Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic installation technology, and in particular to a novel integrated photovoltaic railing component. Background Technology

[0002] Home solar panels are the core component of a solar power generation system. Their function is to convert sunlight into electrical energy, which is then stored in batteries as direct current (DC). Solar panels are one of the most important components in home solar power generation; their conversion efficiency and lifespan are crucial factors determining the usability of a solar cell.

[0003] With the development of thinner and more flexible solar panel technology, as well as the optimization of installation accessories and structures, solar panels can be flexibly adapted to spaces such as balcony railings and walls. This allows them to generate a certain amount of electricity without taking up too much indoor or outdoor activity space, providing a feasible green energy solution for families in urban apartments and small houses that cannot install solar equipment on their roofs.

[0004] In the prior art of the aforementioned patent, the photovoltaic modules and building railings are designed as separate units. During installation, the railings must first be fixed to the wall, and then the photovoltaic modules are attached to the surface of the railings using screws or clamps. This process results in cumbersome construction steps, increased labor costs, and reliance on professional technicians. The separate structure not only reduces the efficiency of in-home installation but also affects the aesthetics due to exposed connectors. Furthermore, it limits the flexible matching of railing shape and photovoltaic module size, thus hindering the widespread application of photovoltaic products in civil buildings.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a novel integrated photovoltaic railing component, comprising a photovoltaic component, a steel frame and railing fixedly disposed outside the photovoltaic component, wherein one side of the railing is narrow and the other side is wide, and the cross-section of the railing is an isosceles trapezoid; the photovoltaic component includes a glass back panel; a connecting groove and a recess are respectively provided on the glass back panel and the steel frame; the connecting groove and the recess slide and adapt to one side of the wide side of the railing; a limiting component is provided on the railing, the limiting component is disposed on both sides of the photovoltaic component; and the railing and the connecting groove are fixedly connected by sealant.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: the railing is hollow, and mounting plates are fixedly installed at both ends of the railing.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: the limiting component includes two locking members that are slidably installed on the railing, and the locking members are respectively tightly attached to both sides of the steel structure frame. Bolts are provided between the locking members and the railing.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: two through slots are opened on one side of the narrow side of the railing, and nuts are provided inside the through slots, and the nuts are threadedly connected to bolts.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: a filling reinforcement layer is fixedly installed inside the railing, and the filling reinforcement layer is disposed at the top and bottom of the railing.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: the photovoltaic module also includes a glass front panel and a photovoltaic cell assembly fixedly disposed between the glass front panel and the glass back panel.

[0012] This utility model provides a novel integrated photovoltaic railing component. It offers the following advantages: the photovoltaic module is fixed via a steel frame, and multiple railings can be inserted into the connecting slots of the photovoltaic module and the grooves of the steel frame. Because the innermost width of the railing is greater than the outermost width when inserted, the photovoltaic module cannot detach from the railing and can only slide laterally on it. Combined with sealant and limiting components on both sides, the photovoltaic module is further secured and fixed, achieving integrated installation of the photovoltaic module and railing, thus improving assembly efficiency.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-7 A novel integrated photovoltaic railing component includes a photovoltaic module, a steel frame 1 fixedly mounted on the outside of the photovoltaic module, and a railing 6. The railing 6 has a narrow side on one side and a wide side on the other, and its cross-section is an isosceles trapezoid. The photovoltaic module includes a glass back panel 3. Connecting grooves 4 and grooves 5 are respectively formed on the glass back panel 3 and the steel frame 1. The connecting grooves 4 and grooves 5 slide and adapt to one side of the wide side of the railing 6. Limiting components are provided on both sides of the photovoltaic module. The photovoltaic module is fixedly connected to the connecting groove 4 with sealant 13; the photovoltaic module is fixed by the steel frame 1. Multiple railings 6 can be inserted into the connecting groove 4 of the photovoltaic module and the groove 5 of the steel frame 1. Since the innermost width of the railing 6 is greater than the outer width when it is inserted, the photovoltaic module cannot fall off the railing 6 and can only slide laterally on the railing 6. With the sealant 13, the photovoltaic module can be further limited and fixed by the limiting components on both sides, which further realizes the integrated installation of the photovoltaic module and the railing 6 and saves assembly efficiency.

[0026] As a preferred technical solution in this embodiment, the railing 6 is hollow, and mounting plates 7 are fixedly installed at both ends of the railing 6; the mounting plates 7 can be used to install and fix the railing 6.

[0027] As a preferred technical solution in this embodiment, the limiting component includes two locking members 9 slidably mounted on the railing 6. The locking members 9 are respectively tightly attached to both sides of the steel structure frame 1. Bolts 10 are provided between the locking members 9 and the railing 6. The locking members 9 can be fixed to the corresponding positions of the railing 6 by the bolts 10. Compared with the traditional fixing scheme, this method of fixing the locking members 9 by the bolts 10 and then indirectly locking the photovoltaic module by the locking members 9 does not require drilling holes in the steel structure frame 1 or the photovoltaic module, thereby ensuring the relative integrity of the photovoltaic module installation.

[0028] As a preferred technical solution in this embodiment, two through grooves 8 are provided on one side of the narrow side of the railing 6. Nuts are provided inside the through grooves 8, and the nuts are threadedly connected to the bolts 10. The through grooves 8 facilitate the installation and fixing of the bolts 10.

[0029] As a preferred technical solution in this embodiment, a filling reinforcement layer 12 is fixedly installed inside the railing 6. The filling reinforcement layer 12 is disposed at the top and bottom of the railing 6. The filling reinforcement layer 12 can increase the structural rigidity of the railing 6, prevent it from breaking, and increase the service life of the railing 6.

[0030] As a preferred technical solution of this embodiment, the photovoltaic module further includes a glass front panel 2 and a photovoltaic cell assembly 14 fixedly disposed between the glass front panel 2 and the glass back panel 3. In the prior art, the photovoltaic cell assembly 14 is generally composed of a cell in the middle, solder strips on both sides, and EVA film. Generally, glass is sandwiched between the two sides of the photovoltaic cell assembly 14, and the glass on both sides is connected to the solder strips and the cell through the EVA film, which can protect the photovoltaic cell assembly 14.
