Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of renewable energy utilization of highways and relates to an adjustable photovoltaic bracket for highway slopes. Background Art

[0002] With growing global awareness of environmental protection and the deepening of sustainable development, the development of green transportation networks has become a key priority for transportation infrastructure worldwide. To address this need and promote the transformation of transportation networks toward low-carbon, energy-efficient approaches, a growing number of environmentally friendly and new energy technologies are being applied to highway construction and renovation. Among these, photovoltaic power generation technology, as a clean, renewable energy source, holds particularly broad application prospects.

[0003] Applying photovoltaic power generation technology on highway slopes not only effectively utilizes slope space resources but also provides green energy for highway lighting, monitoring, and other systems, further reducing reliance on traditional energy sources. However, despite this promising application, current applications of photovoltaic power generation on highway slopes remain relatively rare and face a number of technical challenges.

[0004] The complexity and diversity of slope terrain make the design, installation, and maintenance of photovoltaic mounting systems challenging. Ensuring the stability and safety of photovoltaic mounting systems is particularly challenging in situations with steep slopes. Furthermore, most highways with steep slopes are located in mountainous areas, which are prone to windy weather. During strong winds, photovoltaic mounting systems are susceptible to wind shock and damage, significantly shortening their service life. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the present utility model is to solve the technical problem in the prior art that most highways with large slope angles are located in mountainous areas. These areas often have more windy weather. When encountering strong winds, photovoltaic brackets are easily impacted and damaged by wind, resulting in a greatly shortened service life. The utility model provides an adjustable photovoltaic bracket for highway slopes.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] The utility model provides an adjustable photovoltaic bracket for highway slopes, comprising a highway slope body;

[0008] The top of the highway slope body is provided with pile grooves in the vertical direction and the bottom in the horizontal direction, and positioning piles are provided in the pile grooves; positioning rods are provided on the positioning piles, and photovoltaic panel brackets are provided on the positioning rods.

[0009] Furthermore, the highway slope body is a right-angled trapezoidal structure.

[0010] Furthermore, a plurality of pile grooves are provided.

[0011] Furthermore, a thread groove is provided on the positioning pile.

[0012] Furthermore, the positioning rod is connected to the positioning pile through a threaded groove.

[0013] Furthermore, a threaded structure is provided on the surface of the positioning rod.

[0014] Furthermore, the positioning rod is arranged perpendicular to the slope surface of the highway slope.

[0015] Furthermore, the photovoltaic panel bracket is provided with a plurality of photovoltaic panel assembly slots.

[0016] Furthermore, the edges of the highway slope body, pile groove, positioning pile, thread groove, photovoltaic panel support and positioning rod are all rounded.

[0017] Furthermore, the pile groove is fixedly connected to the positioning pile.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] The utility model discloses an adjustable photovoltaic bracket for highway slopes. By setting pile grooves in the vertical direction at the top and the horizontal direction at the bottom of the highway slope body, and built-in positioning piles, this structural layout significantly improves the overall stability of the photovoltaic bracket system. The positioning piles are deeply embedded in the slope body, effectively resisting the influence of natural factors such as wind and earthquakes, ensuring the safe operation of photovoltaic facilities under extreme weather conditions, and improving the service life of the photovoltaic bracket; at the same time, the positioning rods equipped on the positioning piles provide flexible support points for the photovoltaic panel bracket. This design allows the angle and height of the photovoltaic panel to be adjusted according to actual needs and lighting conditions, maximizing the efficiency of sunlight capture, while facilitating subsequent maintenance, cleaning and replacement operations, reducing operation and maintenance costs;

[0020] Furthermore, the right-angled trapezoidal slope design effectively expands the installation area of ​​the photovoltaic rack. Compared to other shapes, the right-angled trapezoidal shape ensures slope stability while providing an inclined surface for installing photovoltaic panels, thereby increasing the area for light absorption and improving power generation efficiency. The right-angled trapezoidal slope structure is mechanically more stable, effectively resisting pressure from above and from the sides of the slope, reducing the risk of slope instability caused by natural factors such as soil erosion and rainwater erosion. This structure also facilitates the installation of deeper and more stable locating stakes within the slope, further improving the overall safety of the photovoltaic racking system. The right-angled trapezoidal slope structure also makes the installation and subsequent maintenance of the photovoltaic racking more convenient. Construction workers can easily reach each installation point along the slope's incline, eliminating the need for complex climbing or constructing temporary platforms, reducing construction difficulty and costs. The right-angled trapezoidal design also facilitates the cleaning and replacement of photovoltaic panels, extending the service life of the photovoltaic system.

[0021] Furthermore, the edges of the highway slope, pile grooves, positioning piles, threaded grooves, photovoltaic panel brackets, and positioning rods are all rounded. This rounded design effectively reduces stress concentration points in the structure, particularly when subjected to natural forces such as wind pressure and rain erosion. It significantly reduces the risk of edge fracture due to excessive stress, thereby enhancing the structural stability and durability of the entire bracket system. The rounded corner design also reduces the potential harm caused by sharp edges, especially during installation, maintenance, and inspection, better ensuring the safety of workers. It also reduces the risk of equipment damage caused by accidental collisions. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0035] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0036] The utility model discloses an adjustable photovoltaic bracket for highway slopes. When in use, the positioning piles 3 are first installed into the pile grooves 2, and the photovoltaic panel bracket 5 is fixed by the cooperation between each threaded positioning rod 6 and the threaded groove 4.
