Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic brackets, specifically a waterproof sheet metal bracket for photovoltaic panels. Background Technology

[0002] A photovoltaic (PV) mounting bracket is a fixed support for installing solar PV panels in well-lit locations such as rooftops. Currently, the installation process typically involves drilling holes in the bracket and then securing the PV panel frame to the bracket with bolts. A search reveals a waterproof PV panel mounting bracket disclosed in application number CN202421553198.1, which includes a water tank and a support plate mounted on the water tank. The support plate abuts against the frame of the PV panel, and the frame has a base plate that abuts against the support plate. The support plate has protrusions and baffles, and the base plate is located between the protrusions and baffles. A pressure block is fixed to the support plate, and the pressure plate of the pressure block presses against the base plate. By mounting the support plate on the water tank, the frame and base plate of the PV panel are abutted against the support plate. On the support plate, the pressure block is then fixed on the support plate, so that the pressure plate can press down against the bottom plate of the fixed frame, thereby fixing and limiting the frame on the support plate. Compared with the existing method of drilling holes in the photovoltaic bracket, the photovoltaic panel can be fixed without drilling, making the installation of the photovoltaic panel more convenient, improving the installation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel, and avoiding the situation where the structural strength of the fixed bracket is reduced due to drilling, thus improving the reliability of the photovoltaic panel installation and use. However, the above description still has the following defects in actual use: the waterproof bracket for photovoltaic panels is not waterproof at the installation positions at both ends of the photovoltaic panel, and there is no auxiliary waterproof structure at the gap between the photovoltaic panels. Therefore, it is necessary to design a more practical waterproof sheet metal bracket for photovoltaic panels. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a waterproof sheet metal bracket for photovoltaic panels to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
