Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of photovoltaic panel installation technology, specifically a photovoltaic panel installation positioning device. Background Technology

[0002] As the use of solar energy in buildings increases, in order to reduce material and installation costs, people are combining solar photovoltaic modules with building roofs to form building photovoltaic integration. This means that multiple solar photovoltaic modules are spliced ​​together to convert solar energy into electricity or other energy sources while also serving as a roof.

[0003] The existing installation method usually involves fixing brackets on the roof or ground, and then arranging and installing photovoltaic panels on the bracket surface in sequence according to the required angle. The existing bracket structure can be customized according to the angle requirements later. Therefore, during installation, it is only necessary to ensure the flatness and neatness of multiple photovoltaic panels and the fixation performance later.

[0004] Currently, ensuring the installation angle of photovoltaic panels is often achieved through worker experience and calibration with a level. After multiple calibrations, the photovoltaic panels are tightened with bolts and other fasteners. This results in inefficiency and frequent rework during the placement and adjustment of photovoltaic panels.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, a photovoltaic panel installation and positioning device is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a photovoltaic panel installation and positioning device, which solves the problem in the prior art that workers need to pull the photovoltaic panel forcefully when it is moved upward, thus wasting physical strength, and can quickly install and position the photovoltaic panel, avoiding the problem of angle adjustment.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a photovoltaic panel installation and positioning device, comprising: a combined bracket; a photovoltaic panel, detachably connected to the combined bracket; a bottom module and a top module, both detachably connected to the combined bracket; each of the bottom module and the top module is provided with an auxiliary mechanism, the auxiliary mechanism including a horizontal frame, an auxiliary column, an auxiliary groove, a connector, and a telescopic plate; a horizontal frame is detachably connected to the outside of the combined bracket; an auxiliary column is symmetrically rotatably connected inside the horizontal frame; auxiliary grooves are symmetrically opened on the outer side wall of the auxiliary column; a connector is slidably connected inside the auxiliary groove; a telescopic hole is opened on the upper surface of the horizontal frame; a force-saving mechanism is slidably connected inside the telescopic hole; a telescopic plate is provided below the force-saving mechanism; and the telescopic plate is fixedly connected to two connectors.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: the labor-saving mechanism includes a first motor, an auxiliary wheel, a first bevel gear and a second bevel gear. The second bevel gear is rotatably connected above the telescopic plate via the first motor. The auxiliary wheel is rotatably connected above the telescopic plate via a rotating shaft. The first bevel gear is integrally formed on the outer side of the auxiliary wheel. The first bevel gear and the second bevel gear are meshed and connected. The auxiliary wheel passes through the telescopic hole.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: a correction mechanism is provided on the outside of the horizontal frame of the top module. The correction mechanism includes a correction frame, a first airbag and a suction cup. The correction frame is slidably connected to the outside of the horizontal frame. The first airbag is fixedly connected to the inside of the correction frame. A suction cup is fixedly connected to one end of the first airbag and the suction cup is in contact with the surface of the photovoltaic panel.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: a power mechanism is provided on the outside of the correction frame. The power mechanism includes a bidirectional telescopic cylinder, a telescopic rod, an air cylinder, and a piston. The bidirectional telescopic cylinder is rotatably connected to the outside of the correction frame. The telescopic rod is slidably connected to both ends of the bidirectional telescopic cylinder. The air cylinder is fixedly connected to the outside of the correction frame. The piston is slidably connected inside the air cylinder. The end of the telescopic rod away from the bidirectional telescopic cylinder is fixedly connected to the piston. The air cylinder is connected to the first airbag.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: the surface of the combined bracket is provided with bolts, and the correction frame is detachably connected to the bolts through a swing member.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: a through hole is provided on the outer side of the cross frame, and an L-rod is fixedly connected to one side of the telescopic plate. The L-rod passes through the through hole and is fixedly connected to the correction frame.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: a connecting mechanism is provided below the top module and the bottom module. The connecting mechanism includes a central block, an extension rod and a side plate. A central block is provided below the combined bracket. Extension rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the central block. A side plate is fixedly connected to the top of the central block. A limiting plate is slidably connected to the opposite ends of the side plates. A concave part is rotatably connected to the top of the limiting plate.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution: a drive belt is provided inside the cross frame, and the drive belt is engaged with the auxiliary column.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0016] This invention provides a photovoltaic panel installation and positioning device. A combined bracket supports the photovoltaic panel, and then a bottom module and a top module assist in moving the photovoltaic panel. This avoids the surface friction damage caused by direct contact and pushing of the photovoltaic panel against the bracket, as is common in traditional methods. An auxiliary wheel increases friction, making translation easier. A force-saving mechanism rotates the auxiliary wheel, allowing it to protrude from and retract from the combined bracket, achieving contact between the photovoltaic panel and the bracket, avoiding friction, increasing installation efficiency, and protecting the photovoltaic panel.

