Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of building engineering technology, and specifically relates to an inverter bracket suitable for T-shaped color steel tile roofs of coal sheds. Background Technology
[0002] Color-coated steel roofing sheets, also known as colored profiled sheets, are corrugated sheets made of color-coated steel plates that are roll-formed into a corrugated shape. They are mainly divided into angle-seam type, standing seam type, and T-type. They are suitable for roofing, wall cladding, and interior and exterior wall decoration of industrial and civil buildings, warehouses, special buildings, and large-span steel structure buildings. They are lightweight, high-strength, available in a variety of colors, easy and quick to install, earthquake-resistant, fireproof, rainproof, long-lasting, and maintenance-free. Due to these characteristics, color-coated steel roofing sheets are currently widely used on the roofs of warehouses, industrial plants, shopping malls, and other buildings.
[0003] my country has pledged to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 and peak CO2 emissions by 2030; non-fossil energy should account for 50% of electricity generation by 2030 and 18% by 2025; during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, photovoltaic projects will add 40-60 million kilowatts annually, and during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, photovoltaic projects will add 60-70 million kilowatts annually, of which distributed photovoltaic will account for about half of the total capacity. A large number of warehouses, industrial plants, shopping malls and other rooftops will be equipped with photovoltaic systems, including corrugated steel roofs.
[0004] In response to the national "30.60" dual-carbon target, major power generation groups are utilizing idle rooftop spaces such as enclosed coal yards in thermal power plants to install photovoltaic modules for power generation. This reduces the proportion of coal-fired power in plant power consumption, improves economic efficiency, and also enhances energy conservation and emission reduction.
[0005] Photovoltaic system support structures include photovoltaic module supports, inverter supports, cable tray supports, and maintenance access supports. Photovoltaic module supports are numerous and constitute a high proportion of the system, making them a key focus in the design. Inverters are devices in photovoltaic power generation systems that convert direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC), and are indispensable components. In photovoltaic systems with corrugated steel roofs, most inverters are installed on the roof, exposed to the outdoors, and must withstand sun, rain, and wind. However, inverters are relatively few in number, and their support structures constitute a small proportion, often being overlooked during the design process. If the adverse effects of the outdoor environment on the inverter support structure are not considered, it can lead to frequent inverter failures and reduced efficiency. This utility model designs an inverter support structure for enclosed coal sheds with T-shaped corrugated steel roofs. By considering outdoor environmental factors, it reduces the impact of adverse weather conditions such as sun and rain on the inverter, ensuring its safe and stable operation. Utility Model Content
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an inverter bracket suitable for T-shaped color steel tile roofs of coal sheds, reduce the impact of adverse weather factors such as outdoor sun exposure and rain on the inverter, and optimize and adjust the bracket structure to improve safety and stability.
[0007] According to the technical solution of this utility model, this utility model provides an inverter bracket suitable for a T-shaped color steel tile roof of a coal shed. A base beam (3) is connected to the T-shaped roof panel (1) by a clamp (2). A base longitudinal beam (4) is erected above the base beam (3). A column adjustment component (7) and a column diagonal brace (6) are respectively connected to the base longitudinal beam (4) by a triangular piece, as well as a column (5) sleeved on the column adjustment component (7). The column diagonal brace (6) is located at... One side of the column (5); the column brace (6) is connected to the column (5) by a triangular piece; a rain shelter beam (8) is provided at the upper end of the column (5), a rain shelter brace (9) is connected between the rain shelter beam (8) and the column (5), and a rain shelter (10) is connected to the rain shelter beam (8); an inverter beam (11) is provided in the middle of the column (5), and an inverter (12) is installed on the inverter beam (11).
[0008] Furthermore, the connection between the column brace (6) and the column adjusting member (7) and the base longitudinal beam (4) is a pivot connection structure formed by the triangular member.
[0009] Furthermore, several of the clamps (2) are together supported on a base beam (3), and the base beam (3) has two parallel beams on the T-shaped roof panel (1). The two base beams (3) are supported on two base longitudinal beams (4) near their ends. The base longitudinal beams (4) are perpendicular to the base beams (3) and form a grid structure.
[0010] Furthermore, one of the column braces (6), one of the column adjusters (7), and one of the columns (5) are located on the same plane and are connected below to the same base longitudinal beam (4).
[0011] Furthermore, the connection position of the column brace (6) and the base longitudinal beam (4) is located at one end of the base longitudinal beam (4) and directly below the clamp (2); the connection position of the column (5) and the base longitudinal beam (4) is located in the middle of the base longitudinal beam (4).
[0012] Furthermore, the inverter beam (11) consists of two or more parallel beams distributed vertically.
[0013] Furthermore, the connection position between the column brace (6) and the column (5) is located below the lowest inverter beam (11).
