Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic component hoisting equipment, in particular to a photovoltaic panel hoisting device. Background Art

[0002] Typically, after photovoltaic modules are transported to the transfer point at the construction site, they are mainly transported from the transfer point to each photovoltaic array by forklifts. On some rugged sections of the road where forklifts cannot pass, manual towing or camel transportation are mainly used. The transportation efficiency is low, and the photovoltaic panels are easily damaged during transportation when moving on the rugged mountain roads, and the safety of the construction workers cannot be guaranteed.

[0003] Some photovoltaic power stations have currently introduced multi-rotor drones to transport and lift photovoltaic panels, effectively improving the transportation efficiency in complex areas. However, at this stage, multi-rotor drones mostly use a steel wire rope to hang photovoltaic panels. The upper part of the steel wire rope is fixed to the landing gear at the bottom of the drone, and the lower part is fastened to the reserved bolt holes of the photovoltaic panel through a lock for lifting and transportation. On the one hand, it is troublesome to lift the photovoltaic panels. On the other hand, during transportation, the photovoltaic panels are significantly affected by wind force due to their plate structure characteristics, and are easy to swing freely under the multi-rotor drone, affecting the overall stability of the drone transportation system during flight. During take-off and landing, the photovoltaic panels may collide with surrounding trees and photovoltaic brackets during the swinging process, causing damage to the photovoltaic panels.

[0009] The adsorption member is an electric suction cup, and the lifting component is an electrically controlled telescopic component. The telescopic end of the electrically controlled telescopic component faces downward and is connected to the adsorption member.

[0010] The photovoltaic panel hoisting device also includes a remote controller, and the adsorption component and the lifting assembly are both connected to the remote controller signal.

[0011] The lifting component is an electric cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder or an oil cylinder.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of the photovoltaic panel lifting device of the present invention is shown. The photovoltaic panel lifting device of this embodiment includes a drone 1, and a base frame 2 and moving wheels 3 arranged at the bottom of the drone 1. The moving wheels 3 are located below the base frame 2. The base frame 2 is provided with a lifting and adsorption mechanism 4, which is used to adsorb photovoltaic panels.

[0029] During operation, the drone 1 first flies over the photovoltaic panel, and the bottom of the lifting and adsorption mechanism 4 descends below the moving wheels 3 to absorb the panel. The drone 1 then transports the panel to the construction site. When not in use, the bottom of the lifting and adsorption mechanism 4 rises above the moving wheels 3, and the moving wheels 3 of the drone 1 rest on the platform. This photovoltaic panel lifting device, which uses the lifting and adsorption mechanism 4 below the drone 1 to absorb the photovoltaic panel, not only facilitates panel lifting but also provides high lifting stability, thereby protecting the panel.

[0030] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the lifting and adsorption mechanism 4 includes a lifting assembly 41 and an adsorption member 42. The lifting assembly 41 is provided on the base frame 2, and the adsorption member 42 is provided at the bottom of the lifting assembly 41. The lifting assembly 41 drives the adsorption member 42 to rise and fall, thereby realizing the movement of the adsorption member 42 between the upper and lower sides of the moving wheel 3.

[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the adsorption member 42 is an electric suction cup, and the lifting assembly 41 is an electrically controlled telescopic assembly, the telescopic end of which faces downward and is connected to the adsorption member 42. The lifting assembly 41 is an electrically controlled telescopic assembly, which is convenient for remote control.

[0032] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the photovoltaic panel hoisting device also includes a remote control. Both the suction element 42 and the lifting assembly 41 are signal-connected to the remote control (not shown in the figures). This allows for remote control of the suction element 42 and the lifting assembly 41. Preferably, the drone 1 is signal-connected to the remote control. The suction element 42, lifting assembly 41, drone 1, and remote control can all be commercially available. Preferably, the suction element 42 is an electric glass suction cup.

[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the lifting component 41 is an electric cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder or an oil cylinder.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the chassis 2 includes two spaced-apart transverse bars 21 and two spaced-apart longitudinal bars 22. The ends of the transverse bars 21 are fixed to the two longitudinal bars 22, respectively. The bottom of the drone 1 is fixed to the two transverse bars 21, and the ends of the longitudinal bars 22 are each provided with a lifting and adsorption mechanism 4. This structure of the chassis 2 allows the lifting and adsorption mechanism 4 to be positioned outside the orthographic projection of the drone 1, avoiding interference with the arrangement of the moving wheels 3.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a mounting seat 5 is provided on the outer side of the end of the longitudinal rod 22 , and the lifting adsorption mechanism 4 is provided on the mounting seat 5 .

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the mounting base 5 is fixed to the longitudinal rod 22 by a first bolt 6, and the cross bar 21 and the longitudinal rod 22 are fixedly connected by a second bolt 7. The connection by the first bolt 6 and the second bolt 7 has a simple structure and is easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a flat plate 8 is provided at the bottom of the drone 1, and the flat plate 8 is fixed on the two cross bars 21. Preferably, the bottom surface of the flat plate 8 is fixed on the upper surface of the two cross bars 21.

[0038] Example 2:

[0039] Figure 2Another embodiment of the photovoltaic panel hoisting device of the present invention is also shown. The structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of the first embodiment, with the only difference being that a gyroscope sensor 9 is provided at the center of the bottom of the flat plate 8. The gyroscope sensor 9 can sense the current state of the photovoltaic panel. If the center of gravity shifts during the flight of the drone 1, the gyroscope sensor 9 can feed back a signal to the drone 1 controller to assist the operator in adjusting the drone 1.

[0040] The gyro sensor 9 is a commercially available component and is connected to the controller signal of the drone 1 .

Any person skilled in the art can, without departing from the scope of the present invention, utilize the technical content disclosed above to make many possible changes and modifications to the present invention, or modify it into equivalent embodiments with equivalent variations. Therefore, any simple modifications, equivalent variations, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention, without departing from the content of the present invention, should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
