Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of outdoor transportation of mounting frames, and specifically relates to a photovoltaic bracket transportation device. Background Technology

[0002] A photovoltaic (PV) mounting bracket is a support structure used to fix PV panels. In construction, these brackets are mostly rigid and typically consist of several straight profiles and connectors that assemble and fix these profiles. PV power plants are often located in mountainous or high-altitude areas with rugged roads. During transportation, the large number and variety of bracket sizes make them highly susceptible to damage from bumps and jostling, leading to component compression, friction, damage to the galvanized layer, and breakage. Currently, containers are commonly used to transport PV brackets, with shock-absorbing materials (such as foam and air cushions) inside the containers to reduce damage and breakage.

[0003] While materials such as foam and air cushions can reduce friction, during long-distance transportation (especially on bumpy mountain roads), the components may experience repeated vibrations that cause the cushioning material to shift or become compressed and fail. The foam and air cushions may also be damaged, ultimately leading to wear and tear and breakage of the galvanized layer. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a photovoltaic support transport device to solve the problem that the protection effect achieved by simply filling containers with shock-absorbing and cushioning materials such as foam and air cushions in the prior art is not good.

[0005] A photovoltaic support transport device according to this solution includes two storage baskets and a pad. The two storage baskets are stacked, and the pad is secured between adjacent storage baskets. Each storage basket includes two parallel support rods and a connector that connects the ends of the two support rods. Adjacent connectors and support rods are connected by a base. Multiple slots are spaced apart along the length of the support rods. The photovoltaic support straddles the two support rods and is confined in the corresponding slot. The contact surface between the slot and the photovoltaic support is provided with shock-absorbing material. The bottom of the support rod at the intersection of the support rod and the photovoltaic support is provided with a strap.

[0006] The working principle of this solution is as follows: The storage basket consists of two parallel support rods and a connector. The support rods are equipped with grooves, and the photovoltaic bracket spans the support rods and is confined in the grooves. The shock-absorbing material on the contact surface of the grooves can reduce friction and vibration impact. The two storage baskets are stacked, and pads are inserted between adjacent storage baskets to form a stable double-layer structure. The pads can distribute the pressure between the layers. The support rods and the photovoltaic brackets are fixed with straps at the intersection to prevent the brackets from shifting or shaking during transportation.

[0007] The beneficial technical effects of this solution are:

[0008] 1. The bracket limiter, combined with shock-absorbing material, reduces lateral sliding and friction of the bracket during transportation, avoids wear of the galvanized layer, and achieves dual protection of positioning and buffering.

[0009] 2. Pad blocks support adjacent storage baskets to prevent component deformation or scattering caused by interlayer compression, and enhance stacking stability.

[0010] 3. Detachable straps facilitate quick loading and unloading, improve loading and unloading efficiency, enhance fixation reliability, and provide flexible use.

[0011] Furthermore, the connector is a telescopic adjustable connector, which allows the distance between the two support rods to increase or decrease. The telescopic structure of the connector allows for adjustment of the distance between the two support rods to accommodate different specifications of photovoltaic bracket lengths. It also allows for adjustment of the contact position between the bracket and the photovoltaic bracket, ensuring that the weight of the photovoltaic bracket is better distributed on the support rods. For example, when supporting an excessively long photovoltaic bracket, the two support rods can be moved closer to the middle of the photovoltaic bracket, nearly dividing it into three equal parts, resulting in a more even distribution of weight. Through flexible adjustment, two such devices can also be used together to further distribute the weight of the photovoltaic bracket and support the ends of the photovoltaic bracket, thus helping to reduce swaying during transportation.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting body includes a solid rod and a sleeve. The solid rod is slidably disposed within the sleeve, and a threaded through hole is formed on the sleeve. A locking screw is threaded into the threaded through hole, with the end of the locking screw pointing towards the solid rod. By tightening the locking screw, the solid rod can be slidable and fixed within the sleeve. The structure is simple and has good stability.

[0013] Furthermore, the connecting body includes a slider and two connecting rods, with the slider slidably connected to both connecting rods simultaneously. This structure is simple and reliable. The slider is slidably connected to both connecting rods, and the overlap length of the two connecting rods can be adjusted by sliding to regulate the distance between the support rods. The sliding connection between the slider and the connecting rods facilitates quick adjustment and is convenient to operate, making it suitable for rapid on-site installation. During transportation, if the bracket slightly shifts due to bumps, the slight sliding of the slider can buffer the impact force and reduce rigid collisions, thus also exhibiting a dynamic self-adaptive effect.

[0014] Furthermore, the slider includes a first slider and a second slider, which are respectively fixedly connected to the end of one of the connecting rods and slidably connected to the other connecting rod. This dual-slider structure ensures synchronous movement of the two support rods, preventing skewing or uneven force during adjustment and improving the overall rigidity of the storage basket.

