Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of photovoltaic module structure technology, and relates to a sliding rail photovoltaic system. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional photovoltaic (PV) frames are mostly made of extruded aluminum alloy, using numerous bolts to fix adjacent module frames to the support structure. While this method is robust and reliable, the installation process is cumbersome, requiring specialized tools and incurring high labor costs. To address this issue, existing technologies have proposed a rail-mounted PV module. This involves setting U-shaped and right-angle slots on the back of the PV module frame, which are then snapped onto the support beam. The PV module is then fixed to the support beam using bolts or screws. However, this rail-mounted PV module still suffers from difficulties in disassembly and poor stability. To further address this, existing technologies have proposed a novel rail-mounted PV module. This involves first fixing the top and bottom plates on both sides of the PV module to a fixing plate, then placing the fixing plate inside a clamping device. This clamping device improves the installation stability of the PV module. However, this novel rail-mounted PV module still suffers from structural complexity, difficulty in installation / disassembly, insufficient locking force, and inconvenient adjustment, making it difficult to achieve rapid installation of the PV module. In addition, an integrated high-speed assembly BIPV system has been proposed in the prior art. The photovoltaic panel is clamped and fixed to the support strip of the profiled metal roof by frame fasteners. (1) During the installation process, the screws need to be tightened many times and the adjustments need to be repeated, which makes it difficult to effectively improve the installation efficiency. (2) The positioning and installation of the photovoltaic panel is difficult, especially under high-altitude conditions such as roof or facade. (3) The photovoltaic panel is fixed by frame fasteners, which results in a small force-bearing surface of the photovoltaic panel. On the one hand, it is easy to damage the photovoltaic module, especially under the action of frequent strong winds. On the other hand, it is also easy to cause insufficient locking force of the clamping block on the photovoltaic panel. Especially under the action of frequent strong winds, the photovoltaic panel is more likely to loosen and fall off. (4) The photovoltaic panel is fixed to the support strip of the profiled metal roof by single clamping block. The installation stability is poor and it is only suitable for bottom support in special scenarios.

[0003] Therefore, obtaining a sliding rail photovoltaic system that is simple in structure, easy to install, has good stability, and high adaptability can promote the application and utilization of photovoltaic modules. Utility Model Content

A first groove is formed between the first upper folding plate and the first guide strip to accommodate the frame of the photovoltaic module, allowing the photovoltaic module to slide in the first groove. A second groove is formed between the second guide strip and the second upper folding plate to accommodate the frame of another photovoltaic module, allowing the photovoltaic module to slide in the second groove.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the first upper folding plate and the second upper folding plate are symmetrically arranged on the support plate; the first guide strip and the second guide strip are symmetrically arranged on the support plate; the first upper folding plate, the first guide strip, the second guide strip and the second upper folding plate are arranged in the same direction on the support plate.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the first guide bar consists of an expansion portion for supporting the frame and a waist portion for supporting the expansion portion, from top to bottom; the length of the expansion portion on the horizontal plane is greater than that of the waist portion, so that the expansion portion can be fitted into the frame.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the support plate is also provided with a mounting hole in the middle; the mounting hole is located between the first guide strip and the second guide strip.

[0010] A first mounting cavity for accommodating a pressure block is formed between the first guide strip and the second guide strip; the pressure block is shaped like a zigzag and is an integrally formed structure; during installation, the pressure block is pressed between two oppositely arranged frame sides, and the photovoltaic module is fixed to the support plate by bolts.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the frame of the photovoltaic module includes a connecting cavity formed by a pair of horizontal plates and a pair of vertical plates to accommodate connectors. A fixing groove is provided below the connecting cavity. During installation, the first guide strip or the second guide strip is fitted into the fixing groove, so that the frame can slide along the arrangement direction of the first guide strip or the second guide strip.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a base plate is also provided below the connecting cavity. During installation, the base plate is fitted into the first sliding groove or the second sliding groove, so that the frame can slide in the first sliding groove or the second sliding groove.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a top plate is provided above the connecting cavity, and the pair of horizontal plates includes a first horizontal plate and a second horizontal plate.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the pair of vertical plates includes a first vertical plate and a second vertical plate; the first vertical plate extends a third vertical plate in the direction opposite to the Y direction, and the other end of the third vertical plate is connected to the base plate; the thickness of the third vertical plate is greater than that of the first vertical plate; the second vertical plate extends a fourth vertical plate in the direction opposite to the Y direction, and the third vertical plate and the fourth vertical plate are arranged relatively parallel to each other.

