Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of photovoltaic tile installation technology, and in particular to an installation structure and a photovoltaic tile system. Background Technology

[0002] Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV, where PV stands for Photovoltaic) is a form of solar power generation. Simply put, it involves installing photovoltaic modules (photovoltaic tiles or photovoltaic panels) on the sun-facing side of a building (such as the roof) to provide electricity.

[0003] As a combination of roofing materials and power generation equipment, the installation stability of photovoltaic tiles directly affects power generation efficiency and building safety. Currently, photovoltaic tiles are fixed to the roof battens / brackets with screws. They need to be removed in batches or by moving adjacent photovoltaic tiles around the perimeter, which results in high maintenance costs and low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an installation structure and photovoltaic tile system to address the problems of high maintenance costs and low efficiency of existing photovoltaic tiles.

[0005] An installation structure, comprising:

[0010] In one embodiment, the mounting body includes a first main body, a second main body, and a third main body. The first main body and the second main body are spaced apart along the second direction. The second main body is connected to the first main body and the second main body at the same end in the first direction. The first main body, the second main body, and the second main body enclose and form the mounting space and the mounting opening.

[0011] In one embodiment, the mounting body further includes a fourth body portion, one end of which is disposed at the end of the third body portion away from the mounting opening in the second direction, and the other end extends longitudinally in a direction away from the third body portion.

[0012] In one embodiment, a mounting hole is provided through the fourth main body.

[0013] In one embodiment, the mounting elastic element includes a spring sheet, the spring sheet including a fixed portion and an elastic portion connected to each other, the fixed portion being fixed to the mounting body, and the elastic portion being configured to move relative to the fixed portion in a first direction under the action of an external force.

[0014] In one embodiment, the mounting structure further includes a spring fastener, and a fixing hole is provided through the fixing part, through which the spring fastener passes and is connected to the mounting body.

[0015] In one embodiment, the spring sheet further includes a connecting portion. Both the connecting portion and the elastic portion include two portions. The ends of the two connecting portions away from the mounting opening in the first direction are respectively disposed at both ends of the fixing portion in the third direction, and each connecting portion is disposed at an obtuse angle to the fixing portion. One end of each of the two elastic portions is disposed at the other end of the connecting portion, and the other ends of the two elastic portions extend away from each other in the third direction, which intersects both the first direction and the second direction.

[0016] In one embodiment, the elastic part includes two parts, one end of each elastic part in the first direction is respectively disposed at both ends of the fixed part in the third direction, and each elastic part is disposed at an obtuse angle to the fixed part, and the third direction intersects both the first direction and the second direction.

[0017] In one embodiment, the spring sheet further includes a connecting portion, one end of which is connected to the fixing portion in a first direction, and the connecting portion is set at an obtuse angle to the connecting portion. One end of the elastic portion is located at the other end of the connecting portion, and the other end of the elastic portion extends longitudinally along a third direction away from the connecting portion. The third direction intersects both the first direction and the second direction.

[0018] In one embodiment, the spring sheet further includes a connecting portion, one end of which is connected to one end of the fixing portion in a third direction, and the other end of the connecting portion is bent toward the other end of the fixing portion and connected to the elastic portion.

[0019] Furthermore, in the third direction, the distance between the elastic part and the fixed part in the first direction gradually increases.

[0020] A photovoltaic tile system includes at least two photovoltaic tiles and at least one mounting structure as described in any of the preceding claims;

[0021] All the photovoltaic tiles are stacked in a staggered manner along the second direction, each photovoltaic tile has a first end and a second end that are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction, and each photovoltaic tile has a hanging part at the first end;

[0022] The installation structure is provided at one end of two adjacent photovoltaic tiles that overlap each other, and the second end of one of the photovoltaic tiles can enter the installation space through the installation opening, and the hanging part of the other photovoltaic tile can enter the hook space through the hook opening.

[0023] In one embodiment, at least one of the photovoltaic tiles is provided with the mounting structure at both ends in the first direction, the second end of the photovoltaic tile can enter the mounting space of one of the mounting structures, and the hanging part of the photovoltaic tile can enter the hook space of the other mounting structure.

