[0052] The core of this application is to provide an auxiliary feeding mechanism for photovoltaic module packages to improve the feeding efficiency of photovoltaic module packages.

[0053] Another core aspect of this application is to provide a photovoltaic installation device with the aforementioned auxiliary feeding mechanism.

[0054] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0055] During photovoltaic (PV) module installation, PV module packages are typically placed on the ground first, and then the PV module gripping mechanism on the installation equipment picks them up for installation. However, due to the usual height difference between the gripping mechanism and the PV module packages, and the uneven placement of the packages, the gripping mechanism faces difficulties in picking up the packages, resulting in low loading efficiency.

[0056] Therefore, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this application discloses an auxiliary feeding mechanism for photovoltaic module packages, including a mounting frame 100, a flipping mechanism 200, a lifting mechanism 300, a lateral movement mechanism 400, a fork arm mechanism 500, and a limiting mechanism 600. The auxiliary feeding mechanism for photovoltaic module packages 700 disclosed in this application integrates lifting, flipping, lateral movement, and limiting functions, solving the problem of difficulty in gripping photovoltaic module packages 700 by the gripping mechanism. This enables photovoltaic installation equipment to feed independently, improving the positioning accuracy and feeding efficiency of the photovoltaic module packages 700, thereby improving the installation efficiency of photovoltaic modules.

[0057] The following will combine Figures 1 to 11The auxiliary feeding mechanism for photovoltaic module packages disclosed in the embodiments of this application will be explained and described in detail.

[0058] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the flipping mechanism 200 can be mounted on the mounting frame 100 to rotate the photovoltaic module package 700 towards or away from the mounting frame 100. The lifting mechanism 300 can be mounted on the flipping mechanism 200 to move the photovoltaic module package 700 vertically. The lateral movement mechanism 400 can be mounted on the lifting mechanism 300 to move the photovoltaic module package 700 horizontally. The fork arm mechanism 500 can be attached to the lateral movement mechanism 400 to scoop up the photovoltaic module package 700. The limiting mechanism 600 can be set on the transverse mechanism 400 to limit the position of the photovoltaic module pack 700. The limiting mechanism 600 and the fork arm mechanism 500 can respectively abut against different sides of the photovoltaic module pack 700. That is, the fork arm mechanism 500 can lift the photovoltaic module pack 700 so that the fork arm mechanism 500 abuts against the bottom surface of the photovoltaic module pack 700, while the limiting mechanism 600 can be located on the side of the photovoltaic module pack 700 so that the limiting mechanism 600 abuts against the side of the photovoltaic module pack 700, thereby limiting the photovoltaic module pack 700 and making it upright. It should be noted that the photovoltaic module pack 700 can be formed by stacking multiple photovoltaic modules. When the fork arm mechanism 500 lifts the photovoltaic module pack 700, the long side of each photovoltaic module abuts against the fork arm mechanism 500, while the limiting mechanism 600 can abut against the surface of the photovoltaic module on the side of the photovoltaic module pack 700 closest to the mounting frame 100 or against the short side of each photovoltaic module, thereby limiting the photovoltaic module pack 700.

[0059] When feeding materials, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the photovoltaic module pack 700 can be lifted by the fork arm mechanism 500, and the side of the photovoltaic module pack 700 can be limited by the limiting mechanism 600 to straighten its position. Then, the photovoltaic module pack 700 can be moved vertically by the lifting mechanism 300 and horizontally by the lateral moving mechanism 400 until it reaches the target position. Finally, the photovoltaic module pack 700 can be rotated by the flipping mechanism 200 to move closer to or away from the mounting frame 100, so that the photovoltaic modules can be picked up one by one. Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, this solves the problem of difficulty in gripping the photovoltaic module package 700 by the gripping mechanism, enabling the photovoltaic installation equipment to feed the module independently. This improves the positioning accuracy and feeding efficiency of the photovoltaic module package 700, thereby increasing the installation efficiency of the photovoltaic modules. It should be noted that when the limiting mechanism 600 limits the photovoltaic module package 700, no impact pressure is applied to the photovoltaic module package 700. Similarly, when the flipping mechanism 200 flips the photovoltaic module package 700, no impact pressure is applied to it, thus ensuring that the photovoltaic modules are not damaged.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the flipping mechanism 200 may include a flipping frame 201 and a flipping drive mechanism. Two flipping hinge supports 101 may be provided at the end of the mounting bracket 100, and the flipping frame 201 may be located between the two flipping hinge supports 101 and hinged to them, so that the flipping frame 201 can be driven to rotate around the flipping hinge supports 101 by the flipping drive mechanism. It should be noted that the initial state of the flipping frame 201 is that the flipping frame 201 is perpendicular to the mounting bracket 100.

