DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0026] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in various places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it constitute a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0027] Example 1 Reference Figures 1 to 6 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a tracking photovoltaic bracket, which can not only realize the stable adjustment of the installation height of the photovoltaic panel and adapt to installation brackets of different sizes, but also facilitate installation and disassembly; therefore, this device greatly improves the stability of the tracking photovoltaic bracket and reduces the difficulty of installation and disassembly for the staff.

[0028] Specifically, it includes an adjustment mechanism 1, a driving mechanism 2 rotatably connected to the top of the adjustment mechanism 1, a rotating mechanism 3 arranged on the driving mechanism 2, and a photovoltaic panel 4 fixedly arranged on the rotating mechanism 3; There are two sets of adjustment mechanisms 1, and the two sets of adjustment mechanisms 1 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the driving mechanism 2 and the rotating mechanism 3; The adjustment mechanism 1 includes a first bracket 11 , a second bracket 12 plugged into the top of the first bracket 11 , a lifting portion 13 disposed inside the second bracket 12 , and a third bracket 14 plugged into the top of the second bracket 12 .

[0029] Preferably, the third bracket 14 is plugged into the second bracket 12 and the second bracket 12 is plugged into the first bracket 11, and the three cooperate with each other, so that the device is more convenient to install and disassemble, and is also easy to transport, reducing the floor space.

[0030] Furthermore, the first bracket 11 includes a first rectangular slot 111 fixedly disposed on the periphery of the first bracket 11 , and a tooth portion 112 fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the first bracket 11 .

[0031] Furthermore, the interior of the first bracket 11 is configured as a hollow structure; four groups of teeth 112 are provided, and the four groups of teeth 112 are distributed on the inner wall of the first bracket 11 in a rectangular array.

[0032] Furthermore, the second bracket 12 includes two groups of sliding grooves 121 symmetrically distributed inside the second bracket 12, a second rectangular groove 122 fixedly arranged at the top of the first bracket 11, an annular groove 123 opened on the side of the second bracket 12, two groups of fixing seats 124 respectively fixed on both sides of the annular groove 123, and several groups of fixing holes 125 opened on the two groups of fixing seats 124.

[0033] Furthermore, the bottom end of the second bracket 12 cooperates with the first rectangular groove 111 , and the second bracket 12 is plugged into the first rectangular groove 111 ; the third bracket 14 is plugged into the second rectangular groove 122 .

[0034] Preferably, the structural design of the first rectangular groove 111 and the second rectangular groove 122 enhances the fastening of the device at the installation location.

[0035] Furthermore, the lifting part 13 includes a connecting column 131, a universal joint 132 fixedly arranged on the connecting column 131, a first connecting rod 133 movably connected to the universal joint 132, a tooth block 134 movably connected to the first connecting rod 133, a second connecting rod 135 movably connected to the tooth block 134, a spring 136 fixedly arranged on the connecting column 131, a moving column 137 fixedly connected to the other end of the spring 136, two groups of sliders 138 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the moving column 137, a limiting rod 139 fixedly connected to the moving column 137, and a limiting hole 1391 opened on the limiting rod 139.

[0036] Preferably, the limiting hole 1391 and the fixing hole 125 are connected by a pin to achieve the mutual fixation of the lifting part 13 and the second bracket 12. When the overall position of the lifting part 12 needs to be adjusted, the position of the lifting part 12 only needs to be moved to the position of the corresponding fixing hole 125, and then the pin is inserted into the limiting hole 1391 and the fixing hole 125 in turn.

[0037] Furthermore, twelve sets of universal joints 132 are provided, eight sets of first connecting rods 133 are provided, and four sets of second connecting rods 135 and gear blocks 134 are provided. Four sets of universal joints 132 are provided in a circular array at the bottom and top of the connecting column 131, and four sets of universal joints 132 are provided in a circular array at the bottom of the movable column 137. Among them, each set of universal joints 132 on the connecting column 131 is movably connected to a set of first connecting rods 133, each set of universal joints 132 on the movable column 137 is movably connected to a set of second connecting rods 135, and each set of gear blocks 134 is movably connected to two sets of first connecting rods 133 and one set of second connecting rods 135.

[0038] It should be noted that when the lifting portion 13 is free of force, the spring 136 is in a normal extended and retracted state, with both ends free of force. At this point, the four sets of tooth blocks 134 converge toward the center of the connecting column 131. When a force is applied to the movable column 137 toward the first bracket 11, the spring 136 is compressed, and the four sets of tooth blocks 134, under the action of the force, move toward the inner wall of the first bracket 11. The structural design that allows the slider 138 to move within the sliding slot 121 allows the movable column 137 to move more smoothly within the second bracket 12.

[0039] Furthermore, the tooth block 134 and the tooth portion 112 are engaged with each other, and the limiting rod 139 moves up and down in the annular groove 123 .

[0040] Furthermore, the tooth block 134 and the tooth portion 112 are meshed with each other, and the limiting rod 139 moves up and down within the annular groove 123. It should also be noted that the lifting portion 13 and the first bracket 11 are interlocked by the meshing of the tooth block 134 and the tooth portion 112, so that the device can be installed on brackets of different sizes, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0041] During use, the first bracket 11, the second bracket 12, and the third bracket 14 are first installed by plugging them together. The depth adjustment of the second bracket 12 plugged into the first bracket 11 corresponds to the overall height adjustment of the device. When the overall height of the device needs to be raised, the second bracket 12 only needs to be inserted a little shorter into the depth of the first bracket 11. When the overall height adjustment of the device is completed, the limit rod 139 is pressed down to drive the movable column 137 to move toward the first bracket 11. Under the joint action of the first connecting rod 133 and the second connecting rod 135, the four groups of tooth blocks 134 are respectively moved to the position of the tooth portion 112 and meshed with each other. Then, the pins are sequentially inserted into the limit hole 1391 and the fixing hole 125 to complete the installation. When the device needs to be disassembled, it is only necessary to pull out the pins from the limiting hole 1391 and the fixing hole 125 respectively. Under the elastic force of the spring 136, the four groups of tooth blocks 134 move toward the center of the connecting column 131 respectively, completing the disassembly of the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12; then the third bracket 14 is pulled out from the second bracket 12 to complete the disassembly of the three brackets.

[0042] Example 2 Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2, which is the second embodiment of the present invention, is different from the first embodiment in that it further includes: the driving mechanism 2 includes a motor 21 arranged on the third bracket 14, a transmission shaft 22 arranged on the motor 21, and a driving gear 23 fixedly arranged on the transmission shaft 22.

[0043] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism 3 includes a rotating shaft 31 movably connected to the third bracket 14, a driven gear 32 fixedly provided on the rotating shaft 31, and a mounting bracket 33 fixedly provided on the rotating shaft 31; the driving gear 23 and the driven gear 32 cooperate with each other.

[0044] When in use, the motor 21 is started, and the motor 21 provides kinetic energy to the transmission shaft 22, thereby driving the driving gear 23 to rotate. The driven gear 32 also rotates under the drive of the driving gear 23, thereby causing the photovoltaic panel 4 installed on the mounting frame 33 to rotate; by controlling the speed and direction of the motor 21, the rotation angle of the photovoltaic panel 4 is adjusted, so that the photovoltaic panel 4 can always be adjusted to follow the position of sunlight.
