Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of photovoltaic panel installation technology, and in particular relates to a photovoltaic panel installation structure. Background Technology

[0002] Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels are a mature commercial product. A PV panel is a power generation device that generates direct current (DC) electricity under sunlight. The panels can be interconnected to generate more electricity to provide lighting or even power the grid. However, heating in winter and air conditioning in summer consume more electricity, resulting in higher electricity bills for residents. Therefore, there is a broad market demand for making full use of solar power to provide lighting, heating, and air conditioning services for residents.

[0003] The existing photovoltaic panel installation process requires manual alignment with the mounting frame and fixation with screws, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Moreover, the screws are prone to rust and falling off after long-term use, making the photovoltaic panel prone to shaking and having poor stability. Therefore, a photovoltaic panel installation structure is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a photovoltaic panel installation structure to solve existing problems.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model relates to a photovoltaic panel mounting structure, comprising a support column and a mounting platform. An mounting plate is provided on the upper surface of the mounting platform, and a rotating shaft is inserted within the mounting plate. A first sliding groove is symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the mounting plate, and a rack is slidably connected within the first sliding groove. Fixing blocks are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first sliding groove on the upper surface of the mounting plate. A second sliding groove is formed on one side of each fixing block. A gear is fitted onto the top circumferential side of the rotating shaft on the upper surface of the mounting plate. A movable plate is slidably connected within the second sliding groove. A contour block is provided on the upper surface of the movable plate. A second worm gear is fitted onto the bottom circumferential side of the rotating shaft on the bottom surface of the mounting plate. Fixing plates are symmetrically arranged on the bottom surface of the mounting plate. A second worm gear is rotatably connected between the two sets of fixing plates. A servo motor is provided on the bottom surface of the mounting plate.

[0007] Furthermore, two sets of support columns are provided. One side of each support column has an adjustment groove, and a rotating cavity is formed on the upper surface of the adjustment groove on the same side of the support column. An adjustment screw is rotatably connected within the adjustment groove, and a sliding block is inserted through the periphery of the adjustment screw. A connecting plate is provided between the two sets of support columns. The top end of the adjustment screw penetrates the upper surface of the inner wall of the adjustment groove and extends into the rotating cavity. A first worm gear is rotatably connected within the rotating cavity, and a first worm wheel is provided at the top end of the adjustment screw. A bidirectional motor is provided on the upper surface of the connecting plate. A connecting rod is hinged to one side of the sliding block, and the sliding block is threadedly engaged with the adjustment screw. The top end of each support column is hinged to the bottom surface of the mounting platform.

[0008] Furthermore, the rotating shaft is rotatably engaged with the mounting plate, the upper surface of the rack is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the moving plate, the rack meshes with the gear, the inner wall of the gear is fixedly connected to the circumferential side of the rotating shaft, the second worm meshes with the second worm wheel, the output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to one end of the second worm, the inner wall of the second worm wheel is fixedly connected to the circumferential side of the rotating shaft, the top end of the connecting rod is hinged to the front bottom surface of the mounting platform, the first worm meshes with the first worm wheel, one end of the first worm penetrates one side of the inner wall of the rotating cavity, and is fixedly connected to the output ends on both sides of the bidirectional motor.

[0009] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] This invention utilizes a servo motor to drive a second worm gear to rotate. The second worm gear meshes with a second worm wheel, which in turn drives a rotating shaft to rotate. The rotating shaft then drives a gear at the top to rotate. This gear meshes with two sets of racks, which in turn move the racks within a first groove. The racks then move a movable plate on the upper surface, along with a contour block, to secure the photovoltaic panel placed on the mounting platform. The self-locking property of the second worm gear meshing with the second worm wheel locks the position of the movable plate and the contour block, preventing the photovoltaic panel from easily shaking or falling off. This makes the assembly and disassembly of the photovoltaic panel simple and convenient, while ensuring good stability.

[0011] By starting the bidirectional motor, the first worm gear at both output ends is driven to rotate. The first worm gear meshes with the first worm wheel, which in turn drives the adjusting screw to rotate. The adjusting screw engages with the sliding block through a threaded connection, thereby causing the sliding block to move up and down in the adjusting groove while rotating. The sliding block is connected to a connecting rod on one side, allowing for angle adjustment with the hinge point between the bottom surface of the mounting platform and the top of the support column as the origin while the sliding block moves up and down. This further enables the mounting platform to rotate and adjust bidirectionally to adapt to the optimal lighting angle.
