Technical Field

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

[0002] In practical applications, the limited rooftop area restricts the installation of residential distributed photovoltaic (PV) systems, resulting in low utilization rates. While facade PV applications primarily utilize curtain wall PV, this method suffers from a significant drawback: the solar incidence angle is often suboptimal. The building's orientation and curtain wall design prevent the PV panels from receiving sunlight at the optimal angle, leading to inefficient power generation and significantly impacting the profitability of PV power generation. Existing technologies adjust the panel angle by rotating the structure, but this requires lifting one end of the supporting structure before moving the panels to the desired position. Given the weight of the panels, this is inconvenient and poses safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0027] The following is combined Figures 1 to 4 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0028] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a photovoltaic support bracket is provided, comprising:

[0029] Photovoltaic fastener 1, which has a working surface suitable for placing photovoltaic panel 6;

[0030] At least two hangers 2 are provided on the same plane. The hangers 2 are suitable for being fixedly connected to the building facade 7. The hangers 2 are rotatably mounted on the photovoltaic fixing component 1 to achieve the angle adjustment between the working surface and the plane where the building facade 7 is located. An adjustment channel 21 is provided on the hanger 2 along its length direction. Multiple adjustment points 22 are provided on the adjustment channel 21.

[0031] The rotating support assembly has its first end rotatably mounted on the photovoltaic fixing component 1, and its second end snapped onto the adjustment point 22.

[0032] It should be noted that the working surface of the photovoltaic fixing component 1 is used to place the photovoltaic panel 6. It can be designed with a shape that adapts to the size and shape of the photovoltaic panel 6, providing a flat and stable bearing platform to prevent the panel from shifting or shaking. Its material has a certain strength and hardness, can withstand the weight of the panel for a long time, remains stable in various environments, and has a good surface treatment with anti-slip properties.

[0033] It should be noted that in this embodiment, a profile of a certain length is used as the hanger 2, one end of which is hinged to the photovoltaic fixing member 1 to allow the photovoltaic fixing member 1 to rotate freely relative to the hanger 2, thereby adjusting the angle of the photovoltaic panel 6. Here, the specific material and specifications of the profile are not limited; more specifically, they are selected according to the specific dimensions of the photovoltaic panel 6 to be adjusted.

[0034] An adjustment channel 21 is provided along the length of the profile, which provides accurate guidance and accommodation space for the rotation support assembly. The adjustment point 22 can adopt a slot or locking design to ensure a reliable connection with the locking end of the rotation support assembly, avoiding angular displacement due to slight vibration or external interference, thereby ensuring the stability and continuity of the photovoltaic power generation process.

[0035] Specifically, the rotating support component plays a connecting and adjusting role in the entire photovoltaic support system. Its first end is rotatably mounted on the photovoltaic fixing component 1 via a pin and a bearing, ensuring that the rotating support component and the photovoltaic fixing component 1 can move flexibly relative to each other during angle adjustment without hindering the adjustment of the photovoltaic panel 6 angle. The second end is engaged with the adjustment point 22. On the one hand, it must ensure reliable engagement at different adjustment points 22 so that the photovoltaic panel 6 can be stably maintained after being adjusted to the required angle. On the other hand, it must be able to withstand the weight of the photovoltaic panel 6 and possible external forces, such as wind and minor impacts, to prevent unexpected changes in the angle of the photovoltaic panel 6 due to loose engagement, thereby ensuring the stable and efficient operation of the entire photovoltaic system.

[0036] The photovoltaic bracket provided in this embodiment features a mounting bracket 2 rotatably mounted on a photovoltaic fixing component 1. A rotating support assembly connects the two, eliminating the need to separate the rotating support assembly from the photovoltaic module or dismantle the photovoltaic bracket. This allows for flexible adjustment of the photovoltaic panel 6 angle, enabling the panel to receive sunlight at an ideal angle in different times and seasons to improve power generation efficiency. At least two mounting brackets 2 are on the same plane and can be fixed to the building facade 7, adapting to various shapes of building facades 7 and maximizing space utilization. The adjustment channel 21 and multiple adjustment points 22 of the mounting bracket 2, in conjunction with the rotating support assembly, allow users to easily adjust the angle without complex auxiliary tools or professional skills. Simultaneously, the entire bracket structure design ensures safety and reliability during use and adjustment. In long-term use, this stable structure can withstand various external forces, such as the effects of wind and rain, ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the photovoltaic bracket and photovoltaic panel 6.

