[0029] In order to make the technical problem solved by the present invention, the technical solution adopted and the technical effect achieved more clearly, the technical solution of the present invention is further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0030] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the referred device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0031] In addition, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features, and are used to distinguish and describe features, without distinction of order or importance. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0032] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0033] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 4 The specific structure of the solar panel supporting structure according to the embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the solar panel support structure of the embodiment of the present invention includes a base 1, a support member 2, a positioning block 3 and a push-telescopic structure 4, the base 1 can be connected to the solar panel, the support member 2 is rotatably arranged on the base 1, the support member 2 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 211 distributed along its circumferential direction, the positioning block 3 is slidably arranged on the base 1, and the positioning block 3 is provided with a positioning column 31 corresponding to the positioning hole 211, the push-telescopic structure 4 is connected to the positioning block 3, and is penetrated on the base 1, and the push-telescopic structure 4 has a contracted state and an extended state achieved by pressing; wherein: in the contracted state, the positioning column 31 is engaged in the positioning hole 211 to lock the support member 2 relative to the base 1; in the extended state, the positioning column 31 is disengaged from the positioning hole 211 to enable the support member 2 to rotate relative to the base 1.

[0035] It can be understood that since the push-to-telescopic structure 4 has a retracted state and an extended state that can be achieved by pressing, it is only necessary to press the positioning block 3 when the support member 2 needs to be adjusted, and the operation is very convenient. After the adjustment is completed, the positioning block 3 can be pressed again to lock the support member 2 on the base 1. Not only is the locking operation convenient, but it can also ensure that the support member 2 remains at a certain angle to the base 1, which is convenient for the use of the solar panel.

[0036] In addition, since the support member 2 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 211 spaced apart along its circumference, the support member 2 has a plurality of fixed angles to support the solar panel to form a plurality of tilt angles to maximize the use of solar energy.

[0037] The solar panel support structure of this embodiment has a plurality of positioning posts 31 on the positioning block 3, and the positioning block 3 is connected to a press-telescopic structure 4 which can be contracted and extended by pressing, so that the support member 2 can be locked and unlocked by pressing the positioning block 3, thereby simplifying the adjustment operation of the support member 2 and enabling the support member 2 to have a plurality of fixed angles, so that the solar panel can always receive the strongest light, thereby improving the energy conversion rate of the solar panel and facilitating the promotion and use of portable solar panels.

[0038] In some embodiments, the base 1 is provided with a first ear 11 and a second ear 12 that are spaced apart, and the support member 2 has a pivot portion 21, and the pivot portion 21 is located between the first ear 11 and the second ear 12. The first ear 11 is provided with a first pivot shaft 111, the second ear 12 is provided with a second pivot shaft 121, and the pivot portion 21 is provided with a first pivot hole 212 that matches the first pivot shaft 111 and a second pivot hole 213 that matches the second pivot shaft 121. Therefore, there is no need to separately provide a rod that is inserted through the pivot portion 21 and rotatably connected to the first ear 11 and the second ear 12, which simplifies the structure of the entire solar panel support structure, reduces the production cost of the solar panel support structure, and facilitates the promotion and use of portable solar modules.

[0039] In some specific embodiments, the first ear portion 11 is provided with a first through hole 112 and a plurality of second through holes 113 arranged around the first through hole 112, the positioning block 3 is located outside the first ear portion 11, and the positioning post 31 can pass through the second through hole 113 and fit in the positioning hole 211. Thus, the positioning post 31 can pass through the first ear portion 11 and be inserted into the positioning hole 211 of the pivoting portion 21, thereby ensuring the locking effect of the positioning block 3 on the pivoting portion 21.

