Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of photovoltaic panel mounting fixture technology, specifically to a photovoltaic module mounting fixture. Background Technology

[0002] Driven by the global energy transition and sustainable development concepts, the photovoltaic industry has entered a period of rapid growth, and the application scenarios for photovoltaic modules are becoming increasingly widespread. Among them, corrugated steel roofs, due to their wide distribution and high space utilization, have become one of the important carriers for photovoltaic installation. However, current photovoltaic module installation clamps for corrugated steel roofs still have many technical pain points, making it difficult to meet the needs for efficient, stable, and flexible installation.

[0003] Traditional photovoltaic (PV) module mounting clamps have a rigid structural design and poor adaptability to PV panels of different specifications and sizes. When a project requires changing the PV panel model or adjusting the installation layout, the entire clamp often needs to be replaced, increasing equipment procurement costs and extending the construction period. In terms of installation operations, traditional clamps mostly rely on a single bolt tightening method to secure the PV panels. During installation, each fixing point must be tightened individually, a cumbersome and labor-intensive process that severely restricts construction efficiency, especially in large-scale installation scenarios. Summary of the Invention

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a photovoltaic module mounting fixture.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides the following technical solution: a photovoltaic module mounting clamp, comprising a mounting component, a placement component, a photovoltaic panel, and a clamping component. The mounting component is used to mount the clamp onto a corrugated steel roof purlin. The placement components are fixedly mounted on both sides of the upper end of the mounting component, and the two sides of the two placement components are respectively used to place photovoltaic panels. A clamping component is fixedly mounted on the mounting component, and the clamping component is located between the two placement components. The clamping component is used to clamp and fix the photovoltaic panels on the two placement components.

[0008] The clamping assembly includes a fixing plate, which is fixedly installed on the mounting assembly. Clamping plates are rotatably connected to both sides of the fixing plate via a rotating shaft. The clamping plates are arranged in an "L" shape, with one end of the clamping plate located above the photovoltaic panel for clamping and fixing the photovoltaic panel.

[0009] The placement assembly includes a placement block, one side of which is used to place a photovoltaic panel, and the other side of which is slidably connected to a slider. The slider is arranged in the shape of a right-angled trapezoid. The other end of the clamping plate contacts the inclined side of the slider. By sliding the slider on the other side of the placement block, the clamping plate is driven to rotate around the pivot, so that the end of the clamping plate above the photovoltaic panel moves downward to clamp and fix the photovoltaic panel on the placement block.

[0010] Preferably, the placement component is detachably and fixedly installed on both sides of the upper end of the mounting component, and the placement component is detachably and fixedly installed on the upper end of the mounting component by bolts or slots.

[0011] Preferably, the fixing plate is detachably fixed to the upper end of the mounting assembly by means of a second mounting bolt.

[0012] Preferably, the mounting assembly includes a connecting plate, and the placement assembly and the clamping assembly are both fixedly mounted on the connecting plate. An mounting component is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the connecting plate, and a mating component is correspondingly mounted on one side of the mounting component. The mounting assembly can be mounted on the corrugated steel roof purlins through the mounting component and the mating component.

[0013] Preferably, the mounting component and the mating component are connected by a first mounting bolt to clamp the mounting assembly onto the corrugated steel sheet purlin. The upper end of the mating component is provided with a plug-in component, and the bottom of the connecting plate is provided with a plug-in groove. The shapes of the plug-in component and the plug-in groove are correspondingly arranged.

[0014] Preferably, the placement block has a placement platform on one side for placing the photovoltaic panel, and a slide rail on the other side. The slider is slidably connected on the slide rail. The bottom of the slider has a threaded groove, and an adjusting bolt is threaded into the threaded groove. Rotating the adjusting bolt pushes the slider to slide on the slide rail, which in turn pushes the clamping plate located on one side of the slider to move, causing the clamping plate to rotate around the pivot. This causes the end of the clamping plate above the photovoltaic panel to move downward, thereby clamping and fixing the photovoltaic panel on the placement platform.

