[0002] Solar energy is a renewable energy source, referring to the thermal radiation energy of the sun, mainly manifested as sunlight. It is generated by the release of enormous nuclear energy through the hydrogen-helium fusion of hydrogen atoms inside the sun, and is a new type of renewable energy.

[0003] Currently, most solar modules are installed at fixed angles and orientations. However, as the angle of sunlight changes, the photovoltaic panel's ability to absorb light decreases. In other words, its performance can only maximize power generation when the sunlight is strong and the angle is precise. The peak power generation period is short, which reduces energy recovery efficiency. To address this, a solar module concentrating structure is proposed.

[0004] The information disclosed in this background section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the background technology of this application, and therefore may include prior art that is not known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a concentrating structure for a solar module to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: It includes a frame, with extension frames connected to each of the four corners of the frame.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: It includes a frame 1, with extension frames 2 connected to each of the four corners of the frame 1. Support rods 3 are connected to the tops of the two rear extension frames 2, and light-catching plates 4 are rotatably mounted on the tops of the support rods 3. Multiple sets of light-collecting units 5 are connected to the bottom of the light-catching plates 4. Light-refracting frames 6 are connected to all four sides of the light-catching plates 4, and reflective layers 7 are connected to the inner sides of each light-refracting frame 6. Air cylinders 8 are connected to the tops of the two front extension frames 2, and a first movable element is slidably mounted inside each air cylinder 8. The piston 9 has a push rod 10 connected to its top end, and a connector 11 connected to its top end. The bottom sides of the light-catching plate 4 are connected to guide rails 12, and the connector 11 is slidably connected to the guide rails 12. A buffer spring 13 is connected to the bottom of the air cylinder 8. An air tank 14 is connected directly below the extension frame 2 located below the air cylinder 8. An electric push rod 15 is connected to the bottom of the air tank 14. The output end of the electric push rod 15 extends through into the air tank 14 and is connected to a second piston 16.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 As shown in the enlarged portion, guide rods are connected to both sides of the connector 11, and sliding grooves are opened on the inner side of the guide rail 12. The guide rods extend into the sliding grooves. When the top rod 10 is pushed upward, the connector 11 will slide along the guide rail 12 through the guide rods, thereby lifting the light-catching plate 4 and ensuring the support effect.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the top of the light-refraction frame 6 is arc-shaped, and the top of the reflective layer 7 is also arc-shaped, which can collect light over a wider range and refract the light towards the light-catching plate 4, thereby increasing the light collection. The top of the light-catching plate 4 has a light-transmitting hole corresponding to the inner reflective tube frame 51. The light-catching plate 4 is made of transparent material, so it will not affect the light-receiving effect of the photovoltaic panel below while collecting and capturing light.

[0026] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the light-collecting unit 5 includes an inner reflector frame 51 fixedly mounted at the bottom of the light-catching plate 4. A movable reflector frame 52 is rotatably mounted on one side of the inner reflector frame 51. The bottom end of the inner reflector frame 51 is inclined, and a side lug 53 is connected to one side. A diffuser convex lens 54 is rotatably mounted between the side lugs 53. The inner wall of the 51 is a reflective surface. After the light enters the inner reflector frame 51, it is refracted to the top surface of the diffuser convex lens 54 and evenly diffused through the convex surface at the bottom end of the diffuser convex lens 54, illuminating the photovoltaic panel below. The inner reflector frame 51 changes its angle as the light-catching plate 4 rotates, while the diffuser convex lens 54 remains horizontal through rotation, ensuring that the light can illuminate the surface of the photovoltaic panel well. At the same time, the movable reflector frame 52 on one side is also in a vertical state to prevent light from overflowing, so that the light is always inside the inner reflector frame 51 and refracted on the top surface of the diffuser convex lens 54.

[0027] Reference Figure 4 As shown, a photovoltaic panel frame 111 is connected to the inner side of the frame 1. Positioning brackets 101 are connected to the four corners of the bottom of the frame 1, and a side bracket 102 is connected to the middle position. The frame 1 can be covered on the top surface of the photovoltaic panel by the positioning brackets 101 and the side brackets 102. The positioning brackets 101 hold the four corners of the photovoltaic panel, and the side brackets 102 hold the sides of the photovoltaic panel to prevent displacement and ensure connection stability. The photovoltaic panel frame 111 can leave the light-receiving surface of the photovoltaic panel open to ensure the basic use effect of the photovoltaic panel. The two corners of the frame 1 near the gas storage tank 14 are provided with incised arc surfaces 103.

[0028] Reference Figure 2As shown, the bottom end of the extension frame 2 located below the gas cylinder 8 is connected to a connecting pipe, and a valve is connected to the middle end of the connecting pipe. The gas storage tank 14 is threadedly connected to the connecting pipe and communicates with the gas cylinder 8 through the connecting pipe. The gas storage tank 14 is filled with either hydrogen or helium, and its outer surface is coated with a black coating. During use, the black coating on the surface of the gas storage tank 14 absorbs heat, causing the internal gas to expand. The valve of the connecting pipe can be opened to allow the expanded gas to enter the gas cylinder 8, pushing the first piston 9 upward. This, in turn, pushes one side of the light-catching plate 4 upward through the push rod 10, allowing more light to directly irradiate the photovoltaic panel. If it is necessary to continue pushing the first piston 9, the electric push rod 15 can push the second piston 16 to compress the internal gas and further push the first piston 9. In the absence of light, when the internal gas contracts, the electric push rod 15 drives the second piston 16 to draw the gas in the gas cylinder 8 back into the gas storage tank 14 for the next use.

[0029] The implementation principle of this application is as follows: When in use, the frame 1 is installed on the photovoltaic panel by the positioning bracket 101 and the side bracket 102. The photovoltaic panel frame 111 can further increase the connectivity without affecting the light-receiving effect of the photovoltaic panel. By setting the electric push rod 15 and the second piston 16, the gas in the gas storage tank 14 can be pushed out and squeezed into the gas cylinder 8, thereby pushing the top rod 10 through the first piston 9 to open the light-catching plate 4. On the one hand, the light-concentrating angle can be adjusted, and on the other hand, the light-receiving effect of the photovoltaic panel located below can be guaranteed. The buffer spring 13 can act as a buffer bracket when the first piston 9 is reset. The reflective layer 7 on one side of the light-refracting frame 6 can collect and refract light from more directions onto the surface of the light-catching plate 4. After the light enters the light-collecting unit 5, it is emitted from directly above the photovoltaic panel. Even when the sunlight no longer shines directly on the photovoltaic panel or is in a backlit state, the light-collecting unit 5 can still refract the light and project it from directly above the photovoltaic panel, further achieving the effect of light concentration.
