Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic power equipment, specifically a portable maintenance platform. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the land selected for photovoltaic (PV) construction is in subsidence areas following coal mining, with some areas experiencing subsidence depths exceeding 2 meters. The PV area is designed with two types of support structures: a 28° tilt fixed type and a single-axis tracking type. Considering the needs of land subsidence, agricultural planting sunlight, and the height requirements for agricultural machinery operation, the height of the tracking type single-axis supports ranges from 3.5 meters to 5 meters. Furthermore, to protect electrical equipment in case of rising water levels in the subsidence area, the transformer substations, combiner boxes, inverters, and tracking support control boxes are all installed above the pile foundations, at heights ranging from 3 to 4.5 meters. Due to the high installation positions of the equipment, and the lack of maintenance and repair platforms for components such as combiner boxes, inverters, and tracking support control boxes (except for the transformer substations), daily maintenance and troubleshooting by operation and maintenance personnel face significant inconvenience and a high risk of falls from height, mechanical injuries, and electric shock. Additionally, the presence of crop cultivation and agricultural greenhouses results in limited on-site space, hindering the effective use of specialized maintenance machinery. The tracking bracket control box, combiner box, and inverter are not designed with maintenance and repair platforms. Adding fixed maintenance platforms after commissioning would be impractical due to the large number of units and high costs. Therefore, a portable maintenance platform is proposed.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The above solution will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrating the present invention and not for limiting the scope of the present invention. The implementation conditions used in the embodiments can be further adjusted according to the conditions of specific manufacturers, and the implementation conditions not specified are usually the conditions in conventional experiments.
[0020] In one specific embodiment, a portable maintenance platform is provided, including a load-bearing component 1, a pedal unit 2, and a protective fence 3, which can be disassembled and assembled. Therefore, it is relatively easy to carry and install in actual use. The specific structure is as follows:
[0021] The load-bearing component 1 includes two parallel crossbeams 1.1. As shown in the attached drawings, there are two crossbeams 1.1 in this application, which are arranged side by side in use, forming a placement space at their ends. To facilitate the installation of the crossbeams 1.1 and the tracking bracket beam a, the two ends of the tracking bracket beam a are typically installed between two pile foundations. A first short vertical beam 1.2 and a second short vertical beam 1.3 are installed at one end of the crossbeam 1.1, forming a mounting groove 1.6 between them. During installation, the mounting groove 1.6 can engage with the tracking bracket beam a. The lower parts of the two short vertical beams are respectively provided with holes, into which connecting pins 1.7 can be inserted to connect the first short vertical beam 1.2 and the second short vertical beam 1.3, thereby achieving the fixed installation of the mounting groove 1.6 and the tracking bracket beam a. In addition, a plug rod 1.4 is installed at the other end of the crossbeam 1.1.
[0022] The protective fence 3 has a socket at its bottom, which can be plugged into the pole 1.4 to achieve a detachable connection between the protective fence 3 and the load-bearing component 1. The protective fence 3 can block the area behind the platform, improve safety, and is easy to carry and use.
[0023] The pedal unit 2 includes a pedal 2.1, with two parallel positioning legs 2.2 on each side, forming a positioning slot 2.5 between the two positioning legs 2.2. During installation, the pedal unit 2 can be positioned on top of the load-bearing component 1, with the crossbeam 1.1 placed within the positioning slot 2.5, thus enabling the pedal unit 2 to slide on the load-bearing component 1. This facilitates adjustment of the pedal 2.1's installation position on the crossbeam 1.1 and also facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the pedal unit 2.
[0024] As can be seen from the above structure, the load-bearing component 1, the pedal unit 2, and the protective fence 3 can be assembled when in use, and can be separated for easy transportation and carrying when not in use. Furthermore, the snap-fit installation method offers advantages such as simple assembly and disassembly, low operating costs, and reduced risk of falls during construction by reducing the platform's role in high-altitude operations. It also facilitates the maintenance and use of photovoltaic equipment, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0025] In addition, to prevent the risk of instability when stepping on one end of the pedal 2.1, this application provides slots on the outer sides of the two crossbeams 1.1 of the load-bearing component 1, and extension plates 2.3 are provided on both sides of the pedal 2.1, with through holes on their surfaces. Pins 2.4 are inserted into the through holes, and after installation, one end of the pin 2.4 can be inserted into the slot, thus locking the pin 2.4 in place and preventing one end of the pedal 2.1 from tilting up, thereby improving safety. The crossbeams 1.1 can be made of channel steel. Furthermore, the load-bearing component 1, pedal unit 2, and protective railing 3 in this application can also be made of aluminum alloy to reduce the weight of the platform and facilitate installation and carrying.
[0026] In addition, to further improve the stability of the platform, a first hanging ring 1.5 is installed at one end of the insert rod 1.4 on the crossbeam 1.1, and a chain 4 is installed on the first hanging ring 1.5. The chain 4 can be connected to the top of the pile foundation, and the chain 4 can play an auxiliary traction role for the platform, thereby improving the stability of the platform.
[0027] In addition, to facilitate the height adjustment of the protective fence and the carrying of the protective fence 3, the protective fence 3 includes a lower mounting tube 3.1 and an upper mounting tube 3.2. The lower mounting tube 3.1 can be inserted and installed on the plug rod 1.4, and the upper mounting tube 3.2 is telescopically installed on the lower mounting tube 3.1.
[0028] To further enhance platform safety, this application includes multiple second hanging rings 1.5a arranged and installed at the bottom of the crossbeam 1.1, with a lower protective net 6 installed on each second hanging ring 1.5a. Similarly, multiple second hanging rings 1.5a are arranged and installed on the protective fence 3, with a side protective net 5 installed on each second hanging ring 1.5a. The protective net 5 in this application is made of fabric and is installed using hooks, thus preventing falls and injuries, and preventing objects from falling from heights.
[0029] In addition, the second hanging ring 1.5a on the protective fence 3 can be used to install a safety belt, improving ease of use.
[0030] In addition, this application includes safety markings on the maintenance platform.
[0031] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the inventive concept. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
