Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic support technology, and in particular to a flexible photovoltaic support with manually adjustable angle. Background Technology
[0002] In existing photovoltaic (PV) systems, PV support structures serve as crucial supports for PV modules, and their stability and adjustability significantly impact the system's power generation efficiency and operation and maintenance costs. Currently, most commercially available flexible PV support systems employ a fixed design, failing to adapt flexibly to complex terrain, thus limiting the power generation efficiency of the PV modules.
[0003] For example, the photovoltaic flexible support with publication number CN219247764U specifically relates to the field of photovoltaic support technology. It includes a base, with an mounting plate on top of the base. A photovoltaic panel is mounted on the top of the mounting plate. Two sets of lifting components are installed between the bottom of the mounting plate and the top of the base to drive the mounting plate to rise and fall. Each set of lifting components includes a first electric push rod and a second electric push rod distributed vertically. A connecting block is fixedly installed at the bottom of both the first and second electric push rods. This invention uses a first motor and a second motor to drive a rotating rod and a round rod to rotate, causing the first and second electric push rods and the mounting plate to gradually rotate into a horizontal position, moving the mounting plate to the top of the base. Then, the operator loosens the screws on the baffle, allowing the photovoltaic panel to be aligned with the sliding groove and inserted. This facilitates the installation and removal of the photovoltaic panel without the need for hoisting equipment to lift the photovoltaic panel to a high position for installation. The structure is simple and the operation is more labor-saving.
[0004] The above technical solution has some problems in practical application. The photovoltaic flexible support is not convenient to adjust and lacks an effective self-locking mechanism, requiring staff to lock it manually.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a photovoltaic flexible support with manually adjustable angle to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Two support arms are set between the column and the crossbeam, and a positioning seat is set between the two support arms. The column, crossbeam, and support arms form a triangular structure, which not only supports the photovoltaic panel but also facilitates the adjustment of its angle. An adjusting gear is set inside the positioning seat, and a tooth groove is set on one side of the support arm.

[0023] 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.
[0024] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-6The photovoltaic flexible support with manually adjustable angle shown includes a column 1 and a crossbeam 2. The top of the column 1 and the middle of the crossbeam 2 are movably connected by a pin. A connecting seat 3 is fixedly provided at one end of both the column 1 and the crossbeam 2. Support arms 4 are movably provided on the outer side of the two connecting seats 3 by pins. The two support arms 4 are arranged in parallel and a positioning seat 5 is provided between the two support arms 4. An adjusting gear 6 is provided inside the positioning seat 5. A tooth groove 7 corresponding to the adjusting gear 6 is provided on one side of the support arm 4. The adjusting gear 6 and the tooth groove 7 cooperate to adjust the position of the support arm 4.
[0025] Specifically, a transmission rod 8 is fixedly installed in the middle of the adjusting gear 6, and the transmission rod 8 passes through the middle of the positioning seat 5. A positioning sleeve 9 is fixedly installed in the middle of the outer side wall of the positioning seat 5. A groove 10 is opened in the middle of the bottom end of the positioning sleeve 9. A positioning spring 11 is installed inside the groove 10, and the bottom end of the positioning spring 11 is in contact with the top end of the adjusting gear 6. Multiple limiting grooves 12 are opened in the inner side wall of the positioning sleeve 9. A limiting block 13 corresponding to the limiting groove 12 is fixedly installed in the middle of the transmission rod 8. The limiting block 13 cooperates with the limiting groove 12 to fix the position of the transmission rod 8.
[0026] More specifically, the top of the positioning sleeve 9 is provided with multiple positioning grooves 14, and the multiple positioning grooves 14 are arranged in a circumferential manner. The top of the transmission rod 8 is sleeved with a transmission seat 15, and the lower surface of the transmission seat 15 is provided with balls 16 corresponding to the positioning grooves 14. When the balls 16 enter and exit the positioning grooves 14, the position between the transmission seat 15 and the positioning sleeve 9 can be adjusted.
[0027] Furthermore, a clamping nut 17 is threaded onto the top of the transmission rod 8, and the clamping nut 17 fits against the top of the transmission seat 15. The clamping nut 17 is used to realize the installation between the transmission seat 15 and the transmission rod 8.
[0028] In addition, a handle 18 is fixedly provided on the outside of the transmission seat 15, which makes it convenient for the user to rotate the transmission seat 15.
[0029] Working principle of this utility model:
[0030] When in use, the photovoltaic panel can be installed on the top of the crossbeam 2 using fasteners such as bolts. The column 1 can be fixed in the photovoltaic panel installation area to support the photovoltaic panel. When adjusting the angle of the photovoltaic panel, the transmission seat 15 is rotated by turning the handle 18. At this time, the ball bearing 16 at the bottom of the transmission seat 15 slides out of the positioning groove 14 and the ball bearing 16 presses the top of the positioning sleeve 9, causing the transmission seat 15 to move away from the positioning sleeve 9. The transmission seat 15 drives the transmission rod 8 to move through the clamping nut 17, causing the limiting block 13 in the middle of the transmission rod 8 to slide out of the limiting groove 12. At this time, the limitation on the transmission rod 8 is released. Continue to rotate the transmission seat 15. The transmission seat 15 drives the clamping nut 17 and the transmission rod 8 to rotate through friction. The transmission rod 8 drives the adjusting gear 6 to rotate. The adjusting gear 6 cooperates with the tooth groove 7 to adjust the position of the two support arms 4, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the crossbeam 2 and the photovoltaic panel.
[0031] After adjustment, the ball bearing 16 under the transmission seat 15 enters the corresponding positioning groove 14. At this time, the positioning spring 11 acts on the adjusting gear 6, causing the adjusting gear 6 to drive the transmission rod 8 to move downward. At this time, the limiting block 13 in the middle of the transmission rod 8 is inserted into the corresponding limiting groove 12, which can lock the position of the transmission rod 8 and the adjusting gear 6, thereby achieving the effect of locking the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel and the crossbeam 2.
[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
