Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of photovoltaic support technology, specifically relating to a support structure that facilitates the replacement of photovoltaic panels. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in photovoltaic power generation systems, the installation of photovoltaic panels mainly relies on metal bracket structures, and the photovoltaic panels are fixed to the brackets by screws. Although this fixing method has good stability, it is inefficient for later maintenance and replacement. Disassembling and installing photovoltaic panels requires loosening each screw individually, which is cumbersome and time-consuming. Especially in large-scale photovoltaic power plants, maintenance costs are high, and repeated tightening of screws can easily reduce the tightening effect. Therefore, this utility model proposes a bracket structure that facilitates the replacement of photovoltaic panels. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a support structure that facilitates the replacement of photovoltaic panels, thereby solving the aforementioned technical problems.

[0004] The specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] This utility model provides a bracket structure for easy replacement of photovoltaic panels, including a photovoltaic panel body, telescopic legs, fixed legs, a horizontal support plate, and fastening components. The horizontal support plate is H-shaped, the photovoltaic panel body is mounted on the horizontal support plate, and the fastening components are disposed on the horizontal support plate for fixing the photovoltaic panel body.

[0006] The transverse support plate is detachably mounted on the longitudinal diagonal brace plate, and the two sides of the longitudinal diagonal brace plate are rotatably connected to the upper ends of the fixed support leg and the telescopic support leg respectively through hinges.

[0007] The fastening assembly includes a threaded tube, two side clamp assemblies, and a translation plate. The threaded tube is located below the transverse support plate, and the two side clamp assemblies are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the threaded tube.

[0008] The bottom of the frame of the photovoltaic panel body is fixed with a pre-installed plate by screws. The outer wall of the threaded tube is provided with spiral patterns and is threaded with the translation plate. The translation plate is set below the bottom of the longitudinal brace plate, and there are insert plates fixed on both sides of it. The insert plates are sleeved with the insert holes opened on the lower side of the pre-installed plate.

[0009] The aforementioned bracket structure facilitates photovoltaic panel replacement. When disassembly and replacement are required, the threaded tube on the fastening assembly is rotated in the reverse direction. This rotation pushes the screws on the two side clamping assemblies, causing the screws to move the side clamping plates away from the photovoltaic panel body. This releases the clamping on one side of the photovoltaic panel body. Simultaneously, the rotating threaded tube moves the translation plate away from the pre-rotation plate, causing the inserting plate to move and disengage from the inserting plate on the pre-installation plate. The inserting plate also disengages from the bottom surface of the horizontal support plate, freeing the photovoltaic panel body. The pre-installation plate is then placed on the horizontal support plate, and the threaded tube is rotated in the forward direction to clamp the replacement photovoltaic panel body with the translation plate and the side clamping assemblies. This allows for convenient disassembly and installation of the photovoltaic panel body, improving its application effect.

[0010] Preferably, the side clamp assembly includes a top clamping plate, a tensioning plate, a fastening bolt, and a side clamping plate. The fastening bolt passes through the top clamping plate and the tensioning plate, and both have opposing concave structures on their upper sides. The concave structures are embedded in the groove of the transverse support plate, and the top clamping plate and the tensioning plate are tightened to fit tightly against the transverse support plate by the fastening bolt.

[0011] Preferably, a screw is movably passed through the lower side of the top clamping plate and the tensioning plate. One end of the screw is threaded into the inner wall of the threaded tube, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side clamping plate. The side clamping plate is pressed against the side of the photovoltaic panel body, and a vertical pressing edge is provided on its upper side.

[0012] Preferably, the lower side of the top plate is integrally formed with a flange for supporting the tensioning plate.

[0013] Preferably, the outer wall of the threaded tube is fixedly provided with two wall retaining strips.

[0014] Preferably, the insert plate is inverted L-shaped, and its top surface is offset from the bottom surface of the transverse support plate;

[0015] The length of the pre-installed plate is greater than the sum of the thicknesses of the transverse support plate and the insert plate.

[0016] The beneficial effects are:

[0017] Through the cooperation of the fastening assembly and the edge clamp assembly, when the threaded tube on the fastening assembly is rotated and adjusted, it can drive the insert plate on the sliding plate to move, so that it engages with the insert hole, thereby locking the insert plate against the pre-installed plate and the horizontal support plate at the bottom of the photovoltaic panel. At the same time, driven by the threaded tube, the edge clamp assembly moves the edge clamp plate laterally through the screw, pressing it against the side of the photovoltaic panel and further pressing the photovoltaic panel through the pressing edge. When the photovoltaic panel needs to be replaced later, simply rotate the threaded tube in the opposite direction to simultaneously release the fastening restriction on the photovoltaic panel by rotating the sliding plate and the edge clamp assembly, thereby realizing the quick disassembly and replacement of the photovoltaic panel.

