Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic panel installation, in particular to a handheld locator. Background Art
[0002] Photovoltaic panel racks are used to support solar panels, ensuring they are stably mounted on the ground, roof or other structures. Through special fixing devices, photovoltaic panel racks fix the panels in the appropriate position to prevent movement or damage caused by natural factors such as wind and rain. Photovoltaic panel racks can be designed to be adjustable to maintain the optimal tilt angle of the panels, thereby maximizing the reception of solar radiation and improving power generation efficiency.
[0003] When installing photovoltaic panel racks, measurement and positioning are required to facilitate the rapid construction of each bracket. Existing measurement tools have single functions. A tape measure is generally used to measure the length, and a marker is used to roughly mark the fixed point. This results in a certain deviation, which makes it difficult to fix the bracket in the end. At the same time, when two brackets need to be fixed with bolts, the staff can only fix the bracket with one hand and the bolt with the other hand. This is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the brackets are prone to offset, resulting in inaccurate positioning.
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a handheld locator to solve the problems raised in the above background technology. Utility Model Content

[0007] The fixing mechanism includes a fixing seat, one side of the fixing seat is movably connected to the first threaded rod, the outside of the first threaded rod is fixedly connected to the first auxiliary bevel gear, one side of the first threaded rod is movably connected to a positioning block, one side of the positioning block is movably connected to the second threaded rod, the outside of the second threaded rod is fixedly connected to the second auxiliary bevel gear, the lower part of the second auxiliary bevel gear is meshed with the main bevel gear, the inside of the main bevel gear is fixedly connected to a rocker, the inside of the rocker is movably connected to a pin, a limiting hole is provided below the fixing seat, the outside of the first threaded rod is slidably connected to a slider, and the upper part of the slider is fixedly connected to a moving block.
[0008] Furthermore, the measuring mechanism includes a rotating gear, a rack is meshedly connected to the bottom of the rotating gear, an auxiliary bar is fixedly connected to one side of the rack, a movable groove is opened inside the measuring mechanism, a limiting block is fixedly connected above the movable groove, and a scale line is engraved on the outside of the measuring structure.
[0009] Furthermore, the positioning grooves are symmetrically installed inside the connecting block, and the measuring mechanism can be parallel to the fixing mechanism after being folded through the connecting block.
[0010] Furthermore, the first threaded rod and the second threaded rod are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the positioning block respectively, the central axes of the first auxiliary bevel gear and the second auxiliary bevel gear are parallel to each other, and the first auxiliary bevel gear and the second auxiliary bevel gear are meshed with the main bevel gear.
[0011] Furthermore, a threaded groove is provided inside the slider, and an anti-slip pad is installed on one side of the moving block.

[0014] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. The handheld locator proposed by the present invention can use a fixing mechanism when installing and fixing the photovoltaic panel bracket. It only requires hand-cranking the rocker to drive the first threaded rod and the second threaded rod to rotate through the main bevel gear, so that the slider moves relatively, thereby driving the moving block fixedly connected above to clamp the support rod that needs to be fixed, and fixing the pin in the limit hole to facilitate the clamping and fixing of the fixing block, and facilitate the installer to bolt the support rod to prevent the positioning from sliding during the installation process. When not in use, the locator can be folded through the connecting block for easy carrying.
[0016] 2. The handheld locator proposed in the present invention needs to measure the distance first when installing the photovoltaic panel bracket, and use the scale line on the measuring mechanism to measure.
