Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic power generation, in particular to an anti-wind photovoltaic bracket. Background Art

[0002] As an important way to produce clean energy, the installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation has expanded rapidly in recent years. In high-altitude areas, the air density is relatively low, the light resources are rich, the population density is low, and the land resources are rich, which are suitable for the development and construction of photovoltaic projects. In some provinces (such as Yunnan Province) to reduce the impact of photovoltaic construction on the original surface vegetation, it is stipulated that the minimum distance from the ground of the photovoltaic panel must reach a certain height (2.5m in Yunnan Province). At present, the conventional brackets used in photovoltaic projects generally cannot adjust the height and the inclination angle of the components. In the case of strong wind speed, problems such as the photovoltaic panel being blown off, the bracket being deformed, the bracket foundation being fractured, and the components being damaged are likely to occur in the existing brackets.

[0003] The Chinese invention patent with the publication number of CN118363403A discloses an anti-wind control method and device for a photovoltaic bracket array and a photovoltaic bracket array system. The photovoltaic bracket array includes multiple rows of photovoltaic brackets, each row of photovoltaic brackets includes a guide rail and multiple photovoltaic brackets, and each photovoltaic bracket includes a photovoltaic panel. Light sensors are installed on the top side and the bottom side of the front surface of the photovoltaic panel. The anti-wind control method includes: obtaining the current wind speed of the environment where the photovoltaic bracket array is located; when the current wind speed is less than the preset wind speed, detecting the light signals of the light sensors of each photovoltaic bracket; for any one photovoltaic bracket, if the light signals of two corresponding light sensors are not detected simultaneously, controlling the distance between the photovoltaic bracket and the adjacent photovoltaic bracket in the front side to continuously increase until the light signals of two corresponding light sensors are detected simultaneously. The problem is that since multiple sensors are used to provide adjustment support, the adjustment is relatively complex. Although the above adjustment method can adjust the height and inclination angle of the photovoltaic bracket when the wind is strong and reset when the wind is weak, because the wind is invisible, it may cause the photovoltaic bracket to be in an adjustment state all the time, which is rather uneconomical.

[0028] Embodiment 1:

[0029] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, an anti-wind photovoltaic bracket provided in this embodiment includes a support frame 1 for supporting a photovoltaic panel, a height adjustment mechanism 2 for adjusting the height of the support frame 1, and an inclination adjustment mechanism 3 for adjusting the inclination of the support frame 1; the inclination adjustment mechanism 3 includes a first electrically controlled telescopic connecting rod 4, a chute 5, and a sliding locking assembly 6. The chute 5 is installed at the bottom of the support frame 1, the sliding locking assembly 6 is slidably disposed in the chute 5, one end of the first electrically controlled telescopic connecting rod 4 is hinged to the height adjustment mechanism 2, the other end of the first electrically controlled telescopic connecting rod 4 is hinged to the sliding locking assembly 6, and the sliding locking assembly 6 is used to move and lock the first electrically controlled telescopic connecting rod 4 relative to the chute 5. In actual use, the support frame 1 is used to install the photovoltaic panel. Both the height adjustment mechanism 2 and the inclination adjustment mechanism 3 are connected to the support frame 1. The height adjustment mechanism 2 is used to adjust the height of the support frame 1, and the inclination adjustment mechanism 3 is used to adjust the inclination of the support frame 1. When adjusting the inclination of the support frame 1, the first electrically controlled telescopic connecting rod 4 needs to move on the chute 5 to achieve the inclination adjustment of the support frame 1. After the first electrically controlled telescopic connecting rod 4 slides in place, the sliding locking assembly 6 locks the first electrically controlled telescopic connecting rod 4, and the inclination adjustment of the support frame 1 is completed.

[0030] In this embodiment, it further includes a monitoring and control component 8 for monitoring the wind load of the photovoltaic panel and providing central control support. The height adjustment mechanism 2 and the inclination adjustment mechanism 3 are both electrically connected to the monitoring and control component 8. During actual use, the monitoring and control component 8 is used to monitor the wind load data of the photovoltaic panel. When the wind load data of the photovoltaic panel reaches the set threshold, the monitoring and control component 8 controls the height adjustment mechanism 2 and the inclination adjustment mechanism 3 to work. The height adjustment mechanism 2 contracts inward to reduce the height of the photovoltaic panel, and the inclination adjustment mechanism 3 extends outward to reduce the inclination angle of the photovoltaic panel. After the wind load data of the photovoltaic panel is less than the set threshold for a period of time, the monitoring and control component 8 controls the height adjustment mechanism 2 and the inclination adjustment mechanism 3 to reset.

