[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0023] like Figures 1a to 1e As shown, the side-press assembly of this utility model includes a side pressing plate 100, a baffle 200, and a fastener 300.

[0024] The baffle 200 has upturned edges 201 and 202 on both sides. The side component frame 400 is supported on the top surface of the baffle adjacent to the upturned edges 201, which form the left stop at the bottom of the component frame 400. The side pressure plate 100 is used to fix the side component frame 400. The side pressure plate 100 is provided with an upper bend 110 that snaps onto the top of the frame and a support 120 that is supported on the top surface of the baffle 200 adjacent to the upturned edges 202. The upturned edges 202 serve as the right stop of the support 120. A horizontal connecting plate 130 connects the bend 110 and the support 120. The component frame 400 is located between the upper bend 110 and the baffle 200 to form an integral load-bearing structure. The fastener 300 is a bolt, which passes through the side pressure plate 100 and the baffle 200 in sequence and then fixes them to the support member 500.

[0025] The baffle 200 is provided with an upwardly embedded first limiting structure fixed between the component frame 400 and the support 120 and / or a downwardly embedded second limiting structure fixed to the support member 500.

[0026] like Figure 2 B-1, the second limiting structure is used to fit the support member 500, and is configured as a downwardly bent flange 220 formed by bending the two sides of the baffle 200 downwards to tightly fit around the support member 500. The two downwardly bent flanges 220 are fastened to the outer wall of the support member 500 to achieve relative fixation. For example... Figure 2 The second limiting structure of B-2 may also include a recess 230 formed by the downward recess at the bottom of the baffle 200 for tight fitting into the support 500. For example... Figure 2 The first limiting structure of the B-3 is a protrusion 210 formed by bending the middle of the baffle 200 upwards. The protrusion 210 is embedded between the component frame 400 and the support 120, and forms a horizontal limiting structure with the left and right upper flanges 201 and 202.

[0027] The baffle 200 and the side pressure plate 100 are clamped together to form the overall force of the component frame 400. The baffle 200 is embedded and fixed between the component frame 400 and the support 120 facing upward and / or embedded and fixed to the support member 500 facing downward. The baffle limits the horizontal displacement and strengthens the overall firmness of the assembly.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, the upper flange 201 for abutting the component frame 400 is part A of the baffle 200, such as... Figure 3 In section A-1, part A forms a 90° right angle with baffle 200, or, as... Figure 3 In part A-2, the edge of part A is bent inward to form an inward flange, which acts as a hook to hold the root of the component's frame, or, as... Figure 3 A-3, part A forms a 45° angle bend with baffle 200.

[0029] Similarly, the upper flange 202 used to abut the support 120 is part C of the baffle 200, and part C is lower than part A, such as Figure 4 C-1, part C forms a 90° right angle with baffle 200, or, as Figure 4 C-2, the edge of part C is bent inward to form an inward flange, which acts as a hook to hold the base of the support, or, as... Figure 4 C-3, part C forms a 45° angle with baffle 200.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, the portion A of the bend 110 used for pressing the component frame 300 has an anti-slip treatment, such as... Figure 5 The shot peening anti-slip method described in A1-1, or, as Figure 5 The toothed anti-slip surface shown in A1-2, or, as... Figure 5The textured anti-slip surface shown in A1-3.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, to avoid scratching the edge clamping surface, such as Figure 6 A2-1, bend 110 at the outer edge of the part used to press the component frame 300, and chamfer it, or, as Figure 6 For A2-2, the outer edge is chamfered, or, as... Figure 6 A2-3, with the outer edge bent upwards to avoid air gaps.

[0032] In an alternative embodiment, the side plate 100 is provided with structural reinforcement to enhance the rigidity of the part.

[0033] Structural reinforcements may include downward pressure ribs, triangular ribs, or bent ribs located on the vertical surface B1 between the bend of the pressure plate 200 and the horizontal connecting plate, such as... Figure 7 As shown in B1-1 to B1-3; or, structural reinforcements may include bent reinforcing ribs, raised reinforcing ribs, or boss reinforcing ribs located on the horizontal surface C1 of the horizontal connecting plate of the pressure plate 200, such as Figure 8 As shown in C1-1 to C1-3; or, structural reinforcements may include downward pressing stiffeners, bent stiffeners, or louvered stiffeners located on the vertical surface B2 between the horizontal connecting plate of the pressure plate 200 and the support, such as Figure 9 As shown in B2-1 to B2-3; or, structural reinforcement may include triangular reinforcing ribs or downward pressing reinforcing ribs on the horizontal surface C2 located at the root of the support of the pressure plate 200, such as... Figure 10 As shown in C2-1 to C2-2. The support root can also be set as a form without a horizontal plane and without a C-side, such as... Figure 10 As shown in C2-3.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, both the side pressure plate 100 and the baffle 200 have through holes in their middle portions for fasteners 300 to pass through. Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the through hole can be a round hole, a horizontal elongated hole, or a vertical elongated hole.

[0035] This utility model also provides a photovoltaic system, wherein the photovoltaic system uses the above-mentioned side pressing assembly to install the two side frames.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
