Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of photovoltaic technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic support structure suitable for installation in farmland. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic power generation is a technology that directly converts light energy into electrical energy using the photovoltaic effect at the semiconductor interface. It mainly consists of three parts: solar panels (modules), a controller, and an inverter. The main components are made up of electronic devices. Solar cells are connected in series and then encapsulated for protection to form large-area solar cell modules. Combined with components such as power controllers, this forms a photovoltaic power generation device.

[0003] In the current technology, when photovoltaic panels are installed on a large area of ​​farmland, crops are planted under the photovoltaic panels to ensure the yield of crops. This achieves photovoltaic power generation without affecting the planting area. However, with the advent of drone sprinkler irrigation, it has become difficult for crops under the photovoltaic panels to be effectively irrigated. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention proposes a photovoltaic support structure suitable for installation in farmland, which solves the problem in the prior art where the emergence of drone sprinkler irrigation makes it difficult for crops under the photovoltaic panels to receive effective irrigation.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A photovoltaic bracket suitable for installation in farmland includes four support columns, and photovoltaic panels are installed on the top of the four support columns. A drainage frame is installed on the four edges of the photovoltaic panel. The photovoltaic panel and the drainage frame are tilted. A drain pipe is connected to the bottom of the lower side of the drainage frame. A water storage tank is installed on the four support columns. The bottom end of the drain pipe is connected to the water storage tank. A water outlet is provided at the bottom of the water storage tank.

[0006] Furthermore, the bottom plate of the water storage tank is provided with several evenly distributed water outlet holes.

[0007] Furthermore, two cover plates are symmetrically slidably disposed on the inner bottom of the water storage tank. The two cover plates are tightly fitted and slid on the bottom plate, and the two cover plates protrude from the bottom sides of the water storage tank.

[0008] Furthermore, two connecting strips are respectively connected to one end of the two cover plates that protrude from the bottom of the two sides of the water storage tank.

[0009] Furthermore, each of the connecting strips has two connecting plates at its bottom, and four telescopic drive components are symmetrically installed on the bottom of the base plate, with the telescopic end of each telescopic drive component connected to one of the connecting plates.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a clearing component, which includes a first cutting blade, an extension rod, and a second cutting blade. The extension rod is provided in two sets, and the two sets of extension rods are symmetrically fixed to the two sides of the water tank. Each set of extension rods has two extension rods, which are symmetrically arranged. A second cutting blade is fixed to the end between the two extension rods in each set. The lower side of the second cutting blade is flush with the lower side of the extension rod. A first cutting blade is fixed to the upper part of each connecting strip. The upper side of the first cutting blade is flush with the lower side of the second cutting blade.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a fixing component, with one of the fixing components installed at the bottom of each of the support columns.

[0012] Furthermore, the fixing component includes a base plate and four fixing anchors, which penetrate the base plate and have a pointed conical bottom end.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes lateral positioning components, with two lateral positioning components symmetrically arranged on both sides of each base plate; The lateral positioning assembly includes slide rails, sliding plates, fixed forks, mounting plates, bearing seats, and screws. Two slide rails are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom end face of the base plate. Two sliding plates are provided, and each sliding plate slides between the two slide rails. The two sliding plates are symmetrically arranged. Each sliding plate has several fixed forks at its bottom. The end of each fixed fork away from the center line of the base plate is inclined downward. A vertical mounting plate is fixed to the end of each sliding plate away from the center line of the base plate. The top of the mounting plate is higher than the upper side of the base plate.

[0014] Furthermore, each of the mounting pieces is connected to a translation assembly, which includes a bearing housing and a screw. The bearing housing is mounted on the upper side of the base plate, and the screw passes through one end of the mounting piece and is rotatably connected to the bearing housing. The screw is threadedly connected to the mounting piece.

[0015] The positive effects of this invention are: When using drones for irrigation or during rainy weather, rainwater falls onto the solar panels, collects in a drainage frame, flows down the slope to the lowest point, and then enters a storage tank through a pipe, thus temporarily storing the water.

[0016] When irrigation is needed, the telescopic drive extends, driving the connecting strip through the connecting plate. The connecting strip pulls the cover plate out of the water tank, and the bottom plate is no longer covered. Then, the water in the water tank flows down from the water outlet on the bottom plate, effectively irrigating the crops under the photovoltaic panel and ensuring that the crops under the photovoltaic panel can grow smoothly.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The following will be combined with the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described 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 any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Example 1

[0020] Combination Figure 1-11 As shown, a photovoltaic bracket suitable for installation in farmland includes four support columns 1, and photovoltaic panels 2 are installed on the top of the four support columns 1. A drainage frame 3 is installed on the four edges of the photovoltaic panel 2. The photovoltaic panel 2 and the drainage frame 3 are in an inclined state. A drain pipe 4 is connected to the bottom of the lower side of the drainage frame 3. A water storage tank 5 is installed on the four support columns 1. The bottom end of the drain pipe 4 is connected to the water storage tank 5. A water outlet is provided at the bottom of the water storage tank 5.

[0021] The bottom plate 6 of the water storage tank 5 is provided with several evenly distributed water outlet holes.

