Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photovoltaic installation, and particularly relates to a novel photovoltaic installation bracket module. Background Art
[0002] Currently, the photovoltaic installation field is still in the era of manual installation. It often takes 4 people to install a photovoltaic panel. After the photovoltaic panel is placed in position, manual bolting and nut tightening are required. This process may also involve the risk of working at height because in some areas, the structure of the photovoltaic bracket will be built at a height of 4 - 5 meters. Labor costs and work risks are problems that need to be solved.
[0003] With the popularization of automation and intelligence, more and more industries have started to use robots for installation. The photovoltaic field has gradually developed a demand for automation, that is, using a robotic manipulator for photovoltaic installation.
[0004] When using a robotic manipulator for photovoltaic installation, there is currently a technical bottleneck. In an outdoor environment, a robot cannot be as flexible as a human to complete a set of continuous actions: automatically clamping bolts, automatically clamping nuts, inserting bolts into the fixing seats between photovoltaic panels, and automatically tightening bolts and nuts cannot be achieved currently. The existing technology can only achieve simply tightening bolts when the bolts are already centered at the fixed position of the nuts. Given the current R & D background, a solution is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present invention provides a photovoltaic installation bracket module for the above problems existing in the prior art, which can adapt to the manipulator of the existing technology, reduce the manipulator installation process, cooperate to achieve automatic installation, and improve the paving efficiency.
[0006] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above technical problems is as follows: A photovoltaic installation bracket module, characterized by comprising
[0007] A module frame, which includes a fixed base and a frame body fixedly connected to the fixed base;
[0008] A bolt, the lower part of which is embedded in the frame body in a manner that can rotate around its axis;
[0009] A nut, sleeved outside the bolt and in threaded cooperation with the bolt, and the nut is fixedly connected to the frame body; the nut and the frame body can be two separate components and are fixedly connected, or the nut and the frame body can be provided as an integral structure;
[0010] A bolt connection block, which is embedded in the frame body in a manner that can move up and down, and is connected to the bolt in a manner that is axially relatively fixed to the bolt and the bolt can rotate around its own axis relative to the bolt connection block;
[0011] At least one pair of hinge connection blocks, which are embedded in the frame body, and one end of each hinge connection block is respectively hinged to the bolt connection block;
[0012] At least one pair of pressing blocks, which are embedded in the frame body, the lower ends of this pair of pressing blocks are hinged together and are hinged to the frame body through this hinge point, and the upper end of each pressing block is hinged to the other end of the corresponding hinge connection block;
[0013] An opening for the pressing block to extend to the outside of the frame body is formed on the side end surface of the frame body;
[0014] The rotation of the bolt within the module frame can press down the bolt connection block, thereby driving the hinge connection block and the pressing block to rotate around the corresponding hinge point, causing the pressing block to extend out through the opening and pressing down the target object through the outer end surface of the pressing block.
[0015] Furthermore, a connection groove for accommodating the bolt is formed at the top of the bolt connection block, and the bottom of the bolt connection block is connected to the connection groove in a manner that can rotate around its own axis. A limit pin for restricting the two from moving along the axial direction of the bolt is also connected between the bolt connection block and the bolt.
[0016] Even further, the limit pin is arranged outside the bolt, and the direction of the limit pin is the same as the circumferential tangent direction of the bolt. An annular groove adapted to the limit pin is formed on the bolt along its circumference.
[0017] Furthermore, a rubber pad is arranged on the outer end surface of the pressing block.
