Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar energy support technology, and in particular to a modular solar energy support. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing global demand for clean energy, solar energy, as a renewable and green energy source, is being used more and more widely in the energy sector. As a crucial component of solar power generation systems, the performance of solar mounting systems directly affects the installation stability and power generation efficiency of solar panels. Modular solar mounting systems, due to their ease of installation and flexible adjustment, are gradually becoming the mainstream choice in the market; however, they still face many challenges and room for improvement in the process of technological development.
[0003] Currently, most existing solar panel mounting systems employ integrated or welded mechanical structures. These systems are typically manufactured pre-assembled in a factory. The underlying technology involves a robust frame design, using welding, bolting, and other methods to connect the various components into a unified whole. This ensures stable installation of the solar panels under various environmental conditions and maintains a suitable tilt angle. Once installed, this structure provides reliable support, guaranteeing the long-term stable operation of the solar panels.
[0004] However, existing integrated or welded solar support systems have a significant problem: the support frames cannot be assembled. Because their overall structure is not disassembled, the complete support system occupies a large space during transportation, making efficient packaging and transport difficult and significantly increasing transportation costs. At the same time, the excessive size also causes inconvenience in handling and storage, especially in projects requiring the transportation of large quantities of support systems, where the transportation difficulty and cost issues are even more prominent, greatly affecting the convenience of modular solar support systems in practical applications. Therefore, a modular solar support system is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a modular solar panel support, which aims to improve the problem that the existing technology cannot splice the support frame, resulting in difficulties in transportation and a large footprint.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A modular solar panel bracket includes a base, a support column fixedly connected to the top of the base, a support component provided on the outer wall of the support column, a support frame fixedly connected to the top of the support column, and a splicing component provided inside the support frame.
[0008] The splicing assembly includes a locking post, one end of which is fixedly connected to the side wall of one of the support frames. A second hollow post is fixedly connected inside the other support frame. A second spring is provided inside the second hollow post. One end of the second spring is fixedly connected inside the second hollow post, and the other end of the second spring is fixedly connected to a locking ball. The outer wall of the locking ball is disposed on the outer wall of the locking post, and the outer wall of the locking post is slidably connected inside the other support frame.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0010] The support assembly includes a bracing plate, the side wall of which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the support column, and the other side of which is fixedly connected to a first hollow column.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0012] A fixing ring is fixedly connected inside the first hollow column, and a fixing column is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing ring.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0014] A baffle is fixedly connected to one end of the fixed column, and the sidewall of the baffle is set on the sidewall of the first hollow column.
[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0016] The bottom of the support frame is fixedly connected to a limiting post, and the outer wall of the limiting post is slidably connected to the inside of the support column.
[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0018] A first spring is provided on the outer wall of the fixed column. One end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed column, and the other end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed column.
[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0020] A sliding ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed column, and the outer wall of the sliding ring is slidably connected to the inside of the first hollow column.
[0021] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0022] A handle is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding ring, and the outer wall of the handle is slidably connected inside the first hollow column.
[0023] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] 1. In this utility model, the outer wall of the locking column is slid inside the support frame, and then the locking column pushes the locking ball to slide on the inner wall of the second hollow column. Then the locking ball on the outer wall is driven to retract, which achieves the effect of splicing the support frame. This solves the problem that the support frame cannot be spliced, which makes transportation difficult and requires a large area. It improves the convenience of the modular solar bracket.
[0025] 2. In this utility model, the handle is used to drive the sliding ring to slide inside the first hollow column, and then the fixed column is driven to disengage from the limiting column, thus achieving the effect of quick installation of the support column. This solves the problem of low installation efficiency caused by the inability to quickly install the support column, which is a problem when traditional bolts are used for installation. This improves the ease of installation of the modular solar bracket. Attached Figure Description

[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] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The present invention provides an embodiment of a modular solar panel bracket, comprising a base 1, a support column 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, a support component provided on the outer wall of the support column 2, a support frame 3 fixedly connected to the top of the support column 2, and a splicing component provided inside the support frame 3.
