[0002] With the continuous growth of global energy demand and the enhancement of environmental protection awareness, photovoltaic power generation, as a clean and renewable form of energy, has received widespread attention and application.
[0003] Traditional photovoltaic carports are typically fixed installations, and the panel's tilt cannot be adjusted in real time based on the sun's position. This fixed-angle design results in the panels receiving sunlight at their optimal angle for only a portion of the day, limiting their absorption efficiency and impacting power generation.
[0004] To improve the efficiency of solar energy utilization in photovoltaic panels, some existing technologies attempt to manually adjust the angle of the panels. However, manual adjustment is labor-intensive and lacks precise control of the angle, making it difficult to respond promptly to changes in the sun's position. Furthermore, the lack of effective support structures during the adjustment process can lead to instability and pose safety risks. Utility Model Content
[0005] In response to the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide an intelligently adjustable photovoltaic carport, which can realize a carport device that can automatically and accurately adjust the angle of the photovoltaic panels, thereby ensuring that the photovoltaic panels always face the sun at the optimal angle to improve the efficiency of light energy absorption, and providing stable support during the adjustment process to ensure the safety and reliability of the equipment.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0007] An intelligently adjustable photovoltaic carport comprises a plurality of brackets fixed to the ground at equal intervals, wherein the tops of the brackets are rotatably connected to photovoltaic panels, and a panel body for collecting light energy is provided on the inner side of the photovoltaic panel frame;
[0008] A driving mechanism is provided between the plurality of brackets and the photovoltaic panel rack, and the driving mechanism is used to adjust the elevation angle of the photovoltaic panel rack;

[0012] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a sprocket sleeved on one end of the horizontal shaft;
[0013] a motor connected to the bracket;
[0014] A chain is connected between the output end of the motor and the sprocket.
[0015] Furthermore, the auxiliary support mechanism includes a reinforcement plate fixed to one side of the bracket;
[0016] A top plate fixed to one side of the photovoltaic panel rack;
[0017] A hydraulic rod is rotatably connected between the reinforcement plate and the top plate.
[0018] Furthermore, the number of the hydraulic rods is set to be multiple, and the multiple hydraulic rods are arranged at equal intervals along the length direction of the photovoltaic panel frame.
[0019] Furthermore, a first positioning column is provided on the side of the reinforcement plate;
[0020] A second positioning column is provided on the side of the top plate;
[0021] The fixed end and the telescopic end of the hydraulic rod are both connected to a positioning plate;

[0026] In response to the problems in the existing technology that manual adjustment of the angle of photovoltaic panels is labor-intensive, cannot be accurately controlled, and has difficulty in responding to changes in the position of the sun in a timely manner, the utility model adopts an automatic adjustment mechanism driven by a motor, which cooperates with a light sensor and a controller to achieve precise and automatic adjustment of the angle of the photovoltaic panels without the need for human intervention, can respond to changes in the position of the sun in a timely manner, and improve the intelligence level of the system.
[0027] Furthermore, to address issues such as a lack of effective support for the photovoltaic panels during adjustment, resulting in unstable equipment and potential safety hazards, the present invention incorporates an auxiliary support mechanism.
