Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of solar energy technology, and more particularly to a photovoltaic support assembly. Background Technology

[0002] A photovoltaic (PV) bracket is a support structure designed to maximize the power output of the entire PV power generation system. It is determined by taking into account the geographical latitude of the construction site and the tilt angle of the sun's rays, and fixing the PV modules at a certain tilt angle, in a specific arrangement, and with appropriate spacing.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN2073211802U discloses a rotatable photovoltaic (PV) bracket, including a base, support rods, a fixing frame, and a drive mechanism. The base is a fan-shaped plate structure with a fixed base connected to the ground below it, which is a concrete pier. A rotating base is located above the center of the base. The fixing frame is a square frame tilted on the base. Hinged telescopic support rods are located on both sides of the upper frame of the fixing frame above the rotating base. The upper and lower rods of the telescopic support rods are provided with reverse threads. The length of the telescopic support rods can be adjusted by adjusting the sleeves, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the fixing frame. This allows the tilt angle to be changed by adjusting the length of the telescopic support rods, so that the sun can directly hit the solar panels as much as possible in different seasons, improving the utilization efficiency of sunlight. While the PV bracket in the aforementioned prior art is adjustable in tilt angle and rotatable, it does not mention the installation of a coupling between the drive mechanism and the PV bracket. Therefore, when the PV panels on the bracket need maintenance, it will affect the operation of other PV modules, causing energy loss and reducing work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] One of the technical problems this disclosure aims to solve is: how to address the issue of not affecting the operation of other photovoltaic components when photovoltaic elements installed on a photovoltaic support need to be inspected.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this disclosure provides a photovoltaic support assembly, comprising:

[0006] The photovoltaic support system includes at least two photovoltaic support systems, each of which includes a support body and a support structure.

[0007] The linkage structure includes a driving component and a driven component. The driving component drives the driven component to rotate, which in turn drives the supporting structure and the photovoltaic elements fixed on the supporting structure to rotate synchronously.

[0008] In some embodiments, a connecting shaft is provided on the support structure, and the connecting component includes a coupling, with both ends of the coupling connected to the connecting shaft and the rotating shaft, respectively.

[0009] In some embodiments, the support structure includes a support body and a fixing frame. A connecting shaft is provided at the bottom of the support body, and the fixing frame is fixed to the support body for fixing photovoltaic elements. The driving component drives the driven component to move so as to drive the rotating shaft, the connecting component and the connecting shaft to rotate synchronously.

[0010] In some embodiments, the support body includes a support portion and a lifting adjustment portion spaced apart from the support portion. The height of the lifting adjustment portion is adjustable, and the photovoltaic element is mounted on the top of the support portion and the lifting adjustment portion.

[0012] In some embodiments, the driving component includes a motor, the driven component includes a sprocket and a chain, each shaft is fitted with a sprocket, each sprocket meshes with the chain, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to one of the plurality of shafts.

[0013] In some embodiments, the pivot is inserted through the support body, the connector is located at the top of the support body, and the sprocket and chain are both located at the bottom of the support body.

[0014] In some embodiments, the photovoltaic support includes at least three sprockets, and the sprockets include double-row sprockets, wherein a chain is wound around one row of sprockets on the first rotating shaft and one row of sprockets on the second rotating shaft, and another chain is wound around the other row of sprockets on the first rotating shaft and one row of sprockets on the third rotating shaft.

[0015] In some embodiments, a slewing bearing is provided on the main body of the support, the axis of the slewing bearing coincides with the axis of the rotating shaft, and the support structure is connected to the top of the slewing bearing.

A rotating shaft is provided on each support body, and the supporting structure is detachably connected to the rotating shaft via a connector. In actual operation, photovoltaic elements are fixed on the photovoltaic supports. When a photovoltaic element needs maintenance, the connector is loosened or disassembled, and the photovoltaic support corresponding to that element stops rotating. This avoids shutting down the entire linkage structure, thus not affecting the normal operation of other photovoltaic elements and improving work efficiency. Furthermore, in this application, the driven component in the linkage structure links multiple photovoltaic supports together. When the driving component in the linkage structure drives the driven component to rotate, it simultaneously drives multiple photovoltaic supports to rotate synchronously. This allows multiple photovoltaic elements to adjust simultaneously at the same angle and direction to better track the sun's position and improve photovoltaic power generation efficiency.

[0031] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, they should be considered part of the specification.

[0032] To address the issue of ensuring uninterrupted operation of other photovoltaic (PV) elements during maintenance of single or multiple PV modules mounted on a photovoltaic (PV) support structure, an embodiment of this application provides a PV support assembly. The PV support assembly of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] See Figures 1 to 4 As shown, according to an embodiment of this application, a photovoltaic support assembly is provided. The photovoltaic support assembly includes a photovoltaic support 1 and a linkage structure 5.

