[0002] Photovoltaics, as a clean energy technology that uses solar energy to generate electricity, has been widely used and developed around the world in recent years. As an important component of the photovoltaic system, photovoltaic brackets are used to support and fix photovoltaic modules to ensure that they can stably and efficiently receive sunlight and convert it into electrical energy. In the photovoltaic installation industry, the installation flexibility and efficiency of photovoltaic brackets are directly related to the construction cost and operation and maintenance convenience of the entire photovoltaic system.

[0003] Photovoltaic mounting brackets play an important role in photovoltaic systems. As core components, their installation methods and flexibility have a decisive impact on the overall installation efficiency and subsequent maintenance of photovoltaic systems. Especially in the core link of photovoltaic bracket installation, traditional photovoltaic brackets are not flexible enough during installation, gradually exposing a series of obvious limitations and technical problems.

[0004] Traditional photovoltaic brackets face prominent problems such as inconvenient operation, poor adaptability and low installation efficiency during the installation process. Due to the lack of sufficient flexibility in the design of the bracket, a large number of adjustments and customizations are required according to different installation environments and angles during the installation process, which not only increases the difficulty of the installers' work, but also greatly reduces the installation efficiency. At the same time, traditional brackets also have difficulties in adapting to photovoltaic modules of different specifications and sizes, further limiting their scope of application and installation flexibility. More seriously, the lack of flexibility of traditional photovoltaic brackets may also lead to increased errors during the installation process, affecting the overall stability and safety of the photovoltaic system. These problems not only significantly increase the installation cost and time, but also may bring potential risks to the power generation efficiency and service life of the photovoltaic system. Therefore, in view of the many deficiencies in the existing technology, we urgently need a photovoltaic mounting bracket with flexible installation to solve these problems. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a photovoltaic mounting bracket that can be installed flexibly, which solves the problem that the design of the bracket in the prior art lacks sufficient flexibility, so that a large number of adjustments and customizations need to be made according to different installation environments and angles during the installation process, which not only increases the difficulty of the installers' work, but also greatly reduces the installation efficiency.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] The cam is secured to the chassis and has two camshafts that are connected to the chassis, one of which is a first plate secured to the chassis and the other is a second plate secured to the chassis.

[0013] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0014] Through the cooperation of the driving motor and the bidirectional screw, the distance between the first support plate and the second support plate can be quickly adjusted. This design greatly improves the installation flexibility of the bracket, so that the bracket can adapt to the installation requirements of photovoltaic panels of different widths and specifications without a lot of adjustment and customization, which reduces the difficulty of the installation workers and improves the installation efficiency. By moving the inner rod up and down in the outer tube, the flexible adjustment of the installation inclination angle of the photovoltaic panel can be achieved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0023] Embodiment 1

[0024] Reference Figure 1-5 , including a frame body 1, a first support plate 6 is slidably connected to one side of the inner side of the frame body 1, and a second support plate 7 is slidably connected to the other side of the inner side of the frame body 1, a side frame 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the frame body 1, and a driving motor 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the side frame 2 by bolts, and a bidirectional screw 3 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the side frame 2, one end of the bidirectional screw 3 passes through the side wall of the side frame 2 and is transmission-connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 21, both ends of the bidirectional screw 3 are screwed with nut seats 4 by threaded engagement, and one side of the two nut seats 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the first support plate 6 and the second support plate 7 respectively, an inclined mounting plate 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the first support plate 6, and an adjusting plate 8 is provided on the top of the second support plate 7, a fixing plate 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the second support plate 7, and both sides of the top of the fixing plate 14 are fixedly connected to an outer tube 10, and the inner sides of the two outer tubes 10 are provided with inner rods 12, wherein the top ends of the two inner rods 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjusting plate 8.

[0025] During the photovoltaic installation process, first, we need to adjust the width of the bracket according to the width of the photovoltaic panel to be installed. This step is achieved by operating the drive motor 21 fixedly connected to the side frame 2. After the drive motor 21 is started, its output shaft is connected to one end of the bidirectional screw 3, so that the bidirectional screw 3 starts to rotate inside the side frame 2. Both ends of the bidirectional screw 3 are connected with nut seats 4 through threaded engagement, and the two nut seats 4 are respectively fixedly connected to one side of the first support plate 6 and the second support plate 7. Therefore, when the bidirectional screw 3 rotates, the two nut seats 4 will move in opposite directions or towards each other along the thread direction of the bidirectional screw 3 at the same time, thereby driving the first support plate 6 and the second support plate 7 to slide on the inner side of the frame 1 to adjust the distance between the two. Next, we need to adjust the installation inclination angle of the photovoltaic panel. This adjustment is achieved by the adjustment plate 8 on the top of the second support plate 7. The bottom of the adjustment plate 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the two inner rods 12, and the two inner rods 12 are respectively arranged on the inner side of the two outer tubes 10. The outer tube 10 is fixed to the fixing plate 14 on one side of the second support plate 7. By moving the inner rod 12 up and down in the outer tube 10, we can adjust the height of the adjustment plate 8, thereby changing the installation tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel. This design enables the photovoltaic bracket to adapt to the requirements of different geographical locations and seasonal changes for the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel. Finally, when the width and tilt angle of the bracket are adjusted in place, we can fix the photovoltaic panel to the mounting plate 9 and the adjustment plate 8 with bolts. The mounting plate 9 is fixed at an angle on the top of the first support plate 6, providing a stable support surface for the photovoltaic panel. The height of the adjustment plate 8 can be adjusted as needed to ensure that the photovoltaic panel can receive sunlight at the optimal tilt angle.

