Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of photovoltaic equipment, and in particular to a photovoltaic carport. Background Technology

[0002] A photovoltaic (PV) power generation system, or simply PV, is a power generation system that uses the photovoltaic effect of photovoltaic cells to directly convert solar radiation energy into electrical energy.

[0003] Solar energy is a renewable energy source and a process of photovoltaic conversion. Compared with other renewable energy sources, solar energy does not produce any polluting gases and does not use any fuel for operation. Therefore, solar energy is currently the most efficient and environmentally friendly energy source to develop, and its use in photovoltaic carports is particularly widespread.

[0004] A photovoltaic carport, as the name suggests, combines photovoltaics with the carport roof, representing one of the simplest forms of integrating photovoltaics with architecture. It not only fulfills all the functions of a traditional carport but also generates electricity, bringing revenue to the owner. Typically using a steel structure support, it is simple, elegant, stylish, and aesthetically pleasing, and as a clean and environmentally friendly new energy source, it effectively alleviates societal environmental and energy pressures.

[0005] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, most current photovoltaic carports are placed horizontally (i.e., the photovoltaic panels are parallel to the ground). This leads to excessive water accumulation during rainy days, and the water on the top of the photovoltaic carport is not easy to drain, affecting the subsequent power generation effect of the photovoltaic panels. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0006] To reduce water accumulation on the roof of the photovoltaic carport, this application provides a photovoltaic carport.

[0007] The photovoltaic carport provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A photovoltaic carport includes support rods, purlins, connecting components, and support strips. The support rods are vertically arranged, with one end connected to the ground and the other end connected to the purlins. A plurality of support rods are connected to the purlins, all of which are parallel to each other. Two purlins are arranged parallel to each other and are on the same horizontal plane. The connecting components are provided on both purlins. The support strips are mounted on the two purlins via the connecting components. Two support strips are arranged parallel to each other. Photovoltaic panels are laid on the two support strips.

[0009] The connecting assembly includes a first connector, a second connector, and a connecting rod. The connecting rod is inclined, and the first connector and the second connector are respectively located at both ends of the connecting rod. The connecting rod is connected to the purlin through the first connector and the second connector.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, each support rod can provide support, allowing the purlins to be installed stably on the ground. The connecting rod is installed on the purlin via a first connector and a second connector. Due to the inclined design of the connecting rod, the photovoltaic panel installed on the connecting rod also has a certain inclination angle, that is, the plane of the photovoltaic panel forms an angle with the ground. In rainy weather, rainwater falling on the photovoltaic panel can slide down along the inclined surface of the photovoltaic panel, thereby avoiding water accumulation.

[0011] Preferably, the purlin is provided with a plurality of the connecting components, each of the connecting components being distributed at intervals along the length direction of the purlin, and adjacent connecting components being symmetrically arranged, so that the photovoltaic panels on the purlin are distributed in a wave-like pattern.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the wave-shaped photovoltaic panels have a sense of layering, which can enhance the aesthetics of the entire photovoltaic carport.

[0013] Preferably, it further includes an L-shaped mounting plate for connecting the connecting rod and the support bar, and the mounting plate is fastened to the connecting rod and the support bar by fasteners.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting plate connects the support bar and the connecting rod together. Since the fastener is a detachable part, the connecting rod and the support bar can be detachably connected.

[0015] Preferably, the tilt angle of the connecting rod is adjustable.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, since the tilt angle of the connecting rod is adjustable, the angle of the photovoltaic panels laid on the connecting rod will also change accordingly, thus improving flexibility.

[0017] Preferably, one end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the first connecting member, and the connecting rod has locking holes spaced apart along its length. The second connecting member is rod-shaped, with one end hinged to the purlin and the other end locked into the locking hole of the connecting rod.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to adjust the tilt angle of the connecting rod, the end of the second connecting piece can be disengaged from the connecting rod first. Then, the connecting rod and the second connecting piece can be rotated according to actual needs. After adjusting to a suitable angle, the end of the second connecting piece can be engaged in the locking hole, thereby realizing the adjustment of the connecting rod tilt angle.

[0019] Preferably, it also includes a support foot, which includes a base plate and a U-shaped plate connected to each other. The opening of the U-shaped plate is used to engage with the end of the support rod away from the purlin. The cross-sectional area of ​​the base plate is larger than that of the support rod. The base plate is used to make contact with the ground.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the U-shaped plate can be clipped onto the end of the support rod away from the purlin, and then bolts can be used to fix the U-shaped plate to the support rod. The base plate is in close contact with the ground, which increases the ground contact area of ​​the support rod and improves the stability of the entire photovoltaic carport.

[0021] Preferably, a reinforcing rod is connected between the support rod and the purlin, and the support rod, the purlin, and the reinforcing rod form a triangular cavity.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the reinforcing rod can play a strengthening role, improving the connection strength and stability of the entire support rod and purlin.

[0023] Preferably, the outer surfaces of the support rod, purlin, connecting assembly, and support bar are all coated with a paint layer.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, a protective film can be formed on the outer surface of the support rod, purlin and support strip, reducing corrosion and extending service life.

[0025] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0026] (1) By setting up connecting components and support bars, the photovoltaic panels installed on the connecting rods also have a certain tilt angle due to the tilt setting of the connecting rods, that is, the plane where the photovoltaic panels are located and the ground form a plane angle. On rainy days, rainwater falling on the photovoltaic panels can slide down along the tilt of the photovoltaic panels, thereby avoiding the generation of water accumulation.

[0027] (2) By setting up multiple sets of connecting components, the photovoltaic panels on the purlins are distributed in a wave-like pattern, which can improve the aesthetics and sense of layering of the entire photovoltaic carport.

