Description

本発明は、太陽電池モジュールを保持する固定装置に設けられた開口を覆うためのカバー、及び太陽電池モジュール用の固定装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a cover for covering an opening provided in a fixing device for holding a solar cell module, and a fixing device for the solar cell module.

近年、アレイ状に配置された複数の太陽電池モジュールが建造物の屋根のような場所に設置されることがある。太陽電池モジュールは、屋根に設置された固定装置（架台）に保持させることで屋根上に設置される（特許文献１）。 In recent years, a plurality of solar cell modules arranged in an array may be installed in a place such as a roof of a building. The solar cell module is installed on the roof by being held by a fixing device (frame) installed on the roof (Patent Document 1).

特許文献１は、複数のパネル状の太陽電池モジュールを固定する架台を開示している。架台は、太陽電池モジュールの裏面側において互いに間隔をあけて配置され、太陽電池モジュールを固定する複数の柱状部材を有する。柱状部材は、太陽電池モジュールの側部フレームに沿って延びる縦材と、縦材と直交する方向に延びる横材と、を含む。 Patent Document 1 discloses a frame for fixing a plurality of panel-shaped solar cell modules. The gantry is arranged on the back surface side of the solar cell module at intervals from each other, and has a plurality of columnar members for fixing the solar cell module. The columnar member includes a vertical member extending along the side frame of the solar cell module and a horizontal member extending in a direction orthogonal to the vertical member.

特開２０１６−１１９８１２号Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2016-119812

一般的に、太陽電池モジュールを保持する縦材と横材の少なくとも一方（以下、「支持部材」と称する。）は、支持部材が延びる方向に直交する断面において、Ｃ字形の形状を有する。すなわち、支持部材は、支持部材が延びる方向に沿って延びた中空の構造を有する。さらに、支持部材は、一般に、支持部材が延びる方向における端部において開口しており、前述の中空構造は外部空間と連通している。 Generally, at least one of the vertical member and the horizontal member (hereinafter, referred to as "support member") holding the solar cell module has a C-shape in a cross section orthogonal to the direction in which the support member extends. That is, the support member has a hollow structure extending along the direction in which the support member extends. Further, the support member is generally open at the end in the direction in which the support member extends, and the hollow structure described above communicates with the external space.

本願発明者は、このように支持部材の端部が開口していると、太陽電池モジュールを保持する固定装置の意匠性が劣ってしまうという課題を見出した。特に、傾斜した屋根に太陽電池モジュールを設置する場合、傾斜方向に沿って配置される支持部材の一端部の開口は、軒側に向けられるため、軒側から屋根を見上げたユーザから視認される可能性が高い。よって、太陽電池モジュールを保持する支持部材の意匠性を改善させることが望まれる。 The inventor of the present application has found that if the end of the support member is open in this way, the design of the fixing device for holding the solar cell module is inferior. In particular, when the solar cell module is installed on a sloping roof, the opening at one end of the support member arranged along the sloping direction is directed toward the eaves side, so that the user can see the roof from the eaves side. Probability is high. Therefore, it is desired to improve the design of the support member that holds the solar cell module.

一態様に係るカバーは、太陽電池モジュールを保持する支持部材の端部に設けられた開口を覆うためのカバーに関する。カバーは、開口を覆う平面部と、平面部から平面部と交差する方に突出し、支持部材に係合可能に構成された突出部と、を有する。 The cover according to one aspect relates to a cover for covering an opening provided at an end of a support member holding a solar cell module. The cover has a flat surface portion that covers the opening, and a protruding portion that protrudes from the flat surface portion in a direction intersecting the flat surface portion and is configured to be engaged with the support member.

一態様に係る太陽電池モジュール用の固定装置は、上記カバーと、カバーによって覆われる開口を有する支持部材と、を含む。 The fixing device for the solar cell module according to one aspect includes the cover and a support member having an opening covered by the cover.

上記態様によれば、支持部材の端部に設けられた開口を覆うカバーによって、太陽電池モジュールを保持する支持部材の意匠性を改善することができる。 According to the above aspect, the design of the support member that holds the solar cell module can be improved by the cover that covers the opening provided at the end of the support member.

パネル用の固定装置１００は、例えば屋根のような設置面１２に固定される。固定装置１００は、複数のパネル２０を支持している。パネル２０は太陽電池モジュールであってよい。 The panel fixing device 100 is fixed to an installation surface 12 such as a roof. The fixing device 100 supports a plurality of panels 20. The panel 20 may be a solar cell module.

