摘要: FIG. 1 is an upper perspective view of an embodiment of a mounting hardware, illustrating the mounting hardware mounted to exemplary environment;
FIG. 2 is another upper perspective view of the mounting hardware shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a lower perspective view of the mounting hardware shown in FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a front view of the mounting hardware shown in FIG. 2;
FIG. 5 is a rear view of the mounting hardware shown in FIG. 2;
FIG. 6 is a left-side view of the mounting hardware shown in FIG. 2;
FIG. 7 is a right-side view of the mounting hardware shown in FIG. 2;
FIG. 8 is a top view of the mounting hardware shown in FIG. 2; and,
FIG. 9 is a bottom view of the mounting hardware shown in FIG. 2.
The drawings contain a symbolic break. The portion between the break lines forms no part of the claimed design.
The broken lines are for the purpose of illustrating portions of the mounting hardware that form no part of the claimed design. The broken line showing of the attachment structures in FIG. 1 illustrates the environment of the claimed design and forms no part thereof.-

摘要: A method may include positioning one or more PV module mounting devices along a length of a structural component. The method may include specifying one or more parameters related to fastening the PV module mounting devices to the structural component, the one or more parameters indicating a spacing between the PV module mounting devices. The method may include fastening, by an automated attachment equipment, the PV module mounting devices to the structural component based on the specified parameters and moving the PV module mounting devices fastened to the structural component to an assembly platform.

摘要: A mounting assembly may include an arced connecting member that includes a first drive chain along a bottom surface of the arced connecting member, a second drive chain positioned adjacent to the first drive chain, and a third drive chain in a gap between the first and the second drive chains. The mounting assembly may include an intermittent-motion drive system that has a drive wheel with a nub extending from a lateral surface of the drive wheel, the nub being shaped to interface with notches included along the third drive chain. The intermittent-motion drive system may include a first and a second protrusion shaped to interface with surfaces of the first and second drive chains, respectively. Rotation of a drive axle extending through the drive wheel may affect rotation of the drive wheel, rotational movement of the nub extending from the drive wheel, and movement of the arced connecting member.

摘要: A deflection pad may include a body including two peaks, and a recess in the body between the two peaks, the recess may be sized to accommodate a fastener such that when deployed, the fastener is below a height of the two peaks within the recess. The deflection pad may include arms projecting in a direction generally opposite the two peaks, the arms biased inward towards the recess. The deflection pad may be included in a system that includes a torsion beam and one or more support racks to which multiple PV modules may be attached, where the support are racks attached to the torsion beam. One or more deflection pads may be positioned on the support racks to be below the PV modules.

摘要: A mounting system may include a frame associated with a power-generating device, the frame including an opening. The mounting system may include a bracket mounting assembly. The bracket mounting assembly may include a top member having a first surface, a clamp, and a single bolt passing through both the top member and the clamp such that the clamp moves along an interface between the first and a second surfaces as the single bolt is tightened. The clamp may include the second surface corresponding to the first surface, an arm projecting away from the top member, and a flange at least proximate a top of the arm. The flange may include an ear at the top of the arm and a tab on a bottom side of the ear projecting back towards the top member, the tab positioned to interface with the opening on the frame.

摘要: A mounting bracket assembly comprising may include an upper region with flat portions on either end that interface with a photovoltaic (PV) module and a lower portion in between the flat portions, and a central portion at least partially surrounding a hole shaped to accommodate a torsion beam. The mounting bracket assembly may also include side portions extending from the ends of the upper region to below the hole shaped to accommodate the torsion beam, and a first outer lining along a periphery of the mounting bracket assembly. The mounting bracket assembly may also include a second outer lining along the hole shaped to accommodate the torsion beam, and multiple ribs extending between the first outer lining and the second outer lining.

摘要: A bifurcated bearing housing for use within a torque tube interface may include a first component defining a first portion of an aperture configured to house a first portion of a rotating bearing, a second component defining a second portion of the aperture configured to house a second portion of the rotating bearing, and a connection interface between the first and second components, wherein, when the first and second components are in an attached configuration, the connection interface lies below a centerpoint of the aperture defined by the first and second components. The bifurcated bearing housing may include one or more of ridges, gussets, and/or hems to increase the structural integrity and rigidity of the bearing housing.

摘要: A mounting assembly may include an arced connecting member that includes a first drive chain along a bottom surface of the arced connecting member, a second drive chain positioned adjacent to the first drive chain, and a third drive chain in a gap between the first and the second drive chains. The mounting assembly may include an intermittent-motion drive system that has a drive wheel with a nub extending from a lateral surface of the drive wheel, the nub being shaped to interface with notches included along the third drive chain. The intermittent-motion drive system may include a first and a second protrusion shaped to interface with surfaces of the first and second drive chains, respectively. Rotation of a drive axle extending through the drive wheel may affect rotation of the drive wheel, rotational movement of the nub extending from the drive wheel, and movement of the arced connecting member.
