Description

MOUNTING ASSEMBLY, IN PARTICULAR A SOLAR PANEL MOUNTING
ASSEMBLY
The present invention relates to a mounting assembly, in particular a solar panel mounting assembly, comprising a profiled longitudinal mounting element having at least one longitudinal mounting groove, a mounting bolt provided with torque applying means, a cylindrical element defining a first axis and provided with a threaded bore for the mounting bolt, passing through this threaded bore along a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis, and a clamping member disposed rotationally around the cylindrical element.
Background of the invention
Mounting assemblies of this kind are frequently employed to secure solar panels to longitudinal mounting elements fixed to a roof. It is thus desirable to ensure an arbitrary position of a solar panel on a mounting element.
Patent publication US2010284737 discloses a clamp apt to secure a solar cell array to a seam of a standing seam metal roof. The clamp has a cam that is rotated by the tightening of a bolt to cause the cam to engage the seam. The clamp also has a receiver for receiving the seam and the rotated cam. By installing the clamp on the seam, the solar cell array can be secured to the standing seam metal roof without drilling into the roof. Because no screws are required to be drilled into the rooftop, the damage to the rooftop is substantially reduced. Also, by reversing the process described above, the clamp can be uninstalled in a similar fashion.
Patent publication GB2088990 discloses an apparatus for use in building frames for machine guard systems, which includes: a length of extruded metal of indefinite length having a longitudinal recess; at least one metal rod of indefinite length having a cross-sectional shape which is complementary to that of the recess in such a manner that the rod can be inserted in the recess by rotating it about its own axis, each rod having at least one threaded bore extending transversely therethrough; a plurality of bolts having threads complementary to the bores; and a plurality of brackets which may be held to the frame members by the bolts. Patent publication AU 2020289859 A1 discloses a fastener for mounting an object to structure having a C-shaped channel having a slot and flanges on either side thereof, the fastener comprising a bolt having a head sized to pass through the channel slot and a washer comprising a washer hole, the washer being configured to pivot about an axis substantially perpendicular to the shank of the bolt when the bolt extends therethrough, wherein the washer is pivotable between an insertion configuration, such that a bolt head and the washer may be inserted into the slot of the C-shaped channel and an engaging configuration, wherein the washer engages with the channel flanges, preventing withdrawal of the fastener from the channel.
It has been the object of the present invention to provide a compact, cost efficient and simple to manufacture mounting assembly, of the kind mentioned at the outset, which would enable easy, fast attachment and detachment of additional mounting components to longitudinal mounting elements.
Summary of the invention
The invention provides a mounting assembly of the kind outlined at the outset, which is characterized in that the clamping member is provided with a blocking projection at one side of the first axis and a bolt groove at the other side of the first axis, said bolt groove defined by two second bolt groove surfaces crossing the first axis, at both sides of the threaded bore and joined with a first bolt groove surface extending along the first axis; and the mounting groove is provided with a blocking recess substantially perpendicular to the plane defined by the first axis and the second axis to encompass said blocking projection in the engaged state of the mounting assembly.
Preferably the mounting groove and said blocking projection are provided with curved guiding surfaces substantially parallel to the first axis, wherein the curvature of the guiding surface of the mounting groove is smaller than the curvature of the guiding surface of said blocking projection.
In such a case preferably said guiding surfaces are cylindrical and their axes are substantially parallel to the first axis. Preferably said blocking recess is provided with a mounting projection in a plane parallel to the first axis and the second axis, proximal to the entry of the mounting groove, and said blocking projection is provided with a mounting hook, defining a blocking groove and engaging said mounting projection in the engaged state of the mounting assembly.
Preferably in the engaged state of the mounting assembly the tip of the mounting bolt engages the surface of the mounting groove and the surface of the mounting bolt engages said first bolt groove surface of the clamping member.
Preferably the mounting assembly is further provided with a bracket disposed between a head of the mounting bolt and the mounting element in the engaged state of the mounting assembly.
In such a case preferably in the engaged state of the mounting assembly the surface of the mounting bolt engages said first bolt groove surface of the clamping member and said head of the mounting bolt engages said bracket.

