Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic panel transportation, and particularly relates to a transfer device for photovoltaic panel installation. Background Art

[0002] As a clean and green form of energy, photovoltaic energy is receiving unprecedented attention. To further expand the coverage of photovoltaic resources, the country has turned its attention to the vast mountainous areas. The development and utilization of mountains aims to explore more potential photovoltaic sites to meet the growing demand for clean energy.

[0003] The mountain environment is more complex than the plain or hilly terrain. These areas are often not fully developed, with large terrain undulations, narrow and winding roads, which pose great challenges to the transportation of photovoltaic panels. Under such conditions, photovoltaic panels are extremely vulnerable to damage due to jolting, collision, and friction during transportation, especially at the edges and corners. To avoid such damage, the current transportation solutions usually adopt the method of setting partitions between photovoltaic panels to reduce the direct contact between adjacent components, thereby reducing the risk of wear.

[0004] Although adding partitions can protect photovoltaic panels from damage to a certain extent, it also brings new problems. To improve transportation efficiency and control costs, the number of photovoltaic panels transported each time is often quite large, resulting in a significant increase in the overall stacking height. Although this approach improves the unit transportation volume, in actual operation, the loading and unloading of the photovoltaic panels at high positions become extremely difficult, not only increasing the labor intensity but also potentially causing safety problems. In addition, frequent loading and unloading operations also increase the possibility of damage to photovoltaic panels, thus offsetting the original intention of reducing losses. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a transfer device for photovoltaic panel installation to solve the problems of difficult loading and unloading and low loading and unloading efficiency of the photovoltaic panels at high positions during stacking in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the utility model adopts the following technical solution: A transfer device for installing photovoltaic panels, including a transfer box. The transfer box includes a bottom plate and a box body. A support mechanism is provided on the bottom plate, and the support mechanism is located inside the box body. The support mechanism includes support rods installed at the four corner positions of the bottom plate, and a support plate that is hinged between the support rods and used for placing photovoltaic panels; a side door is provided on one side of the box body facing the front side of the support plate; the two support rods located in front of the support plate are called front support rods, and a lifting adjustment structure is provided between the bottom of the front support rods and the bottom plate. The lifting adjustment structure includes two symmetrically arranged lifting adjustment blocks and a sliding groove that cooperates with the lifting adjustment blocks. The upper end surface of the lifting adjustment block is a wedge surface, and the lower end surface is a flat surface. The bottom surface of the front support rod is wedge-shaped and is in sliding contact with the upper end surface of the lifting adjustment block. A driving structure is provided between the two lifting adjustment blocks, and the driving structure controls the lifting adjustment blocks to slide in the sliding groove to make the front support rods lift and lower.

[0007] The principle and advantages of this solution are:

[0008] In actual application, in this solution, the front support rods of the support mechanism are set to be lift-adjustable. Among them, the upper end surface of the lifting adjustment block in the lifting adjustment structure is a wedge surface. By the driving structure, the lifting adjustment blocks slide in the sliding groove. The wedge surface design enables the front support rods to achieve longitudinal lifting and lowering during the sliding process of the lifting adjustment blocks. When the front support rods move downward, the front side of the support plate is driven to descend, and thus the whole support plate is in a state of inclining downward from the rear to the front.

[0009] When workers load and unload photovoltaic panels at a height higher than their height, the inclined support plate is used as a loading and unloading guide, and the photovoltaic panels can be quickly and simply pushed onto the support plate. Compared with a loading and unloading platform with a fixed height, this adjustable transfer device enables workers of different heights to adjust a suitable inclination angle according to the actual situation for quick and safe loading and unloading of photovoltaic panels, effectively improving the loading and unloading efficiency of photovoltaic panels located at high positions and ensuring the integrity of photovoltaic panels during high-position loading and unloading, reducing transportation damage; and by adjusting the support plate to an inclined state, workers do not need to climb to high positions through auxiliary scaffolding and the like for operation, reducing the risk of high-altitude operations and improving work safety.

[0010] Further, the driving structure includes a bolt rod located in the middle and a connecting block that is threadedly connected to the bolt rod. Both sides of the connecting block are hinged with sliding rods, and the other ends of the two sliding rods are hinged to the adjacent lifting adjustment blocks.

[0011] The above settings drive the connecting block to perform screw lifting by rotating the bolt rod, and then drive the slide rods on both sides to move by the connecting block, thereby driving the lifting adjustment blocks hinged to the slide rods to approach or move away from each other in the chute. The movement of the lifting adjustment blocks causes the front support rod to drive the support plate to move up and down for tilting. When the support plate tilts downward, workers can quickly and easily load and unload the photovoltaic panels by using the tilted support plate as a guide when loading and unloading the photovoltaic panels at high positions, effectively reducing the loading and unloading difficulty and labor intensity, and further ensuring the integrity of the photovoltaic panels.