[0015] Preferably, a return spring is provided between the lower side of the clamping plate and the top side of the placement block to reset the clamping plate.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-2 This application provides a new technical solution: a photovoltaic module mounting fixture, including a mounting component 100, a placement component 200, a photovoltaic panel 300, and a clamping component 400. The mounting component 100 is used to mount the fixture on the corrugated steel roof purlin. The placement components 200 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the upper end of the mounting component 100, and the two sides of the two placement components 200 are used to place the photovoltaic panels 300. The clamping component 400 is fixedly mounted on the mounting component 100, and the clamping component 400 is located between the two placement components 200. The clamping component 400 is used to clamp and fix the photovoltaic panels 300 on the two placement components 200.

[0031] The clamping assembly 400 includes a fixing plate 401, which is fixedly installed on the mounting assembly 100. Clamping plates 402 are rotatably connected to both sides of the fixing plate 401 via a rotating shaft 403. The clamping plates 402 are arranged in an "L" shape, and one end of the clamping plate 402 is located above the photovoltaic panel 300 for clamping and fixing the photovoltaic panel 300.

[0032] The placement assembly 200 includes a placement block 201. One side of the placement block 201 is used to place the photovoltaic panel 300. The other side of the placement block 201 is slidably connected to a slider 204. The slider 204 is arranged in the shape of a right trapezoid. The other end of the clamping plate 402 contacts the inclined side of the slider 204. By sliding the slider 204 on the other side of the placement block 201, the clamping plate 402 is driven to rotate around the rotating shaft 403, so that the end of the clamping plate 402 above the photovoltaic panel 300 moves downward to clamp and fix the photovoltaic panel 300 on the placement block 201.

[0033] In some embodiments, the placement component 200 is detachably and fixedly installed on both sides of the upper end of the mounting component 100. The placement component 200 is detachably and fixedly installed on the upper end of the mounting component 100 via bolts or slots. When using bolts, the placement component 200 is fixed to the mounting component 100 by tightening the bolts; disassembly is achieved by loosening the bolts. When using slots, the protrusions on the placement component 200 are inserted into the grooves of the mounting component 100 for fixation; disassembly is achieved by simply pulling it out. This detachable and fixed installation method facilitates the replacement of placement components 200 of different specifications according to actual needs, and also facilitates later maintenance and repair of the fixture, improving the versatility and flexibility of the fixture.

[0034] In some embodiments, the fixing plate 401 is detachably fixed to the upper end of the mounting assembly 100 by a second mounting bolt 404. During installation, the second mounting bolt 404 is passed through the corresponding through holes on the fixing plate 401 and the mounting assembly 100, and the nut is tightened to secure it. During disassembly, the nut is loosened and the bolt is removed. This facilitates the installation and disassembly of the clamping assembly 400, and when the clamping assembly 400 is damaged, it can be replaced individually, reducing maintenance costs.

[0035] In some embodiments, the mounting assembly 100 includes a connecting plate 101, and the placement assembly 200 and the clamping assembly 400 are both fixedly mounted on the connecting plate 101. An mounting component 102 is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the connecting plate 101, and a mating component 103 is correspondingly mounted on one side of the mounting component 102. The mounting assembly 100 can be mounted on the corrugated steel roof purlins through the mounting component 102 and the mating component 103.