[0024] When the mounting part is located in the hook space, during the process of the second end of the photovoltaic tile exiting the installation space through the installation opening, the mounting part abuts against the hook and prevents the photovoltaic tile from moving;

[0025] During the process of the hanging part exiting the hook space through the hook opening, the photovoltaic tile abuts against the installation elastic member, and the installation elastic member accumulates an elastic force to make the photovoltaic tile exit the installation space in the first direction.

[0026] In one embodiment, the photovoltaic tile system further includes an end-mounting component and an end-mounting elastic component. The end-mounting component has an end-mounting space and an end-mounting opening connected to the end-mounting space. The end-mounting opening is located on one side of the end-mounting space in a first direction. The end-mounting elastic component is disposed within the mounting space and is spaced apart from the mounting opening along the first direction. The mounting elastic component is configured to elastically deform along the first direction under the action of an external force.

[0027] Of the two photovoltaic tiles located at the first and last positions in the second direction, the second end of one of the photovoltaic tiles can enter the installation space through the last opening.

[0028] In one embodiment, the photovoltaic tile system further includes a first mounting member having a last space and a last opening communicating with the last space;

[0029] Of the two photovoltaic tiles located at the beginning and end in the second direction, the mounting portion of the other photovoltaic tile can enter the end space through the end opening.

[0030] When the aforementioned installation structure is used to install photovoltaic (PV) tile systems, the installation of elastic components not only secures the PV tiles but also increases their resistance to wind uplift through the elastic force of these components. The limiting measures significantly reduce the risk of swaying and loosening of the PV tiles under long-term wind vibration and seismic forces, resulting in greater safety and stability. Furthermore, the installation and removal of PV tiles require no additional tools; simply pushing the tile separates it from the installation structure, offering advantages such as convenient and efficient single-tile disassembly and lower replacement costs.

[0048] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0049] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0050] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0051] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0052] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0053] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0054] See Figure 1 , Figure 1A schematic diagram of a photovoltaic tile system according to an embodiment of this application is shown. The photovoltaic tile system provided in this embodiment includes at least two photovoltaic tiles 40 and at least one mounting structure. All photovoltaic tiles 40 are stacked in a staggered manner, allowing multiple photovoltaic tiles 40 to be sequentially overlapped and installed along the second direction Y. An mounting structure is provided at the overlapping end of two adjacent photovoltaic tiles 40. The mounting structure is used to connect with the mounting base structure such as the tile strip 50, and simultaneously fixes the overlapping end of the two photovoltaic tiles 40. It should be noted that staggered stacking of all photovoltaic tiles 40 means that in two adjacent photovoltaic tiles 40, one end of one photovoltaic tile 40 overlaps the middle part of another photovoltaic tile 40, and the other end of the first photovoltaic tile 40 can extend beyond the second photovoltaic tile 40; that is, after staggered stacking, all photovoltaic tiles 40 can form a stepped structure.

[0055] Specifically, see Figure 2 The mounting structure includes a mounting body 10, a mounting elastic element 20, and a hook element 30. The mounting body 10 has a mounting space 11 and a mounting opening 12 communicating with the mounting space 11. The mounting opening 12 is located on one side of the mounting space 11 in the first direction X. The mounting elastic element 20 is disposed within the mounting space 11 and is integrated with the mounting body 10. The mounting elastic element 20 is located on one side of the mounting opening 12 and is configured to elastically deform along the first direction X under the action of an external force.

[0056] A hook 30 is mounted on the mounting body 10, and the hook 30 and the mounting body 10 enclose a hook space 31 and a hook opening 32 communicating with the hook space 31. The hook opening 32 is located on one side of the hook space 31 in the second direction Y, and the hook opening 32 faces opposite directions to the mounting opening 12. Specifically... Figure 1 In the embodiments described below, the first direction X is the left-right direction, the second direction Y is the up-down direction, and the third direction Z is the direction perpendicular to the paper.

[0057] Each photovoltaic tile 40 has a first end 44 and a second end 45 disposed opposite each other along a first direction X. Each photovoltaic tile 40 has a hanging part 41 at its first end 44. All photovoltaic tiles 40 are stacked in a staggered manner along a second direction Y. When the mounting structure is set at the overlapping end of two adjacent photovoltaic tiles 40, the second end 45 of one photovoltaic tile 40 can enter the mounting space 11 through the mounting opening 12, and the hanging part 41 of the other photovoltaic tile 40 can enter the hook space 31 through the hook opening 32. In this way, the first end 44 of one photovoltaic tile 40 can be limited and fixed by the mounting space 11, and the first end 44 of the other photovoltaic tile 40 can be fixed by the hook space 31, thereby realizing the installation and fixation of two photovoltaic tiles 40 by one mounting structure.

