Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic module installation technology, specifically to a structure suitable for installing photovoltaic modules on water surfaces. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic modules, also known as solar panels, are the core components of solar power generation systems, responsible for converting solar energy into electrical energy. They are typically composed of multiple solar cells. Floating photovoltaic module installation structures usually refer to systems specifically designed for installing photovoltaic panels on the surface of water. These structures can utilize the vast space of the water surface while reducing the occupation of land resources, and can also utilize the cooling effect of the water to improve the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panels.

[0003] Existing surface photovoltaic modules are installed in relatively fixed locations. When the water level rises at the installation site, it is inconvenient to adapt and adjust the photovoltaic modules accordingly, which can lead to damage to the photovoltaic modules.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a photovoltaic module installation structure suitable for water surface photovoltaic modules that can adaptively adjust the placement position of the photovoltaic modules to avoid damage to the photovoltaic modules due to rising water levels, thereby extending the service life of the photovoltaic modules. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a structure suitable for installing photovoltaic modules on water surfaces, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a structure suitable for installing photovoltaic modules on a water surface, including a base, a pole attached to the top surface of the base, a photovoltaic module disposed on the outside of the pole, and a processing component disposed above the base, the processing component including an adjustment component disposed above the base, and an installation component disposed below the adjustment component.

[0007] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes a support plate slidably disposed on the outer wall of the upright, a buoyancy platform fixedly installed at the end of the support plate, a magnetic ring fixedly installed at the bottom of the support plate, a groove formed on the outer wall of the upright, a spring disposed inside the groove, a limit block fixedly installed at the end of the spring, a sliding plate fixedly installed on the outer wall of the limit block, and a magnetic block fixedly installed on the outer wall of the sliding plate.

[0008] Preferably, the mounting assembly includes a first limiting rod fixedly mounted on the top surface of the base, an inclined frame slidably disposed on the outer wall of the first limiting rod, a ring fixedly mounted on the end of the inclined frame, a sliding column slidably disposed inside the inclined frame, a limiting plate fixedly mounted on the end of the sliding column, and a second limiting rod slidably disposed inside the limiting plate.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the buoyancy platform is a buoyancy ball, and the buoyancy platform is fixedly installed on the bottom of the photovoltaic module. With the support of the buoyancy platform, the photovoltaic module can always float on the water surface and avoid being submerged.

[0010] Preferably, the magnetic ring and the magnetic block are magnetically repelled, and the sliding plate and the magnetic block are arranged at an angle so that when the water level changes, the support plate slides on the outer wall of the upright and squeezes the magnetic block and the sliding plate.

[0011] Preferably, the inclined frame is inclined, and the outer wall of the sliding column is slidably disposed with the inner wall of the inclined frame. Under the restriction of the inclined frame, when the inner wall of the inclined frame comes into contact and is pressed with the outer wall of the sliding column, the sliding column can drive the limiting plate to slide on the outer wall of the second limiting rod.

[0012] Preferably, the limiting plate has a groove inside, and the limiting plate is slidably disposed with the outer wall of the second limiting rod. Under the restriction of the second limiting rod, the sliding column can drive the limiting plate to slide stably.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This structure, applicable to the installation of photovoltaic modules on water surfaces, consists of an adjusting component. When the water level rises at the location where the photovoltaic modules are placed, the buoyancy pushes the buoyancy platform upwards, causing the support plate to slide against the outer wall of the upright. This causes the inner side of the support plate to contact and press against the inclined surface of the outer wall of the sliding plate, which in turn causes the sliding plate to slide the limiting block into the groove and compress the spring. This allows the buoyancy platform to slide upwards along with the photovoltaic modules fixed on its top surface, preventing the photovoltaic modules from being submerged by the rising water. When the water level drops, the gravity of the buoyancy platform causes the support plate to slide downwards, ensuring that the buoyancy platform remains in contact with the water surface. Due to the magnetic repulsion between the magnetic ring and the magnetic block, the magnetic support prevents the buoyancy platform from submerging the photovoltaic modules. When the magnetic ring is between two magnetic blocks, it is restricted by the magnetic force of the magnetic block below it, thus assisting in supporting the buoyancy of the buoyancy platform. This structure allows the photovoltaic modules to be adaptively adjusted according to the water level via the buoyancy platform, preventing them from being submerged and making the use of the photovoltaic modules more flexible.

[0015] 2. This structure is applicable to the installation of photovoltaic modules on the water surface. It consists of an installation component. When maintenance of the uprights and photovoltaic modules is required, the structure needs to be disassembled. At this time, the ring is pulled, causing it to slide upward. The ring drives the inclined frame to move upward as well. The inclined frame slides on the outer wall of the first limiting rod. Due to the inclined frame's tilted setting, under its constraint, the inside of the inclined frame contacts and squeezes the outer wall of the sliding column, causing the sliding column to drive the limiting plate to slide on the outer wall of the second limiting rod. The six limiting plates open, so that the limiting plates are no longer locked to the uprights. At this time, the uprights are removed from the base. After the uprights and photovoltaic modules are inspected, the position of the pre-embedded base on the bottom is observed through an underwater camera. The uprights are aligned and locked to the base. At this time, the ring is released. Under the action of the ring and the inclined frame's own weight, they slide downward. The inclined frame squeezes the outer wall of the sliding column, causing the sliding column to drive the limiting plates to slide together. The bottom of the limiting plate slides into contact with the top surface of the base, locking the uprights to the base. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the specific embodiments of this utility model are now described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example

