Background

Solar power generation is one of the technologies in green power generation. The conventional solar module is assembled with a frame body by a fixture to fix a solar panel on the frame body. However, the jig used in the conventional solar module needs to be inserted from the rear end of the outer side of the frame, and a lot of assembly time is consumed for a large-scale layout. In addition, the parts of the conventional jig are often too scattered and can be assembled only with the frame on site, which also increases the assembly time. Therefore, the structure of the existing solar module still needs to be improved.

Detailed Description

The following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings and specific examples is provided for further understanding the objects, aspects and effects of the present invention, but not for limiting the scope of the appended claims.

The invention provides a clamp which is arranged on a frame body to clamp a plate-shaped element. The plate-shaped element is, for example, a solar panel, but not limited thereto. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of a fixture 10 of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the clamping apparatus 10 includes a clamping base 110, a rod 130, and a pressing block 150. The holder 110 has a first wall 111 and a second wall 112. The first supporting wall 111 has a first free end 111a, and a first hook 113 is formed on the first free end 111 a. The second supporting wall 112 is disposed opposite to the first supporting wall 111, and has a second free end 112a opposite to the first free end 111 a. The second free end 112a is formed with a second hook 114. The rod 130 passes through the holder 110 to move between the first supporting wall 111 and the second supporting wall 112. The pressing block 150 is disposed on the rod 130 and located on a side of the rod 130 that does not pass through the clamping seat 110. The press block 150 moves with the rod 130 toward or away from the holder 110. In other words, when the rod 130 moves toward the clamping seat 110, the rod 130 drives the pressing block 150 to move toward the clamping seat 110. When the rod 130 moves away from the holder 110, the rod 130 also drives the pressing block 150 to move away from the holder 110.

Fig. 2 is an exploded view of the clamp 10. As shown in fig. 2, the rod 130 has a first end 131 and a second end 132 opposite to the first end 131. The rod 130 has threads 136 thereon proximate the first end 131 and the second end 132 has a flange 134. The holder 110 and the pressing block 150 have a through hole 116 and a through hole 156, respectively, for the rod 130 to pass through. Specifically, the holder 110 includes a top plate 115, and a first supporting wall 111 and a second supporting wall 112 respectively extend from opposite ends of the top plate 115 in the same direction (substantially along the axial direction a) to form a gate-shaped structure. The top plate 115 has a through hole 116, and the first end 131 of the rod 130 passes through the holder 110 to move between the first and

second support walls

111 and 112 along the axial direction a. Preferably, the wall of the through hole 116 of the holder 110 has threads corresponding to the threads 136 on the rod 130, so that the rod 130 can be fixed with the holder 110 after passing through the holder 110.

Fig. 3 is a side view of the clamp 10 corresponding to fig. 1. As shown in fig. 3, the rod 130 passes through the pressing block 150 and the clamping base 110 to form the clamp 10. The pressing block 150 is disposed on the rod 130 and below the flange 134. If the top plate 115 of the clamping holder 110 is taken as a reference position, the pressing block 150 is located on the other side of the clamping holder 110 opposite to the first end 131, that is, the pressing block 150 and the first end 131 of the rod 130 are respectively located on the opposite sides of the top plate 150.

As shown in fig. 3, the first supporting wall 111 has a first inner surface 111b facing the second supporting wall 112, a first elastic sheet 117 is disposed on the first inner surface 111b, and the first elastic sheet 117 is bent to form a first guiding surface 117 a. In detail, one side of the first elastic sheet 117 is connected to the first inner surface 111b, and one side of the first elastic sheet away from the first inner surface 111b is formed into a bent shape, and a surface of the bent portion facing away from the first inner surface 111b serves as a first guide surface 117 a. Similarly, the second supporting wall 112 has a second inner surface 112b facing the first supporting wall 111, a second elastic sheet 118 is disposed on the second inner surface 112b, and the second elastic sheet 118 is bent to form a second guiding surface 118 a. One side of the second elastic sheet 118 is connected to the second inner surface 112b, and one side away from the second inner surface 112b is formed into a bent shape, and a surface of the bent portion facing away from the second inner surface 112b serves as a second guide surface 118 a. As shown in fig. 3, the first guide surface 117a of the first branch wall 111 and the second guide surface 118a of the second branch wall 112 are opposite to each other. The first guiding surface 117a and the second guiding surface 118a have a distance U1 at a position far away from the first free end 111a and the second free end 112a, and the first guiding surface 117a and the second guiding surface 118a have a distance U2 at a position near the first free end 111a and the second free end 112a, and the distance U1 is greater than the distance U2. In other words, the distance between the first guide surface 117a and the second guide surface 118a decreases as the distance between the first free end 111a and the second free end 112a decreases.

