Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of photovoltaic technology, and more specifically, to a flexible photovoltaic bracket and a photovoltaic system. Background Technology

[0002] Flexible photovoltaic (PV) brackets are primarily used to support PV modules. Due to their large span, high clearance, and long spacing, they are increasingly favored by the market. When installing PV modules, flexible PV brackets need to provide a corresponding installation tilt angle to match the lighting conditions of the installation environment and maximize the reception of solar radiation.

[0003] In related technologies, flexible photovoltaic brackets of corresponding sizes are usually produced to provide the required installation tilt angle. However, when the installation environment is different, multiple flexible photovoltaic brackets of different sizes may be required. This is not conducive to the standardization of production materials and can easily increase costs. Utility Model Content

Therefore, when different installation tilt angles are required to adjust the tilt angle of the photovoltaic module relative to the module cable, the corresponding height connecting hole can be selected to connect with the module cable to ensure that the angle of the entire connecting component relative to the module cable becomes the required installation tilt angle, thereby changing the tilt angle of the photovoltaic module. In other words, the flexible photovoltaic support can meet different tilt angle requirements by adjustment, without the need to produce different sizes, ensuring the uniformity of production materials and reducing production costs.

[0042] It should be noted that the terms "one" and "more" used in this disclosure are illustrative rather than restrictive, and those skilled in the art should understand that, unless otherwise expressly indicated in the context, they should be understood as "one or more".

[0043] In related technologies, flexible photovoltaic (PV) brackets often include vertical poles positioned between the PV modules and the module cables to support them. When the length of the vertical poles varies, the overall tilt angle of the PV modules will also vary. Therefore, in order to match the corresponding installation environment, vertical poles of corresponding lengths are often manufactured according to the installation tilt angle required by that environment. Different installation environments require vertical poles of different lengths, which leads to inconsistent production materials and higher production costs.

[0044] This disclosure provides a flexible photovoltaic bracket and photovoltaic system to ensure the uniformity of production materials, thereby reducing production costs. Detailed descriptions are provided below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, a flexible photovoltaic support 100 provided in this embodiment includes a connecting component 1 and a support member 2. The connecting component 1 includes a first connecting structure 11 and a second connecting structure 12 respectively connected to both ends of a photovoltaic module 200. The first connecting structure 11 is used to connect to the module cable 300. The support member 2 has a plurality of connecting holes 211 arranged sequentially along its extension direction. One end of the support member 2 is connected to the second connecting structure 12, and the other end is used to connect to the module cable 300 through the connecting hole 211 at any height.

[0046] It should be noted that the support member 2, used to support the photovoltaic module 200, can be in the form of a vertical rod. Its top end can be fastened or hinged to the second connecting structure 12 to facilitate adjustment of the angle of the support member 2 relative to the connecting component 1. This allows for simultaneous adjustment of the angle of the support member 2 relative to the connecting component 1 when adjusting the tilt angle of the connecting component 1 relative to the module cable 300, ensuring the support member 2 is in a vertical position for better support on the module cable 300. The specific number of connecting holes 211 is not limited. For example, if one connecting hole 211 is required for connection to the module cable 300, the number of connecting holes 211 can be two or more; if two connecting holes 211 are required for connection to the module cable 300, the number of connecting holes 211 can be three or more. It should also be noted that the first connecting structure 11 can be connected to the module cable 300 via rope clamps 6, and the support member 2 can also be connected to the module cable 300 via rope clamps 6. Furthermore, the two ends of the photovoltaic module 200 can be located along its width direction (…). Figure 1 The two ends on the X-axis (as shown).

