[0002] Currently, rooftop photovoltaic (PV) brackets are mostly used on flat or pitched roofs. However, traditional PV brackets have limitations when it comes to installing PV equipment on saddle-shaped roofs. Saddle-shaped roofs lack a flat platform, making the fixing of PV brackets a problem. Direct drilling for fixing can easily lead to leaks, and the thinness of the saddle-shaped roof results in poor installation stability and low strength for the PV brackets.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new type of saddle-plate photovoltaic roof to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a saddle-shaped photovoltaic roof that can stably fix the photovoltaic bracket to the saddle-shaped board while effectively solving the problem of water leakage.

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

[0006] The saddle-shaped photovoltaic roof includes a saddle-shaped roof, a photovoltaic bracket mounted on the saddle-shaped roof, and photovoltaic panels mounted on the photovoltaic bracket. The photovoltaic bracket includes columns, connectors, and purlins. Two adjacent columns are respectively mounted on two adjacent saddle-shaped roofs. The purlins are mounted on the columns, and the photovoltaic panels are mounted on the purlins. The connectors include a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate that are perpendicular to each other. The first connecting plate is bolted to the column, and the second connecting plate is connected to the saddle-shaped roof using chemical anchors, with the connection points filled with structural adhesive.

The cross-section of the saddle-shaped panel is an upward-opening arc shape, and the cross-section of the shielding component is an downward-opening arc shape.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, at least part of the two ends of two adjacent saddle plates are located between the two ends of the shielding member.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, the saddle-shaped photovoltaic roof has a ridge, the photovoltaic support also includes a crossbeam, the crossbeam is set on the column, the purlin is set on the crossbeam, the column and the crossbeam are connected by the connector, the first connecting plate is connected to the column by bolts, and the second connecting plate is connected to the crossbeam by bolts.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, the photovoltaic bracket also includes a diagonal brace, which connects the column and the beam, and the column, the beam and the diagonal brace form a triangular structure.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the diagonal brace is connected to the column and the beam respectively through the connector, and the two ends of the diagonal brace are connected to the first connecting plates of the two connectors respectively, and the second connecting plates of the two connectors are connected to the column and the beam respectively.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, the photovoltaic bracket further includes a pressure block, which installs the photovoltaic panel onto the purlin. The pressure block includes a base and a pressing part, the base being fixedly connected to the purlin, and the pressing part pressing against the photovoltaic panel.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 10 As shown, this embodiment discloses a saddle-shaped photovoltaic roof, including a saddle-shaped roof 1, a photovoltaic support 2, and a photovoltaic panel 3. The photovoltaic support 2 is mounted on the saddle-shaped roof 1, and the photovoltaic panel 3 is mounted on the photovoltaic support 2. The photovoltaic support 2 includes columns 21, connectors 22, and purlins 23. Two adjacent columns 21 are respectively mounted on two adjacent saddle-shaped roofs 1, the purlins 23 are mounted on the columns 21, and the photovoltaic panel 3 is mounted on the purlins 23.

[0031] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the connector 22 includes a first connecting plate 221 and a second connecting plate 222 that are perpendicular to each other. The first connecting plate 221 is connected to the column 21 by bolts 41, and the second connecting plate 222 is connected to the saddle plate 1 by chemical anchors 42. Further, the two first connecting plates 221 extend perpendicularly from both ends of the second connecting plate 222 in the same direction, and the first connecting plates 221 are approximately triangular. With this arrangement, depending on the installation position of the column 21 on the saddle plate 1, i.e., the angle between the column 21 and the saddle plate 1, the connector 22 can easily fix the column 21 to the saddle plate 1 at different angles.

[0032] Further, please refer to Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the connection between the second connecting plate 222 and the saddle plate 1, which is connected by chemical anchors 42, is filled with structural adhesive 43. Specifically, the portion of the chemical anchor 42 located on one side of the second connecting plate 222 can be completely filled and covered with structural adhesive 43. This arrangement enhances the connection strength between the connector 22 and the saddle plate 1, thereby strengthening the structural strength of the connection between the column 21 and the saddle plate 1. Furthermore, the use of structural adhesive 43 for waterproofing prevents water leakage at the connection.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 As shown, the saddle-shaped photovoltaic roof of this embodiment also includes a shielding member 5, which is disposed at the gap between two adjacent saddle panels 1. The cross-section of the saddle panel 1 is an upward-opening arc shape, and the cross-section of the shielding member 5 is an downward-opening arc shape. This arrangement can effectively prevent the risk of water leakage from the gap between adjacent saddle panels 1. Furthermore, at least part of the two adjacent ends of the two adjacent saddle panels 1 are located between the two ends of the shielding member 5, so as to achieve complete coverage and shielding of the gap between adjacent saddle panels 1 by the shielding member 5.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 As shown, the photovoltaic support 2 also includes a tie rod 24, which connects two adjacent columns 21 to improve the overall structural stability of the photovoltaic support 2. Specifically, in this embodiment, the tie rod 24 is set at an angle, that is, the tie rod 24 is not parallel to the photovoltaic panel 3. With this setting, the photovoltaic panel 3, the tie rod 24 and the two adjacent columns 21 form a trapezoidal structure, which has higher stability than a rectangular structure.

