Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of photovoltaic facilities, and in particular to a photovoltaic carport for a factory area. Background Technology

[0002] A photovoltaic carport is a facility that uses photovoltaic panels installed on the roof of a carport to provide shade and rain protection, making good use of the carport space.

[0003] A Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN214246798U discloses a mounting bracket, characterized by comprising a support module and a canopy module inclined above the support module. The canopy module includes inclined longitudinal beams and transversely extending transverse beams, with the longitudinal beams forming a drainage channel. The mounting bracket also includes a water guide channel extending transversely, with the port of the water guide channel located above the drainage channel, so that water accumulated in the water guide channel can be collected transversely into the drainage channel. With the development of society, the number of vehicles is increasing, and parking spaces are becoming increasingly scarce. Existing photovoltaic carports cannot meet the growing demand for parking spaces. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To alleviate the shortage of parking spaces, this application provides a photovoltaic carport for factory areas.

[0005] The technical solution for a photovoltaic carport in a factory area provided in this application is as follows: A photovoltaic carport for a factory area includes a vertically installed column and a canopy installed at the end of the column away from the ground. Photovoltaic panels are installed on the side of the canopy away from the ground. Several parking platforms are slidably installed on the column, and the parking platforms slide along the length of the column.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the parking platform can be replaced by sliding multiple parking platforms, thereby increasing the number of vehicles that can be parked in the carport and alleviating the shortage of parking spaces.

[0007] Optionally, a vertical groove is provided on the column, and a slider is fixed on the parking plate. The slider is slidably disposed in the groove, and a sliding component is provided in the groove. The sliding component drives the slider to slide along the length direction of the column.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding component drives the slider to slide within the groove, thereby realizing the replacement between parking plates.

[0009] Optionally, the ceiling has extension plates slidably installed at both ends of the width direction on the side facing the ground, and the extension plates slide along the width direction of the ceiling.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the extension plate can extend the shading area, thereby ensuring the effect of sunshade and rain protection when parking more vehicles.

[0011] Optionally, the extension plate is spaced apart from the ceiling, and an extension photovoltaic panel is provided on the side of the extension plate facing the ceiling.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation of extended photovoltaic panels makes reasonable use of the space of the extended panels and further improves the conversion of sunlight.

[0013] Optionally, the extension plate is provided with a driving assembly, which includes a driving rod, a wedge block, a collar, a push rod, a reset component, and a positioning mechanism. The driving rod is fixed on the extension plate, the wedge block is fixed on the end of the driving rod away from the extension rod, the collar is fixed on the column, the push rod is slidably disposed on the column and slides along the length of the column, the collar is sleeved on the push rod, and the end of the push rod facing the ceiling abuts against the wedge block. The push rod drives the wedge block to slide the extension plate away from the ceiling. The reset component is installed on the ceiling and drives the extension plate to slide towards the ceiling. The positioning mechanism is installed on the push rod and fixes the push rod on the collar.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive mechanism is designed so that operators can drive the extension plate from the ground, making it convenient to adjust the extension plate.

[0015] Optionally, the positioning mechanism includes a locking rod and a positioning bolt. The locking rod is embedded in the push rod and rotates on the push rod. The positioning bolt is threaded onto the push rod and abuts against the locking rod. Tightening the positioning bolt drives the locking rod to extend out of the push rod and abut against the end of the collar away from the ground.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the push rod is driven to extend out of the locking rod by tightening the positioning bolt, so that the overall cross-sectional area of ​​the push rod is larger than that of the collar, thereby restricting the sliding of the push rod on the collar and positioning the push rod.

[0017] Optionally, the column is provided with a linkage groove, and a linkage block is slidably disposed in the linkage groove. The linkage block is installed on the parking plate. When the parking plate is raised, the linkage block abuts against the push rod, which in turn drives the push rod to slide toward the ceiling.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the linkage block can automatically drive the extension plate to slide when the parking space plate is raised, thereby unfolding the extension plate when multiple vehicles are parked.

[0019] Optionally, a charging pile is provided at the edge of the column.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solutions, the installation of charging piles can facilitate the charging of electric vehicles while they are parked.

[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4This application will be described in further detail.

