Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic module technology, and in particular to a gapless installation structure for photovoltaic modules. Background Technology

[0002] A photovoltaic module is a core power generation unit composed of multiple solar cells arranged and encapsulated in a certain way, combined with components such as frames and junction boxes. It is a device in a solar photovoltaic power generation system that directly converts solar energy into electrical energy. Its main components include solar cells, encapsulation materials, frames, junction boxes, and other key components.

[0003] Currently, seamless installation structures for photovoltaic modules often rely on bolts for fixing. During installation, to achieve seamless connection between modules, the tightness of each bolt needs to be repeatedly fine-tuned, and the module position needs to be constantly calibrated. This process not only requires operators to accurately control the force and angle, but also requires multiple start-stop operations for adjustment, making the photovoltaic panel installation process complex and cumbersome, significantly extending the construction time, reducing overall installation efficiency, and increasing the difficulty of on-site operation, thus hindering the advancement of large-scale photovoltaic projects. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that the operation process of the photovoltaic panel installation structure in the prior art is relatively inconvenient and cumbersome. To this end, we propose a gapless installation structure for photovoltaic modules.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: a gapless photovoltaic module installation structure, comprising a first photovoltaic panel; a second photovoltaic panel is installed on one side of the first photovoltaic panel; two fixing blocks are fixedly connected to the front end and one side of both the first and second photovoltaic panels; two mounting plates are fixedly connected to the rear end and the other side of both the first and second photovoltaic panels; contact pads are installed at the bottom of both the first and second photovoltaic panels; two slots are formed on the surface of the mounting plate; two buckles that engage with the slots are slidably connected inside the fixing blocks; a fixing plate is fixedly connected inside the fixing blocks; spring springs are fixedly connected to both sides of the fixing plates; the spring springs are fixedly connected to the buckles on the side closer to the buckles; sliding sleeves are fixedly connected to both sides of the fixing blocks; sliding grooves are formed inside both sides of the fixing blocks and the sliding sleeves; sliding rods are slidably connected inside the sliding grooves; and a push-pull plate is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding rod away from the sliding sleeve.

[0006] Preferably, the top and bottom of the fixing block are provided with guide grooves, the top and bottom of the buckle are fixedly connected with guide blocks, and the inside of the guide groove is slidably connected with the guide block.

[0007] Preferably, an energy storage spring is sleeved on the surface of the sliding rod, and the two sides of the energy storage spring are fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve and the push-pull plate, respectively.

[0008] Preferably, both ends of the sliding sleeve are provided with stop grooves, and both ends of the sliding rod are fixedly connected with stop blocks, and the inside of the stop groove is slidably connected to the stop blocks.

[0009] Preferably, the end of the buckle is rounded, and two rubber friction plates are mounted on the surface of the mounting plate.

[0010] Preferably, the first photovoltaic panel and the second photovoltaic panel are provided with alignment grooves at their front ends and one side, and alignment blocks are fixedly connected to the rear ends and the other side of the first photovoltaic panel and the second photovoltaic panel, and the interior of the alignment groove is slidably connected to the alignment block.

[0011] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] In this invention, when workers need to install the first photovoltaic panel and the second photovoltaic panel, they align the buckle with the slot and engage it. After engagement, the spring force stored in the spring is released, allowing the buckle to be stably engaged in the slot, thus achieving gapless installation between the first and second photovoltaic panels. When it is necessary to separate the first and second photovoltaic panels, the push-pull plate is pressed inward, causing the sliding rod to abut the buckle, thus disengaging the buckle from the slot, allowing the first and second photovoltaic panels to be separated. By enabling convenient gapless installation between the first and second photovoltaic panels, workers only need to align and engage them to achieve quick and gapless installation, thereby effectively improving installation efficiency and reducing installation difficulty.

[0020] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementation methods without changing the essential spirit of this utility model. Therefore, the following specific embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely exemplary descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model, and should not be regarded as the entirety of this utility model or as a limitation or restriction on the technical solution of this utility model.

[0021] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 5As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a gapless installation structure for photovoltaic modules, including a first photovoltaic panel 1; a second photovoltaic panel 2 is installed on one side of the first photovoltaic panel 1; two fixing blocks 3 are fixedly connected to the front end and one side of both the first photovoltaic panel 1 and the second photovoltaic panel 2; two mounting plates 4 are fixedly connected to the rear end and the other side of both the first photovoltaic panel 1 and the second photovoltaic panel 2; contact pads 5 are installed at the bottom of both the first photovoltaic panel 1 and the second photovoltaic panel 2; two slots 6 are formed on the surface of the mounting plate 4; two buckles 7 are slidably connected inside the fixing blocks 3 and engage with the slots 6; a fixing plate 8 is fixedly connected inside the fixing blocks 3; spring springs 9 are fixedly connected to both sides of the fixing plate 8; the side of the spring spring 9 closest to the buckle 7 is fixedly connected to the buckle 7; sliding sleeves 10 are fixedly connected to both sides of the fixing blocks 3; sliding grooves 11 are formed inside both sides of the fixing blocks 3 and the sliding sleeves 10; sliding rods 12 are slidably connected inside the sliding grooves 11. A push-pull plate 13 is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding rod 12 away from the sliding sleeve 10. When the worker needs to install the first photovoltaic panel 1 and the second photovoltaic panel 2, the buckle 7 is aligned with the slot 6 and engaged. After engagement, the elastic force stored in the spring spring 9 is released, so that the buckle 7 is stably engaged in the slot 6, thus achieving gapless installation between the first photovoltaic panel 1 and the second photovoltaic panel 2. When it is necessary to separate the first photovoltaic panel 1 and the second photovoltaic panel 2, the push-pull plate 13 is pressed inward, causing the sliding rod 12 to abut against the buckle 7, so that the buckle 7 is disengaged from the slot 6, and the first photovoltaic panel 1 and the second photovoltaic panel 2 can be separated. By setting up a convenient gapless installation between the first photovoltaic panel 1 and the second photovoltaic panel 2, when the worker needs to install, he only needs to align and engage to achieve a quick and gapless installation connection between the first photovoltaic panel 1 and the second photovoltaic panel 2, thereby effectively improving installation efficiency and reducing installation difficulty.

