Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic panel transportation, in particular to a lift suitable for transporting rooftop photovoltaic panels. Background Art
[0002] With the growing global demand for renewable energy, solar photovoltaic power generation has garnered widespread attention as a clean, sustainable energy solution. When installing rooftop photovoltaic systems, safely and efficiently transporting equipment and materials, including photovoltaic panels, to the rooftop becomes a crucial step in the construction process. As core components of photovoltaic power generation systems, photovoltaic panels are not only expensive but also relatively fragile, susceptible to damage during handling. Furthermore, given their large size and weight, ensuring the safe transportation of photovoltaic panels has become a key factor in improving installation efficiency and ensuring project quality.
[0003] However, in actual operation, due to site conditions (such as narrow space layout, height restrictions of surrounding buildings, etc.), it is sometimes impossible to use traditional large-scale machinery such as cranes for lifting operations. In this case, it is often necessary to rely on manpower to carry through stairs or use simple tools such as ropes to complete the lifting of photovoltaic panels. However, both methods have obvious shortcomings: on the one hand, manual handling is time-consuming and labor-intensive, greatly reducing work efficiency; on the other hand, whether it is direct hand-carrying or lifting with ropes, it is difficult to completely avoid the risk of damage caused by collisions due to improper operation, and it may even lead to safety accidents, posing a threat to the lives of workers. For this reason, a lift suitable for transporting rooftop photovoltaic panels is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a lift suitable for transporting rooftop photovoltaic panels, so as to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0006] As a further solution of the present invention: the power structure includes a traction motor disk installed on the main frame, and a manual winch is installed on the side wall of the traction motor disk.
[0007] As a further solution of the present invention: an upper limiter and a lower limiter for limiting the moving range of the sub-frame are respectively installed on the main frame, and the sub-frame is located between the upper limiter and the lower limiter.
[0008] As a further solution of the present invention: a support frame for holding the photovoltaic panel is provided on the sub-frame, and a layer of rubber is laid on the contact surface between the support frame and the photovoltaic panel.
[0009] As a further solution of the present invention: the limiting mechanism is specifically a fixing rope, and the end of the fixing rope is connected to the surface of the sub-frame.
[0010] As a further solution of the present invention: the limiting mechanism includes a limiting assembly, the limiting assembly includes a slide groove opened on the sub-frame, a limiting column is vertically installed inside the slide groove, the outer peripheral surface of the limiting column is provided with a clamping block adapted to the slide groove, and the outer peripheral surface of the limiting column is provided with a compression spring with two ends respectively connected to the clamping block and the slide groove.
[0011] As a further solution of the present invention: the end surface of the clamping block adjacent to the photovoltaic panel is provided with flexible rubber teeth.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0013] The present application has a simple and reasonable structure and is easy to assemble. It is suitable for buildings with a roof height of 3-15m. Under the action of the main frame and the sub-frame, the photovoltaic panels on the ground can be quickly transported to the roof. With the cooperation of the sub-frame and the limiting mechanism, the risk of the photovoltaic panels falling from the sub-frame during transportation can be avoided, thereby improving the safety of personnel operations. Secondly, the photovoltaic panels are lifted by a traction motor disk + manual winch. When the site has electricity conditions, the traction motor disk is used first. When the electricity conditions are not available, the manual winch is used to lift and transport the photovoltaic panels from the ground to the roof. This is not only efficient, but also has low loss of finished products. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] See also Figure 1-4 In an embodiment of the utility model, a lift suitable for transporting rooftop photovoltaic panels includes a main frame 1 and a sub-frame 2. A driving mechanism for controlling its ascent or descent is installed on the sub-frame 2. A photovoltaic panel 10 is also provided on the sub-frame 2. The photovoltaic panel 10 is fixed to the sub-frame 2 through a limiting mechanism. A support frame for holding the photovoltaic panel 10 is provided on the sub-frame 2. A layer of rubber is laid on the contact surface between the support frame and the photovoltaic panel 10. The setting of the rubber can better protect the frame of the photovoltaic panel 10. The driving mechanism includes a fixed pulley 5 installed on the upper end of the main frame 1 and a movable pulley 9 installed on the sub-frame 2 and in contact with the main frame 1. The outer circumference of the fixed pulley 5 is provided with a steel wire rope 6. One end of the steel wire rope 6 is connected to the sub-frame 2, and the other end is connected to the power structure.
[0021] Specifically, in order to ensure the stability of the overall frame, the angle between the main frame 1 and the ground must be maintained between 45° and 60°. Secondly, the main frame 1 and the sub-frame 2 are movably connected, and under the action of the movable pulley 9, on the one hand, the sub-frame 2 is limited to be able to move up and down along the side of the main frame 1, and on the other hand, the friction between the main frame 1 and the sub-frame 2 is reduced, so that the sub-frame 2 is more stable during the lifting process. Secondly, the limiting mechanism is specifically a fixed rope 11, and the end of the fixed rope 11 is connected to the surface of the sub-frame 2. The fixed rope 11 is used to fix the photovoltaic panel 10 on the sub-frame 2, which can prevent the photovoltaic panel 10 from overturning during the rising process. At the same time, the fixed pulley 5 is fixed to the upper end of the main frame 1 and its position needs to be higher than the roof. The steel wire rope 6 is connected to the power structure at one end to drive the steel wire rope 6 connected to the sub-frame 2 at the other end to rise, so that the photovoltaic panel 10 on the ground rises to the roof for use by people on the roof.

When the surrounding area of the overall frame has an environment where electricity is connected, the traction motor disk 3 is opened and controlled to rotate forward and reverse, so as to complete the electric lifting of the photovoltaic panel 10. When the surrounding area does not have an environment where electricity is connected, the staff can rotate the manual winch 4 to complete the lifting and transportation of the photovoltaic panel 10.

The height of the lower limiter 8 is about 1m from the ground. When the sub-frame 2 is at the lower end and contacts the lower limiter 8, it is convenient for the staff to assemble the photovoltaic panel 10 on the sub-frame 2, and the upper limiter 7 is provided at the upper end of the main frame 1. When the upper end of the sub-frame 2 contacts the upper limiter 7, it is also convenient for the staff to remove the photovoltaic panel 10 from the sub-frame 2.
[0024] See also Figure 3-4 In another embodiment, in this embodiment, preferably, the limit mechanism includes a limit assembly 12, which includes a slide groove 121 opened on the sub-frame 2, and a limit column 122 is vertically installed inside the slide groove 121, and the outer peripheral surface of the limit column 122 is provided with a block 123 adapted to the slide groove 121, and the block 123 is provided with a flexible rubber tooth near the end face of the photovoltaic panel 10, on the one hand, it can better fix the photovoltaic panel 10, and on the other hand, it can better protect the frame of the photovoltaic panel 10, and the outer peripheral surface of the limit column 122 is provided with a compression spring 124 connected to the block 123 and the slide groove 121 at both ends respectively, and the compression spring 124 can apply downward pressure to the block 123, thereby limiting the photovoltaic panel 10 from above, ensuring that the position of the photovoltaic panel 10 will not change, and better completing the loading of the photovoltaic panel 10.
