Description

Part for holding a panel on an elongated structure FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of fixing means and more particularly to means of fixing panels to an elongated structure.

[0002] In particular, the present invention relates to a part for holding a panel on an elongated structure. The present invention, without however being limited to this aspect alone, is advantageously implemented for fixing panels, and in particular photovoltaic panels, on floating structures. The floating structures comprise in particular floats, for example cylindrical floats, and on which panels can be held, in particular in an inclined manner. TECHNOLOGICAL BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The installation of panels, particularly photovoltaic panels, requires the implementation of interfaces to fix the panels to pre-existing or non-existing structures. It is then common to implement rails on which the panels are fixed, in particular by clips.

[0004] Document EP2867541 B1 gives an example. More specifically, this patent proposes fixing photovoltaic panels on parallel rails with clips secured to the panels and snapped onto said rails.

[0005] This latter solution remains technically interesting and is of proven reliability.

[0006] However, there are situations in which the implementation of rails remains problematic. Indeed, depending on the case, they can become cumbersome or simply their use is inappropriate.

[0007] This is particularly the case for photovoltaic panels mounted on floating structures. Indeed, and as described in the international patent application published under the reference WO 2022 / 242858, the floating structure comprises two rows of floats parallel to each other and on which photovoltaic panels are fixed.

[0008] In this patent application, the floats comprise metal cylinders inside which flotation elements are arranged. Sections of retaining rails allow the photovoltaic panels to be mounted on the floats. However, the consideration of sections of retaining rails imposes a tedious and complicated assembly.

[0009] Thus, an aim of the present invention is to propose a part for holding panels on an elongated structure making it possible to simplify the mounting of the panels on said structure.

[0010] Another object of the present invention is also to provide a compact holding part. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0048] The present invention relates to the fixing and / or attachment means. In particular, the present invention relates to a holding part intended to facilitate the installation and fixing of panels on elongated structures.

[0049] More particularly, the holding piece according to the present invention is advantageously implemented for holding panels on two elongated structures arranged parallel to each other.

[0050] In this regard, the present invention provides an example of installation 1. In particular, installation 1 uses the holding part for the installation and fixing of panels on two elongated and parallel structures.

[0051] In this, without this being able to limit the scope of the present invention, the installation comprises two cylindrical structures.

[0052] According to the present invention, two elongated structures parallel to each other require that said structures are merged with two opposite sides of a rectangle.

[0053] Thus, the two cylindrical structures called, respectively, first structure 11 and second structure 12 can be floating. In particular, said first 11 and second 12 structures can comprise in their volume flotation elements such as inflatable elements or foams making it possible to ensure the flotation of said structures 11 and 12. These two structures can be identical to the structures described in the international patent application published under the reference WO 2022 / 242858 (structure named in English “floating tube element 101” and illustrated in the application WO 2022 / 242858).

[0054] Installation 1 comprises at least two panels 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d and 13e (5 panels are shown in the). These panels 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d and 13e may be photovoltaic panels.

[0055] These panels 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d and 13e can be rectangular in shape and thus be secured to the first 11 and the second 12 structures.

[0056] In particular, this securing can implement a plurality of holding parts that are the subject of the present invention as well as a plurality of anchoring clips. In this regard, the anchoring clips, disclosed in patent EP2867541 B1 and called "fixing apparatus" in claim 1 translated into French of said patent, can advantageously be implemented. In particular, these anchoring clips comprise a snap-on section and an anchoring section. The snap-on section is in particular configured to be snapped onto an attachment section of a holding part, while the anchoring section is intended to be anchored to the frame of a panel.

[0057] In the following description, reference will be made regularly to different faces of a holding part. Furthermore, since a direction is defined in relation to two faces opposite one another, it is understood that the direction thus defined represents a general orientation. In particular, as defined in the remainder of the statement, the upper and lower faces make it possible to define a main direction, said direction going from the lower face to the upper face. This main direction defines in particular a direction in which the holding part extends and thus makes it possible to identify an order of appearance of the constituent elements of the part in said main direction.

[0058] The rest of the statement also defines two terminal faces called respectively, first terminal face and second terminal face. These two faces are parallel to each other, and also define another direction called direction of elongation which is essentially perpendicular to the main direction. The two terminal faces, opposite each other, extend in the main direction from the lower face towards the upper face.

