[0033] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0034] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and 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.

[0035] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 6 , is the first embodiment of the utility model, which provides a supporting mechanism, including:

[0038] The load-bearing component 100 includes a bottom cross beam 101, a center beam 102 fixedly connected to the outside of the bottom cross beam 101, a side beam 103 fixedly connected to the outside of the bottom cross beam 101, a top cross beam 104 fixedly connected to the outside of the side beam 103, a first support assembly 105 adapted to be installed inside the center beam 102, a second support assembly 106 adapted to be installed inside the side beam 103, and a power assembly 107 adapted to be installed inside the bottom cross beam 101.

[0039] Specifically, the first support assembly 105 includes a first top slider 105a slidably connected to the inside of the top crossbeam 104, a first top support rod 105b hinged to the outside of the first top slider 105a, and a first center slider 105c hinged to the outside of the first top support rod 105b;

[0040] The first central sliding block 105 c is slidably connected inside the central beam 102 .

[0041] Furthermore, the first supporting assembly 105 further includes a first bottom support rod 105d hingedly connected to the outside of the first central slider 105c, and a first bottom component 105e adapted to be installed on the outside of the first bottom support rod 105d.

[0042] The first bottom member 105e includes a first bottom slider 105e-1 hinged on the outside of the first bottom support rod 105d, a square groove 105e-2 opened inside the first bottom slider 105e-1, and a clamping groove 105e-3 opened inside the first bottom slider 105e-1;

[0043] The first bottom slider 105e-1 is slidably connected inside the bottom beam 101.

[0044] Preferably, the first bottom component 105e also includes a protrusion 105e-4 fixedly connected to the outside of the first bottom slider 105e-1, a telescopic block 105e-5 slidably connected to the inside of the protrusion 105e-4, and a contact surface 105e-6 opened on the outside of the telescopic block 105e-5, and a spring 105e-7 arranged on the outside of the telescopic block 105e-5.

[0045] It should be noted that the second support assembly 106 includes a second top slider 106a slidably connected to the inside of the top crossbeam 104, a second top support rod 106b hinged to the outside of the second top slider 106a, and a second center slider 106c hinged to the outside of the second top support rod 106b;

[0046] The second central sliding block 106 c is slidably connected inside the side beam 103 .

[0047] In addition, the second support assembly 106 further includes a second bottom support rod 106d hingedly connected to the outside of the second center slider 106c, and a second bottom slider 106e hingedly connected to the outside of the second bottom support rod 106d;

[0048] The second bottom sliding block 106 e is slidably connected inside the bottom cross beam 101 .

[0049] Finally, the power assembly 107 includes a pad 107a fixedly connected to the outside of the side beam 103, a motor 107b adapted to be installed on the outside of the pad 107a, and a rotating shaft 107c fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 107b, and a thread 107d provided on the outside of the rotating shaft 107c;

[0050] The first bottom slider 105e-1 and the second bottom slider 106e are threadedly connected to the thread 107d, and the thread 107d is provided in plurality, and the thread grooves of any two adjacent threads 107d are opposite.

[0051] A limit convex block is arranged inside the center beam 102. Figure 2 The bottom end of the first central slider 105c is in the position and is in close contact with the first central slider 105c, which is used to prevent the first central slider 105c from Figure 2 After reaching the position, continue to slide down.

[0052] When encountering bad weather, the staff starts the motor 107b to rotate forward. Since the thread grooves of any two adjacent threads 107d are opposite, the motor 107b can drive the first bottom slider 105e-1 and the second bottom slider 106e to move through the shaft 107c and the thread 107d. The moving trajectory is: Figure 6 Move to the next Figure 2position, that is, the two first bottom sliders 105e-1 move away from each other, and the two second bottom sliders 106e move toward the direction close to the center beam 102.

[0053] When the two first bottom sliders 105e-1 move away from each other, the first center slider 105c is driven to move downward, thereby driving the two first top sliders 105a to move closer to each other.

[0054] When the two second bottom sliders 106e move toward the center beam 102, the second center slider 106c is driven to move downward, thereby driving the two second top sliders 106a to move away from each other.

[0055] Through the movement of each slider and the cooperation of each support rod hinged thereto, it can be achieved that after the slider is moved, each support rod can form a support between the bottom beam 101, the center beam 102, the side beam 103 and the top beam 104, thereby acting as an angle steel to improve the stability of the photovoltaic frame.

[0056] Example 2

[0057] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 6 , which is the second embodiment of the utility model. Different from the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides another working state of the supporting mechanism.

[0058] After the bad weather ends, if the device is still nearby Figure 2 In the state shown, each support pole will affect pedestrian activities.

