Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic panel installation technology, and more specifically to an adjustment device for photovoltaic panels. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic panels are devices that utilize the properties of semiconductor materials to efficiently convert sunlight into electrical energy, and they have been widely used in diverse scenarios such as distributed power generation systems and rural rooftops. However, photovoltaic panels are often installed in open areas. While this open installation environment is conducive to receiving ample sunlight, it also exposes the photovoltaic panels to strong winds during windy weather, making them susceptible to damage of varying degrees due to excessive wind force, thus posing a risk to the stable operation of the photovoltaic system. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides an adjustment device for photovoltaic panels to solve the problem that photovoltaic panels are easily damaged to varying degrees by strong winds when encountering strong winds, which poses a risk to the stable operation of the photovoltaic system.

[0004] This utility model provides an adjustment device for a photovoltaic panel. The photovoltaic panel includes a first end and a second end arranged opposite to each other. The adjustment device for the photovoltaic panel includes a mounting platform, a pitch drive mechanism, a pitch adjustment mechanism, a tilt angle sensor, a wind speed sensor, and a control box. The first end of the photovoltaic panel is rotatably connected to the mounting platform. The pitch drive mechanism is fixed to the mounting platform. The pitch adjustment mechanism is driven by the pitch drive mechanism and rotatably connected to the second end of the photovoltaic panel. The tilt angle sensor is installed at the connection between the photovoltaic panel and the pitch adjustment mechanism. The wind speed sensor is arranged adjacent to the photovoltaic panel. The control box is communicatively connected to the pitch drive mechanism, the tilt angle sensor, and the wind speed sensor.

[0005] Beneficial effects: By fixing the pitch drive mechanism to the mounting platform and connecting it to the pitch adjustment mechanism, while allowing the first end of the photovoltaic panel to be rotatably connected to the mounting platform and the second end to be rotatably connected to the pitch adjustment mechanism, flexible adjustment of the photovoltaic panel's pitch angle is achieved. The tilt angle sensor, installed at the connection between the photovoltaic panel and the pitch adjustment mechanism, can provide real-time and accurate feedback on the photovoltaic panel's tilt angle, providing data support for controlling the photovoltaic panel's pitch angle. The wind speed sensor, positioned adjacent to the photovoltaic panel, can monitor the wind speed around the photovoltaic panel in real time. The control box is communicatively connected to the pitch drive mechanism, the tilt angle sensor, and the wind speed sensor, enabling it to comprehensively receive data from both sensors and control the pitch drive mechanism. This achieves automated and precise adjustment of the photovoltaic panel's angle, allowing for timely adjustment when wind speeds are too high, enhancing its wind resistance, ensuring the photovoltaic panel's safety, reducing the risk of damage from severe weather, and extending the photovoltaic panel's lifespan.

[0006] In one optional embodiment, the pitch drive mechanism is disposed below the photovoltaic panel and includes a first drive motor and a lead screw; the first drive motor is fixed on the mounting platform near the first end of the photovoltaic panel; the lead screw is rotatably disposed on the mounting platform, with one end connected to the drive end of the first drive motor and the other end extending horizontally towards the second end of the photovoltaic panel; one end of the pitch adjustment mechanism is threadedly connected to the lead screw; the other end extends towards the second end of the photovoltaic panel and is rotatably connected to the second end of the photovoltaic panel.

[0007] Beneficial effects: Fixing the first drive motor on the mounting platform provides a stable and reliable power source for the pitch drive mechanism. The lead screw is rotatably mounted on the mounting platform and connected to the drive end of the first drive motor, converting the rotational motion of the first drive motor into the rotation of the lead screw. One end of the pitch adjustment mechanism is threadedly connected to the lead screw. Through the rotation of the lead screw, the one end of the pitch adjustment mechanism can move horizontally along the lead screw via threaded transmission. Since the other end of the pitch adjustment mechanism extends towards the second end of the photovoltaic panel and is rotatably connected to the second end of the photovoltaic panel, when one end of the pitch adjustment mechanism moves horizontally along the lead screw, the other end can move vertically up and down, thereby adjusting the pitch angle of the photovoltaic panel.

