Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic facilities, specifically a quick-release photovoltaic loading mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] New energy photovoltaic power generation relies on the construction of a large number of photovoltaic technology installations. This involves laying out sufficient photovoltaic panels to collect and convert energy. The structure of photovoltaic support frames varies depending on the installation environment and requirements; the most common is a fixed photovoltaic support structure that is fixed to the base surface. Common materials include aluminum alloy, carbon steel, and stainless steel. It consists of columns, diagonal supports, guide rails (beams), module clamps, guide rail connectors, bolt washers, nuts, and sliders. The columns are made of C-shaped steel, H-shaped steel, or square steel tubing.

[0003] In actual construction, solar panels usually need to be fixed one by one. This is because each solar panel needs to be individually installed on the bracket using bolts, clamps, or other fixing devices. Disassembly also requires the use of tools to remove the bolts or other fixing devices that secure the solar panels one by one before the solar panels can be removed, which is very time-consuming, labor-intensive, and results in a long construction period and high labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a quick-release photovoltaic loading mechanism that can quickly disassemble and assemble photovoltaic modules, simplify the fixing process, and improve construction efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution:

[0006] A quick-release photovoltaic loading mechanism includes a support mechanism and a photovoltaic module. The support mechanism includes multiple sets of parallel inclined beams. Each set of inclined beams includes two parallel inclined mounting beams. The top side of each mounting beam has a through mounting groove. The mounting groove has an opening near the top. The photovoltaic module includes a rectangular frame. The bottom surfaces on both sides of the frame are fixed with blocks extending vertically downward relative to it. The blocks can penetrate the opening. The support mechanism also includes a positioning beam, which is fixed to the bottom surface of all mounting beams and located above the opening.

[0007] The frame includes two wide sides and two long sides, and the top of the stop is fixed to the upper part of the bottom surface of the long side.

[0008] One side of the stop block is provided with a folding plate fixedly connected to it. The folding plate extends downward and is arranged parallel to the mounting beam. The lower end of the folding plate away from the stop block is provided with a push wheel that is rotatably mounted relative to it.

[0009] The width of the mounting groove is adapted to the width of the long side, and the length of the mounting groove is less than the length of the long side. The width of the groove opening is greater than the overall width of the stop block, the push wheel, and the folding plate, and the length of the groove opening is greater than the overall length of the stop block, the push wheel, and the folding plate.

[0010] The lower side of the positioning beam is provided with a stop bar perpendicular to it, and the lower end face of the stop bar is in contact with the upper end face of the stop block.

[0011] A third mounting hole is provided above the slot, which penetrates the mounting slot. The positioning beam is a long strip of metal plate. The positioning beam extends horizontally and is perpendicular to the mounting beam. Multiple sets of waist-shaped holes are provided through the positioning beam. Each set of waist-shaped holes includes two waist-shaped holes, and the distance between the two waist-shaped holes corresponds to the distance between the mounting beams of each set of inclined beams. The waist-shaped holes are fixed to the third mounting hole by bolts.

[0012] It also includes a crossbeam, which is arranged side by side with the positioning beam, and one of the crossbeams is fixed to the bottom of all the inclined beam groups.

[0013] Two universal joint fasteners are fixed to the bottom surface of the mounting beam. A front column and a rear column are fixed below the two universal joint fasteners on the same mounting beam, respectively. The rear column is higher than the front column.

[0014] The bottom of the front column and the rear column are respectively provided with a sleeve, which is fitted onto the outside of the front column or the rear column, and the bottom of the sleeve is provided with a foot plate.

[0015] The bottom of the mounting groove has a plurality of first mounting holes equidistantly arranged along its length. The universal angle fastener has a second mounting hole corresponding to the spacing of the first mounting holes. The second mounting hole is fixed to the first mounting hole by a bolt assembly. The universal angle fastener is fixedly connected to the top of the front column or the rear column by a large bolt at its bottom.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] The system uses blocks and slots to achieve positioning and fixation, and mounting slots to limit insertion on both sides of the frame. This eliminates the need for numerous fasteners, making installation and disassembly quick and labor-saving. Furthermore, a positioning beam secures the photovoltaic modules on a row of inclined beams, allowing for one-step removal and one-step installation, greatly simplifying the installation process, significantly improving efficiency, and saving considerable time and labor costs.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined in this application.

