Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic bracket technology, specifically to a guide rail clamp for photovoltaic brackets. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the solar photovoltaic industry, the installation efficiency and structural stability of photovoltaic support systems have become important research directions in the engineering field. Traditional photovoltaic support systems usually use C-shaped, U-shaped, or groove-shaped profile rails as the main support structure. Existing clamps are mostly designed for profiles with specific cross-sections. For example, open groove-shaped rails need to be used with fasteners such as bolts and nuts. When round tubes are used as the main support material, traditional clamps are difficult to achieve reliable clamping through structural deformation. Additional adapters or custom-made special-shaped clamps are required, which leads to complicated installation procedures and increased costs. In order to address the above problems, this utility model proposes a guide rail clamp for photovoltaic supports with a simple structure, easy installation, and good stability. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention provides a guide rail clamp for photovoltaic brackets, which can effectively solve the above problems.

[0004] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0005] A guide rail clamp for a photovoltaic mounting system includes:

[0006] The fixture body includes a connecting part at the top and a first clamping part at the bottom. The connecting part is used to connect with the photovoltaic panel pressing block, and a snap-fit ​​part is also provided below the connecting part.

[0007] The clamp sub-plate includes a snap-fit ​​connector at the top and a second clamping part at the bottom. The snap-fit ​​connector is detachably connected to the snap-fit ​​part. The snap-fit ​​connector is inserted into the snap-fit ​​part along its side end face. The clamp body and the clamp sub-plate are fixed and locked together by bolts. Both the first clamping part and the second clamping part are arc-shaped.

[0008] The fixture subplate is provided with at least one elongated slot, and the fixture body is provided with a threaded hole corresponding to the elongated slot. The bolt passes through the elongated slot and connects to the threaded hole.

[0009] As a further improvement, the fixture body is provided with a protrusion, and the threaded hole is located on the protrusion.

[0010] As a further improvement, the protrusion is provided with a first positioning groove.

[0011] As a further improvement, the fixture subplate is provided with a second positioning groove.

[0012] As a further improvement, both the first clamping part and the second clamping part are provided with a number of ribs on their inner sides.

[0013] As a further improvement, the fixture body has a through hole located below the connecting part.

[0014] As a further improvement, support portions are also provided on both sides of the connecting portion.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] Both the first and second clamping parts adopt a double arc clamping structure to match the arc surface of the round tube. Threaded holes are directly provided on the main body of the clamp, so there is no need to use nuts and bolts for locking during installation. You only need to tighten the bolts directly. This makes it easier for installers to carry more tools when working at heights, which brings great convenience to high-altitude operations and improves the efficiency of installation.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely to represent selected embodiments of this utility model.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0028] Reference Figure 1-4 As shown, a guide rail clamp for a photovoltaic bracket includes a clamp body 1. The clamp body 1 includes a connecting part 11 at the top and a first clamping part 12 at the bottom. The connecting part 11 is in the shape of a groove for connecting with a photovoltaic panel pressing block. A snap-fit ​​part 13 is also provided below the connecting part 11.

[0029] The clamp sub-plate 2 includes a snap connector 22 at the top and a second clamping part 21 at the bottom. The snap connector 22 is detachably connected to the snap-fit ​​part 13. The snap connector 22 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​part 13 along the side end face and can be flipped up and down to facilitate the opening of the angle between the clamp body 1 and the clamp sub-plate 2 and then placed on the side of the round tube. The clamp body 1 and the clamp sub-plate 2 are fixed and locked by bolts 3. The first clamping part 12 and the second clamping part 21 are both arc-shaped and can wrap and clamp the side of the round tube.

[0030] The fixture sub-plate 2 is provided with at least one long slot 23, and the fixture body 1 is provided with a threaded hole 141 corresponding to the long slot 23. The bolt 3 passes through the long slot 23 and connects with the threaded hole 141. During the bolt 3 tightening process, the fixture sub-plate 2 flips towards the fixture body 1. The long slot 23 is provided to facilitate the bolt 3 to avoid during the tightening process.

[0031] Specifically, in order to increase the depth of the threaded hole 141 and strengthen its connection strength, a protrusion 14 is provided on the fixture body 1, and the threaded hole 141 is located on the protrusion 14.

[0032] Specifically, the fixture body 1 is usually made of profile extrusion molding process. In order to facilitate the positioning and processing of the threaded hole 141, a first positioning groove 142 is provided on the protrusion 14 along the length direction.

[0033] Specifically, consistent with the main body of the fixture 1, in order to facilitate the processing and positioning of the long slot hole 23 and improve its processing efficiency, the fixture sub-plate 2 is provided with a second positioning groove 24 along the length direction, which is formed during the extrusion process.

[0034] Specifically, since the width of the connecting part 11 is relatively large, its shape transitions downwards and the width decreases, with a transition area in the middle. In order to reduce its overall weight, the fixture body 1 has a through hole 15 located below the connecting part 11, which can save materials.

[0035] Specifically, in order to better support the photovoltaic panel and provide a larger support area at the bottom of the photovoltaic panel to improve the stability of the structure, support parts 16 are also provided on both sides of the connection part 11.

[0036] Specifically, refer to Figure 5-6 As shown, in order to enable the first clamping part 12 and the second clamping part 21 to have greater friction when clamped on the round tube and to prevent rotation and slippage, the inner sides of the first clamping part 12 and the second clamping part 21 are provided with equidistant ribs 4. The height of the ribs 4 is 0.5-1mm, and the cross section of the ribs 4 can be triangular.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