Detailed description of preferred embodiment
An embodiment of a mounting assembly 1 is shown in Figs. 1-10. The mounting assembly 1 comprises a metal, profiled longitudinal mounting element 2 that can be fixed to a roof or other constructional element in an arbitrary way known from the state of art and not shown in the drawing such as welding, riveting, by means of mounting bolts, etc.
The mounting element 2 has a longitudinal mounting groove 22. A mounting bolt 3 with a head 31 provided with torque applying means 32 passes through a bracket 6 securing it to the longitudinal mounting element 2 in a way that shall be described in detail with reference to the drawing Figs. 3-6. The mounting bolt 3 enters the mounting groove 22 and passes through a threaded bore 41 in a cylindrical element 4 defining a first axis A substantially perpendicular to a second axis B of the mounting bolt 3. A cam clamping member 5 is disposed rotationally around the cylindrical element 4. To this end the cam clamping member 5 is provided with a bolt groove, defined by two second bolt groove surfaces 55 crossing the axis A, at both sides of the threaded bore 41 in which the bolt 3 is disposed, and joined with a first bolt groove surface 54 extending along the first axis A. The depth of the groove 54, 55 in a plane perpendicular to the first axis A is at least equal to the diameter of the threaded bore 41 .
The bracket 6 can be used to attach some constructional element 7 such as a solar panel to the mounting element 2, as shown in Figs. 1 and 9. Obviously, in other embodiment of the invention, the constructional element 7 can be attached directly (i.e. , without any bracket) to the mounting element 2 using mounting bolts 3.
The mounting groove 22 has a blocking recess 24 that extends perpendicularly to the plane defined by the first axis A and the second axis B. As shown in Fig. 3 the process of attaching the mounting assembly 1 begins with inserting the mounting bolt 3 along with the cylindrical element 4 and the clamping member 5 into the mounting groove 22 with axis A oriented in parallel to the axis of the mounting groove 22. During this insertion the blocking projection 52 hangs freely pointing towards the mounting groove 22, as indicated by an arrow.
The clamping member 5 is provided with a blocking projection 52 terminated with a cylindrical guiding surface 53 having radius r and axis A2 substantially parallel to the axis A of the cylindrical element 4. On the other hand, the mounting groove 22 is provided with a substantially cylindrical guiding surface 23 having radius R at its end and axis A1 also substantially parallel to the axis A of the cylindrical element 4. The curvature (1/R) of the guiding surface 23 of the mounting groove 22 is smaller than the curvature (1/r) of the guiding surface 53 of the blocking projection 52.
As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, at a certain point of this insertion the guiding surface 53 of the clamping member 5 engages and slides over the guiding surface 23 of the mounting groove 22 rotating the clamping member 5 around the cylindrical element 4, as shown with an arrow. The clamping member 5 is provided with a mounting hook 51. At a certain angle of this induced rotation of the clamping member 5 around the axis A, the mounting hook 51 engages a mounting projection 21 in the mounting groove 22.
To secure the position of the clamping member 5 in the mounting groove 22, the mounting bolt 3 is screwed, as shown with an arrow in Fig. 6, into the threaded bore 41 until the tip 33 of the screw abuts the surface of the mounting groove 22, as shown in Fig. 6. Thus, the bolt 3 pushes the cylindrical element 4 in which it is screwed in, towards the clamping member 5. The clamping member 5 moves upward and its mounting hook 51 engages the mounting projection 21. At the same time, the surface of the bolt 3 engages the first bolt groove surface 54 of the clamping member 5 firmly securing the position of the mounting assembly 1 .
In order to detach the cylindrical element 4, the clamping member 5, and the bolt from the longitudinal mounting element 2, one unscrews the bolt 3 and reverses the steps shown in Figs. 3-6. The figures are not necessarily to scale and some features may be exaggerated or minimized. The above embodiments of the present invention are therefore merely exemplary. These and other factors however should not be considered as limiting the spirit of the invention, the intended scope of protection of which is indicated in appended claims.