[0017] The present invention provides a photovoltaic panel installation and positioning device. After the photovoltaic panel is moved to the top, the first airbag is squeezed by the correction mechanism and the power mechanism, and the suction cup is attracted to the photovoltaic panel. The piston is moved by the power mechanism to generate continuous negative pressure, which completely squeezes and retracts the first airbag, thereby fixing the angle of the photovoltaic panel and avoiding the problem of needing to adjust the angle later.

[0018] The present invention provides a photovoltaic panel installation and positioning device, which enables rapid installation through a connecting mechanism and can simultaneously calibrate the top and bottom modules, avoiding the problem of the two modules not being on the same horizontal line during later installation. Furthermore, the side plates and concave parts can play a limiting and calibration role during the installation of photovoltaic panels, thereby improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0029] To further understand the content of this invention, a detailed description of the invention will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4A photovoltaic panel installation and positioning device includes: a combined bracket 1; a photovoltaic panel 2, detachably connected to the combined bracket 1; the combined bracket 1 is used to install the photovoltaic panel 2 at a designated position, the combined bracket 1 is a fixed bracket with an adjustable angle according to actual needs, a bottom module 3 and a top module 4, the bottom module 3 and top module 4 are respectively installed at the farthest point of the combined bracket 1, and the number of bottom modules 3 can be adjusted according to needs. The installation method can adopt existing quick technology methods, such as bolts or magnetic attraction, etc., and all are detachably connected to the combined bracket 1. The bottom module 3 and top module 4 are provided with auxiliary mechanisms 5 inside, the auxiliary mechanisms 5 include a horizontal frame 501 and an auxiliary column 502. The system includes an auxiliary groove 503, a connector 504, and a telescopic plate 505. A horizontal frame 501 is detachably connected to the outside of the combined bracket 1. The horizontal frame 501 is positioned and installed on the combined bracket 1 in advance for easy subsequent operation. An auxiliary column 502 is symmetrically rotatably connected inside the horizontal frame 501. An auxiliary groove 503 is symmetrically opened on the outer wall of the auxiliary column 502. A connector 504 is slidably connected inside the auxiliary groove 503. A telescopic hole 506 is opened on the upper surface of the horizontal frame 501. A force-saving mechanism 6 is slidably connected inside the telescopic hole 506. A telescopic plate 505 is provided below the force-saving mechanism 6. The telescopic plate 505 is fixedly connected to two connectors 504.

[0031] Install the combined bracket 1 in the designated position and adjust and fix the angle of the surface according to the requirements. Then install the bottom module 3 and the top module 4 on the combined bracket 1. Push the photovoltaic panel 2 from the bottom upwards for installation. The auxiliary column 502 rotates to drive the connector 504 and the telescopic plate 505 to rise, so that the labor-saving mechanism 6 protrudes from the installation surface. The photovoltaic panel 2 moves quickly to the installation position on the surface of the labor-saving mechanism 6.

[0032] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The labor-saving mechanism 6 includes a first motor 601, an auxiliary wheel 602, a first bevel gear 603, and a second bevel gear 604. The second bevel gear 604 is rotatably connected to the top of the telescopic plate 505 via the first motor 601. The auxiliary wheel 602 is rotatably connected to the top of the telescopic plate 505 via a rotating shaft 605. The first bevel gear 603 is integrally formed on the outer side of the auxiliary wheel 602. The first bevel gear 603 and the second bevel gear 604 are meshed together. The auxiliary wheel 602 passes through the telescopic hole 506. The first motor 601 drives the second bevel gear 604 to rotate, causing the first bevel gear 603 and the auxiliary wheel 602 to rotate. The auxiliary wheel 602 is a power wheel that increases friction. It contacts the lower surface of the photovoltaic panel 2 to prevent the photovoltaic panel 2 from contacting the combined bracket 1 and causing damage to the lower surface when pushed. The auxiliary wheel 602 facilitates the upward and horizontal movement of the photovoltaic panel 2.

[0033] Combination Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A correction mechanism 7 is provided on the outside of the horizontal frame 501 of the top module 4.

