Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photovoltaic systems, and in particular to a photovoltaic system accessory and an assembly method. Background Art

[0002] Photovoltaic system construction requires the production and installation of various accessories. The production, pile foundation, and installation of photovoltaic bracket components constitute the largest portion of the civil and electromechanical engineering workload within a photovoltaic power station. Existing photovoltaic brackets typically utilize a portal steel frame structure, with columns supporting diagonal beams upon which photovoltaic accessories are mounted. Currently, photovoltaic brackets on the market come in two types: fixed-angle and adjustable.

[0003] The patent document with patent number CN102563291B discloses a photovoltaic bracket, including a column, a diagonal brace, a support beam and a fixing rod, and is characterized in that it also includes a fixing block, a fixing block, an L-shaped fixing block, bolts, nuts, tightening bolts and tightening nuts; the L-shaped fixing block is installed at the end of the support beam through bolts and nuts; the fixing block is installed on the support beam inside the L-shaped fixing block through bolts and nuts; the tightening bolts and tightening nuts are connected and installed between the connection hole of the fixing block and the tightening hole of the L-shaped fixing block; the fixing block is installed between the two fixing blocks through bolts and nuts.

[0004] However, during actual use, the inventors found that the existing photovoltaic brackets have the following defects: the parts are produced separately and then pulled to the construction site for step-by-step installation, which makes installation difficult and inefficient. The construction site is usually an overhead operation, and the longer the construction time, the higher the safety risks for workers. Some individually installed photovoltaic brackets have poor installation stability and pose safety risks during use. Other photovoltaic brackets that are fixed to each other further reduce the installation efficiency, making the safety risks for workers during installation even higher. Summary of the Invention

[0045] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] like Figures 1-9 As shown, a photovoltaic system accessory includes: an inclined beam 11 for supporting the photovoltaic accessory, a column 12 whose upper end is rotatably connected to one end of the inclined beam 11, a limiting mechanism 13 provided between the inclined beam 11 and the column 12 and used to limit the rotation between the inclined beam 11 and the column 12, a supporting mechanism 14 provided between the inclined beam 11 and the column 12 and used to support the inclined beam 11 at different inclination angles, a first connecting rod 15 whose one end is rotatably connected to the inclined beam 11 and the other end is detachably connected to the inclined beam 11, and a second connecting rod 16 whose one end is rotatably connected to the column 12 and the other end is detachably connected to the column 12.

[0048] Two first reinforcing plates 111 are provided on one side of the inclined beam 11, and a first accommodating area 112 for accommodating the column 12, the supporting mechanism 14 and the second connecting rod 16 is formed between the two first reinforcing plates 111. Two second reinforcing plates 113 are provided at intervals on the other side of the inclined beam 11. A positioning plate 114 is provided on the first reinforcing plate 111, and a second accommodating area 115 for accommodating the first connecting rod 15 is formed between the positioning plate 114 and the end of the inclined beam 11.

[0049] In this embodiment, by setting the inclined beam 11, the column 12, the first connecting rod 15 and the second connecting rod 16 that are rotatably connected to each other and cooperating with the first accommodating area 112 and the second accommodating area 115, the photovoltaic system accessories can be unfolded and folded. When unfolded, two adjacent photovoltaic system accessories can be connected to each other and assisted by the limiting mechanism 13 and the supporting mechanism 14 to improve stability. During installation, the number of operations required for manual connection is reduced, the installation is simple, the installation efficiency is high, the installation time is reduced, and thus the safety hazards are reduced. When closed, the column 12, the first connecting rod 15, the supporting mechanism 14 and the second connecting rod 16 are hidden in the inclined beam 11, which reduces the volume and facilitates storage and transportation.

[0050] In detail, during installation, first open the limiting mechanism 13, rotate the inclined beam 11 to expose the column 12 from the first accommodating area 112, then install multiple columns 12 at intervals, and support the multiple inclined beams 11 at the same inclination angle through the supporting mechanism 14. Finally, one end of the first connecting rod 15 is disassembled from the inclined beam 11 and rotated to the adjacent inclined beam 11 for connection. At the same time, one end of the second connecting rod 16 is disassembled from the column 12 and rotated to the adjacent column 12 for connection. The disassembly and connection method of the first connecting rod 15 and the second connecting rod 16 further reduces the carrying of parts, reduces the burden on workers, further reduces operations and reduces safety hazards.

[0051] It should be noted that the first reinforcing plate 111 and the second reinforcing plate 113 are provided to improve the stability of the oblique beam 11 , and the positioning plate 114 is provided to facilitate the installation of the first connecting rod 15 while improving the stability of the installation.

[0052] Further, if Figure 2-Figure 6 As shown, a plurality of adjustment holes 1111 are provided on the first reinforcing plate 111 at intervals along the length direction;

[0053] The support mechanism 14 includes a support rod 141 having one end rotatably connected to the lower end of the column 12 and an adjustment assembly 142 disposed at one end of the support rod 141 away from the column 12 and detachably connected to the adjustment hole 1111 .

