Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic module installation technology, specifically to an installation structure for a steel frame module. Background Technology
[0002] In the photovoltaic field, assembling photovoltaic modules with steel frames is a common assembly method. Currently, the vertical installation method for photovoltaic modules mostly involves one module with two purlins underneath. For vertical installation, photovoltaic modules can be tightened with pressure blocks or locked with bolt kits.
[0003] However, the current steel frames for photovoltaic modules still have the following defects during installation: the strength at the mounting holes of the frame is relatively weak, making it easy to tear in headwind conditions. In addition, two installation tools are required to tighten the bolts, and the bolts are relatively easy to loosen after installation, requiring frequent maintenance, which leads to low installation efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of the embodiments of this utility model and to briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be used to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an installation structure for a steel frame assembly, which can replace the traditional installation method of steel frame assemblies. This avoids the problems of low strength in the frame area after installation and easy loosening when back-locked with bolts, resulting in low installation efficiency.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, according to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A mounting structure for a steel frame assembly, comprising:
[0008] The steel frame body has a mounting groove on one side and a first mounting hole at the bottom of the inner wall of the mounting groove;
[0009] The purlin body has a second mounting hole at its top;
[0010] The fixing assembly includes a T-bolt, a washer, and a fixing nut corresponding to the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the mounting structure of the steel frame assembly described in this utility model, the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole are strip-shaped holes.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the installation structure of the steel frame assembly described in this utility model, the bottom of the steel frame body has a countersunk hole corresponding to the first mounting hole.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the installation structure of the steel frame assembly described in this utility model, the top of the fixing nut has an adsorption groove.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are that the installation structure of this steel frame assembly, which connects to the first and second mounting holes with T-bolts, increases the strength at the mounting holes. At the same time, the T-bolts are not easy to fall out of the first mounting hole, thus freeing up workers' hands and improving installation efficiency. The head of the T-bolt is limited inside the mounting groove and is not easy to loosen. This replaces the traditional steel frame assembly installation method and avoids the problem of low strength in the frame part after installation and easy loosening when back-locking with bolts, which leads to low installation efficiency.

[0026] This utility model provides an installation structure for a steel frame assembly, replacing the traditional installation method of steel frame assemblies. It avoids the problems of low strength in the frame area after installation and easy loosening when back-locking with bolts, resulting in low installation efficiency.
[0027] Figures 1-4 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the installation structure of a steel frame assembly according to this utility model. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-4 This paper provides a detailed description of the installation structure of this type of steel frame assembly.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] refer to Figures 1-4 This utility model discloses an installation structure for a steel frame assembly, the main body of which includes a steel frame body 100, a purlin body 200, and a fixing component 300.
[0030] The steel frame body 100 is used to assemble and fix the photovoltaic module. The steel frame body 100 has a mounting groove 120 on one side and a first mounting hole 110 at the bottom of the inner wall of the mounting groove 120. The mounting groove 120 is used to facilitate the installation of the photovoltaic module, and the first mounting hole 110 is used to facilitate the connection with the purlin body 200 by cooperating with the T-bolt 310.
[0031] The purlin body 200 is used to support and install the steel frame body 100. The top of the purlin body 200 has a second mounting hole 210, which is used to facilitate the connection and fixation with the steel frame body 100 by T-bolts 310.
[0032] The fixing component 300 is used to quickly connect and install the steel frame body 100 to the purlin body 200. The fixing component 300 includes a T-bolt 310, a washer 320, and a fixing nut 330 corresponding to the first mounting hole 110 and the second mounting hole 210. The T-bolt 310 cooperates with the fixing nut 330 to connect and fix the purlin body 200 to the steel frame body 100. Simultaneously, the head of the T-bolt 310 is used to reinforce the strength at the first mounting hole 110 after installation. The bolt 310, by utilizing its characteristic of not easily falling out of the first mounting hole 110, allows installers to free their hands during installation, thereby improving installation efficiency. The head of the T-bolt 310 is not easily rotated due to the limiting effect of the folded edge on one side of the mounting groove 120, thus preventing loosening after installation. The washer 320 is used to increase the loosening performance between the fixing nut 330 and the T-bolt 310. The fixing nut 330 is used to cooperate with the T-bolt 310 to connect and install the purlin body 200 and the steel frame body 100.
[0033] In this embodiment, the first mounting hole 110 and the second mounting hole 210 are strip-shaped holes, which are used to facilitate fine-tuning of the connection position at any time during installation, thereby increasing the fault tolerance during installation.
[0034] In this embodiment, the bottom of the steel frame body 100 has a countersunk hole corresponding to the first mounting hole 110, which is used to partially hide the head of the T-bolt 310 after installation, thereby preventing the head of the T-bolt 310 from protruding too much and easily causing wear to the photovoltaic module.
[0035] In this embodiment, the top of the fixing nut 330 has an adsorption groove 330a, which is used to generate negative pressure suction in the adsorption groove 330a after the fixing nut 330 and the T-bolt 310 are tightened after installation. The adsorption groove 330a increases the adsorption between the fixing nut 330 and the gasket 320, thereby enhancing the loosening performance of the fixing nut 330.
[0036] In this embodiment, the specific usage process is as follows: During installation, refer to... Figures 1-3First, the T-bolt 310 is pre-installed into the first mounting hole 110. Since the head of the T-bolt 310 needs to be rotated to a certain angle before it falls out of the first mounting hole 110, it is not easy to fall out, freeing up the worker's hands and eliminating the need for hand support. Then, the steel frame body 100 with the pre-installed T-bolt 310 is aligned with the second mounting hole 210 of the purlin body 200 to connect it to the purlin body 200. Then, the washer 320 and the fixing nut 330 are installed. During this process, the head of the T-bolt 310 will not rotate under the limitation of the folded edge on one side of the mounting groove 120. The worker only needs to operate one hand to tighten the fixing nut 330, which has high installation efficiency and good anti-loosening effect. After installation, the head of the T-bolt 310 covers the weak position of the first mounting hole 110, which plays a role in strength compensation for the steel frame body 100.
[0037] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
