Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of photovoltaic power generation equipment technology, and in particular to a flexible photovoltaic support. Background Technology

[0002] Flexible photovoltaic (PV) mounting technology replaces the purlins in traditional rigid mounting systems with steel strands, installing PV panels on rows of these strands. Due to its advantages such as large span, high land utilization, low cost, and short construction period, it is gradually gaining market favor. However, also due to its flexible structural design, current flexible PV mounting systems are mainly of fixed tilt angle, lacking tracking systems similar to conventional rigid systems. This has prevented it from achieving optimal power generation increases, limiting its further expansion in market application. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0004] Therefore, embodiments of the present invention propose a flexible photovoltaic support structure, which features a large span and adjustable tilt angle.

[0005] The flexible photovoltaic support structure of this invention includes: a main frame, a support assembly, multiple connecting assemblies, multiple photovoltaic panels, and a drive assembly. The main frame includes two end columns, a first steel strand, and a second steel strand. The first and second steel strands are arranged parallel to each other. Both ends of the first steel strand are connected to the two end columns, and both ends of the second steel strand are movably connected to the two end columns. The support assembly includes multiple X-shaped support frames with adjustable height. The multiple X-shaped support frames are spaced apart along the length of the first steel strand. Each of the multiple connecting assemblies corresponds one-to-one with one of the multiple X-shaped support frames, and each connecting assembly includes a central connector. The system includes a central connector located on the first steel strand, a cross point of the X-shaped support frame rotatably connected to the central connector, an end connector located on the second steel strand, a lower end of the X-shaped support frame rotatably connected to the end connector, the second steel strand used to adjust the height of the support frame, multiple photovoltaic panels corresponding one-to-one with multiple X-shaped support frames, a photovoltaic panel rotatably connected to the upper end of the X-shaped support frame, the X-shaped support frame used to adjust the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel, and a drive assembly connected to the second steel strand used to drive the second steel strand to move to adjust the height of the support frame.

[0006] The flexible photovoltaic support system of this invention mounts multiple photovoltaic panels on steel strands, increasing the overall span and land utilization rate compared to traditional rigid supports. Furthermore, through the combined action of the steel strands and the X-shaped support frame, the second steel strand is raised to adjust the height of the X-shaped support frame, thereby simultaneously adjusting the tilt angle of multiple photovoltaic panels. This allows the photovoltaic panels to deflect according to the movement of the sun, increasing overall power generation. It also avoids the difficulties and low efficiency caused by adjusting the tilt angle of only one photovoltaic panel at a time, thus improving the adjustment efficiency of multiple photovoltaic panels.

[0007] Therefore, the flexible photovoltaic support structure of this invention solves the problem of tilt angle adjustment for multiple photovoltaic panels.

[0008] In some embodiments, the X-shaped support frame includes a first support rod, a second support rod, and a connecting shaft. The first support rod and the second support rod are arranged crosswise. The upper end of the first support rod is rotatably connected to the photovoltaic panel, and the lower end of the first support rod is rotatably connected to the end connector. The upper end of the second support rod is rotatably connected to the photovoltaic panel, and the lower end of the second support rod is rotatably connected to the end connector. The first support rod has a first through groove opened along the axial direction of the connecting shaft, and the first through groove extends along the length direction of the first support rod. The second support rod has a second through groove opened along the axial direction of the connecting shaft, and the second through groove extends along the length direction of the second support rod. One end of the connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the central connector, and the connecting shaft passes through the first through groove and the second through groove in sequence.

[0009] In some embodiments, the first support rod has a first slider, which is slidably disposed in the first through groove along the length direction of the first support rod, and the first slider is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft; the second support rod has a second slider, which is slidably disposed in the second through groove along the length direction of the second support rod, and the second slider is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft.

[0010] In some embodiments, the driving assembly includes two driving members, each corresponding to one end of the second steel strand, and the driving members are disposed on the corresponding end posts.

[0011] In some embodiments, the driving component includes a first motor, a housing, a second motor, a stud, and a connecting block. The first motor is mounted on the end post, and the output shaft of the first motor is connected to the housing. The second motor is mounted on the housing, and the housing has a limiting groove extending along the length direction of the housing. The stud is rotatably mounted in the limiting groove, and the second motor is connected to the stud. The connecting block is slidably mounted in the limiting groove, and the connecting block has a threaded hole. The stud and the connecting block are threadedly engaged, and the connecting block is connected to the second steel strand.

