[0037] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.
[0038] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes an installation apparatus 100 for a photovoltaic module 200 according to the present application, comprising: a fixing structure 10 for fixing the photovoltaic module 200; a clamping structure 20, wherein the clamping structure 20 and the fixing structure 10 are arranged along a first direction, the clamping structure 20 including two clamping plates 21, each clamping plate 21 having its end facing the fixing structure 10 connected to the fixing structure 10 along the first direction, the two clamping plates 21 being opposite each other along a second direction to form a first assembly space 22 between the two clamping plates 21 for assembling a load-bearing cable 300, the two clamping plates 21 being able to move closer or further apart from each other along the second direction to allow the clamping structure 20 to be in a locked state and an unlocked state, the first direction and the second direction intersecting.
[0039] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The X direction is the first direction. Figure 1 In the diagram, the Y direction is the second direction, and the first and second directions intersect. The fixing structure 10 is used to fix the photovoltaic module 200. In some embodiments of this application, the fixing structure 10 can fix the photovoltaic module 200 by snap-fitting or by clamping. This application uses the fixing structure 10 fixing the photovoltaic module 200 by both clamping and snap-fitting as an example for illustration.
[0040] The clamping structure 20 and the fixing structure 10 are arranged along a first direction. The clamping structure 20 includes two clamping plates 21. Along the first direction, the end of each clamping plate 21 facing the fixing structure 10 is connected to the fixing structure 10. In some embodiments of this application, the clamping plate 21 and the fixing structure 10 can be fixedly connected by welding, or the clamping plate 21 and the fixing structure 10 can be integrally formed. However, this application is not limited to this. The clamping plate 21 and the fixing structure 10 can also be fixedly connected by other means, as long as the end of each clamping plate 21 facing the fixing structure 10 is connected to the fixing structure 10. This application uses the integral forming of the clamping plate 21 and the fixing structure 10 as an example. This arrangement can integrate the fixing structure 10 and the clamping structure 20 into one unit, which can reduce the number of parts of the installation device 100, thereby reducing the installation complexity of the installation device 100 and improving the installation efficiency of the photovoltaic module 200.
[0041] Two clamping plates 21 are positioned opposite each other along a second direction to form a first assembly space 22 between them for assembling the load-bearing cable 300. The two clamping plates 21 can move closer or further apart along the second direction to keep the clamping structure 20 in a locked or unlocked state. When the two clamping plates 21 are close together and locked, they can tightly clamp the load-bearing cable 300, preventing it from slipping or falling off during use. The shape and size of the clamping plates 21 of the clamping structure 20 are designed to correspond to the shape and size of the load-bearing cable 300, so that the clamping structure 20 can accommodate load-bearing cables 300 of different diameters or sizes. By adjusting the distance between the two clamping plates 21, the load-bearing cable 300 can be easily assembled or disassembled without the need for additional tools or complicated operating steps, simplifying the installation process and reducing the time and labor costs required during installation.
[0042] The intersection of the first and second directions makes the clamp structure 20 and the fixing structure 10 more compact in spatial layout, enabling the assembly and fixing of the load-bearing cable 300 and photovoltaic module 200 within a limited space, thus improving space utilization. Furthermore, by directly fixing the photovoltaic module 200 to the load-bearing cable 300 through the fixing structure 10 and clamp structure 20, the use of bolts is eliminated, avoiding the processes of overhead bolt insertion and nut tightening, reducing the labor intensity of photovoltaic module 200 installation, and improving installation efficiency.
[0043] According to the photovoltaic module 200 mounting device 100 of this application, the photovoltaic module 200 is fixedly mounted by a fixing structure 10. Each hoop 21 is connected to the fixing structure 10 at its end facing the end of the fixing structure 10. Two hoops 21 are opposite each other along a second direction to form a first assembly space 22 for assembling a load-bearing cable 300 between them. The two hoops 21 can move closer or further apart along the second direction to allow the clamping structure 20 to be in a locked or unlocked state, accommodating load-bearing cables 300 of different diameters or sizes. By adjusting the distance between the two hoops 21, the load-bearing cable 300 can be easily assembled or disassembled without the need for additional tools or complex operating procedures. This simplifies the installation process, reduces the time and labor costs required during installation, and eliminates the use of bolts, thus avoiding the processes of bending over to insert bolts and tighten nuts, reducing the labor intensity of installing the photovoltaic module 200 and improving installation efficiency.
