In addition, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that many changes, modifications, variations, and equivalents of the embodiments do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

ある実施形態においては、本発明は、汎用型の支柱等の支持構造物に光電池組立品を設置するキットを提供する。前記キットは、１個以上の係合部材及び保持部材を有する。前記複数の係合部材は、光電池組立品自体に取り付けることができて、前記保持部材は前記支持構造物に取り付けることができる。前記保持部材は、前記係合部材の形状に合うように構成され、前記光電池組立品を、複数の係合部材を用いて、前記支持構造物に前もって取り付けた前記保持部材に固定することができる。こうして前記保持部材に設置した前記光電池組立品は、次に、必要な金属部材類を用いて前記支持構造物に取り付けることができる。   In one embodiment, the present invention provides a kit for installing a photovoltaic cell assembly on a support structure such as a general-purpose column. The kit has one or more engaging members and holding members. The plurality of engaging members can be attached to the photovoltaic cell assembly itself, and the holding member can be attached to the support structure. The holding member is configured to match the shape of the engaging member, and the photovoltaic cell assembly can be fixed to the holding member previously attached to the support structure using a plurality of engaging members. . The photovoltaic cell assembly thus installed on the holding member can then be attached to the support structure using the necessary metal members.

図１（ａ）及び（ｂ）は、係合部材１００及び保持部材１０６をそれぞれ示す斜視図である。係合部材１００及び保持部材１０６は両方ともに、これに限定されるわけではないが、例えば汎用型の支柱等の支持構造物（図示なし）に光電池組立品（図示なし）を設置するのを容易にするキットの一部を構成する。また、ある実施形態では、図１（ａ）に示すように、係合部材１００はＳ字型形状のフック形である。係合部材１００は、図３を参照して後で述べるように、係合部材１００を光電池組立品に取り付けるために用いるホール１０２及び１０４を有していることがわかる。この取り付けは、これに限定されるわけではないが、ボルト及びナットの組合せを用いて行なうことができる。また、図８の例に示すように、これらの係合部材３１０及び３１２を用いて保持部材１０６に光電池組立品を取り付けられる方法で、係合部材１００と同様にして１個以上の係合部材を前記光電池組立品に取り付ける。また、保持部材１０６の形状及び構造は、係合部材１００と同様にして係合部材を用いて前記光電池組立品を保持部材１０６にしっかり架かるように、係合部材１００の形状に合わせるようにする。更に、保持部材１０６の前記形状及び構造は、支持構造物上に前記光電池組立品が所望の如く一列に並ぶように形成する。こうして、予め支持構造物上に設置した保持部材１０６の上に、前記光電池組立品を設置した後、図７及び図８に示すように、前記光電池組立品を支持構造物に固定し、上記設置作業を完了する。なお、図８は、保持部材１０６及び光電池組立品３００を、連結部材を介して支持構造物に取り付ける、本発明の一実施形態を示す。この連結部材については、図２を参照されたい。   FIGS. 1A and 1B are perspective views showing the engaging member 100 and the holding member 106, respectively. Both the engaging member 100 and the holding member 106 are not limited to this. For example, it is easy to install a photovoltaic cell assembly (not shown) on a support structure (not shown) such as a general-purpose column. Make up part of the kit. In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1A, the engaging member 100 has an S-shaped hook shape. It can be seen that the engagement member 100 has holes 102 and 104 that are used to attach the engagement member 100 to the photovoltaic assembly, as will be described later with reference to FIG. This attachment can be done using a combination of bolts and nuts, but is not limited to this. In addition, as shown in the example of FIG. 8, one or more engaging members can be mounted in the same manner as the engaging member 100 by attaching the photovoltaic cell assembly to the holding member 106 using these engaging members 310 and 312. Is attached to the photovoltaic cell assembly. Further, the shape and structure of the holding member 106 is made to match the shape of the engaging member 100 so that the photovoltaic cell assembly is securely mounted on the holding member 106 using the engaging member in the same manner as the engaging member 100. . Further, the shape and structure of the holding member 106 are formed so that the photovoltaic cell assemblies are aligned in a row as desired on the support structure. Thus, after the photovoltaic cell assembly is installed on the holding member 106 previously installed on the support structure, the photovoltaic cell assembly is fixed to the support structure as shown in FIGS. Complete the work. FIG. 8 shows an embodiment of the present invention in which the holding member 106 and the photovoltaic cell assembly 300 are attached to a support structure via a connecting member. Refer to FIG. 2 for the connecting member.

