Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar panel mounting bracket technology, and in particular to a mounting bracket suitable for photovoltaic solar panels. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of photovoltaic power generation, the mounting brackets for solar panels need to balance ease of transportation, deployment efficiency, and outdoor stability. Traditional fixed brackets are bulky and have inconvenient structures for adjustment, making them unsuitable for portability and practicality. Furthermore, in existing technologies, the solar panels are exposed on the surface of the folded structure, making them susceptible to damage from impacts during transportation.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an installation bracket that combines compact storage, rapid deployment, and self-protection features. A suitable installation bracket for photovoltaic solar panels is designed here. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a mounting bracket suitable for photovoltaic solar panels.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An installation bracket for photovoltaic solar panels includes a first housing and a second housing, which are rotatably connected. Solar panels are installed on the inner walls of both the first and second housings. A latch is fixed on the side wall of the second housing away from the first housing. A support mechanism is provided on the side wall of the first housing. Slide grooves are provided on the opposite side walls of the first housing, and a snap-fit ​​mechanism for connecting to the second housing is provided inside each of the two slide grooves.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the support mechanism includes a support plate, and a rotating shaft is provided through each of the two opposite side walls of the support plate. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the support plate through a bearing, and the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first housing.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the snap-fit ​​mechanism includes a slider disposed inside the slide groove, a fixing block fixedly connected to the side wall of the slider, a fixing hole that cooperates with the fixing block on the side wall of the second housing, a locking bolt passing through the side wall of the slider, the locking bolt being screwed to the slider, and two locking holes that cooperate with the locking bolt passing through the inner wall of the slide groove.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, limiting grooves are provided on the inner walls of the opposite sides of the sliding groove, and limiting blocks are fixed on the inner walls of the opposite sides of the slider. The two limiting blocks are slidably connected inside the two limiting grooves respectively.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, a lifting ring is fixed on the side wall of the second housing away from the first housing, and the lifting ring is located on the outside of the latch lock.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the first housing and the second housing are hinged together.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] The hinged folding shell structure allows for flat storage of the entire frame. When folded, the two shells fit together perfectly, and the support plate and snap-fit ​​mechanism are hidden on the side of the shell, making it easy to store and transport.

[0014] The support plate can be easily unfolded via a pivot. After unfolding, it uses the principle of triangular mechanics to provide stable support. In conjunction with a snap-fit ​​mechanism, the first shell and the second shell are fixed together to ensure the stability of the support.

[0015] The overall structure of this utility model can be flexibly adjusted, and it can be easily stored or unfolded, making it more convenient to use, transfer, or transport. Attached Figure Description

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.

[0023] Reference Figures 1-5 An installation bracket for photovoltaic solar panels includes a first housing 1 and a second housing 2, which are rotatably connected and hinged together by a hinge 7. Solar panels 5 are installed on the inner walls of both the first housing 1 and the second housing 2. The connecting wires of the solar panels 5 pass through the side walls of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2. A latch lock 4 is fixed on the side wall of the second housing 2 away from the first housing 1, and a lifting ring 3 is fixed on the side wall of the second housing 2 away from the first housing 1. The lifting ring 3 is located outside the latch lock 4. A support mechanism is provided on the side wall of the first housing 1. Slide grooves 8 are provided on the two opposite side walls of the first housing 1, and a snap-fit ​​mechanism for connecting to the second housing 2 is provided inside the two slide grooves 8.

[0024] Furthermore, limiting grooves 9 are provided on the inner walls of the opposite sides of the sliding groove 8, and limiting blocks 14 are fixed on the inner walls of the opposite sides of the slider 11. The two limiting blocks 14 are slidably connected inside the two limiting grooves 9 respectively. By sliding the limiting blocks 14 inside the limiting grooves 9, the slider 11 can be limited to prevent the slider 11 from slipping out of the limiting grooves 9.

[0025] In this utility model, the support mechanism includes a support plate 6, and a rotating shaft 15 is provided through each of the two opposite side walls of the support plate 6. The rotating shaft 15 is rotatably connected to the support plate 6 through a bearing, and the rotating shaft 15 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first housing 1.

[0026] The locking mechanism includes a slider 11 disposed inside the slide groove 8. A fixing block 13 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the slider 11. A fixing hole 16 that mates with the fixing block 13 is provided on the side wall of the second housing 2. A locking bolt 12 is provided through the side wall of the slider 11 and is screwed to the slider 11. Two locking holes 10 that mate with the locking bolt 12 are provided through the inner wall of the slide groove 8. When the locking bolt 12 is inserted into the locking hole 10, the slider 11 can be fixed.

[0027] Working principle: When folding and storing is required, the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are folded together and the latch 4 is engaged. Then the support plate 6 is folded to the side of the first shell 1, and the slider 11 is located at the end of the slide groove 8, so that the fixing block 13 is disengaged from the fixing hole 16. At this time, it is in the storage state.

[0028] When it needs to be unfolded for use, first unlock the latch 4, then apply force through the lifting ring 3 to make the second housing 2 rotate around the axis of the hinge 7 and unfold. Then push the slider 11 to slide along the slide groove 8. The limiting block 14 and the limiting groove 9 cooperate to constrain the slider 11 to maintain a linear movement trajectory. When the slider 11 moves to the designated position, the fixing block 13 is inserted into the corresponding fixing hole 16 to form axial positioning. Then rotate the locking bolt 12 so that its end abuts against the locking hole 10 on the slide groove 8 to fix the slider 11 and at the same time prevent the fixing block 13 from accidentally coming out of the fixing hole 16. Unfold the support plate 6 outward so that it rotates around the pivot 15 and unfolds. When the support plate 6 contacts the ground, it forms a triangular stable support structure.

[0029] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
