Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of photovoltaic module installation technology, and specifically relates to a guide rail base support component. Background Technology
[0002] As living standards improve, people's demands for quality of life are also increasing. Central air conditioning and underfloor heating are gradually becoming commonplace. However, operating all these functions requires a significant amount of electricity, resulting in high electricity bills. Installing photovoltaic (PV) modules on the roof offers several advantages. Firstly, it saves on electricity costs without generating pollution or noise. Secondly, the modules effectively reduce indoor temperatures, especially in summer. By converting solar energy into electricity, the PV panels act as an insulation layer, reducing indoor temperatures by 3-5 degrees Celsius in real-world tests. They also provide effective insulation in winter. Therefore, many families choose to install PV modules.
[0003] However, existing rail base supports have some significant drawbacks. One prominent issue is their relatively low support height for the rails. In actual photovoltaic projects, different application scenarios and design requirements often necessitate diverse requirements for the rail support height. For example, in areas with complex terrain, or to achieve better lighting angles and ventilation, the rails need to be installed at higher positions. However, existing supports, due to their limited support height, struggle to meet these diverse needs, significantly reducing their adaptability and, in many cases, limiting the installation flexibility and overall performance of the photovoltaic system.
[0004] Furthermore, the existing guide rail supports have a relatively small contact area with the roof. When a photovoltaic system is installed on the roof, this small contact area causes excessive pressure concentration on the roof. Over long-term use, this concentrated pressure can cause significant damage to the roof, especially for roofs made of relatively fragile materials or with insufficient structural strength. This damage may lead to problems such as cracks and deformation, affecting not only the roof's waterproofing performance and lifespan but also posing potential risks to the safe operation of the photovoltaic system.
[0005] Therefore, this application provides a guide rail base support to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0006] This utility model provides a guide rail base support component, which aims to solve the problems pointed out in the background art.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A guide rail base support includes: a base plate, a pair of clamping plates disposed opposite each other in the middle of the base plate, a clamping portion formed between the two clamping plates, the clamping portion being used to clamp the guide rail; the edge of the base plate located below the guide rail is bent upward to form a support plate, the support plate being used to support the guide rail.
[0008] Furthermore, the clamping plate includes, from top to bottom, a guide portion, a clamping portion, and a connecting plate; The guide portion is provided with an outwardly inclined opening to guide the guide rail into the clamping portion; The clamping part is inclined inward and retracted to clamp the guide rail; The connecting plate is used to connect the clamping part to the base plate, and the height of the clamping part is higher than the height of the support plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the connecting plate is perpendicular to the base plate.
[0010] Furthermore, the included angle β between the clamping part and the connecting plate is 130°-155°.
[0011] Furthermore, the included angle γ between the guide portion and the clamping portion is 115°-125°.
[0012] Furthermore, a rubber pad is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the base plate.
[0013] Furthermore, the base plate has several through holes for fixed connection to the roof via bolt assemblies.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects: 1. The guide rail base support described in this utility model can effectively clamp the guide rail from both sides by forming a clamping part through a pair of oppositely arranged clamping plates. In the actual operation of the photovoltaic system, it will be subjected to various external forces, such as wind and rain. The clamping plates can limit the horizontal displacement of the guide rail, prevent the guide rail from swaying or deviating, and keep the guide rail in a stable position after installation, thereby ensuring the stability of the entire photovoltaic module installation structure.
[0015] 2. The guide rail base support of this utility model, formed by bending the edge of the base plate upwards to form a support plate located below the guide rail, provides reliable bottom support for the guide rail. It can bear the weight of the guide rail and the photovoltaic modules installed on it, preventing the guide rail from bending and deforming due to excessive weight. This bottom support, combined with the clamping action on both sides, further enhances the stability of the guide rail installation. Furthermore, the support plate spans the entire base plate, providing more stable support for the guide rail. The higher height of the support members on both sides allows for adaptation to different types of guide rails, increases the distance between the guide rail and the roof, and ensures water repellency beneath the guide rail.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments of this application and the accompanying drawings.
[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a guide rail base support includes: a base plate 1, a pair of clamping plates 2 are disposed opposite each other in the middle of the base plate 1, and a clamping part 3 is formed between the two clamping plates 2, the clamping part 3 is used to clamp the guide rail 6; the edge of the base plate 1 located below the guide rail 6 is bent upward to form a support plate 4, the support plate 4 is used to support the guide rail 6.
[0020] The clamping part 3 formed by a pair of opposing clamping plates 2 can effectively clamp the guide rail 6 from both sides. In the actual operation of the photovoltaic system, it will be subjected to various external forces, such as wind and rain. The clamping plate 2 can limit the horizontal displacement of the guide rail 6, prevent the guide rail 6 from swaying or deviating, and keep the guide rail 6 in a stable position after installation, thereby ensuring the stability of the entire photovoltaic module installation structure. The support plate 4, formed by bending upwards from the edge of the base plate 1, is located below the guide rail 6 and provides reliable bottom support for the guide rail 6. It can bear the weight of the guide rail 6 and the photovoltaic modules installed on the guide rail 6, preventing the guide rail 6 from bending and deforming due to excessive weight. This bottom support, together with the clamping action on both sides, further enhances the stability of the guide rail 6 installation. Moreover, the two support plates 4 span the entire base plate 1, which can further improve the stability of the guide rail support.