[0034] The photovoltaic bracket 1 includes at least two, each of which includes a bracket body 11 and a support structure 12. Each bracket body 11 is provided with a rotating shaft 2. The support structure 12 is installed on the bracket body 11 and is detachably connected to the rotating shaft 2 through a connector 3. The support structure 12 is used to fix the photovoltaic element 4, and the photovoltaic element 4 is set one-to-one with the support structure 12. The linkage structure 5 includes a driving component 51 and a driven component 52. The driving component 51 drives the driven component 52 to rotate and drives the support structure 12 and the photovoltaic element 4 fixed on the support structure 12 to rotate synchronously.

[0035] In this application, the photovoltaic support assembly includes multiple photovoltaic supports 1 and a linkage structure 5. The linkage structure 5 is used to drive the multiple photovoltaic supports 1 to rotate simultaneously. Each photovoltaic support 1 includes a support body 11 and a support structure 12. A rotating shaft 2 is provided on each support body 11, and the support structure 12 is detachably connected to the rotating shaft 2 via a connector 3. In actual operation, photovoltaic elements 4 are fixed on the photovoltaic supports 1. When one of the photovoltaic elements 4 needs maintenance, the connector 3 is loosened or disassembled, and the photovoltaic support 1 corresponding to the photovoltaic element 4 stops rotating. This avoids stopping the entire linkage structure 5, thus not affecting the normal operation of other photovoltaic elements 4 and improving work efficiency. In addition, in this application, the driven component 52 in the linkage structure 5 links the multiple photovoltaic supports 1 together. When the driving component 51 in the linkage structure 5 drives the driven component 52 to rotate, it simultaneously drives the multiple photovoltaic supports 1 to rotate synchronously. This allows the multiple photovoltaic elements 4 to adjust simultaneously at the same angle and direction to better track the position of the sun and improve photovoltaic power generation efficiency.

[0036] In other words, in this application, the driven component 51 drives the driven component 52 to rotate all photovoltaic brackets 1 synchronously, and the rotating shaft 2 is set on the bracket body 11. The rotating shaft 2 and the support structure 12 are connected by the connector 3. When repairing a photovoltaic element 4, the connector 3 can be disassembled without affecting the operation of other photovoltaic elements 4, thus improving work efficiency.

[0037] Specifically, the photovoltaic support bracket 1 includes at least two, and each photovoltaic support bracket 1 is linked together through the linkage structure 5. In this embodiment, the number of photovoltaic support brackets 1 can be 2, 3, 4, etc., and the specific number is not limited in this application. Each photovoltaic support bracket 1 includes a bracket body 11 and a support structure 12. The bracket body 11 is used to support the support structure 12. This arrangement improves the stability and safety of the photovoltaic support bracket assembly and extends its service life. In this embodiment, each bracket body 11 is provided with a rotating shaft 2. The driving component 51 on the linkage structure 5 drives the rotating shaft 2 to rotate, thereby causing the support structure 12 to rotate. Specifically, the support structure 12 is installed on the bracket body 11 and is detachably connected to the rotating shaft 2 through a connector 3. The connector 3 can ensure efficient, stable and reliable power transmission; it can also be used to stop the rotation of the photovoltaic support bracket 1 that needs maintenance when it needs maintenance or the photovoltaic element 4 needs maintenance by loosening or disassembling the connector 3, without affecting the operation of other photovoltaic elements 4, thus improving the working efficiency of the photovoltaic elements 4. The photovoltaic element 4 is fixed on the support structure 12, which improves the working stability and safety of the photovoltaic element 4.

