Detailed Implementation
[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the bidirectional adjustable angle support for photovoltaic installation of this utility model includes a support column 1 for support, a first adjustment seat 2 for adjustment in a first direction, a second adjustment seat 3 for adjustment in a second direction, and a support purlin 4 for supporting the photovoltaic panel. The first adjustment seat 2 is mounted on the support column 1 via a first rotating shaft 51. The first adjustment seat 2 can rotate around the axis of the first rotating shaft 51, thereby rotating with the first direction as the base point, achieving the purpose of angle adjustment. A locking member 6 is provided on the first rotating shaft 51, which is used to lock the first adjustment seat 2, fixing the first adjustment to the support column 1 to maintain the corresponding angle. The second adjustment seat 3 is mounted on the first adjustment seat 2 via a second rotating shaft 52. The second adjustment seat 3 can rotate around the axis of the second rotating shaft 52, thereby rotating with the second direction as the base point, achieving the purpose of angle adjustment. A locking element 6 is provided on the second rotating shaft 52. The locking element 6 is used to lock the second adjusting seat 3, fixing the second adjusting seat 3 onto the first adjusting seat 2 to maintain the corresponding angle. Typically, the first and second directions are perpendicular, but they can also be set to intersect, ensuring that the first and second directions intersect. This allows the first adjusting seat 2 and the second adjusting seat 3 to be adjusted in different directions. The support purlin 4 is installed on the second adjusting seat 3. By rotating the first adjusting seat 2 and the second adjusting seat 3, the tilt direction of the support purlin 4 can be adjusted, thus adapting to different installation requirements. This bidirectional adjustment allows it to adapt to complex installation environments. Both the support column 1 and the support purlin 4 are made of rectangular steel, using existing profiles without additional processing, reducing processing steps.
[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the first adjusting seat 2 includes a first lower wing plate 21, a first upper wing plate 22, a first reinforcing plate 23, and a first base plate 24. The first lower wing plate 21 is used to connect with the support column 1. There are two first lower wing plates 21, which are respectively provided on both sides of the first base plate 24. Each first lower wing plate 21 is provided with a shaft hole 50, and the first rotating shaft 51 passes through the shaft hole 50. Each first lower wing plate 21 is perpendicular to the first base plate 24, so that the top of the support column 1 is at a certain distance from the first base plate 24, which facilitates the installation of the first adjusting seat 2 on the support column 1, and at the same time ensures that the first adjusting seat 2 will not interfere with the support column 1 during rotation. The first upper wing plate 22 is mounted on the first base plate 24. There are two first upper wing plates 22, located at opposite ends of the first base plate 24. Each first upper wing plate 22 is perpendicular to the first base plate 24 and has a shaft hole 50. The second rotating shaft 52 is located within the shaft hole 50 of the first upper wing plate 22. The first upper wing plate 22 is perpendicular to the first lower wing plate 21, such that the first rotating shaft 51 and the second rotating shaft 52 are distributed in different directions, ensuring adjustment in both directions. The first base plate 24 connects the first lower wing plate 21 and the first upper wing plate 22 to form a single unit. The first lower wing plate 21, the first base plate 24, and the first upper wing plate 22 are integral and do not require assembly. The first reinforcing plate 23 is fixed to the first base plate 24 and the first upper wing plate 22 to increase the strength of the first upper wing plate 22 and the first base plate 24. The first reinforcing plate 23 is fixed to the first base plate 24 by welding. The first reinforcing plate 23 and the first upper wing plate 22 are integrated to reduce welding work.
[0030] like Figure 3As shown, the second adjusting seat 3 includes two opposing seat bodies 30, each seat body 30 being connected to a first upper wing plate 22. Each seat body 30 includes a second upper wing plate 31, a second lower wing plate 32, a second reinforcing plate 33, and a second seat plate 34. The second lower wing plate 32 is used to connect with the first upper wing plate 22 of the first adjusting seat 2. The second lower wing plate 32 is located at one end of the second seat plate 34. The second lower wing plate 32 is provided with a shaft hole 50, and the second rotating shaft 52 passes through the shaft hole 50. The second lower wing plate 32 is perpendicular to the second seat plate 34, so that the supporting purlin 4 and the first adjusting seat 2 have a certain distance between them, so that the second adjusting seat 3 will not interfere with the supporting column 1 during rotation. The second upper wing plate 31 is mounted on the second base plate 34. There are two second upper wing plates 31, located on opposite sides of the second base plate 34, each perpendicular to the base plate 34. The second upper wing plates 31 are connected and fixed to the support purlin 4 by bolts. Each second upper wing plate 31 has a mounting hole, and the support purlin 4 also has a corresponding mounting hole. The bolts are placed in the mounting holes, and when tightened, the two second upper wing plates 31 fix the support purlin 4. The second base plate 34 connects the second lower wing plate 32 and the second upper wing plate 31 to form a single unit. The second lower wing plate 32, the second base plate 34, and the second upper wing plate 31 are integrated and do not require assembly. The second reinforcing plate 33 is fixed to the second base plate 34 and the second upper wing plate 31, increasing the strength of the second lower wing plate 32 and the second base plate 34. The second reinforcing plate 33 is fixed to the second base plate 34 by welding. The second reinforcing plate 33 and the second lower wing plate 32 are integrated, reducing welding work.
