Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor manufacturing and processing technology, specifically a photovoltaic power generation mounting frame. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic (PV) mounting racks, also known as PV brackets or solar panel supports, are specialized support structures used to install and support solar panels. Their design must consider the specific geographical location, climate, and solar resource conditions of the PV modules to ensure that the modules are arranged at a specific orientation and angle with fixed spacing, thereby maximizing the absorption of solar radiation and improving power generation efficiency.

[0003] Most existing photovoltaic (PV) power generation installation racks use fixed supports, with their angles and orientations pre-set and then fixed in place. However, the optimal orientation and angle of the PV panels change with the seasons. For example, when the solar altitude angle is high, the installation angle can be adjusted to between 20° and 30° to improve power generation efficiency in summer; in winter, when the solar altitude angle is low, the installation angle needs to be adjusted to between 40° and 50° to maximize sunlight capture and power generation. Furthermore, existing PV power generation installation racks do not consider the seasonal movement of the sun's direct rays. For instance, in summer, when the solar altitude angle is high, the PV panels can be tilted slightly westward to capture more solar radiation in the afternoon; while in winter, they can be tilted slightly eastward to capture more morning and forenoon solar radiation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a photovoltaic power generation mounting frame in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a photovoltaic power generation mounting frame, including a base column, a groove formed on the outer wall of the base column, and a frame positioned above the base column. Multiple crossbeams are evenly distributed at the outer ends of the frame. An adjustment assembly is provided between the base column and the frame. The adjustment assembly includes a U-shaped fixing seat, which is bolted to the base column. A worm gear is rotatably connected to the inner side of the fixing seat, and brackets are rotatably connected to the two outer ends of the worm gear.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the utility model, a photovoltaic power generation mounting frame includes a base column 1, a sliding groove 2 is provided on the outer wall of the base column 1, and a frame 3 is provided above the base column 1. Multiple crossbeams 5 are distributed at equal intervals on the outer side of the frame 3, and an adjustment component 6 is provided between the base column 1 and the frame 3.

[0022] The adjusting component 6 includes a U-shaped fixed base 601, which is fixedly connected to the base column 1 by bolts. A worm gear 602 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the fixed base 601. A bracket 603 is rotatably connected to the two outer ends of the worm gear 602. The bracket 603 is located above the fixed base 601. A turbine 604 is rotatably connected to the middle of the upper end of the bracket 603 via a shaft. The turbine 604 meshes with the worm gear 602. Supports 605 are fixedly connected to the two outer ends of the shaft. Supports 605 are fixedly connected to the middle of the frame 3 by bolts.

[0023] A support assembly 4 is also provided between the base column 1 and the frame 3 to limit or release the relative rotation between the bracket 603 and the worm gear 602, so as to adjust the relative tilt angle between the base column 1 and the frame 3.

[0024] In this embodiment: Since most existing photovoltaic (PV) power generation mounting frames use fixed supports, their angles and orientations are pre-set and then fixedly assembled. However, with seasonal changes, the optimal orientation and angle of the PV panels change, failing to consider the seasonal movement of the sun's direct rays and thus failing to maximize sunlight capture and power generation. Therefore, this solution, by setting an adjustment component 6 and a support component 4 between the base column 1 and the frame 3, allows for easy adjustment of the orientation and angle of the PV panels after installation, maximizing sunlight capture and power generation, thereby further improving power generation efficiency.

[0025] Specifically, by driving the worm gear 602 to rotate the turbine 604, the shaft fixedly connected to the middle of the turbine 604 will drive the support 605 to swing left or right, thereby adjusting the orientation angle of the frame 3 to ensure that the photovoltaic panel faces the sun's direct rays as the optimal orientation, thus increasing power generation.

[0026] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 The adjustment assembly 6 also includes a motor 606, which is mounted on one side of the fixed base 601 and is used to drive the worm gear 602 to rotate relative to the fixed base 601; one end of the worm gear 602 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 606 through a coupling.

[0027] In this embodiment, the motor 606 drives the worm gear 602 to rotate relative to the fixed base 601, thereby driving the upper turbine 604 to rotate. It should be noted that the motor 606 in this solution is an existing servo motor, which can precisely adjust the left and right swing angle of the support 605 according to requirements.

[0028] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3 The support assembly 4 includes a slide 401, which is slidably assembled along the length of the slide groove 2. The inner end of the frame 3 is fixedly connected to a connecting seat 403 by bolts. A support rod 402 is provided between the slide 401 and the connecting seat 403. One end of the support rod 402 is rotatably connected to the slide 401, and the other end of the support rod 402 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 403 through a universal ball bearing assembly 404. The two ends of the universal ball bearing assembly 404 are fixedly connected to the connecting seat 403 and the support rod 402 by welding, respectively.

[0029] In this embodiment, the installation angle of the photovoltaic panel can be adjusted by the coordinated action of the adjustment component 6 and the support component 4. By moving the position and height of the sliding block 401, and keeping the length of the support rod 402 at a fixed value, the frame 3 will drive the turbine 604 to move relative to the worm gear 602 in the spiral direction, thereby changing the installation angle of the frame 3.

[0030] It should be noted that the universal ball bearing assembly 404 in this solution consists of a ball fixedly connected to one end of the support rod 402 and a bushing that can rotate relative to the ball in any direction, thus preventing interference when adjusting the orientation of the frame 3.

[0031] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 The support assembly 4 also includes a limiting bolt 406, which is threaded to the lower end of the slide block 401. Multiple equally spaced screw holes 405 are provided on the inner side wall of the slide groove 2, and the limiting bolt 406 is connected to the slide groove 2 through the screw holes 405.

[0032] In this embodiment, the relative position height of the slide block 401 can be limited or released by the cooperation of the limiting bolt 406 and multiple screw holes 405, so that the frame 3 can be fixed after the installation angle is adjusted.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
