Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic system technology, specifically to a photovoltaic flexible support and photovoltaic panel assembly connection device. Background Technology

[0002] A flexible photovoltaic (PV) support system is a system that uses flexible materials such as steel strands and high-strength fiber ropes as the main load-bearing components, combined with specific connection and fixing devices, to install and fix PV panels at certain angles and spacings. It can adapt to different terrains and environmental conditions, providing stable support for PV panels.

[0003] In flexible photovoltaic (PV) support systems, the traditional connection between PV panels and steel cables typically uses metal clamps and bolts for fastening. This requires wrenches, torque wrenches, and multiple people working together on-site. Due to limited working space in some areas, bolts are prone to falling off and misalignment is difficult, resulting in low installation efficiency. Furthermore, relying on bolt fixation means that if PV panels in certain locations fail during long-term use, subsequent maintenance requires disassembling and reassembling all bolts, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inconvenient.

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0017] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0018] The embodiment provides a photovoltaic flexible support and photovoltaic panel module connection device, as shown in the attached figure. Figures 1 to 5As shown, the system includes an intermediate body 1, with photovoltaic panel clips 2 fixedly connected to both sides of the intermediate body 1. A steel cable holder 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the intermediate body 1, and a cover 4 is clipped to the bottom of the steel cable holder 3. The steel cable 7 is clamped between the steel cable holder 3 and the cover 4. The intermediate body 1 connects the photovoltaic panel clips 2 and the steel cable holder 3, and the cover 4 cooperates with the steel cable holder 3 to clamp and fix the steel cable 7. The photovoltaic panel is installed in the photovoltaic panel clip 2. The photovoltaic panel clip 2 has a fixing hole 21 for connecting the photovoltaic panel. The photovoltaic panel can be fixed to the photovoltaic panel clip 2 using bolts or other connectors through the fixing hole 21, thus realizing the connection between the photovoltaic panel module and the steel cable 7.

[0019] In the embodiments, as shown in the appendix Figure 2 and 4 As shown, a docking groove 31 is provided on the cable holder 3, and a locking block 41 is fixedly connected to the cover 4. The locking block 41 is movably engaged in the docking groove 31. Through the engagement of the locking block 41 with the docking groove 31, the cover 4 and the cable holder 3 are initially positioned and connected. The contact surfaces of the cable holder 3 and the cover 4 are respectively provided with cable grooves 9 that match the cable 7, and the cable 7 is placed in the cable grooves 9. There are two docking grooves 31 and two locking blocks 41, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the corresponding cable grooves 9. Each locking block 41 is provided with a locking hole 42. In order to ensure that the cover 4 and the cable holder 3 can be securely connected, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a locking unit 5 for locking the locking block 41 is provided on the cable holder 3. The locking unit 5 includes a bidirectional screw 54 rotatably connected inside the cable holder 3 and a slider 51 threadedly connected to two sections of threads in different directions on the bidirectional screw 54. Each slider 51 is provided with a locking rod 52. The two sliders 51 drive the two locking rods 52 to slide in the two mating grooves 31 areas respectively. After the locking block 41 is engaged with the corresponding mating groove 31, the locking rod 52 moves and inserts into the locking hole 42 of the corresponding locking block 41. When the locking block 41 is engaged in the mating groove 31, the slider 51 is slid to insert the locking rod 52 into the locking hole 42, thereby locking the locking block 41 and preventing the cover 4 from separating from the cable holder 3.

[0020] In the embodiments, such as Figure 5As shown, a first groove 53 corresponding to the slider 51 is provided inside the cable holder 3. The first groove 53 provides guidance and limitation for the sliding of the slider 51, ensuring the stability of the slider 51's sliding. A bidirectional screw 54 is rotatably connected inside the cable holder 3. The bidirectional screw 54 is threadedly connected to the slider 51. By rotating the bidirectional screw 54, since the bidirectional screw 54 is threadedly connected to the slider 51 and the slider 51's sliding is restricted in the first groove 53, the slider 51 will move linearly along the axial direction of the bidirectional screw 54, thereby realizing the insertion and removal operation of the locking rod 52. The locking rod 52 is fixedly installed below the slider 51 by a connecting block 57. A second groove 55 is provided near each docking slot 31 in the cable holder 3. The upper part of the second groove 55 communicates with the first groove 53, and the side of the second groove 55 communicates with the docking slot 31. When the slider 51 slides along the first groove 53, the connecting block 57 drives the locking rod 52 to slide in the second groove 55. To improve ease of operation, such as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the end of the bidirectional screw 54 extends outward through the steel cable holder 3 and is fixedly connected to a handle 56. By providing the handle 56, it is convenient for the operator to rotate the bidirectional screw 54.

[0021] The embodiment provides a photovoltaic flexible support and photovoltaic panel module connection device, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a reinforcing component 6 is provided at the bottom of the cover 4. The reinforcing component 6 includes a threaded sleeve 61 fixedly connected to the cover 4 and a fixing bolt 62 threadedly connected inside the threaded sleeve 61. The fixing bolt 62 is attached to the steel cable 7. By rotating the fixing bolt 62, the fixing bolt 62 moves inside the threaded sleeve 61 and presses the steel cable 7. When it is necessary to reinforce the photovoltaic panel module, the connection stability between the cover 4 and the steel cable 7 is further enhanced.

[0022] The installation process of the photovoltaic flexible support and photovoltaic panel module connection device in this utility model is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the photovoltaic panel assembly 8 is installed on the photovoltaic panel clip 2, and the photovoltaic panel assembly is attached to the photovoltaic panel clip 2 by passing the fixing bolt through the fixing hole 21. Then, the bottom of the steel cable holder 3 is clipped onto the steel cable 7. The clip 41 on the cover 4 is clipped into the docking groove 31 of the steel cable holder 3. The handle 56 is turned to drive the bidirectional screw 54 to rotate, so that the slider 51 slides. The locking rod 52 is inserted into the locking hole 42 of the clip 41 to lock the cover 4 and the steel cable holder 3. When it is necessary to reinforce the photovoltaic panel assembly, the fixing bolt 62 is turned to press the fixing bolt 62 against the steel cable 7, thus completing the installation of the entire connection device.

[0023] This utility model, through the design of the intermediate body 1, photovoltaic panel clip 2, steel cable clip 3, cover 4, locking unit 5 and other structures, makes the entire connection device easy to install on site. When connecting the photovoltaic panel to the steel cable 7, there is no need to carry a wrench. The photovoltaic panel is easy to connect on the flexible bracket, the locking is reliable, saving on-site installation time, and it is also convenient to quickly disassemble and maintain the photovoltaic panel later.
