[0036] Example 1:

[0037] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a solar panel bracket for supporting a portable solar panel 200, maintaining the solar panel 200 at a certain angle to the ground, so that the light-receiving surface of the solar panel 200 faces the sun and works stably. Figure 3As shown, this embodiment is described with a foldable solar panel 200 as the working object. The solar panel 200 includes a frame portion 220 and at least two battery portions 210. The at least two battery portions 210 are embedded in the frame portion 220 at intervals along the horizontal direction. The battery portion 210 is composed of a plurality of solar cell silicon wafers connected in series and parallel, and the frame portion 220 is a foldable frame structure. The solar panel bracket includes at least two support units 100 that can be selectively spliced ​​left and right, and the support unit 100 includes a supporting plate 20, a bottom supporting plate 10, a limiting plate 40 and a supporting plate 30, wherein the supporting plate 20 is rotatably connected to the bottom supporting plate 10, and the supporting plate 20 is used to support the back of the solar panel 200. The upper end of the supporting plate 30 is rotatably connected to the back of the supporting plate 20, and the supporting plate 30 is used to support the supporting plate 20. The lower end of the supporting plate 30 serves as a movable end and can be pressed against the bottom supporting plate 10 so that the supporting plate 20 is set at an angle to the ground. The limiting plate 4020 is superimposed on the side of the supporting plate 20 away from the support plate 30, and a clamping gap 41 for clamping the solar panel 200 is formed between the limiting plate 40 and the supporting plate 20.

[0038] Specifically, the solar panel support provided in this embodiment includes at least two support units 100. Each support unit 100 can be selectively spliced ​​or split left and right. Compared with an integrated support, the lateral span of a single support point is smaller, and the point of supporting the solar panel 200 can be flexibly adjusted. The support unit 100 is installed on the frame structure of the solar panel support to reduce the obstruction of the effective light-receiving area and improve the power generation efficiency. The support unit 100 supports the back of the solar panel 200 through a support plate 20. A limit plate 40 is provided on the front side of the support plate 20. A clamping gap 41 is formed between the limit plate 40 and the support plate 20 to support the solar panel 200 and limit the position of the solar panel. A support plate 30 is rotatably provided on the back side of the support plate 20 to maintain the support plate 20 at an angle inclined with the ground, so that the solar panel 200 is maintained in an inclined upward working posture. In summary, the solar panel bracket provided in this embodiment can stably support and clamp the solar panel 200, flexibly adjust the support point position, reduce the obstruction of the effective light-receiving area of ​​the solar panel 200, and improve the power generation efficiency.

[0039] In this embodiment, the solar panel support includes three support units 100, and the three support units 100 can be assembled left and right in sequence. Figure 1 As shown, in the assembled state, the three support units 100 form an integral support frame, which can accommodate and centrally support a single point of the solar panel 200 as a whole; Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in the separated state, the three support units 100 can respectively support the solar panels 200, and the support points can be flexibly set at the bottom of the frame part 220, and are set in the gap between adjacent power generation parts. It is very flexible to use and can effectively avoid the power generation part.

[0040] For example, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the width of the support unit 100 is smaller than the spacing between two adjacent battery parts 210. In this way, the support unit 100 can be inserted into the gap between two adjacent battery parts 210. Even if the battery part 210 is completely exposed, it is ensured that the battery part 210 is not blocked by the limiting plate 40 of the solar panel bracket, further increasing the effective light-receiving area of ​​the battery part 210 and improving the power generation efficiency.

[0041] Exemplarily, the support unit 100 includes a fitting edge 1 , which is provided at a side edge of a splicable side of the support unit 100 , and the fitting edges 1 of two adjacent support units 100 can fit together.

[0042] Furthermore, the fitting edge 1 extends along a zigzag path or a wavy path to form a plurality of raised portions and recessed portions, and the raised portions and recessed portions of adjacent fitting edges 1 fit together to guide the user to quickly assemble the pieces. In this embodiment, the fitting edge 1 extends along a zigzag path.

[0043] For example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, two adjacent supporting plates 20 can be spliced ​​together. A fitting edge 1 is provided on the supporting plate 20 , and the fitting edge 1 can guide the supporting plates 20 of two adjacent supporting units 100 to be spliced ​​together.

[0044] For example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, two adjacent limiting plates 40 can be spliced ​​together. The limiting plates 40 are provided with a fitting edge 1 , and the fitting edge 1 can guide the limiting plates 40 of two adjacent supporting units 100 to be spliced ​​together.

[0045] Exemplarily, a connecting component can be provided on the interlocking edge 1, and the connecting component can connect the two interlocking edges 1 that are interlocked with each other to keep the solar panel bracket in a stable assembled state. The connecting component can be a detachable connecting structure such as a Velcro structure, a magnetic structure, or a snap structure.

[0046] For example, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom support plate 10 is provided with a positioning groove 11, and the movable end of the support plate 30 can be plugged into the positioning groove 11. The positioning groove 11 is set as a strip structure, and the positioning groove 11 extends along the width direction of the support plate 30. Figure 4As shown, when the lower end of the support plate 30 is inserted into the positioning groove 11, the lower end of the support plate 30 is limited. It can be seen from the geometric characteristics of the triangular structure that at this time, the triangular structure composed of the bottom support plate 10, the supporting plate 20 and the support plate 3030 is fixed, and the angle between the bottom support plate 10 and the supporting plate 20 is locked, so the supporting plate 20 is stabilized at the corresponding specific tilt angle, and the solar panel 200 can be stably supported.