[0012] Furthermore, a stop block structure is provided on the front side of the support plate. The stop block structure includes a fixed shaft and a stop block rotatably connected to the fixed shaft.

[0013] The purpose of the above settings is to prevent the photovoltaic panels from slipping and being damaged due to no shielding and the worker's hand slipping error when the front support rod and the support plate are tilted. The stop block is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft to facilitate the rotation of the stop block during the loading and unloading of the photovoltaic panels so that the position will not interfere with the loading and unloading, and to rotate the stop block during transportation to realize the limit fixation of the photovoltaic panels.

[0014] Furthermore, a limit block for restricting the rotation angle of the stop block is provided on the front side of the support plate.

[0015] The purpose of the limit block is to limit the rotation range of the stop block around the fixed shaft, so that the lowest position of the stop block is parallel to the support plate, preventing the stop block from affecting the loading and unloading of the photovoltaic panels below it.

[0016] Furthermore, a buffer layer is provided on the upper side of the support plate. The buffer layer is made of silica gel material.

[0017] The above settings achieve vibration buffering through the buffer layer made of silica gel material, reducing the impact force on the photovoltaic panels, and secondly, making the photovoltaic panels easily shift and slide during transportation through the friction of the silica gel material, increasing the reliability of transportation.

[0018] Furthermore, a protective layer is provided on the inner side of the box body.

[0019] The protective layer can effectively prevent the corners of the photovoltaic panels from colliding with or wearing against the inner walls of the surrounding box body.

[0020] Furthermore, a forklift opening penetrating horizontally is provided on the bottom plate.

[0021] The above settings facilitate the overall handling of the transfer box by auxiliary transportation equipment such as forklifts, greatly reducing the labor intensity of workers. At the same time, the use of mechanical equipment can speed up the transfer speed and improve efficiency. Description of the Drawings

[0030] Embodiment

[0031] As Figures 1 - 6 shown, a transfer device for installing photovoltaic panels includes a transfer box. The transfer box includes a bottom plate 1 and a box body 9. The bottom plate 1 is provided with a support mechanism. The support mechanism is located inside the box body 9. The support mechanism includes support rods 2 installed at the four corner positions of the bottom plate 1, and a support plate 4 hinged between the support rods 2 and used for placing photovoltaic panels; a side door is hinged on one side of the box body 9 facing the front side of the support plate 4; the two support rods 2 located in front of the support plate 4 are called front support rods 3. An lifting adjustment structure 5 is provided between the bottom of the front support rod 3 and the bottom plate 1. The lifting adjustment structure 5 includes two symmetrically arranged lifting adjustment blocks 51 and a sliding groove 52 cooperating with the lifting adjustment blocks 51. The upper end surface of the lifting adjustment block 51 is a wedge surface, and the lower end surface is a flat surface. The inclination directions of the wedge surfaces of the two lifting adjustment blocks 51 are opposite. The bottom surface of the front support rod 3 is wedge-shaped and is in sliding contact with the upper end surface of the lifting adjustment block 51.

[0032] As Figure 3 、 Figure 4As shown in combination, a driving structure 6 is provided between the two lifting adjustment blocks 51. The driving structure 6 is used to control the sliding of the lifting adjustment blocks 51 in the sliding grooves 52 to lift the front support rod 3. The driving structure 6 includes a bolt rod 61 located in the middle and a connecting block 63 threadedly connected to the bolt rod 61. Both the left and right sides of the connecting block 63 are hinged with slide rods 64, and the other ends of the two slide rods 64 are respectively hinged to the adjacent lifting adjustment blocks 51. The bottom plate 1 is rotatably connected to the bolt rod 61. A rotating hole 62 for accommodating the bolt rod 61 is opened directly below the bolt rod 61 on the bottom plate 1, and the rotating hole 62 is a smooth hole. During specific use, the bottom of the bolt rod 61 contacts the bottom of the rotating hole 62. When the bolt rod 61 is rotated, one end of the slide rod 64 spirally rises or descends along the bolt rod 61, and then the other end of the slide rod 64 drives the two lifting adjustment blocks 51 to gradually approach or gradually move away from each other, realizing the lifting of the front support rod 3, and further making the support plate 4 tilt downward to facilitate the loading and unloading of the photovoltaic panels at high places. A steering wheel 65 is also provided at the top of the bolt rod 61, which is convenient for workers to hold the steering wheel 65 to drive the bolt rod 61 to rotate.

