Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic power generation equipment technology, specifically a photovoltaic panel mounting bracket for iron towers. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic systems are mainly divided into two technical solutions: off-grid and grid-connected. Due to the large-scale installation requirements of photovoltaic arrays, traditional ground-mounted solutions suffer from large land area requirements and high infrastructure construction costs. Current mainstream technology utilizes the height of existing tower structures, integrating photovoltaic modules into the vertical facade of the tower to create a space-efficient solution: during the day, the photovoltaic modules convert solar energy and charge the energy storage system; at night, the energy storage device continuously supplies power to the tower equipment.

[0003] However, actual operational data shows that this scheme has problems. Due to the influence of seasonal changes and variations in the solar declination angle on the vertical plane of the tower, its irradiance exhibits significant spatiotemporal differences. The current fixed installation mode causes a continuous deviation between the component tilt angle and the solar incidence angle, resulting in large fluctuations in the effective power generation time throughout the year.

[0004] The existing fixed installation structure generates two significant negative effects: firstly, the annual effective irradiance loss on the module surface is approximately 18%, resulting in a photovoltaic array energy capture efficiency lower than theoretically expected; secondly, the energy storage system operates in an unbalanced charge-discharge state for extended periods, leading to a shortened cycle life of the lithium battery pack. These issues severely restrict the large-scale application of tower-based photovoltaic systems, particularly in scenarios such as 5G base stations where day-night power supply stability requirements are stringent. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a photovoltaic panel mounting bracket for iron towers.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A photovoltaic panel mounting bracket for a steel tower includes a support plate, one side of which is connected to a photovoltaic panel, and the other side is connected to a mounting assembly. The mounting assembly can be connected to the steel tower. The mounting assembly includes a fixing plate. Both the support plate and the fixing plate have intermediate shaft holes. An intermediate shaft passes through the intermediate shaft holes and rotatably connects the support plate and the fixing plate. The support plate has a plurality of first positioning holes, which are arranged in a circular array around the intermediate shaft holes. The fixing plate has at least one second positioning hole, which can be coaxially matched with the first positioning holes. A positioning bolt passes through the second positioning hole and the first positioning hole to fix the relative position of the support plate and the fixing plate. The positioning bolt is connected to a positioning nut.

[0008] In the above structure, the support plate is rotatably connected to the fixing plate of the mounting component through the intermediate shaft. By matching the second positioning hole with the first positioning hole and locking the positioning bolts, the angle of the support plate can be changed, thereby adjusting the angle of the photovoltaic panel. This ensures that the photovoltaic panel receives sunlight at the optimal angle, meeting the sunlight requirements of different regions and seasons, and providing support for efficient photovoltaic power generation from a hardware perspective.

[0009] The photovoltaic panel mounting bracket for the iron tower also includes a second locking plate. The mounting assembly includes a first locking plate that is fixedly connected to the fixing plate. The first locking plate has an L-shaped structure. The second locking plate has the same shape as the first locking plate. The second locking plate and the first locking plate clamp the iron tower between them. The first locking plate is fixedly connected to the second locking plate by fixing bolts.

[0010] Both the first and second locking plates have fixing holes, and the fixing bolts pass through the fixing holes and are connected to the fixing nuts.

[0011] During installation, this utility model is connected to a column or beam of the iron tower. The above structure can adapt to iron tower columns or beams of different thicknesses. Specifically, the second locking plate and the first locking plate clamp the iron tower column or beam between them. Even if different iron tower columns and beams have different thicknesses, the second locking plate and the first locking plate can still cooperate and connect. Both the first locking plate and the second locking plate adopt an L-shaped structure, which is not only suitable for plate-shaped columns and beams, but also adaptable to angle iron-shaped columns and beams.

[0012] The fixing holes are elongated holes, and multiple fixing holes are evenly distributed, with multiple fixing holes distributed on both sides of the first locking plate and the second locking plate.

[0013] The above-described structure allows the second locking plate and the first locking plate to be connected to columns or beams of different widths. When connecting to a wider column or beam, the fixing bolts can be connected to the fixing holes on the outside.

[0014] The fixing plate and the first locking plate are an integral structure.

[0015] The support plate and the photovoltaic panel are fixedly connected by bolts.

[0016] The support plate and mounting components are provided in one or more sets to accommodate photovoltaic panels of different lengths.