[0018] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the bracket is M-shaped and is a one-piece molded structure.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0020] To address the shortcomings of traditional guide rail photovoltaic (PV) modules, such as complex structure, low installation efficiency, high installation difficulty, poor installation stability, and susceptibility to damage or loosening / detachment, this invention creatively proposes a sliding rail PV system. The system includes a guide rail for mounting PV modules. On the support plate of the guide rail, from left to right, are sequentially arranged a first upper folding plate, a first guide strip, a second guide strip, and a second upper folding plate, which serve as a limiting mechanism for the PV module frame. The combined action of the upper folding plate and the guide strip significantly improves the locking force of the guide rail on the PV module frame, ensuring a more secure fit and preventing loosening or detachment. More importantly, the system forms [missing information - likely referring to specific mechanisms or structures] between the first upper folding plate and the first guide strip, and between the second guide strip and the second upper folding plate. The device has a first and a second sliding groove that can accommodate the frame of the photovoltaic module. These grooves serve as a guide mechanism for the photovoltaic module frame, allowing the photovoltaic module to slide along the guide rail. This enables the photovoltaic module to be installed by sliding along the guide rail, resulting in low installation difficulty and high installation efficiency. Furthermore, since the distance between the first upper folding plate, the first guide strip, the second guide strip, and the second upper folding plate is fixed, there is no need to adjust the horizontal spacing after the frame is inserted, making installation more convenient. By tightening the fasteners (such as pressure blocks and bolts), the photovoltaic module can be locked onto the guide rail, preventing the photovoltaic module from sliding and enabling quick installation. During disassembly, the photovoltaic module can be quickly slid out of the guide rail by simply loosening the fasteners, without the need to remove the fasteners, thus enabling quick disassembly of the photovoltaic module. Therefore, the sliding rail photovoltaic system of this utility model adopts a guide rail with a sliding rail structure and an anti-loosening structure, which not only enables quick installation and disassembly of photovoltaic modules, but also ensures that the photovoltaic modules do not loosen under wind vibration conditions. It has the advantages of high installation efficiency, low installation difficulty, and strong locking force. At the same time, it also has the characteristics of simple structure, small size, and low height, which helps to reduce the amount of metal consumables, is easy to process, and has lower cost. In addition, no additional accessories are required, which helps to reduce production and maintenance costs. It can be widely used in BIPV or BAPV systems, with high use value and good application prospects. Attached Figure Description

These grooves serve as… The guide sliding mechanism of the photovoltaic module frame allows the photovoltaic module to slide on the guide rail slide, enabling sliding installation of the photovoltaic module along the guide rail slide. The installation difficulty is low and the installation efficiency is high. At the same time, since the distance between the first upper folding plate, the first guide strip, the second guide strip and the second upper folding plate is fixed, there is no need to adjust the horizontal spacing after the frame is slid in, making the installation more convenient. Furthermore, by tightening the fasteners (such as pressure blocks and bolts), the photovoltaic module can be locked onto the guide rail slide, which not only prevents the photovoltaic module from sliding but also realizes the quick installation of the photovoltaic module. During disassembly, the photovoltaic module can be quickly slid out of the guide rail slide by simply loosening the fasteners, without the need to remove the fasteners, thus realizing quick disassembly of the photovoltaic module. Therefore, the sliding rail photovoltaic system of this utility model adopts a guide rail with a sliding rail structure and an anti-loosening structure, which not only enables quick installation and disassembly of photovoltaic modules, but also ensures that the photovoltaic modules do not loosen under wind vibration conditions. It has the advantages of high installation efficiency and low installation difficulty. At the same time, it also has the characteristics of simple structure, small size and low height, which helps to reduce the amount of metal consumables, is easy to process and has lower cost.