[0059] The rest of the statement also defines two lateral faces called, respectively, first lateral face and second lateral face. These two faces each connect the two terminal faces according to the direction of elongation, and the lower and upper faces.

[0060] An element formed by a profile according to the present invention is an element which extends in a direction of extension and whose intersection with a cutting plane perpendicular to said direction of extension is invariable. In particular, a profile according to the terms of the present invention can be obtained by an extrusion process. This latter aspect is part of the general knowledge of a person skilled in the art and will therefore not be described in the following statement.

[0061] Thus, the present invention relates to a part for holding a panel on an elongated structure, the holding part comprises, in a main direction going from a lower face to an upper face of said holding part:

[0062] - a base formed by a profile which extends, in a direction of elongation perpendicular to the main direction, between two end faces of the holding part called, respectively, first end face and second end face;

[0063] - means of connection;

[0064] - a fastening section connected, in fixed connection, to the base with the connecting means, the fastening section comprises a profile which extends between the two end faces, the fastening section defining a housing, called a snap-in housing, configured to allow the insertion through the upper face and then the snap-in of an anchoring clip in said fastening housing;

[0065] the holding part further comprises strapping means configured to hold the base, by the lower face, integral with the structure, the strapping means comprising a metal strap intended to be fixed by its two ends to one and the other of two lateral faces called, respectively, first lateral face and second lateral face, of the holding part.

[0066] This is a schematic representation of a holding part 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

[0067] The represents the holding part 100 of the according to an exploded view.

[0068] The holding part 100 comprises, in a main direction Z going from a lower face 101 to an upper face 102, a base 200, connecting means 300 and an attachment section 400. The holding part 100 further comprises strapping means configured to hold the base 200, by the lower face, integral with the structure, the strapping means comprising a metal strap 500 (shown in) intended to be fixed by its two ends to one and the other of two lateral faces called, respectively, first lateral face 105 and second lateral face 106, of the holding part 100.

[0069] The base 200 in accordance with the present invention is formed by a profile which extends, in a direction of elongation X perpendicular to the main direction Z, between two end faces of the holding part 100 called, respectively, first end face 103 and second end face 104.

[0070] The metal strap comprises at one of its ends, called first end 501, an opening 502 allowing said end 501 to be fixed to the base 200, by the first lateral face 105, by means of a screw or a bolt.

[0071] To this end, the base 200 may comprise, on the first lateral face 105, a groove 201, which extends in the direction of elongation X. In particular, the groove 201 is delimited by two edges 202a and 202b internally folded or curved so as to be able to cooperate with the thread of a screw or a bolt. In this regard, the represents the base 200 along a section plane perpendicular to the direction of elongation X of said base 200. The groove 201, as illustrated in the, has an essentially rectangular section. Said groove 201 comprises a bottom 201a surmounted by two side walls 201b and 201c. The two side walls 201b and 201c end, by the first side face 105, by the two internally folded or curved edges 202a and 202b.

[0072] The base 200 may also comprise, on the second lateral face 106, a fin 203, which extends in the direction of elongation. Said fin 203 is in particular intended to be fixed, advantageously by means of riveting, welding, clinching or punching, to one end, called the second end 503 opposite the first end 501, of the metal strap 500. The metal strap 500 advantageously comprises at least one of the materials chosen from: Aluminum, steel.

[0073] The base 200 may comprise a wall, called the base wall 204. The base wall 204 comprises two faces, one being in coincidence with the lower face 101 and the other face, called the inner face 205, is opposite the lower face 101. The base 200 further comprises two walls, called the base side walls 206a and 206b and each extending the base wall by, respectively, one and the other of the side faces.

[0074] The base wall 204 may be concave in shape on the lower face and in particular configured to fit the surface of a cylinder.

[0075] Advantageously, and as illustrated in , one of the base side walls 206a carries the fin 203, while the other of the base side walls 206b carries the groove 201.

