[0002] With the rapid development of the photovoltaic industry, building rooftop photovoltaic power generation systems have been widely used in industrial, commercial, and residential buildings because they can make full use of idle space and provide local power supply. However, there are still many problems to be solved in the structural design of existing building rooftop photovoltaic power generation modules.

[0003] Traditional photovoltaic (PV) module junction boxes are typically fixed to the back of the PV panel using adhesive or welding. When problems such as poor contact, terminal oxidation, or wiring faults occur in the junction box, the fixing structure between the PV panel and the bracket must be disassembled before repair or replacement can be performed. This process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is also prone to damaging the edges of the PV panel and reducing its sealing performance due to disassembly, thereby affecting the overall lifespan of the module.

[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0023] This application discloses a building rooftop photovoltaic (PV) power generation module, the core objective of which is to overcome the drawback of traditional PV module junction box maintenance requiring the removal of the PV panels. (Refer to...) Figure 1 A building rooftop photovoltaic (PV) power generation module includes a support assembly 1, a photovoltaic panel assembly 2, a pull-out structure 5, and a junction box 3. The support assembly serves as the load-bearing foundation, used to stably fix the entire module to the building roof foundation surface. The photovoltaic panel assembly 2, as the power generation core, is installed on the crossbeam 12 of the support assembly 1 via a dedicated fastening assembly 4, realizing the conversion of solar energy into electrical energy. The junction box 3, as the power transmission hub, is detachably installed via a vertical pull-out structure 5 along the height direction of the crossbeam 12, ensuring reliable electrical connection with the photovoltaic panel assembly 2 while allowing for quick removal without disassembling the panels during maintenance.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 The support assembly 1 is the core of the entire photovoltaic power generation module, consisting of three interconnected components: the frame 11, the crossbeam 12, and the pressure plate 13. The frame 11 connects the roof foundation to the crossbeam 12 and comprises a base beam 111, a movable beam 112, and a telescopic brace 113. The base beam 111 is fixed to the building's fixed concrete foundation or corrugated steel roof via the pressure plate 13, avoiding direct welding or drilling that could damage the roof structure. One end of the movable beam 112 is rotatably connected to the top of the base beam 111 via a stainless steel hinge, allowing it to rotate up and down around the hinge. The other end is rotatably connected to the top of the brace 113 via a pin. The brace 113 adopts a "screw-nut telescopic structure," with its bottom fixed to a pre-set ear plate at the end of the base beam 111 via stainless steel bolts. Tightening the adjusting bolt in the middle of the brace 113 changes its length, thereby adjusting the angle between the movable beam 112 and the horizontal plane. The preferred angle adjustment range is 15°-30°.

[0025] The pressure plate 13 serves as a fixing component between the base beam 111 and the roof foundation surface, providing constraint and positioning for the base beam 111 while preventing damage to the roof waterproofing layer. It is made of steel plate with a U-shaped groove protruding upwards in the center. The groove's dimensions are matched to the cross-section of the base beam 111, with a 1mm gap reserved. This ensures the base beam 111 is stably embedded in the groove while allowing for minor horizontal adjustments during installation, ensuring the parallelism of multiple base beams 111. A cast iron counterweight 132 is installed on each side of the pressure plate 13. The counterweights 132 are fixedly connected to the pressure plate using expansion bolts. The weight of the counterweights 132 secures the frame 11 and improves its wind resistance, preventing the entire support assembly 1 from shifting under strong winds.

[0026] Furthermore, the crossbeam 12 serves as the connecting component between the frame 11 and the photovoltaic panel group 2, bearing the weight of the photovoltaic panel group 2 and providing the installation and positioning function for the pull-out structure 5. At least two crossbeams 12 are provided, positioned near the bottom and top of the frame 11 respectively. It is understood that multiple frames 11 can be provided along the length of the crossbeam 12 to improve support stability. Mounting holes for installing the pull-out structure 5 are pre-drilled in the area on the side wall of the crossbeam 12 corresponding to the wiring position of the photovoltaic panel group 2.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The pull-out structure 5 is arranged along the height direction of the crossbeam 12 and has a movable end that can move back and forth. The junction box 3 can be detachably installed on the movable end. The pull-out structure 5 includes a fixed frame 51, a bearing seat 52 and a slide rail 53. The fixed frame 51 is the connecting part between the pull-out structure 5 and the crossbeam 12. It adopts two sets of symmetrically arranged aluminum alloy plates and is fixed to the side wall of the crossbeam 12 by stainless steel bolts. The slide rail 53 is welded and fixed on the opposite side of the two sets of fixed frames 51. The upper and lower ends of the inner side of the slide rail are provided with anti-detachment flanges to prevent the bearing seat 52 from detaching from the slide rail 53 during the vertical pull-out process.

