Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an installation structure, specifically a rail-mounted installation structure for photovoltaic modules. Background Technology

[0002] Existing PV module rail-mounted structures typically assemble PV panels together using screws, clamps, and rails. The panels are tightly connected, leaving no gaps for workers to walk on and making installation difficult. When a PV panel is damaged and needs to be removed for repair, the existing rail structure can loosen the installation of adjacent PV panels, potentially damaging other panels.

[0003] Chinese patent discloses a rail-mounted structure for photovoltaic modules (authorization announcement number CN 222736090U). This patented technology improves upon the problems of manual screw tightening during the installation of the rail and photovoltaic panels, which hinders worker access and prevents the disassembly of one photovoltaic panel from affecting others. However, photovoltaic modules generally require large-area installation, and this device only supports small-scale installations, which are still relatively complex. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a rail-mounted structure for photovoltaic modules to solve the problems mentioned in the background. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rail-mounted structure for photovoltaic modules to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A rail-mounted structure for photovoltaic modules includes a structural body comprising a plurality of photovoltaic units, each photovoltaic unit comprising a modular photovoltaic panel, the modular photovoltaic panel comprising a photovoltaic panel body, and a connecting structure surrounding the photovoltaic panel body. The connecting structure is connected to a second fixing screw, which is connected to a threaded groove bolt on the photovoltaic panel body. The connecting structure has a plurality of fixing grooves. The front and rear connecting structures have protruding connecting keys, and the left and right connecting structures have recessed connecting grooves. The protruding connecting key has a tenon. The recessed connecting groove of one modular photovoltaic panel can be clearance-fitted with the protruding connecting key of another modular photovoltaic panel, and then connected by a threaded tenon and a tenon bolt. Two modular photovoltaic panels can be fixedly connected by clearance-fitting the protruding connecting key and the recessed connecting groove, and then connected by a threaded tenon, protruding connecting key, and recessed connecting groove bolt. This process can be repeated to achieve the combined installation of large-area modular photovoltaic panels.

[0007] Preferably, one side of the connecting structure is fixedly connected to the slide rail or slide rod via a first fixing screw and a fixing groove bolt. The slide rail has a slide groove, and a limiting slide groove is provided in the slide groove. The slide rod has a sliding rod, and a limiting slider is provided above the sliding rod. The slide rail or slide rod and the combined photovoltaic panel constitute a photovoltaic unit. Several photovoltaic units are connected through the sliding connection of the slide rail and slide rod and the gap fit between the limiting slider and the limiting slide groove. The slide rail and slide rod are installed on both sides of the edge of the large-area combined photovoltaic panel. Through the sliding connection of the sliding rod and slide groove and the gap fit between the limiting slider and the limiting slide groove, multiple layers of combined photovoltaic panels can be accommodated in a limited plane space. When it needs to be unfolded, only the upper photovoltaic unit needs to be pushed to make the multi-layer combined photovoltaic panel unfold in a straight line.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0009] 1. This utility model combines two compatible installation methods, which can meet the needs of large-scale installation on the one hand, and allow individual photovoltaic panels to be disassembled during maintenance and installation on the other hand.

[0010] 2. The modular photovoltaic panels of this utility model are easy to splice and install, and the guide rail-type "I"-shaped unfolding also allows for operation without complicated operations. Attached Figure Description
