Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of photovoltaic module support structure technology, and in particular to a solar panel bracket with adaptive sun-facing function. Background Technology

[0002] Solar panel tracking technology is a technique that keeps a solar panel aligned with the light source, ensuring the light hits the panel perpendicularly to maximize power generation efficiency. Current technology typically uses dual sets of photoresistors to sense light intensity and adjusts the solar panel angle via circuitry to achieve the optimal angle for sunlight. When solar panels are used outdoors, changes in the environment, such as strong winds, can cause damage by carrying debris that impacts the panel surface. Therefore, it's necessary to cover the solar panel surface for protection during windy weather. However, due to significant changes in the external environment, it's difficult to provide timely and rapid protection when strong winds suddenly appear, easily leading to damage to the solar panels. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a solar panel bracket with adaptive sun-facing function.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a solar panel bracket with adaptive sun-facing function, comprising a solar panel drive base and a solar panel body, wherein drive brackets are fixedly connected to both ends of the output shaft of the solar panel drive base, and the solar panel body is fixedly connected to the outside of the two drive brackets. The solar panel body is driven by the solar panel drive base and the two drive brackets to rotate following the sunlight. The characteristic feature is that an outer casing is fixedly connected to the far ends of the two drive brackets, and each outer casing has an inner slot. Protective components for protecting the solar panel body in windy weather are provided on both sides of the outer surface of the solar panel body. Each protective component includes a side beam and a protective shell for protecting the solar panel body. The side beam is fixedly connected to the outside of the drive bracket. The internal rotating connection is a rotating shaft, with both ends of the rotating shaft moving through the two sides of the side beam and extending to the outside of the side beam. The protective shell is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft. The protective shell is L-shaped and can rotate outside the solar panel body via the rotating shaft. Both ends of the rotating shaft move through the two outer casings facing each other and extend into the interior of the two inner slots. The outside of the protective shell has a through slot, with an extension plate movingly connected inside the through slot. A stop plate is fixedly connected to the end of the extension plate away from the inside of the through slot. There are two short slots inside the through slot, and a side plate is slidably connected inside each short slot. The two side plates are fixedly connected to the two sides of the extension plate outside the extension plate on their facing sides. The side plate is arched, with one side of the side plate fitting against the outside of the spring piece.

[0005] Each inner slot has two control components on its sides for rotating the two solar panel bodies. The two control components are controlled by a wind power switch assembly. Each control component includes a forward and reverse motor for providing power. The output shaft of the forward and reverse motor is synchronously driven by a transmission belt. A forward and reverse switch button is installed on the outside of the forward and reverse motor to control its operation. The forward and reverse switch button is located on the outside of the forward and reverse motor near the center of the inner slot. The control components also include a toothed plate and a guide toothed ring for auxiliary transmission. The toothed plate is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft and rotates inside the inner slot through the rotating shaft. The guide toothed ring is located below the toothed plate and is rotatably connected to the inside of the inner slot. A connecting toothed ring is fixedly connected to the outside of the output shaft of the forward and reverse motor. The transmission belt is movably sleeved on the outside of the toothed plate, guide toothed ring, and connecting toothed ring.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the wind power switch assembly includes a wind blade for collecting wind energy and an outer bearing. A round rod shaft is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the outer bearing. The wind blade is fixedly connected to the outside of the round rod shaft. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the outside of the outer bearing. The end of the connecting rod away from the outer bearing is fixedly connected to the outside of the outer housing. The end of the round rod shaft away from the wind blade moves through the outside of the outer housing and extends into the inside of the inner groove. A continuous positioning post is provided on the side of the round rod shaft facing the inner wall of the inner groove. The continuous positioning post is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner groove. A sleeve is provided on the outside of the round rod shaft. The sleeve is fixedly connected to the outside of the outer housing. The side of the sleeve closest to the outer housing is open. A threaded groove is opened on the outside of the round rod shaft. A switch push plate is threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded groove. Both sides of the outside of the switch push plate are provided with outer grooves. Movable auxiliary components are provided on both sides of the outside of the outer grooves.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, each moving auxiliary component includes a crossbeam plate. The two ends of the crossbeam plate are respectively fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner slot and the inner wall of the casing facing each other. The outer side of the crossbeam plate is provided with a vertical groove and a horizontal slot. The interior of the vertical groove and the horizontal slot are connected. A sliding plate is movably connected inside the horizontal slot. The sliding plate is fixedly connected inside the outer slot. The switch push plate moves stably outside the round rod shaft through the sliding plate and the horizontal slot. A spring band is fixedly connected inside the vertical groove. The spring band is movably sleeved outside the sliding plate. The sliding plate moves stably laterally inside the horizontal slot through the spring band.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, each outer casing is provided with a windproof component for shielding the fan blades. The two windproof components are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the two fan blades. Each windproof component includes a windproof shell, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the outer casing and located outside the fan blades. Wind deflectors are fixedly connected to both sides of the outside of the windproof shell.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects that this invention can achieve are:

