[0031] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below through detailed embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-11 This embodiment provides a photovoltaic single-sloping beam support system, including support components arranged in the same vertical plane. The support components include an inclined main beam 1 and several columns 2 for supporting the main beam 1. Each column 2 is vertically distributed and spaced apart along the lower part of the main beam 1. The upper part of each column 2 is connected to a corner connector 3 through a first locking component 33. The upper part of the corner connector 3 is connected to the lower part of the main beam 1 through a second locking component 34. The upper part of the main beam 1 is connected to several clamping components 4 for fixing photovoltaic modules 8. The clamping components 4 include a third locking component 45, a pad, and a pressure bracket. The pad and the pressure bracket together clamp the photovoltaic module 8. The pad and the pressure bracket are connected to the upper part of the main beam 1 through the third locking component 45. The main beam is tilted and fixed by the cooperation of the column and the corner connector, and the photovoltaic modules are directly clamped on the main beam by the pad and the pressure plate, thus forming a stable photovoltaic single inclined beam support system. There is no need to set secondary beams and purlins, which reduces the amount of steel used, saves costs, and is relatively easy to install.
[0033] In some specific implementation methods, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5Each column 2 is connected to a concrete pier 6 at its lower part. A U-shaped anchor bolt 61 is pre-embedded and fixed at the top of the concrete pier 6. Each U-shaped anchor bolt 61 has two bolt heads equipped with fastening components 62. A support base 7 is connected to the bottom of each column 2. The support base 7 has a slotted hole 711 for the bolt heads of the U-shaped anchor bolts 61 to pass through. Thus, the column can be fixed to the concrete pier using the cooperation of the support base and the fastening components. Furthermore, the slotted hole allows for adjustment of the installation position to reduce installation errors. For example, the slotted hole is a 14*35mm oblong hole. The diameter of the U-shaped anchor bolt is M12mm.
[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the support base 7 includes a base plate 71 and a U-shaped connecting seat 72. The connecting seat 72 is vertically distributed and fixed to the upper surface of the base plate 71. A strip-shaped hole 711 is respectively opened at both ends of the base plate 71. A first mounting hole 721 is opened on the side wall of the connecting seat 72, and a second mounting hole 21 is opened at the lower part of the column 2. A fourth locking assembly 73 connects the first mounting hole 721 and the second mounting hole 21. Thus, the fourth locking assembly can be used to lock the column and the support base together.
[0035] In some specific embodiments, the first locking assembly 33, the second locking assembly 34, and the fourth locking assembly 73 all include bolts, each bolt being equipped with a nut, a flat washer, and a spring washer. As an example, the first locking assembly 33 includes an M10*70mm hex bolt, equipped with a nut, two flat washers, and a spring washer; the second locking assembly 34 includes an M10*30mm socket head cap screw, equipped with a nut, two flat washers, and a spring washer; and the fourth locking assembly 73 includes an M10*75mm hex bolt, equipped with a nut, two flat washers, and a spring washer.
[0036] As an example, the fastening assembly 62 includes a nut, a flat washer, and a spring washer.
[0037] In some specific implementation methods, participants Figure 1 and Figure 2 Each concrete pier 6 is fixed to a plane. For example, this plane is the roof 9.
[0038] In some specific implementation methods, such as Figure 1 As shown, the support assembly in the same span supports the inclined main beam 1 through three columns 2 of different heights. Specifically, as an example, the height specifications of the columns are 206mm, 363mm and 520mm respectively.
[0039] In some specific implementation methods, such as Figure 2 As shown, the support assembly has multiple members spaced apart along the vertical plane. A tie rod 5 connects the columns of two support assemblies at intervals of several spans. The tie rod 5 is connected to the column 2 via a fifth locking assembly 51. Adding tie rods significantly increases stability. For example, to improve support stability, a tie rod is installed at intervals of no more than five spans.
[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the main beam 1, the column 2, and the tie rod 5 are all U-shaped metal profiles, with bent edges on both sides of the groove. For example, the metal profile is a U42*41*2.0mm profile.
[0041] In some specific embodiments, both the third locking assembly 45 and the fifth locking assembly 51 include bolts, each equipped with a nut, a flat washer, and a spring washer. As an example, the third locking assembly 45 includes an M8*40mm hexagon socket head cap screw, equipped with a winged nut, a flat washer, and a spring washer; the fifth locking assembly 51 includes an M10*30mm hexagon socket head cap screw, equipped with a winged nut, a flat washer, and a spring washer.
[0042] In some specific implementation methods, refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 The pressure code includes a side pressure code 44 and a middle pressure code 43. The middle pressure code 43 includes two symmetrically distributed barbs 431 and a connecting plate 432 with bolt holes at the lower part of the two barbs 431. The side pressure code 44 includes a barb 431 and a connecting plate 432 with bolt holes at the lower part of the barb 431. (Reference) Figure 8 and Figure 9 The pads include an edge clamping pad 42 and a center clamping pad 41. The center clamping pad 41 includes a support plate 411 with bolt holes in the center and two limiting blocks 412 symmetrically distributed on both sides of the bolt holes. The edge clamping pad 42 includes a support plate 411 with bolt holes eccentrically distributed and two limiting blocks 412 symmetrically distributed on both sides of the bolt holes. Thus, the edge clamping pads and the edge clamping pads can be used to clamp and fix the edges of the photovoltaic modules on the side span, and the center clamping pads and the center clamping pads can be used to clamp and fix the edges of two adjacent photovoltaic modules in the middle span.
[0043] As an example, the edge pressure plate 44, the middle pressure plate 43, the middle pressure plate pad 41, and the edge pressure plate pad 42 are all aluminum alloy components.
[0044] In some specific implementation methods, refer to Figures 1-4 and Figure 7The corner connector 3 includes a fixed plate 31 and two support plates 32 vertically connected to both ends of the fixed plate 31. The fixed plate 31 has a third mounting hole 311 for connecting to the second locking assembly 34, and the two support plates 32 each have a fourth mounting hole 321 for connecting to the first locking assembly 33. The installation of the corner connector facilitates the installation and fixing of the main beam in an inclined position.
[0045] In some specific implementations, as examples, such as Figure 1 As shown, the tilt angle of the main beam 1 is 5 degrees, so that the photovoltaic module 8 can be fixedly installed at a tilt angle of 5 degrees.

Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
[0047] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
