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.

This is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, the terms describing the positional relationship in the drawings are only used for illustrative purposes and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0017] The implementation of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0018] In this embodiment: Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention is provided.

[0019] The tilt-adjustable photovoltaic support of this embodiment includes: The chassis 1 has an annular guide rail on its top; the turntable 2 is slidably mounted on the annular guide rail. Rolling balls 11 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the annular guide rail of the chassis 1. An annular chute is provided below the turntable 2 to accommodate and mount the rolling balls 11, thereby enabling the turntable 2 to rotate horizontally relative to the chassis 1, so that the photovoltaic panel 8 can always face the sunlight side, and a sunken storage area is formed inside the turntable 2 for storing the photovoltaic frame 7; Among them, in order to enable the photovoltaic panel 8 to always face the sunlight side, it is necessary to cooperate with the solar tracking control system to drive the turntable 2. The turntable 2 is driven by an independent rotation drive mechanism (such as a motor-driven gear / gear ring or friction wheel mechanism, not shown in the figure) and rotates around the annular guide rail under the instruction of the solar tracking control system. The solar tracking control system drive is an existing technology well known in the art and will not be elaborated in this solution.

[0020] A plurality of guide plates 3 are connected in parallel to the inner wall of the turntable 2; Two sets of independently controlled electric telescopic rods 9 have telescopic parts installed on the guide plate 3. The end of the main body of the electric telescopic rod 9 is hinged with a photovoltaic frame 7. The photovoltaic frame 7 is used to carry the photovoltaic panel 8. By controlling the extension and retraction of the two sets of electric telescopic rods 9 respectively, the height of both sides of the photovoltaic frame 7 can be adjusted independently, thereby completing the unilateral tilt angle adjustment or the overall synchronous lifting operation of the photovoltaic panel 8.

[0021] Among them, the electric telescopic rod 9 can drive the photovoltaic frame 7 to descend into the storage area of the turntable 2, and the photovoltaic panel 8 is pressed toward the chassis 1 through the cross wind above the turntable 2, and an air duct 22 is opened on the side wall of the turntable 2. The cross wind increases the wind speed in the area below the photovoltaic panel 8 through the air duct 22, and forms a pneumatic lock on the photovoltaic panel 8 based on the Bernoulli effect.

[0022] The pneumatic locking is a highly efficient pneumatic locking mechanism formed by the downward pressure of the wind guide surface 21, the Bernoulli negative pressure suction generated by the air duct 22, and the acceleration of the airflow caused by the narrow gap between the photovoltaic panel 8 and the chassis 1 in the storage state, which firmly stabilizes the photovoltaic panel 8 in the storage position under strong crosswinds.

[0023] Reference Figure 5-Figure 6 As shown, both ends of the air induced channel 22 pass through the inside and outside of the turntable 2, and the width of the end located outside the turntable 2 is greater than the width of the end located inside the turntable 2. The large inlet width can reduce the initial resistance of the crosswind airflow and guide more airflow into the air induced channel 22. The small outlet width can force the airflow to accelerate, maximize the static pressure drop, and generate Bernoulli negative pressure through gradual acceleration. The generated static pressure difference (negative pressure) is used to form a downward aerodynamic suction (downward pull) on the photovoltaic panel 8, thereby converting the crosswind energy with destructive potential into a protective aerodynamic force to stabilize the photovoltaic panel 8.

[0024] A wind guide surface 21 is provided on the top of the turntable 2, and the wind guide surface 21 is inclined toward the lower middle part of the turntable 2, so that the cross wind passing through the top of the turntable 2 will be guided by the inclined wind guide surface 21 and partially act obliquely downward on the top of the photovoltaic panel 8, generating a downward pressure on the photovoltaic panel 8, which can also effectively avoid the risk of the photovoltaic panel 8 being lifted up.

[0025] Furthermore, limit blocks 31 are symmetrically distributed on several of the guide plates 3, and a slider 4 is slidably installed on the guide plate 3 on the opposite side of the two limit blocks 31, and several sliders 4 are provided with connecting rods 5 arranged perpendicular to the guide plate 3; a diagonal support frame 6 is connected to the rotating shaft between the connecting rod 5 and the photovoltaic frame 7, and the guide plate 3 is connected to the telescopic part of the electric telescopic rod 9 through the connecting rod 5, and an angle is formed between the electric telescopic rod 9 and the diagonal support frame 6. During the extension and retraction of the electric telescopic rod 9, its telescopic part drives the connecting rod 5, thereby driving the slider 4 to slide on the guide plate 3, and the two limit blocks 31 on the guide plate 3 are used to prevent the slider 4 (i.e., the lower end of the diagonal support frame 6) from excessive movement beyond the design range.

