Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic panel installation, in particular to a foldable bracket for a photovoltaic panel. Background Art
[0002] Solar photovoltaic systems, also known as photovoltaics or simply PV (derived from "photo" meaning light and "voltaics" meaning volt), are facilities that convert solar energy into direct current (DC) electricity using the photovoltaic effect of photovoltaic semiconductor materials. The core of a PV system is the solar panel. The semiconductor materials used for power generation primarily include monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, and cadmium telluride.
[0003] Photovoltaic panels are plate-like structures and require brackets to support them. Current photovoltaic panels cannot be flipped over after installation, which is inconvenient during use. In addition, they need to be fixed to corresponding brackets one by one during installation, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
[0004] In view of the above-mentioned defects, the designer has actively carried out research and innovation in order to create a foldable bracket for photovoltaic panels to make it more valuable for industrial use. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a foldable bracket for photovoltaic panels.
[0006] The utility model provides a foldable photovoltaic panel bracket, which includes multiple groups of support rods fixed to the foundation. The support rods are fixed with two parallel beams. Multiple groups of photovoltaic panels are installed between the beams. The photovoltaic panels are installed between the beams and can be folded on the beams.
[0007] This foldable photovoltaic panel bracket welds the support rods and beams together, and installs multiple groups of photovoltaic panels between the beams. The photovoltaic panels can be stacked, which makes it convenient to install them as a whole. After being installed on the beams, they can be unfolded.
[0008] Furthermore, there is a slot on the inner side of the crossbeam, and a connecting rod extending outward is provided in the middle of each photovoltaic panel. A roller is mounted on the connecting rod through a bearing, and the roller is stuck in the slot of the crossbeam.
[0009] The slot on the inside of the beam cooperates with the roller on the outer end of the photovoltaic panel, and the roller moves in the slot to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the photovoltaic panel.
[0010] Furthermore, there are inwardly bent baffles on the inner side of the crossbeam, and the connecting rod with the roller is clamped between the baffles 6.
[0011] A through slot is formed between the baffles on the inner side of the beam, and the connecting rod for mounting the roller is clamped in the through slot. The width of the through slot is smaller than the diameter of the roller to prevent the roller from slipping off the beam.
[0012] Furthermore, two adjacent photovoltaic panels are movably connected through multiple combination pages.
[0013] There are multiple combination pages between the photovoltaic panels to facilitate folding the photovoltaic panels.
[0014] Furthermore, the hinges located on the upper and lower sides of the photovoltaic panel are installed in front and back directions, and the hinges 7 installed in front and back directions are staggered between the two photovoltaic panels.
[0015] The hinges on the upper and lower sides of the photovoltaic panel are installed in a positive and negative manner. After installation, the photovoltaic panel can be folded forward and backward continuously for easy stacking.
[0016] Through the above scheme, the present invention has at least the following advantages: this photovoltaic panel foldable bracket, before transportation and installation, all photovoltaic panels are folded, and can be easily transported after folding. During installation, all rollers are located in the same straight line and can be quickly inserted into the beam. After insertion, the photovoltaic panels are unfolded for easy installation.

[0025] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0026] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 A foldable photovoltaic panel bracket described in a preferred embodiment of the utility model includes multiple groups of support rods 1 fixed to the foundation, two parallel beams 2 are fixed to the support rods 1, multiple groups of photovoltaic panels 3 are installed between the beams 2, and the photovoltaic panels 3 are installed between the beams 2. The photovoltaic panels 3 can be folded on the beams 2.
[0027] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 This foldable photovoltaic panel bracket includes two parallel beams 2, and multiple groups of support rods 1 are welded to the lower ends of the beams 2. The lower ends of the support rods 1 are fixed to the foundation, and the photovoltaic panels 3 are movably installed between the beams 2. After installation, the photovoltaic panels 3 can be folded. After folding, the photovoltaic panels 3 can be moved on the beams 2, which is convenient for installation and maintenance.
[0028] Furthermore, a slot 5 is provided on the inner side of the crossbeam 2 , and a connecting rod extending outward is provided in the middle of each photovoltaic panel 3 . A roller 4 is mounted on the connecting rod through a bearing, and the roller 4 is stuck in the slot 5 of the crossbeam 2 .
[0029] join Figure 4 There is a slot 5 on the inner side of the beam 2, and a connecting rod is installed in the middle position of the horizontal plates at both ends of the photovoltaic panel 3 to clamp the roller 4 in the slot 5 so that the photovoltaic panel 3 can move horizontally based on the slot 5.
[0030] Furthermore, there are inwardly bent baffles 6 on the inner side of the crossbeam 2 , and the connecting rod equipped with the roller 4 is clamped between the baffles 6 .
[0031] See also Figure 3 There are baffles 6 on the upper and lower sides of the inner side of the beam 2, and a through groove is formed between the baffles 6. When the photovoltaic panel 3 is installed, the connecting rod on the side of the photovoltaic panel 3 is pulled into the through groove between the baffles 6, and the roller 5 is stuck on the inner side of the baffle 6, which limits the relative position of the roller 5 and prevents the roller 5 from slipping off the beam 2.
[0032] Furthermore, two adjacent photovoltaic panels 3 are movably connected via multiple combination pages 7 .
[0033] See also Figure 1 and Figure 5 Adjacent photovoltaic panels 3 are movably installed through hinges 7, so that adjacent photovoltaic panels 3 can be folded. After folding, multiple photovoltaic panels 3 can be stacked, which is convenient for installation and transportation.
[0034] Furthermore, the hinges 7 located on the upper and lower sides of the photovoltaic panel 3 are installed in front and back directions, and the hinges 7 installed in front and back directions are staggered between the two photovoltaic panels 3.
[0035] The hinge installation methods on the front and back sides of the photovoltaic panel 3 are also different. The hinge installation method on the same side is the same, and the hinge installation method on the other side is reverse. During the folding operation, the photovoltaic panel 3 is folded upward and downward in an alternating manner, which is convenient for operation.
[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0037] When transporting this foldable photovoltaic panel support, the support rods 1 and the crossbeams 2 are placed in a dispersed manner, and the photovoltaic panels 3 are stacked and folded under the action of the hinges, so that the photovoltaic panels 3 can be conveniently transported.
[0038] After being transported to the designated location, the support rod 1 and the beam 2 are first spliced and fixed to the foundation. The spacing between the beams 2 is equal to the width of the photovoltaic panel 3. The stacked photovoltaic panels 3 are directly transported between the beams 2. The rollers 4 on the side walls of the photovoltaic panels 3 are aligned with the slots 5 on the beams 2. After alignment, multiple photovoltaic panels 3 are installed at one time. After the photovoltaic panels 3 are moved to the middle of the beam 2, the photovoltaic panels 3 are opened. The photovoltaic panels 3 have a certain thickness. The thickness of the side walls of the photovoltaic panels 3 and the cooperation of the hinges 7 are used to make the photovoltaic panels 3 in a flat state, and the installation of the photovoltaic panels 3 is completed.