[0008] In one optional embodiment, the pitch adjustment mechanism includes a connector and an adjuster; the connector is threadedly connected to the lead screw; one end of the adjuster is rotatably connected to the connector, and the other end extends toward the second end of the photovoltaic panel and is rotatably connected to the second end of the photovoltaic panel.

[0009] Beneficial effects: The connector is threaded to the lead screw, utilizing the threaded transmission principle to convert the rotational motion of the lead screw into the horizontal linear motion of the connector along the lead screw. One end of the adjusting component is rotatably connected to the connector, while the other end extends towards and rotatably connects to the second end of the photovoltaic panel. This allows the adjusting component to flexibly change its connection angle with the photovoltaic panel under the horizontal movement of the connector, thus facilitating the adjustment of the photovoltaic panel's pitch angle. The overall structure is simple and reasonable, efficiently completing the conversion process from lead screw rotation to photovoltaic panel angle adjustment through the synergistic action of the connector and the adjusting component.

[0010] In one alternative embodiment, two sets of clamping mechanisms are further included, one set of clamping mechanisms being rotatably connected to the mounting platform and detachably connected to the first end of the photovoltaic panel; the other set of clamping mechanisms is rotatably connected to the adjusting member and detachably connected to the second end of the photovoltaic panel.

[0011] Beneficial effects: One set of clamping mechanisms is rotatably connected to the mounting platform and detachably connected to the first end of the photovoltaic panel. This rotatable connection ensures that the photovoltaic panel can tilt and rotate relative to the mounting platform around this connection point. The other set of clamping mechanisms is rotatably connected to the adjusting component and detachably connected to the second end of the photovoltaic panel. This rotatable connection ensures that the photovoltaic panel can tilt and rotate relative to the adjusting component around this connection point, thereby achieving adjustment of the photovoltaic panel's tilt angle. The detachable connection facilitates maintenance and replacement of the photovoltaic panel. The two sets of clamping mechanisms work together, ensuring both the flexibility and precision of the photovoltaic panel angle adjustment and improving the maintainability and convenience of the entire system.

[0012] In one optional embodiment, the clamping mechanism includes a crossbeam and two sets of clamping members; the crossbeam is rotatably connected to the mounting platform or the adjusting member; the two sets of clamping members are slidably connected to the crossbeam, having clamping positions that are close to each other and clamp the photovoltaic panel, and separating positions that are far apart from each other.

[0013] Beneficial effects: The crossbeam is rotatably connected to the mounting platform or adjusting components, providing a flexible base for the entire clamping mechanism. This allows the photovoltaic panel to adjust its pitch angle around the connection point. Two sets of clamping components are slidably connected to the crossbeam, allowing them to move closer together to the clamping position to securely hold the photovoltaic panel according to its size and installation requirements. This ensures the stability of the photovoltaic panel installation without damaging its structure. When it is necessary to disassemble or replace the photovoltaic panel, they can move away from each other to a separate position, greatly facilitating the installation, disassembly, and maintenance of the photovoltaic panel.

[0014] In one optional embodiment, the crossbeam has a sliding groove and a connecting groove at the bottom, and the connecting groove extends in the same direction as the sliding groove and communicates with the sliding groove; the clamping member includes a clamping section and a sliding section; the clamping section is disposed above the crossbeam, and when the clamping member is in the clamping position, the clamping section engages with the photovoltaic panel; the sliding section is slidably disposed in the sliding groove, and the sliding section has a connecting hole; the clamping mechanism further includes a fastener, which detachably connects the connecting hole and the connecting groove.

