Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic flexible support installation technology, and in particular to an auxiliary tooling for installing photovoltaic flexible support components. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional steel-frame photovoltaic supports are limited by construction costs and terrain, and can only be built in relatively flat locations with good lighting. They are difficult to build at a reasonable cost in terrains such as aquaculture ponds, mountains, and sewage treatment plants. To improve the land area utilization rate in these special terrain environments, using flexible photovoltaic supports with higher clearance, larger span, and reasonable construction costs is currently the best choice.
[0003] When assembling photovoltaic flexible supports, most of their components need to be assembled at height. To facilitate safe assembly by assembly personnel, existing assembly auxiliary tools are generally constructed by splicing scaffolding or using steel pipe frames to form a high-altitude assembly platform. However, the assembly and disassembly of such platforms are time-consuming, and their stability is easily affected by the terrain, which increases the risk of high-altitude operations for assembly personnel. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose an auxiliary tooling for the installation of photovoltaic flexible support components, so as to solve the problems that the assembly and disassembly are time-consuming and the stability of the platform is easily affected by the terrain, which increases the danger of high-altitude operations for assembly personnel.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an auxiliary tooling for installing photovoltaic flexible support modules, including a support platform for providing an assembly work surface for assembly personnel and four suspension parts for stably suspending the four corners of the support platform on the shoulder beam. The auxiliary tooling also includes:
[0006] A column-hugging part is provided between the photovoltaic column and the support platform. The column-hugging part includes two turnbuckles threaded onto the outside of the support platform and an mounting component fixed between the two turnbuckles. The mounting component surrounds the outside of the photovoltaic column.
[0007] The suspension part includes a detachable U-bolt for fixing installed at one of the right angles of the support platform and spring buckles that are respectively hooked onto the shoulder beam and the U-bolt for fixing, and a suspension component is provided between the two spring buckles.
[0008] Preferably, the suspension component can be a suspending wire rope, with both ends of the suspending wire rope being fixedly tied to two spring buckles.
[0009] Preferably, the suspension component can be a suspension rod, with both ends of the suspension rod welded to two spring clips respectively.
[0010] Preferably, the mounting component can be a steel wire rope for holding a column, with both ends of the steel wire rope fixed to two turnbuckles respectively.
[0011] Preferably, the mounting component can be an arc-shaped steel bar, and the threaded end of the turnbuckle passes through the through hole at the end of the arc-shaped steel bar and is threaded onto the support platform.
[0012] Preferably, the support platform includes a central square tube and T-shaped connectors at both ends of the central square tube. Each of the two horizontal ends of the T-shaped connector is provided with a horizontal square tube, and one end of each horizontal square tube is provided with a right-angle connector. A vertical square tube is provided between two adjacent right-angle connectors. A through groove is provided at the midpoint of the opposite face of the two vertical square tubes. A through groove is also provided at the midpoint of the central square tube. A horizontal beam square tube is inserted between the three through grooves. The central square tube, the two horizontal square tubes, and the vertical square tubes together form a planar rectangular frame. A panel is placed inside the planar rectangular frame.
[0013] Preferably, the T-shaped connector includes a T-shaped sleeve and a connecting U-bolt disposed between the central square tube and the horizontal square tube, the connecting U-bolt being used to fix the ends of the central square tube and the horizontal square tube inside the T-shaped sleeve.
[0014] Preferably, the right-angle connector includes a right-angle sleeve and hexagonal bolts for fixing the horizontal and vertical square tubes inside the two ends of the right-angle sleeve.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] This utility model, through the cooperation of spring buckles, suspension components, U-bolts for fixing, and other components such as column clamps, can quickly build a support platform between the photovoltaic column and its top shoulder beam, allowing installers to stand and perform assembly operations. The suspension and column clamps work together to constrain the freedom of the support platform in both longitudinal, transverse, and vertical directions, improving the stability and sturdiness of the support platform. After assembly, it can also be efficiently disassembled into smaller parts, and the number of disassembled parts is much smaller than that of scaffolding or steel pipe frames, facilitating relocation and reducing the workload of transportation.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an auxiliary tooling for installing a photovoltaic flexible support module includes a support platform 1 for providing an assembly operation surface for assembly personnel and four suspension parts 2 for stably suspending the four corners of the support platform 1 on the shoulder beam. The auxiliary tooling also includes:
[0027] The column clamping part 3 is located between the photovoltaic column and the support platform 1. The column clamping part 3 includes two turnbuckles 32 threaded to the outside of the support platform 1 and a mounting member 31 fixed between the two turnbuckles 32. The mounting member 31 surrounds the outside of the photovoltaic column.
[0028] The suspension unit 2 includes a detachable U-bolt 22 installed at one right angle of the support platform 1 and spring buckles 23 that are respectively hooked onto the shoulder beam and the U-bolt 22. A suspension member 21 is provided between the two spring buckles 23. With this design, the installer first installs the spring buckles 23 at both ends of the suspension member 21 onto the shoulder beam and the U-bolt 22 respectively. Then, one end of the installation member 31 is fixed to the support platform 1 by one turnbuckle 32. The other end of the installation member 31 is then wrapped around the outside of the photovoltaic column. Next, the remaining end of the installation member 31 is fixed to the support platform 1 by another turnbuckle 32, so that one boundary of the support platform 1 abuts against the photovoltaic column. In this way, the support platform 1 can be horizontally erected on the photovoltaic column near its top. After the photovoltaic flexible bracket is installed, it can also be quickly disassembled into multiple independent parts for easy transfer to other locations. The number of disassembled parts is relatively small, making it convenient and quick to transport. Moreover, since it is suspended on the photovoltaic column, it is not affected by the terrain.
[0029] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the suspension component 21 can be a suspending wire rope, with both ends of the suspending wire rope fixedly tied to two spring buckles 23.
