Description

Technical Field

[0002] Photovoltaics is short for solar photovoltaic power generation system. Its core is to use the photovoltaic effect of semiconductor materials to directly convert sunlight into electrical energy. Vertical photovoltaic panels refer to photovoltaic modules installed vertically or nearly vertically, usually with an inclination angle of 80° to 90°.

[0003] Photovoltaic connection structures are the foundation used to fix photovoltaic panels and brackets in a photovoltaic system, and their performance directly affects the stability, safety, and installation efficiency of the photovoltaic system.

[0004] While existing vertical photovoltaic (PV) connection structures can connect and install PV panels, they suffer from poor flexibility in adjusting the installation position, relying heavily on fixed supports. This makes it difficult to precisely adjust the height according to actual needs, and the adjustment process is prone to problems such as swaying and uneven stress, affecting installation stability. Furthermore, the connection strength between the connecting components and the PV panels is insufficient, and long-term use can lead to deformation at the connection points due to external forces or their own weight, reducing the system's lifespan. In addition, when multiple PV panels are combined for installation, the existing connection structures exhibit poor inter-component compatibility, with joints prone to loosening and lacking a robust multi-directional connection design. This makes it difficult to meet the installation requirements of large-scale vertical PV arrays, causing inconvenience for construction and subsequent maintenance. Therefore, a new vertical PV connection structure is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4This utility model provides an embodiment of a vertical photovoltaic connection structure, including a photovoltaic body 1, which is the main body of a vertically installed photovoltaic panel and is the core component for realizing photoelectric conversion. A connection adjustment assembly 3 is provided on the back of the photovoltaic body 1. The connection adjustment assembly 3 is used to adjust the installation position of the photovoltaic body 1, ensuring the stability and adaptability of the vertical installation. The connection adjustment assembly 3 includes a first connecting seat 31 and a second connecting seat 32. The first connecting seat 31 and the second connecting seat 32 serve as reference components for vertical connection, playing a role in bearing and connection. A mounting through hole is provided at the center of the first connecting seat 31, which is used to cooperate with the mounting post 21 in the assembly assembly 2 to achieve a movable connection with the assembly assembly 2. The outer wall of the first connecting seat 31 is fixedly connected to the upper edge of the back of the photovoltaic body 1. This connection method ensures that the first connecting seat 31 is stably installed in the upper position of the photovoltaic body 1. The outer wall of the second connecting seat 32 is fixedly connected to the lower edge of the back of the photovoltaic body 1, so that the second connecting seat 32 forms a stable support at the lower part of the photovoltaic body 1. A reinforcing rib plate 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second connecting seat 32. The reinforcing rib plate 33 can enhance the structural strength of the connection between the second connecting seat 32 and the photovoltaic body 1 and prevent the connection from being damaged due to excessive force. There are two reinforcing rib plates 33, which are mirror images of each other along the central axis of the second connecting seat 32. This symmetrical arrangement can make the second connecting seat 32 bear force evenly and further improve the structural stability. The outer walls of the two reinforcing rib plates 33 are fixedly connected to the lower edge of the back of the photovoltaic body 1. Attached to the back of the photovoltaic body 1, the reinforcement effect of the reinforcing rib plate 33 is further enhanced through a fixed connection with the photovoltaic body 1. An adjusting guide rod 34 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second connecting seat 32. The adjusting guide rod 34 is used to assist in positioning the photovoltaic body 1 when it is adjusted up and down. An adjusting rod 35 is fixedly connected between the first connecting seat 31 and the second connecting seat 32. The adjusting rod 35 serves to connect the first connecting seat 31 and the second connecting seat 32. There are two adjusting rods 35, which are mirror images of each other along the central axis of the photovoltaic body 1. The double adjusting rod 35 design makes the sliding of the photovoltaic body 1 more stable and the force more balanced during the lifting and lowering adjustment. The outer surface of the adjusting rod 35 is provided with a locking groove 36, which cooperates with the locking bolt 310 for fixing the adjustment. The adjustment rod 35 is positioned within the sliding hole connecting seat 38. The sliding hole connecting seat 38 is sleeved on the outer side of the adjustment rod 35. The sliding hole connecting seat 38 provides a limit for the sliding of the adjustment rod 35. A connecting ring 37 is fixedly connected to the back of the sliding hole connecting seat 38. The connecting ring 37 is used to connect with the connecting rod 23 in the assembly component 2, realizing the association between the adjustment component 3 and the assembly component 2. A connecting threaded hole 39 is provided on the back of the sliding hole connecting seat 38. The connecting threaded hole 39 provides an installation channel for the locking bolt 310. The locking bolt 310 is threadedly connected between the connecting threaded hole 39 and the locking slot 36. The locking bolt 310 locks the adjustment rod 35 at the required installation height position within the sliding hole connecting seat 38 by screwing it into the connecting threaded hole 39 and engaging it in the locking slot 36.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The back of the photovoltaic body 1 is provided with an assembly component 2. The assembly component 2 is a key component for fixing the photovoltaic body 1 to a designated position and connecting multiple photovoltaic bodies 1. The assembly component 2 includes a mounting post 21. The outer side of the mounting post 21 is movably connected to the mounting through hole of the first connecting seat 31. The mounting post 21 is the core support component of the assembly component 2 and is used to connect with the first connecting seat 31. The top of the mounting post 21 is provided with an insertion groove, and the adjusting guide rod 34 is movably connected to the inside of the insertion groove. The insertion groove provides an insertion space for the adjusting guide rod 34. The movable connection allows the adjusting guide rod 34 to move within the groove, assisting in the lifting and lowering adjustment of the photovoltaic body 1. The bottom end of the mounting post 21 is fixedly connected to a fixing seat 22. The fixing seat 22 is used to fix the entire assembly component 2 to the mounting base, such as the ground or bracket. The outer side of the mounting post 21 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 23. The connecting rod 23 is used to connect the mounting post 21 and the connecting ring 37, and also plays a supporting and force-transmitting role. The outer wall of the connecting rod 23 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting ring 37. The assembly component 2 and the connecting adjustment component 3 are securely connected by a fixed connection with the connecting ring 37. One end of the connecting rod 23 is fixedly connected to a plug post 24, which is used to cooperate with the plug slot 26 of the connecting rod 23 in the adjacent assembly component 2 to realize the connection of multiple assembly components 2. The other end of the connecting rod 23 is provided with a plug slot 26, which provides insertion space for the plug post 24 of the adjacent connecting rod 23, facilitating the assembly of multiple photovoltaic bodies 1. The inner wall of the plug slot 26 is provided with a locking hole 27. In conjunction with the telescopic locking pin 25, it is used to lock the plug post 24 inserted into the plug slot 26. The telescopic locking pin 25 is fixedly connected to the outside of the plug post 24. After the plug post 24 is inserted into the plug slot 26, the telescopic locking pin 25 can pop out and lock into the locking hole 27, so as to realize the stable connection between the plug post 24 and the plug slot 26. There are multiple telescopic locking pins 25 and plug slots 26, and the multiple telescopic locking pins 25 and plug slots 26 are arranged in a ring with equal spacing. The design of multiple and equally spaced rings can make the connection between adjacent assembly components 2 more stable.

