Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic panel installation technology, specifically to an upper plate mechanism for photovoltaic panel installation. Background Technology

[0002] To perform load suspension on a regular pallet, such as a wooden pallet, and by arranging straps, it can be secured by a single-part strap (also known as an endless strap) by passing the strap under the pallet and then over the load.

[0003] However, in practice, it has been noted that most current mounting mechanisms use steel wire ropes to pull the panels, and the connections are generally made using hooks. These hooks are very easy to come loose during movement, causing the photovoltaic panels to fall downwards, which not only damages the photovoltaic panels but also can easily injure the workers below.

[0004] Another method uses a steel wire rope to pull a mobile frame for mounting the photovoltaic panels. However, with the increase of usage time, the connection between the steel wire rope and the mobile frame, as well as the steel wire rope itself, will experience significant wear. When the wear is severe, there is also a risk of disengagement or breakage during use, causing the photovoltaic panels to fall. Therefore, the risk during use is relatively high and the safety is poor. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a mounting mechanism for photovoltaic panels. Through the interplay between a double-tooth swing lock core and a triangular tooth, the connection between the U-shaped connecting frame and the support frame can be restricted, allowing movement only in one direction and preventing the photovoltaic panels from slipping during movement. Furthermore, the rectangular array of steel wire traction ropes distributes the tension during mounting, preventing accidents caused by damage and further improving safety during use. This addresses the technical problems mentioned in the background section.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A photovoltaic panel mounting mechanism includes a photovoltaic panel support, on which a photovoltaic power generation panel is fixedly connected, and on the side of the photovoltaic panel support away from the photovoltaic power generation panel, a photovoltaic panel mounting device is also placed.

Moreover, the outer side of the end stepped shafts is movably connected to a lifting drive mechanism, and a panel lifting mechanism is installed on the lifting drive mechanism.

[0009] Both ends of the plate lifting mechanism are fixedly connected with a safety locking mechanism that slides with the support frame. The safety locking mechanism includes a mounting shell, and the end of the mounting shell away from the plate lifting mechanism has a groove that slides with the support frame.

[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the inner side of the mounting shell is also provided with a mounting groove, and the inner side of the mounting groove is provided with a double-tooth swing lock cylinder that is movably connected to the mounting shell. One end of the double-tooth swing lock cylinder extends through the mounting shell to the top of the mounting shell, and a steering lever is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting shell.

[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the inner side of the support frame is fixedly connected with triangular teeth in a rectangular array, and one side of the double tooth swing lock cylinder is symmetrically provided with a locking angle for the triangular teeth to engage, while the other side of the double tooth swing lock cylinder is provided with an arc-shaped groove corresponding to the locking angle.

[0012] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a spherical retaining bead is slidably fitted on the inner side of the mounting shell, and the mounting shell is located in an arc-shaped groove on either side, while a compression spring is fixedly connected to the other side of the spherical retaining bead.

[0013] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the plate lifting mechanism includes a U-shaped connecting frame, and both ends of the U-shaped connecting frame are bolted to the mounting shell. An L-shaped baffle is integrally provided above the U-shaped connecting frame, and sliding rollers are movably connected between the L-shaped baffle and the U-shaped connecting frame in a rectangular array.

[0014] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the lifting drive mechanism includes symmetrical hollow winding rollers, each hollow winding roller is sleeved on the outside of the corresponding end stepped shaft, and steel wire traction rope is wound in a rectangular array between the two hollow winding rollers, and the two ends of the steel wire traction rope are respectively fixedly connected to the two sides of the U-shaped connecting frame.

[0015] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a gear ring is fixedly connected to the end of the hollow winding roller on any side, and a drive gear is driven to the side of the gear ring. The end of the drive gear is fixedly connected to a drive shaft that passes through the support frame.

[0016] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the supporting side frame is provided with a power steering device at one end near the transmission shaft, and the power steering device is driven and engaged with the transmission shaft.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] 1.

At this time, the double-tooth swing lock core is tilted, and the locking angle on the side of the double-tooth swing lock core engages with the triangular teeth, so that the safety locking mechanism can only move in one direction, thereby preventing the risk of slipping during the loading process and improving the safety during use.

[0020] 2. This utility model uses steel wire traction ropes arranged in a rectangular array to distribute the weight on the plate lifting mechanism. Even if any one steel wire traction rope is damaged, the other two steel wire traction ropes can still be used. Furthermore, the steel wire traction ropes are wrapped around the outside of the hollow winding roller and can be replaced with each other.

[0021] 3. In this utility model, the lifting mechanism with a steel wire traction rope in the lifting drive mechanism will move the lifting mechanism of the photovoltaic power generation panel to one end of the support frame, thereby transporting the photovoltaic power generation panel to the top of the photovoltaic panel bracket. The L-shaped baffle is movably connected with a sliding roller shaft, which facilitates the movement of the photovoltaic power generation panel, thus making it convenient for workers to unload the photovoltaic power generation panel from the lifting mechanism.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] 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.

