Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present application relates to the field of mounting photovoltaic modules, and in particular to quick-installation press blocks. [Background technology]

[0002] Photovoltaic modules are a key component of solar power plants. Typically, photovoltaic modules must be attached and secured to brackets, for example, by connecting the module's internal frame to the bracket with bolts or by using a press block to press the module's internal frame against the bracket. The use of press blocks significantly impacts the installation efficiency, installation difficulty, and risk of damage to the modules. For example, when installing photovoltaic modules using existing press blocks, two photovoltaic modules must first be positioned, followed by a middle press block (the press block located between two adjacent modules), which must then be secured to the brackets using bolts, for example. As the size of photovoltaic modules increases, especially when installing photovoltaic modules on rooftops, installers must straddle the modules to tighten the bolts. However, because it is difficult to straddle the modules, installers must step on the modules to get close enough to tighten the bolts. This can result in damage to the modules. In addition, the C-face width dimensions of module frames from different manufacturers on the market vary, and most existing quick installation press blocks fix the solar photovoltaic module frame by applying pressure to the solar photovoltaic module frame in a direction parallel to the solar photovoltaic module. This fixing method of quick installation press blocks cannot adapt to C-faces of different widths, and the conventional press block mounting method is time-consuming and inconvenient. Furthermore, when installing solar photovoltaic modules using existing quick installation press blocks, the alignment between adjacent solar photovoltaic modules is poor, making it difficult to remove the solar photovoltaic modules for replacement or inspection. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide a quick-installation press block that is advantageous for improving installation efficiency, prevents installers from stepping on solar photovoltaic modules, and enables a solar photovoltaic module frame that can be adapted to different widths. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a quick installation press block including: a top plate having a first press plate and a second press plate adjacent to each other in a first direction; an attachment portion, a support portion, and a chuck portion, the attachment portion and the chuck portion being connected to opposite ends of the support portion in the second direction and located on the left and right sides of the support portion in the first direction, respectively; a support chuck whose lower end abuts against a rail; a rail connector connected to the rail; and a fastener having one end passing through the top plate and the attachment portion sequentially and then connected to the rail connector, wherein at least a portion of the chuck portion is located above the upper surface of the rail when the fastener is fastened and the chuck portion is not clamping the frame of a photovoltaic module.

[0005] In one embodiment of the present application, the top plate has a positioning groove, the opening of the positioning groove faces the mounting portion, the support chuck has a positioning boss, the positioning boss protrudes toward the top plate, and the positioning boss is embedded in the positioning groove.

[0006] In one embodiment of the present application, the top plate has a first through hole, the mounting portion has a second through hole, and one end of the fastener passes through the first through hole and the second through hole in sequence and is connected to the rail connector.

[0007] In one embodiment of the present application, the support portion has a first step structure and a second step structure, the first step structure and the second step structure are located at the lower end of the support portion and are arranged opposite each other in the third direction, and the first step structure and the second step structure are abutted against the rail.

[0008] In one embodiment of the present application, the rail connector comprises a first clamp portion, a connection portion, and a second clamp portion, the first clamp portion and the second clamp portion being respectively connected to opposite ends of the connection portion in a third direction, the first clamp portion and the second clamp portion extending toward the rail, and the first clamp portion and the second clamp portion clamping to the rail.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present application, the connection portion has an internal thread, and the fastener is connected to the rail connector via the internal thread.

[0010] In one embodiment of the present application, the rail connector further includes a first block portion and a second block portion, the first block portion having one end connected to the first clamp portion and the other end extending toward the second clamp portion, and the second block portion having one end connected to the second clamp portion and the other end extending toward the first clamp portion.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present application, the bottom surface of the second press plate is higher than the bottom surface of the first press plate, and the height difference between the bottom surfaces of the second press plate and the first press plate is equal to or less than the height of the portion of the chuck portion that is located above the upper surface of the rail.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present application, the device further includes an elastic member, one end of which is in contact with the rail connector and the other end of which is in contact with the support chuck, the top plate, or the fastener.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present application, the elastic member comprises a spring, and one end of the fastener is connected to the rail connector via the spring.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present application, the chuck portion comprises a bottom plate and a piercing, one end of the bottom plate is connected to the support portion and the other end extends away from the support portion, and one end of the piercing is connected to the bottom plate and the other end extends toward the second press plate, and when the fastener is tightened and the chuck portion is not clamping the frame of the solar photovoltaic module, the bottom plate is located below the top surface of the rail or is flush with the top surface of the rail, and at least a portion of the piercing is located above the top surface of the rail.

