[0002] In the field of Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) technology, the design and installation of water channels are crucial to the stability and waterproofing performance of rooftop photovoltaic systems. Existing technologies generally suffer from cumbersome installation and high costs associated with water channel installation. For example, Chinese patent document CN207427039U describes a method that uses self-tapping screws, clamping components, water channels, and photovoltaic module frames to fix the water channel to the photovoltaic module. However, the complex structure designed to fit the photovoltaic module frame results in cumbersome installation and high costs.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new photovoltaic roof component and photovoltaic roof to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a photovoltaic roof component and photovoltaic roof that can fix photovoltaic modules, purlins and water channels in one piece.

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this embodiment discloses a photovoltaic roof, including photovoltaic modules 1 and a photovoltaic roof component. The photovoltaic roof component is disposed between two adjacent rows of photovoltaic modules 1. The photovoltaic roof component includes purlins 2, water channels 3, and fasteners 4. The purlins 2 are disposed between two adjacent rows of photovoltaic modules 1 to fix the photovoltaic modules 1. The water channels 3 are disposed between the photovoltaic modules 1 and the purlins 2. The photovoltaic modules 1, water channels 3, and purlins 2 are connected by the fasteners 4, thereby fixing the photovoltaic modules 1 to the photovoltaic roof component. By placing the water channels 3 between two adjacent rows of photovoltaic modules 1 and the purlins 2, rainwater can seep from the connection gaps between the photovoltaic modules 1 into the water channels 3 and drain away. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the water guide channel 3 includes a mounting part 31 and two grooves 32 located on both sides of the mounting part 31. The mounting part 31 is at least partially located between the photovoltaic module 1 and the purlin 2, that is, one side of the mounting part 31 abuts against the purlin 2, and the other side is used to abut against the frame 11 of two adjacent rows of photovoltaic modules 1. The water guide channel 3 is fixedly connected to the photovoltaic module 1 and the purlin 2 through the mounting part 31. Specifically, the mounting part 31 is attached upward to the frame 11 of the photovoltaic module 1 and downward to the purlin 2. Therefore, the weight of the photovoltaic module 1 is transferred downward to the purlin 2, which greatly reduces the stress on the water guide channel 3, thereby improving stability and reducing costs.

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 3As shown, the purlin 2 includes a top wall 21 for connecting two adjacent rows of photovoltaic modules 1 and the water guide channel 3. The upper surface of the mounting part 31 is at least partially attached to the photovoltaic module 1, and the lower surface of the mounting part 31 is at least partially attached to the top wall 21. Furthermore, the upper surface of the mounting part 31 is at least partially attached to the frame 11. With this configuration, the mounting part 31 is attached to the frame 11 of the photovoltaic module 1 and the top wall 21 of the purlin 2, respectively, so that the weight of the photovoltaic module 1 can be better transferred to the purlin 2, reducing the stress on the water guide channel 3 and extending the life of the water guide channel 3.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the frame 11 has a first through hole 111, the mounting part 31 has a second through hole 311, and the upper top wall 21 has a third through hole 211. The first through hole 111, the second through hole 311, and the third through hole 211 are axially aligned. The photovoltaic module 1, the water guide channel 3, and the purlin 2 are fixedly connected by fasteners 4 passing through the first through hole 111, the second through hole 311, and the third through hole 211. In this embodiment, the fastener 4 is a bolt and nut assembly. The bolt is passed through the first through hole 111, the second through hole 311, and the third through hole 211 in sequence, and a nut is tightened on one side of the third through hole 211; or the bolt is passed through the third through hole 211, the second through hole 311, and the first through hole 111 in sequence, and a nut is tightened on one side of the first through hole 111. In other embodiments, other commonly used fasteners can also be used to fix the three together. This application does not specifically limit the type of fastener.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the second through hole 311 and the third through hole 211 are each provided in two rows, which are used to connect the sides of the frame 11 of two adjacent rows of photovoltaic modules 1 that are close to each other.

[0036] Further, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the width of the top wall 21 of the purlin 2 is not greater than the width of the mounting part 31. In this embodiment, the width of the top wall 21 is equal to the width of the mounting part 31. This arrangement ensures that the lower surface of the mounting part 31 is completely attached to the top wall 21, so that the gravity of the photovoltaic module 1 can be transferred to the purlin 2 to the maximum extent.

