[0002] Against the backdrop of the global energy structure accelerating its transition to renewable energy, solar energy, as a clean and sustainable energy source, continues to see its utilization scale expand. As the core component of a solar power generation system, the performance of the mounting track beam of the solar panel has a crucial impact on the stability and power generation efficiency of the entire system.

[0003] Existing solar panel mounting track beams are prone to deformation or even breakage under long-term loads from the solar panel's own weight, wind, rain, and snow, affecting the normal use and lifespan of the solar panels. Furthermore, the fixed angle of traditional solar panel mounting track beams makes it impossible to flexibly adjust the tilt angle of the solar panels according to actual sunlight conditions, resulting in the solar panels not receiving enough sunlight and causing low energy utilization efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the shortcomings of existing solar panel mounting track beams, which are prone to deformation or even breakage, and the fixed angle of traditional beams, which cannot flexibly adjust the tilt angle of the solar panels according to the actual sunlight conditions. Therefore, a solar panel mounting track beam is proposed.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A solar panel mounting track beam includes a beam with reinforcing ribs on the front and rear outer walls to enhance its strength. T-shaped grooves are provided on the upper and lower sides of the beam, and connectors are slidably connected in the T-shaped grooves. The connectors are connected to mounting plates through an angle locking structure. Mounting holes are provided on the mounting plates, and the mounting plates are bolted to the roof or wall through the mounting holes.

[0007] Small threaded holes are provided on the outer walls of the front and rear sides of the crossbeam, and L-shaped connecting plates that are connected to the bracket are fixedly installed in the small threaded holes by bolts.

[0008] Preferably, the reinforcing rib assembly includes a triangular reinforcing plate and a middle partition plate, wherein the triangular reinforcing plate and the middle partition plate are integrally formed with the crossbeam, and the middle partition plate is disposed between the two triangular reinforcing plates.

[0009] Preferably, the connector includes a rectangular sliding plate and a circular protrusion. The rectangular sliding plate is fixedly connected to the top of the circular protrusion, and the rectangular sliding plate is slidably connected to a T-shaped groove. The outer wall of the circular protrusion has an annular groove that matches the mounting plate.

[0010] Preferably, the angle locking structure includes a cylinder fixedly connected in an annular groove, a limiting hole is formed on the end face of the cylinder, a circular groove is formed on the outer wall of the mounting plate, a limiting block is fixedly connected in the circular groove, a large threaded hole is formed on the end face of the limiting block, and a slotted bolt is threaded into the large threaded hole.

[0011] Preferably, the limiting hole consists of a circular hole and slots arranged in a circumferential array along the inner wall of the circular hole, and the limiting block is adapted to the limiting hole.

[0012] Preferably, the circular groove slides into the cylinder, the limiting block slides into the limiting hole, and the connecting piece is inserted into the limiting hole from different angles and locked by a slotted bolt, so that the mounting plate can be adjusted to different angles according to the environment.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. In use, this utility model can be made of reinforcing ribs on the front and rear sides of the crossbeam. These ribs are composed of triangular reinforcing plates and a middle partition plate and are integrally formed with the crossbeam. This structural design can greatly enhance the strength and stability of the crossbeam. The triangular reinforcing plates use the stability principle of triangles to disperse the external forces on the crossbeam, and the middle partition plate further strengthens the overall rigidity of the crossbeam. This can effectively resist various loads such as the weight of the solar panel, wind, rain and snow, significantly reduce the risk of deformation or even breakage of the crossbeam, extend the service life of the solar panel installation system, and improve safety.

[0015] 2. In use, this utility model allows for flexible adjustment of the mounting plate angle through an angle-locking structure combined with a T-shaped groove and connector. The rectangular sliding plate of the connector can slide within the T-shaped groove, facilitating position adjustment during installation. The circular protrusion is connected to the mounting plate via the angle-locking structure, and the cooperation between the limiting block and the limiting hole, combined with the locking of the slotted bolt, allows the mounting plate to be flexibly adjusted between multiple preset angles according to the solar radiation angle in different regions and seasons. This design ensures that the solar panel is always at the optimal sunlight reception angle, effectively improving the power generation efficiency of the solar panel and enhancing the energy utilization rate of the solar power system.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Reference Figures 1-5 A solar panel mounting track crossbeam includes a crossbeam 1. The front and rear outer walls of the crossbeam 1 are provided with reinforcing rib assemblies 2 to enhance the strength of the crossbeam 1. The reinforcing rib assembly 2 is composed of a triangular reinforcing plate 9 and a middle partition plate 10. It is formed with the crossbeam 1 by an integrated casting or forging process, which eliminates the stress concentration and weld cracking hazards that may exist in traditional welding processes.