[0015] Beneficial Effects: A sliding groove is installed within the crossbeam, and a connecting groove at the bottom extends in the same direction and connects with the groove. This provides a precise track and positioning structure for the sliding and fixing of the clamping component, ensuring that it can move smoothly and accurately in the predetermined direction. The clamping component consists of a clamping section and a sliding section. The clamping section is located above the crossbeam and engages with the photovoltaic panel when in the clamping position, ensuring a tight fit and secure fixation. This effectively guarantees the stability and reliability of the photovoltaic panel installation and prevents it from shaking or shifting during operation. The sliding section slides within the groove, ensuring smooth and flexible movement of the clamping component on the crossbeam. The clamping position can be quickly adjusted according to photovoltaic panels of different sizes. Connecting holes are provided on the sliding section, which, together with the connecting groove at the bottom of the crossbeam and detachable fasteners, allow for convenient and quick fixing of the clamping component in the desired position. This significantly improves the efficiency of photovoltaic panel installation, maintenance, and replacement, enhancing the flexibility and maintainability of the entire photovoltaic power generation system.

[0016] In one alternative embodiment, a base and a horizontal rotation mechanism are also included; the base is located below the mounting platform; the horizontal rotation mechanism is fixed to the base and is kinetically connected to the mounting platform.

[0017] Beneficial effects: By setting a horizontal rotation mechanism on the base and connecting the horizontal rotation mechanism to the installation platform, the angle of the installation platform in the horizontal direction can be flexibly adjusted. This allows the photovoltaic panels fixed on the installation platform to rotate horizontally accordingly. As a result, the rotation angle of the photovoltaic panels in the horizontal direction can be adjusted according to the changes in the position of the sun in the sky at different times, so that the photovoltaic panels always receive sunlight at the optimal angle, maximizing the absorption efficiency of solar energy by the photovoltaic panels and significantly increasing the power generation of the photovoltaic power generation system.

[0018] In one optional embodiment, the horizontal rotation mechanism includes a housing, a connecting shaft, a first transmission gear, a second drive motor, and a second transmission gear; the housing is fixed on the base; the connecting shaft extends vertically, with one end rotatably disposed within the housing and the other end fixedly connected to the mounting platform; the first transmission gear is disposed within the housing and sleeved on the outer periphery of the connecting shaft; the second drive motor is fixed on the housing; the second transmission gear is located within the housing, fixed on the drive end of the second drive motor, and meshes with the first transmission gear.

[0019] Beneficial Effects: The housing, fixed to the base, provides stable support and protection for the entire rotating mechanism, ensuring that internal components are not disturbed by external factors during operation, thus guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the mechanism. The connecting shaft extends vertically, with one end rotatably mounted inside the housing and the other end fixedly connected to the mounting platform. This combines the fixed support function of the housing with the rotational requirements of the mounting platform, allowing the mounting platform to rotate horizontally via the rotation of the connecting shaft. The first transmission gear is located inside the housing and sleeved on the outer circumference of the connecting shaft. The second transmission gear is fixed to the drive end of the second drive motor and meshes with the first transmission gear. The second drive motor drives the second transmission gear to rotate, which in turn drives the first transmission gear and the connecting shaft to rotate, achieving control over the horizontal rotation angle of the mounting platform. This allows for flexible adjustment of the photovoltaic panel's horizontal angle according to different environmental conditions, ensuring that the photovoltaic panel always receives sunlight at the optimal angle, maximizing solar energy absorption efficiency, and improving the power generation and operational performance of the photovoltaic power generation system. Furthermore, the compact and rationally designed structure helps reduce system complexity and maintenance costs.

[0020] In an optional embodiment, a photosensor is also included, which is mounted at the connection between the photovoltaic panel and the pitch adjustment mechanism and is communicatively connected to the control box.

[0021] Beneficial effects: By installing a photosensitive sensor at the connection between the photovoltaic panel and the pitch adjustment mechanism, the system can accurately and in real-time perceive the light intensity and direction near this connection point. This accurately reflects the lighting conditions at the location of the photovoltaic panel and avoids measurement errors caused by improper installation. Through communication with the control box, the photosensitive sensor can transmit the collected lighting data to the control box promptly and accurately. Based on the data from the photosensitive sensor, the control box can control the pitch adjustment mechanism and the horizontal rotation mechanism. By controlling the pitch adjustment mechanism, the pitch angle of the photovoltaic panel can be adjusted in real-time, ensuring that the photovoltaic panel always maintains the ideal angle of incidence with sunlight. By controlling the horizontal rotation mechanism, the rotation angle of the photovoltaic panel in the horizontal direction can be adjusted according to the changing position of the sun in the sky at different times, actively tracking sunlight and maximizing the absorption and conversion efficiency of solar energy by the photovoltaic panel, significantly increasing the power generation of the photovoltaic power generation system. This reduces the need for manual intervention, lowers operation and maintenance costs, and also enhances the system's adaptability to different lighting environments.

