[0035] The utility model provides a kind of adjustable support.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 In an embodiment of the utility model, the adjustable support 300 is applied to photovoltaic panel, comprising:

[0037] Support arm 31 is arranged in photovoltaic panel;

[0038] Butt joint 32 is movably connected with support arm 31, and is connected with photovoltaic panel;

[0039] Adjusting part 33 is connected with support arm 31, and the end of adjusting part 33 close to butt joint 32 is provided with abutting inclined surface 340, abutting inclined surface 340 is inclined to extend in the direction away from butt joint 32 in the extension direction of adjustable support 300, and is inclined to extend in the direction away from photovoltaic panel, abutting inclined surface 340 is slidably connected with butt joint 32, so as to adjust the inclination angle between the plane where support arm 31 is located and the plane where photovoltaic panel is located.

[0040] The utility model discloses a technical scheme, through the abutment inclined surface 340 on the adjusting piece 33 and the sliding abutment of abutting connecting piece 32 change angle, namely, the abutment inclined surface 340 and the position of abutting between abutting connecting piece 32 are different, the inclination angle of photovoltaic board is different accordingly.The abutment inclined surface 340 and abutting connecting piece 32 slide abutment.Can dynamically adapt to different inclination angle demand, ensure the flexibility and continuity of the adjustment process.The abutment inclined surface 340 not only plays the role of adjusting angle, but also can guide the movement of abutting connecting piece 32 in the adjustment process, ensure the stability of the adjustment action, reduce the structural damage caused by shaking or jamming.Adjustable support 300 can adjust the inclination angle of photovoltaic board according to the actual installation environment of photovoltaic board, so that photovoltaic board can maintain good illumination condition in different seasons and different installation sites, further improve its power generation performance in various environments.In the actual installation process, the terrain of installation site, the shelter of building and other factors can limit the installation angle of photovoltaic board.The existence of adjustable support 300 makes photovoltaic board can flexibly adjust the angle within a certain range to adapt to different installation environments, even in some irregular or limited space, can also find suitable angle to install photovoltaic board, expand the application range of photovoltaic board.

That is, when the abutting position between the abutment inclined surface 340 and the abutting connecting piece 32 changes, the abutting connecting piece 32 will rotate relative to the support horizontal rod 312, and then drive the rotation of the photovoltaic board connected with the abutting connecting piece 32, so as to change the inclination angle of the photovoltaic board. Further, the support horizontal rod 312 and the support vertical rod 311 are fixedly installed through the clamping piece 313, so as to facilitate the installation of the adjusting piece 33 on the support horizontal rod 312. In other embodiments, the support horizontal rod 312 and the support vertical rod 311 can be integrally formed, the support horizontal rod 312 includes a first rod segment and a second rod segment, the first rod segment and the second rod segment have an installation gap therebetween, and the adjusting piece 33 is located in the installation gap and connects the first rod segment and the second rod segment.

[0042] It can be understood that when the inclination angle between the plane where the photovoltaic panel is located and the plane where the support arm 31 is located is reduced, the abutting inclined surface 340 is slid to the direction close to the abutting connecting piece 32, so that the abutting connecting piece 32 is rotated to the direction close to the support arm 31 under the pushing of the abutting inclined surface 340, thereby realizing the reduction of the inclination angle between the plane where the photovoltaic panel is located and the plane where the support arm 31 is located; when the inclination angle between the plane where the photovoltaic panel is located and the plane where the support arm 31 is located is increased, the abutting inclined surface 340 is moved to the direction away from the abutting connecting piece 32, so that the abutting connecting piece is rotated to the direction away from the support arm 31 to realize the movement between the abutting inclined surface 340, thereby realizing the increase of the inclination angle between the plane where the photovoltaic panel is located and the plane where the support arm 31 is located.

The elastic member 338 is arranged between the fixing block 331 and the mounting plate segment 341, and has an elastic potential energy for moving the fixing block 331 and the connecting pad 339 away from each other. That is, when the inclination angle between the plane where the photovoltaic panel is located and the plane where the bracket arm 31 is located is reduced, the hand screw 335 overcomes the elastic potential energy of the elastic member 338 to work, so that the mounting plate segment 341 presses the elastic member 338, and the abutting inclined surface 340 slides towards the abutting connecting member 32. When the inclination angle between the plane where the photovoltaic panel is located and the plane where the bracket arm 31 is located is increased, part of the structure of the hand screw 335 is screwed out of the bolt hole 337. At this time, the elastic potential energy of the elastic member 338 is reduced to press the mounting plate segment 341 and the hand screw 335, and the abutting inclined surface 340 slides away from the abutting connecting member 32. The threaded connection design of the hand screw 335 and the fixing block 331 makes the adjusting process more accurate. The user can fine-tune the position of the connecting pad 339 by manually rotating the hand screw 335, so as to realize accurate control of the angle of the photovoltaic panel.

Further, a special-shaped hole 333 is arranged on the fixing block 331, and the cross-sectional shape of the bracket cross bar 312 is special-shaped, so as to be adapted to the special-shaped hole 333 on the fixing block 331, so that the fixing block 331 cannot rotate relative to the bracket cross bar 312. Further, the elastic member 338 is configured as a spring. Further, the cross-sectional shape of the special-shaped hole 333 and the cross-sectional shape of the bracket cross bar 312 are both regular hexagons. Further, the hand screw 335 comprises a hand screw nut 336 and a bolt 337, and the hand screw nut 336 is screwed with the bolt 337 to drive the bolt 337 to rotate in the threaded hole 332. In other embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the special-shaped hole 333 and the cross-sectional shape of the bracket cross bar 312 can be other patterns, such as quadrilaterals, triangles, etc.

[0044] In an embodiment, the fixed block 331 is provided with a scale mark 334 on the side away from the photovoltaic panel, and the connecting pad is provided with a display opening 342 corresponding to the scale mark 334 to expose the scale mark 334. In the extension direction of the support vertical rod 311, the middle of the display opening 342 is provided with an indication mark 343 to indicate the included angle between the current photovoltaic panel and the placement plane. In other embodiments, the scale mark 334 can also not be provided.

[0045] In an embodiment, the abutting connecting piece 32 includes a first connecting block 321 and two second connecting blocks 322 provided at opposite ends of the first connecting block 321. The first connecting block 321 and the second connecting block 322 are connected with the photovoltaic panel. The second connecting block 322 is rotationally connected with the support horizontal rod 312 and encloses a connecting gap 323 with the first connecting block 321. The support horizontal rod 312 penetrates the connecting gap 323. The adjusting piece 33 is connected with the support horizontal rod 312 by extending into the connecting gap 323.
