Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic tracking structures, in particular to a wireless communication antenna installation structure and a flat single-axis photovoltaic tracking system. Background Art

[0002] A flat single-axis tracking bracket refers to a bracket that rotates around an axis and tracks the sun. The axis of this straight line can be in the north-south direction or the east-west direction. The power generation is higher in the north-south direction, so the axis of the flat single-axis tracking bracket is generally in the north-south direction.

[0003] The flat single-axis tracking bracket needs to rotate during operation to track the bracket, ensure better reception of sunlight and improve power generation efficiency. However, the inventors have found that in the existing flat single-axis photovoltaic tracking system, the wireless communication antenna rotates with the rotation of the flat single-axis tracking bracket, causing the wireless communication antenna to be blocked, thereby causing signal problems.

[0033] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the wireless communication antenna installation structure 100 provided in this embodiment. Figure 1 This embodiment provides a wireless communication antenna installation structure 100, and also provides a flat single-axis photovoltaic tracking system (not shown).

[0034] The flat single-axis photovoltaic tracking system includes a wireless communication antenna installation structure 100, and also includes a column and a photovoltaic module. The column is a support structure for rotating and supporting a square tube 110, and its lower end is used to connect to the ground and other parts, and its upper end is rotatably connected to the square tube 110 through a bearing and other structures, thereby realizing the rotation support of the square tube 110. The photovoltaic module is installed on the square tube 110, so that it rotates under the drive of the square tube 110 to track sunlight.

[0035] The wireless communication antenna mounting structure 100 includes a square tube 110, a mounting structure 120 and a wireless communication antenna 150. The square tube 110 is used to mount the photovoltaic module and to drive the photovoltaic module to rotate. The mounting structure 120 is mounted on one axial end of the square tube 110, and the wireless communication antenna 150 is mounted on the mounting structure 120, and the axis of the wireless communication antenna 150 is colinear with the rotation axis of the square tube 110. In this way, during the rotation of the square tube 110, the orientation and height of the wireless communication antenna 150 can remain unchanged, thereby ensuring that the radiation characteristics of the wireless communication antenna 150 will not change with the rotation of the photovoltaic tracking bracket, solving the problem of blocking the antenna signal caused by the rotation of the photovoltaic tracking bracket.

[0036] The wireless communication antenna installation structure 100 provided in this embodiment is further described below:

[0037] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 The square tube 110 is a hollow tubular member with a square cross section, and the two axial ends of the square tube 110 are open. The mounting structure 120 is mounted at one end of the square tube 110, so that a mounting position is formed at the intersection of the end surface of one end of the square tube 110 and the rotation axis, so that the axis of the wireless communication antenna 150 mounted at this position can be coaxially arranged with the rotation axis of the square tube 110.

[0038] It should be noted that the rotation axis of the square tube 110 does not necessarily coincide with the axis of the square tube 110 itself. The rotation axis can be another straight line parallel to the axis of the square tube 110 itself set according to needs. Therefore, the rotation axis does not necessarily pass through the intersection of the two diagonals on the cross section of the square tube 110.

[0039] In this embodiment, the mounting structure 120 includes a mounting seat 127 and a clamp fixing structure 121. The mounting seat 127 includes a first arm 128, a mounting arm 129, and a second arm 130 connected in sequence. The first arm 128 is arranged above the square tube 110, the second arm 130 is arranged below the square tube 110, and the mounting arm 129 is located on one side of the axial direction of the square tube 110. In this way, a mounting position intersecting with the rotation axis is formed by the mounting arm 129, and the wireless communication antenna 150 is installed at the mounting position. The clamp fixing structure 121 is clamped on the square tube 110, and the first arm 128 and the second arm 130 are clamped and fixed on the square tube 110.

