Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic module installation technology, specifically a lightweight and flexible module installation structure. Background Technology

[0002] Lightweight and flexible photovoltaic modules are increasingly in demand due to their lighter weight and bendability. They are used in industrial and commercial buildings with insufficient load-bearing capacity, residential roofs with insufficient load-bearing capacity, roofs with a certain slope, and curved roofs.

[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent with Chinese patent publication number CN218648756U, which discloses an easy-to-install flexible and lightweight photovoltaic module, comprising: a flexible and lightweight photovoltaic panel and a plurality of elastic support mechanisms located on one side thereof; the top of the elastic support mechanism is provided with an upper adhesive layer, the bottom of the elastic support mechanism is provided with a lower adhesive layer, and the bottom of the back panel of the flexible and lightweight photovoltaic panel is connected to the elastic support mechanism through the upper adhesive layer.

[0004] Most existing lightweight flexible components are fixed to metal roofs such as corrugated steel sheets by direct adhesive bonding. For non-metallic roofs, especially asphalt shingle roofs and cement roofs with a certain curvature, the following problems exist: If the installation is carried out with the help of a carrier as described in the above patent, the overall structure of the carrier is relatively rigid and cannot be fully integrated with the curved or other irregular roofs. This may result in the instability of the flexible components, leaving room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lightweight and flexible component installation structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a lightweight flexible component installation structure, comprising a photovoltaic module and several supporting components, wherein the photovoltaic module is positioned directly above the several supporting components, and the supporting components include a support strip placed at the bottom of the photovoltaic module, wherein the support strip has several peaks and troughs in the middle, the peaks and troughs being arranged alternately, and the photovoltaic module being adhered to the outer wall of the top of the peaks.

[0007] The support strips can support lightweight, flexible photovoltaic modules and are adaptable to various roof surfaces, improving the stability of the fixed photovoltaic modules. Several support strips are placed on the top of the roof and then connected and fixed to the roof using structural adhesive. Because the support strips are relatively thin, they can bend according to the shape of the roof, as shown in the figure, thus ensuring sufficient stability when the support strips are fixed. The several crests in the middle of the support strips support the photovoltaic modules, creating a gap between them and the roof, while the several troughs allow for smooth airflow. The heat dissipated by the photovoltaic modules can also be transferred to the crests, and the airflow at the crests helps with heat dissipation. The ample heat dissipation space helps to extend the lifespan of the photovoltaic modules. Finally, the photovoltaic modules are fixed to the top of the crests using structural adhesive to complete the installation.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, two connecting components are installed between two adjacent support bars, with the two connecting components located at both ends of the support bars respectively.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the connecting assembly includes two fixing plates detachably connected to the top outer walls of two support bars. One of the fixing plates has a connecting rod hinged inside, and the other fixing plate has a vertically arranged connecting pin fixedly connected to the top outer wall. One end of the connecting rod is slidably inserted into the same connecting seat as the connecting pin.

[0010] The connecting rod is hinged inside the flip-fixed plate. One end of the connecting rod is inserted into the connecting pin. Then, the connecting seat passes through the connecting pin and the connecting rod, and the connection is completed. Therefore, the connecting rod can only be flipped in the vertical direction to ensure that the installation is not obstructed. When one of the support bars tends to shift, the support bar can use the connecting rod to leverage the other support bars, ensuring that the overall state of the device is stable enough and will not easily detach from the roof.

[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a guide plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of each of the two support bars on opposite sides, and both guide plates are arranged in an inclined manner.

[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, several of the support strips are made of profiled steel sheet or resin, and the thickness of the support strips is between .-.mm.

[0013] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the photovoltaic module is a lightweight and flexible module.

[0014] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the wave peak is arranged in a trapezoidal shape.

[0015] This utility model provides a lightweight and flexible component installation structure, which has the following advantages:

[0016] (1) By setting up a support component, this utility model can support the lightweight and flexible photovoltaic module, and the support strip can adapt to the installation of various roofs, which is conducive to improving the stability of the photovoltaic module when it is fixed. Several support strips are placed on the top of the roof, and then structural adhesive is used to connect and fix them to the roof. Since the support strip is relatively thin, it can be bent according to the shape of the roof, as shown in the figure, so that the support strip is stable enough when it is fixed. Several peaks set in the middle of the support strip can support the photovoltaic module and create a gap between it and the roof. Several troughs can allow the air to flow smoothly, and the heat emitted by the photovoltaic module can also be transferred to the top of the peak. Then the air flow at the top of the peak helps to dissipate heat. The heat dissipation space is sufficient, which is conducive to improving the service life of the photovoltaic module. Finally, the photovoltaic module is fixed to the top wall of the peak with structural adhesive to complete the installation.

