Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic power station maintenance tools, and in particular to a U-shaped internal hexagon tool for replacing intermediate components of a photovoltaic array. Background Technology

[0002] In ground-mounted photovoltaic power stations, photovoltaic modules are typically installed in an array at a certain angle, with the modules fixed together by clamps and screws.

[0003] However, when the photovoltaic module in the middle is damaged, it is necessary to remove the screws on the pressure block between the photovoltaic modules. The current operation requires one worker to stand above the photovoltaic module to lock the screw head, and another worker to tighten the nut below. This poses a certain danger to the worker above, and the worker's weight can also cause the photovoltaic module to bear a large load and face the risk of damage. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a U-shaped hexagonal tool for replacing intermediate components of a photovoltaic array, which solves the problem of needing to lock the screw head on the photovoltaic module to remove the screw.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a U-shaped internal hexagon tool for replacing intermediate components of a photovoltaic array, including a U-shaped main frame, a long arm, a short arm parallel to the long arm, and a connecting part connecting the long arm and the short arm. A chuck head matching the countersunk groove of a screw is provided on one side of the short arm, and an anti-slip rubber sleeve is provided below the long arm.

[0006] In the preferred embodiment, an anti-slip groove is provided below the long arm, and an anti-slip rubber sleeve is fitted onto the anti-slip groove.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, a rotatable reflector is also provided on the side of the long arm away from the anti-slip groove.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, a fixed ball is provided on the long arm, a fixed frame is provided behind the reflector, a support rod is provided on the fixed frame, a space for receiving the rotating ball is provided inside the support rod, and a fixing component is provided on the surface of the support rod.

[0009] In the preferred embodiment, the U-shaped main frame is made of aluminum alloy, and the length of the short arm of the U-shaped main frame is in the range of 15-20cm.

[0010] In the preferred embodiment, the chuck is made of spring steel and electroplated for rust prevention, with a chuck depth of 5-8mm.

[0011] In the preferred embodiment, a screwdriver sleeve is provided at the front end of the chuck.

[0012] The beneficial effect of this utility model is that, when using it, the worker only needs to pass the tool through the gap between the photovoltaic modules from below, then insert the chuck into the groove of the screw to prevent the screw from rotating, and then use a wrench to tighten the nut at the bottom of the screw to unscrew the screw, thus solving the problem that the worker does not need to go above the photovoltaic modules to lock the screw.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] Please see Figure 1-2 As shown, the present application provides a technical solution: a U-shaped hexagonal tool for replacing intermediate components of a photovoltaic array, including a U-shaped main frame, the U-shaped main frame having a long arm 11, a short arm 12 parallel to the long arm 11 and a connecting part 13 connecting the long arm 11 and the short arm 12, a chuck 15 matching the countersunk groove of a screw is provided on one side of the short arm 12, and an anti-slip rubber sleeve 14 is provided below the long arm 11.

[0018] When working in this way, the worker simply passes the tool through the gap between the photovoltaic modules 24 from below, then inserts the chuck 15 into the groove of the screw 23 above the pressure block 25 to prevent the screw 23 from rotating, and then uses a wrench to loosen the nut under the screw 23, and finally removes the screw 23.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, an anti-slip groove 111 is provided below the long arm 11, and an anti-slip rubber sleeve 14 is fitted onto the anti-slip groove 111.

[0020] This makes it less likely for your hand to slip when you hold it on the anti-slip rubber sleeve 14, which can be made of rubber.

[0021] A fish-scale-like texture can also be set on the surface of the anti-slip rubber sleeve 14 to further improve the roughness of the surface of the anti-slip rubber sleeve 14.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, a rotatable reflector 17 is also provided on the side of the long arm 11 away from the anti-slip groove 111.

[0023] The purpose of setting up the reflector 17 is to facilitate observation of the position of the chuck 15 from below, so that the chuck 15 can be aligned with the countersunk groove of the screw.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, a fixed ball 18 is provided on the long arm 11, a fixed frame 19 is provided behind the reflector 17, a support rod 21 is provided on the fixed frame 19, a space 211 for accommodating the rotating ball is provided inside the support rod 21, and a fastener 22 is provided on the surface of the support rod 21.

[0025] In this way, the reflector 17 can rotate around the fixed ball 18, and then the position of the reflector 17 can be fixed by the fixing member 22. Threads can be provided on the surface of the support rod 21, and internal threads can be provided on the fixing member 22. The two are fixed by rotating through the threads. In use, first insert the fixed ball 18 into the receiving space 211 on the support rod 21, and then rotate the fixing member 22 to lock the position of the reflector 17, similar to the rotation of a mobile phone holder.

[0026] In the preferred embodiment, the U-shaped main frame is made of aluminum alloy, and the length of the short arm 12 of the U-shaped main frame is in the range of 15-20cm.

[0027] In the preferred embodiment, the chuck 15 is made of spring steel and is electroplated for rust prevention, with a depth of 5-8mm.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, a screwdriver sleeve 16 is provided at the front end of the chuck head 15.

[0029] The screwdriver socket 16 is a standard external component that can be purchased directly. When using it, fix one end of the screwdriver socket 16 to the chuck, and the other end can be replaced with different models of internal or external hex wrenches to match the disassembly of screws of different sizes and specifications.
