[0037] This application provides a vertical photovoltaic (PV) support system, including multiple column members 100, multiple crossbeam members 200, and multiple clamping assemblies 300 arranged along the length of the crossbeam body 210. At least two crossbeam members 200 are arranged along the height direction between adjacent column members 100. This vertical PV support system forms an installation area for the PV module 1 by means of adjacent left and right column members 100 and adjacent upper and lower crossbeam members 200. It is easy to assemble, highly stable, and allows for flexible horizontal or vertical installation of the PV module 1. Simultaneously, the multiple clamping assemblies 300 secure the PV module 1 to the crossbeam members 200, ensuring the installation stability of the PV module 1. It is particularly suitable for use in environments such as farms and ranches.

[0038] In one embodiment, the vertical photovoltaic support also includes a reinforcement component 400 for connection with the mounting foundation of the photovoltaic module 1 to enhance the stability of the support.

[0039] In one specific embodiment, the reinforcement component 400 includes a reinforcement rod 410 disposed at the bottom of the column component 100 and a threaded drilling rod 420 detachably connected to the reinforcement rod 410. The reinforcement rod 410 is used to embed itself into the installation foundation of the photovoltaic module 1 at a first depth to improve the stability of the support, and the threaded drilling rod 420 is used to extend the length of the reinforcement rod 410 to further improve the stability of the support. Preferably, the reinforcement rod 410 and the threaded drilling rod 420 are inserted and connected by a pin, the length of the reinforcement rod 410 is 15-30cm, and the length of the threaded drilling rod is about 1m.

[0040] In one embodiment, the beam member 200 includes a beam body 210 and connectors 220 disposed at both ends of the beam body 210.

[0041] The cross section of the beam body 210 perpendicular to the length direction is a Z-shaped structure, which includes a central groove 211 and side sections 212 located on both sides of the groove 211.

[0042] The connector 220 is detachably connected to the column component 100.

[0043] In one embodiment, the pressure block assembly 300 includes a first pressure block 310 and a second pressure block 320 disposed on both sides of the crossbeam body 210, and a second fastener 330.

[0044] The first pressing block 310 is disposed on the outside of the groove 211 and cooperates with the side 212 to clamp the photovoltaic module 1, that is, to clamp the frame of the photovoltaic module 1.

[0045] The second pressure block 320 is embedded inside the groove 211 and is connected to the first pressure block 310 through the groove 211 by the second fastener 330, so as to connect the first pressure block 310 and the crossbeam body 210, thereby fixing the upper and lower ends of the photovoltaic module 1 to the corresponding crossbeam member 200. The first pressure block 310 and the second pressure block 320 are respectively located on both sides of the crossbeam body 210, which makes assembly convenient and highly stable.

[0046] In one embodiment, the column component 100 is provided with a plurality of vertical waist-shaped holes 111 along the height direction, and the connector 220 is provided with horizontal waist-shaped holes 223. The horizontal waist-shaped holes 223 are detachably connected to the vertical waist-shaped holes 111 through the first fastener 230, which can realize a small adjustment of the assembly position, thereby improving the installation flexibility and reducing the requirements for manufacturing precision and assembly precision.

[0047] In one embodiment, the column member 100 has a U-shaped cross-section perpendicular to its height. The U-shaped structure includes a first mounting portion 110 located in the middle and a first abutment portion 120 formed by bending 90° on both sides of the first mounting portion 110. A plurality of vertical waist-shaped holes 111 are provided in two rows and located on the first mounting portion 110, so that photovoltaic modules 1 can be installed on both the left and right sides.

[0048] The connector 220 includes a second mounting portion 221 and a second abutment portion 222 formed by bending the second mounting portion 221 at 90°. A horizontal waist-shaped hole 223 is provided in the second mounting portion 221. One side of the second abutment portion 222 is connected to the end of the crossbeam body 210, and the other side abuts against the first abutment portion 120 to improve the connection stability between the crossbeam member 200 and the column member 100, thereby improving the installation stability of the photovoltaic module 1.

[0049] In one embodiment, the column component 100 is a U-shaped steel, which has high strength, light weight, and is easy to assemble.

[0050] In one embodiment, the depth of the groove 211 is greater than the thickness of the photovoltaic module 1. That is, when the photovoltaic module 1 abuts against the side 212, its front end is still a certain distance from the plane where the bottom surface of the groove 211 is located, so that the first pressing block 310 can bend and deform and press against it.

[0051] In one specific embodiment, the first pressing block 310 is sheet-shaped and sequentially includes a first pressing surface 311, a connecting portion 312, and a second pressing surface 313. The first pressing surface 311 fits against the outer side of the groove portion 211 and is connected to the second pressing block 320 through the groove portion 211 by a second fastener 330. The second pressing surface 313 extends to the lower part of the groove portion 211 through the connecting portion 312 and cooperates with the side portion 212 to clamp the photovoltaic module 1.

[0052] It is understandable that when both sides of the first pressing block 310 press against the photovoltaic module 1, the other side of the first pressing surface 311 is also symmetrically provided with a connecting part 312 and a second pressing surface 313.

[0053] In one embodiment, the second pressure block 320 is a U-shaped block, including a third pressure surface 321 located in the middle and a reinforcing portion 322 formed by bending 90° on both sides of the third pressure surface 321. The third pressure surface 321 fits against the inner bottom surface of the groove portion 211 and is connected to the first pressure block 310 through the groove portion 211 by a second fastener 330. The two ends of the reinforcing portion 322 abut against both sides of the groove portion 211, that is, support the groove portion, thereby improving the strength of the crossbeam body 210.

[0054] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
