Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic brackets, and particularly relates to an adjustable round tube bracket system for photovoltaic panels. Background Art
[0002] When installing photovoltaic panels outdoors, uneven terrains are often encountered, making it very inconvenient to adjust during installation. Traditional photovoltaic bracket materials mostly use profiles with non-circular cross-sections, which have the advantage of high installation structural strength, but are very inconvenient to adjust. Limited by the structural shape of the connectors, and when using profiles with circular cross-sections, the smooth surface of the profiles makes it impossible for the connectors to fix the photovoltaic rails and the brackets well. Moreover, there are many specifications of profiles on the market currently, with poor versatility, which brings certain inconvenience to stockpiling when there is a shortage of materials at the construction site. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] The utility model provides an adjustable round tube bracket system for photovoltaic panels, which can effectively solve the above problems.
[0004] The utility model is implemented as follows:
[0005] An adjustable round tube bracket system for photovoltaic panels includes a cross beam with a circular cross-section. A photovoltaic rail is mounted on the cross beam through a rail clamp. A column group is connected to the lower part of the cross beam through a round tube joint. A telescopic diagonal brace is provided between the column group and the cross beam through a diagonal brace clamp. The rail clamp includes a rail base, a clamping block, and a U-shaped buckle. The clamping block is connected to the rail base through bolts to clamp the photovoltaic rail. One end of the U-shaped buckle is clamped with the rail base, and the other end is connected to the rail base through bolts. The cross beam is placed inside the U-shaped buckle. A number of first convex platforms are provided on the contact surface between the inner side of the U-shaped buckle and the cross beam, and the first convex platforms are in contact with the cross beam.
[0006] As a further improvement, the round tube joint includes a round tube base and a semi-circular buckle. The semi-circular buckle and the round tube base are assembled and clamped on the cross beam. One end of the semi-circular buckle is clamped with the round tube base, and the other end is connected to the round tube base through bolts. The round tube base is provided with a first connecting part on the side far from the semi-circular buckle, and the column group is fixed to the connecting part. Second convex platforms are provided on the inner sides of both the round tube base and the semi-circular buckle.
[0007] As a further improvement, the diagonal brace clamp includes a first side plate and a second side plate. The first side plate includes an arc part and a fixing part. One end of the second side plate is clamped with the arc part, and the other end is connected to the fixing part through bolts. The telescopic diagonal brace is fixed to the fixing part through bolts.
[0008] As a further improvement, the cross beam includes a front cross beam and a rear cross beam, and the photovoltaic guide rail is fixed to the front cross beam and the rear cross beam by a guide rail hoop.
[0009] As a further improvement, a number of front column groups and rear column groups are respectively connected below the front cross beam and the rear cross beam through the round pipe joints. Each of the front column groups and the rear column groups includes a column round pipe and a ground pile. The column round pipe is sleeved in the ground pile and can be telescopically adjusted. The top of the column round pipe is connected to the round pipe joint, and its bottom is sleeved in the ground pile.
[0010] As a further improvement, a telescopic diagonal brace is provided between adjacent front column groups and rear column groups through the diagonal brace hoop.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0014] In the support system, both the cross beam and the column group adopt round pipes. The round pipes have strong versatility, and when constructing and installing in different regions, they can be locally purchased from factories for easy stockpiling, without the need to purchase from manufacturers specializing in producing specific cross-sections. At the same time, transportation costs can be saved. Under the same conditions, the price of round pipes is lower than that of profiles with non-circular cross-sections; the guide rail hoop is surrounded by a guide rail base and a U-shaped buckle on the side of the guide rail, and a first boss is provided inside the U-shaped buckle to improve the connection strength between the guide rail hoop and the cross beam, and its connection method enables the angle between the photovoltaic guide rail and the cross beam to be flexibly adjusted.

[0031] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model to be protected, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present utility model.
[0032] In the description of the present utility model, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more unless otherwise specifically defined.
