Abstract

The present application discloses a clamping component, it includes a first pressing block provided with a first perforation hole and a first clamping slot, a second pressing block provided with a second perforation hole and a second clamping slot, a fastener assembly and an elastic part. The clamping component may quickly clamp a guide rail and is suitable for different specifications of the guide rail, and the universality is high. The present application discloses a guide rail racking, including a fixing frame and the above clamping component mounted on the fixing frame. The guide rail racking is beneficial to rapid installation of the guide rail, time-saving and labor-saving. The present application discloses a solar panel racking assembly, including the above guide rail racking and a guide rail mounted on the guide rail racking. The solar panel racking assembly may be quickly assembled on site, and it is time-saving and labor-saving.

Claims (13)

1. A clamping component, comprising:

a first pressing block ( 11 ), provided with a first perforation hole ( 111 ) and a first clamping slot ( 112 );

a second pressing block ( 12 ), provided with a second perforation hole ( 121 ) and a second clamping slot ( 122 ), wherein notches of the second clamping slot ( 122 ) and the first clamping slot ( 112 ) are opposite;

a fastener assembly ( 13 ), comprising: a rod portion ( 131 ), a first limiting portion ( 132 ) and a second limiting portion ( 133 ), wherein the rod portion ( 131 ) is inserted into the first perforation hole ( 111 ) and the second perforation hole ( 121 ), one end of the rod portion ( 131 ) extends out of the first perforation hole ( 111 ) and is connected with the first limiting portion ( 132 ), and the other end of the rod portion ( 131 ) extends out of the second perforation hole ( 121 ) and is connected with the second limiting portion ( 133 ); and

an elastic part ( 14 ), arranged installed between the first pressing block ( 11 ) and the first limiting portion ( 132 ) to provide an axial compression force to the first pressing block ( 11 ).

2. The clamping component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second pressing block ( 12 ) is provided with a positioning lug ( 123 ).

3. The clamping component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second limiting portion ( 133 ) and the rod portion ( 131 ) are integrally formed into a bolt, and the first limiting portion ( 132 ) is a nut; the first pressing block ( 11 ) is provided with a guide groove ( 113 ), the first limiting portion ( 132 ) is clamped in the guide groove ( 113 ), the elastic part ( 14 ) is abutted between the bottom of the guide groove ( 113 ) and the first limiting portion ( 132 ), and the first limiting portion ( 132 ) may be moved axially in the guide groove ( 113 ).

4. The clamping component as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the first pressing block ( 11 ) is provided with a limiting groove ( 114 ) at the bottom of the guide groove ( 113 ), the elastic part ( 14 ) is a spring, the elastic part ( 14 ) is sheathed on the rod portion ( 131 ), one end of the elastic part ( 14 ) is abutted with the first pressing block ( 11 ), and the other end is abutted with the bottom of the limiting groove ( 114 ).

5. The clamping component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein while one surface of the first pressing block ( 11 ) and one surface of the second pressing block ( 12 ) contact or approach each other, two opposite surfaces are formed, one of the opposite surfaces is set as a concave surface, and the other is set as a convex surface embedded in the concave surface.

6. The clamping component as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the lower portions of the two opposite surfaces formed by the second pressing block ( 12 ) and the first pressing block ( 11 ) are collided to form a fulcrum, and there is a gap between the upper portions of the two opposite surfaces formed by the second pressing block ( 12 ) and the first pressing block ( 11 ); and under the action of the elastic part ( 14 ), the first pressing block ( 11 ) may be rotated around the fulcrum towards the direction of the second pressing block ( 12 ), and rotated until the upper portion of the first pressing block ( 11 ) is collided with the upper portion of the second pressing block ( 12 ).

7. The clamping component as claimed in claim 5 , wherein in the two opposite surfaces formed by the first pressing block ( 11 ) and the second pressing block ( 12 ), one opposite surface successively comprises a first inclined surface ( 115 ), a first vertical surface ( 116 ), a second inclined surface ( 117 ) and a second vertical surface ( 118 ) from top to bottom, and the other opposite surface successively comprises a third inclined surface ( 125 ) opposite to the first inclined surface ( 115 ), a third vertical surface ( 126 ) opposite to the first vertical surface ( 116 ), a fourth inclined surface ( 127 ) opposite to the second inclined surface ( 117 ), and a fourth vertical surface ( 128 ) opposite to the second vertical surface ( 118 ) from top to bottom; and while the second inclined surface ( 117 ) is overlapped with the fourth inclined surface ( 127 ), there is a gap between the first inclined surface ( 115 ) and the third inclined surface ( 125 ), and there is a gap between the first vertical surface ( 116 ) and the third vertical surface ( 126 ).

8. The clamping component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the top surface of the first clamping slot ( 112 ) is an inclined surface downwards inclined towards the direction of the second pressing block ( 12 ), and the top surface of the second clamping slot ( 122 ) is an inclined surface downwards inclined towards the direction of the first pressing block ( 11 ).

9. The clamping component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bottom surface of the second pressing block ( 12 ) is an inclined surface upwards inclined towards the direction of the first pressing block ( 11 ).
