Description

  The present invention relates to a solar device such as a solar battery panel and a solar water heater, and more particularly to a support device for fixing the solar device on a tile roof.

In recent years, with increasing interest in environmental issues such as global warming, the use of solar energy, particularly at home, has advanced. The use includes, for example, power generation by a solar cell panel and heat collection by a solar water heater.
So-called solar-powered devices such as solar cell panels and solar water heaters are generally installed on the roof of a building. Japanese houses have particularly many tiled roofs, and in order to spread the use of solar energy in the home more widely, it is necessary to devise devices for easily installing solar-powered devices on the tiled roof. .

Examples of conventional means for installing a solar-powered device on a tile roof include, for example, a means for supporting the periphery of the solar-powered device using a wire and a means for supporting the solar-powered device from below with a special metal fitting. Is known.
In the former, nails and screws are driven around the roof or the like, and a wire such as a stainless steel wire is stretched between them and the solar-powered device. The solar-powered device is supported by the tension of the wire while being placed on the roof tile.
In the latter case, a fixing bracket is struck to a structure such as a roof base material under the tile material, and a base is connected to the fixing bracket, and the solar equipment is supported by the base (FIGS. 10, 11, and 12). reference).

  In FIG. 10, the fixing bracket 29 is fixed to the roof base material 51 located under the tile material 4b. At that time, one end of the fixing bracket 29 passes through a portion where the two tile members 4a and 4b are overlapped, and protrudes above the tile member 4a. The gantry 61 is fixed to the one end of the protruding fixing metal 29 with the bolt 21. Further, the solar-powered device S is supported by the gantry 61. In addition, the upper part of the fixing metal member fixed to the roof base material may pass through a through-hole opened in the tile member covering the fixing metal member and protrude above the tile member. In that case, the gantry is fixed to the upper part of the protruding fixture.

  In FIG. 11, one piece of the tile material 4 is replaced with the support tile 70. The shape / size of the support tile 70 is matched to the shape / size of the tile material 4. As a result, the support tile 70 is fixed on the roof by being mixed with the other tile members 4 and overlapping. A support portion 71 is provided at the center of the support tile 70, and a pedestal 61 is connected to the pedestal 61 with bolts. At that time, the support tile 70 must withstand the loads of both the other tile material 4 and the solar-powered device S as a single unit. Therefore, the support tile 70 is formed with a particularly sufficient thickness from a cast product such as an aluminum alloy. As a result, the support tile 70 has a sufficiently high strength.

In FIG. 12, one piece of the tile material is removed, and thereby the fixing bracket 29 is fixed to the exposed region of the roof base material 51, and further, the metal molding tile 10 covers it (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The shape / size of the metal-molded roof tile 10 is matched to the shape / size of the other roof tiles 4a, 4b. The metal-molded roof tile 10 is mixed with the other roof tiles 4a and 4b and is connected to the fixing bracket 29. A through hole is formed in the center of the metal roof tile 10, and the mount 61 is connected to the fixing bracket 29 with a bolt through the through hole. The solar-powered device S is supported by the gantry 61. At that time, since the load of the solar-powered device S is mainly applied to the fixing bracket 29, the metal-molded roof tile 10 only needs to withstand the load of the other roof tiles 4. In particular, since the metal molding tile 10 may be thin, it is easy to insert the end portion under the roof tile material. Further, unlike the case shown in FIG. 10, for example, the space (through hole) through which the fixing fitting 29 is passed is narrow and easy to seal, so that the water stoppage is high, that is, the intrusion of rainwater is prevented.
JP 2004-03132 A

  When the surroundings of a solar-powered device are supported by a wire, for example, when the solar-powered device vibrates up and down due to strong winds, the solar-powered device collides with the tile material and breaks or slips the tile material There is a high risk of dropping. Therefore, for example, further contrivance is required, such as placing a cushioning material between the solar light utilization device and the tile material.