[0017] (2) By setting up a connecting component, the connecting rod hinged inside the flipped fixing plate is inserted into the connecting pin at one end. Then the connecting seat passes through the connecting pin and the connecting rod, and the connection is completed. Therefore, the connecting rod can only be flipped in the vertical direction to ensure that the installation is not hindered. When one of the support bars has a tendency to shift, the support bar can use the connecting rod to leverage the force of the other support bars to ensure that the overall state of the device is stable enough and will not easily detach from the roof.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0024] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a lightweight flexible component installation structure includes a photovoltaic module 1 and several support components 3. The photovoltaic module 1 is located directly above the several support components 3. The support components 3 include a support strip 301 placed at the bottom of the photovoltaic module 1. Several peaks 302 and troughs 303 are provided in the middle of the support strip 301. The several peaks 302 and several troughs 303 are arranged alternately. The photovoltaic module 1 is bonded to the top outer wall of the several peaks 302.

[0025] Several support strips 301 are placed on the top of the roof, and then they are connected and fixed to the roof using structural adhesive. Because the support strips 301 are relatively thin, they can be bent according to the shape of the roof, such as... Figure 3 As shown, this ensures that the support bar 301 is sufficiently stable when fixed. The several peaks 302 in the middle of the support bar 301 can support the photovoltaic module 1, creating a gap between it and the roof. The several troughs 303 allow air to flow smoothly, and the heat emitted by the photovoltaic module 1 can also be transferred to the top of the peaks 302. The airflow at the top of the peaks 302 then helps to dissipate heat. With sufficient heat dissipation space, it is beneficial to improve the service life of the photovoltaic module 1. Finally, the photovoltaic module 1 is fixed to the top wall of the peaks 302 using structural adhesive to complete the installation.

[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, two connecting components 4 are installed between two adjacent support bars 301, and the two connecting components 4 are located at both ends of the support bar 301 respectively.

[0027] The connecting assembly 4 includes two fixed plates 401 that are detachably connected to the top outer wall of two support bars 301. One fixed plate 401 has a connecting rod 402 hinged inside, and the other fixed plate 401 has a vertically set connecting pin 404 fixedly connected to the top outer wall. One end of the connecting rod 402 is slidably inserted into the same connecting seat 403 as the connecting pin 404.

[0028] The connecting rod 402, which is hinged inside the flip-fixed plate 401, is inserted into the connecting pin 404 at one end. Then, the connecting seat 403 passes through the connecting pin 404 and the connecting rod 402, and the connection is completed. Therefore, the connecting rod 402 can only be flipped in the vertical direction to ensure that the installation is not obstructed. When one of the support bars 301 tends to shift, the support bar 301 can use the connecting rod 402 to leverage the force of the other support bars 301, ensuring that the overall state of the device is stable enough and will not easily detach from the roof.

[0029] like Figure 1As shown, a guide plate 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of each of the two support bars 301 on opposite sides. Both guide plates 2 are set at an angle, and the guide plates 2 can receive more airflow, thereby making the photovoltaic module 1 dissipate heat faster.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, several support bars 301 are made of profiled steel sheet or resin, and the thickness of the support bars 301 is between 0.15-1.5mm, which allows the support bars 301 to be bent.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, photovoltaic module 1 is a lightweight flexible module, which can be a crystalline silicon flexible module, a MWT crystalline silicon flexible module, or a thin-film flexible module. This type of module is flexible and can be deformed.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the peak 302 is arranged in a trapezoidal shape. This structure is relatively stable and ensures that the photovoltaic module 1 is in a sufficiently stable state.

[0033] This utility model provides a lightweight and flexible component installation structure, the specific working principle of which is as follows:

[0034] During operation, several support bars 301 are placed on the roof top and then fixed to the roof using structural adhesive. Because the support bars 301 are relatively thin, they can be bent to conform to the shape of the roof. Figure 3 As shown, this design ensures sufficient stability when the support bar 301 is fixed. The several peaks 302 in the middle of the support bar 301 support the photovoltaic module 1, creating a gap between it and the roof. The several troughs 303 allow for smooth airflow, and the heat emitted by the photovoltaic module 1 is transferred to the top of the peaks 302. The airflow at the top of the peaks 302 then aids in heat dissipation. Sufficient heat dissipation space contributes to improving the lifespan of the photovoltaic module 1. Finally, structural adhesive is used to fix the photovoltaic module 1 to the top wall of the peaks 302, completing the process. To install, flip the connecting rod 402, which is hinged inside the fixed plate 401. One end of the connecting rod 402 is inserted into the connecting pin 404. Then, the connecting seat 403 passes through the connecting pin 404 and the connecting rod 402, thus completing the connection. Therefore, the connecting rod 402 can only be flipped vertically to ensure that the installation is not obstructed. Furthermore, if one of the support bars 301 tends to shift, the support bar 301 can use the connecting rod 402 to leverage the force of the other support bars 301, ensuring that the overall state of the device is stable enough and will not easily detach from the roof.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