[0022] In one optional embodiment, the control box includes a housing, a battery, and a controller; the housing is fixed on the base; the battery is disposed inside the housing and electrically connected to the pitch drive mechanism, the horizontal rotation mechanism, and the photovoltaic panel; the controller is disposed inside the housing, electrically connected to the battery, and communicatively connected to the tilt angle sensor, the wind speed sensor, and the photosensor.

[0023] Beneficial Effects: The enclosure, fixed to the base, provides a stable and safe installation environment for the internal components, ensuring that each component is not affected by external factors during operation, thus guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the system. The battery, housed within the enclosure and electrically connected to the first drive motor, second drive motor, and photovoltaic panels, stores the electrical energy converted from the photovoltaic panels, achieving effective energy storage. During periods of insufficient sunlight or at night when the photovoltaic panels cannot provide power, it supplies power to the first and second drive motors and other equipment, ensuring continuous and stable system operation. The controller, also housed within the enclosure and electrically connected to the battery, communicates with tilt angle sensors, wind speed sensors, and light sensors. It receives data from these sensors in real time and, through analysis and processing, controls the operation of the first and second drive motors, thereby adjusting the tilt and horizontal angles of the photovoltaic panels. This ensures the photovoltaic panels always receive sunlight at the optimal angle, maximizing solar energy absorption and conversion efficiency, and enhancing the system's intelligence level.

[0033] According to an embodiment of this utility model, an adjustment device for a photovoltaic panel 01 is provided. The photovoltaic panel 01 includes a first end 011 and a second end 012 disposed opposite to each other. The adjustment device for the photovoltaic panel 01 includes a mounting platform 02, a pitch drive mechanism 03, a pitch adjustment mechanism 04, a tilt angle sensor 05, a wind speed sensor 06, and a control box 07. The first end 011 of the photovoltaic panel 01 is rotatably connected to the mounting platform 02. The pitch drive mechanism 03 is fixed to the mounting platform 02. The pitch adjustment mechanism 04 is drive-connected to the pitch drive mechanism 03 and rotatably connected to the second end 012 of the photovoltaic panel 01. The tilt angle sensor 05 is installed at the connection between the photovoltaic panel 01 and the pitch adjustment mechanism 04. The wind speed sensor 06 is disposed adjacent to the photovoltaic panel 01. The control box 07 is communicatively connected to the pitch drive mechanism 03, the tilt angle sensor 05, and the wind speed sensor 06.

[0034] By fixing the pitch drive mechanism 03 to the mounting platform 02 and connecting it to the pitch adjustment mechanism 04, and simultaneously allowing the first end 011 of the photovoltaic panel 01 to be rotatably connected to the mounting platform 02 and the second end 012 to be rotatably connected to the pitch adjustment mechanism 04, flexible adjustment of the pitch angle of the photovoltaic panel 01 is achieved. The tilt angle sensor 05 is installed at the connection between the photovoltaic panel 01 and the pitch adjustment mechanism 04, providing real-time and accurate feedback of the tilt angle information of the photovoltaic panel 01, thus providing data support for controlling the pitch angle of the photovoltaic panel 01. The wind speed sensor 06 is positioned adjacent to the photovoltaic panel 01. The system can monitor the wind speed around the photovoltaic panel 01 in real time. The control box 07 is communicatively connected to the pitch drive mechanism 03, the tilt angle sensor 05, and the wind speed sensor 06. It can comprehensively receive data from the tilt angle sensor 05 and the wind speed sensor 06, and control the pitch drive mechanism 03 to achieve automated and precise adjustment of the angle of the photovoltaic panel 01. This allows for timely adjustment of the photovoltaic panel 01 angle when the wind speed is too high, enhancing its wind resistance, ensuring the safety of the photovoltaic panel 01, reducing the risk of damage to the photovoltaic panel 01 caused by severe weather, and extending the service life of the photovoltaic panel 01.