[0021] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the clamping plate 2 includes, from top to bottom, a guide portion 201, a clamping portion 202, and a connecting plate 203; The guide portion 201 is provided with an outwardly inclined opening to guide the guide rail 6 into the clamping portion 202; The guide section 201 has an outwardly inclined opening, which acts like an "entrance ramp" for the guide rail 6 to enter the clamping section 202. When installing the guide rail, the guide rail 6 can easily slide in along the inclined angle of the guide section 201, which plays a good guiding role. This greatly reduces the difficulty of installation. Even in some high-altitude operations or in situations with limited operating space, installers can place the guide rail 6 in the appropriate position more conveniently and accurately, thus improving installation efficiency. The clamping part 202 is inclined inward and retracted to clamp the guide rail 6; The clamping part 202 is inclined inward and recessed. When the guide rail 6 enters the clamping part 202, the clamping part 202 exerts inward and downward compressive forces on the guide rail 6. This structure gives the clamping part 202 a certain degree of elasticity, allowing it to adaptively adjust according to the actual size of the guide rail 6, thereby tightly clamping the guide rail 6. During the operation of the photovoltaic system, even when subjected to external forces such as wind and vibration, the guide rail 6 is not easily dislodged from the clamping part 202, ensuring the stability and reliability of the guide rail 6 installation.
[0022] The connecting plate 203 connects the clamping part 202 to the base plate 1, and ensures that the height of the clamping part 202 is higher than the height of the support plate 4. This design, where the clamping part 202 is higher than the support plate 4, creates a reasonable support structure. The clamping part 202 presses inward and downward against the guide rail 6, while the support plate 4 provides upward support to the guide rail 6, thus completing the clamping of the guide rail 6.
[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, the connecting plate 203 is perpendicular to the base plate 1. The perpendicularity of the connecting plate 203 to the base plate 1 creates a stable mechanical support system. This helps reduce the deformation and swaying of the clamping plate 2 under stress, ensuring the stability and safety of the entire photovoltaic system.
[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, the included angle β between the clamping part 202 and the connecting plate 203 is 130°-155°. This angle range gives the clamping part 202 suitable elasticity and flexibility. When the guide rail 6 enters the clamping part 202, the clamping part 202 can undergo elastic deformation to a certain extent, thereby tightly holding the guide rail 6.
[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, the included angle γ between the guide portion 201 and the clamping portion 202 is 115°-125°. This angle range provides a suitable guiding path for the guide rail 6 to enter the clamping portion 202. The guide portion 201 opens outwards at this angle, enabling it to capture the guide rail 6 over a wider range, making it easier for the guide rail 6 to align and slide into the clamping portion 202. This angle setting further optimizes the guiding effect, making the installation of the guide rail 6 smoother and reducing jamming and obstruction during the installation process.
[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, a rubber pad 5 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the base plate 1. During the operation of the photovoltaic system, it is subject to various vibrations, such as vibrations caused by strong winds and vibrations generated by mechanical operation. The rubber pad 5 has good elasticity and cushioning performance, which can absorb and disperse these vibration energies, reducing the impact of vibration on the photovoltaic modules. This helps to reduce wear and damage to components caused by vibration, extend the service life of the equipment, and also reduce noise caused by vibration.
[0027] In one specific embodiment, the base plate 1 has several through holes for fixed connection with the roof via bolt assemblies.
[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, the installation of guide rail 6 mainly includes the following steps: Step 1: Rotate the guide rail 6 at a certain angle so that the latch on one side of the guide rail 6 first engages between the clamping part 202 and the support plate 4; Step 2: Press down the guide rail 6 by hand so that the other side of the guide rail 6 also engages between the clamping part 202 and the support plate 4, and the lower surface of the guide rail 6 abuts against the upper surface of the support plate 4, thus flattening the guide rail 6. Step 3: Slide the guide rail 6 left and right until it reaches the desired position to complete the installation. A small gap exists between the upper surface of the side support plates 4 and the bottom surface of the guide rail 6 to ensure smooth sliding.
[0029] Furthermore, the guide rail base support component of this application is formed by stamping and bending from a single piece of sheet metal, reducing the splicing and welding processes of raw materials and lowering material and processing costs. Simultaneously, since the stamping and bending process is suitable for mass production, it can achieve economies of scale, further reducing the production cost per unit. The support component, formed by stamping and bending from a single piece of sheet metal, has strong overall structural integrity and no weak points at splicing or welding points. When bearing the weight of the guide rail 6 and the photovoltaic module, as well as the forces from the external environment, it can more evenly distribute stress, improving the structural strength and load-bearing capacity of the support component and reducing the risk of damage caused by stress concentration.
[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
