[0002] During the construction of a photovoltaic power station, most of the photovoltaic modules are directly fixed to the photovoltaic support by means such as bolts or welding. However, in the face of extreme weather conditions, especially in the windy season, it poses a severe challenge to the stability of the photovoltaic power station. As the most directly exposed part of the photovoltaic power station to the natural environment, the large windward area of the photovoltaic panels makes them the focus of force under the action of strong winds. The continuous action of long-term and high-intensity wind will gradually weaken the connection strength between the photovoltaic panels and the support, resulting in problems such as bolt loosening and welding point cracking, causing slight shaking, offset, or even serious detachment of the photovoltaic panels, which will not only affect the power generation efficiency of the power station, increase the maintenance cost, but also pose potential safety hazards to surrounding facilities or personnel due to the detachment of components.

Detailed implementation manners

[0021] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0022] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a photovoltaic panel support system. The photovoltaic panel support system includes a mounting frame 20 and a fixing assembly 30. The mounting frame 20 is used to place the photovoltaic panel 10. The fixing assembly 30 includes a pressing member 31, a fixing plate 32 and an elastic member 33. The pressing member 31 includes a pressing rod 311 and a connecting rod 312. The pressing rod 311 and the connecting rod 312 are connected at a corner. The pressing rod 311 is used to press against the photovoltaic panel 10. The connecting rod 312 is connected to the fixing plate 32. The elastic member 33 is disposed between the fixing plate 32 and the connecting rod 312. The fixing plate 32 has a hooking portion 321, and the hooking portion 321 is connected to the mounting frame 20.

[0023] Specifically, the pressing rod 311 and the fixing plate 32 can be relatively located on both sides of the photovoltaic panel 10. The pressing rod 311 can be disposed on the light-facing surface of the photovoltaic panel 10, and the fixing plate 32 can be disposed on the backlight surface of the photovoltaic panel 10. The connecting rod 312 can be disposed on the side of the photovoltaic panel 10 to connect the pressing rod 311 and the fixing plate 32. That is to say, a limiting space can be provided between the pressing rod 311 and the fixing plate 32 so that the photovoltaic panel 10 and the mounting frame 20 are located in the limiting space. Secondly, the fixing plate 32 is hooked to the mounting frame 20 through the hooking portion, and the elastic member 33 is disposed between the connecting rod 312 and the fixing plate 32, which is not only convenient for installation, but also convenient for adjusting the position of the fixing assembly 30 on the mounting frame 20 to meet different requirements.

[0024] Moreover, the elastic member 33 is disposed between the fixing plate 32 and the connecting rod 312, which can provide elastic buffering for the movement of the photovoltaic panel 10. That is to say, whether during the installation process of the photovoltaic panel 10 or in a strong wind environment, the setting of the fixing plate 32, the pressing rod 311 and the elastic member 33 can absorb and relieve the impact on the photovoltaic panel 10 caused by wind force fluctuations or other environmental factors, effectively reducing the vibration amplitude and damage risk of the photovoltaic panel 10, significantly improving the wind resistance and overall stability of the photovoltaic power station, and providing a solid guarantee for the safe operation of the power station.

[0025] In summary, in the photovoltaic panel support system provided by the embodiments of the present utility model, the pressure rod 311, the connecting rod 312, the fixing plate 32, and the elastic member 33 can fix the photovoltaic panel 10 to the mounting frame 20, and can provide a buffering effect when the photovoltaic panel 10 is impacted by wind, which helps to improve the wind resistance and stability of the photovoltaic power station in the windy season, and provides a solid guarantee for the safe operation of the power station.

[0026] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, the mounting frame 20 includes an outer frame 21 and a connecting rod located inside the outer frame 21. The hooking portion 321 has a first plate 322 and a second plate 323 connected to each other. The first plate 322 and the second plate 323 are arranged at an angle to form a hooking groove 324 for accommodating the connecting rod, so that the fixing plate 32 can be easily and firmly hooked on the connecting rod, effectively preventing potential safety hazards caused by loosening or falling off. Of course, in some embodiments, the engaging portion can also be hooked on the outer frame 21 of the mounting frame 20, that is, a part of the structure of the outer frame 21 can be arranged in the hooking groove 324.

[0027] Specifically, the outer frame 21 can be consistent with the shape of the photovoltaic panel 10, so that the photovoltaic panel 10 is placed on the outer frame 21. The connecting rods can be provided in multiple numbers and can be arranged vertically or horizontally inside the outer frame 21. The connecting rods can improve the stability of the outer frame 21 and also improve the firmness of the placement of the photovoltaic panel 10. The first plate 322 and the second plate 323 can be arranged in a V shape to form a V-shaped hooking groove 324, so that the connecting rod is firmly held in the hooking groove 324, ensuring a firm and reliable connection between the fixing plate 32 and the mounting frame 20.