[0047] For example, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, at least two positioning grooves 11 are provided on the bottom support plate 10. Along the direction away from the connection point between the supporting plate 20 and the bottom support plate 10, at least two positioning grooves 11 are distributed side by side and at intervals. The lower end of the support plate 30 can be inserted into any positioning groove 11 to change the position where the lower end of the support plate 30 is limited, thereby adjusting the angle between the bottom support plate 10 and the supporting plate 20, so that the user can adjust the orientation of the solar panel 200 according to the real-time height of the sun.

[0048] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, four positioning grooves 11 are provided on the bottom support plate 10. When the second end of the support plate 30 is inserted into different positioning grooves 11, the corresponding angles between the bottom support plate 10 and the supporting plate 20 are 15°, 30°, 45° and 60° respectively.

[0049] For example, Figure 4 As shown, a clearance groove 201 is provided on one side of the supporting plate 20 facing the supporting plate 30, and the upper end of the supporting plate 30 is rotatably connected to the upper edge of the clearance groove 201. When stored, the supporting plate 30 can be completely accommodated in the clearance groove 201, thereby improving the flatness of the solar panel bracket when stored and reducing the storage volume.

[0050] For example, Figure 5 As shown, the support plate 20 is configured as a double-layer plate structure, comprising an inner layer plate 21 and an outer layer plate 22. The upper ends of the inner layer plate 21 and the outer layer plate 22 are bent and connected, and the inner layer plate 21 and the outer layer plate 22 are connected by adhesive. The inner layer plate 21 is provided on the side of the support plate 20 facing the support plate 30, while the outer layer plate 22 is provided on the side of the support plate 20 facing away from the support plate 30. The double-layer plate structure can enhance the structural strength of the support plate 20 and improve the support stability.

[0051] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the clearance groove 201 is opened on the inner layer plate 21 , and the support plate 30 is connected to the inner layer plate 21 .

[0052] Exemplarily, the bottom support plate 10 is connected to the bottom end of the inner layer 21, the limit plate 40 is connected to the bottom end of the outer layer 22, and local points of the limit plate 40 are bonded to the outer layer 22 by adhesive, thereby fixing the limit plate 40 in a position stacked on the outer layer 22.

[0053] For example, Figure 5 As shown, a lifting portion 42 is provided in the clamping gap 41 , and the lifting portion 42 is used to support the bottom of the solar panel 200 inserted into the clamping gap 41 , thereby increasing the height of the solar panel 200 and the ground clearance.

[0054] Exemplarily, the lifting portion 42 can be composed of hardened glue between the limiting plate 40 and the supporting plate 20, or it can be an independent rigid structural member bonded between the limiting plate 40 and the supporting plate 20, or it can be a raised structure formed by folding the limiting plate 40 inward or the supporting plate 20 outward. The lifting portion 42 provides multi-point support or continuous planar support to the bottom of the solar panel 200 to prevent damage to the bottom of the solar panel 200.

[0055] Exemplarily, the bottom support plate 10, the supporting plate 20 and the limiting plate 40 are all made of folded cardboard, and the surface of the cardboard is coated with a waterproof coating such as polyurethane coating, polypropylene coating, polyethylene coating, etc. to improve the waterproof performance of the solar panel bracket and extend its service life.

[0056] In some embodiments, the bottom support plate 10, the supporting plate 20 and the limiting plate 40 may also be made of materials such as plastic to improve structural strength and extend service life.

[0057] Example 2:

[0058] like Figure 6 As shown, based on the first embodiment, this embodiment provides another solar panel bracket, which differs from the first embodiment in that:

[0059] The solar panel bracket also includes a limit member 50, the support unit 100 does not include a bottom support plate, a first fixing hook 202 is provided on the side of the support plate 20 facing the support plate 30, and a second fixing hook 31 is provided on the support plate 30. One end of the limit member 50 is connected to the first fixing hook 202, and the other end is connected to the second fixing hook 31 to limit the angle between the support plate 20 and the support plate 30.

[0060] Specifically, the solar panel bracket provided in this embodiment limits the angle between the supporting plate 20 and the support plate 30 through the cooperation of the limit member 50 with the first fixing hook 202 and the second fixing hook 31. There is no need to set a bottom support plate, which reduces the contact area between the support unit 100 and the ground, so that it can adapt to more complex and uneven ground and has a wider applicability.

[0061] For example, Figure 6 As shown, the first fixing hook 202 is formed on the side edge of the clearance groove 201, and the second fixing hook 31 is formed by hollowing out the side edge of the corresponding side of the support plate 30. The first fixing hook 202 and the second fixing hook 31 are complementary in shape, with the hook portion of the first fixing hook 202 facing downward and the hook portion of the second fixing hook 31 facing upward. In this embodiment, the support plate 30 and the clearance groove 201 are formed by cutting the inner layer 21 of the support plate 20. During the cutting process, the first fixing hook 202 and the second fixing hook 31 can be cut out simultaneously, making the processing convenient, fast, and low-cost.

[0062] For example, the length of the limiting member 50 is adjustable, and the user can flexibly adjust the angle between the supporting plate 20 and the support plate 30 by adjusting the length of the limiting member 50 .

[0063] For example, the limiting member 50 may be a cable tie, a rope structure with a sliding buckle, etc., and the limiting member 50 is respectively placed on the first fixing hook 202 and the second fixing hook 31.

[0064] Obviously, the above-described embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the manner in which the present invention is to be implemented. A person skilled in the art would be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
