Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic module technology, specifically to a side pressing block suitable for various photovoltaic module thicknesses. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic modules are the core component of a solar photovoltaic system, responsible for converting solar energy into direct current (DC) power to provide electricity for various applications. Edge clamps, as an indispensable part of the photovoltaic module installation process, mainly serve to fix the photovoltaic modules to the bracket, ensuring the stability of the modules during long-term use, while also ensuring the electrical connection and sealing performance between the modules and the bracket.

[0003] Side clamps are used to fix photovoltaic modules. Existing side clamps are often designed for photovoltaic modules of a specific thickness. Different thicknesses of modules require different specifications of side clamps. When the thickness of the photovoltaic module changes, the original side clamps may not be able to be used properly. When the thickness of the module increases, the side clamps originally designed for thinner modules may not be able to provide sufficient clamping force, which can cause the module to loosen after installation. In addition, the existing structure is relatively complex and is easily damaged during use, which is not conducive to personnel use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an edge pressing block suitable for various photovoltaic module thicknesses, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: an edge pressing block suitable for various photovoltaic module thicknesses, including a pressing block base plate; a support plate is provided at the top of the pressing block base plate, a first pressing block is provided on one side of the support plate, a second pressing block is provided on one side of the top of the first pressing block, the pressing surfaces of the second pressing block and the first pressing block are both provided with anti-slip serrations, and an auxiliary pressing structure is provided inside the first pressing block and the second pressing block above the anti-slip serrations, and a fixing mechanism is installed on one side of the auxiliary clamping structure.

[0006] Preferably, the auxiliary pressing structure includes a pressing block disposed above the anti-slip serrations and inside the first pressing block and the second pressing block. A spring is installed on the top of the pressing block, and a top rod is installed at the center of the pressing block inside the spring. The top of the top rod is spherical.

[0007] Preferably, the fixing mechanism includes a push block disposed above the top rod, the push block being inclined on one side of the top rod, a collar being installed on one side of the top rod, and a screw being rotatably installed inside the collar, one end of the screw passing through the interior of the first pressure block and the second pressure block.

[0008] Preferably, the first and second pressure blocks have transmission grooves on their inner walls near the screw, and the screw is connected to the inside of the transmission grooves.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the pressure block base plate is provided with a protective pad, and the bottom of the protective pad is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0010] Preferably, the protective pad and the base plate of the pressure block are provided with fixing holes, and a fixing component is fixedly installed inside the fixing holes.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. This utility model uses a first pressing block, a second pressing block, and anti-slip serrations in combination. The first pressing block and the second pressing block have a height difference, which allows the edge pressing block to be used for two different thicknesses of modules at the same time. This solves the problem of the edge pressing block being unusable when the module is changed. Moreover, it is integrally molded and not easily damaged during use. The anti-slip serrations can increase the contact area between the first or second pressing block and the photovoltaic module, so that the pressure is evenly distributed on the edge of the module, reducing the risk of module damage caused by excessive local pressure, and thus facilitating the use by personnel.

[0013] 2. This utility model uses a screw, push block, top rod, spring, and pressure block in combination. By rotating the screw, one end of the screw pushes the push block connected to it to move along a predetermined direction. The inclined surface at the bottom of the push block will squeeze the top rod, causing the spring on the outside of the top rod to deform and push the top rod to move downward. This, in turn, drives the pressure block connected to it to move downward synchronously. As the pressure block moves downward, it fits more tightly against the edge of the photovoltaic module, which can play an auxiliary role in fixing the photovoltaic module. This avoids the first and second pressure blocks not being completely fitted against the photovoltaic module, which would affect the edge-pressing effect of the pressure block on the photovoltaic module.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments;

[0021] Example:

[0022] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Please refer to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1 to 4 This application provides an edge clamping block suitable for various photovoltaic module thicknesses; please refer to it carefully. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The base plate includes a pressure block 1; the top of the pressure block 1 is provided with a support plate 101, a first pressure block 2 is provided on one side of the support plate 101, a second pressure block 3 is provided on one side of the top of the first pressure block 2, the pressing surfaces of the second pressure block 3 and the first pressure block 2 are both provided with anti-slip serrations 4, the interior of the first pressure block 2 and the second pressure block 3 above the anti-slip serrations 4 are both provided with auxiliary pressing structures, and a fixing mechanism is installed on one side of the auxiliary clamping structure.

[0023] Specifically, the edge pressing block consists of a base plate 1, a support plate 101, a first pressing block 2, and a second pressing block 3. The anti-slip serrations 4 increase the contact area between the first pressing block 2 or the second pressing block 3 and the photovoltaic module, ensuring even pressure distribution at the module edge. This reduces the risk of damage due to excessive local pressure and enhances friction, improving edge pressing stability. Before use, the first pressing block 2 or the second pressing block 3 is positioned above the edge of the photovoltaic module according to its thickness. Then, the base plate 1 is securely installed in the predetermined position using bolts, providing a solid and reliable support foundation for the entire edge pressing block structure. The height difference between the first pressing block 2 and the second pressing block 3 cleverly accommodates two different thicknesses of photovoltaic modules for edge pressing and fixing. When dealing with thinner photovoltaic modules, the lower first pressing block 2 can be used, while when fixing thicker photovoltaic modules, the higher second pressing block 3 can be used. This gives the edge pressing block wide applicability, easily handling the fixing of photovoltaic modules of various specifications, greatly improving work efficiency and fixing effect.

