Solar fence post with integrated threaded chamber and vibration-damping rubber profile chamber

Abstract

Fence post with functional insertion channels. The subject of the patent claim is a specially designed fence post with two opposing insertion channels (Fig. 1; 1), a centrally integrated groove chamber (Fig. 1; 6), and lateral groove sockets (Fig. 1; 4) for accommodating a rubber profile. This design ensures secure, form-fitting, and vibration-free attachment of solar modules. The construction allows for modular expansion of the fence system and flexible corner installation.

Description

invention

[0001] The invention relates to an innovative solar fence post made of aluminum in square tube form with an integrated threaded chamber and lateral groove sockets for stable and vibration-free fixing of solar modules.

[0002] Specially developed rubber profiles in the recesses reduce vibrations and prevent friction noise between posts and modules.

[0003] A centrally positioned drill hole allows for mounting on a floor plate, allowing for flexible height adjustment. Ground anchoring is achieved via a threaded chamber, eliminating the need for additional drilling. Four drill holes at the top allow for secure attachment of a cover cap.

[0004] To fix solar modules, groove sockets with screw channels are integrated, ensuring precise and secure installation.

[0005] For use as an end post, a clip profile can be attached, which snaps into the designated recesses using a special spring mechanism.

[0006] A supplementary handrail rail profile with a round handrail, connecting neck and base plate can optionally be mounted on the solar fence post. Description

[0007] The solar fence post consists of a powder-coated or anodized square aluminum profile. The profile includes grooved sockets, screw channels, and threaded holes for attaching the solar modules and other components.

[0008] An embodiment of the invention is appended to the Fig. 1 to 7. They show: Fig. 1 solar fence post profile Fig. 2 solar clip profile fence posts Fig. 3 Solar handrail rail profile Fig. 4 solar fence post profile construction WITHOUT handrail with concrete foundation Fig. 5 Solar fence post profile construction WITH handrail with concrete foundation Fig. 6 Solar fence post profile construction WITHOUT handrail with plastic foundation Fig. 7 Solar fence post profile construction WITH handrail with plastic foundation

[0009] An advantageous embodiment of the invention is shown in claims 1 and 2. Attaching the solar modules • The side groove sockets ( Fig. 1; Fig. 1) allow precise positioning of the solar modules, which are fixed using M10 screws ( Fig. 1; Fig. 2) be securely fixed. • A marking recess ( Fig. 1; Fig. 3) facilitates the exact alignment of the screws in the M10 threaded channels. • Additional cutouts ( Fig. 1; Fig. 4) Inside the groove sockets are used to accommodate a rubber profile that absorbs vibrations and reduces friction noise between the solar module and the aluminum profile. • Further fixing options for a clip profile on the end post as a finish are provided by specific recesses ( Fig. 1; Fig. 5) given. Assembly and ground anchoring • The post has two alternative fastening options for connecting to other post profiles or cross braces: a groove ( Fig. 1; Fig. 6) and a core hole for M8 threaded holes ( Fig. 1; Fig. 7). • An M10 threaded chamber ( Fig. 1; Fig. 8) enables secure ground anchoring without the need for additional drilling. • A marking recess ( Fig. 1; Fig. 9) facilitates the exact alignment of the screws in the M10 threaded channels. • A central M10 borehole ( Fig. 1; Fig. 10) allows the post to be mounted on a base plate so that the height can be flexibly adjusted. • Four M5 drill holes ( Fig. 1; Fig. 11) at the upper end are used for the stable attachment of a cover cap or a handrail rail profile. DescriptionDesign and functionality • The front of the post ( Fig. 1; Fig. 12) is flat and smooth. • If the post is only equipped with a single solar module, an additional recess ( Fig. 1; Fig. 13) for the fixation of a clip profile, creating a closed and aesthetically pleasing surface. Clip profile made of aluminum for end posts

[0010] The clip profile ( Fig. 2; Fig. 1) enables a vibration-proof connection through: • Two elastic spring arms ( Fig. 2; Fig. 2), which has a springy effect ( Fig. 2; Fig. 3) generate. • An integrated nose ( Fig. 2; Fig. 4), which are located in the recesses provided in the post ( Fig. 1; Fig. 5) clicks securely into place. Handrail stile profile