[0014] Furthermore, the free end of the rain shelter (10) has a downwardly extending baffle (13).
[0015] Furthermore, the end of the base beam (3) is connected to an adjacent clamp (2) by a cantilever section, the length of which is 100mm to 200mm.
[0016] Furthermore, the distance between the bottom of the inverter (12) and the bottom of the base longitudinal beam (4) is 400mm to 600mm.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. In an inverter bracket suitable for T-shaped color steel tile roofs of coal sheds, the height of the column can be adjusted by the column adjustment component, and the angle of the column and the column diagonal brace can be adjusted through the connection between the triangular component and the longitudinal beam of the base. This allows the diagonal brace to adapt to different column heights and the column to adapt to different roof slopes, ensuring the stability of the bracket support structure. At the same time, by setting a rain shelter above, it provides rain and sun protection, reduces the impact of adverse external weather factors, ensures the safe and stable operation of the inverter, and helps to improve the service life of the inverter.
[0018] 2. The inverter support structure of this utility model, suitable for T-shaped color steel tile roofs of coal sheds, is highly flexible and adjustable. Currently, inverters in different photovoltaic systems vary in model, size, and weight. The support structure of this solution can be adjusted according to different specifications and models of inverters, including clamp spacing, base beam and base longitudinal beam dimensions, column height and dimensions, inverter beam specifications and dimensions, and rain shelter dimensions. It can also adjust the size of the rain shelter according to the climate characteristics of different regions, adapting to the needs of different projects in different regions and providing external protection for the inverter.

[0023] This utility model relates to an inverter bracket design for T-shaped corrugated steel tile roofs. Considering outdoor environmental factors, it reduces the impact of adverse weather conditions such as sun exposure and rain on the inverter. Furthermore, the optimized bracket structure ensures safe and stable operation of the inverter. It is understood that this utility model is particularly suitable for T-shaped corrugated steel tile roof structures. By modifying the clamps, it can also be applied to standing seam roofs, etc. The following explanation uses a T-shaped corrugated steel tile roof as an example.
[0024] Based on the project requirements, the specifications and dimensions of the inverter 12, the number of inverters 12 to be placed on the bracket, and the cross-sectional dimensions of each component in the bracket are determined. Following the principle of construction from bottom to top, the preferred implementation process of this utility model is as follows, with the specific implementation sequence and method as follows. Please refer to the dimensions provided. Figure 3 , Figure 4 .
[0025] According to project requirements, select the specifications and model of inverter 12 and the number of inverter 12 to be arranged on the bracket, determine the cross-sectional dimensions of each component and the spacing of clamps 2. Usually, the spacing of clamps 2 is the spacing of two to four T-shaped columns in color steel tiles, preferably less than 1000mm; L1 is determined according to the height of column 5; L2 is the cantilever length of base beam 3, preferably 150mm; L5 is the distance from the connection between base beam 3 and base longitudinal beam 4 to clamp 2, preferably less than 500mm; L4 is the spacing between the upper and lower inverter beams 11, determined according to the height of inverter 12.
[0026] In addition, H2 is the distance between the top of the inverter 12 and the top of the rain shelter beam 8, which is usually preferably 300mm to 400mm; H3 is the height of the inverter 12; H4 is the distance between the bottom of the inverter 12 and the bottom of the base longitudinal beam 4, which is usually preferably 500mm for convenient construction and maintenance; H1 is the height of the column 5, which is determined comprehensively based on the above heights.
[0027] After determining the required component cross-sectional dimensions and length, install the clamp 2 on the T-shaped roof panel 1 according to the intended location of the support. (See also...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 A base beam 3 is connected to the T-shaped roof panel 1 via clamps 2. The clamps 2 are fixed using bolts, employing specialized T-shaped corrugated steel tile clamps. The upper end of the clamp 2 has a snap-fit structure and a horizontally extending connecting plate for connection to the base beam 3, for example, via bolts. Several clamps 2 collectively support a single base beam 3. Two or more parallel base beams 3 are provided on the T-shaped roof panel 1, and the base beam 3 is fixedly connected to the T-shaped roof panel 1 via clamps 2. The base beam 3 preferably has a cold-formed thin-walled U-shaped cross-section, and the material is preferably Q235B, hot-dip galvanized. Preferably, there is a cantilever section between the end of the base beam 3 and an adjacent clamp 2, with a length L4 of 100mm to 200mm, more preferably around 150mm, for better stress distribution.
[0028] A base longitudinal beam 4 is mounted above the base crossbeam 3, providing support for the base longitudinal beam 4. The two are connected by bolts. The base longitudinal beam 4 preferably has a cold-formed thin-walled U-shaped cross section, and is preferably made of Q235B hot-dip galvanized material. Specifically, for example, two base longitudinal beams 4 are mounted above the two base crossbeams 3 near their ends, perpendicular to the base crossbeams 3, thus forming a grid-like structure when viewed from above.