In addition, in the embodiment of fig. 3, the first hook 113 and the second hook 114 have opposite opening directions, respectively. Referring to fig. 1 and 3, the opening is a space formed between the end of the hook and one end of the hook connecting with the supporting wall, where the hook deviates from the surface of the supporting wall due to the bending or protruding shape. The opening directions of the first hook 113 and the second hook 114 are respectively outward. As shown in fig. 3, the opening 113a of the first hook 113 faces a side opposite to the first inner surface 111b, and the opening 114a of the second hook 114 faces a side opposite to the second inner surface 112 b.

Fig. 4A to 4E are schematic diagrams illustrating the combination of the jig 10 and the frame 20. In the plate-like component assembly system 1 shown in fig. 4A, the fixture 10 is assembled with the frame 20 through the holder 110. The jig 10 is combined with the frame 20 and is movable in the direction C relative to the frame 20 to adjust the position. In a preferred embodiment, the jig 10 can be directly assembled with the frame 20 at a predetermined position, rather than being inserted into the jig 10 from the rear end 21 of the frame 20, thereby saving the time of the assembly process. In addition, when the clip 10 of the present invention is combined with the frame 20, the first supporting wall 111 and the second supporting wall 112 of the clip 10 are pressed or are guided by the outer curved surface of the hook 113 to be forced into the guide rail, so that the hook and the guide rail can be fastened and fixed, and the combination is convenient. In the present embodiment, all the components (e.g., the pressing block 150, the rod 130, and the clamping base 110) of the fixture 10 can be pre-assembled into the fixture 10 before being assembled with the frame 20, without separating the individual components to be assembled with the frame 20, thereby saving the assembling time.

As shown in fig. 4B, the plate-like element assembly system 1 includes a jig 10 and a frame 20. The frame body 20 has a first guide rail 201 and a second guide rail 202 extending in parallel (referring to fig. 4A, the first guide rail 201 and the second guide rail 202 are parallel to each other and extend in the direction C). As shown in fig. 4B, the first hook 113 and the second hook 114 are engaged with the first guide rail 201 and the second guide rail 202, respectively, so that the clip 10 is assembled to the frame 20. In addition, the pressing block 150 has a pressing surface 152, and the pressing surface 152 is opposed to the top plate 115 to be commonly sandwiched as a clamping space t. Specifically, the range of the clamping space t is between the pressing surface 152 and the guide rail of the housing 20. The clamping space t may be used to receive an end of the plate-shaped member and fix the plate-shaped member with the pressing block 150 and the frame 20.

The rod 130 passes through the holder 110 to move the first end 131 between the first and

second walls

111 and 112 at the first and second positions p1 and p 2. As shown in fig. 4B, when the first end 131 moves to the second position p2 between the first and

second walls

111 and 112, a gap s is formed between the first end 131 and the first and

second walls

111 and 112, respectively. Fig. 4C is an enlarged view of the first guide rail 201 shown in fig. 4B. As shown in fig. 4C, the first hook 113 is engaged with the first rail 201, and a gap is formed between the first hook 113 and the first rail 201. As shown in fig. 4D, when the first end 131 moves to the first position p1 between the first supporting wall 111 and the second supporting wall 112, the first end 131 presses the first supporting wall 111 and the second supporting wall 112 to expand outward. In detail, the first end 131 presses the first guide surface 117a and the second guide surface 118a, and slides downward along the first guide surface 117a and the second guide surface 118a, so that the first supporting wall 111 and the second supporting wall 112 are gradually expanded outward. Fig. 4E is an enlarged view of the first guide rail 201 shown in fig. 4D. When the first end presses the first guiding surface to expand the first supporting wall, as shown in fig. 4E, the first hook 113 moves toward the direction B, so that the first hook 113 abuts against the first guiding rail 201, thereby increasing the fixing strength between the clip and the frame.