[0058] When there are at least three photovoltaic tiles 40, there are multiple sets of two adjacent photovoltaic tiles 40, and each set of two adjacent photovoltaic tiles 40 has an installation structure. In this case, except for the two photovoltaic tiles 40 located at the first and last positions in the second direction Y, the photovoltaic tiles 40 located in the middle are provided with installation structures at both ends in the first direction X, so that the two ends of the photovoltaic tiles 40 can be installed and fixed by the two installation structures respectively.

[0059] At this time, the second end 45 of the photovoltaic tile 40, which has mounting structures at both ends, can enter the mounting space 11 of one of the mounting structures, and the hanging part 41 of the photovoltaic tile 40 can enter the hook space 31 of the other mounting structure. When the hanging part 41 is located in the hook space 31, as the second end 45 of the photovoltaic tile 40 exits the mounting space 11 through the mounting opening 12, the hanging part 41 abuts against the hook 30 and prevents the photovoltaic tile 40 from moving. That is, since the hook opening 32 and the mounting opening 12 face opposite directions, when the photovoltaic tile 40 exits the mounting space 11 through the mounting opening 12, the hanging part 41 will move away from the hook opening 32 until the hook 30 abuts against the hanging part 41 and prevents the photovoltaic tile 40 from exiting the mounting space 11, thereby achieving the effect of fixing the photovoltaic tile 40 to the two mounting structures.

[0060] As the mounting part 41 exits the hook space 31 through the hook opening 32, the photovoltaic tile 40 abuts against the installation elastic member 20. The installation elastic member 20 accumulates an elastic force to allow the photovoltaic tile 40 to exit the installation space 11 along the first direction X. Thus, if the mounting part 41 needs to detach from the hook member 30, it needs to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member. Therefore, in the non-disassembly state, the elastic member can prevent the mounting part 41 from detaching from the hook member 30, ensuring the stability of the photovoltaic tile 40.

[0061] When it is necessary to disassemble the photovoltaic tile 40, the mounting part 41 can be withdrawn from the hook space 31 through the hook opening 32. At this time, the photovoltaic tile 40 moves towards the depth of the installation space 11 and can abut against the installation elastic member 20. As the photovoltaic tile 40 continues to go deeper into the installation space 11, the photovoltaic tile 40 will press against the elastic member, causing the installation elastic member 20 to accumulate elastic force. Until the mounting part 41 separates from the hook member 30 of one of the installation structures, the photovoltaic tile 40 can be pulled out from the installation opening 12 of the other installation structure, completing the disassembly of the photovoltaic tile 40.

[0062] Conversely to the disassembly of the photovoltaic tile 40, when installing the photovoltaic tile 40, the second end 45 of the photovoltaic tile 40 can be inserted into the installation opening 12 of one of the installation structures, allowing the photovoltaic tile 40 to penetrate deep into the installation space 11. This compresses the elastic element until one end of the photovoltaic tile 40 can overlap with another photovoltaic tile 40, and the hanging part 41 can be aligned with the hook opening 32. Finally, the photovoltaic tile 40 is released. Under the action of the elastic element, the photovoltaic tile 40 moves along the first line of defense, allowing the hanging part 41 of the photovoltaic tile 40 to enter the hook space 31 through the hook opening 32, thereby completing the installation of the photovoltaic tile 40.

[0063] It should be noted that among the multiple stacked photovoltaic tiles 40, only one end of the photovoltaic tile 40 located at the first and last positions needs to be fixed. The fixing of this end can also be done using the above-mentioned mounting structure, that is, only the mounting space 11 or the hook space 31 of the mounting structure is used to fix the first end 44 or the second end 45 of the photovoltaic tile 40 located at the first and last positions.

[0064] When the aforementioned installation structure is used to install a photovoltaic tile system, the installation of elastic element 20 not only secures the photovoltaic tile 40, but also increases its wind resistance through the elastic force of the elastic element 20. The limiting mechanism significantly reduces the risk of swaying and loosening of the photovoltaic tile under long-term wind vibration and seismic forces, making it safer and more stable. Furthermore, the installation and removal of the photovoltaic tile 40 requires no additional tools; simply pushing the photovoltaic tile 40 separates it from the installation structure, offering advantages such as convenient and efficient single-piece disassembly and lower replacement costs.