[0036] The splicing assembly includes a locking post 10, which engages with a second hollow post 11 in an elastic locking motion. A locking ball 13, under the preload of a second spring 12, presses against the outer wall of the locking post 10, achieving rapid splicing of the support frame 3 while maintaining connection stability. One end of the locking post 10 is fixedly connected to the side wall of one of the support frames 3, and the second hollow post 11 is fixedly connected inside the other support frame 3. A second spring 12 is installed inside the second hollow post 11, pre-installed within it. The restoring force generated by its elastic deformation causes the locking ball 13 to initially... The radial pressure on the locking post 10 is maintained to ensure that the splicing node has improved wind load resistance. One end of the second spring 12 is fixedly connected to the inside of the second hollow column 11, and the other end of the second spring 12 is fixedly connected to the locking ball 13. The locking ball 13 is preferably made of tungsten carbide. When it is used with the 6061-T6 aluminum alloy locking post 10, the wear amount is less than 0.1mm after 20,000 insertion and removal tests, and the service life is more than 15 years. This is the existing technology, and will not be elaborated on here. The outer wall of the locking ball 13 is set on the outer wall of the locking post 10, and the outer wall of the locking post 10 is slidably connected to the inside of another support frame 3.
[0037] Reference Figures 1-4The support assembly includes a diagonal brace 6, whose side wall is fixedly connected to the side wall of the support column 2. Another diagonal brace 6 is fixedly connected to a first hollow column 4. A fixing ring 16 is fixedly connected inside the first hollow column 4. A fixing column 7 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing ring 16. A baffle 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixing column 7. The side wall of the baffle 5 is located on the side wall of the first hollow column 4. A limiting column 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 3. The outer wall of the limiting column 14 is slidably connected to the inside of the support column 2. A first spring 8 is provided on the outer wall of the fixing column 7. The two ends of the first spring 8 are respectively anchored to the side wall of the fixing column 7 and the sliding ring 9. The fixing column 7 achieves self-energization through the compression and energy storage of the spring. The automatic reset effectively avoids connection failures caused by human error, improving system reliability. One end of the first spring 8 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed column 7, and the other end of the first spring 8 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed column 7. A sliding ring 9 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed column 7. The outer wall of the sliding ring 9 is slidably connected to the inside of the first hollow column 4. A handle 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding ring 9. The handle 15 slides linearly with the sliding ring 9, causing the fixed column 7 to make axial displacement within the fixed ring 16, realizing the quick locking of the limiting column 14 and the support column 2, improving the installation efficiency of the support frame 3. The outer wall of the handle 15 is slidably connected to the inside of the first hollow column 4.
[0038] Working principle: When using the modular solar bracket, firstly, when splicing the support column 2, insert the limiting column 14 into the inside of the support column 2, and then pull the handle 15. The force of the handle 15 drives the sliding ring 9 at one end to slide inside the first hollow column 4. At the same time, during the movement of the sliding ring 9, it will drive the fixed column 7 to slide inside the first hollow column 4 and slide the fixed column 7 into the inside of the limiting column 14. During the movement of the sliding ring 9, it will drive the first spring 8 on the side wall to retract. Then, the first spring 8 can reset the fixed column 7 and lock its position inside the limiting column 14. Next, the fixed column 7 slides inside the fixing ring 16 to limit the fixed column 7, thus achieving the effect of quickly installing the support column 2.
[0039] Next, when assembling the support frames 3, first insert the locking post 10 on one side of one support frame 3 into the interior of another support frame 3. Then, as the locking post 10 moves, it will move the locking ball 13 on the outer wall and make the locking ball 13 slide into the interior of the second hollow post 11. Then, as the locking ball 13 moves, it will cause the second spring 12 on the outer wall to contract. Then, the contraction of the second spring 12 can reset its position and make it stably abut against the outer wall of the locking post 10, thus achieving the effect of assembling the support frames 3.
[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
