Abstract

The present disclosure provides a mounting structure of a photovoltaic panel, and relates to the technical of mounting of solar panels. The mounting structure includes a bottom plate, bases, supporting rails and clamps; the bases are fixedly mounted on the bottom plate; the supporting rails are detachably connected to the bases; the clamps slide on the supporting rails; the bases include mounting portions and supporting portions fixed on the mounting portions; side walls of the supporting rails are provided with side sliding chutes for fasteners to slide; top walls of the supporting rails are provided with top sliding chutes for the clamps to slide; and the clamps include sliding portions and clamping portions. In addition, a waterproof mud layer and the bottom plate are also arranged below the bases, so that the waterproof performance of the roof after the mounting of the photovoltaic panel can be better guaranteed.

Claims (13)

1. A mounting structure of a photovoltaic panel, comprising a bottom plate, bases, supporting rails and clamps, wherein the bases are fixedly mounted on the bottom plate; the supporting rails are detachably connected to the bases; the clamps slide on the supporting rails;

the bases comprise mounting portions and supporting portions fixed on the mounting portions; fixing members are arranged on the mounting portions; slots are formed in the middle of the supporting portions; fasteners are arranged between the supporting portions and side walls of the supporting rails;

the side walls of the supporting rails are provided with side sliding chutes for the fasteners to slide; top walls of the supporting rails are provided with top sliding chutes for the clamps to slide; and

the clamps comprise sliding portions and clamping portions; the sliding portions are connected with the top sliding chutes; and the clamping portions resist against a top wall of the photovoltaic panel.

2. The mounting structure of the photovoltaic panel according to claim 1 , wherein side surfaces of the supporting portions and the side walls of the supporting rails are provided with corrugated teeth; the supporting portions and the mounting portions are also provided with reinforcers; the reinforcers are triangular; and the supporting portions, the reinforcers and the mounting portions are integrally formed.

3. The mounting structure of the photovoltaic panel according to claim 2 , wherein construction reference lines are arranged on the bottom plate; and alignment lines are arranged on the reinforcers.

4. The mounting structure of the photovoltaic panel according to claim 1 , wherein the fasteners comprise sliding blocks, screw rods and nuts; one end of each screw rod is connected to the middle of each sliding block; the other end of each screw rod penetrates through each strip-type slot; and the nuts used for pressing the supporting portions are also connected to the screw rods.

5. The mounting structure of the photovoltaic panel according to claim 4 , wherein guide bars are arranged in the side sliding chutes; and the sliding blocks slide in the side sliding chutes in a manner that side walls of the sliding blocks abut against the guide bars.

6. The mounting structure of the photovoltaic panel according to claim 1 , wherein waterproof layers are attached to bottom surfaces of the mounting portions; through holes are formed in the mounting portions; and the fasteners penetrate through the mounting portions, the waterproof layers and the bottom plate in sequence; and lower ends of the fixing members extend out of the bottom plate.

7. The mounting structure of the photovoltaic panel according to claim 1 , wherein the sliding portions comprise fixture blocks and stoppers; the fixture blocks slide in the top sliding chutes; the stoppers are connected with upper ends of the fixture blocks; and the stoppers resist against the top walls of the supporting rails.

8. The mounting structure of the photovoltaic panel according to claim 1 , wherein the clamping portions comprise pressing members, bolts, sleeves and elastic members; the sleeves are fixed on the sliding portions; upper ends of the bolts penetrate through the pressing members; lower ends of the bolts are in threaded connection with the sleeves; and the elastic members are connected between lower ends of the pressing members and the sliding portions.

9. The mounting structure of the photovoltaic panel according to claim 8 , wherein the pressing members are U-shaped, and surfaces of the pressing members that are in contact with the photovoltaic panel are corrugated.

10. The mounting structure of the photovoltaic panel according to claim 1 , wherein the bases are made of 6005-T5 aluminum alloy material, and surfaces of the bases are anodized.