また、ある実施形態では、光電池組立品を２個の係合部材を用い、保持部材１０６上に設置する。なお、各係合部材は係合部材１００と同様の部材である。また、係合部材１００は、打ち抜き加工、押し出し加工、切削加工、成形加工、鋳造加工またはこれら加工の組み合わせ等の技術によって製造する。また、係合部材１００の形状、係合部材１００の製造方法、係合部材１００の光電池組立品への取り付け方法、及び光電池組立品に取り付けた係合部材の個数が、上記で説明した内容以外にも可能であることは、当業者にとっては自明である。   In one embodiment, the photovoltaic cell assembly is installed on the holding member 106 using two engaging members. Each engaging member is the same member as the engaging member 100. The engaging member 100 is manufactured by a technique such as punching, extrusion, cutting, molding, casting, or a combination of these. Further, the shape of the engaging member 100, the manufacturing method of the engaging member 100, the attaching method of the engaging member 100 to the photovoltaic cell assembly, and the number of engaging members attached to the photovoltaic cell assembly are other than those described above. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that this is possible.

また、ある実施形態では、保持部材１０６は図１（ｂ）に示すように、吊り金具の形状をしている。この保持部材１０６は、支持構造物に保持部材１０６の取り付けるように、また、ある実施形態では、図５及び図６から、連結部材２００を介して前記支持構造物に保持部材１０６を取り付けるように、ホール１０８を備えていることがわかる。保持部材１０６は、打ち抜き加工、押し出し加工、切削加工、成形加工、鋳造加工またはこれら加工の組み合わせ等の技術によって製造する。なお、保持部材１０６の製造方法、及び保持部材１０６を前記支持構造物に取り付ける方法は、上記方法以外の方法でも行えることは、当業者にとっては容易に理解できよう。   In one embodiment, the holding member 106 has a shape of a hanging metal fitting as shown in FIG. The holding member 106 is attached to the support structure, and in an embodiment, from FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the holding member 106 is attached to the support structure via the connecting member 200. It can be seen that a hole 108 is provided. The holding member 106 is manufactured by a technique such as punching, extrusion, cutting, molding, casting, or a combination of these processes. It will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art that the method for manufacturing the holding member 106 and the method for attaching the holding member 106 to the support structure can be performed by methods other than those described above.

また、図２は、本発明のある実施形態に係り、保持部材１０６と支持構造物（図示なし）とを連結し、さらに、光電池組立品（図示なし）と前記支持構造物との間を連結するのに用いる連結部材２００の斜視図を示す。連結部材２００は、ホール２０２及び２０４を有し、このホールを通して連結部材２００を前記支持構造物にボルトで固定する。また、連結部材２００のホール２０４は、保持部材１０６を一直線状に連結部材２００に固定する場合、ボルトをホール１０８とホール２０４に通して前記支持構造物の中まで挿入し、保持部材１０６と連結部材２００とを連結する。こうして、同様に、図６に示すように、保持部材１０６と前記支持構造物とを連結する。また、前記連結部材上に示すホール２０６及び２０８の穴組は、図７に示すように、前記連結部材に前記光電池組立品を固定するために使う複数のボルトの受け口となる。なお、連結部材２００、前記光電池組立品、及び保持部材１０６を互いに連結し、さらに支持構造物に連結するのに用いる方法及び金属部材類は、当業者にとっては、上記方法及び金属部材類以外によっても行うことが可能であることは、容易に理解できよう。なお、連結部材２００は、打ち抜き加工、押し出し加工、切削加工、鋳造加工、成形加工、またはこれら加工の組み合わせ等の技術によって製造する。   FIG. 2 relates to an embodiment of the present invention, in which a holding member 106 and a support structure (not shown) are connected, and a photovoltaic cell assembly (not shown) and the support structure are connected. The perspective view of the connection member 200 used for doing is shown. The connecting member 200 has holes 202 and 204, and the connecting member 200 is bolted to the support structure through the holes. Further, the hole 204 of the connecting member 200 is connected to the holding member 106 by inserting a bolt into the support structure through the hole 108 and the hole 204 when the holding member 106 is fixed to the connecting member 200 in a straight line. The member 200 is connected. Thus, similarly, as shown in FIG. 6, the holding member 106 and the support structure are connected. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the hole set of the holes 206 and 208 shown on the connecting member serves as a receiving port for a plurality of bolts used for fixing the photovoltaic cell assembly to the connecting member. Note that methods and metal members used for connecting the connecting member 200, the photovoltaic cell assembly, and the holding member 106 to each other and further connecting to the support structure will be understood by those skilled in the art other than the above methods and metal members. It can be easily understood that this can be done.

