Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic power generation equipment technology, and more specifically, to a high-strength wind-resistant photovoltaic support. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing global demand for clean energy, photovoltaic (PV) power generation, as a sustainable energy solution, has been widely applied and promoted. In PV power generation systems, the PV support structure is a key component supporting the PV panels, and its performance directly affects the stability, reliability, and power generation efficiency of the PV system.

[0003] Traditional photovoltaic (PV) mounting systems have numerous design and structural shortcomings, making it difficult to meet the increasingly complex and variable requirements of operating environments. In strong winds, many PV mounting systems fail to provide sufficient wind resistance, causing PV panels to sway, deform, or even be overturned by strong winds. This not only damages the PV equipment but can also lead to safety accidents, resulting in significant economic losses for PV power plants.

[0004] On the one hand, the overall structural strength of traditional photovoltaic (PV) support structures is limited. The connections between the uprights and crossbars of some supports are not stable enough, and under the influence of wind, the connections are prone to loosening, reducing the overall stability of the support structure. Moreover, the methods of fixing the support structure to the ground are not reliable enough. For example, simple bolt connections or shallow burial fixation can easily lead to the entire support structure shifting or tilting under the continuous action of strong winds.

[0005] On the other hand, traditional photovoltaic (PV) mounting systems are less flexible in adjusting the angle of PV panels. Different regions have significantly different sunlight conditions and climates, requiring adjustments to the panel angles to achieve optimal power generation efficiency. However, traditional mounting systems often struggle to achieve precise and convenient angle adjustments, or, once adjusted, cannot maintain a stable angle under adverse conditions such as strong winds, thus impacting PV power generation efficiency.

[0006] Furthermore, traditional photovoltaic (PV) mounting systems present inconveniences in terms of installation and maintenance. Their complex structural design makes installation cumbersome, requiring significant manpower and time, thus increasing installation costs. Moreover, during later maintenance, the inconvenient connection methods between components make disassembly and replacement difficult, further increasing the operating costs of the PV power generation system. Utility Model Content

[0007] Based on the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a high-strength wind-resistant photovoltaic support.

[0008] A high-strength wind-resistant photovoltaic support system includes:

[0009] The bracket body includes multiple front uprights, multiple rear uprights, a bottom fixing mechanism, and a photovoltaic mounting frame. The height of the rear uprights is greater than that of the front uprights. Both the front and rear uprights are equipped with bottom fixing mechanisms, which are connected and fixed to the pre-embedded base. Reinforcing mechanisms are provided between the front uprights, between the rear uprights, and between the front and rear uprights. The photovoltaic mounting frame is installed on the top of the front and rear uprights.

[0010] The bottom fixing mechanism includes a fixing plate set at the bottom of the front upright and the rear upright. The fixing plate is locked and fixed to the pre-embedded base by fixing pins. A short column is provided in the middle of the lower side of the fixing plate. The pre-embedded base is provided with a slot corresponding to the short column. The short column is inserted into the slot.

[0011] The reinforcing mechanism includes crossbars and straight bars. The crossbars are installed between the front uprights and between the rear uprights, and the straight bars are installed between the front uprights and the rear uprights.

[0012] The photovoltaic mounting frame includes inclined beams and crossbeams. The inclined beams are set on the upper ends of the front and rear uprights that are directly opposite each other. Two crossbeams are fixedly installed on the upper side of the inclined beams in parallel, and the photovoltaic panels are mounted on the crossbeams.

[0013] Furthermore, each of the four ends of the crossbar is provided with an end plate, which is tightly attached to the front or rear upright and fixed by end plate screws.

[0014] Furthermore, the two ends of the straight rod are fixed to the front and rear uprights by straight rod screws.

[0015] Furthermore, both the front and rear uprights are equipped with universal joints at their upper ends. The universal joints are adjustablely installed on the upper ends of the front and rear uprights by means of locking bolts and nuts. The inclined beam is fixed to the universal joint by inclined beam bolts.

[0016] Furthermore, the universal joint is composed of a side plate and a groove plate. The groove plate is located in the middle of the two symmetrical side plates. The upper part of the side plate and the groove plate form a mounting groove. The lower part of the side plate is installed on the upper end of the front and rear uprights by locking bolts and nuts. The inclined beam is stuck in the mounting groove and fixed to the groove plate by the inclined beam bolts.

[0017] Furthermore, the inclined beam has a through-slot in the middle, and the lower side of the crossbeam is provided with a connecting seat corresponding to the position of the slot. The connecting seat is locked and fixed by the crossbeam bolts and nuts on the side of the slot.

[0018] Beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. High wind resistance: Through the cooperation of the fixing plate, fixing pin, short column and pre-embedded base of the bottom fixing mechanism, as well as the setting of cross rods and straight rods in the strengthening mechanism, the overall structural strength and stability of the bracket are significantly enhanced, enabling it to withstand greater wind force. This effectively prevents the photovoltaic panels from swaying, deforming or being overturned in strong winds, ensuring the safe operation of the photovoltaic power generation system, reducing the risk of equipment damage caused by strong winds and reducing economic losses.

[0020] 2. Flexible angle adjustment: The universal joint design at the top of the front and rear poles allows the photovoltaic panels to flexibly adjust their angle according to the sunlight conditions and actual needs of different regions to obtain the best power generation efficiency. This flexible angle adjustment function improves the adaptability of the photovoltaic bracket to different environments, helps to make full use of solar energy resources, and enhances the overall power generation performance of the photovoltaic power generation system.

