Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of a RV photovoltaic panel support base, in particular to a telescopic photovoltaic component mounting and fixing seat specially used for RVs. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards improve and their enthusiasm for exploring the outdoors grows, RVs or converted RVs are increasingly becoming a popular means of transportation for some people. RVs' power comes primarily from the energy generated by the vehicle while it's in motion, and secondarily from generators. Generators rely on fuel, while the vehicle itself can only generate power when it's running, both of which have limitations.

[0003] Based on the above problems, car owners will install photovoltaic panels on the roof of their RVs. They can generate electricity continuously under sunlight and are the first choice for supplementing electricity. In order to increase the power generation of photovoltaic panels, retractable photovoltaic modules have also come into being. They are installed on the roof and can be manually controlled to generate electricity when the vehicle is stopped.

[0004] Existing telescopic photovoltaic modules are all telescopically adjusted by electric actuators when adjusting the tilt. When the telescopic photovoltaic module is retracted and laid flat (as shown in the figure), Figure 4 As shown, the retractable photovoltaic module is supported solely by the electric actuator. Due to the heavy weight of the photovoltaic module, it tends to jump up and down when the vehicle is jolted. Therefore, the large inertia of the photovoltaic module impacts the electric actuator, causing the electric actuator to continuously bear impacts while the vehicle is moving. Therefore, we propose a retractable photovoltaic module mounting bracket specifically for RVs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model provides a telescopic photovoltaic component mounting bracket specially designed for RVs, which has the advantage that when the first support frame is laid flat, it can be locked by a clamping block, making the photovoltaic panel more stable during vehicle driving, thereby solving the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: a retractable photovoltaic module mounting bracket for RVs, comprising a first support frame and a second support frame, wherein the first support frame is stacked on top of the second support frame and the two are rotatably connected together on one side, a plurality of support legs are provided at the bottom of the second support frame, and a driving mechanism is provided between the first support frame and the second support frame, wherein the driving mechanism drives the first support frame to rotate around the edge of the second support frame, so that the first support frame is in an inclined state;

[0007] At least one first mounting bracket is provided in the second supporting frame, and a first telescopic mechanism is installed above one end of the first mounting bracket, which is away from the first supporting frame and is rotatably connected to the second supporting frame, through a mounting seat;

[0008] Among them, a pressing block is installed on the end of the first telescopic mechanism. When the first support frame is placed above the second support frame, the first telescopic mechanism drives the pressing block to press on the inner side surface of the first support frame to fix the first support frame.

[0009] Preferably, the first telescopic mechanism is rotatably connected to the side of the pressing block, and the bottom of the pressing block is rotatably mounted on the first mounting bracket;

[0010] The bottom of the mounting seat is also rotatably arranged on the first mounting frame, and the end of the pressing block away from the first telescopic mechanism is provided with a protrusion extending toward the inner wall of the first supporting frame.

[0011] Preferably, a stop is provided on the inner wall of the first support frame at a position corresponding to the protrusion, and the protrusion is pressed tightly against the top of the stop.

[0012] Preferably, after the protrusion is placed on the top of the stop, a gap exists between the protrusion and the side wall of the first support frame.

[0013] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a second mounting frame mounted in the first supporting frame, and at least one third mounting frame parallel to the second mounting frame is provided below the second supporting frame, with both ends of the third mounting frame respectively connected to the supporting legs and the third mounting frame being located below the second mounting frame;

[0026] 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.

[0027] See also Figures 1 to 6 The present invention provides a technical solution: a telescopic photovoltaic module mounting bracket for RVs, comprising a first support frame 1 and a second support frame 2. The first support frame 1 is stacked on top of the second support frame 2 and one side of the first support frame 1 and the second support frame 2 are connected together by rotation. A plurality of support legs 11 are provided at the bottom of the second support frame 2. A driving mechanism is provided between the first support frame 1 and the second support frame 2. The driving mechanism drives the first support frame 1 to rotate around the edge of the second support frame 2, so that the first support frame 1 is in an inclined state. Figure 1 As shown, the specific structure of the driving mechanism includes a second mounting frame 8 installed in the first support frame 1, and at least one third mounting frame 10 parallel to the second mounting frame 8 is provided below the second support frame 2. The third mounting frame 10 is located below the second mounting frame 8, and a second telescopic mechanism 9 is provided on the top of the third mounting frame 10 for rotation.