[0029] The base longitudinal beam 4 provides support for the column 5, column brace 6, and column adjuster 7. Specifically, the base longitudinal beam 4 is connected to the column brace 6 and column adjuster 7 via triangular fittings. The column 5 is fitted onto the column adjuster 7, and the height of the column 5 can be adjusted using the column adjuster 7 to accommodate installation errors. The column brace 6 is located on one side of the column 5 and is connected to the column 5 via triangular fittings. The column 5, column brace 6, and column adjuster 7 are preferably made of Q235B material, hot-dip galvanized, and cold-formed thin-walled U-shaped cross-section.
[0030] Preferably, the connection between the column diagonal brace 6, the column adjusting component 7, and the base longitudinal beam 4 is a pivotal connection structure formed by a triangular component. The connection between the column diagonal brace 6 and the column 5 is also a pivotal connection structure formed by a triangular component. This allows these connecting parts to rotate and adjust their angles before the structure is fixed. The column diagonal brace 6 can adapt to different column heights. Multiple bolt holes for connection are distributed along the length of the column 5, allowing it to be bolted to the base plate of the triangular component at the upper end of the column diagonal brace 6. Furthermore, the column 5 can also be adjusted in angle via the column adjusting component 7 to adapt to different roof slopes. For example, when the T-shaped roof panel 1 is not horizontal, the column 5 can be adjusted to be vertical, thereby improving the overall structural stress. This ensures that the weight direction of the heavier inverter 12 installed on the column 5 is basically the same as the length direction of the column 5, providing reliable support and ensuring the stability of the support structure. It also prevents the column 5 from tilting significantly, which could lead to bending or tipping, negatively impacting the stability of the structure over long-term use.
[0031] A rain shelter beam 8 is installed at the upper end of the column 5. The rain shelter beam 8 is connected to the column 5 by bolts and welding. A rain shelter diagonal brace 9 connects the rain shelter beam 8 and the column 5, and the rain shelter diagonal brace 9 is connected to the column 5 and the rain shelter beam 8 by bolts. A rain shelter 10 is connected to the rain shelter beam 8, and the rain shelter 10 is connected and fixed to the column 5 and the rain shelter beam 8 by bolts. The rain shelter beam 8 and the rain shelter diagonal brace 9 are preferably made of Q235B material, hot-dip galvanized, and equal angle steel.
[0032] An inverter beam 11 is installed in the middle of the column 5. The inverter beam 11 is preferably made of Q235B material and hot-dip galvanized, with a cold-formed thin-walled U-shaped cross section. Two or more inverter beams 11 are arranged parallel to each other vertically. An inverter 12 is installed on the inverter beam 11 by means of bolts, for example. The inverter 12 and the rain shelter 10 are located on the same side of the column 5. The rain shelter 10 is located directly above the inverter 12, thus providing both rain and sun protection. Preferably, the rain shelter 10 is a color steel tile structure (cold-formed profiled steel sheet), and its specifications, dimensions, and color are determined according to actual needs; for example... Figure 1 As shown, the free end of the rain shelter 10 has a downward-extending baffle 13, which prevents rainwater from flowing down the rain shelter crossbeam 8 or the lower part of the rain shelter 10. Figure 1 The water flows to the left and drips onto the inverter 12, thus reducing and mitigating the impact of rainfall on the inverter 12. In addition, the distance H4 between the bottom of the inverter 12 and the bottom of the base longitudinal beam 4 is 400mm to 600mm, more preferably about 500mm, which makes construction and maintenance work easier.
[0033] In summary, this utility model uses clamps 2 to fix the base beam 3. The column 5, column brace 6, and column adjustment piece 7 are connected to the base longitudinal beam 4 via triangular pieces and can be angled, thus adapting to different column heights and angles. The rain shelter brace 9 and rain shelter beam 8 are connected to the column 5 via bolts. The color steel sheet of the rain shelter 10 is stably connected to the column 5 and rain shelter beam 8 via bolts. Currently, the inverter 12 models, sizes, and weights vary in different photovoltaic systems. The bracket design of this utility model allows for adjustment of the clamp spacing, base beam 3 and base longitudinal beam 4 dimensions, column 5 height and dimensions, inverter beam 11 specifications and dimensions, and rain shelter 10 dimensions according to different specifications and models of inverter 12. It can also adjust the dimensions of the rain shelter 10 according to the climate characteristics of different regions, adapting to the needs of different projects in different regions and providing reliable external protection for the safe and stable operation of the inverter 12.