[0030] This application discloses a photovoltaic carport for a factory area, referring to... Figure 1 The system includes a vertical column 1 installed on the ground 0 and a canopy 2 installed on the end of the column 1 away from the ground 0. Two columns 1 are installed on both sides of each parking space in the width direction. A photovoltaic panel 3 is installed on the side of the canopy 2 away from the ground 0. Two parking plates 4 are slidably installed on the column 1. Both parking plates 4 slide along the length direction of the column 1. By sliding, the parking plates 4 are raised or lowered so that one of the parking plates 4 is flush with the ground 0. The replacement of parking plates 4 is achieved by sliding multiple parking plates 4, thereby increasing the number of vehicles that can be parked in the carport and alleviating the shortage of parking spaces. The upper surface of the parking plate 4 is fixed with a protruding ridge 18, which can increase the friction of the vehicle parked on the parking plate 4.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 A vertical groove 5 is provided on the column 1, and four sliders 6 are fixed on the parking plate 4. The four sliders 6 are set on the grooves 5 on the four columns 1 at both ends of the width direction of the parking plate 4. The sliders 6 are slidably set in the grooves 5. A sliding component 7 is set in the groove 5. In this embodiment, the sliding component 7 is a rodless cylinder. The rodless cylinder is embedded in the column 1 to drive the sliders 6 to slide along the length direction of the column 1. The sliding of the sliders 6 drives the two parking plates 4 in the same parking space to slide synchronously.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3A battery 15 is installed on the end of the canopy 2 facing the ground 0. The battery 15 is electrically connected to the photovoltaic panel 3. The electrical energy converted by the photovoltaic panel 3 is stored in the battery 15. A charging pile 13 is set on the edge of the column 1. The charging pile 13 is electrically connected to the battery 15. The battery 15 can transmit the electrical energy converted by the photovoltaic panel 3 to the charging pile 13 to power the charging pile 13, thereby realizing the rational use of green energy. The setting of the charging pile 13 can facilitate the charging of the electric vehicle when it is parked. The charging head 19 on the charging pile 13 is connected to the charging pile 13 through the wire. The wire 16 includes an inner layer of stacked cables 161 and an outer layer of corrugated tubing 162. The stacked cables 161 enable the charging head 19 to charge. The extension of 9 ensures that the charging head 19 can still be used normally after the parking plate 4 slides. The external corrugated sleeve 162 protects the cable 161 and also prevents the cable 161 from appearing too messy. A light 14 is installed on the side of the canopy 2 facing the ground 0. The light 14 is electrically connected to the battery 15. A photosensitive switch 17 is electrically connected between the light 14 and the battery 15. The photosensitive switch 17 is installed on the column 1 near the parking plate 4, so that the light 14 is automatically turned on according to the light intensity at the parking plate 4. When the light around the parking space is dim, the photosensitive switch 17 closes to turn on the light 14. The light 14 can provide illumination when the light is dim, making it convenient to see the situation inside the carport at night.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 The canopy 2 has extension plates 8 that slide at both ends of the width direction on the side facing the ground 0. The extension plates 8 slide along the width direction of the canopy 2, extending out of the canopy 2 or retracting under the canopy 2. The extension plates 8 can extend the shading area, thus ensuring the effect of sunshade and rain protection when more vehicles are parked. There is a gap between the extension plates 8 and the canopy 2. An extension photovoltaic panel 93 is set on the side of the extension plate 8 facing the canopy 2. The extension photovoltaic panel 93 is electrically connected to the battery 15 through wires, and the converted electrical energy is transmitted to the battery 15 for storage. The setting of the extension photovoltaic panel 93 makes reasonable use of the space of the extension plate 8 and further improves the amount of sunlight converted.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4The extension plate 8 is provided with a drive assembly 10, which includes a drive rod 101 fixed on the extension plate 8, a wedge block 102 fixed on the end of the drive rod 101 away from the extension rod, a collar 103 fixed on the column 1, a push rod 104 slidably mounted on the column 1, a reset member 105 mounted on the ceiling 2, and a positioning mechanism 106 mounted on the push rod 104. The push rod 104 slides along the length direction of the column 1. A collar 103 is fitted around the push rod 104 to guide its sliding. The end of the push rod 104 facing the ceiling 2 abuts against the wedge block 102. A wedge-shaped groove, matching the wedge block 102, is provided at the end of the push rod 104 abutting against the wedge block 102. This groove increases the contact area between the push rod 104 and the wedge block 102, reducing the probability of damage to the wedge block 102 due to excessive pressure during the sliding of the push rod 104. The push rod 104 drives the wedge block... 102 causes the extension plate 8 to slide away from the roof 2. The reset component 105 is installed on the roof 2. The reset component 105 drives the extension plate 8 to slide towards the roof 2. The positioning mechanism 106 is installed on the push rod 104. The positioning mechanism 106 fixes the push rod 104 on the collar 103. A T-shaped groove 20 is opened at one end of the roof 2 facing the extension plate 8. A T-shaped slider 21 is fixed on the extension plate 8. The sliding of the extension plate 8 is guided by the T-shaped slider 21 and the T-shaped groove 20. In this embodiment, the reset component 105 is a reset spring. The reset spring is placed in the T-shaped groove 20. When the extension plate 8 slides out of the roof 2, the reset spring is compressed. When the positioning of the positioning mechanism 106 is canceled or the external force is removed from the push rod 104, the reset spring drives the extension plate 8 to reset and be stored under the roof 2. In this embodiment, drive components 10 are set at both ends in the width direction of the parking space to improve the stability of the drive.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The positioning mechanism 106 includes a snap-fit ​​rod 1061 embedded in and rotating on the push rod 104, and a positioning bolt 1062 threadedly connected to the push rod 104. The snap-fit ​​rod 1061 is hinged to the push rod 104 at its middle part. The positioning bolt 1062 abuts against the snap-fit ​​rod 1061 at the end of the push rod 104 near the ground 0. Tightening the positioning bolt 1062 drives the snap-fit ​​rod 1061 to extend out of the push rod 104 and abut against the end of the collar 103 away from the ground 0. Loosening the positioning bolt 1062 causes the snap-fit ​​rod 1061 to rotate and retract into the push rod 104. At this time, the push rod 104 can slide on the collar 103. By tightening the positioning bolt 1062, the snap-fit ​​rod 1061 extends out of the push rod 104, making the overall cross-sectional area of ​​the push rod 104 larger than that of the collar 103, thereby restricting the sliding of the push rod 104 on the collar 103 and positioning the push rod 104.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4The column 1 is provided with a linkage groove 11, and a linkage block 12 is slidably arranged in the linkage groove 11. The linkage block 12 is installed on the parking plate 4. When the parking plate 4 is raised, the linkage block 12 abuts against the push rod 104, which drives the push rod 104 to slide towards the roof 2. The linkage block 12 can automatically drive the extension plate 8 to slide when the parking plate is raised, so that the extension plate 8 can be unfolded when multiple vehicles are parked.

