[0022] In addition, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0023] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings and other embodiments can be obtained based on these drawings without inventive work.

[0024] See also Figure 1 , and combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the present invention provides a rail-type transportation system for transporting photovoltaic modules in mountainous areas, which is used for installing and transporting photovoltaic panels and their auxiliary accessories on mountainous areas.

[0025] Specifically, the rail-type transport system for transporting mountain photovoltaic modules of the present invention includes a winch 3 and a rail system 4, wherein the winch 3 is generally arranged on the working platform 1 on the hillside, and the rail 6 conveying system is arranged on the slope 2, and a trolley 7 driven by the winch 3 is arranged on the rail 6 conveying system, and the material to be transported is carried in the trolley 7, and the generator 8 continuously supplies power to the trolley 7, driving the trolley 7 to travel back and forth between the top of the mountain and the bottom of the mountain to realize the transfer and transportation of materials.

[0026] Among them, the track system 4 of the present invention includes an upper bracket 41, a lower bracket 5 and a track 6. The upper bracket 41 is arranged on the platform 1, and the lower bracket 5 is arranged at the bottom of the slope 2. There are two tracks 6 and they are arranged in parallel between the upper bracket 41 and the lower bracket 5. The track 6 and the upper bracket 41 are connected by a steel wire rope 31. A trolley 7 is slidably mounted on the track 6. The trolley 7 is connected to the steel rope 32 on the winch 3, and a horizontal rod 33 is provided between the track 6 and the slope 2 bracket. Through the design of the horizontal rod 33, the contact area between the track 6 and the ground is increased, the stability of the track 6 is improved, and the problem of unstable operation of the trolley 7 on the track 6 caused by the long length of the mountain transport track 6 and the frequent local potholes is overcome. At the same time, the horizontal rod 33 is designed to support the concave area of ​​the local terrain of the track to avoid the track being vacant, resulting in stress deformation and affecting the transportation effect.

[0027] Furthermore, the present invention provides a plurality of cross arms 66 along the length direction of the track 6. Both ends of the cross arms 66 are limited by inserting columns 68 on the slope 2. The inserting columns 68 need to be inserted into the ground to a certain depth to provide support beam bearing.

[0028] Among them, the cross arm 66 is a C-shaped steel, and the track 6 is provided with a plurality of locking holes 67 at intervals along its length direction. The C-shaped steel and the locking holes 67 are connected by bolts 69 to realize the integration of the cross arm 66 and the track 6. And because the cross arm 66 is arranged at intervals, its impact on the opposite vegetation can be effectively reduced.

[0029] In order to further facilitate installation, the track 6 of the present invention is formed by splicing multiple monomers 61 together. The cross-section of the monomer 61 is concave, and multiple connecting holes 62 are provided at the side ends of the monomer 61. A connecting plate 63 is provided between adjacent connecting plates 63, that is, the two ends of the connecting plate 63 are respectively connected to the adjacent monomers 61, and are inserted into the connecting holes 62 by bolts 69 for locking. The adjacent monomers 61 can form a whole through the connecting plate 63.

[0030] Moreover, a hoop 64 is provided on the outer side of the connector, and a column 65 is inserted into the hoop 64. The column 65 is inserted into the slope 2 to fix it, further reinforcing the connection of the track 6 to prevent displacement of the connection. For the specific structure, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown.

[0031] Among them, the upper bracket 41 of the present invention includes a fixed rod 42 and a connecting rod 43, the fixed rod 42 is arranged relatively spaced apart and connected through the connecting rod 43, a fixed pulley 44 is provided on the connecting rod 43, the steel rope 32 on the winch 3 passes through the fixed pulley 44 and is connected to the trolley 7, and the fixed pulley 44 is used to fix the steel wire rope between the winch 3 and the transport trolley 7.

[0032] like Figure 6As shown, the lower bracket 5 of the present invention includes a plurality of spaced-apart positioning posts 51, with cross arms 66 arranged between the positioning posts 51. The rails 6 are connected to the cross arms 66, with the ends of the rails 6 pressing against the positioning posts 51. The lower bracket 5 acts as a fixed stop at the ends of the rails 6, and multiple positioning posts 51 are driven vertically to serve as a limiter and fixing structure for the cross arms 66. In addition, two positioning posts 51 are driven at the ends of the two rails 6 to prevent the transport trolley 7 from sliding off the ends of the rails 6.

