TOOL-FREE FIXING, GRADUAL ANGULAR POSITIONING AND WITH POSITIVE MECHANICAL LOCKING MECHANISM SOLAR PANEL MOUNTING CLAMP

Abstract

The invention relates to a solar panel mounting clamp used for mechanically attaching, fixing, and holding solar panels in various angular operating positions onto carrier profiles. The invention includes a tool-free fastening mechanism that allows the connection between the solar panel and the carrier profile to be established without the need for a separate hand tool, and a mechanical locking mechanism that limits unintentional loosening of the fixed position. The angular positioning mechanism, which allows for controlled relative movement of the panel connection section with respect to the carrier profile connection section, works in conjunction with a stepped positioning structure that enables the panel to be moved to one of several defined angular operating positions. The selected angular operating position is maintained by creating a positive mechanical locking via angular locking elements that are directly geometrically matched to each other.The invention also includes a load-transfer structure that enables at least a portion of the working loads originating from the panel to be transferred to the main clamp body and the carrier profile connection section via a mechanical load-carrying relationship separate from the angular positioning and locking components. Thus, the tool-free fixing of the solar panel to the carrier profile, its repositioning between specified angular positions, the mechanical maintenance of the selected position, and the controlled transfer of working loads to the carrier structure are all accomplished within the same mounting clamp.

The functions of readjustment by release are mechanically related to each other. 5 through components within the same solar panel mounting clamp. an integrated mechanical linkage, positioning and implementation for its realization It relates to the locking mechanism. State of the Art: In solar energy systems, photovoltaic panels can be installed on roofs, facades, or ground-mounted structures. various mounting profiles for mounting onto or similar load-bearing structures, Clamps, fasteners, and fixing devices are used. The aforementioned In mounting systems, solar panels are securely held on the supporting structure. transferring the mechanical loads acting on the panels to the supporting structure and the panels Maintaining the system at the designated mounting position ensures its mechanical reliability. 15 It is important. A significant portion of solar panel mounting systems in the current state of the art Securing the panel to the carrier profile; using bolts, nuts, screws, or similar threaded fasteners. This is achieved by tightening the elements. These types of connections... During its creation, a wrench, screwdriver, torque-controlled tightening equipment or similar 20 The use of auxiliary hand tools may be required. Especially for large panels and In installations where a connection point is located, each connection must be created separately. and tightening it increases the assembly time, the number of process steps, and the assembly This can lead to the process becoming more dependent on the practitioner. In assembly systems based on threaded fasteners, the mechanical condition of the connection is 25. It can also be affected by the tightening force applied. As a result of insufficient tightening... Movement or loosening may occur in the connection between the panel and the supporting structure, Excessively high clamping forces on panel frame, fastener or carrier profile This can create undesirable mechanical stresses on it. Therefore, the connection... 30 (This should be created similarly at the appropriate clamping level and at different connection points) This is especially important in large-scale solar energy installations. In some known mounting systems, the panel is fixed to the carrier profile. angular positioning of the panel, independent connecting elements or 3 This is achieved through mechanical mechanisms. In such structures, the tilt of the panel... or loosening existing connection points to change the mounting angle, The panel may need to be moved to the desired position and the connections tightened again. Therefore, fixing the panel and determining its angular position are separate processes. These can become assembly processes. 5 Angular positioning in some known structures; long holes, connection sockets, hinged The compressive and frictional forces created between connections or mating surfaces. This is achieved through means that rely solely on friction or squeezing force. In position protection structures, vibration, temperature changes, wind-induced loads, and As a result of repeated mechanical stresses, the initially determined angular position changes by 10 The risk of change may arise. Furthermore, the same applies to structures that allow for free angular adjustment. the mounting angle can be created in a repeatable manner at different panel connection points It can become difficult. Therefore, the panel mounting is only possible within a free angular range of motion. Instead of adjustment, it moves between 15 pre-defined mechanical angular positions. They can be moved and the selected positions are geometrically matched with each other. It is important to protect it through mechanical components. Such a mechanical In the absence of a relationship, maintaining the angular position is essentially dependent on the connection. It can depend on the applied squeezing or friction force. By determining the angular position, the determined position is locked during operation. The protection of different mechanical functions. A panel of a positioning structure. The ability to direct to one of several specific angular increments, by itself, indicates that the angular in question. This does not mean that the position will not change under external mechanical loads. Therefore, in addition to the positioning elements that define the angular step, the selected 25 a positive mechanics that provides either a separate or integrated positioning structure. Establishing a locking relationship is of technical importance. On the other hand, some snap-in fasteners are used to reduce panel assembly time. Compression or latching connection structures allow the panel to be attached to the carrier structure with fewer operations. It allows for connection. However, a 30 that provides a fast connection. The structure also allows the panel to be moved to different angular positions, the selected position protected by positive mechanical interlocking and controlled connection when necessary. It is not always possible to allow for his re-release. 