[0033] Referring to Figures 1-6 As shown, an adjustable round tube support system for a photovoltaic panel 4 includes a cross beam 1. The cross beam 1 includes a front cross beam 11 and a rear cross beam 12. The photovoltaic guide rail 2 is fixed to the front cross beam 11 and the rear cross beam 12 through a guide rail hoop 5. The guide rail hoop 5 includes a guide rail base 51, a clamping block 53 and a U-shaped buckle 52. The clamping block 53 is connected to the guide rail base 51 by bolts to clamp the photovoltaic guide rail 2. A photovoltaic panel clamp 8 is installed on the photovoltaic guide rail 2 to fix the photovoltaic panel 4 to the photovoltaic guide rail 2. One end of the U-shaped buckle 52 is clamped with the guide rail base 51, and the other end is connected to the guide rail base 51 by bolts. One end of the U-shaped buckle 52 for clamping is provided with a corner, and the corner passes through an opening on the guide rail base 51 for cooperation. The cross beam 1 is placed inside the U-shaped buckle 52. On the contact surface between the inside of the U-shaped buckle 52 and the cross beam 1, there are two groups of first convex platforms 521 in a group of three. The first convex platforms 521 abut against the cross beam 1. When the connection bolts between the U-shaped buckle 52 and the guide rail base 51 are tightened, the first convex platforms 521 exert pressure on the surface of the cross beam 1, increasing the friction between the guide rail hoop 5 and the cross beam 1 and preventing the guide rail hoop 5 from rotating and shifting in position on the surface of the cross beam 1. When adjustment is needed, the bolts are loosened and the guide rail hoop 5 and the cross beam 1 can be rotated or horizontally shifted without being restricted by the cross-sectional shape of the cross beam 1. If a non-circular cross-section profile is used, there will be edges and corners and it cannot be adjusted flexibly.
[0034] Below the front cross beam 11 and the rear cross beam 12, a plurality of front column groups 3 and rear column groups 3 are respectively connected through round tube joints 7. The quantity is selected according to the length of the photovoltaic panel 4 installation and different terrain environments, and it is necessary to consider whether its overall load-bearing capacity meets the standards. Both the front column group 3 and the rear column group 3 include a column round tube 31 and a ground pile 32. The column round tube 31 is sleeved inside the ground pile 32 and can be telescopically adjusted. The top of the column round tube 31 is connected to the round tube joint 7, and its bottom is sleeved inside the ground pile 32. When encountering different terrains, the depths driven into the ground are different, and the cross beam 1 as a whole needs to maintain the same horizontal height or form a straight line, and thus can be adjusted through the position between the column round tube 31 and the ground pile 32. Six bolts arranged circumferentially are penetrated on the side of the ground pile 32 near the top to clamp the column round tube 31. Second convex platforms 73 are provided on the inner sides of the round tube base 71 and the semi-circular buckle 72 to increase the friction with the cross beam 1.
[0035] A telescopic brace is provided between the rear column group 3 and the crossbeam 1 through an inclined brace hoop 6, and a telescopic brace is also provided between the adjacent front column group 3 and rear column group 3 through the inclined brace hoop 6. The telescopic brace can mainly be used to strengthen the overall structural strength. The telescopic brace is an existing technology, and its telescopic structure can better adjust the support points.
[0036] Among them, the round tube joint 7 includes a round tube base 71 and a semi-circular buckle 72. The semi-circular buckle 72 and the round tube base 71 are assembled and clamped on the crossbeam 1. One end of the semi-circular buckle 72 is clamped with the round tube base 71, and the other end is connected to the round tube base 71 through a bolt. The round tube base 71 is provided with a first connecting portion 711 on the side away from the semi-circular buckle 72. The column group 3 is arranged in the connecting portion and a bolt passes through the two for fixation.
[0037] The inclined brace hoop 6 includes a first side plate 61 and a second side plate 62. The first side plate 61 includes an arc portion 611 and a fixing portion 612. One end of the second side plate 62 is clamped with the arc portion 611 and the other end is connected to the fixing portion 612 through a bolt. The telescopic brace is fixed to the fixing portion 612 through a bolt.
[0038] The installation steps of the present utility model are as follows:
[0039] Drive the ground nails into the ground according to the requirements of the design drawing, and calibrate the exposed size of the ground nails; insert the round tube columns into the ground nails, adjust the horizontal position of the top of the round tube columns, and lock the bolts; install the round tube base 71 on the top of the round tube columns, and place the crossbeam 1 on the round tube base 71, and lock the semi-circular buckle 72; the crossbeam 1 can be spliced and extended through the crossbeam 1 connecting piece; install the guide rail hoop 5 on the crossbeam 1; install the photovoltaic guide rail 2 on the guide rail hoops 5 of the front crossbeam 11 and the rear crossbeam 12, and tighten the bolts to press and fix the photovoltaic guide rail 2 with the clamping block 53; install the telescopic brace between the front and rear column groups 3 and between the rear column group 3 and the rear crossbeam 12 through the inclined brace hoop 6; finally, fix the photovoltaic panel 4 on the photovoltaic guide rail 2 through the pressing block.
