Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of splicing connector technology, specifically a solar panel splicing connector. Background Technology

[0002] Solar energy is generated by the fusion of hydrogen atoms inside the sun, releasing enormous nuclear energy. It is the radiation energy from the sun. A solar panel is a thin photovoltaic semiconductor chip that directly generates electricity using sunlight. It is also known as a "solar chip" or "photovoltaic cell". As long as it is exposed to certain illuminance conditions, it can instantly output voltage and generate current when there is a circuit.

[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered the following problems: Currently, solar panel splicing generally adopts the fixing method of bolts and nuts. When disassembling or reinstalling the spliced ​​solar panels in the later stage, it is necessary to retighten the bolts and disassemble them. During repeated disassembly and reassembly, the threads of the bolts are prone to stripping and deformation. Especially in the outdoor environment of wind and sun, bolt corrosion will further aggravate the difficulty of disassembly and greatly reduce the efficiency of later maintenance of solar panels.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provided a solar panel splicing connection buckle in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content

[0016] Furthermore, a first connecting plate is fixedly installed on both sides of the fixing frame, and a second connecting plate is fixedly installed on both sides of the mounting frame. Mounting holes are provided on both sides of the upper end of the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate.

[0017] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the mounting holes of the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate can be used to fix the fixing frame and the mounting frame to the edge of the adjacent solar panels respectively through bolts, so that the connecting buckle and the solar panel form an integral structure, which enhances the overall stability after splicing and prevents individual solar panels from shaking.

[0018] Furthermore, both the fixing bracket and the mounting bracket are made of stainless steel, and several sealing strips are sleeved on the outer side of the insertion rod, with the outer side of the sealing strip abutting against the inner side wall of the locking groove.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a solar panel splicing connector, including a fixing mechanism 1 and an installation mechanism 2. The fixing mechanism 1 includes a fixing frame 101, one end of which is fixedly mounted with a plug rod 103, and one end of the plug rod 103 has a pair of L-shaped slots 104. The installation mechanism 2 includes an installation frame 201, one end of which has a locking groove 205. The plug rod 103 is inserted into the locking groove 205. A bidirectional screw 206 is rotatably connected inside the locking groove 205. Both ends of the bidirectional screw 206 are threadedly connected with sliders 207. One end of each slider 207 is symmetrically mounted with an L-shaped locking block 208. The L-shaped locking block 208 is engaged with the L-shaped slot 104. After the insertion rod 103 of the fixing mechanism 1 is inserted into the locking groove 205 of the mounting mechanism 2, the rotating wheel 204 drives the bidirectional screw 206 through the worm gear 210 and worm wheel 209, so that the slider 207 drives the L-shaped locking block 208 to engage with the L-shaped slot 104, realizing the rapid splicing and fixing of the solar panel.

The stainless steel fixing frame 101 and mounting frame 201 improve the structural strength, and the sealing strip 105 enhances the connection sealing and prevents rainwater from seeping in, thus improving the overall stability and convenience of solar panel splicing.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-5The locking groove 205 has a sliding groove on its inner side. A pair of sliders 207 are slidably connected to the pair of sliding grooves. A transmission box 203 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting bracket 201. One end of the bidirectional screw 206 extends through the transmission box 203 and is fitted with a worm gear 209. A worm 210 is rotatably connected to the inside of the transmission box 203 on one side of the worm gear 209. The worm 210 and the worm gear 209 mesh with each other. A rotating wheel 204 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the transmission box 203. The bottom center shaft of the rotating wheel 204 is connected to the top of the worm 210. The slider 207 is slidably connected to the sliding groove, which guides and limits the movement of the slider 207. This ensures that when the bidirectional screw 206 rotates, the slider 207 drives the L-shaped locking block 208 to move smoothly and accurately engage with the L-shaped slot 104, improving the splicing. For stable reliability, the transmission box 203 provides installation and protection space for the worm gear 209 and worm 210, preventing external dust and impurities from affecting the transmission. At the same time, it ensures the stable transmission of the bidirectional screw 206 and the slider 207, ensuring that the locking action of the L-shaped locking block 208 is precise and controllable. The meshing transmission of the worm 210 and worm gear 209 transmits the rotational power of the rotating wheel 204 to the bidirectional screw 206. The transmission of the worm 210 and worm gear 209 has a self-locking function, which can prevent the L-shaped locking block 208 from loosening, ensuring a stable connection between the insertion rod 103 and the locking groove 205, and preventing the solar panel from separating after splicing. The rotating wheel 204 provides a convenient manual drive for the worm 210, allowing users to quickly rotate the worm 210 to lock and unlock the L-shaped locking block 208, improving the operational efficiency of solar panel splicing.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Please see Figures 1-5The fixing bracket 101 has a first connecting plate 102 fixedly installed on both sides, and the mounting bracket 201 has a second connecting plate 202 fixedly installed on both sides. Mounting holes are provided on both sides of the upper end of the first connecting plate 102 and the second connecting plate 202. Both the fixing bracket 101 and the mounting bracket 201 are made of stainless steel. Several sealing strips 105 are sleeved on the outer side of the insertion rod 103. The outer side of the sealing strips 105 abuts against the inner side wall of the locking groove 205. The mounting holes of the first connecting plate 102 and the second connecting plate 202 can be fixed with bolts. The bracket 101 and mounting bracket 201 are fixed to the edges of adjacent solar panels, so that the connecting buckle and the solar panel form an integral structure, which enhances the overall stability after splicing and prevents individual solar panels from shaking. The stainless steel fixing bracket 101 and mounting bracket 201 are corrosion resistant and high-strength, adaptable to harsh outdoor environments, and extend the service life of the connecting buckle. The sealing strip 105 fills the gap between the insert rod 103 and the locking groove 205, enhances the sealing of the connection, prevents rainwater from seeping in and causing the components to rust, and ensures the long-term stability of the splicing structure.

[0033] Specifically, the working principle of this type of solar panel splicing connector is as follows: In use, the fixing bracket 101 and the mounting bracket 201 are first fixed to the edges of adjacent solar panels using bolts through the mounting holes of the first connecting plate 102 and the second connecting plate 202. During splicing, the insertion rod 103 at one end of the fixing bracket 101 is inserted into the locking groove 205 of the mounting bracket 201. The sealing strip 105 on the outside of the insertion rod 103 abuts against the inner wall of the locking groove 205 to form a seal, and the L-shaped locking block 208 also extends into the L-shaped slot 104. Then, the connection is made... The rotating wheel 204 drives the worm gear 210 in the transmission box 203 to rotate via the central shaft. The worm gear 210 meshes with the worm wheel 209, causing the bidirectional screw 206 to rotate in the locking groove 205. The slider 207 slides along the groove and drives the L-shaped locking block 208 to move towards each other. Finally, the L-shaped locking block 208 engages and locks with the L-shaped slot 104 on the insertion rod 103, achieving a stable splicing of the two solar panels. The self-locking function of the worm gear 210 and the worm wheel 209 ensures that the connection is not loose, and the whole process completes the efficient and sealed splicing of the solar panels.
