[0044] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0045] In this embodiment of the invention, a connecting bridge and a photovoltaic string are provided. When the connecting bridge is installed on the photovoltaic module, there is no need to drill holes in the photovoltaic module, thereby avoiding damage to the photovoltaic module. It will be described in detail below.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4The connecting cable tray is used to connect adjacent and spaced-apart photovoltaic modules 5. The connecting cable tray includes two mounting members located at the corners of adjacent and spaced-apart photovoltaic module frames 50, and a base connector 4 connecting the two mounting members. At least one mounting member includes a positioning base 1, a limiting plate 2, and a pressure block 3. The positioning base 1 covers the corner of the photovoltaic module frame 50 and is at least in contact with the back of the corner of the photovoltaic module frame 50, facilitating the positioning of the connecting cable tray and reducing the number of components in the entire connecting cable tray. The limiting plate 2 has a connecting portion 20 and a pressing portion 21. The pressing portion 21 is connected to the connecting portion 20, and the connecting portion 20 is connected to the positioning base 1. The pressing portion 21 cooperates with the positioning base 1. The clamping part 21 is sandwiched on the back of the corner of the photovoltaic module 5. During use, the clamping part 21 can be made to contact the back of the photovoltaic module 5 by adjusting the connecting part 20, thereby clamping the positioning base 1 onto the photovoltaic module 5. The clamping block 3 has a face pressing part 30, a side pressing part 31 and a tightening part 32 connected in sequence. The tightening part 32 is movably connected to the positioning base 1. The face pressing part 30 is in contact with the front of the corner of the photovoltaic module frame 50, and the side pressing part 31 is in contact with the side of the corner of the photovoltaic module frame 50. By adjusting the tightening part 32, the face pressing part 30 and the side pressing part 31 can be made to contact or separate from the photovoltaic module frame 50. The limiting plate 2 and the clamping block 3 work together with the positioning base 1 to be installed on the photovoltaic module 5, avoiding the problem of damaging the photovoltaic module 5 by drilling holes in it.

[0047] In this embodiment, the positioning base 1 is U-shaped, comprising an upper surface contact portion 10, a lower surface contact portion 11, and a side contact portion 12 connected in sequence. The upper surface contact portion 10, the lower surface contact portion 11, and the side contact portion 12 together form a U-shaped groove, and the corner of the photovoltaic module frame 50 is fitted into the U-shaped groove. The inner wall of the upper surface contact portion 10 covers the front of the photovoltaic module frame 50, the inner wall of the lower surface contact portion 11 covers the back of the photovoltaic module frame 50, and the inner wall of the side contact portion 12 covers the side of the photovoltaic module frame 50, so that the positioning base 1 covers the corner of the photovoltaic module frame 50; the inner wall here refers to the side wall closest to the U-shaped groove.

[0048] It is worth mentioning that the front side of the photovoltaic module 5 and the photovoltaic module frame 50 refers to the side that receives sunlight, the back side refers to the side that is not exposed to sunlight, and the side surface of the photovoltaic module 5 and the photovoltaic module frame 50 refers to the wall surface that transitions between the front and back sides. The photovoltaic module frame 50 covers the sides of the photovoltaic module 5 to protect it. At the point where the photovoltaic module frame 50 meets the front side of the photovoltaic module 5, it is higher than the plane of the front side of the photovoltaic module 5; at the point where the photovoltaic module frame 50 meets the back side of the photovoltaic module 5, it is higher than the plane of the back side of the photovoltaic module 5.

[0049] refer to Figure 5 The limiting plate 2 has a connecting part 20 and a pressing part 21. Both the pressing part 21 and the connecting part 20 are flat plates. The pressing part 21 and the connecting part 20 can be integrally formed to form an L-shape.

[0050] The lower surface contact portion 11 has an extension plate extending in the -Z direction, and the connecting portion 20 is connected to the extension plate by bolts. The clamping portion 21 is located above the lower surface contact portion 11 and below the upper surface contact portion 10, and the surface of the clamping portion 21 is parallel to the upper surface contact portion 10. The clamping portion 21 cooperates with the lower surface contact portion 11 and clamps the back of the photovoltaic module 5. When in contact with the photovoltaic module 5, the surface of the clamping portion 21 is in contact with the back surface of the photovoltaic module 5, and the sidewall of the clamping portion 21 abuts against the inner sidewall of the photovoltaic module frame 50. Tightening or loosening the bolts on the connecting portion 20 can achieve the clamping tightness or loosening of the limiting plate 2 and the photovoltaic module frame 50.