[0047] In this embodiment, by connecting the first connecting structure 11 and the second connecting structure 12 of the connecting component 1 to both ends of the photovoltaic module 200, and connecting the first connecting structure 11 to the component cable 300, and connecting both ends of the support member 2 to the second connecting structure 12 and the component cable 300, the two ends of the photovoltaic module 200 are indirectly fixed to the component cable 300, thereby realizing the installation of the photovoltaic module 200 on the component cable 300; at the same time, by providing a plurality of connecting holes 211 arranged sequentially along its extension direction on the support member 2, and the connecting holes 211 being used to connect the component cable 300, so that... The support member 2 can be connected to the component cable 300 by selecting connection holes 211 of different heights. Therefore, when the photovoltaic bracket needs to provide different installation tilt angles to adjust the tilt angle of the photovoltaic module 200 relative to the component cable 300, it can be connected to the component cable 300 by selecting the corresponding height connection hole 211 to ensure that the angle of the entire connecting component 1 relative to the component cable 300 becomes the required installation tilt angle, thereby changing the tilt angle of the photovoltaic module 200. That is, the flexible photovoltaic bracket 100 can meet different tilt angle requirements by adjustment, without the need to produce different sizes, ensuring the uniformity of production materials and reducing production costs.

[0048] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, both the first connection structure 11 and the second connection structure 12 include a connecting plate 13 and a pad 14 that is fastened to the connecting plate 13. The connecting plate 13 is fastened to the photovoltaic module 200. The pad 14 corresponding to the first connection structure 11 is fastened to the module cable 300. The pad 14 corresponding to the second connection structure 12 is fastened to the support member 2.

[0049] Specifically, the connecting plate 13 extends along the edge of the photovoltaic module 200. When the connecting plate 13 is located at both ends in the width direction of the photovoltaic module 200, the connecting plate 13 extends along the long side of the photovoltaic module 200. In addition, the connecting plate 13 may be provided with through holes to connect with the photovoltaic module 200 and the pad 14. The pad 14 may also be provided with through holes to connect with the connecting plate 13, the support member 2, or the module cable 300.

[0050] In this optional embodiment, by designing both the first connecting structure 11 and the second connecting structure 12 as a connecting plate 13 and a pad 14, the structural consistency of the first connecting structure 11 and the second connecting structure 12 can be ensured, which is more conducive to the uniformity of production materials.

[0051] Optionally, such as Figure 4As shown, two pads 14 are connected to the connecting plate 13. The two pads 14 corresponding to the first connecting structure 11 are respectively connected to two adjacent component cables 300. One end of the support member 2 is respectively connected to the two pads 14 corresponding to the second connecting structure 12. The other ends of the two support members 2 are respectively fastened to two adjacent component cables 300.

[0052] Specifically, the two pads 14 on the connecting plate 13 can be spaced apart along the length of the connecting plate 13 to facilitate the connection of two adjacent component cables 300.

[0053] In this optional embodiment, the above-mentioned arrangement enables the flexible photovoltaic support 100 to be simultaneously mounted on two component cables 300, which makes the installation of the flexible photovoltaic support 100 more stable, thereby ensuring the reliability and safety of the photovoltaic system.

[0054] Optionally, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the two sides of the connecting plate 13 are bent to form a first plate segment 131 and a second plate segment 132 respectively. The first plate segment 131 is fastened to the photovoltaic module 200. The pad plate 14 includes an upper plate portion 141 connected to the second plate segment 132 and a lower plate portion 142 bent downward relative to the upper plate portion 141. The lower plate portion 142 corresponding to the first connecting structure 11 is fastened to the module cable 300, and the lower plate portion 142 corresponding to the second connecting structure 12 is fastened to the support member 2.

[0055] It should be noted that the first plate segment 131 and the second plate segment 132 can be formed by bending the two sides of the connecting plate 13 toward different sides, so that the cross section of the connecting plate 13 is Z-shaped; or, the first plate segment 131 and the second plate segment 132 can be formed by bending the two sides of the connecting plate 13 toward the same side, so that the cross section of the connecting plate 13 is C-shaped.

