Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of solar power generation, and in particular relates to a photovoltaic solar panel mounting assembly based on a wind power tower. Background Art

[0002] Due to the huge size of wind turbine towers, wind farms occupy a relatively large area of ​​land. Traditional wind turbine towers are only used to support wind turbines, and their huge space is not used reasonably, resulting in the disadvantage of low land resource utilization. Solar power generation also requires a large area of ​​land resources.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model CN221742781U discloses an integrated wind-solar power generation device. By attaching multiple photovoltaic panels of a solar photovoltaic system to the mounting surface of the tower outer wall, the outer surface space of the wind power system tower is fully utilized, the application scope of the solar photovoltaic system is expanded, and the integrated utilization of wind energy and solar energy is realized.

[0004] Since the towers of wind power generation equipment are installed outdoors, such as on the sea or in the Gobi Desert, they are very likely to encounter extreme weather, and existing photovoltaic solar panels cannot be stored. When encountering extreme weather such as hail, the photovoltaic solar panels are easily damaged, thus affecting the overall service life. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a photovoltaic solar panel mounting assembly based on a wind turbine tower, which realizes the flipping, stacking and storage of solar panels through the cooperation of rollers connected on both sides of the solar panel with the upper and lower notches of the slide rail, as well as the guide plate and the guide block, thereby solving the problem that the existing solar panels cannot be stored and are easily damaged.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

Straight slots are opened on the side walls of the two chute rails; a lower slot is opened on one side wall of the chute rail, and an upper slot is opened on the other side wall, and the upper slot is located above the lower slot; a baffle located at the upper edge of the lower slot and a guide plate located at the upper edge of the upper slot are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the chute rail, and a guide block corresponding to the position of the lower slot is fixedly connected to the inner wall; ropes are wound around both winches. The ropes are respectively located outside the two chute rails, and the other ends of the ropes are fixed; connecting columns are fixedly connected to both sides of the solar panel.

The sliders are fixedly connected with connecting blocks that penetrate through the straight slots and are fixedly connected to the ropes through the connecting blocks, so that a number of solar panels are arranged vertically in sequence; two connecting plates are fixedly connected to the connecting columns. The two connecting plates are symmetrically arranged relative to the connecting columns, and rollers are rotatably connected to the ends; the rollers are located inside the chute rail and are adapted to the distance between the two inner side walls of the chute rail, so that the solar panels are kept in a vertical state. When the solar panels move downward, the rollers are led out of the lower slot by the guide block, and the other roller exits from the upper slot, so that the solar panels are rotated into a horizontal state, thereby realizing the sequential flipping of the solar panels and realizing stacking and storage.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, two fixed rings arranged up and down are fixedly connected to the tower barrel. The installation frame further includes mounting plates connected to the fixed rings one by one, and the chute rails are fixedly connected to the mounting plates.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, fixed wheels are fixedly connected to the fixed rings. The mounting plates are slidably connected to the fixed rings, and traveling wheels meshing with the fixed wheels are rotatably connected to the mounting plates, and driving motors drivingly connected to the traveling wheels are fixedly connected, so as to realize the rotation of the installation frame around the tower barrel

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the fixed wheels are worm gear rings, and the traveling wheels are worms meshing with the worm gear rings.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the winches are fixedly connected to the upper mounting plates, and the lower ends of the ropes are connected to the other mounting plates.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a pull rod is movably inserted through the mounting plate. The upper end of the pull rod is connected to the rope, and a spring is sleeved on the lower end, so as to realize buffering by pulling the pull rod to compress the spring.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, when the solar panel is rotated into a horizontal state, the two rollers are respectively clamped on the two outer side walls of the slide groove guide rail.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the baffle is arranged obliquely, so that when the rope pulls the solar panel to move upward, the roller enters the slide guide rail from the lower notch.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the roller is a rubber roller.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a cover plate is fixedly connected to the lower ends of the two slide groove guide rails, so that the solar panels are located inside the cover plate after being moved down and stacked.

[0017] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] The present invention cooperates with the rollers connected on both sides of the solar panel, the upper notch and the lower notch of the slide rail, and the guide plate and the guide block, so that the solar panel can be flipped from a vertical state to a horizontal state when moving downward, thereby realizing the flipping, stacking and storage of the solar panel, avoiding damage to the solar panel in extreme weather, and effectively ensuring the service life of the solar panel.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inside", "all around" and the like indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0037] Embodiment 1

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the present invention is a photovoltaic solar panel installation component based on a wind power tower barrel, including the tower barrel 5 of a wind power generation device. An installation frame 1 is installed on the outer wall of the tower barrel 5. The installation frame 1 includes: two chute rails 102, two winches 3 and several solar panels 2. Taking the figures as an example, the number of solar panels 2 is five.