[0035] Please see Figure 1-10 This utility model provides a photovoltaic panel mounting mechanism, including a photovoltaic panel bracket 1, a photovoltaic power generation panel 2 fixedly connected to the top of the photovoltaic panel bracket 1, and a photovoltaic panel mounting device placed on the side of the photovoltaic panel bracket 1 away from the photovoltaic power generation panel 2.

[0036] The photovoltaic panel mounting device includes two symmetrically arranged support frames 3, and both ends of the support frames 3 are fixedly connected to end stepped shafts 4. The outer side of the end stepped shafts 4 is movably connected to a lifting drive mechanism 5, and a panel lifting mechanism 6 is installed on the lifting drive mechanism 5.

[0037] Both ends of the plate lifting mechanism 6 are fixedly connected with a safety locking mechanism 7 that slides with the support frame 3. The safety locking mechanism 7 includes a mounting shell 71, and the end of the mounting shell 71 away from the plate lifting mechanism 6 is provided with a groove that slides with the support frame 3.

[0038] Furthermore, the inner side of the mounting housing 71 is provided with a mounting groove 73, and the inner side of the mounting groove 73 is provided with a double-tooth swing lock cylinder 72 that is movably connected to the mounting housing 71. One end of the double-tooth swing lock cylinder 72 extends through the mounting housing 71 to the top of the mounting housing 71, and a steering lever 74 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting housing 71.

[0039] By adopting the above technical solution, the compression spring 77 pushes the spherical locking ball 76 toward the double-tooth swing lock core 72, so that the spherical locking ball 76 is locked into the arc-shaped groove 75 on either side. At this time, the double-tooth swing lock core 72 is tilted, and the locking angle on the side of the double-tooth swing lock core 72 engages with the triangular tooth 32, so that the safety locking mechanism 7 can only move in one direction, thereby preventing the risk of slipping during the upper plate process and improving the safety during use.

[0040] More specifically, the inner side of the support frame 3 is fixedly connected with triangular teeth 32 in a rectangular array, and one side of the double tooth swing lock cylinder 72 is symmetrically provided with a locking angle for engaging the triangular teeth 32, while the other side of the double tooth swing lock cylinder 72 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 75 corresponding to the locking angle.

[0041] Furthermore, a spherical retaining bead 76 is slidably fitted on the inner side of the mounting housing 71, and the mounting housing 71 is located in an arc-shaped groove 75 on either side, while a compression spring 77 is fixedly connected to the other side of the spherical retaining bead 76.

[0042] Furthermore, the plate lifting mechanism 6 includes a U-shaped connecting frame 61, and both ends of the U-shaped connecting frame 61 are bolted to the mounting housing 71. An L-shaped baffle 63 is integrally provided above the U-shaped connecting frame 61, and a sliding roller shaft 64 is movably connected between the L-shaped baffle 63 and the U-shaped connecting frame 61 in a rectangular array.

[0043] Furthermore, the lifting drive mechanism 5 includes symmetrical hollow winding rollers 51, each of which is sleeved on the outside of the corresponding end stepped shaft 4. Steel wire traction ropes 52 are wound in a rectangular array between two hollow winding rollers 51, and the two ends of the steel wire traction ropes 52 are fixedly connected to the two sides of the U-shaped connecting frame 61 respectively.

[0044] By adopting the above technical solution, the weight on the plate lifting mechanism 6 is distributed through the steel wire traction ropes 52 arranged in a rectangular array. Even if any one steel wire traction rope 52 is damaged, the other two steel wire traction ropes 52 can still be used. Furthermore, the steel wire traction ropes 52 are wrapped around the outside of the hollow winding roller 51 and can be replaced with each other. Damage during use will not affect the use, thereby extending the service life.

[0045] More specifically, a gear ring is fixedly connected to the end of the hollow winding roller 51 on either side, and a drive gear 53 is driven and engaged on the side of the gear ring. The end of the drive gear 53 is fixedly connected to a drive shaft 54 ​​that passes through the support frame 3.

[0046] Furthermore, the support frame 3 is provided with a power steering unit 55 at one end near the drive shaft 54, and the power steering unit 55 is in transmission cooperation with the drive shaft 54. The end of the power steering unit 55 is in transmission cooperation with a drive motor 56, and the drive motor 56 is fixedly connected to the support frame 3.

[0047] Furthermore, the U-shaped connecting frame 61 has a groove 62 corresponding to the steel wire traction rope 52 at its lower part, and the steel wire traction rope 52 passes through the inner side of the groove 62.