  As shown in FIG. 10, when one end of the fixing bracket 29 protrudes above the roof tile 4a through the space between the two roof tiles 4a and 4b, even if the fixing bracket 29 is thin, the roof tiles 4a and 4b There is a gap in the overlapping area. Therefore, in rainy weather, wind blows into the gap, and rainwater may enter under the roof tiles 4a and 4b. Similarly, when a through-hole for passing the fixing metal is opened in the roof tile, rainwater may enter from the through-hole. Therefore, a water-stopping process is further required for those installation means. In addition, since the roof tiles are easy to break, careful work is required for drilling on site.

  As shown in FIG. 11, when a high-strength support tile 70 is used, the support tile 70 cannot be crushed unlike the tile material 4, so the support tile 70 once inserted between the tile materials 4 is It is difficult to remove. Therefore, careful work is required to install the support tile 70. Furthermore, for example, when the solar-powered device S is removed for repair or the like, the removal process is complicated. In addition, since the supporting tile 70 is generally thick, it is difficult to insert it between the roof tiles 4, and skill is required for the insertion operation.

  As shown in FIG. 12, when covering the fixing bracket 29 with the metal molding tile 10, the metal molding tile 10 is thinner than the supporting tile 70 shown in FIG. In order to do this, it is necessary to lift the roof tile 4 on the ridge side once as in the case of inserting the support tile 70. Therefore, skill is required for the insertion work. Furthermore, since the metal-molded roof tile 10 is thin, there is a possibility that the metal-molded roof tile 10 may be deformed when an operator puts his / her foot on the roof tile 4b stacked thereon. The deformation can cause rainwater to enter under the roof tiles 4a and 4b. In addition, the deformation may cause the operator to lose balance and fall from the roof.

  As shown in FIGS. 10 and 12, when the fixing bracket 29 is fixed to the roof base material 51, the tile material installed at the fixing portion must first be removed. Since the tile material is usually crushed and removed by a hammer or the like, there is a possibility that the arrangement of surrounding tile materials may be disturbed by an excessive impact during crushing. Furthermore, since the tile material is generally firmly fixed to the roof base material 51 with a nail or a screw, the fixed portion, in particular, the edge of the ridge side that enters under the tile material 4b on the ridge side is difficult to be removed. . Therefore, forcibly removing the fixed portion may disturb the arrangement of surrounding tiles. In addition, because of the difficulty in removing the roof tile, there is a risk that the operator may accidentally break the end of the roof tile 4b. If the end of the eaves side of the roof tile 4b is broken, it is not preferable because rainwater enters the lower side of the roof tile 4b from the cracked portion. Therefore, careful work is required to remove the tile material.

  As described above, it is difficult for the conventional installation means to further simplify the work. Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a support device that can be used for installing solar-powered equipment on a tiled roof and can further improve the safety and workability of installation work while maintaining high water-stopping performance. To do.

The support device for solar-powered equipment according to the present invention is a support device used when installing solar-powered equipment on a tile roof,
A fixing bracket fixed to the area of the roof base material exposed by removing a part or all of the tile material, and
Including a ridge-side end inserted under the roof tile located on the ridge side of the fixing bracket, and a connection portion fixed to the fixing bracket and connected to the solar-powered device or the gantry, and A metal-molded tile covering the exposed roof base material region and at least a part of the tile material adjacent to the left and right sides thereof,
Have

  In the above supporting device according to the present invention, the metal-molded tile is preferably overlapped with other tile materials and connected to the fixing bracket. Since the space through which the fixing metal is passed is narrow and easy to seal at the connecting portion between the fixing metal and the metal molding tile, the water-stopping property is high. Furthermore, since the load of the solar-powered device is mainly applied to the fixing bracket, the metal-molded tile only needs to withstand the load of other tile materials. Therefore, the metal roof tile may be thin. At that time, it is easy to insert the ridge side end of the metal-molded tile under the tile material located on the ridge side of the fixing bracket. In particular, a part of the removed tile material (particularly, an end portion or underlap on the eaves side) may be left under the tile material located on the ridge side. In this way, the operation of removing the tile material and the operation of inserting the metal molding tile are simplified. In addition, since the end of the ridge side of the metal molding tile is supported by the remaining tile material, the load strength of the metal molding tile is further improved. In addition, since the amount of tile removal is reduced, the amount of waste is reduced.