[0037] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: Before installing the carport, an underground space is excavated at the parking space where the carport will be installed, so that when the upper parking platform 4 is lowered to be flush with the ground 0, space is provided for the lower parking platform 4. Then, the column 1 is fixedly installed on the ground 0, and the canopy 2 is installed on the column 1. After the canopy 2 is installed, the extension plate 8 is installed on the canopy 2, and the parking platform 4 is installed on the column 1. Then, photovoltaic panels 3 and extended photovoltaic panels 93 are installed on the canopy 2 and the extension plate 8, respectively. A battery 15 and a lighting lamp 14 are installed on the canopy 2, so that the photovoltaic panels 3 and the extended photovoltaic panels 93 are electrically connected to the battery 15, and the battery 15 is electrically connected to the lighting lamp 14. Then, the ground... Install the charging pile 13 and connect it to the battery 15 to complete the installation of the carport. When multiple vehicles need to be parked in a single parking space, first make the upper parking plate 4 level with the ground 0, and park one vehicle on the upper parking plate 4. Then raise the parking plate 4 so that the lower parking plate 4 is level with the ground 0, and then park another vehicle on the lower parking plate 4. During the raising process, the upper parking plate 4 drives the extension plate 8 to extend out of the canopy 2. When the extension plate 8 needs to increase the covering area, drive the push rod 104 to bring the extension plate 8 out of the canopy 2. Then, tighten the positioning bolt 1062 to extend the snap rod 1061 out of the push rod 104 to abut against the collar 103, thereby fixing the push rod 104.

[0038] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
