[0003] The common form of photovoltaic panel installation on the market is the top pressure block node (such as the photovoltaic module installation structure of a photovoltaic bracket disclosed in CN105227073A). For curved buildings (such as domes, arched roofs, irregular curtain walls, etc.), the top pressure block node structure cannot meet the requirements of stable installation of photovoltaic modules on complex curved surfaces and angle adjustment.

[0004] Currently, there is a lack of photovoltaic connection structures suitable for curved surface photovoltaic arrays. Utility Model Content

[0032] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] See Figures 1 to 8 Specific Embodiment 1: An internal pressure type curved building photovoltaic connection device includes a support frame 1, which includes a support plate for supporting photovoltaic modules 5 and two support plates for overlapping on building components 6. The support plate has two support plates fixed on its lower side. It also includes an L-shaped pressure member 2, one end of which abuts against the building component 6, and the other end of which overlaps on the sub-frame of the photovoltaic module 5. The L-shaped pressure member 2 and the support plate clamp the sub-frame of the photovoltaic module 5 from top to bottom. It also includes a locking member for pressing the L-shaped pressure member 2. The locking member includes a U-shaped bolt bent in a U-shape, a U-shaped pad 7 with the end face open downwards, and a locking nut. The L-shaped pressure member 2 and the U-shaped pad 7 have through holes for the U-shaped bolt to pass through. The U-shaped bolt 3 passes through the U-shaped pad 7 and is threadedly connected to the locking nut. The U-shaped pad 7 is semi-enclosed around the locking nut and abuts against the lower side of the building component. This utility model is applicable to photovoltaic connections on curved surfaces. The height of the photovoltaic module 5 from the surface of the building component is controlled by the height of the two supporting plates. The L-shaped clamp 2 presses the aluminum sub-frame of the module onto the support frame 1. The U-shaped pad 7 is U-shaped to protect the locking nut and prevent it from loosening due to external impacts.

[0034] The building component has through holes for the two bolt shanks of the U-bolt to pass through. Alternatively, if the building component is a beam, the two bolt shanks of the U-bolt can be located on opposite sides of the beam.

[0035] The two supporting panels can be the same or different in height. Whether the supporting panels at different node positions have the same height depends on whether the longitudinal spacing between the surface of the building component and the photovoltaic module is the same. When the surface of the building component and the longitudinal spacing of the photovoltaic module are the same, the supporting panels have the same height. When the surface of the building component and the longitudinal spacing of the photovoltaic module are different, the supporting panels have different heights.

[0036] The L-shaped clamp 2 includes a first bent portion 22 and a second bent portion 21 connected in sequence. The second bent portion 21 is vertically arranged. The end of the first bent portion 22 away from the second bent portion 21 is connected to a horizontally arranged overlapping portion 23, which overlaps on the sub-frame of the photovoltaic module 5. The included angle α between the first bent portion 22 and the second bent portion 21 is 80-85°. A through hole is provided on the first bent portion 22. The through hole is an oblong hole. The included angle b between the first bent portion and the overlapping portion is 175°. The end of the overlapping portion abuts against the longitudinal sidewall of the sub-frame of the photovoltaic module.

[0037] The L-shaped pressure piece 2 and the U-shaped pad 7 have two through holes; the two through holes are arranged one in front of the other, and the length of the through holes in the front-to-back direction is greater than the length of the through holes in the left-to-right direction.

[0038] A polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) gasket 4 is sandwiched between the L-shaped clamping member and the sub-frame of the photovoltaic module 5. One function of this gasket is to reduce friction between the sub-frame of the photovoltaic module 5 and the L-shaped clamping member 2. Another function is to prevent electrochemical corrosion between the aluminum and steel surfaces caused by the L-shaped clamping member and the sub-frame of the photovoltaic module.

[0039] L-shaped pressure piece 2 is made of steel profile, and the support frame is made of steel profile.

[0040] The length of support frame 1 in the front-to-back direction is less than the length of L-shaped pressure member 2 in the front-to-back direction. The length of support plate in the front-to-back direction is equal to the length of support upright plate in the front-to-back direction.

[0041] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