[0012] In some embodiments, the central connector includes a central collar and a central sleeve. The central collar is sleeved on the first steel strand, one end of the central sleeve is connected to the central collar, and one end of the connecting shaft is rotatably disposed within the central sleeve. The end connector includes a first collar, a first rotating shaft, a second collar, and a second rotating shaft. Both the first collar and the second collar are sleeved on the second steel strand. One end of the first rotating shaft is connected to the first collar, and the other end of the first rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the lower end of the first support rod. One end of the second rotating shaft is connected to the second collar, and the other end of the second rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the lower end of the second support rod.

[0013] In some embodiments, the main frame further includes a plurality of sub-columns, which are spaced apart along the length of the first steel strand, and the first steel strand is sequentially connected to the plurality of sub-columns.

[0014] In some embodiments, the column is provided with a clearance groove, and the second steel strand passes through the clearance grooves of the multiple columns in sequence.

[0015] In some embodiments, there are two main frames, one supporting component and one driving component, with the two main frames distributed opposite each other on both sides of the photovoltaic panel in the width direction.

[0016] In some embodiments, two of the connecting shafts on any of the photovoltaic panels are connected. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0030] The flexible photovoltaic support according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the flexible photovoltaic support structure of this invention includes: a main frame, a support assembly, multiple connecting assemblies, multiple photovoltaic panels 8, and a drive assembly. The main frame includes two end columns 1, a first steel strand 2, and a second steel strand 3, with the first steel strand 2 and the second steel strand 3 arranged parallel to each other. Both ends of the first steel strand 2 are connected to the two end columns 1, and both ends of the second steel strand 3 are movably connected to the two end columns 1, respectively. The support assembly includes multiple X-shaped support frames 5, the height of which is adjustable. The multiple X-shaped support frames 5 are spaced apart along the length of the first steel strand 2. Multiple connecting assemblies correspond one-to-one with the multiple X-shaped support frames 5. Each connecting assembly includes a central connector 6 and end connectors 7. The central connector 6 is located on the first steel strand 2, and the intersection of the X-shaped support frames 5 is rotatably connected to the central connector 6. The end connectors 7 are located on the second steel strand 3, and the lower end of the X-shaped support frame 5 is rotatably connected to the end connector 7. The second steel strand 3 is used to adjust the height of the support frame. Multiple photovoltaic panels 8 correspond one-to-one with multiple X-shaped support frames 5. The upper ends of the photovoltaic panels 8 and the X-shaped support frames 5 are rotatably connected. The X-shaped support frames 5 are used to adjust the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panels 8. The drive assembly is connected to the second steel strand 3 and is used to drive the second steel strand 3 to move to adjust the height of the support frame.

[0032] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, end posts 1 are arranged vertically, and two end posts 1 are spaced apart horizontally. The first steel strand 2 is located above the second steel strand 3. Both the first steel strand 2 and the second steel strand 3 are arranged horizontally. The left and right ends of the first steel strand 2 are fixedly connected to the two end posts 1, respectively. The left and right ends of the second steel strand 3 are movably connected to the two end posts 1, respectively. The left and right ends of the second steel strand 3 move synchronously, and the first steel strand 2 and the second steel strand 3 remain parallel during the movement.

[0033] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the central connector 6 is fixed to the first steel strand 2, and the end connector 7 is fixed to the second steel strand 3. The intersection point of the X-shaped support frame 5 (that is, the structure of the intersection part of the X-shaped support frame 5) is rotatably connected to the central connector 6, and the lower end of the X-shaped support frame 5 is rotatably connected to the end connector 7. Thus, by moving the second steel strand 3 to adjust the height of the X-shaped support frame 5, the distance between the intersection point of the X-shaped support frame 5 and the lower end of the X-shaped support frame 5 changes during the movement of the second steel strand 3.

[0034] Multiple X-shaped support frames 5 correspond one-to-one with multiple photovoltaic panels 8, and each photovoltaic panel 8 is rotatably mounted on its corresponding X-shaped support frame. By moving the second steel strand 3, the height of the multiple X-shaped support frames 5 and the tilt angle of the multiple photovoltaic panels 8 are adjusted synchronously, ensuring that the photovoltaic panels 8 always face the sun. This not only improves the effectiveness of the photovoltaic panels 8 in generating electricity and the overall power generation, but also saves time in adjusting the tilt angle of the multiple photovoltaic panels 8, thereby improving the adjustment efficiency of the multiple photovoltaic panels 8.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the drive assembly is connected to the second steel strand 3. The drive assembly is used to drive the second steel strand 3 to move in the left-right and up-down directions so that the second steel strand 3 moves closer to or away from the first steel strand 2, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the tilt angle of multiple photovoltaic panels 8.

