Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a solar cell power generator installed in a building.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a solar cell power generator is installed on a sloping roof base surface (base plate) of a building such as a house, and the device itself is used as a roof material and the generated power is supplied to the house. are doing.

To install this solar cell power generator as a roofing material, a plurality of vertical members are arranged in parallel on the roof base surface (field plate) along the inclined surface of the roof, and many vertical members are arranged on this vertical member. A solar panel is attached.

[0004]

However, in the above-described solar cell power generation device, since the solar cell panel has a shape having at least two parallel sides such as a rectangle and a square, when the solar cell panel is installed on the roof, a plurality of vertical panels are used. There has been a problem that a predetermined number of solar cell panels cannot be provided on the roof unless the members are accurately arranged in parallel with each other at predetermined intervals.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and a metal jig is provided so as to extend perpendicularly to two adjacent vertical members. Two adjacent vertical members are placed in parallel with each other at a predetermined interval, and a solar cell panel is mounted across the two adjacent vertical members placed in parallel. A groove along the longitudinal direction is provided on the front surface side of the vertical member, and a metal jig is spanned across the groove of the adjacent vertical member.

[0006]

According to the present invention, by straddling the metal jig between the vertical members, the vertical members can be positioned parallel to each other with a predetermined interval, and the solar cell panel can be mounted on the parallel vertical members. It can be installed accurately in a fixed position and in a fixed state.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of the solar cell power generation device of the present invention provided on an inclined surface of a roof. Reference numeral 1 denotes a roof base surface (field board), and under the roof base surface 1, rafters 2, 2 and 2 are provided at a predetermined interval. 3, 3 and 3 are vertical members made of aluminum alloy or the like, and these vertical members 3, 3, and 3 are tubular bodies having a square cross section having openings 4, 4, and 4 in the longitudinal direction on the front surface side. Then, the grooves 5, 5, 5 are formed inside, and are fixed to the roof base surface 1 and the rafters 2, 2, 2 with bolts at intervals of 100 cm, for example. Reference numeral 6 denotes a plate-shaped solar cell panel, which is a square having a length of about 100 cm and a width of 100 cm, and is formed of single crystal, polycrystal or amorphous silicon, and two adjacent vertical members. It is attached over 3 and 3. Reference numeral 7 is a metal jig that is provided so as to extend orthogonally to the two adjacent vertical members 3, 3.

Now, the metal jig 7 and its mounting state will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. Reference numeral 8 is a metal plate having an L-shaped cross section and formed of aluminum alloy or the like, and approximately 100c which is substantially equal to the interval between the vertical members 3 and 3.
m. Parallel jigs 9 and 9 and fixing metal fittings 10 and 10 are provided on the lower portions of both ends of the metal plate 8 and fixed by bolts 11 and 11.
The parallel jigs 9 and 9 are orthogonal to the metal plate 8 and fixed by welding. The horizontal width a of the parallel jigs 9 and 9 is equal to the width A of the openings 4 and 4 of the vertical members 3 and 3. They are formed with the same width.

On the other hand, the horizontal width a of the fixing metal fittings 10 and 10 is also formed to be the same as the width A of the openings 4 and 4 of the vertical members 3 and 3, and the length b is the width B of the grooves 5 and 5. It is formed in the same width as. The fixing fittings 10 and 10 can freely rotate up and down in the length of the bolt 11 as shown in FIG. 3, and are attached to the groove 5 of the vertical member 3 as shown in FIG. It is possible to rotate the fixing metal fitting 10 while sandwiching the parallel jig 9 and to lock the metal fitting 10 by being orthogonal to the parallel metal fitting 9 so as to be fixed to the vertical member 3.

A metal jig 7 is composed of these metal plate 8, parallel jigs 9, 9, fixing metal fittings 10, 10, and bolts 11, 11.

Next, the procedure for arranging the solar cell panel 6 in the solar cell power generator configured as described above will be described.

First, a plurality of vertical members 3, 3, ... Are placed on the roof base surface 1, and a metal jig 7 is laid between adjacent vertical members 3, 3. The metal jig 7 is straddled by the parallel jig 9, the fixing bracket 10, the bolt 11 and the groove 5 of the vertical member 3 as described above, and as a result, the adjacent vertical members 3 and 3 have a length of, for example, 100 cm. Both are kept in parallel at a predetermined interval. In this state, the vertical members 3, 3 are fixed to the roof base surface 1 or the rafters 2, 2, ....

When fixing the vertical members 3, 3, ..., Basically, it is possible to keep them in parallel at a predetermined interval by straddling one metal jig 7, but FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, two or more metal jigs 7, 7 can be fixed in a more accurately determined state by straddling the vertical members 3, 3 at positions separated from each other.

In this way, the solar cell panel 6, straddling the vertical members 3, 3 fixed at a predetermined interval and parallel to each other,
The solar cell power generator is completed by sequentially attaching 6 ... And laying it over the entire roof.

The metal jig 7 used to fix the vertical members 3, 3, ... At predetermined intervals and parallel to each other is
Since it is not necessary when mounting the solar cell panel 6, it may be removed before mounting the solar cell panel.
For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the metal jig 7 attached to the eaves can be used as a scaffold for the subsequent installation work of the solar cell panel 6, and the metal jig 7 provided near the ridge is used for the panel installation work. It can also be used as a connecting rod for connecting the lifeline of a person. In this way, the vertical member 3,
By using the metal jig 7 used to install 3 ... in a predetermined state as a scaffold or a lifeline connecting rod when installing a solar cell, the safety of work in a dangerous place on the roof is improved. Can be secured.

Further, the metal jigs 7 ... May be removed from the vertical members 3, 3 ... After completion of the panel 6 attachment work, or may be left as a reinforcing member in some cases. .

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the case where the solar cell panel is attached to the sloping roof has been described. However, the present invention can be applied not only to the sloping roof but also when the solar cell panel is attached to a vertical wall surface. It can also be used on horizontal roofs such as the roof of a building.

[0018]

As is apparent from the above description, the present invention has the metal jig extending in the orthogonal direction between the two adjacent vertical members, so that the two adjacent vertical members are predetermined. They are arranged at intervals of and parallel to each other. Therefore, a square or rectangular solar cell panel can be correctly installed on the vertical member as designed, and the roof of the building can be effectively used as a place for installing the solar cell power generator. In addition, a metal jig laid between two adjacent vertical members can be used as a scaffold for panel mounting work and as a connecting rod for attaching a lifeline, which is effective for ensuring work safety. .