[0056] In this optional embodiment, by bending the connecting plate 13 to form the first plate segment 131 and the second plate segment 132, and simultaneously setting the pad 14 as the upper plate portion 141 and the downwardly bent lower plate portion 142, it can be ensured that the connecting plate 13 and the pad 14 are not easily deformed, thereby improving the structural strength of the connection structure. In addition, by connecting the first plate segment 131 to the photovoltaic module 200, the second plate segment 132 to the upper plate portion 141, and the lower plate portion 142 to the module cable 300 or the support member 2, it can be ensured that the connection areas are staggered, making operation easier and installation faster.

[0057] Optionally, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the second plate segment 132 is provided with a plurality of first through holes 1321 arranged sequentially along its length direction, the upper plate portion 141 is provided with a second through hole 1411, and the flexible photovoltaic bracket 100 further includes a first fastener 3, the first fastener 3 passing through the second through hole 1411 and any of the first through holes 1321 in sequence, so that the upper plate portion 141 is fastened to the second plate segment 132.

[0058] Specifically, the first fastener 3 may include a first bolt and a first nut. The first bolt passes through the second through hole 1411 and the first through hole 1321. The first nut is threaded onto the first bolt. The first nut and the first bolt together clamp the upper plate portion 141 and the second plate segment 132.

[0059] It should be noted that when two pads 14 are connected to the connecting plate 13, two sets of first through holes 1321 can be set on the second plate segment 132, and the two pads 14 can be connected to the two sets of first through holes 1321 respectively.

[0060] In this optional embodiment, since the second plate segment 132 is provided with a plurality of first through holes 1321 arranged sequentially along its length direction, when assembling the connecting plate 13 and the pad 14, any one of the first through holes 1321 can be aligned with the second through hole 1411 and then fastened with the first fastener 3. When the selected first through hole 1321 is in a different position, the horizontal position of the pad 14 relative to the connecting plate 13 will also change, so that the distance between the two pads 14 on the connecting plate 13 is adjustable, thereby adapting to component cables 300 with different spacing and improving the adaptability of the flexible photovoltaic bracket 100.

[0061] It should be noted that this disclosure does not limit the specific structure of the support member 2, for example, as Figure 7 As shown, the support member 2 may include a main body plate 21 extending vertically and two side plates 22 extending from both sides of the main body plate 21 toward the same side. Multiple connecting holes 211 may be provided on the main body plate 21. This structural form can improve the structural strength of the support member 2.

[0062] Optionally, such as Figure 8 As shown, the flexible photovoltaic bracket 100 also includes a diagonal brace 4, the two ends of which are fastened to the support member 2 and the connecting plate 13, respectively.

[0063] In this optional embodiment, the diagonal brace 4 can improve the connection reliability between the support 2 and the connecting structure, thereby preventing the photovoltaic module 200 from shifting or sliding.

[0064] Optionally, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the support member 2 has a third through hole 212. One end of the diagonal brace 4 is fastened to the third through hole 212, and the other end is fastened to one of the first through holes 1321.

[0065] Specifically, such as Figure 9 As shown, the diagonal brace 4 may include a diagonal brace 41 and diagonal brace plates 42 disposed at both ends of the diagonal brace 41. One diagonal brace plate 42 is connected to the third through hole 212 by bolts, and the other diagonal brace plate 42 is connected to the first through hole 1321 by bolts, so as to facilitate installation and disassembly.

[0066] In this optional embodiment, since the diagonal brace 4 is directly connected via the first through hole 1321 of the second plate segment 132, there is no need to make additional holes on the second plate segment 132, which helps to simplify the structure of the connecting plate 13.

[0067] Optionally, such as Figure 6 As shown, the upper plate portion 141 is provided with two baffles 1412 spaced apart, and the two baffles 1412 together with the upper plate portion 141 define a limiting groove for the second plate segment 132 to pass through.

[0068] Specifically, the distance between the two baffles 1412 can be equivalent to the width of the second plate segment 132, so as to more effectively limit the second plate segment 132.

