Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of floating photovoltaic technology, and specifically refers to a connected floating photovoltaic installation structure. Background Technology
[0002] Floating photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems are a new type of energy system that utilizes water surface space for photovoltaic power generation. However, traditional floating PV installation structures often suffer from problems such as complex installation, poor stability, and difficult maintenance, which limit the widespread application of floating PV power generation systems.
[0003] In existing floating photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems, the main floats supporting the PV panels are generally designed individually, meaning each float houses only one PV panel. Adjacent floats are connected and fixed together using plastic bolts to form a PV matrix. This connection method requires high labor costs for installation, and the plastic bolts may age and loosen in the long-term aquatic environment, affecting the stability and durability of the entire PV power generation system. Furthermore, shading between PV panels severely impacts photoelectric conversion efficiency. Current technologies typically reduce shading by increasing the spacing between panels, but this leads to a decrease in installed density, further exacerbating the problem of land scarcity. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a connected floating photovoltaic installation structure to solve the problems existing in the prior art. It can improve the structural stability between adjacent photovoltaic panels, reduce the shading distance between panels, prevent photovoltaic panels from shading each other, and improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of this utility model is:
[0006] A connected floating photovoltaic installation structure includes a connected main float, a pair of first support legs, a pair of second support legs, a pair of third support legs, and two photovoltaic panels. First mounting points are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the ends of the connected main float, and second mounting points are symmetrically arranged on both sides of its middle section. The first and third support legs are respectively mounted on the first mounting points at both ends of the connected main float. The second support leg is mounted on the second mounting point in the middle of the connected main float. The frames of the two photovoltaic panels are respectively fixed to the first and second support legs, and the second and third support legs, by clamping blocks. Adjacent sides of the two photovoltaic panels share a second support leg for installation.
[0007] The first installation point and the second installation point are steps located at the end and middle of the connected main float, respectively, and the step surface is lower than the upper surface of the connected main float.
[0008] The main buoy is provided with two symmetrically arranged hollow windows along its length, and the two side walls of the hollow windows are connected by reinforcing ribs along their length.
[0009] The two ends of the integrated main float are each provided with a pair of connecting lugs.
[0010] The first and third support legs are identical parts and are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the main body; the upper surface of the second support leg has two symmetrical inclined surfaces; the two photovoltaic panels form a symmetrical isosceles structure after installation.
[0011] Preferably, the upper ends of the first support leg and the third support leg are each equipped with a side pressure block for fixing the corresponding photovoltaic panel frame, and the upper end of the second support leg is equipped with two side pressure blocks for fixing the adjacent sides of the two photovoltaic panel frames respectively.
[0012] The upper surfaces of the first support leg, the second support leg, and the third support leg are provided with inclined planes of the same slope, and the inclined planes of the three are coplanar; the two photovoltaic panels are inclined in the same direction after installation.
[0013] Preferably, the upper ends of the first support leg and the third support leg are each equipped with a side pressure block for fixing the corresponding photovoltaic panel frame, and the upper end of the second support leg is equipped with a middle pressure block for fixing the adjacent sides of the two photovoltaic panel frames.
[0014] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following technical effects:
[0015] This invention enables intensive photovoltaic power generation on water. The integrated main float design allows for the installation of two photovoltaic panels on the same main float, saving installation time and material costs associated with plastic bolt connections, reducing the risk of loosening, and creating a better linkage and control effect, thus enhancing the overall structural stability and anti-aging capabilities of the photovoltaic matrix. The two photovoltaic panels share a second support leg located in the middle of the integrated main float, resulting in a denser arrangement of the panels, reducing the spacing between panel shadows, lowering the shadow shading rate, and increasing the installation density. Furthermore, this invention allows for different angles of the photovoltaic panels by replacing different support legs, enabling symmetrical or asymmetrical arrangements, making installation more flexible and adaptable to different aquatic environments and lighting conditions.

Detailed Implementation
[0026] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided through specific embodiments.