The first airbag 702 is fixedly connected inside the correction frame 701. One end of the first airbag 702 is fixedly connected to the suction cup 703, which is in contact with the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2. After the photovoltaic panel 2 is inserted into the correction frame 701, it contacts the suction cup 703. As it is continuously inserted, it squeezes the first airbag 702, and the suction cup 703 generates negative pressure, increasing the suction function of the suction cup 703. A power mechanism 8 is provided on the outside of the correction frame 701. The power mechanism 8 includes a bidirectional telescopic cylinder 801 and a telescopic rod 8. 02. An air cylinder 803 and a piston 804 are rotatably connected to the outside of the correction frame 701. A telescopic cylinder 801 is slidably connected to both ends of the telescopic cylinder 801. An air cylinder 803 is fixedly connected to the outside of the correction frame 701. A piston 804 is slidably connected inside the air cylinder 803. The end of the telescopic rod 802 away from the telescopic cylinder 801 is fixedly connected to the piston 804. The air cylinder 803 is connected to the first airbag 702. A drive belt 13 is provided inside the horizontal frame 501. The drive belt 13 is engaged with the auxiliary column 502. The telescopic rod 802 moves in the same direction, driving the piston 804 to move, so that the air cylinder 803 is under negative pressure and drives the first airbag 702 to squeeze, driving the photovoltaic panel 2 to adjust backward. The suction cups 703 are on both sides of the photovoltaic panel 2, so that its angle can be adjusted to the required vertical angle, which is convenient for later installation and fixation.

[0034] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 The surface of the combined bracket 1 is provided with bolts 9. The correction frame 701 is detachably connected to the bolts 9 through the swing piece 10. The outer side of the horizontal frame 501 is provided with a through hole 11. An L rod 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the telescopic plate 505. The L rod 12 passes through the through hole 11 and is fixedly connected to the correction frame 701. The bolts 9 are existing components used to fix the photovoltaic panel 2 and the combined bracket 1. The L rod 12 enables the telescopic plate 505 and the correction frame 701 to move synchronously, which facilitates the photovoltaic panel 2 to contact and fix with the surface of the combined bracket 1 when the telescopic plate 505 is retracted later.

[0035] Combination Figure 8A connecting mechanism 14 is provided below the top module 4 and the bottom module 3. The connecting mechanism 14 includes a central block 1401, an extension rod 1402, and a side plate 1403. The central block 1401 is located below the combined bracket 1. The extension rod 1402 is fixedly connected to both sides of the central block 1401. The side plate 1403 is fixedly connected to the top of the central block 1401. The opposite end of the side plate 1403 is slidably connected to a limiting plate 1404. A concave part 1405 is rotatably connected to the top of the limiting plate 1404. By installing and connecting the extension rod 1402 to the top module 4 and the bottom module 3, the central block 1401 can be removed and installed below the combined bracket 1 in the middle during installation, thus enabling quick installation. Then, when installing the photovoltaic panel 2, the concave part 1405 and the limiting plate 1404 can be pulled out to adjust the width of the photovoltaic panel 2, thus providing an auxiliary limiting calibration function during the installation process.

[0036] Working principle: During installation, the combined bracket 1 is installed in the designated position, and the angle of the surface is adjusted and fixed according to the requirements. Then, the bottom module 3 and the top module 4 are installed on the combined bracket 1. The drive belt 13 drives the auxiliary column 502 to rotate, so that the connector 504 and the telescopic plate 505 rise. The auxiliary groove 503 has a spiral and ring design to achieve rotational offset and later stability. The auxiliary wheel 602 stops rotating after its surface is higher than the combined bracket 1. Then, the photovoltaic panel 2 is installed from bottom to top and contacts the auxiliary wheel 602 in the bottom module 3. The first motor 601 drives the second bevel gear 604 to rotate, so that the first bevel gear 603 and the auxiliary wheel 602 rotate. The auxiliary wheel 602 is a power wheel that increases friction and contacts the lower surface of the photovoltaic panel 2 to avoid the photovoltaic panel 2 from contacting the combined bracket 1 and causing damage to the lower surface when it is pushed. The auxiliary wheel 602 facilitates the upward and horizontal movement of the photovoltaic panel 2.

[0037] As the photovoltaic panel 2 rises and inserts into the correction frame 701, it compresses the first airbag 702, and the suction cup 703 generates negative pressure to increase its adsorption function. Then, the telescopic rod 802 moves in the same direction, driving the piston 804 to move, causing the air cylinder 803 to exert negative pressure and compress the first airbag 702, thus driving the photovoltaic panel 2 to adjust backward. The suction cups 703 are on both sides of the photovoltaic panel 2, allowing its angle to be adjusted to the required vertical angle, which is convenient for later installation and fixation. After the drive belt 13 reverses, the auxiliary column 502 resets, and the photovoltaic panel 2 contacts the surface of the combined bracket 1 downward, and is installed and fixed by the bolts 9.

[0038] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
