Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic installation technology, and in particular to a connecting rail for waterborne photovoltaic installation. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic power generation system, or photovoltaic for short, refers to a power generation system that uses the photovoltaic effect of photovoltaic cells to directly convert solar radiation energy into electrical energy. During the installation of photovoltaic systems, photovoltaic panels are installed on connecting rails for connection and assembly, and then the connecting rails are connected to support frames for support installation.

[0003] During photovoltaic installation, photovoltaic panels are mounted on connecting rails. However, ordinary connecting rails have a simple, fixed, integrated structure. After the photovoltaic panels are connected, the two are firmly joined together, making it impossible to fine-tune the photovoltaic panels or change their position. Consequently, the flexibility of photovoltaic connection and installation is poor. Utility Model Content

The rail body includes an upper connecting rail and a lower connecting rail movably connected to the upper connecting rail. Side blocks are fixed to both end walls of the upper connecting rail. The end walls of the side blocks are provided with threaded holes for threading screws at equal intervals. Side seats are fixed to both end walls of the lower connecting rail. The end walls of the side seats are provided with side holes for threading screws to position and connect the photovoltaic panel.

[0007] Preferably, the upper rail has a groove, and the lower rail is embedded in the groove and movably connected to the upper rail.

[0008] Preferably, a screw rod is threaded through and connected to the center end wall of the lower rail. When the screw rod is tightened, the end of the screw rod contacts the end wall of the slide groove.

[0009] Preferably, the lower connecting rail is symmetrically distributed with respect to the center of the screw and has threaded holes through it, with screw heads connected to the internal threads of the threaded holes.

[0010] Preferably, a screw seat is fixed to the bottom wall of the screw head, and the number of screw heads and screw seats is four times the number of the lower connecting rails.

[0011] Preferably, a rubber disc for contacting the end wall of the installed photovoltaic panel is adhered to the bottom end wall of the screw seat.

[0012] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. Side blocks are fixedly connected to the end walls on both sides of the upper rail. Threaded holes on the side blocks are used to install bolted parts and positioning connection brackets for positioning and installing the upper rail.

[0014] 2. The upper rail is equipped with multiple lower rails, each of which is used to connect a photovoltaic panel. The lower rails are embedded in the sliding groove and slide along the length of the sliding groove to change their position. The position of the lower rails can be flexibly adjusted when installing or adjusting the position of the photovoltaic panel, making the use of the lower rails more flexible and convenient. After adjusting the position of the lower rails, tighten the screws to limit the position of the lower rails. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution for a connecting rail for waterborne photovoltaic installation:

[0023] like Figure 1-4As shown, a connecting rail for waterborne photovoltaic installation includes a rail body for connecting with a photovoltaic panel. The rail body includes an upper connecting rail 1 and a lower connecting rail 5 movably connected to the upper connecting rail 1. Side blocks 2 are fixedly connected to both end walls of the upper connecting rail 1. The end walls of the side blocks 2 are provided with threaded holes 3 for threading screws at equal intervals. Side seats 11 are fixedly connected to both end walls of the lower connecting rail 5. The end walls of the side seats 11 are provided with side holes 12 for threading screws to position and connect the photovoltaic panel.

[0024] The upper rail 1 has a sliding groove 4, the lower rail 5 is embedded in the sliding groove 4 and is movably connected to the upper rail 1. A screw 6 is threaded through and connected to the center end wall of the lower rail 5. When the screw 6 is tightened, the end of the screw 6 contacts the end wall of the sliding groove 4.

[0025] The lower rail 5 is symmetrically distributed with threaded holes 7 about the center of the screw 6, and the screw head 8 is connected to the internal thread of the threaded hole 7.

[0026] A screw seat 9 is fixed to the bottom wall of the screw head 8. The number of screw heads 8 and screw seats 9 is four times the number of the lower connecting rails 5. A rubber disc 10 for contacting the end wall of the installed photovoltaic panel is glued to the bottom wall of the screw seat 9.

[0027] Working principle:

[0028] Side blocks 2 are fixedly connected to the two end walls of the upper rail 1. Threaded holes 3 on the side blocks 2 are used to insert bolts and position and connect the bracket structure for positioning and installing the upper rail 1.

[0029] The upper rail 1 is provided with multiple lower rails 5, each of which is used to connect a photovoltaic panel. The lower rails 5 are all embedded in the slide groove 4. The lower rails 5 slide along the length of the slide groove 4 to change their position. When installing the photovoltaic panel and adjusting the position of the photovoltaic panel, the position of the lower rails 5 can be flexibly adjusted, making the use of the lower rails 5 more flexible and convenient. After adjusting the position of the lower rails 5, tighten the screw 6 to limit the lower rails 5.

[0030] A pair of side seats 11 are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower rail 5. Two oppositely distributed side holes 12 are provided on the side seats 11. There are a total of four side holes 12 on each lower rail 5, which are used to pass through screws and position and connect the photovoltaic panel and the lower rail 5.

[0031] Before connecting the photovoltaic panel to the lower rail 5, first rotate the screw seat 9. The screw hole 7 and screw head 8 are driven by the thread, changing the position of the screw head 8 and screw seat 9. This causes the rubber disc 10 made of rubber material to move accordingly, so that the photovoltaic panel contacts the end wall of the rubber disc 10 during installation, thereby providing cushioning and protecting the installed photovoltaic panel.

[0032] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