[0054] In this embodiment, the adjustment assembly 142 is connected to each adjustment hole 1111 and cooperates with the supporting function of the support rod 141 to achieve support for the inclined beam 11 at various tilt angles.

[0055] In detail, when the inclination angle of the oblique beam 11 changes, the adjustment component 142 rotates with the support rod 141 and is connected to a corresponding adjustment hole 1111 to achieve a supporting function.

[0056] It should be noted that grooves 1411 are formed on both sides of the support rod 141, which provide sufficient space for installing the adjustment component 142, thereby avoiding interference with the retraction of the support rod 141 and the column 12.

[0057] Further, if Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, the adjustment assembly 142 includes two adjustment columns 1421 slidably connected to both sides of the support rod 141 and used to connect to the adjustment hole 1111, two push rods 1422 respectively arranged on the two adjustment columns 1421 and used to push the adjustment columns 1421 out of the adjustment hole 1111, an elastic member 1423 arranged on the support rod 141 and used to force the two adjustment columns 1421 to be inserted into the adjustment hole 1111, and a locking member 1424 arranged on the support rod 141 and used to limit the sliding of the adjustment column 1421.

[0058] In this embodiment, an adjusting column 1421 is provided to cooperate with a push rod 1422 to realize the disassembly and connection between the adjusting column 1421 and the adjusting hole 1111, and then the elastic member 1423 is used to facilitate the automatic connection between the adjusting column 1421 and the adjusting hole 1111, and at the same time, a locking member 1424 is provided. When the adjusting column 1421 and the adjusting hole 1111 are disassembled, the locking member 1424 limits the sliding of the adjusting column 1421, thereby preventing the adjusting column 1421 from being stuck again in the adjusting hole 1111 during the process of adjusting the support angle as the support rod 141 adjusts the support angle.

[0059] In detail, when adjusting the angle, push the push rod 1422 to force the adjusting column 1421 to disengage from one adjusting hole 1111, and then use the locking member 1424 to limit the rotation of the adjusting column 1421. Finally, after rotating the support rod 141 to adjust the angle, the restriction of the locking member 1424 is released, and the adjusting column 1421 automatically rebounds to the other adjusting hole 1111 under the action of the elastic member 1423 to complete the angle adjustment.

[0060] It should be noted that the elastic member 1423 is a coil spring, a leaf spring, etc., and both the elastic member 1423 and the installation method thereof are prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0061] Further, if Figure 3 as well as Figure 6 As shown, limiting plates 1112 are provided on both sides of the first accommodating area 112 , and limiting areas 1113 for limiting the adjustment column 1421 from leaving the first accommodating area 112 are formed between the limiting plates 1112 and the inclined beam 11 .

[0062] In this embodiment, a limiting area 1113 is formed by setting a limiting plate 1112. When the adjusting column 1421 adjusts the support angle along with the support rod 141, the limiting area 1113 restricts the adjusting column 1421 from being separated from the first accommodating area 112, making it easier for the adjusting column 1421 to be reconnected in the adjusting hole 1111, thereby reducing the installation difficulty of the support mechanism 14, further reducing the installation operations, and improving the installation efficiency.

[0063] Further, if Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, the locking member 1424 includes a mounting seat 14241 that is slidably set on the support rod 141 along the direction of approaching or moving away from the adjusting column 1421, two first locking plates 14242 that are set on the mounting seat 14241 and are used to push the two adjusting columns 1421 to slide along with the two push rods 1422 until they are separated from the adjusting hole 1111 as the mounting seat 14241 slides, and two second locking plates 14243 that are respectively set on the two first locking plates 14242 and are used to push the two adjusting columns 1421 to slide along with the two push rods 1422 until they are separated from the limiting area 1113 as the mounting seat 14241 slides.

[0064] In this embodiment, the mounting seat 14241 is provided to drive the first locking plate 14242 and the second locking plate 14243 to slide, thereby driving the adjusting column 1421 to slide synchronously with the push rod 1422 for easy operation, and realizing segment locking of the adjusting column 1421, making it convenient for the adjusting column 1421 to be connected to the adjusting hole 1111 and for the adjusting column 1421 to be disassembled and installed in the limiting area 1113.

[0065] It should be noted that, under the squeezing action of the elastic member 1423 , the friction between the push rod 1422 and the first locking plate 14242 and the second locking plate 14243 is large enough to require manual operation to avoid easy sliding and improve stability.

[0066] Further, if Figure 1-Figure 2 as well as Figure 8 As shown, two third reinforcement plates 121 are provided on one side of the column 12 and a third accommodating area 122 for accommodating the support rod 141 is formed between the two second reinforcement plates 113 .

[0067] In this embodiment, the third accommodating area 122 is formed by providing the second reinforcing plate 113 , which improves the strength of the column 12 while allowing the column 12 and the support rod 141 to be completely accommodated in the first accommodating area 112 .