[0028] As Figure 5 shown, in some embodiments, the fixing plate 32 includes a straight plate 41 and a bent plate 42 connected to each other. The bent plate 42 is bent from the side of the straight plate 41 facing the pressure rod 311 to form the hooking portion 321. That is to say, the fixing plate 32 can be arranged in an L shape, and the natural arc and strength formed after the bending of the bent plate 42 enable it to be easily and firmly hooked on the mounting frame 20. That is to say, the user only needs to simply align the hooking portion 321 of the fixing plate 32 with the corresponding position on the mounting frame 20 and gently hang it to achieve a tight connection between the two, which is both fast and reliable. Moreover, the position and angle of the fixing plate 32 can be adjusted according to actual needs, increasing the flexibility and diversity of use.

[0029] As Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting rod 312 has a threaded section 3121, and the fixing plate 32 is provided with a through hole 325 for the connecting rod 312 to pass through. The fixing assembly 30 includes a nut 34 matching the threaded section 3121, and the elastic member 33 is sleeved on the connecting rod 312, and the elastic member 33 is located between the nut 34 and the fixing plate 32. During use, the connecting rod 312 can be inserted into the through hole 325, the elastic member 33 is sleeved on the connecting rod 312, and the nut 34 is screwed onto the threaded section 3121 through a threaded structure, and the pre-tightening force generated by the nut 34 can firmly lock the connecting rod 312 to the fixing plate 32, thereby realizing the connection between the connecting rod 312 and the fixing plate 32.

[0030] Furthermore, the elastic member 33 can absorb and buffer the force generated by vibration or impact to a certain extent, thereby protecting the connecting rod 312 and the fixing plate 32 from damage; secondly, it can also provide a certain preload compensation effect, thereby ensuring that the connection between the connecting rod 312 and the fixing plate 32 always remains tight during long-term use; finally, the elastic member 33 can also improve the dynamic performance of the entire connection structure, thereby making it more adaptable to complex and changeable working environments.

[0031] In some embodiments, the elastic member 33 is configured as a spring pad, and the thickness of the elastic member 33 is set to 3 mm to 8 mm, thereby avoiding a spring pad that is too thin and cannot provide sufficient cushioning effect, making it difficult to effectively absorb and disperse the vibration and impact from the photovoltaic panel 10; it can also avoid a spring pad that is too thick and increases the overall weight and cost of the system.

[0032] Therefore, the thickness of the spring pad is set within the range of 3mm to 8mm, which can not only ensure that it provides sufficient buffering and protection when the photovoltaic panel 10 is affected by external factors such as wind and temperature changes, but also maintain the lightness and economy of the system, while taking into account the convenience of installation and maintenance.

[0033] Optionally, the spring washer can be set to 3mm, 5mm, 8mm, etc. In the present embodiment, the spring washer is set to 5mm.

[0034] In some embodiments, the connecting rod 312 is made of galvanized material to prevent rust. In addition, the galvanized material is not only suitable for conventional harsh environments such as humidity and salt spray, but can also resist the aging effect of ultraviolet radiation on the material to a certain extent, ensuring that the connecting rod 312 continues to play a stable connection role in the photovoltaic panel support system.

[0035] In some embodiments, the connecting rod 312 has a tapered portion 3122, which is connected to the compression rod 311 by welding. The gradually changing cross-sectional shape enables the connecting rod 312 to disperse stress more evenly when subjected to pressure or tension, thereby improving the strength and durability of the entire connection structure.

[0036] In some embodiments, a plurality of protrusions 3111 are provided on the pressure rod 311, and the protrusions 3111 are used to abut against the surface of the photovoltaic panel 10. That is to say, point contact can be formed between the pressure rod 311 and the photovoltaic panel 10, which can more effectively disperse external loads such as wind pressure borne by the photovoltaic panel 10, and reduce the risk of deformation or damage to the photovoltaic panel 10 due to excessive single-point stress. At the same time, the protrusions 3111 can also increase the friction force to a certain extent, improve the stability of the photovoltaic panel 10 on the bracket system, and prevent it from slipping or falling off under harsh weather conditions such as strong winds.

[0037] In some embodiments, the fixing assembly 30 further includes a soft pad 3112, and the soft pad 3112 is provided on the side of the pressure rod 311 facing the photovoltaic panel 10. The soft pad 3112 is used to abut against the photovoltaic panel 10. It can not only closely fit on the surface of the photovoltaic panel 10, but also prevent the surface of the photovoltaic panel 10 from being scratched through its soft and elastic material properties. It can also effectively absorb the micro-vibrations and impacts that may occur during the installation process and the vibrations generated by wind pressure, so as to ensure that the photovoltaic panel 10 is installed smoothly and accurately at the predetermined position.

[0038] In some embodiments, a plurality of photovoltaic panels 10 are provided, and an installation gap is provided between two adjacent photovoltaic panels 10. The pressing member 31 is arranged in the installation gap, and the pressure rod 311 and the connecting rod 312 are arranged in a T shape, so that the pressure rod 311 can closely adhere to the edge of the photovoltaic panel 10, providing stable and uniform supporting force, and effectively preventing the photovoltaic panel 10 from being displaced or falling off due to external forces such as wind pressure and snow load.