[0036] In this embodiment, the mounting component 102 and the mating component 103 are connected by a first mounting bolt 104 to clamp the mounting assembly 100 onto the corrugated steel roof purlin. The upper end of the mating component 103 is provided with a plug-in component 105, and the bottom of the connecting plate 101 is provided with a plug-in groove 106. The shapes of the plug-in component 105 and the plug-in groove 106 are correspondingly arranged. The plug-in component 105 can be fully or partially inserted into the plug-in groove 106; in this embodiment, the plug-in component 105 can be fully inserted into the plug-in groove 106. When the mounting component 102 mates with the mating component 103, the plug-in component 105 passes into the plug-in groove 106 and engages with the wall of the mating component 103 corresponding to the plug-in groove 106. This allows the mounting component 102 and the mating component 103 to engage more stably, resulting in a more stable clamping onto the corrugated steel roof purlin and better support for the mounting assembly 100. The connection of the first mounting bolt 104 ensures that the mounting assembly 100 can be firmly clamped onto the corrugated steel roof purlin, while the cooperation between the plug-in component 105 and the plug-in slot 106 further improves the stability of the installation, enabling the clamp to better support the photovoltaic panel 300 and enhancing the wind and earthquake resistance of the entire device.

[0037] In some embodiments, the placement block 201 has a placement platform 202 on one side for placing the photovoltaic panel 300, and a slide rail 203 on the other side of the placement block 201. The slider 204 is slidably connected on the slide rail 203. The bottom of the slider 204 has a threaded groove 206, and an adjusting bolt 205 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove 206. Rotating the adjusting bolt 205 pushes the slider 204 to slide on the slide rail 203, which pushes the clamping plate 402 located on one side of the slider 204 to move, causing the clamping plate 402 to rotate around the rotating shaft 403, so that the end of the clamping plate 402 above the photovoltaic panel 300 moves downward to clamp and fix the photovoltaic panel 300 on the placement platform 202. Rotating the adjusting bolt 205 causes the slider 204 to slide on the slide rail 203, as it is threadedly connected to the threaded groove 206 at the bottom of the slider 204. The inclined side of the slider 204 pushes the clamping plate 402 to move, causing it to rotate around the pivot 403. The end of the clamping plate 402 located above the photovoltaic panel 300 moves downwards, thus clamping and fixing the photovoltaic panel 300. The sliding distance of the slider 204 can be controlled by adjusting the adjusting bolt 205, thereby adjusting the clamping force of the clamping plate 402 on the photovoltaic panel 300. This ensures the photovoltaic panel 300 is securely fixed while preventing damage from excessive pressure. The operation is simple and convenient, and the fixing effect is reliable.

[0038] In some embodiments, a return spring 500 is provided between the lower side of the clamping plate 402 and the top side of the placement block 201 to reset the clamping plate 402. When it is necessary to loosen the photovoltaic panel 300, the adjusting bolt 205 is rotated in the opposite direction, and the slider 204 slides downward along the slide rail 203, reducing or eliminating the pushing force of the slider 204 on the clamping plate 402. The return spring 500 generates an elastic restoring force, pushing the clamping plate 402 to rotate in the opposite direction around the rotating shaft 403, causing the end of the clamping plate 402 above the photovoltaic panel 300 to move upward, thus achieving reset. The setting of the return spring 500 enables the clamping plate 402 to automatically reset when the photovoltaic panel 300 is loosened, facilitating the disassembly and replacement of the photovoltaic panel 300.

[0039] Working principle: The mounting component 102 and the mating component 103 are used to clamp the corrugated steel purlin. The first mounting bolt 104 is tightened, and the plug-in component 105 automatically snaps into the plug-in slot 106 at the bottom of the connecting plate 101, thus fixing the mounting component 100. The edge of the photovoltaic panel 300 is placed on the placement platform 202. The adjusting bolt 205 is rotated clockwise to push the slider 204 to move upward along the slide rail 203. The inclined side of the slider 204 pushes the clamping plate 402 to rotate around the rotating shaft 403, and the L-shaped short arm presses down on the edge of the photovoltaic panel 300 to achieve clamping and fixing of the photovoltaic panel 300. When it is necessary to remove the photovoltaic panel 300, the adjusting bolt 205 is rotated counterclockwise to move the slider 204 downward. The reset spring 500 pulls the clamping plate 402 back to its original position and the L-shaped short arm is raised, so that the photovoltaic panel 300 can be removed.

In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0041] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this application, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