[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the flipping frame 201 can be a rectangular frame, and can be composed of paired flipping longitudinal beams and flipping transverse beams. The flipping longitudinal beams and flipping transverse beams can be connected by welding to improve the overall stability of the flipping frame 201. Simultaneously, to improve the overall strength of the flipping frame 201, one or more reinforcing flipping transverse beams can be connected between the two flipping longitudinal beams. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the mounting frame 100 can be a U-shaped frame with an opening on one side. The mounting frame 100 can include an end mounting crossbeam and two mounting longitudinal beams, and each end mounting crossbeam and mounting longitudinal beam can be fixed by welding to improve the overall stability of the mounting frame 100. At the same time, in order to ensure the overall strength and stability of the mounting frame 100, one or more intermediate mounting crossbeams can be connected between the two mounting longitudinal beams. The flip hinge support 101 can be an L-shaped structure, and the flip hinge support 101 can be fixed to the end of the mounting longitudinal beam away from the end mounting crossbeam, that is, the open side of the mounting frame 100, by bolts or other fasteners, so that the flip frame 201 can be installed at the open position of the mounting frame 100, and the two flip longitudinal beams of the flip frame 201 are respectively hinged to the flip hinge support 101 on the corresponding side.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3 to 7As shown, the tilting drive mechanism may include a tilting drive cylinder 202, wherein the rodless end of the tilting drive cylinder 202 can be connected to the intermediate mounting beam of the mounting bracket 100, and the cylinder rod of the tilting drive cylinder 202 can be connected to the tilting frame 201. Thus, the tilting action of the tilting frame 201 can be achieved through the extension and retraction of the cylinder rod of the tilting drive cylinder 202. It should be noted that the tilting drive mechanism may also employ a telescopic cylinder, a tilting cylinder, or other drive mechanisms to achieve the tilting action of the tilting frame 201.

[0063] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the lifting mechanism 300 may include a lifting frame 301 and a lifting drive mechanism. The lifting frame 301 is movably mounted on the tilting frame 201, allowing the lifting frame 301 to move vertically along the tilting frame 201 via the lifting drive mechanism. The lifting frame 301 may be a rectangular frame, composed of paired lifting crossbeams and lifting longitudinal beams. Each lifting crossbeam and lifting longitudinal beam can be welded together to improve the overall stability of the lifting frame 301. To ensure the overall strength and stability of the lifting frame 301, one or more reinforcing lifting longitudinal beams may be connected between the two lifting crossbeams. The lifting longitudinal beams of the lifting frame 301 may be parallel to the tilting longitudinal beams of the tilting frame 201, allowing them to move vertically along the tilting longitudinal beams of the tilting frame 201 under the drive of the lifting drive mechanism.