[0044] According to one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the ends of the two hoop plates 21 that are away from the fixed structure 10 are spaced apart to form a first assembly notch 23 between the ends of the two hoop plates 21 that are away from the fixed structure 10. The first assembly notch 23 is adjacent to and connected to the first assembly space 22.
[0045] A first assembly notch 23 is formed between the ends of the two hoop plates 21 facing away from the fixed structure 10 for assembling the load-bearing cable 300. The first assembly notch 23 is adjacent to and connected to the first assembly space 22, allowing the first assembly space 22 to communicate with the outside world. This facilitates the assembly of the load-bearing cable 300 from the first assembly notch 23 into the first assembly space 22, and allows for easy observation and adjustment of the position of the load-bearing cable 300 during assembly, ensuring accuracy and precision. Furthermore, by precisely controlling the spacing of the two hoop plates 21 and the size of the first assembly notch 23, misalignment or displacement during assembly can be effectively prevented. The design of the two hoop plates 21 can distribute the stress acting on the fixed structure 10, improving the overall stability and load-bearing capacity of the structure. The connectivity between the first assembly notch 23 and the first assembly space 22 allows the load-bearing cable 300 to form a tighter and stronger connection with the fixed structure 10 after assembly, enhancing the connection strength.
[0046] According to one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mounting device 100 for the photovoltaic module 200 may further include: a fastening ring 30, wherein each hoop 21 has a bending structure 24 formed at the end away from the fixing structure 10, and the bending structure 24 bends outward along the second direction to form an assembly opening 25 in the corresponding hoop 21, and the fastening ring 30 can be fitted into the assembly opening 25 of the two hoops 21 to restrict the two hoops 21 from moving away from each other.
[0047] Each hoop 21 has a bent structure 24 at its end opposite to the fixed structure 10. Along the second direction, the bent structure 24 bends outwards towards the corresponding hoop 21 to form an assembly opening 25. A hook-and-loop fastener 30 is fitted into the assembly openings 25 of the two hoop 21s, locking them together and preventing them from moving away from each other. This securely fixes the load-bearing cable 300 to the clamping structure 20, preventing the hoop 21s from loosening or separating due to external factors (such as wind or vibration). Furthermore, the assembly and disassembly of the hook-and-loop fastener 30 is relatively simple and quick. Operators can easily install and disassemble the hook-and-loop fastener 30 without using complex tools or performing cumbersome procedures. This improves work efficiency, reduces installation costs, and makes the maintenance and replacement of the load-bearing cable 300 more convenient.
[0048] Furthermore, the bending structure 24 can be bent in an arc or in a straight line toward the outer side of the plate, so that the bending structure 24 can be constructed as an arc structure or a straight plate structure. In some embodiments of this application, both bending structures 24 can be constructed as arc structures, or both bending structures 24 can be constructed as straight plate structures, or one of the two bending structures 24 can be constructed as an arc structure and the other as a straight plate structure.
[0049] Specifically, when both bending structures 24 are constructed as arc structures and the curvature of the two arc structures is the same, the curvature of the arc structure can be smaller than the curvature of the semicircle, so that the hook and loop 30 can be assembled into the bending structure 24 through the assembly port 25. When assembling the hook and loop 30, the load-bearing cable 300 needs to be installed in the first assembly space 22 before the hook and loop 30 is assembled into the assembly port 25.
[0050] When both bent structures 24 are constructed as straight plates, the load-bearing cable 300 needs to be installed in the first assembly space 22, and then the two ends of the buckle ring 30 are respectively assembled into the corresponding assembly ports 25.
