Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of large-scale grid structure transportation technology, and in particular to a special tooling for transporting large-scale photovoltaic grid structures. Background Technology
[0002] The original design of the large photovoltaic grid structure used four spherical supports for transportation, and the jacks on the purchased transport trolleys all had bowl-shaped tops. During the second detailed design phase, in order to reduce on-site welding work and speed up the on-site assembly of the grid structure, the grid legs and node spheres were directly welded in the factory. However, since the transport trolley jacks could not directly press against the lower flat flange of the grid legs, the trolley needed to be modified. The common solution was to directly modify the trolley by changing the top surface of the trolley jacks to be sloping so that they could directly fit against the flange of the legs. However, the modification cost was high and the modification time was long, which seriously affected the on-site construction. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution. This utility model is a special tooling for transporting large photovoltaic grid structures, including a tooling base.

Each locking block is fitted with a locking pin for tightening and fixing the large photovoltaic grid structure. A locking bolt for fixing the locking pin is screwed on the top of the locking block.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] 1. Excellent transition support: This fixture can provide perfect transition support between the large photovoltaic grid and the transfer trolley. Through the cooperation of the snap-fit block at the bottom of the fixture base and the jack of the transfer trolley, as well as the design of the inclined surface and top support plate at the top of the fixture base, a seamless connection between the curved surface and the inclined surface is achieved, ensuring the stability and safety of the photovoltaic grid during transportation.
[0013] 2. Cost savings in modification: Since this tooling can solve the transition problem between curved and inclined surfaces, it avoids the need for the transfer trolley to be returned to the factory for modification because it cannot directly support the photovoltaic grid structure.

[0019] 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.
[0020] Reference Figure 1-3 A special tooling for transporting large photovoltaic grid structures is used in conjunction with the transfer trolley 10 of the large photovoltaic grid structure 11. It can effectively solve the problem of the existing trolley being difficult to match with the legs of the deep grid structure, avoid the need for the transfer trolley 10 to be returned to the factory for modification, and save a lot of time. By using spherical and inclined surfaces connected by steel columns, a perfect conversion between curved and flat surfaces is achieved. It is also simple to manufacture and has a low cost.
[0021] Specifically:
[0022] The tooling includes a tooling base 1, which serves as the supporting structure for the entire tooling. Its stability and load-bearing capacity are of paramount importance. Therefore, its design must not only be able to withstand the weight of the large photovoltaic grid 11, but also ensure its stability and anti-overturning ability during transportation.
[0023] At the bottom of the tooling base 1, there is a snap-fit block 2 for cooperating with the external transfer trolley 10 jack 9. The snap-fit block 2 is designed with an arc-shaped protrusion to facilitate a perfect fit with the bowl-shaped transfer trolley 10 jack 9, realizing a quick and stable connection between the tooling and the trolley, avoiding the loosening or mismatch problems that may occur in traditional connection methods. The design of the snap-fit block 2 fully considers the compatibility with the transfer trolley 10 jack 9. Its arc-shaped protrusion not only facilitates contact and locking with the jack 9, but also effectively disperses pressure and protects the jack 9 from damage. This design not only improves the versatility of the tooling, but also reduces the need for return to the factory for modification due to incompatibility, saving time and costs.
[0024] An inclined surface is provided on the top of the tooling base 1. Preferably, the inclination angle is between 15° and 30°. This range is carefully calculated to ensure the stability and safety of the large photovoltaic grid 11 during transportation.
[0025] An inclined top support plate 3 is installed on the inclined surface, and a top support groove 4 is provided on the top support plate 3 for cooperating with the large photovoltaic grid 11, providing a stable and uniform support surface for the large photovoltaic grid 11 and ensuring stability during transportation; preferably, the top support plate 3 is circular in shape, and the top support groove 4 is a circular groove.
[0026] To ensure the stability of the large photovoltaic grid 11, several locking blocks 5 are installed on the top support plate 3 around the top support groove 4. Each locking block 5 is fitted with a locking pin 6 for tightening and fixing the large photovoltaic grid 11. A locking bolt 7 is screwed onto the top of the locking block 5 to fix the locking pin 6. This allows the large photovoltaic grid 11 to be fixed by the locking pin 6 after it is placed in the top support groove 4, and then fixed by the locking bolt 7. Preferably, there are 4 or 6 locking blocks 5, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top support groove 4. Alternatively, there are 3 to 6 locking blocks 5, which are evenly distributed along the periphery of the top support groove 4.
[0027] The locking block 5 is designed to ensure that the large photovoltaic grid 11 can be firmly locked onto the tooling during transportation, preventing displacement or detachment due to bumps or vibrations. The locking pin 6, as the main locking element of the locking block 5, is easy and quick to insert and remove. The addition of the locking bolt 7 further ensures the stability of the locking pin 6. In addition, the pull ring 8 installed on the locking pin 6 not only facilitates the operator's application of force, but also improves work efficiency and safety.
[0028] The tooling base 1, snap-fit block 2, and top support plate 3 are all steel structures, which not only ensure the strength and durability of the tooling, but also facilitate processing and maintenance; in addition, the steel structure has excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, and can adapt to various harsh transportation environments, ensuring the service life and reliability of the tooling.
[0029] The actual usage process of this tooling is as follows:
[0030] Place the tooling base 1 stably on the transfer trolley 10, ensuring that the snap-fit block 2 is aligned and in close contact with the jack 9 of the trolley, and fix the tooling base 1. The fixing can be done by external brackets, bolts or cables, as long as the tooling base 1 can be securely fixed.
[0031] Operators need to adjust the height of the trolley to maintain an appropriate distance between the tooling base 1 and the ground to facilitate the loading of the photovoltaic grid frame;
[0032] Place the large photovoltaic grid frame 11 stably in the top support groove 4 of the top support plate 3, ensuring that the center of gravity of the grid frame is aligned with the center of the tooling. Then, the operator uses the locking block 5 and the locking pin 6 to tighten and fix the photovoltaic grid frame. When inserting the locking pin 6, ensure that the pin is fully inserted into the locking block 5 and fix it with the locking bolt 7. At the same time, check whether the pull ring 8 on the locking pin 6 is secure to prevent it from falling off during transportation.
[0033] After the fixing is completed, the operator needs to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the photovoltaic grid to ensure that the grid is firmly fixed on the tooling without any loosening or displacement. At the same time, check the connection status of components such as locking block 5 and locking pin 6 to ensure that the connection is firm and reliable.
[0034] After confirming that the photovoltaic grid structure is securely fixed, the operator can start the transfer trolley 10 and transport it according to the planned transportation route. During the transportation process, the operator needs to pay close attention to the operation status of the trolley and the stability of the photovoltaic grid structure to ensure transportation safety.
[0035] Upon arrival at the destination, operators need to use appropriate tools or equipment to unload the photovoltaic grid from the fixture. During the unloading process, it is necessary to ensure that the operation is smooth and safe to avoid damage to the photovoltaic grid or the surrounding environment.
[0036] After unloading, the operator needs to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the tooling to ensure that all parts of the tooling are intact and securely connected. At the same time, the operator should clean the debris and stains on the surface of the tooling to prepare it for the next use.
[0037] In summary, this specialized tooling for transporting large photovoltaic grid structures has demonstrated unique advantages and convenience in practical use. Through careful preparation, loading, transportation, and unloading processes, it ensures the safe and efficient transport of photovoltaic grid structures.
