Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic module installation technology, specifically, to a novel photovoltaic module installation bracket. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic (PV) modules are currently widely used green energy devices that directly convert solar energy into electricity using the photovoltaic effect. To facilitate sunlight reception, PV panels are often installed on rooftops or in open fields. A common installation method involves using concrete blocks for counterweights, then mounting metal beams on these blocks to form a support system, and finally installing the PV modules on top of the support system. Alternatively, other counterweight methods can be used instead of the concrete blocks. This installation method uses a variety of materials, is heavy, and has a complex construction process, especially when installed on rooftops, where the roof's load-bearing capacity is critical.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, people have been seeking an ideal technological solution. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a novel photovoltaic module mounting bracket that is modular in structure, compact and lightweight, easy to construct, and highly practical.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a novel photovoltaic module mounting bracket, comprising multiple integrated narrow frames arranged in a row, each of the integrated narrow frames comprising a ground support, a belly connector and a bearing platform connected sequentially from bottom to top, the ground support being used to support the ground, the bearing platform being inclined along the length direction of the integrated narrow frame, and a stud being vertically arranged at the middle position of the bearing platform in the width direction.

[0006] Beneficial effects: By arranging multiple integrated narrow frames in a row and installing tie rods between the studs on adjacent integrated narrow frames, the integrated narrow frames are mutually restrained (preventing lateral movement) to form a support system. During installation, the frames of two adjacent photovoltaic modules are respectively placed on both sides of the studs on the support platform, and then nuts are installed on the studs to press the frames of the photovoltaic modules together. This connects each photovoltaic module and each integrated narrow frame into one unit, ensuring installation strength.

[0007] Based on the above, the integrated narrow frame is a plastic narrow frame, and the abdominal connector includes a vertical plate located at the middle position in the width direction and several reinforcing plates located on both sides of the vertical plate, with each reinforcing plate being perpendicular to the vertical plate.

[0008] Beneficial effects: By using plastic material and setting several reinforcing plates on both sides of the upright plate, the amount of plastic used can be reduced while ensuring strength, making the integrated narrow frame smaller and lighter.

[0009] Based on the above, the ground support is provided with an upper recess, and when the ground support is supported on the ground, a gap is formed between the upper recess and the ground; the bearing platform is composed of multiple sub-platforms, and a recess is formed between the multiple sub-platforms, and when the photovoltaic module frame is placed on the multiple sub-platforms, a gap is formed between the recess and the photovoltaic module.

[0010] Beneficial effects: The upper and lower gaps facilitate wire threading and connection, and also reduce wind force and improve stability during windy weather.

[0011] Based on the above, the integrated narrow frame is provided with a blocking frame at the lower end of the bearing platform to support the bottom of the photovoltaic module.

[0012] Beneficial effect: The blocking frame can restrict the position of the bottom of the photovoltaic module and prevent it from sliding down.

[0013] Based on the above, the integrated narrow frame is divided into two specifications. The first specification of the integrated narrow frame has a groove at the higher end of the bearing platform, and the second specification of the integrated narrow frame has a protrusion at the higher end of the bearing platform. The two specifications of the integrated narrow frame can be engaged together through the groove and the protrusion.

[0014] Beneficial effects: The two specifications of integrated narrow frames can be interlocked back to back, with photovoltaic modules laid on both sides, which can guide the airflow from both sides and further improve the structural stability. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments. Example 1

[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a novel photovoltaic module mounting bracket includes multiple integrated narrow frames arranged in a row. Each integrated narrow frame includes a ground support 1, a belly connector 2, and a bearing platform 3 connected sequentially from bottom to top. The ground support 1 is used to support the device on the ground. The bearing platform 3 is inclined along the length direction of the integrated narrow frame. A stud 4 is vertically arranged at the middle position of the bearing platform 3 in the width direction.

[0023] To make the integrated narrow frame lighter and more compact, the integrated narrow frame is a plastic narrow frame. The abdominal connector 2 includes a vertical plate 21 located in the middle of the width direction and several reinforcing plates 22 located on both sides of the vertical plate 21. Each of the reinforcing plates 22 is perpendicular to the vertical plate 21. This can reduce the amount of plastic used while ensuring the support strength.

[0024] In practical use, multiple integrated narrow frames are arranged in a row, and tie rods 13 are installed between the studs 4 on adjacent integrated narrow frames. In this way, the integrated narrow frames are mutually restrained (to prevent left and right movement) to form a support system. During installation, the frames of two adjacent photovoltaic modules 8 are respectively placed on both sides of the studs 4 on the bearing platform 3, and then nuts 10 are installed on the studs 4. The nuts 10 are used to press the frames of the photovoltaic modules 8 tightly, thus connecting each photovoltaic module 8 and each integrated narrow frame into one, ensuring installation strength and facilitating construction.

[0025] To ensure paving stability, in this embodiment, the tilt angle of the bearing platform 3 can be set to a small value, for example, between 10-20°.

[0026] To facilitate wire connection, the ground support 1 is provided with an upper recess 5. When the ground support 1 is supported on the ground, a gap 7 is formed between the upper recess 5 and the ground. The bearing platform 3 is composed of multiple sub-platforms 31, and a recess 6 is formed between the multiple sub-platforms 31. When the frame of the photovoltaic module 8 is placed on the multiple sub-platforms 31, a gap 7 is formed between the recess 6 and the photovoltaic module 8. The upper and lower gaps 7 can also relieve some of the wind force in windy weather and improve stability.

[0027] To prevent the photovoltaic module 8 from sliding downwards, the integrated narrow frame is provided with a blocking frame 9 at the lower end of the support platform 3 to support the bottom of the photovoltaic module 8. Example 2

[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the integrated narrow frame is divided into two specifications. The first specification of the integrated narrow frame has a groove 11 at the higher end of the supporting platform 3, and the second specification of the integrated narrow frame has a protrusion 12 at the higher end of the supporting platform 3. The two specifications of the integrated narrow frame can be engaged together through the groove 10 and the protrusion 11. During installation, the two specifications of the integrated narrow frame can be engaged back to back, with the photovoltaic modules 8 laid on both sides, which guides the airflow from both sides and further improves the structural stability.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the specific implementation of this utility model or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by this utility model.