[0051] The lower surface contact portion 11 has a first portion and a second portion, which are integrally formed to form an L-shape. The first portion and the second portion correspond to the adjacent two sides of the photovoltaic module frame 50, respectively. The first portion and the second portion provide connection positions for the limiting plate 2 in the X and Y directions, thereby allowing the limiting plate 2 to limit the photovoltaic module 5 in the X and Y directions. The number of limiting plates 2 is at least two, with the first portion and the second portion each corresponding to at least one limiting plate 2.

[0052] refer to Figure 6 The pressure block 3 has a surface pressure part 30, a side pressure part 31, and a tightening part 32 connected in sequence. The surface pressure part 30 and the side pressure part 31 are vertically connected and form an L-shape. The tightening part 32 includes a horizontal plate and a vertical plate. The horizontal plate is perpendicularly connected to the side pressure part 31, and the vertical plate is perpendicularly connected to the horizontal plate. The vertical plate and the horizontal plate are connected in an L-shape. The horizontal plate is spaced apart from the lower surface contact part 11, and the side of the vertical plate abuts against the lower surface contact part 11. A through hole is also provided on the horizontal plate. Of course, the surface pressure part 30, the side pressure part 31, and the tightening part 32 can be integrally formed. The surface pressing part 30 presses against the front of the photovoltaic module frame 50, the side pressing part 31 abuts against the outer side wall of the photovoltaic module frame 50, and the bolts pass through the holes and the contact part 11 on the lower surface in sequence to realize the connection between the tightening part 32 and the positioning base 1. By turning the bolts on the tightening part 32, the clamping force between the surface pressing part 30 and the front of the photovoltaic module frame 50 can be adjusted, thereby realizing the installation, fixing and loosening / disassembly.

[0053] In this embodiment, the face pressing part 30 is in contact with the front side of the photovoltaic module frame 50, thus avoiding damage to the photovoltaic module 50 during clamping. The side pressing part 31 abuts against the outer wall of the photovoltaic module frame 50. Since the bolt on the tightening part 32 passes through the lower surface contact part 11, in order to make the distance between the side pressing part 31 and the photovoltaic module frame 50 adjustable, the through hole through which the bolt passes through the lower surface contact part 11 is a strip hole, which facilitates the movement of the bolt in the strip hole to adjust the distance between the side pressing part 31 and the photovoltaic module frame 50.

[0054] To provide a more intuitive understanding, the positioning base 1, limiting plate 2, and pressure block 3 are positioned and oriented in a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, as shown in the reference. Figures 7 to 10 and combined Figure 1 .

[0055] The thickness direction of the photovoltaic module 5 is the Z-coordinate direction, the length direction is the Y-coordinate direction, and the width direction is the X-coordinate direction. When the positioning base 1 is installed at the corner of the photovoltaic module 5, the upper surface contact part 10 and the lower surface contact part 11 are parallel vertically in the Z-coordinate direction; the direction of the clamping force applied by the surface pressing part 30 of the pressure block 3 is also along the Z-coordinate direction, thereby fixing the connecting bridge to the photovoltaic module 5 and the photovoltaic module frame 50 in the Z-coordinate direction. There are two limiting plates 2, one of which has its pressing part 21 facing the -X-coordinate direction, and the other has its pressing part 21 facing the Y-coordinate direction. When the bolts on the connecting part 20 are tightened, the two limiting plates 2 move in the X and Y directions respectively and press against the inner sidewall of the photovoltaic module frame 50, thereby fixing the connecting bridge to the photovoltaic module frame 50 in the X and Y directions.

