[0039] Current photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage systems typically consist of two telescopic support structures and solar photovoltaic panels. The two telescopic support structures are spaced apart, with the lower end of one structure hinged to the base plate. The solar photovoltaic panels are hinged to the upper ends of the two telescopic support structures. The two telescopic support structures allow the solar photovoltaic panels to move vertically and adjust their angle relative to the horizontal plane, enabling them to track sunlight. However, the use of two telescopic support structures complicates the overall structure of the system and increases material costs. Furthermore, these structures present numerous potential points of failure, leading to high maintenance costs. Once the installation direction of the two telescopic support structures is fixed, the solar photovoltaic panels can only rotate in one direction within the horizontal plane to adjust their angle, limiting their ability to track sunlight.

[0040] To address the high material costs of current photovoltaic storage devices, this invention provides a support device and a photovoltaic storage device. The following is a detailed description... Figures 1 to 4 The supporting device and optical storage equipment of this utility model are described in detail.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a specific embodiment of the first aspect of this utility model provides a support device.

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the support device includes a support connection assembly 110 and a rotating assembly 120; the support connection assembly 110 is used to mount the solar photovoltaic panel 200; the support connection assembly 110 has a second mounting surface and a connecting portion 111, the second mounting surface being an inclined surface. The rotating assembly 120 includes a rotating member 121 and a fixing member 122; the rotating member 121 is used to rotate relative to the fixing member 122 about its own axis; the rotating member 121 has a first mounting surface, the first mounting surface being an inclined surface; the first mounting surface and the second mounting surface are in contact and engaged, and the connecting portion 111 and the fixing member 122 are hinged through a connecting structure 130, so that the rotating member 121 drives the support connection assembly 110 to move.

[0043] In this embodiment, by providing a support connection assembly 110, an installation foundation can be provided for the solar photovoltaic panel 200. The first and second mounting surfaces are inclined and in contact. By providing a connecting part 111 hinged to the fixing member 122, when the rotating member 121 rotates around its own axis, the first mounting surface also rotates around the axis of the rotating member 121. This allows the support connection assembly 110 to move up and down with the rotating member 121, enabling the solar photovoltaic panel 200 to rotate in the horizontal plane and tilt relative to the vertical direction, thus improving the solar photovoltaic panel 200's light-tracking capability. Compared to existing solutions using two telescopic support structures, the photovoltaic energy storage device using the support device of this embodiment can reduce material costs, potential failure points, and maintenance costs while ensuring the solar photovoltaic panel 200's light-tracking capability.

[0044] In some embodiments, the axis of the rotating member 121 extends in the vertical direction. That is, the rotating member 121 can drive the support connecting assembly 110 to rotate in the horizontal plane, and because the first mounting surface and the second mounting surface are planar, and the connecting part 111 is hinged to the fixing member 122 through the connecting structure 130, the support connecting assembly 110 can also drive the solar photovoltaic panel 200 to tilt relative to the vertical direction.

[0045] Preferably, the inclined surface is an inclined plane. That is, the first assembly surface is an inclined plane, and the second assembly surface is an inclined plane.

[0046] In some embodiments, the rotary assembly 120 further includes a drive member; the drive member is connected to the rotary assembly 121 and is used to drive the rotary assembly 121 to rotate about its own axis.

[0047] For example, the driving component is a hydraulic motor or a rotary cylinder; the hydraulic motor or rotary cylinder is located at the lower end of the rotary component 121, and the rotary component 121 is connected to the hydraulic motor or rotary cylinder via a connecting shaft.

[0048] For example, the outer surface of the rotating member 121 is provided with multiple teeth; the multiple teeth are arranged circumferentially along the rotating member 121, and the teeth mesh with the driving member. Specifically, the driving member includes a motor and a gear set; the gear set meshes with the rotating member 121, and the motor is connected to the gear set through a connecting shaft. The motor drives the gear set to rotate, thereby causing the rotating member 121 to rotate around its own axis. It can be understood that the gear set includes at least one gear, and the central axis of the gear may be parallel to the central axis of the rotating member 121.

[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the fixing member 122 includes an internal support 125; the rotating member 121 has an assembly cavity 123; the internal support 125 is located within the assembly cavity 123; the rotating member 121 and the internal support 125 are rotatably engaged about the axis of the rotating member 121. The internal support 125 is located directly within the assembly cavity 123 of the rotating member 121. This design minimizes the occupancy of external space, making the entire device more compact. This compact design not only saves space but also improves material utilization efficiency and reduces manufacturing costs. The rotatable engagement of the rotating member 121 and the internal support 125 about the axis of the rotating member 121 allows for flexible rotational adjustments as needed to adapt to different operational requirements. The compact structural design and flexible rotational engagement contribute to optimizing the overall performance of the device.