[0015] In one embodiment of the present application, the stab is elastic.

[0016] The quick installation press block according to the present invention has the following technical advantages.

[0017] (1) The fasteners in the quick installation press block pass through the top plate and support chuck in that order and connect to the rail connector, connecting each part inside the quick installation press block to form an integrated structure. In this way, when using the quick installation press block to fix a solar power generation module, there is no need to connect each part on-site, which contributes to improving installation efficiency. The integrated structure also improves the portability of the quick installation press block, making it easier for installers to carry it.

[0018] (2) When using a press block in the prior art to fix a photovoltaic module, the installer steps on the photovoltaic module to fix the press block to the bracket. In contrast, in the present application, the bottom plate of the quick installation press block is located below the upper surface of the rail. During the process of pressing the photovoltaic module into the quick installation press block, the photovoltaic module is not blocked by any parts other than the piercing piece, and the piercing piece is pressed by the photovoltaic module and bent downward. Therefore, the installer can fix the photovoltaic module to the quick installation press block by pressing the photovoltaic module into the quick installation press block, thereby avoiding the installer from stepping on the photovoltaic module.

[0019] (3) While conventional quick installation press blocks often secure a solar photovoltaic module frame by applying pressure to the solar photovoltaic module frame in a direction parallel to the solar photovoltaic module, the present invention clamps the solar photovoltaic module frame by using a chuck to apply upward pressure to the solar photovoltaic module frame. For C-faces of different widths, the chuck can clamp the solar photovoltaic module frame by applying upward pressure to all C-faces. This makes the quick installation press block of the present invention adaptable to solar photovoltaic module frames of different widths. Furthermore, after removing the solar photovoltaic module frame, the chuck can be returned to its initial state. When using the quick installation press block again to secure the solar photovoltaic module frame, the chuck can apply upward pressure to clamp the solar photovoltaic module frame. This allows the quick installation press block of the present invention to be used repeatedly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0022] In order to more clearly explain the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the drawings necessary for the description of the embodiments will be briefly described below. Obviously, the drawings in the following description are merely some examples or embodiments of the present application, and those skilled in the art can apply the present application to other similar scenarios based on these drawings without paying any inventive effort. Unless otherwise clear from the language environment or otherwise described, the same symbols in the drawings represent the same configurations or operations.

[0023] As set forth in this application and the claims, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, terms such as "a," "one," "one," "a kind," and / or "the" do not specifically refer to the singular but may also include the plural. Generally, the terms "comprising" and "including" only indicate the inclusion of explicitly identified steps and elements, and do not constitute an exclusive list of these steps and elements; a method or apparatus may include other steps or elements.

[0024] Unless otherwise specified, the relative arrangement of parts and steps, numerical formulas, and values ​​described in these examples do not limit the scope of the present application. It should be understood, however, that the dimensions of each part shown in the drawings are not drawn to scale for ease of illustration. Techniques, methods, and apparatus known to those skilled in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but, where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and apparatus shall be deemed to be part of the patented specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be construed as merely illustrative, not limiting. Thus, other examples of the illustrative embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that in the following drawings, like reference numerals and letters indicate like terms. Therefore, once a term is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0025] It should be understood that in the present specification, orientations or positional relationships indicated by directional terms such as "front, rear, up, down, left, right," "lateral, longitudinal, vertical, horizontal," and "top, bottom" are generally based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are intended solely to facilitate and simplify the description of the present application. These directional terms do not indicate or imply that a specified device or element must have a particular orientation or be configured or operate in a particular orientation, unless otherwise stated, and therefore cannot be understood to limit the scope of protection of the present application. The directional terms "inside, outside" refer to the inside and outside of the contours of each part itself.

[0026] For ease of explanation, the spatial relationship of one component or feature to another component or feature shown in the figures may be described herein using spatial relational terms such as "above," "above," "on top of," or "at a surface." It will be understood that spatial relational terms are intended to include orientations of components in use or operation other than those shown in the figures. For example, if components in the figures are inverted, a component described as "above other components or structures" or "on top of other components or structures" would be positioned as "below other components or structures" or "beneath other components or structures." Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include two orientations: "above" and "below." Components may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and appropriately described with respect to the spatial relative descriptions used herein.