[0039] Two fixing rings 101 are fixedly connected to the tower barrel 5 and arranged one above the other. The installation frame 1 further includes mounting plates 4 connected to the fixing rings 101 one by one, and the two chute rails 102 are fixedly connected to the mounting plates 4, thus realizing the installation of the chute rails 102.

[0040] As Figure 3 and 4 shown, the two chute rails 102 are arranged side by side vertically. The cross-section of the chute rail 102 is a C-shaped structure, and the opening sides are arranged opposite to each other. Straight slots 103 are opened on the opposite side walls of the two chute rails 102. A lower slot 104 is opened on one side wall of the chute rail 102, and an upper slot 105 is opened on the other side wall, and the upper slot 105 is located above the lower slot 104.

[0041] A baffle 106 located at the upper edge of the lower slot 104 and a guide plate 107 located at the upper edge of the upper slot 105 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the chute rail 102, and a guide block 108 corresponding to the position of the lower slot 104 is fixedly connected to the inner wall.

[0042] Among them, as Figure 8 shown, both the guide plate 107 and the baffle 106 are inclined downward. The upper surface of the guide block 108 is an inclined surface structure and is arranged parallel to the baffle 106.

[0043] The two winches 3 are installed on the mounting plate 4 located at the upper end of the chute rail 102. Ropes 301 are wound around both winches 3. The ropes 301 are respectively located outside the two chute rails 102, and the other ends of the ropes 301 are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 4 at the lower end of the chute rail 102, so that after the winches 3 wind up the ropes 301, the ropes 301 can be straightened.

[0044] As Figure 6 and 7 shown, connection columns 201 are fixedly connected to both sides of the solar panel 2. Rotating connections are provided at the ends of the two connection columns 201 with sliders 202 that are slidably engaged with the chute rail 102, so that the sliders 202 can only slide along the chute rail 102. The slider 202 is fixedly connected with a connection block 203 that penetrates through the straight slot 103 and is fixedly connected to the rope 301 through the connection block 203, so that the five solar panels 2 are arranged one above the other in sequence.

[0045] The connecting column 201 is fixedly connected to two connecting plates 204, which are symmetrically arranged relative to the connecting column 201, and the ends of the connecting plates 204 are rotatably connected to rollers 205, which are rubber rollers. The use of rubber rollers can achieve a certain buffering effect and reduce the impact on the solar panel 2 during movement.

[0046] like Figure 6 and 8 As shown, the roller 205 is located inside the slide groove guide 102 and is adapted to the distance between the two inner walls of the slide groove guide 102, that is, the diameter of the roller 205 is adapted to the distance between the two inner walls of the slide groove guide 102. When the rollers 205 at the ends of the two connecting plates 204 on the connecting column 201 are both located in the slide groove guide 102, the solar panel 2 cannot rotate, so that the solar panel 2 remains in a vertical state. At this time, the rope 301 is tightened by the winch 3, so that the five solar panels 2 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom.

[0047] like Fig. 9 As shown, when encountering extreme weather and the solar panel 2 needs to be stored, the rope 301 is released by the winch 3, so that the solar panel 2 moves downward along the slide rail 102. When the lowermost solar panel 2 moves to the upper slot 105 and the lower slot 104, the rollers 205 located inside the slide rail 102 on both sides of the solar panel 2, the rollers 205 located at the lower side contact the guide block 108, and the rollers 205 located at the upper side are located at the upper slot 105.

[0048] Since the upper surface of the guide block 108 is an inclined surface, when the roller 205 below is blocked, it is pushed toward the outside of the slide groove guide rail 102, so that the roller 205 rolls along the upper surface of the guide block 108 toward the lower slot 104, causing the connecting column 201 to rotate, thereby guiding the roller 205 out of the lower slot 104 through the guide block 108.

[0049] When the connecting column 201 rotates, another roller 205 located above comes out from the upper groove 105. After the two rollers 205 roll to the outside of the slide groove guide rail 102, the rollers 205 are not blocked and can continue to move downward. At this time, the two rollers 205 are just clamped on the two outer walls of the slide groove guide rail 102, so that the connecting column 201 cannot rotate at this position, so that after the solar panel 2 rotates to a horizontal state, it can stably maintain the horizontal state and continue to move downward.

