Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a large-span flexible cable installation structure with a self-adjusting counterweight, belonging to the technical field of installation of optoelectronic combined cables or wires. Background Art

[0002] Large-span flexible photovoltaic cable supports have the advantages of large span, few piles, and good economy. Because it is difficult to pile in environments such as the sea, fish ponds, and mountains, the flexible photovoltaic cable support structure has a large span and few piles, which is particularly suitable for environments such as the sea, fish ponds, and mountains. However, there are still the following main problems for large-span flexible photovoltaic cable support structures:

[0003] (1) Large-span flexible photovoltaic cables often use a double-layer load-bearing cable + wind-resistant cable system. Under extreme wind suction conditions, the load-bearing cables stop working and become a single-layer cable system with only wind-resistant cables working. The wind vibration effect is aggravated, resulting in structural vibration amplitude and damage to photovoltaic modules.

[0004] (2) For systems with wind-resistant cables, the tension of the wind-resistant cables is large under wind suction conditions, and the cost of the anchor foundation of the wind-resistant cables is high.

[0005] (3) Prestressing is difficult in offshore, fish pond, mountainous areas, and it is difficult to control the prestressing value.

[0006] (4) In order to improve power generation efficiency and increase structural utilization, photovoltaic panels are often installed on the cable support structure. However, photovoltaic panels are light in weight, and even small wind loads can cause the photovoltaic panels to flutter in the wind. Frequent vibrations can easily cause damage to the photovoltaic modules.

[0007] (5) In mountainous areas with steep slopes or depressions, it is impossible to install wind-resistant cables at anchorages in the mid-span.

[0008] In summary, due to the particularity of large-span flexible photovoltaic brackets, traditional large-span flexible photovoltaic bracket support systems cannot adapt to complex environments, and prestressing is difficult. Summary of the invention

[0029] The second embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as the first embodiment, mainly in that the longitudinal end column 102 is connected with a longitudinal end diagonal tie rod 101 for auxiliary fixation.

[0030] Furthermore, the component cables 104 correspond to the paired longitudinal end columns 102 at both ends, and the middle section of the component cables 104 is overlapped and fixed on the middle column 103 .

[0031] Furthermore, lower load-bearing cables 105 are pulled between the multiple groups of middle columns 103 and the longitudinal end columns 102 to resist wind pressure loads, and the lower load-bearing cables 105 are lower than the component cables 104 .

[0032] The third embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as the second embodiment, mainly in that both ends of the transverse connecting rope 108 are tied and fixed to the end column 106 of the transverse connecting system, a water container clamp 20 is fixed to the counterweight water container 1 at one end, a vertical slide ring 21 is fixed to the outer end of the water container clamp 20, the vertical slide ring 21 is mounted on the guide rod for longitudinal limiting, and the guide rod is fixed to the end column 106 of the transverse connecting system through the column clamp 15.

[0033] Furthermore, a transverse connecting system end inclined rod 107 is provided on the side of the transverse connecting system end column 106 for auxiliary fixation.

[0036] In general, the counterweight of the present invention is mainly a water container with adjustable water volume, and the counterweight is arranged in the middle of the span of the flexible support and hung on the load-bearing cable.

[0037] During the construction phase, the end anchoring system and all columns are assembled first, and then the component cables are tightened and anchored. A counterweight is hung at the mid-span position, and the required amount of water is injected to achieve the initial tensioning force required by the component cables. After the tensioning is completed, the photovoltaic components are installed.

[0038] When there is no wind or the wind load is small, the amount of water in the counterweight water container is the amount of water required for the initial tension force required by the design, which increases the deadweight of the structure and reduces the vibration of the photovoltaic panels under the action of wind.

[0039] When the photovoltaic bracket is displaced downward and exceeds the limit displacement under the action of a large wind pressure load, the counterweight water container automatically drains water to reduce its own weight, so that the displacement deformation under wind pressure conditions is controlled within the design range.

[0040] When the photovoltaic bracket produces an upward displacement exceeding the limit displacement under the action of a large wind suction load, the counterweight water container automatically fills with water to increase the deadweight, so that the displacement deformation under wind suction conditions is controlled within the design range. The maximum water capacity of the counterweight is determined by the weight required when the photovoltaic bracket produces an upward displacement that does not exceed the allowable displacement in the specification under the designed maximum wind suction load.

[0041] A transverse connection system is set up. Through model calculation, it is found that the transverse deformation under the action of wind suction and wind pressure is proportional and coordinated, and the maximum displacement of the entire transverse direction can be controlled by controlling the outermost transverse displacement.

[0042] Through model calculation, for a span of 30m, the basic wind pressure is 0.7kN / m 2 When (25-year return period), the photovoltaic panel angle is 15 0 When the water tank is 1.5m high, a water tank with a counterweight of 15kN can be set in the middle of the span to meet the design requirements. 3 , with a small volume, the displacement deformation under wind pressure and wind suction conditions can be controlled within the design range by using a counterweight water container. Generally, it is only necessary to hang the counterweight water container on the position of the horizontal connection tie support rod in the span through a hook, and the construction is simple. The prestressed cable is automatically tensioned only by the weight of the counterweight water container, without the need for tensioning equipment, reducing the complex prestressing tensioning work, shortening the construction period and being economical, and also solving difficult tensioning operations at sea, in fish ponds, and in mountains. The water container clamp is only set at the end column 106 of the horizontal connection system, and the number is relatively small. All other counterweight water containers are not set with clamps.

[0043] Therefore, the present invention can automatically adjust the weight of the counterweight water container according to the different effects of wind pressure load and wind suction load on the structure, and control the displacement deformation under wind pressure conditions and wind suction conditions within the design range; for scenes where tensioning operations are difficult, such as at sea, in fish ponds, and in mountains, the prestressed cables are automatically tensioned only by the weight of the counterweight water container, and no tensioning equipment is required; for mountains with steep slopes and depressions, a counterweight can be set in the middle of the span and water can be injected after the bracket is installed. The empty water container is light in weight, and a retractable water container is used, which is easy to transport and install; the counterweight water container can increase the deadweight of the large-span flexible photovoltaic structure and reduce the wind vibration effect under the action of wind.
