Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、瓦屋根に太陽電池モジュールを設置するために使用する瓦及び連結部材と、該瓦及び連結部材を使用した太陽電池モジュール設置屋根に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、瓦屋根に太陽電池モジュールを設置する場合、金属瓦を普通の瓦と混在させると共に、該金属瓦に太陽電池モジュールを固定したり、或いは瓦屋根上に構築した架台に太陽電池モジュールを固定する様にしている。又、瓦自体に太陽電池モジュールを一体化したものも見受けられる。
しかし、前者の場合、規則的に金属瓦を混在させねばならなかったり、瓦葺設後に別途構築する架台用の取付金具を瓦の葺設段階において設置せねばならず、太陽電池モジュールの設置作業が面倒であり、後者の場合、防水機能を具備させるべく太陽電池モジュール用の配線を瓦の下面側へ引き込むため、配線作業が困難であることから、瓦自体に太陽電池モジュールを組み込んで、施工作業性及び配線作業性を向上させたものが見受けられる（例えば、特許文献１参照）。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、上記従来技術にあっては、太陽電池モジュールに不具合が生じた場合、それが固定された瓦を屋根から外して新しい太陽電池モジュール一体型瓦を葺き直さねばならず、メンテナンス作業が困難である等、解決せねばならない課題があった。
【０００５】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、上記従来技術に基づく、メンテナンス作業が困難な課題に鑑み、太陽電池モジュールの設置箇所に葺設された太陽電池モジュール設置用瓦における係合突起を、桁行方向に長い太陽電池モジュールに対し着脱自在に装着された複数個の連結部材における挿入口内に挿通させた後、太陽電池モジュールを前方（流れ方向の下方側）へスライドさせて、係合突起における係止突部の下方に、連結部材の基体部の底板部材における挿入口の外周部位を位置させると共に、連結部材の底部に設けた弾性部の復元力により、係合突起の係止突部に連結部材における挿入口の外周部位が係止され、弾性部における係止片を、瓦の頭側に形成した係止部に係止して、瓦上に固定され桁行方向に配列された連結部材上に、桁行方向に長い太陽電池モジュールを載架、固定する様にしたことによって、設置作業の容易化を図る様にすると共に、配線作業を、隣接する太陽電池モジュールのコードを単に接続するだけの作業にし、更に太陽電池モジュールを連結部材から外せる様にして、上記課題を解決する。

太陽電池モジュール２、２ａ…に装着された複数個の連結部材３、３ａ…における挿入口１６内に、瓦１、１ａ…における係合突起４を挿通させる過程において、先ず連結部材３、３ａ…における弾性部１７、１７ａの先端部が瓦１、１ａ…の上面に当接し、太陽電池モジュール２、２ａ…を下方押圧して弾性部１７、１７ａを序々に変形させながら最終的に挿入口１６内に瓦１、１ａ…の係合突起４の上部を挿通させる（図７（ａ）、（ｂ）参照）。
次に、太陽電池モジュール２、２ａ…を前方（流れ方向の下方側）へスライドさせて、係合突起４における係止突部５を、連結部材３、３ａ…の基体部７の底板部材７ａにおける挿入口１６の外周部位の上方に位置させ、前方の弾性部１７の係止片１８の先端が、瓦１、１ａ…における係止部６の上面６ａの頭側端部に至ると、弾性部１７の復元力により係止片１８が係止部６の上面６ａから外れて、係止片１８の内側面が係止部６の頭側面６ｂに当接し、太陽電池モジュール２、２ａ…から手を放すと、弾性部１７、１７ａの弾性復元力により連結部材３、３ａ…が上動して、係合突起４における係止突部５の下部に、連結部材３、３ａ…の基体部７の底板部材７ａにおける挿入口１６の外周部位が密接すると共に、前方の弾性部１７の係止片１８が係止部６の上面６ａに密接状態となる（図７（ｃ）参照）。
最後に、隣接する太陽電池モジュール２、２ａ…用の配線コード（図示せず）を接続すると共に、連結部材３、３ａ…における配線クリップ１９内に纏めて掛ける様に収容する。
又、太陽電池モジュール２、２ａ…に連結部材３、３ａ…を装着するには、先ず前方の押さえ板部材１２を外した連結部材３、３ａ…上に太陽電池モジュール２、２ａ…を載架した後、上記押さえ板部材１２を固定板部材１１の上部に取り付ける様にしている。
又、太陽電池モジュール２、２ａ…を、瓦１、１ａ…に固定状態のままの連結部材３、３ａ…から取り外すには、連結部材３、３ａ…における前方の押さえ板部材１２を外した後、太陽電池モジュール２、２ａ…を前方側（流れ方向の下方側）へ引く様にしている（図７（ｄ）参照）。

【００１２】
次に本発明に係る瓦屋根における瓦と太陽電池モジュールの連結構造の作用について説明する。
瓦１、１ａ…における係合突起４の係止突部５の下方が、太陽電池モジュール２、２ａ…を固定した連結部材３、３ａ…の基体部７の底板部材７ａにおける挿入口１６の外周部位の上方に位置することから、強風下であっても太陽電池モジュール２、２ａ…が吹き飛ばされない。
更に、連結部材３、３ａ…の弾性部１７、１７ａの弾性復元力により、連結部材３、３ａ…の基体部７の底板部材７ａにおける挿入口１６の外周部位が、瓦１、１ａ…の係止突部５の下部に押圧されて、瓦１、１ａ…に対し太陽電池モジュール２、２ａ…が一体化される。
【００１３】
【発明の効果】