[0064] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, guide grooves 2011 can be provided on both sides of the flipping frame 201, i.e., on the opposite sides of the flipping longitudinal beam of the flipping frame 201. At the same time, a first lifting guide wheel 3011 that rolls with the side wall of the guide groove 2011 and a second lifting guide wheel 3012 that rolls with the bottom wall of the guide groove 2011 can be provided on both sides of the lifting frame 301. Thus, the first lifting guide wheel 3011 and the second lifting guide wheel 3012 can roll with the guide groove 2011 to guide and limit the vertical movement of the lifting frame 301 along the flipping frame 201, thereby ensuring the stability of the vertical movement of the lifting frame 301.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the lifting drive mechanism may include a lifting drive cylinder 302 and a lifting roller assembly 303. A lifting cylinder seat 2012 may be provided on the tilting beam at the bottom of the tilting frame 201. The rodless end of the lifting drive cylinder 302 may be connected to the lifting cylinder seat 2012. The lifting roller assembly 303 is connected to the lifting frame 301, and the cylinder rod of the lifting drive cylinder 302 is connected to the lifting roller assembly 303. The lifting drive cylinder 302 is arranged vertically so that the extension and retraction of the cylinder rod of the lifting drive cylinder 302 drives the lifting roller assembly 303 to move vertically, thereby moving the lifting frame 301. It should be noted that the lifting drive mechanism may also employ a worm gear lifting mechanism, a telescopic cylinder, or other drive mechanisms to move the lifting frame 301.

[0066] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lifting roller assembly 303 may include a roller shaft 3031, a lifting roller 3032, and a traction member 3033. The roller shaft 3031 can be connected to the cylinder rod of the lifting drive cylinder 302. The lifting roller 3032 is sleeved on the roller shaft 3031 via a roller bearing, and the axial movement of the roller bearing is limited by a roller retaining spring. The traction member 3033 is wound around the lifting roller 3032. One end of the traction member 3033 is connected to the lifting cylinder seat 2012, and the other end is connected to the lifting frame 301. Optionally, a cantilever portion can be fixed to the lifting beam at the bottom of the lifting frame 301, and the cantilever portion can extend toward one side of the tilting frame 201, so that the traction member 3033 can be connected to the cantilever portion of the lifting frame 301. This ensures that when the lifting drive cylinder 302 extends or retracts, the total length of the traction member 3033 remains unchanged, thereby driving the lifting frame 301 to move vertically via the traction member 3033. It should be noted that the traction member 3033 can be made of steel wire rope or chain, etc.

[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lateral movement mechanism 400 may include a lateral movement frame 401 and a lateral movement drive mechanism, and the lateral movement frame 401 is movably disposed on the lifting frame 301 so that the lateral movement frame 401 can be driven by the lateral movement drive mechanism to move in the horizontal direction of the lifting frame 301. Figure 2 As shown, the transverse frame 401 may include two transverse beams arranged parallel to the lifting beam. One or more transverse longitudinal beams may be connected between the two transverse beams, and each transverse beam and transverse longitudinal beam may be connected by welding to ensure the stability of the transverse frame 401. At the same time, reinforcing ribs may be provided at the connection positions between the transverse longitudinal beams and the transverse beams to improve the connection strength between the transverse longitudinal beams and the transverse beams.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a fall arrestor 4011 can be provided on the side of the horizontal beam at the bottom of the horizontal frame 401 and near the lifting frame 301 to prevent the lifting frame 301 from falling due to abnormal force. One or more fall arrestors 4011 can be used. The fall arrestor 4011 has a slot to accommodate the lifting beam at the bottom of the lifting frame 301. The lifting beam at the bottom of the lifting frame 301 is clearance-fitted with the side wall of the slot so that the horizontal frame 401 can move horizontally along the lifting beam of the lifting frame 301.