[0018] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: By setting the module frame, specific bolt structure, bolt connection block, hinge connection block, pressing block and their connection relationships, the present invention combines the photovoltaic installation bolt with the pressing structure into one, which can reduce the process of clamping the bolt and nut and the centering link. The manipulator only needs to tighten the bolt to achieve the pressing of the photovoltaic panel. Brief Description of the Drawings

[0025] The principle and features of the present invention will be described below. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0026] As shown in the attached drawings, the photovoltaic installation bracket module of this embodiment includes a module frame 1. The module frame 1 includes a fixed base 11 and a frame body 12 fixedly connected to the fixed base 11. The fixed base 11 is provided with mounting holes; a bolt connection block 4, a hinge connection block 5, and a pressing block 6 are embedded in the frame body 12. An opening 9 for the pressing block 6 to extend to the outside of the frame body 12 is provided on the side end surface of the frame body 12; the photovoltaic installation bracket module further includes a bolt 2 and a nut 3. The lower part of the bolt is embedded in the frame body 12 in a manner that can rotate around its axis. The nut 3 is sleeved outside the bolt 2 and is in threaded cooperation with the bolt 2. The nut 3 is fixedly connected to the frame body 12. In this embodiment, the nut 3 is fixedly welded to the top of the frame body 12. In other embodiments, an integral structure of the nut 3 and the frame body 12 can also be adopted. The function is that the rotation movement of the bolt 2 is converted into a linear movement relative to the frame body 12 in the vertical direction through the threaded connection with the nut 3; the bolt connection block 4 is arranged in the frame body 12 in a manner that can move up and down. The bolt connection block 4 is connected to the bolt 2 in a manner that is axially relatively fixed to the bolt 2 and the bolt 2 can rotate around its own axis relative to the bolt connection block 4; the hinge connection block and the pressing block are both arranged in pairs. The upper and lower ends of the hinge connection block are respectively hinged to the lower end of the bolt connection block and the upper end of the pressing block through a pin shaft. The lower ends of the paired pressing blocks 6 are hinged to each other through an intermediate pin shaft 10, and the intermediate pin shaft 10 penetrates through the frame body 12 and is connected thereto. The pressing block 6 is hinged to the frame body 12 through the intermediate pin shaft 10.
[0027] In this embodiment, there are two pairs of hinge connection blocks 5 and pressing blocks 6; however, the number of hinge connection blocks 5 and pressing blocks 6 of the present invention is not limited to two pairs.
[0028] In this embodiment, a connection groove 41 for accommodating the bolt 2 is formed at the top of the bolt connection block 4. The bottom of the bolt connection block 4 is connected to the connection groove 41 in a manner that can rotate around its own axis. A limit pin 71 for restricting the axial movement of the two along the bolt 2 is also connected between the bolt connection block 4 and the bolt 2. The limit pin 71 of this embodiment is arranged outside the bolt 2, and the direction of the limit pin 71 is the same as the circumferential tangent direction of the bolt 2. An annular groove 72 adapted to the limit pin 71 is formed along the circumference of the bolt 2. In this way, the bolt 2 can rotate within the bolt connection block 4 and move up and down together with the bolt connection block 4.
[0029] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: The rotation of the bolt 2 within the module frame 1 can press down the bolt connection block 4, thereby driving the hinge connection block 5 and the pressing block 6 to rotate around the corresponding hinge points, so that the pressing block 6 extends out through the opening 9 and presses down the target object through the outer end face of the pressing block 6. Specifically, the photovoltaic installation support module of the present invention is placed between two adjacent photovoltaic panels. As Figure 4 shown, among them, the two openings 9 on the frame body 12 face one photovoltaic panel respectively. The module frame 1 is installed on the photovoltaic support structure through the mounting holes on the fixed base 11 to achieve the basic fixation. By rotating the bolt, due to the thread fit between the bolt 2 and the nut 3, and the fixed connection between the nut 3 and the frame body 12, the bolt 2 can move downward while rotating, and then drive the bolt connection block 4 to move downward; when the bolt connection block 4 moves downward, a cooperation mechanism is formed between the hinge connection block 5 and the pressing block 6. The left and right pressing blocks 6 will rotate to the unfolded state to both sides through the opening 9 respectively and contact the photovoltaic panels on both sides. A rubber pad 8 is arranged on the outer end face of the pressing block 6. The rubber pad 8 is arranged near the hinge point between the hinge connection block 5 and the pressing block 6. The rubber pad 8 is in direct contact with the photovoltaic panel. The bolt 2 moves downward until the photovoltaic panels on both sides are pressed tightly, completing the installation work.
[0030] Through the present invention, the actions required for photovoltaic installation and pressing fixation are reduced from a set of continuous actions of automatically clamping the bolt, automatically clamping the nut to insert the bolt onto the fixing seat between the photovoltaic panels, and automatically tightening the bolt and the nut to only the action of rotating the bolt, greatly reducing the difficulty of machine installation. That is, in cooperation with the photovoltaic installation support module of the present invention, the automation of photovoltaic installation is improved. When the centering and nut fixing positions that can be achieved by the existing manipulator are adapted, simply tightening the bolt can achieve the pressing and fixation of the photovoltaic panel, reducing the manipulator installation process, cooperating to achieve automatic installation, making automatic installation possible in the field of photovoltaic installation, and having a significant improvement over the prior art.
