Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the application field of a suspension cable photovoltaic panel support, in particular to a high-clearance flexible support. Background Art
[0002] There are two types of mounting brackets for photovoltaic panels: traditional fixed brackets and flexible brackets. Traditional fixed mounting brackets will lead to a decrease in the comprehensive utilization rate of land and prevent the land from playing a greater role. Therefore, in order to improve land utilization, researchers have proposed a new installation method, moving photovoltaic panels from the ground to high altitudes, forming a high-clearance photovoltaic array.
[0003] The flexible photovoltaic bracket adopts the method of building a scaffolding. Steel cables are installed on the trusses used for construction. The photovoltaic panels are installed on the steel cables by using the principle of prestress, just like hanging clothes with ropes. Then, multiple groups of photovoltaic modules are connected in series into a whole through a four-cornered pyramid structure, which improves the wind resistance of the photovoltaic modules, ensures the stability of the flexible photovoltaic bracket and achieves the effect of common wind resistance.
[0004] Flexible photovoltaic brackets are a new type of photovoltaic bracket installation method, suitable for areas with strong winds and scarce land resources. However, it is more troublesome to install photovoltaic panels on flexible photovoltaic brackets. The steel ropes of flexible photovoltaic brackets are installed higher, and a worker is required to climb onto the steel ropes, and then use ropes to lift the photovoltaic panels onto the steel ropes, and then use fixed components to connect the steel ropes and photovoltaic panels. As the photovoltaic panels are laid, the workers above the steel ropes need to move slowly. High-altitude operations themselves are dangerous. The slow movement of workers is not only dangerous, but also slows down the installation process. Summary of the invention

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the upper fixing seat and the lower fixing seat are movably mounted by arranging a plurality of groups of second bolts, and springs are sleeved on the outside of the plurality of groups of second bolts.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the upper fixing seat and the lower fixing seat are installed by setting a second bolt and a spring. When the connecting mechanism is initially installed, it is necessary to ensure that the fixing block in the lower fixing seat does not squeeze the steel cable, and then the reset action of the spring can make the lower fixing seat move away from the upper fixing seat, so that the fixing block does not contact the steel cable. When the connecting mechanism is locked, the second bolt is further tightened, and the fixing block and the pulley can clamp the steel cable.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that limiting blocks are provided on both sides of the fixing block, and limiting grooves matching the limiting blocks are provided on the inner side of the lower fixing seat.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, by arranging the limit blocks on both sides of the fixed block, a limit function can be achieved, and then when the threaded rod is rotated, the fixed block can be pushed to rise in the lower fixed seat.
[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the top of the fixing block is provided with strip-shaped serrations for increasing friction.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting adjustment serrations for increasing friction on the top of the fixed block, the movement of the connecting mechanism can be restricted when the fixed block and the pulley clamp the steel cable, thereby achieving the purpose of locking the photovoltaic panel.
[0016] The present invention is further configured such that two adjacent groups of photovoltaic panels are connected in series by setting a second connecting component and a connecting seat, the second connecting component includes a second connecting rod, and one end of the second connecting rod is provided with a third annular hook movably mounted on the first annular hook, and the other end of the second connecting rod is fixedly connected to the connecting seat by setting a fourth bolt.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution and providing a second connecting assembly and a connecting seat, a quadrangular pyramid structure can be formed, and multiple groups of photovoltaic panels can be connected in series to improve the wind resistance of the photovoltaic panels.
[0018] The present invention is further configured such that the photovoltaic panel on the edge is connected to the first column and the second column by setting a first connecting component, the first connecting component includes a first connecting rod, and one end of the first connecting rod is provided with a second annular hook movably mounted on the first annular hook, and the other end of the first connecting rod is fixedly connected to the first column and the second column by setting a third bolt.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0034] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention based on its overall structure.

The threaded rod 507 is threadedly connected to the lower fixed seat 505, and a first annular hook 508 is arranged at the bottom of the threaded rod 507. By setting a connecting mechanism 5, the photovoltaic panel 4 can slide on the top of the steel cable 3, so that the staff can climb onto the installation column at one end of the steel cable 3, and then use the connecting mechanism 5 to install multiple photovoltaic panels 4 on the steel cable 3 in turn, and use each group of photovoltaic panels 4 to push the previous group of photovoltaic panels 4 to move on the steel cable 3, so that the staff does not need to move slowly on the steel cable 3, which improves the installation efficiency and reduces the danger during installation.
[0036] See also Figure 4 The upper fixing seat 501 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the photovoltaic panel 4 by setting a first bolt 502, and connecting mechanisms 5 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the photovoltaic panel 4. By setting connecting mechanisms 5 at the four corners of the bottom of the photovoltaic panel 4, not only can the photovoltaic panel 4 slide on the steel cable 3, but also the stability of the photovoltaic panel 4 when sliding on the steel cable 3 can be improved.
[0037] See also Figure 5 The upper fixing seat 501 and the lower fixing seat 505 are movably installed by setting multiple groups of second bolts 504, and the outsides of the multiple groups of second bolts 504 are all sleeved with springs 510. The upper fixing seat 501 and the lower fixing seat 505 are installed by setting the second bolts 504 and the springs 510. When the connecting mechanism 5 is initially installed, it is necessary to ensure that the fixing block 506 in the lower fixing seat 505 does not squeeze the steel cable 3, and then the reset effect of the spring 510 can make the lower fixing seat 505 away from the upper fixing seat 501, so that the fixing block 506 does not contact the steel cable 3.