[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the transverse frame 401 may be equipped with a first transverse guide wheel 4012 that engages with the top surface of the lifting frame 301 and a second transverse guide wheel that engages with the side surface of the lifting frame 301. The second transverse guide wheel may include a first side transverse guide wheel 4013 that engages with the first side surface of the lifting frame 301 and a second side transverse guide wheel 4014 that engages with the second side surface of the lifting frame 301. The first and second sides of the lifting frame 301 are arranged opposite to each other, thereby guiding and limiting the horizontal movement of the transverse frame 401 along the horizontal direction of the lifting frame 301 through the first transverse guide wheel 4012, the first side transverse guide wheel 4013, and the second side transverse guide wheel 4014, ensuring the stability of the transverse frame 401's horizontal movement. Optionally, the first transverse guide wheel 4012 may be disposed on the transverse beam at the top of the transverse frame 401 and roll in contact with the top surface of the lifting beam at the top of the lifting frame 301, and one or more first transverse guide wheels 4012 may be used. Meanwhile, the first side transverse guide wheel 4013 can be disposed on the transverse beam at the top of the transverse frame 401 and extend toward the lifting beam at the top of the lifting frame 301, so that the first side transverse guide wheel 4013 can roll in cooperation with the lifting beam at the top of the lifting frame 301 away from the first side of the transverse frame 401. One or more first side transverse guide wheels 4013 can be used. The second side transverse guide wheels 4014 can be disposed on the transverse beams at the top and bottom of the transverse frame 401 respectively, and one or more second side transverse guide wheels 4014 can be disposed on each transverse beam. At the same time, the second side transverse guide wheels 4014 on the transverse beams at the top and bottom of the transverse frame 401 can roll in cooperation with the two lifting beams of the lifting frame 301 near the second side of the transverse frame 401 respectively.

[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the lateral movement drive mechanism may include a lateral movement drive cylinder 402, and the rodless end of the lateral movement drive cylinder 402 can be connected to the lifting longitudinal beam of the lifting frame 301. Simultaneously, the cylinder rod of the lateral movement drive cylinder 402 can be connected to the lateral movement longitudinal beam of the lateral movement frame 401. The lateral movement drive cylinder 402 is arranged horizontally so that the extension and retraction of the cylinder rod of the lateral movement drive cylinder 402 can drive the lateral movement frame 401 to move horizontally. It should be noted that the lateral movement drive mechanism may also employ a telescopic cylinder or other drive mechanism to drive the lateral movement frame 401 to move horizontally.

[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a floating connecting plate 4015 extending towards one side of the lifting frame 301 can be provided on the transverse longitudinal beam of the transverse frame 401. A floating groove 4016 is provided on the floating connecting plate 4015, and an opening is provided in the floating groove 4016 to facilitate the installation of the cylinder rod of the transverse drive cylinder 402. The opening is located on the side of the floating connecting plate 4015 close to the lifting frame 301. Thus, the cylinder rod of the transverse drive cylinder 402 can be inserted into the floating groove 4016 through the opening of the floating connecting plate 4015. Since there is a floating space between the extension side of the opening (i.e., the opening position) and the bottom of the floating groove 4016, the installation error of the cylinder rod of the transverse drive cylinder 402 can be eliminated, so that the connection and fixation between the cylinder rod of the transverse drive cylinder 402 and the transverse frame 401 can be achieved.

[0072] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lifting roller assembly 303 may further include an oil pipe roller 3034. The oil pipe roller 3034 can be sleeved on the roller shaft 3031 via a roller bearing, and the axial movement of the roller bearing can be limited by a roller retaining spring. Simultaneously, the oil pipe 3035 supplying oil to the lateral drive cylinder 402 can be wound around the oil pipe roller 3034, so that the total length of the oil pipe 3035 remains unchanged when the lifting drive cylinder 302 extends and retracts. This ensures that the oil pipe 3035 will not be pulled or detached during movement, and that it is not easily worn or damaged by compression, making the hydraulic power transmission of the lateral drive cylinder 402 more stable and reliable. Furthermore, the oil pipe 3035 supplying oil to the lateral drive cylinder 402 can be arranged inside the auxiliary feeding mechanism, resulting in a neat layout that does not occupy external space and makes maintenance more convenient and quick.

[0073] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, there can be two limiting mechanisms 600, and the two limiting mechanisms 600 can be located at opposite ends of the transverse frame 401, so as to push the photovoltaic module pack 700 and thus straighten its position. Simultaneously, when the photovoltaic module pack 700 is flipped, the stability of the supporting photovoltaic module pack 700 can be ensured. The limiting mechanism 600 may include a pushing plate 601 for pushing the photovoltaic module pack 700 and a pushing drive mechanism, so that the pushing plate 601 can be driven by the pushing drive mechanism to move closer to or further away from the photovoltaic module pack 700, thereby pushing the photovoltaic module pack 700 to straighten its position.