  In the above support device according to the present invention, unlike the conventional device, the area of the roof base material exposed by removing one piece of tile material is not simply replaced with a single piece of tile material. In addition, it covers a part of the tile material adjacent to the left and right. At that time, in this metal-molded roof tile, unlike the conventional one, the edge of the ridge side is sandwiched between the tile material adjacent to the left and right and the tile material adjacent to the ridge side. Fixed by weight. That is, the ridge-side end of the metal roof tile has a structure of both-end support beams with both ends fixed. As a result, the bending rigidity of the metal-molded tile is higher when installed on the tile roof, so even if an operator accidentally puts his feet on the part of the metal-molded tile covering the area of the exposed roof base material, the metal mold Tile is hard to deform. Thus, both the safety of the installation work and the workability of the support device are improved.

  In the above support device according to the present invention, the end of the metal-molded roof tile on the ridge side is folded upward and engages (hangs) on the lower surface of the roof tile located on the ridge side with respect to the fixture. If an operator accidentally puts his / her feet on the part of the metal roof tile that covers the exposed area of the roof base material, at the end of the metal roof tile side of the ridge side, in addition to the left and right fixed parts, the turn-up It receives a force from the bottom surface of the tile material located at. Thereby, deformation of the metal molding tile is further prevented. In addition, the water-stopping property is further improved by folding upward at the ridge side end of the metal molding tile.

  In the above support device according to the present invention, preferably, the metal-molded roof tile has a substantially flat plate shape. The metal-molded roof tile can cover a substantially flat roof tile material, a so-called flat roof tile, regardless of small irregularities or gentle bends on the surface. That is, the above-described support device according to the present invention is highly versatile for flat roof tiles.

  In the above supporting device according to the present invention, preferably, the metal molding tile includes a convex portion or a concave portion in a portion covering the region of the exposed roof base material. More preferably, the metal molding tile is molded by press working. A metal-molded roof tile has a higher bending rigidity due to the presence of such convex portions or concave portions. Therefore, the above-described support device according to the present invention is further improved in installation work safety and workability. In particular, the metal-molded roof tile may include a convex portion at a connection portion between the metal roof tile and the fixture. Thereby, rainwater hardly enters from the connection portion. In addition, the convex portion or the concave portion may be formed as a corrugated or bowl-shaped curved surface or a groove.

  As described above, the support device for solar-powered equipment according to the present invention has a high water-stopping property due to the structure in which the fixing bracket is covered with the metal molding tile. Further, unlike conventional ones, the metal-molded tile is sandwiched between the tile material adjacent to the left and right and the tile material adjacent to the ridge side, and fixed with the weight of the tile material on the ridge side. The As a result, the metal-molded roof tile has high bending rigidity and is difficult to be deformed even if it is stepped on by mistake during installation. Therefore, the support device according to the present invention further improves the safety of installation work and the workability of the support device, as compared with the conventional support device.

DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The support device according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a metal roof tile and a fixing bracket. Fig. 1 shows the external appearance of the metal roof tile, and Fig. 2 shows the external appearance of the fixture.

  The metal-molded roof tile 1 is preferably formed by bending or pressing from a metal plate such as a steel plate, stainless steel plate, aluminum alloy plate or the like that has been subjected to surface treatment or coating (see FIG. 1). Here, the thickness of the metal molding tile 1 is preferably set to 0.4 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, or 1.2 mm. The metal roof tile 1 is excellent in workability and durability, and can maintain sufficient strength even if it is thin. Therefore, relatively little material is used and the weight is small. The metal-molded roof tile 1 has a substantially flat plate shape, and particularly resembles the shape of a flat roof tile. However, the width is larger than the width of the flat roof tile, preferably twice. Preferably, the central part of the metal-molded roof tile 1 includes a connection part for the fixing bracket. More preferably, the connecting portion includes a convex portion 16, and a through hole 14 is formed at the center of the convex portion 16 (see FIG. 1 (a)). In addition, the connection portion may be included in the flat plate portion of the metal mold roof tile. In this case, the through hole is opened in the flat plate portion. The end 17 on the ridge side of the metal roof tile 1 is folded back upward. On the other hand, the end portion 19 on the eaves side is bent downward similarly to the flat roof tile. Due to such a shape, the metal-molded roof tile 1 has particularly high bending rigidity in the width direction. On the back surface of the metal-molded roof tile 1, packings 18 are attached in the vicinity of both left and right ends. The packing 18 is preferably made of EPDM (ethylene propylene diene rubber), urethane, silicone rubber or a foam thereof (see FIG. 1 (b)).