[0028] (3) The tilt angle of the connecting rod can be adjusted. When the tilt angle of the connecting rod changes, the angle of the photovoltaic panel laid on the connecting rod will also change accordingly, thereby changing the light-receiving surface of the photovoltaic panel.

[0038] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Without conflict, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples shown in this application, as well as the features of those embodiments or examples.

[0039] This application discloses a photovoltaic carport. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 3The photovoltaic carport includes a support rod 1, purlins 2, connecting components 3, and support bars 4. The support rod 1 is vertically oriented, with one end fixedly connected to the ground and the other end fixedly connected to the purlin 2. A support foot 5 is fixedly connected to the ground-connected end of the support rod 1. The support foot 5 includes a base plate 51 and a U-shaped plate 52 connected to each other. The opening of the U-shaped plate 52 is used to engage with the ground-facing end of the support rod 1. The U-shaped plate 52 can be fixed to the support rod 1 by welding or by bolts. The base plate 51 is located below the U-shaped plate 52. Both the base plate 51 and the support rod 1 have rectangular cross-sections, but the cross-sectional area of ​​the base plate 51 is larger than that of the support rod 1. The base plate 51 is used for contact with the ground and can be locked to the ground with ground nails. The base plate 51 increases the ground contact area of ​​the support rod 1, improving the stability of the entire photovoltaic carport.

[0040] Several support rods 1 are fixedly connected to the purlin 2, as shown in the figure. Each purlin 2 has three support rods 1 connected to it, and the support rods 1 are parallel to each other. There are two purlins 2 arranged in parallel, and the two purlins 2 are on the same horizontal plane. A connecting component 3 is installed on each of the two purlins 2. Support bars 4 are installed on the two purlins 2 through the connecting components 3. There are two support bars 4 arranged in parallel. The photovoltaic panels are laid on the two support bars 4 and arranged along the length of the support bars 4.

[0041] Specifically, the connecting assembly 3 includes a first connecting member 31, a second connecting member 32, and a connecting rod 33. The connecting rod 33 is inclined, and the first connecting member 31 and the second connecting member 32 are located at both ends of the connecting rod 33, respectively. The connecting rod 33 is connected to the purlin 2 through the first connecting member 31 and the second connecting member 32. The connecting rod 33 and the support bar 4 are connected by a mounting plate 6. The mounting plate 6 is L-shaped and is locked onto the connecting rod 33 and the support bar 4 by fasteners, which are fastening bolts or fastening screws.

[0042] Each support rod 1 provides support, ensuring the purlin 2 is stably installed on the ground. The connecting rod 33 is mounted on the purlin 2 via the first connector 31 and the second connector 32. Due to the inclined design of the connecting rod 33, the photovoltaic panel mounted on it also has a certain tilt angle, meaning the plane of the photovoltaic panel forms an angle with the ground. During rainy weather, rainwater falling on the photovoltaic panel can slide off along its tilt, thus preventing water accumulation.

[0043] In this embodiment, several sets of connecting components 3 are installed on the purlin 2. Each connecting component 3 is distributed at intervals along the length of the purlin 2, and adjacent connecting components 3 are symmetrically arranged, so that the photovoltaic panels on the purlin 2 are distributed in a wave-like pattern. The wave-like distribution of photovoltaic panels has a sense of layering, and this design can improve the aesthetics of the entire photovoltaic carport.

[0044] Reference Figure 4In some embodiments, the tilt angle of the connecting rod 33 is adjustable. When the tilt angle of the connecting rod 33 changes, the angle of the photovoltaic panel laid on the connecting rod 33 also changes accordingly, thereby changing the light-receiving surface of the photovoltaic panel. Specifically, one end of the connecting rod 33 is rotatably connected to the first connecting member 31, and the connecting rod 33 has locking holes 8 spaced apart along its own length direction. The second connecting member 32 is rod-shaped, with one end hinged to the purlin 2 and the other end locked in the locking hole 8 of the connecting rod 33.

[0045] When it is necessary to adjust the tilt angle of the connecting rod 33, the end of the second connecting piece 32 can be disengaged from the connecting rod 33 first. Then, the connecting rod 33 and the second connecting piece 32 can be rotated according to actual needs. After adjusting to a suitable angle, the end of the second connecting piece 32 can be engaged in the locking hole 8. The connecting rod 33, the second connecting piece 32 and the purlin 2 form a triangular structure, thereby realizing the adjustment of the tilt angle of the connecting rod 33.

[0046] Furthermore, a reinforcing rod 7 connects the support rod 1 and the purlin 2, forming a triangular cavity. The triangular structure provides stability, and the reinforcing rod 7 strengthens the connection, improving the overall strength and stability of the support rod 1 and purlin 2. The outer surfaces of the support rod 1, purlin 2, connecting assembly 3, and support strip 4 are all coated with a paint layer (not shown in the figure) by spraying or electroplating. This paint layer can be, but is not limited to, a metallic or non-metallic layer. The paint layer forms a protective film on the outer surfaces of the support rod 1, purlin 2, and support strip 4, reducing corrosion and extending their service life.

[0047] The implementation principle of a photovoltaic carport according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: Each support rod 1 provides support, allowing the purlins 2 to be stably installed on the ground. Connecting rods 33 are installed on the purlins 2 via first connecting members 31 and second connecting members 32. Due to the inclined arrangement of the connecting rods 33, the photovoltaic panels installed on the connecting rods 33 also have a certain inclination angle, i.e., the plane of the photovoltaic panel forms an angle with the ground. During rainy weather, rainwater falling on the photovoltaic panels can slide down the inclined plane, thus preventing water accumulation.

[0048] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