[0027] It should also be explained that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely to facilitate distinguishing between corresponding components, and that unless otherwise stated, the terms do not have any special meaning and therefore should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Furthermore, although the terms used in the present application are selected from well-known terms, some terms described in the specification of the present application have been selected by the applicant at his / her own discretion, and their detailed meanings will be explained in the relevant parts of the description of this specification. It is also required to understand the present application not only by the actual terms used but also by the meanings contained in each term.

[0028] Next, the quick installation press block of the present invention will be described with reference to an embodiment.

[0029] 1 and 2 are schematic three-dimensional views of one embodiment in which photovoltaic modules are fixed using press blocks, and FIG. 2 more clearly shows the press block located on the left side of FIG. 1. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, two first press blocks 10 fix the first frame 21 of the first photovoltaic module 20 to the rail 30, two quick-installation press blocks 100 fix the second frame 22 of the first photovoltaic module 20 to the rail 30, and the two quick-installation press blocks 100 further fix the first frame 41 of the second photovoltaic module 40 to the rail 30. The two quick-installation press blocks 100 fix the second frame 42 of the second photovoltaic module 40 to the rail 30. It should be understood that the number of first press blocks 10, quick-installation press blocks 100, rails 30 and photovoltaic modules is not limited to the examples shown in Figures 1 and 2, and any of them can be arranged as needed, and further, the first press block 10 may be a conventional press block different from the quick-installation press block 100.

[0030] 3 is a schematic three-dimensional view of a quick installation press block 100 according to an embodiment, FIG. 4 is a schematic front view of the quick installation press block 100 according to an embodiment, FIG. 5 is a schematic side view of the quick installation press block 100 according to an embodiment, and FIG. 6 is an exploded view of the quick installation press block 100 according to an embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the quick installation press block 100 includes a top plate 110, a support chuck 120, a rail connector 130, and a fastener 140. One end of the fastener 140 passes through the top plate 110 and the support chuck 120 in that order and is connected to the rail connector 130. The quick installation press block 100 secures the photovoltaic modules located on both sides of the quick installation press block 100 to the rails.

[0031] Specifically, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the top plate 110 includes a first press plate 111, a second press plate 112, and a main body 115. One end of the first press plate 111 is connected to the main body 115, and the other end of the first press plate 111 extends to the left. One end of the second press plate 112 is connected to the main body 115, and the other end of the second press plate 112 extends to the right. In some embodiments, the top plate 110 does not include the main body 115, and the first press plate 111 is connected to the second press plate 112. A plurality of first tooth structures 116 may be provided on a first bottom surface 111a of the first press plate 111, and the first tooth structures 116 can increase the friction force between the first press plate 111 and the solar photovoltaic module frame. Similarly, a plurality of second tooth structures 117 may be provided on the second bottom surface 112a of the second press plate 112, and the second tooth structures 117 can increase the friction force between the second press plate 112 and the solar photovoltaic module frame.

[0032] See FIG. 7 for a schematic three-dimensional view of a support chuck 120 according to an embodiment, and FIG. 8 for a schematic front view of the support chuck 120 according to an embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the support chuck 120 has an attachment portion 121, a support portion 122, and a chuck portion 123. The attachment portion 121 is disposed opposite the chuck portion 123 in the second direction D2, and the first direction D1 intersects with the second direction D2. In FIG. 8, the right end of the attachment portion 121 is connected to the upper end of the support portion 122, and the left end of the attachment portion 121 extends to the left. The left end of the chuck portion 123 is connected to the lower end of the support portion 122, and the right end of the chuck portion 123 extends to the right. 7 and 8, the main body structures of the mounting portion 121, the support portion 122, and the chuck portion 123 are plate-shaped, but the main body structures of the mounting portion 121, the support portion 122, and the chuck portion 123 are not limited to being plate-shaped and can be set as needed. Note that the positions at which the mounting portion 121 and the support portion 122 are connected and the positions at which the chuck portion 123 and the support portion 122 are connected are not limited to those shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 and can be set as needed.

