[0031] 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 some embodiments of the present invention, not all 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.

[0032] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, an angle-adjustable balcony solar panel bracket includes a first frame 1, a second frame 2 and a third frame 3.

[0033] The first frame 1 is used to securely mount a solar panel 4. A solar panel can also be referred to as a photovoltaic module. The first frame 1 includes, but is not limited to, a square frame. The square frame can securely mount the photovoltaic module.

[0034] The second frame 2 has one end rotatably connected to one end of the first frame 1. This rotatable connection can be implemented in a variety of ways. In one embodiment, the second frame is rotatably connected to one end of the first frame via a first fastener. The first fastener has a first rotating shaft at one end and a first clamping groove at the other end. The first clamping groove is fixed to the first frame, and the first rotating shaft is connected to the second frame. Thus, the second frame can rotate relative to the first frame under the action of the first rotating shaft.

[0035] The third frame 3 has one end rotatably connected to the other end of the first frame 1, and the other end of the third frame 3 and the other end of the second frame 2 are fixedly connected when they are rotated together; the third frame 3 is provided with a first adjusting rod 31 and a second adjusting rod 32, the first adjusting rod 31 is provided with a long strip-shaped adjusting groove 33, and the side of the adjusting groove 33 is provided with a plurality of spaced first adjusting holes 34; the second adjusting rod 32 is provided with a second adjusting hole; when the second adjusting rod 32 is inserted into the adjusting groove 33, a bolt 35 is adjustably inserted into a first adjusting hole 34 and a second adjusting hole at different positions for fixing, so that the first frame 1 has different angles relative to the second frame 2.

[0036] Among them, the third frame 3 can be rotatably connected to the other end of the first frame 1 through a second fastener 5. One end of the second fastener 5 is provided with a second rotating shaft 51, and the other end is provided with a second clamping groove 52. The second clamping groove 52 is fixed on the first frame 1, and the second rotating shaft 51 is connected to the third frame 3. In this way, under the action of the second rotating shaft, the third frame can rotate relative to the first frame.

[0037] The structure of the first fastener and the second fastener can be selected to be the same, so that only one size of fastener is required for installation. Figure 2 shown.

[0038] The second adjustment hole can preferably be 1. Of course, in a specific embodiment, multiple second adjustment holes can also be selected, and in actual use, only one second adjustment hole is selected for use.

[0039] The number of first adjustment holes 34 can be two, three, four, five, or more; the specific number can be set according to the actual size and needs. As a specific embodiment, this embodiment selects four first adjustment holes. This allows for adjustment at four different angles, achieving four levels of adjustable angle.

[0040] In this way, on the one hand, by having a bolt 35 adjustably inserted into a first adjustment hole 34 and a second adjustment hole at different positions for fixing, the first frame 1 has different angles relative to the second frame 2, thereby achieving the solar panel fixedly installed on the first frame to be able to be adjusted at different angles.

[0041] On the other hand, since one end of the second frame 2 is rotatably connected to one end of the first frame 1 and one end of the third frame 3 is rotatably connected to the other end of the first frame 1, the balcony solar panel bracket can be well stored and conveniently transported. At the same time, it is also quick and convenient to install.

[0042] As a specific implementation manner, the first frame, the second frame and the third frame are all made of aluminum alloy. This all-aluminum alloy design can achieve higher strength.

[0043] As a specific embodiment, the first frame 1 is secured with a microinverter 6. This allows for integrated assembly, packaging, and shipping. The microinverter converts the DC power generated by the photovoltaic panels into AC power for the grid or home, directly connecting it to the grid or home. The microinverter utilizes a lower DC voltage, reducing fire risk and improving safety.

[0044] When using it specifically, you can choose Figure 4 As shown, the second frame 2 is fixed with a load-bearing block 7. This allows the ground load-bearing device to be placed and directly deployed on the balcony for use.

[0045] As an optional specific usage mode, the second frame can also be fixed to the wall with fixing members such as bolts or screws to achieve fixed hanging use on the wall.

[0046] As a third alternative specific usage, see Figure 3 As shown, the second frame 2 is fixed with a hook 8, so that it can be hung on the guardrail on the balcony through the hook 8 for hanging use.

[0047] In summary, the main structure of this balcony solar panel bracket can be designed with an all-aluminum alloy for the first, second, and third frames, achieving high strength. For example, in a ground-loaded installation, the second frame serves as the base bracket, and the third frame acts as an adjustable telescopic bracket. The first and second fasteners can be of uniform size. This allows for complete factory pre-assembly and four adjustable angles to accommodate varying sunlight exposure.

[0048] In terms of application scenarios, it can be used in multiple scenarios such as ground load placement, wall bolt hanging, guardrail hook hanging, etc. to meet the different application scenarios of customers.

[0049] In terms of design and installation, the main structure (first frame, second frame and third frame) and photovoltaic panels and micro inverters can be assembled, packaged and shipped as a whole. After disassembly, only the matching tools are needed and two positioning bolts can be installed at a time to complete the assembly. It can be installed by one person anytime and anywhere, and can be installed and used quickly. The design further reduces the installation steps and improves the installation efficiency of similar products.

[0050] The series of detailed descriptions listed above are only specific descriptions of feasible embodiments of the present invention. They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent embodiments or changes that do not deviate from the technical spirit of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
