Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic panel fixing technology, and in particular to a device for fixing a photovoltaic panel to a cable. Background Technology

[0002] During the installation of photovoltaic panels, cables are typically pre-installed in the air, and then the photovoltaic panels are sequentially placed on the cables, ensuring a stable connection between the panels and the cables. This achieves a stable installation of the photovoltaic panels.

[0003] In existing technologies, such as Figure 1 As shown, the photovoltaic panel 10 typically includes a solar power generation panel 101 and a support frame 102 arranged along the solar power generation panel 101. In order to stably mount the photovoltaic panel 10 on the cable, a "U"-shaped member is provided on the cable, and a through hole is opened in the support frame 102 so that the "U"-shaped member passes through the through hole, and then it is fixed with a nut.

[0004] While this method can secure the photovoltaic panel 10, the narrow operating space is due to the fact that the screwing points are located on the photovoltaic panel 10. Furthermore, this setup often requires the coordination of multiple "U"-shaped components and nuts, making construction cumbersome.

[0005] Furthermore, during the rotation of the nut, the force exerted by the nut is transmitted to the "U"-shaped component, causing the "U"-shaped component to move, which is not conducive to tightening the nut. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a device for fixing photovoltaic panels to cables. To achieve the above objective, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: A device for securing a photovoltaic panel to a cable, the photovoltaic panel comprising a solar panel and a support frame disposed along the solar panel. The device includes a connecting mechanism that is fixed relative to the support frame, and a locking mechanism that is mounted on the connecting mechanism and fixed relative to it. The locking mechanism includes a locking component that is selectively fitted onto the cable, and a locking component for fixing the locking component to the cable.

[0007] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes a first locking portion and a second locking portion disposed opposite to the first locking portion, the first locking portion and the second locking portion together forming a cavity for accommodating the cable.

[0008] Furthermore, the first locking part and the second locking part are rotatably connected together, so that when the first locking part and the second locking part move toward each other, the radial distance of the cavity becomes smaller.

[0009] Furthermore, the first locking portion includes a first snap-fit ​​member that abuts against the cable in a selected manner, and a first fastener disposed on the first snap-fit ​​member and extending outward.

[0010] Furthermore, the second locking part includes a second latching member that abuts against the cable in a selected manner, and a second fixing member disposed on the second latching member and extending outward. Both the first latching member and the second latching member are configured with an arc-shaped structure and their ends are hinged together.

[0011] Furthermore, both the first and second fixing members are configured as plate-like structures, and corresponding fixing holes are provided on the first and second fixing members, the fixing holes being configured to allow the receiving of locking components.

[0012] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes a fixing rod passing through a fixing hole, a limiting cap located at one end of the fixing rod for abutting against the first fixing member, and an engaging member located at the other end of the fixing rod for selectively abutting against the second fixing member, the engaging member being threadedly connected to the fixing rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the cross-section of the limiting cap is polygonal, and the first fixing member is also provided with a limiting hole for accommodating the limiting cap and engaging with it. The limiting hole is configured to be coaxial with the fixing hole.

[0014] Furthermore, flexible portions are provided on the radially inner sides of the first and second snap-fit ​​members, the flexible portions being configured to allow the pull cables to fit together.

[0015] Furthermore, the connecting mechanism includes a first connecting portion for being fixed relative to the support frame, and a second connecting portion disposed on the first connecting portion for being fixed relative to the first snap-fit ​​member. The curvature of the radially inner side of the second connecting portion is configured to be equivalent to that of the first snap-fit ​​member, so that the second connecting portion and the first snap-fit ​​member can fit together, thereby increasing the contact area between them.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model includes a connecting mechanism fixed to a support frame and a locking mechanism mounted on and fixed to the connecting mechanism. The locking mechanism includes a locking component selectively fitted onto the cable and a tightening component for fixing the locking component to the cable. This configuration increases the relative distance between the cable and the photovoltaic panel, facilitating operation by construction personnel. Furthermore, the tightening component secures the locking component to the cable, further simplifying operation and construction.