図３は、本発明の一実施形態に係る、光電池組立品３００の斜視図である。本発明の光電池組立品３００は、先に述べたように、例えば、保持部材１０６、係合部材１００と同様な複数の係合部材、及び連結部材２００等の一セットを用いて、支持構造物（図示なし）に設置可能である。光電池組立品３００は、太陽光を利用可能なエネルギーに変換する複数の太陽電池からなる光電池パネル３０２を含んで図３に示してある。   FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a photovoltaic cell assembly 300 according to one embodiment of the present invention. As described above, the photovoltaic cell assembly 300 according to the present invention includes, for example, a holding structure 106, a plurality of engagement members similar to the engagement member 100, and a set of connection members 200 and the like. (Not shown) can be installed. Photovoltaic assembly 300 is shown in FIG. 3 including a photovoltaic panel 302 comprising a plurality of solar cells that convert sunlight into usable energy.

このエネルギーは、直流（ＤＣ）電気である。こうして光電池パネルによって発生した直流（ＤＣ）電気は交流（ＡＣ）電気に変換し、多様な電気器具を動かすのに使用される。直流（ＤＣ）電気を交流（ＡＣ）電気に変換するには、インバーターモジュール３０４を用いる。なお、本文の説明のために、インバーターモジュール３０４及び光電池パネル３０２は、まとめて光電池モジュールと呼ぶことにする。   This energy is direct current (DC) electricity. The direct current (DC) electricity generated by the photovoltaic panel in this way is converted into alternating current (AC) electricity and used to move various appliances. Inverter module 304 is used to convert direct current (DC) electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity. For the purpose of the description of the text, the inverter module 304 and the photovoltaic cell panel 302 are collectively referred to as a photovoltaic cell module.

また、図３において、太陽光を交流（ＡＣ）電気に変換する過程に用いる電子回路３０６もつながっている。光電池組立品３００に含まれる、この付属電子回路３０６は、当業者に公知の部品である。また、光電池モジュール（３０２及び３０４）と付属電子回路３０６は、支持組立品に実装する。支持組立品は、長方形のフレーム３０８及びラック部品３１４と３１６を有する。また、フレーム３０８によって、光電池モジュール３０２及び付属電子回路３０６を一緒に固定する。２個の係合部材３１０及び３１２は、図１（ａ）の係合部材１００と同一または類似の部品であり、これら係合部材を前記ラック部品３１６に取り付ける。   In FIG. 3, an electronic circuit 306 used in the process of converting sunlight into alternating current (AC) electricity is also connected. The attached electronic circuit 306 included in the photovoltaic cell assembly 300 is a component known to those skilled in the art. The photovoltaic module (302 and 304) and the attached electronic circuit 306 are mounted on the support assembly. The support assembly has a rectangular frame 308 and rack parts 314 and 316. Further, the photovoltaic module 302 and the attached electronic circuit 306 are fixed together by the frame 308. The two engaging members 310 and 312 are the same or similar parts to the engaging member 100 in FIG. 1A, and these engaging members are attached to the rack part 316.