[0024] The triangular reinforcing plate 9 utilizes the high stability of the triangular structure to decompose the shear force and bending force on the crossbeam 1 into components in multiple directions, effectively improving the deformation resistance of the crossbeam 1; the middle partition plate 10 is set between the two triangular reinforcing plates 9 to further enhance the lateral rigidity of the crossbeam 1. When facing complex loads such as strong winds, it can significantly reduce the lateral displacement of the crossbeam 1, ensuring that the solar panel is always in a stable installation state.

[0025] T-shaped grooves 3 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the crossbeam 1. The design of the T-shaped grooves 3 not only facilitates the quick installation and disassembly of the connectors 4, but also allows for fine-tuning during installation to ensure the accuracy of the solar panel installation position. The connectors 4 are slidably connected in the T-shaped grooves 3. The connectors 4 are connected to the mounting plate 5 through an angle locking structure. The angle locking structure includes a cylinder 13 fixedly connected in an annular groove. A limit hole 14 is provided on the end face of the cylinder 13. A circular groove 15 is provided on the outer wall of the mounting plate 5. A limit block 16 is fixedly connected in the circular groove 15. A large threaded hole 17 is provided on the end face of the limit block 16. A slotted bolt 18 is threadedly connected in the large threaded hole 17.

[0026] By inserting the limiting block 16 into the slots at different positions, the mounting plate 5 can be switched between multiple preset angles. Finally, by screwing the flathead bolt 18 into the large threaded hole 17 on the end face of the limiting block 16, the limiting block 16 is firmly locked in the limiting hole 14, ensuring that the mounting plate 5 will not shift in angle due to external force during use, and ensuring that the solar panel is always in the best working condition.

[0027] Mounting plate 5 has mounting holes 6. Mounting plate 5 is bolted to the roof or wall through mounting holes 6. Mounting holes 6 are designed in a standardized manner according to common bolt specifications, which makes it easy to quickly fix to the roof or wall with bolts.

[0028] Small threaded holes 7 are provided on the outer walls of the front and rear sides of the crossbeam 1. An L-shaped connecting plate 8 connected to the bracket is fixedly installed in the small threaded holes 7 by bolts. The L-shaped connecting plate 8 is made of high-strength metal. After being fixedly connected to the small threaded holes 7 by bolts, it can be easily connected to the solar panel bracket.

[0029] The connector 4 includes a rectangular slide plate 11 and a circular protrusion 12. The top of the rectangular slide plate 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the circular protrusion 12. The rectangular slide plate 11 is slidably connected to the T-shaped slide groove 3. The outer wall of the circular protrusion 12 is provided with an annular groove that matches the mounting plate 5. The top of the circular protrusion 12 is fixedly connected to the rectangular slide plate 11. The annular groove on its outer wall cooperates with the mounting plate 5 for installing the angle locking structure. The size and depth of the annular groove are mechanically calculated to ensure the connection strength and stability of the mounting plate 5 when it is adjusted at different angles.

[0030] The limiting hole 14 consists of a circular hole and slots arranged in a circumferential array along the inner wall of the circular hole. The limiting block 16 is adapted to the limiting hole 14. The number and angle of the slots in the limiting hole 14 are precisely designed to meet the adjustment needs of the tilt angle of the solar panel in different regions and seasons.

[0031] The circular groove 15 slides with the cylinder 13, the limiting block 16 slides with the limiting hole 14, and the connecting piece 4 inserts the limiting block 16 into the limiting hole 14 from different angles and locks it with the slotted bolt 18, so that the mounting plate 5 can be adjusted to different angles according to the environment.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] First, the crossbeam 1 can be fixed to the bracket on the roof or wall using the L-shaped connecting plate 8, and the connection can be secured by tightening the small threaded hole 7 with bolts. Then, the rectangular sliding plate 11 of the connector 4 can be embedded into the T-shaped sliding groove 3 of the crossbeam 1, slidably adjusted to the desired position, and fixed to the roof or wall with bolts through the mounting holes 6 of the mounting plate 5, so as to achieve rapid installation of the solar panel support structure.

[0034] Next, adjust the angle of the solar panel according to the sun's position and seasonal requirements: loosen the flathead bolt 18, remove the limiting block 16 of the mounting plate 5 from the current slot of the limiting hole 14, rotate the mounting plate 5 to the target angle, align the limiting block 16 with the new slot and insert it, and finally tighten the flathead bolt 18 to lock it in place. The triangular reinforcing plate 9 and the intermediate partition plate 10 work together to resist wind load and bending force, ensuring that the crossbeam 1 does not shift laterally under strong winds, while the T-shaped slide 3 allows for fine adjustment of the position of the connector 4, thereby accurately positioning the solar panel and ensuring its long-term stable operation.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