[0038] In some embodiments, a connecting shaft (not shown in the figure) is provided on the support structure 12, and the connecting member 3 includes a coupling, the two ends of which are connected to the connecting shaft and the rotating shaft 2, respectively. In this embodiment, the coupling can be a keyless coupling, a keyed coupling, etc., and in this application, a keyless coupling is preferred. A keyless coupling is a coupling that does not require the use of a key or keyway to transmit torque, and mainly relies on interference fit or tapered fit to achieve the connection and torque transmission between the two shafts. In this embodiment, using a keyless coupling makes it easier to loosen or disassemble. For example, the keyless coupling can be a shrink-fit coupling, a hydraulic shrink-fit coupling, etc., and the selection is made according to actual needs during the actual assembly process. This application does not make specific limitations. In this embodiment, using a coupling to connect the connecting shaft and the rotating shaft 2 on the support structure 12 can ensure efficient, smooth and reliable power transmission, and also compensate for displacement and angular deviations, reducing the vibration of the photovoltaic bracket 1. When one of the photovoltaic brackets 1 or photovoltaic elements 4 in the photovoltaic bracket assembly needs to be shut down for maintenance, the coupling can be disassembled. Photovoltaic bracket 1 can stop rotating, while the other photovoltaic brackets 1 continue to work. It is not necessary to shut down the entire linkage structure 5, which improves the working efficiency of the photovoltaic bracket assembly.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the support structure 12 includes a support body 121 and a fixing frame 122. The support body 121 supports the fixing frame 122. A connecting shaft is provided at the bottom of the support body 121, which is connected to a coupling to enable or disable power transmission. Specifically, the connecting shaft is positioned on a crossbeam in the middle of the support body 121, which improves the stability of the support body 121. Positioning the connecting shaft in the middle of the crossbeam further enhances the stability of the photovoltaic support assembly. Furthermore, the fixing frame 122 is fixed to the support body 121 to secure the photovoltaic element 4, improving the safety and lifespan of the photovoltaic element 4. When the driving component 51 drives the driven component 52 to rotate, it can drive the rotating shaft 2, the connecting component 3, and the connecting shaft to rotate synchronously. Connecting the rotating shaft 2 and the connecting shaft via a coupling improves transmission efficiency, increases the working stability of the photovoltaic support assembly, reduces wear and failure between components, and enhances the rapid response and smooth acceleration of the photovoltaic support assembly.

[0040] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the support structure 12's main support 121 includes a support portion 1211 and a lifting adjustment portion 1212 spaced apart from the support portion 1211. The height of the lifting adjustment portion 1212 is adjustable, and the photovoltaic element 4 is mounted on top of the support portion 1211 and the lifting adjustment portion 1212. With this configuration, during the actual operation of the photovoltaic support assembly, adjusting the height of the lifting adjustment portion 1212 changes the tilt angle of the photovoltaic support 1, thereby changing the tilt angle of the photovoltaic element 4, ensuring that the photovoltaic element 4 always faces the sun. This improves photovoltaic power generation efficiency, increases power generation, enhances economic benefits, and extends the service life of the photovoltaic element 4. In this embodiment, the tilt angle of the photovoltaic support assembly can be 30°, 40°, 50°, etc., and the specific tilt angle can be adjusted according to actual working needs; no specific limitation is made in this application. In this application, the lifting adjustment portion 1212 can use a drive motor, drive cylinder, etc., and its specific form is not limited.

[0041] Specifically, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the support unit 1211 includes support columns, and the lifting adjustment unit 1212 includes telescopic columns. The support columns and telescopic columns are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the fixed frame 122, ensuring that each column and the fixed frame 122 are evenly stressed, avoiding localized overload. This also improves the wind and earthquake resistance of the photovoltaic support assembly, enhances structural stability, and improves the ease of installation and maintenance. Furthermore, it optimizes the ventilation and heat dissipation of the photovoltaic elements 4 to improve power generation efficiency, reduces shading between adjacent supports, and ensures that each photovoltaic element 4 receives sufficient heat. In this application, the telescopic columns provide height adjustability, allowing the photovoltaic support 1 to adjust its height as needed to adapt to different installation conditions and requirements, and ensuring that the photovoltaic elements 4 receive ample sunlight. During actual installation, through scientific and reasonable design and installation, the structural advantages formed between the support columns, telescopic columns, and the fixed frame 122 can be fully utilized to ensure the efficient, stable, and safe operation of the photovoltaic support assembly.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the driving component 51 includes a motor, which drives the driven component 52 to synchronously rotate the support structure 12 and the rotating shaft 2. The driven component 52 includes a sprocket 521 and a chain 522. The chain 522 and sprocket 521 have advantages such as high load-bearing capacity, precise rotation, strong adaptability, easy maintenance, strong impact resistance, and reduced noise. In this embodiment, each rotating shaft 2 is fitted with a sprocket 521, and each sprocket 521 meshes with the chain 522. Using the chain 522 and sprocket 521 for transmission allows for a compact layout and improves the space utilization of the photovoltaic support module. Furthermore, in this application, the output shaft of the motor is connected to one of the multiple rotating shafts 2. In this embodiment, one motor drives multiple rotating shafts 2 to rotate synchronously, improving economic efficiency. Specifically, the motor can be positioned to connect with any one of the multiple rotating shafts 2. In this embodiment, it is preferable to connect the motor with the middle rotating shaft 2 to improve the transmission efficiency of the chain 522 and sprocket 521. Positioning the motor in the middle also optimizes load distribution, reduces vibration, and improves the stability of the photovoltaic support assembly. Using a single motor simplifies the installation process and reduces installation costs and time. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the drive component 51 can also be a drive cylinder, etc. Any other modifications within the scope of this application's concept are within the protection scope of this application.

