Attached Figure Description

[0011] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, the drawings used in the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. It should be understood that the following drawings only show some embodiments of this utility model and should not be regarded as a limitation on the scope. For those skilled in the art, other related drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0013] In the figure, 1-lower bearing plate, 11-threaded hole, 12-positioning baffle, 121-flexible barb, 13-positioning area, 2-upper buckle plate, 21-positioning block, 211-clamping block, 22-fixing through hole, 3-fastening bolt, 4-rubber block, 41-anti-slip groove, 5-water guide groove. Detailed Implementation

[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0015] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0016] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the utility model product is in use. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0018] The terms “first,” “second,” “third,” etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0019] The terms "parallel" and "perpendicular" do not mean that the components must be absolutely parallel or perpendicular, but rather that they can be slightly tilted. For example, "parallel" simply means that its direction is more parallel than "perpendicular," not that the structure must be completely parallel, but that it can be slightly tilted.

[0020] The terms "horizontal," "vertical," and "sag" do not imply that a component must be absolutely horizontal, vertical, or sagging, but rather that it can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal relative to "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0021] Furthermore, terms like "roughly" and "basically" are used to indicate that the content does not require absolute precision, but rather allows for a certain degree of deviation. For example, "roughly equal" does not simply mean absolute equality; in actual production and operation, achieving absolute "equality" is difficult, and a certain degree of deviation is generally present. Therefore, besides absolute equality, "roughly equal to" also includes the aforementioned situation where a certain degree of deviation exists. Using this as an example, in other cases, unless otherwise specified, terms like "roughly" and "basically" have similar meanings.

[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0023] See Figure 1This utility model provides a technical solution: a connecting component for facilitating the connection between photovoltaic panels, including a connector body. The connector body includes a lower support plate 1 and an upper buckle plate 2. The lower support plate 1 has a threaded hole 11 in the middle, and positioning baffles 12 are provided around the threaded hole 11, forming a positioning area 13. The upper buckle plate 2 has a positioning block 21 in the middle that cooperates with the positioning area 13. The positioning block 21 and the upper buckle plate 2 have a through-hole 22 corresponding to the threaded hole 11, and a fastening bolt 3 is provided in the through-hole 22. This utility model eliminates the need to carry a large number of tools when installing and fixing photovoltaic panels, simplifying the installation steps, making the installation operation more convenient and faster, effectively improving installation efficiency, reducing labor intensity, and enabling quick installation even in confined spaces.

[0024] Preferably, rubber blocks 4 are provided on the opposing surfaces of the lower support plate 1 and the upper buckle plate 2. The rubber blocks 4 make the photovoltaic panel held between the lower support plate 1 and the upper buckle plate 2 more securely fixed.

[0025] Preferably, the surface of the rubber block 4 is provided with anti-slip grooves 41. The anti-slip grooves 41 make the rubber block 4 more secure when it is pressed against the photovoltaic panel.

[0026] Preferably, the inner side of each positioning baffle 12 is provided with a flexible barb 121, and the outer side of each positioning block 21 is provided with a locking block 211 that cooperates with the flexible barb 121. This serves as an initial positioning and locking mechanism between the lower bearing plate 1 and the upper buckle plate 2, facilitating subsequent bolt tightening.

[0027] Preferably, water guide grooves 5 are provided on both sides of the lower support plate 1. These grooves are used to assist drainage and achieve the function of guiding and diverting water, thereby preventing water leakage problems in the photovoltaic panel roof.

[0028] Preferably, the fastening bolt 3 is a hand-tightening bolt. Hand-tightening bolts allow for the fixing and tightening of the photovoltaic panel without the need for auxiliary tools, making the operation simpler and more convenient.

[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be understood that this utility model is not limited to the forms disclosed herein and should not be construed as excluding other embodiments. It can be used in various other combinations, modifications, and environments, and can be altered within the scope of the concept described herein through the above teachings or the technology or knowledge in related fields.
