Obviously, the described embodiments are 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 those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] Combine the following Figures 1 to 4 , describing an embodiment of the present invention.

[0041] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the one hand, a balcony photovoltaic bracket is provided, which is arranged on the balcony, and includes: two groups of connection components 1 and two groups of adjustment components. The two groups of connection components 1 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the balcony, the upper end of the connection component 1 is connected to the handrail of the balcony, and the lower end is connected to the railing of the balcony; each group of adjustment components is connected to a corresponding group of connection components 1, and the adjustment components include: a mounting frame 21, a hinge 22 and an adjustment rod, and a plurality of connection holes are arranged at intervals on the two sides of the mounting frame 21, the hinge 22 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting frame 21, and is hinged to the connection component 1, one end of the adjustment rod is hinged to the lower end of the connection component 1, and the other end is connected to the connection hole.

[0042] The connection assembly 1 is installed in a way that the upper end is connected to the handrail and the lower end is connected to the railing, so as to achieve multi-point connection with the balcony to provide the necessary support force and ensure that the balcony photovoltaic bracket is firmly fixed on the balcony. The spacing between the two sets of connection assemblies 1 can be adjusted according to the size of the balcony, so that it can be suitable for balconies of different sizes, providing greater flexibility for installation.

[0043] The mounting frame 21 in the adjustment assembly is used to install and fix the photovoltaic assembly. The mounting frame 21 is a rectangular frame that matches the shape of the photovoltaic assembly. In addition, a plurality of connection holes are arranged at intervals on the two sides of the mounting frame 21. The connection holes are designed for subsequent angle adjustment of the mounting frame 21 and the photovoltaic assembly. The hinge 22 is arranged at the upper end of the mounting frame 21 and is hinged to the connection assembly 1 to ensure that the mounting frame 21 can rotate around the upper end of the connection assembly 1 while being connected to the connection assembly 1. The setting of the adjustment rod provides support for the mounting frame 21, and at the same time, the angle adjustment of the mounting frame 21 can be achieved by changing the connection position of the adjustment rod and the connection hole on the mounting frame 21.

[0044] Users can adjust the angle of the rod by selecting different connection hole positions, thereby changing the inclination angle of the mounting frame, thereby optimizing the installation angle of the photovoltaic module, ensuring that it can receive sunlight to the maximum extent and improving the efficiency of photovoltaic power generation.

[0045] In some embodiments, the hinge 22 includes: a fixed portion 221 and a hinged portion 222 , the fixed portion 221 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 21 , and two hinged portions 222 are respectively disposed on both sides of the fixed portion 221 and are hinged to the connecting assembly 1 .

[0046] Specifically, the hinge 22 is composed of a fixed portion 221 and a hinge 222. The fixed portion 221 is in the shape of a plate, and a hole is opened on it to facilitate connection with the mounting frame 21 through fasteners such as bolts. The two hinges 222 are formed by bending the upper part of the fixed portion 221 to both sides. The hinge 222 also has a hole, and the hinge 222 can be hingedly connected to the connecting assembly 1 by setting a rotating shaft. The hinge 22 can be set to allow the mounting frame 21 to rotate around the connection point between the hinge 22 and the connecting assembly 1 to adjust the angle of the mounting frame 21.

[0047] In some embodiments, the adjusting rod includes: two connecting rods 231 and two connecting shafts, the two connecting rods 231 are arranged opposite to each other, the connecting shaft is arranged between the two connecting rods 231, and the two connecting shafts are respectively located at the two ends of the two connecting rods 231, one of the connecting shafts is hinged to the connecting component 1, and the other connecting shaft is hinged to the connecting hole of the mounting frame 21.

[0048] The two connecting rods 231 are arranged parallel to each other and opposite to each other, and the two connecting shafts serve as rotation nodes between the connecting rods 231 and other parts of the bracket. One connecting shaft is connected to the lower end of the connecting component 1 by a hinge, so that the adjustment rod can rotate freely around the connecting shaft to adapt to the change of the angle of the mounting frame 21. The other connecting shaft is hinged to a connecting hole on the mounting frame 21. By selecting different connecting hole positions on the mounting frame 21, the angle of the adjusting rod can be adjusted, thereby changing the overall inclination angle of the mounting frame 21. The balcony photovoltaic bracket can be quickly adjusted according to the different requirements of sunlight exposure of the photovoltaic module.

[0049] Furthermore, a support rod is provided in the middle of the two connecting rods 231 to improve the structural strength of the connecting rods 231 .

[0050] In some embodiments, the mounting frame 21 is provided with photovoltaic modules.

[0051] Photovoltaic modules are generally photovoltaic panels that can convert sunlight into electrical energy, which can be used to supply electricity to households. The photovoltaic modules can be quickly fixed by installing the frame 21.