  The fixture 2 is preferably formed from a metal plate such as a steel plate, a stainless steel plate, or an aluminum alloy plate subjected to surface treatment or painting by bending or pressing (see FIG. 2). The fixing bracket 2 has a load strength that can support the weight of the solar device. The fixture 2 is preferably substantially “U” -shaped, and is roughly divided into an upper surface portion 5, a support column portion 6, and a leg portion 8. Bolts 21 are fixed to the upper surface portion 5. The bolt 21 is inserted into a gantry (not shown) of the solar-powered device, and the nut 22 is further tightened, whereby the fixing bracket 2 is connected to the gantry. Preferably, two ring-shaped packings 23A and 23B are inserted between the nut 22 and the upper surface portion 5. In that case, the frame is sandwiched between the two packings 23A and 23B, and the nut 22 is fastened from above. A screw hole 8a is formed in the leg 8. The wood screws 24 are screwed into the roof base material (preferably a base plate, not shown) through the screw holes 8a, whereby the fixing bracket 2 is fixed to the roof base material.

  The support device according to the embodiment of the present invention is used for installing solar-powered equipment on a tile roof that is covered with flat tiles as shown in FIG. In a tiled roof, generally, horizontal roof tiles 52 are arranged at regular intervals from the eaves to the ridge on a roof base material (preferably a field plate) 51 (in FIG. 3, a part of the tile material is removed, The roof base material 51 and the tiles 52 are shown). The flat roof tile 4 generally includes an underlap 42 at the left (or right) end (the illustration of a part of the roof tile is omitted in FIG. 3 and is normally hidden under the other roof tile). An end 41 and an underlap 42 are shown). The end 41 on the ridge side is fixed to the roof bar 52 with a tile screw 3 (preferably wood screw), and the end 43 on the eaves side of the tile material adjacent to the ridge side is overlaid thereon (see FIG. 7). Overlying the underlap 42 is the right end 44 of the tile adjacent to the left side (see FIG. 3. In FIGS. 7-9, for the sake of clarity of illustration, the right and left ends of the tile shown in the cross section are overlapped. Other adjacent tiles are not shown). For example, the right end of the tile 4f adjacent to the left side of the underlap of the tile 4b overlaps. The same applies to the three tiles 4e, 4c, 4d arranged in the horizontal direction. Furthermore, since each row of tiles arranged in the horizontal direction is alternately shifted left and right by the half width of one tile, both tiles on the ridge side overlap each other. For example, two tile materials 4b and 4f overlap on the ridge side end of the tile material 4c. Similarly, two tile materials 4c and 4d on the ridge side overlap with the tile material 4a. In this way, by overlapping each tile material with the adjacent tile material, the tile material on the eave side is stabilized by the weight of the tile material on the ridge side, and rainwater infiltrates from below the tile material to the lower side of the tile material. Hateful.

On the tile roof portion as shown in FIG. 3, the metal-molded tile 1 and the fixture 2 are installed as follows.
First, one tile 4c is cracked and removed (see FIGS. 4 and 8. Note that in FIG. 8, the tile 4e located on the left side of the removed tile 4c is shown for clarity of illustration. It has not been). Here, out of the tile material 4c to be removed, the ridge-side end portion 41 located below the eave-side end portion 43 of the tile materials 4b and 4f adjacent to the ridge side may be left. In that case, the risk that the tile material other than the tile material 4c to be removed is accidentally cracked is reduced. Further, complicated work such as pulling out the tile screws 3 while lifting the roof tile materials 4b and 4f on the ridge side is unnecessary. In this way, the operation of removing the roof tile 4c is simplified. In addition, since the amount of tile removal is reduced, the amount of waste is reduced.

