[0002] The windproof structure of existing photovoltaic brackets plays a crucial role in the construction and operation of photovoltaic power plants. They can effectively resist strong winds and ensure the stability and power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic system. However, some problems have gradually been exposed in these windproof structures during long-term use.

[0003] Firstly, existing windproof structures are susceptible to erosion or fatigue damage under windy and sandy environments or harsh weather conditions. Long-term impact from sand particles leads to wear and corrosion on the structural surface, thus affecting its windproof performance and service life. This erosion is particularly severe in areas with high wind and sand intensity, such as deserts and Gobi, necessitating regular maintenance or replacement. However, because these structures are often integrated with the support frame, they are difficult to disassemble or replace separately, resulting in complex maintenance and high costs. Therefore, a windproof structure for photovoltaic supports is needed to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a windproof structure for a photovoltaic bracket, enabling quick installation and replacement of the windproof panel.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a windproof structure for a photovoltaic support, comprising a support structure, wherein the support structure includes a second support module fixedly connected to a first support module, both the first and second support modules being connected to a windproof plate via quick-connect components; mounting blocks are installed on both the first and second support modules; the quick-connect components include a fixed column, with clamps slidably connected to both sides of the fixed column, a sliding column connected to the inner side of the clamps, a first spring sleeved on the sliding column, and a locking block fixedly connected to the outer side of the clamps; a locking groove is provided on the mounting block, and the locking block engages with the locking groove.

[0006] Furthermore, the mounting block is provided with a first sliding groove in the vertical direction, and a first slider adapted to the first sliding groove is fixed on the side of the windproof plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the first support module and the second support module are connected by a docking assembly, which includes a plug rod, one end of which is connected to a rotating handle and the other end of which is fixed with a plug block; the horizontal frame side of the second support module is provided with a slot, and the plug block is detachably engaged with the slot.

[0008] Furthermore, the docking assembly also includes a baffle and a second spring; the baffle is fixed to the side of the second support module, and the insertion rod passes through the baffle and is fitted with the second spring.

[0009] Furthermore, the first support module has a second slider on its side near the second support module, and the second support module has a second groove on its side near the first support module, with the second slider slidingly engaging with the second groove.

[0010] Furthermore, a third slider is fixed to the outside of the support structure, and a slot is provided on the inner wall of the windproof plate to accommodate the third slider.

[0011] Furthermore, both the first support module and the second support module include a horizontal frame and columns fixed to each corner of the horizontal frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the top of the column is provided with an mounting plate for installing photovoltaic panels.

[0013] Furthermore, windproof panels are connected to the three sides of the first support module that are not connected to the second support module; windproof panels are also connected to the three sides of the second support module that are not connected to the first support module; adjacent windproof panels are connected end to end to form a windproof frame.

During disassembly, the clamping plate is pressed inward, separating the windproof plate from the mounting block. This allows for quick replacement of the windproof component after wear or damage without disassembling the entire support system, reducing maintenance time and manpower. It also reduces power generation downtime due to maintenance, improving the operating efficiency and economy of the photovoltaic power station. Simultaneously, the spring-driven locking mechanism provides continuous locking force to resist strong wind vibrations.

[0017] Furthermore, the docking assembly of this utility model includes a rotating handle, a baffle, and a spring. With the cooperation of the rotating handle, the baffle, and the spring, the insertion rod carrying the insertion block is inserted into the slot.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 This utility model provides a windproof structure for a photovoltaic support, including a first support module 1, and a second support module 2 installed on the side of the first support module 1. The first support module 1 and the second support module 2 have the same structure. The first support module 1 includes a U-shaped first horizontal frame 25, and a first column 26 is fixed at the corner of the first horizontal frame. The second support module 2 includes a U-shaped second horizontal frame 27, and a second column 28 is fixed at the corner of the second horizontal frame 27. The outer sides of the support structure composed of the first support module 1 and the second support module 2 are connected to the windproof plate 3 through quick-connect components 4. Mounting blocks 5 are fixedly connected to the sides of the first column 26 and the second column 28. A docking component 6 is installed inside the first support module 1, the second support module 2, and the first horizontal frame 25.

[0030] The first support module 1 has windproof plates 3 connected to its three sides that are not connected to the second support module 2; the second support module 2 also has windproof plates 3 connected to its three sides that are not connected to the first support module 1; all the windproof plates 3 are connected end to end to form a windproof frame. The windproof frame has two opposite sidewalls with different heights, and the other two opposite sidewalls have slopes facing the side with the lower sidewall.

