Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mounting bracket technology, and in particular to a solar panel mounting bracket. Background Technology
[0002] Solar panels (photovoltaic modules) are products that convert solar energy into electrical energy. When in use, they need to be installed under the sun so that their surface is fully exposed to sunlight. This installation requires corresponding mounting brackets. Currently, solar panel mounting brackets generally include a mounting frame for holding the solar panels and a base for supporting them, such as... Figure 1 As shown, during assembly, a plate on the bottom of the mounting frame is attached to a plate on the base. A C-shaped clamp is then inserted between the two plates, and bolts are screwed into the clamp from one end. As the bolts are screwed in, their tips push against one of the plates, achieving a secure connection through interaction with the clamp. While this connection meets assembly requirements, the bolt tips can easily press against the plates during assembly, causing indentations and irreversible damage. Furthermore, after assembly, the limited surface area of the bolt tips, relying solely on them as a clamping surface, results in poor stability, posing a potential vulnerability to the overall mounting bracket. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a solar panel mounting bracket.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A solar panel mounting bracket includes a base, a mounting frame, a first clamp, and a second clamp. One end of the mounting frame has a mounting slot for mounting solar panels, and the other end of the mounting frame has a first extension edge. The top of the base has a second extension edge, and the lower end of the base is connected to a corner bracket. Both the first clamp and the second clamp have corners in the middle. One end of the first clamp presses against the first extension edge, and the other end of the first clamp has a notch. The bottom of the second extension edge has at least one locking protrusion. One end face of the second clamp is abutted against the bottom of the second extension edge and has a locking groove for interlocking with the locking protrusion. The other end of the second clamp is bent to form a convex edge, and the end of the convex edge is embedded in the notch. The first clamp and the second clamp are locked together by fasteners.
[0006] Preferably, the portion of the first clip that contacts the first extension edge or the top surface of the first extension edge is provided with an anti-slip surface.
[0007] Preferably, the anti-slip surface is a serrated surface.
[0008] Preferably, the notch is semi-circular, and the shape of the end of the protruding edge corresponds to the shape of the notch, so that the protruding edge can be embedded in the notch and rotated.
[0009] Preferably, a water trough is provided on the side of the base.
[0010] By adopting the above solution, this utility model eliminates the need for bolt pressing for locking and directly uses the first and second clamps as clamps to achieve surface-to-surface pressing, which not only avoids damaging the mounting frame and base but also ensures the stability of the locking and improves the structural robustness.

[0019] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. They can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection.

[0020] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a solar panel mounting bracket, including a base 1, a mounting frame 2, a first clamp 3, and a second clamp 4. One end of the mounting frame 2 is provided with a mounting slot 5 for mounting solar panels, and the other end of the mounting frame 2 is provided with a first extension edge 6. The top of the base 1 is provided with a second extension edge 7, and the lower end of the base 1 is connected to a corner bracket 8, which is fixedly installed on a purlin (or square tube). The middle of the first clamp 3 and the second clamp 4 are both provided with corners 9. One end of the first clamp 3 presses against the first extension edge 6, and the other end of the first clamp 3 is provided with a notch 10. The bottom of the second extension edge 7 is provided with at least one latching protrusion 11. One end face of the second clamp 4 is attached to the bottom of the second extension edge 7 and is provided with a latching groove 12 for interlocking with the latching protrusion 11. The other end of the second clamp 4 is bent to form a protruding edge 13, and the end of the protruding edge 13 is embedded in the notch 10. The first clamp 3 and the second clamp 4 are locked together by fasteners 14.
[0021] The main difference in this embodiment is that it abandons the method of locking by bolt pressing and directly uses the first clamping piece 3 and the second clamping piece 4 as clamps to achieve surface-to-surface pressing, which will not damage the mounting frame 2 and the base 1, and can ensure the stability of the locking and improve the reliability of the structure.
[0022] During assembly, align the base 1 and mounting frame 2, and bring the first extension edge 6 and the second extension edge 7 together. Then, take out the first clamping piece 3 and the second clamping piece 4 and insert them into the fastener 14 (bolt), but do not tighten them. Then, let one end of the first clamping piece 3 and the second clamping piece 4 overlap the first extension edge 6 and the second extension edge 7 respectively, and let the locking protrusion 11 on the second extension edge 7 insert into the locking groove 12 to prevent the second clamping piece 4 from moving and to ensure pre-positioning. Finally, gradually tighten the fastener 14. As the fastener 14 tightens, since the second clamping piece 4 will not move, the first clamping piece 3 and the second clamping piece 4 will clamp the first extension edge 6 and the second extension edge 7 accordingly. After tightening, let the surface areas of the first clamping piece 3 and the second clamping piece 4 contact the first extension edge 6 and the second extension edge 7, thereby avoiding damage to the first extension edge 6 and the second extension edge 7. The increased clamping surface area will achieve a tighter lock.
[0023] Furthermore, to further enhance clamping stability, an anti-slip surface 15 is provided at the contact point between the first clamping piece 3 and the first extended edge 6, or on the top surface of the first extended edge 6, in this embodiment. Specifically, the anti-slip surface 15 is a serrated surface. This reduces slippage and improves stability during clamping.
[0024] Furthermore, in order to achieve pre-installation between the first clip 3 and the second clip 4, it is necessary to insert the top of the protruding edge 13 into the recess 10. However, during assembly, an adaptive adjustment of the angle is required. Therefore, the recess 10 in this embodiment is semi-circular in shape, and the shape of the end of the protruding edge 13 corresponds to the shape of the recess 10, so that the protruding edge 13 can be inserted into the recess 10 and rotated. In this way, the installation angle can be rotated and adapted during assembly by relying on this rotation.
[0025] Furthermore, to enhance auxiliary functions, a water trough 16 is provided on the side of the base 1 in this embodiment. In this way, when water seeps into the mounting frame 2, all the seeping water can flow into the water trough 16, allowing the water to be discharged in an orderly manner.
[0026] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
