Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mounting brackets, specifically to an adaptive adjustable photovoltaic module mounting bracket. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic module mounting brackets are special supports used in photovoltaic power plants and other photovoltaic module fields for installing, placing, supporting, fixing, and adjusting photovoltaic modules. Together with photovoltaic modules, combiner boxes, inverters, and other core equipment, they constitute a photovoltaic power generation system. As an important supporting structure for supporting photovoltaic modules, the safety and ease of installation of photovoltaic brackets are core requirements.

[0003] Currently, to adapt to terrain, most photovoltaic mounting brackets are discretely distributed, using adjustable column height technology to address installation issues on uneven terrain. For example, multiple adjustment pin holes are set on the column, and height adjustment is achieved through the interaction of the pin shaft and the pin holes. However, this adjustment method cannot achieve self-adaptation, or can only adapt to a small angle adjustment range. It is difficult to meet the construction requirements of projects with significant ground elevation variations, and it cannot avoid the impact of ground settlement on system reliability. Furthermore, it cannot accommodate angle changes in any direction. Existing tracking brackets require real-time rotation of the panel based on changes in the solar altitude angle, making them technically challenging to adapt to mountainous terrain and ground settlement. Additionally, the technology of producing bracket columns adapted to slopes, allowing the main shaft to rotate and be mounted on the columns, is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inconvenient to install. Summary of the Invention

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an adaptive adjustable photovoltaic module mounting bracket, which solves the problem that existing photovoltaic brackets cannot achieve self-adaptation, or can only adapt to a small angle adjustment range, making it difficult to meet the construction requirements of projects with large variations in ground elevation, and unable to meet the angle changes in any direction in space.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an adaptive adjustable photovoltaic module mounting bracket, comprising a base plate and a top plate. A fixing plate is fixedly mounted on one side of the upper surface of the base plate. A No. 3 shaft is rotatably mounted on the upper front and rear sides of the fixing plate. A worm gear is fixedly sleeved on one end of the No. 3 shaft. The top plate is fixedly sleeved on the No. 3 shaft. An installation block is fixedly mounted on one side of the front front surface of the base plate. An adjusting rod is rotatably mounted on the installation block. A worm gear is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the adjusting rod. Two side plates are fixedly mounted on both the front and rear ends of one side of the upper surface of the base plate. A No. 4 shaft is rotatably mounted between the two side plates on the front and rear sides. A connecting plate is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the No. 4 shaft. An auxiliary support mechanism is installed on both the front and rear ends of the side of the upper surface of the base plate away from the fixing plate.

[0008] Side blocks are fixedly installed on both the front and rear ends of the upper surface of the top plate. A No. 1 shaft is rotatably installed on one side of the front and rear ends of the two side blocks on both sides. A bracket assembly is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the two No. 1 shafts. An adjustment seat is fixedly installed at the midpoint of the upper surface of the top plate. An adjustment screw is rotatably installed at the midpoint of one side of the inner wall of the adjustment seat. Moving components are installed on both sides of the outer wall of the adjustment screw.

[0009] The auxiliary support mechanism includes an outer cylinder, an inner block is movably sleeved inside the outer cylinder, a fixed shaft is fixedly installed on the rear end face of the inner block and a connecting spring is fixedly installed on both the front and rear ends of the lower end face, the bracket assembly includes a bottom block, an mounting plate is fixedly installed on the upper end of the bottom block, and a connecting block is fixedly installed on both the front and rear ends of the lower end face of the mounting plate away from the bottom block, a second shaft is rotatably installed in each of the two connecting blocks and a linkage rod is sleeved on the outer wall of the second shaft;

[0010] The moving component includes a moving block, which is threaded onto the outside of the adjusting screw, and a connecting shaft is fixedly provided on one side of the front and rear ends of the outer wall of the moving block.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the adjusting screw passes through one side of the outer wall of the adjusting seat, and the adjusting seat has through holes at both the front and rear ends. The connecting shaft passes through the through holes and is rotatably sleeved with the linkage rod.

[0012] Preferably, a through groove is provided on the upper surface of the top plate near the bottom block, and the bottom block is fixedly sleeved on the first shaft.

[0013] Preferably, the worm gear is meshed with the worm wheel, and a movable groove is provided at the front and rear ends of the upper end of the base plate at the lower end of the connecting plate. When the connecting plate is flipped, it is embedded in the movable groove.