[0037] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the two grooves 32 of the water guide channel 3 are connected to both ends of the mounting part 31. The two grooves 32 are located on both sides of the purlin 2 along its length and are respectively located below the two rows of photovoltaic modules 1. Further, the groove 32 includes a bottom wall 321 and a first side wall 322 and a second side wall 323 located on both sides of the bottom wall 321. The bottom wall 321 is lower than the mounting part 31. The first side wall 322 connects the bottom wall 321 and the end of the mounting part 31 that are close to each other, and the second side wall 323 connects the bottom wall 321 and the end that is away from the mounting part 31. With this configuration, the water guide channel 3, with its simple structure, achieves a good water guiding effect.

[0038] Further, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the end of the second sidewall 323 away from the bottom wall 321 is positioned at a height higher than the bottom wall 321 and lower than the mounting part 31. This arrangement ensures that the water channel 3 has a certain water storage capacity, and the highest point where water can be stored is located below the mounting part 31, preventing the water level in the groove 32 from being too high and seeping into the lower surface of the photovoltaic module 1.

[0039] The water guide channel 3 in this embodiment has a simple structure and can be made of materials such as aluminum alloy or stainless steel. The water guide channel 3 can be obtained by bending the plate material, which is simple to manufacture and has high strength. Similarly, the purlin 2 is also formed by bending.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the purlin 2 in this embodiment is a C-shaped steel purlin, and also includes a bottom wall opposite to the top wall 21, a side support wall connecting the top wall 21 and the bottom wall, and a reinforcing flange extending vertically downward from the end of the top wall 21 away from the side support wall. The side support wall and the top wall 21 are bent together, and the reinforcing flange and the top wall 21 are also bent together. The first side walls 322 on both sides of the mounting portion 31 of the water guide channel 3 are bent together with the mounting portion 31. In some embodiments, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the first sidewall 322 on the left side of the mounting part 31 is attached to the bent connection between the mounting part 31 and the side support wall and the top wall 21, and the first sidewall 322 on the right side of the mounting part 31 is attached to the bent connection between the reinforcing edge and the top wall 21. This arrangement further increases the contact area between the purlin 2 and the water guide channel 3, thereby further reducing the stress on the water guide channel 3. In other embodiments, other types of purlins can also be used, such as H-shaped steel purlins, Z-shaped steel purlins, etc. This application does not specifically limit the type of purlin.

[0041] Please see Figures 5 to 8As shown, in some embodiments, the photovoltaic roof has a ridge, and the photovoltaic roof further includes a ridge connector 5. The ridge connector 5 is used to connect the water channels 3 on both sides of the ridge and prevent water from flowing in between the water channels 3 on both sides of the ridge. Further, the water channels 3 on both sides of the ridge are correspondingly arranged, and the grooves 32 of the water channels 3 on both sides at least partially abut against each other. The ridge connector 5 is fixedly connected to the mounting portions 31 of the water channels 3 on both sides of the ridge. Specifically, the ridge connector 5 includes a connecting portion 51 and a cover portion 52. The two connecting portions 51 are respectively fitted and fixedly connected to the mounting portions 31 of the water channels 3 on both sides of the ridge, and the two ends of the cover portion 52 are respectively connected to the ends of the two connecting portions 51 that are far apart from each other.

[0042] Specifically, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the connecting portion 51 and the mounting portion 31 of the ridge connector 5 are respectively provided with holes for fixed connection, so that fasteners 4 can be inserted through both to fix the connection. In other embodiments, fixation can also be achieved by means of adhesive bonding or the like.

[0043] In summary, compared with existing technologies, the photovoltaic roof component and photovoltaic roof of this utility model have the following advantages: The water guide channel 3 includes an installation part 31 and grooves 32 on both sides. The installation part 31 abuts against the photovoltaic module 1 upwards and against the purlin 2 downwards, thereby greatly reducing the stress on the water guide channel 3, improving structural stability, and the water guide channel 3 achieves good water guiding effect with a simple structure, resulting in high production efficiency and low cost. The photovoltaic module 1, purlin 2 and water guide channel 3 can be integrally fixed and connected, making installation simple and convenient, reducing costs and improving installation efficiency.
