DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In the description of the present invention, the term "for example" is used to mean "used as an example, illustration or illustration". Any embodiment of the present invention described as "for example" is not necessarily to be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments. The following description is given to enable any person skilled in the art to implement and use the present invention. In the following description, details are listed for the purpose of explanation. It should be understood that a person of ordinary skill in the art can recognize that the present invention can be implemented without using these specific details. In other examples, well-known structures and processes are not elaborated in detail to avoid obscuring the description of the present invention with unnecessary details. Therefore, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed herein.

[0026] See Figures 1-8 An adjustable photovoltaic panel mounting bracket includes a folding frame 1, a slide 2, a slide plate 3, a slide groove 4, a slider 5, a connecting rod 6, a gravity block 7, a first rack 8, a second rack 9, a fixing frame 10, a first gear 11, a second gear 12 and a light sensor 13.

[0027] In the above embodiment, the slide 2 is fixedly arranged in the folding frame 1, and the skateboard 3 is slidably arranged in the slide 2, which provides a limited sliding space for the skateboard 3. The shape and size of the slide 2 are adapted to the skateboard 3, ensuring that the skateboard 3 can slide linearly inside it, while limiting unnecessary displacement of the skateboard 3 in other directions. The skateboard 3 is slidably arranged in the slide 2. This sliding connection method enables the skateboard 3 to change its position relative to the folding frame 1.

[0028] Preferably, the slide groove 4 is opened at the bottom of the folding frame 1, and the slider 5 is slidably set in the slide groove 4. The design of the slide groove 4 provides a track for the sliding of the slider 5, and the slider 5 relies on sliding in the slide groove 4 to realize the change of its own position.

[0029] Preferably, the connecting rod 6 is set at the bottom of the slider 5 through a thread. This threaded connection method facilitates the installation and disassembly of the connecting rod 6 and the slider 5, and also allows the position of the connecting rod 6 relative to the slider 5 to be fine-tuned. The gravity block 7 is detachably set at the bottom of the connecting rod 6. The detachable feature of the gravity block 7 makes it easy to replace the gravity blocks 7 of different weights according to actual needs. Its main function is to affect the adjustment of the entire device through its own gravity, such as relying on the torque generated by gravity to change the balance state of the device, thereby realizing the corresponding adjustment function.

[0030] Preferably, the first rack 8 is fixedly arranged on the side of the connecting rod 6, the second rack 9 is fixedly arranged on the side of the sliding plate 3, and the movement and force are transmitted through the meshing with the gear, the fixed frame 10 is fixedly arranged on the bottom of the folding frame 1, providing a mounting basis for the first gear 11 and the second gear 12, ensuring the relative stability of the positions of the first gear 11 and the second gear 12 during rotation, the first gear 11 is rotatably arranged on the bottom of the fixed frame 10, the first gear 11 meshes with the first rack 8, the second gear 12 is rotatably arranged on the bottom of the fixed frame 10, the second gear 12 meshes with the first gear 11, the second gear 12 meshes with the second rack 9, the light sensor 13 is mounted on the top of the folding frame 1, and the diameter of the first gear 11 is 2.5 times larger than the diameter of the second gear 12. The size difference will affect the transmission ratio, so that when the first rack 8 and the second rack 9 interact with the first gear 11 and the second gear 12, the movement speed and displacement between different components will be converted according to the corresponding proportional relationship, thereby realizing the adjustment effect of the center of gravity.

[0031] Preferably, the light sensor 13 is mounted on the top of the folding frame 1, which serves as a sensor for sensing the external light conditions, can detect the intensity, direction and other information of the light, and convert these light signals into electrical signals to transmit to the related control system (such as the air cylinder 34), so as to trigger the device to perform corresponding adjustment actions, so that the photovoltaic panel can better face the direction with the best light, and the photovoltaic power generation efficiency is improved.

[0032] Preferably, when adjusting the center of gravity, first pull the sliding plate 3, the sliding plate 3 moves to drive the second rack 9 to move, the second rack 9 moves to drive the second gear 12 to move, the second gear 12 moves to drive the first gear 11 to move, the first gear 11 moves to drive the first rack 8 to move, the first rack 8 moves to drive the connecting rod 6 to move, and the connecting rod 6 moves to drive the gravity block 7 to move. Because the first gear 11 meshes with the second gear 12, and the diameter of the first gear 11 is 2.5 times larger than that of the second gear 12, according to the gear transmission principle, the rotation of the first gear 11 will drive the second gear 12 to rotate at a corresponding speed ratio, and the second gear 12 meshes with the second rack 9, the rotation of the second gear 12 will cause the second rack 9 to produce a corresponding linear motion, thereby driving the sliding plate 3 to slide in the slide 2, and the sliding of the sliding plate 3 drives the gravity block 7 to move, thereby completing the adjustment of the center of gravity.