[0011] The handrail rail profile (see Fig. 3) is used for secure connection to a fence post profile and essentially consists of the following elements: • A round handrail ( Fig. 3; Fig. 1), which acts as the upper closing and connecting element. • A neck ( Fig. 3; Fig. 2), which connects the round handrail with the underlying floor plate ( Fig. 3; Fig. 3) connects. • A rounding ( Fig. 3; Fig. 4), which gives the base plate a soft, semi-circular edge instead of an angular shape. • Another rounding ( Fig. 3; Fig.5), which serves to structurally reinforce the connection between the round handrail profile and the floor slab.

[0012] This design ensures a stable, durable and easy-to-install connection between the handrail profile and the solar post profile.

Claims

[1] Fence post with functional insertion channels The subject of the claim is a specially designed fence post with two opposing insertion channels ( Fig. 1; Fig. 1), a centrally integrated groove chamber ( Fig. 1; Fig. 6) as well as lateral groove sockets ( Fig. 1; Fig. 4) for receiving a rubber profile. This design ensures secure, form-fitting, and vibration-free fixing of solar modules. The construction allows for modular expansion of the fence system as well as flexible corner mounting. [2] Integrated threaded chamber for fastening solar modules The subject of the claim is two opposing threaded chambers integrated into the fence post ( Fig. 1; Fig. 2), which are designed for M10 threads and allow for secure attachment of the solar modules to the fence post. [3] Integrated threaded chamber for ground anchoring The subject of the claim is a threaded chamber integrated into the fence post ( Fig. 1; Fig. 8) with M10 thread, which allows for secure anchoring of the post in the ground to statically absorb the wind load and prevent the solar fence from tipping over. [4] Core hole for M10 threaded bore for height-adjustable ground mounting. The subject of the claim is a core hole integrated into the fence post ( Fig. 1; Fig. 10) for an M10 threaded hole, which allows the post to be mounted on a base plate and enables flexible height adjustment. [5] Core hole for M8 threaded hole for horizontal fixing of solar modules The subject of the claim is a core hole integrated into the fence post ( Fig. 1; Fig. 7) for an M8 threaded hole. This allows the mounting of a cross brace between two fence posts to fix the solar module horizontally. [6] Recesses for clip profile and alternative use of the insertion channels The subject of the claim is two opposing recesses ( Fig. 1; Fig. 13) for receiving a clip profile that creates a smooth surface on the fence posts. The insertion channels not fitted with photovoltaic modules can alternatively be used to receive decorative or functional elements, in particular an LED light strip, a cover strip or a clamping profile ( Fig. 2; Fig. 1), which can be integrated without tools and with a precise fit. [7] Spring-loaded clip profile The subject of the claim is a clip profile ( Fig. 2; Fig. 1), which has two elastic spring arms ( Fig. 2; Fig. 2) is equipped. These generate a defined spring effect ( Fig. 2; Fig. 3) and ensure a secure, stress-free and long-lasting fixation. [8] Clamping profile with self-locking latching mechanism The subject of the claim is a clamping profile ( Fig. 2; Fig. 1) with an integrated locking tab ( Fig. 2; Fig. 4), which are located in the provided recesses of the post ( Fig. 1; Fig. 5) snaps into place precisely and without play. This results in a high-strength, vibration-resistant and permanently stable connection that requires no additional fasteners. [9] Handrail with integrated base plate The subject of the claim is a continuous, round handrail with a neck and a base plate ( Fig. 3; Fig. 1) whose diameter corresponds to that of the fence post profile. The base plate enables a precise, durable and permanently stable connection between the handrail and the fence post, thus ensuring a homogeneous and architecturally appealing appearance of the fence system. [10] Core holes for M5 threaded holes for fastening handrail or cover. The subject of the claim is four core holes integrated into the fence post ( Fig. 1; Fig. 11) for M5 threaded holes, which provide a secure fastening of a handrail ( Fig. 3; Fig. 1) or allow a cover.
