Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of photovoltaic equipment, and more specifically, to an angle-adjustable photovoltaic bracket. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing environmental awareness, the world's energy structure is undergoing a significant transformation, shifting from a fossil fuel system to a sustainable new energy system based on renewable energy. Considering the global and national renewable energy resources, solar energy is the most abundant. Therefore, solar power generation should be the mainstay of large-scale power generation in the future and represents the direction of large-scale development. Photovoltaic power generation has advantages such as being pollution-free, noise-free, zero-emission, widely available, flexible in scale, and renewable, making it a potential alternative energy source for humanity. According to the principle of solar radiation, a photovoltaic array receives the maximum solar radiation when its angle of incidence with the sun is 90°. Therefore, to fully utilize solar energy, the installation tilt angle of photovoltaic arrays in different regions needs to be varied seasonally. However, due to the bulkiness of photovoltaic arrays, a large amount of manpower is required for angle adjustment, which is not conducive to saving human resources.

[0003] To orient photovoltaic arrays towards the sun, some existing devices (e.g., patent announcement number CN208782762 U, entitled "Adjustable Angle Photovoltaic Support") include a fixed base and a photovoltaic frame. The photovoltaic frame includes a support rod and mounting components for mounting photovoltaic panels. The support rod is rotatably connected above the fixed base, and a locking assembly is provided between the support rod and the fixed base. The mounting components are rotatably connected above the support rod, and a support assembly is provided between the mounting components and the support rod. In this type of adjustable angle photovoltaic support, adjusting the angle only requires rotating the support rod and adjusting the top support assembly. However, each support can only adjust the angle for one set of photovoltaic panels, resulting in low adjustment efficiency.

[0004] This application provides an angle-adjustable photovoltaic bracket to solve the problem of low adjustment efficiency when adjusting the angle of photovoltaic panels in the prior art.

Two sets of second support rods are connected to the two ends of the three sets of first support rods, and one set of second support rods is connected to the middle of the three sets of first support rods. The three sets of third support rods are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the three sets of second support rods, and the third support rods are perpendicular to the second support rods.

Both ends of the two connecting rods are connected to the rectangular frame, and the two connecting rods are arranged vertically.

[0015] The present application provides an angle-adjustable photovoltaic (PV) bracket, comprising a support structure, an installation structure, and an adjustment structure. The installation structure includes a first mounting component and a second mounting component, located on opposite sides of the support structure and rotatably mounted on the support structure.

The second adjusting rods 312 drive the first adjusting rods 311 to rotate synchronously. The two sets of third adjusting rods 313 are respectively arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two sets of second adjusting rods 312. The first ends of the two sets of third adjusting rods 313 are rotatably connected to the corresponding second adjusting rods 312, and the second ends of the two sets of third adjusting rods 313 are connected to the first mounting member 21.

[0035] like Figure 1As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the support structure 10 includes three sets of first support rods 11, three sets of second support rods 12, and three sets of third support rods 13. The three sets of first support rods 11 are arranged in parallel with a gap, and the three sets of second support rods 12 are arranged in parallel with a gap. The three sets of second support rods 12 are all arranged perpendicular to the first support rods 11. Two sets of second support rods 12 are connected to the two ends of the three sets of first support rods 11, and one set of second support rods 12 is connected to the middle position of the three sets of first support rods 11. The second support rods 12 can support the first support rods 11. The three sets of third support rods 13 are arranged one-to-one with the three sets of second support rods 12. The third support rods 13 are arranged perpendicular to the second support rods 12. The third support rods 13 can make the support of the second support rods 12 more stable. It should be noted that the first mounting component 21 and the second mounting component 22 are both rotatably mounted on the first set of first support rods 11, and the two sets of second adjustment rods are both rotatably mounted on the second set of first support rods 11. The first set of first support rods 11 is located above the second set of first support rods 11.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the support structure 10 further includes three sets of reinforcing rods 14. The three sets of reinforcing rods 14 and the three sets of second support rods 12 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The two ends of the reinforcing rods 14 are connected to the second support rods 12 and the third support rods 13 respectively. The reinforcing rods 14 make the connection between the second support rods 12 and the third support rods 13 more stable.

[0037] In the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the first mounting component 21 includes a rectangular frame and two connecting rods. The long side of the rectangular frame and the first set of first support rods 11 are rotatably connected by hinges, enabling the rectangular frame to rotate. Both ends of the two connecting rods are connected to the rectangular frame, and the two connecting rods are vertically arranged, providing support for the rectangular frame. The photovoltaic panel 100 is placed on the rectangular frame and can be installed on the rectangular frame using clamps or screws.

[0038] Figure 4 An angle adjustment position of the first mounting member 21 and the second mounting member 22 is shown. The first adjustment member 31 can adjust the angle of the first mounting member 21 independently, and the second adjustment member 32 can adjust the angle of the second mounting member 22 independently, so that the first mounting member 21 and the second mounting member 22 can be at the most suitable incident angle with the sun. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The two extreme positions of the angle adjustment position of the first mounting component 21 are shown respectively.

[0039] The technical solution of Embodiment 2 differs from that of Embodiment 1 in that the first adjusting member 31 includes a first telescopic rod 316. The first end of the first telescopic rod 316 is rotatably connected to the support structure 10. The first end of the first telescopic rod 316 is rotatably connected to the second support rod 12 located in the middle of the three sets of second support rods 12. The second end of the first telescopic rod 316 is connected to the first mounting member 21. The rotation of the first mounting member 21 is achieved directly through the extension and retraction of the first telescopic rod 316. Similarly, the second adjusting member 32 achieves the rotation of the second mounting member 22.