固定装置１００は、複数の第１の支持部材１１０と、複数の第２の支持部材１２０と、を有する。第１の支持部材１１０は、第１の方向（Ｙ方向）に沿って延びており、設置面１２に固定される。第２の支持部材１２０は、第１の方向に交差する第２の方向（Ｘ方向）に沿って、少なくとも２つの第１の支持部材１１０にわたって延びている。第２の支持部材１２０は、第１の支持部材１１０上に配置される。複数のパネル２０は、第１の方向（Ｙ方向）及び第２の方向（Ｘ方向）に沿って複数並んでいてよい。各々のパネル２０は、第１の方向に互いに隣接する第２の支持部材１２０どうしによって支持される。 The fixing device 100 has a plurality of first support members 110 and a plurality of second support members 120. The first support member 110 extends along the first direction (Y direction) and is fixed to the installation surface 12. The second support member 120 extends over at least two first support members 110 along a second direction (X direction) that intersects the first direction. The second support member 120 is arranged on the first support member 110. A plurality of panels 20 may be arranged side by side along the first direction (Y direction) and the second direction (X direction). Each panel 20 is supported by second support members 120 that are adjacent to each other in the first direction.

本実施形態では、第１の方向は、屋根の傾斜方向に相当し、第２の方向は、第１の方向に直交する方向（水平方向）に相当する。しかしながら、本発明はこれに限定されるわけではない。第１の方向と第２の方向は、複数のパネル２０を支持することができるかぎり、それぞれどの方向に沿っていてもよい。また、第１の方向と第２の方向とは、互いに直交している必要はなく、互いに交差していればよい。また、パネル用の固定装置１００は、屋根のような傾斜した設置面だけでなく、水平な設置面に固定することもできる。 In the present embodiment, the first direction corresponds to the inclination direction of the roof, and the second direction corresponds to the direction orthogonal to the first direction (horizontal direction). However, the present invention is not limited to this. The first direction and the second direction may be along any direction as long as the plurality of panels 20 can be supported. Further, the first direction and the second direction do not have to be orthogonal to each other, and may intersect with each other. Further, the fixing device 100 for the panel can be fixed not only to an inclined installation surface such as a roof but also to a horizontal installation surface.

第１の支持部材１１０は、設置面１２上に配置される不図示の固定金具や、例えばボルトのような固定具３００（図２参照）によって設置面１２に固定することができる。複数の第１の支持部材１１０は、屋根の垂木に固定するために、一般に、垂木の間隔に合わせて配置されていてよい。 The first support member 110 can be fixed to the installation surface 12 by a fixing bracket (not shown) arranged on the installation surface 12 or a fixture 300 (see FIG. 2) such as a bolt. The plurality of first support members 110 may generally be arranged at intervals of the rafters for fixing to the roof rafters.

本実施形態では、第１の支持部材１１０は、第１の方向に沿って延びている。第１の支持部材１１０は、上面が開放した細長い中空の四角柱状に形成されていてよい。細長い中空は、第１の方向に沿って第１の支持部材１１０の端部まで延びており、第１の支持部材１１０の端部で開口１１５を形成する。第１の支持部材１１０の上面１１２には、第１の方向に沿って延びる開放部１１１が形成されていてよい。第１の支持部材１１０の上面１１２は、開放部１１１を挟んで両側に位置している。第１の支持部材の上面１１２は、第２の支持部材１２０を載せる面を構成する。 In this embodiment, the first support member 110 extends along the first direction. The first support member 110 may be formed in an elongated hollow square columnar shape having an open upper surface. The elongated hollow extends along the first direction to the end of the first support member 110, forming an opening 115 at the end of the first support member 110. An open portion 111 extending along the first direction may be formed on the upper surface 112 of the first support member 110. The upper surface 112 of the first support member 110 is located on both sides of the open portion 111. The upper surface 112 of the first support member constitutes a surface on which the second support member 120 is placed.

複数の第２の支持部材１２０のうち両端側の２つを除く第２の支持部材は、第１の方向に互いに隣接する２つのパネル２０をそれぞれ積載するよう構成されている。複数の第２の支持部材１２０のうち両端側の２つの第２の支持部材１２０ａ，１２０ｂは、１つのパネル２０を積載するよう構成されている。なお、１つのパネル２０は、互いに隣接する第２の支持部材１２０，１２０ａ，１２０ｂによって支持される。 The second support member, excluding the two on both end sides of the plurality of second support members 120, is configured to load two panels 20 adjacent to each other in the first direction. Of the plurality of second support members 120, the two second support members 120a and 120b on both end sides are configured to load one panel 20. One panel 20 is supported by second support members 120, 120a, 120b adjacent to each other.