4 Therefore, it is not enough to simply reduce the use of hand tools or to quickly connect its creation alone addresses all the technical requirements of the solar panel mounting connection. It does not meet the requirements. The connection, which is created quickly or without tools, is also the carrier profile. reaching a certain mechanical engagement state on it, that engagement The mechanical protection of the panel against unintentional unraveling, the angular adjustment of the panel is 5 This can be achieved without eliminating the carrier profile connection and the selected angular The position must be maintained under operating loads. These functions must be a single unit. Their interconnection within a mechanical system allows for quick assembly. It creates a different technical requirement than the connections. The fixing, angular positioning, and locking functions are independent of each other's mechanical 10 If it is done through components, the number of parts in the connection area It can increase and adjust the panel's mounting, angle adjustment, locking and readjustment. This situation may require the application of separate processing steps. complexity of the process, especially in installation areas such as roofs where access is limited. It can cause this. 15 Because the solar panel mounting connections operate in outdoor conditions, The connections in question are affected by wind, vibration, temperature changes, and events occurring on the panel. It can be subjected to varying mechanical loads. Therefore, only fast A mounting structure that provides a connection is not sufficient; the vertical movement occurring on the panel, Lateral and angular loads are controlled mechanically from the panel connection area to the carrier profile. 20 Transporting the goods via the freight route is also important. In some known coupling structures, the movable part determines or locks the angular position. The elements also bear a significant portion of the mechanical loads originating from the panel. They may have to meet this requirement. In such a case, positioning or Mechanical loads can be concentrated on the components that perform the locking function. 25 Therefore, the components that determine and maintain the angular position originate from the panel. mechanical load-bearing and support zones that withstand working loads it is associated with, but the working loads are only on the movable locking elements. Connection structures are needed that limit its concentration. Another important aspect of the assembly process is the correct connection of the panel to the carrier profile. 30 This involves placing the connecting element in its appropriate position on the profile. an adequate mechanical guidance relationship that enables it to be directed to the position absence of the desired locking mechanism; incomplete engagement, misalignment, or failure of the connection This can lead to situations such as not being able to fully reach that state. It is possible. In addition, maintenance, cleaning, panel replacement, or system reconfiguration are available. disconnecting existing connections or readjusting the panel angle during this process This may be necessary. In structures with numerous threaded fasteners, these procedures are described in Annex 5. While it may require some workmanship, it provides a fast connection but with a controlled release feature. Reusing the connection or reusing the panel in structures where it is not present. Positioning can become difficult. The panel connection may become uncontrolled during the release of the connection. complete separation or 10 of the intended range of motion of a movable link section Its deviation from the norm should also be considered in terms of assembly and maintenance procedures. It is a mechanical situation. Therefore, eliminating the locking situation then a secondary mechanical retention that can limit the complete separation of the link The mechanical relationship that determines the allowed range of motion of the movable parts. The use of containment structures is important. 15 Consequently, in the current state of the technology, the solar panel is attached to the carrier profile using a separate hand tool. fixing the connection in the correct position in a way that will reduce the need for its use mechanically guided, the panel between defined angular increments positioning, the chosen position not being dependent solely on friction force protection by positive mechanical interlocking, operating loads originating from the panel 20 transferring the load to the carrier profile via appropriate load-bearing and support zones, mechanical limitation of unwanted movements and connection when necessary The same mechanical structure allows it to be readjusted by releasing it in a controlled manner. the development of integrated solar panel mounting solutions that bring them together There is a need. 25 The purpose of the invention: The main purpose of the invention is to mount solar panels onto carrier profiles.