[0040] In some more specific embodiments, the inner peripheral wall of the first through hole 112 is provided with a plurality of guide protrusions 114 distributed along the circumference thereof, a first gap 115 is formed between two adjacent guide protrusions 114, and a second gap 116 is provided on each guide protrusion 114. The pressing and telescopic structure 4 is slidably disposed in the first through hole 112. The pressing and telescopic structure 4 includes an elastic member 41, a rotating member 42 and a pressing member 43. The elastic member 41 is fitted in the first through hole 112. One side of the elastic member 41 is provided with a plurality of guide protrusions 114. The end of the pressing member 43 is mounted on the pivoting portion 21, and one end of the rotating member 42 is mounted on the other end of the elastic member 41. A ridge 421 is provided on the outer wall of the rotating member 42, and a latch tooth 422 is provided at one end of the ridge 421. One end of the pressing member 43 is connected to the positioning block 3, and the other end is sleeved on the rotating member 42. The pressing member 43 is sleeved on one end of the rotating member 42 and is provided with ratchet teeth 431 distributed along its circumference, and a slider 432 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the pressing member 43, which can be slidably fitted in the first gap 115. In the retracted state, the ridge 421 fits in the second gap 116 so that the positioning column 31 is inserted into the positioning hole 211; in the extended state, the ridge 421 fits in the first gap 115 so that the positioning column 31 is disengaged from the positioning hole 211; when the pressing member 43 is pressed, the ratchet teeth 431 and the latch teeth 422 are staggered so that the latch teeth 422 can rotate relative to the ratchet teeth 431 so that the ridge 421 fits in the first gap 115 or the second gap 116.

[0041] It is understandable that, when the support member 2 is used, the convex rib 421 is in a vertical state, and the convex rib 421 is matched in the second gap 116 so that the positioning column 31 is inserted into the positioning hole 211. When the pressing member 43 is pressed, the convex rib 421 gradually disengages from the second gap 116. When the convex rib 421 is completely disengaged from the second gap 116, the rotating member 42 is still rotated due to the pressing process. When the external force is removed, the rotating member 42 will be reset under the elastic force of the elastic member 41. Since the rotating member 42 has already rotated, when the external force is removed, the convex rib 421 cannot be inserted into the second gap 116. Instead, it is gradually inserted into the first gap 115 during the process of the rotating member 42 being reset. When the convex rib 421 is inserted into the first gap 115, the positioning column 31 can be disengaged from the positioning hole 211, so that the support member 2 can rotate relative to the base 1. On the contrary, after the adjustment is completed, the positioning block 3 is pressed again (i.e., the pressing member 43 is pressed), and the ridge 421 gradually disengages from the first gap 115 during the pressing process. When the ridge 421 completely disengages from the first gap 115, the pressing process continues, causing the rotating member 42 to rotate. At this time, the external force is removed, and the rotating member 42 will reset under the elastic force of the elastic member 41. Since the rotating member 42 has already rotated, the ridge 421 cannot be inserted into the first gap 115 when the external force is removed. Instead, it is gradually inserted into the second gap 116 during the resetting process of the rotating member 42. After the ridge 421 is inserted into the second gap 116, the rotating member 42 will not be completely reset under the elastic force, and the pressing member 43 will not be completely pushed out by the rotating member 42, so the positioning column 31 on the positioning hole 3 will still be inserted into the positioning hole 211, and the support member 2 cannot rotate relative to the base 1. Therefore, the positioning column 31 can be inserted into or out of the positioning hole 211 by simply pressing the positioning block 3 during the entire process, which simplifies the adjustment operation of the support member 2 and facilitates the user to adjust the support member 2.

[0042] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 5-Figure 8 As shown, the ratchet 431 has a first tooth surface 4311 and a second tooth surface 4312 arranged vertically, the latching tooth 422 has a matching tooth surface 4221 parallel to the first tooth surface 4311, the opening end of the first gap 115 has a first guide slope 1151 parallel to the plane of the first tooth surface 4311, and the second gap 116 has a second guide slope 1161 parallel to the plane of the first tooth surface 4311. It can be understood that the parallelism between the first tooth surface 4311 and the matching tooth surface 4221 can facilitate the pushing action of the ratchet 431 and the latching tooth 422, thereby ensuring that the rotating member 42 can stably rotate and slide in the axial direction, and the additional first guide slope 1151 and the second guide slope 1161 can ensure that the convex ridge 421 can stably enter the first gap 115 and the second gap 116, thereby ensuring that the rotating member 42 can stably rotate and move in the circumferential direction.