[0048] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting mechanism 6, on which the photovoltaic panel 2 is placed, will move towards one end of the support frame 3 through the traction of the steel wire traction rope 52 in the lifting drive mechanism 5, thereby transporting the photovoltaic panel 2 to the top of the photovoltaic panel bracket 1. The L-shaped baffle 63 is movably connected to the sliding roller shaft 64, which facilitates the movement of the photovoltaic panel 2, thereby making it convenient for workers to unload the photovoltaic panel 2 from the lifting mechanism 6.

[0049] Furthermore, the support frame 3 has bolt holes 31 arranged in a rectangular array on the side away from the triangular teeth 32, and each group of bolt holes 31 has two bolt holes 31.

[0050] Furthermore, the side of the support frame 3 is fixedly connected to an ear plate bracket 8, and a locking bolt passes through the ear plate bracket 8. The end of the locking bolt passes through the ear plate bracket 8 and is threadedly connected to the bolt hole 31 at the corresponding position. According to the on-site usage, the position of the ear plate bracket 8 on the outside of the support frame 3 can be adjusted to prevent the support frame 3 from conflicting with the photovoltaic panel bracket 1.

[0051] Furthermore, fasteners can be used to install the support frame below the ear plate bracket 8, thereby tilting the photovoltaic panel mounter as a whole, allowing it to be tilted without relying on the photovoltaic panel bracket 1.

[0052] More specifically, during the mounting process, first rotate the steering lever 74 to engage the locking angle b on the double-tooth swing lock cylinder 72 with the triangular tooth 32. At this time, as the double-tooth swing lock cylinder 72 moves towards the end stepped shaft 4 along with the mounting housing 71, it is subjected to a traction force and rotates counterclockwise until the locking angle b passes the end of the triangular tooth 32. Then, the reaction force of the compressed spring 77 will burst after the locking angle b passes the triangular tooth 32, pushing the spherical locking ball 76 to apply pressure to the arc-shaped groove 75, thereby causing the double-tooth swing lock cylinder 72 to quickly reset. This process is repeated continuously, allowing it to move only in one direction. When the double-tooth swing lock cylinder 72 moves towards the other end along with the mounting housing 71, the triangular tooth 32 will be subjected to clockwise pressure, causing the locking angle b to be locked in the triangular tooth 32. The arc on the side of the double-tooth swing lock cylinder 72 prevents the locking angle b from crossing the triangular tooth 32, thus completing the locking.

[0053] After the worker removes the photovoltaic panel 2, he turns the steering lever 74 to separate the latch b in the double-tooth swing lock core 72 from the triangular tooth 32. At the same time, the latch a engages with the triangular tooth 32, enabling the panel lifting mechanism 6 to move in another direction.

[0054] Furthermore, a manual switch box is electrically connected to one side of the drive motor 56 via a wire, and the rotation direction of the drive motor 56 is controlled by the forward and reverse buttons on the manual switch box.

[0055] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, first place the photovoltaic panel loading device on the photovoltaic panel bracket 1, and fix the support leg at one end of the support frame 3 to the ground. Then place the photovoltaic power generation panel 2 to be transported on the support frame 3, and place one side of the photovoltaic power generation panel 2 against the upper part of the panel lifting mechanism 6. Then move the steering lever 74, which drives the double tooth swing lock core 72, so that the steering lever 74 locking angle b is engaged in the triangular tooth 32. At this time, the compression spring 77 pushes the ball locking bead 76 to be engaged in the arc-shaped groove 75 on the side away from the locking angle b. Then the drive motor 56 drives the transmission shaft 54 ​​to rotate through the power steering device 55. Through the transmission cooperation between the drive gear 53 fixed at the end of the transmission shaft 54 ​​and the hollow winding roller 51, the hollow winding roller 51 drives the steel wire traction rope 52 to rotate, which in turn drives the steel wire traction rope 52 to move the U-shaped connecting frame 61. At the same time, the mounting shells 71 at both ends of the U-shaped connecting frame 61 slide on the outside of the support frame 3.

[0056] During movement, the locking angle b on the double-tooth swing lock cylinder 72 rotates counterclockwise, and the arc-shaped groove 75 on the double-tooth swing lock cylinder 72 pushes the spherical locking ball 76 to move, compressing the compression spring 77 until the locking angle b on the double-tooth swing lock cylinder 72 enters the next triangular tooth 32. This process repeats. If a misoperation occurs or the steel wire traction rope 52 is damaged, causing the plate lifting mechanism 6 to slide downwards, the double-tooth swing lock cylinder 72 receives clockwise pressure. As a result, there is no opening below the locking angle b on the double-tooth swing lock cylinder 72, so the locking angle b will be stuck in the triangular tooth 32 and cannot rotate, thereby improving safety during use. The structure is simple, the operation is very convenient, and it effectively reduces the intensity of manual labor.

[0057] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.

This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