[0014] Preferably, the end of the connecting plate away from the fourth shaft is rotatably sleeved with the fixed shaft, and a groove is provided on one side of the outer wall of the outer cylinder, the position of the groove corresponding to the upper and lower parts of the connecting plate.

[0015] Preferably, support legs are fixedly installed at the front and rear ends of both sides of the lower end face of the base plate.

[0016] Preferably, the adjusting screw is a bidirectional threaded rod.

[0017] Working principle: When using this mounting bracket, first use the lower bracket legs to install it in the designated position, and then install the photovoltaic modules on the mounting plate of the upper bracket assembly. After the photovoltaic modules are installed and fixed, adaptive adjustments can be made according to specific conditions, including adjusting the tilt angle of the mounting plate and the angle of the top plate.

[0018] The specific operation for adjusting the tilt angle of the mounting plate is as follows: After fixing the photovoltaic module on the upper part of the mounting plate, the moving block with threaded connection is driven to move by turning the adjusting screw. The movement of the moving block drives the outer connecting shaft to move. Since the lower end of the mounting plate is connected to the connecting shaft by the connecting block, the second shaft and the linkage rod, and the bottom block on the other side of the lower end of the mounting plate is rotatably set on the side block through the first shaft, the linkage rod is pulled to move when the moving block is displaced. The other end is rotatably connected through the first shaft, so that the tilt angle is changed by flipping the movement, thereby achieving the required angle adjustment.

[0019] The specific operation for adjusting the angle of the top plate is as follows: After adjusting the tilt of the upper support assembly, the worm gear is rotated by twisting the adjusting rod. The No. 3 shaft connected to the inner side of the worm gear rotates, causing the outer top plate to flip and tilt. Since there is an auxiliary support mechanism on the other side of the top plate, the connecting spring inside the auxiliary support mechanism ensures its extensibility, and a connecting plate linked with the auxiliary support mechanism is set at the lower end. When the top plate flips, the tilt angle of the connecting plate changes synchronously. This not only provides auxiliary support, but also enables the linkage operation function between multiple components.

[0020] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0021] This invention provides an adaptive adjustable photovoltaic module mounting bracket. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] This invention provides an adaptive adjustable photovoltaic module mounting bracket. During use, the bracket fixes the photovoltaic modules to a mounting plate. The mounting plate, through an adjusting screw, a moving component, and a linkage rod connected to the moving component at its lower end, allows the mounting plate's posture to adaptively track the adjustment of the photovoltaic bracket's pitch angle. Simultaneously, since the bracket assembly is mounted on a top plate, which is fixedly connected to a third shaft, the rotation of the third shaft drives the top plate's movement. An auxiliary support mechanism at the lower end of the top plate provides auxiliary support during the adjustment process, ensuring installation stability and allowing the bracket to rotate within a certain angle range during installation. This allows the photovoltaic modules to be set to the desired installation angle according to actual needs. When the photovoltaic bracket is installed on a sloping site, this allows the mounting bracket to further adapt to the sloping terrain. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Example:

[0032] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides an adaptive adjustable photovoltaic module mounting bracket, including a base plate 4 and a top plate 15. A fixing plate 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the upper surface of the base plate 4. A third shaft 19 is rotatably installed on the upper part of the front and rear sides of the fixing plate 11. A worm gear 18 is fixedly sleeved on one end of the third shaft 19. One side of the top plate 15 is fixedly sleeved on the third shaft 19. A mounting block 9 is fixedly installed on one side of the front surface of the base plate 4. An adjusting rod 10 is rotatably installed on the mounting block 9. A worm gear 20 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the adjusting rod 10. Two side plates 23 are fixedly installed on the front and rear ends of one side of the upper end face of the base plate 4. The two side plates 23 on the front and rear sides are rotatably connected to the fourth shaft 22. A connecting plate 7 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the fourth shaft 22. An auxiliary support mechanism 1 is installed at the front and rear ends of the side of the upper end face of the base plate 4 away from the fixed plate 11. The worm 20 is meshed with the worm wheel 18. The front and rear ends of the upper end face of the base plate 4 are provided with a movable groove 5 located at the lower end of the connecting plate 7. When the connecting plate 7 is flipped, it is embedded in the movable groove 5.

[0033] Specifically, during use, the upper worm gear 20 is rotated by twisting the adjusting rod 10. The rotation of the worm gear 20 causes the meshing worm wheel 18 to rotate, and the third shaft 19 fixed inside the worm wheel 18 rotates accordingly. When the third shaft 19 rotates, it causes the connected top plate 15 to rotate together. The auxiliary support mechanism 1 located on the base plate 4 provides auxiliary support force for the top plate 15, which not only enables the rapid adjustment of the angle and posture of the top plate 15, but also ensures that the adjusted top plate 15 is in a stable state, effectively providing support.