[0051] When both bent structures 24 are constructed as arc structures, and the curvatures of the two arc structures are inconsistent, the curvature of one arc structure can be greater than that of a semi-circular arc, and the curvature of the other arc structure can be less than that of a semi-circular arc. One end of the fastening ring 30 can be assembled into the assembly opening 25 formed by the arc structure with a curvature greater than that of a semi-circular arc before the load-bearing cable 300 is assembled. After the load-bearing cable 300 is assembled, the other end of the fastening ring 30 is assembled into the assembly opening 25 of the bent structure 24 with a curvature less than that of a semi-circular arc, so as to restrict the two hoop plates 21 from moving away from each other. Alternatively, the fastening ring 30 can be processed simultaneously with the arc structure with a curvature greater than that of a semi-circular arc to constrain the fastening ring 30 into the assembly opening 25 of the arc structure with a curvature greater than that of a semi-circular arc. After the load-bearing cable 300 is assembled into the first assembly space 22, the other end of the fastening ring 30 is assembled into the assembly opening 25 of the bent structure 24 of the straight plate structure, so as to restrict the two hoop plates 21 from moving away from each other.
[0052] When one of the two bent structures 24 is a straight plate structure and the other is an arc structure with an arc greater than a semicircle, one end of the fastener 30 can be fitted into the assembly opening 25 formed by the arc structure before the load-bearing cable 300 is assembled. After the load-bearing cable 300 is assembled, the other end of the fastener 30 is fitted into the assembly opening 25 of the straight plate bent structure 24 to restrict the two clamping plates 21 from moving away from each other. Alternatively, the fastener 30 can be processed simultaneously with the arc structure with an arc greater than a semicircle to constrain one end of the fastener 30 into the assembly opening 25 of the arc structure with an arc greater than a semicircle. After the load-bearing cable 300 is assembled into the first assembly space 22, the other end of the fastener 30 is fitted into the assembly opening 25 of the straight plate bent structure 24 to restrict the two clamping plates 21 from moving away from each other.
[0053] When one of the two bent structures 24 is a straight plate structure and the other is an arc structure with an arc radius less than a semicircle, the load-bearing cable 300 needs to be installed in the first assembly space 22, and then the two ends of the buckle ring 30 are respectively assembled into the corresponding assembly openings 25 to restrict the two hoop plates 21 from moving away from each other.
[0054] The shape and size of the bent structure 24 can be reasonably set according to the actual situation. In this application, both bent structures 24 are constructed as arc structures, and the curvature of the two arc structures is not the same. The curvature of one arc structure can be greater than the curvature of a semi-circular arc, and the curvature of the other arc structure is less than the curvature of a semi-circular arc. One end of the buckle ring 30 can be assembled into the assembly opening 25 formed by the arc structure with a curvature greater than a semi-circular arc before the load-bearing cable 300 is assembled. After the load-bearing cable 300 is assembled, the other end of the buckle ring 30 is assembled into the assembly opening 25 of the bent structure 24 with a curvature less than a semi-circular arc, so as to restrict the two hoop plates 21 from moving away from each other. Alternatively, the latch 30 can be machined simultaneously with an arc structure larger than a semicircle to constrain the latch 30 within the assembly opening 25 of the arc structure. After the load-bearing cable 300 is assembled into the first assembly space 22, the other end of the latch 30 is assembled into the assembly opening 25 of the bent structure 24 of the straight plate structure to prevent the two hoop plates 21 from moving away from each other. This is illustrated by example. This configuration simplifies the locking steps of the load-bearing cable 300, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the load-bearing cable 300.
[0055] According to one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the installation device 100 for photovoltaic module 200 may further include: a positioning structure 40, which is used to cooperate with two clamps 21 to fix the relative positions of the two clamps 21, thereby putting the clamp structure 20 in a locked state.
[0056] The positioning structure 40 ensures precise alignment of the two clamp plates 21 during installation, preventing misalignment and improving the installation accuracy of the load-bearing cable 300. It also effectively reduces the risk of loosening or displacement of the load-bearing cable 300 after installation, enhancing its stability. Furthermore, the positioning structure 40 simplifies the installation process of the clamp structure 20, eliminating the need for operators to spend extra time and effort adjusting the position of the clamp plates 21, thus achieving fast and efficient installation.
[0057] According to one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the positioning structure 40 may include: a first positioning part 41, a connecting part 42, and a second positioning part 43. The first positioning part 41 and the second positioning part 43 are opposite to each other and spaced apart to form a second assembly space 44 for assembling two hoop plates 21 between the first positioning part 41 and the second positioning part 43. The first positioning part 41 and the second positioning part 43 are located on the side of the connecting part 42 facing the fixing structure 10, and the connecting part 42 connects the first positioning part 41 and the second positioning part 43.
