[0034] Please see Figures 1-8 A photovoltaic bracket connection mechanism and a photovoltaic module are disclosed. The photovoltaic bracket connection mechanism includes a base frame 5. One end of the upper surface of the base frame 5 is hinged to a telescopic support component 4 that can be extended and adjusted. A movable groove 51 is provided on one side of the base frame 5. An I-beam wheel 52 is slidably connected in the movable groove 51. A transition block 53 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the I-beam wheel 52. Adjacent base frames 5 are connected by a connection component 2.
[0035] In this application, the telescopic support assembly 4 can provide support for the angle adjustment of the photovoltaic panel 1. The two ends of the telescopic support assembly 4 are hinged to the base frame 5 and the mounting frame 3 respectively. The adjacent base frames 5 are connected by the connecting assembly 2. The connecting assembly 2 can be adjusted according to the required installation distance of the adjacent base frames 5 to adapt to different installation scenarios.
[0036] The telescopic support assembly 4 includes a first support rod 41, one end of which is hinged to the upper surface of the base frame 5, and the other end is rotatably connected to a screw 43. A handle 44 is fixedly sleeved on the end of the screw 43 near the first support rod 41, and the end of the screw 43 away from the first support rod 41 is threaded into the second support rod 42.
[0037] By adjusting the telescopic support component 4 to change the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel 1, the photovoltaic panel 1 can receive sunlight better, improve photovoltaic power generation efficiency, and increase energy output.
[0038] When the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel 1 needs to be adjusted, the handle 44 is turned, which drives the screw 43 to rotate. The screw 43 is threadedly connected to the second support rod 42. During the rotation, the screw 43 will rotate in or out of the second support rod 42, thereby changing the relative length between the first support rod 41 and the second support rod 42, so as to achieve telescopic adjustment to adapt to different installation requirements.
[0039] The connecting component 2 includes a scissor support frame 22. One end of the scissor support frame 22 is rotatably installed in the mounting base 21. The mounting base 21 is fixedly installed in one end of the base frame 5 by bolts. A limiting groove 24 is opened at the end of the scissor support frame 22 away from the mounting base 21. An installation rod 25 is fixedly connected inside the limiting groove 24. A spring 26 is sleeved in the middle of the installation rod 25. A lever 23 is slidably connected to both ends of the installation rod 25. The two ends of the spring 26 are fixedly connected to the levers 23 on both sides. The levers 23 are slidably connected in the limiting groove 24. An L-shaped rod 27 is fixedly connected to one side of the lever 23. A T-shaped groove 54 is opened at the end of the adapter block 53 near the scissor support frame 22. The L-shaped rod 27 is engaged in the T-shaped groove 54.
[0040] When connecting adjacent base frames 5, the mounting base 21 is fixed to one end of the base frame 5 with bolts. Then, the opening degree of the scissor support frame 22 is adjusted according to the required installation spacing of the adjacent base frames 5. The adapter block 53 on the adjacent base frame 5 is then brought close to the scissor support frame 22, and the two levers 23 are pinched inward to retract the spring 26. The two L-shaped rods 27 are brought close together, making it easy to insert them into the T-slot 54. After inserting the L-shaped rods 27 into the innermost part of the T-slot 54, the levers 23 are released. The two levers 23 move away from each other under the action of the spring 26, so that the L-shaped rods 27 are inserted into the T-slot 54, thereby realizing the connection between the adjacent base frames 5. When disassembly is required, the levers 23 are pushed inward to compress the spring 26, so that the L-shaped rods 27 are disengaged from the T-slot 54. Then the mounting base 21 is removed, and the adjacent base frames 5 can be separated, which improves the convenience of connection and disassembly and the flexibility of the entire support structure.
[0041] The I-beam wheel 52 can slide in the movable groove 51. When the distance between the base frames 5 changes, the I-beam wheel 52 can move freely in the movable groove 51 to adapt to different connection situations. The adapter block 53 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the I-beam wheel 52, which allows the adapter block 53 to rotate flexibly during the connection process, making it convenient to dock with the L-shaped rod 27 on the scissor support frame 22.
[0042] The photovoltaic module includes a photovoltaic support connection mechanism. One end of the base frame 5 is hinged to a mounting frame 3. The mounting frame 3 is provided with several mounting holes 31. One end of the telescopic support component 4 is fixedly installed on the mounting frame 3 by bolts. A photovoltaic panel 1 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting frame 3.
[0043] One end of the mounting frame 3 is hinged to the base frame 5. By adjusting the length of the telescopic support component 4, the tilt angle of the mounting frame 3 can be changed. One end of the telescopic support component 4 is fixed to the mounting frame 3 with bolts. When the telescopic support component 4 extends or retracts, it will drive the mounting frame 3 to rotate around the hinge point with the base frame 5. The mounting frame 3 is provided with several mounting holes 31 to facilitate the installation of photovoltaic panels 1 and the fixing of the second support rod 42. The installation position of photovoltaic panels 1 and the second support rod 42 can be adjusted according to actual needs. The photovoltaic panel 1 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting frame 3. As the angle of the mounting frame 3 is adjusted, the photovoltaic panel 1 can receive sunlight at the optimal angle, thereby improving the photovoltaic power generation efficiency.
[0044] In summary, the working principle of the photovoltaic support connection mechanism and photovoltaic module of this utility model embodiment is as follows:
[0045] The tilt angle of the mounting frame 3 and photovoltaic panel 1 is adjusted by the telescopic support assembly 4 to allow the photovoltaic panel 1 to receive sunlight at the optimal angle. During adjustment, the handle 44 is turned to drive the screw 43 to rotate. The screw 43 is threadedly connected to the second support rod 42. During rotation, the screw 43 will rotate in or out of the second support rod 42, thereby changing the relative length between the first support rod 41 and the second support rod 42. Adjacent base frames 5 are connected by the connecting assembly 2. The connecting assembly 2 can be adjusted according to the required installation distance of adjacent base frames 5 to adapt to different installation scenarios. During connection, the mounting base 21 is fixed to one end of the base frame 5 with bolts. Then, according to the adjacent base frames 5... The required installation spacing corresponds to the degree of opening of the scissor support frame 22. Then, bring the adapter block 53 on the adjacent base frame 5 close to the scissor support frame 22, pinch the two levers 23 inward to retract the spring 26, and bring the two L-shaped rods 27 closer together for easy insertion into the T-slot 54. After inserting the L-shaped rod 27 into the innermost part of the T-slot 54, release the levers 23. The two levers 23 will move away from each other under the action of the spring 26, thereby allowing the L-shaped rod 27 to be inserted into the T-slot 54, thus achieving the connection between the adjacent base frames 5. When disassembly is required, push the levers 23 inward to compress the spring 26, causing the L-shaped rod 27 to disengage from the T-slot 54. Then, remove the mounting base 21 to separate the adjacent base frames 5.
