Water resistant roof assembly structure integrated with solar panels
Abstract
A water resistant roof assembly structure integrated with solar panels, for constructing a roof of a building, includes multiple support units arranged at a distance from one another, multiple solar modules disposed across every two adjacent support units, and multiple clamping units. Each support unit includes two carrying sections, a connecting section and two water discharging sections. Each water discharging section includes a valley portion adjacent to the carrying section, and a peak portion away from and having a height as the carrying section. Two sides of each solar module are respectively leaned against the carrying section and the water discharging section of one of the support units. A water discharging channel is formed between the solar module and the water discharging section to limit rainwater to flow towards two sides of the building. Each clamping unit includes a fixing portion, two extension portions and two pressing portions.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A water resistant roof assembly structure integrated with solar panels, comprising:
a plurality of support units, disposed at an upper surface of a building and arranged at a distance from one another, each of the support units comprising two carrying sections, a connecting section connected between the two carrying sections and located closer to the building than the two carrying sections, and two water discharging sections each connected to one side of each of the carrying sections away from the connecting section, each of the water discharging sections comprising a valley portion connected to the carrying section, and a peak portion connected to the valley portion and having a height equal to that of the carrying sections; a plurality of solar modules, disposed across two adjacent support units, each of the solar modules having two sides thereof leaned against onto one of the carrying sections of the two support units, and covering one of the water discharging sections of the two support units to form a water discharging channel for rainwater to flow towards two sides of the building; and a plurality of clamping units, each of the clamping units disposed on one of the support units and clamping the two solar modules adjacent to two sides of the support unit, each of the clamping units comprising a fixing portion corresponding to the connecting section of the support unit, two extension portions respectively extending from two ends of the fixing portion to positions at upper surfaces of the solar modules, and two pressing portions respectively extending from the extension portions along the upper surfaces of the two solar modules and pressing against the solar modules.
2 . The water resistant roof assembly structure integrated with solar panels of claim 1 , wherein each of the solar modules comprises a plurality of photovoltaic cells in a cascade arrangement, and each of the photovoltaic cells comprises a photoelectric converting unit and an outer frame disposed around the photoelectric converting unit.
3 . The water resistant roof assembly structure integrated with solar panels of claim 2 , wherein a protrusion portion is disposed at one side of the outer frame near another photovoltaic cell, and the water resistant roof assembly structure further comprises a plurality of insulating bodies each disposed between every two adjacent protrusion portions and a plurality of connecting members each covering every two adjacent protrusion portions.
4 . The water resistant roof assembly structure integrated with solar panels of claim 2 , wherein a clamping space is formed between every two adjacent solar modules, the clamping units are disposed in a cascade arrangement in the clamping space, a clearance space exists between every two adjacent clamping units, and each of the clearance spaces corresponds between every two adjacent photovoltaic cells.
5 . The water resistant roof assembly structure integrated with solar panels of claim 2 , wherein each of the outer frames comprises a side frame plane that faces the clamping unit after being assembled, and a water blocking section that extends along the side frame plane towards a direction of the building.
6 . The water resistant roof assembly structure integrated with solar panels of claim 1 , further comprising:
a plurality of beam frames, disposed between each of the support units and the building, each of the beam frames comprising a guiding track, two positioning members respectively disposed at two ends of the guiding track and capable of appropriate sliding on the guiding track, and two abutting plates respectively connected to the positioning members, each of the abutting plates abutting against two support units at two opposite sides of the water resistant roof assembly structure integrated with solar panels.
7 . The water resistant roof assembly structure integrated with solar panels of claim 6 , wherein each of the positioning members is a spring channel nut.
8 . The water resistant roof assembly structure integrated with solar panels of claim 1 , further comprising:
a plurality of pressing members, penetrating through the connecting sections and the fixing portions to fasten and join the support unit and the clamping unit.
9 . The water resistant roof assembly structure integrated with solar panels of claim 1 , wherein each of the support units comprises a blocking section disposed at one side of the connecting section opposite the clamping unit, and a flow guiding channel is formed between the connecting section and the blocking section to guide rainwater to flow towards the two sides of the building.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
