[0002] In recent years, mankind has made great progress in the research and application of solar power generation technology. Large and medium-sized solar photovoltaic power stations provide centralized power supply solutions for areas with insufficient power supply, while small independent solar photovoltaic power sources meet the basic electricity needs of remote and secluded areas that are difficult to cover by the power grid. Different from the photovoltaic module installation method of large and medium-sized photovoltaic power stations, such small independent solar power sources need to provide suitable photovoltaic module installation solutions. The existing small independent solar power sources mostly use metal component brackets for their photovoltaic modules.

Since the limiting protrusion and the upper surface of the plate body form the component accommodating groove, when the photovoltaic module is installed on the support plate, the bottom end of the photovoltaic module is clamped by the limiting protrusion, which effectively avoids the photovoltaic module from shifting under the action of its own gravity, and effectively improves the installation stability of the photovoltaic module.

[0004] The above patent effectively avoids the situation where the photovoltaic modules are displaced under the action of their own gravity, and effectively improves the installation stability of the photovoltaic modules. However, after the photovoltaic modules are installed, the angle of the photovoltaic modules cannot be adjusted according to the angle of sunlight, and the photovoltaic modules cannot be adjusted to the optimal light-receiving position, which reduces the power generation efficiency. Therefore, a photovoltaic module bracket is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] See also Figure 1 A photovoltaic module bracket in this embodiment includes a substrate 1, a base 2 is arranged above the substrate 1, and a photovoltaic module 3 is arranged above the base 2. The photovoltaic module 3 is a common device in the prior art. The use method and working principle of the photovoltaic module 3 are well-known technologies in the prior art and will not be described in detail in this article. An angle adjustment mechanism 4 is arranged on the upper surface of the base 2, and a rotating component 5 is arranged on the upper surface of the substrate 1.

[0024] It should be noted that the components of the present application are all universal standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art, and their structures and principles can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods.

[0025] See also Figure 2-3In order to adjust the light receiving angle of the photovoltaic module 3, the angle adjustment mechanism 4 in this embodiment includes two side support plates 401 vertically fixed on the upper surface of the base 2, and a rotating shaft 402 is rotatably connected between the opposite sides of the front and rear side support plates 401 through a bearing. A cylinder 403 is provided on the upper surface of the base 2, and a transmission rod 404 driven by the cylinder 403 to perform linear motion up and down is fixed to the outer side of the piston rod of the cylinder 403. A slide groove 405 is opened on the lower surface of the photovoltaic module 3, and a slider 406 is slidably connected inside the slide groove 405.

[0026] One end of the transmission rod 404 away from the cylinder 403 is hinged to the lower surface of the slider 406 through a hinge frame.

[0027] The photovoltaic assembly 3 is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating shaft 402 , and the photovoltaic assembly 3 is located between the opposite sides of the front and rear side support plates 401 .

[0028] A protective cover is provided on the upper surface of the base 2 , and the cylinder 403 is located inside the protective cover, so that the protective cover plays a role in protecting the cylinder 403 .

[0029] It can be understood that when the transmission rod 404 moves upward, it drives the slider 406 to slide inside the slide groove 405, and the photovoltaic component 3 rotates clockwise around the rotating shaft 402. When the transmission rod 404 moves downward, it drives the slider 406 to slide inside the slide groove 405, and the photovoltaic component 3 rotates counterclockwise around the rotating shaft 402.

[0030] See also Figure 4 In order to change the light receiving direction of the photovoltaic component 3, the rotating component 5 in this embodiment includes a battery 501 arranged on the upper surface of the substrate 1, the upper surface of the substrate 1 is rotatably connected to a shaft 502 through a bearing, the outer surface of the shaft 502 is sleeved with a gear ring 503, the upper surface of the substrate 1 is fixed with a driving motor 504, and the outer surface of the output shaft of the driving motor 504 is fixed with a gear 505.

[0031] The gear 505 is meshed with the gear ring 503 , and one end of the shaft 502 away from the substrate 1 is fixed to the lower surface of the base 2 .

[0032] A limit rod is fixed on the lower surface of the base 2, and a limit block is fixed on the end of the limit rod away from the base 2. An annular guide rail for the limit block to slide is provided on the upper surface of the base plate 1. When the base 2 rotates, the limit rod and the limit block are driven to rotate at the same time. At this time, the limit block slides inside the annular guide rail, which improves the stability of the base 2 during rotation.

[0033] The standard parts used in this application can all be purchased from the market, and special-shaped parts can be customized according to the instructions and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional means such as mature bolts, rivets and welding in the existing technology. The machinery, parts and equipment all adopt conventional models in the existing technology, and the circuit connection adopts the conventional connection method in the existing technology, which will not be described in detail here.

[0034] If the present application discloses or involves components or structures that are fixedly connected to each other, then, unless otherwise stated, the fixed connection can be understood as: a detachable fixed connection (for example, connection using bolts or screws), and can also be understood as: a non-detachable fixed connection (for example, riveting, welding). Of course, the mutual fixed connection can also be replaced by an integrated structure (for example, manufactured by one-piece molding using a casting process) (except where it is obviously not possible to use an one-piece molding process).

[0035] The working principle of the above embodiment is:

[0036] (1) When the photovoltaic module support is needed, since the direction of sunlight is different during the day, in order to ensure the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic module 3, it is necessary to adjust the light receiving direction of the photovoltaic module 3. At this time, the drive motor 504 is started, and the drive motor 504 drives the gear 505 to start rotating. The rotation of the gear 505 drives the gear ring 503 to start rotating. The rotation of the gear ring 503 drives the shaft 502 to start rotating. The rotation of the shaft 502 drives the base 2, the side support plate 401, the shaft 402 and the photovoltaic module 3 to start rotating. As the photovoltaic module 3 rotates, the light receiving direction is adjusted.

[0037] (2) Since the angle of sunlight exposure varies in different seasons, in order to ensure that the photovoltaic module 3 is located at the optimal light receiving angle, the angle of the photovoltaic module 3 needs to be adjusted. At this time, the cylinder 403 is started, and the cylinder 403 drives the transmission rod 404 to move upward or downward. When the transmission rod 404 moves upward, it drives the slider 406 to slide inside the slide groove 405. At this time, the photovoltaic module 3 rotates clockwise around the rotating shaft 402. When the transmission rod 404 moves downward, it drives the slider 406 to slide inside the slide groove 405. At this time, the photovoltaic module 3 rotates counterclockwise around the rotating shaft 402. As the photovoltaic module 3 rotates, the light receiving angle of the photovoltaic module 3 is adjusted.

[0038] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the sentence "comprise a ..." do not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the elements.