要するに本発明は、太陽電池モジュール２、2a…の設置箇所に葺設した瓦１、1a…における係合突起４を、連結部材３、3a…における挿入口16に挿通したので、葺設状態の瓦１、1a…に連結部材３、3a…を直接取り付けることが出来るため、瓦１、1a…を葺設中に太陽電池モジュール架台用の取付金具などを設置せずに、或いは専用の金属瓦を混在させずに、太陽電池モジュール２、2a…を設置することが出来、よって太陽電池モジュール２、2a…の設置作業の容易化を図ることが出来、且つ配線作業は隣接する太陽電池モジュール２、2a…のコードを単に接続するだけであるため、配線作業の簡略化を図ることが出来る。
而も、連結部材３、3a…の底部に設けた弾性部17、17a の復元力により係合突起４の係止突部５に連結部材３、3a…における挿入口16の外周部位を係止すると共に、弾性部17における係止片18を、瓦１、1a…の頭側に形成した係止部６に係止し、桁行方向に配列された連結部材３、3a…上に桁行方向に長い太陽電池モジュール２、2a…を載架、固定したので、連結部材３、3a…から係合突起４の上端部が抜けないため、強風等により太陽電池モジュール２、2a…が吹き飛ばず、瓦１、1a…と略一体化することが出来る。
更に、弾性部17、17a の復元力により、瓦１、1a…側の係合突起４における係止突部５の下部に、連結部材３、3a…における挿入口16の外周部位を押圧密着させることが出来るため、瓦１、1a…と太陽電池モジュール２、2a…の一体性の向上を図ることが出来、耐風機能を具備させることが出来る。
又、連結部材３、3a…と太陽電池モジュール２、2a…が分離可能であるため、瓦１、1a…から連結部材３、3a…を外さずに太陽電池モジュール２、2a…だけを取り外したり、瓦１、1a…を葺設状態のまま連結部材３、3a…を取り外すことが出来るため、太陽電池モジュール２、2a…、連結部材３、3a…の交換等のメンテナンス作業を簡単に行うことが出来る。
【００１４】
断面逆門型状の基体部７の両側上部より外方へ太陽電池モジュール２、２ａ…の受承板部８、８ａを連続形成したので、かかる連結部材３、３ａ…上に太陽電池モジュール２、２ａ…を安定状態で載置することが出来る。
又、基体部７の両端部より上方へ位置決め板部９、９ａを立設すると共に、該位置決め板部９、９ａにおける基体部７の上部より突出した上端部に、内方へ突出する押さえ板部１０、１０ａを形成したので、位置決め板部９、９ａにより太陽電池モジュール２、２ａ…の流れ方向へのずれを防止すると共に、受承板部８、８ａと押さえ板部１０、１０ａで太陽電池モジュール２、２ａ…を上下挟着することで、連結部材３、３ａ…に対する太陽電池モジュール２、２ａ…の強風による捲れ上がりを防止することが出来る。
又、基体部７の底部に挿入口１６を形成したので、瓦１、１ａ…における係合突起４を挿入口１６に挿通させた後、連結部材３、３ａ…をスライドさせれば、係合突起４における係止突部５が、基体部７における挿入口１６の外周部位の上方に位置して、瓦１、１ａ…に対する連結部材３、３ａ…の上動を規制することが出来るため、連結部材３、３ａ…に対する太陽電池モジュール２、２ａ…の強風による捲れ上がりも防止されていることと相俟って、瓦１、１ａ…、即ち瓦屋根に対し太陽電池モジュール２、２ａ…を一体化することが出来、耐風機能の充実化を図ることが出来、而も設置状態における太陽電池モジュール２、２ａ…だけを交換することを実現出来る。
基体部７の底部に設けた弾性部１７、１７ａの基端部を基体部７に一体化したので、連結部材３、３ａ…を瓦１、１ａ…にセットする前後に弾性部１７、１７ａを挟入する必要が無いため、連結部材３、３ａ…の装着作業の簡易化を図ることが出来る。又、弾性部１７の先端部を下方に屈曲して係止片１８を形成したので、連結部材３、３ａ…の瓦１、１ａ…に対する位置決めを確実に行うことが出来ると共に、瓦１、１ａ…と連結部材３、３ａ…の一体性が向上するため、耐風機能の更なる充実化を図ることが出来る。又、瓦１、１ａ…に対し連結部材３、３ａ…は着脱自在であるため、瓦１、１ａ…を葺設状態のまま連結部材３、３ａ…だけを交換するなどのメンテナンス作業の簡易化を実現出来る。
【００１５】
受承板部８、8aと押さえ板部10、10a で太陽電池モジュール２、2a…を上下挟着することから、そのままでは太陽電池モジュール２、2a…を連結部材３、3a…から外すことが出来ないが、少なくとも一方の位置決め板部９を、基体部７と一体の固定板部材11と、該固定板部材11の上部に着脱自在な逆Ｌ型状の押さえ板部材12とにより構成したので、該押さえ板部材12を外せば、連結部材３、3a…上から太陽電池モジュール２、2a…を取り外すことが出来るため、設置状態における太陽電池モジュール２、2a…だけを交換するなどのメンテナンス作業の簡易化を実現出来る等その実用的効果甚だ大である。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a tile and a connecting member used for installing a solar cell module on a tile roof, and a solar cell module installation roof using the tile and the connecting member.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, when installing a solar cell module on a tile roof, the metal tile is mixed with ordinary tile, and the solar cell module is fixed to the metal tile, or the solar cell module is fixed to a mount constructed on the tile roof. I try to do it. Some roof tiles are integrated with solar cell modules.
