Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of flexible brackets for photovoltaic panels, and in particular relates to a flexible bracket for installing photovoltaic panels. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the photovoltaic power generation industry, photovoltaic modules can be installed through flexible brackets in areas with uneven land such as barren mountains, hills and tidal flats, as well as across gullies, so as to resolve terrain restrictions, reduce installation difficulty and improve land utilization.

[0003] However, the installation of photovoltaic modules is an aerial operation. When installing and fixing photovoltaic modules, the steel cables may shake, which may easily make it difficult to fix the photovoltaic modules on the steel cables. More than two people are required to install the photovoltaic modules. One person supports the photovoltaic modules to keep them stable on the surface of the steel cables to avoid shaking, and the other person fixes the photovoltaic modules to the surface of the steel cables through fixings. This makes the installation and fixing of photovoltaic modules inconvenient and greatly reduces the efficiency of installing photovoltaic modules. Utility Model Content

[0007] Flexible cables are provided with two groups and the two ends of the flexible cables are connected to the fixed base after passing through the two groups of support plates. The surfaces of the two groups of flexible cables are slidably sleeved with a number of limit members for limiting the installation of photovoltaic panels. The two ends of the photovoltaic panel are limited by the fixed shells of the limit members so that the photovoltaic panel can be pre-fixed on the surfaces of the two groups of flexible cables.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting member comprises a limiting slot and a slot, the limiting slot is provided in two groups and is respectively provided at two ends of the fixed shell, and the slot is provided in two groups and is respectively provided on two side surfaces of the fixed shell.

[0009] Preferably, the two sides of the fixing shell are slidably sleeved on the surface of the flexible cable through two groups of slots, and the two ends of the photovoltaic panel are inserted into the limiting slots and fixed to the flexible cable through fixing parts.

After the fixing plate is flipped, the flexible cable is clamped in the groove, and a bolt passing through the first threaded hole is screwed with the second threaded hole on the surface of the mounting plate, so that the mounting plate is fixed on the surface of the flexible cable.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0014] When installing the photovoltaic panel, a set of fixing shells close to the support plate can be abutted against the support plate, and one end of the photovoltaic panel is inserted into the limit slot on one side of the fixing shell. Under the action of the abutment between the support plate and the fixing shell, the fixing shell will not move when the photovoltaic panel is inserted into the limit slot.

[0024] Flexible cables 3, two groups of flexible cables 3 are provided, and both ends of the flexible cables 3 penetrate through the two groups of support plates 1 and are connected to the fixed base 4. A plurality of limit pieces 5 for installing and limiting the photovoltaic panel 6 are slidably sleeved on the surfaces of the two groups of flexible cables 3. The two ends of the photovoltaic panel 6 are limited by the fixed shells 7 of the limit pieces 5, so that the photovoltaic panel 6 can be pre-fixed on the surfaces of the two groups of flexible cables 3.

[0025] The limit piece 5 includes limit slots 8 and slots 9. Two groups of limit slots 8 are provided and are respectively arranged at both ends of the fixed shell 7. Two groups of slots 9 are provided and are respectively arranged on both side surfaces of the fixed shell 7.

[0026] Both sides of the fixed shell 7 are slidably sleeved on the surface of the flexible cable 3 through the two groups of slots 9. After both ends of the photovoltaic panel 6 are inserted into the limit slots 8, they are fixed to the flexible cable 3 through the fixing pieces 10. By sliding the fixed shell 7 on the surface of the flexible cable 3, the distance between two adjacent fixed shells 7 can be adjusted.

[0027] The fixing piece 10 includes a mounting plate 11. Two mounting holes 12 are provided on the surface of the mounting plate 11. The mounting plate 11 is screwed and fixed to the photovoltaic panel 6 through bolts passing through the mounting holes 12.

[0028] A fixing plate 13 is hinged on the surface of the mounting plate 11. A groove 14 is provided in the middle of the fixing plate 13. A first threaded hole 15 is provided at one end of the fixing plate 13. When the fixing plate 13 is flipped, the flexible cable 3 can be clamped in the groove 14.

[0029] The surface of the mounting plate 11 is provided with second threaded holes 16. After the fixing plate 13 is turned over, the flexible cable 3 is clamped in the groove 14, and a bolt passing through the first threaded hole 15 is screwed with the second threaded hole 16 on the surface of the mounting plate 11, so that the mounting plate 11 is fixed on the surface of the flexible cable 3.

[0030] When installing the photovoltaic panel 6 with this flexible bracket for photovoltaic panel installation, a set of fixed shells 7 close to the support plate 1 can be abutted against the support plate 1, and one end of the photovoltaic panel 6 can be inserted into the limit slot 8 on one side of the fixed shell 7. Under the action of the abutment between the support plate 1 and the fixed shell 7, the fixed shell 7 will not move when the photovoltaic panel 6 is inserted into the limit slot 8. After insertion, slide another set of fixed shells 7 on the surface of the flexible cable 3 towards the end close to the photovoltaic panel 6 and insert the other end of the photovoltaic panel 6 into the limit slot 8 on the surface of the other set of fixed shells 7, thus completing the pre-installation of the photovoltaic panel 6. And the remaining photovoltaic panels 6 can be installed in sequence according to this operation, avoiding the problem that multiple people are required to install the photovoltaic panel 6, which is more convenient and greatly improves the installation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel 6.

[0031] When fixing the photovoltaic panel 6, a bolt is passed through the mounting hole 12 on the surface of the mounting plate 11 and screwed with the photovoltaic panel 6, so that the mounting plate 11 is fixed to the photovoltaic panel 6. Then the fixing plate 13 is turned over to clamp the flexible cable 3 in the groove 14. A bolt passing through the first threaded hole 15 on the surface of the fixing plate 13 is screwed with the second threaded hole 16 on the surface of the mounting plate 11, and under continuous screwing, the flexible cable 3 is clamped and fixed in the groove 14 of the fixing plate 13, so that the mounting plate 11 is fixed to the flexible cable 3, and the photovoltaic panel 6 is installed and fixed on the surface of the flexible cable 3. And since both ends of the photovoltaic panel 6 are limited in the fixed shell 7, and both ends of the fixed shell 7 are parallel on the surface of the flexible cable 3, the photovoltaic panel 6 will not shake on the surface of the flexible cable 3 when fixed, greatly improving the stability of the photovoltaic panel 6 when fixed.