The solar panel's angular position relative to the carrier profile can be changed. The panel mounting clamp (1) has an angular positioning device (20). 20 Angular positioning device (20), panel connection section (3) and carrier profile connection It produces controlled relative angular motion between section (8). Thus carrier profile connection section (8) is kept fixed on the carrier profile different angular movement within the specified range of motion of the panel connection section (3) It is possible to bring them to these locations. 25 The mechanical movement of the angular positioning device (20) is the angular movement linkage (21) It is carried out via. Angular movement connection (21), panel connection section rotation between (3) and the main clamp body (2) or carrier profile connection section (8) or is configured to allow for similar angular relative movement. The motion geometry of the angular motion linkage (21) around the axis of rotation (22) is 30 It is defined. The axis of rotation (22) is a physical shaft, pin, bearing area, coaxial. connecting surfaces or other form of mechanical connection that allows rotational movement It can be created with. The basic function of the axis of rotation (22) is the panel connection section (3) 17 to perform its angular movement around a defined mechanical axis and uncontrolled The goal is to restrict movement in multiple directions. In the angular positioning system (20) stepped positioning element (23) It is located. The stepped positioning element (23) is located in the panel connection section (3) Multiple defined angular positions during its movement around the axis of rotation (22) 5 It is structured to create a stepped positioning element (23), angular mechanically related to one of the movable or fixed sides of the (21) movement link it could be. Step positioning element (23) or step positioning Multiple positioning levels mechanically related to the element (23) 10 (24) is located. Each positioning level (24) is positioned differently from other positioning levels. panel connection arranged so that there is an angular distance between the level (24) (3) allows the section to be stopped or held at certain angular positions. It creates a mechanical mating zone that provides positioning. (24) number, angular distance between positioning level (24) and geometric shape 15 It can be changed according to application requirements. Each positioning level (24), It is configured to be mechanically matched with the step counterpart element (25). Step counter element (25), panel connection section (3) at a specific angular position contact or passing relationship with the relevant positioning level (24) when brought This creates a mechanical 20 instead of a free and continuous angular adjustment. It is possible to select one of the defined angular positions. Angular movement outside the mechanically permissible operating range of the clamp There is an angular movement limiter (26) to prevent it from going out. Angular movement limiter (26), movement of the panel connection section (3) around the axis of rotation (22) It defines the specified lower and / or upper limits. Angular movement limiter (26), 25 opposing bearing surfaces, projection and counter surface, channel end or similar mechanical surfaces. This can be achieved through stopping geometries. Maintaining the selected angular position of the panel connection section (3) during operation. This is achieved through a mechanical locking mechanism (27). Mechanical locking The position determined by the angular positioning device (27) is 30 instead of being held in place solely by the friction force between surfaces, positive locking through mechanically mated components It provides. 18 Angular one of the movable or mating components of the mechanical locking mechanism (27) The angular locking element (28) is formed. The angular locking element (28) is selected angular When the position is reached, it is mechanically locked with the angular locking counter element (29). They are matched. Angular locking element (28) and angular locking counter element (29) The geometric matching created between the panel connection section (3) and the rotation axis (22) 5 It restricts its movement in an undesirable direction around it. Angular locking element (28) and angular locking counter element (29), reciprocal teeth, protrusion, recess, step, tab, channel or other suitable place where mechanically they can hold each other together They can be structured in the form of geometries. The working principle of these elements depends on the chosen panel connection 10 forming direct mechanical contact with each other in an angular position The aim is to prevent or limit the angular movement of section (3). The locking pressure element (30) is the angular locking counterpart of the angular locking element (28). It ensures that the element (29) is directed towards it or kept in a locked position. Locking pressure element (30), elastic element, spring-effect structure, mechanical preload This can be implemented as an element that provides or a similar force-applying structure. 