[0052] In some embodiments, the connection assembly 1 includes: a hanging member and a column 12, the upper end of the column 12 is provided with a hanging member, the hanging member is hung with a handrail, and the lower end of the column 122 is connected to the railing.

[0053] The upper end of the column 12 is connected to the handrail through a hanging piece, which can prevent the balcony photovoltaic bracket from falling as a whole, and the hanging connection method is simple and fast, without the assistance of additional connectors 131. In addition, the lower end of the column 12 is connected to the railing, which further improves the stability and safety of the balcony photovoltaic bracket.

[0054] In one embodiment, the hanging member is a U-shaped hook 11 .

[0055] The shape of the hanging member is approximately U-shaped, and the U-shaped hook 11 can be directly hung on the handrail with its opening downward.

[0056] In some embodiments, the connection assembly 1 further includes a clamping mechanism 13 , and the lower end of the column 12 is connected to the railing via the clamping mechanism 13 .

[0057] The clamping mechanism 13 can clamp the railing from both sides to achieve the connection between the column 12 and the railing. This connection method is stable and safer.

[0058] In other embodiments, the clamping mechanism 13 may not be provided, but the column 12 and the railing may be fixed by a clamp or the like.

[0059] In one embodiment, the clamping mechanism 13 includes: a connecting member 131, a clamping plate 132 and a fastener 133. The connecting member 131 is arranged on the outside of the railing and connected to the column 12, and the clamping plate 132 is arranged on the inside of the railing. The connecting member 131 and the clamping plate 132 are connected by the fastener 133.

[0060] The connecting piece 131 is arranged on the outside of the railing, and the clamping plate 132 is arranged on the inside of the railing to clamp the railing from both sides, and then the two are connected to the railing by the fastener 133 to complete the fixation to the railing, so that the connection between the column 12 and the railing is tighter and more stable.

[0061] In one embodiment, a slide groove is provided on the connecting member 131, and the fastener 133 includes a bolt and a nut. One end of the bolt is inserted into the slide groove, and the other end passes through the clamping plate 132 and is provided with a nut.

[0062] Both sides of the connector 131 are provided with a slide groove, which is connected with the surface of the connector 131, and the size of the slide groove close to the surface of the connector 131 is smaller than the size close to the bottom of the groove, so that the end of the bolt can be inserted into the slide groove and can slide along the extension direction of the slide groove to adjust the position, but the axial displacement of the bolt can be limited. A through hole is provided on the clamping plate 132, and a nut is set after the end of the bolt passes through the through hole. After tightening the nut, the connector 131 and the clamping plate 132 can clamp the railing from both sides. The connection method of the connector 131 and the column 12 is the same. The bolt slides into the slide groove of the connector 131 facing the side of the column 12, and the end passes through the wall of the column 12, and then a nut is set and tightened. The setting of the slide groove provides a certain adjustment range for the installation of the bolt, which improves the convenience of installation.

[0063] In other embodiments, the connecting member 131 may be a plate similar to the clamping plate 132 with four holes formed thereon, two of which are connected to the clamping plate 132 via bolts and nuts, and the other two are connected to the column 12 via bolts and nuts.

[0064] In one embodiment, each set of clamping plate mechanisms 13 includes two fasteners 133 , and the two fasteners 133 are respectively located at two ends of the clamping plate 132 .

[0065] Specifically, two fasteners 133 are respectively located on both sides of two railings, that is, two railings are included between each set of clamping plate mechanisms 13. The two fasteners 133 arranged at both ends of the clamping plate 132 can prevent the clamping plate mechanism 13 from sliding out from any direction, which is safer.

[0066] In other embodiments, the number of fasteners 133 may be adjusted according to the spacing between the rails and the size of the clamping plate 132. For example, three, four, or other numbers of fasteners 133 may be provided.

[0067] The installation process of the balcony photovoltaic bracket provided in this embodiment is described as follows:

[0068] The photovoltaic module is set on the mounting frame 21, and then the mounting frame 21 is hinged to the upper end of the column 12 through the hinge 22, and is hinged to the lower end of the column 12 through the adjustment rod. Then the balcony photovoltaic bracket is hung on the handrail through the hanging piece, and then the lower end of the column 12 is fixedly connected to the railing through the clamping mechanism 13.

[0069] When the angle of the mounting frame 21 and the photovoltaic module needs to be adjusted, the mounting frame 21 is rotated around the hinge point between the hinge 22 and the column 12 and the position of the connection hole of the adjustment rod on the mounting frame 21 is changed to adjust to a suitable angle.

[0070] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations are all within the scope defined by the appended claims.