[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the push drive mechanism may include a push support 602 and a jacking mechanism 603. The push support 602 may have an L-shaped cross-section, and one side of the push support 602 may be fixed to the end of the transverse frame 401 via bolts or other fasteners. Simultaneously, the jacking mechanism 603 may be fixed to the other side of the push support 602. Optionally, the jacking mechanism 603 may include a worm gear mechanism 6031 connected to both ends of the push plate 601, and the two worm gear mechanisms 6031 are connected by a coupling 6032 to enable synchronous movement. A drive handwheel 6033 may be provided at the input end of either of the two worm gear mechanisms 6031, allowing the operator to drive the worm gear mechanism 6031 by rotating the drive handwheel 6033, thereby realizing the pushing and retracting action of the push plate 601. A quick-release spacer 6034 can be installed at the connection point between the coupling 6032 and the worm gear mechanism 6031 to facilitate the easy assembly and disassembly of the coupling 6032. Simultaneously, a coupling retaining circlip 6035 can be fixed to the outside of the coupling 6032 to restrict the position of the quick-release spacer 6034. As can be seen from the above embodiment, using two worm gear mechanisms 6031, a single force-amplifying transmission can achieve synchronous movement of the two worm gear mechanisms 6031. Furthermore, the worm gear mechanism 6031 can achieve reverse self-locking, thereby ensuring manual operability and a self-locking anti-reverse function.

[0075] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the limiting mechanism 600 may include a limit switch assembly 604 disposed on the lifting mechanism 300 and a clamping arm assembly 605 movably disposed at both ends of the transverse mechanism 400, so as to clamp both sides of the photovoltaic module package 700 through the two clamping arm assemblies 605, while the limit switch assembly 604 may contact one of the two clamping arm assemblies 605 to detect whether the photovoltaic module package 700 has reached the target position.

[0076] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, the clamping arm assembly 605 may include clamping arms 6051 that clamp the short sides of each photovoltaic module on both sides of the photovoltaic module package 700, and guide rods 6052 connected to the clamping arms 6051. The end of the lateral movement mechanism 400 is provided with a guide sleeve 6053 that slides with the guide rods 6052, allowing the clamping arms 6051 to slide within the guide sleeves 6053 via the guide rods 6052. This adjusts the opening size of the two clamping arms 6051 to ensure the photovoltaic module package 700 is clamped securely. Simultaneously, a limiting plate 6054 is connected to the end of the adjusting guide rod 6052 facing away from the clamping arms 6051 to prevent the guide rod 6052 from dislodging from the guide sleeves 6053. The limit switch assembly 604 may include at least one, that is, one or two limit switch assemblies 604 may be used. The limit switch assembly 604 may include a guide rail 6041 disposed on the lifting mechanism 300 and a limit switch body 6044 that can slide along the guide rail 6041. Thus, the limit switch body 6044 can slide along the guide rail 6041 to adapt to the adjustment of the loading position of photovoltaic modules of different sizes. When one limit switch assembly 604 is used, the limit switch assembly 604 can be disposed at either end of the transverse mechanism 400, so that the limit switch body 6044 of the limit switch assembly 604 can contact the limiting plate 6054 of the clamping arm assembly 605 at the corresponding end to ensure that the photovoltaic module package 700 is placed in the target position. Of course, two limit switch assemblies 604 can also be used, and the two limit switch assemblies 604 can be respectively set at both ends of the transverse mechanism 400, so that the limit switch body 6044 of each limit switch assembly 604 can contact the limiting plate 6054 of the corresponding end clamping arm assembly 605 to ensure that the photovoltaic module package 700 is placed in the target position.