[0065] In some embodiments, to improve the structural simplification of the photovoltaic tile system, the first-end mounting component and the last-end mounting component can be separately provided to fix the photovoltaic tiles 40 located at the first and last ends. Specifically, the photovoltaic tile system also includes a last-end mounting component and a last-end elastic component. The last-end mounting component has a last-end space and a last-end opening connected to the last-end space. The last-end opening is located on one side of the last-end space in the first direction X. The last-end elastic component is disposed in the mounting space 11 and is spaced apart from the mounting opening 12 along the first direction X. The mounting elastic component 20 is configured to be able to elastically deform along the first direction X under the action of external force.

[0066] Of the photovoltaic tiles 40 located at the beginning and end in the second direction Y, one of the photovoltaic tiles 40 has its second end 45 accessible through the end opening into the installation space 11. The first end 44 of this photovoltaic tile 40 is equipped with an installation structure, and the hanging portion 41 on the first end 44 can enter the hook space 31 of the installation structure. This makes the assembly, disassembly, and positioning of this photovoltaic tile 40 the same as that of the photovoltaic tiles 40 with installation structures at both ends, and will not be described further here.

[0067] Furthermore, the photovoltaic tile system also includes a first mounting member, which has a last space and a last opening communicating with the last space. Of the two photovoltaic tiles 40 located at the first and last positions in the second direction Y, the mounting part 41 of the other photovoltaic tile 40 can enter the last space through the last opening. The second end 45 of this photovoltaic tile 40 is also provided with a mounting structure, and the second end 45 of this photovoltaic tile 40 is located within the mounting space 11 of the mounting structure. This makes the disassembly, assembly, and positioning of this photovoltaic tile 40 the same as that of the photovoltaic tile 40 with mounting structures at both ends, which will not be described again here.

[0068] By setting separate first and last mounting components, which retain only the necessary structure, a simplified structure can be achieved. It should be noted that if there are only two photovoltaic tiles 40, they can be installed using the first and last mounting components and a single mounting structure. In other embodiments, the first and last mounting components can also be fasteners such as screws, meaning the first or last photovoltaic panel can be directly fixed using fasteners or clips.

[0069] In some embodiments of this application, see [reference] Figure 2 The hook component 30 includes a first hook portion 33 and a second hook portion 34. The first hook portion 33 is disposed on the mounting body 10 and extends longitudinally along the second direction Y. The second hook portion 34 is connected to the end of the first hook portion 33 away from the mounting body 10 and extends longitudinally along the first direction X. Thus, the first hook portion 33 and the second hook portion 34 form an L-shaped structure. A hook opening 32 is formed between the end of the second hook portion 34 away from the first hook portion 33 and the mounting body 10. The hook opening 32 is formed inside the L-shaped structure.

[0070] The mounting section 41 also includes a first mounting block 42 and a second mounting block 43. The first mounting block 42 extends longitudinally along the second direction Y, and the second mounting block 43 is connected to the first mounting block 42 and extends longitudinally along the first direction X. The first mounting block 42 and the second mounting block 43 also form an L-shaped structure. When the mounting block enters the hook space 31, the first hook portion 33 of the second mounting block 43 can abut against the first mounting block 42, or the second hook portion 34 can abut against the first mounting block 42, preventing the mounting section 41 from continuing to extend into the hook space 31, thereby preventing the photovoltaic tile 40 from leaving the installation space 11 along the installation opening 12.

[0071] Optionally, the first hook portion 33, the second hook portion 34, and the mounting body 10 are integrally formed, thereby reducing the number of mounting parts required for the hook component 30. It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the hook component 30 may also be in the shape of a barb or the like, which is not limited here.

