pre-installed support 2 includes a column 201 installed on the roof 1, and a purlin bracket 202 is installed on the top of the column 201; the photovoltaic pre-installed support 2 is built together with the roof 1, and the top of the column 201 has the same tilt angle as the roof 1 (reference). Figure 6 This allows the photovoltaic system to be installed along the slope of the original flexible roof 1 structure without damaging the original flexible roof 1.

[0032] For large-span, large-area TPO flexible roof 1 factory buildings, due to the large area and structural span of roof 1, the installation of photovoltaic modules 7 will generate a heavy hoisting load. This not only makes it difficult to ensure the stability and safety of the support system, but may also damage the TPO flexible roof 1, affecting its waterproofing, heat insulation, and other performance characteristics. Therefore, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The TPO photovoltaic support 3 includes a TPO support 301 welded to the roof 1 by hot air welding. A purlin support 302 is installed on the TPO support 301. A connector 304 is installed on the top of the purlin support 302 via a C-shaped steel 303. The TPO support 301 can be installed on the roof 1 without damaging the roof 1 structure. With the help of the purlin support 302, the C-shaped steel 303 and the connector 304, it can be at the same height as the photovoltaic reserved supports 2 on both sides, thus supporting the middle position of the purlin 4. It can also play a good load-bearing role when installing large-span photovoltaic modules 7.

[0033] Furthermore, both the purlin 202 and the connector 304 are fixedly connected to the supporting purlin 4, thus realizing the connection and fixation between the TPO photovoltaic support 3 and the supporting purlin 4.

[0034] When installing the photovoltaic module 7 onto the guide rail 5, it is necessary to secure the photovoltaic module 7. For this purpose, please refer to... Figure 7 and Figure 8 The fixing component 6 includes a stud 601 fixed to the guide rail 5. A pressure block 603 is fitted on the top of the stud 601. A nut 602 threaded to the top of the stud 601 is provided on the inner side of the pressure block 603. The pressure block 603 is pressed against the edge of the surface of the photovoltaic module 7. The pressure block 603 is fixed by the thread action between the nut 602 and the stud 601. The pressure block 603 presses the photovoltaic module 7 onto the guide rail 5 to achieve the installation and fixing of the photovoltaic module 7.

[0035] Furthermore, the pressure block 603 on the guide rail 5 has two pressure edges, and the pressure block 603 at both ends of the guide rail 5 has one pressure edge, and the inner side of the pressure edge is provided with anti-slip texture. When there are photovoltaic modules 7 on both sides of the pressure block 603, the two pressure edges of the pressure block 603 can just press and fix the photovoltaic modules 7 on both sides. However, at both ends of the guide rail 5, the pressure block 603 only fixes one photovoltaic module 7. Therefore, it is sufficient to fix the photovoltaic module 7 by one pressure edge on one side. The anti-slip texture on the inner side of the pressure edge can improve the fixing effect of the photovoltaic module 7 and reduce its slippage.

[0036] At the end of the supporting purlin 4, due to the long span, the end of the supporting purlin 4 may become unstable. To address this issue, the TPO photovoltaic support 3 also includes a second TPO support 9 welded to the roof 1 by hot air. An integrated bracket 10 is fixed to the second TPO support 9, and a third purlin bracket 11 is installed on the integrated bracket 10. The third purlin bracket 11 is fixed to the supporting purlin 4. Another type of TPO photovoltaic support 3 is also installed at the end of the supporting purlin 4. After the second TPO support 9 is connected to the roof 1, the end of the supporting purlin 4 is installed and fixed by the integrated bracket 10 and the third purlin bracket 11 to improve the stability of the overall structure.

[0037] It should be noted that the terms “comprising,” “including,” or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