[0033] First, refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, it also includes a first support rod 14, a second support rod 15, a bearing frame 16, a sliding groove 17, an extension plate 18 and a clamping assembly 19.

[0034] In the above embodiment, the first support rod 14 is fixedly arranged at the top of the sliding plate 3, and the second support rod 15 is fixedly arranged at the top of the folding frame 1, which respectively extends upward from the sliding plate 3 and the folding frame 1, plays a role of supporting and transmitting force, provides a support basis for the subsequent load-bearing frame 16 and other components, and the material of the first support rod 14 and the second support rod 15 is selected to be a material with strength and rigidity, such as metal pipe or profile, so as to ensure that it can bear the weight of the load-bearing frame 16 and other components such as photovoltaic panels which can be installed on the load-bearing frame 16, and it is connected through bolts to prevent loosening, deformation and other conditions during use, thereby ensuring the stability of the entire structure.

[0035] Preferably, the load-bearing frame 16 is rotatably arranged at the top of the second support rod 15, and this rotating connection mode enables the load-bearing frame 16 to rotate at an angle relative to the second support rod 15. The load-bearing frame 16, as an important component for carrying photovoltaic panels, has its own structure with strength and rigidity to uniformly disperse the weight of the photovoltaic panels, avoiding damage due to excessive local stress. At the same time, the shape and size of the load-bearing frame 16 are designed according to the specifications of the photovoltaic panels to be adapted. In this embodiment, it is a rectangular frame structure with sufficient space at the top for installing and fixing photovoltaic panels, and the perimeter frame can provide suitable location conditions for the installation of subsequent clamping assemblies 19 and the like.

[0036] Preferably, the sliding groove 17 is arranged in the load-bearing frame 16, which provides a specific sliding track for the extension plate 18. The width, depth and other dimensions of the sliding groove 17 are adapted to the extension plate 18, so that the extension plate 18 can freely slide in the groove without excessive shaking or deviation. The extension plate 18 is slidably arranged in the sliding groove 17, and the extension plate 18 is rotatably arranged with the first support rod 14. The clamping assembly 19 is installed on the top of the load-bearing frame 16 and the extension plate 18 on both sides. The extension plate 18 can adjust its position relative to the load-bearing frame 16 by sliding in the sliding groove 17, and the rotatable connection with the first support rod 14 enables it to change the angle. This adjustable position and angle change capability can better adapt to photovoltaic panels of different sizes and installation requirements, providing convenient conditions for precise installation and angle adjustment.

[0037] Then, referring to Figure 5 In this embodiment, the clamping assembly 19 includes a support frame 20, two fixed claws 21, two cross plates 22, a bidirectional screw 23, a shielding cover 24, a first bevel gear 25, a rotating handle 26, a second bevel gear 27 and a fixed nut 28.

[0038] In the above embodiment, the support frame 20 is fixedly arranged on the top of the bearing frame 16 and the extension plate 18, and serves as the base support structure of the clamping assembly 19. The support frame 20 is made of metal material with high strength and rigidity, such as angle steel, channel steel or special metal frame structure, so as to ensure that it can support the fixed claws 21, the horizontal plates 22 and bear the reaction force from the photovoltaic panel during the clamping process. The fixed connection between the support frame 20 and the bearing frame 16 and the extension plate 18 is achieved by welding, so as to prevent loosening and displacement during long-term use, and provide a solid foundation for the stable operation of the clamping assembly 19.

[0039] Preferably, each fixed claw 21 is rotationally arranged on the top of the support frame 20, and the fixed claws 21 are arranged in a cross shape. The rotational arrangement enables the fixed claws 21 to rotate around the connection points between the fixed claws 21 and the support frame 20. The cross arrangement increases the flexibility and adaptability of the fixed claws 21 when they contact the photovoltaic panel during clamping. The shape and size of the fixed claws 21 are designed according to the edge shape and thickness of the photovoltaic panel to be clamped. The end of the fixed claw 21 is designed to have a curved contact shape, so as to better fit the surface of the photovoltaic panel. The fixed claws 21 can ensure sufficient clamping force and will not damage the photovoltaic panel during clamping. In addition, the fixed claws 21 can effectively prevent the photovoltaic panel from slipping off the clamping position.