[0010] 1. By setting up a wind power switch assembly in conjunction with a control assembly, the wind generated by a strong wind environment drives the wind power switch assembly to open the control assembly. The control assembly then drives the protective shell in the protection assembly to rotate and close the main body of the solar panel for protection. This achieves rapid protection of the main body of the solar panel when strong winds occur, preventing damage to the surface of the solar panel and effectively improving the protection effect of the main body of the solar panel.

[0011] 2. By setting extension plates and abutments within the two protective components, when the two protective shells rotate and approach each other to close the solar panel body, the two protective shells drive the two extension plates and abutments to fit together. The abutments and extension plates on both sides press against each other and shrink the side plates and spring pieces inside the short slots. The shrinkage setting of the extension plates and abutments improves the sealing of the contact points when the two protective shells close the solar panel body, thereby preventing external debris from damaging the solar panel body through the connection points of the two protective shells.

[0012] 3. By installing windproof components on the outside of the two wind blades, the windproof shells of the two staggered and symmetrically arranged windproof components, together with the wind deflector, block the wind blades on both sides in different directions, so that the wind direction of the wind blades on both sides is opposite. This keeps the rotation direction of the wind blades on both sides in the direction that drives the switch push plate to rotate into the inner groove when subjected to wind force, thereby ensuring that the device can open the two protective shells to protect the main body of the solar panel in a stable windy environment.

[0023] Example: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The diagram illustrates a solar panel support with adaptive sun-facing function, comprising a solar panel drive base 10 and a solar panel body 12. The solar panel drive base 10 is equipped with dual sets of photoresistor modules to sense the intensity of light. These dual photoresistors control the output shaft of the solar panel drive base 10, thereby adjusting the angle of the solar panel body 12. This technology is existing and will not be elaborated upon in this embodiment. Drive brackets 11 are fixedly connected to both ends of the output shaft of the solar panel drive base 10. The solar panel body 12 is fixedly connected to the outside of the two drive brackets 11. The solar panel body 12 rotates following the sunlight, driven by the solar panel drive base 10 and the two drive brackets 11. The key feature is that an outer casing 13 is fixedly connected to the far ends of the two drive brackets 11. Each outer casing 13 has an inner slot 14. Protective components for protecting the solar panel body 12 in windy weather are provided on both sides of the exterior of the solar panel body 12. Each protective component includes a side beam 20 for protecting the solar panel body 12 and a protective... The protective housing 22 and side beam 20 are fixedly connected to the outside of the drive bracket 11. A rotating shaft 21 is rotatably connected inside the side beam 20.

A connecting toothed ring 34 is fixedly connected to the outside of the output shaft of the forward and reverse motor 33. The transmission track 31 is movably sleeved on the outside of the toothed plate 30, the guide toothed ring 32 and the connecting toothed ring 34.

[0025] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The wind power switch assembly includes a wind blade 40 for collecting wind energy and an outer bearing 41. A round rod shaft 44 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the outer bearing 41. The wind blade 40 is fixedly connected to the outside of the round rod shaft 44. A connecting rod 42 is fixedly connected to the outside of the outer bearing 41. The end of the connecting rod 42 away from the outer bearing 41 is fixedly connected to the outside of the outer housing 13. The end of the round rod shaft 44 away from the wind blade 40 movably passes through the outside of the outer housing 13 and extends into the inside of the inner groove 14. The round rod shaft 44 is flush with the inner wall of the inner groove 14. A continuous positioning post 48 is provided on one side of the inner groove 14. The continuous positioning post 48 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner groove 14. A sleeve 47 is provided on the outside of the round rod shaft 44. The sleeve 47 is fixedly connected to the outside of the outer box 13. The side of the sleeve 47 near the outer box 13 is open. A threaded groove 43 is provided on the outside of the round rod shaft 44. A switch push plate 45 is threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded groove 43. Both sides of the switch push plate 45 are provided with outer grooves 46. Both sides of the outer grooves 46 are provided with moving auxiliary components.