15 Thus, the angular locking element (28) is compared with the corresponding angular locking counter element. (29) Unintentional separation due to vibration or external mechanical effects is limited. Locking pressure element (30), fixing pressure associated with tool-free fixing device (14) It is functionally distinct from the element (17). The fixing pressure element (17) is the carrier Movable fastening element 20 for creating and maintaining profile connection. (15) while acting on; the locking pressure element (30) of the selected angular position of the panel It has an effect on the angular locking element (28) to maintain its position. Therefore, these two printing elements are used in different mechanical subsystems and It helps create different locking positions for the handcuff. Step positioning element (23), positioning step (24) and step 25 The corresponding element (25) is essentially the mechanical selection of angular positions. while enabling its definition; mechanical locking mechanism (27), angular locking element (28), Angular locking counter element (29) and locking pressure element (30) selected angular This ensures that the location is maintained during the operation. Thus, location determination... The function of positively locking the position is mechanically related to the function of 30 They are performed together as distinct functions. In this context stepped positioning element (23), positioning step (24) and step While the corresponding element (25) forms an angular position selection and definition subsystem; 19 mechanical locking mechanism (27), angular locking element (28), angular locking counterpart element (29) and locking pressure element (30) are mechanically positioned in the selected location. It creates a locking subsystem for protection. Location selection subsystem panel connection thanks to the mechanical linkage of the locking subsystem. After the section (3) is brought to a defined angular level, the aforementioned 5 The working position of the stage is mechanically maintained. Thus, free angular movement, angular position selection, and positive locking follow each other. working states that are mechanically related to each other is being carried out. Removing the solar panel mounting clamp (1) from the selected angular position, again 10 Controlled release for adjustment or, if necessary, disassembly. There is a controlled release mechanism (31). The controlled release mechanism (31) is mechanical. locking mechanism (27) from the locked position in a controlled manner by the user It allows for its removal. In the controlled release mechanism (31), the user directly or indirectly 15 There is a release element (32) that can be moved in a free way. release element (32), pressing, pulling, rotating, tilting or similar user It can be configured to accept its movement. Release element (32) The applied movement is via the locking release transfer element (33) to the relevant locking It is transferred to the component. 20 The locking release transfer element (33) angularly reduces the movement of the release element (32). enabling the locking element (28) to be separated from the angular locking counter element (29) It converts the angular locking element (28) into mechanical movement. In this way, the user can convert the angular locking element (28) controlled release without having to separate it by direct manual intervention. It can eliminate the locking condition via the mechanism (31). 25 The operation of the controlled release mechanism (31) is only possible in an application with angular tool-free fastening on the carrier profile that will eliminate the locking situation It can be done in a way that will preserve its condition. In this case, the panel connection section (3), The carrier profile connection section (8) remains fixed on the profile while the angular It can be moved again. Thus, maintenance or repositioning is possible. 30 During this process, the angular movement of the panel does not require the clamp to be separated from the carrier profile. It is possible to change its location. In one application, a controlled release mechanism (31) of the fixing locking element (18) also mechanically affects the separation of the fixing locking counter element (19). It can be configured in such a way. In such a structure, the release element (32) and Locking release transfer element (33), in the direction of the applied movement or movement Depending on the amount, the carrier profile 5 is released by releasing the angular locking. The release of the connection can be carried out at different stages of the process. Thus, the carrier profile connection is completely removed for readjusting the panel angle. A release queue can be established in such a way that it is not mandatory to resolve the issue. Angular locking and fixing locking of the controlled release mechanism (31) mechanical connections affecting their condition, same or separate transmission paths 10 can be done via. In an application, the release element (32) can only be done via. While eliminating the angular locking condition of the mechanical locking mechanism (27), The tool-free fastening device (14) on the carrier profile can remain locked. Otherwise In one application, the same free action is used to eliminate the locking condition. a different movement of the release element (32) or a separate mechanical release movement 15 It is usable. Thus, the invention allows for the simultaneous release of two interlocking states. It is not limited by a mechanical order to which it is left. Mechanical loads originating from the panel pass through the solar