[0033] Referring to FIG. 16, the quick-install press block illustrates how the photovoltaic module is secured by the quick-install press block. The chuck 123 cooperates with the second press plate 112 to clamp the first frame 41 of the second photovoltaic module 40. Specifically, the chuck 123 applies upward pressure to the lower frame 41a (also referred to as the C-face in the photovoltaic field) of the first frame 41, thereby clamping the first frame 41 between the chuck 123 and the second press plate 112. The chuck 123 can accommodate lower frames 41a with different widths (dimension in the first direction D1). Alternatively, the chuck 123 can accommodate lower frames 41a with different widths. Specifically, the chuck portion 123 does not fix the first frame 41 by applying pressure to the first frame 41 in, for example, the first direction D1 (parallel to the solar power generation module), but rather applies upward pressure to the lower frame 41a to clamp the first frame 41. Therefore, even if the width of the lower frame 41a changes, the chuck portion 123 can clamp the first frame 41 by applying upward pressure to the lower frame 41a.

[0034] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6 , in one embodiment, the top plate 110 has a positioning groove 113, and the positioning groove 113 is provided on the underside of the main body 115, with the opening of the positioning groove 113 facing the mounting portion 121. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 , the support chuck 120 has a positioning boss 124 that protrudes toward the main body 115. When the quick-installation press block fixes the solar photovoltaic module, the positioning boss 124 is embedded in the positioning groove 113. In FIG. 4 , the positioning boss 124 can have a clearance fit with the positioning groove 113. In some other embodiments, the positioning boss 124 can also have an interference fit with the positioning groove 113.

[0035] 7 and 8, in one embodiment, the chuck portion 123 includes a bottom plate 123a and a piercing 123b. In FIG. 8, the left end of the bottom plate 123a is connected to the support portion 122, and the right end of the bottom plate 123a extends to the right (i.e., extends away from the support portion 122 in the first direction D1). As shown in FIGS. 4 and 8, the lower end of the piercing 123b is connected to the bottom plate 123a, and the upper end of the piercing 123b extends toward the second press plate 112 or extends upward.

[0036] 15 shows the quick installation press block with the fasteners 140 tightened and the chucks 123 not clamping the photovoltaic module. In the state shown in FIG. 15, the bottom plate 123a is positioned below the upper surface 31 of the rail 30, and the top of the piercing 123b is positioned above the upper surface 31 of the rail 30. In some embodiments, the piercing 123b has elasticity, and is bent downward when pressed by the lower frame 41a, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16. The piercing 123b applies upward pressure to the lower frame 41a, and can return to the state shown in FIG. 15 when the lower frame 41a is removed. In this way, the piercing 123b can be used repeatedly.

[0037] As shown in FIGS. 7 and 16, the lower end of the support portion 122 abuts against the rail 30. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the support portion 122 has a first step structure 122a and a second step structure 122b. The first step structure 122a and the second step structure 122b are located on both sides of the protrusion 122c in the third direction D3 and at the lower end of the support portion 122. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 7, the rail 30 has adjacent first and second wrap surfaces 32 and 33, with the downward step surface of the first step structure 122a abutting against the first wrap surface 32 and the downward step surface of the second step structure 122b abutting against the second wrap surface 33. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 16, the protrusion 122c extends into the rail 30.

[0038] FIG. 9 is a schematic three-dimensional view of a rail connector according to one embodiment, FIG. 10 is a schematic front view of the rail connector according to one embodiment, and FIGS. 11 to 13 are schematic diagrams illustrating a process for connecting a rail connector to a rail according to one embodiment. As shown in FIG. 13, a rail connector 130 is connected to a rail 30. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the rail connector 130 has a first clamp portion 131, a connecting portion 132, and a second clamp portion 133. The first clamp portion 131 and the second clamp portion 133 are arranged opposite each other in the third direction D3. The upper end of the first clamp portion 131 is connected to the left end of the connecting portion 132, the lower end of the first clamp portion 131 extends downward, the upper end of the second clamp portion 133 is connected to the right end of the connecting portion 132, and the lower end of the second clamp portion 133 extends downward. As shown in FIG. 13, when the rail connector 130 is connected to the rail 30 , the lower ends of the first clamp portion 131 and the second clamp portion 133 extend toward the rail 30 .