次に、第１の方向（Ｙ方向）における一端に位置する第２の支持部材１２０ａについて説明する（図２参照）。第２の支持部材１２０ａは、第１の支持部材１１０に接する底部１２２を有する。第２の支持部材１２０ａは、底部１２２よりも上方に、パネル２０を積載するための積載面１２６を有する。具体的には、積載面１２６は、底部１２２から上方に延びる支持部分１２７及び側面当接部１２８によって底部１２２より上方に支持されている。側面当接部１２８は、積載面１２６を越えて上方に延びており、パネル２０の側面に当接する。 Next, a second support member 120a located at one end in the first direction (Y direction) will be described (see FIG. 2). The second support member 120a has a bottom portion 122 in contact with the first support member 110. The second support member 120a has a loading surface 126 for loading the panel 20 above the bottom portion 122. Specifically, the loading surface 126 is supported above the bottom portion 122 by a support portion 127 extending upward from the bottom portion 122 and a side contact portion 128. The side contact portion 128 extends upward beyond the loading surface 126 and abuts on the side surface of the panel 20.

第２の支持部材１２０ａはフランジ１２９を有していてよい。フランジ１２９は、側面当接部１２８の上部から第１の方向に突出する。本実施形態では、パネル２０の端部が、積載面１２６とフランジ１２９によって支持される。 The second support member 120a may have a flange 129. The flange 129 projects in the first direction from the upper part of the side surface contact portion 128. In this embodiment, the end of the panel 20 is supported by the loading surface 126 and the flange 129.

第１の支持部材１１０は、第１の固定部１３０及び第２の固定部１４０を含んでいてよい。第１の固定部１３０及び／又は第２の固定部１４０は、第１の支持部材１１０に対して着脱可能に構成されていてもよく、第１の支持部材１１０に対して着脱不能に構成されていてもよい。 The first support member 110 may include a first fixing portion 130 and a second fixing portion 140. The first fixing portion 130 and / or the second fixing portion 140 may be configured to be detachable from the first support member 110, and may be configured to be detachable from the first support member 110. You may be.

第１の固定部１３０は、第２の支持部材１２０の底部１２２の第１の方向における一端部１２２ａに当接している。第２の固定部１４０は、第２の支持部材１２０の底部１２２の第１の方向におけるもう一方の端部１２２ｂを、第１の支持部材１１０の上面１１２へ押圧する押圧部１４２を有する。これにより、第２の支持部材１２０の底部１２２の一端部１２２ｂが、第２の固定部１４０の押圧部１４２と第１の支持部材１１０の上面１１２とによって挟まれるように固定される。 The first fixing portion 130 is in contact with one end portion 122a of the bottom portion 122 of the second support member 120 in the first direction. The second fixing portion 140 has a pressing portion 142 that presses the other end portion 122b of the bottom portion 122 of the second supporting member 120 in the first direction against the upper surface 112 of the first supporting member 110. As a result, one end 122b of the bottom 122 of the second support member 120 is fixed so as to be sandwiched between the pressing portion 142 of the second fixing portion 140 and the upper surface 112 of the first support member 110.

第２の固定部１４０は、第１の支持部材１１０の上面１１２よりも下方に延びており、第１の支持部材１１０の上面１１２の下方で第１の固定部１３０と接している。第１の固定部１３０及び第２の固定部１４０は、例えばボルトのような締結部材１６０によって互いに固定される。 The second fixing portion 140 extends below the upper surface 112 of the first support member 110, and is in contact with the first fixing portion 130 below the upper surface 112 of the first support member 110. The first fixing portion 130 and the second fixing portion 140 are fixed to each other by a fastening member 160 such as a bolt.

