DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0029] It should be noted that the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0030] In this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", "fixation" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or communication with each other; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0031] In the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being “above” or “below” a second feature may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Moreover, a first feature being “above”, “above”, and “above” a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being “below”, “below”, and “below” a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0032] With the continuous development of solar energy technology, photovoltaic modules are increasingly used in the energy field. Among them, flexible photovoltaic brackets are favored by the market for their flexible installation methods and adaptability to various terrain environments. The flexible photovoltaic bracket system is a large-span multi-span structure that uses prestressed steel wire ropes to be tensioned between the two fixed points at both ends. The two fixed points at both ends use a rigid structure and an outer inclined steel strand to provide support reaction force. It can achieve a large span of 10 to 30 meters and adapt to situations such as mountain undulations and increased vegetation. It only needs to set up a foundation in a suitable location and tension the prestressed steel strand or wire rope. Among them, photovoltaic modules are composed of photovoltaic panels and their corresponding supporting structures.

[0033] During long-term use, photovoltaic modules may age or become damaged due to environmental factors, electrical failures, etc. For example, cracks and scratches may appear on the surface of the module, the backplane connection may become loose, the cable may be damaged, etc. These problems will cause the module's power generation efficiency to decrease or even fail completely. These aged or damaged modules can be eliminated by replacing photovoltaic modules, thus improving the power generation efficiency and reliability of the entire photovoltaic power station.

[0034] Although flexible brackets have higher flexibility and adaptability than traditional brackets, they may also have structural defects. During long-term use, the installation environment may cause the foundation to move, the steel structure brackets on both sides to deform, the steel strands or wire ropes to deform under tension, and the fixing bayonet of the photovoltaic module to slip. These problems will cause the photovoltaic module to be squeezed on both sides and cannot be removed normally. Therefore, it is more difficult to replace the photovoltaic module.

[0035] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a support rod for replacing a flexible bracket photovoltaic component. When the flexible photovoltaic bracket needs to replace the photovoltaic component, the claws are placed on both sides of the photovoltaic component that needs to be replaced through the setting of the telescopic component and the two claws, and are respectively engaged with the adjacent photovoltaic components on both sides of the photovoltaic component to be replaced, and the distance between the two claws is adjusted by the telescopic component so that the two claws move in opposite directions away from each other, and the photovoltaic component is spread apart to offset the pressure of the photovoltaic component, thereby facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the photovoltaic component. After the replacement of the photovoltaic component is completed, the two claws are driven to slide in a direction close to each other by the telescopic component to facilitate the removal of the support rod device. It is easy to use and is conducive to the disassembly and assembly of the photovoltaic component.

[0036] The technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0037] The present application provides a support rod for replacing a flexible support photovoltaic assembly, referring to Figure 1 The support rod for replacing the flexible bracket photovoltaic component includes a telescopic component 100 and two claws 200. The two claws 200 are used to clamp on the adjacent photovoltaic components on both sides of the photovoltaic component to be replaced. The two claws 200 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the telescopic component 100. The telescopic component 100 is configured to drive the two claws 200 to slide in a direction close to or away from each other.

[0038] By adopting the above technical solution, when the flexible photovoltaic bracket needs to replace the photovoltaic components, the claws 200 are placed on both sides of the photovoltaic components to be replaced, and are respectively engaged with the adjacent photovoltaic components on both sides of the photovoltaic components to be replaced, and the distance between the two claws 200 is adjusted by the telescopic component 100, so that the two claws 200 move in opposite directions away from each other, and abut against the photovoltaic components on both sides to form support for the photovoltaic components on both sides of the photovoltaic components to be replaced, so as to offset the pressure of the photovoltaic components, thereby facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the photovoltaic components. After the replacement of the photovoltaic components is completed, the two claws 200 are driven to slide in the direction of approaching each other by the telescopic component 100 to facilitate the removal of the support rod device.

