Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of photovoltaic technology, and in particular to a flexible support system. Background Technology

[0002] Solar energy, as a continuous source of green energy, plays a crucial role in the sustainable development strategies of countries worldwide, and generating electricity through solar panels is an important way to utilize solar energy. A photovoltaic power station consists of photovoltaic modules and a support system. The support system is mounted on an installation platform, and multiple photovoltaic modules are installed on the support system.

[0003] In related technologies, support systems are divided into rigid support systems and flexible support systems. The connectors of rigid support systems are rigid purlins, while the connectors of flexible support systems are cables. Compared with rigid support systems, flexible support systems can meet larger span requirements and adapt to more installation scenarios.

[0004] However, the existing flexible support system is just a replacement of rigid purlins with cables. The flexible support system lacks the design of a wind-resistant system and its wind resistance performance is weak. The flexible support will generate large-amplitude vibrations irregularly, which will not only cause mechanical damage to photovoltaic modules, accelerate their aging process, and reduce power generation efficiency and service life, but may also cause the support structure to loosen and deform. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a flexible support system and photovoltaic power station to address the problem of poor seismic performance of existing flexible support systems.

[0006] A flexible support system, the flexible support system comprising:

[0007] The base includes multiple interconnected beams and multiple purlins;

[0008] A cable, which extends along the length of the purlin or the beam, and the end of the cable is connected to the base or the mounting platform;

[0009] A first connecting component is provided, wherein one of the purlin and the beam extends in the same direction as the cable, and the first connecting component connects the other of the purlin and the beam to the cable;

[0010] The second connecting component is connected to the cable and is used to install the photovoltaic module;

[0011] A damper is provided at least one end of the cable.

[0012] In one embodiment, the cable extends along the length of the purlin;

[0013] The first connecting assembly includes a support member and a first clamping member connected to each other. The support member is disposed on the beam, and the first clamping member is disposed on the support member and clamps the cable.

[0014] In one embodiment, the first clamping member includes two first clamps disposed opposite to each other and a first fastener for locking the two clamps, and the two first clamps are respectively provided with a first limiting groove for accommodating the cable on the side that is close to each other.

[0015] In one embodiment, the second connection component includes a second clamping member and a second fastener, the second clamping member clamping the cable and the second fastener locking the second clamping member and the frame of the photovoltaic module.

[0016] In one embodiment, the second clamping member includes:

[0017] A second clamp and a third clamp are arranged opposite to each other, the second clamp is disposed between the third clamp and the frame, and the second fastener locks the second clamp and the frame;

[0018] The third fastener connects the second clamp and the third clamp;

[0019] The second limiting groove is provided on the side of the second clamp and the third clamp that are close to each other, for accommodating the cable.

[0020] In one embodiment, the dimension of the second clamp along the length of the cable is greater than the dimension of the third clamp along the length of the cable.

[0021] In one embodiment, the second connecting assembly further includes a first flexible adjustment member clamped between the frame and the second clamp; and / or,

[0022] The second connecting assembly further includes a second flexible adjustment member, which is clamped between the nut of the second fastener and the frame.

[0023] In one embodiment, the cable extends along the length of the beam;

[0024] The first connecting assembly includes a third clamping member, a first U-shaped clamping bolt, and a first nut. The third clamping member clamps the cable, the first U-shaped clamping bolt is sleeved on the purlin and passes through the third clamping member, and the first nut is threadedly connected to the first U-shaped clamping bolt and abuts against the side of the third clamping member away from the purlin.

[0025] In one embodiment, the second connecting component includes a second U-shaped clamp bolt and a second nut. The second U-shaped clamp bolt is sleeved on the cable and passes through the frame of the photovoltaic module. The second nut is threadedly connected to the second U-shaped clamp bolt and abuts against the frame of the photovoltaic module.

[0026] In one embodiment, a connection structure is further included, the connection structure comprising a fixing member and an mounting member, the fixing member being connected to the beam, the purlin, or the mounting platform, and the mounting member being connected to the support member and the cable head of the cable.

