Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model is applicable to the technical field of large - area photovoltaic module installation, and particularly relates to a suspended working platform for installing photovoltaic modules. Background Art

[0002] Generally, when the installation height of photovoltaic modules exceeds 1.5 m, scaffolding is needed for auxiliary installation. When the height of the scaffolding exceeds 2 m, it is recognized as high - altitude operation. Operators need to tie safety belts, which will limit the working space of the operators and reduce work efficiency. Most photovoltaic plants have large areas and a large number of photovoltaic modules to be installed. Therefore, during the installation process of photovoltaic modules, the scaffolding needs to be frequently disassembled, moved, and assembled, which will cause a reduction in installation efficiency. Moreover, it takes a long time to install the legs of the scaffolding on uneven mountainous areas, which will greatly affect the installation efficiency of photovoltaic modules. This leads to an extended construction period, an increase in labor and material costs, and a significant increase in construction costs and labor costs.

[0003] The scaffolding also has problems such as heavy weight and a large number of parts required. When purchasing or renting scaffolding, it may be necessary to hire a professional for guidance, which invisibly increases the construction cost. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the utility model is as follows:

It includes two groups of working platform components and a bearing component; the bottoms of the two groups of working platform components are connected by the bearing component; the tops of the two groups of working platform components are connected to the purlin.

[0007] Each group of the working platform components includes a suspension component and a connection component; the connection component is connected to the upper end of the suspension component, the bottom of the suspension component is connected to the bearing component, and the connection component is suspended on the photovoltaic support purlin; a tool basket is connected to the suspension component.

[0008] The suspension component is a right - angled triangle bracket structure, including a long right - angled side, a short right - angled side, and a hypotenuse.

[0010] The connecting component includes a steel bar hook and a safety lock. The steel bar hook is an integral structure composed of a vertical section and an inverted U-shaped bent section. The free end of the vertical section is connected to the suspension component; the free end of the hooked bent section is connected to the safety lock.

[0011] The steel bar hook is an integral structure formed by bending a 10# round steel.

[0012] The bearing component is fixed on the inner edge of the bottom of the suspension component. The bearing component is a 10# rectangular channel steel, and both ends of the bearing component extend out of both sides of the suspension component by no less than 200 mm; brackets for placing photovoltaic panels are installed at both ends of the bearing component.

[0013] At least two sets of suspended working platforms are provided, and adjacent two sets of suspended photovoltaic module installation working platforms are detachably connected into one body through a connecting mechanism fixed at both ends of the bearing component.

[0016] Beneficial effects:

[0017] (1) The utility model is applicable to fixed photovoltaic brackets for front and rear columns of double-row piles installed horizontally in 4 rows or vertically in 2 rows.

[0027] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, rather than all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the utility model without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0028] Embodiment:

[0029] As shown in the present utility model Figures 1 - 3 , the entire suspended working platform is hung on the purlin 4 of the fixed photovoltaic support at the uppermost part through the connecting component 2, especially on the purlin 4 of the fixed photovoltaic support with double-row piles of front and rear columns horizontally installed in 4 rows or vertically installed in 2 rows; it includes two sets of working platform components and a bearing component 3; the bottoms of the two sets of working platform components are connected through the bearing component 3; the tops of the two sets of working platform components are connected to the purlin 4.

[0030] Furthermore, the working platform component includes a suspension component 1 and a connecting component 2; the connecting component 2 is connected to the upper end of the suspension component 1, the bottom of the suspension component 1 is connected to the bearing component 3, and the connecting component 2 is suspended on the purlin 4 of the photovoltaic support; a tool basket is connected to the suspension component 1.

[0031] In some embodiments, the suspension component 1 is a right triangle bracket structure, including a long right-angled side, a short right-angled side, and a hypotenuse. The long right-angled side is vertically connected to the short right-angled side, and the hypotenuse is connected to the long right-angled side and the short right-angled side; the long right-angled side is vertically arranged with the ground, and the top end of the long right-angled side is connected to the connecting component 2; the short right-angled side is horizontally arranged, and the short right-angled side is connected to the bearing component 3.

[0032] The suspension component is welded by C-shaped steel and presents a standard right triangle bracket. The length of the right-angled side perpendicular to the ground of the suspension component is determined by the height of the purlin at the uppermost end of the photovoltaic support from the ground. The higher the height from the ground, the longer the side length of the right-angled side perpendicular to the ground in the suspension component. The final length should ensure that the height of the inner edge of the bottom side from the ground is 1.5 - 1.8 m when the suspended working platform is suspended on the photovoltaic support. The length of the right-angled side parallel to the ground of the suspension component is selected according to the number and width of 10# channel steels, and the connection between the channel steels when buckled and welded and the inner edge of the bottom side of the suspension component should be as tight as possible. The number of suspension components configured for the suspended working platform is selected according to the width of one span of the photovoltaic support. If the distance of one span of the photovoltaic support, that is, the distance between two rear columns 5 of the photovoltaic support, is too long, the construction personnel can decide to add the number of suspension components by themselves. Generally, the number of suspension components is two, and they are suspended at the positions of the two rear columns. Tools used during installation can be placed in the tool basket for easy taking and placing. The setting of the handle makes the construction personnel safer during construction.