また、設置時には、図１（ａ）を参照して説明したように係合部材３１０及び３１２を用いて保持部材１０６に光電池組立品３００を固定する。図１（ａ）で述べた係合用ホール１０２と１０４と類似の係合用ホールを介し、係合部材３１０及び３１２を、ボルトを用いてラック部品３１６に取り付ける。これにより、前記複数の係合用ホールを含む係合部材３１０及び３１２の基底部を、ラック部品３１６に取り付け、さらに係合部材の残りの部分は上方向に伸長する。従って、係合部材３１０及び３１２の各々のかなりの部分は、光電池モジュール（３０２及び３０４）が置かれた面より上方に位置する。これによって、係合部材３１０及び３１２が位置する高低線を、光電池モジュール（３０２及び３０４）が位置する高低線より高くすることができる。よって、作業者は係合部材３１０及び３１２を、支持構造物上に事前に設置した保持部材１０６と容易に係合することが可能となり、保持部材１０６上に光電池組立品３００を設置できる。なお、これから以下に説明するように、次に、同じ作業者は、光電池組立品よりも低い位置において、光電池組立品を連結部材２００に取り付け、以上の作業を完了する。このように、先に述べた方法によって、一人目の作業者が光電池組立品３００を、支持構造物の所望の直線上に且つ所望の位置に固定したことを確認しつつ、別の作業者が光電池組立品３００を設置完了させる必要がない。また、フレーム３０８に取り付ける係合部材の個数は上記とは異なっていてもよい。   At the time of installation, the photovoltaic cell assembly 300 is fixed to the holding member 106 using the engaging members 310 and 312 as described with reference to FIG. The engagement members 310 and 312 are attached to the rack component 316 using bolts through engagement holes similar to the engagement holes 102 and 104 described in FIG. As a result, the base portions of the engaging members 310 and 312 including the plurality of engaging holes are attached to the rack component 316, and the remaining portions of the engaging members extend upward. Thus, a significant portion of each of the engagement members 310 and 312 is located above the surface on which the photovoltaic modules (302 and 304) are placed. Thereby, the height line where the engaging members 310 and 312 are located can be made higher than the height line where the photovoltaic module (302 and 304) is located. Therefore, the operator can easily engage the engaging members 310 and 312 with the holding member 106 installed in advance on the support structure, and can install the photovoltaic cell assembly 300 on the holding member 106. As will be described below, next, the same worker attaches the photovoltaic cell assembly to the connecting member 200 at a position lower than the photovoltaic cell assembly, and completes the above operations. As described above, the first worker confirms that the photovoltaic cell assembly 300 is fixed on the desired straight line of the support structure and at the desired position by the above-described method. There is no need to complete the installation of the photovoltaic cell assembly 300. Further, the number of engaging members attached to the frame 308 may be different from the above.

この後、ラック部品３１４及び３１６を、これに限定されるわけではないが、Ｕ字形ボルト等必要な金属部材類を用いて支持構造物に固定する。これにより、支持構造物上に光電池組立品３００を設置する作業が完了する。なお、本実施形態の詳細については、図９及び図１０を参照されたい。   Thereafter, the rack components 314 and 316 are fixed to the support structure using necessary metal members such as U-shaped bolts, although not limited thereto. Thereby, the operation of installing the photovoltaic cell assembly 300 on the support structure is completed. For details of the present embodiment, refer to FIGS. 9 and 10.

また、ある実施形態では、ラック部品３１４及び３１６を、連結部材２００を介して支持構造物に固定する。本実施形態では、ラック部品３１４及び３１６を、ホール２０６及び２０８を通してボルトで連結部材に取り付ける。また、前記取り付け方法の詳細は、以前、図７で説明したとおりである。   In some embodiments, the rack components 314 and 316 are fixed to the support structure via the connecting member 200. In this embodiment, the rack parts 314 and 316 are attached to the connecting member with bolts through the holes 206 and 208. The details of the attachment method are as described above with reference to FIG.

今まで述べてきた複数の実施形態では、ラック部品３１４及び３１６を固定するのに用いた、更に、同様にして、直接または連結部材２００を介して支持構造物に光電池組立品３００を固定するのに用いた金属部材類は、今まで述べた金属部材類とは異なっていてもよい。   In the embodiments described so far, the photovoltaic assembly 300 is used to fix the rack components 314 and 316 and, in the same way, to fix the photovoltaic cell assembly 300 to the support structure directly or via the connecting member 200. The metal members used in the above may be different from the metal members described so far.