[0035] In one embodiment, the pitch drive mechanism 03 is disposed below the photovoltaic panel 01 and includes a first drive motor 031 and a lead screw 032.

One end of the pitch adjustment mechanism 04 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 032, and the other end extends towards the second end 012 of the photovoltaic panel 01 and is rotatably connected to the second end 012 of the photovoltaic panel 01.

[0036] The first drive motor 031 is fixed on the mounting platform 02, providing a stable and reliable power source for the pitch drive mechanism 03. The lead screw 032 is rotatably mounted on the mounting platform 02 and connected to the drive end of the first drive motor 031, converting the rotational motion of the first drive motor 031 into the rotation of the lead screw 032. One end of the pitch adjustment mechanism 04 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 032. Through the rotation of the lead screw 032, the one end of the pitch adjustment mechanism 04 can move horizontally along the lead screw 032 via threaded transmission. Since the other end of the pitch adjustment mechanism 04 extends towards the second end 012 of the photovoltaic panel 01 and is rotatably connected to the second end 012 of the photovoltaic panel 01, when one end of the pitch adjustment mechanism 04 moves horizontally along the lead screw 032, the other end can move vertically up and down, thereby adjusting the pitch angle of the photovoltaic panel 01.

One end of the lead screw 032 is connected to the drive end of the first drive motor 031, and the other end passes through the first mounting hole and is rotatably connected to the second mounting hole.

[0038] In one embodiment, the pitch adjustment mechanism 04 includes a connector and an adjuster; the connector is threadedly connected to the lead screw 032; one end of the adjuster is rotatably connected to the connector, and the other end extends toward the second end 012 of the photovoltaic panel 01 and is rotatably connected to the second end 012 of the photovoltaic panel 01.

[0039] The connector is threadedly connected to the lead screw 032, utilizing the threaded transmission principle to convert the rotational motion of the lead screw 032 into horizontal linear motion of the connector along the lead screw 032. One end of the adjusting component is rotatably connected to the connector, and the other end extends towards the second end 012 of the photovoltaic panel 01 and is rotatably connected to the second end 012 of the photovoltaic panel 01. This allows the adjusting component to flexibly change its connection angle with the photovoltaic panel 01 under the drive of the horizontal movement of the connector, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel 01. The overall structure is simple and reasonable, and through the synergistic action of the connector and the adjusting component, the conversion process from the rotation of the lead screw 032 to the adjustment of the photovoltaic panel 01 angle is efficiently completed.

[0040] In one embodiment, two sets of clamping mechanisms 08 are further included.

The detachable connection facilitates maintenance and replacement of the photovoltaic panel 01. The two sets of clamping mechanisms 08 work together, ensuring both the flexibility and precision of the photovoltaic panel 01's angle adjustment and improving the maintainability and convenience of the entire system.

[0042] In one embodiment, the clamping mechanism 08 includes a crossbeam 081 and two sets of clamping members 082; the crossbeam 081 is rotatably connected to the mounting platform 02 or the adjusting member; the two sets of clamping members 082 are slidably connected to the crossbeam 081, having clamping positions that are close to each other and clamp the photovoltaic panel 01, and separation positions that are far apart from each other.

[0043] The crossbeam 081 is rotatably connected to the mounting platform 02 or the adjusting component, enabling the clamping mechanism 08 to rotate around the mounting platform 02 or the adjusting component. This provides a flexible base for the entire clamping mechanism 08, allowing the photovoltaic panel 01 to adjust its pitch angle around this connection point. Two sets of clamping components 082 are slidably connected to the crossbeam 081. Depending on the size of the photovoltaic panel 01 and installation requirements, they can move closer together to the clamping position to firmly clamp the photovoltaic panel 01, ensuring the stability of the photovoltaic panel 01 installation without damaging its structure. When it is necessary to disassemble or replace the photovoltaic panel 01, they can move further apart to a separated position, greatly facilitating the installation, disassembly, and maintenance of the photovoltaic panel 01.