[0058] The design of the first positioning part 41 and the second positioning part 43, which are opposite to each other and spaced apart, provides a clear assembly position and guide for the two clamping plates 21, ensuring precise alignment of the clamping plates 21 during installation, reducing errors in the assembly process, and improving the overall assembly accuracy of the clamping plates 21. The design of the positioning structure 40 makes the assembly process of the two clamping plates 21 simpler and faster. The clamping plates 21 only need to be placed into the second assembly space 44, and the clamping plates 21 can be fixed by simple operations (such as rotation, sliding, etc.). Compared with traditional bolt connections or welding methods, this snap-fit fixing method does not require the use of complex tools, reducing assembly costs. The first positioning part 41 and the second positioning part 43 are located on the side of the connecting part 42 facing the fixing structure 10. The connecting part 42 connects the first positioning part 41 and the second positioning part 43. The positioning structure 40 can position and clamp the connection between the fixing structure 10 and the clamping structure 20, thereby fixing the clamping plates 21.
[0059] Furthermore, the positioning structure 40 can be constructed as a "U" or similar "U" shaped clamp, and there can be two positioning structures 40. When the two clamping plates 21 are pressed into the locked state, the two positioning structures 40 are respectively clamped at both ends of the clamping plates 21 so that the two clamping plates 21 are both assembled in the second assembly space 44. The first positioning part 41 and the second positioning part 43 of the positioning structure 40 clamp the two clamping plates 21 in the second assembly space 44, and the two connecting parts 42 respectively abut against the ends of the clamping plates 21 so that the clamping structure 20 is in the locked state.
[0060] Alternatively, the positioning structure 40 can be constructed as a "C" or similar "C" shaped clamp, and there is only one positioning structure 40. When the two clamping plates 21 are pressed into the locked state, the first positioning part 41 and the second positioning part 43 of the positioning structure 40 clamp the two clamping plates 21 within the second assembly space 44, and the connecting part 42 abuts against the side wall of one of the clamping plates 21, so that the clamping structure 20 is in the locked state. Alternatively, the two clamping plates 21 can also be fixedly connected by welding, riveting, or other methods to keep the clamping structure 20 in the locked state. It can be reasonably set according to the actual situation, as long as it can keep the clamping structure 20 in the locked state. By setting the positioning structure 40, the adjustment and assembly process of the clamping structure 20 is simplified, and the operator does not need to spend extra time and effort to adjust the position of the clamping plates 21, thereby achieving efficient installation of the load-bearing cable 300.
[0061] According to one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 2As shown, each hoop 21 may include: a first hoop body 211 and a second hoop body 212. The first hoop body 211 and the second hoop body 212 are arranged and connected along a first direction. The first hoop body 211 is located between the fixed structure 10 and the second hoop body 212 and is connected to the fixed structure 10. The positioning structure 40 is used to assemble with the first hoop body 211 of the two hoops 21. The second hoop body 212 of the two hoops 21 defines a first assembly space 22.
[0062] The first hoop plate 211 and the second hoop plate 212 are arranged and connected along the first direction. In some embodiments of this application, the first hoop plate 211 and the second hoop plate 212 can be integrally formed, or the first hoop plate 211 and the second hoop plate 212 can be fixedly connected by welding. However, this application is not limited to this. The first hoop plate 211 and the second hoop plate 212 can also be fixedly connected by other means, as long as the first hoop plate 211 and the second hoop plate 212 are arranged and connected along the first direction.
[0063] The first hoop plate 211 is located between the fixed structure 10 and the second hoop plate 212 and is connected to the fixed structure 10. In some embodiments of this application, the first hoop plate 211 and the fixed structure 10 can be fixedly connected by welding, or the first hoop plate 211 and the fixed structure 10 can be integrally formed. However, this application is not limited to this. The first hoop plate 211 and the fixed structure 10 can also be fixedly connected by other means, as long as the first hoop plate 211 is located between the fixed structure 10 and the second hoop plate 212 and is connected to the fixed structure 10.