[0037] Furthermore, the adjustment point 22 is an oblique hole that is connected to the adjustment channel 21 and extends in a direction away from the photovoltaic fixing component 1.

[0038] As easily understood, the angled hole has a self-locking effect. After the rotating support component is inserted, the external force is distributed along the pressure on the wall of the angled hole, enhancing the locking stability, preventing dislodgement, and ensuring the stability of the photovoltaic panel 6 at the angle. Furthermore, the angled hole provides more flexible operating space for angle adjustment, allowing the rotating support component to move more smoothly during adjustment, enabling more precise angle positioning, optimizing the light-gathering effect of the photovoltaic panel 6, and improving power generation efficiency. Since the adjustment point 22 is connected to the adjustment channel 21, when adjusting the position of the rotating support component, simply slide it along the extension direction of the adjustment point 22 into the adjustment channel 21, and then slide it along the adjustment channel 21 to the predetermined adjustment point 22, reducing the adjustment potential energy and making operation more convenient.

[0039] In one optional embodiment, an elastic snap-fit ​​structure can be used as the adjustment point 22. An elastic snap-fit ​​with a matching groove is provided in the adjustment channel 21. When the rotating support component is inserted, the snap-fit ​​deforms and locks the end, using elastic restoring force to secure the connection. The elastic coefficient can be adjusted to adapt to different photovoltaic panels 6. In another optional embodiment, a magnetic adsorption point can be used as the adjustment point 22. Magnetic materials attract each other at the ends of the adjustment channel 21 and the rotating support component, securing them with magnetic force for convenient operation.

[0040] Furthermore, the distance between two adjacent adjustment points 22 gradually decreases from the end closest to the connection between the photovoltaic fixing component 1 and the hanging component 2 to the other end farther away.

[0041] It is easy to understand that subtle changes in the angle adjustment near the connection point have a relatively small impact on the light transmission of the photovoltaic panel 6. A larger spacing can meet the rough adjustment of a larger angle range, and the angle of the photovoltaic panel 6 can be quickly changed to adapt to large-span changes in lighting conditions such as different seasons.

[0042] In detail, the spacing between adjustment points 22 needs to be calculated based on the common angle adjustment requirements of photovoltaic panels 6. No restrictions are placed on the specific spacing selection here.

[0043] Furthermore, a plurality of hinge holes 11 are provided along the length direction of the photovoltaic fixing component 1, and the first end of the rotating support component can be rotatably disposed in any of the hinge holes 11.

[0044] Intuitively, multiple hinge holes 11 provide various options for the installation of the rotating support assembly. In practical applications, the most suitable hinge hole 11 can be selected based on the size and weight distribution of the photovoltaic panel 6 and the installation environment of the building facade 7, making the photovoltaic support system more flexible and adaptable. Different hinge hole 11 selections will change the positional relationship between the rotating support assembly and the photovoltaic fixing component 1, affecting the angle adjustment range and accuracy of the photovoltaic panel 6. For example, for large-size photovoltaic panels 6, selecting an outer hinge hole 11 is more conducive to balancing the weight and achieving ideal angle adjustment, ensuring the light-gathering and power generation status of the photovoltaic panel 6 under different operating conditions.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, five hinge holes 11 are equidistantly spaced along the length of the photovoltaic fixing component 1. Initially, the rotating support assembly can be placed in the middle hinge hole 11. During actual installation and debugging, it can be adjusted according to the actual installation situation and installation position to place the rotating end of the rotating support assembly in the most suitable hinge hole 11. Here, the specific location and number of hinge holes 11 are not limited.

[0046] Furthermore, the rotating support assembly includes a rotating support member 3 and an adjusting rod 4. The axis of the adjusting rod 4 is perpendicular to the length direction of the hanger 2. The adjusting rod 4 is slidably disposed in the adjusting channels 21 on at least two hangers 2 and is engaged with the adjusting point 22. The first end of the rotating support member 3 is rotatably connected to the photovoltaic fixing member 1, and the second end is rotatably disposed on the adjusting rod 4.