[0027] The aforementioned flexible support system features a base formed by multiple beams and purlins connected to create a grid-like rigid frame, increasing the overall rigidity of the system. Cables can extend along the length of the beams or purlins, with their ends connected to the base or mounting platform, allowing for flexible adjustment of the cable arrangement according to the site terrain. The first connecting component dynamically selects the connection object based on the cable extension direction: connecting the cable and purlin when the cable extends along the beam, and connecting the cable and beam when the cable extends along the purlin, forming a triangular stable force-bearing system of "beam-purlin-cable". When wind forces act, the load can be evenly distributed to the entire base through this system, preventing structural instability caused by single-point stress. A second connecting component connects the cables and photovoltaic modules, allowing the photovoltaic modules to be installed on the flexible support system. Furthermore, a damper is installed at at least one end of each cable, which absorbs the vibration energy generated by wind loads through a damping mechanism, converting irregular large-amplitude vibrations into controllable small-amplitude decaying motions.

[0028] The flexible support system of this application forms a rigid-flexible system with a rigid frame at the base and flexible connections between the cables. This retains the advantages of a large span in a flexible support system while enhancing wind resistance stability through a rigid base. Whether the cables extend along the beam or the purlins, the system can achieve stable connections through corresponding connecting components, making it suitable for various photovoltaic power station scenarios such as plains, mountains, and water surfaces.

[0047] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0048] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0049] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0050] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0051] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0052] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0053] This application provides a flexible support system, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the flexible support system includes a base 100, a cable 200, a first connecting assembly 300, a second connecting assembly 400, and a damper. The base 100 includes multiple beams 110 and multiple purlins 120, which are connected to form the base 100. The cable 200 extends along the length of either the beam 110 or the purlin 120, and its end is connected to the base 100 or the mounting platform. One of the purlins 120 and the beams 110 extends in the same direction as the cable 200. The first connecting assembly 300 connects the other of the purlins 120 and the beams 110 to the cable 200. The second connecting assembly 400 is connected to the cable 200 and is used to install the photovoltaic module 700. At least one end of the cable 200 is provided with a damper.

[0054] The aforementioned flexible support system comprises a base 100 formed by multiple beams 110 and purlins 120 connected to form a grid-like rigid frame, increasing the overall rigidity of the system. Cables 200 can extend along the length of the beams 110 or purlins 120, with their ends connected to the base 100 or an installation platform, allowing the system to flexibly adjust the cable 200's orientation according to the site terrain. The first connecting component 300 dynamically selects the connection object based on the cable 200's extension direction. When the cable 200 extends along the beam 110, it connects to the purlins 120; when it extends along the purlins 120, it connects to the beam 110, forming a stable force-bearing system of "beam 110 - purlin 120 - cable 200". When wind forces act, the load can be evenly distributed throughout the base 100 via this system, preventing structural instability caused by single-point stress. The cable 200 and the photovoltaic module 700 are connected by a second connecting component 400, and the photovoltaic module 700 is installed on the flexible support system. In addition, a damper is provided at at least one end of the cable 200, which can absorb the vibration energy generated by wind load through the damping mechanism, and convert irregular large-amplitude vibrations into controllable small-amplitude decaying motions.

[0055] The flexible support system of this application forms a rigid-flexible system with the rigid frame of the base 100 and the flexible connection of the cables 200. This system retains the advantage of the large span of the flexible support system while improving wind resistance stability through the rigid base 100. Whether the cables 200 extend along the beam 110 or the purlins 120, the system can achieve stable connection through corresponding connecting components, making it suitable for various photovoltaic power station scenarios such as plains, mountains, and water surfaces.

[0056] It should be noted that the installation platform provides a stable mounting surface and load-bearing support for the flexible support system. When the cable 200 cannot be directly connected to the base 100 (e.g., due to structural limitations of the base 100 or insufficient installation space), the end of the cable 200 can be fixed to the installation platform through the connecting structure 600. For example, in a photovoltaic power station, the installation platform may be a concrete foundation of a building roof, a steel structure bracket, or other independent support structure.