[0043] It should be additionally explained here that, in other embodiments of the present invention, the press-telescopic structure 4 can be formed into other press structures. For example, the press-telescopic structure 4 can include a three-dimensional cam, and the outer periphery of the three-dimensional cam is provided with a sliding groove arranged along its axial direction. A roller is fitted in the sliding groove, and the roller is connected to the positioning block 3 through a connecting rod. When the positioning block 3 is pressed, the three-dimensional cam can be driven to rotate to adjust the height of the positioning block 3.

[0044] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the pressing member 43 is connected to the positioning block 3 through the connecting member 44. In this way, the connection stability between the pressing member 43 and the positioning block 3 can be better ensured, so that the pressing member 43 can be pressed when the user presses the positioning block 3. It should be supplemented here that, in this embodiment, the connecting member 44 can select connecting structural members such as screws, studs, pins, etc. according to actual needs, and the specific model of the connecting member 44 is not limited here. In addition, in some embodiments of the present invention, the pressing member 43 can be bonded or riveted to the positioning block 3, or the pressing member 43 can be directly integrally formed on the positioning block 3.

[0045] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the second ear portion 12 is provided with a plurality of positioning protrusions 122 arranged around the second pivot axis 121, and the support member 2 is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 214, and the positioning protrusions 122 are arranged one by one with the positioning grooves 214, and when the positioning protrusions 122 are inserted into the positioning grooves 214, the positioning column 31 can be inserted into the positioning hole 211. It can be understood that, according to the foregoing, the positioning column 31 can only be inserted into the positioning hole 211 when the positioning column 31 corresponds to the positioning hole 211, that is, the rotation adjustment of the support member 2 is a step-by-step adjustment (and the rotation angle of the rotating member 42 is an integer multiple of the minimum rotation angle), so after the adjustment is completed, if the positioning block 3 is not pressed, it is not known whether the positioning column 31 is aligned with the positioning hole 211 at this time, which will cause the adjustment process of repeatedly adjusting the positioning column 31 to position it with the positioning hole 211, which increases the difficulty of the adjustment operation and causes the problem of inconvenience in adjusting the support member 2.

[0046] In this embodiment, a positioning protrusion 122 is provided on the second ear portion 12, and a positioning groove 214 is provided on the support member 2. When the positioning protrusion 122 and the positioning groove 214 are aligned, the positioning column 31 can be inserted into the positioning hole 211. Therefore, after the adjustment is completed, the support member 2 can be pre-positioned by simply inserting the positioning protrusion 122 into the positioning groove 214, without repeatedly pressing the positioning block 3 to confirm whether the positioning column 31 is aligned with the positioning hole 211, so that the user can adjust the support member 2 more conveniently.

[0047] In addition, the second ear positioning protrusion 122 is interference-fitted with the positioning groove 214 , and a stuck feeling is formed during the rotation of the support member 2 , so that the user can adjust the support member 2 more conveniently.

[0048] Preferably, the number of the positioning protrusions 122 is the same as the number of the positioning posts 31, and the central angle between two positioning protrusions 122 is equal to the central angle between two positioning posts 31. This can further facilitate the pre-positioning of the support member 2.

[0049] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the positioning protrusion 122 and the positioning groove 214 can be selected into elliptical, circular, oblong or square shapes according to actual needs, and the specific shapes of the positioning protrusion 122 and the positioning groove 214 are not limited here.