[0026] See Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8Each moving auxiliary component includes a crossbeam plate 60. The two ends of the crossbeam plate 60 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner slot 14 and the inner wall of the housing 47 facing each other, respectively. The outer side of the crossbeam plate 60 is provided with a vertical slot 63 and a horizontal slot 64. The interior of the vertical slot 63 and the horizontal slot 64 are connected. The interior of the horizontal slot 64 is movably connected to a sliding plate 61. The sliding plate 61 is fixedly connected to the interior of the outer slot 46. The switch push plate 45 moves stably outside the round rod shaft 44 through the sliding plate 61 and the horizontal slot 64. The interior of the vertical slot 63 is fixedly connected to a spring band 62. The spring band 62 is movably sleeved on the exterior of the sliding plate 61. The sliding plate 61 moves stably laterally inside the horizontal slot 64 through the spring band 62.

[0027] See Figure 2 Each outer casing 13 is equipped with a windproof assembly for shielding the fan blades 40. Two windproof assemblies are symmetrically arranged outside the two fan blades 40. Each windproof assembly includes a windproof shell 50, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the outer casing 13 and located outside the fan blades 40. Wind deflectors 51 are fixedly connected to both sides of the windproof shell 50. By using the windproof assemblies arranged outside the two fan blades 40, the windproof shells 50 in the two symmetrically arranged windproof assemblies, together with the wind deflectors 51, shield the fan blades 40 on both sides in different directions, so that the fan blades 40 on both sides receive wind in opposite directions. This keeps the rotation direction of the fan blades 40 when they are subjected to wind force in the direction that drives the switch push plate 45 to rotate into the inner slot 14, thereby ensuring that the device can open the two protective shells 22 to protect the solar panel body 12 in a windy environment.

[0028] Working principle:

[0029] In use: When a strong wind is generated outside the solar panel body 12, the wind drives the fan blades 40 and causes the round shaft 44 to rotate synchronously. The round shaft 44 rotates inside the inner groove 14 and drives the switch push plate 45 to perform helical transmission. The rotation of the round shaft 44 drives the switch push plate 45 to move towards the continuous positioning post 48. The wind continuously drives the switch push plate 45 to move towards the continuous positioning post 48 until the switch push plate 45 moves to the outside of the continuous positioning post 48. Then, the switch push plate 45 disengages from the outside of the threaded groove 43, and the switch push plate 45 disengages. When the plate 45 moves, it touches the forward / reverse switch button 35 and presses the forward / reverse switch button 35 to start the forward / reverse motor 33. The start of the forward / reverse motor 33 causes its output shaft to drive the transmission track 31 and make the rotating shaft 21 rotate synchronously. The rotation of the rotating shaft 21 drives the protective shell 22 to rotate and close the solar panel body 12 for protection. This achieves the goal of quickly protecting the solar panel body 12 when strong winds come, avoiding damage to the surface of the solar panel body 12, and effectively improving the protection effect of the solar panel body 12.

[0030] After use: When the wind force outside the solar panel body 12 decreases, the elastic band 62 generates an elastic force on the sliding plate 61, which drives the switch push plate 45 to reset. The switch push plate 45 resets outside the round rod shaft 44 and drives the fan blade 40 to rotate in the opposite direction outside the solar panel body 12. At the same time, the switch push plate 45 resets outside the round rod shaft 44 and presses the forward and reverse switch button 35 again. At this time, the forward and reverse switch button 35 controls the forward and reverse motor 33 to start rotating in the opposite direction. The output shaft of the forward and reverse motor 33 rotates, which drives the transmission track 31 and causes the rotating shaft 21 to drive the protective shell 22 to rotate and open outside the solar panel body 12. Thus, after the strong wind disappears, the protective shells 22 on both sides open outside the solar panel body 12, achieving the effect of ensuring that the solar panel body 12 can perform light energy conversion after the strong wind disappears.

[0031] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
