Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic installation technology, specifically to an auxiliary positioning tool for photovoltaic installation. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic installation auxiliary positioning tools are a general term for devices or tooling specifically designed to help construction workers quickly, accurately, and efficiently determine the installation positions of photovoltaic modules, brackets, and other components when installing solar photovoltaic panels. With the continuous production of photovoltaic installations, various photovoltaic installation tools have emerged, such as a photovoltaic installation auxiliary positioning tool.

[0003] Currently, photovoltaic (PV) installation positioning typically involves clamping the PV panels onto a mounting frame using clamps, bolts, and threaded holes. While this method is effective, if the modules are tightly packed without any gaps, the modules will exert significant tensile stress on the guide rails and pressure blocks when temperatures drop (due to contraction), potentially causing damage to the PV panels due to compression. Therefore, careful attention must be paid to lateral spacing during installation. Existing technology generally uses an "I" or "U" shaped clamp with a width precisely matching the designed module spacing (e.g., 20mm) to allow for pre-planning. However, testing each PV panel with the clamp is cumbersome, and the clamp cannot completely guarantee parallelism between PV panels. Therefore, a photovoltaic installation auxiliary positioning tool is proposed that can quickly allow for pre-planning, has high installation efficiency, and ensures parallelism between PV panels. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an auxiliary positioning tool for photovoltaic installation. It has the advantages of enabling rapid spacing reservation, high installation efficiency, and ensuring the parallelism between photovoltaic panels. It solves the problem that current photovoltaic installations on the market require attention to lateral spacing during installation. Existing technologies generally use an "I" or "U" shaped clamp, the width of which is exactly the design requirement for component spacing, to reserve the spacing. However, it is cumbersome to test the clamp between each photovoltaic panel, and the clamp cannot completely guarantee the parallelism between two photovoltaic panels.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives of quickly reserving spacing, high installation efficiency, and ensuring parallelism between photovoltaic panels, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an auxiliary positioning tool for photovoltaic installation, comprising a support frame one and a support frame two, wherein the support frame one and the support frame two are each provided with four clamping blocks on their exterior, and the support frame one is provided with a locking mechanism on its exterior. The locking mechanism includes a fixed female block, a fixed male block, a hook plate, a movable column, an inclined plate, a spring, a movable hole, and a handle. The fixed female block is welded to the right side of the first support frame, the fixed male block is welded to the left side of the second support frame, the hook plate is welded to the left side of the fixed male block, the movable column is provided inside the fixed female block, the inclined plate is fixedly connected to the back of the movable column, the spring is provided outside the movable column, the movable hole is opened on the outside of the fixed female block, and the handle is fixedly connected to the front of the movable column.

[0006] Furthermore, both support frame one and support frame two have heat dissipation grooves inside.

[0007] Furthermore, a limiting strip is welded to the back of the hook plate, the limiting strip is T-shaped, and a T-shaped hole is opened inside the fixing block.

[0008] Furthermore, a groove is provided on the right side of the fixing female block, and the groove is adapted to the fixing male block.

[0009] Furthermore, the fixed mother block has an internal movable groove that is adapted to the hook plate.

[0010] Furthermore, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inclined plate, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the movable column.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects: This auxiliary positioning tool for photovoltaic installation, through the setting of a locking mechanism, is installed on the support frame by multiple clamps and bolts when the photovoltaic panel needs to be positioned. Then, by placing support frame one and support frame two parallel to each other, the hook plate welded to the outside of the fixing block is inserted into the movable groove. As the spring is compressed, the movable column retracts and then resets, and the hook plate is locked with the inclined plate. Because the fixing male and female blocks are relatively long, they can be spaced more than 20 mm apart after the photovoltaic panels are installed. After locking, the two photovoltaic panels are parallel. This locking mechanism can quickly reserve the gap, has high installation efficiency, and ensures the parallelism between the photovoltaic panels. Attached Figure Description