[0076] The base 200 may also comprise reinforcing walls which extend from the inner face 205 of the base 200. In particular, the reinforcing walls may comprise a first reinforcing wall 207a and a second reinforcing wall 207b which extend, for example in a divergent manner, from the inner face 205. The reinforcing walls may be arranged between the two side walls 206a, 206b. As illustrated in

[0026] and by way of example, the first reinforcing wall 207a may be connected to the first base side wall 206a by means of a first connecting wall 208a. Thus, these three walls form, with the base wall 204, a channel which extends in the direction of elongation. Equivalently and still by way of example, the second reinforcing wall 207b can be connected to the second base side wall 206b by means of a second connecting wall 208b.Thus, these three walls form, with the base wall 204, a channel which extends in the direction of elongation.

[0077] Each reinforcing wall 207a, 207b comprises a cylindrical channel, called a first holding channel 209a, 209b, which extends from the first end face to the second end face. Each first holding channel may be split along its entire extension length.

[0078] This is a schematic representation of a section of attachment 400 along a cutting plane perpendicular to the direction of elongation X.

[0079] In particular, the attachment section 400 comprises a profile which extends between the two end faces and is connected, in a fixed connection, with the base by means of the connection means 300.

[0080] The attachment section 400 defines a housing, called a snap-in housing 401, configured to allow insertion from the upper face and then snap-in of an anchoring clip into said attachment housing.

[0081] Furthermore, the snap-in housing may be delimited laterally by two walls 403a, 403b parallel to each other. More particularly, the two walls 403a, 403b may terminate, at the upper face, with an edge 402a, 402b folded or curved internally configured to allow the retention of an anchoring clip by snap-in.

[0082] The attachment section 400 may comprise two cylindrical channels called second holding channels 404a, 404b which extend from the first end face 103 towards the second end face 104. The second holding channels 404a, 404b may be split over their entire extension length.

[0083] The attachment section 400 may comprise reinforcing portions, in particular additional walls 405a, 405b, intended to stiffen the attachment section. These additional walls 405a, 405b may in particular be arranged on either side of the snap-in housing 401.

[0084] As illustrated in Figures 2 and 3, the connecting means may comprise two plates called, respectively, first plate 301 and second plate 302. The first plate 301 is held pressed by the first end face 103 against the base 200 and the attachment section 400. In particular, the first plate 301 is held integral with the base 200 and the attachment section 400 by means of self-tapping screws or bolts screwed into the first channels 209a, 209b and the second holding channels 404a, 404b.

[0085] Equivalently, the second plate 302 is held pressed by the second end face 104 against the base 200 and the attachment section 400. In particular, the second plate 302 is held integral with the base 200 and the attachment section 400 by means of self-tapping screws or bolts screwed into the first channels 209a, 209b and the second holding channels 404a, 404b.

[0086] The invention also relates to a holding part according to a second embodiment.

[0087] This second embodiment differs from the first embodiment essentially in that the holding part is a single piece. More particularly, the holding part 100 is formed by a profile which extends from the first end face towards the second end face.

[0088] It is understood that all of the features described below in relation to the second embodiment can also be implemented within the framework of the first embodiment.

[0089] Thus, the retaining part 100 is represented in a perspective view.

[0090] The base 200 comprises, on one of its inner faces 205, a cylindrical channel, called the central channel 210, which extends from the first end face to the second end face.

[0091] The central channel 210 can be split along its entire extension length.

[0092] Furthermore, according to this second embodiment, the base 200 and the attachment section 400 are connected to each other by a first wall 303 and a second wall 304, the first wall 303 and the second wall 304 forming the connecting means.

[0093] In particular, the first wall 303 joins, by the first lateral face 105, the base 200 and the attachment section 400. In an equivalent manner, the second wall 304 joins, by the second lateral face 106, the base 200 and the attachment section 400.

[0094] The holding part 100 may also comprise two channels, called interface channels 211a and 211b, each carried by one of the base side walls 206a, 206b.

[0096] According to this variant, the first wall 303 and the second wall 304 connect the base 200 to the two edges 402a and 402b of the attachment section 400. Still according to this variant, the first wall 303 and a second wall 304 can each be folded and carry at the level of the folding, respectively, the holding channels 404b and 404a.

[0097] The base wall 204 can also carry two channels, called additional channels, on its inner face 205, the two additional channels 212a, 212b extending in the direction X.

[0098] Equivalently, the attachment section 400 may also include additional channels 212c and 212d.