[0028] Among them, the two ends of the third mounting frame 10 are respectively connected to the supporting legs 11, the purpose of which is to increase the distance between the third mounting frame 10 and the second mounting frame 8, so that the space for installing the second telescopic mechanism 9 is large enough. The second telescopic mechanism 9 is arranged at an angle and its top is rotatably connected to the second telescopic mechanism 9. The extension of the second telescopic mechanism 9 can drive the first support frame 1 to rotate around the second support frame 2.

[0029] In the actual application process, Figure 5 As shown, the telescopic photovoltaic assembly is installed on the top of the first support frame 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the first support frame 1 is tilted under the drive of the second telescopic mechanism 9, allowing the photovoltaic module to be directly exposed to sunlight. However, when the first support frame 1 falls back to above the second support frame 2, there is a gap between the two because there is no lock between the two. During the movement of the RV, the first support frame 1 will bump on the second support frame 2.

[0030] Therefore, in order to prevent the first support frame 1 from shaking, Figure 1 As shown, at least one first mounting bracket 7 is provided in the second support frame 2, and a first telescopic mechanism 6 is installed above one end of the first mounting bracket 7 away from the first support frame 1 and the second support frame 2, which is rotatably connected, through a mounting seat 5;

[0031] Among them, a clamping block 3 is installed on the end of the first telescopic mechanism 6. When the first support frame 1 is placed above the second support frame 2, the first telescopic mechanism 6 drives the clamping block 3 to press on the inner side of the first support frame 1 to fix the first support frame 1. Therefore, the first telescopic mechanism 6 drives the clamping block to fix the returned first support frame 1, so that the first support frame 1 and the second support frame 2 fit tightly together to prevent the first support frame 1 from shaking.

[0032] The present invention also makes further improvements to the structure of the first telescopic mechanism 6 and the pressing block 3, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first telescopic mechanism 6 is rotatably connected to the side of the pressing block 3, and the bottom of the pressing block 3 is rotatably arranged on the first mounting bracket 7;

[0033] The bottom of the mounting seat 5 is also rotatably mounted on the first mounting frame 7. The end of the pressing block 3 away from the first telescopic mechanism 6 is provided with a protrusion 15 extending toward the inner wall of the first support frame 1. A stop 4 is provided at a position on the inner wall of the first support frame 1 corresponding to the protrusion 15, and the protrusion 15 is pressed against the top of the stop 4.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 3As shown, the bottom of the clamping block 3 can rotate around the first mounting bracket 7, and the first telescopic mechanism 6 is extended to drive the protrusion 15 forward and placed on the top of the retaining seat 4, so that the clamping block can firmly press the first support frame 1 on the top of the second support frame 2 without loosening. At this time, there is a gap between the protrusion 15 and the side wall of the first support frame 1, preventing the protrusion 15 from abutting against the first support frame 1; when the first support frame 1 needs to be raised, the first telescopic mechanism 6 drives the protrusion 15 to retract from the top of the retaining seat 4.

[0035] Furthermore, a plurality of second reinforcing rods 14 parallel to the first mounting frame 7 are installed in the first support frame 1, and the second reinforcing rods 14 and the second mounting frame 8 and the second reinforcing rods 14 are respectively connected by a plurality of first reinforcing rods 13; a plurality of third reinforcing rods 16 are installed in the second support frame 2. The plurality of reinforcing rods can increase the strength of the first support frame 1 and the second support frame 2, making the mounting base more stable.

[0036] Based on the above embodiment, it can be further optimized that the bottoms of the supporting legs 11 are respectively arranged on the connecting seats 12, and the connecting seats 12 are detachably connected to the RV roof, that is, the two are fastened by bolts.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the first telescopic mechanism 6 and the second telescopic mechanism 9 mentioned in the present application are respectively one of a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder or an electric actuator (electric push rod).
