[0007] Furthermore, the waterproof guide rail includes: an integral enclosed inner cavity for the installation of guide rail connectors and water diversion; a groove formed at the top of the integral enclosed inner cavity to cooperate with the clamping component and to receive water from the vertical gaps of the photovoltaic panel; planar structures formed on the top of both sides of the groove to support the photovoltaic panel; raised structures formed on the inner sides of the planar structures to position the photovoltaic panel; the upper surfaces of both sides of the integral enclosed inner cavity are bent to form a main water channel structure to receive water flowing into the horizontal gaps of the photovoltaic panel from the horizontal water channel; and an installation structure formed at the bottom of the integral enclosed inner cavity for the installation and fixing of the waterproof guide rail.

[0008] Furthermore, the guide rail connector includes: an integral inner cavity that fits into the integral closed inner cavity of the waterproof guide rail; a groove structure formed at the top of the integral inner cavity that adapts to the bottom of the groove above the waterproof guide rail and catches water leaking from the groove gap when the two waterproof guide rails are connected; the two sides of the groove structure are bent downwards to form receiving grooves that adapt to the main water tank structure of the waterproof guide rail and catch water leaking from the main water tank structure gap when the two waterproof guide rails are connected; the ends of the receiving grooves are bent upwards to form wing-shaped side wings to prevent water from overflowing to the bottom of the guide rail connector; the two side walls of the integral inner cavity fit together with the integral closed inner cavity of the waterproof guide rail for better connection of the two waterproof guide rails.

[0009] Furthermore, the horizontal water trough includes: a flat bottom structure, with its two sides bent upwards to form two side water troughs to catch water leakage within the horizontal gaps of the photovoltaic panels; a raised platform structure is formed in the middle of the flat bottom structure, and the two sides of the raised platform structure extend outwards and downwards to form a sloping eaves structure to facilitate water dripping into the two side water troughs; the raised platform structure then forms a raised section in the middle; the photovoltaic panels are installed between two waterproof guide rails, with one side resting on the platform of the raised platform structure and limited by the raised section; rubber pads are attached to both ends of the flat bottom structure and the two sides bent upwards and placed along the edge of the main water trough structure of the waterproof guide rail to prevent water from flowing back and overflowing outside the main water trough of the waterproof guide rail.

[0026] A quick-connect photovoltaic waterproof guide rail structure includes two waterproof guide rails 1 that cooperate with each other, a guide rail connector 2, a transverse water channel, an elastic connecting piece 4, and a pressing assembly 5. The guide rail connector 2 connects and fixes the two waterproof guide rails 1 together via the elastic connecting piece 3 and collects rainwater between the two waterproof guide rails (the structure and installation method of the elastic connecting piece are described in patent 2023232919160, and will not be repeated here). The transverse water channel 4 is installed between two adjacent waterproof guide rails 1 and located at the gap between the upper and lower photovoltaic panels to collect rainwater. The pressing assembly 5 presses and fixes the photovoltaic panels 6 onto the two adjacent waterproof guide rails 1.

[0027] In the specific structure, the waterproof guide rail 1 includes: an integral closed inner cavity 11 for the installation of guide rail connectors and water diversion; a groove 12 formed on the upper part of the integral closed inner cavity 11 to cooperate with the clamping component 5 and to receive water from the vertical gap of the photovoltaic panel; a planar structure 13 formed on the top of both sides of the groove 12 to support the photovoltaic panel 6; a raised structure 14 formed on the inner side of the planar structure 13 to position the photovoltaic panel 6; a main water channel structure 15 formed by bending on both sides of the integral closed inner cavity 11 to receive water from the horizontal gap of the photovoltaic panel flowing into the horizontal water channel 3; and an installation structure 16 formed at the bottom of the integral closed inner cavity 11 for the installation and fixing of the waterproof guide rail.

[0028] The guide rail connector 2 includes: an integral inner cavity 21 that fits with the integral closed inner cavity 11 of the waterproof guide rail 1; a groove structure 22 is formed at the top of the integral inner cavity 21 that fits the bottom of the groove 12 above the waterproof guide rail 1 and receives water leaking from the groove gap when the two waterproof guide rails are connected; the two sides of the groove structure 22 are bent downward to form receiving grooves 23 that fit with the main water tank structure 15 of the waterproof guide rail 1 and receive water leaking from the main water tank structure gap when the two waterproof guide rails are connected; the ends of the receiving grooves 23 are bent upward to form wing-shaped side wings 24 to prevent water from overflowing to the bottom of the guide rail connector; the two side walls 25 of the integral inner cavity 21 fit together with the integral closed inner cavity 11 of the waterproof guide rail 1 for better connection of the two waterproof guide rails.

[0029] The horizontal water tank 3 includes: a flat bottom structure 31, which bends upward on both sides to form two side water tanks 32 for receiving water leakage in the horizontal gap of the photovoltaic panel; a raised platform structure 33 is formed in the middle of the flat bottom structure 31; the raised platform structure 33 extends outward and downward on both sides to form a sloping eaves structure 34 to facilitate water dripping into the two side water tanks; a raised platform 35 is formed in the middle of the raised platform structure 33; the photovoltaic panel 6 is installed between two waterproof guide rails 1, with one side resting on the platform of the raised platform structure 33 and limited by the side of the raised platform 35; rubber pads 36 are attached to both ends of the flat bottom structure 31 and the two sides that bend upward and are placed on the edge of the main water tank structure 14 of the waterproof guide rail 1 to prevent water from flowing back and overflowing outside the main water tank of the waterproof guide rail.

[0030] Furthermore, the installation structure 16 formed at the bottom of the integral closed inner cavity includes: a flat bottom structure 161 to facilitate the fixing of the waterproof guide rail 1 to the support below; a T-shaped bolt groove structure 162 formed in the middle of the flat bottom structure 161 for fixing the T-shaped bolt; and two sides of the flat bottom structure 161 extending outward and forming protrusions 163 at the ends for fixing the guide rail pressure block.

[0031] Furthermore, the guide rail connector 2 has an integral inner cavity 21 with the bottom center arched upward to form a slotted structure 25, which facilitates the installation of the elastic connecting piece 4.

[0032] The waterproof principle of this invention is as follows: After the two waterproof guide rails are connected and installed at a certain angle, most of the water flows continuously into the groove corresponding to the next guide rail. Due to the gap at the connection point, a small amount of water leaks down. At this time, the lower guide rail connector catches the leaking water in the gap, preventing the leaking water from dripping down from the connection gap at the bottom of the guide rail. The water flows down along the water groove of the guide rail connector and falls into the inner cavity of the next waterproof guide rail to continue flowing down. Since a single profile can be compressed to a length of up to 6m, and the length of a common double-sided carport on the market is also around 12m, a single connection can meet the needs of most scenarios.

[0033] This utility model's waterproof guide rail structure not only solves the problem of water leakage at the connection point, but also solves the problem of cumbersome installation, filling this gap in the industry.
