Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic supports, in particular to a steel cable connection structure for a flexible photovoltaic support. Background Art
[0002] Amidst the booming development of renewable energy, photovoltaic power generation, as a mainstream form of clean energy utilization, continues to see a surge in installed capacity. Flexible photovoltaic mounting systems have emerged to address the challenges of special terrain and complex installation environments. Traditional rigid photovoltaic mounting connection methods are difficult to directly adapt to the cable connections of flexible mounting systems. In complex terrain such as mountains, hills, and rooftops, the cable connection structure must possess flexible spatial adaptability and be able to precisely adjust its position in multiple dimensions based on the actual terrain and installation plan. This ensures a scientific and reasonable layout of cable connection points, enabling the entire mounting system to effectively support photovoltaic modules and maintain stable operation. Traditional connection structures often involve complex installation processes, relying on skilled professionals for precise operation. The long installation time not only increases labor costs and construction cycles, but also makes it prone to uneven connection quality due to human error. For flexible photovoltaic mounting cable connection structures, a simple, fast, and efficient installation method is urgently needed. Therefore, we have introduced a new cable connection structure for flexible photovoltaic mounting systems. Summary of the Invention

[0028] See also Figure 1-4 , the utility model provides a technical solution:
[0029] A steel cable connection structure for a flexible photovoltaic bracket includes a mounting seat 1, four mounting seats 1 are provided, and the four mounting seats 1 are distributed in pairs. The upper ends of the four mounting seats 1 are each provided with a support column 2, wherein the upper ends of the two corresponding support columns 2 are both fixedly installed with a mounting frame 3, the upper ends of the two mounting frames 3 are both provided with a T-shaped groove 4, six fixing mechanisms 5 are slidably installed inside the two T-shaped grooves 4, and mounting mechanisms 6 are movably installed inside the twelve fixing mechanisms 5, a number of adjustment holes 7 are provided at the left and right ends of the two mounting frames 3, and a steel cable body 8 is commonly provided between the two mounting mechanisms 6 opposite to each other on the left and right.
[0030] In this embodiment, the fixing mechanism 5 includes a T-shaped slider 51, a fixing seat 52 is provided at the upper end of the T-shaped slider 51, a fixing groove 53 is provided at the upper end of the fixing seat 52, and a clamping hole 54 is provided on the inner left wall and the inner right wall of the fixing groove 53. The lower left end and the lower right end of the fixing seat 52 are both provided with L-shaped fixing ears 55, and the two L-shaped fixing ears 55 are both provided with fixing holes 56 at the ends away from the T-shaped slider 51, and bolts 57 are provided inside the two fixing holes 56; the mounting mechanism 6 is movably mounted inside the fixing groove 53; the fixing seat 52 is slidably mounted inside the T-shaped groove 4 through the T-shaped slider 51; the fixing seat 52 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 3 through the fixing hole 56, the adjustment hole 7 and the bolt 57.
[0031] According to the above solution, during installation, the fixing base 52 is first slid along the T-shaped slot 4 to a suitable position via the T-shaped slider 51, so that the fixing hole 56 on the fixing base 52 is aligned with the adjustment hole 7 on the mounting frame 3. Then, the bolt 57 is passed through the fixing hole 56 and the adjustment hole 7 and tightened to achieve a fixed connection between the fixing base 52 and the mounting frame 3.
[0032] In this embodiment, the mounting mechanism 6 includes a mounting ring 61, and a plurality of sliding balls 62 are provided on the inner surface of the mounting ring 61. A fixed block 63 is provided at the lower end of the mounting ring 61. Inner cavity grooves 64 are provided on the left and right sides of the inner part of the fixed block 63. Springs 65 are provided inside the two inner cavity grooves 64. Sliding blocks 66 are slidably installed inside the two inner cavity grooves 64.

[0033] According to the above solution, the fixing block 63 at the lower end of the mounting ring 61 is aligned with the fixing groove 53 at the upper end of the fixing seat 52 and inserted. During the insertion process, the sliding blocks 66 in the inner grooves 64 on both sides of the fixing block 63 are squeezed by the walls of the fixing groove 53, driving the protrusions 67 to compress the springs 65 and slide into the inner grooves 64. When the fixing block 63 is fully inserted into the fixing groove 53, the protrusions 67 are ejected under the elastic force of the springs 65 and respectively engage with the locking holes 54 on the left and right inner walls of the fixing groove 53, completing the installation of the mounting mechanism 6 in the fixing groove 53.

To install, align the fixing block 63 at the lower end of the mounting ring 61 with the fixing groove 53 at the upper end of the fixing seat 52 and insert it. During the insertion process, the sliding blocks 66 in the inner cavity grooves 64 on both sides of the fixing block 63 are squeezed by the walls of the fixing groove 53, driving the protrusions 67 to compress the springs 65 and slide into the inner cavity grooves 64. When the fixing block 63 is fully inserted into the fixing groove 53, the protrusions 67 pop out under the elastic force of the springs 65 and respectively snap into the card holes 54 on the left and right walls of the fixing groove 53, so that the mounting mechanism 6 is stably installed in the fixing groove 53, and the sliding balls 62 on the inner surface of the mounting ring 61 reduce friction during the subsequent installation of the cable body 8.