[0064] This application uses the example of the first hoop body 211, the second hoop body 212, and the fixing structure 10 being integrally formed. This arrangement can integrate the fixing structure 10 and the clamping structure 20 into one unit, which can reduce the number of parts in the installation device 100, thereby reducing the installation complexity of the photovoltaic module 200 and improving the installation efficiency of the photovoltaic module 200.
[0065] The positioning structure 40 is used to assemble with the first hoop body 211 of the two hoop plates 21, and can constrain and limit the relative position of the second hoop body 212. The second hoop body 212 of the two hoop plates 21 defines the first assembly space 22, which can be used to install the load-bearing cable 300. This makes the first hoop body 211 and the second hoop body 212 constructed as independent units, which can be easily assembled with the positioning structure 40 and the load-bearing cable 300, making the assembly process simpler and faster and improving the installation efficiency.
[0066] According to one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1As shown, the second hoop body 212 can be constructed as an arc-shaped structure, and the second hoop body 212 protrudes in a direction away from the first assembly space 22.
[0067] The arc-shaped structure provides a wider and smoother assembly channel for the load-bearing cable 300, reducing friction and resistance during assembly and making the assembly process smoother and more efficient. Furthermore, the second hoop plate 212 protrudes away from the first assembly space 22, allowing the first assembly space 22 to be cylindrical or nearly cylindrical, accommodating various shapes of load-bearing cables 300. This ensures that various shapes of load-bearing cables 300 can receive good support and fixation within the first assembly space 22, thereby improving the versatility of the installation device 100.
[0068] According to one embodiment of this application, the fixing structure 10 can be used to snap-fit and fix the photovoltaic module 200 without the need for complex bolt connections or welding processes, making the installation of the photovoltaic module 200 faster and more convenient. It also reduces the types and number of tools required during installation, lowers installation costs, and improves work efficiency.
[0069] According to one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the fixing structure 10 may include a first end plate 11, the first end plate 11 includes two first end plate bodies 12, the two first end plate bodies 12 are arranged along the second direction and spaced apart, and two hoop plates 21 are respectively connected to the two first end plate bodies 12.
[0070] The first end plate 11 includes two first end plate bodies 12, which are arranged and spaced apart along a second direction and are coplanar to form the first end plate 11. Two clamping plates 21 are respectively connected to the two first end plate bodies 12. In some embodiments of this application, the clamping plates 21 and the first end plate bodies 12 can be integrally formed, or the clamping plates 21 and the first end plate bodies 12 can be fixedly connected by welding. However, this application is not limited to this. The clamping plates 21 and the first end plate bodies 12 can also be fixedly connected by other means, as long as the two clamping plates 21 are respectively connected to the two first end plate bodies 12. This application uses the example of the two clamping plates 21 being integrally formed with the two first end plate bodies 12. This arrangement can integrate the fixing structure 10 and the clamping structure 20 into one, which can reduce the number of parts of the installation device 100, thereby reducing the installation complexity of the installation device 100 and improving the installation efficiency of the installation device 100.
[0071] According to one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1As shown, the fixing structure 10 may further include: a second end plate 13 and two side plates 14. The second end plate 13 is located on the side of the first end plate 11 away from the clamping structure 20 and is spaced apart from the first end plate 11. The two side plates 14 are respectively connected between the second end plate 13 and the two first end plate bodies 12. The second end plate 13 forms a snap-fit portion 131 extending toward the first end plate 11. The snap-fit portion 131 is spaced apart from the first end plate 11 and is used to snap-fit with the photovoltaic module 200.
[0072] The second end plate 13 is located on the side of the first end plate 11 away from the clamping structure 20 and spaced apart from the first end plate 11. Two side plates 14 are respectively connected between the second end plate 13 and the two first end plate bodies 12. By adding the second end plate 13 and the two side plates 14, the fixing structure 10 forms a closed frame, which enhances the overall rigidity and stability, and can better resist external loads, ensuring the stable installation of the photovoltaic module 200. The second end plate 13 has a snap-fit portion 131 extending towards the first end plate 11. The snap-fit portion 131 is spaced apart from the first end plate 11 so that it can be used to snap onto the photovoltaic module 200, providing an additional fixing point for the photovoltaic module 200, further enhancing the connection strength between the fixing structure 10 and the photovoltaic module 200, and preventing loosening or detachment during severe weather or long-term use.
