The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0058] The mounting assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0059] Reference Figure 2 , Figures 4-25 As shown, the mounting component 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model may include: mounting structure 10.
[0060] Specifically, the mounting structure 10 has a mounting space 11 that extends through the mounting structure 10 along a first direction. One end of the mounting structure 10 along a second direction has a limiting groove 12, and one end of the limiting groove 12 along the first direction has an opening 121. The first and second directions are perpendicular to each other. A first mounting member 200 can pass through the mounting space 11, thus limiting the first mounting member 200 within the mounting space 11. At least a portion of a second mounting member 300 can extend into the limiting groove 12, thus limiting the second mounting member 300 within the limiting groove 12. Therefore, the mounting structure 10 can limit the positioning of the first mounting member 200 and the second mounting member 300, achieving the required placement.
[0061] Meanwhile, since at least a portion of the second mounting member 300 can extend into the limiting slot 12, the mounting structure 10 can be positioned above the second mounting member 300, which facilitates subsequent installation, improves assembly efficiency, and increases the contact area between the second mounting member 300 and the mounting structure 10, ensuring that the mounting assembly 100 is reliably fixed to the second mounting member 300. The limiting slot 12 has a simple structure, which facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the mounting structure 10 and reduces production costs.
[0062] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the mounting assembly 100 has a mounting space 11 extending through the mounting structure 10 in a first direction. One end of the mounting structure 10 in a second direction has a limiting groove 12, and one end of the limiting groove 12 in the first direction has an opening 121. The first mounting member 200 is adapted to pass through the mounting space 11, and at least a portion of the second mounting member 300 is adapted to extend into the limiting groove 12, so that the mounting structure 10 can be positioned above the second mounting member 300, which facilitates subsequent installation, improves assembly efficiency, ensures that the mounting assembly 100 is reliably fixed to the second mounting member 300, facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the mounting structure 10, and reduces production costs.
[0063] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 , Figures 4-10 , Figures 12-25As shown, the mounting structure 10 includes a first connecting plate 101, a second connecting plate 102, and a fixing plate 103. The first connecting plate 101 and the second connecting plate 102 extend along a second direction and are spaced apart along a third direction. The fixing plate 103 is connected to the first connecting plate 101 and the second connecting plate 102 at the same end along the second direction, and the fixing plate 103, the first connecting plate 101, and the second connecting plate 102 define an installation space 11. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other, so that the mounting structure 10 can be roughly formed into a "U" shape. While ensuring the structural strength of the mounting structure 10, it can reduce the use of materials, which is beneficial to reducing production efficiency. Moreover, the structure of the mounting structure 10 is simple and easy to process and manufacture.
[0064] In addition, such as Figure 2 , Figures 4-8 , Figures 12-16 , Figures 19-23 As shown, the limiting slot 12 is located at the end of the first connecting plate 101 and the second connecting plate 102 that is away from the fixing plate 103 (e.g., Figure 2 As shown in the upper part, the first connecting plate 101 and the second connecting plate 102 are both provided with limiting slots 12. The second mounting part 300 is limited by the two limiting slots 12 spaced apart along the third direction, which can ensure that the second mounting part 300 is subjected to uniform force and is not prone to deformation. At the same time, it can ensure reliable fixation and facilitate the processing and manufacturing of the limiting slots 12 for easy assembly.
[0065] In related technologies, two mounting components are connected by bolts. In actual construction, this requires precise alignment of numerous bolt holes, a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. Furthermore, even slight deviations in the bolt hole positions can damage the mounting components if forced into installation, affecting structural strength and connection reliability. Additionally, bolt holes need to be machined on the mounting components; deviations or errors in these positions can hinder the installation of both components, wasting resources and impacting the installation schedule.
[0066] Therefore, in some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figures 6-12 , Figures 14-19 , Figures 21-25 As shown, the mounting assembly 100 also includes a clamping mechanism 20, which is movably disposed along a second direction at one end of the mounting structure 10 away from the limiting slot 12. The clamping mechanism 20 can engage with the end face of the first mounting member 200 away from the second mounting member 300 (e.g., Figure 2The lower end faces shown in the diagram abut against each other, allowing the first mounting member 200 to exert a reaction force on the tightening mechanism 20. This causes the tightening mechanism 20 to drive the mounting structure 10 to apply a force towards the tightening mechanism 20 through the groove wall of the limiting slot 12, ensuring that the second mounting member 300 is pressed into the required position. A three-dimensional fixing system is adopted, and the tightening mechanism 20 combined with the limiting slot 12 can form a mechanical interlocking system, making the positions of the second mounting member 300 and the first mounting member 200 fixed and reliable, avoiding problems such as movement, and effectively ensuring the stability of the structural installation.