[0036] The flexible photovoltaic support structure of this invention mounts multiple photovoltaic panels 8 on steel strands, which, compared to traditional rigid supports, increases the overall span and land utilization rate of the support structure. Furthermore, with the combined action of the steel strands and the X-shaped support frame 5, the second steel strand 3 is raised to adjust the height of the X-shaped support frame 5, thereby simultaneously adjusting the tilt angle of multiple photovoltaic panels 8. This allows the photovoltaic panels 8 to deflect according to the movement of the sun, increasing the overall power generation. It also avoids the difficulty and low efficiency of adjusting the tilt angle of only one photovoltaic panel 8 at a time, thus improving the adjustment efficiency of multiple photovoltaic panels 8.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the X-shaped support frame 5 includes a first support rod 51, a second support rod 52, and a connecting shaft 53, with the first support rod 51 and the second support rod 52 arranged crosswise. The upper end of the first support rod 51 is rotatably connected to the photovoltaic panel 8, and the lower end of the first support rod 51 is rotatably connected to the end connector 7. The upper end of the second support rod 52 is rotatably connected to the photovoltaic panel 8, and the lower end of the second support rod 52 is rotatably connected to the end connector 7. The first support rod 51 has a first through groove 511 opened along the axial direction of the connecting shaft 53, extending along the length direction of the first support rod 51. The second support rod 52 has a second through groove 521 opened along the axial direction of the connecting shaft 53, extending along the length direction of the second support rod 52. One end of the connecting shaft 53 is rotatably connected to the central connector 6, and the connecting shaft 53 passes through the first through groove 511 and the second through groove 521 in sequence.

[0038] Optionally, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, both the first support rod 51 and the second support rod 52 are inclined and arranged intersectingly. The lower end surface of the photovoltaic panel 8 has a first protrusion and a second protrusion, with the first protrusion located at the right end of the photovoltaic panel 8 and the second protrusion located at the left end. The upper end of the first support rod 51 is rotatably connected to the first protrusion via a pivot shaft arranged in the front-back direction, and the upper end of the second support rod 52 is rotatably connected to the second protrusion via a pivot shaft arranged in the front-back direction.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the connecting shaft 53 is arranged in the front-to-back direction. The first through groove 511 passes through the first support rod 51 in the front-to-back direction, and the second through groove 521 passes through the second support rod 52 in the front-to-back direction. The connecting shaft 53 passes through the first through groove 511 and the second through groove 521 in sequence, and the part that passes through is the intersection of the projection of the first through groove 511 and the second through groove 521 in the front-to-back direction, so that the intersection of the first support rod 51 and the second support rod 52 is always fixed on the first steel strand 2.

[0040] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the photovoltaic panel 8 is in a horizontal position, and its tilt angle is adjusted according to the sun's position. When the second steel strand 3 moves upward and to the left, it causes the lower ends of the first support rod 51 and the second support rod 52 to move upward. Simultaneously, the upper end of the second support rod 52 moves upward, and the upper end of the first support rod 51 moves downward, thereby causing the photovoltaic panel 8 to deflect to the right. Similarly, when the second steel strand 3 moves upward and to the right, it causes the lower ends of the first support rod 51 and the second support rod 52 to move upward. Simultaneously, the upper end of the first support rod 51 moves upward, and the upper end of the second support rod 52 moves downward, thereby causing the photovoltaic panel 8 to deflect to the left.

[0041] Furthermore, it should be understood that during the movement of the second steel strand 3, the upper end of the first support rod 51 rotates relative to the photovoltaic panel 8, the lower end of the first support rod 51 rotates relative to the end connector 7, the upper end of the second support rod 52 rotates relative to the photovoltaic panel 8, and the lower end of the second support rod 52 rotates relative to the end connector 7, thereby preventing the X-shaped support frame 5 from getting stuck and thus achieving the effect of deflecting the photovoltaic panel 8.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the first support rod 51 has a first slider 512, which is slidably disposed in the first through groove 511 along the length direction of the first support rod 51, and is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 53. The second support rod 52 has a second slider 522, which is slidably disposed in the second through groove 521 along the length direction of the second support rod 52, and is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 53.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, both the first slider 512 and the second slider 522 have through holes arranged in the front-to-back direction, so that the connecting shaft 53 passes through the through holes of the first slider 512 and the second slider 522 in sequence, and rotates with the first slider 512 and the second slider 522. Therefore, during the movement of the second steel strand 3, the first slider 512 slides relative to the first support rod 51 along the length of the first support rod 51, and the second slider 522 slides relative to the second support rod 52 along the length of the second support rod 52, thereby ensuring the stability of the X-shaped support frame 5 structure.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the drive assembly includes two drive components 9, which correspond one-to-one with the two ends of the second steel strand 3. The drive components 9 are mounted on the corresponding end posts 1.

