Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of complementary fishing and photovoltaic power generation, in particular to a floating photovoltaic bracket on water. Background Art

[0002] As a mutually beneficial project for the joint development of a new energy and fishery, the complementary fishing and photovoltaic power generation project plays a very important role in environmental protection and ecological aquaculture. It can greatly improve the economic value of land per unit area and has the potential for developing leisure tourism, and is very suitable for popularization in the regions of the Yangtze River Delta.

[0003] At present, floating barrels based on materials such as high-density polyethylene have been widely used, but there are not many floating barrels applied to photovoltaic power generation projects. The reasons are as follows:

[0004] 1. The service life of a photovoltaic power generation project is as long as 25 years. Due to its characteristics, the polyethylene floating barrel is prone to aging when exposed to the sun for a long time, and its service life cannot meet the operation period of the photovoltaic power station.

[0005] 2. Generally, the construction of a complementary fishing and photovoltaic power station requires a large water area, and the maintenance cost during the production and operation period is relatively high.

[0006] 3. Using a polyethylene floating barrel still requires a bracket to connect and fix the photovoltaic panel, which increases the construction cost and installation cost of the power station. Currently, the cost of the bracket accounts for one-fifth of the investment cost, and the construction process of fixing the photovoltaic panel with the bracket is cumbersome, which prolongs the construction period.

[0007] 4. The cost of using a polyethylene floating barrel is relatively high. Currently, the price of a floating barrel with dimensions of 500mm×500mm×400mm on the market is about 200 yuan. Content of the Utility Model

[0008] To solve the problems that the existing polyethylene floating barrel is prone to aging when exposed to the sun, its service life cannot meet the operation period of the photovoltaic power station, the cost is relatively high, and it still requires a bracket to connect and fix the photovoltaic panel, which increases the construction cost and installation cost of the power station, the utility model provides a floating photovoltaic bracket on water. By recycling EVA waste, crushing it and re-foaming it, a floating box on water is prepared, which greatly reduces the manufacturing cost of the floating box. EVA is ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, and generally the content of vinyl acetate (VA) is 5% - 40%. Compared with polyethylene, since vinyl acetate monomer is introduced into the molecular chain of EVA, the high crystallinity is reduced, and the flexibility, impact resistance, filler compatibility and heat sealing performance are improved, thereby improving the anti-aging ability of the floating box.

[0009] To achieve the above object, the present utility model provides a floating photovoltaic support, which is characterized in that: it includes floating boxes and cable bridges, there are N floating boxes and N cable bridges, where N is a natural number greater than 1.

The N cable bridges are arranged in a straight line, and two adjacent cable bridges are detachably and butt-joint fixedly connected. The cable bridge is used for laying cables of photovoltaic panels and serves as a connection and fixing frame between the floating boxes. The floating box is shaped like a cube with a right trapezoid cross-section, and the included angle between the upper side and the horizontal plane is set to 15-30°. There is an inwardly concave opening groove on the upper side, and the bottom surface of the opening groove is parallel to the upper side. The photovoltaic panel is clamped in the opening groove;

The second bolt passes through the first bolt mounting hole on the transverse plate and the corresponding second bolt mounting hole on the cable bridge, and the other end is locked by the first locking nut, so that the L-shaped connecting plate and the cable bridge form a detachable and fixed connection.

[0014] Further, it further includes a connecting plate, a third bolt and a second locking nut. The inner sides of the left and right sides of the connecting plate are respectively attached to the front side or the rear side of the butt ends of two adjacent cable trays. A plurality of third bolt mounting holes are provided on both the left and right sides of the connecting plate. Fourth bolt mounting holes are provided at corresponding positions on the front and rear sides of the butt ends of two adjacent cable trays. The third bolt sequentially passes through the third bolt mounting hole of the connecting plate and the fourth bolt mounting hole on the corresponding cable tray from outside to inside, and the other end is locked by the second locking nut, so that the butt ends of two adjacent cable trays form a detachable fixed connection.

[0015] Further, it further includes a bracket, a fourth bolt and a fifth bolt for connecting the floating box and the photovoltaic panel. Second threaded holes are provided below both the upper and lower ends of the opening groove on the floating box. Fifth bolt mounting holes are provided at corresponding positions on the bracket.

All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the corresponding drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as a limitation of the present utility model.