[0022] Two cover plates 7 are symmetrically slidably arranged on the inner bottom of the water storage tank 5. The two cover plates 7 are closely attached to the bottom plate 6 and slide out from the bottom of both sides of the water storage tank 5.

[0023] Two connecting strips 8 are respectively connected to one end of the two cover plates 7 that protrude from the bottom of the two sides of the water storage tank 5.

[0024] Each of the connecting strips 8 has two connecting plates 9 connected to its bottom. Four telescopic drive components 10 are symmetrically installed on the bottom of the base plate 6. The telescopic end of each telescopic drive component 10 is connected to one of the connecting plates 9.

[0025] During drone-based irrigation or in rainy weather, rainwater falls onto the photovoltaic panel 2, then collects in the drainage frame 3. The rainwater then flows down the slope to the lowest point, and then enters the water storage tank 5 through the drain pipe 4, achieving the effect of temporary water storage.

[0026] When irrigation is needed, the telescopic drive component 10 extends, and the connecting plate 9 drives the connecting strip 8 to move. The connecting strip 8 drives the cover plate 7 to be pulled out of the water storage tank 5, and then the bottom plate 6 is no longer covered. Subsequently, the water in the water storage tank 5 flows down from the water outlet on the bottom plate 6, thereby effectively irrigating the crops under the photovoltaic panel and ensuring that the crops under the photovoltaic panel can also grow smoothly.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] Combination Figure 1-11 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that it also includes a clearing component. The clearing component includes a first cutting blade 11, an extension rod 12, and a second cutting blade 13. There are two sets of extension rods 12, which are symmetrically fixed to the two sides of the water tank 5. There are two extension rods 12 in each set. The two extension rods 12 are symmetrically arranged. A second cutting blade 13 is fixed to the end between the two extension rods 12 in each set. The lower side of the second cutting blade 13 is flush with the lower side of the extension rod 12. A first cutting blade 11 is fixed to the upper part of each connecting strip 8. The upper side of the first cutting blade 11 is flush with the lower side of the second cutting blade 13.

[0029] In some application scenarios, weeds may grow between photovoltaic panels. To prevent the weeds from growing too tall and blocking the sunlight from the photovoltaic panels, when the connecting strip 8 is opened to both sides, the connecting strip 8 will drive the first cutting blade 11 to move. Taller weeds will extend between the two extension rods 12. Then, when the first cutting blade 11 moves close to the second cutting blade 13, the first cutting blade 11 and the second cutting blade 13 can cut the weeds, thus preventing the weeds around the photovoltaic panels from growing too tall and affecting photovoltaic power generation.

[0030] Example 3

[0031] Combination Figure 1-15 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 2 is that it also includes a fixing component, and a fixing component is installed at the bottom of each of the support columns 1.

[0032] The fixing component includes a base plate 14 and fixing anchors 15. Four fixing anchors 15 are provided, and the four fixing anchors 15 penetrate the base plate 14. The bottom end of each fixing anchor 15 is conical.

[0033] It also includes lateral positioning components, with two lateral positioning components symmetrically arranged on both sides of each of the base plates 14; The lateral positioning assembly includes slide rails 16, sliding plates 17, fixed forks 18, mounting pieces 19, bearing seats 20, and screws 21. Two slide rails 16 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom end face of the base plate 14. Two sliding plates 17 are provided, and both sliding plates 17 slide between the two slide rails 16. The two sliding plates 17 are symmetrically arranged. Each sliding plate 17 has several fixed forks 18 at its bottom. The end of each fixed fork 18 away from the center line of the base plate 14 is inclined downward. Each sliding plate 17 has a vertical mounting piece 19 fixedly connected to the end away from the center line of the base plate 14. The top of the mounting piece 19 is higher than the upper side of the base plate 14.

[0034] Each mounting plate 19 is connected to a translation assembly, which includes a bearing seat 20 and a screw 21. The bearing seat 20 is mounted on the upper side of the base plate 14, and the screw 21 passes through one end of the mounting plate 19 and is rotatably connected to the bearing seat 20. The screw 21 is threadedly connected to the mounting plate 19.

[0035] During photovoltaic panel installation, the fixing anchor 15 is first inserted into the soil of the farmland to complete the main fixing. At this time, the base plate 14 is attached to the ground. Then, the screw 21 is rotated. The screw 21 rotates on the bearing seat 20. The rotation of the screw 21 drives the mounting plate 19 to move. Then, the mounting plate 19 drives the sliding plate 17 to move. Then, the fixing fork 18 moves to both sides. The oblique fixing fork 18 is inserted into the soil at an angle, thereby achieving secondary fixing, avoiding horizontal swaying and misalignment of the photovoltaic module and ensuring stability.

[0036] The above-described embodiments are detailed and specific, illustrating preferred embodiments of the present invention. They are only used to illustrate the technical ideas and features of the present invention, with the aim of enabling those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly. However, they are not limited to the present invention, and the patent scope of the present invention cannot be limited by this embodiment alone. That is, any equivalent changes or modifications made to the spirit disclosed in the present invention, without departing from the structure of the present invention, such as local improvements within the system and modifications or transformations between subsystems, are still within the patent scope of the present invention.