[0067] Therefore, the clamping mechanism 20 enables a non-destructive connection between the mounting structure 10 and the first mounting component 200 and the second mounting component 300, avoiding drilling processes in the first mounting component 200 and / or the second mounting component 300. This effectively maintains the cross-sectional integrity of the first mounting component 200 and / or the second mounting component 300, resolving or reducing the adverse effects caused by drilling in the first mounting component 200 and / or the second mounting component 300. It also improves the structural strength of the first mounting component 200 and / or the second mounting component 300 and significantly reduces the manufacturing steps of the first mounting component 200 and / or the second mounting component 300. Simultaneously, it optimizes the installation process, allowing workers to complete each step more smoothly, improving installation efficiency, reducing operational error rates, ensuring stable installation quality, and achieving a dual improvement in safety and construction efficiency.
[0068] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 , Figures 6-9 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figures 14-17 , Figure 19 , Figures 21-24 As shown, the end of the mounting structure 10 furthest from the limiting slot 12 along the second direction (e.g.) Figure 2 The lower end shown is provided with a threaded hole 13. The tightening mechanism 20 includes a movable member 21. The movable member 21 is movably inserted through the threaded hole 13 in the second direction, and the movable member 21 is threadedly engaged with the threaded hole 13. This enables the movable member 21 to connect with the mounting structure 10, which facilitates the transfer of force from the movable member 21 to the mounting structure 10. It also facilitates the movement of the movable member 21 in the mounting structure 10 in the second direction, so that one end of the movable member 21 extending into the mounting space 11 can abut against the end face of the first mounting member 200 away from the second mounting member 300. This fulfills the abutment requirement between the tightening mechanism 20 and the first mounting member 200. The structure is simple, the assembly is convenient, and it is beneficial to improve the assembly efficiency.
[0069] For example, after the first mounting component 200 and the second mounting component 300 are placed in the designated positions, the mounting structure 10 is placed on the first mounting component 200, so that the first mounting component 200 passes through the mounting space 11, and the limiting slot 12 is precisely aligned with the second mounting component 300. By pushing the mounting structure 10, at least a portion of the second mounting component 300 is embedded in the limiting slot 12, thus completing the initial fixation of the first mounting component 200 and the second mounting component 300. Then, the moving component 21 is rotated, and by applying an appropriate tightening force, the moving component 21 is tightly fitted with the end face of the first mounting component 200 away from the second mounting component 300, thus finally achieving a stable connection between the first mounting component 200 and the second mounting component 300.
[0070] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 6-8 , Figure 11 , Figures 14-16 , Figures 21-23 As shown, the clamping mechanism 20 also includes a fixing member 22, which is sleeved on the movable member 21 and threadedly engaged with the movable member 21. The fixing member 22 is located on the side of the mounting structure 10 away from the first mounting member 200 along the second direction (e.g., Figure 2 (As shown in the lower side), after the position of the movable part 21 is fixed, the fixed part 22 moves relative to the movable part 21 and abuts against the mounting structure 10, which can tighten the position of the movable part 21, effectively preventing loosening and ensuring the fixed reliability of the first mounting part 200 and the second mounting part 300.
[0071] In some embodiments, the movable member 21 is formed as a bolt and the fixed member 22 is formed as a nut, which simplifies the structure of the movable member 21 and the fixed member 22, reduces production costs, and ensures assembly reliability.
[0072] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 14 , Figure 19 and Figure 21 As shown, one end of the movable member 21 that extends into the mounting space 11 is provided with an abutment member 23, and the movable member 21 is positioned in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the movable member 21 (e.g., Figure 2 The projected area of the projection (in the up and down direction shown) is smaller than the projected area of the abutment 23. The abutment 23 can abut against the first mounting part 200, thereby increasing the contact area between the tightening mechanism 20 and the first mounting part 200, ensuring the uniformity of the force on the first mounting part 200, avoiding problems such as local deformation of the first mounting part 200, and ensuring assembly reliability.