[0028] The support base 52 includes two parts: a sliding connection part 521 and a support part 522. The sliding connection part 521 is a U-shaped plate that is slidably fastened to the slide rail 53. The U-shaped opening is adapted to the slide rail 53. The buckle is integrally formed on the side facing the end of the slide rail 53. A self-lubricating wear-resistant pad is pasted on the inner side of the U-shaped plate that fits against the slide rail to ensure smooth vertical pulling without jamming. The support part 522 is a U-shaped support plate, which is fixed to the inner side of the sliding connection part 521 by stainless steel bolts. The junction box 3 is fixed to the support part 522 by self-tapping screws. The output end of each photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic panel group 2 is electrically connected to the input end of the corresponding junction box 3 through a cable. The output end of the junction box 3 is connected to the cable 6. A U-shaped groove is opened in the length direction of the side wall of the beam 12. The cable 6 is embedded in the U-shaped groove and extends to the adjacent junction box 3 and connects to realize the collection and transmission of electrical energy of the photovoltaic panel group 2. A cover plate 123 is attached to one side of the crossbeam 12 with a U-shaped groove by a snap fastener. Waterproof adhesive strips are pasted on the edge of the cover plate 123. By covering the crossbeam 12 with the cover plate 123, a sealed space is formed inside the U-shaped groove to prevent rainwater and dust from seeping in and damaging the cable.

[0029] Furthermore, two sets of symmetrically arranged elastic buckles are integrally formed on the side of the sliding connection 521 facing the end of the slide rail. Correspondingly, a matching groove is provided at the end of the slide rail 53 near this side, with rounded edges to prevent stress breakage when the buckles are engaged. When the support seat 52 is pushed along the slide rail 53 to the photovoltaic panel group 2 and aligned, the buckles undergo elastic deformation due to the pressure from the inside of the slide rail. When it slides to the groove position, the buckles automatically spring into the groove, locking the support seat 52 and the slide rail 53. To unlock, a certain amount of external force is applied to the sliding connection 521 to force the buckles to disengage from the groove, thus moving the support seat 52. The specific structure and engagement method of the buckles and grooves are common knowledge and are not specifically limited here.

[0030] The photovoltaic panel array 2 is specifically composed of multiple monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic panels spliced ​​together to form a continuous power generation array. The photovoltaic panel array 2 is fixed by the clamping components 4, which are spaced apart along the length of the crossbeam 12 to ensure that the photovoltaic panel array 2 is subjected to uniform stress and avoid local stress concentration that could lead to photovoltaic panel breakage. The number of junction boxes 3 is the same as the number of photovoltaic panels and corresponds one-to-one. With the cooperation of the junction boxes 3 and cables 6, the photovoltaic panels are connected in series.

[0031] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5The clamping assembly includes a fixing part 41, a clamping part 42, and a clamping bolt 43. A T-shaped groove is provided on the side of the crossbeam 12 facing the photovoltaic panel 2. The bottom of the fixing part 41 is integrally formed with a T-shaped slider that matches the groove. After the slider is embedded in the groove, it can slide along the groove to adjust the position of the clamping assembly 4 according to the size of the photovoltaic panel 2, thereby improving the adaptability of the assembly. The clamping part 42 is an L-shaped aluminum alloy plate. Its horizontal section corresponds to the fixing part 41, and its vertical section fits against the edge of the photovoltaic panel 2 to achieve vertical displacement constraint of the photovoltaic panel. The clamping bolt 43 is threaded through a pre-set threaded hole in the fixing part 41, and its top end abuts against the horizontal section of the clamping part 42. When the clamping bolt 43 is tightened, the bolt can push the clamping part 42 to move along the thickness direction of the photovoltaic panel 2. When the vertical section of the clamping part 42 fits against the edge of the photovoltaic panel, the clamping bolt is tightened further to clamp the edge of the photovoltaic panel between the fixing part 41 and the clamping part 42.

[0032] In a normal power generation scenario, the photovoltaic panel 2 absorbs solar energy and converts it into direct current (DC). The electrical energy is transmitted to the input terminal of the junction box 3 through the plug at the output terminal of the photovoltaic panel 2. The output terminals of adjacent junction boxes 3 are connected in series via cables 6 to form a complete photovoltaic array power supply circuit. Finally, the power is transmitted to the inverter for inversion (converting it into alternating current) through the main cable. At this time, the junction box 3 is pushed into the docking position with the photovoltaic panel 2 along with the support base 52. The double latches 5212 of the pull-out structure 5 automatically spring into the preset slots of the slide rail 53, locking the support base 52. The cables 6 are embedded in the grooves of the crossbeam 12. After the cover plate 123 is closed, it becomes waterproof and dustproof, ensuring the reliability of power transmission.

[0033] When junction box 3 experiences faults such as poor contact or terminal oxidation and requires repair, maintenance personnel should lift the support base 52 with both hands and pull it vertically downwards along the slide rail 53. The clips will disengage from the slots, and the support base 52 will move downwards along the slide rail, so that junction box 3 is fully exposed below the crossbeam 12. Terminal testing and replacement of junction box 3 can then be performed. After the repair is completed, push the support base 52 upwards along the slide rail 53 to re-engage the clips into the slots.

[0034] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
