A photovoltaic module adjustable carport

Abstract

This utility model discloses an adjustable carport with photovoltaic modules, relating to the field of photovoltaic modules. It includes a carport frame, with a solar panel hinged to the top of the frame. A motor protective housing for the drive motor is also installed at the top of the frame. An adjustment mechanism is provided on the carport frame and the solar panel. The adjustment mechanism includes a transmission unit and a support unit. By setting up the adjustment mechanism, this utility model allows for timed control of the drive motor via a PLC controller. The drive motor rotates a lead screw, which in turn moves multiple movable rods and guide rods axially, thereby pushing a push block connected to a support block to move laterally. This adjusts the angle of the solar panel hinged to the top of the support block, ensuring direct sunlight on the solar panel and improving solar energy utilization. Multiple solar panels can be adjusted simultaneously, reducing the number of drive units and further lowering costs.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic modules, specifically an adjustable carport based on photovoltaic modules. Background Technology

[0002] Solar cell modules are the core and most important component of a solar power system. Their function is to convert solar energy into electrical energy, which can then be either stored in batteries or used to power loads.

[0003] In the prior art, photovoltaic modules are generally fixed on the top of the carport to collect solar energy for charging electric vehicles. However, the angle of the photovoltaic modules is generally fixed and cannot be adjusted. When the angle of sunlight changes, the photovoltaic modules cannot get a good angle of illumination, resulting in a decrease in the utilization rate of solar energy. Based on this, this utility model proposes a carport with adjustable photovoltaic modules. Utility Model Content

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-3 In this embodiment of the utility model, a photovoltaic module adjustable carport includes a carport frame 1, a solar panel 2 hinged to the top of the carport frame 1, a motor protective shell 3 for protecting the drive motor 401 installed at the top of the carport frame 1, and an adjustment mechanism 4 set on the carport frame 1 and the solar panel 2.

[0031] The adjustment mechanism 4 includes a transmission unit and a support unit;

[0032] The support unit is used to provide adjustable support for the angle of solar panel 2;

[0033] The transmission unit is used to provide power for adjusting the angle of solar panel 2;

[0034] The support unit includes an economic pusher block 405, a support block 406, and a positioning plate 407;

[0035] Push block 405 is laterally slidably installed on the top of the carport frame 1. Push block 405 is used to push support block 406 to move vertically.

[0036] The support block 406 is slidably mounted on the top of the push block 405 and hinged to the bottom of the solar panel 2. The support block 406 is used to support the angle adjustment of the solar panel 2.

[0037] The positioning plate 407 is fixed to one side of the outer wall of the push block 405. The positioning plate 407 is used to provide support for the distribution of the guide groove 408.

[0038] The transmission unit includes a drive motor 401, a lead screw 402, a movable rod 403, a guide rod 404, and a guide groove 408;

[0039] The drive motor 401 is mounted on the top of the canopy frame 1 and located inside the motor protective housing 3. The drive motor 401 is used to provide power for the rotation of the lead screw 402.

[0040] The lead screw 402 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 401 via a rotating shaft and a coupling. The lead screw 402 is used to provide thrust for the axial movement of the movable rod 403.

[0041] The movable rod 403 is sleeved on the outer wall of the lead screw 402, and the movable rod 403 is used to synchronously drive the guide rod 404 to move axially.

[0042] The guide rod 404 is fixed at both ends of the movable rod 403, and the guide rod 404 is used to provide lateral thrust to the guide groove 408.

[0043] A guide groove 408 is formed at the top of the positioning plate 407, and the guide groove 408 is used to provide space for the insertion of the guide rod 404.

[0044] In this embodiment: This structure allows the PLC controller to periodically control the operation of the drive motor 401, causing the lead screw 402 connected to the output end of the drive motor 401 to rotate periodically. The rotating lead screw 402 provides thrust to the movable rod 403. Influenced by the guide rod 404, the movable rod 403 moves axially along the threaded outer wall of the lead screw 402. Simultaneously, the guide rods 404 fixed at both ends of the movable rod 403 also move axially. The axially moving guide rods 404 move along the inner side of the guide groove 408. Since the outer wall of the guide groove 408 is generally inclined, ... The positioning plate 407 with the guide groove 408 will be pushed laterally by the pressure from the guide rod 404. The laterally moving positioning plate 407 will synchronously drive the push block 405 to move laterally, so that the support block 406 on the inclined surface of the push block 405 will be pushed upward or downward along the inclined surface of the push block 405 by the lateral moving force from the push block 405. This will adjust the angle of the solar panel 2 hinged at the top of the push block 405. Multiple solar panels 2 will also move synchronously under the synchronous movement of multiple push blocks 405, so as to adapt to the change of the angle of sunlight and increase the utilization rate of solar energy.

[0045] Please refer to this carefully. Figures 1-3The outer wall of the guide groove 408 is inclined, and the guide groove 408 is symmetrically distributed on the top of two symmetrical positioning plates 407. The drive motor 401 is electrically connected to the external PLC controller through wires. The inner wall of the movable rod 403 is formed with a thread groove that matches the thread on the outer wall of the lead screw 402. The outer wall of the guide rod 404 matches the inner side of the guide groove 408. There are multiple movable rods 403, which are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the lead screw 402. The outer walls of the movable rod 403 and the guide rod 404 are U-shaped. The top of the push block 405 is formed with a convex groove for the bottom of the support block 406 to slide obliquely. The outer wall of the push block 405 is a right trapezoidal structure.

[0046] In this embodiment, this structure allows the push blocks 405 distributed on both sides of the movable rod 403 and the guide rod 404 to be synchronously pushed by the guide rod 404 to adjust the angle of the solar panel 2 under the action of multiple guide rods 404 and movable rods 403. This achieves the purpose of synchronously adjusting the angle of multiple solar panels 2, reduces the number of drive units, and further reduces costs.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
