[0006] The clamp comprises two half-ring seats, which are fixed by bolt connection.
[0007] The inner wall of the tapered arc block of the tapered sleeve is provided with textures for increasing friction.
[0008] A groove is provided on the crossbeam, and the fixing sleeve is welded in the groove.

[0022] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0023] Example 1:
[0024] See Figure 1-5 A flexible photovoltaic module intermediate support device includes a support column 10 and a crossbeam 20 mounted on top of the support column 10. A connecting assembly 30 for fixing a steel wire rope 40 is mounted on the crossbeam 20. The connecting assembly 30 includes a fixing sleeve 31, a conical sleeve 32, and a clamp 33. The fixing sleeve 31 is fixedly mounted on the crossbeam 20. The inner hole of the fixing sleeve 31 is a conical hole 311. The conical sleeve 32 is composed of multiple conical arc blocks. The small end of the conical sleeve 32 is inserted into the conical hole 311 of the fixing sleeve 31. In use, the steel wire rope 40 passes through the conical sleeve 32, and the clamp 33 is installed on the steel wire rope 40, and the clamp 33 abuts against the large end of the conical sleeve 32. Figure 4 The hoop 33 is used to secure the wire rope 40. The hoop 33 rests against the conical sleeve 32. When the wire rope 40 is pulled back, that is, when the wire rope 40 is pulled to the right, the conical sleeve 32 can tightly press the wire rope 40, thereby securing the wire rope 40. When tensioning the wire rope 40, the left end of the wire rope 40 is pulled to the left by the winch. The wire rope 40 can be easily tensioned. After tensioning, the conical sleeve 32 is tightened, and the installation position of the hoop 33 is adjusted to achieve the tension limit of the wire rope 40. In addition, due to the cooperation between the fixing sleeve and the conical sleeve, if the winch becomes loose or the joint falls off during traction, the wire rope 40 will not be completely loosened.
[0025] In one solution, the clamp 33 may be a U-shaped steel wire rope buckle.
[0026] In a preferred embodiment, see Figure 5 The hoop 33 includes two half-ring seats 331, which are connected and fixed by bolts 332. The contact area between the hoop 33 and the wire rope 40 is large, which causes less damage to the wire rope 40, and the end of the hoop 33 can better contact the large end of the tapered sleeve 32. Figure 5 In the figure, the upper half ring seat 331 is provided with a mounting hole for the bolt to pass through, and the upper half ring seat 331 is correspondingly provided with a threaded hole. The bolt 332 is passed through the mounting hole and then screwed into the threaded hole. After tightening the four bolts 332, the clamp 33 tightly holds the wire rope 40.
[0027] Furthermore, the inner wall of the conical arc block of the conical sleeve 32 is provided with a pattern 321 for increasing friction, thereby increasing the friction between the conical sleeve 32 and the wire rope 40. The pattern 321 can be a mesh protrusion or a groove.
[0028] See also Figure 1 The crossbeam 20 is provided with a groove 21, into which the fixing sleeve 31 is welded. This increases the welding surface between the fixing sleeve 31 and the crossbeam 20, making the weld more secure. In this embodiment, the support 10 and crossbeam 20 are made of round tubes. The groove 21 provided on the crossbeam 20 facilitates the welding of the fixing sleeve 31.
[0029] Example 2:
[0030] Based on Example 1, see Figure 1 、 2 The crossbeam 20 is installed obliquely on the pillar 10. In this way, two steel ropes 40 are installed on the crossbeam 20, one high and one low. When the photovoltaic module is installed on the two steel ropes 40, the photovoltaic module has an inclination angle.
[0031] Furthermore, a mounting plate 11 is welded to the bottom of the pillar 10, and a rib plate 12 is welded to the upper side of the mounting plate 11. The rib plate 12 is also welded to the pillar 10. The provision of the mounting plate 11 facilitates the installation of the pillar 10 with the anchor bolts on the ground concrete foundation, and the provision of the rib plate 12 can improve the structural strength between the mounting plate 11 and the pillar 10.
[0032] The working principle or action process of the utility model is as follows:
[0033] When using, see Figure 2 The fixing sleeves 31 of the two connecting components 30 are respectively welded to the upper and lower ends of the upper side of the crossbeam 20. One end of the two steel ropes is fixed to the end bracket, and the other end passes through the fixing sleeves 31 respectively. The hoop 33 is used to fix the steel rope 40, and the hoop 33 abuts against the conical sleeve 32.
[0034] When the steel wire rope 40 is pulled back, that is, the steel wire rope 40 is pulled to the right, the conical sleeve 32 can press the steel wire rope 40 tightly, thereby fixing the steel wire rope 40.
[0035] When tensioning the wire rope 40, the left end of the wire rope 40 is gradually pulled to the left by the winch, and each time the tension is about 30 mm, so that the conical arc block of the conical sleeve 32 does not fall off. The wire rope 40 can be easily pulled and tensioned. After tensioning, the conical sleeve 32 is tightened, and the installation position of the clamp 33 is adjusted to achieve the tension limit of the wire rope 40. During the pulling process, even if the winch is loose, the wire rope 40 will not be completely loosened.