[0073] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 19 As shown, the abutment 23 includes an extension 231 and an abutment 232. The extension 231 is connected to one end of the movable member 21 that extends into the mounting space 11, enabling the connection between the abutment 23 and the movable member 21. Furthermore, the connection is achieved from the movable member 21 to the limiting slot 12 (e.g., in the direction from the limiting slot 12). Figure 2 In the direction from bottom to top, the extension 231 extends obliquely in the direction away from the axis of the moving member 21. The abutment 232 is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the extension 231, and the abutment 232 is formed as a plane perpendicular to the axis of the moving member 21. The abutment 232 can abut against the first mounting member 200, ensuring that the projected area of the moving member 21 in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the moving member 21 is smaller than the projected area of the abutment 23, so that the contact area between the abutment 232 and the first mounting member 200 is large, ensuring the uniformity of the force on the first mounting member 200. Moreover, the structure of the abutment 23 is simple, which makes it easy to process and manufacture the abutment 23, and it is beneficial to reduce the material used in the abutment 23, thereby reducing production costs.
[0074] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 ,like Figures 6-8 , Figure 11 , Figures 14-16 , Figures 21-23 As shown, the clamping mechanism 20 also includes a gasket 24, which is located between the mounting structure 10 and the fastener 22. The gasket 24 can disperse the pressure of the fastener 22, protect the surface of the mounting structure 10 from the risk of crushing, and ensure assembly reliability.
[0075] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 19-25 As shown, the groove wall of the limiting slot 12 that is away from the first mounting member 200 (e.g.) Figure 2 An inclined portion 122 is provided on the upper groove wall shown. The inclined portion 122 extends along the first direction and is inclined towards the third direction. The end of the inclined portion 122 facing the first mounting member 200 can abut against the second mounting member 300. By abutting against the second mounting member 300, the pressing effect of the mounting structure 10 on the second mounting member 300 can be better, ensuring that the mounting assembly 100 is reliably fixed to the first mounting member 200 and the second mounting member 300. The structure is simple and easy to process and manufacture.
[0076] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 , Figure 13 and Figure 20As shown, the limiting groove 12 has multiple (two or more) protrusions 123 on the groove side wall away from the first mounting member 200. The multiple protrusions 123 are spaced apart along the first direction. The multiple protrusions 123 can increase the friction between the limiting groove 12 and the second mounting member 300, avoid slippage and other problems, enhance the vibration resistance, ensure that the groove wall of the limiting groove 12 is reliably pressed against the second mounting member 300, and maintain stability when facing vibration or slight shaking, effectively resisting the influence of complex working conditions such as vibration and wind pressure.
[0077] In some embodiments where an inclined portion 122 is provided on the groove wall of the limiting slot 12 away from the first mounting member 200, such as Figure 20 As shown, the inclined portion 122 has a plurality of protrusions 123 on the end face near the first mounting member 200. The plurality of protrusions 123 can increase the friction between the inclined portion 122 and the second mounting member 300, avoid slippage and other problems, enhance vibration resistance, and further ensure reliable clamping of the second mounting member 300.
[0078] In the embodiments of this utility model, the specific shape of the protrusion 123 can be set according to the actual situation.
[0079] For example, in some embodiments, the shape of the cross-section of the protrusion 123 along the second direction can be as follows: Figure 5 The shape shown is a triangle, or the shape of the cross-section of the protrusion 123 along the second direction can be as follows: Figure 13 The shape shown is trapezoidal, or the shape of the cross section of the protrusion 123 along the second direction can be rectangular, both of which can increase the friction between the limiting slot 12 and the second mounting member 300, and realize the setting requirements of different shapes.
[0080] For example, in some embodiments, such as Figure 20 As shown, the protrusion 123 extends obliquely to one side in the first direction, and can be set according to the actual situation to meet the setting requirements of different shapes.
[0081] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a photovoltaic system 400 includes purlins and photovoltaic modules. The purlins extend along a first direction, and the photovoltaic modules are supported above the purlins. The purlins can support the photovoltaic modules, and the photovoltaic modules can convert solar energy into electrical energy to generate electricity using solar energy.
