A flexible photovoltaic support system suitable for mountainous terrain

Abstract

This invention relates to the field of flexible photovoltaic (PV) support technology, and more particularly to a flexible PV support suitable for mountainous terrain. This application provides a flexible PV support suitable for mountainous terrain, comprising a support base, a support column, a lifting cylinder, a mounting bracket, a lifting assembly, a limiting assembly, a translation assembly, a stabilizing assembly, and a transmission assembly. Compared to traditional flexible PV supports, which suffer from difficulties in achieving flexible adjustment and stable support during use, this flexible PV support allows for adjustment of the lifting cylinder by adjusting the lifting assembly, followed by limiting by the limiting assembly. After the lifting cylinder rises, the stabilizing assembly enhances the stability of the support. Furthermore, adjusting the translation assembly drives the transmission assembly, which in turn drives the support bracket to rotate, thus achieving both flexible adjustment and stable support.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of flexible photovoltaic support technology, and in particular to a flexible photovoltaic support suitable for mountainous terrain. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic flexible brackets are special brackets designed for placing, installing, and fixing solar panels in solar power generation systems. They are characterized by being weld-free, drill-free, 100% adjustable, and 100% reusable. The photovoltaic bracket structure must be sturdy and reliable, and able to withstand external effects such as atmospheric erosion, wind loads, and other external effects.

[0003] In practical use, the existing solar panels have a small adjustment angle. Because it is not convenient to flexibly adjust the tilt angle of the solar panels, the solar panels absorb less sunlight and it is not convenient to make full use of solar resources. In addition, the photovoltaic support is set in a mountainous environment. Due to the uneven end face of the mountain, the support may tilt and fall. The overall usability is low and needs to be improved. This makes it difficult to achieve flexible adjustment and stable support.

[0004] Therefore, to address the aforementioned issues of inconvenience in achieving flexible adjustment and stable support, a flexible photovoltaic support system suitable for mountainous terrain can be designed. First, by adjusting the lifting component, the lifting cylinder can be adjusted in height, and then the limiting component can be used for resistance and limiting, thereby achieving the effect of height adjustment. After the lifting cylinder is adjusted and raised, the stabilizing component can provide auxiliary support around the support base, thereby improving the stability of the device. In addition, by adjusting the translation component, the transmission component can be adjusted and rotated, which in turn can drive the support bracket to adjust and rotate, thereby achieving the effect of angle adjustment, thus achieving the purpose of flexible adjustment and stable support.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0018] 1. During the use of flexible photovoltaic support, the lifting component can be adjusted to raise and lower the lifting cylinder, and the limiting component can be used to stop the movement, thereby achieving the effect of height adjustment. After the lifting cylinder is raised, the stabilizing component can provide auxiliary support around the support base, thereby improving the stability of the device.

[0019] 2. When the flexible photovoltaic support is in use and the height is adjusted, firstly, the limiting plate is rotated and adjusted via the mounting shaft. Then, by rotating the adjusting wheel, the adjusting gear is driven to rotate via the adjusting shaft. The adjusting gear, in turn, drives the support cylinder to rise and fall via the adjusting tooth plate, thus achieving the height adjustment effect. After the height adjustment is completed, the limiting plate is released. Based on the rebound force generated by the elastic deformation of the spiral spring, the spiral spring is driven by the mounting shaft to rotate and reset the limiting plate to below the adjusting gear, thereby limiting the adjustment gear.

[0020] 3. When the lifting support cylinder is adjusted and raised, the locking block immediately disengages from the locking hole. Furthermore, based on the rebound force generated by the elastic deformation of the return spring, the return spring can drive the guide slider to move through the guide slide rod for adjustment. The guide slider can then drive the stabilizing bracket to move for adjustment. Multiple sets of stabilizing brackets can provide auxiliary support around the support base, thereby improving the stability of the device.

[0021] 4. In addition, by adjusting the rotating wheel, the translation screw can be driven to rotate. The translation screw can then drive the translation gear plate to move through the translation slider. The translation gear plate can then drive the rotating shaft to rotate through the rotating gear. The rotating shaft can then drive the mounting bracket to rotate through the connecting block, thereby achieving the effect of angle adjustment. Attached Figure Description
