[0041] like Figure 1-3 The present invention illustrates a column connection structure for photovoltaic brackets. Figure 1 In the middle, the surfaces of the two longitudinal web plates 12 that abut each other and the two opposing inner surfaces of the two side plates 11 are connected and fixed by two connectors 2; Figure 2 In the middle, the surfaces of the two longitudinal web plates 12 that abut each other and the two opposing inner surfaces of the two side plates 11 are connected and fixed by a connector 2; Figure 3 In the middle, the two longitudinal web plates 12 that abut each other and the two outer side plates 11 that are far apart are connected and fixed by four connectors 2. The two columns 1 can be fixed by the connectors 2 through these connection structures and the corresponding gap between the two columns 1 can be covered. No welding mounting plate is required.

[0042] In some embodiments, the column 1 is an H-shaped steel structure, and the connector 2 is a vertically arranged flat steel plate;

[0043] The first connector 2 has its plate surface abutting against the same plate surface of the two longitudinal web plates 12, and the second connector 2 has its plate surface abutting against the other plate surface of the two longitudinal web plates 12, and a plurality of first fasteners pass through the first connector 2, the longitudinal web plate 12 and the second connector 2 in sequence, and the first connector 2 and the second connector 2 are connected.

[0044] The third connector 2 and the fourth connector 2 abut against the outer surfaces of the two side plates 11 from both sides of the two opposing columns 1, and the third connector 2 and the fourth connector 2 are fixed to the two side plates 11 by a plurality of second fasteners.

[0045] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the embodiment shown, the connection between the two columns 1 of the H-shaped steel members, which are opposite each other, can be fixed and strengthened from four directions by the cooperation of four connectors 2 of flat steel plates, multiple first fasteners and multiple second fasteners, thereby improving the bending resistance of the connection between the two columns 1.

[0046] In other embodiments, both the column 1 and the connector 2 are vertically arranged C-shaped channel steel;

[0047] The outer peripheral surface of the connector 2 is in close contact with the inner peripheral surfaces of the two columns 1 located at the connection point, where they abut against each other.

[0048] The two longitudinal webs 12 are respectively fixed to the outside of the groove bottom of the connector 2 by a plurality of first fasteners;

[0049] The two side plates 11, which abut against each other, are fixed to the outside of the groove wall of the connector 2 by a plurality of second fasteners.

This improves the bending resistance of the connection between the two columns 1 and prevents the connectors 2 from being exposed on the two columns 1, thus achieving a good overall appearance.

[0057] Preferably, the first fastener and the second fastener are bolts or blind rivets.

[0058] Bolts or blind rivets of different diameters can be selected as the first or second fasteners according to the required bending strength.