[0024] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a bracket structure for easy replacement of photovoltaic panels includes a photovoltaic panel body 1, telescopic legs 5, fixed legs 6, a horizontal support plate 3, and a fastening assembly 2. The horizontal support plate 3 is H-shaped, the photovoltaic panel body 1 is installed on the horizontal support plate 3, and the fastening assembly 2 is set on the horizontal support plate 3 for fixing the photovoltaic panel body 1.

[0026] The transverse support plate 3 is detachably installed on the longitudinal diagonal brace plate 4. The two sides of the longitudinal diagonal brace plate 4 are rotatably connected to the upper ends of the fixed support leg 6 and the telescopic support leg 5 respectively through hinges.

[0027] The fastening assembly 2 includes a threaded tube 21, two side clamp assemblies 22, and a translation plate 23. The threaded tube 21 is located below the transverse support plate 3, and the two side clamp assemblies 22 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the threaded tube 21.

[0028] The bottom of the frame of the photovoltaic panel body 1 is fixed with a pre-installed plate 25 by screws. The outer wall of the threaded tube 21 is provided with spiral patterns and is threadedly engaged with the translation plate 23. The translation plate 23 is set below the bottom of the longitudinal bracing plate 4, and the two sides are fixed with insert plates 24. The insert plates 24 are engaged with the insert holes 25a opened on the lower side of the pre-installed plate 25.

[0029] As an optional implementation, the side clamp assembly 22 includes a top clamping plate 22a, a tensioning plate 22b, a fastening bolt 22c, and a side clamping plate 22e. The fastening bolt 22c passes through the top clamping plate 22a and the tensioning plate 22b. Both have opposing concave structures on their upper sides. The concave structures are embedded in the groove of the transverse support plate 3. The top clamping plate 22a and the tensioning plate 22b are tightened by the fastening bolt 22c to make them fit tightly against the transverse support plate 3. This facilitates assembly during installation and fixes them to the transverse support plate 3.

[0030] See attached document Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 A screw 22d is movably passed through the lower side of the top clamping plate 22a and the tensioning plate 22b. One end of the screw 22d is threaded into the inner wall of the threaded tube 21, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side clamping plate 22e. The side clamping plate 22e is pressed against the side of the photovoltaic panel body 1. A vertical pressing edge is provided on its upper side, so that the flange can press the photovoltaic panel body 1, improving the pressing and fixing effect after the photovoltaic panel is clamped on one side.

[0031] Furthermore, the lower side of the top plate 22a is integrally formed with a flange for supporting the tension plate 22b. This allows the flange to abut against the lower side of the clamping plate after the fastening bolt 22c is tightened to the top plate 22a and the tension plate 22b, thereby cooperating with the upper side of the top plate 22a and the tension plate 22b to form a fixed effect of clamping onto the transverse support plate 3.

[0032] Furthermore, two wall retaining strips 21a are fixedly provided on the outer wall of the threaded tube 21, which facilitates the rotation adjustment of the threaded tube 21 by means of tools and improves the rotation assistance effect.

[0033] Furthermore, the insert plate 24 is inverted L-shaped, and its top surface is offset from the bottom surface of the transverse support plate 3;

[0034] Furthermore, the length of the pre-installed plate 25 is greater than the sum of the thicknesses of the transverse support plate 3 and the insert plate 24. This allows the upper vertical edge of the insert plate 24 to be fitted with the insert hole 25a and the insert plate 24 to be located on the bottom surface of the transverse support plate 3, thereby forming a locking and braking effect on the pre-installed plate 25 and improving the tensioning effect of the photovoltaic panel body 1.

[0035] With the above structure, when disassembly and replacement are required, the threaded tube 21 on the fastening assembly 2 is rotated in the reverse direction. This rotation pushes the screws 22d on the two side clamping assemblies 22, causing the screws 22d to move the side clamping plate 22e away from the photovoltaic panel body 1, thereby releasing the clamping on one side of the photovoltaic panel body 1. At the same time, the rotating threaded tube 21 moves the translation plate 23 away from the pre-rotation plate, thereby moving the inserting plate 24 away from the inserting plate 24 on the pre-installation plate 25. Simultaneously, the inserting plate 24 also detaches from the bottom surface of the transverse support plate 3, thus freeing the photovoltaic panel body 1. The pre-installation plate 25 is then placed on the transverse support plate 3, and the threaded tube 21 is rotated in the forward direction to clamp the translation plate 23 and the side clamping assembly 22 onto the replaced photovoltaic panel body 1. This allows for convenient disassembly and installation of the photovoltaic panel body 1, improving its application effect.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. All standard parts used in this application can be purchased from the market, and can be customized according to the description and drawings.

Furthermore, this application is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail here.
