[0033] According to the first embodiment of the photovoltaic roof cleaning water pipe fixing device of this utility model, please refer to... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the photovoltaic roof cleaning water pipe fixing device includes a roof panel 1, a central support 2, a water pipe 3, a support plate 4, a metal pipe clamp 5, and a fastening assembly 6. The roof panel 1 has a groove 11, and the groove 11 has an installation groove 110. The central support 2 clamps the groove 11 of the roof panel 1. The water pipe 3 is used to transport cleaning water, and the support plate 4 is used to support the water pipe 3. The metal pipe clamp 5 surrounds the water pipe 3. The fastening assembly 6 is at least partially located in the installation groove 110 and connects the support plate 4 and the metal pipe clamp 5, so that the support plate 4 and the metal pipe clamp 5 are fixedly connected to the roof panel 1.
[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the roof panel 1 includes a panel body 12, a first locking edge 13 connected to one side of the panel body 12, and a second locking edge 14 connected to the other side of the panel body 12. The first locking edges 13 and second locking edges 14 of adjacent panel bodies 12 are locked together, and the locked first locking edges 13 and second locking edges 14 are used to support photovoltaic modules. Each panel body 12 includes a groove 11, which is an inverted T-shape; therefore, the mounting groove 110 is a T-groove. Please refer to... Figure 2 As shown, the groove 11 includes a first wall portion 111 and a second wall portion 112 opposite to the first wall portion 111.
[0035] Please refer to Figure 2As shown, the central support 2 includes a first support 21 and a second support 22. The first support 21 includes a first base plate 211, a first side plate 212 perpendicularly connected to the first base plate 211, a first clamping part 213 connected to the first side plate 212, and a first support plate 214 connected to the first clamping part 213. The second support 22 includes a second base plate 221, a second side plate 222 perpendicularly connected to the second base plate 221, a second clamping part 223 connected to the second side plate 222, and a second support plate 224 connected to the second clamping part 223. Both the first support plate 214 and the second support plate 224 abut against the roof panel 1, providing support for the roof panel 1. The first clamping part 213 and the second clamping part 223 form a clamping space 20. The first side plate 212 and the second side plate 222 are connected by a second bolt, thereby fixing the first support 21 and the second support 22 together, and also facilitating the central support 2 to clamp the groove 11 of the roof panel 1. The first base plate 211 and the second base plate 221 are configured to be connected to the roof purlins. Specifically, both the first base plate 211 and the second base plate 221 are connected to the roof purlins by the third bolts, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the central support 2 and the roof purlins.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the first clamping part 213 is connected to the first support plate 214 through the first arc-shaped part 215, providing elastic support. The second clamping part 223 is connected to the second support plate 224 through the second arc-shaped part 225, providing elastic support.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the photovoltaic roof cleaning water pipe fixing device also includes a pair of reinforcing members 7, which together clamp the first side plate 212 and the second side plate 222, and the second bolt is also inserted through the reinforcing member 7.
[0038] Metal pipe clamp 5 is made of galvanized steel, which is corrosion-resistant and rust-resistant, thus extending its service life. Metal pipe clamp 5 is a single piece. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 2 As shown, the metal pipe clamp 5 includes a pipe clamp body 51, a first connecting part 52 connected to one end of the pipe clamp body 51, and a second connecting part 53 connected to the other end of the pipe clamp body 51. The pipe clamp body 51 surrounds the water pipe 3. The fastening component 6 passes through the first connecting part 52, the second connecting part 53, and the support plate 4 and extends into the mounting groove 110, thereby connecting the metal pipe clamp 5, the support plate 4, and the roof panel 1. The cleaning water pipe fixing device provided by this utility model allows the support plate 4 and the metal pipe clamp 5 to be fixedly connected to the roof panel 1 only through the fastening component 6, which facilitates installation and improves work efficiency. The metal pipe clamp 5 has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, and has low cost.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 3As shown, the angle between the first connecting part 52 and the first tangent T1 at one end of the pipe clamp body 51 does not exceed 40°. By setting such a bending angle between the pipe clamp body 51 and the first connecting part 52, the pipe clamp body 51 can wrap around the water pipe 3 as much as possible, improving the stability of the water pipe 3. The second connecting part 53 coincides with the second tangent T2 at the other end of the pipe clamp body 51, so that the second connecting part 53 naturally transitions into a straight shape, which is conducive to the fastening component 6 being inserted and connected.
[0040] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the fastening assembly 6 includes a first bolt 61, a bolt clip 62, and a nut 63. The bolt clip 62 is sleeved on the first bolt 61. The nut 611 of the first bolt 61 and the bolt clip 62 are both provided in the mounting groove 110. The first bolt 61 passes through the first through hole 522 of the first connecting part 52, the second through hole 532 of the second connecting part 53, and the third through hole of the support plate 4, and is locked by the nut 63.
[0041] The width of the bolt clip 62 is adapted to the width between the first wall portion 111 and the second wall portion 112, and the width of the bolt clip 62 is greater than the width of the nut 611 of the first bolt 61. This arrangement allows the first bolt 61 to fit more tightly with the roof panel 1, thereby making the connection between the support plate 4 and the roof panel 1 more stable.
[0042] According to the second embodiment of the photovoltaic roof cleaning water pipe fixing device of this utility model, please refer to... Figure 5 As shown, the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that a baffle 41 is provided on the side of the support plate 4 away from the fastening component 6, and the baffle 41 is vertically connected to the support plate 4. By providing the baffle 41, the water pipe 3 is less likely to fall off the support plate 4 during installation and use.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a positioning post 42 is welded onto the support plate 4. The positioning post 42 passes through the first positioning hole 521 of the first connecting part 52 and the second positioning hole 531 of the second connecting part 53. By setting the positioning post 42, the metal pipe clamp 5 is positioned, facilitating installation. The positioning post 42 is located between the fastening component 6 and the pipe clamp body 51. The positioning post 42 also connects the first connecting part 52 and the second connecting part 53 between the fastening component 6 and the pipe clamp body 51, making it less likely for the first connecting part 52 and the second connecting part 53 to deform and separate.