[0068] Further, if Figure 1 as well as Figure 7 As shown, first mounting holes 116 are provided at corresponding positions in the middle of the inclined beam 11 and the positioning plate 114, first connecting holes 117 are provided at corresponding positions at one end of the inclined beam 11 and the positioning plate 114, and a first connecting rod 15 is provided at one end of the inclined beam 11 away from the positioning plate 114, one end of the first connecting rod 15 is rotatably connected to the first mounting hole 116 on the inclined beam 11, and the other end is disassembled and connected to the first connecting hole 117 on the inclined beam 11 or the first splicing hole 118 on another inclined beam 11.

[0069] In this embodiment, by providing the first mounting hole 116, the first connecting hole 117 and the first splicing hole 118, the first support rod 141 can be fixedly connected to an inclined beam 11 to prevent the first support rod 141 from being separated from the inclined beam 11 during transportation, and the first support rod 141 can be connected and fixed to another adjacent inclined beam 11 after being disassembled from one inclined beam 11, thereby improving stability and reducing the need for workers to carry parts, thereby reducing the burden on workers.

[0070] Further, if Figure 1 as well as Figure 8As shown, the column 12 is sequentially penetrated from top to bottom with a second mounting hole 123, a second splicing hole 124 and a second connecting hole 125. One end of the second connecting rod 16 is rotatably connected to the second mounting hole on the column 12, and the other end is disassembled and connected to the second connecting hole on the column 12 or the second splicing hole on another column 12.

[0071] In this embodiment, by providing the second mounting hole 123, the second splicing hole 124 and the second connecting hole 125, the second support rod 141 can be fixedly connected to one column 12 to prevent the second support rod 141 from being separated from the column 12 during transportation, and the second support rod 141 can be connected and fixed to another adjacent column 12 after being disassembled from one column 12, thereby improving stability and reducing the need for workers to carry parts, thereby reducing the burden on workers.

[0072] Further, if Figure 1 Figure 3 as well as Figure 9 As shown, the limiting mechanism 13 includes a connecting bolt 131 with one end rotatably connected to a first reinforcing plate 111 and the other end threadedly connected to the column 12, and a limiting bolt 132 with one end rotatably connected to another reinforcing plate and the other end threadedly connected to the connecting piece until the matching connecting piece clamps the oblique beam 11 and the column 12.

[0073] In this embodiment, by providing the connecting bolts 131 in conjunction with the limiting bolts 132 , the rotational connection between the inclined beam 11 and the column 12 is achieved, and the rotation between the inclined beam 11 and the column 12 is limited.

[0074] In detail, when the limiting bolt 132 is loosened between the connecting bolts 131, the inclined beam 11 and the column 12 can rotate. When the limiting bolt 132 is tightened between the connecting bolts 131, the rotation between the inclined beam 11 and the column 12 can be restricted.

[0075] Example 2

[0076] like Figures 1-19 As shown, a method for assembling photovoltaic system accessories includes the following steps:

[0077] Step 1: First assembly process: fix the oblique beam 11, transport the column 12 into the first accommodating area 112, and transport the first connecting rod 15 into the second accommodating area 115. Under the accommodation and positioning functions of the first accommodating area 112 and the second accommodating area 115, push the column 12 and the first connecting rod 15 to move in the first accommodating area 112 and the second accommodating area 115 respectively until they are positioned at the connection with the oblique beam 11, and then they are connected and fixed;

[0078] Step 2: The second assembly process involves rotating the upright column 12 to open it. The support mechanism 14 is installed between the upright column 12 and the inclined beam 11. At the same time, the second connecting rod 16 is conveyed between the two second reinforcing plates 113. Under the positioning action of the two second reinforcing plates 113, the second connecting rod 16 is pushed toward the upright column 12 until the connection with the upright column 12 is located. After that, the connection is secured, completing the assembly of the photovoltaic system accessories.

[0079] Step 3: Inspection process: The first connecting rod 15 and the second connecting rod 16 are rotated open and then rotated closed. Then, the column 12 is rotated closed. The support mechanism 14 and the second connecting rod 16 are hidden in the first accommodating area 112 along with the column 12. After the inspection, the components are in a closed state. After the inspection of the photovoltaic system accessories is completed, the limit mechanism 13 is installed on the inclined beam 11 and the column 12 to prevent rotation between the two.

[0080] Step 4: Bundling process: transport the assembled and tested photovoltaic system accessories to the bundling machine 6 for bundling, confine the columns 12, support mechanisms 14 and second connecting rods 16 in the first accommodation area 112, and place the first connecting rods 15 in the second accommodation area 115.

[0081] like Figures 1-10 As shown, the assembly equipment based on the above-mentioned assembly method includes a conveying mechanism 2 for supporting and conveying the inclined beam 11, a first installation mechanism 3 arranged on the outside of the conveying mechanism 2 and used for conveying the installation column 12 and the first connecting rod 15, a second installation mechanism 4 arranged on the outside of the conveying mechanism 2 and used for conveying the installation support mechanism 14 and the second connecting rod 16, a detection mechanism 5 arranged on the conveying mechanism 2 and used for rotating the photovoltaic system accessories for folding and inspection, and a bundling machine 6 arranged on the outside of the first conveying mechanism 2 and used for bundling the photovoltaic system accessories.