[0047] In simple terms, the adjusting rod 4 is perpendicular to the length of the mounting bracket 2, and can slide on the adjusting channel 21 and engage with the adjusting point 22, allowing for flexible and precise adjustment of the angle of the photovoltaic panel 6. The rotating support 3 is rotatably connected at both ends to the photovoltaic fixing bracket 1 and the adjusting rod 4, respectively, accommodating changes in the position of the adjusting rod 4. This dual-rotation connection method, on the one hand, can adapt to angle differences caused by changes in the position of the adjusting rod 4, ensuring connection stability; on the other hand, when the photovoltaic panel 6 is subjected to external forces (such as wind, vibration, etc.), the rotation can buffer part of the external force, reducing the impact on the support structure and effectively protecting the entire photovoltaic system. It can also adapt to different installation conditions and photovoltaic panel 6 specifications.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, the adjusting rod 4 and the rotating support 3 can be designed as an integrated structure, with one end connected to the photovoltaic fixing component 1 via a ball joint. An arc-shaped adjusting groove is provided on the mounting component 2, with slots of varying depths serving as adjusting points 22. The integrated adjusting rod 4 and rotating support 3 can move within the arc-shaped adjusting groove and engage with different slots to achieve angle adjustment. The ball joint allows for multi-directional rotation to adapt to adjustment requirements.

[0049] Furthermore, the two ends of the adjusting rod 4 are exposed on the side surfaces of the two side hangers 2; it also includes a locking member 5, which is disposed at both ends of the adjusting rod 4 and is adapted to realize the detachable connection between the adjusting rod 4 and the hanger 2.

[0050] In easy to understand, the adjustment rod 4 has exposed ends and locking parts 5 to achieve a detachable connection with the hanging part 2, which facilitates operation, installation and disassembly, and maintenance, while ensuring a stable connection and guaranteeing the stability and safety of the system.

[0051] Furthermore, the outer circumferential surfaces of both ends of the adjusting rod 4 are provided with external threads, and the locking part 5 is a butterfly nut. The butterfly nut is provided with an internal thread that mates with the external thread. When the butterfly nut is fitted onto both ends of the adjusting rod 4, the butterfly nut is rotated to abut against the side surfaces of the hook parts 2 on both sides.

[0052] As is easily understood, the threaded fit is secure and adjustable, while the butterfly nut facilitates manual operation. Rotating the butterfly nut to engage with the two side surfaces of the hook secures the adjusting rod 4, ensuring stability during use and ease of disassembly.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, threaded holes can be formed by recessing the two ends of the adjusting rod 4, and butterfly bolts are selected as locking elements 5. The butterfly bolts are inserted into the threaded holes at both ends to achieve adjustment and fixation. The recessed threaded holes can effectively protect the threaded part from the corrosion of external environmental factors, such as dust and rainwater, reduce connection problems caused by foreign objects entering the threads, and extend the service life of the locking element 5.

[0054] Furthermore, the mounting bracket 2 is provided with a hook 23, which is suitable for hanging on the building facade 7.

[0055] It is easy to understand that the hooks 23 on the mounting bracket 2 facilitate connection with the building facade 7, which can improve installation efficiency and save time and labor costs. Its connection is flexible and can adapt to minor changes in the building facade 7, reducing the impact on the stability of the photovoltaic support.

[0056] In detail, fixing bolts are also provided on hook 23 to enhance the stability of the connection with the building facade 7 and prevent loosening or displacement. They are adjustable, allowing the tightening degree to be adjusted according to the material and structural characteristics of the building facade 7, ensuring installation accuracy and enabling reliable and precise installation of the photovoltaic support system.

[0057] Furthermore, the connector 2 is also equipped with a clamp 24, which is suitable for fixed connection with the columns on the building facade 7.

[0058] In simple terms, the clamp 24 provides a stable and fixed connection to the columns on the building facade 7. In practical applications, when the building facade 7 has a column structure, the clamp 24 can tightly wrap around the column. By tightening the connecting components on the clamp 24, such as bolts, sufficiently large frictional and clamping forces are generated between the clamp 24 and the column. This connection method effectively utilizes the structural strength of the column for support, providing a reliable point of leverage for the entire system.

[0059] Furthermore, it also includes a clamp guide rail 25, which is arranged perpendicular to the length direction of the hanger 2, and the clamp 24 is slidably disposed in the clamp guide rail 25.

[0060] Intuitively, the clamp guide rail 25 increases the installation flexibility of the clamp 24, allowing for precise installation according to the column position and enhancing connection stability. It can handle minor irregularities on the building facade 7, facilitating subsequent maintenance and adjustments, and contributing to optimized system structure, improved operational efficiency, and extended lifespan.
