Two ends of each of the lintels are fixedly provided on a transverse beam of one of the support bodies and a transverse beam of an adjacent support body, respectively. Each of the support bodies further includes a strengthened beam fixedly provided between the two supporting columns. The present invention has a lower cost, corrosion protection, long service life, higher structural strength, good normability, is capable of site pouring and adapted for any amount of solar energy devices.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION[0001]1. Field of Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a support frame, and more particularly to a support frame for solar energy device.[0003]2. Description of Related Arts[0004]With the rapid development of social economy, the reserves of oil, coal and other non-renewable energy sources are getting fewer and fewer, and the price is getting higher and higher. Nowadays, solar energy as one of important clean energies is paid more and more attention and widely used, such as a flat-plate solar collector and a solar panel. Obviously, it is unavoidable to need the support frame while installing and utilizing the above solar energy devices.[0005]The currently common support frame for solar energy device is mainly made of aluminium alloy and angle iron. The aluminium alloy support frame has a light weight and is convenient for being transported. However, it needs additional devices, such as cement columns, while fixed on the ground. In additio...

Benefits of technology

[0007]An object of the present invention is to provide a support frame for solar energy device, which has a lower cost, corrosion protection, long service life, higher structural strength, good normability, is capable of site pouring and adapted for any amount of solar energy devices.

[0008]Accordingly, in order to accomplish the above object, the present invention provides a support frame for solar energy device, comprising at least two support bodies, and at least two lintels, each of which being provided between the two support bodies, wherein the two lintels are adapted for supporting the solar energy device, wherein each of the support bodies and each of the lintels is made of reinforced concrete so as to reduce the manufacture cost, increase the structural strength, prevent corrosion and extend service life.

[0011]Each of the support bodies further comprises a strengthened beam fixedly provided between the two supporting columns for strengthening a structural strength of each of the support bodies, wherein the strengthened beam is parallel to the ground, one end of the strengthened beam is fixedly provided at a top end of a lower supporting column of the two supporting columns, in such a manner that the strengthened beam, the transverse beam and a higher supporting column of the two supporting columns define a triangle so as to increase effectively the structural strength of each of the support bodies.

[0012]Each of the support bodies and two lintels has a hollow structure not only to strengthen a structural strength, but also to reduce a weight.

[0013]Therefore, the support frame for solar energy device of the present invention, made of reinforced concrete, has a lower cost, corrosion protection, long service life, higher structural strength, good normability, is capable of site pouring and adapted for any amount of solar energy devices.

Problems solved by technology

Obviously, it is unavoidable to need the support frame while installing and utilizing the above solar energy devices.

However, it needs additional devices, such as cement columns, while fixed on the ground.

In addition, the aluminium alloy support frame has a higher manufacture cost and insufficient structural strength.

As a result, once encountering strong wind, the aluminium alloy support frame is easy to be damaged, the service life is affected accordingly.

The angle iron support frame has a sufficient structural strength, but poor corrosion resistance, thus it is easy to be corroded and rusted while long-term exposed to outdoors, the sun and rain.

Accordingly, the service life of the angle iron support frame is affected.

In addition, the angle iron support frame is manufactured by cutting and welding and needs site welding so that the difficulty of installation is increased.

The former wastes materials, increases cost and has a bad stability, the latter needs redesigning for different amounts of solar energy devices and can't be common used, thus increases cost, and has a lower re-using rate.