[0033] Furthermore, the connecting component 2 includes a steel bar hook and a safety lock 6. The connecting component 2 includes a steel bar hook and a safety lock 6. The steel bar hook is an integral structure composed of a vertical section and an inverted U-shaped bent section. The free end of the vertical section is connected to the suspension component 1; the free end of the bent section hook is connected to the safety lock 6.

[0034] The end of the suspension assembly 1 is welded to the inverted U-shaped steel bar connecting assembly 2 bent from 10# round steel. The bending radius of the inverted U-shaped steel bar is processed according to the inclination of the on-site photovoltaic support, aiming to maximize the contact area between the connecting assembly 2 and the top photovoltaic support purlin 4 of the photovoltaic support when the suspended working platform is hung; in addition, it can ensure to the greatest extent that when the suspended working platform is suspended on the photovoltaic support, the two right-angled sides of the suspension assembly 1 are perpendicular and parallel to the ground respectively. The end of the steel bar hook of the connecting assembly 2 is reinforced with steel bars, and a safety lock 6 is installed at one end of the U-shaped steel bar.

[0035] The safety lock 6 in this embodiment can be freely opened and closed. When the suspended working platform is suspended on the top purlin of the photovoltaic support, fastening the safety lock 6 can ensure construction safety to the greatest extent. Any safety lock 6 that can achieve its function in the prior art is applicable.

[0036] In some embodiments, at least two sets of suspended working platforms are provided, and adjacent two suspended photovoltaic module installation working platforms are detachably connected into one body through a connecting mechanism fixed at both ends of the bearing assembly 3. When carrying out some construction, if the length of a suspended working platform cannot meet the requirements, two or even more suspended photovoltaic module installation working platforms can be combined and connected according to actual needs, so as to meet the actual needs of construction. Especially when expanding the present utility model to other projects for use, it is more convenient.

[0037] Furthermore, the connecting mechanism includes two pairs of connecting ears and a bolt assembly; the connecting ear is a rectangular plate; the plate surface of the connecting ear is perpendicular to the axis of the bearing assembly 3, and the height of the connecting ear is greater than the height of the bearing assembly 3; through holes for the bolt assembly to pass through are opened at the top of each pair of connecting ears.

[0038] When splicing adjacent two suspended photovoltaic module installation working platforms by using the connecting mechanism in the present technical solution, as long as the through holes on the connecting ears of the left and right two suspended photovoltaic module installation working platforms are aligned, insert the bolt assembly and tighten it to complete the assembly, which is simple and convenient.

[0039] In some embodiments, the connecting mechanism includes U-shaped steel members and a bolt assembly; two pairs of U-shaped steel members are provided, and the two pairs of U-shaped steel members are respectively fixedly connected to both ends of the bearing assembly 3, and the opening of one end of the U-shaped steel member faces upward, and the opening of the U-shaped steel member at the other end faces downward; through holes for the bolt assembly to pass through are correspondingly opened on the two side wings of the U-shaped steel member.

[0040] The adoption of the above technical solution can be freely combined according to the actual length requirements to meet the construction needs in different environments.

[0041] In some embodiments, the carrying component 3 is fixed on the inner edge of the bottom of the suspension component 1. The carrying component 3 is a 10# rectangular channel steel. The inner edge of the bottom side of the triangular suspension component penetrates through more than two pieces of 10# channel steel that are reliably welded as the carrying component. It provides an operating platform for operators, and the overall width is sufficient for operators to stand. The two ends of the carrying component extend no less than 200 mm beyond both sides of the suspension component. This design is to avoid accidents caused by the welding of the channel steel coming loose. Bracket frames 7 for placing photovoltaic brackets are installed at both ends of the carrying component 3. Photovoltaic panels can be placed according to the number of photovoltaic panels required on the photovoltaic bracket, saving the frequency of manual handling of photovoltaic panels. One-time handling in place saves handling time and at the same time speeds up the installation efficiency.

[0042] In the case of no conflict, those skilled in the art can combine the relevant technical features in the above examples according to the actual situation to achieve the corresponding technical effects. Specific combinations will not be elaborated one by one here.

[0043] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement conditions between components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0044] As mentioned above, these are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. The present invention will not be limited to these embodiments shown herein, but rather to the broadest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