[0033] For further details on the technical solution of the present invention, please continue to refer to Figure 3 As shown, the trolley 7 of the present invention includes a rectangular frame 71, and rollers 72 adapted to the track 6 are provided at the four corners of the frame 71. A traction ring 73 for connecting the steel rope 32 and a material blocking plate 74 for preventing the material from sliding down are provided on the frame 71.

[0034] In order to ensure the bearing capacity and strength of the trolley 7, the frame 71 is welded with steel, and a rope hook 75 is also provided on the trolley 7 to restrain and fix the components stacked in multiple layers in the trolley 7. After the components are stacked, the fixing rope is wrapped around the components and tightened through the rope hook 75.

[0035] Please continue reading Figure 7 As shown, the present invention is provided with a brake at the bottom of the trolley 7, which includes a brake rope 9, a brake plate 91 and a mounting rod 92 hinged to the bottom of the trolley 7, the brake plate 91 is mounted on the end of the mounting rod 92, and a brake rake 93 perpendicular to the ground and the brake plate 91 is mounted on the brake plate 91, and the brake rope 9 is connected to the mounting rod 92 by passing through a fixed pulley 94 at the bottom of the trolley 7.

[0036] When the trolley is running normally, the brake rope 9 is pulled to drive the mounting rod 92 to rotate relative to the trolley, so that the brake rake 93 at the bottom of the mounting rod 92 is separated from the ground, thereby realizing the rapid movement of the trolley.

[0037] When the speed of the trolley needs to be adjusted, the brake rope 9 can be loosened, and the mounting rod 92 can be rotated downward under the action of its gravity, so that the brake rake 93 acts on the ground, increasing the resistance between the trolley and the ground, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the speed of the trolley and thus achieving the effect of braking and stopping.

[0038] It is worth noting that the brake rake 93 of the present invention comprises a plate body and a rake spike. The plate body is mounted vertically on the brake plate 91, and the rake spike is installed on the end surface of the plate body facing away from the brake plate 91, for contact with the ground. Preferably, the periphery of the plate body is bent outward to form a flap to prevent the rake spike from digging too deeply into the ground after sudden braking, thereby preventing the brake plate 91 from being lifted smoothly when the brake rope 9 is tightened.

[0039] Furthermore, it should be noted that the present invention is provided with a base 95 at the bottom of the trolley 7, on which a second fixed pulley 96 is provided. The brake rope 9, after passing through the fixed pulley 94, passes through the second fixed pulley 96, passes through the threading tube 97 provided on the trolley 7, and is connected to the steel rope 32. For the specific structure, please refer to Figure 7 shown.

[0040] The present invention provides a rail-type transport system for transporting photovoltaic modules in mountainous areas. The system uses photovoltaic support components as the transport track 6 and the main body of the trolley 7, and combines modular design with an adaptive adjustment mechanism. Without the need for additional processing of special equipment, it significantly reduces transportation costs and construction periods, simultaneously solves the problems of terrain adaptability and ecological protection, and realizes efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly transportation of photovoltaic modules in complex mountainous environments.

[0041] The beneficial effect of the present invention's rail-type transportation system for transporting mountain photovoltaic modules is that it proposes an innovative solution to the problems of high equipment cost, poor terrain adaptability, low construction efficiency, and serious ecological damage in the transportation of mountain photovoltaic modules. The present invention not only greatly reduces material costs and construction periods, but also significantly improves the stability and safety of the transportation system. The rail system 4 of the present invention adopts multiple support and fixing devices, which can effectively adapt to complex mountain terrains of 25°-40° and prevent derailment or overturning during transportation. At the same time, the modular design increases the installation efficiency by more than 300%, and the winch 3 traction system ensures the safety and reliability of the transportation process. In addition, this technology effectively reduces the impact of material transportation on surface vegetation by reducing the construction of temporary roads, achieving a win-win situation for engineering construction and ecological protection, and providing a standardized transportation solution for mountain photovoltaic projects that is economical, efficient, safe, reliable and environmentally friendly.

[0042] Finally, the method of this application is only a preferred embodiment and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
