Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) technology, specifically to a prefabricated gutter structure for a photovoltaic carport. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing photovoltaic carports do not have gutter water collection systems or use simple prefabricated gutters. The existing structures generally have the following problems: The first type is the carport without a gutter: rainwater falls freely along the surface of the photovoltaic panels, lacking an effective drainage path. The disorderly splashing of rainwater causes water accumulation on the ground, affecting the overall aesthetics, traffic quality, and building integration of the area. Furthermore, for projects with large-scale photovoltaic carports, the rainwater cannot be used rationally, resulting in a waste of resources. The second type is the prefabricated gutter canopy: Currently, most photovoltaic carports with built-in gutters are simple prefabricated gutters. These gutters have low compatibility with photovoltaic carports and small capacity. They are difficult to install in actual projects, rely heavily on on-site cutting and welding, have long construction cycles, and high labor and management costs. In addition, due to poor compatibility, they are prone to material waste. Furthermore, these gutters are mostly attached to the outside of the carport, affecting the overall aesthetics. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a prefabricated gutter structure for photovoltaic carports.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above problems is: a prefabricated gutter structure for a photovoltaic carport, including a carport body, a photovoltaic body, a gutter body and a support assembly; The gutter body has a groove structure. The gutter body is set below the outer edge of the photovoltaic body along the length direction of the photovoltaic body. The upper end of the inner groove wall is connected to a connecting plate, and a gap is provided between the outer groove wall and the photovoltaic body to allow rainwater to flow in. The bracket assembly includes a photovoltaic bracket, purlins, and a support frame. The lower end of the support frame is fixedly connected to the carport body. The purlins are fixedly connected to the support frame by multiple bolts. The upper end of the purlins is sequentially fixedly connected to the connecting plate and the photovoltaic bracket by bolts and nuts.

Detailed Implementation

[0013] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; 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; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0014] As shown in the figure, a prefabricated gutter structure for a photovoltaic carport includes a carport body 1, a photovoltaic body 2, a gutter body 3, and a support assembly. The gutter body 3 has a groove-type structure and is positioned below the outer edge of the photovoltaic body 2 along its length to receive rainwater from above. The outer wall of the gutter body 3 is higher than the inner wall. A connecting plate 4 is connected to the upper end of the inner wall, and a baffle 5 is connected to the upper end of the outer wall. The height of the baffle 5 is higher than that of the photovoltaic body 2. A gap is provided between the outer wall and the photovoltaic body 2 to allow rainwater to flow in.

[0015] The support assembly includes a photovoltaic bracket 6, purlins 7, and a support frame 8. The lower end of the support frame 8 is fixedly connected to the carport body 1. The purlins 7 are fixedly connected to the support frame 8 by multiple bolts. The purlins 7 have a C-shaped structure. The upper end of the purlins 7 is sequentially fixedly connected to the connecting plate 4 and the photovoltaic bracket 6 by bolts and nuts. A purlin bracket 9 is provided between the purlins 7 and the connecting plate 4. The upper end of the photovoltaic bracket 6 is fixedly connected to the photovoltaic body 2 by multiple bolts and nuts. The purlins 7 are used for structural support and tying of the overall photovoltaic carport.

[0016] The gutter body 3 has an outlet at its bottom or on one side. The outlet can be connected to a rainwater collection system to guide the collected rainwater to the back-end treatment system.

[0017] In one embodiment, a reinforcement structure is also included, comprising a tie rod 10 and a tie bar 11. The two ends of the tie rod 10 are fixedly connected to the outer and inner walls of the gutter body 3, respectively. The outer end of the tie bar 11 is fixedly connected to the tie rod 10 by multiple bolts and nuts. The inner end of the tie bar 11 is positioned between the photovoltaic support 6 and the photovoltaic body 2. The photovoltaic body 2, tie bar 11, and photovoltaic body 2 are fixedly connected from top to bottom by multiple bolts and nuts. This makes the overall structure more stable and prevents the gutter body 3 from slipping due to gravity.

[0018] In one embodiment, a water guide channel is provided between the photovoltaic bodies 2. The water guide channel is fixedly connected to the photovoltaic bracket 6. The lower end of the water guide channel is located above the gutter body 3 and is used to collect rainwater into the gutter body 3.

[0019] In practical use, when rainwater falls onto the surface of the photovoltaic unit 2, it is guided into the gutter unit 3 and discharged through the outlet. Compared with traditional external gutter structures, this design combines concealment, safety, and aesthetics while facilitating subsequent rainwater recycling and utilization. Furthermore, its modular installation method makes it easy to promote and apply in photovoltaic carports of different sizes and structural forms. Installation is quick, and subsequent maintenance is convenient, making it particularly suitable for the highly integrated green and energy-saving system requirements of modular zero-carbon factories.