[0072] In some embodiments of this application, see [reference] Figure 2 The mounting body 10 includes a first main body 13, a second main body 14, and a third main body 15. The second main body 14 is connected to the first main body 13 and the second main body 14 at the same end in the first direction X, so that a gap is formed between the first main body 13 and the second main body 14. This allows the first main body 14, the second main body 14, and the third main body 14 to enclose an mounting space 11 and a mounting opening 12. The mounting opening 12 is located at the end of the first main body 13 and the second main body 14 away from the second main body 14. When the photovoltaic tile 40 enters the mounting space 11 through the mounting opening 12, the second end 45 of the photovoltaic tile 40 is limited along the second direction Y by the second main body 14 and the third main body 15, preventing the second end 45 of the photovoltaic tile 40 from displacing and achieving the effect of fixing and limiting the photovoltaic tile 40.

[0073] Furthermore, the mounting body 10 also includes a fourth body portion 16. One end of the fourth body portion 16 is located at the end of the third body portion 15 away from the mounting opening 12 in the second direction Y, and the other end extends longitudinally in the direction away from the third body portion. Thus, the fourth body portion 16 and the third body portion 15 are arranged in an L-shape, and a space for accommodating the mounting base structure such as the batten 50 can be formed between the fourth body portion 16 and the third body portion 15, so that the mounting structure can be fixed to the mounting contact structure such as the batten 50 through the fourth body portion 16.

[0074] Specifically, the fourth main body 16 has a through mounting hole 17. The mounting structure also includes a mounting fastener 18, which is a screw, bolt, etc. The mounting fastener 18 passes through the mounting hole 17 and connects with the batten 50, thereby fixing the fourth main body 16 to the batten 50. Optionally, the batten 50 has a threaded hole, and the mounting fastener 18 is a bolt that passes through the mounting hole 17 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, thereby fixing the fourth fixing part to the batten 50.

[0075] In some embodiments of this application, the mounting elastic element 20 includes a spring sheet, which includes a fixed part 21 and an elastic part 22 connected to each other. The fixed part 21 is fixed on the mounting body 10, and the elastic part 22 is configured to move relative to the fixed part 21 in a first direction X under the action of an external force, thereby accumulating or releasing elastic force through the movement of the elastic element relative to the fixed part 21.

[0076] The mounting structure also includes a spring fastener 23. A fixing hole 24 is provided through the fixing part 21, and the spring fastener 23 passes through the fixing hole 24 and is connected to the mounting body 10. Optionally, the spring fastener 23 is a rivet, which fixes the fixing part 21 of the spring to the second main body part 14 of the mounting body 10.

[0077] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The spring also includes a connecting part 25. Both the connecting part 25 and the elastic part 22 include two. The two connecting parts 25 are respectively located at the ends of the fixing part 21 in the third direction Z, away from the mounting opening 12 in the first direction X. Each connecting part 25 is set at an obtuse angle to the fixing part 21. One end of each of the two elastic parts 22 is located at the other end of the connecting part 25, and the other ends of the two elastic parts 22 extend away from each other in the third direction Z.

[0078] Thus, in this embodiment, when the photovoltaic tile 40 enters the installation space 11 along the installation opening 12, the photovoltaic tile 40 will abut against the two elastic parts 22. If the photovoltaic tile 40 continues to move, the photovoltaic tile 40 will drive the two elastic parts 22 and the two connecting parts 25 to move relative to the fixed part 21 together, and accumulate elastic force through the deformation of the two elastic parts 22 and the two connecting parts 25 relative to the fixed part 21. When the photovoltaic tile 40 exits the installation opening 12, the two elastic parts 22 and the two connecting parts 25 will restore their deformation relative to the fixed part 21 to release the elastic force.

[0079] In some other embodiments, the connecting part 25 may be omitted, and the elastic part 22 may be directly connected to the fixing part 21. For details, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The elastic part 22 includes two parts, one end of which is respectively disposed at one end of the fixed part 21 in the first direction X, and the other end in the third direction Z. Each elastic part 22 is disposed at an obtuse angle to the fixed part 21. That is, in this embodiment, the photovoltaic tile 40 directly drives the two elastic parts 22 to deform relative to the fixed part 21 to accumulate elastic force. When the photovoltaic tile 40 exits the installation opening 12, the two elastic parts 22 restore their deformation relative to the fixed part 21 to release the elastic force.