[0069] In this optional embodiment, the limiting groove can restrict the movement of the second plate segment 132 relative to the upper plate portion 141 along the width direction of the second plate segment 132, so as to prevent the second plate segment 132 from disengaging from the upper plate portion 141.

[0070] Optionally, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 10 As shown, the first connecting structure 11 and the second connecting structure 12 further include a pressure block 15 connected to the connecting plate 13. The pressure block 15 includes two spaced-apart snap-fit ​​walls 151, which together define a snap-fit ​​space for snapping with the edge of the photovoltaic module 200.

[0071] It should be noted that there is no limit to the number of pressure blocks 15 provided in the first connecting structure 11 and the second connecting structure 12. The number of pressure blocks 15 can be determined according to the number of photovoltaic modules 200. For example, when two photovoltaic modules 200 are installed on the flexible photovoltaic bracket 100, the first connecting structure 11 and the second connecting structure 12 can each include two pressure blocks 15, for a total of four pressure blocks 15, to correspondingly snap the two photovoltaic modules 200.

[0072] In this optional embodiment, since the two snap-fit ​​walls 151 of the pressure block 15 define a snap-fit ​​space, when installing the photovoltaic module 200, the edge of the photovoltaic module 200 can be snapped into the snap-fit ​​space to form a snap-fit ​​effect of the connection structure on the photovoltaic module 200, thereby improving the connection reliability between the photovoltaic module 200 and the connection structure and effectively preventing the photovoltaic module 200 from shifting and rotating.

[0073] Optionally, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 10 As shown, the first plate segment 131 has a fourth through hole 1511 on the snap-fit ​​wall 151 and a fifth through hole 1311 on the first plate segment 131. The flexible photovoltaic bracket 100 also includes a second fastener 5, which passes through the fifth through hole 1311, the fourth through hole 1511 and the mounting hole 230 of the photovoltaic module 200 in sequence, so that the first plate segment 131 and the snap-fit ​​wall 151 are fixed to the photovoltaic module 200.

[0074] Specifically, the first plate segment 131 can be attached to the snap-fit ​​wall 151 and fastened by the second fastener 5. The second fastener 5 may include a second bolt and a second nut. The second bolt passes through the fifth through hole 1311, the fourth through hole 1511 and the mounting hole 230. The second nut is threaded onto the second bolt. The second nut and the second bolt together fasten the first plate segment 131, the snap-fit ​​wall 151 and the photovoltaic module 200.

[0075] It should be noted that, as Figure 11 As shown, a photovoltaic module 200 typically includes a module frame 210 and a photovoltaic panel 220 disposed within the module frame 210, the module frame 210 having mounting holes 230.

[0076] In this optional embodiment, by opening a fourth through hole 1511 on the snap-fit ​​wall 151 and a fifth through hole 1311 on the first plate segment 131, and simultaneously passing the second fastener 5 through the fifth through hole 1311, the fourth through hole 1511 and the mounting hole 230 of the photovoltaic module 200 in sequence, the connecting plate 13, the pressure block 15 and the photovoltaic module 200 can be fixed, thereby improving the installation stability of the photovoltaic module 200. Furthermore, the second fastener 5 can simultaneously connect and fix the three components of the connecting plate 13, the pressure block 15 and the photovoltaic module 200, saving the use of fasteners and reducing costs.

[0077] Optionally, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 12As shown, the lower plate 142 is provided with a sixth through hole 1421, and the support member 2 is provided with a seventh through hole 213. The sixth through hole 1421 corresponding to the first connecting structure 11 and the connecting hole 211 of the support member 2 are respectively equipped with rope clips 6 for connecting the component cable 300. The sixth through hole 1421 corresponding to the second connecting structure 12 and the seventh through hole 213 of the support member 2 are fastened together by a third fastener 7.

