Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a hanger for a large offshore photovoltaic support. Background Art

[0002] Offshore photovoltaics is the construction of solar photovoltaic power generation systems in marine environments such as offshore and tidal flats. It can effectively utilize vast marine resources, reduce the occupation of land resources, and reduce the impact on the environment. The current offshore photovoltaic structures are floating and pile-fixed. A certain offshore photovoltaic project in Shandong adopts a pile-fixed structure. An offshore photovoltaic support unit includes a photovoltaic support and four piles driven into the sea. The photovoltaic support 100 is a truss structure with a plane size of 59.5m×34.3m; photovoltaic panels are installed on the top surface of the photovoltaic support 100 (multiple photovoltaic panels are installed on the top surface of a photovoltaic support). The top elevations of two of the four pile foundations 200 are higher than the elevations of the other two pile foundations 200, and each of the tops of the four pile foundations 200 is provided with a connecting seat 2A; the bottom of the photovoltaic support 100 has four fulcrum seats 1A, which are used to dock with the connecting seats 2A at the tops of the four pile foundations 200 one by one, so that the top surface of the photovoltaic support 100 is inclined by 15° (see Figure 1 ). During the hoisting process of the offshore photovoltaic bracket, since the four fulcrums are below the top surface of the photovoltaic bracket, if a conventional flat rectangular hanger is used to lift the photovoltaic bracket, four holes corresponding to the positions of the four fulcrums need to be reserved on the top surface of the photovoltaic bracket, that is, the photovoltaic panels at the hole positions are not installed to facilitate the connection between the hanger and the fulcrum seats. After the photovoltaic bracket is installed on the four pile foundations, the photovoltaic panels at the four hole positions are installed. This not only increases the process, but also increases the safety risks of operators installing photovoltaic panels at sea. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a hoist for large offshore photovoltaic brackets, which can simply and conveniently hoist the photovoltaic brackets and maintain the tilted state of the photovoltaic brackets during the lifting process, thereby realizing the precise installation of the photovoltaic brackets and improving the installation efficiency of the photovoltaic brackets.

[0004] The object of the present invention is achieved as follows: A hanger for a large offshore photovoltaic support, comprising a hanger, two long hangers, two short hangers, four hangers, four hanger arm rotation mechanisms and four hoops; wherein,

[0005] The hanger is a rectangular frame composed of two long main poles and two short main poles. The length of the hanger is adapted to the spacing of the four support seats of the photovoltaic bracket in the length direction, and the width of the hanger is greater than the plane width of the photovoltaic bracket; an upper ear plate is fixed to each of the four corners of the top surface of the hanger;

[0008] The difference between the length of the long suspension rod and the length of the short suspension rod is equal to the difference between the heights of the pile foundations of the two high top elevations and the pile foundations of the low top elevation;

[0009] The boom includes a sleeve, a horizontal rod vertically connected to the bottom of the sleeve, a diagonal brace connected between the top surface of the outer end of the horizontal rod and the top outer surface of the sleeve, and a lower ear plate installed on the bottom surface of the outer end of the horizontal rod; the four booms are respectively sleeved on the lower parts of the two long booms and the lower parts of the two short booms through the sleeves; the length of the horizontal rod is equal to the horizontal distance from the long side of the photovoltaic bracket to the center of the nearest fulcrum seat + L, and L is half of the difference between the width of the hanger and the plane width of the photovoltaic bracket;

[0010] Four sets of boom rotation mechanisms are correspondingly installed at the bottom of the four booms, and each set of boom rotation mechanisms includes a passive gear fixedly sleeved on the lower end of the sleeve, a reduction motor fixed at the bottom of the long boom / short boom, and a driving gear installed on the reduction motor and meshing with the passive gear;

[0011] The hoop comprises a hoop body formed by two semicircular hoop plates held together by two latches, and a hanging ring fixed between the middle top surfaces of the two hoop plates; four hoops are respectively hung on the lower ear plates of four booms through the hanging rings in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0012] The above-mentioned hanger for large offshore photovoltaic support, wherein the hanger also includes a plurality of short struts spanning between two long main poles.

[0013] In the above-mentioned hanger for large offshore photovoltaic support, the upper parts of the two long hangers and the upper parts of the two short hangers are connected by an X-shaped horizontal strut.

[0014] The hanger for a large offshore photovoltaic support of the present invention has the following characteristics: an upper ear plate is fixed to each of the four corners of the top surface of a rectangular hanger, and the lower ends of four slings are connected to the four upper ear plates one by one, and the upper ends of the four slings are connected to the hooks of the lifting equipment; two long suspension rods and two short suspension rods are connected to the four corners of the bottom surface of the hanger one by one, and a suspension arm is installed at the bottom of the two long suspension rods and the bottom of the two short suspension rods, and a set of rotating mechanisms is installed on each suspension arm, and the horizontal rotation of each suspension arm is controlled by the lifting device. The outer ends of the rods are each connected to a clamp through a lower ear plate, and the horizontal rods of the four booms can avoid interference with the photovoltaic bracket when the hanger is lowered through four sets of rotating mechanisms. When the hanger is lowered to a set height, the horizontal rods of the four rotating booms are inserted under the top surface of the photovoltaic bracket through four sets of rotating mechanisms, so that the four clamps can be connected to the four fulcrum seats on the photovoltaic bracket one by one; then, the photovoltaic bracket can be kept in an inclined state during the process of lifting the photovoltaic bracket until the photovoltaic bracket is docked with four pile foundations driven at sea. The use of the hanger for large offshore photovoltaic brackets of the present invention can avoid reserving holes on the top surface of the photovoltaic bracket, thereby avoiding the need to install photovoltaic panels again after the photovoltaic bracket is hoisted, greatly improving the installation efficiency of the photovoltaic bracket.
