[0033] Example 1

[0034] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 4 This first embodiment of the present invention provides an installation mechanism. The device includes a hook unit 200, comprising a hook assembly 201, an adjustment assembly 202 disposed on the top of the hook assembly 201, and a fixing assembly 203 disposed on the adjustment assembly 202. The hook assembly 201 allows the hook to be fixed to the photovoltaic panel 101. The adjustment assembly 202 adjusts the size of the hook, allowing the fixing assembly 203 to not only fix the photovoltaic panel 101 but also the power connector.

[0035] The connecting unit 300 includes a connecting component 301 disposed on the outer diameter of the hook assembly 201, which can be fixedly connected to the power connector via the connecting component 301 on the hook assembly 201.

[0036] The hook assembly 201 includes a fixing plate 201c disposed on the photovoltaic panel 101, a rotating shaft 201b rotatably disposed on the fixing plate 201c, a main rod 201a rotatably disposed on the rotating shaft 201b, and a disassembly button 201d slidably disposed on the fixing plate 201c. The fixing plate 201c can be fixed to the photovoltaic panel 101, the rotating shaft 201b can be used for angle adjustment, and the disassembly button 201d can disassemble the fixing plate 201c.

[0037] Furthermore, the other end of the disassembly button 201d is provided with a ratchet toothed plate 201e, and the other end of the ratchet toothed plate 201e is provided with a toothed strip 201f. The toothed strip 201f is slidably connected inside the fixing plate 201c. The ratchet toothed plate 201e and the toothed strip 201f mesh, so that the toothed strip 201f can only move downwards, so that the fixing plate 201c can be pre-installed and fixed on the photovoltaic panel 101, and then fixedly installed by the fixing component 203.

[0038] Furthermore, a return spring 201d-1 is provided on the outer diameter of the disassembly button 201d, and the return spring 201d-1 is connected to the fixing plate 201c. A limit groove 201a-1 is provided on the outer diameter of the main rod 201a. With the cooperation of the return spring 201d-1 inside the disassembly button 201d, the ratchet toothed plate 201e and the toothed plate strip 201f can be separated, so that the toothed plate strip 201f can move upward, thereby disassembling.

[0039] Furthermore, the photovoltaic unit 100 includes a photovoltaic panel 101 and a support frame 102 disposed at the bottom of the photovoltaic panel 101, which can support and fix the photovoltaic panel 101 as a whole.

[0040] During use, when hooking the photovoltaic panel 101, pulling the adjustment component 202 causes the adjustment plate 202c inside the fixing plate two 202a to adjust the width of the fixing plate three 202d, allowing the fixing plate three 202d to be secured onto the photovoltaic panel 101. Simultaneously, by moving the main rod 201a upwards, the toothed strip 201f at the bottom of the fixing plate two 202a moves within the fixing plate one 201c. Through the interaction of the ratchet toothed plate 201e and the toothed strip 201f inside the fixing plate one 201c, the toothed strip 201f can only move downwards, while the main rod 201a moves upwards, thus securing the photovoltaic panel 101. Pre-installation is performed to achieve initial fixation. Finally, by rotating the bottom fixing component 203 of the main rod 201a, the photovoltaic panel 101 can be fixedly installed. This allows for the installation of photovoltaic panels 101 of different widths and angles. With the cooperation of the hook component 201, the hook can be pre-installed and the installation position can be determined. After installation, the protrusion 202e inside the adjustment component 202 increases the surface friction with the photovoltaic panel 101. At the same time, with the cooperation of the fixing plate 203b, the risk of the hook slipping is prevented, which may lead to safety accidents.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 5 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the adjustment component 202 includes a second fixed plate 202a disposed on the toothed strip 201f, an adjustment plate 202c slidably disposed at one end of the second fixed plate 202a, a third fixed plate 202d disposed on one side of the adjustment plate 202c, and a protrusion 202e disposed inside the third fixed plate 202d. The width can be adjusted by the adjustment plate 202c inside the second fixed plate 202a on the toothed strip 201f, which can carry the third fixed plate 202d.

