Solar Module Securing Member With Adjustable Bolt Slot Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing securing members for solar battery modules require specific configurations on both the modules and the roof tiles, leading to increased complexity, labor, and cost, as well as limitations in adjustability and compatibility with various roof materials.
Innovation Solution
A securing member with a flat plate-like base and top board supported by top board portions, featuring a long hole for bolt insertion and a securing hole aligned with the bolt's axis, allowing for adjustable positioning and secure fastening without requiring specific module configurations, and accommodating various supporting members and cable management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If long crosspieces are used to secure solar battery modules on roof tiles, then the solar battery module can be secured onto the roof, but a large amount of labor and time are required for adjusting the positions and the number of parts is increased
Solution Approach 1:
The long crosspiece is divided into multiple short securing members that can be independently positioned and installed. Each securing member has a limited length suitable for specific roof tile pitches, eliminating the need to adjust long crosspieces and reducing installation time while maintaining securing strength through multiple distributed connection points.
Solution Approach 2:
The securing member incorporates an adjustable positioning mechanism that allows flexible placement at different positions along the roof tile surface. This dynamic positioning capability enables adaptation to various solar battery module sizes and roof configurations without requiring multiple different长度的 crosspieces, reducing both installation time and part complexity.
2Reliability
If long crosspieces are used to secure solar battery modules on roof tiles, then the solar battery module can be secured onto the roof, but the number of parts is increased and cost is also increased
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of using one long crosspiece that requires multiple connection points, the system uses multiple short securing members that can be independently installed. This segmentation reduces the total number of parts needed while distributing securing strength across multiple locations, simplifying the overall structure and reducing cost.
Solution Approach 2:
The securing member is designed as a universal component that can be used across different roof tile types and solar battery module configurations. By making the securing member multi-functional and adaptable through its positioning mechanism, the system reduces the variety of different parts needed, thereby reducing overall device complexity and cost.
3Ease of operation
If the securing member is mounted directly on the roof tile, then the installation is simplified, but the position at which the securing member should be mounted overlaps with a position where the securing member cannot be mounted depending on roof tile pitch
Solution Approach 1:
The securing member incorporates an adjustable positioning mechanism that allows it to be mounted at multiple different positions along the roof tile surface. This dynamic positioning capability enables the securing member to adapt to various roof tile pitches and configurations, maintaining ease of installation while improving versatility across different mounting scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The securing member is designed with adjustable parameters including position along the tile, orientation angle, and mounting depth. By allowing these parameters to be changed based on the specific roof tile configuration, the securing member can be installed directly on various roof tile types without overlapping restricted areas, maintaining both installation ease and adaptability.

AI summary
A securing member includes a flat base portion, a flat top board portion which is supported by a pair of top board supporting portions erected on the base portion, a long hole which penetrates through the top board portion and of which both ends are closed, a bolt having a head which does not pass through the long hole, and of which shaft is inserted through the long hole in a state where the head is located lower than the top board portion and is to be inserted through a supporting hole provided on a supporting member of a solar battery module, a head insertion hole through which the head of the bolt passes, penetrates through the top board portion, and communicates with the long hole, securing holes which are located on a line obtained by projecting a center line of the long hole, and penetrate through the base portion.