[0057] It should be noted that either the purlin 120 or the beam 110 extends in the same direction as the cable 200, and the first connecting component 300 connects the other of the purlin 120 and the beam 110 to the cable 200. That is, when the cable 200 extends along the length of the beam 110, the first connecting component 300 connects the cable 200 to the purlin 120; when the cable 200 extends along the length of the purlin 120, the first connecting component 300 connects the cable 200 to the beam 110.

[0058] In Example 1:

[0059] like Figure 1As shown, the base 100 also includes a diagonal brace 130, the end of which is connected to the junction of the purlin 120 and the beam 110.

[0060] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the beam 110 is connected to the purlin 120 via a connecting plate 140. The connecting plate 140 has a number of elongated holes depending on the force applied, and the purlin 120 is connected to the beam 110 via bolts or other fasteners passing through the elongated holes.

[0061] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the cable 200 extends along the length of the purlin 120; the first connecting assembly 300 includes a support member 310 and a first clamping member 320 connected together. The support member 310 is disposed on the beam 110, and the first clamping member 320 is disposed on the support member 310 and clamps the cable 200. Extending the cable 200 along the length of the purlin 120 allows for a more reasonable distribution of the load generated by the photovoltaic module 700, ensuring that the load is evenly transferred to the beam 110 structure of the base 100 through the cable 200. This enhances the structural stability of the entire flexible support system and effectively reduces the risk of structural deformation or damage due to uneven local stress. The design of placing the support member 310 on the beam 110 and the first clamping member 320 on the support member 310, and using the first clamping member 320 to clamp the cable 200, allows for precise control of the tension of the cable 200 during installation, ensuring that the cable 200 provides the best support effect. Furthermore, if the cable 200 becomes loose during system use, it can be quickly adjusted or maintained using the first clamping member 320, greatly improving the maintainability of the system.

[0062] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the first clamping member 320 includes two first clamps 321 arranged opposite to each other and a first fastener 322 for locking the two clamps. The two first clamps 321 each have a first limiting groove on their sides that are close to each other, for accommodating the cable 200. The two opposing first clamps 321 are locked together by the first fastener 322, forming a closed clamping structure surrounding the cable 200. Compared with the single-sided clamping or binding methods in the prior art, this provides more uniform circumferential pressure. Furthermore, the symmetrical clamping design effectively prevents the cable 200 from sliding under wind vibration. In addition, the arc-shaped design of the first limiting groove perfectly fits the outer surface of the cable 200, not only avoiding the sharp angles of traditional rigid clamps from causing cutting damage to the cable 200, but also increasing the contact area between the cable 200 and the clamps. When subjected to dynamic wind loads, the load can be distributed and transmitted through a larger contact area, avoiding fatigue failure caused by localized stress concentration.

[0063] In this embodiment, as Figure 4As shown, the first clamping member 320 also includes a first gasket 323, which is clamped between the two first clamps 321.

[0064] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the second connecting assembly 400 includes a second clamping member 410 and a second fastener 420. The second clamping member 410 clamps the cable 200, and the second fastener 420 locks the second clamping member 410 and the frame 720 of the photovoltaic module 700. The clamping action of the second clamping member 410 on the cable 200 can firmly connect the photovoltaic module 700 and the cable 200, forming a stable force transmission path. This allows the cable 200 to efficiently bear the external forces on the photovoltaic module 700 in complex environments and evenly distribute them to the base 100, effectively improving the wind and earthquake resistance of the entire system and reducing the risk of damage to the photovoltaic module 700 due to loose connections.

[0065] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, the second clamping member 410 includes:

[0066] The second clamp 411 and the third clamp 412 are arranged opposite to each other. The second clamp 411 is located between the third clamp 412 and the frame 720. The second fastener 420 locks the second clamp 411 and the frame 720.