[0022] Reference Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment: guide grooves 14 are provided at both the top and bottom of the fixed block 3, and guide blocks 15 are fixedly connected to both the top and bottom of the buckle 7. The inside of the guide groove 14 is slidably connected to the guide block 15. Through the setting of the guide groove 14 and the guide block 15, the buckle 7 can form a stable guiding effect when sliding inside the fixed block 3, so that the buckle 7 will not be offset when it is engaged with the buckle groove 6, effectively ensuring the stability of the first photovoltaic panel 1 and the second photovoltaic panel 2 during the installation process.

[0023] Reference Figure 5As shown in this embodiment: an energy storage spring 16 is sleeved on the surface of the sliding rod 12. The two sides of the energy storage spring 16 are fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve 10 and the push-pull plate 13, respectively. With the setting of the energy storage spring 16, when the push-pull plate 13 is pressed and the sliding rod 12 abuts against the buckle 7, the push-pull plate 13 is released. At this time, the elastic force stored in the energy storage spring 16 is released and the sliding rod 12 springs back to the initial pressed position, thereby achieving the rapid reset of the sliding rod 12 after being pressed, which is convenient for the next use.

[0024] Reference Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment: both ends of the sliding sleeve 10 are provided with stop grooves 17, and both ends of the sliding rod 12 are fixedly connected with stop blocks 18. The inside of the stop groove 17 is slidably connected with the stop block 18. Through the setting of the stop groove 17 and the stop block 18, the sliding rod 12 can form a stable limiting effect when sliding inside the sliding sleeve 10, so that it will not move excessively when moving, effectively ensuring the stability of the slot 6 and the buckle 7 during the unlocking process.

[0025] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment: the end of the buckle 7 is provided with a rounded corner 19, and two rubber friction plates 20 are installed on the surface of the mounting plate 4. By setting the rounded corner 19, the slot 6 can have less friction when it is engaged with the buckle 7, and it is not easy to shake or displace after the engagement is completed, thereby effectively ensuring the stability of the first photovoltaic panel 1 and the second photovoltaic panel 2 after installation.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment: the front end and one side of the first photovoltaic panel 1 and the second photovoltaic panel 2 are both provided with alignment grooves 21, and the rear end and the other side of the first photovoltaic panel 1 and the second photovoltaic panel 2 are both fixedly connected with alignment blocks 22. The interior of the alignment groove 21 is slidably connected to the alignment block 22. By setting the alignment groove 21 and the alignment block 22, when the first photovoltaic panel 1 and the second photovoltaic panel 2 need to be installed and fixed, the alignment block 22 can be slid into the alignment groove 21 to realize the automatic alignment of the slot 6 and the buckle 7, thereby further improving the installation efficiency of the first photovoltaic panel 1 and the second photovoltaic panel 2.

[0027] Working principle: When the worker needs to install the first photovoltaic panel 1 and the second photovoltaic panel 2, the buckle 7 is aligned with the slot 6 and engaged. After engagement, the spring force stored in the spring spring 9 is released, allowing the buckle 7 to be stably engaged in the slot 6, thus achieving gapless installation between the first photovoltaic panel 1 and the second photovoltaic panel 2. When it is necessary to separate the first photovoltaic panel 1 and the second photovoltaic panel 2, the push-pull plate 13 is pressed inward, causing the sliding rod 12 to abut against the buckle 7, thus disengaging the buckle 7 from the slot 6. At this time, the first photovoltaic panel 1 and the second photovoltaic panel 2 can be separated. The first photovoltaic panel 1 and the second photovoltaic panel 2 are designed for convenient, gapless installation. When installation is required, workers only need to align and snap them together to achieve a quick, gapless connection, effectively improving installation efficiency and reducing installation difficulty. The guide groove 14 and guide block 15 ensure stable guidance as the buckle 7 slides within the fixing block 3, preventing positional shift when the buckle 7 engages with the groove 6. This effectively guarantees the secure connection of the first photovoltaic panel 1 and the second photovoltaic panel 2. The stability during installation is ensured by the energy storage spring 16. When the push-pull plate 13 is pressed, causing the sliding rod 12 to abut against the buckle 7, and the push-pull plate 13 is released, the stored elastic force of the energy storage spring 16 is released, causing the sliding rod 12 to spring back to the initial pressed position. This achieves quick reset of the sliding rod 12 after being pressed, facilitating the next use. The stop groove 17 and stop block 18 provide a stable limiting effect when the sliding rod 12 slides inside the sliding sleeve 10, preventing excessive movement and effectively ensuring the proper functioning of the slot 6 and buckle 7. To improve stability during the snap-fit ​​process, the rounded corner 19 reduces friction when the slot 6 engages with the buckle 7, preventing wobbling and displacement after engagement. This effectively ensures the stability of the first photovoltaic panel 1 and the second photovoltaic panel 2 after installation. The alignment slot 21 and alignment block 22 allow for automatic alignment of the slot 6 and buckle 7 when the first photovoltaic panel 1 and the second photovoltaic panel 2 need to be installed and fixed. This further improves the installation efficiency of the first photovoltaic panel 1 and the second photovoltaic panel 2.

[0028] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