[0040] Preferably, each horizontal plate 22 is rotationally arranged on the side surface of the corresponding fixed claw 21. The horizontal plate 22 plays a role in connecting and transmitting force in the clamping assembly 19. The rotational connection between the horizontal plate 22 and the fixed claw 21 enables the horizontal plate 22 to change the angle accordingly when the fixed claw 21 rotates during clamping, so as to ensure smooth clamping operation. The material of the horizontal plate 22 also has strength to withstand the clamping force and transmit it to the bidirectional screw 23. The length and width of the horizontal plate 22 are determined according to the spacing between the fixed claws 21 and the layout of the clamping assembly 19, so as to ensure that the horizontal plate 22 can participate in the clamping operation at different angles.

[0041] Preferably, the bidirectional screw 23 is arranged between the horizontal plates 22 by screwing. The bidirectional screw 23 is the core transmission component for clamping and loosening. The bidirectional screw 23 has two screw thread parts with different rotation directions (usually left-handed and right-handed). When the bidirectional screw 23 rotates, the horizontal plates 22 connected to the bidirectional screw 23 move towards or away from each other due to the screw thread, thereby driving the fixed claws 21 to clamp or loosen the photovoltaic panel. The bidirectional screw 23 has high strength and precision, and can withstand the large axial force generated during clamping, so as to ensure the reliable realization of the clamping function.

[0042] Preferably, the shielding cover 24 is fixedly arranged on the side of the support frame 20, which mainly plays a role of protecting the internal components. The shielding cover 24 is made of metal sheet, which covers the first bevel gear 25, the second bevel gear 27 and part of the rotating handle 26, etc. to prevent dust, rain, sundries and other external factors from entering the inside and affecting the normal operation of the components, thereby prolonging the service life of the components and making the whole clamping assembly 19 look more clean and beautiful from the appearance.

[0043] Preferably, the first bevel gear 25 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the bidirectional screw rod 23, the rotating handle 26 is rotatably arranged on the shielding cover 24, one end of the rotating handle 26 extends into the shielding cover 24, the second bevel gear 27 is fixedly arranged at one end of the rotating handle 26, the first bevel gear 25 is engaged with the second bevel gear 27, and the fixed nut 28 is threadedly arranged on the rotating handle 26. The unique shape and transmission characteristics of the bevel gears enable them to change the direction of force transmission, realize the conversion from the horizontal rotation of the rotating handle 26 to the vertical rotation of the bidirectional screw rod 23, and the modulus and the number of teeth of the two bevel gears are matched with each other to ensure the accuracy of engagement and the stability of transmission. In the process of transmitting power, the rotating force of the rotating handle 26 can be transmitted to the bidirectional screw rod 23 to drive the clamping action.

[0044] Preferably, the rotating handle 26 is directly operated by the operator, so that the rotating handle 26 can be easily rotated to drive the whole clamping assembly 19 to work. The fixed nut 28 is threadedly arranged on the rotating handle 26. The fixed nut 28 is used to make the rotating handle 26 tightly contact with the shielding cover 24 and other components after the clamping assembly 19 is adjusted to the appropriate clamping position, so as to fix the rotating handle 26 at the current position by using the friction force, prevent the rotating handle 26 from rotating due to accidental touch or vibration during use, and ensure the stability of the clamping state, so that the photovoltaic panel can be clamped stably and continuously.

[0045] Secondly, referring to Figure 2 In the embodiment, the first connecting block 29, the first rotating rod 30, the second connecting block 31 and the second rotating rod 32 are further included.

The structure of the first connecting block 29 has sufficient strength and stability to ensure that it can be fixedly arranged on the folding frame 1 and provide reliable rotating support for the first rotating rod 30. The material of the first connecting block 29 is generally selected from metal materials, which is connected to the folding frame 1 by stable connection methods such as welding and bolt connection, so as to ensure that the device will not loosen or deform during use and lay a foundation for the normal operation of the whole structure.