[0059] Therefore, after the bad weather ends, the operator can reverse the motor 107b so that the device can be operated from the adjacent Figure 2 Move to the next Figure 6 Position, its specific activity process is opposite to that of embodiment 1.

[0060] In addition, in the attached Figure 6 When the first center slider 105c is in the forward position, it tends to fall downward due to its own gravity. This downward trend will cause the two first bottom sliders 105e-1 to move away from each other, that is, the rotating shaft 107c has a positive rotation trend. The existence of this trend can easily cause each support rod to automatically tilt without tilting.

[0061] To prevent the above situation from happening, the motor 107b is reversed to make the device Figure 2 Move to the next Figure 6During the process of moving the two first bottom sliders 105e-1 to their respective positions, that is, during the process of the two first bottom sliders 105e-1 approaching each other, the protrusion 105e-4 on the outside of one of the first bottom sliders 105e-1 will be inserted into the square groove 105e-2 inside the other first bottom slider 105e-1. During the insertion process, the outer contact surface 105e-6 of the telescopic block 105e-5 will be squeezed against the edge of the square groove 105e-2. Under the action of the squeezing force, the telescopic block 105e-5 will extend into the protrusion 105e-4 and squeeze the spring 105e-7. When the telescopic block 105e-5 is aligned with the slot 105e-3, under the action of the rebound force of the spring 105e-7, the telescopic block 105e-5 will be inserted into the slot 105e-3.

[0062] When the telescopic block 105e-5 on the outside of one of the first bottom parts 105e is inserted into the slot 105e-3 inside the other first bottom part 105e, if the two first bottom sliders 105e-1 are to be separated, it is necessary to overcome the elastic force of the spring 105e-7, so that the first center slider 105c will not fall under the action of its own gravity, thereby preventing the device from being triggered incorrectly to a certain extent.

[0063] In summary, through the mutual cooperation of various components, in bad weather, the motor 107b can rotate forward to move each support pole from a vertical or horizontal state to an inclined state, thereby playing a supporting role between the beams and enhancing the stability of the photovoltaic frame. In normal weather, the motor 107b can be reversed to move each support pole from an inclined state to a horizontal or vertical state that is in line with each beam, thereby ensuring that the support pole will not affect pedestrian activities, and the two first bottom sliders 105e-1 are engaged with each other, thereby preventing the device from being triggered incorrectly.

[0064] Example 3

[0065] Reference Figure 1 , which is the third embodiment of the utility model, is different from the previous embodiment in that this embodiment provides a photovoltaic frame, including a support mechanism, and,

[0066] The main structure 200 includes a load-bearing beam 201 fixedly connected to the top of the top crossbeam 104 , and a photovoltaic component 202 adapted to be installed on the top of the load-bearing beam 201 .

[0067] Specifically, the photovoltaic component 202 includes a first photovoltaic panel 202 a adapted to be installed on the top of the load-bearing beam 201 , and a second photovoltaic panel 203 b adapted to be installed on the top of the load-bearing beam 201 .

[0068] By replacing the larger photovoltaic panel set on the load-bearing beam 201 with multiple smaller photovoltaic panels spliced ​​together, although the integrity of a part of the device is sacrificed, in geographical locations where severe weather is frequent, multiple smaller photovoltaic panels are spliced ​​together. When a photovoltaic panel is damaged, only the photovoltaic panel needs to be replaced, which saves maintenance costs and simplifies maintenance work.

[0069] In summary, by replacing the larger photovoltaic panel on the load-bearing beam 201 with multiple smaller photovoltaic panels spliced ​​together, when a photovoltaic panel is damaged, only the photovoltaic panel needs to be replaced, which saves maintenance costs and simplifies maintenance work.

[0070] Importantly, it should be noted that the construction and arrangement of the present application shown in a plurality of different exemplary embodiments are only exemplary.

For example, the element shown as integrally formed can be composed of multiple parts or elements, the position of the element can be inverted or otherwise changed, and the nature or number or position of the discrete element can be changed or changed. Therefore, all such modifications are intended to be included in the scope of the present utility model.

Without departing from the scope of the present invention, other substitutions, modifications, changes and omissions may be made in the design, operating conditions and arrangement of the exemplary embodiments. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to a specific embodiment, but extends to various modifications that still fall within the scope of the appended claims.

[0071] Additionally, in order to provide a concise description of example embodiments, all features of an actual embodiment (ie, those features that are not relevant to the best mode presently contemplated for carrying out the invention or those that are not relevant to implementing the invention) may not be described.

[0072] It will be appreciated that in the development of any actual implementation, as in any engineering or design project, numerous implementation-specific decisions may be made. Such a development effort may be complex and time-consuming, but will be a routine task of design, fabrication, and production for those of ordinary skill having the benefit of this disclosure without undue experimentation.
