Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic support technology, and in particular to a flexible photovoltaic support for mountainous areas. Background Technology

[0002] Flexible photovoltaic (PV) brackets are a type of PV support system that uses flexible materials, such as high-strength ropes, to replace traditional steel frames. Their core feature is that they do not require large-scale land leveling, making them suitable for irregular terrains such as mountains, slopes, and deserts. They reduce the use of steel, lower transportation and installation costs, and absorb wind loads and vibrations through flexible structures, reducing the risk of component damage.

[0003] The applicant's search revealed that many flexible photovoltaic supports currently only have their flexible ropes connected to the inclined beams. For example, patent number CN218301279U discloses a large-span photovoltaic support with a stable cable-stayed mechanism, which is such a structure. However, in this installation method, the crossbeam needs to withstand a large bending moment. If the crossbeam stiffness is insufficient, it may bend and deform. If the load is too heavy, the rope may wear or slip at the fixed point. If it is designed as a stay cable, in the traditional stay cable design, each rope is designed separately, and the overall strength is not high.

[0004] Therefore, the applicant proposed a flexible photovoltaic support system for mountainous terrain as a solution. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a flexible photovoltaic support for mountainous areas, which solves the problems mentioned in the background.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a flexible photovoltaic support for mountainous areas, including two sets of supports of different heights. A support plate is fixed to the top of the support, and a counterweight plate is fixedly connected to one side of the support. The counterweight plate has a concave design. Bolt plates are installed on both sides of the counterweight plate. A row of counterweight blocks is installed in the concave part of the top of the counterweight plate. A steel ring is provided on the top of the counterweight block. An anchor rod at the top of the counterweight plate passes through the counterweight block, and a pressure sleeve is threaded to the top of the anchor rod. The pressure sleeve is tightly pressed against the counterweight block. A convex plate is integrally connected to both sides of the counterweight block. A U-shaped block is engaged at the top of the counterweight plate. The side of the U-shaped block is tightly fitted with the adjacent U-shaped block, the concave side of the counterweight plate, and the counterweight block. Bolt holes are provided on both sides of the U-shaped block, and the bottom surface of the U-shaped block is also engaged and in contact with the convex plate.

[0007] Preferably, a U-shaped plate is nailed to the top of the counterweight plate, and a reinforcing inclined plate is fixedly connected between the U-shaped plate and the bracket. A crossbeam is fixed to the inner side of the reinforcing inclined plate, and both the crossbeam and the reinforcing inclined plate are nailed to the bracket.

[0008] Preferably, a square insert is fixed to the bottom of the counterweight, and the insert is inserted from the socket at the top of the counterweight plate.

[0009] Preferably, a circular insert rod is fixed to the bottom of the U-shaped block, and the circular insert rod is inserted into the circular holes on the surface of the convex plate and the counterweight plate.

[0010] Preferably, a clamping plate is bolted to the top of the support plate, and a semi-circular groove is provided between the clamping plate and the support plate, through which a flexible rope passes.

[0011] Preferably, the counterweight plate has two reinforcing ribs inside, and the reinforcing ribs are located on both sides of the circular insert rod and the insert block.

[0012] Compared with related technologies, the flexible photovoltaic support for mountainous areas provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0013] In use, this invention involves assembling two sets of support plates using brackets, then installing counterweight plates on one side of the brackets on both sides. Next, counterweight blocks are placed equidistantly on the counterweight plates, and anchor rods are passed through the counterweight blocks. The pressure sleeves are then installed and tightened. A rope is then passed through the top of the support plate and fixed to a steel ring for reinforcement. The bolt plate is then fixed to the ground using reinforcing bolts. A row of U-shaped blocks is installed on the counterweight plates to reinforce and fix the counterweight blocks, improving stability. Finally, the photovoltaic panels are installed on the flexible ropes. This creates a diagonal rope design with higher support strength and greater stability and safety compared to traditional single-connection points.

[0014] This utility model provides a flexible photovoltaic bracket for mountainous areas. In the optimized design of the positioning component, the small pulley makes the sliding between the positioning rod and the arc groove smoother, while the soft pad prevents the positioning rod from directly contacting the bottle body and causing damage, and also plays a good anti-slip role. At the same time, the positioning ring block is rotatably connected to the turbine ring block through a steel ball to form a bearing-like structure, which makes the turbine ring block rotate very stably and will not deviate.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Depend on Figures 1-6 The present invention includes two sets of supports 1 of different heights. A support plate 11 is fixed to the top of the support 1. A counterweight plate 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the support 1. The counterweight plate 2 has a concave design. Bolt plates 20 are installed on both sides of the counterweight plate 2. A row of counterweight blocks 21 are installed in the concave part of the top of the counterweight plate 2. A steel ring 22 is provided on the top of the counterweight block 21. An anchor rod 23 at the top of the counterweight plate 2 passes through the counterweight block 21, and a pressure sleeve 24 is threadedly connected to the top of the anchor rod 23. The pressure sleeve 24 is tightly pressed against the counterweight block 21. A convex plate 27 is integrally connected to both sides of the counterweight block 21. A U-shaped block 28 is engaged at the top of the counterweight plate 2. The side of the U-shaped block 28 is tightly fitted with the adjacent U-shaped block 28, the concave side of the counterweight plate 2, and the counterweight block 21. Bolt holes are provided on both sides of the U-shaped block 28, and the bottom surface of the U-shaped block 28 is also engaged and in contact with the convex plate 27.