[0028] Example:

[0029] When installing or dismantling solar photovoltaic panels, each panel has an independent fixing device, requiring numerous fasteners (bolts, nuts, clamps, etc.) for each panel. Each panel must be handled individually during installation and dismantling. Furthermore, due to the characteristics of photovoltaic panels, at least two people are needed to lift and move them before installation and after dismantling, requiring extreme care to avoid damage. This process is very arduous, creating significant difficulties and potentially damaging components.

[0030] This loading mechanism enables rapid installation and removal of photovoltaic panels, and allows for labor-saving movement of the panels. The main structure includes a support mechanism and photovoltaic modules.

[0031] The photovoltaic module includes a frame, which is a rectangular metal frame. The frame includes two wide sides 2 and two long sides 1. During installation, the wide sides 2 are horizontal and the long sides 1 are inclined, which is consistent with most existing photovoltaic displays.

[0032] Near one end of the bottom side of the long side 1, there is a stop block 3 that is fixedly installed thereto. The stop block 3 is made of metal components. The top side of the stop block 3 is provided with a fixing piece 4 that is connected to it at a right angle. The fixing piece 4 and the stop block 3 can be fixed by welding. The fixing piece 4 is provided with multiple mounting bolts for fixing it to the bottom surface of the frame, so as to achieve reliable fixation of the entire stop block 3.

[0033] The stop block 3 extends vertically downward relative to the frame. A folding plate 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the stop block 3. The extension direction of the folding plate 5 is downward and parallel to the mounting beam 8. The folding plate 5 is vertically arranged and located below the fixing piece 4. The two are side by side. A push wheel 6 is provided at the lower end of the folding plate 5 away from the stop block 3 and is rotatably mounted relative to it. The push wheel 6 can assist the photovoltaic module to have a stable point of force when moving and to move smoothly and effortlessly.

[0034] The support mechanism includes a sloping beam assembly 7, a crossbeam 19, a positioning beam 11, a front column 17, a rear column 18, and various types of bolt and nut assemblies.

[0035] Each set of support mechanisms only requires one crossbeam 19 and one positioning beam 11.

[0036] Each support mechanism includes multiple sets of inclined beams 7, and each set of inclined beams 7 includes two parallel mounting beams 8. The top side of each mounting beam 8 has a mounting groove that runs through it along its length. The mounting groove makes the cross-section of the mounting beam 8 U-shaped, and the specific processing can directly use channel steel. The bottom of the mounting groove has multiple first mounting holes 9 evenly spaced, and the first mounting holes 9 are arranged in a central row within the mounting groove for easy cooperation with other components.

[0037] The mounting beam 8 is inclined, and its bottom side is fixed to the front column 17 and the rear column 18 respectively. The height of the front column 17 is lower than that of the rear column 18, causing the rear side of the mounting beam 8 to tilt upward. In terms of the fixing structure, two universal joint fasteners 14 are provided on the bottom side of the mounting beam 8. The universal joint fasteners 14 are fixedly connected to the top of the front column 17 or the rear column 18 at their bottom by large bolts, and the angle can be adjusted according to the inclination. The top side of the universal joint fasteners 14 also has 2-3 second mounting holes, and the spacing and size of the second mounting holes correspond to the spacing of the first mounting holes 9 at the bottom of the mounting groove. Fixing is achieved through bolt and nut assemblies connecting the first mounting holes 9 and the second mounting holes.

[0038] The bottom of the front column 17 and the rear column 18 are respectively provided with sleeves 15. The sleeves 15 are fitted onto the outside of the front column 17 or the rear column 18. Adjustable bolts are passed through the side walls of the sleeves 15. The lower half of the front column 17 and the rear column 18 are respectively provided with limiting holes. The adjustable bolts cooperate with the limiting holes to adjust the height of the front column 17 and the rear column 18.

[0039] The bottom of the sleeve 15 is provided with a foot plate 16, which extends outward to improve the fixing effect.

[0040] Based on the above structure, the inclined beam group 7 is fixed by the front column 17 and the rear column 18, so that each inclined beam group 7 is stably and reliably fixed on the bottom surface. Generally, they are laid and built in rows to form a large-scale and neatly distributed photovoltaic matrix.

[0041] The mounting groove has a slot 10 near the top edge, through which the bottom of the groove passes. The width of the slot 10 is greater than the overall width of the stop block 3, the push wheel 6 and the folding plate 5, and the length of the slot 10 is greater than the overall length of the stop block 3, the push wheel 6 and the folding plate 5. When the top side of the frame passes through the slot 10, the stop block 3, the push wheel 6 and the folding plate 5 fall from the slot 10, so that the stop block 3, the push wheel 6 and the folding plate 5 are located below the mounting beam 8.