In other embodiments, the elastic sheet can be selectively arranged on one of the first supporting wall and the second supporting wall, and the other supporting wall is not provided with the elastic sheet. Therefore, when the rod piece moves to the first position, the supporting wall provided with the elastic sheet is pressed, and the purpose of fixing the clamp and the frame body can be achieved. As shown in fig. 5, the first inner surface 111b of the first supporting wall 111 is provided with a first elastic sheet 117, and the second supporting wall 112 is not provided with an elastic sheet. The first end of the lever 130 has a flange 133. When the lever 130 moves to the first position, the lever 130 presses the elastic piece 117 on the first supporting wall 111 to slide downward along the first guiding surface 117a, and the flange 133 presses the first guiding surface 117 a. Since the first guide surface 117a is inclined toward the center between the first and second support walls 111 and 112 (approximately along the axial direction of the rod 130) in the direction away from the top plate 115, the flange 133 can slide downward along the first guide surface 117a to expand the first support wall 111.

Fig. 6 and 7 are schematic diagrams of embodiments of the clamp 10 having different elastic elements 120. As shown in fig. 6, the jig 10 includes an elastic member 120, and a spring is used as the elastic member 120, for example. As shown in fig. 7, the jig 10 includes an elastic member 120, and a rubber ring is used as the elastic member 120. As shown in fig. 6 and 7, the elastic member 120 is disposed between the top plate 115 and the pressing piece 150, and the pressing piece 150 is disposed between the flange 134 and the elastic member 120. The elastic element 120 can support the pressing block 150 to maintain a fixed horizontal height so as to facilitate the assembly of the clamp and the frame. In addition, when the adjustment rod 130 is lifted to release the clamping, the elastic element 120 can also lift the pressing block 150 to a proper position.

Fig. 8A to 8C are schematic assembly diagrams of the plate-like element assembly system 1. As shown in fig. 8A, the jig 10 is combined with the frame 20 via the holder 110. The jig 10 is combined with the frame 20 and is movable in the direction C relative to the frame 20 to adjust the position. The plate-shaped members 30 are disposed on the frame 20 and located at both sides of the jig 10.

As shown in fig. 8B, the plate-like members 30 are disposed on both sides of the jig 10 and on the frame 20. When the first end 131 moves to the second position p2, the rod 130 does not press the first and

second walls

111 and 112, and the pressing surface 152 is separated from the plate-like element 30 by a certain distance. As shown in fig. 8C, when the first end 131 moves to the first position p1, the rod 130 presses the first and

second walls

111 and 112 outward, and the pressing surface 152 contacts the plate-like member 30. The rod 130 is fixed to the holder 110 (e.g., by the first end threads and the through hole) and the pressing block 150 is limited by the flange 134, so that the pressing block 150 and the frame 20 clamp the positioning plate-like member 30 together.

Fig. 9 is a side view of another embodiment of the plate element assembling system 1. The difference from the previous embodiment is that the hooks of the holder have different opening directions. As shown in fig. 9, the first hook 113 and the second hook 114 have opposite opening directions, and the opening directions of the first hook 113 and the second hook 114 are respectively inward. As shown in fig. 9, the opening 113a of the first hook 113 faces the second inner surface 112b, and the opening 114a of the second hook 114 faces the first inner surface 111 b.

Fig. 10 is an exploded view of another embodiment of the clamp 10. As shown in fig. 10, the clamping apparatus 10 includes a clamping base 110, an elastic element 120, a rod member 130, a polygonal nut 140, and a pressing block 150. The holder 110 has a first wall 111 and a second wall 112. The first supporting wall 111 has a first free end 111a, and a first hook 113 is formed on the first free end 111 a. The second supporting wall 112 is disposed opposite to the first supporting wall 111, and has a second free end 112a opposite to the first free end 111 a. The second free end 112a is formed with a second hook 114. The rod 130 has a first end 131 and a second end 132 opposite to the first end 131. The rod 130 has threads 136 extending to the first end 131 and the second end 132 has a flange 134. The elastic element 120 may be, for example, a spring, which is disposed on the rod 130.

As shown in fig. 10, the holder 110 and the pressing block 150 respectively have a through hole 116 and a through hole 156 for the rod 130 to pass through. Specifically, the first end 131 of the rod 130 passes through the holder 110 to move between the first and

second support walls

111 and 112 along the axial direction a. The through hole 116 of the holder 110 has a thread corresponding to the thread 136 of the rod 130, so that the rod 130 can be fixed to the holder 110 after passing through the holder 110. In addition, the through hole of the polygonal nut 140 also has threads, so that the polygonal nut 140 can be screwed on the threads 136 of the first end 131.