[0045] It is understandable that, such as Figure 1 As shown, the two driving components 9 correspond one-to-one with and are connected to the left and right ends of the second steel strand 3, so that the two driving components 9 drive the left and right ends of the second steel strand 3 to move synchronously, so that the second steel strand 3 and the first steel strand 2 remain parallel during the movement.

[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the driving component 9 includes a first motor 91, a housing 92, a second motor 93, a stud 94, and a connecting block 95. The first motor 91 is mounted on the end post 1, and the output shaft of the first motor 91 is connected to the housing 92. The second motor 93 is mounted on the housing 92, and the housing 92 has a limiting groove 921 extending along the length of the housing 92. The stud 94 is rotatably mounted in the limiting groove 921, and the second motor 93 is connected to the stud 94. The connecting block 95 is slidably mounted in the limiting groove 921, and the connecting block 95 has a threaded hole. The stud 94 and the connecting block 95 are threadedly engaged, and the connecting block 95 is connected to the second steel strand 3.

[0047] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, a first motor 91 is mounted on a corresponding end post 1, with its output shaft positioned along the front-to-back direction. A housing 92 is positioned vertically, and the output shaft of the first motor 91 is connected to the upper end of the housing 92, enabling the first motor 91 to drive the housing 92 to rotate. A second motor 93 is located at the upper end of the housing 92, with its output shaft positioned vertically and penetrating the upper wall of the housing 92, situated within the housing 92. A limiting groove 921 extends vertically, and a stud 94 is positioned vertically within the limiting groove 921 and rotatably connected to the housing 92. The output shaft of the second motor 93 is connected to the stud 94 to drive its rotation. A connecting block 95 is slidably positioned vertically within the limiting groove 921 and threadedly engaged with the stud 94, allowing the connecting block 95 to slide vertically when the second motor 93 drives the stud 94 to rotate. The connecting block 95 is connected to the end of the corresponding second steel strand 3 so that the connecting block 95 drives the second steel strand 3 to move.

[0048] It is important to understand that the distance between the connecting block 95 and the output shaft of the first motor 91 is defined as d. For example... Figure 1 As shown, when the photovoltaic panel 8 is in the initial horizontal state, the housing 92 is in the vertical state, and the distance between the connecting block 95 and the output shaft of the first motor 91 is d1.

[0049] When the photovoltaic panel 8 needs to tilt to the right, the first motor 91 rotates forward, driving the housing 92 to rotate to the left, causing the housing 92 to tilt. Simultaneously, the second motor 93 rotates forward, driving the connecting block 95 to slide along the extension direction of the limiting groove 921. Overall, the connecting block 95 moves to the upper left, causing the second steel strand 3 to move to the upper left, thus tilting the photovoltaic panel 8 to the right. After the photovoltaic panel 8 has tilted to the right at a certain angle, the distance between the connecting block 95 and the output shaft of the first motor 91 is d2, where d2 > d1.

[0050] When the photovoltaic panel 8 is reset, the first motor 91 runs in reverse and drives the housing 92 to rotate to the right to reset from the tilted state to the vertical state. At the same time, the second motor 93 runs in reverse and drives the connecting block 95 to slide along the extension direction of the limiting groove 921. Overall, the connecting block 95 moves to the lower right so that the connecting block 95 returns to the initial position.

[0051] Similarly, when the photovoltaic panel 8 needs to tilt to the left, the first motor 91 reverses its rotation, driving the housing 92 to rotate to the right, causing the housing 92 to tilt. Simultaneously, the second motor 93 rotates forward, driving the connecting block 95 to slide along the extension direction of the limiting groove 921. Overall, the connecting block 95 moves upward and to the right, causing the second steel strand 3 to move upward and to the right, thus tilting the photovoltaic panel 8 to the left. After the photovoltaic panel 8 has tilted to the left at a certain angle, the distance between the connecting block 95 and the output shaft of the first motor 91 is d3, where d3 > d1.

[0052] When the photovoltaic panel 8 is reset, the first motor 91 rotates forward and drives the housing 92 to rotate to the left to reset from the tilted state to the vertical state. At the same time, the second motor 93 rotates in reverse and drives the connecting block 95 to slide along the extension direction of the limiting groove 921. Overall, the connecting block 95 moves to the lower left so that the connecting block 95 returns to its initial position.

