Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of photovoltaic technology, and in particular relates to a photovoltaic support bracket. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, fixed support structures are widely used in photovoltaic (PV) power generation in both plains and mountainous areas due to their simple structure and good stability. However, the installation process is relatively cumbersome, especially in mountainous PV projects. The complexity of the terrain presents greater challenges to the installation of PV supports and modules, requiring each module to be fixed to the support piece by piece, which significantly reduces installation efficiency and increases labor costs. Therefore, a quick and convenient way to fix the modules to the support is crucial, particularly for short-term, high-efficiency PV projects. To effectively solve the problem of rapid module installation, a support structure capable of quickly installing PV modules is needed.

[0003] Patent document CN221531363U discloses a convenient photovoltaic bracket fixing device. It includes a first support leg, a second support leg, an inclined beam, a first crossbeam, and a second crossbeam. The first and second crossbeams form the entire crossbeam. The opposite ends of the first and second crossbeams are hinged together. The end of the first crossbeam facing the second crossbeam is semi-circular; the end of the second crossbeam facing the first crossbeam is composed of an arc-shaped indentation and a chamfered angle. This patent pre-configures the positions of the first and second support legs according to the sunlight angle at the installation location, and then pre-installs a set of photovoltaic brackets. To reduce transportation space, the crossbeam is modified into a split type, allowing the two sets of first and second support legs to be brought closer together, thus reducing transportation space. Simultaneously, both the first and second support legs are fixed to the inclined beam by hinges, allowing them to be folded up to further reduce transportation space. However, this component...

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model is further described below, but the scope of protection is not limited to what is described.

[0022] Example:

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a photovoltaic support structure includes a column A1, a column B2, a support rod A3, a support rod B4, and a support frame assembly. Clamps 6 are respectively installed on columns A1 and B2, and connectors 5 are installed on the support frame assembly. Columns A1 and B2 are connected to the support frame assembly via connectors 5. One end of support rod A3 is connected to the clamp 6 on column A1, and the other end is connected to connector 5. One end of support rod B4 is connected to the clamp 6 on column B2, and the other end is connected to connector 5. Support rods A3 and B4 are inclined to support the upper support frame assembly and transmit its force to columns A1 and B2, ensuring structural stability.

[0024] The support frame assembly protects the frame of the photovoltaic module, enhances the sealing performance of the photovoltaic module, improves its mechanical strength, and increases its service life. The support frame assembly includes a sliding crossbeam 8 and an inclined beam clamp 12. The sliding crossbeam 8 includes a crossbeam 11 with a mounting groove A111. The crossbeam 11 is C-shaped. The inclined beam clamp 12 has a mounting groove B121 with a C-shaped arrangement. The sliding crossbeam 8 extends into the mounting groove B121 for connection.

[0025] The inner wall of one side of the mounting groove A111 is provided with a sliding groove A9, and the inner wall of the other side of the mounting groove A111 is provided with a sliding groove B10. The crossbeam 11 is provided with a screw hole A112.

[0026] The slide groove A9 has a sawtooth cross-section, and the slide groove B10 has an arc cross-section. The openings of the slide groove A9 and the openings of the slide groove B10 are opposite to each other.

[0027] Because the standard components of photovoltaic modules have a serrated groove structure on the front frame, the serrated groove structure of groove A9 is designed to better fit the groove structure on the front frame of the photovoltaic module. During installation, the photovoltaic module can be slid into the mounting groove A111 along the frame, resulting in better fixation. The groove B10 at the bottom of the mounting groove A111 effectively supports the back frame of the photovoltaic module and can be made into an arc shape to limit the lateral sway of the back frame. The groove crossbeam 8 ensures that both the front and back of the photovoltaic module frame are firmly fixed, improving the overall stability of the frame structure of the support module. During installation, simply align the photovoltaic module frame with the groove crossbeam 8 and push it in to achieve continuous installation of the photovoltaic module.

[0028] Bolts 7 are installed on the inclined beam clamping plate 12. Screw holes B124 are respectively provided on clamping plates A122 and B123 of the inclined beam clamping plate 12. The screw holes B124 on clamping plate A122 and clamping plate B123 are symmetrically arranged. Bolts 7 pass through clamping plates A122 and B123 via screw holes B124. After the sliding crossbeam component 8 is installed in the mounting groove B121, it is fastened by bolts 7 passing through screw holes A112, B124 on clamping plate A122, and B124 on clamping plate B123, thus fastening the sliding crossbeam component 8 to the inclined beam clamping plate 12, forming a frame-like support frame assembly. Several rectangular areas within the support frame assembly are mainly formed by two parallel sliding crossbeam components 8 fastened to two parallel inclined beam clamping plates 12, with the sliding crossbeam components 8 perpendicular to the inclined beam clamping plate 12.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, photovoltaic modules can be installed in the four rectangular areas divided by the support frame assembly. Since the sliding crossbeam 8 can slide in the mounting groove B121 on the inclined beam clamp 12, the area of ​​the rectangular area is variable and can accommodate the installation of different numbers of photovoltaic modules.

[0030] The heights of the columns A1 and B2 are different, specifically, the height of column A1 is less than the height of column B2. The support frame assembly is inclined to the horizontal plane so that the photovoltaic modules fixed thereto can be tilted to better capture solar energy for power generation.