[0082] In addition, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the photovoltaic system 400 includes an installation component 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The purlin is constructed as a first installation member 200, and the photovoltaic module is constructed as a second installation member 300. The purlin passes through the installation space 11, and at least a portion of the photovoltaic module extends into the limiting slot 12. The second direction is the up-down direction. The installation component 100 can reliably limit the position of the purlin and the photovoltaic module relative to each other, effectively ensuring the stability of the structural installation and achieving the required installation requirements.
[0083] The installation of photovoltaic (PV) modules is crucial. In the construction of PV power plant projects, the mainstream installation methods for PV modules include clamp connections, bolt connections, clamp + bolt connections, or quick-clamp connections. However, in actual installation scenarios, construction workers often face numerous challenging problems.
[0084] When using clamping connections, due to the installation characteristics, workers often have to stand on the fragile surface of the photovoltaic modules or climb to work. Because photovoltaic modules are intricately and sensitively constructed, the weight of a person combined with subtle movements during construction can easily cause hidden cracks that are difficult to detect inside the modules. While these cracks may not be easily detected in the initial stages, over time and with continuous operation in complex outdoor environments, they will gradually affect the power generation efficiency of the modules, shorten their lifespan, and may even lead to more serious malfunctions, planting a time bomb for the stable operation of the entire photovoltaic power station.
[0085] Meanwhile, the use of clamping blocks significantly reduces the ease of use of the tools required for tightening, especially wrenches. The cramped working space makes it difficult for workers to flexibly use their wrist strength and accurately adjust the tightening force, which not only greatly slows down the installation speed and extends the overall project duration but also increases additional labor costs. Furthermore, this inconvenience can easily lead to a series of safety risks. A slight mishap could cause a wrench to slip and injure a worker, or improper tightening could cause the photovoltaic modules to loosen or shift, resulting in irreparable damage in extreme weather conditions such as strong winds and heavy rain.
[0086] When using bolted connections, the numerous bolt holes need to be precisely aligned during actual construction. This process is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, if the holes are slightly off, forced installation may damage the photovoltaic modules, affecting their structural strength and sealing performance.
[0087] When using quick-connect clips, the installation process of photovoltaic modules can be accelerated and made more efficient, providing a convenient solution, such as the Aremon clip.
[0088] However, on the one hand, due to the relatively novel and complex design of the quick-installation clamp, actual installation tests have shown that photovoltaic bracket manufacturers need to strictly control the size of the installation holes, which undoubtedly places high demands on the production process of photovoltaic bracket manufacturers; on the other hand, the existing skills of the installation workers are no longer sufficient to cope with the work, and they must undergo professional and systematic training to master the installation techniques. This undoubtedly adds extra training and time costs to the construction companies. If the training is not in place, workers are prone to making frequent mistakes during the installation process, affecting the construction quality and progress.
[0089] On the other hand, even after workers are trained and put to work, they still encounter numerous difficulties in actual operation. For example, quick-installation clamps may rub or collide with the anti-corrosion layer on the surface of photovoltaic modules during installation, thereby damaging this crucial protective barrier. Once the anti-corrosion layer is damaged, the photovoltaic modules will be directly exposed to corrosive environments such as humidity, acids, and alkalis, accelerating the aging and damage of the photovoltaic modules, causing a significant increase in the maintenance costs of photovoltaic power stations, and severely testing their long-term operational stability.
[0090] In addition, all of the above solutions require drilling holes in the purlins before the next installation step can be carried out. If the hole position is deviated or incorrect, it will directly affect the installation of photovoltaic modules, resulting in cost waste for photovoltaic bracket manufacturers and affecting the construction progress of construction units.
[0091] Therefore, in some embodiments of the installation component 100 including the clamping mechanism 20, the clamping mechanism 20 fixes the installation structure 10 to the purlins and photovoltaic modules from below, making the entire installation structure 10 tightly integrated with the purlins and photovoltaic modules. This allows the self-weight of the photovoltaic modules and wind and snow loads to be efficiently transferred to the purlins and even the entire building support structure through the installation structure 10, achieving scientific load transmission. This ensures that the building support system can fully bear the static and dynamic loads of the components, guaranteeing the reliability of the overall installation from the source of the force transmission path. Fixing the installation structure 10 to the purlins from below via the clamping mechanism 20 provides a spacious operating space, improving the working environment for workers. The ample space allows workers to move freely and maintain balance, reducing the risk of falls from heights. Furthermore, tools can be operated from below using the clamping mechanism 20, enhancing stability and reducing the risk of tools slipping and causing injury. This allows workers to complete each step more smoothly, improving installation efficiency, reducing operational error rates, ensuring stable installation quality, and achieving a dual improvement in safety and construction efficiency.