[0030] The suspension component 21 can be a suspension rod, with both ends of the suspension rod welded to two spring clips 23. This design allows for the interchangeability of the suspension wire rope and the suspension rod, improving ease of use and reducing the difficulty of later replacements.
[0031] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the mounting component 31 can be a steel wire rope for holding a column, with both ends of the steel wire rope fixed to two turnbuckles 32 respectively.
[0032] Mounting component 31 can be an arc-shaped steel bar. The threaded end of the turnbuckle 32 passes through the through hole at the end of the arc-shaped steel bar and is threaded onto the support platform 1. With this design, the choice between the arc-shaped steel bar and the column-holding steel wire rope can be made according to the usage requirements. When the support platform 1 needs to bear a large load, the arc-shaped steel bar can be selected, and vice versa. When building or dismantling the support platform 1, the former will relatively increase the load on the installers.
[0033] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the support platform 1 includes a central square tube 101 and T-shaped connectors 102 at both ends of the central square tube 101. Each of the two horizontal ends of the T-shaped connector 102 is provided with a horizontal square tube 103. One end of the horizontal square tube 103 is provided with a right-angle connector 104. A vertical square tube 105 is provided between two adjacent right-angle connectors 104. A through groove 107 is provided at the midpoint of the opposite face of the two vertical square tubes 105. A through groove 107 is also provided at the midpoint of the central square tube 101. A horizontal beam square tube 106 is inserted between the three through grooves 107. The central square tube 101, the two horizontal square tubes 103, and the vertical square tube 105 together form a planar rectangular frame. A panel 108 is placed inside the planar rectangular frame.
[0034] The T-shaped connector 102 includes a T-shaped sleeve and a connecting U-shaped bolt disposed between the central square tube 101 and the horizontal square tube 103. The connecting U-shaped bolt is used to fix the ends of the central square tube 101 and the horizontal square tube 103 inside the T-shaped sleeve.
[0035] The right-angle connector includes a right-angle sleeve and hexagonal bolts for fixing the horizontal square tube 103 and the vertical square tube 105 inside the two ends of the right-angle sleeve. With this design, multiple sets of T-shaped connectors 102 and right-angle connectors 104 can be used in conjunction with the corresponding number of horizontal square tubes 103, vertical square tubes 105, central square tubes 101 and crossbeam square tubes 106 to jointly assemble support platforms 1 of different sizes. If the area of the support platform 1 is relatively small and easy to carry, it can be assembled directly on the ground and then carried to the specified height on the photovoltaic column. If the area of the support platform 1 is relatively large, it is necessary to first assemble a support platform 1 with a relatively small area that is also easy to carry on the ground, carry it to the specified height on the photovoltaic column and set it up, and then carry the required number of related parts and suspension parts 2 onto the set support platform 1 to continue to expand to the required area. The construction is highly flexible.
[0036] Working principle: When the required area of the support platform 1 is only the size of two panels 108, a central square tube 101 can be used on the ground. The ends of two T-shaped sleeves that are not collinear with the other two ends are then fitted onto both ends of the central square tube 101. Horizontal square tubes 103 are then inserted into the remaining ends of the T-shaped sleeves. Connecting U-bolts are used to fix one end of the central square tube 101 and one end of the horizontal square tubes 103 into the T-shaped sleeves, achieving the effect of fixing one end of the central square tube 101 to the two horizontal square tubes 103. Then, two right-angle sleeves are fitted onto both ends of a vertical square tube 105, and then two right-angle sleeves are fitted onto the remaining end of the horizontal square tube 103. Finally, using lifting U-bolts... Bolt 22 and hexagonal bolts are used to fix the horizontal square tube 103, the vertical square tube 105, and the right-angle sleeve together, so that the two sides of the central square tube 101 enclose two planar rectangular frames. Then, the two ends of the horizontal beam square tube 106 are respectively inserted into the through slots 107 on the two vertical square tubes 105, and the midpoint of the horizontal beam square tube 106 is inserted into the through slot 107 on the central square tube 101. Finally, the two panels are placed in the corresponding planar rectangular frames. This completes the assembly of the basic support platform 1. If it is necessary to increase the area of the support platform 1 by horizontally aligning them side by side, one of the two adjacent right-angle sleeves can be replaced with T-shaped sleeves. After the support platform 1 is assembled, the... The installer first needs to carry the four suspension components 21 to the top of the photovoltaic column. The four suspension components 21 are divided into two models based on length. Then, the long and short suspension components 21 are grouped together. After climbing onto the shoulder beam, one group of suspension components 21 is hooked onto one end of the shoulder beam. After all the suspension components 21 are installed, the support platform 1 is carried up. The longer suspension component 21 is hooked onto the two corresponding U-bolts 22 on the support platform 1, with the curved section of the U-bolt 22 facing upwards. Then, the shorter suspension component 21 is hooked onto the U-bolt 22 on the support platform 1 closest to the photovoltaic column. Finally, the installation component 31 is wrapped around the outside of the photovoltaic column, and then both ends are... The support platform 1 is completed by threading the turnbuckle 32 onto the support platform 1. The support platform 1 is constrained in the vertical and circumferential directions by the cooperation of the four suspension members 21 and the shoulder beam. At the same time, the column clamp 3 constrains the support platform 1 in the longitudinal and transverse directions, improving the support stability and construction firmness of the support platform 1. The suspension members 21 are connected to the shoulder beam and the hanging U-bolt 22 through the spring buckle 23. The disassembly steps are simple and quick, and it can be quickly installed or disassembled. All parts are small in size and weight, making them easy to transport. The number of parts used is relatively small. Since the support platform 1 is suspended between the top of the photovoltaic column and the shoulder beam at its top, it is not affected by the terrain.
