[0029] The exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. If several embodiments exist, features in these embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict. When the description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise stated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The descriptions in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention; rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses, products, and / or methods consistent with some aspects of the present invention as set forth in the claims.

[0030] The terminology used in this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this invention. The singular forms “a,” “the,” or “the” used in the specification and claims of this invention are also intended to include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5This utility model discloses a photovoltaic carport 100, including a stabilizing structure 20, longitudinal water guide channels 30, transverse water guide channels 40, and purlins 50. The purlins 50 extend along a first direction D1-D1, the longitudinal water guide channels 30 extend along a second direction, and multiple longitudinal water guide channels 30 are spaced apart at the top of the purlins 50 along the first direction D1-D1. The transverse water guide channels 40 are arranged between two adjacent longitudinal water guide channels 30 along the first direction D1-D1, with their opposite ends overlapping the tops of two adjacent first stabilizing blocks 1. The stabilizing structure 20 is used to install photovoltaic modules 10 on the top of the longitudinal water guide channels 30 to improve the stability of the photovoltaic modules 10. The stabilizing structure 20 is arranged at the top of the water guide channels along the first direction D1-D1, and the first direction D1-D1, the second direction, and the first direction D1-D1 are all perpendicular to each other.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The stabilizing structure 20 includes a first stabilizing block 1, a second stabilizing block 2, and a first fastener 3. The first stabilizing block 1 is disposed on top of the longitudinal water guide channel 30 and fixedly connected to it. The side of the first stabilizing block 1 facing the longitudinal water guide channel 30 has several protrusions 11 that engage with the channel. The second stabilizing blocks 2 are spaced above the first stabilizing blocks 1, with a gap between them. The photovoltaic module 10 is disposed within this gap. The first fastener 3 passes through the second stabilizing block 2 and connects to the first stabilizing block 1. This improves the stability of the first stabilizing block 1 after assembly with the water guide channel, preventing slippage due to excessive gaps during assembly caused by tolerances, which could affect the stability of the photovoltaic module 10.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 as well as Figure 5Specifically, the longitudinal water guide channel 30 includes a main body 310, two inclined portions 320 extending upwards from both sides of the main body 310 in the width direction, two horizontal portions 330 extending outwards from the two inclined portions 320, and two fixed portions 340 extending downwards from the two horizontal portions 330. In this embodiment, the main body 310 extends along a second direction, and the two inclined portions 320 are respectively disposed on both sides of the main body 310 in the first direction D1-D1, with the two inclined portions 320 extending upwards from the main body 310 and forming a second angle with the main body 310. Preferably, the angle range of the second angle is 90° to 180°. The two horizontal portions 330 extend horizontally outwards from the free ends of the extended portions along the first direction D1-D1, and the two fixed portions 340 extend downwards from the free ends of the horizontal portions 330. The first stabilizing block 1 includes a main body 12 and two abutting portions 13 disposed at opposite ends of the main body 12. At least one protrusion 11 is provided at the connection between the main body 12 and the abutting portions 13. The two abutting portions 13 abut against two corresponding horizontal portions 330, and the protrusion 11 abuts against the inclined portions 320. The two inclined portions 320 and the main body 310 enclose a water guiding space. The top of the water guiding space has an opening, and the first stabilizing block 1 covers the opening, with the protrusion 11 abutting against the inclined portions 320. This improves the stability of the first stabilizing block 1 when assembled with the longitudinal water guiding channel 30.

