Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rooftop photovoltaic installation technology, and in particular to a novel rooftop photovoltaic installation mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) technology, rooftop photovoltaic systems have become an important form of urban renewable energy application. Traditional installation methods mostly rely on on-site welding or bolt fixing, which suffers from low installation efficiency and poor adaptability, especially for irregularly shaped roofs or locations requiring frequent maintenance. With the large-scale promotion of distributed photovoltaics, developing installation mechanisms that combine rapid installation, reliable fixing, and strong roof adaptability is of great significance for reducing system construction costs and increasing the photovoltaic penetration rate.
[0003] Existing rooftop photovoltaic (PV) installation mechanisms mainly consist of aluminum alloy guide rails, purlin connectors, and module clamping blocks. The guide rails are bolted to the pre-embedded base on the roof, and the PV panels are locked to the guide rails by edge clamping blocks. Wind-resistant designs rely on adding counterweights or mechanical anchoring that penetrates the roof; some systems use clamps to hold the roof ridge. The technical principle is to achieve physical fixation of the modules to the roof through rigid connections, with the load evenly transferred to the roof's load-bearing structure via the guide rails; however, the overall system lacks dynamic adjustment capabilities.
[0004] The most prominent drawback of existing installation mechanisms is that the modules and brackets are fixedly connected, meaning that if a single photovoltaic panel is damaged or malfunctions, the entire row of adjacent modules must be disassembled for replacement. For example, when a module exhibits a hot spot effect, maintenance personnel must sequentially remove the pressure blocks and loosen the guide rail bolts, an operation that requires working at height and takes more than 30 minutes. This structural defect significantly increases maintenance risks and system downtime, hindering the operational economics of photovoltaic systems. Utility Model Content

[0012] Furthermore, spring one and spring two are attached to the outer wall of the pull rod.
[0013] Furthermore, a base plate is attached to the outer wall of the fixing plate.
[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: In this invention, to prevent the problem of difficult disassembly and maintenance caused by bolt fixing in traditional photovoltaic installations, an innovative spring pre-tensioning quick-release mechanism is adopted. The mechanism uses a pull rod linkage double spring system to drive the ball locking, and the medium pressure block is quickly released through a single pull action, so that the photovoltaic panel can be easily disassembled without stopping the machine, thus improving maintenance efficiency.
[0015] In this invention, to prevent the problem of low light-gathering efficiency caused by the difficulty in adjusting the angle of complex roofs, a threaded rod adjustment mechanism is used in conjunction with a slider-linkage transmission system. The displacement of the pulley within the track is controlled by rotating the operating rod to achieve the angle adjustment of the photovoltaic panel, ensuring the optimal light reception angle to adapt to different roof slopes.