[0053] Therefore, photovoltaic panel 8 changes from a horizontal state to a tilted state, as... Figure 5 As shown, the running path of connector 95 is... Figure 5 The solid arc in the middle, Figure 5 The center of the concentric circles in the dashed line is located on the central axis of the output shaft of the first motor 91. The first motor 91 controls the photovoltaic panel 8 to tilt to the right and left by rotating forward and reverse. Furthermore, the second motor 93 always rotates forward to gradually increase the distance d between the connecting block 95 and the output shaft of the first motor 91 to d2 or d3, ensuring the normal operation of the structure. When the photovoltaic panel 8 needs to be reset, the second motor 93 rotates in reverse to gradually decrease the distance d between the connecting block 95 and the output shaft of the first motor 91 to d1.

[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the central connector 6 includes a central collar 61 and a central sleeve 62. The central collar 61 is sleeved on the first steel strand 2, and one end of the central sleeve 62 is connected to the central collar 61. One end of the connecting shaft 53 is rotatably disposed inside the central sleeve 62. The end connector 7 includes a first collar 71, a first rotating shaft 72, a second collar 73, and a second rotating shaft 74. Both the first collar 71 and the second collar 73 are sleeved on the second steel strand 3. One end of the first rotating shaft 72 is connected to the first collar 71, and the other end of the first rotating shaft 72 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the first support rod 51. One end of the second rotating shaft 74 is connected to the second collar 73, and the other end of the second rotating shaft 74 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the second support rod 52.

[0055] Optionally, such as Figure 2As shown, the central collar 61 is fixedly sleeved on the first steel strand 2. The central sleeve 62 is arranged in the front-to-back direction, and the end of the central sleeve 62 near the central collar 61 is fixedly connected to the central collar 61. The central axis of the central sleeve 62 is coaxial with the central axis of the connecting shaft 53, and the end of the connecting shaft 53 is rotatably disposed inside the central sleeve 62.

[0056] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, both the first collar 71 and the second collar 73 are fixedly sleeved on the second steel strand 3, and both the first rotating shaft 72 and the second rotating shaft 74 are arranged in the front-to-back direction. The end of the first rotating shaft 72 near the first collar 71 is fixedly connected to the first collar 71, and the end of the first rotating shaft 72 away from the first collar 71 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the first support rod 51. The end of the second rotating shaft 74 near the second collar 73 is fixedly connected to the second collar 73, and the end of the second rotating shaft 74 away from the second collar 73 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the second support rod 52.

[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the main frame also includes multiple sub-columns 4, which are spaced apart along the length of the first steel strand 2, and the first steel strand 2 is connected to the multiple sub-columns 4 in sequence.

[0058] Understandably, due to the large span of the steel strand, relying solely on the end posts 1 at both ends of the steel strand to support it would result in unstable support. Therefore, multiple branch posts 4 are arranged at intervals along the length of the first steel strand 2, and the first steel strand 2 is sequentially connected to the multiple branch posts 4, thereby improving the support effect on the first steel strand 2.

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, only one branch column 4 is shown on one side of the photovoltaic panel 8 to illustrate the position of the branch column 4. In practice, the number of branch columns 4 is determined according to the span of the steel strand and the number of photovoltaic panels 8. Optionally, the branch column 4 is located between two adjacent X-shaped support frames 5.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the sub-column 4 is provided with a clearance groove, and the second steel strand 3 passes through the clearance groove of multiple sub-columns 4 in sequence.

[0061] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the clearance grooves extend in the left-right direction, and the second steel strand 3 passes through the clearance grooves of multiple supporting columns 4 in sequence. This allows the second steel strand 3 to avoid contact with the supporting columns 4, ensuring the normal operation of the structure.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, there are two main frames, one support components, and one drive components, with the two main frames distributed on opposite sides of the width of the photovoltaic panel 8.

[0063] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are two main frames, each equipped with support components, connecting components, and drive components to ensure structural integrity. The two main frames are distributed opposite each other on the front and rear sides of the photovoltaic panel 8, thereby improving the stability of supporting the photovoltaic panel 8.

[0064] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, two connecting shafts 53 on any photovoltaic panel 8 are connected.

[0065] It is understandable that, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, each photovoltaic panel 8 has two X-shaped support frames 5 for supporting the photovoltaic panel 8. The connecting shafts 53 on the two X-shaped support frames 5 are connected by connecting rods arranged in the front-back direction, so that the two X-shaped support frames 5 are integrated into one design.

[0066] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0067] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature.