[0043] In some embodiments, see again Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the rotating shaft 2 passes through the support body 11, the connecting piece 3 is located at the top of the support body 11, and the sprocket 521 and chain 522 are both located at the bottom of the support body 11. This arrangement ensures that when the motor drives the sprocket 521 and chain 522 to mesh, it drives the rotating shaft 2 and connecting piece 3 to rotate synchronously, improving transmission accuracy and facilitating the rotation of the chain 522. It also reduces collisions between the photovoltaic support 1 and the chain 522, thereby improving transmission stability.

[0044] In some embodiments, the photovoltaic bracket 1 includes at least three, and the number of photovoltaic brackets 1 can be three, four, five, six, etc., and the specific number can be determined according to actual production needs. This application does not impose a specific limitation. In this embodiment, the sprocket 521 includes a double-row sprocket. The double-row sprocket is a special sprocket design 521 with two parallel toothed rings that can simultaneously mesh with two chains 522. For example, when there are three photovoltaic brackets 1 (e.g....), Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the meshing between the double-row sprockets and the chain 522 is as follows. A chain 522 is wound around one row of sprockets on the first shaft 2 and one row of sprockets on the second shaft 2. Another chain 522 is wound around the other row of sprockets on the first shaft 2 and one row of sprockets on the third shaft 2. It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the multiple sprockets 521 are arranged on the same horizontal plane, which helps to reduce the bending and friction of the chain 522, improve transmission efficiency, and reduce power loss. In this embodiment, the sprocket 521 is preferably a double-row sprocket because it has a high load-bearing capacity and can transmit greater torque and load. When both chains 522 work simultaneously, it can ensure that the load is evenly distributed and reduce the risk of local overload. It can also improve the overall stability of the photovoltaic support assembly because the double-row sprocket can reduce the vibration of the chain 522 during transmission and protect other components in the photovoltaic support assembly. In addition, the installation process of the double-row sprocket is relatively simple, which can reduce installation time and facilitate maintenance and repair.

[0045] In some embodiments, a slewing bearing 6 is provided on the support body 11, the axis of which coincides with the axis of the rotating shaft 2, and a support structure 12 is connected to the top of the slewing bearing 6. The slewing bearing 6 has an inner ring and an outer ring that rotate relative to each other. The outer ring is connected to the support body 11, for example, by bolts. The inner ring is connected to the support structure 12, which is located on top of the slewing bearing 6. Specifically, the support structure 12 and the inner ring can be bolted together. The slewing bearing 6 provides good support for the support structure 12. The slewing bearing 6 bears the load of the support structure 12 and the photovoltaic element 4. In actual operation, the motor only needs to overcome the frictional force of the rotating slewing bearing 6, greatly reducing the load on the motor and thus ensuring the stability of the photovoltaic support assembly. Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the motor drives the chain 522 and sprocket 521 to rotate, it drives the rotating shaft 2 to rotate. When the rotating shaft 2 rotates and drives the support structure 12 to rotate synchronously, the inner ring of the slewing bearing 6 rotates relative to the outer ring. During this process, the axis of the slewing bearing 6 coincides with the axis of the rotating shaft 2, which improves the rotation accuracy and ensures that the rotation center of the photovoltaic bracket 1 is precisely aligned with the center of the bracket body 11, avoiding vibration and wear caused by eccentricity and misalignment.

[0046] In some embodiments, the rotating shaft 2 is rotatably mounted to the support body 11 via a bearing 7. The bearing 7 ensures that the rotation center of the photovoltaic support 1 is precisely aligned with the center of the support body 11, avoiding vibration and wear caused by eccentricity and misalignment; at the same time, the bearing 7 provides precise rotational positioning, ensuring that the photovoltaic support 1 remains stable during rotation and improving overall accuracy. In this embodiment, the bearing 7 can withstand large radial loads, axial loads, and overturning moments, improving the overall load-bearing capacity of the photovoltaic support assembly.

[0047] In summary, the photovoltaic support assembly provided in this application connects the support structure 12 to the support body 11 via a slewing bearing 6. The motor is connected to one of the multiple rotating shafts 2, and drives the other rotating shafts 2 to rotate synchronously through the meshing of a sprocket 521 and a chain 522. Furthermore, the rotating shafts 2 are detachable from the support structure 12 via couplings, facilitating maintenance of individual photovoltaic elements 4 without affecting the operation of other photovoltaic elements 4, reducing energy consumption, and improving work efficiency. In addition, in this embodiment, when the photovoltaic support assembly is working, as the sun's azimuth angle changes throughout the day, the motor drives all photovoltaic elements 4 to rotate slowly and synchronously clockwise, ensuring that the photovoltaic elements 4 always face the sun. After sunset, they rotate counterclockwise to reset.