Fig. 11 is a side view of the clamp 10 corresponding to fig. 10. As shown in fig. 11, the rod passes through the pressing block 150 and the clamping base 110, and passes through one end (i.e., the first end) of the clamping base 110 to be combined with the polygonal nut 140 to constitute the clamp 10. The pressing block 150 is disposed on the rod 130 and below the flange 134. If the top plate 115 of the clamping holder 110 is used as a reference position, the pressing block 150 is located on the other side of the clamping holder 110 opposite to the first end 131, that is, the pressing block 150 and the first end 131 of the rod 130 are respectively located on the opposite sides of the top plate 115. In addition, the elastic member 120 is disposed between the top plate 115 and the pressing piece 150, and the pressing piece 150 is disposed between the flange 134 and the elastic member 120. The elastic element 120 can support the pressing block 150 to maintain a fixed horizontal height so as to facilitate the assembly of the clamp 10 and the frame.

As shown in fig. 11, the first support wall 111 has a first inner surface 111b facing the second support wall 112, and the first inner surface 111b serves as a first guide surface. Similarly, the second branch wall 112 has a second inner face 112b facing the first branch wall 111, and the second inner face 112b serves as a second guide face. As shown in fig. 11, the first guide surface (first inner surface 111b) of the first branch wall 111 and the second guide surface (second inner surface 112b) of the second branch wall 112 face each other. The first guide surface (the first inner surface 111b) and the second guide surface (the second inner surface 112b) have a distance U1 between them at a position far from the first free end 111a and the second free end 112a, and the first guide surface and the second guide surface have a distance U2 between them at a position near the first free end 111a and the second free end 112a, and the distance U1 is smaller than the distance U2. In other words, the distance between the first guide surface and the second guide surface is larger as the distance is closer to the first free end 111a and the second free end 112 a.

In general, the first supporting wall 111 and the second supporting wall 112 form a shape with a narrow top and a wide bottom, and when the rod 130 drives the polygonal nut 140 to move upward between the first supporting wall 111 and the second supporting wall 112, the first supporting wall 111 and the second supporting wall 112 can limit the rotation angle of the polygonal nut 140 to less than 180 degrees. When the rod 130 cannot move downward due to the engagement of the pressing block 150 and the plate-shaped element, the polygonal nut 140 cannot rotate more than 180 degrees, so that the rotation of the rod 130 drives the polygonal nut 140 to move upward. The rod 130 can be pressed by the polygonal nut 140 to press the first and second guiding surfaces to expand the first and second supporting

walls

111 and 112. However, in different embodiments, the first supporting wall 111 and the second supporting wall 112 may be configured on the inner surface to form a channel with a narrow top and a wide bottom corresponding to the polygonal nut 140, and the first supporting wall 111 and the second supporting wall 112 themselves are not necessarily configured with a narrow top and a wide bottom.

In addition, in the embodiment of fig. 11, the first hook 113 and the second hook 114 have opposite opening directions, and the opening directions of the first hook 113 and the second hook 114 face outward. As shown in fig. 11, the opening 113a of the first hook 113 faces a side opposite to the first inner surface 111b, and the opening of the second hook 114 faces a side opposite to the second inner surface 112 b.

Fig. 12A to 12B are schematic assembly diagrams of the plate-like element assembly system 1. As shown in fig. 12A, the plate-like members 30 are provided on both sides of the jig 10 and on the frame 20. The first hook 113 and the second hook 114 are engaged with the first guide rail 201 and the second guide rail 202, respectively, so that the clip 10 is assembled to the frame 20. For example, when the clip 10 is combined with the frame 20, the first supporting wall 111 and the second supporting wall 112 of the clip 10 can be fixed by the hook and the rail.

The rod 130 passes through the holder 110 to move between the first and second positions between the first and

second walls

111 and 112. As shown in fig. 12A, when the first end 131 moves to the second position p2, the rod 130 does not press the first and

second walls

111 and 112, and the pressing surface 152 is separated from the plate-like element 30 by a distance. As shown in fig. 12B, when the rod 130 is rotated, the thread 136 drives the polygonal nut 140 to move away from the first free end 111a and the second free end 112 a. When the first end 131 moves to the first position p1, the rod 130 is pressed by the polygonal nut 140 to expand the first guide surface (the first inner surface 111b) of the first supporting wall 111 and the second guide surface (the second inner surface 112b) of the second supporting wall 112, and the pressing surface 152 contacts the plate-like member 30. The rod 130 is fixed to the holder 110 and the pressing block 150 is limited by the flange 134, so that the pressing block 150 and the frame 20 jointly fix the plate-like member 30.

The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof, and it should be understood that various changes and modifications can be effected therein by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
