[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 5As shown, this embodiment discloses a flexible photovoltaic support, including an inclined beam 10, steel strands 20, and steel strand locking structures. Two steel strand locking structures are respectively disposed at both ends of the inclined beam 10 to lock the steel strands 20. The steel strand locking structures of this embodiment can stably support the steel strands 20 and prevent the steel strands 20 from wearing out when rotating with the inclined beam 10.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the steel strand locking structure includes a fixing seat 1 and a pressure plate 2. The fixing seat 1 is used to fix it to the inclined beam 10. The fixing seat 1 includes a fixing plate 11 and a base plate 12. The two fixing plates 11 are arranged in parallel, and the base plate 12 is fixed between the two fixing plates 11. The fixing plates 11 are fixedly connected to the inclined beam 10. In this embodiment, the two fixing plates 11 are respectively used to at least partially fit against both sides of the inclined beam 10 and are fixed by welding. The base plate 12 is used to support the steel strand 20 and provide support for the steel strand 20.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the pressure plate 2 is disposed on the base plate 12. The pressure plate 2 and the base plate 12 cooperate to form a space for the steel strand 20 to pass through. With this arrangement, the steel strand 20 can slide within the set space to adapt to various application environments. Further, the base plate 12 includes a first connecting part 121 and a first arc-shaped part 122, with the first arc-shaped part 122 connecting between the two first connecting parts 121; the pressure plate 2 includes a second connecting part 21 and a second arc-shaped part 22, with the second arc-shaped part 22 connecting between the two second connecting parts 21; the base plate 12 and the pressure plate 2 are fixedly connected by the first connecting part 121 and the second connecting part 21, and the first arc-shaped part 122 and the second arc-shaped part 22 cooperate to form a space with a circular cross-section for the steel strand 20 to pass through. Preferably, the first arc-shaped portion 122 and the second arc-shaped portion 22 extend a certain distance along the length direction of the steel strand 20, thereby providing circumferential restraint for the steel strand 20, preventing the steel strand 20 from moving in any direction other than the axial direction, and ensuring that the steel strand 20 is stably confined within the space enclosed by the first arc-shaped portion 122 and the second arc-shaped portion 22, thereby reducing vibrations caused by external factors such as wind.

[0030] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the pressure plate 2 and the base plate 12 have the same shape and size, and are arranged opposite to each other, that is, the pressure plate 2 and the base plate 12 are arranged symmetrically from top to bottom. This arrangement facilitates the installation of the steel strand 20 on the locking structure, and the connection strength between the pressure plate 2 and the base plate 12 is high. The first connecting part 121 and the second connecting part 21 are provided with corresponding through holes, and the two are fixed together by bolts.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the fixing plate 11 is provided with an opening slot 13 for limiting the installation of the steel strand 20. The opening slot 13 connects to one side of the fixing plate 11, and the width of the opening slot 13 is not less than the diameter of the steel strand 20, so that the steel strand 20 can be radially inserted into the opening slot 13; the opening slot 13 corresponds at least partially to the aforementioned space, so that the steel strand 20 remains axially continuous, thereby enabling smooth sliding.

[0032] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the groove edge of the opening groove 13 is provided with a wear-resistant material to reduce the mutual wear between the steel strand 20 and the groove edge of the opening groove 13, thereby extending the service life of the steel strand 20 and the steel strand locking structure.

[0033] Please see Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the opening slot 13 includes a first slot 131 and a second slot 132. The first slot 131 corresponds at least partially axially to the space, and the second slot 132 connects the first slot 131 with the upper side of the fixing plate 11. With this configuration, the steel strand 20 can be installed from the upper side of the fixing plate 11 into the first slot 131. The second slot 132 is shorter, making installation convenient and quick, and the base plate 12 provides strong support for the steel strand 20. The first slot 131 is circular, and the second slot 132 is rectangular. This configuration ensures that the first slot 131 and the steel strand 20 have the same cross-sectional shape, and the distance between the steel strand 20 and the circumferential edge of the first slot 131 is equal, resulting in high stability. The steel strand 20 can slide into the first slot 131 along the rectangular second slot 132, achieving quick and convenient installation. Furthermore, the diameter of the first slot 131 is greater than the width of the second slot 132, and the width of the second slot 132 is not less than the diameter of the steel strand 20; with this arrangement, the width of the second slot 132 is sufficient for the steel strand 20 to slide, and the steel strand 20 can have a certain adjustment space when it slides into the first slot 131.

[0034] In other embodiments, the second slot 132 may also connect the first slot 131 with the left and right sides of the fixing plate 11, and the second slot 132 is relatively long.

[0035] Please see Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the steel strand locking structure of this embodiment also includes a bushing 3, which is disposed within the space formed by the mating of the pressure plate 2 and the base plate 12. The outer side of the bushing 3 is adapted to abut against the base plate 12 and the pressure plate 2, and the steel strand 20 passes through the inner side of the bushing 3. The bushing 3 prevents wear between the steel strand 20 and the fixing seat 1 and the pressure plate 2. Furthermore, the bushing 3 includes two opposing half-bushings 30, which are respectively adapted to abut against the base plate 12 and the pressure plate 2. This arrangement facilitates the installation of the steel strand 20 and the pressure plate 2. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 4As shown, along the height direction of the fixing seat 11, the height of the first arc-shaped part 122 is lower than the opening groove 13, so that the bushing 3 is confined between the two fixing plates 11 to prevent the bushing 3 from popping out.

[0036] In this embodiment, both the fixing base 1 and the pressure plate 2 are made of metal. The fixing plate 11 and the base plate 12 of the fixing base 1, and the pressure plate 2 are respectively formed by bending metal sheets. The fixing plate 11 and the base plate 12 are fixed together by welding. The bushing 3 is made of plastic and is made of polymer material. With this configuration, the steel cable locking structure as a whole has high structural strength to effectively support the steel cable 20, while the bushing 3 can effectively prevent wear.

[0037] In summary, compared with existing technologies, the steel cable locking structure and flexible photovoltaic support of this utility model have the following advantages: The steel cable locking structure includes a fixed base 1 and a pressure plate 2. The fixed base 1 is fixedly connected to the inclined beam 10. The fixed base 1 includes a fixed plate 11 and a base plate 12. The fixed plate 11 is provided with an opening slot 13 for installing the steel cable 20. The pressure plate 2 and the base plate 12 cooperate to form a space for the steel cable 20 to pass through, so as to support the steel cable 20 and restrict the radial displacement of the steel cable 20, thereby avoiding damage to the inclined beam 10 due to excessive force. This steel cable locking structure and flexible photovoltaic support allow the steel cable 20 to slide within a set space, adapting to various application environments.