[0027] refer to Figure 1-8 As shown, this utility model discloses a one-piece floating photovoltaic installation structure, including a one-piece main float 1, a pair of first support legs 2, a pair of second support legs 3, a pair of third support legs 4, and two photovoltaic panels 5;
[0028] The main buoy 1 has first mounting points 11 symmetrically arranged on both sides of its ends, and second mounting points 12 symmetrically arranged on both sides of its middle part;
[0029] The first support leg 2 and the third support leg 4 are respectively installed on the first mounting points 11 at both ends of the main body 1; the second support leg 3 is installed on the second mounting point 12 in the middle of the main body 1.
[0030] The frames of the two photovoltaic panels 5 are fixed to the first support leg 2 and the second support leg 3, and the second support leg 3 and the third support leg 4 respectively by pressure blocks. The adjacent sides of the two photovoltaic panels 5 share the second support leg 3 to achieve installation.
[0031] Through the above solution, the application of the present utility model can complete intensive power generation of floating photovoltaics; the design of the连体主浮体1 can install two photovoltaic panels on the same main floating body, which not only saves the installation time and material cost of plastic bolt connection, but also reduces the loosening risk, and can produce a better linkage restriction effect, realizing the enhancement of the overall structural stability and anti-aging ability of the photovoltaic matrix; the two photovoltaic panels 5 share the second support leg 3 located in the middle of the连体主浮体1, making the arrangement of the photovoltaic panels 5 more dense, realizing the reduction of the shadow spacing between panels, the reduction of the shadow occlusion rate, and the increase of the installed capacity density. In addition, the present utility model can meet the requirements of different angles of the photovoltaic panels by replacing different support legs, so as to realize the symmetrical or asymmetrical arrangement of the photovoltaic panels, and the installation is more flexible, so as to adapt to different water environments and lighting conditions.

[0033] The above first installation point 11 and second installation point 12 are steps located at the ends and the middle position of the连体主浮体1 respectively, and the step surface is lower than the upper surface of the连体主浮体1, so that the head of the bolt will not be higher than the upper surface of the连体主浮体1 after the first support leg 2 / second support leg 3 / third support leg 4 is locked with bolts.
[0034] The above连体主浮体1 presents a日字形in the俯视角, that is, two hollow windows 13 are symmetrically arranged in its length direction, and a reinforcing rib 14 is connected between the two side walls in the length direction of the hollow window 13. Thus, the weight and cost of the连体主浮体1 can be reduced through the hollow window 13, and the buoyancy can be increased; the reinforcing rib 14 can ensure the overall structural strength after the连体主浮体1 is hollowed out.
[0035] A pair of connecting ears 15 are provided on both end faces of the above连体主浮体1 for connecting adjacent连体主浮体1s.
[0036] Refer to Figure 4-6 shown, which shows the first embodiment of the present utility model.
[0037] The above first support leg 2 and third support leg 4 are the same parts and are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the连体主浮体1; two symmetrically arranged inclined surfaces are provided on the upper surface of the second support leg 3; the two photovoltaic panels 5 are arranged in a left-right symmetric isosceles structure after installation.
[0038] Furthermore, a side pressure block 6 for fixing the frame of the corresponding photovoltaic panel 5 is installed at the upper end of each of the above first support leg 2 and third support leg 4, and two side pressure blocks 6 for fixing the adjacent sides of the frames of the two photovoltaic panels 5 are installed at the upper end of the second support leg 3.
[0039] Refer to Figure 7-8 It should be noted that the Chinese terms "连体主浮体" and "日字形" need to be further defined or translated more accurately according to the specific context. Here, literal translations are used for the time.As shown, a second embodiment of the present invention is illustrated.
[0040] The upper surfaces of the first support leg 2, the second support leg 3, and the third support leg 4 are provided with inclined planes of the same slope, and the inclined planes of the three are coplanar; the two photovoltaic panels 5 are inclined in the same direction after installation.
