[0002] With the diversification of photovoltaic applications, the traditional integrated frame structure design of photovoltaic modules can no longer meet the needs of all application scenarios. For the scenario-based application of photovoltaic fences, the spacing design of different fence posts varies, requiring the use of different photovoltaic modules. How to better match the existing wood-plastic composite fence designs in the market, improving the compatibility between photovoltaic modules and wood-plastic composite fences, and making installation more convenient for users, is a problem that designers need to solve. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a connection structure and a photovoltaic fence to solve the shortcomings of existing technologies where different fence post designs vary and the connection using traditional frame structures is inconvenient.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application employs the following technical solution: Firstly, this application discloses a connection structure, which includes... A first connector, wherein the first connector is provided with a connecting portion; The second connector has a plurality of receiving parts, which are arranged parallel to each other along the length of the second connector.

Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of the column in an embodiment of this application; Wherein: 1. First connector; 2. Second connector; 11. First mounting groove; 12. Limiting part; 13. First positioning part; 21. Connecting groove; 3. Second mounting groove; 14. Second positioning part; 22. Connecting port. Detailed Implementation

[0015] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit this application or its application or use. Example 1

[0016] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses a connection structure, which includes a first connector 1 and a second connector 2 arranged opposite to each other. The first connector 1 is provided with a connecting part; the second connector 2 is provided with a plurality of receiving parts, which are arranged parallel to each other along the length direction of the second connector 2. Here, the first connector 1 is a metal frame used to fix the photovoltaic panel body in actual use, and the second connector 2 can be used as a card slot and is also made of metal.

[0017] The connecting part is configured to detachably connect to the receiving part, and the connecting part and the receiving part are slidably installed.

[0018] In use, the first connector 1 is fixedly installed on both sides of the photovoltaic panel to ensure that the orientation of the connector is consistent. After selecting the appropriate receiving part according to the distance between adjacent columns, the installation of the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 is completed to meet the overall installation size of the photovoltaic panel. Finally, the photovoltaic panel is installed between adjacent columns. If the columns are high, multiple photovoltaic panels usually need to be installed. During the design, the designers design the distance between adjacent receiving parts to be equal. When the structure moves in other installation equipment, the distance between adjacent receiving parts can be designed to be gradually changed according to the adjustment range requirements.

[0019] In some embodiments, the connection structure is designed as follows: In this embodiment, a first positioning element 13 is provided on the first connector 1, and a connecting groove 21 is provided on the second connector 2. During installation, the connecting groove 21 moves along the length of the first positioning element 13 to complete the installation. The first positioning element 13 has a certain deformation. After installation, the first positioning element 13 forms a pressing contact in the connecting groove 21. Typically, the first positioning element 13 is designed as a spherical protrusion, and the connecting groove 21 is designed as an arc-shaped long groove. The mounting surfaces of the first connector 1 on both sides of the first positioning element 13 can play a limiting role when the connecting groove 21 and the first positioning element 13 are connected.

[0020] In this embodiment, both the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are provided with weight-reducing holes to reduce the weight of the photovoltaic panel while meeting the installation strength requirements. Normally, the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are installed vertically to avoid creating an unsightly enclosure with the column installation.

[0021] To facilitate the installation of the photovoltaic panel body, a first mounting groove 11 is provided on the first connector 1 during the design. In actual use, the two opposite first mounting grooves 11 meet the requirements for edge installation of the photovoltaic panel body. The structural design of the first connector 1 used here can be regarded as a type of profile. A limiting part 12 is integrally formed at the groove opening of the first mounting groove 11. In this embodiment, the limiting part 12 is an arc-shaped barb. After the photovoltaic panel body is installed, the barb has the function of preventing it from moving backward.

[0022] In another embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 2As shown, this embodiment improves the connecting part and the receiving part. The connecting part includes a second positioning member 14, and the receiving part includes a connecting port 22. The second positioning member 14 and the connecting port 22 are slidably installed so that the second positioning member 14 and the connecting port 22 match and are fixed. Here, the second positioning member 14 is a long protrusion with a T-shaped cross section, and the connecting port 22 is a long slot with a T-shaped cross section. The installation method is the same as that in the previous embodiment. After the second positioning member 14 and the connecting port 22 are slidably installed, the ends of the second positioning member 14 and the connecting port 22 restrain each other, similar to the matching effect of a mortise and tenon structure. Example 2

[0023] This embodiment discloses a photovoltaic fence, which can be used as a common barrier for isolation and protection, and can also generate electricity using sunlight; the photovoltaic fence also includes a post, and three second mounting slots 3 are provided on the post. First connectors 1 are fixed to opposite sides of the photovoltaic panel body, and second connectors 2 are fixed to the connecting parts of the first connectors 1. Multiple columns are vertically fixed on the base surface, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 As shown, photovoltaic panels are installed between two adjacent columns. The second connectors 2 and the first connectors 1 on both sides of the photovoltaic panel are placed in adjacent second mounting slots 3. If there is a discrepancy between the installation spacing between the columns and the installation dimensions of the photovoltaic panel, the second connector 2 is installed at a suitable location to quickly adjust the installation dimensions and achieve a fast and stable matching installation. It should be noted that the adjustment range described above is relatively small because the basic positioning between the columns is clear during actual installation.

[0024] Photovoltaic panels can be quickly and easily integrated with traditional wood-plastic composite fence designs, and have a certain length adjustment range to better match existing wood-plastic composite fence designs on the market; this solution is convenient and feasible in practice and easy to install independently.
