Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of photovoltaic support technology, specifically to a multi-directionally adjustable arc-shaped beam fixing structure. Background Technology

[0002] With economic development and social progress, people are placing increasingly higher demands on energy. Solar energy resources, which are abundant, inexhaustible, safe, clean, and do not threaten humanity or damage the environment, are gradually coming into view. Obtaining electricity from solar energy requires photovoltaic (PV) panels for photoelectric conversion. PV panels are fixed in sunny areas using PV brackets. PV brackets are special supports designed for placing, installing, and fixing solar panels in a solar photovoltaic power generation system. In the past, the angle adjustment of the crossbeams on the supporting columns in PV brackets was too manual. To reduce manual intervention in the crossbeam angle adjustment process, the pushing structure of the crossbeams at the upper end of the supporting columns must be redesigned. The pushing structure can be adjusted in real time to rotate the PV frame.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese Patent Publication No. CN216122328U discloses "an arc-shaped beam single-axis tracking flexible photovoltaic support, including at least one support column, a crossbeam at the upper end of the support column, the crossbeam being rotatable; a first longitudinal tension cable and a second longitudinal tension cable, the two longitudinal tension cables moving synchronously in opposite directions; a transverse traction mechanism connected to both ends of the crossbeam, the transverse traction mechanism including a forward tilting traction end and a backward tilting traction end; the first longitudinal tension cable is connected to the forward tilting traction end, the first longitudinal tension cable is longitudinally pulled, and the transverse traction mechanism drives the front end of the crossbeam to tilt downward; the second longitudinal tension cable is connected to the backward tilting traction end, the second longitudinal tension cable is longitudinally pulled, and the transverse traction mechanism drives the rear end of the crossbeam to tilt downward."

[0004] The aforementioned patent uses two longitudinal tension cables arranged vertically and horizontally to pull the crossbeam in opposite directions, thereby controlling the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panels on the support. However, when this type of single-axis tracking support is used on steep slopes, expensive universal joints and other frame components are required to fix the bottom of the curved beam in order to meet the adjustment of the curved beam in multiple directions and heights. Since the frame components often get stuck after rusting when exposed to the elements, the angle of the photovoltaic panels cannot be adjusted. Therefore, this invention proposes a curved beam fixing structure that can be adjusted in multiple directions.

[0005] Invention

[0006] This invention proposes a multi-directional adjustable arc-shaped beam fixing structure, which solves the problem that it is difficult to adjust the angle of photovoltaic panels when the existing single-axis tracking bracket is applied to areas with large slopes.

[0007] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A multi-directional adjustable arc-shaped beam fixing structure includes a column, a column clamp is fitted at the top of the column, both ends of the column clamp are threaded with fastening bolts, the column clamp is fixedly connected to the column by the fastening bolts, a fixing component is provided on one side of the column clamp, the fixing component includes a mounting sleeve, the mounting sleeve is fixedly connected to the outside of the column clamp, a rotating block is rotatably connected to the inside of the mounting sleeve, two parallel ear plates are fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating block, a clamp is movably connected between the two ear plates, and an arc-shaped beam is fitted on the inside of the clamp.

[0008] Preferably, a locking bolt is provided at the connection between the ear plate and the clamp, and the ear plate can be fixed to the clamp by tightening the locking bolt. A second locking bolt is threaded to one end of the clamp.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom end of the column is fitted with a second column clamp, one side of the second column clamp is provided with a positioning component for positioning the arc beam, and the other side of the second column clamp is provided with a connecting component for connecting with the first column clamp.

[0010] Preferably, the positioning component includes a mounting base, one end of which is hinged to a column clamp, and the other end of which is slidably connected to a positioning rod. One end of the positioning rod is slidably engaged with the arc segment of the arc beam, and the top of the mounting base is provided with a disassembly component for driving the positioning rod to detach from the arc beam.

[0011] Preferably, the arc-shaped segment of the arc beam is provided with a plurality of slots that match the positioning rod. The plurality of slots are distributed at equal angles around the arc-shaped segment of the arc beam, and the positioning rod can slide and engage with any one of the slots.

[0012] Preferably, the disassembly component includes a pull rod that penetrates the top wall of the mounting base. The pull rod is slidably connected to the top wall of the mounting base. An installation groove is provided on the inner side of the mounting base. A pull block is fixedly connected to the top end of the pull rod. A connecting rod is hinged to the bottom end of the pull rod. The connecting rod is located in the installation groove. The end of the connecting rod away from the pull rod is hinged to the other end of the positioning rod.

[0013] Preferably, the disassembly component further includes a stop block, which is fixedly connected to the pull rod. A spring is sleeved on the pull rod, with the bottom end of the spring abutting against the stop block and the top end of the spring abutting against the top wall of the mounting groove.