[0024] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 and Figure 3The auxiliary pressing structure includes a pressing block 5 disposed inside the first pressing block 2 and the second pressing block 3 above the anti-slip saw teeth 4. A spring 501 is installed on the top of the pressing block 5. A top rod 502 is installed at the center of the pressing block 5 inside the spring 501. The top of the top rod 502 is spherical.

[0025] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The fixing mechanism includes a push block 6 disposed above the top rod 502. The push block 6 is located on one side of the top rod 502 and is inclined. A collar 601 is installed on one side of the top rod 502. A screw 602 is rotatably installed inside the collar 601. One end of the screw 602 passes through the interior of the first pressure block 2 and the second pressure block 3.

[0026] Specifically, in order to achieve the auxiliary fixing function of the photovoltaic module pressed by the first pressing block 2 or the second pressing block 3, when the user rotates the screw 602, the screw 602 rotates smoothly through the thread structure. During the rotation, one end of the screw 602 rotates inside the collar 601. This rotation is converted into linear motion, thereby pushing the push block 6 connected to it to move along a predetermined direction. The inclined surface at the bottom of the push block 6 interacts with the top rod 502 during the movement. When the push block 6 moves, its inclined surface at the bottom will precisely squeeze the top rod 502, causing the spring 501 on the outside of the top rod 502 to deform. The elastic force generated by this deformation further pushes the top rod 502 to move downward, thereby driving the pressing block 5 connected to it to move downward synchronously. As the pressing block 5 moves downward, it fits more tightly against the edge of the photovoltaic module, which can play an auxiliary fixing role for the pressed photovoltaic module, greatly improving the stability and reliability of the entire photovoltaic module system.

[0027] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first pressure block 2 and the second pressure block 3 are provided with a transmission groove 7 on the inner wall near the screw 602. The screw 602 is connected to the inside of the transmission groove 7. The outer surface of the screw 602 is machined with a precision thread structure. These threads and the corresponding threads on the inner wall of the transmission groove 7 form a perfect meshing mechanism.

[0028] Specifically, in order to fix the moving position of the push block 6, when the user slowly rotates the screw 602, the thread on the outer surface of the screw 602 will tightly mesh with the thread on the inner wall of the transmission groove 7, and produce a smooth and powerful transmission effect, causing the screw 602 to move along the predetermined direction, driving the push block 6 to move synchronously to the required position. While the screw 602 drives the push block 6 to move, the tight engagement between its thread and the thread on the inner wall of the transmission groove 7 can firmly lock the screw 602 in the transmission groove 7, thereby indirectly fixing the moving position of the push block 6.

[0029] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bottom of the pressure block base plate 1 is provided with a protective pad 104. The bottom of the protective pad 104 is provided with anti-slip texture. The protective pad 104 is made of rubber material and has good wear resistance and anti-aging properties.

[0030] Specifically, in order to protect the bottom of the pressing block base plate 1, the protective pad 104 can provide durable and reliable protection for the pressing block base plate 1. Anti-slip texture is added to its bottom. These anti-slip textures can significantly enhance the anti-slip performance of the pressing block base plate 1 when it rubs against the contact surface. At the same time, it can isolate sharp objects, corrosive substances and daily wear from the outside world, thereby greatly extending the service life of the pressing block base plate 1.

[0031] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The protective pad 104 and the pressure block base plate 1 are provided with fixing holes 102. Fixing components 103 are fixedly installed inside the fixing holes 102. Fixing components 103 are fixing bolts.

[0032] Specifically, in order to fix the base plate 1, the user operates the fixing part 103 and guides it smoothly through the pre-designed fixing hole 102. Then, using the threaded structure on the fixing part 103, the user can easily tighten it until the base plate 1 is firmly locked in the predetermined position, thereby achieving the stable installation of the base plate 1. At the same time, through its pressing edge design, the photovoltaic module can be effectively fixed and supported, thereby ensuring the stable and reliable operation of the entire photovoltaic system.

[0033] Working principle: Before use, the first pressure block 2 or the second pressure block 3 is positioned above the edge of the photovoltaic module according to the thickness of the photovoltaic module. The user operates the fixing part 103 to guide it smoothly through the pre-designed fixing hole 102 until the pressure block base plate 1 is firmly locked in the predetermined position. When dealing with thinner photovoltaic modules, the first pressure block 2 with a lower height can be selected, while when it is necessary to fix thicker photovoltaic modules, the second pressure block 3 with a higher height can be switched. At the same time, the user rotates the screw 602, and one end of the screw 602 rotates inside the collar 601, pushing the push block 6 connected to it to move along the predetermined direction. The inclined surface at the bottom of the push block 6 interacts with the top rod 502 during the movement. When the push block 6 moves, the inclined surface at its bottom will precisely squeeze the top rod 502, causing the spring 501 on the outside of the top rod 502 to deform and push the top rod 502 to move downward. As the pressure block 5 moves downward, it can play an auxiliary role in fixing the photovoltaic module on the edge.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications and equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