[0080] In other embodiments, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 The spring also includes a connecting portion 25, one end of which is connected to the fixing portion 21 in the first direction X, and the connecting portion 25 is set at an obtuse angle to the fixing portion 21. One end of the elastic portion 22 is located at the other end of the connecting portion 25, and the other end of the elastic portion 22 extends longitudinally away from the connecting portion 25. That is, in this example, the entire spring is Z-shaped. The photovoltaic tile 40 will cause the connecting portion 25 and the elastic portion 22 to deform relative to the fixing portion 21 to accumulate elastic force. When the photovoltaic tile 40 exits the installation opening 12, the connecting portion 25 and the elastic portion 22 will restore their deformation relative to the fixing portion 21 to release the elastic force.

[0081] In some other embodiments, see Figure 9 and Figure 10The spring also includes a connecting portion 25. One end of the connecting portion 25 is connected to the fixed portion 21 at one end in the third direction Z. The other end of the connecting portion 25 is bent toward the other end of the fixed portion 21 and connected to the elastic portion 22. In the third direction Z, the distance between the elastic portion 22 and the fixed portion 21 gradually increases in the first direction X, so that the entire spring forms a U-shape with a gradually increasing opening. In this example, the photovoltaic tile 40 accumulates elastic force by folding the elastic portion 22 and the connecting portion 25 relative to the fixed portion 21. When the photovoltaic tile 40 exits the installation opening 12, the connecting portion 25 and the elastic portion 22 fold in the opposite direction relative to the fixed portion 21 to release the elastic force.

[0082] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the elastic element may also include materials with elastic deformation such as springs and rubber, which are not limited here.

[0083] The following combination Figure 1 The installation and disassembly process of the photovoltaic tile 40 in the embodiments of this application is described as follows:

[0084] First, after the batten 50 is installed, the third main body 15 and the fourth main body 16 form a self-positioning structure, and the third main body 15 and the fourth main body 16 of the installation body 10 are attached to the surface of the batten 50, and the fourth main body 16 is fastened to the batten 50 with the installation fastener 18.

[0085] After installing at least three mounting structures in sequence along the stacking direction of multiple photovoltaic tiles 40, insert the second end 45 of the first row of photovoltaic tiles 40 into the mounting opening 12 of the second mounting structure until the hanging part 41 of the photovoltaic tile 40 can be aligned with the hook opening 32 of the first mounting structure. Release the photovoltaic tile 40 so that the hanging part 41 enters the hook opening 32, thus completing the installation of the first row of photovoltaic tiles 40.

[0086] The second row of photovoltaic tiles 40 is inserted into the installation opening 12 of the third installation structure until the first end 44 of the second row of photovoltaic tiles 40 can overlap the second end 45 of the first row of photovoltaic tiles 40, and the hanging part 41 of the photovoltaic tile 40 is aligned with the hook opening 32 of the second installation structure. The photovoltaic tile 40 is then released, allowing the hanging part 41 to enter the hook, thus completing the installation of the second row of photovoltaic tiles 40. This process is repeated until all photovoltaic tiles 40 are installed.

[0087] When it is necessary to repair or replace one of the photovoltaic tiles 40, taking the second row of photovoltaic tiles 40 as an example, when it is necessary to disassemble the second row of photovoltaic tiles 40, move the second row of photovoltaic tiles 40 toward the installation opening 12 of the third installation structure, so that the photovoltaic tile 40 abuts against the installation elastic member 20 of the third installation structure and compresses the installation elastic member 20 until the hanging part 41 of the photovoltaic tile 40 separates from the hook member 30. At this time, lift the photovoltaic tile 40 upward and pull the photovoltaic tile 40 out of the installation opening 12 to complete the disassembly of the photovoltaic tile 40.

[0088] The above-described installation structure has at least the following advantages:

[0089] 1. Improved anti-loosening performance: The elastic pre-tightening force of the installed elastic element 20 increases the wind resistance of the photovoltaic tile 40 at the connection point. The limiting measures greatly reduce the risk of swaying and loosening of the photovoltaic tile under long-term wind vibration and earthquake external action, making it safer and more stable.

[0090] 2. High efficiency of single-piece disassembly: Single-piece disassembly is convenient and efficient, and the replacement cost is lower.

[0091] 3. No risk of rust: Eliminating the bolt structure avoids metal-to-metal corrosion, extending the system life to over 25 years.

[0092] 4. Construction is user-friendly and efficient, saving BOS costs: Pre-assembly without additional procedures and support for tool-free manual operation, improving the installation error tolerance rate, greatly improving construction efficiency, and reducing construction cycle and cost.

[0093] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0094] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