[0021] 3. Easy to install and maintain: The connection methods of each component of this photovoltaic bracket are simple and clear. For example, the fixing pins connect the fixing plate to the pre-embedded base, the cross rods and straight rods are connected to the uprights through the end plate screws and straight rod screws, and the bolts connect the inclined beams to the universal joints and the cross beams to the inclined beams. All of these make the installation process more convenient and reduce the manpower and time costs required for installation. At the same time, during later maintenance, these connection methods facilitate the disassembly and replacement of components, reduce the difficulty of maintenance work, improve maintenance efficiency, and thus reduce the operating cost of the photovoltaic power generation system.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0028] like Figures 1-4 The high-strength wind-resistant photovoltaic support shown consists of a support body, a bottom fixing mechanism, a reinforcing mechanism, and a photovoltaic mounting frame. The support body includes multiple front uprights 2, multiple rear uprights 1, a bottom fixing mechanism, and a photovoltaic mounting frame. The height of the rear uprights 1 is greater than that of the front uprights 2. This height difference design is conducive to the photovoltaic panels forming a certain tilt angle to better receive sunlight. The bottom of both the front uprights 2 and the rear uprights 1 is equipped with a bottom fixing mechanism, which is connected and fixed to the pre-embedded base 4 to ensure that the entire support is firmly rooted in the ground. Reinforcing mechanisms are provided between the front uprights 2, between the rear uprights 1, and between the front uprights 2 and the rear uprights 1 to enhance the overall structural strength of the support body. The photovoltaic mounting frame is installed on the top of the front uprights 2 and the rear uprights 1 to support the photovoltaic panels.

[0029] The bottom fixing mechanism includes a fixing plate 3 set at the bottom of the front upright 2 and the rear upright 1. The fixing plate 3 is locked and fixed to the pre-embedded base 4 by fixing pins 10. The fixing plate 3 can be fixed by welding to the front upright 2 and the rear upright 1. This connection method is firm and reliable and can effectively resist the pulling force of strong wind on the support. A short column 31 is provided in the middle of the lower side of the fixing plate 3. The pre-embedded base 4 is provided with a slot 41 corresponding to the short column 31. The short column 31 is inserted into the slot 41. The short column 31 and the slot 41 can be set to fit tightly to minimize the gap between them, which further enhances the connection stability between the fixing plate 3 and the pre-embedded base 4, prevents the fixing plate 3 from shifting in the horizontal direction, and improves the overall wind resistance of the support.

[0030] The reinforcing mechanism includes crossbars 8 and straight bars 9. The crossbars 8 are set between the front uprights 2 and the rear uprights 1. By forming a cross support structure between the uprights, the lateral connection strength between the uprights is increased, effectively dispersing the force of the wind on the uprights and preventing the uprights from bending or breaking under strong winds. Each of the four ends of the crossbars 8 is provided with an end plate 81. The end plate 81 is tightly attached to the front upright 2 or the rear upright 1 and is connected and fixed by the end plate screw 82 to ensure a stable connection between the crossbars 8 and the uprights. The straight bars 9 are set between the front uprights 2 and the rear uprights 1, further strengthening the connection between the front and rear uprights 1 and improving the overall stability of the support. The two ends of the straight bars 9 are fixed to the front uprights 2 and the rear uprights 1 by straight bar screws 91, ensuring a reliable connection between the straight bars 9 and the uprights.

[0031] The photovoltaic mounting frame includes inclined beams 6 and crossbeams 7. The inclined beams 6 are set on the upper ends of the front uprights 2 and the rear uprights 1, which are directly opposite each other, to provide an inclined support surface for the photovoltaic panels to optimize the angle at which the photovoltaic panels receive sunlight. The two crossbeams 7 are fixedly installed in parallel on the upper side of the inclined beams 6. The photovoltaic panels are installed on the crossbeams 7, and the crossbeams 7 provide a stable mounting platform for the photovoltaic panels.

[0032] Universal Mount 5 Design: Universal Mount 5 is provided at the upper end of both the front upright 2 and the rear upright 1. The Universal Mount 5 is adjustablely installed at the upper end of the front upright 2 and the rear upright 1 by locking bolts 51 and nuts. The Universal Mount 5 consists of side plates 53 and groove plates 54. The groove plate 54 is located in the middle of the two symmetrical side plates 53. The upper part of the side plates 53 and the groove plate 54 form a mounting groove. The lower part of the side plates 53 is installed at the upper end of the front upright 2 and the rear upright 1 by locking bolts 51 and nuts. The inclined beam 6 is fixed in the mounting groove of the Universal Mount 5 by inclined beam bolts 52 and fixed to the groove plate 54 by the inclined beam bolts 52. This Universal Mount 5 design allows the inclined beam 6 to flexibly adjust its angle within a certain range, thereby driving the photovoltaic panel to adjust to the optimal light-receiving angle. At the same time, the fixing by locking bolts 51 and nuts ensures that after the angle is adjusted, the inclined beam 6 and the photovoltaic panel can remain stable under harsh conditions such as strong winds.

[0033] The horizontal beam 7 is connected to the inclined beam 6: The inclined beam 6 has a through-slot 61 in the middle, and the lower side of the horizontal beam 7 is provided with a connecting seat 71 corresponding to the position of the long slot 61. The connecting seat 71 is locked and fixed by the horizontal beam bolt 72 on the side of the long slot 61 and the nut. This design not only facilitates the installation and position adjustment of the horizontal beam 7 on the inclined beam 6, but also allows for flexible arrangement of the spacing of photovoltaic panels according to actual needs, so as to adapt to the installation requirements of photovoltaic panels of different specifications.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
