The steel strand can pass through and is detachably fixed within the steel strand fixing bracket. Because the above-mentioned flexible carport photovoltaic support structure lacks a drainage channel, it is unsuitable for installing a drainage channel. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a connection structure that can simultaneously connect the photovoltaic panel support and the drainage channel to optimize the structure. Summary of the Invention

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. See also: Figure 1-4 :

[0023] This utility model provides a connection assembly between a photovoltaic panel module and a drainage channel. The connection assembly includes a crossbeam 2 for supporting the frame 1 of the photovoltaic panel module. Pressure plates 3 are rotatably connected to both ends of the crossbeam 2. The inner ends of the pressure plates 3 are used to press against the frame 1 of the photovoltaic panel module. The crossbeam 2 and the pressure plates 3 are locked together by a first fastener. An extension plate 5 for installing a drainage channel 4 is symmetrically arranged on the bottom surface of the crossbeam 2. The extension plate 5 is detachably and fixedly connected to the drainage channel 4 by a second fastener. In this embodiment, the second fastener is a bolt and a nut.

[0024] This invention enables the synchronous fixing of the photovoltaic bracket 1 and the drainage channel 4, resulting in a compact structure that is easy to assemble and disassemble. Furthermore, the pressure plate 3 is rotatably connected to both ends of the crossbeam 2, and can be adjusted within an allowable angle range (the adjustment angle is set according to actual conditions), such as ±15°. This allows for the installation of the frame 1 of photovoltaic panel modules of different thicknesses, while simultaneously forming a rigid connection through locking with the first fastener.

[0025] Furthermore, cylindrical rotating shafts 6 are respectively provided at both ends of the crossarm 2. The axis of the rotating shafts 6 is arranged along the width direction of the crossarm 2. One end of the pressure plate 3 is provided with a rotating sleeve 7 that can be fitted onto the rotating shaft 6. The rotating sleeve 7 is provided with an opening groove 8 to avoid the crossarm 2. The width of the opening groove 8 is greater than the thickness of the crossarm 2, which facilitates the rotation of the pressure plate 3 around the rotating shaft 6. The width of the opening groove 8 determines the rotation angle of the pressure plate 3 to accommodate the installation of the frame 1 of photovoltaic panel modules of different thicknesses. In addition, during assembly, the pressure plate 3 can be inserted into both ends of the crossarm 2 along the opening groove 8.

[0026] Specifically, the pressure plate 3 of this utility model further includes a vertical plate 9, a first horizontal wing plate 10, and a second horizontal wing plate 11. The first horizontal wing plate 10 is higher than the second horizontal wing plate 11. The lower end of the vertical plate 9 is connected to the outer cylindrical surface of the rotating sleeve 7. One end of the first horizontal wing plate 10 is connected to the upper end of the vertical plate 9, and the other end is connected to one end of the second horizontal wing plate 11 through an oblique connecting plate 12. The second horizontal wing plate 11 is pressed onto the frame 1. The structure of the first horizontal wing plate 10, the second horizontal wing plate 11, and the oblique connecting plate 12 can increase strength, and the connection between the second horizontal wing plate 11 and the frame 1 of the photovoltaic panel module can increase the contact area and improve the connection strength.

[0027] Furthermore, the first horizontal wing plate 10 and the second horizontal wing plate 11 are connected by a reinforcing plate 13. The first horizontal wing plate 10, the oblique connecting plate 12, and the reinforcing plate 13 form a triangular stable structure, which improves strength.

[0028] Furthermore, the first horizontal wing plate 10 of this invention is provided with a thickened portion 14, and the fastener passes through the crossbeam 2 and is connected to the thickened portion 14. In this embodiment, the first fastener is a screw. Providing a threaded hole on the thickened portion 14 can increase the threaded connection length of the screw and also avoid the risk of the pressure plate 3 breaking due to stress concentration at the connection point with the screw.

[0029] Overall, the pressure plate 3 of this utility model includes a first horizontal wing plate 10, a second horizontal wing plate 11, an oblique connecting plate 12, a reinforcing plate 13, and a thickened part 14, which can reduce weight while ensuring the strength of the pressure plate 3 and reduce material costs.

[0030] This invention also includes a vertical partition 15 in the middle of the crossarm 2 for positioning the frame 1 of the photovoltaic panel modules on both sides. The vertical partition 15 serves as a physical separation reference, standardizing the installation spacing of the photovoltaic panel modules on both sides, avoiding cumulative deviations caused by manual measurement, and ensuring the straightness of the overall support system. Simultaneously, the vertical partition 15 also enhances the torsional stiffness of the crossarm 2.

[0031] To enhance the strength of the crossarm 2, the crossarm 2 of this utility model includes a central bearing plate 16 and lifting plates 17 located on both sides. The two ends of the central bearing plate 16 are connected to the lifting plates 17 through a ramp transition section 18. The rotating shaft 6 is located at the end of the lifting plate 17, and the extension plate 5 is provided on the bottom surface of the lifting plate 17.

[0032] The above embodiments are only one of the preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the shape, structure and principle of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