[0031] The quick-installation assembly 4 includes a fixing post 7. After the fixing post 7 is connected to the clamping plate 8, it is fixedly connected to the side of the windproof plate 3 by the end buckle of the clamping plate 8. The clamping plate 8 is slidably connected to both sides of the fixing post 7. The fixing post 7 connects the clamping plate 8 and the windproof plate 3. Two sliding posts 9 that can slide in the horizontal direction are slidably connected to the inner side of the clamping plate 8. A first spring 10 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the sliding post 9. The two ends of the first spring 10 are in contact with the two clamping plates 8 respectively. A locking block 11 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the clamping plate 8. The pressure applied to the clamping plate 8 by the first spring 10 causes the clamping plate 8 to move outward with the locking block 11.

[0032] The mounting block 5 has a slot 12 inside, and the locking block 11 engages with the slot 12. The clamping plate 8 moves the locking block 11 outward and engages with the slot 12, completing the replacement of the windproof plate 3. The mounting block 5 has a through first sliding groove 13 in the vertical direction inside, and a first slider 14 that matches the first sliding groove 13 is fixedly connected to the side of the windproof plate 3. The position of the windproof plate 3 is defined by the cooperation between the first slider 14 and the first sliding groove 13.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The docking assembly 6 includes a rod 15, one end of which is connected to a rotating handle 16, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to a block 17. Rotating the rotating handle 16 controls the rod 15 to move with the block 17 into the first horizontal frame 25. A baffle 18 is fixedly connected to the side of the second horizontal frame 27 of the second support module 2. A second spring 19 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the rod 15, with one end abutting against the baffle 18 and the other end abutting against the block 17. The rod 15 is slidably connected inside the baffle 18. The pressure applied by the baffle 18 and the block 17 causes the rod 15 to be subjected to an inward force. A second slider 20 is fixedly connected to the side of the first horizontal frame 25 near the second horizontal frame 27. A second groove 21 is opened on the side of the second horizontal frame 27 near the first horizontal frame 25. The second slider 20 is slidably connected inside the second groove 21. Through the cooperation of the second slider 20 and the second groove 21, the first support module 1 and the second support module 2 can be precisely docked. The second slider 20 has a slot 22 inside. The insert 17 is engaged with the slot 22. The insert rod 15 is forced to move the insert 17 into the slot 22, thus completing the docking of the first support module 1 and the second support module 2.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5The inner wall of the windbreak panel 3 has a slot 23. When the first horizontal frame 25 and the second horizontal frame 27 are connected to the windbreak panel 3, the third slider 29 fixed on the outside of the first horizontal frame 25 and the second horizontal frame 27 is inserted into the slot 23. By opening the slot 23, space is provided for placing the third slider 29 when installing the windbreak panel 3. The top of the first column 26 and the second column 28 are both equipped with mounting plates 24. The photovoltaic panels are installed on the first support module 1 and the second support module 2 using the mounting plates 24.

[0035] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the windproof plate 3 needs to be maintained or replaced, the clamping plate 8 is squeezed inward to make the locking block 11 disengage from the slot 12 of the mounting block 5, so that the windproof plate 3 slides out from the inside of the mounting block 5. Then, the first slider 14 on the side of the maintained or new windproof plate 3 is aligned with the first sliding groove 13 of the mounting block 5 and slid into the mounting block 5. When the locking block 11 is aligned with the slot 12, the clamping plate 8 is forced to pull the locking block 11 into the slot 12 through the cooperation of the sliding column 9 and the first spring 10, thus completing the work of reinstalling the windproof plate 3.

[0036] When connecting the first support module 1 and the second support module 2, the second slider 20 on the side of the first horizontal frame 25 is slid into the second groove 21 of the second horizontal frame 27. Rotating the handle 16, through the cooperation of the baffle 18 and the second spring 19, forces the insertion rod 15 to engage the insertion block 17 into the slot 22, completing the connection of the first support module 1 and the second support module 2. When disassembly is required, rotating the handle 16 in the opposite direction causes the insertion block 17 to disengage from the slot 22 of the second slider 20, allowing the first support module 1 to slide out of the second support module 2 for disassembly.