[0047] Preferably, the first rotating rod 30 is rotatably arranged in the first connecting block 29, which enables the first rotating rod 30 to rotate relative to the connecting point of the first rotating rod 30 and the first connecting block 29, and the first rotating rod 30 is selected in terms of size, shape and material to withstand the force and ensure the stability of rotation, and in the embodiment, a metal rod with strength and toughness is adopted.

[0049] Preferably, the second rotating rod 32 is rotatably arranged in the second connecting block 31, and the first rotating rod 30 and the second rotating rod 32 are rotatably arranged, and the double-rotating connection relationship constitutes a linkage structure with a flexible angle, and the rotation of the second rotating rod 32 in the second connecting block 31 and the relative rotation between the first rotating rod 30 and the second rotating rod 32 enable the bearing frame 16 to be adjusted relative to the folding frame 1 to adapt to different use requirements, such as adjusting the inclination angle of the photovoltaic panel according to the change of the light direction.

[0051] Preferably, the air cylinder 34 is rotatably arranged in the third connecting block 33, and the air cylinder 34 is rotatably arranged with the first rotating rod 30 and the second rotating rod 32, the air cylinder 34 serves as a power driving component in the entire structure, can provide a linear reciprocating force, and can convert the linear motion into rotary motion through the rotary connection with the rotating rod, thereby actively adjusting the angle of the bearing frame 16, and the air cylinder 34 has a solid structure, and the piston, cylinder and other components inside the air cylinder 34 can output a pushing force or a pulling force, and the angle of the bearing frame 16 and the photovoltaic panel mounted thereon can be adjusted by controlling the extension and retraction of the air cylinder 34.

[0052] In addition, referring to Figure 2 In the embodiment, the folding frame 1 includes an adjusting rod 35, a plurality of positioning holes 36, a positioning pin 37 and a mounting plate 38.

[0053] In the above embodiment, the adjusting rod 35 is slidingly arranged in the folding frame 1, which enables the adjusting rod 35 to linearly move relative to the folding frame 1 to change the overall structure or size of the folding frame 1 and other related parameters. The adjusting rod 35 is made of a material with high strength and rigidity, such as a metal pipe or profile, to ensure that it will not be easily deformed during sliding. The outer dimensions of the adjusting rod 35 are adapted to the accommodating space in the folding frame 1 to ensure that it can slide therein without excessive shaking that affects the structural stability.

[0054] Preferably, each positioning hole 36 is arranged on the adjusting rod 35 and the folding frame 1, and the positioning pin 37 is detachably arranged in one of the positioning holes 36. When the adjusting rod 35 is slidingly arranged at a suitable position, the positioning pin 37 is detachably arranged in one of the positioning holes 36 to fix the position of the adjusting rod 35. The positioning pin 37 is made of metal and is usually tightly fitted with the positioning hole 36. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the adjusting rod 35, the positioning pin 37 can be easily pulled out for operation. After the operation is completed, the positioning pin 37 is inserted into the corresponding positioning hole 36 to fix it. This provides a reliable locking mechanism for the adjustability of the folding frame 1.

[0055] Preferably, the mounting plate 38 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the adjusting rod 35. It serves as an interface component for connecting other components or external support structures. The mounting plate 38 has sufficient strength to bear various forces transmitted from above, such as being connected to the adjusting rod 35 by welding, bolt connection or other firm methods. In this embodiment, welding is used, and the surface of the mounting plate 38 is designed with corresponding mounting holes to facilitate connection with external components such as support bases, fixed bases and other external components.

[0056] Finally, referring to Figure 6 In this embodiment, the clamping assembly 19 further includes a fixed plate 39 and a rubber sheet 40.

[0057] In the above embodiment, each fixed plate 39 is rotatably arranged on the side surface of the corresponding fixed jaw 21. This rotatable arrangement of the fixed plate 39 relative to the fixed jaw 21 enables the fixed plate 39 to rotate adaptively with the action of the fixed jaw 21 and the shape of the edge of the photovoltaic panel during the clamping process of the photovoltaic panel. This further optimizes the contact mode with the photovoltaic panel and improves the stability and adhesion of the clamping. The fixed plate 39 is made of a material with strength and toughness to ensure that it will not be easily damaged during repeated use.