[0040] Specifically, the mounting seat 127 is a U-shaped structural member, the first arm 128 and the second arm 130 are arranged at a relative interval, the mounting arm 129 is arranged between the first arm 128 and the second arm 130, and the two ends of the mounting arm 129 are respectively connected to the first arm 128 and the second arm 130. The first arm 128, the mounting arm 129 and the second arm 130 are all strip-shaped plate-like members, the first arm 128 is attached to the top of the square tube 110, the second arm 130 is attached to the bottom of the square tube 110, and the first arm 128 and the second arm 130 are clamped and fixed on the square tube 110 by the clamp fixing structure 121.

[0041] The clamp fixing structure 121 is an annular structure with an adjustable middle through hole size. It is sleeved on the outer circumference of the square tube 110, and the size of its middle through hole is adjusted so that the clamp fixing structure 121 and the square tube 110 are fixed, thereby clamping and fixing the first arm 128 and the second arm 130 located between the clamp fixing structure 121 and the square tube 110.

[0042] It should be noted that in the description of this embodiment, the "ring" mentioned here refers to a circumferentially closed structure, which is not limited to a circular ring shape. At the same time, since the clamp fixing structure 121 is used to sleeve the square tube 110, in this embodiment, the clamp fixing structure 121 is a square ring shape.

[0043] Furthermore, the clamp fixing structure 121 includes a square tube clamp 122 and a fixing base 123 connected to each other. The square tube clamp 122 has a U-shaped bayonet with an opening at the lower end, in which the square tube 110 is clamped, and the fixing base 123 is fixedly installed with the square tube clamp 122, thereby closing the lower end opening of the bayonet to form a circumferentially closed annular structure.

[0044] Specifically, the square tube clamp 122 is a structure formed by bending a strip-shaped piece with a circular cross section, and two free ends of the square tube clamp 122 are fixedly connected to the fixed base 123 .

[0045] Optionally, the fixed base 123 is arranged below the square tube 110, so that after the clamp fixing structure 121 is fixedly installed on the square tube 110, the second arm 130 is clamped between the fixed base 123 and the lower end surface of the square tube 110, and correspondingly, the first arm 128 is clamped between the square tube clamp 122 and the upper end surface of the square tube 110.

[0046] Furthermore, the fixed base 123 includes a first connecting plate 124, a second connecting plate 125, and a third connecting plate 126 connected to each other. The first connecting plate 124 and the square tube clamp 122 are installed and fixed, and the lower end opening of the square tube clamp 122 is closed by the first connecting plate 124. The third connecting plate 126 is located at the lower side of the first connecting plate 124, and the third connecting plate 126 is used to install the signal receiver 160.

[0047] Specifically, the fixed base 123 is U-shaped, the first connecting plate 124 and the third connecting plate 126 are arranged relatively spaced apart, the second connecting plate 125 is arranged between the first connecting plate 124 and the third connecting plate 126, and the two ends of the second connecting plate 125 are respectively fixedly connected to the first connecting plate 124 and the third connecting plate 126. The signal receiver 160 is installed on the third connecting plate 126 and is located on a side of the third connecting plate 126 away from the first connecting plate 124, that is, on the lower side of the third connecting plate 126.

[0048] Optionally, the free end of the square tube clamp 122 has a threaded portion, and a through hole is provided on the fixed base 123, and the threaded portion passes through the through hole and is connected with a bolt, so that the square tube clamp 122 is fixedly connected to the fixed base 123. Specifically, the through hole is provided on the first connecting plate 124, and during installation, the two free ends of the square tube clamp 122 pass through the through hole, thereby being inserted into the lower side of the first connecting plate 124, and then the nuts 131 are screwed on the two free ends of the square tube clamp 122, so that the square tube clamp 122 and the fixed base 123 are locked by the nuts 131. It can be understood that in some other embodiments, the above structure can also be used to achieve the fixed connection between the square tube clamp 122 and the fixed base 123.