  Next, the fixing bracket 2 is fixed with a wood screw 24 at substantially the center of the region 51A of the roof base material 51 exposed by removing the tile material 4c (see FIGS. 2 and 5). Subsequently, the ridge side end 17 of the metal-molded roof tile 1 is inserted under the eaves side end 43 of the roof tiles 4b and 4f located on the ridge side of the fixing bracket 2 (see FIGS. 5, 6, and 9). ). At that time, the left side portion 1A of the end portion 17 on the ridge side is sandwiched and fixed between the tile members 4e and 4f, and the right side portion 1B is sandwiched and fixed between the tile members 4b and 4d. When the ridge-side end 41 of the removed tile 4c remains, the central portion 1C of the ridge-side end 17 of the metal-molded tile 1 is connected to the ridge-side end 41 of the remaining tile 4c. It is sandwiched and fixed between the two tiles 4b and 4f that overlap. In particular, since the edge 17 on the ridge side of the metal-molded roof tile 1 is folded upward, it is caught by the lower surfaces of the roof tiles 4b and 4f that overlap therewith. As a result, rainwater entering from between the eaves-side ends of the tiles 4b and 4f and the metal-molded tile 1 is stopped at the ridge-side end 17 of the metal-molded tile 1. In addition, the edge 17 on the ridge side of the metal-molded tile 1 functions as a so-called retainer, that is, receives a large resistance force from the lower surfaces of the tile members 4b and 4f, so that the stability of the metal-molded tile 1 is further improved. .

  Further, the convex portion 16 of the metal-molded roof tile 1 covers the fixing bracket 2, and the bolt 21 of the fixing bracket 2 protrudes upward through the through hole 14 of the convex portion 16 (see FIG. 6). In this way, the metal-molded tile 1 is connected to the fixing bracket 2, and together with the exposed region 51A of the roof base material 51, the right half of the tile material 4d adjacent to the left side and the left half of the tile material 4e adjacent to the right side thereof. cover. Here, in the connection part between the metal-molded roof tile 1 and the fixing bracket 2, since the through hole 14 is opened on the upper surface of the projection 16, the rainwater that flows down the surfaces of the roof tiles 4b and 4f adjacent to the ridge side Is difficult to reach the through hole 14. That is, the convex portion 16 prevents rainwater from entering from the through hole 14 to the lower side of the metal roof tile 1. On the other hand, since the packing 18 (see FIG. 1 (b)) attached to the back surface of the metal-molded tile 1 is in close contact with the surfaces of the tile materials 4d and 4e adjacent to the left and right of the metal-molded tile 1, Infiltration of rainwater from the left and right ends to the lower side is prevented. In addition, even if the underlap 42 (see Fig. 5) of the adjacent tile 4d is accidentally broken on the right side during the removal of the tile 4c, the packing 18 prevents rainwater from entering. The water-stopping property is kept high. In addition, the edge 19 on the eave side of the metal-molded tile 1 is folded downward, so that it is difficult to lift by the wind blowing up the roof surface from the eave side (see FIGS. 1, 6 and 9).

Finally, the vertical rack 61 and the horizontal rack 62 are placed on the convex portion 16 of the metal molding tile 1 and connected to the metal molding tile 1 and the fixture 2. Further, the nut 22 is fastened to the bolt 21 so that the vertical rack 61 is fixed to the fixing bracket 2. The vertical rack 61 and the horizontal rack 62 are mounts for the solar-powered device S. In FIG. 9, the vertical rack 61 supports the horizontal rack 62, and the solar-powered equipment S is supported by the horizontal rack 62. In addition, the horizontal rack 62 or the solar-powered device S itself may be connected to the fixing bracket 2. In this way, the connecting portion between the metal-molded roof tile 1 and the fixing bracket 2 (particularly the convex portion 16 of the metal-molding roof tile 1) is connected to the solar-powered device S or its mount 61, 62 and the fixing bracket 2. Also used as a part.
Preferably, a packing 23A is sandwiched between the nut 22 and the upper surface of the vertical rack 61, and a packing 23B is sandwiched between the lower surface of the vertical rack 61 and the upper surface of the convex portion 16 of the metal roof tile 1. . As a result, intrusion of rainwater from the periphery of the bolt 21 to the lower side of the metal molding tile 1 is prevented.