[0014] Preferably, the diameter of the stop block is larger than the diameter of the pull rod, and the diameter of the spring is smaller than the diameter of the stop block.

[0015] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes a fixing block one, one end of which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the column clamp two, and the other end of the fixing block one is fixedly connected to an internal threaded sleeve that penetrates the fixing block one. The inner side of the internal threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to a screw rod that penetrates the internal threaded sleeve. The top end of the screw rod is provided with a connecting piece for fixing to the column clamp one, and the bottom end of the screw rod is fixedly connected to a handwheel.

[0017] The working principle and beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: During installation, the arc-shaped beam is fitted into the clamp, and then the second locking bolt is tightened to clamp and fix the arc-shaped beam. By loosening the fastening bolt, the first column clamp can be moved up and down along the column, thus adjusting the height of the first column clamp, thereby adjusting the height of the clamp and the installation height of the arc-shaped beam. After determining the height, the fastening bolt is tightened to fix the first column clamp to the column, thus allowing the arc-shaped beam to be installed at the corresponding height. When it is necessary to adjust the longitudinal angle of the arc-shaped beam, the locking bolt is loosened. Tightening bolt one allows movement between the clamp and the ear plate, which adjusts the longitudinal rotation of the curved beam. After determining the angle, tightening bolt one ensures the curved beam maintains the corresponding longitudinal angle. Rotating rotating block one allows the entire curved beam to rotate vertically, thus adjusting its vertical angle. The entire structure allows for adjustment of the curved beam's height and multi-directional angle, enabling height and multi-directional angle adjustment even on steep slopes. This broadens its applicability, eliminates the need for complex frame components for curved beam installation, and reduces operating costs. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment proposes a multi-directional adjustable arc-shaped beam fixing structure, including a column 1. A column clamp 3 is fitted at the top of the column 1. Both ends of the column clamp 3 are threaded with fastening bolts 4. The column clamp 3 is fixedly connected to the column 1 by the fastening bolts 4. A fixing component 5 is provided on one side of the column clamp 3. The fixing component 5 includes a mounting sleeve 51, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the column clamp 3. A rotating block 52 is rotatably connected to the inside of the mounting sleeve 51. Two parallel ear plates 53 are fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating block 52. A clamp 55 is movably connected between the two ear plates 53. An arc-shaped beam 2 is fitted on the inside of the clamp 55. A locking bolt 54 is provided at the connection between the ear plate 53 and the clamp 55. The ear plate 53 can be fixed to the clamp 55 by tightening the locking bolt 54. A locking bolt 56 is threadedly connected to one end of the clamp 55.

[0029] During installation, the curved beam 2 is fitted into the clamp 55, and then the locking bolt 56 is tightened to clamp and fix the curved beam 2. By loosening the fastening bolt 4, the column clamp 3 can be moved up and down along the column 1, which allows adjustment of the height of the column clamp 3, thereby adjusting the height of the clamp 55 and thus the installation height of the curved beam 2. After determining the height, the fastening bolt 4 is tightened to fix the column clamp 3 to the column 1, thus installing the curved beam 2 at the corresponding height. When it is necessary to adjust the longitudinal angle of the curved beam 2, the locking bolt 54 is loosened. This allows the clamp 55 and ear plate 53 to move together, which can adjust the longitudinal rotation of the arc beam 2. After determining the angle, tighten the locking bolt 54 to keep the arc beam 2 at the corresponding longitudinal angle. By rotating the rotating block 52, the arc beam 2 can be rotated vertically as a whole, thereby adjusting the vertical angle of the arc beam 2. The entire structure can adjust the height and multi-directional angle of the arc beam 2, which can achieve the height and multi-directional angle adjustment of the arc beam 2 in areas with large slopes. This has a wider range of applications and eliminates the need for complex frame components to complete the installation of the arc beam 2, resulting in low operating costs.

[0030] Furthermore, a column clamp 2 6 is fitted at the bottom of the column 1. A positioning component 7 for positioning the arc beam 2 is provided on one side of the column clamp 2 6, and a connecting component 8 for connecting with the column clamp 1 3 is provided on the other side of the column clamp 2 6. The positioning component 7 includes a mounting base 71. One end of the mounting base 71 is hinged to the column clamp 2 6, and the other end of the mounting base 71 is slidably connected to a positioning rod 72. One end of the positioning rod 72 is slidably engaged with the arc segment of the arc beam 2. A disassembly component 73 is provided at the top of the mounting base 71 for disengaging the positioning rod 72 from the arc beam 2. The arc segment of the arc beam 2 has several slots 21 that match the positioning rod 72. The slots 21 are distributed at equal angles around the arc segment of the arc beam 2, and the positioning rod 72 can be slidably engaged with any one of the slots 21. By rotating the rotating block 52, the entire arc beam 2 can be rotated in the vertical direction, thereby adjusting the vertical angle of the arc beam 2. After the angle is determined, the positioning rod 72 slides into the slot 21 on the arc section of the arc beam 2, which prevents the arc beam 2 from continuing to rotate, thus keeping the arc beam 2 stable.