[0067] The third fastener 413 connects the second clamp 411 and the third clamp 412;

[0068] The second limiting groove, the second clamp 411 and the third clamp 412 are respectively provided on the side close to each other for accommodating the cable 200.

[0069] The second clamp 411 and the third clamp 412 form a closed structure that surrounds the cable 200 through the third fastener 413, increasing the contact area between the second clamping member 410 and the cable 200. Furthermore, by setting the second limiting groove, the contact area between the second clamping member 410 and the cable 200 is further increased, improving the clamping effect.

[0070] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, the second clamping member 410 also includes a second gasket 414, which is clamped between the second clamp 411 and the third clamp 412.

[0071] In this embodiment, as Figure 6As shown, the dimension of the second clamp 411 along the length of the cable 200 is larger than that of the third clamp 412 along the length of the cable 200. The larger dimension of the second clamp 411 along the length of the cable 200 shifts the contact area between the cable 200 and the frame 720 towards the frame 720, forming a gradient force transmission path of "frame 720 - second clamp 411 - cable 200," thus preventing cable 200 breakage or frame 720 deformation due to stress concentration. Furthermore, when the cable 200 is subjected to wind-induced vibration loads, the larger second clamp 411 provides a longer force arm, converting the lateral force of the cable 200 into uniform pressure on the frame 720.

[0072] In addition, since the second clamp 411 is larger than the third clamp 412, the tension can be judged by observing the relative position of the two during installation (e.g., the length of the second clamp 411 protruding from the frame 720 should be consistent).

[0073] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, the second connecting assembly 400 also includes a first flexible adjustment member 430, which is clamped between the frame 720 and the second clamp 411. The first flexible adjustment member 430, clamped between the frame 720 and the second clamp 411, can absorb the high-frequency vibration energy of the photovoltaic module 700 through elastic deformation.

[0074] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, the second connecting assembly 400 also includes a second flexible adjustment member 440, which is clamped between the nut of the second fastener 420 and the frame 720. The second flexible adjustment member 440, clamped between the nut of the second fastener 420 and the frame 720, compensates for the dynamic loss of bolt preload through elastic restoring force.

[0075] In this embodiment, the first flexible adjusting member 430 is clamped between the frame 720 and the second clamp 411, and the second flexible adjusting member 440 is clamped between the nut of the second fastener 420 and the frame 720, that is, in Figure 6 From this perspective, the second flexible adjustment member 440 is attached to the inner bottom wall of the frame 720, the first flexible adjustment member 430 is attached to the outer bottom wall of the frame 720, and the second flexible adjustment member 440 and the first flexible adjustment member 430 clamp the bottom wall of the frame 720.

[0076] In this embodiment, both the first flexible adjusting member 430 and the second flexible adjusting member 440 are gaskets. In other embodiments, the first flexible adjusting member 430 and the second flexible adjusting member 440 can be selected according to actual operation needs, as long as they can have elastic deformation, such as rubber pads, spring washers or wave washers.

[0077] In this embodiment, please return Figure 3 The flexible support system also includes a third connecting component 500, which connects the cable 200 and the frame 720. The third connecting component 500 and the second connecting component 400 may have the same or different structures. The third connecting component 500 further enhances the installation stability of the photovoltaic module 700.

[0078] In this embodiment, the first fastener and the third fastener are screws, and the second fastener includes a screw and nut.

[0079] In Example 2:

[0080] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the cable 200 extends along the length of the beam 110; the first connecting assembly 300 includes a third clamping member 330, a first U-shaped clamping bolt 340, and a first nut 350. The third clamping member 330 clamps the cable 200, the first U-shaped clamping bolt 340 is sleeved on the purlin 120 and passes through the third clamping member 330, and the first nut 350 is threadedly connected to the first U-shaped clamping bolt 340 and abuts against the side of the third clamping member 330 away from the purlin 120.

