Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic panel support technology, and specifically to a photovoltaic panel support. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic panels generate electricity using the photoelectric effect, and typically need to be exposed to sunlight to receive its rays. Because the orientation of photovoltaic panels needs to be determined according to the angle of sunlight, they cannot be simply placed directly on the ground; they require a support frame to hold them in place.

[0003] Existing photovoltaic panel support structures are simple, mostly consisting of simple brackets assembled directly from several metal rods, with a large number of photovoltaic panels fixed to the top using bolts. While convenient to use, these structures lack protective features, especially in extreme environments such as hail or strong winds. Even with advance warning, the complex bracket connections and the large number of photovoltaic panels and brackets make it impossible to disassemble and recycle them in time. This results in direct damage to the photovoltaic panels from hail impacts or disintegration of the brackets due to strong winds, leading to damage to the photovoltaic panels. Therefore, a photovoltaic panel support with storage capabilities is needed to improve the protection of photovoltaic panels. Utility Model Content

However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application will be thorough and complete.

[0022] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0023] Combination Figure 1-3 As shown, a photovoltaic panel support includes:

[0024] The base 1 is fixed to the bottom surface or base plate with concrete to fix the entire support and ensure its stability in use. The top of the base is provided with a connecting part 5 to assist in connecting other components.

[0025] Cover plate 2 is set on one side of the top of base 1. It mainly covers the photovoltaic panels on the entire bracket by flipping, so as to protect the photovoltaic panels in extreme environments.

[0026] The folding component 3, located on the base 1 and cover plate 2 support structure, is the main support structure for the photovoltaic panel. It can be folded to shrink the overall size of the support structure and avoid being affected by strong winds.

[0027] The lifting adjustment component 4 is located at the end of the base 1 and its top end is connected to the top end of the cover plate 2. It is mainly used to control the unfolding or folding of the cover plate 2 and the folding component 3.

[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, the connecting part 5 is rectangular and has a connecting groove 51 at the center. An adjusting shaft 52 is provided in the connecting groove 51. The two ends of the adjusting shaft 52 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting groove 51. The bottom end of the cover plate 2 has a protrusion and a through hole on the side wall of the protrusion. The through hole is used to make a movable hinge with the adjusting shaft 52, so that the entire cover plate 2 can move in a circle around the adjusting shaft 52. In this embodiment, the cover plate 2 is deflected in a direction away from the connecting part 5.

[0029] The lifting adjustment assembly 4 consists of two electric telescopic rods, which are arranged obliquely on both sides of the base 1. Flanges are correspondingly provided on the side walls of the base 1 and the cover plate 2, with the flange on the cover plate 2 positioned close to its top. The bottom and top ends of the electric telescopic rods are movably connected to the flange surfaces using ball joints, thus forming a triangular structure. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the lifting and adjusting structure is the main supporting component. When the lifting and adjusting structure is retracted to its minimum stroke, the cover plate 2 is in contact with the top surface of the base 1.

[0030] The folding assembly 3 is located below the top of the cover plate 2. Its structure includes a first mounting frame 31 and a second mounting frame 32. The first mounting frame 31 and the second mounting frame 32 are the same size and are both rectangular frames. A positioning groove 33 is provided at the center edge. An elastic element 34 is provided on the inner side wall of the positioning groove 33. The elastic element 34 is a spring and is mainly used to adapt to photovoltaic panels of different widths. It can also provide a certain shock absorption function for the photovoltaic panels installed there. The elastic element 34 should extend towards the center of the first mounting frame 31 or the second mounting frame 32. A baffle 35 is also provided at the end of the elastic element 34. The baffle 35 is a long straight plate with an L-shaped cross-section. Two baffles are provided and arranged opposite each other. The photovoltaic panel is arranged between the two baffles 35 and the bottom surface of the photovoltaic panel is attached to the horizontal section surface of the baffle 35.

[0031] In addition, the vertical section of the baffle 35 is provided with a guide groove, and the side wall of the photovoltaic panel is provided with a protrusion that slides into the guide groove to achieve the purpose of limiting the position. Furthermore, the photovoltaic panel frame and the horizontal section of the baffle 35 are provided with threaded holes, which are further reinforced with bolts to ensure the stability of the photovoltaic panel installation.

[0032] The first mounting frame 31 and the second mounting frame 32 are also provided with a hinge structure, that is, the top of the first mounting frame 31 is movably hinged to the bottom surface of the top of the cover plate 2, the bottom of the first mounting frame 31 and the top of the second mounting frame 32 are movably hinged, and the bottom of the second mounting frame 32 is movably hinged to the top surface of the base 1. Based on this structure, when the middle position of the folding component 3, that is, the hinge part of the first mounting frame 31 and the second mounting frame 32, extends inward, the photovoltaic panels on the first mounting frame 31 and the second mounting frame 32 gradually deflect to a horizontal position and align vertically.

[0033] To prevent damage to the photovoltaic panel surface due to compression, elastic pads can be provided around the edges of the first mounting frame 31 and the second mounting frame 32. These elastic pads are made of rubber and are fitted together to form a closed space, which can both provide a buffer function and improve the protective effect.

[0034] A protective plate 21 is also provided on the bottom surface of the cover plate 2. The protective plate 21 extends downward. When the cover plate 2 is tilted downward to a horizontal position, the bottom surface of the protective plate 21 fits against the top surface of the base 1. At this time, the protective plate 21 is located around the folding component 3, thus completely enclosing it with the cover plate 2 and the base 1, which reduces the volume of the entire bracket and forms a protective structure.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