[0017] The beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are:

[0018] The angle adjustment function of photovoltaic panels is a core design feature for improving power generation efficiency. This invention utilizes the connection design of the support plate and mounting components to ensure that the photovoltaic panels can be adjusted to the optimal angle to receive sunlight. This design embodies the concept of "functional adaptation to environment" in mechanical manufacturing, using an adjustable mechanical structure to meet the sunlight requirements of different regions and seasons, providing hardware support for efficient photovoltaic power generation.

[0019] When faced with towers of varying widths, construction workers can select the corresponding fixing holes and secure the connection with bolts. This modular hole design breaks away from the limitations of traditional single-fit supports. By standardizing hole dimensions, it achieves compatibility with different tower widths, reducing production losses from multi-specification supports and improving the flexibility and efficiency of on-site installation. Furthermore, this invention is adaptable to towers of varying thicknesses. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0028] Example:

[0029] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a photovoltaic panel mounting bracket for a steel tower includes a support plate 3. One side of the support plate 3 is connected to a photovoltaic panel 2, and the other side is connected to a mounting assembly. The mounting assembly can be connected to the steel tower 1, specifically to the crossbeams or columns of the steel tower 1, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 One method shown is that the mounting components are connected to the crossbeam of the tower 1. The support plate 3 is fixedly connected to the photovoltaic panel 2 by bolts, which is a conventional method and will not be described in detail.

[0030] The mounting assembly includes a fixing plate 4, a support plate 3, and a fixing plate 4. Both the fixing plate 4 and the support plate 3 have intermediate shaft holes. An intermediate shaft 7 passes through the intermediate shaft holes and rotatably connects the support plate 3 and the fixing plate 4. The support plate 3 has a plurality of first positioning holes 8, which are arranged in a circular array around the intermediate shaft holes. The fixing plate 4 has two second positioning holes 10, which can be coaxially matched with the first positioning holes 8. A positioning bolt 9 passes through the second positioning holes 10 and the first positioning holes 8 to fix the relative position of the support plate 3 and the fixing plate 4. The positioning bolt 9 is connected to a positioning nut 11 for positioning and locking.

[0031] In the above structure, the support plate 3 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 4 of the mounting component through the intermediate shaft 7. The angle of the support plate 3 can be changed by matching the second positioning hole 10 with the first positioning hole 8 and locking the positioning bolt 9, thereby adjusting the angle of the photovoltaic panel 2.

[0032] The photovoltaic panel mounting bracket for the iron tower also includes a second locking plate 6. The mounting assembly includes a first locking plate 5 fixedly connected to the fixing plate 4. The first locking plate 5 has an L-shaped structure, and the second locking plate 6 has the same shape as the first locking plate 5. Figure 2 As shown, the second locking plate 6 and the first locking plate 5 clamp the iron tower 1 between them. Then, the first locking plate 5 is fixedly connected to the second locking plate 6 by fixing bolts 13, so that the second locking plate 6 and the first locking plate 5 are tightly fitted to the crossbeam or column of the iron tower 1.

[0033] During installation, this utility model is connected to one of the columns or beams of the iron tower 1. The above structure can adapt to columns or beams of iron tower 1 with different thicknesses. Specifically, the second locking plate 6 and the first locking plate 5 sandwich the column or beam of iron tower 1 between them. Even if the thickness of different columns and beams of iron tower 1 is different, the second locking plate 6 and the first locking plate 5 can still cooperate and connect. Both the first locking plate 5 and the second locking plate 6 adopt an L-shaped structure, which is not only suitable for plate-shaped columns and beams, but also adaptable to columns and beams with angle iron structures.

[0034] Both the first locking plate 5 and the second locking plate 6 have fixing holes 12. Fixing bolts 13 pass through the fixing holes 12 and are connected to fixing nuts 14. The fixing holes 12 are elongated holes, and multiple fixing holes 12 are evenly distributed on both sides of the first locking plate 5 and the second locking plate 6.

[0035] The above-described structure allows the second locking plate 6 and the first locking plate 5 to be connected to columns or beams of different widths. When connecting to a wider column or beam, the fixing bolt 13 can be connected to the outer fixing hole 12.

[0036] Preferably, the fixing plate 4 and the first locking plate 5 are manufactured as a single piece or welded together as a single structure.

[0037] The support plate 3 and the mounting components are provided in one or more sets to accommodate photovoltaic panels 2 of different lengths.