[0017] 2. This utility model also includes a polygonal limiting cap and a limiting hole that matches the limiting cap. This allows the limiting cap and the limiting hole to engage with each other, preventing the fixing rod from rotating along the fixing hole during stress. This facilitates the fixing of the locking assembly onto the locking assembly, ensuring the locking assembly is stably mounted on the cable. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following detailed description of a device for fixing a photovoltaic panel to a cable is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the photovoltaic panel 10 typically includes a solar power generation panel 101 and a support frame 102 arranged along the solar power generation panel 101. It should be noted that the structure of the photovoltaic panel 10 and the connection relationship between the solar power generation panel 101 and the support frame 102 are well known to those skilled in the art.

[0023] Figure 2 The schematic diagram illustrates the overall structure of the device for fixing a photovoltaic panel to a cable according to the present invention. Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, the device 100 for fixing the photovoltaic panel to the cable includes a connecting mechanism 1 fixed to the support frame 102 and a locking mechanism 2 disposed on the connecting mechanism 1 and fixed to the connecting mechanism 1.

[0024] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the locking mechanism 2 includes a locking component 21 selectively fitted onto the cable, and a locking component 22 for fixing the locking component 21 to the cable. In this way, the photovoltaic panel 10, the connecting mechanism 1, and the locking mechanism 2 can be relatively fixed together, and the locking mechanism 2 is relatively fixed to the cable. This completes the arrangement of the photovoltaic panel 10. It should be noted that the structure, connection relationships, and positional relationships of the cable are well known to those skilled in the art. Therefore, they will not be described in detail here.

[0025] In this configuration, when the photovoltaic panel 10 needs to be fixed to the cable using the device 100, firstly, the photovoltaic panel 10, the connecting mechanism 1, and the locking assembly 21 are fixed together. Simultaneously, the locking assembly 21 is placed on the cable. Then, a force is applied to the locking assembly 22, thereby fixing the locking assembly 21 and the cable together. This achieves the operation of fixing the photovoltaic panel 10 to the cable.

[0026] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the locking assembly 21 includes a first locking part 211 and a second locking part 212 disposed opposite to the first locking part 211. The first locking part 211 and the second locking part 212 are used to jointly form a cavity 213 for accommodating the cable.

[0027] At the same time, such as Figure 2As shown, the locking assembly 22 is configured to allow connection with the first locking part 211 and the second locking part 212, and to make the radial distance of the cavity 213 continuously decrease under the action of the locking assembly 22, so that the first locking part 211 and the second locking part 212 can abut against each other with the cable and form a relatively fixed connection.

[0028] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first locking part 211 and the second locking part 212 are rotatably connected together. In this way, when the first locking part 211 and the second locking part 212 move toward each other, the radial distance of the cavity 213 decreases until the first locking part 211, the second locking part 212 and the cable abut against each other and form a relatively fixed position.

[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first locking part 211 includes a first latching member 2111 that abuts against the cable in a selected manner, and a first fixing member 2112 disposed on the first latching member 2111 and extending outward. Meanwhile, the second locking part 212 includes a second latching member 2121 that abuts against the cable in a selected manner, and a second fixing member 2122 disposed on the second latching member 2121 and extending outward.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, both the first latching member 2111 and the second latching member 2121 are configured with an arc-shaped structure. In this way, the first latching member 2111 and the second latching member 2121 together form the cavity 213. Furthermore, the ends of the first latching member 2111 and the second latching member 2121 are connected together by a hinge. This configuration allows the radial distance of the cavity 213 to decrease when the first latching member 2111 and the second latching member 2121 move towards each other.

[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, both the first fixing member 2112 and the second fixing member 2122 are configured as plate-like structures. Simultaneously, the first fixing member 2112 and the second fixing member 2122 are provided with corresponding fixing holes 214. The fixing holes 214 are configured to allow the receiving of the locking assembly 22. The locking assembly 22 is configured to allow the first fixing member 2112 and the second fixing member 2122 to move towards each other, and to fix the first fixing member 2112 and the second fixing member 2122 together in their positions.