panel mounting clamp (1) There is a load transfer element (34) for the purpose of transmitting the load to the carrier profile. Load transfer element (34) receives the vertical, lateral or angular loads coming from the panel connection section (3) main 20 The load is transferred from the clamp body (2) to the carrier profile connection section (8). The transmission element (34) is an integrated part of the main clamp body (2) or the main in the form of a separate carrier element mechanically connected to the clamp body (2) realizable. Load transfer element (34) associated with load bearing surface (35), working from panel 25 It ensures that the loads are received through a specific surface. Load-bearing surface (35), especially the study where the panel connection section (3) is in the selected angular position. In this case, the load is only the angular locking element (28), step counter element (25) or reduces its focus on other mobile positioning components. Mechanical bearing surface (36), load bearing surface (35) or load transfer element (34) with 30 By creating mechanical contact, the loads from the panel are transferred to the main clamp body (2) and the carrier It contributes to the transfer to the profile connection section (8). Mechanical bearing surface 21 (36) directly or indirectly with the load bearing surface (35) depending on the selected angular position. It can be configured to create mechanical contact. Load transfer element (34), load bearing surface (35) and mechanical bearing surface (36) Thanks to their coordinated operation, the locking mechanism maintains the panel's working loads and angular position. The functions of its components are partially separated. Thus, the mechanical locking mechanism has 5 (27) while its main task is to maintain the angular position, the main mechanical from the panel At least part of the loads are on the load transfer element (34), load carrying surface (35) and mechanical Angular locking can be met via the bearing surface (36). Thanks to this structure, angular locking All of the angular locking counter element (29) originating from the panel with element (28) It is not necessary to directly meet the workloads. Panel connection section (3) 10 Load bearing surface (35) and mechanical support surface (36) in the selected working position The contact created between them ensures that at least a portion of the working loads are directly transferred to the main It allows transfer in the direction of the clamp body (2) and carrier profile connection section (8). This enables position determination, position locking, and the main mechanical operation. The load-carrying functions are related but functionally distinct mechanical processes. 15 This can be done through different regions. This mechanical load path panel connection section (3) panel contact surface (5) and panel Starting from the bearing surface (7), the panel clamping element (4) and the main clamp body (2) through the load transfer element (34), from there to the load carrying surface (35) and mechanical to the bearing surface (36), then to the carrier profile connection section (8), profile coupling 20 It can be constructed to extend to the surface (10) and the carrier profile. Thus, from the panel instead of the resulting loads being concentrated on a single moving component of the clamp distribution into mechanically related load-bearing and support zones is provided. In addition, the solar panel mounting clamp (1) can be removed from the locked position 25 limiting the uncontrolled and complete separation of the panel or clamp during the process There is a safety retaining element (37). The safety retaining element (37) is mechanical. the locked state of the locking device (27) or the tool-free fixing device (14) even after removal, a temporary or secondary connection remains between the relevant connection sections It can be configured to create a mechanical holding relationship. 30 Safety retaining element (37), e.g. a retaining projection, safety stage, secondary coupling Its surface can be formed in the form of a confined channel or similar mechanical geometry. The purpose of the safety retaining element (37) is to eliminate the locking condition. 22 by creating a mechanical intermediate state between the complete separation of the connection the user can reposition the panel in a controlled manner or remove the clamp The aim is to allow controlled disassembly. The safety retaining element (37) is normal It functions as the primary fastening or angular locking element in the working state. not doing so, eliminating one of the main lock-out situations in question 5 subsequently a secondary mechanical holding function that limits uncontrolled separation This ensures that the main locking mechanism is released, allowing the panel or clamp to be freed. This does not necessarily result in the complete separation from the supporting structure at the same time. The secondary safety retaining element (37) formed for the complete separation of the connection. Controlled overcoming or elimination of mechanical restraint conditions 10 It may be necessary. The movement of the components within the clamp exceeding their intended limits In order to prevent mechanical movement, there are mechanical movement limiters (38). limiter (38), angular positioning of the movable fixing element (15). of the mechanism (20), release element (32) or mechanically related to them 15 the permitted range of motion or direction of movement of other moving components It can be configured to impose limitations. Mechanical motion limiter (38), a channel end, mechanical stop projection, counter in the form of a surface, movement slot, or similar physical constraint geometry It can be realized. The mechanical motion limiter (38) is 20 degrees from the angular motion limiter. (26) unlike the general one or more movable mechanisms inside the clamp It is possible to limit the range of motion. The angular motion limiter (26) is mainly mechanical movement when determining the angular range of movement of the panel connection section (3). limiter (38), fixing, releasing or other movable mechanisms It can be used to protect working boundaries. In this context, angular 25 movement limiter (26), around the rotation axis (22) of the panel connection section (3). While it has a limiting function specific to angular motion; mechanical motion limiter (38) other movable elements in the clamp are linear, rotational or compound a more general aim of keeping their movements within the allowed mechanical operating range It performs the function of restricting movement. These two restrictive structures are the same 30 It is possible to carry out this in the physical region or in separate regions. Together, they perform different mechanical functions. 23 When mounting the solar panel mounting clamp (1) onto the carrier profile, first of all, the carrier The profile connection section (8) is brought closer to the carrier profile. Carrier profile guidance element (12) and carrier profile guide slot (13), clamp on the profile This ensures that the device is directed to the predicted connection position. During this movement... profile gripping element (9), profile gripping surface (10) and profile holding protrusion (11) 5 It enters into a mechanical relationship with the relevant geometric sections of the load-bearing profile. At this stage carrier profile guide element (12) and carrier profile guide housing (13) the guiding relationship it creates, profile gripping element (9) and profile holding This facilitates the achievement of suitable connection geometries for its protrusion (11). After the clamp reaches the intended seating position on the profile, 10 guiding and geometric grasping stages of tool-free fixing and securing. The mechanical protection stages follow. Thus, the profile connection guiding, geometric gripping, fixing and locking of the fixing It is created through complementary mechanical stages. Once the clamp is in the correct position on the carrier profile, tool-free fastening is performed. 15 The mechanism (14) is operated by the user. The movable fixing element (15) mechanical on the fixing counter surface (16) by moving it in the direction of fixing a force is generated between the profile coupling element (9) and the carrier profile The gripping relationship is strengthened. The fixing pressure element (17), movable fixing Contribution to the orientation of the employee (15) to the working position and to the maintenance of this position 20 It provides. When the tool-free fixing device (14) reaches the intended fixing position, it is fixed. locking element (18) mechanically with locking counter element (19) It matches. Thus, the involuntary backward movement of the movable fixing element (15) is limited and the solar panel mounting clamp (1) is defined on the carrier profile 25 It is being fixed in place. After the carrier profile connection is created, the panel connection section (3), angular It can be brought to the desired angular position via the positioning device (20). The panel connection section (3), the axis of rotation (22) via the angular movement connection (21) 30 different step positioning elements (23) on the circling while being moved around Each positioning step (24) located in angular positions corresponds to the step. element (25) is in relation with it respectively. 24 Selecting the positioning level (24) corresponding to the desired angular position Then the mechanical locking mechanism (27) maintains the position. Angular locking element (28) mechanically with angular locking counter element (29). matching and locking pressure element (30) contribute to the preservation of this matching. Thus, the panel connection section (3) is powered solely by friction force. instead of being held together, they interlock geometrically or mechanically. It is positively locked through the blocking components. During this study... the rotation axis (22) controlled angular movement of the panel connection section (3) to define, the stepped positioning element (23), multiple positioning The step (24) and step counter element (25) can be selected to have an angular working position of 10. The mechanical locking mechanism (27) determines the selected position. It ensures the protection of the rotational movement, position selection, and position. Therefore, rotational movement, position selection, and position are crucial. The locking functions are three separate, successive operations within the same mechanical link. It is performed as a function. When the panel connection section (3) reaches the working position, the mechanical loads from the panel are 15 panel contact surface (5), panel bearing surface (7), panel gripping element (4) and main The load is transmitted from the clamp body (2) to the load transfer element (34). The contact between the surface (35) and the mechanical bearing surface (36) of the carrier profile This contributes to the transfer of the connection section (8) and the main working loads of the panel. only angular locking element (28) or stepped positioning element (23) 20 It limits the extent to which it can be met by them. User-controlled release when the panel's angular position needs to be changed. It operates the mechanism (31). The movement applied to the release element (32) From the locking release transfer element (33) to the angular locking element (28) is transferred and the angular locking element (28) is transferred from the angular locking counter element (29) 25 The panel is detached in a controlled manner. After the lock is released, the panel... connection section (3), re-movement via angular movement connection (21) It can be adjusted and a different positioning level (24) can be selected. When the new angular position is selected, the step counter element (25) is positioned accordingly. re-enters mechanical contact with stage (24) and mechanical locking mechanism (27) 30 It is locked again in the new position. Thus, the angular adjustment of the panel is controlled by the carrier profile. This can be done again without having to completely disconnect the connection. Tool-free fastening when the clamp needs to be completely removed from the carrier profile. The locked state of the mechanism (14) can be released in a controlled manner. Fixing separation of the locking element (18) from the locking counter element (19) Then the movable fixing element (15) can be moved to the position that allows assembly and profile gripping element (9) and profile holding projection (11) on the carrier profile 5 The conceptual relationship can be resolved in a controlled manner. During release and disassembly operations, the safety retaining element (37) is in the locked position. As soon as it is removed, the clamp or panel connection uncontrollably and completely disappears. It restricts the separation. The mechanical movement limiter (38) is the movable By preventing components from exceeding their permitted operating distances during assembly, 10 Contributes to the controlled execution of adjustment and disassembly stages. It provides.

The mechanisms in question describe the mechanical functions and the relationships between them. different types of interlocking, gripping, articulation, and latching, while maintaining functional relationships, This can be achieved with stratification, suppression, or mechanical mating geometries. Similarly, the panel connection section (3) and the carrier profile connection section (8) The geometry depends on the geometry of the solar panel frame and carrier profile to be used. It can be adjusted. Panel gripping element (4), panel contact surface (5), panel gripping protrusion (6) and panel support surface (7) mechanical connection with different panel frame cross-sections In such a way as to create; profile gripping element (9), profile gripping surface (10), profile holding protrusion (11), carrier profile guiding element (12) and carrier profile guiding The socket (13) can be connected with different carrier profile cross-sections 25 It is configurable. The mechanical structure of the invention is designed for the solar panel mounting clamp (1) during the initial assembly. fixing the panel onto the carrier profile without tools, with a specific angular connection. bringing it to one of the stages and the selected angular position positive mechanical locking It ensures protection through this. In addition, the load transfer element (34), load carrying 30 working loads originating from the panel surface (35) and mechanical bearing surface (36) It contributes to the transfer of mechanical properties to the carrier profile via suitable mechanical zones; controlled release mechanism (31), safety retaining element (37) and mechanical movement 26 The limiter (38) ensures that maintenance, readjustment and disassembly operations are carried out in a controlled manner. It enables its realization. The mechanical relationships described in the invention, the basic functions of the components, and their relationships with each other through different structural applications while preserving mechanical connections This is feasible. The dimensions of the gripping areas on the panel and carrier profile side are 5. geometries, number and distribution of positioning stages, locking components mating geometries, force generation methods of compression elements, load carrying and Different mounting configurations differ in the arrangement of the support surfaces and the way the release movement is transmitted. It can be customized according to requirements. These structural differences include tool-free fastening. stepped angular positioning, positive mechanical locking, load transfer and controlled 10 The invention works as long as it maintains the fundamental mechanical relationship between release and function. It can be evaluated within the scope of this principle. In this way, the solar panel mounting clamp (1); panel clamping, carrier profile clamping, tool-free fastening, mechanical fastening locking, gradual angular positioning, positive mechanical selector of the angular position.