[0092] Meanwhile, the tightening mechanism 20 is used to achieve a non-destructive connection between the installation structure 10 and the purlin, and the limiting slot 12 forms a mechanical interlocking system, eliminating the drilling process in related technologies, keeping the purlin cross section intact and simplifying the manufacturing process. Furthermore, the design of the limiting slot 12 can reduce the spacing between photovoltaic modules, shorten the purlin and reduce the amount of steel used.
[0093] This effectively solves the two core problems of photovoltaic module installation stability and construction safety, ensures the structural reliability of photovoltaic modules throughout their entire life cycle, achieves synergistic improvement in safety and efficiency, and provides an innovative solution for photovoltaic power plant construction that combines engineering rigor with construction convenience.
[0094] Since the mounting assembly 100 according to the present utility model embodiment has the above-mentioned beneficial technical effects, the photovoltaic system 400 according to the present utility model embodiment has an mounting space 11 that extends through the mounting structure 10 along a first direction. One end of the mounting structure 10 along a second direction has a limiting groove 12, and one end of the limiting groove 12 along the first direction has an opening 121. The first mounting member 200 is adapted to pass through the mounting space 11, and at least a portion of the second mounting member 300 is adapted to extend into the limiting groove 12, so that the mounting structure 10 can be positioned above the second mounting member 300, which facilitates subsequent installation, improves assembly efficiency, and ensures that the mounting assembly 100 is reliably fixed to the second mounting member 300. This also facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the mounting structure 10 and reduces production costs.
[0095] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the photovoltaic module includes a photovoltaic element and a frame 32. The frame 32 surrounds the photovoltaic element and is supported above the purlin, thus supporting the photovoltaic module. The frame 32 includes a fixed frame 321 and a connecting frame 322. The fixed frame 321 is connected to the photovoltaic element, which can strengthen the structural strength of the photovoltaic element. The connecting frame 322 is connected to the inner peripheral wall of the fixed frame 321 and extends towards the inner side of the fixed frame 321, which can improve the structural strength of the fixed frame 321. This can improve the overall strength of the photovoltaic module and avoid problems such as deformation.
[0096] In addition, such as Figure 2 As shown, the mounting component 100 is located inside the fixed frame 321, and at least a portion of the connecting frame 322 extends into the limiting slot 12, which can ensure that the mounting component 100 can reliably install the photovoltaic module and purlin. The mounting component 100 can not occupy the external space of the photovoltaic module, ensuring a compact structure and facilitating the reduction of the spacing between photovoltaic modules, thereby shortening the purlin length and reducing the amount of steel used in the purlin.
[0097] In the embodiments of this utility model, the specific structure of the purlin can be set according to the actual situation.
[0098] For example, in some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the outer contour of the purlin cross section is formed in the shape of "C", "U" or rectangle, and the shape of the purlin can be set according to the actual situation to meet different setting requirements.
[0099] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the purlin includes a first section 41, a second section 42, and a third section 43. The first section 41 extends along a first direction, and the two ends of the first section 41 along a second direction are respectively connected to the second section 42. Both second sections 42 extend towards a third direction, and the ends of the two second sections 42 away from the first section 41 are connected to the third section 43. The two third sections 43 extend towards each other, so that the purlin can be formed into a "C" shape, realizing the setting requirements of different shapes of the purlin. The structure of the purlin is simple and easy to process and manufacture.
[0100] In some embodiments of the mounting assembly 100 including the clamping mechanism 20, such as Figure 2 As shown, the photovoltaic module is supported on the upper second section 42 of the purlin, thus supporting the photovoltaic module. The tightening mechanism 20 can abut against the lower second section 42 of the purlin, thus fulfilling the fixing requirements of the mounting component 100 for the purlin and the photovoltaic module.
