Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to photovoltaic power generation, and particularly to a tensioning device and a flexible photovoltaic tracking system. Background Art
[0002] A flexible photovoltaic tracking system is a flexible photovoltaic support system that can automatically track the sun and improve the overall power generation, and is widely used in the field of photovoltaic power generation.

A groove is provided at the top of the truss, a photovoltaic module plate is installed on the bottom surface of the groove, and mirror reflectors are installed on both side surfaces of the groove. The truss is dragged by the dragging mechanism to rotate following the movement of the sun, and the photovoltaic module plate receives direct sunlight and reflected light from the mirror reflectors. This utility model gives full play to the advantageous combination of the tracking support and the low-concentration structure, and by significantly improving the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic module plate, achieves the economic goals of reducing the cost per kilowatt-hour of the power station and increasing the return on investment of the project. Its disadvantage is that a counterweight is used to tighten the steel wire rope. Since the weight of the counterweight is a fixed value, if the weight is too small, it is easy to cause the steel wire rope to not be tightened; if the weight is too large, it is easy to cause the tension of the steel wire rope to be too large. At the same time, under the action of wind, the vibration of the steel wire rope and the vibration of the counterweight have a superimposed phenomenon, which impacts the steel wire rope and is not conducive to the long-term stable operation of this concentrating tracking support power generation unit.

[0032] Specifically, the installation box 3 is used to protect the first pull rod 1, the second pull rod 2 and the elastic member 4, so as to increase the service life of the elastic member 4; the first pull rod 1 is supported by one end of the installation box 3, and the first pull rod 1 is used to connect the first steel wire rope 71; the second pull rod 2 is supported by the other end of the installation box 3, and the second pull rod 2 is used to connect the length adjustment component 5; the elastic member 4 is used to enable the second pull rod 2 and the other end of the installation box 3 to achieve an active tension connection, and the material of the elastic member 4 can be rubber, spring steel, etc.; the other end of the length adjustment component 5 is used to connect the second steel wire rope 72, and the second steel wire rope 72 is away from the length One end of the length adjustment component 5 is connected to the end of the first wire rope 71 away from the first pull rod 1, so that the second wire rope 72 and the first wire rope 71 are enclosed and connected to form an integral wire rope group 7. Before use, the compression state of the elastic member 4 is changed by adjusting the length of the length adjustment component 5 itself. When in use, the elastic member 4 is used to automatically adjust the tensioning force on the wire rope group 7, so that the wire rope group 7 is always in a tensioned state. The elastic member 4 is also used to absorb the impact of external vibration on the wire rope group 7, so as to prevent impact on the wire rope group 7. Among them, the length adjustment component 5 can be a basket bolt, a basket screw, etc.
[0033] Further, such as Figure 3 , further comprising a guide assembly 6 connected to one end of the second pull rod 2, the guide assembly 6 and the inner wall of the installation box 3 are movably matched, and one end of the elastic member 4 is in conflict with the guide assembly 6. Specifically, since the guide assembly 6 and the inner wall of the installation box 3 are movably matched, it is convenient for the installation box 3 to produce a radial limiting effect on the guide assembly 6, thereby producing a radial limiting effect on the elastic member 4, preventing the elastic member 4 from jumping along the radial direction when expanding and contracting.
[0034] Further, such as Figure 3 The guide assembly 6 includes: a bottom plate 62 connected to one end of the second pull rod 2, one end of the elastic member 4 abuts against the bottom plate 62; four guide plates 61 connected to the bottom plate 62, and the four guide plates 61 are all movably matched with the inner wall of the installation box 3.

[0036] Further, as Figure 3 , the mounting box 3 further includes two extension plates 33 respectively connected to both sides of the box body 31, and both extension plates 33 are connected to the cover body 32. Specifically, the two extension plates 33 are convenient for increasing the connection area between the box body 31 and the cover body 32, so that the connection between the box body 31 and the cover body 32 is firm. When vibration occurs, the box body 31 and the cover body 32 are not likely to be misaligned with each other, and are even less likely to be separated from each other. Among them, the two extension plates 33 are preferably integrally formed and bent and connected to both sides of the box body 31, which is convenient for increasing the integrity of the box body 31 and the two extension plates 33.