[0056] Optionally, the surface of the pressure part 30 that contacts the photovoltaic module frame 50 is provided with anti-slip texture to increase the friction between the two and prevent slippage during connection. The form of the anti-slip texture is not limited here; the shape of the texture can be striped, dotted, or any other type. Similarly, the surface of the vertical plate of the tensioning part 32 that contacts the lower surface contact part 11 is also provided with anti-slip texture to increase the friction between the two and prevent slippage between the tensioning part 32 and the lower surface contact part 11.

[0057] When the cleaning robot finishes cleaning one photovoltaic module 5, it needs to move to another photovoltaic module 5. It can be moved to the other photovoltaic module 5 through the positioning base 1 and the base connector 4.

[0058] Refer again Figure 1 The base connector 4 includes two rotating parts 40 and a telescopic part 41. The two rotating parts 40 are respectively disposed on the positioning base 1 at the corner of the adjacent and spaced photovoltaic module frame 50. The two ends of the telescopic part 41 are respectively connected to the rotating parts 40.

[0059] The rotating component 40 includes a rotating shaft 401 and a bushing 402. The bushing 402 is fixed to the inner wall of the side contact portion 12 of the positioning base 1. The rotating shaft 401 is rotatably disposed inside the bushing 402 and can rotate 360° inside the bushing 402.

[0060] The telescopic component 41 includes a connecting rod 411 and a connecting sleeve 412. An axial cavity 4121 is formed inside the connecting sleeve 412, extending through both ends of the connecting sleeve 412. One end of the connecting rod 411 is housed within the axial cavity 4121 and can slide within it. The other end of the connecting rod 411 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 401 via a pin. One end of the connecting sleeve 412 is fitted over the connecting rod 411, and the other end is rotatably connected to the corresponding rotating shaft 401 via a pin.

[0061] To prevent the connecting rod 411 from slipping off the connecting sleeve 412, a limiting groove 4122 is provided on the connecting sleeve 412. The limiting groove 4122 is opened on the side wall of the connecting sleeve 412 and along the axial direction of the connecting sleeve 412. A limiting pin 4111 is provided on the connecting rod 411. The limiting pin 4111 is engaged with the limiting groove 4122 and can slide along the limiting groove 4122. The limiting pin 4111 avoids the risk of the connecting rod 411 slipping off the connecting sleeve 412 on the one hand, and limits the maximum distance that the connecting rod 411 can move within the connecting sleeve 412 on the other hand.

[0062] The ends of the connecting rod 411 and the connecting sleeve 412 can rotate around the corresponding pins on their respective sides, so that the connecting bridge can automatically adjust its angle and length according to the changes in the height and angle of the photovoltaic module 5 within the designed angle and length range, without falling off or getting stuck. This helps to improve the practicality and reliability of the connecting bridge and increase the cleaning range of the photovoltaic cleaning robot.

[0063] In this embodiment, the joint cooperation of the rotating shaft 401, bushing 402, connecting rod 411 and connecting sleeve 412 allows two adjacent photovoltaic modules 5 to have multiple degrees of freedom in multiple directions. It is suitable for connecting two adjacent fixed bracket photovoltaic modules 5 with misalignment, height difference and different angles. The installation is simple and reliable. Moreover, it can adaptively follow and adjust the length and angle according to the different foundation settlement of the fixed photovoltaic module 5 and the influence of external forces (gravity, wind) on the photovoltaic bracket and module, without damaging the photovoltaic module 5 and the bracket.

[0064] Of course, the angle of sunlight will vary with the seasons. In order to improve the power generation efficiency of photovoltaic module 5, there are some photovoltaic brackets with manually adjustable angles in actual situations. The connecting bridge in this embodiment can achieve multiple degrees of freedom and is suitable for connecting two adjacent photovoltaic modules 5 with manually adjustable angles. When the angles of two adjacent photovoltaic modules 5 are adjusted, the connecting bridge can adaptively follow the angle and length adjustment as the angle of the photovoltaic module 5 is adjusted.

[0065] In this embodiment, the connecting cable tray is clamped onto the photovoltaic module 5, avoiding the need to drill holes in the photovoltaic module 5, making installation and disassembly convenient.

[0066] An embodiment of this utility model also provides a photovoltaic string, including multiple photovoltaic modules 5 and the aforementioned connecting bridge, with adjacent photovoltaic modules 5 connected to each other via the connecting bridge.

[0067] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