[0039] As shown in FIG. 10, the first clamp 131 has a first groove 131a with an opening facing left. The second clamp 133 has a second groove 133a with an opening facing right. As shown in FIG. 11, the rail 30 has a first protrusion 34 and a second protrusion 35, and the first protrusion 34 and the second protrusion 35 are arranged opposite each other. As shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, the rail connector 130 may be connected to the rail 30 as follows. First, as shown in FIG. 11, the second protrusion 35 is inserted into the second groove 133a. Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the first clamp 131 and the second clamp 133 are elastic, and by pressing the first clamp 131 and the second clamp 133 together, the first protrusion 34 is sandwiched in the first groove 131a. The configuration of the rail connector 130 is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the rail connector 130 may have other configurations that can be connected to the rail and do not contradict the technical concept of the present application.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 6 , the lower end of the fastener 140 passes through the top plate 110 and the mounting portion 121 in this order to connect to the rail connector 130. In one embodiment, the top plate 110 has a first through-hole 114, the mounting portion 121 has a second through-hole 121a, and the lower end of the fastener 140 passes through the first through-hole 114 and the second through-hole 121a in this order to connect to the rail connector 130. In some embodiments, a female thread is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the third through-hole 132a of the connecting portion 132, and a male thread is correspondingly formed on the lower end of the fastener 140, and the fastener 140 and the rail connector 130 are bolted together using the above-mentioned threads. Note that the method of connecting the fastener 140 and the rail connector 130 is not limited to bolt connection; for example, the fastener 140 and the rail connector 130 may be connected together using a snap connection. The fastener 140 may have a fastening portion 141, which is located at the upper end of the fastener 140 and can be used to rotate the fastener 140. The fastening portion 141 must not extend through the first through-hole 114.

[0041] As shown in Figures 4 to 6, in one embodiment, the quick installation press block further includes an elastic member 150, the lower end of which abuts against the rail connector 130, and the upper end of which abuts against the mounting portion 121 of the support chuck 120, the main body portion 115 of the top plate 110, or the fastening portion 141 of the fastener 140. Specifically, when the inner diameters of the second through hole 121a and the first through hole 114 are equal to or greater than the outer diameter of the elastic member 150, the upper end of the elastic member 150 abuts against the fastening portion 141. When the inner diameter of the second through hole 121a is equal to or greater than the outer diameter of the elastic member 150 and the inner diameter of the first through hole 114 is smaller than the outer diameter of the elastic member 150, the upper end of the elastic member 150 abuts against the main body 115. When the inner diameter of the second through hole 121a is smaller than the outer diameter of the elastic member 150, the upper end of the elastic member 150 abuts against the mounting portion 121. When the positioning boss 124 is clearance-fitted into the positioning groove 113, the upper end of the elastic member 150 can abut against the mounting portion 121, preventing the support chuck 120 from falling and facilitating installation of the quick-installation press block.

[0042] 4 to 6, the elastic member 150 is a spring, and the lower end of the fastener 140 is connected to the rail connector 130 via the spring. The elastic member 150 may be an elastic rubber ring or the like.

[0043] 6, in one embodiment, the quick-install press block further includes a gasket 160. The gasket 160 is set onto the fastener 140.

[0044] As shown in Figures 3 and 6, the lower end of the fastener 140 passes through the top plate 110 and the support chuck 120, and is connected to the rail connector 130. In this way, the components within the quick-installation press block are connected to form an integrated structure. The components can be connected before using the quick-installation press block. When using the quick-installation press block to secure a solar photovoltaic module, there is no need to connect the components at the construction site, which is advantageous in improving the installation efficiency of the solar photovoltaic module. Furthermore, the integrated quick-installation press block is also convenient for installers to carry.

[0045] 14 to 16 are schematic diagrams illustrating a process for fastening a photovoltaic module using a quick-installation press block in one embodiment. First, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a first frame 21 of a first photovoltaic module 20 is fastened to a rail 30 using a first press block 10. The first press block 10 may be different from the quick-installation press block or may be the quick-installation press block. Next, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, a rail connector 130 is clamped to the rail 30, and other components connected to the rail connector 130 via fasteners 140 in the quick-installation press block are mounted on the rail 30. Next, as shown in FIG. 15, the fasteners 140 are tightened and the first press plate 111 applies downward pressure to the second frame 22, thereby fixing the second frame 22 to the rail 30. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 15, the first step structure 122a and the second step structure 122b abut against the rail 30, and the support 122 can support the second press plate 112. Therefore, even if there is no solar photovoltaic module under the second press plate 112, the quick installation press block will not tilt to the right in FIG. 15, and the top of the piercing 123b will be positioned above the upper surface 31. 16, the second photovoltaic module 40 is placed on the rail 30 and pressed into the quick-installation press block along the first direction D1. The piercings 123b are pressed against the lower frame 41a, causing downward bending deformation, and the piercings 123b apply upward pressure to the first frame 41, clamping it. The next photovoltaic module is installed in the same manner. To replace a photovoltaic module, loosen the four fasteners of the quick-installation press block that secure the photovoltaic module and remove the top plate of the quick-installation press block to remove the photovoltaic module that needs to be replaced. Once the new module is installed, the top plate is replaced and the fasteners are tightened.

