Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic buildings, and specifically refers to a connection node for fastening the sliding groove of a photovoltaic module on a metal roof. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, distributed power stations with metal roofs have been widely promoted and applied. Photovoltaic modules are connected to the roof panel ribs on the upper part of the metal roof through connecting clamps. Photovoltaic guide rails are connected to the upper part of the photovoltaic clamps, and the photovoltaic guide rails are connected to the photovoltaic module frame through bolts and pressure blocks.

[0003] To save on project costs and improve assembly efficiency, photovoltaic (PV) module frames are typically connected directly to PV clamps. These clamps usually employ a sliding groove with an opening at the top. A connecting screw is embedded in the groove to connect the PV module to the frame via a pressure block. This connection is highly susceptible to bolt loosening, causing the screw to slip out of the groove and resulting in wind-resistant connection failure of the PV module unit, leading to widespread wind damage. Simultaneously, the upper part of the open bolt connection groove is prone to deformation under vertical pull-out forces, weakening the pull-out resistance between the groove and the bolt, also posing a wind resistance safety issue. Furthermore, the support length for the PV frame in point-support clamps is relatively short, typically around 100mm, allowing only a 5-10mm installation error. This installation error can easily result in insufficient support length, affecting the safety of the PV module connection.

[0004] Therefore, the inventors conducted further research and developed a connection node for fastening the sliding groove of a metal roof photovoltaic module, which led to this invention. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a connection node for fastening the sliding groove of a photovoltaic module on a metal roof, which improves the reliability of the connection between the photovoltaic module frame and the sliding groove connection clamp, enhances the wind resistance and connection safety of the photovoltaic system, and also improves the positioning accuracy and installation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A connection node for fastening the slide groove of a metal roof photovoltaic module includes

[0008] The components include clamping plates, fastening plates, main connecting bolts, frame clamping blocks, and photovoltaic module frames. The clamping plates consist of sliding clamping plates and connecting clamping plates, which are connected by clamping plate connecting bolts. The photovoltaic module frames are mounted on the clamping plates, and fastening plates are located between two adjacent photovoltaic module frames. The fastening plates are attached to the upper part of the clamping plates by the main connecting bolts. The frame clamping blocks connect two adjacent photovoltaic module frames by clamping nuts on the main connecting bolts.

[0009] By using bolts for fastening, the risk of traditional connecting bolts slipping out of the groove due to loosening of the clamping block connection under the weight or wind load of the photovoltaic system is solved, which causes the connection between the photovoltaic module frame and the clamp to fail and lose the structural connection performance. This improves the safety and reliability of the roof photovoltaic system.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting clamp piece includes vertical ribs, splicing ribs, tightening ribs, and horizontal transverse grooves; the sliding clamp piece includes a sliding groove, vertical ribs, splicing grooves, tightening ribs, and horizontal transverse grooves; the splicing ribs of the connecting clamp piece are embedded in the splicing grooves of the sliding clamp piece; the tightening ribs of the connecting clamp piece and the sliding clamp piece are arranged opposite to each other; the horizontal transverse grooves of the connecting clamp piece and the sliding clamp piece are embedded and fastened to the ribs of the metal roofing panel.

[0011] Furthermore, the linear groove of the sliding fixture piece includes a vertical rib, a bottom plate, a middle rib, and an upper flange. The bottom plate and the vertical rib form a U-shaped structure. The upper flange is located at the top of the vertical rib, and the middle rib is located in the cavity formed by the vertical rib. The upper surface of the upper flange is also provided with several raised and recessed patterns.

[0012] Furthermore, the fastening plate includes a horizontal plate, an edge anti-shear rib, a central anti-shear rib, and an edge upturned rib. The horizontal plate has a bolt hole in the center, and the lower surface of the horizontal plate has a textured surface that matches the textured surface of the upper flange of the slide groove. The central anti-shear rib is embedded in the opening slot of the slide groove of the slide groove clamping plate. The edge anti-shear rib is the two sides of the horizontal plate that protrude downwards.

[0013] Furthermore, the edge shear ribs are rectangular or L-shaped and are set on both sides of the upper flange of the slide groove of the slide groove clamp piece.

[0014] Furthermore, the upward-protruding edge ribs on both sides of the horizontal sheet are closely attached to the vertical edges of the photovoltaic module frame.

[0015] Furthermore, the main connecting bolt is equipped with a lower connecting nut and an upper connecting nut. The nut of the main connecting bolt is located in the linear groove of the sliding clamp piece. The lower connecting nut is located above the fastening pressure plate and is used to fix the fastening pressure plate. The upper connecting nut is located above the frame pressure block and is used to fix the frame pressure block.

[0016] Furthermore, the frame clamping block has bolt holes in the middle, and the two adjacent photovoltaic module frames are clamped together by connecting nuts on the screw.

[0017] By adopting the above solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0018] 1. It solves the risk that traditional connecting bolts in photovoltaic systems are prone to slippage and sliding under their own weight or wind loads due to loosening of the clamping block connection, which can cause the photovoltaic module frame to fail to connect with the clamp and lose structural connection performance, thus improving the safety and reliability of roof photovoltaic systems.

[0019] 2. It prevents the upper flange of the open chute from deforming under vertical stress conditions, thus reducing the pull-out resistance of the photovoltaic connection and improving the safety and reliability of the node connection of the photovoltaic system under wind load.

[0020] 3. The installation gap between adjacent components is determined by the width of the positioning plate. The positioning plate serves as a template for the installation gap of the photovoltaic module, reducing the need for manual secondary precision adjustment during the installation process and improving the quality, accuracy, and efficiency of photovoltaic panel installation.