[0039] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 The telescopic assembly 100 includes an adjusting tube 110 and two supporting rods 120 . The two supporting rods 120 are respectively threadedly connected to both ends of the adjusting tube 110 , and the claws 200 are correspondingly connected to one end of the supporting rod 120 away from the adjusting tube 110 .

[0040] The adjusting tube 110 is a hollow round tube, and an internal thread is provided in the adjusting tube 110. The two supporting rods 120 are provided with external threads, and the two supporting rods 120 are respectively threadedly connected to the two sides of the adjusting tube 110. When in use, the position of the supporting rod 120 can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting rod or the supporting rod 120, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position of the claw 200.

[0041] Furthermore, the external threads on the two support rods 120 have opposite rotation directions, and the adjustment tube 110 is connected with the external threads of the support rods 120 in a cooperative manner.

[0042] The external threads of the two support rods 120 have opposite rotation directions, so that the internal threads at both ends of the adjusting tube 110 have opposite rotation directions. When in use, you only need to rotate the adjusting tube 110 to synchronously adjust the positions of the two support rods 120, thereby achieving synchronous removal or synchronous retraction of the two support rods 120, making the adjustment faster and more convenient.

[0043] The adjusting tube 110 and the supporting rod 120 are both made of high-strength stainless steel to reduce corrosion of the adjusting tube 110 and the supporting rod 120 .

[0044] In other embodiments, the telescopic assembly 100 may also be a telescopic rod, which is a symmetrical double-headed telescopic rod, and the two claws 200 are respectively mounted on the two ends of the telescopic rod to achieve relative movement of the two claws 200. The telescopic rod is driven by a hydraulic or electric push rod.

[0045] In addition, the two claws 200 can also be symmetrically installed on both sides of the telescopic assembly 100, and the telescopic assembly 100 only drives the claw 200 on one side to move in a direction away from or close to the other claw 200.

[0046] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The claw 200 includes a first limiting portion 210, a second limiting portion 220 and a connecting portion 230. The first limiting portion 210 and the second limiting portion 220 are respectively connected to the two ends of the connecting portion 230 to form a slot for clamping the photovoltaic component. The connecting portion 230 is connected to the support rod 120.

[0047] The first limiting portion 210 and the second limiting portion 220 are perpendicular to the connecting portion 230, and form a slot for clamping the photovoltaic module with the connecting portion 230. The first limiting portion 210 is welded and fixed to the connecting portion 230, and the second limiting portion 220 is welded and fixed to the other end of the connecting portion 230. The first limiting portion 210, the second limiting portion 220 and the connecting portion 230 are all welded and fixed with high-strength threaded steel.

[0048] In other embodiments, the second limiting portion 220 is hinged at the end of the connecting portion 230, and a third limiting portion 221 is provided on the side of the second limiting portion 220 away from the first limiting portion 210. When the third limiting portion 221 abuts against the connecting portion 230, the second limiting portion 220 is perpendicular to the connecting portion 230.

[0049] The hinge axis of the second limiting portion 220 is perpendicular to the plane formed by the first limiting portion 210 and the connecting portion 230. The second limiting portion 220 has two states. In the first state, the second limiting portion 220 is parallel to the connecting portion 230, so that the connecting portion 230 can be inserted between two photovoltaic modules during use; in the second state, the second limiting portion 220 is perpendicular to the connecting portion 230 to form a slot for clamping the photovoltaic module, reducing the possibility of the claw 200 being separated from the photovoltaic module.

[0050] For example, refer to Figure 3 The third limiting portion 221 is a square block, and the third limiting portion 221 is welded and fixed on the second limiting portion 220 . The bottom plane of the third limiting portion 221 is flush with the bottom of the second limiting portion 220 .

[0051] For example, refer to Figure 4 The third limiting portion 221 can be set as a slope, and the end of the connecting portion 230 is also set as a slope adapted to the third limiting portion 221. When the slope of the third limiting portion 221 abuts against the slope of the connecting portion 230, the second limiting portion 220 is perpendicular to the connecting portion 230 to limit the rotation of the second limiting portion 220, which is beneficial to the clamping of the photovoltaic component.