By setting the second connecting component 7 and the connecting seat 8, a four-cornered pyramid structure can be formed, and multiple groups of photovoltaic panels 4 are connected in series to improve the wind resistance of the photovoltaic panels 4.
[0041] See also Figure 4 and Figure 8 The edge photovoltaic panel 4 and the first column 1 and the second column 2 are connected by setting a first connecting component 6, the first connecting component 6 includes a first connecting rod 601, and one end of the first connecting rod 601 is provided with a second annular hook 602 movably installed with the first annular hook 508, and the other end of the first connecting rod 601 is fixedly connected to the first column 1 and the second column 2 by setting a third bolt 603. By setting the first connecting component 6, the two ends of the photovoltaic panel 4 connected in series can be fixed on the first column 1 and the second column 2.
[0042] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when the staff needs to use a flexible bracket to build a photovoltaic array, first pre-embed and install the first column 1, the second column 2, and the steel cable 3, and then install the part of the connecting mechanism 5 that needs preliminary adjustment of the photovoltaic panel 4 on the ground.
[0043] First, the upper fixing seat 501 is installed at the four corners of the bottom of each photovoltaic panel 4 through the first bolts 502, and then the staff overlaps the group of photovoltaic panels 4 with the upper fixing seat 501 installed on the top of the two groups of steel cables 3. Then the staff uses escalators and other tools to climb to the bottom of the photovoltaic panels 4 on the steel cables 3, and the outer sleeve of each group of second bolts 504 is provided with a spring 510. The upper and lower fixing seats 505 are installed at the bottom of each group of upper fixing seats 501 using the second bolts 504, and so on. Each time a group of photovoltaic panels 4 is installed, the next group of photovoltaic panels 4 needs to be used to push the previous group of photovoltaic panels 4 to slide on the steel cables 3. When the tops of the two groups of steel cables 3 are covered with photovoltaic panels 4, the staff goes to the tops of the next two groups of steel cables 3 to lay photovoltaic panels 4.
[0044] At the same time, another staff member can use the escalator to go under the laid photovoltaic panels 4 to fasten the photovoltaic panels 4. A second connecting component 7 is movably installed at the bottom of each group of connecting mechanisms 5. The staff member rotates the second connecting component 7, so that the third annular hook 702 at one end of the second connecting component 7 drives the first annular hook 508 to rotate, so that the first annular hook 508 drives the threaded rod 507 to rotate, and the threaded rod 507 is threadedly connected to the lower fixed seat 505, so that the threaded rod 507 pushes the fixed block 506 to rise, and the limit block 509 on the side of the fixed block 506 slides in the limit groove, and finally the fixed block 506 and the pulley 503 can press the steel cable 3, and the staff member proceeds Tighten the second bolt 504 in one step, so that the photovoltaic panel 4 can be fixed on the steel cable 3 through the connecting mechanism 5. Next, the staff will connect the four groups of second connecting components 7 at the bottom of the two adjacent groups of photovoltaic panels 4 together using the connecting seat 8. Specifically, the ends of the four groups of second connecting components 7 are fixedly connected to the connecting seat 8 using the fourth bolt 703 to form a four-corner pyramid structure, and the connecting mechanism 5 at the bottom of the photovoltaic panels 4 at both ends is movably installed with the first connecting component 6. According to the above method, it is also necessary to rotate the first connecting component 6 to lock the connecting mechanism 5 connected thereto, and the other end of the first connecting rod 601 is fixedly connected to the first column 1 or the second column 2 through the third bolt 603.
[0045] According to the above method, the installation of the photovoltaic panel 4 is mainly carried out in two steps. One is to use the connecting mechanism 5 to initially lay the photovoltaic panel 4 on the top of the steel cable 3, and the other is to lock and connect the laid photovoltaic panel 4 in series, and then lay it fully between the flexible cables in the same way.