[0050] In some embodiments, Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, the second ear 12 is detachably connected to the base 1, the base 1 is provided with a guide rail 13, the guide rail 13 is provided with a through matching hole 131, the second ear 12 is provided with a guide slot 123 matched with the guide rail 13, and the second ear 12 is fixed to the base 1 through a matching piece matched in the matching hole 131. It can be understood that when the size of the solar panel is different, the required width of the support member 2 may also be different. The second ear 12 can adjust the distance between the second ear 12 and the first ear 11 through the matching of the guide rail 13 and the guide slot 123, so as to meet the needs of the support members 2 of different widths. At the same time, the set guide rail 13 and the guide slot 123 can limit the sliding direction of the second ear 12, thereby avoiding the phenomenon that the second ear 12 is skewed, causing the rotation axis of the support member 2 to be skewed and causing the support member 2 to be stuck during the rotation process. In addition, fine adjustment between the second ear 12 and the first ear 11 can facilitate installation and removal of the support member 2, avoiding the difficulty in inserting the support member 2 into the gap between the second ear 12 and the second ear 12 caused by the fixed distance between the first ear 11 and the second ear 12.

[0051] Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the second ear portion 12 can be directly fixed to the base 1 through a matching piece inserted into the matching hole 131, and there is no need to provide the guide rail 13 and the guide slot 123.

[0052] It should be additionally explained here that, in the present embodiment, the mating parts may be selected from connecting structural parts such as screws, studs, pins, etc. according to actual needs, and the specific models of the mating parts are not limited here.

[0053] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, the support member 2 includes a main body 22 and a buckle 23, the lower end of the main body 22 is provided with a lifting portion 221 and a clamping slot 222, and the buckle 23 has a clamping protrusion 231 that cooperates with the clamping slot 222. It can be understood that in actual use, when the position of the support member 2 relative to the base 1 is not adjusted, the buckle 23 is attached to the main body 22, which can ensure the connection stability between the support member 2 and the solar panel, that is, the buckle 23 can clamp the support member to the solar panel, avoiding the phenomenon that the support member 2 is separated from the solar panel when not in use.

[0054] Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, a rotatable support block may be directly provided at the lower end of the main body 22, which can also achieve the function of ensuring the placement stability of the solar panel.

[0055] Example:

[0057] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the solar panel support structure of this embodiment includes a base 1, a support member 2, a positioning block 3 and a pressing and telescopic structure 4.

[0058] The base 1 can be connected to the solar panel. The base 1 is provided with a first ear portion 11 and a second ear portion 12 arranged at intervals.

A first pivot shaft 111 is provided on the side of the first ear portion 11 facing the second ear portion 12. A first through hole 112 penetrating the first pivot shaft 111 and eight second through holes 113 arranged around the first through hole 112 are provided on the bottom wall of the first receiving groove 117. Eight evenly distributed guide protrusions 114 are provided on the side wall of the first through hole 112. A first gap 115 is formed between two adjacent guide protrusions 114.

The push-telescopic structure 4 includes an elastic member 41, a rotating member 42, a pressing member 43 and a connecting member 44.

[0061] A convex ridge 421 is provided on the outer wall of the rotating member 42, and a latching tooth 422 is provided at one end of the convex ridge 421. The pressing member 43 is sleeved on one end of the rotating member 42 and is provided with ratchet teeth 431 distributed along the circumference thereof, and a slider 432 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the pressing member 43 to slidably fit in the first gap 115. The ratchet tooth 431 has a first tooth surface 4311 and a second tooth surface 4312 arranged vertically, and the latching tooth 422 has a matching tooth surface 4221 parallel to the first tooth surface 4311. The first guiding inclined surface 1151 of the first gap 115 is parallel to the plane of the first tooth surface 4311, and the second guiding inclined surface 1161 of the second gap 116 is parallel to the first tooth surface 4311.