[0058] Preferably, the rubber sheet 40 is fixedly arranged on the fixed plate 39, and the rubber sheet 40 is a component directly in contact with the photovoltaic panel. The rubber sheet 40 has the characteristics of elasticity, flexibility, and large friction coefficient. When the photovoltaic panel is clamped, the rubber sheet 40 can be attached to the surface of the photovoltaic panel. The rubber sheet 40 can better adapt to the shape change of the edge of the photovoltaic panel by its own elastic deformation, fill the possible small gap, and thus increase the friction between the rubber sheet 40 and the photovoltaic panel, further enhance the clamping effect, prevent the photovoltaic panel from loosening or shifting when subjected to external force, and at the same time, the rubber sheet 40 can also play a buffering role to avoid scratching or damage caused by the direct contact between the rigid components such as the fixed jaw 21 and the photovoltaic panel. The rubber sheet 40 protects the photovoltaic panel and prolongs the service life of the photovoltaic panel, so that the photovoltaic panel can maintain good performance and appearance during the entire service life.

[0059] Working principle:

[0060] The adjustable photovoltaic panel mounting bracket first adjusts the structure of the folding frame 1 according to the actual installation site and requirements. The operator slides the adjusting rod 35 in the folding frame 1 to the appropriate position, aligns the positioning hole 36, inserts the positioning pin 37 into one of the positioning holes 36, fixes the position of the adjusting rod 35, and installs the mounting plate 38 for connection with the external support structure (such as a bracket base or a fixed base). The mounting plate 38 is connected to the external support structure by welding or bolt connection to ensure stable installation of the folding frame 1.

[0061] The operation clamping assembly 19 clamps the photovoltaic panel. The rotating handle 26 is rotated to drive the second bevel gear 27 connected thereto to rotate. Since the first bevel gear 25 is engaged with the second bevel gear 27, the first bevel gear 25 drives the bidirectional lead screw 23 to rotate. The two segments of the bidirectional lead screw 23 with different rotation directions are matched with the horizontal plate 22 to make the horizontal plate 22 move in opposite directions on the lead screw, thereby driving the fixed jaw 21 to clamp the photovoltaic panel. The fixed jaw 21 is cross-shaped and has an arc at the end in contact with the photovoltaic panel, which can better fit the edge of the photovoltaic panel. The horizontal plate 22 is rotatably connected to the side surface of the fixed jaw 21 to ensure smooth clamping action. After clamping, the fixed nut 28 is tightened to prevent the rotating handle 26 from being accidentally rotated to change the clamping state.

[0062] The light sensor 13 continuously monitors the light intensity and direction information. When the light direction or intensity changes and the angle of the photovoltaic panel needs to be adjusted, the gas cylinder 34 is manually operated to extend and retract. Since the gas cylinder 34 is rotatably connected to the first rotating rod 30 and the second rotating rod 32, and the first rotating rod 30 is rotatably connected to the first connecting block 29 fixed on the top of the folding frame 1, and the second rotating rod 32 is rotatably connected to the second connecting block 31 fixed on the bottom of the bearing frame 16, through the series of rotating connection relationships, the linear motion of the gas cylinder 34 is converted into the angle adjustment of the bearing frame 16 relative to the folding frame 1, so that the photovoltaic panel is directed to the best direction of the light, and the photovoltaic power generation efficiency is improved.

[0063] When the center of gravity needs to be adjusted, the operator pulls the slide plate 3, which slides in the slide 2. Due to the limiting effect of the slide 2 on the slide plate 3, the slide plate 3 can only move linearly along the direction of the slide 2. The movement of the slide plate 3 drives the second rack 9 fixed on its side to move, and the movement of the second rack 9 drives the second gear 12 engaged with it to rotate. Since the first gear 11 is engaged with the second gear 12, and the diameter of the first gear 11 is 2.5 times larger than that of the second gear 12, according to the principle of gear transmission, the rotation of the second gear 12 drives the first gear 11 to rotate at a corresponding speed ratio. The rotation of the first gear 11 drives the first rack 8 engaged with it to move, and the movement of the first rack 8 drives the connecting rod 6 to move. Since the connecting rod 6 is arranged at the bottom of the slide block 5 through threads, this connection mode ensures stable connection while allowing the connecting rod 6 to have fine adjustment ability relative to the slide block 5. The movement of the connecting rod 6 drives the gravity block 7 detachably arranged at the bottom of the connecting rod 6 to move, thereby completing the adjustment of the center of gravity. By changing the position of the gravity block 7, the moment generated by gravity is used to change the balance state of the device, so that the entire device can adapt to different installation environments or changes in lighting conditions.