[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, the connecting portion 111 is further located in the assembly cavity 123 and is hinged to the internal support 125 via the connecting structure 130. Preferably, the connecting portion 111 is hinged to the internal support 125 via a ball joint. The ball joint connection allows the connecting portion 111 to rotate relative to the internal support 125 in multiple directions, ensuring the light-tracking capability of the solar photovoltaic panel 200. This design ensures that the device remains stable when subjected to forces or torques in different directions.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the fixing member 122 further includes a base 126; an internal support 125 is mounted on the base 126, and the rotating member 121 and the base 126 are rotatably engaged about the axis of the rotating member 121. The base 126 provides a mounting foundation for the rotating member 121 and the internal support 125. As the fixed foundation of the entire device, the base 126 provides stable support and enhances the stability of the overall structure.

[0052] Furthermore, the connecting part 111 is located on the outside of the rotating member 121 and is hinged to the base 126 via the connecting structure 130. Specifically, the connecting part 111 is hinged to the base 126 via a ball joint. This hinge allows the rotating member 121 to rotate relative to the base 126 in multiple directions. This design enables the entire device to flexibly adapt to different working angles and postures, improving its adaptability and flexibility. The ball joint connection provides a robust support structure capable of withstanding various forces and torques generated during the rotation of the rotating member 121.

[0053] Preferably, there are multiple connecting portions 111, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the rotating member 121. This can further improve the stability of the device.

[0054] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting structure 130 is a ball joint, which includes a ball head 131 and a groove 132; one of the ball head 131 and the groove 132 is formed in the connecting portion 111, and the other is formed in the fixing member 122. The mutual cooperation of the ball head 131 and the groove 132 makes the entire ball joint structure compact and occupies little space. This compact design helps to reduce the overall size and weight of the device, and improve the portability and flexibility of the device.

[0055] Preferably, the lower end of the connecting part 111 is formed with a ball head 131, and the internal support 125 has a groove 132; the ball head 131 is installed in the groove 132, and the ball head 131 can move in the groove 132.

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, the support device further includes a limiting plate 140; the limiting plate 140 has a limiting hole 141; the limiting plate 140 is installed on the fixing member 122, the limiting hole 141 corresponds to the groove 132, and the diameter D of the limiting hole 141 is smaller than the diameter R of the groove 132. The limiting plate 140 is used to limit the ball head 131 within the groove 132. The limiting plate 140 tightly limits the ball head 131 within the groove 132 through the limiting hole 141, effectively preventing the ball head 131 from accidentally coming out during rotation or under force. This limiting effect greatly enhances the overall stability of the support device and improves the safety of the equipment. The tight fit between the limiting hole 141 and the groove 132 reduces the swaying space of the ball head 131 within the groove 132. This helps to reduce noise and vibration caused by swaying and improves the smoothness of equipment operation.

[0057] In some embodiments, the support connection assembly 110 includes a support member 113 and a connector 114; one end of the support member 113 is used to mount the solar photovoltaic panel 200; the connector 114 has a second mounting surface and a connecting portion 111; the connecting portion 111 is formed on the second mounting surface, and the side of the connector 114 away from the second mounting surface is connected to the other end of the support member 113. The combined design of the support member 113 and the connector 114 provides a robust support structure capable of withstanding the weight of the solar photovoltaic panel 200 and loads generated by the external environment. The ball joint connection design also enhances the stability of the assembly during rotation, preventing safety hazards caused by swaying. The connecting portion 111 is formed on the second mounting surface and is firmly connected to the support member 113, ensuring the stability of the assembly under high loads. This design enables the support connection assembly 110 to withstand greater static and dynamic loads, improving the overall load-bearing capacity of the structure.

[0058] Furthermore, the support component 113 is a hollow pipe pile structure. This design reduces the overall weight of the device and lowers material costs.

[0059] Furthermore, the connector 114 is a connecting block. The lower side of the connecting block is the second assembly surface.

[0060] Furthermore, the support 113 is a telescopic structure, which allows for adjustment of the height of the solar photovoltaic panel 200.

[0061] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a photovoltaic energy storage device. The photovoltaic energy storage device includes a solar photovoltaic panel 200 and a supporting device; the solar photovoltaic panel 200 is installed on the supporting device.

[0062] In this embodiment, since it includes the support device of any of the above embodiments, it has at least the advantages described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0063] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