[0035] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the saddle-shaped photovoltaic roof has a ridge, and the photovoltaic support 2 also includes a crossbeam 25. The crossbeam 25 is mounted on the column 21, and purlins 23 are mounted on the crossbeam 25. The included angle formed by the crossbeams 25 on both sides of the ridge is equal to the included angle of the ridge. The column 21 and the crossbeam 25 are connected by connectors 22, wherein the first connecting plate 221 is connected to the column 21 by bolts 41, and the second connecting plate 222 is connected to the crossbeam 25 by bolts 41. With this configuration, the column 21 and the crossbeam 25 are connected by connectors 22, which is suitable for multi-angle connection and easy adjustment. Moreover, the force exerted by the column 21 on the crossbeam 25 in the vertical direction is dispersed laterally on the crossbeam 25 through the second connecting plate 222, reducing local stress and thus improving the connection strength.

[0036] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, the photovoltaic support 2 also includes a diagonal brace 26, which connects the column 21 and the crossbeam 25. The column 21, crossbeam 25, and diagonal brace 26 form a triangular structure to improve structural stability. Specifically, the diagonal brace 26 is connected to the column 21 and crossbeam 25 via connectors 22. Both ends of the diagonal brace 26 are connected to the first connecting plates 221 of the two connectors 22, and the second connecting plates 222 of the two connectors 22 are connected to the column 21 and crossbeam 25, respectively. This configuration allows for flexible angle adjustment between the diagonal brace 26 and the column 21 and crossbeam 25, while maintaining high connection strength.

[0037] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the photovoltaic bracket 2 in this embodiment also includes a pressure block 27, which is used to install the photovoltaic panel 3 onto the purlin 23. The pressure block 27 includes a base 271 and a pressing part 272, wherein the base 271 is fixedly connected to the purlin 23 by bolts 41, and the pressing part 272 presses the photovoltaic panel 3.

[0038] Please see Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the pressure block 27 further includes a recess 273 and protrusions 274 disposed on both sides opposite the recess 273, with the purlin 23 at least partially located in the recess 273 and at least partially located between the two protrusions 274. This arrangement facilitates the limiting connection between the pressure block 27 and the purlin 23, thereby improving installation efficiency.

[0039] Please see Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the pressure block 27 includes a middle pressure block 27a and a side pressure block 27b. The middle pressure block 27a is provided with two pressure parts 272, which press the photovoltaic panels 3 on both sides. The side pressure block 27b is provided with one pressure part 272, which presses the edge side of the photovoltaic panel 3.

[0040] Please see Figure 6 As shown, the purlin 23 includes a main body 231 and two curved portions 232 disposed at both ends of the main body 231. The two curved portions 232 extend inward from both ends of the main body 231. The main body 231 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam 25 below. A bolt 41 passes from top to bottom through the base 271 of the pressure block 27 and the gap between the two curved portions 232, and is connected to a nut 44. The nut 44 abuts against the end of the curved portion 232, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the pressure block 27 and the purlin 23.

[0041] In summary, compared with existing technologies, the saddle-shaped photovoltaic roof of this utility model has the following advantages: the column 21 and the saddle-shaped panel 1 are connected by a connector 22, which includes a first connecting plate 221 and a second connecting plate 222 that are perpendicular to each other. The column 21 is connected to the first connecting plate 221 by bolts 41, and the saddle-shaped panel 1 is connected to the second connecting plate 222 by chemical anchors 42. This improves the connection stability between the column 21 and the saddle-shaped panel 1 and increases the contact area with the saddle-shaped panel 1, thereby reducing the local stress acting on the saddle-shaped panel 1 and enhancing the structural strength. The joint between the second connecting plate 222 and the saddle-shaped panel 1, connected by chemical anchors 42, is filled with structural adhesive 43, further improving the structural stability and strength, and also providing a waterproof effect.