[0024] A preferred embodiment of the present invention, applicable to the installation structure of a water-surface photovoltaic module, is provided, for example... Figures 1 to 6As shown: A structure suitable for mounting photovoltaic modules on a water surface, including a base 1;

[0025] The top surface of the base 1 is snapped with the upright 2;

[0026] Photovoltaic modules 3 are installed on the outside of pole 2;

[0027] The processing component 4 is disposed above the base 1. The processing component 4 includes an adjustment component 41 disposed above the base 1. The adjustment component 41 includes a support plate 411 slidably disposed on the outer wall of the upright 2. A buoyancy platform 412 is fixedly installed at the end of the support plate 411. A magnetic ring 413 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support plate 411. A groove 414 is opened on the outer wall of the upright 2. A spring 416 is disposed inside the groove 414. A limit block 415 is fixedly installed at the end of the spring 416. A sliding plate 417 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the limit block 415. A magnetic block 418 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the sliding plate 417.

[0028] In this embodiment, when the water level rises at the location where the photovoltaic module 3 is placed, the buoyancy platform 412 is pushed upwards, causing the support plate 411 to slide against the outer wall of the upright 2. This causes the inner side of the support plate 411 to contact and press against the inclined surface of the outer wall of the sliding plate 417, causing the sliding plate 417 to slide the limiting block 415 into the sliding groove 414 and compress the spring 416. This causes the photovoltaic module 3, which is fixedly installed on the top surface of the buoyancy platform 412, to slide upwards, preventing the photovoltaic module 3 from being submerged by the rising water. When the water level drops, the buoyancy platform 412, under the influence of gravity, drives... The support plate 411 slides downwards, keeping the buoyancy platform 412 in constant contact with the water surface. Since the magnetic ring 413 and the magnetic block 418 repel each other, the magnetic support prevents the buoyancy platform 412 from submerging the photovoltaic module 3 in the water. When the magnetic ring 413 is between the two magnetic blocks 418, the magnetic ring 413 is restricted by the magnetic force of the magnetic block 418 below it, thus assisting in the buoyancy of the buoyancy platform 412. This structure allows the photovoltaic module 3 to be adaptively adjusted according to the liquid level through the buoyancy platform 412, preventing the photovoltaic module 3 from being submerged in the water and making the photovoltaic module 3 more flexible in use.

[0029] Furthermore, the bottom of the buoyancy platform 412 is a buoyancy ball. The buoyancy platform 412 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the photovoltaic module 3. With the support of the buoyancy platform 412, the photovoltaic module 3 can always float on the water surface and avoid being submerged.

[0030] Furthermore, the magnetic ring 413 and the magnetic block 418 are magnetically repelled, and the sliding plate 417 and the magnetic block 418 are set at an angle so that when the water level changes, the support plate 411 slides on the outer wall of the upright 2 and squeezes the magnetic block 418 and the sliding plate 417. Example

[0031] Based on Example 1, the present invention provides a preferred embodiment of a photovoltaic module installation structure suitable for water surfaces, for example... Figures 1 to 6 As shown: The mounting assembly 42 includes a first limiting rod 421 fixedly installed on the top surface of the base 1. An inclined frame 422 is slidably arranged on the outer wall of the first limiting rod 421. A ring 426 is fixedly installed at the end of the inclined frame 422. A sliding column 423 is slidably arranged inside the inclined frame 422. A limiting plate 424 is fixedly installed at the end of the sliding column 423. A second limiting rod 425 is slidably arranged inside the limiting plate 424.

[0032] In this embodiment, when maintenance is required on the support pole 2 and photovoltaic module 3, they need to be disassembled. At this time, the ring 426 is pulled, causing it to slide upward. The ring 426 drives the inclined frame 422 to move upward as well. The inclined frame 422 slides on the outer wall of the first limiting rod 421. Since the inclined frame 422 is inclined, under its restriction, the inside of the inclined frame 422 contacts and presses against the outer wall of the sliding column 423, causing the sliding column 423 to drive the limiting plate 424 to slide on the outer wall of the second limiting rod 425. The six limiting plates 424 open, causing the limiting plates 42... 4. Stop engaging the pole 2. Remove the pole 2 from the base 1. After the pole 2 and photovoltaic module 3 have been inspected, observe the position of the pre-embedded base 1 at the bottom of the water through the underwater camera. Align the pole 2 with the base 1 and engage it. At this time, release the ring 426. Under the weight of the ring 426 and the inclined frame 422, they slide downwards. The inclined frame 422 squeezes the outer wall of the sliding column 423, causing the sliding column 423 to drive the limiting plate 424 to slide together. The bottom of the limiting plate 424 slides into contact with the top surface of the base 1, engaging the pole 2 with the base 1.

[0033] Furthermore, the inclined frame 422 is set at an angle, and the outer wall of the sliding column 423 slides against the inner wall of the inclined frame 422. Under the restriction of the inclined frame 422, when the inner wall of the inclined frame 422 contacts and presses against the outer wall of the sliding column 423, the sliding column 423 can drive the limiting plate 424 to slide against the outer wall of the second limiting rod 425.

[0034] In addition, a groove is provided inside the limiting plate 424, and the limiting plate 424 is slidably disposed with the outer wall of the second limiting rod 425. Under the restriction of the second limiting rod 425, the sliding column 423 can drive the limiting plate 424 to slide stably.

[0035] The above are merely illustrative embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any equivalent changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the concept and principles of this utility model should fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Furthermore, it should be noted that the components of this utility model are not limited to the overall application described above. Each technical feature described in the specification can be used individually or in combination as needed. Therefore, this utility model naturally covers other combinations and specific applications related to the points of this utility model.
