Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application provides a photovoltaic support frame, including a photovoltaic support frame body 1, a fixing component 2, and a reinforcing rib 3.
[0039] Among them, the photovoltaic support body 1 is used to support the photovoltaic panel 4.
[0040] Multiple fixing components 2 are spaced apart on the top surface of the photovoltaic support body 1, and photovoltaic panels 4 are laid on the side of the fixing components 2 away from the photovoltaic support body 1.
[0041] Specifically, the fixing component 2 includes a channel steel section 21 and an L-shaped fixing plate 22;
[0042] Through holes are provided on the opposite sidewalls and bottom wall 211 of the channel steel section 21, so that bolts 23 can be fixedly connected to the photovoltaic bracket body 1 through the bottom through hole of the channel steel section 21, and bolts 23 can be fixedly connected to the photovoltaic panel 4 through the top of the channel steel section 21. The L-shaped fixing plate 22 is provided on one side of the bottom wall 211 of the channel steel section 21. The vertical wall 221 of the L-shaped fixing plate 22 is provided with through holes, so that bolts 23 can pass through the through holes in the bottom wall 211 and be fixed with the through holes in the vertical wall 221; the horizontal wall 222 of the L-shaped fixing plate 22 is provided with through holes, so that bolts 23 can pass through the through holes in the horizontal wall 222 and be fixedly connected to the photovoltaic bracket body 1.
[0043] It should be noted that the channel steel segment 21 can be formed by circumferentially cutting the channel steel to create a single channel steel segment 21, and drilling holes in the opposite sidewalls and bottom wall 211 of the channel steel segment 21 to form the channel steel segment 21 of this application. This eliminates the need for separate processing; only the existing channel steel needs to be cut. Furthermore, the channel steel segment 21 can also have an inner edge 24, meaning that the side of the opposite sidewall of the channel steel segment 21 away from the bottom wall 211 has an inner edge 24 extending towards the center. This inner edge 24 forms a semi-closed cross-sectional structure, effectively improving the channel steel's resistance to bending and torsional stresses. Its geometry can disperse the shear force generated by external loads, reducing local stress concentration and giving the channel steel higher stability under pressure. Since this application uses a channel steel segment 21, rather than a long section of channel steel, its pressure-bearing capacity is particularly important. This structure can reduce deformation capacity.
[0044] It should also be noted that the vertical wall 221 has an arc-shaped chamfer 25 on the side facing away from the bottom wall 211, and the horizontal wall 222 has a chamfer 25 on the side facing away from the photovoltaic support body 1. The inner sides of the bends of the vertical wall 221 and the horizontal wall 222 also have chamfers 25. The vertical wall 221 and the horizontal wall 222 can assist the channel steel section 21, giving the channel steel section 21 better support and preventing deformation. That is, if the channel steel section 21 deforms during use, the bottom wall 211 will deform first, and the function of the vertical wall 221 and the horizontal wall 222 is to prevent or reduce the deformation of the bottom wall 211. In addition, the chamfer 25 structure of the vertical wall 221 and the horizontal wall 222 can reduce stress concentration and make the stress distribution more uniform.
[0045] For example, the length of the vertical wall 221 is less than the length of the bottom wall 211.
[0046] The reinforcing rib 3 is disposed between two adjacent fixing components 2 to reinforce the two adjacent fixing components 2. The reinforcing rib 3 can be made of materials such as steel bars as needed.
[0047] It should be noted that the bottom wall 211 is also provided with through holes for fixing the reinforcing ribs 3. In this way, the two ends of the reinforcing ribs 3 can be fixed through the through holes on the bottom wall 211. For example, there are two reinforcing ribs 3, arranged vertically, and nuts 26 are provided on the through holes. The two ends of the reinforcing ribs 3 may have threaded structures so as to be threadedly connected with the nuts 26.
[0048] By combining the reinforcing rib 3 and the fixing component 2 in multiple segments, the problem that the longer the reinforcing rib 3 is, the more likely it is to deform is avoided.
[0049] In one embodiment, the photovoltaic support body 1 includes a support beam 101, a column 102, a first diagonal brace 103, a second diagonal brace 104, a third diagonal brace 105, a first vertical brace 106, a second vertical brace 107, a positioning brace 108, a first clamp 109, a second clamp 110, and a flexible pad 111.
[0050] The column 102 is partially placed on the ground; the first clamp 109 and the second clamp 110 are spaced apart and attached to the column 102; the first diagonal brace 103 and the second diagonal brace 104 are separately arranged on both sides of the column 102, with one end of the first diagonal brace 103 connected to the first clamp 109 and the other end connected to the support beam 101, and one end of the second diagonal brace 104 connected to the first clamp 109 and the other end connected to the support beam 101; the first vertical brace 106 and the second vertical brace 107 are separately arranged on both sides of the column 102, and the first vertical brace 106... The lower portions of the first vertical support 106 and the second vertical support 107 are respectively connected to the second clamp 110 and the first clamp 109; the middle portions of the first vertical support 106 and the second vertical support 107 are respectively connected to both ends of the positioning support 108; the tops of the first vertical support 106 and the second vertical support 107 are respectively connected to the support beam 101; the two ends of the third diagonal support 105 are respectively connected to the first vertical support 106 and the second vertical support 107; the flexible pad 111 is arranged on the top surface of the column 102 so that the positioning support 108 overlaps on it; the support beam 101 is respectively connected to a plurality of the fixing components 2. The first clamp 109 and the second clamp 110 form a fixation for the first diagonal support 103 and the second diagonal support 104.
[0051] Specifically, the first diagonal brace 103 and the second diagonal brace 104 are used to support the top and bottom ends of the inclined photovoltaic panel 4. That is, the support beam 101 is arranged at an inclination, and multiple first fixing holes are respectively provided on the side walls at both ends and the middle of the support beam 101 so that the first diagonal brace 103 and the second diagonal brace 104 can be connected to the support beam 101 through the first fixing holes at both ends; the first vertical brace 106 and the second vertical brace 107 are respectively connected to the support beam 101 through the first fixing hole in the middle. In addition, the connection position with the first diagonal brace 103 and the second diagonal brace 104 is adjusted by using the multiple first fixing holes at both ends of the support beam 101, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel 4.
[0052] The photovoltaic panel 4 is supported in the middle by a first vertical support 106 and a second vertical support 107. To ensure stability, a third diagonal brace 105 is added between the first vertical support 106 and the second vertical support 107, forming a connection between the first vertical support 106 and the second vertical support 107. That is, the third diagonal brace 105 is arranged at an angle, and the middle of the first vertical support 106 and the top of the second vertical support 107 are respectively provided with second fixing holes. The length of the first vertical support 106 is greater than the length of the second vertical support 107, and the two ends of the third diagonal brace 105 are respectively connected to the second fixing holes.
[0053] The positioning support 108 is either circular or rectangular, and is used to abut against the flexible pad 111. The flexible pad 111 cushions the positioning support 108, preventing the positioning support 108 from rigidly abutting against the column 102. For example, the positioning support 108 is two cuboids, with its two ends respectively standing on both sides of the first vertical support 106 and the second vertical support 107, and fixed by bolts 23 or other structures.
[0054] In one embodiment, the width of the support beam 101 is equal to the width of the channel steel segment 21.
[0055] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