[0081] The third clamping member 330 provides strong clamping to the cable 200. Combined with the first U-shaped clamping bolt 340 fitted onto the purlin 120 and passing through the third clamping member 330, and the first nut 350 abutting against it, a stable and reliable connection system is formed. This effectively limits the displacement or loosening of the cable 200 under stress, ensuring a secure connection between the cable 200 and the purlin 120. This enhances the structural strength and stability of the entire flexible support system, allowing it to maintain reliable support performance even when subjected to the load of the photovoltaic module 700 and external environmental forces (such as strong winds and vibrations). Furthermore, the U-shaped clamping bolt's design facilitates installation and disassembly. Construction workers can quickly complete the connection and fixation of the cable 200 and the purlin 120 through simple bolt tightening operations, eliminating the need for complex installation tools and processes. This greatly improves construction efficiency and reduces installation difficulty and labor costs.

[0082] In addition, this structural design ensures that the connection force between the cable 200 and the purlin 120 is evenly distributed, effectively avoiding damage to the structure caused by local stress concentration, extending the service life of the flexible support system, and ensuring the stable operation of the photovoltaic module 700, reducing system failures and maintenance costs caused by the failure of the connection structure 600.

[0083] In this embodiment, the third clamping member includes a fourth clamp 331, a fifth clamp 332, and a fourth fastener 333. The fourth clamp 331 and the fifth clamp 332 are arranged opposite to each other, and a third limiting groove is provided on the side where they are arranged opposite to each other. The fifth clamp 332 is attached to the purlin 120, and the fourth fastener 333 locks the fourth clamp 331 and the fifth clamp 332.

[0084] In this embodiment, as Figure 8 As shown, the second connecting component 400 includes a second U-shaped clamp bolt 450 and a second nut 460. The second U-shaped clamp bolt 450 is sleeved on the cable 200 and passes through the frame 720 of the photovoltaic module 700. The second nut 460 is threadedly connected to the second U-shaped clamp bolt 450 and abuts against the frame 720 of the photovoltaic module 700. The connection method of the second U-shaped clamp bolt 450 being sleeved on the cable 200 and passing through the frame 720 of the photovoltaic module 700, combined with the second nut 460 abutting against the frame 720, can form a tight and stable connection structure 600, effectively enhancing the connection strength between the photovoltaic module 700 and the cable 200, ensuring that the photovoltaic module 700 remains stable and does not fall off in complex environments such as strong winds and vibrations, and greatly improving the system's wind and earthquake resistance and safety.

[0085] Moreover, the structural design has good versatility and adaptability, and can be flexibly adapted to photovoltaic modules of different specifications with a 700mm frame, 720mm diameter, and 200mm diameter cable. It does not require complex customized design for specific products, which facilitates standardized production and large-scale application.

[0086] In one embodiment, such as Figure 9 As shown, the system also includes a connection structure 600, which comprises a fastener 610 and an installer 620. The fastener 610 is connected to the beam 110, purlin 120, or mounting platform, while the installer 620 connects the fastener 610 to the cable head 210 of the cable 200. By setting the fastener 610 on the beam 110, purlin 120, or mounting platform, and connecting the fastener 610 to the cable head 210 of the cable 200 via the installer 620, and then connecting the cable head 210 to the cable 200, a stable and reliable connection system is formed. This system can effectively bear the load transmitted by the cable 200, ensuring that the cable 200 maintains a stable connection with the base 100 or mounting platform under stress, avoiding the risk of structural failure due to loose connections, and significantly improving the overall structural stability and safety of the system.

[0087] Moreover, the connection structure 600 evenly distributes the concentrated load of the cable 200 to the beam 110, purlin 120 or installation platform through the fastener 610, effectively avoiding damage to the base 100 structure caused by local stress concentration and extending the service life of the base 100 and the entire support system.

[0088] It should be noted that the end of the cable 200 is fixed to the beam 110, purlin 120, or mounting platform, depending on the actual operational needs. For example, in Embodiment 1, the end of the cable 200 is fixed to the beam 110, and the fastener 610 of the connecting structure 600 is set on the beam 110.