However, in the former case, metal roof tiles must be mixed regularly, or a mounting bracket for a stand constructed separately after the roof tile installation must be installed at the roof tile installation stage. In the latter case, the wiring for the solar cell module is drawn to the lower surface side of the roof tile so as to provide a waterproof function. In some cases, the performance and the wiring workability are improved (for example, see Patent Document 1).
[0003]
[Patent Document 1]
Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2003-3612 (pages 2 to 3, FIGS. 1 and 3)
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the above prior art, when a failure occurs in the solar cell module, the roof tile to which the solar cell module is fixed must be removed from the roof, and a new solar cell module-integrated roof tile must be regrown, which makes maintenance work difficult. There was a problem that had to be solved.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In view of the problem that the maintenance work based on the above-mentioned prior art is difficult, the present invention provides a solar cell module having an engagement protrusion on a solar cell module installation roof that is installed in a place where the solar cell module is installed, that is long in the column direction. After being inserted into the insertion port in the plurality of connecting members that are detachably attached, the solar cell module is slid forward (downward in the flow direction) and below the locking projection in the engaging protrusion, The outer peripheral portion of the insertion port in the connecting member is positioned on the engaging projection of the engaging protrusion by the restoring force of the elastic portion provided at the bottom portion of the connecting member and the outer peripheral portion of the insertion port in the bottom plate member of the base portion of the connecting member The locking piece in the elastic part is locked to the locking part formed on the head side of the roof tile, and the sun long in the column direction is placed on the connecting members fixed on the roof tile and arranged in the column direction. Battery By mounting and fixing the module, the installation work is facilitated, and the wiring work is simply performed by connecting the cords of adjacent solar cell modules. The above-mentioned problem is solved by removing the connecting member.