  Since the load of the solar-powered device S is mainly applied to the fixing bracket 2, the metal-molded roof tile 1 only needs to withstand the load applied mainly from the roof tile materials 4b and 4f. Particularly in the support device according to the embodiment of the present invention, the metal-molded tile 1 covers a part of the tile materials 4d and 4e adjacent to the left and right in addition to the region 51A of the roof base material 51 exposed by the removal of the tile material 4c. (See Figures 5 and 6). As a result, the metal-molded roof tile 1 can be regarded as a both-end support beam supported by the left and right roof tiles 4d and 4e. In particular, the end 17 on the ridge side is sandwiched between the tile materials 4d and 4e adjacent to the left and right and the tile materials 4b and 4f adjacent to the ridge side, and is further fixed by the weight of the tile materials 4b and 4f on the ridge side. The Therefore, the metal molding tile 1 has high bending rigidity. When the ridge-side end 41 of the tile material 4c to be removed is left, the ridge-side end 17 of the metal-molded tile 1 is supported by the remaining portion 41, and the ridge-side tile material 4b Since the weight is fixed at 4f, the load strength of the metal molding tile 1 is further improved. As a result, even if an operator mistakenly puts his / her foot on the metal molding tile 1, the metal molding tile 1 is difficult to deform.

Since the end 17 on the ridge side of the metal roof tile 1 is folded upward (see FIG. 1), it is caught by the lower surface of the tiles 4b and 4f located on the ridge side from the fixing bracket 2 (FIGS. 5, 6, and 9). reference). If an operator accidentally puts his / her feet on the metal roof tile 1, the end 17 on the wing side of the metal roof tile 1 is located on the ridge side in addition to the left and right fixed portions 1A and 1B. Force is received from the lower surface of the tiles 4b and 4f. Thereby, the deformation of the metal molding tile 1 is further prevented.
Thus, the support device according to the embodiment of the present invention has both high installation work safety and workability.

  In addition to having a shape that is long in the width direction, the metal-molded roof tile 1 has a shape in which the end 17 on the ridge side is folded upward and a convex portion 16 is formed in the center, so that the width direction High bending rigidity. The metal-molded roof tile 1 may further enhance the bending rigidity in the width direction by including other convex portions or concave portions in place of the convex portions 16 or in addition to the convex portions 16. For example, a ridge or a groove may be provided in a part of the metal molding tile. In addition, the overall shape of the metal roof tile may be a corrugated curved surface or a curved surface in which a plurality of ridges and grooves are connected. Furthermore, a plurality of irregularities may be formed on the entire surface of the metal roof tile, preferably by embossing.

In the supporting apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, the metal-molded roof tile 1 has a substantially flat plate shape. Therefore, the metal-molded roof tile 1 can cover a wide variety of flat roof tiles regardless of the details of the shape of the surface. That is, the support device according to the embodiment of the present invention has high versatility for flat roof tiles.
Apart from the above embodiment, the support device according to the present invention may be used, for example, for installation of solar-powered equipment on a roof tiled with Japanese tiles. In that case, the shape of the metal-molded tile is processed in accordance with a shape unique to the tile material placed on the roof to be installed, such as a wavy curved surface of a Japanese tile. As a result, the metal-molded roof tiles are closely attached to the roof tiles located on the left and right sides thereof, so that the water stoppage is maintained high.

  The present invention relates to a support device for solar-powered equipment, and as described above, the shape of the metal-molded tile is devised. Thus, the present invention is clearly industrially applicable.