[0042] The width of the mounting groove is adapted to the width of the long side 1, and the length of the mounting groove is less than the length of the long side 1. This allows the long side 1 to be confined and constrained within the mounting groove, achieving reliable left and right positioning. Compared to the point positioning of fasteners, the positioning of the groove 10 is a plane-to-plane positioning, which is more stable and reliable. To protect the frame, flexible gaskets can also be placed on the inner wall of the mounting groove to protect the photovoltaic modules and reduce gaps.

[0043] At least one mounting hole is provided above the slot 10. For ease of description, the hole located above the slot 10 and penetrating the mounting slot is defined as the third mounting hole.

[0044] The positioning beam 11 is a long strip of metal plate. The positioning beam 11 extends horizontally and is perpendicular to the mounting beam 8. The positioning beam 11 is fixed to the top of the bottom surface of all the inclined beam groups 7.

[0045] The positioning beam 11 has multiple sets of waist-shaped holes 12. Each set of waist-shaped holes 12 includes two holes, and the spacing between the two holes corresponds to the spacing between the mounting beams 8 of each set of inclined beams 7. By using bolts to pass through the waist-shaped holes 12 and the third mounting hole, the positioning beam 11 can be fixed to the bottom side of the mounting beam 8 on the upper side of the slot 10. The position of the positioning beam 11 can also be finely adjusted to better press down the stop block 3. A stop strip 13 perpendicular to the positioning beam 11 is provided on its lower side. The lower end face of the stop strip 13 is used to contact the stop block 3 to achieve compression and constraint. A pad, such as various flexible gaskets, can be added at the contact point between the stop strip 13 and the stop block 3. Based on the contact and pressure between the stop strip 13 and the stop block 3, the photovoltaic module can be kept in a fixed state and will not tilt up on the bottom side.

[0046] The crossbeam 19 is arranged in parallel with the positioning beam 11. The crossbeam 19 is provided with a fourth mounting hole 20. By passing through the fourth mounting hole 20 and the first mounting hole 9 with a bolt assembly, the crossbeam 19 is fixed to the middle of the bottom surface of the mounting beam 8, thereby achieving common reinforcement and fixation of multiple sets of inclined beams 7.

[0047] Based on the above structure, the installation and disassembly process of solar photovoltaic modules is as follows:

[0048] Install:

[0049] The front column 17 and rear column 18 of each set of inclined beams are assembled and installed on the ground to obtain multiple sets of parallel support units for photovoltaic modules. Then, the crossbeam 19 is fixed to the bottom of the inclined beam group 7 to complete the assembly and fixation of a row of support mechanisms.

[0050] Using the side of the photovoltaic module with the stop 3 as the top side, lift the single photovoltaic module so that the stop 3 and the push wheel 6 are in the mounting groove. Then, hold the bottom side of the photovoltaic module and push it upward. The push wheel 6 rolls in the mounting groove, which can not only limit the pushing path of the photovoltaic module and prevent it from falling or tilting, but also help the photovoltaic module to be pushed up smoothly and effortlessly.

[0051] When the top side of the frame passes through the slot 10, the pusher 6 and the stop block 3 will fall from the slot 10. At this time, the photovoltaic module can be placed on the inclined beam assembly 7, and the long side 1 sinks into the mounting groove. Due to gravity, the photovoltaic module automatically sinks, causing the lower side of the stop block 3 to abut against the lower side of the slot 10 (e.g., Figure 5 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the downward-extending folding plate 5 and push wheel 6 act like hooks to lock the photovoltaic module.

[0052] After all the photovoltaic modules are installed, fix the positioning beam 11 to the top of the bottom of the inclined beam to seal the empty space at the slot 10 and prevent the block 3 from moving.

[0053] Disassembly:

[0054] Remove the positioning beam 11 to lift the photovoltaic module upwards. When lifting, pay attention to the positional relationship between the folding plate 5 and the push wheel 6 and the slot 10. It is very convenient.

[0055] After the above installation, a fixing component—positioning beam 11—can be installed to limit and fix a row of photovoltaic modules, so that it can be quickly dismantled in one step, greatly simplifying the installation and construction steps. It can be operated by one or two people without the need for multiple people to cooperate, and the efficiency is greatly improved, saving a lot of time and labor costs.

[0056] In addition, if you want to further enhance the fixation effect, you can also use some fasteners to supplement the fixation.