[0031] The first rotating shaft 51 and the second rotating shaft 52 are screws, which are inserted into the shaft hole 50, while the nut is used as a locking element 6. Using conventional components can reduce costs. It should be noted that the screw may have a head at one end and be fastened with a nut at the other end, or both ends of the screw may be fastened with nuts. In this embodiment, the screw is a screw with a head.
[0032] Before installing the photovoltaic panels, first prepare the support column 1, the first adjusting seat 2, the second adjusting seat 3, and the support purlin 4. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the details are as follows:

The two first wing plates 72 are located on both sides of the first main board 71, and a second wing plate 73 is provided on both sides of one end of each first main board 71; The second motherboard includes a second main board 81, two third wing plates 82 and two fourth wing plates 83. The two third wing plates 82 and the two fourth wing plates 83 are located on both sides of the second main board 81, and the third wing plates 82 and the fourth wing plates 83 are respectively located at both ends of the second main board 81.
[0034] Step S2: Punch holes in the first mother plate 7 and the second mother plate 8 to form shaft holes 50;
[0035] Step S3: The first mother plate 7 is made into the first adjusting seat 2, and the second mother plate 8 is made into the second adjusting seat 3. Similarly, there is no order in which the first adjusting seat 2 and the second adjusting seat 3 are made.
[0036] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the steps for fabricating the first adjusting seat 2 using the first mother plate 7 are as follows:
[0037] Step S311: Form the first lower wing plate 21 by bending the first wing plate 72 downward to form the first lower wing plate 21;
[0038] Step S312: Form the first upper wing plate 22 and the first base plate 24 by bending both ends of the first main plate 71 upward to form the first upper wing plate 22 and the first base plate 24.
[0039] Step S313: Form the first reinforcing plate 23 by bending the second wing plate 73 toward the center of the first base plate 24 to form the first reinforcing plate 23 connected to the first upper wing plate 22;
[0040] Step S314: Form the first adjustment seat 2 by welding the first reinforcing plate 23 onto the first seat plate 24 to form the first adjustment seat 2.
[0041] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the steps for fabricating the second adjusting seat 3 using the second mother plate 8 are as follows:
[0042] Step S321: Form the second base plate 34 and the second lower wing plate 32 by bending one end of the second main plate 81 downward to form the second lower wing plate 32 and the second base plate 34.
[0043] Step S322: Form the second upper wing plate 31 by bending the third wing plate 82 toward the center of the second main plate 81 to form the second upper wing plate 31;
[0044] Step S323: Form the second reinforcing plate 33 by bending the fourth wing plate 83 toward the center of the second main plate 81 to form the second reinforcing plate 33;
[0045] Step S324: Form the second adjustment seat 3 by welding the second reinforcing plate 33 onto the second seat plate 34 to form the second adjustment seat 3.
[0046] Step S4: Anti-corrosion treatment, galvanizing the first adjusting seat 2, the second adjusting seat 3, the supporting column 1 and the supporting purlin 4 to form a zinc coating on the surface to achieve the purpose of anti-corrosion.
[0047] Step S5: Assemble the bidirectional adjustable angle support; install the first adjusting seat 2 on the support column 1 with bolts and nuts; install the second adjusting seat 3 on the first adjusting seat 2 with bolts and nuts, the installation of the first adjusting seat 2 and the second adjusting seat 3 is not in any particular order; finally, install the support purlin 4 on the second adjusting seat 3 with bolts and nuts.
[0048] Adjust the first adjusting seat 2 and the second adjusting seat 3 according to the installation angle of the photovoltaic panel. After the angle position of the first adjusting seat 2 or the second adjusting seat 3 is adjusted to the correct position, tighten the locking piece 6. During adjustment, rotate the first adjusting seat 2 and the second adjusting seat 3 so that the first adjusting seat 2 and the second adjusting seat 3 can be adjusted in two different directions. The addition of two adjustment axes compared to existing systems allows for greater adaptability to different photovoltaic panel deflections, making it suitable for complex installation environments.