[0046] 7, in some embodiments, the tip of the stab 123b is formed with a plurality of tooth-like structures 123b-1, which can increase the friction force between the stab 123b and the photovoltaic module frame.

[0047] As shown in FIG. 4, the second bottom surface 112a of the second press plate 112 is higher than the first bottom surface 111a of the first press plate 111. Note that in FIG. 4, for drawing reasons, it is not clear that the second bottom surface 112a of the second press plate 112 is higher than the first bottom surface 111a of the first press plate 111. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 15, the height difference between the second bottom surface 112a of the second press plate 112 and the first bottom surface 111a of the first press plate 111 is equal to or less than the height of the portion of the piercing 123b that is located above the upper surface 31. Preferably, the height difference between the second bottom surface 112a and the first bottom surface 111a is smaller than the height of the portion of the piercing 123b that is located above the upper surface 31. In this way, when the support chuck 120 clamps the photovoltaic power generation module frame, the amount of deformation of the piercing 123b is large, so that a large pressing force can be applied to the photovoltaic power generation module frame.

[0048] As shown in Figures 15 and 16, the bottom plate 123a is located below the upper surface 31. Therefore, in the process of pressing the second photovoltaic module 40 into the quick-installation press block along the first direction D1, the second photovoltaic module 40 is not obstructed by other members except for the piercings 123b. Furthermore, the piercings 123b are pushed by the second photovoltaic module 40 and bend downward. Therefore, in the process of pressing the second photovoltaic module 40 into the quick-installation press block along the first direction D1, there is no need to lift the second photovoltaic module 40, and the first frame 41 can be pressed directly below the second press plate 112. This saves labor and improves installation efficiency.

[0049] Furthermore, when using press blocks in the related art to secure photovoltaic modules, an installer cannot secure the press block located between two adjacent photovoltaic modules sandwiching the photovoltaic module to the bracket, so the installer steps on the photovoltaic module until it touches the press block to secure the press block to the bracket. In contrast, in the present application, the second photovoltaic module 40 is secured by pressing it into the quick installation press block along the first direction D1. This prevents the worker from touching the quick installation press block between the two photovoltaic modules, and prevents the worker from installing the press block located between the first photovoltaic module 20 and the second photovoltaic module 40 across the second photovoltaic module 40, thereby preventing the worker from stepping on the photovoltaic modules.

[0050] 13 , in one embodiment, the rail connector 130 further includes a first block portion 134 and a second block portion 135. The left end of the first block portion 134 is connected to the first clamp portion 131, and the right end of the first block portion 134 extends toward the fastener 140. The right end of the second block portion 135 is connected to the second clamp portion 133, and the left end of the second block portion 135 extends toward the first clamp portion 131. As shown in FIG. 13 , when the fastener 140 is tightened, the lower part of the fastener 140 is located between the first block portion 134 and the second block portion 135 in the third direction D3, and the first block portion 134 and / or the second block portion 135 are in contact with the fastener 140 or are spaced a first predetermined distance apart from the fastener 140 and a second predetermined distance apart from the fastener 140, and the first predetermined distance and the second predetermined distance satisfy the following condition: the first block portion 134 and the second block portion 135 are in contact with the fastener 140 when the first clamp portion 131 and / or the second clamp portion 133 bend toward the fastener 140, so that the first clamp portion 131 and / or the second clamp portion 133 continue to bend and deform to prevent the rail connector 130 from separating from the rail 30. Simply put, the first preset distance and the second preset distance allow some deformation of the first clamping portion 131 and the second clamping portion 133, but do not allow the amount of deformation of either to be so great that it would cause the rail connector 130 to detach from the rail 30.