One end of the second rotating rod 131 is connected to the third connecting pipe, and the other end passes through the two second through holes and connects to the fourth connecting block 133. A corresponding crossbeam 081 is positioned above the second rotating rod 131, spaced apart from it, and its two ends are connected to the third connecting block 132 and the fourth connecting block 133, respectively. The second end 012 of the photovoltaic panel 01 is positioned on the crossbeam 081, and is clamped by two sets of clamping members 082.

[0046] In a specific implementation, by setting the first rotating rod and the second rotating rod 131, the first rotating rod can keep the first end 011 of the photovoltaic panel 01 in the height direction unchanged by the fixed seat, and the second rotating rod 131 can cooperate with the adjusting component to raise or lower the second end 012 of the photovoltaic panel 01.

[0047] In a specific embodiment, the connector includes a support rod 0411 and a first connecting seat 0412. The bottom end of the first connecting seat 0412 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 032, and the top end is rotatably connected to one end of the support rod 0411. One end of each of the two connecting rods 0421 is connected to the other end of the support rod 0411 to form a Y-shaped bracket.

[0048] In a specific implementation, both the tilt angle sensor 05 and the wind speed sensor 06 are fixed on the crossbeam 081 located on one side of the adjusting component; this facilitates the accurate acquisition of the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel 01 and the wind speed information of the surrounding environment by the tilt angle sensor 05 and the wind speed sensor 06, providing reliable data support for subsequent intelligent control.

[0049] In a specific implementation, different lengths of crossbeams 081 can be selected according to usage requirements. By adjusting the number of clamping parts 082 on the crossbeams 081, the installation of one or more sets of photovoltaic panels 01 can be achieved.

[0050] In one embodiment, the crossbeam 081 has a sliding groove 0811 and a connecting groove 0812 at its bottom, and the connecting groove 0812 extends in the same direction as the sliding groove 0811 and communicates with the sliding groove 0811; the clamping member 082 includes a clamping section 0821 and a sliding section 0822; the clamping section 0821 is disposed above the crossbeam 081, and when the clamping member 082 is in the clamping position, the clamping section 0821 is engaged with the photovoltaic panel 01; the sliding section 0822 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 0811, and the sliding section 0822 has a connecting hole; the clamping mechanism 08 also includes a fastener, which detachably connects the connecting hole and the connecting groove 0812.

[0051] A sliding groove 0811 is provided inside the crossbeam 081, and a connecting groove 0812 extending in the same direction and communicating with the sliding groove 0811 is provided at the bottom. This provides a precise track and positioning structure for the sliding and fixing of the clamping component 082, ensuring that the clamping component 082 can move smoothly and accurately in a predetermined direction. The clamping component 082 consists of a clamping section 0821 and a sliding section 0822. The clamping section 0821 is located above the crossbeam 081 and can engage with the photovoltaic panel 01 when in the clamping position, allowing the clamping section 0821 to fit tightly and firmly fix the photovoltaic panel 01, effectively ensuring the stability and reliability of the photovoltaic panel 01 installation and preventing it from shaking or shifting during operation. The sliding section 0822 is slidably set in the sliding groove 0811, ensuring the smoothness and flexibility of the movement of the clamping component 082 on the crossbeam 081, and allowing the clamping position to be quickly adjusted according to different sizes of photovoltaic panels 01. The sliding section 0822 is provided with a connection hole, which, together with the connection groove 0812 at the bottom of the crossbeam 081 and the detachable fastener, can conveniently and quickly fix the clamp 082 in the required position, greatly improving the efficiency of installing, maintaining and replacing the photovoltaic panel 01, and enhancing the flexibility and maintainability of the entire photovoltaic power generation system.

[0052] In a specific embodiment, the clamping section 0821 of the clamping member 082 includes a side plate and a top plate. The side plate can abut against the side of the photovoltaic panel 01, and the top plate can press against the top surface of the photovoltaic panel 01 to achieve effective fixation of the photovoltaic panel 01.

[0053] In a specific implementation, the fastener includes a bolt 0831 and a nut 0832. The bolt 0831 passes through the connecting hole and the connecting groove 0812 in sequence and is connected to the nut 0832.