[0026] Embodiment 2

[0027] Reference Figure 1-5 Both sides of the first support plate 6 and both sides of the second support plate 7 are fixedly connected with sliders 16 , and the four sliders 16 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the frame 1 through the sliding grooves 17 .

[0028] Through the matching arrangement of the slider 16 and the slide groove 17, both sides of the first support plate 6 and both sides of the second support plate 7 are fixedly connected with the slider 16, and the four sliders 16 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the frame 1 through the slide groove 17. This design makes the first support plate 6 and the second support plate 7 slide more steadily and smoothly on the inner side of the frame 1. When the drive motor 21 is started and the bidirectional screw 3 rotates, the nut seat 4 drives the first support plate 6 and the second support plate 7 to move, and the slider 16 slides in the slide groove 17, playing a guiding and supporting role. The effect of enhancing the stability of the bracket structure, reducing friction and wear during sliding, and improving the service life of the bracket is achieved.

[0029] Embodiment 3

[0030] Reference Figure 1-5 A fixed frame 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the frame body 1, and a sliding rod 18 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixed frame 20, and both ends of the sliding rod 18 are sleeved with sliding sleeves 19, and one side of two of the four sliding blocks 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the two sliding sleeves 19 respectively.

[0031] Through the matching arrangement of the slide bar 18 and the slide sleeve 19, one side of the frame 1 is fixedly connected with the fixed frame 20, and the inner side of the fixed frame 20 is fixedly connected with the slide bar 18, and both ends of the slide bar 18 are sleeved with the slide sleeves 19, and one side of two of the four sliders 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the two slide sleeves 19 respectively. This design further enhances the stability of the first support plate 6 and the second support plate 7 during the sliding process. When the first support plate 6 and the second support plate 7 move, the slider 16 fixedly connected to them drives the slide sleeve 19 to slide on the slide bar 18, which plays an additional supporting and positioning role. It achieves the effect of improving the load-bearing capacity of the bracket and ensuring the safety and stability of the photovoltaic panel during the installation process.

[0032] Embodiment 4

[0033] Reference Figure 1-5 One side of two of the four sliders 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the two nut seats 4 respectively, one end of the bidirectional screw 3 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the side frame 2 through the rotating shaft, and the other end of the bidirectional screw 3 passes through the side wall of the side frame 2 through the bearing sleeve.

[0034] Through the direct connection between the slider 16 and the nut seat 4 and the rotational connection between the bidirectional screw 3 and the side frame 2, one side of two of the four sliders 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the two nut seats 4 respectively, one end of the bidirectional screw 3 is rotationally connected to the inner wall of the side frame 2 through the rotating shaft, and the other end of the bidirectional screw 3 passes through the side wall of the side frame 2 through the bearing sleeve. This design simplifies the structure of the bracket and improves the convenience of installation. When the drive motor 21 is started and the bidirectional screw 3 rotates, the slider 16 and the first support plate 6 and the second support plate 7 are directly driven to move through the nut seat 4 without the need for an additional transmission mechanism. The effect of reducing the number of parts of the bracket, reducing the difficulty and cost of installation, and improving the reliability and durability of the bracket is achieved.

[0035] Embodiment 5

[0036] Reference Figure 1-5 An insertion rod 11 is provided on one side of the two outer tubes 10, and a slot 13 for matching with the insertion rod 11 is provided on one side of the outer tube 10 and the inner rod 12, wherein the two inner rods 12 are provided with a plurality of slots 13.

