Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of solar photovoltaic support technology, specifically a solar photovoltaic support with angle adjustment function. Background Technology
[0002] The advantages of using solar photovoltaic mounting systems to support solar panels go far beyond simple production and installation. Solar panels can also be flexibly moved according to sunlight and season. Just like when they were first installed, the slope of each solar panel can be adjusted by moving the fasteners to accommodate different angles of sunlight, and then tightened again to accurately fix the solar panel in the designated position.
[0003] A solar photovoltaic bracket with angle adjustment function, disclosed in CN212381156U, includes a top plate and a support column. The support column is rotatably connected to the middle of the bottom surface of the top plate via a hinge, and a positioning plate is welded to the surface of the support column via a support rod. The positioning plate has threaded holes on its surface. An adjustment rod is rotatably connected to the edge of the bottom surface of the top plate via a hinge. In this patent, pulling the adjustment rod causes the top plate to rotate with the support column under the action of the hinge, so as to adjust the angle of the top plate. The adjustment rod is connected to one end of a connecting block via a lug, and the other end of the connecting block is rotatably connected to a rotating seat via an inner cavity. By rotating the rotating seat, the threaded post at one end of the rotating seat is connected to the threaded hole on the surface of the positioning plate, which facilitates fixing the position of the adjustment rod. The threaded hole on the surface of the positioning plate facilitates multi-angle adjustment of the top plate, thereby increasing the convenience of use and adjustment.
[0004] The aforementioned device allows for angle adjustment of the photovoltaic panel by installing an adjustment mechanism. However, this device still has shortcomings. Because the photovoltaic panel itself has a certain weight, when adjusting it manually, the bolts must first be removed. At this time, the weight of the photovoltaic panel is entirely supported by the human hand. If the force is insufficient, the photovoltaic panel will tilt directly forward, thereby damaging the photovoltaic panel. Furthermore, the positioning holes set in the aforementioned device are in fixed positions. However, the solar altitude and the angle of illumination are different in different seasons. If the angle of the photovoltaic panel is restricted to a few fixed angles, it will reduce the solar panel conversion efficiency and other problems. Summary of the Invention

This solar photovoltaic bracket with angle adjustment function is equipped with a vertical rotation device. The servo motor drives the first bevel gear to rotate the second bevel gear, which in turn causes the slide rod to slide on the inner wall of the guide groove.

[0016] 3. This solar photovoltaic bracket with angle adjustment function is equipped with a horizontal rotation device. When the servo motor is turned on, the transmission rod drives the gear to rotate, which in turn drives the turntable to rotate through the bearing inside the support base. This allows the photovoltaic panel on top to rotate, thus achieving the purpose of horizontal rotation adjustment of the photovoltaic panel.
[0017] 4. This solar photovoltaic bracket with angle adjustment function achieves precise angle adjustment of the photovoltaic panel by connecting the threaded rod and the slide rod with a threaded connection. When the threaded rod rotates, it can drive the slide rod to move up and down on the inner wall of the guide groove.