[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 4As shown, the locking assembly 22 includes a fixing rod 221, which is selectively inserted into the fixing hole 214. A limit cap 222 is also provided at one end of the fixing rod 221, which is configured to allow it to abut against the first fixing member 2112 to restrict the movement of the fixing rod 221.

[0033] At the same time, such as Figure 4 As shown, a biting member 223 is also provided at the other end of the fixing rod 221. The biting member 223 is configured to abut against the second fixing member 2122 in a selective manner, so that the fixing rod 221 is stably set in the fixing hole 214.

[0034] In this embodiment, the engaging member 223 is configured to be threadedly connected to the fixing rod 221. In this way, the engaging member 223 can abut against the second fixing member 2122 during rotation along the fixing rod 221, thereby fixing the first fixing member 2112 and the second fixing member 2122 together and stably fixing them to the cable.

[0035] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cross-section of the limiting cap 222 is polygonal. Meanwhile, the first fixing member 2112 is also provided with a limiting hole 215 that accommodates the limiting cap 222 and engages with it.

[0036] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the limiting hole 215 is configured to be coaxial with the fixing hole 214. Specifically, the limiting hole 215 and the fixing hole 214 together form a "T"-shaped structure, and the limiting cap 222 and the fixing rod 221 are also configured to form a "T"-shaped structure, so that the limiting hole 215 and the fixing hole 214 can respectively accommodate the limiting cap 222 and the fixing rod 221, and make them abut against each other.

[0037] In this way, the limiting cap 222 and the limiting hole 215 can engage with each other, thereby limiting the movement of the fixing rod 221. This prevents the fixing rod 221 from moving along with the engaging member 223 as it rotates. This configuration also facilitates the installation of the locking assembly 22.

[0038] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, a flexible part 3 is also provided on the radial inner side of the first fastener 2111 and the second fastener 2121. In this way, when the first fastener 2111 and the second fastener 2121 apply force to the cable, the flexible part 3 can elastically deform along the cable and fit together with the cable.

[0039] This increases the contact area between the locking assembly 21 and the cable, thereby increasing the friction between them and allowing the locking assembly 21 to be further fixed to the cable. Furthermore, this configuration also provides protection for the cable.

[0040] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the connecting mechanism 1 includes a first connecting portion 11 for being fixed relative to the support frame 102, and a second connecting portion 12 disposed on the first connecting portion 11 for being fixed relative to the first snap-fit ​​member 2111. The curvature of the radially inward side of the second connecting portion 12 is configured to be equivalent to that of the first snap-fit ​​member 2111. In this way, the second connecting portion 12 and the first snap-fit ​​member 2111 can fit together, thereby increasing the contact area between them. As a result, the connecting mechanism 1 and the locking assembly 21 can be further stably connected together.

[0041] The operation of the device 100 for fixing a photovoltaic panel to a cable according to this utility model is as follows.

[0042] First, the connecting mechanism 1 is positioned between the first latching member 2111 and the support frame 102, and the connecting mechanism 1, the first latching member 2111, and the support frame 102 are fixed together. Simultaneously, the first latching member 2111 and the second latching member 2121 are fastened to the cable, with the cable positioned within the cavity 213. Furthermore, the locking assembly 22 is inserted into the fixing hole 214, with the limiting cap 222 and the limiting hole 215 abutting against each other, and the fixing rod 221 positioned within the fixing hole 214. Then, the engaging member 223 is screwed onto the fixing rod 221. This completes the arrangement of the device 100.

[0043] At this time, a force is applied to the engaging member 223, causing it to rotate along the fixing rod 221. During this process, the engaging member 223 continues to move along the fixing rod 221, driving the second fixing member 2122 towards the first fixing member 2112 until the second fixing member 2122 and the first fixing member 2112 abut against each other, thus fixing the engaging member 223 to the second fixing member 2122. During this process, the flexible part 3 deforms along the cable until it fits against the cable. Thus, the locking mechanism 2 and the cable are relatively fixed together. In this way, the photovoltaic panel 10 is stably mounted on the cable.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