[0073] The design of the snap-fit part 131 makes the connection between the fixing structure 10 and the photovoltaic module 200 simpler and faster. Operators only need to align and snap the snap-fit part 131 with the corresponding structure on the photovoltaic module 200 to complete the fixing, greatly improving installation efficiency. Since the fit between the snap-fit part 131 and the photovoltaic module 200 is pre-designed, no complex adjustments or calibrations are required during installation to ensure a tight fit and correct alignment between the fixing structure 10 and the photovoltaic module 200. Furthermore, by adjusting the size and shape of the snap-fit part 131, the fixing structure 10 can accommodate photovoltaic modules 200 of different specifications and models, thereby improving the applicability of the installation device 100.
[0074] According to one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the snap-fit part 131 may include: a snap-fit part body 132 and a plurality of snap-fit protrusions 133. The snap-fit part body 132 is connected to the second end plate 13. The end of the snap-fit part body 132 away from the second end plate 13 is provided with a plurality of snap-fit protrusions 133, and any two adjacent snap-fit protrusions 133 are spaced apart.
[0075] The snap-fit portion 131 may include a snap-fit portion body 132 and a plurality of snap-fit protrusions 133. In some embodiments of this application, the snap-fit portion 131 may include two, three, four or other numbers of snap-fit protrusions 133, but this application is not limited to this. The snap-fit portion 131 may also include other numbers of snap-fit protrusions 133, as long as the snap-fit portion 131 includes a plurality of snap-fit protrusions 133.
[0076] The snap-fit body 132 is connected to the second end plate 13. In some embodiments of this application, the snap-fit body 132 and the second end plate 13 can be integrally formed, or the snap-fit body 132 and the second end plate 13 can be fixedly connected by welding. However, this application is not limited to this. The snap-fit body 132 and the second end plate 13 can also be fixedly connected by other means, as long as the snap-fit body 132 and the second end plate 13 are connected.
[0077] The snap-fit body 132 is provided with multiple snap-fit protrusions 133 at the end opposite to the second end plate 13. The photovoltaic module 200 can be provided with multiple snap-fit holes. The multiple snap-fit holes are arranged one-to-one with the multiple snap-fit protrusions 133 so that the multiple snap-fit holes are assembled with the multiple snap-fit protrusions 133 one-to-one, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the snap-fit. Even when subjected to a large external force, the snap-fit part 131 is not easy to loosen or fall off.
[0078] Any two adjacent snap-fit protrusions 133 are spaced apart, and a groove structure can be formed between any two adjacent snap-fit protrusions 133. When disassembling the photovoltaic module 200, the snap-fit protrusions 133 can be moved out of the snap-fit holes of the photovoltaic module 200 by prying the groove with a pry bar, thereby realizing the disassembly of the photovoltaic module 200. The groove structure provides a clear point of force application for disassembly, and the operator can apply force more accurately, thereby improving the efficiency of disassembly.
[0079] Furthermore, the snap-fit body 132 can also have a through hole as a force application point. When disassembling the photovoltaic module 200, the snap-fit boss 133 can be moved out of the snap-fit hole of the photovoltaic module 200 by prying the through hole with a pry bar, thereby enabling the disassembly of the photovoltaic module 200.
[0080] Furthermore, the second end plate 13 may also have a clearance hole 50, and the snap-fit part 131 is connected to the side wall of the clearance hole 50. When disassembling the photovoltaic module 200, a pry bar can be inserted into the fixing structure 10 through the clearance hole 50 to pry the snap-fit part 131, so as to remove the snap-fit boss 133 from the snap-fit hole of the photovoltaic module 200. This reduces the risk of the pry bar accidentally touching other parts during the disassembly of the photovoltaic module 200, thereby improving the safety and service life of the installation device 100.