[0031] In this embodiment, the monitoring and control component 8 includes a mounting rack 81, a wind speed sensor 82, a wind direction sensor 83, a control host, a signal transmission device, and a control box 84.

The wind speed sensor 82 and the wind direction sensor 83 are used to obtain the wind load data of the photovoltaic panel 1 and transmit the monitored wind load data to the control host, and finally wirelessly transmit the monitoring data to the background terminal through the signal transmission device.

[0032] In this embodiment, the control host uses an MSP430 single-chip microcomputer. During actual use, the MSP430 single-chip microcomputer has the advantages of stable operation, low power consumption, and good expansion performance. Using the MSP430 single-chip microcomputer as the control host can achieve long-term stable operation.

[0033] Embodiment Two:

[0034] As Figure 1 、 Figures 3 - 6 shown, on the basis of Embodiment One, the height adjustment mechanism 2 includes a support rod 21 and a telescopic device 22. The telescopic device 22 is mounted on the support rod 21. The telescopic device 22 is used to adjust the height of the support rod 21. The telescopic device 22 is electrically connected to the control host. During actual use, the support rod 21 is grounded and is used to fix and mount the support frame 1 and the photovoltaic panel. At the same time, the telescopic device 22 is used to raise or lower the height adjustment mechanism 2 to achieve the height adjustment of the photovoltaic panel.

[0035] In this embodiment, the telescopic device 22 includes an electric cylinder 221 and a telescopic rod 222, and the electric cylinder 221 is drivingly connected to the telescopic rod 222. In actual use, the electric cylinder 221 is used to drive the telescopic rod 222 to move up and down. When the telescopic rod 222 moves up and down, the height of the height adjustment mechanism 2 changes, thereby realizing the height adjustment of the photovoltaic panel.

[0036] In this embodiment, the inclination angle adjustment mechanism 3 further includes a second electrically controlled telescopic connecting rod 7. One end of the second electrically controlled telescopic connecting rod 7 is hinged to the support frame 1, and the other end of the second electrically controlled telescopic connecting rod 7 is hinged to the support rod 21. Both the first electrically controlled telescopic connecting rod 4 and the second electrically controlled telescopic connecting rod 7 are electrically connected to the control host. In actual use, the second electrically controlled telescopic connecting rod 7 is also used to adjust the inclination angle of the photovoltaic panel. When adjusting the inclination angle of the photovoltaic panel, the second electrically controlled telescopic connecting rod 7 can extend outward or contract inward under the control of the control host.

[0037] In this embodiment, the sliding locking assembly 6 includes a slider 61 and a locking device 62. The locking device 62 is installed on the slider 61. The first electrically controlled telescopic connecting rod 4 is hinged to the locking device 62, and the locking device 62 is electrically connected to the control host. In actual use, the slider 61 is used to slide in the chute 5, and the locking device 62 is used to lock the slider 61. In the locked state, the slider 61 cannot move.

[0038] In this embodiment, the locking device 62 includes an electric lock body 621 and a lock tongue 622, and the electric lock body 621 is drivingly connected to the lock tongue 622. In actual use, the electric lock body 621 realizes the locking of the slider 61 by driving the lock tongue 622 to extend outward. At the same time, the electric lock body 621 can facilitate the free movement of the slider 61 by driving the lock tongue 622 to contract inward.

[0039] In this embodiment, the chute 5 is provided with a fixing hole 51 for the lock tongue 622 to pass through corresponding to the lock tongue 622. In actual use, by providing the fixing hole 51 on the chute 5, when the lock tongue 622 extends outward, the lock tongue 622 can pass through the fixing hole 51, so that the locking device 62 and the first electrically controlled telescopic connecting rod 4 installed on the locking device 62 cannot move freely, realizing fixation.

[0040] All the technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs. The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