[0054] Specifically, the width of the connecting groove 0812 is smaller than the width of the sliding section 0822; the diameter of the nut 0832 is larger than the width of the connecting groove 0812.

[0055] In one embodiment, the system further includes a base 09 and a horizontal rotation mechanism 10; the base 09 is located below the mounting platform 02; the horizontal rotation mechanism 10 is fixed on the base 09 and is connected to the mounting platform 02 in a transmission manner.

[0056] By setting a horizontal rotation mechanism 10 on the base 09 and connecting the horizontal rotation mechanism 10 to the installation platform 02, the angle of the installation platform 02 in the horizontal direction can be flexibly adjusted, so that the photovoltaic panel 01 fixed on the installation platform 02 can rotate in the horizontal direction accordingly. This allows the rotation angle of the photovoltaic panel 01 in the horizontal direction to be adjusted according to the changes in the position of the sun in the sky at different times, so that the photovoltaic panel 01 always receives sunlight at the optimal angle, maximizing the absorption efficiency of solar energy by the photovoltaic panel 01 and significantly increasing the power generation of the photovoltaic power generation system.

[0057] In one embodiment, the horizontal rotation mechanism 10 includes a housing 101, a connecting shaft 102, a first transmission gear 103, a second drive motor 104, and a second transmission gear 105. The housing 101 is fixed on the base 09. The connecting shaft 102 extends vertically, with one end rotatably disposed within the housing 101 and the other end fixedly connected to the mounting platform 02. The first transmission gear 103 is disposed within the housing 101 and sleeved on the outer periphery of the connecting shaft 102. The second drive motor 104 is fixed on the housing 101. The second transmission gear 105 is located within the housing 101, fixed on the drive end of the second drive motor 104, and meshes with the first transmission gear 103.

[0058] The housing 101 is fixed to the base 09, providing stable support and protection for the entire rotating mechanism, ensuring that the internal components are not disturbed by external factors during operation, and guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the mechanism. The connecting shaft 102 extends vertically, with one end rotatably mounted inside the housing 101 and the other end fixedly connected to the mounting platform 02. This combines the fixed support function of the housing 101 with the rotational requirements of the mounting platform 02, allowing the mounting platform 02 to rotate horizontally through the rotation of the connecting shaft 102. The first transmission gear 103 is disposed inside the housing 101 and sleeved on the outer circumference of the connecting shaft 102. The second transmission gear 105 is fixed on the drive end of the second drive motor 104 and meshes with the first transmission gear 103. The second drive motor 104 drives the second transmission gear 105 to rotate, thereby driving the first transmission gear 103 and the connecting shaft 102 to rotate, realizing the control of the horizontal rotation angle of the installation platform 02. It can flexibly adjust the angle of the photovoltaic panel 01 in the horizontal direction according to different environmental conditions, ensuring that the photovoltaic panel 01 always receives sunlight at the best angle, maximizing the absorption efficiency of solar energy, and improving the power generation and operating performance of the photovoltaic power generation system. At the same time, the mechanism is compact and reasonably designed, which helps to reduce the complexity of the system and maintenance costs.

[0059] In a specific embodiment, the housing 101 is provided with a first receiving cavity 1011 and a second receiving cavity 1012, and the first receiving cavity 1011 and the second receiving cavity 1012 are connected. The connecting shaft 102 and the first transmission gear 103 are both disposed in the first receiving cavity 1011. The second transmission gear 105 is disposed in the second receiving cavity 1012 and meshes with the first transmission gear 103. The second drive motor 104 is disposed on one side of the second receiving cavity 1012 and fixed on the housing 101, with the drive end extending into the second receiving cavity 1012 and connected to the second transmission gear 105.

[0060] In a specific embodiment, a second connecting seat 106 is fixedly connected to the top end of the connecting shaft 102, and the second connecting seat 106 is connected to the bottom of the mounting platform 02.

[0061] In one embodiment, a photosensor 11 is also included. The photosensor 11 is installed at the connection between the photovoltaic panel 01 and the pitch adjustment mechanism 04 and is communicatively connected to the control box 07.

