Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic panel installation technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic panel installation platform. Background Technology
[0002] When installing photovoltaic (PV) panels, they must be mounted onto PV panel mounting brackets. The installation height of PV panels is typically two to five meters, requiring installers to use climbing equipment. Some technologies use scaffolding as a climbing device, but this needs to be dismantled after installation, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Other technologies use PV panel mounting platforms as climbing devices, but these have several drawbacks. First, they cannot accommodate multiple teams working simultaneously, resulting in low efficiency. Second, mobile equipment cannot avoid the PV panel mounting brackets when moving to the next work location, restricting movement. Finally, their protective capabilities are insufficient, and maintaining balance is difficult, leading to poor safety. Utility Model Content

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a photovoltaic panel installation platform, including a support frame 10 and a multi-layer platform 20. The multi-layer platform 20 is disposed on the support frame 10 and is distributed in a stepped manner. The platform 20 located at the bottom layer includes a fixed part 21 and a movable part 22. The movable part 22 is hinged to the fixed part 21. The movable part 22 can rotate and switch between an extended state and a retracted state. When the movable part 22 is in the extended state, the movable part 22 is parallel to the fixed part 21. When the movable part 22 is in the retracted state, the movable part 22 is perpendicular to the fixed part 21. By setting up multi-layered, stepped platforms 20, multiple groups of operators can stand on platforms 20 at different heights to work simultaneously, improving the installation efficiency of photovoltaic panels. In addition, by setting the lowest platform 20 into two parts, a fixed part 21 and a movable part 22, the movable part 22 can be switched to the extended state when the operator is working, ensuring the operator's working space. The movable part 22 can also be switched to the retracted state when the photovoltaic panel installation platform needs to be moved to the next working position, ensuring that the photovoltaic panel installation platform can avoid the photovoltaic panel installation bracket, thereby ensuring that the photovoltaic panel installation platform can move smoothly.
[0028] Furthermore, the photovoltaic panel installation platform provided in this embodiment also includes a driving component 30, which can at least drive the movable part 22 from the extended state to the retracted state. In this embodiment, the driving component 30 is a gas spring, with its fixed end hinged to the support frame 10 and its driving end hinged to the movable part 22. The gas spring always has a force that keeps the movable part 22 in the retracted state. When the operator needs to stand on the lowest platform 20 to work, the operator only needs to apply a force to the movable part 22 in the direction of the extended state to switch the movable part 22 to the extended state. When the operator removes the force applied to the movable part 22, the movable part 22 will automatically switch to the retracted state under the action of the gas spring. It is easy to operate and has a simple structure. In other embodiments, the driving component 30 can also be an electric push rod, an electric cylinder, or a pneumatic cylinder, etc., and is not limited to this embodiment.
[0029] Furthermore, the photovoltaic panel mounting platform provided in this embodiment also includes an auxiliary connector 40. One end of the auxiliary connector 40 is connected to the support frame 10, and the other end is connected to the movable part 22. The auxiliary connector 40 is configured to provide auxiliary support for the movable part 22 when it is in the unfolded state. By providing the auxiliary connector 40, the gas spring can be used to support the movable part 22, preventing excessive force on the gas spring and improving its service life. It can also prevent the end of the movable part 22 away from the fixed part 21 from falling off when the gas spring fails. Optionally, the auxiliary connector 40 is a chain or rope.
[0030] In this embodiment, there are two driving members 30 and two auxiliary connecting members 40. The two driving members 30 are located on both sides of the movable part 22, and the two auxiliary connecting members 40 are also located on both sides of the movable part 22, so as to provide more stable support for the movable part 22.
[0031] In this embodiment, at least the uppermost platform 20 is surrounded by a protective railing 50 to improve the safety of operators. Optionally, when the number of platforms 20 is less than three, the protective railing 50 may be provided only around the uppermost platform 20; when the number of platforms 20 is three or more, the protective railing 50 may be provided around one, two, or more platforms 20 from the top. The protective railing 50 may provide all-around protection or partial protection. In this embodiment, a ladder structure 60 may be provided on one side of at least one platform 20 to facilitate operators climbing onto the platform 20.
[0032] In this embodiment, the number of platforms 20 is three layers. Of course, the number of platforms 20 can be less than three layers or more than three layers, depending on the height of the photovoltaic panel mounting bracket, and is not limited to this embodiment.
[0033] The photovoltaic panel installation platform provided in this embodiment also includes a counterweight 70, which is connected to the support frame 10 and located on the side of the support frame 10 away from the multi-layer platform 20. By setting the counterweight 70, the balance of the photovoltaic panel installation platform can be improved, preventing the photovoltaic panel installation platform from tipping over.
[0034] Furthermore, the photovoltaic panel installation platform provided in this embodiment also includes a bracket 80, which is connected to the support frame 10. A counterweight 70 is disposed on the bracket 80, and the bracket 80 is used to connect to a mobile device for moving the photovoltaic panel installation platform. By setting up the bracket 80, it is convenient to install the counterweight 70 on the one hand, and convenient for the mobile device to move the photovoltaic panel installation platform on the other hand. Optionally, the bracket 80 includes a bracket body 81 and two main components 82. One end of the bracket body 81 is connected to the support frame 10, and the other end is used to support the counterweight 70. The two main components 82 are both disposed on the bracket body 81 and are spaced apart along the length direction of the bracket body 81. The main components 82 are provided with hooks 822 and connecting holes 821, which are used to connect to the mobile device, facilitating quick assembly and disassembly between the bracket 80 and the mobile device, and facilitating maintenance. The bracket 80 also includes a first reinforcing member 83 and a second reinforcing member 84. The first reinforcing member 83 is connected between the two main board members 82, and the second reinforcing member 84 is connected between the main board members 82 and the bracket body 81 to improve the structural strength of the bracket 80.
[0035] The photovoltaic panel installation platform provided in this embodiment also includes a control console 91, which is mounted on the support frame 10. The control console 91 is communicatively connected to the mobile device of the mobile photovoltaic panel installation platform, and can control the movement direction and speed of the mobile device.