[0062] The working principle of the solar panel support structure of this embodiment is as follows:

[0063] When in use, the support member 2 is in a vertical state, and the positioning column 31 on the positioning block 3 is inserted into the positioning hole 211, that is, the support member 2 cannot rotate at this time. Figure 5As shown, the convex ridge 421 fits in the second gap 116, and the lower end of the mating tooth surface 4221 of the latching tooth 422 stops on the first tooth surface 4311 and is located above the junction of the first tooth surface 4311 and the second tooth surface 4312. At this time, the positioning block 3 is pressed (i.e., the pressing member 43 is pressed), and the convex ridge 421 gradually disengages from the second gap 116 during the pressing process. When the convex ridge 421 completely disengages from the second gap 116, since the pressing process continues, the first tooth surface 4311 will push the mating tooth surface 4221 to rotate slightly, and the lower end of the mating tooth surface 4221 stops at the junction of the first tooth surface 4311 and the second tooth surface 4312 (i.e., Figure 6 The state shown). At this time, the external force is removed, and the rotating member 42 will reset under the elastic force of the elastic member 41. Since the rotating member 42 has already rotated, the ridge 421 cannot be inserted into the second gap 116 when the external force is removed. Instead, during the process of resetting the rotating member 42, the mating tooth surface 4221 moves to a position in contact with the second guide tooth surface. Under the action of the second guide tooth surface, the entire rotating member 42 will rotate more significantly, so that the latch tooth 422 is gradually inserted into the first gap 115, until the lower end of the mating tooth surface 4221 of the latch tooth 422 stops on the other first tooth surface 4311 and is located above the junction of the first tooth surface 4311 and the second tooth surface 4312 (i.e. Figure 7 As the depth of the second gap 116 is smaller than the depth of the first gap 115, the positioning block 3 is completely pushed out by the rotating member 42, and the positioning column 31 pops out from the positioning hole 211, that is, the support member 2 can rotate relative to the base 1.

[0064] In such Figure 7 In the state shown, the support member 2 can rotate relative to the base 1, and the positioning protrusion 122 and the pivot part 21 are interference fit. During the rotation of the support member 2, the positioning protrusion 122 can be inserted into or disengaged from the positioning groove 214 in turn, thereby producing a corresponding positioning feel. When the support member 2 has been rotated to a suitable position, the positioning protrusion 122 on the second ear 12 can be inserted into the positioning groove 214 of the pivot part 21 to achieve pre-positioning of the support member 2.

[0065] Then, the positioning block 3 is pressed again (i.e., the pressing member 43 is pressed). During the pressing process, the ridge 421 gradually disengages from the first gap 115. When the ridge 421 completely disengages from the first gap 115, the pressing process continues, and the first tooth surface 4311 pushes the mating tooth surface 4221 to rotate slightly, and the lower end of the mating tooth surface 4221 stops at the junction of the first tooth surface 4311 and the second tooth surface 4312 (i.e., Figure 8When the external force is removed, the rotating member 42 will reset under the elastic force of the elastic member 41. Since the rotating member 42 has already rotated, the ridge 421 cannot be inserted into the first gap 115 when the external force is removed. Instead, during the process of resetting the rotating member 42, the mating tooth surface 4221 moves to a position in contact with the first tooth surface 4311. Under the guidance of the first tooth surface 4311, the entire rotating member 42 will rotate more significantly so that the latching tooth 422 is gradually inserted into the second gap 116 until the lower end of the mating tooth surface 4221 of the latching tooth 422 stops against the other first tooth surface 4311 and is located above the junction of the first tooth surface 4311 and the second tooth surface 4312 (i.e. Figure 5 In the state shown in the figure, since the depth of the second gap 116 is smaller than the depth of the first gap 115, when the ridge 421 is inserted into the second gap 116, the rotating member 42 will not be completely reset under the action of the elastic force, and the pressing member 43 will not be completely pushed out by the rotating member 42, so the positioning column 31 on the positioning hole 3 will be inserted into the positioning hole 211, that is, the support member 2 is locked relative to the base 1, and the adjustment process is completed.