[0050] like Fig.10 and 11As shown, as the winch 3 continues to release the rope 301, the five solar panels 2 are flipped into a horizontal state after passing through the upper slot 105 and the lower slot 104 in sequence, and are stacked in sequence on the mounting plate 4 below, thereby realizing the stacking and storage of the solar panels 2. When stacked, the back of the solar panel 2 faces upward, thereby further improving the protective effect of the solar panel 2, avoiding damage to the solar panel in extreme weather, and effectively ensuring the service life of the solar panel.

[0051] In addition, if Fig.12 As shown, a cover plate 109 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the two slide rails 102, and the cover plate 109 can also be directly installed on the mounting plate 4 below, so that the solar panel 2 is moved down and stacked and is located in the cover plate 109, thereby the cover plate 109 can further improve the protection effect of the solar panel 2 after storage.

[0052] like Fig. 9 As shown, when the solar panel 2 needs to be unfolded, the rope 301 is wound by the winch 3, and the solar panel 2 is pulled upward in sequence by the rope 301. When the solar panel 2 moves to the position of the lower notch 104, the roller 205 is blocked by the baffle 106. In addition, since the baffle 106 is arranged obliquely, the roller 205 is forced to move toward the lower notch 104 during the pulling process of the rope 301. At the same time, when the roller 205 moves toward the lower notch 104, the distance between the other roller 205 and the slide guide rail 102 increases, and there is no manual blocking. In the process of the roller 205 moving into the lower notch 104, the connecting column 201 will deflect. In addition, when the other roller 205 moves to the position of the upper notch 105, it is blocked by the guide plate 107 on the upper edge, so that the roller 205 moves into the upper notch 105, thereby further deflecting the connecting column 201.

[0053] When both rollers 205 move into the slide rail 102, the connecting column 201 completes the rotation, causing the solar panel 2 to flip from a horizontal state to a vertical state, and continue to move upward under the pull of the rope 301, while the solar panels 2 located below rise in turn and flip to a vertical state. When the rope 301 is completely tightened and straightened, the five solar panels 2 are unfolded in turn and fixed between the two slide rails 102.

[0054] Embodiment 2

[0055] like Figure 2 and 3As shown, on the basis of Example 1, the fixed ring 101 is fixedly connected to the fixed wheel 401, the mounting plate 4 and the fixed ring 101 are slidingly connected via a guide rail slider assembly, and the mounting plate 4 is rotatably connected to the walking wheel 402 meshing with the fixed wheel 401 via a bearing seat, and is fixedly connected to a driving motor 403 transmission-connected to the walking wheel 402.

[0056] Specifically, the fixed wheel 401 is a worm gear ring, and the traveling wheel 402 is a worm meshing with the worm gear ring. The traveling wheel 402 is driven to rotate by the driving motor 403, so that the traveling wheel 402 can move along the fixed wheel 401 to realize the rotation of the mounting frame 1 around the tower, thereby satisfying the light-chasing effect of the solar panel 2 and ensuring the power generation efficiency of the solar panel 2.

[0057] By adopting the transmission mode of worm gear ring and worm and utilizing the self-locking property of worm gear transmission, the mounting bracket 1 can be kept in a fixed position when the driving motor 403 is turned off, thereby improving the overall reliability and stability.

[0058] Embodiment 3

[0059] like Figure 5 As shown, the mounting plate 4 is movably interspersed with a pull rod 302, the pull rod 302 is bent into a ring structure, and the upper end of the pull rod 302 is connected to the rope 301. The lower end of the pull rod 302 passes through the mounting plate 4 and is sleeved with a spring 303.

[0060] The lower end of the pull rod 302 is provided with an external thread and is threadedly connected with a nut. The upper end of the spring 303 abuts against the lower surface of the mounting plate 4, and the lower end abuts against the nut connected to the pull rod 302. When the winch 3 retracts the rope 301 and the rope 301 is straightened, the pull rod 302 is pulled upward and the spring 303 is compressed to achieve buffering, thereby preventing the rope 301 from causing excessive impact on the winch 3 and the mounting plate 4 at the moment of straightening, thereby facilitating improved reliability of use.

[0061] Furthermore, the reaction force of the spring 303 also has a certain pre-tightening effect on the rope 301, so that the rope 301 always remains in a straightened state, reducing the impact of thermal expansion and contraction on the rope 301, and greatly ensuring the stability and reliability of use.

[0062] In the description of this specification, the description with reference to the terms "one embodiment", "example", "specific example", etc. means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0063] The preferred embodiments of the present invention disclosed above are only used to help illustrate the present invention. The preferred embodiments do not describe all the details in detail, nor do they limit the invention to the specific implementation methods described. Obviously, many modifications and changes can be made according to the content of this specification.