[0052] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The connecting portion 230 is provided with a placement groove 231 for placing the second limiting portion 220 . When the second limiting portion 220 is placed in the placement groove 231 , the second limiting portion 220 is parallel to the connecting portion 230 .

[0053] The placement groove 231 is arranged along the length direction of the connection part 230. When the second limit part 220 rotates to abut against the bottom of the placement groove 231, the second limit part 220 is completely embedded in the connection part 230. By setting the placement groove 231, the thickness of the second limit part 220 after folding is reduced, so that the connection part 230 can be plugged between two photovoltaic modules. In addition, the third limit part 221 is located at the hinge of the second limit part 220, so that the third limit part 221 is located in the placement groove 231. When the second limit part 220 is perpendicular to the connection part 230, the third limit part 221 abuts against the bottom of the placement groove 231, thereby limiting the continued rotation of the second limit part 220 and achieving the clamping effect of the claw 200.

[0054] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 An extension rod 300 is provided on the support rod 120 , and the claw 200 is connected to one end of the extension rod 300 away from the support rod 120 , and an angle is formed between the extension rod 300 and the support rod 120 .

[0055] The extension rod 300 is made of high-strength stainless steel. One end of the extension rod 300 is connected to the end of the support rod 120, and the other end is connected to the claw 200, and there is an angle between the extension rod 300 and the support rod 120. Thus, a space for placing the photovoltaic component to be replaced is formed between the two extension rods 300, so as to reduce the obstruction of the photovoltaic component to be replaced to the device when the device is used.

[0056] Further, the extension rod 300 is perpendicular to the support rod 120, and the two extension rods 300 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the adjustment tube 110. In other embodiments, the angle between the extension rod 300 and the support rod 120 can be changed according to actual needs, and no excessive restrictions are made here.

[0057] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 The support rod for replacing the flexible bracket photovoltaic module also includes a locking piece 400, which includes a locking bolt. A plurality of locking holes 112 are opened on the adjustment tube 110, and the locking bolt is threadedly connected in the locking hole 112 and abuts against the support rod 120.

[0058] A plurality of locking holes 112 are provided at both ends of the adjusting tube 110 , and the locking holes 112 are penetrated into the adjusting tube 110 . The locking bolts pass through the locking holes 112 and abut against the support rod 120 , thereby further fixing the support rod 120 .

[0059] In some embodiments, an anti-slip layer is disposed on the claw 200 .

[0060] The anti-skid layer is a rubber layer, and the anti-skid layer is bonded to the first limit portion 210, the connection portion 230 and the second limit portion 220 for clamping one side of the photovoltaic component. The provision of the anti-skid layer further reduces the possibility of the photovoltaic component being separated from the clamping claw 200, and reduces the possibility of damaging the photovoltaic component during the process of the clamping claw 200 abutting against the photovoltaic component, thus achieving a certain protective effect.

[0061] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 The adjusting tube 110 is provided with an adjusting handle 111 for rotating the adjusting tube 110 .

[0062] The adjusting handle 111 is a circular ring, which is welded and fixed to the middle of the adjusting tube 110 . Moreover, the adjusting tube 110 is arranged along the diameter direction of the adjusting handle 111 to divide the adjusting handle 111 into two semicircles, so as to facilitate the operator to rotate the adjusting tube 110 .

[0063] The present application provides a support rod for replacing a photovoltaic component of a flexible bracket. When the flexible photovoltaic bracket needs to replace the photovoltaic component, the claws 200 are placed on both sides of the photovoltaic component that needs to be replaced, and the distance between the two claws 200 is adjusted by the telescopic component 100, so that the two claws 200 move in opposite directions away from each other to support the photovoltaic components on both sides of the photovoltaic component to be replaced, so as to offset the pressure of the photovoltaic components, thereby facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the photovoltaic components.