好ましくは、第１の固定部１３０及び第２の固定部１４０は、第１の支持部材１１０に対してスライド移動可能に構成されている。具体的一例として、第１の支持部材１１０の側部１１３は、第１の方向に沿って延びる孔１１８を有する（図３，４参照）。第１の固定部１３０は、第２の方向に突出した突出部１３６を有する。なお、図３では、１つの孔１１８と１つの突出部１３６のみが示されているが、図３で示された第１の支持部材１１０の側部１１３とは反対側の側部に、同様の不図示の穴部と突出部が設けられている。第１の固定部１３０の一対の突出部１３６が、第１の支持部材１１０の側部１１３に形成された一対の孔１１８に挿入されることで、第１の固定部１３０及び第２の固定部１４０が第１の支持部材１１０に取り付けられる。本実施形態では、一対の孔１１８に挿入される一対の突出部１３６は、第１の固定部１３０に設けられているが、この代わりに、一対の突出部１３６は第２の固定部１４０に設けられていてもよい。 Preferably, the first fixing portion 130 and the second fixing portion 140 are configured to be slidable with respect to the first support member 110. As a specific example, the side portion 113 of the first support member 110 has a hole 118 extending along the first direction (see FIGS. 3 and 4). The first fixing portion 130 has a protruding portion 136 protruding in the second direction. Although only one hole 118 and one protrusion 136 are shown in FIG. 3, the same applies to the side portion of the first support member 110 shown in FIG. 3 opposite to the side portion 113. A hole and a protrusion (not shown) are provided. The pair of protruding portions 136 of the first fixing portion 130 are inserted into the pair of holes 118 formed in the side portions 113 of the first support member 110, whereby the first fixing portion 130 and the second fixing portion 130 and the second fixing portion 130 are fixed. The portion 140 is attached to the first support member 110. In the present embodiment, the pair of protrusions 136 inserted into the pair of holes 118 are provided in the first fixing portion 130, but instead, the pair of protrusions 136 is provided in the second fixing portion 140. It may be provided.

第１の支持部材１１０の側部１１３に形成された孔１１８は、突出部１３６よりも第１の方向に長く延びている。これにより、第１の固定部１３０及び第２の固定部１４０は、第２の支持部材１２０を支持した状態で第１の支持部材１１０に対してスライド移動可能となっている。つまり、パネル２０の第１の方向における位置を調節可能である。また、第２の支持部材１２０が移動可能となっていることにより、第２の支持部材１２０にパネル２０の端部を支持させ易くすることができる。 The hole 118 formed in the side portion 113 of the first support member 110 extends longer in the first direction than the protruding portion 136. As a result, the first fixing portion 130 and the second fixing portion 140 can slide and move with respect to the first supporting member 110 while supporting the second supporting member 120. That is, the position of the panel 20 in the first direction can be adjusted. Further, since the second support member 120 is movable, it is possible to make it easier for the second support member 120 to support the end portion of the panel 20.

本実施形態では、第１の支持部材１１０の端部に設けられた開口１１５を覆うためのカバー２００が設けられている。カバー２００は、第１の支持部材１１０に対して着脱可能に構成されていてよい。カバー２００は、平面部２０２及び突出部２０４を有する。 In the present embodiment, a cover 200 for covering the opening 115 provided at the end of the first support member 110 is provided. The cover 200 may be configured to be removable from the first support member 110. The cover 200 has a flat surface portion 202 and a protruding portion 204.

平面部２０２は、第１の支持部材１１０の端部に設けられた開口１１５を覆う。突出部２０４は、平面部２０２から、平面部２０２と交差する方に突出している。突出部２０４は、第１の支持部材１１０の端部に設けられた開口１１５を囲む支持部材の一部に係合可能に構成されていえる。本実施形態では、突出部２０４は側部１１３に係合可能に構成されている。 The flat surface portion 202 covers the opening 115 provided at the end portion of the first support member 110. The protruding portion 204 protrudes from the flat surface portion 202 in a direction intersecting the flat surface portion 202. It can be said that the protrusion 204 is configured to be engageable with a part of the support member surrounding the opening 115 provided at the end of the first support member 110. In the present embodiment, the protruding portion 204 is configured to be engageable with the side portion 113.

突出部２０４は、一対設けられていてよい。一対の突出部２０４どうしの距離は、第１の支持部材１１０の幅と実質的に同じであってよい。これにより、カバー２００を第１の支持部材１１０に着脱させることができる。なお、平面部２０２は、第１の支持部材１１０の端部に設けられた開口１１５のすべてを塞いでもよく、その代わりに部分的に塞いでもよい。 A pair of protrusions 204 may be provided. The distance between the pair of protrusions 204 may be substantially the same as the width of the first support member 110.