[0037] Through the matching arrangement of the plug rod 11 and the slot 13, the plug rod 11 is provided on one side of the two outer tubes 10, and the slot 13 used to match the plug rod 11 is opened on one side of the outer tube 10 and the inner rod 12, wherein the two inner rods 12 are provided with a plurality of slots 13. This design makes the height adjustment of the adjustment plate 8 more flexible and reliable. When it is necessary to adjust the installation tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel, the relative position of the inner rod 12 and the outer tube 10 can be fixed by inserting the plug rod 11 into the slot 13 at different heights, thereby adjusting the height of the adjustment plate 8. The adaptability of the bracket is improved, the requirements for the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel in different geographical locations and seasonal changes are met, and it is ensured that the photovoltaic panel can always receive sunlight at the best tilt angle.

[0038] Embodiment 6

[0039] Reference Figure 1-5 A protective frame 5 is provided on the outer side of the driving motor 21 and is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the side frame 2 . The first support plate 6 and the second support plate 7 are fixedly connected via a plurality of folding belts 15 .

[0040] By setting the protective frame 5 and the folding belt 15, the outer side of the driving motor 21 is provided with a protective frame 5 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the side frame 2, and the first support plate 6 and the second support plate 7 are fixedly connected by a plurality of folding belts 15. This design enhances the protection and stability of the bracket. The protective frame 5 can protect the driving motor 21 from interference and damage from the external environment, while the folding belt 15 can keep the relative position between the first support plate 6 and the second support plate 7 stable when they move, and prevent the bracket structure from loosening or deformation due to distance changes. The overall protection performance of the bracket is improved, the safe operation of the driving motor 21 is ensured, and the stability and reliability of the bracket during movement are enhanced.

[0041] Bracket width adjustment:

[0042] In the initial state, the first support plate 6 and the second support plate 7 on the inner side of the frame 1 maintain a stable sliding connection through the cooperation of the slider 16 and the slide groove 17, and the sliding of the sleeve 19 on the slide rod 18. When the width of the bracket needs to be adjusted to adapt to the width of different photovoltaic panels, the drive motor 21 fixedly connected to the side frame 2 is started. The output shaft of the drive motor 21 is connected to one end of the bidirectional screw 3 through a rotating shaft transmission, so that the bidirectional screw 3 starts to rotate on the inner side of the side frame 2. Both ends of the bidirectional screw 3 are connected to nut seats 4 through threaded engagement, and the two nut seats 4 are fixedly connected to one side of the first support plate 6 and the second support plate 7 respectively. When the bidirectional screw 3 rotates, the two nut seats 4 move in opposite directions or toward each other along the thread direction of the bidirectional screw 3 at the same time, driving the first support plate 6 and the second support plate 7 to slide on the inner side of the frame 1, thereby adjusting the distance between the two.

[0043] Photovoltaic panel tilt angle adjustment:

[0044] An adjustment plate 8 is provided on the top of the second support plate 7, and the bottom of the adjustment plate 8 is fixedly connected to the top ends of the two inner rods 12. The inner rod 12 is arranged on the inner side of the outer tube 10, and the outer tube 10 is fixed on the fixing plate 14 on one side of the second support plate 7. When it is necessary to adjust the installation inclination angle of the photovoltaic panel, the height of the adjustment plate 8 is adjusted by moving the inner rod 12 up and down in the outer tube 10. A plurality of slots 13 (Example 5) are provided on the inner rod 12, and an insertion rod 11 is provided on one side of the outer tube 10. The relative positions of the inner rod 12 and the outer tube 10 are fixed by inserting the insertion rod 11 into the slots 13 of different heights, thereby adjusting the height of the adjustment plate 8.

[0045] Photovoltaic panel installation:

[0046] When the width and tilt angle of the bracket are adjusted to the right position, the photovoltaic panel is fixed to the inclined mounting plate 9 and the adjustment plate 8 by bolts. The mounting plate 9 is fixed on the top of the first support plate 6 to provide a stable support surface for the photovoltaic panel. The adjustment plate 8 adjusts the height as needed to ensure that the photovoltaic panel can receive sunlight at the best tilt angle. Enhanced structural stability: Through the coordinated setting of the slider 16 and the slide groove 17, the sliding sleeve 19 and the sliding rod 18, and the connection of the folding belt 15, the stability of the first support plate 6 and the second support plate 7 during the sliding process is enhanced, and the load-bearing capacity and service life of the bracket are improved.

[0047] Improved adjustment flexibility: The matching design of the bidirectional screw 3 and the nut seat 4 enables rapid adjustment of the bracket width; the matching setting of the plug rod 11 and the slot 13 makes the height adjustment of the adjustment plate 8 more flexible and reliable, meeting the requirements of the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel in different geographical locations and seasonal changes.

[0048] Improved installation convenience: by simplifying the bracket structure and reducing the number of parts, the difficulty and cost of installation are reduced; the provision of the protective frame 5 protects the drive motor 21 from interference and damage from the external environment, thereby improving the overall protection performance and reliability of the bracket.