[0015] Furthermore, the pad has slots on both sides, which respectively engage with the support rods located above and below the pad. The slots secure the pad to the support rods, preventing the pad from sliding or falling off due to vibration during long-distance transportation and ensuring a lasting interlayer cushioning effect.

[0016] Furthermore, the edge of the slot extends beyond the edge of the support rod, and bolt holes are provided on the sidewall of the slot. Bolts are threaded into the bolt holes, and nuts are threaded onto the bolts. This bolt structure forms a rigid limit, ensuring that the support rod cannot disengage from the slot even under severe vibrations, completely solving the problem of pad displacement. This design provides double protection, avoiding interlayer loosening caused by the compression failure of the cushioning material in traditional friction limiting systems, further reducing the risk of package breakage.

[0020] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the connector structure in Example 1;

[0021] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the connector structure in Example 2. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0023] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: solid rod 1, locking screw 2, sleeve 3, threaded through hole 31, base 4, support rod 5, support groove 6, bolt 7, pad 8, bolt hole 81, slot 82, strap 9, connecting rod 10, and slider 11.

[0024] Example 1 is basically as shown in the appendix. Figures 1 to 3 As shown: A photovoltaic support transport device includes two storage baskets and a pad 8. The two storage baskets are stacked, and the pad 8 is inserted between adjacent storage baskets. The storage basket includes two parallel support rods 5 (made of wood) and a telescopic connector that connects the ends of the two support rods 5. Multiple slots 6 are spaced apart along the length of the support rods 5. The photovoltaic support straddles the two support rods 5 and is confined in the corresponding slots 6. The contact surface between the slots 6 and the photovoltaic support is provided with shock-absorbing material. The bottom of the support rod 5 at the intersection with the photovoltaic support is fixed with a strap 9 made of copper wire.

[0025] Adjacent connecting bodies and support rods 5 are connected by square bases 4. Both the connecting bodies and bases 4 are made of steel and are integrally formed or welded. The support rod 5 and base 4 are connected by threads, meaning that the end of the support rod 5 extends into a cylinder with threads on one end, and the base 4 has a corresponding threaded connection hole. Figure 4 As shown, the connecting body includes a solid rod 1 and a sleeve 3. The solid rod 1 is slidably disposed inside the sleeve 3. A threaded through hole 31 is provided on the sleeve 3, and a locking screw 2 is threaded into the threaded through hole 31. The end of the locking screw 2 points towards the solid rod 1. The ends of the solid rod 1 and the sleeve 3 are respectively connected to a base 4.

[0026] The pad 8 is made of stainless steel and has slots 82 on both sides, which are respectively engaged with the support rods 5 located above and below the pad 8. The edge of the slot 82 extends beyond the edge of the support rod 5. The side wall of the slot 82 has bolt holes 81, and bolts 7 are threaded into the bolt holes 81. Nuts are threaded into the bolts 7.

[0027] The storage basket consists of two parallel support rods 5 and a connector. The support rods 5 are provided with grooves 6. The photovoltaic bracket spans the support rods 5 and is limited in the grooves 6. The shock-absorbing material on the contact surface of the grooves 6 can reduce friction and vibration impact. The two storage baskets are stacked, and the pads 8 are inserted between the adjacent storage baskets to form a stable double-layer structure. The pads 8 can distribute the pressure between the layers. The support rods 5 and the photovoltaic bracket are fixed by straps 9 at the intersection to prevent the bracket from shifting or shaking during transportation.

[0028] The connector adopts a telescopic structure, which can adjust the distance between the two support rods 5. In this solution, the solid rod 1 can be slid and fixed in the sleeve 3 by tightening the locking screw 2. It can adapt to the length of photovoltaic brackets of different specifications and can also adjust the contact position between the bracket 6 and the photovoltaic bracket, so that the weight of the photovoltaic bracket can be better distributed on the support rods 5. For example, when supporting an excessively long photovoltaic bracket, the two support rods 5 can be moved closer to the middle of the photovoltaic bracket, almost dividing the photovoltaic bracket into three equal parts, so that the weight distribution is nearly balanced. Through flexible adjustment, two such devices can also be used together to distribute the weight of the photovoltaic bracket and lift the ends of the photovoltaic bracket, which also helps to reduce swaying during transportation.

[0029] The slot 82 secures the pad 8 to the support rod 5, and the bolt 7 structure forms a rigid limit, ensuring that the support rod 5 cannot detach from the slot 82 even under severe vibrations, thus completely solving the problem of pad 8 displacement. This design provides double protection, avoiding interlayer loosening caused by the compression failure of the cushioning material in traditional friction limiting, further reducing the risk of scattering, and ensuring the long-lasting interlayer cushioning effect.

[0030] Example 2 differs from Example 1 in that the connecting body includes a slider 11 made of stainless steel and two connecting rods 10, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the slider 11 has two sliding holes, allowing it to slide simultaneously onto the two connecting rods 10. The slider 11 includes a first slider 11 and a second slider 11, which are respectively fixedly connected to the end of one of the connecting rods 10 and slidably connected to the other connecting rod 10.