突出部２８４は、平面部２８２から、平面部２８２に交差する方向に突出している。平面部２８２と突出部２８４は連続しており、平面部２８２と突出部２８４との間の移行部分２８３は、板の折り返しによって構成されている。カバー２８０を第１の支持部材１１０に取り付けたときに、移行部分２８３は、第１の支持部材１１０の開口１１５を囲む側端部１１９に当接する。これにより、平面部２８２と第１の支持部材１１０との間に隙間２８９が形成される。第１の支持部材１１０の中空部分に浸入した液体を、カバー２８０と第１の支持部材１１０との間の隙間２４９から排出することができる。 The protruding portion 284 protrudes from the flat surface portion 282 in a direction intersecting the flat surface portion 282. The flat surface portion 282 and the protruding portion 284 are continuous, and the transition portion 283 between the flat surface portion 282 and the protruding portion 284 is formed by folding back the plate. When the cover 280 is attached to the first support member 110, the transition portion 283 abuts on the side end 119 surrounding the opening 115 of the first support member 110. As a result, a gap 289 is formed between the flat surface portion 282 and the first support member 110. The liquid that has penetrated into the hollow portion of the first support member 110 can be discharged from the gap 249 between the cover 280 and the first support member 110.

なお、移行部２８３を押し出し加工によりリブ状に形成することも可能である。 The transition portion 283 can also be formed into a rib shape by extrusion processing.

（１０）第１０の実施形態
第１０の実施形態について、図２２及び図２３を参照して説明する。以下、第１の実施形態と同様の構成については、同様の符号を付し、その説明を省略する。図２２は、第１０の実施形態に係るカバーを装着した第１の支持部材の断面図である。図２３は、第１０の実施形態に係るカバーの斜視図である。なお、便宜上、図２１では、第１の支持部材の第１の固定部及び第２の固定部は示されていない。 (10) Tenth Embodiment The tenth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 22 and 23. Hereinafter, the same configurations as those of the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. FIG. 22 is a cross-sectional view of the first support member to which the cover according to the tenth embodiment is attached. FIG. 23 is a perspective view of the cover according to the tenth embodiment. For convenience, FIG. 21 does not show the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion of the first support member.

カバー２９０は、平面部２９２及び突出部２９４を有する。本実施形態では、突出部２９４は、締結部材２９８によって第１の支持部材１１０の底部１１７に締結可能に構成されている。 The cover 290 has a flat surface portion 292 and a protruding portion 294. In the present embodiment, the protruding portion 294 is configured to be fastened to the bottom portion 117 of the first support member 110 by the fastening member 298.

平面部２９２は、第１の支持部材１１０が延びる方向Ｙと交差する方向に隙間が向くように、第１の支持部材１１０の開口側の端部に対して傾いている（図２２参照）。 The flat surface portion 292 is tilted with respect to the opening-side end of the first support member 110 so that the gap faces in the direction intersecting the extending direction Y of the first support member 110 (see FIG. 22).

具体的には、平面部２９２は、突出部２９４に対して鋭角に傾いて形成されている。したがって、突出部２９４を第１の支持部材１１０の底部１１７に締結することによって、平面部２９２は、第１の支持部材の端部の開口１１５に対して傾く。これにより、
第１の支持部材１１０が延びる方向Ｙと交差する方向に隙間があき、当該隙間から第１の支持部材１１０の中空部分に浸入した液体を排出することができる。 Specifically, the flat surface portion 292 is formed so as to be inclined at an acute angle with respect to the protruding portion 294. Therefore, by fastening the protrusion 294 to the bottom 117 of the first support member 110, the flat surface portion 292 is tilted with respect to the opening 115 at the end of the first support member 110. This will
A gap is formed in the direction in which the first support member 110 extends and intersects the extending direction Y, and the liquid that has penetrated into the hollow portion of the first support member 110 can be discharged from the gap.

また、図２３に示すように、突出部２９４は、切り欠き２９６を有することが好ましい。この切り欠き２９６によって、第１の支持部材１１０の中空部分に浸入した液体を排出し易くすることができる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 23, the protruding portion 294 preferably has a notch 296. The notch 296 makes it easy to discharge the liquid that has penetrated into the hollow portion of the first support member 110.

なお、突出部２９４は、切り欠き２９６の代わりに、又は切り欠き２９６に加えて、液体を排出可能な貫通孔を有していてもよい。 The protrusion 294 may have a through hole capable of discharging the liquid instead of the notch 296 or in addition to the notch 296.