[0034] The auxiliary support mechanism 1 includes an outer cylinder 102, an inner block 101 is movably sleeved inside the outer cylinder 102, a fixed shaft 103 is fixedly installed on the rear end face of the inner block 101, and a connecting spring 104 is fixedly installed on both the front and rear ends of the lower end face. The end of the connecting plate 7 away from the fourth shaft 22 is rotatably sleeved with the fixed shaft 103. A groove 21 is opened on one side of the outer wall of the outer cylinder 102, and the position of the groove 21 corresponds vertically to the connecting plate 7.

[0035] Specifically, the upper end of the inner block 101 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the top plate 15. The inner block 101, together with the connecting spring 104 and the outer cylinder 102, provides auxiliary support for the top plate 15. Since the connecting spring 104 is telescopic, it can achieve telescopic adjustment of the top plate 15 when adjusting its pitch angle. Furthermore, since the connecting plate 7 is connected to the outer fixed shaft 103, the inner block 101 can change the angle tilt direction of the connecting plate 7 when it moves with the top plate 15 to adjust its pitch angle.

[0036] Reference Figures 1-2 Side blocks 12 are fixedly installed on both the front and rear ends of the upper surface of the top plate 15. A No. 1 shaft 13 is rotatably installed on one side of the front and rear ends of the two side blocks 12 on both sides. A bracket assembly 14 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the two No. 1 shafts 13. An adjustment seat 2 is fixedly installed at the midpoint of the upper surface of the top plate 15. An adjustment screw 3 is rotatably installed at the midpoint of one side of the inner wall of the adjustment seat 2. Moving components 6 are installed on both sides of the outer wall of the adjustment screw 3. The adjustment screw 3 is a bidirectional threaded rod.

[0037] Specifically, during use, the moving component 6 with threaded connections on both sides can be quickly moved laterally by twisting the adjusting screw 3; and since the bracket component 14 is fixed on the first shaft 13, and the first shaft 13 is rotatably connected inside the side block 12, the first shaft 13 can rotate, thereby driving the bracket component 14 connected on the outside to flip.

[0038] Reference Figures 1-2 The moving component 6 includes a moving block 602, which is threaded onto the outside of the adjusting screw 3. A connecting shaft 601 is fixedly installed on one side of the front and rear ends of the outer wall of the moving block 602. One end of the adjusting screw 3 passes through one side of the outer wall of the adjusting seat 2. Through holes 16 are opened at both the front and rear ends of the adjusting seat 2. The connecting shaft 601 passes through the through holes 16 and is rotatably sleeved with the linkage rod 1405. The bracket component 14 includes a bottom block 1401. A mounting plate 1402 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the bottom block 1401. A connecting block 1403 is fixedly installed at both the front and rear ends of the lower end face of the mounting plate 1402 away from the bottom block 1401. A second shaft 1404 is rotatably installed in both connecting blocks 1403. A linkage rod 1405 is sleeved on the outer shaft of the second shaft 1404. A through groove 17 is opened on the upper end face of the top plate 15 near the bottom block 1401. The bottom block 1401 is fixedly sleeved on the first shaft 13.

[0039] Specifically, during use, turning the adjusting screw 3 causes the outer moving block 602 to move laterally. The moving block 602 moves within the adjusting seat 2, and the connecting shaft 601 on the front and rear sides moves laterally within the through hole 16. Since the linkage rod 1405 is connected to the connecting shaft 601, when the connecting shaft 601 moves laterally, it will generate a pulling force on the linkage rod 1405. The other end of the linkage rod 1405 is rotatably connected to the second shaft 1404. At this time, the tilt angle of the linkage rod 1405 changes, causing the height of the upper second shaft 1404 to change, which in turn causes the height of the upper mounting plate 1402 to change. One end of the mounting plate 1402 is connected to the first shaft 13, ultimately realizing the rotation of the first shaft 13 and the change of the pitch angle of the mounting plate 1402.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 Support legs 8 are fixedly installed on both the front and rear ends of the lower end face of the base plate 4;

[0041] Specifically, when installing and using this mounting bracket, simply fix the lower bracket leg 8 in the designated position to complete the quick positioning and installation.

[0042] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