[0034] Working principle: During installation, the mounting column 21 of the assembly component 2 is first fixed to the foundation position using the fixing seat 22. At this time, the photovoltaic body 1 is connected to the assembly component 2 through the connecting adjustment component 3 on the back. The mounting through hole of the first connecting seat 31 is fitted onto the outside of the mounting column 21. The sliding hole connecting seat 38 is fixed to the connecting rod 23 on the mounting column 21 through the connecting ring 37, so that the photovoltaic body 1 is initially hung on the assembly component 2. If it is necessary to adjust the height of the photovoltaic body 1, the locking bolt 310 can be loosened to disengage it from the locking slot 36. The photovoltaic body 1 is pushed to drive the adjusting rod 35 to slide along the sliding hole connecting seat 38 until the appropriate height is reached. Then, the locking bolt 310 is screwed into the connecting thread hole 39 and locked into the corresponding locking slot 36 to lock the position of the adjusting rod 35 and complete the height fixation. During the process, the adjusting guide rod 34 at the bottom of the second connecting seat 32 will move synchronously in the insertion groove at the top of the mounting post 21. With the symmetrical design of the double adjusting rods 35, the adjustment is stable. The reinforcing rib 33 enhances the connection strength between the second connecting seat 32 and the photovoltaic body 1, and avoids deformation under force during adjustment. When multiple photovoltaic bodies 1 need to be combined, the insertion post 24 at one end of the connecting rod 23 is inserted into the insertion slot 26 at the other end of the adjacent connecting rod 23. At this time, the telescopic pin 25 on the outside of the insertion post 24 will pop out and lock into the locking hole 27 on the inner wall of the insertion slot 26. Through the cooperation of multiple annularly distributed telescopic pins 25 and insertion slots 26, the adjacent assembly components 2 are stably connected, thereby completing the vertical combination installation of multiple photovoltaic bodies 1 and meeting the installation requirements of different scenarios.