[0062] By installing the photosensitive sensor 11 at the connection between the photovoltaic panel 01 and the pitch adjustment mechanism 04, the light intensity and direction information near the connection can be sensed in real time and accurately. This accurately reflects the lighting conditions at the location of the photovoltaic panel 01 and avoids measurement errors caused by improper installation. Through communication with the control box 07, the photosensitive sensor 11 can transmit the collected lighting data to the control box 07 in a timely and accurate manner. Based on the data from the photosensitive sensor 11, the control box 07 can control the pitch adjustment mechanism 04 and the horizontal rotation mechanism 10. By controlling the pitch adjustment mechanism 04, the pitch angle of the photovoltaic panel 01 can be adjusted in real time, ensuring that the photovoltaic panel 01 always maintains the most ideal incident angle with the sunlight. By controlling the horizontal rotation mechanism 10, the rotation angle of the photovoltaic panel 01 in the horizontal direction can be adjusted according to the changing position of the sun in the sky at different times, actively tracking the sunlight and maximizing the absorption and conversion efficiency of solar energy by the photovoltaic panel 01, significantly increasing the power generation of the photovoltaic power generation system. This reduces the need for manual intervention, lowers operation and maintenance costs, and also enhances the system's adaptability to different lighting environments.

[0063] In one embodiment, the control box 07 includes a box body, a battery, and a controller; the box body is fixed on the base 09; the battery is disposed in the box body and electrically connected to the pitch drive mechanism 03, the horizontal rotation mechanism 10, and the photovoltaic panel 01; the controller is disposed in the box body, electrically connected to the battery, and communicatively connected to the tilt angle sensor 05, the wind speed sensor 06, and the photosensor 11.

[0064] The enclosure is fixed to the base 09, providing a stable and safe installation environment for the internal components. This ensures that the components are not affected by external factors during operation, guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the system. The battery is housed inside the enclosure and electrically connected to the first drive motor 031, the second drive motor 104, and the photovoltaic panel 01. It can store the electrical energy converted from the photovoltaic panel 01, achieving effective energy storage. During periods when the photovoltaic panel 01 cannot provide power, such as when there is insufficient sunlight or at night, the battery supplies power to the first drive motor 031, the second drive motor 104, and other equipment, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the system. The controller is housed inside the enclosure and electrically connected to the battery. It is also communicatively connected to the tilt angle sensor 05, wind speed sensor 06, and light sensor 11. It can receive data from these sensors in real time and, through analysis and processing, control the operation of the first drive motor 031 and the second drive motor 104. This allows for the adjustment of the pitch and horizontal angles of the photovoltaic panel 01, ensuring that the panel always receives sunlight at the optimal angle, maximizing the absorption and conversion efficiency of solar energy, and enhancing the system's intelligence level.

[0065] In a specific implementation, the controller is a programmable logic controller.

[0066] In a specific embodiment, the storage battery is installed inside the box and is electrically connected to the first drive motor 031, the second drive motor 104 and the photovoltaic panel 01.

[0067] In a specific implementation, the photovoltaic panel 01 is first placed on the surface of the crossbeam 081. Then, the two sets of clamping members 082 are pushed closer to each other until they abut against both sides of the photovoltaic panel 01. Subsequently, bolts 0831 are passed through the connecting holes and connecting grooves 0812 and connected to nuts 0832 to fix the position of the clamping members 082. Then, the photosensitive sensor 11 senses the position information of the sun, the wind speed sensor 06 detects the wind speed at the installation site, and the tilt angle sensor 05 measures the current tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel 01. When the wind sensor detects that the wind speed is too high, the control box 07 controls the pitch adjustment mechanism 04 to lower the angle of the photovoltaic panel 01 to cope with the windy weather. Based on the position information of the sun sensed by the photosensitive sensor 11, and then based on the position information of the sun, the control box 07 controls the horizontal rotation mechanism 10 and the pitch adjustment mechanism 04 to adjust the photovoltaic panel 01 at different angles, so that the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel 01 gradually approaches and reaches the target angle to obtain the maximum amount of sunlight.