[0078] Specifically, such as Figure 13 As shown, the rope clamp 6 may include a U-bolt 61, a clamping seat 62, a clamping washer 63, and a clamping nut 64. The clamping seat 62 passes through the U-bolt 61 to define a clamping hole for clamping the component cable 300. The clamping washer 63 and the clamping nut 64 are connected to the U-bolt 61. When the rope clamp 6 is installed in the sixth through hole 1421, the U-bolt 61 can be inserted into the sixth through hole 1421, and the lower plate portion 142 is clamped by the clamping seat 62, the clamping washer 63, and the clamping nut 64. When the rope clamp 6 is installed in the connecting hole 211, the U-bolt 61 can be inserted into the connecting hole 211, and the support member 2 is clamped by the clamping seat 62, the clamping washer 63, and the clamping nut 64. Additionally, when installing the rope clamp 6 into the connecting hole 211, both ends of the U-bolt 61 of the rope clamp 6 can be inserted into the two connecting holes 211 respectively to improve the connection effect between the rope clamp 6 and the support member 2. At the same time, when installing the rope clamp 6 into the sixth through hole 1421, one end of the U-bolt 61 of the rope clamp 6 can be inserted into the sixth through hole 1421, while the other end of the U-bolt 61 of the rope clamp 6 is suspended or inserted into the arc-shaped waist hole 1422 (described below) of the lower plate portion 142, so that when adjusting the tilt angle of the connecting assembly 1, the rope clamp 6 can rotate relative to the sixth through hole 1421 to adapt to changes in the tilt angle.

[0079] Specifically, the third fastener 7 may include a third bolt and a third nut. The third bolt passes sequentially through the sixth through hole 1421 and the seventh through hole 213, and the third nut is threaded onto the third bolt to achieve a tight connection between the support member 2 and the pad 14 in the second connecting structure 12. When adjusting the tilt angle of the connecting assembly 1, the third nut can be loosened first, allowing the support member 2 to rotate relative to the connecting assembly 1. After the tilt angle adjustment is completed, the third nut can be tightened to fix the support member 2 and the connecting assembly 1 relative to each other to prevent accidental rotation. Of course, in some other embodiments, the third fastener 7 can be replaced by a hinge shaft, which can pass sequentially through the sixth through hole 1421 of the second connecting structure 12 and the seventh through hole 213 of the support member 2 to achieve a hinge between the support member 2 and the pad 14 in the second connecting structure 12. This allows the support member 2 to rotate relative to the pad 14, facilitating the adjustment of the angle of the support member 2 relative to the connecting assembly 1.

[0080] In this optional embodiment, a rope clip 6 is installed on the sixth through hole 1421, and the rope clip 6 is connected to the component cable 300. That is, the rope clip 6 is used to connect the pad 14 and the component cable 300. Similarly, a rope clip 6 is installed on the connecting hole 211, and the rope clip 6 is connected to the component cable 300. This provides a reliable fixing effect, ensuring that the component cable 300 will not accidentally fall off. Meanwhile, the sixth through hole 1421 and the seventh through hole 213 are connected by a third fastener 7. Therefore, the sixth through hole 1421 of the pad 14 can be used for both the installation of the rope clip 6 and the installation of the third fastener 7, eliminating the need to create two through holes for each use case. This simplifies the structure of the pad 14 and reduces production costs.

[0081] Optionally, such as Figure 14 As shown, the flexible photovoltaic support 100 also includes a connecting gasket 8, which has a through hole. The two ends of the rope clamp 6 are respectively inserted into the sixth through hole 1421 and the through hole.

[0082] Specifically, the connecting gasket 8 can be the same thickness as the lower plate 142 to ensure that the clamping gaskets 63 at both ends are flush when the rope clamp 6 is installed.

