Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of solar panels, in particular to an angle adjustment mechanism for solar panels. Background Art

[0002] Solar panels are widely used in various fields. Usually, solar panels are installed at designated positions through fixed brackets, and workers will conduct regular inspections.

[0003] After the existing solar panels are installed, their positions are single and the angles cannot be adjusted, so it is impossible to make better use of the effective area to collect more solar energy; and in case of bad weather such as storms, the solar panels are easily damaged. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] In order to solve the problems that the angle of the solar panel cannot be adjusted and it is easily damaged in bad weather, the utility model provides an angle adjustment mechanism for solar panels, which includes a support assembly, a horizontally arranged fixed plate and an adjustment plate. The lower side of the fixed plate is fixedly connected with the support assembly. One side of the adjustment plate is rotatably connected with one side of the fixed plate, and the rotation direction is along the direction of approaching or departing from the upper side of the fixed plate. A first driving assembly for driving the adjustment plate to rotate is arranged on the fixed plate. The solar panel is fixedly arranged on the side of the adjustment plate away from the fixed plate, and a solar panel protection assembly is arranged on the adjustment plate.

[0005] By adopting the above technical scheme, under the sun illumination, the solar panel faces the upper side. By rotating between the adjustment plate and the fixed plate, the angle of the solar panel is changed. When encountering a bad environment, by rotating between the adjustment plate and the fixed plate, the solar panel faces the lower side, and the solar panel is protected by the solar panel protection assembly, so that the solar panel can better receive the sun light and can be protected in a bad environment.

[0006] Optionally, the first driving assembly includes a first driving rod and a first motor. A bearing is arranged on one side of the fixed plate connected with the adjustment plate. The first driving rod is rotatably connected with the fixed plate through the bearing. One side of the adjustment plate connected with the fixed plate is fixedly connected with the first driving rod. The first motor is fixedly arranged on the fixed plate, and the output shaft of the first motor is detachably connected with one side of the first driving rod through a coupling.

[0007] By adopting the above technical scheme, driven by the first motor, the first driving rod rotates, and the first driving rod drives the adjustment plate to rotate relative to the fixed plate.

[0008] Optionally, the upper side of the fixed plate is inclined, and the inclination direction is from the side rotatably connected with the adjustment plate to the side away from the adjustment plate.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, in bad weather such as heavy rain, rainwater is guided to the side away from the adjusting plate through the inclined surface of the fixing plate, playing an auxiliary protection role for the solar panel.

[0010] Optionally, the periphery of the solar panel does not exceed the periphery of the adjusting plate.

[0011] Optionally, the solar panel protection assembly includes a first protection plate and a second protection plate. The first protection plate and the second protection plate are respectively rotatably connected to two mutually parallel sides of the adjusting plate along the direction of approaching or departing from the solar panel. The above two sides of the adjusting plate intersect with the side where the adjusting plate is rotatably connected to the fixing plate. Second driving assemblies are arranged on both sides of the adjusting plate, and the second driving assemblies can drive the first protection plate or the second protection plate to rotate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, in bad weather such as heavy rain, with the solar panel facing downward, on the basis that the solar panel is located within the adjusting plate, the first protection plate and the second protection plate rotate towards the direction approaching the solar panel to protect the solar panel from the side.

[0013] Optionally, when the solar panel receives sunlight, the first protection plate, the second protection plate and the adjusting plate are located on the same horizontal plane.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the influence of the first protection plate and the second protection plate on the sunlight receiving range of the solar panel is avoided.

[0015] Optionally, the second driving assembly includes a second driving rod and a second motor. Bearings are arranged on both sides of the adjusting plate. The second driving rod is rotatably connected to the adjusting plate through the bearings. The first protection plate or the second protection plate is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the second driving rod. The second motor is fixedly arranged on the adjusting plate, and the output shaft of the second motor is detachably connected to one side of the second driving rod through a coupling.

[0016] Optionally, the support assembly includes a base and a vertically arranged support rod. One end of the support rod is fixedly connected to the lower side of the fixing plate, and the other end of the support rod is rotatably connected to the base in the horizontal direction. A third driving assembly for driving the support rod to rotate is arranged on the base.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotational setting of the support rod enables the solar panel to adjust the angle in the horizontal direction, increasing the flexibility of the solar panel.

[0018] Optionally, the third driving component includes a first gear, an external gear slewing bearing, and a third motor. The first gear is rotatably connected to the base. The upper surface of the outer ring of the external gear slewing bearing is fixedly connected to the support rod. The inner ring of the external gear slewing bearing is fixedly connected to the base. The first gear meshes with the outer ring of the external gear slewing bearing. The third motor is fixedly arranged on the base, and the output shaft of the third motor is fixedly connected to the center of the first gear.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the third motor drives the first gear to rotate, and the first gear drives the external gear slewing bearing, so that the support rod rotates in the horizontal direction, and the angle of the solar panel is adjusted.

[0020] In summary, the utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0021] 1. Under sunlight, the solar panel faces upward. By rotating between the adjusting plate and the fixing plate, the angle of the solar panel is changed. When encountering harsh environments, by rotating between the adjusting plate and the fixing plate, the solar panel faces downward, and the solar panel protection component protects the solar panel, enabling the solar panel to better receive sunlight and be protected in harsh environments.

[0022] 2. The support rod rotates relative to the base, enabling the solar panel to also adjust its angle in the horizontal direction, making the angle adjustment of the solar panel more flexible. Description of the Drawings