[0031] Furthermore, the disassembly component 73 includes a pull rod 731 that penetrates the top wall of the mounting base 71. The pull rod 731 is slidably connected to the top wall of the mounting base 71. The mounting base 71 has an inner groove 732. A pull block 733 is fixedly connected to the top of the pull rod 731. A connecting rod 734 is hinged to the bottom of the pull rod 731. The connecting rod 734 is located in the mounting groove 732. The end of the connecting rod 734 away from the pull rod 731 is hinged to the other end of the positioning rod 72. A stop block 735 is fixedly connected to the pull rod 731. A spring 736 is sleeved on the pull rod 731. The bottom end of the spring 736 abuts against the stop block 735. The top end of the spring 736 abuts against the top wall of the mounting groove 732. The diameter of the stop block 735 is larger than the diameter of the pull rod 731, and the diameter of the spring 736 is smaller than the diameter of the stop block 735.

[0032] When it is necessary to adjust the vertical angle of the arc beam 2, the pull block 733 is pulled upward to make the pull rod 731 slide upward. This causes the connecting rod 734 to drive the positioning rod 72 to slide into the mounting groove 732, thereby disengaging the positioning rod 72 from the slot 21 on the arc section of the arc beam 2. At this time, the arc beam 2 is no longer restricted by the positioning rod 72. Then, rotating the rotating block 52 can make the arc beam 2 rotate vertically as a whole, thereby adjusting the vertical angle of the arc beam 2.

[0033] Furthermore, the connecting component 8 includes a fixing block 81, one end of which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the column clamp 6, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to an internal threaded sleeve 82 that penetrates the fixing block 81. The inner side of the internal threaded sleeve 82 is threadedly connected to a screw 83 that penetrates the internal threaded sleeve 82. The top end of the screw 83 is provided with a connector 84 for fixing to the column clamp 3, and the bottom end of the screw 83 is fixedly connected to a handwheel 85. The connector 84 includes a fixing block 841, one end of which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the column clamp 3, and the bottom of the fixing block 841 is fixedly connected to an mounting sleeve 842. The inner side of the mounting sleeve 842 is rotatably connected to a rotating block 843, and the bottom end of the rotating block 843 is fixedly connected to the top of the screw 83. By rotating the handwheel 85, the screw 83 rotates, causing relative rotation between the screw 83 and the internal threaded sleeve 82. This causes the internal threaded sleeve 82 to shift vertically, which in turn causes the second column clamp 6 to translate vertically. This allows adjustment of the distance between the second column clamp 6 and the first column clamp 3, thus adjusting the position of the positioning rod 72. This ensures that the positioning rod 72 can slide with the arc beam 2 after the longitudinal angle of the arc beam 2 changes, thereby ensuring the stability of the arc beam 2.

[0034] Usage process: When it is necessary to adjust the height of the arc beam 2, the column clamp 3 can be moved up and down along the column 1 by loosening the fastening bolt 4. This can adjust the height of the column clamp 3, thereby adjusting the height of the clamp 55, which in turn allows the installation height of the arc beam 2 to be adjusted. After the height is determined, the column clamp 3 is fixed to the column 1 by tightening the fastening bolt 4.

[0035] When it is necessary to adjust the longitudinal angle of the arc beam 2, loosen the locking bolt 54 to allow the clamp 55 and the ear plate 53 to move, which can adjust the longitudinal rotation of the arc beam 2. After determining the angle, tighten the locking bolt 54 to keep the arc beam 2 at the corresponding longitudinal angle.

[0036] When the vertical angle of the arc beam 2 needs to be adjusted, the pull block 733 is pulled upward to make the pull rod 731 slide upward. This causes the connecting rod 734 to drive the positioning rod 72 to slide into the mounting groove 732, thereby disengaging the positioning rod 72 from the slot 21 on the arc section of the arc beam 2. At this time, the arc beam 2 is no longer restricted by the positioning rod 72. At the same time, the spring 736 is compressed and accumulates potential energy. Then, rotating the rotating block 52 can make the arc beam 2 rotate vertically as a whole, thereby adjusting the vertical angle of the arc beam 2. After the angle is determined, the pull block 733 is released to release the potential energy of the spring 736, causing the positioning rod 72 to slide in the opposite direction and slide into the slot 21 on the arc section of the arc beam 2. This prevents the arc beam 2 from continuing to rotate, thus keeping the arc beam 2 stable.

[0037] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