[0077] When feeding materials, such as Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, first adjust the opening of the two clamping arms 6051 to the maximum position, and use the fork arm mechanism 500 to lift the photovoltaic module pack 700. Then adjust the two clamping arms 6051 to make them fit tightly against the two sides of the photovoltaic module pack 700, i.e., the short side of each photovoltaic module. At the same time, the limiting plate 6054 moves towards the side closer to the limit switch body 6044 under the drive of the guide rod 6052. At this time, it can be determined whether the photovoltaic module pack 700 is placed in the target position by whether the limiting plate 6054 at the end of the guide rod 6052 contacts the limit switch body 6044. When the limiting plate 6054 at the end of the guide rod 6052 contacts the signal end of the limit switch body 6044, the photovoltaic module pack 700 is at the target position, and there is no need for the horizontal movement mechanism 400 to drive the photovoltaic module pack 700 to perform horizontal adjustment. When the limiting plate 6054 at the end of the guide rod 6052 does not contact the signal end of the limit switch body 6044, there is a deviation between the photovoltaic module pack 700 and the target position. The horizontal movement mechanism 400 can be used to drive the photovoltaic module pack 700 to perform horizontal adjustment until the limiting plate 6054 at the end of the guide rod 6052 contacts the signal end of the limit switch body 6044, so that the photovoltaic module pack 700 moves to the target position.

[0078] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, mounting end plates are provided at both ends of the transverse frame 401, and mounting holes for the guide rod 6052 to pass through are provided on the mounting plates. The guide sleeve 6053 can be provided on the side of the mounting plate near the transverse frame 401 and located at the mounting hole, so that one end of the guide rod 6052 can pass through the mounting hole and the guide sleeve 6053 in sequence and be connected to the limiting plate 6054 to prevent the guide rod 6052 from coming out of the mounting hole and the guide sleeve 6053. The other end of the guide rod 6052 can be connected to the clamping arm 6051, so that the guide rod 6052 can slide along the guide sleeve 6053 to adjust the opening size of the two clamping arms 6051. To ensure the stability of the clamping arm 6051 adjustment, multiple guide rods 6052 can be used to connect each clamping arm 6051; that is, two, three, or more guide rods 6052 can be used. The mounting holes and guide sleeves 6053 on the mounting plate are adapted to the guide rods 6052, meaning each guide rod 6052 corresponds to one mounting hole and one guide sleeve 6053. A connecting plate can also be provided on the clamping arm 6051 to connect and fix it to multiple guide rods 6052. Furthermore, to lock the opening of the clamping arm 6051 and ensure the stability of the clamping action, a locking mechanism is provided on the side of the mounting plate near the clamping arm 6051. Each guide rod 6052 can also be equipped with a locking mechanism to prevent the sliding of each guide rod 6052. Optionally, the locking mechanism may include a clamping block and a locking handle fixed to the mounting plate, and the guide rod 6052 may pass through the clamping block to lock the clamping block by the locking handle, thereby enabling the sliding of the locking guide rod 6052. The locking handle may be connected to the clamping block via a cam mechanism, so that the clamping action of the clamping block can be achieved by adjusting the locking handle.

[0079] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the guide rail 6041 of the limit switch assembly 604 is fixed at both ends to the lifting beam at the bottom of the lifting frame 301 via guide rail fixing seats 6042. A slider 6043 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 6041, and the limit switch body 6044 and the slider 6043 are connected and fixed via bolts or other fasteners. This allows the slider 6043 to slide along the guide rail 6041, thereby driving the limit switch body 6044 to slide horizontally along the guide rail 6041 to adjust the loading position of photovoltaic modules of different sizes. Optionally, the guide rail 6041 can have a rectangular cross-section, and the slider 6043 can have a rectangular hole adapted to the guide rail 6041 to restrict the rotation of the slider 6043. Meanwhile, a locking hole 6045 can be provided on the top of the slider 6043 to lock the slider 6043 and the guide rail 6041. The locking screw can be threaded into the locking hole 6045 and press against the guide rail 6041 to lock the slider 6043 and the guide rail 6041 to ensure the stability of the limit switch body 6044.

[0080] In the above embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 13 As shown, the fork arm mechanism 500 may include two fork arms 501, which can lift the photovoltaic module package 700. At the same time, the fork arms 501 can be attached to the transverse frame 401, and the distance between the two fork arms 501 can be adjusted according to the size of the photovoltaic module to ensure the stability of supporting the photovoltaic module package 700.