[0049] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the wireless communication antenna 150 provided in this embodiment. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the wireless communication antenna 150 has a magnetic attraction portion 151, and the magnetic attraction portion 151 is magnetically fixed on the mounting structure 120. Therefore, in this embodiment, at least a part of the mounting structure 120 is made of a magnetically attractive metal material.

[0050] Specifically, the wireless communication antenna 150 has a disc-shaped magnetic attraction portion 151 and an antenna body 152. The magnetic attraction portion 151 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the antenna body 152. The antenna body 152 is a cone-like structure with a cross-sectional size gradually decreasing from the bottom to the top. The antenna body 152 is coaxially arranged with the magnetic attraction portion 151, so the "axis of the wireless communication antenna 150" mentioned above in this embodiment is the axis of the antenna body 152.

[0051] It should be noted that the specific structure of the magnetic attraction portion 151 is not set here. It is understandable that in some other embodiments, the structure of the magnetic attraction portion 151 can also be set according to needs. The wireless communication antenna 150 is installed on the installation structure 120 through the magnetic attraction of the magnetic attraction portion 151, which makes the installation easier and faster.

[0052] Furthermore, in order to prevent the wireless communication antenna 150 from moving relative to the square tube 110 during the rotation of the square tube 110, thereby causing the axis of the wireless communication antenna 150 to not coincide with the rotation axis of the square tube 110, the wireless communication antenna mounting structure 100 further includes a stopper 140 mounted on the mounting structure 120. The stopper 140 is fixedly connected to the mounting structure 120 and stops the wireless communication antenna 150 so that the position of the wireless communication antenna 150 is fixed relative to the square tube 110 during the rotation of the square tube 110. Optionally, the stopper 140 has a stopper groove 144 with an upper opening, and the stopper groove 144 is clamped below the wireless communication antenna 150 to prevent the wireless communication antenna 150 from moving relative to the square tube 110.

[0053] Specifically, the limiting member 140 has a first connection portion 141, a second connection portion 142 and a limiting portion 143. The second connection portion 142 is installed between the first connection portion 141 and the limiting portion 143, and the first connection portion 141 and the limiting portion 143 are bent toward the two sides of the second connection portion 142. The first connection portion 141 is fixedly installed on the mounting arm 129 of the fixed structure by a fastening bolt 145, and the first connection portion 141 is fitted and fixed to the mounting arm 129. The limiting portion 143 is spaced relative to the mounting arm 129, and a limiting groove 144 with an upper end opening is provided on the limiting portion 143. During installation, the magnetic attraction portion 151 is magnetically attracted to the mounting arm 129, and the wireless communication antenna 150 is moved downward relative to the limiting member 140 until the antenna body 152 is inserted into the limiting groove 144 from the upper end opening of the limiting groove 144, thereby limiting the wireless communication antenna.

[0054] Optionally, the limit member 140 can be set to a structure with an adjustable installation position with the installation structure 120, so that the installation position of the limit member 140 can be adjusted according to the specific position of the rotation axis of the square tube 110, so that the axis of the wireless communication antenna 150 after being limited by the limit member 140 is collinear with the rotation axis of the square tube 110.

[0055] The wireless communication antenna installation structure 100 and the flat single-axis photovoltaic tracking system provided by the embodiment of the utility model set the axis of the wireless communication antenna 150 to be colinear with the rotation axis of the square tube 110, so that during the rotation of the square tube 110, the orientation and height of the wireless communication antenna 150 remain unchanged, thereby ensuring that the radiation characteristics of the wireless communication antenna 150 will not change with the rotation of the square tube 110, and solving the problem of blocking the antenna signal caused by the rotation of the square tube 110. In addition, through the structural setting of the installation structure 120 and the limiter 140, the installation stability of the wireless communication antenna 150 is guaranteed, effectively avoiding the problem of displacement of the wireless communication antenna 150 during operation, and the wireless communication antenna 150 is convenient and quick to install.

[0056] The above is only a specific implementation of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by any technician familiar with the technology in this field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