[0043] Compared to Embodiment 1, the second fixing plate 202a is further provided with a second reset spring 202b inside, and the other end of the second reset spring 202b is connected to the adjustment plate 202c. The adjustment plate 202c inside the second fixing plate 202a on the toothed strip 201f can adjust the width of the third fixing plate 202d. At the same time, the second reset spring 202b exerts a reaction force on the third fixing plate 202d to pull it, so that the third fixing plate 202d can be fixed on the photovoltaic panel 101.

[0044] The fixing component 203 includes a fixing bolt 203a disposed on a fixing plate 201c, and a fixing plate 203b rotatably disposed on the top of the fixing bolt 203a. The fixing plate 203b can be moved upward by the fixing bolt 203a on the fixing component 203, and begins to cooperate with the adjusting component 202 to fix the photovoltaic panel 101.

[0045] During use, after the photovoltaic panel 101 is pre-installed, the fixing plate 203b is moved upward by rotating the fixing bolt 203a at the bottom of the fixing plate 201c. This, together with the adjustment component 202 and the hook component 201, fixes the photovoltaic panel 101, so that the adjustment component 202 can be firmly fixed on the photovoltaic panel 101.

[0046] During disassembly, the fixing plate 203b is released from fixing the photovoltaic panel 101 by rotating the fixing bolt 203a in the opposite direction. By pulling the disassembly button 201d, the ratchet toothed plate 201e inside the fixing plate 201c moves away from the surface of the toothed plate strip 201f, allowing the toothed plate strip 201f to move upward. At the same time, the fixing plate 201c moves in the opposite direction to begin disassembly. The return spring 201d-1 on the outer diameter of the disassembly button 201d returns the disassembly button 201d to its original position after disassembly. Finally, by pulling the fixing plate 202d, the adjusting plate 202c inside the fixing plate 202a moves, enabling quick disassembly. This allows for both quick installation and quick disassembly, making installation and use convenient.

[0047] The remaining structure is the same as that in Example 1.

[0048] Example 3

[0049] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 6 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment differs from the second embodiment in that the connecting component 301 includes a fixed plate 301a slidably disposed on the outer diameter of the main rod 201a, a rotating plate 301c rotatably disposed on the fixed plate 301a, and a limiting rod 301b slidably disposed inside the fixed plate 301a. The limiting rod 301b cooperates with the limiting groove 201a-1. The connection height of the power plug can be adjusted by the fixed plate 301a on the outer diameter of the main rod 201a, and the power plug can be fixed by the rotating plate 301c on the fixed plate 301a.

[0050] Compared to Embodiment 2, the fixed plate 301a is further provided with a rotating shaft 301d inside, and the rotating shaft 301d is connected to the rotating plate 301c. Through the rotating shaft 301d inside the fixed plate 301a, the rotating plate 301c can be rotated and supported on the fixed plate 301a.

[0051] The fixed plate 301a is equipped with a return spring 301e inside, and the other end of the return spring 301e is connected to the rotating plate 301c. The return spring 301e inside the fixed plate 301a can make the rotating plate 301c return to its original position after rotation is completed.

[0052] During use, when fixing the bottom power connector, the fixing plate 301a can be moved vertically on the main rod 201a by pulling the rotating shaft 301d. The fixing plate 301a is moved to the designated position, and the limiting rod 301b is reinserted into the limiting groove 201a-1 to adjust the height of the fixing plate 301a. The power plug is then pressed against the rotating plate 301c, causing it to snap into the fixing plate 301a. Simultaneously, the rotating shaft 301d inside the fixing plate 301a supports the rotation of the rotating plate 301c. The return spring 301e returns the rotating plate 301c to its original position after rotation. This allows for quick fixing of the power plug and quick disassembly in the opposite direction. Moving the fixing plate 301a effectively adjusts the height, ensuring the stability of the power connector and preventing it from falling to the ground and causing a fire.

[0053] The remaining structure is the same as that in Example 2.

[0054] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