[0033] Through the above settings, when workers load and unload photovoltaic panels at a height higher than their height, the lifting adjustment blocks 51 on both sides of the lifting are driven by the driving structure 6 to approach each other in the middle, and the front side of the support plate 4 is driven by the front support rod 3 to descend, making the support plate 4 Figure 6 as a whole tilt downward as shown. Using the tilted support plate 4 as a loading and unloading guide, the photovoltaic panel can be quickly and simply pushed onto the support plate 4. Compared with a loading and unloading platform with a fixed height, this adjustable transfer device enables workers of different heights to adjust the appropriate tilt angle according to the actual situation for quick and safe loading and unloading of photovoltaic panels, effectively improving the loading and unloading efficiency of the photovoltaic panels at high places and ensuring the integrity of the photovoltaic panels during high-altitude loading and unloading, reducing transportation damage; and adjusting the support plate 4 to a tilted state, workers do not need to climb to high places through auxiliary scaffolding and other means for operation, reducing the risk of high-altitude operations and improving work safety.

[0034] As Figure 3 、 Figure 5As shown in combination, a stop block structure 7 is provided on the front side of each support plate 4. The stop block structure 7 includes a fixed shaft 71 and a stop block 72 rotatably connected to the fixed shaft 71. The frictional force between the stop block 72 and the fixed shaft 71 is greater than the self-weight of the stop block 72, so that after the worker rotates the stop block 72, the stop block 72 will not rotate and displace itself, ensuring the limiting and resisting effect on the photovoltaic panel. A limit block 73 for restricting the rotation angle of the stop block 72 is provided on the front side of the support plate 4. The limit block 73 is installed parallel to the support plate 4. When the baffle 72 rotates to be parallel to the limit block 73, the top of the stop block 72 is not higher than the top of the support plate 4. In specific applications, after the photovoltaic panel is loaded, the worker rotates the stop block 72 to rotate around the fixed shaft 71, and the stop block 72 rotates to be perpendicular to the support plate 4 to limit and resist the photovoltaic panel, preventing the support plate 4 from tilting and causing the photovoltaic panel to fall and be damaged; when loading and unloading the photovoltaic panel, the worker rotates the stop block 72 onto the limit block 73, and the limit block 73 further prevents the stop block 72 from rotating excessively and affecting the loading and unloading of the lower photovoltaic panel.

[0035] Furthermore, a buffer layer 8 is installed on the upper side of the support plate 4. The buffer layer 8 is made of silica gel material to absorb and relieve the impact force generated during the bumpy vibration of the transfer device; a protective layer (not shown in the figure) is provided on the inner side of the box body 9. The protective layer is a sponge layer to prevent the photovoltaic panel from colliding with the inner wall of the box body 9 and causing damage and wear.

[0036] A forklift opening 10 penetrating horizontally is opened on the bottom plate 1. The forklift opening 10 facilitates the use of forklift equipment to carry the entire transfer box, reducing the labor intensity of workers. At the same time, the use of mechanical equipment can speed up the transfer speed and improve efficiency.

[0037] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0038] In specific applications, auxiliary equipment such as forklifts is used to carry and place the transfer box filled with photovoltaic panels onto the trolley. The worker drags the trolley to transfer the photovoltaic panels to the position to be laid for unloading. Compared with manually carrying the photovoltaic panels on the back, the labor intensity is effectively reduced, and the handling and installation efficiency are improved.

[0039] During unloading, when the height of the unloading position is higher than the height of the worker, for the photovoltaic panels at a high position, the worker drives the bolt rod 61 to rotate by rotating the steering wheel 65. The rotation of the bolt rod 61 drives the connecting block 63 to move upward. One end of the sliding rod 64 hinged to the connecting block 63 also moves upward. Furthermore, the sliding rod 64 rotates and closes towards the bolt rod 61, and drives the lifting adjustment blocks 51 on both sides to close towards the middle. After the lifting adjustment blocks 51 close towards the middle, the front support rod 3 descends due to the lack of support at the bottom, causing the front side of the support plate 4 to descend, as Figure 6As shown, the support plate 4 supports the whole body in a downward inclined state. Then the worker rotates the stopper to release the limit on the photovoltaic panel, and the worker unloads the photovoltaic panel at a high place with the inclined support plate 4 as a guide, effectively reducing the difficulty of loading and unloading at a high place. After the photovoltaic panel at a high place is unloaded, the worker can rotate the steering wheel 65 in the reverse direction to make the bolt rod 61 rotate in the reverse direction. When the bolt rod 61 rotates in the reverse direction, the connecting block 63 and the sliding rod 64 move in the reverse direction to push the lifting adjustment blocks 51 on both sides outwards, causing the front support rod 3 to rise and the support plate 4 to return to the horizontal position. When the height of the unloading position is lower than the height of the worker, the worker can choose whether to adjust the support plate 4 to an inclined state for loading and unloading according to the actual situation.

[0040] The above are only embodiments of the present invention, and common general technical solutions and / or characteristics in the solutions are not described in detail here. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the technical solution of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention, and these will not affect the implementation effect of the present invention and the practicality of the patent. The protection scope required by this application should be based on the content of its claims, and the specific implementation manners in the specification can be used to explain the content of the claims.