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0015] Please see Figure 1-4 The photovoltaic installation auxiliary positioning tool in this embodiment includes a support frame 1 and a support frame 2. Both the support frame 1 and the support frame 2 are provided with four clamping blocks 3 on their exteriors, and the support frame 1 is provided with a locking mechanism 4 on its exterior. The locking mechanism 4 includes a fixed female block 401, a fixed male block 402, a hook plate 403, a movable column 404, an inclined plate 405, a spring 406, a movable hole 407, and a handle 408. The fixed female block 401 is welded to the right side of the support frame 1, and the fixed male block 402 is welded to the left side of the support frame 2. The hook plate 403 is welded to the left side of the fixed male block 402. The movable column 404 is provided inside the fixed female block 401. The inclined plate 405 is fixedly connected to the back of the movable column 404. The spring 406 is provided outside the movable column 404. The movable hole 407 is opened on the outside of the fixed female block 401. The handle 408 is fixedly connected to the front of the movable column 404.

[0016] In the implementation of the case, both support frame 1 and support frame 2 have heat dissipation grooves 5 inside. The heat dissipation grooves 5 can remove excess material and make the support frame lighter without affecting the structural strength. This reduces the labor intensity of the operators and improves the convenience of tool operation, which is especially important when working at height.

[0017] In the implementation of the case, a limiting strip 6 is welded to the back of the hook plate 403. The limiting strip 6 is T-shaped, and a T-shaped hole is opened inside the fixing block 401. The hook plate 403 is simply inserted into the movable slot 8. After connection, it may allow slight forward or backward or left and right movement between the support frame 1 and the support frame 2. The T-shaped limiting strip 6 and the matching T-shaped hole form a three-dimensional constraint, which completely eliminates the translational degrees of freedom in all directions.

[0018] In the implementation of the case, a groove 7 is provided on the right side of the fixed female block 401. The groove 7 is adapted to the fixed male block 402. The groove 7 acts as a "guide groove". During the connection operation, the worker can first put the fixed male block 402 into the groove 7. This provides an initial, rough positioning, so that the subsequent hook plate 403 can be more accurately and easily aligned and inserted into the movable groove 8.

[0019] In the implementation of the case, the fixed mother block 401 has an internal movable groove 8, which is adapted to the hook plate 403. The movable groove 8 is the basic structure for the locking mechanism 4 to work, and it provides the necessary space and path for the insertion and hooking of the hook plate 403.

[0020] In the case implementation, one end of the spring 406 is fixedly connected to the inclined plate 405, and the other end of the spring 406 is fixedly connected to the movable column 404. The stable installation of the spring 406 ensures that the locking force is always consistent, so that the tool's automatic locking function with a "click" sound remains reliable after multiple uses, thus improving the product's durability and service life.

[0021] When implementing this procedure, please follow these steps: 1) When it is necessary to position the photovoltaic panels, they are first installed on the support frame using multiple clamps 3 and bolts; 2) Then, place support frame 1 and support frame 2 in parallel; 3) The hook plate 403 welded to the outside of the fixed block 402 is then inserted into the movable slot 8. When the spring 406 is compressed, the movable column 404 is withdrawn and then reset, and the hook plate 403 is locked with the inclined plate 405. 4) Finally, the male fixing block 402 and the female fixing block 401 are relatively long, so they can be spaced more than 20 millimeters apart after the photovoltaic panels are installed, and after locking, the two photovoltaic panels are made parallel.

[0022] In summary, this auxiliary positioning tool for photovoltaic installation, by setting a locking mechanism 4, allows for positioning of photovoltaic panels. Multiple clamps 3 and bolts are installed on the support frame. Support frame 1 and support frame 2 are placed parallel to each other. The hook plate 403, welded to the outside of the fixing block 402, is inserted into the movable slot 8. As the spring 406 compresses, the movable column 404 retracts and then resets. The hook plate 403 engages with the inclined plate 405. Because the fixing block 402 and fixing female block 401 are relatively long, they can be spaced more than 20 millimeters apart after photovoltaic panel installation. Locking ensures the two photovoltaic panels are parallel. This locking mechanism 4 enables rapid pre-reservation of spacing, resulting in high installation efficiency and ensuring the parallelism between photovoltaic panels.

[0023] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.