[0083] In this optional embodiment, the above-mentioned arrangement allows the entire connecting washer 8 to rotate along with the rope clamp 6 when it rotates about the center of the sixth through hole 1421, adapting to the change in the tilt angle of the connecting assembly 1. Furthermore, without the connecting washer 8, when the rope clamp 6 is installed, one end of the U-bolt 61 is inserted into the sixth through hole 1421 while the other end is suspended. The washer at one end will adhere to the side of the lower plate 142, and the washer at the other end will adhere to the clamp seat 62. Consequently, when the rope clamp 6 rotates, the washer at the other end may contact the edge of the lower plate 142, affecting the rotation of the rope clamp 6. This solution, by adding a connecting washer 8 with a through hole and inserting both ends of the rope clamp 6 into the sixth through hole 1421 and the through hole respectively, avoids direct contact between the washer and the edge of the lower plate 142 when the rope clamp 6 rotates, ensuring the normal rotation of the rope clamp 6.

[0084] Optionally, such as Figure 15 As shown, the lower plate 142 is also provided with an arc-shaped waist hole 1422. The curvature center of the arc-shaped waist hole 1422 coincides with the center of the sixth through hole 1421. The two ends of the rope clamp 6 are respectively inserted into the sixth through hole 1421 and the arc-shaped waist hole 1422.

[0085] In this optional embodiment, the above-mentioned arrangement allows the portion of the rope clamp 6 inserted into the arc-shaped waist hole 1422 to move along the arc-shaped waist hole 1422 when the rope clamp 6 rotates about the center of the sixth through hole 1421, so as to adapt to the change in the tilt angle of the connecting assembly 1. Furthermore, if the lower plate 142 does not have an arc-shaped waist hole 1422, when the rope clamp 6 is installed, one end of the U-bolt 61 is inserted into the sixth through hole 1421 and the other end of the U-bolt 61 is suspended. The washer at one end will be attached to the side of the lower plate 142, and the washer at the other end will be attached to the clamp seat 62. In this way, when the rope clamp 6 rotates, the washer at the other end may come into contact with the edge of the lower plate 142, affecting the rotation of the rope clamp 6. However, this solution provides an arc-shaped waist hole 1422 and inserts both ends of the rope clamp 6 into the sixth through hole 1421 and the arc-shaped waist hole 1422 respectively, so that the washer at the other end can be directly attached to the side of the lower plate 142. This avoids the washer from directly contacting the edge of the lower plate 142 when the rope clamp 6 rotates, thus ensuring the normal rotation of the rope clamp 6.

[0086] like Figure 16 As shown in the present disclosure, a photovoltaic system includes a component cable 300, a photovoltaic module 200, and a flexible photovoltaic support 100 as described above. The flexible photovoltaic support 100 is mounted on two adjacent component cables 300, and the photovoltaic module 200 is mounted on the flexible photovoltaic support 100.

[0087] Specifically, multiple modules 300, photovoltaic modules 200, and flexible photovoltaic supports 100 can be installed, with one flexible photovoltaic support 100 installed on every two module cables 300, and multiple photovoltaic modules 200 installed on multiple flexible photovoltaic supports 100. Furthermore, the connecting plates 13 of the two flexible photovoltaic supports 100 located at both ends of the photovoltaic system can be of shorter length to ensure that the ends of the connecting plates 13 do not protrude beyond the photovoltaic modules 200, thus improving the overall aesthetics of the photovoltaic system.

[0088] There are no restrictions on the specific installation steps of the photovoltaic system. For example, first connect the flexible photovoltaic bracket 100 to the module frame 210, then hoist the whole system onto the module cable 300, adjust the tilt angle, and then install the photovoltaic panel 220 and the remaining photovoltaic modules 200.

[0089] In this embodiment, since the flexible photovoltaic support 100 is installed on two adjacent component cables 300 at the same time, the installation of the flexible photovoltaic support 100 is more stable, thereby ensuring the reliability and safety of the photovoltaic system.

[0090] While the above disclosure is provided, the scope of protection of this disclosure is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure, and all such changes and modifications will fall within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
