An installation plate 12 is arranged on the rotating outer shell 11, which is used to install the support assembly, provides a stable installation foundation for relevant components, and ensures the accuracy and stability of the positions of various components. A support assembly is arranged on the rotating outer shell 11, and the support assembly is installed on the installation plate 12. A motor 13 is installed inside the rotating outer shell 11 to provide power. Through connection with bevel gears, it drives the support to rotate and adjust to optimize the lighting angle of the photovoltaic panel. The shaft end of the motor 13 is connected to a first bevel gear 14, and a second bevel gear 15 is arranged inside the rotating outer shell 11. The first bevel gear 14 meshes with the second bevel gear 15, and the mutual meshing realizes power transmission and speed change, so that the power of the motor 13 can be accurately converted into the rotation of the support. A telescopic rod 16 penetrates through the bottom of the rotating outer shell 11, and the telescopic rod 16 is used to adjust the height of the support, so as to adapt to different installation environments and lighting conditions and increase the flexibility of photovoltaic panel lighting. One end of the telescopic rod 16 is sleeved with a bearing 17, and the bearing 17 can help reduce the frictional resistance when the telescopic rod 16 rotates, ensure the smoothness of rotation, and extend the service life of the telescopic rod 16. The bearing 17 is clamped inside the rotating outer shell 11, and the other end of the telescopic rod 16 is connected to a support base plate 18. The support base plate 18 supports the weight of the entire support and the photovoltaic panel, ensuring the stability of the support on the ground. A shock absorption assembly is arranged above the support base plate 18, and the shock absorption assembly is connected to the telescopic rod 16.

[0024] The support assembly includes two groups of hydraulic rods 21, which adjust the angle of the photovoltaic panel by telescoping, enabling the photovoltaic panel to better receive sunlight, and at the same time providing support and stability for the support. Two groups of mounting blocks 22 are arranged on the mounting plate 12 to fix one end of the hydraulic rod 21, ensure that the position of the hydraulic rod 21 remains unchanged during operation, and provide a stable support point for the movement of the hydraulic rod 21. One end of the hydraulic rod 21 is rotatably connected inside the mounting block 22 through bolts. Sliding members 29 are arranged on both groups of hydraulic rods 21, and can slide in the sliding grooves 27 of the photovoltaic panel frame 24, cooperating with the hydraulic rods 21 to achieve precise adjustment of the angle of the photovoltaic panel and stable support.
