Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photovoltaic mounting brackets, and in particular to a photovoltaic component mounting bracket adaptable to multiple terrains. Background Art

[0002] As the global energy structure shifts towards renewable energy, photovoltaic power generation has become an important form of clean and renewable energy. Photovoltaic power generation mainly includes solar panels and mounting brackets. The mounting brackets are used to install the solar panels at the location of use. The solar panels absorb light energy and then convert it into electrical energy through other equipment.

[0003] When installing, the solar panels need to be adjusted to different angles according to the duration of sunshine and sea level so that they can absorb light energy in the most appropriate direction, which helps to improve the efficiency of power generation.

[0004] The existing photovoltaic module mounting bracket still has the following technical problems when in use, such as:

[0005] Existing photovoltaic module mounting brackets need to be installed in different terrains, such as hard soil, hard rock, and wet soft soil. When the photovoltaic module mounting bracket is installed in soft terrain such as wet soft soil, it is easy to cause the bracket to tilt due to uneven force, which in turn easily causes the angle of the solar panel to change, which is not conducive to ensuring that it is installed at the optimal angle to absorb sunlight, and thus is not conducive to improving power generation efficiency.

[0006] Although there are solar panels with automatic balancing in the prior art, they do not improve the efficiency of power generation. For example, publication number CN219697574U, published on September 15, 2023, discloses a photovoltaic bracket with automatic balancing. The bracket uses components such as sensors, signal transmitters, and cylinders to adjust the solar panels. However, the bracket consumes electrical energy during use, thus failing to improve power generation efficiency. Furthermore, the provision of components such as sensors, signal transmitters, and cylinders increases both manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0007] Therefore, a photovoltaic module mounting bracket that is adaptable to multiple terrains is needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a photovoltaic module mounting bracket that is adaptable to multiple terrains, so as to solve the problem raised in the above background technology that although the existing photovoltaic module mounting bracket can automatically adjust the position of the photovoltaic panel after it is tilted, it will increase energy consumption, and increase production costs and maintenance costs, which is not conducive to improving power generation efficiency.

[0009] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0010] The cam is connected to the top of the control panel via a support rod, and the upper end of the support rod is connected to the bottom of the control panel via a support rod. The upper end of the control panel is connected to the mounting plate via a pneumatic support mechanism. The upper surface of the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the top frame, and the upper end axis of the top frame is connected to the photovoltaic panel. The upper surface of the mounting plate is also provided with two protrusions, and a screw rod is connected to the bearing between the two protrusions, and a rocker is installed after the bearing at one end of the screw rod passes through one of the two protrusions. Two sliders are threadedly connected to the screw rod, and each slider is axially connected to the lower end of the corresponding support rod. The upper end axis of the support rod is connected to the lower surface of the photovoltaic panel. A balancing control mechanism is provided in the control panel, and the balancing control mechanism is connected to the pneumatic support mechanism.

[0011] Preferably, the screw rod is provided with two sections of threads which are symmetrical about a vertical line therein, and the rotation directions of the two sections of threads are opposite, so that when the screw rod rotates, the two sliders always move in opposite directions.

[0012] Preferably, the lower surface of the slider is slidably connected to the upper surface of the mounting plate, and the supporting rods connected to the two sliders are arranged in an eight-shaped shape.

[0013] Preferably, the pneumatic support mechanism includes a piston tube arranged on the upper surface of the control table, and the lower end of the piston rod seamlessly slidingly connected to it extends into the inner side of the upper end of the piston tube, and the upper end of the piston rod is connected to the upper surface of the mounting plate through a universal ball joint.

[0014] Preferably, the balance control mechanism includes a mounting frame installed inside the control console, and a cavity is installed on the mounting frame. The cavity is a tubular structure with a single opening, and the inner side of the opening of the cavity is seamlessly slidably connected with a piston disk. The side of the piston disk close to the cavity opening is connected to one end of a push-pull rod through a universal ball joint.

[0015] Preferably, the balance control mechanism also includes a shaft rod passing through the inner side and lower surface of the control platform, and the middle part of the shaft rod is connected to the control platform through a universal ball joint. The lower end of the shaft rod is provided with a weight ball coaxial with it, and the outer side of the upper end of the shaft rod is connected to the other end of the push-pull rod through a universal ball joint.

[0016] Preferably, there are four of each of the piston rod, piston tube, cavity tube and push-pull rod, and they are all symmetrically arranged about the axis of the shaft.

[0017] Preferably, the four piston tubes are respectively connected to the four lumens through two catheters 1 and two catheters 2.

[0018] Preferably, the lowest point of catheter one is higher than the lowest point of catheter two, and the lowest points of catheter one and catheter two are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the cavity, so as to facilitate the installation of catheter one and catheter two inside the control console.

[0019] Preferably, the cavity tube is connected to the piston tube opposite to it, and is used to adjust the balance of the control console.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: the photovoltaic module mounting bracket that is adaptable to various terrains does not require the use of power-consuming equipment, and can automatically adjust the position of the photovoltaic panel when the support frame tilts, thereby preventing the position of the photovoltaic panel from being affected by the tilt of the support frame, which would otherwise reduce the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel. In addition, the mounting bracket has a simple structure and low production and maintenance costs.

[0021] 1. When the control console is in a horizontal position, the positions of the piston disks in the four cavity tubes are the same relative to it. When the control console is not in a horizontal position, the shaft will be tilted relative to the control console due to the heavy ball. At this time, the push-pull rod will cause the piston disks in the four cavity tubes to be in different positions relative to it. At this time, gas will be delivered to or extracted from the corresponding piston tube, so that the position of the piston tube and the corresponding piston rod will change, which will help the installation panel gradually approach the horizontal position, thereby reducing the influence of the support frame tilt on the position of the photovoltaic panel, which will help to improve the efficiency of power generation.