[0024] Based on the above description, when using this device, the two sets of support plates 11 are assembled using brackets 1. Then, counterweight plates 2 are installed on one side of the brackets 1 on both sides. Next, counterweight blocks 21 are placed equidistantly on the counterweight plates 2, and anchor rods 23 pass through the counterweight blocks 21. At this point, pressure sleeves 24 are installed and tightened. Then, ropes are passed through the top of the support plates 11 and fixedly connected to the steel rings 22. After reinforcement, bolt plates 20 are fixed to the ground with reinforcing bolts. Then, a row of U-shaped blocks 28 are installed on the counterweight plates 2. The U-shaped blocks 28 are fixed to the ground with bolts, which not only enhances the stability of the counterweight plates 2, but also simultaneously engages and presses with the protruding plates 27 on both sides of the counterweight blocks 21, reinforcing and fixing the counterweight blocks 21 and improving stability. Finally, photovoltaic panels are installed on the flexible ropes. Note that rigid rods can also be installed between the flexible ropes, which is an existing design and will not be elaborated here. This forms a diagonal rope design with higher support strength and higher stability and safety compared to the traditional single connection point.

[0025] A U-shaped plate is nailed to the top of the counterweight plate 2. A reinforcing inclined plate 25 is fixedly connected between the U-shaped plate and the bracket 1. A crossbeam 26 is fixed to the inner side of the reinforcing inclined plate 25. Both the crossbeam 26 and the reinforcing inclined plate 25 are nailed to the bracket 1.

[0026] Based on the above description, in the further optimization design of the stability of the counterweight plate 2, the reinforcing inclined plate 25 can be clamped at both ends of the top of the counterweight plate 2 by a U-shaped plate, and then the reinforcing inclined plate 25 and the crossbeam 26 are nailed to the bracket 1. In this way, the counterweight plate 2 is not only fixed to the ground by the U-shaped block 28 and the bolt plate 20, but also forms a stable connection with the bracket 1 by the reinforcing inclined plate 25 and the crossbeam 26, so that its own stability is better.

[0027] A square insert 210 is fixed to the bottom of the counterweight block 21, and the insert 210 is inserted into the socket at the top of the counterweight plate 2. A circular insert 29 is fixed to the bottom of the U-shaped block 28, and the circular insert 29 is inserted into the round hole on the surface of the protruding plate 27 and the counterweight plate 2. Two reinforcing ribs 211 are provided inside the counterweight plate 2, and the reinforcing ribs 211 are located on both sides of the circular insert 29 and the insert 210.

[0028] Based on the above description, the insert 210 and the circular insert 29 further improve the tightness of the connection between the counterweight plate 2, the counterweight block 21 and the U-shaped block 28. However, the design of multiple holes and openings reduces the strength of the counterweight plate 2. Therefore, as compensation, two reinforcing ribs 211 are inserted inside the counterweight plate 2, which effectively improves the strength of the counterweight plate 2 itself. This is very practical and avoids bending due to excessive tension.

[0029] A clamping plate 12 is bolted to the top of the support plate 11. A semi-circular groove is provided between the clamping plate 12 and the support plate 11. A flexible rope passes through the groove formed by the two semi-circular grooves.

[0030] Finally, when laying the rope, the rope is located in the semi-circular groove at the top of the support plate 11. Before installing the photovoltaic panel, the pressure plate 12 can be covered to limit the rope through the groove formed by the two semi-circular grooves, thereby improving the limiting effect.

[0031] Working principle: First, two sets of brackets 1 of different heights are fixedly installed on the mountain slope and anchored to the ground by bolts 20 of the counterweight plate 2. During installation, counterweight blocks 21 are arranged at equal intervals in the grooves of the counterweight plate 2, and anchor rods 23 are passed through the counterweight blocks 21 and locked in place by pressure sleeves 24. Then, U-shaped blocks 28 are snapped onto the top of the counterweight plate 2, so that they fit tightly against the protruding plates 27 on both sides of the counterweight blocks 21, and are further reinforced by bolts.

[0032] The support system ensures stability through a multi-level reinforced structure. The counterweight plate 2 is not only fixed to the ground by the U-shaped block 28 and the bolt plate 20, but also forms a rigid connection with the support 1 by the reinforced inclined plate 25 and the crossbeam 26. The insert block 210 at the bottom of the counterweight block 21 and the circular insert rod 29 at the bottom of the U-shaped block 28 are respectively inserted into the corresponding insert and circular hole of the counterweight plate 2, which, together with the internal reinforcing rib 211, enhance the overall structural strength.

[0033] During photovoltaic module installation, flexible ropes pass through the semi-circular groove at the top of the support plate 11 and are secured by the clamping plate 12. The other end is connected to the steel ring 22 of the counterweight block 21, forming a slanted support structure. This design allows the photovoltaic panels to adapt to mountainous terrain, while the counterweight system and multiple reinforcement structures ensure stability in harsh environments such as strong winds. The entire system achieves rapid installation through modular design and allows for adjustment of the support height and rope tension according to the terrain to achieve optimal photovoltaic panel support.