[0081] According to one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, both side plates 14 can be formed with a second assembly notch 141 for assembling the photovoltaic module 200. When assembling the photovoltaic module 200, the second assembly notch 141 is aligned with the photovoltaic module 200, and the fixing structure 10 is moved toward the photovoltaic module 200 so that the photovoltaic module 200 is assembled into the fixing structure 10 from the second assembly notch 141. This makes the assembly process of the photovoltaic module 200 more intuitive and simple, reduces the complex steps and potential errors in the assembly process, and improves the assembly efficiency.
[0082] According to one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, at least one side plate 14 is provided with a limiting plate 142. The limiting plate 142 is located at the second assembly notch 141 of the corresponding side plate 14. Along the first direction, the end of the limiting plate 142 away from the first end plate 11 is connected to the corresponding side plate 14, and the limiting plate 142 extends outward of the fixing structure 10 along the second direction. The limiting plate 142 is used to abut and limit the photovoltaic module 200.
[0083] At least one side plate 14 is provided with a limiting plate 142. One or two side plates 14 may have limiting plates 142. This application uses the example of two side plates 14 each having a limiting plate 142 for illustration. This arrangement further ensures the limiting effect of the limiting plate 142 on the photovoltaic module 200, improving the assembly stability and safety of the photovoltaic module 200. The limiting plate 142 is located at the second assembly notch 141 of the corresponding side plate 14. Along the first direction, the end of the limiting plate 142 facing away from the first end plate 11 is connected to the corresponding side plate 14. The limiting plate 142 and the corresponding side plate 14 can be fixedly connected by welding, or the limiting plate 142 and the corresponding side plate 14 can be integrally formed. However, this utility model is not limited to this; the limiting plate 142 and the corresponding side plate 14 can be connected in other ways, as long as the end of the limiting plate 142 facing away from the first end plate 11 is connected to the corresponding side plate 14.
[0084] Furthermore, the limiting plate 142 extends outward along the second direction toward the fixed structure 10. The end of the limiting plate 142 facing the first end plate 11 is spaced apart from the corresponding side plate 14, so that the photovoltaic module 200 is assembled between the limiting plate 142 and the corresponding side plate 14. The limiting plate 142 is used to abut and limit the photovoltaic module 200. The extension of the limiting plate 142 outward toward the fixed structure 10 can form a blocking and limiting effect between the photovoltaic module 200 and the fixed structure 10, reducing the risk of displacement of the photovoltaic module 200 in the fixed structure 10. It can also deform the limiting plate 142 when assembling the photovoltaic module 200 to adapt to photovoltaic modules 200 of different sizes.
[0085] The outward extension of the limiting plate 142 can also serve as a guide or positioning marker, helping operators to more accurately insert the photovoltaic module 200 into the fixing structure 10. When disassembling the photovoltaic module 200, the limiting plate 142 can also act as a force application point, facilitating the use of tools for disassembly. Furthermore, both side plates 14 can have clearance notches 53. When disassembling the photovoltaic module 200, the limiting plate 142 can be pried at the clearance notches 53, causing it to deform further outward from the fixing structure 10. This releases the limiting plate 142 from its limiting effect on the photovoltaic module 200, facilitating its disassembly.
[0086] The end of the limiting plate 142 facing the second assembly notch 141 can be formed with a guide slope 52, which can guide the photovoltaic module 200 when it is assembled onto the fixed structure 10, so that the photovoltaic module 200 can be smoothly assembled onto the fixed structure 10 from the second assembly notch 141, reducing the installation difficulty of the photovoltaic module 200. Furthermore, the limiting plate 142 can form multiple toothed protrusions 51. When the photovoltaic module 200 is assembled into the second assembly notch 141, the multiple toothed protrusions 51 of the limiting plate 142 abut against the photovoltaic module 200 to restrict its movement. The design of the limiting plate 142 allows the photovoltaic module 200 to be precisely positioned during assembly. When the photovoltaic module 200 is inserted into the second assembly notch 141, it will contact the limiting plate 142, thereby ensuring that the position of the photovoltaic module 200 in the first direction is accurate, which helps to improve the efficiency and accuracy of assembly and reduce assembly problems caused by positional deviations. The contact between the limiting plate 142 and the photovoltaic module 200 provides additional support points, enhancing the connection stability between the fixing structure 10 and the photovoltaic module 200.