[0022] 2. The balance control mechanism driven by the heavy ball can avoid the installation of power-consuming equipment such as sensors, which helps to reduce production costs. In addition, since the balance control mechanism driven by the heavy ball is not easily damaged, it helps to reduce maintenance costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0033] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only 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 ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] See also Figures 1-9 , the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0035] Embodiment 1: In order to solve the problem that the photovoltaic component mounting bracket in the past is easy to tilt in some terrains, which is not conducive to improving the power generation efficiency of the solar panel, the following technical solution is provided, specifically, a photovoltaic component mounting bracket adaptable to multiple terrains, including a support frame 1 and a support rod 18 installed thereon, the support frame 1 is connected to the lower surface of the control platform 4 through the support rod 18, and the upper surface of the control platform 4 is connected to the mounting plate 19 through a pneumatic support mechanism, the upper surface of the mounting plate 19 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the top frame 5, the upper end axis of the top frame 5 is connected to the photovoltaic panel 6, the upper surface of the mounting plate 19 is also provided with two protrusions, and a screw rod 7 is connected to the bearing between the two protrusions, and one end of the screw rod 7 is supported by one of the two protrusions and then a rocker is installed, two sliders 8 are threadedly connected to the screw rod 7, and each slider 8 is axially connected to the lower end of the corresponding support rod 9, the upper end axis of the support rod 9 is connected to the lower surface of the photovoltaic panel 6, a balancing control mechanism is provided in the control platform 4, and the balancing control mechanism is connected to the pneumatic support mechanism.

[0036] The screw rod 7 is provided with two sections of threads which are symmetrical about the vertical line, and the rotation directions of the two sections of threads are opposite, so that when the screw rod 7 rotates, the two sliders 8 always move in opposite directions. The lower surface of the slider 8 is slidably connected to the upper surface of the mounting plate 19, and the support rod 9 connected to the two sliders 8 is set in an eight-shaped shape. When in use, the screw rod 7 is driven to rotate by the rocker to make the two sliders 8 move toward or away from each other, thereby lifting or lowering one end of the photovoltaic panel 6. In conjunction with the top frame 5, the inclination angle of the photovoltaic panel 6 can be adjusted, which helps to adjust the photovoltaic panel 6 to a suitable position according to the sunshine conditions and altitude at different locations.

[0037] The pneumatic support mechanism includes a piston tube 3 arranged on the upper surface of the control console 4, and the lower end of the piston rod 2 seamlessly slidingly connected to it extends into the inner side of the upper end of the piston tube 3, and the upper end of the piston rod 2 is connected to the upper surface of the mounting plate 19 through a universal ball shaft.

[0038] The balancing and regulating mechanism includes a mounting frame 12 installed inside the regulating and controlling platform 4, and a cavity 13 is installed on the mounting frame 12. The cavity 13 is a tubular structure with a single opening, and the inner side of the opening of the cavity 13 is seamlessly slidably connected with a piston disk 16. The side of the piston disk 16 close to the opening of the cavity 13 is connected to one end of a push-pull rod 17 through a universal ball shaft. The balancing and regulating mechanism also includes a shaft 11 that passes through the inner side and lower surface of the regulating and controlling platform 4, and the middle part of the shaft 11 is connected to the regulating and controlling platform 4 through a universal ball shaft. The lower end of the shaft 11 is provided with a coaxial heavy ball 10, and the outer side of the upper end of the shaft 11 is connected to the other end of the push-pull rod 17 through a universal ball shaft. When in use, the support frame 1 is installed in a fixed position to fix the photovoltaic components thereon. Thereafter, if Due to terrain reasons, such as settlement, the support frame 1 may tilt, which will cause the control console 4 to tilt with it. During this process, since the heavy ball 10 will always be suspended vertically, the push-pull rod 17 at the corresponding position will drive the piston disk 16 to move in the corresponding cavity 13, so that the gas in the cavity 13 is squeezed into the corresponding piston tube 3 or the gas in the corresponding piston tube 3 is drawn into the cavity 13. The above process will cause the relative position of the piston tube 3 and the piston rod 2 to change, and then the mounting plate 19 can be gradually leveled, thereby reducing the problem of the support frame 1 tilting due to changes in terrain or the original inclined terrain, causing the photovoltaic components installed on the support frame 1 to be affected, thereby relatively improving the power generation efficiency.

[0039] Example 2: In order to solve the problem that the photovoltaic module mounting bracket is leveled by power-consuming equipment such as sensors in the past, which easily leads to increased production and maintenance costs, the following technical solution is provided. Specifically, there are four piston rods 2, piston tubes 3, cavity tubes 13 and push-pull rods 17, and they are all symmetrically arranged about the axis center of the shaft 11. The four piston tubes 3 are respectively connected to the four cavity tubes 13 through two catheters 14 and two catheters 2 15.

[0040] The lowest point of catheter 14 is higher than the lowest point of catheter 2 15, and the lowest points of catheter 14 and catheter 2 15 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the cavity 13, so that catheter 14 and catheter 2 15 can be installed inside the control console 4. The cavity 13 is connected with the piston tube 3 opposite to it, which is used to adjust the balance of the control console 4. During production, there is no need to install power-consuming equipment such as sensors, which helps to reduce production costs. In addition, since structures such as the heavy ball 10 are not easily damaged, the cost is reduced during maintenance, which helps to use the mounting bracket in conjunction with photovoltaic components outdoors for a long time.

[0041] The contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0042] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