[0026] The slider 4 is provided with a roller 41 that slides above the guide plate 3 , thereby improving the smoothness when adjusting the tilt angle or height of the photovoltaic panel 8 .

[0027] It is worth noting that, referring to Figure 3 As shown, the guide plate 3 has guide grooves 32 formed on both ends thereof, each housing a guide rod 33. The slider 4 is also provided with a connecting block 42 that fits over the guide rod 33. A buffer spring 34 is also fitted around the guide rod 33. The two ends of the buffer spring 34 act between one side of the connecting block 42 and the inner wall of the guide groove 32, respectively. During normal use (non-stowed), the buffer spring 34 allows the slider 4 (and the photovoltaic panel 8 connected thereto) to undergo a small elastic displacement when subjected to wind loads, absorbing energy and thus providing a buffering effect. When the photovoltaic panel 8 is stowed and sunk within the turntable 2, the buffer spring 34 is pre-compressed. At this point, whether the crosswind downward force directed by the wind guide surface 21 or the negative pressure suction generated by the air induction channel 22 acts on the photovoltaic panel 8, the compressed buffer springs 34 on both sides provide additional elastic support and cushioning, effectively absorbing impact energy and protecting the photovoltaic panel 8 and related mechanisms from damage caused by the transient loads of strong winds.

[0028] Further, in Figure 2In the figure, both sides of the photovoltaic frame 7 are provided with notches 71 corresponding to the telescopic parts of the diagonal support frame 6 and the electric telescopic rod 9. When the photovoltaic frame 7 sinks into the storage area of the turntable 2, the diagonal support frame 6 and the electric telescopic rod 9 are in an approximately horizontal horizontal state. At this time, the notch 71 provides an accommodation space, so that the diagonal support frame 6 and the electric telescopic rod 9 can be smoothly folded to a horizontal position, while allowing the photovoltaic panel 8 to be as close to the chassis 1 as possible, further reducing the distance between the photovoltaic panel 8 and the chassis 1, and increasing the airflow velocity under the photovoltaic panel 8.

[0029] It is worth noting that when the photovoltaic panel 8 is stabilized in the sunken storage area of the turntable 2, the chassis 1 has a magnetic locking component that can absorb and lock the photovoltaic frame 7 to maintain its support state and cooperate with the pneumatic locking mechanism to resist wind loads.

[0030] The tilt-adjustable photovoltaic support disclosed in the present invention utilizes a chassis 1 with an annular guide rail and a ball 11 to support a turntable 2 for horizontal rotation (in conjunction with a tracking system). A connecting rod 5 connected to a slider 4 on a guide plate 3 drives two sets of independent electric telescopic rods 9 to extend and retract, driving a diagonal support frame 6 to adjust the pitch angle or overall elevation of a photovoltaic frame 7 (carrying photovoltaic panels 8). When strong crosswinds occur, the electric telescopic rod 9 lowers the photovoltaic panel 8 to the storage area inside the turntable 2. At this time, the wind guide surface 21 on the top of the turntable 2 guides the crosswind downward and applies pressure. At the same time, the side wall tapered air channel 22 uses the Bernoulli effect to generate negative pressure suction under the photovoltaic panel 8. Combined with the narrow gap formed in the low position of the storage state, they synergistically form a pneumatic lock to prevent it from being lifted. During this process, the limit block 31 on the guide plate 3 constrains the travel of the slider 4, the roller 41 of the slider 4 ensures smooth adjustment, the guide rod 33 and the buffer spring 34 buffer wind vibration in the normal state and absorb strong wind impact in the stored pre-compressed state; At the same time, the notch 71 of the photovoltaic frame 7 ensures that the mechanism is folded to a horizontal position and lowered in height, thereby enhancing the aerodynamic effect and converting destructive crosswinds into downforce and negative pressure suction through the wind guide surface 21 and the wind induction channel 22. Combined with multiple mechanical and buffering protections, it significantly improves safety and reliability under extreme wind conditions.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