[0034] The fixing part 340 has a first connecting part 341 and a second connecting part 342 at its opposite ends, respectively, extending from opposite sides of the fixing part 340. Specifically, the first connecting part 341 extends from the fixing part 340 along the first direction D1-D1 towards the inclined part 320, and the second connecting part 342 extends from the fixing part 340 along the first direction D1-D1 towards the side opposite to the first connecting part 341. Preferably, the fixing part 340, the first connecting part 341, and the second connecting part 342 are integrally bent. In this embodiment, the first connecting part 341 is fixed to the horizontal part 330 by welding. In other embodiments, one end of the fixing part 340 has the second connecting part 342, and the other end of the fixing part 340 is connected to the horizontal part 330. Preferably, the fixing part 340 and the horizontal part 330 are integrally bent.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4The first stabilizing block 1 also includes a first bending portion 14, which is disposed between the main body portion 12 and the abutment portion 13. Specifically, there are two first bending portions 14, which are disposed at opposite ends of the main body portion 12 along the first direction D1-D1, and are symmetrically arranged from the centerline of the main body portion 12. The first included angle between the first bending portion 14 and the main body portion 12 is the same as the second included angle between the inclined portion 320 and the main body portion 310. That is, the angle range of the first included angle is 90°~180°, so that the first bending portion 14 can remain parallel to the inclined portion 320. The protrusion 11 is disposed on the first bending portion 14, so that when the first stabilizing block 1 is assembled with the longitudinal water guide channel 30, the protrusion 11 can abut with the inclined portion 320, thereby reducing the gap formed by the tolerance between the first stabilizing block 1 and the longitudinal water guide channel 30, and improving the stability of the assembly between the first stabilizing block 1 and the longitudinal water guide channel 30. Preferably, each first bend 14 is provided with two protrusions 11, which further improves stability.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The first stabilizing block 1 also includes a second bent portion 15, which is disposed at the free end of the abutment portion 13. The second bent portion extends downward from the abutment portion 13 and fits against the fixing portion 340 to restrict the first stabilizing block 1 from moving in the first direction D1-D1 on the longitudinal water guide channel 30, thereby further improving the stability of the first stabilizing block 1.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 The stabilizing structure 20 also includes a third fastener 60, which passes through the abutment portion 13 and connects to the horizontal portion 330. This ensures that the first stabilizing block 1 remains stable with respect to the longitudinal water channel 30. Preferably, the third fastener 60 is a screw.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 as well as Figure 4 The body part 12 of the first stabilizing block has a cavity 101. By setting the cavity 101, the structural strength of the first stabilizing block 1 is not reduced, while the weight of the first stabilizing block 1 is reduced, thereby reducing the load required on the longitudinal water guide channel 30. This ensures the stability of the first stabilizing block and the longitudinal water guide channel 30 during assembly and also reduces costs.

[0039] The main body 12 has a first positioning hole at its center, and four cavities 101 are evenly distributed on both sides of the first positioning hole. Preferably, the first positioning hole is located at the center of the main body 12, and the main body 12 has two cavities 101 on each side of the first direction D1-D1, and the two cavities 101 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the first positioning hole. This ensures the overall structural strength of the first stabilizing block 1.

[0040] The second stabilizing block 2 is provided with a second positioning hole, and the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole are arranged vertically correspondingly. The stabilizing structure 20 also includes a second fastener, which passes through the second positioning hole and connects to the first positioning hole. Preferably, the second fastener is a bolt.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 as well as Figure 4 The first stabilizing block 1 has a groove 102 on the side facing the photovoltaic module 10. The groove 102 is located at the connection between the main body 12 and the abutment part 13. The end of the transverse water guide channel 40 is provided with a hook part 410, which extends into the groove 102. When the transverse water guide channel 40 is assembled with the first stabilizing block 1, the hook part 410 of the transverse water guide channel 40 is snapped into the groove 102, which can improve the stability of the assembly of the transverse water guide channel 40 and the first stabilizing block 1.

[0042] The photovoltaic carport 100 also includes a third fastener 60, which passes through the fixing part 340 and is fixedly connected to the purlin 50. In this embodiment, the third fastener 60 is a screw, which passes through the second connecting part 342 and is fixedly connected to the purlin 50. This secures the longitudinal water guide channel 30 to the top of the purlin 50.

[0043] In summary, this utility model discloses a stabilizing structure 20 for mounting a photovoltaic module 10 on top of a longitudinal water guide channel 30. The stabilizing structure 20 includes a first stabilizing block 1, a second stabilizing block 2, and a first fastener 3. By providing a plurality of protrusions 11 on the side of the first stabilizing block 1 facing the longitudinal water guide channel 30, and the protrusions 11 cooperating with the longitudinal water guide channel 30, the stability between the first stabilizing block 1 and the longitudinal water guide channel 30 is improved during assembly, preventing the first stabilizing block 1 from sliding on the longitudinal water guide channel 30, and further improving the assembly stability of the photovoltaic module 10.
