Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar panel support technology, specifically to a photovoltaic solar panel support structure with adaptive angle adjustment. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic solar energy is a technology that uses the photovoltaic effect at the semiconductor interface to directly convert light energy into electrical energy. While realizing the concept of environmental protection, it can also meet the electricity needs of multiple fields.

[0003] In existing technologies, the core component of photovoltaic solar power generation is the solar panel. Typically, solar panels are installed in areas with high sunlight intensity and long hours of sunshine. When sunlight shines on the solar panel, photons interact with electrons in the semiconductor material, causing the electrons to gain enough energy to break free from their atomic bonds, forming free electron-hole pairs. These free electrons and holes separate under the influence of the electric field inside the semiconductor and move towards their respective ends of the cell, thus generating an electric current to power other industrial electrical equipment.

[0004] However, during the installation of solar panels, workers first install a bracket on the ground, then hinge the mounting base onto the bracket using a pivot, and finally install the solar panel onto the mounting base. This allows the angle of the solar panel to be freely adjusted for better sunlight exposure. But over time, the connection between the mounting base and the bracket is exposed to wind, dust, and rain, causing the connecting parts at the pivot to rust. Therefore, workers need to frequently maintain the pivot and other parts to ensure unimpeded rotation, increasing their workload. To address these shortcomings, we propose an adaptive angle-adjustable photovoltaic solar panel bracket structure. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adaptive angle-adjustable photovoltaic solar panel support structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an adaptive angle-adjustable photovoltaic solar panel support structure, including a mounting base, the front projection shape of which is U-shaped, and protective covers that can be detachably connected to the left and right inner sides of the mounting base. A protective cavity is formed between the side wall of the mounting base and the protective cover. A support part is hinged between the two protective covers. A rotating shaft is fixedly provided on the left and right sides of the support part, and the rotating shaft extends into the protective cavity.

[0007] Optionally, two limiting blocks are fixedly provided on the left and right side walls of the mounting base, and limiting ports are opened on the limiting blocks. Two limiting plates are fixedly provided on the inner side wall of the protective cover. The limiting ports are used for the insertion of the limiting plates, and the limiting ports and the limiting plates are connected by bolts.

[0008] Optionally, the top wall of the protective cover is inverted V-shaped.

[0009] Optionally, the top projection shape of the bracket is U-shaped, the width of the bracket is not greater than the distance between the two protective covers, and the two rotating shafts are fixedly connected to the left and right outer surfaces of the bracket.

[0010] Optionally, a through hole is provided on the side wall of the protective cover, the diameter of the rotating shaft is not greater than the diameter of the through hole, and the rotating shaft is located below the top wall of the protective cover.

[0011] Optionally, a nut is screwed onto one end of the shaft that extends into the protective cavity, and the width of the opposite sides of the nut is greater than the diameter of the through hole on the protective cover.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a photovoltaic solar panel support structure with adaptive angle adjustment, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This invention installs a rotating shaft on the outer wall of the bracket and rotatably connects the rotating shaft to the protective cover. After connecting the protective cover to the mounting base, the bracket is installed. The protective cavity formed by the protective cover and the side wall of the mounting base protects the rotating shaft and the connecting parts on the rotating shaft, making them less prone to rust, reducing the number of maintenance operations, and extending the service life of the device.

[0021] 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.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the existing solar panel bracket 4 and mounting base 1 are connected by a hinge, which passes through the left and right side walls of the bracket 4 and extends to the outside of the mounting base 1. After installation, both the hinge portion on the inside of the bracket 4 and the hinge portion on the outside of the mounting base 1 are exposed, as are the nuts on the hinges on the outside of the mounting base 1. These are easily exposed to wind and rain, and over time, they are prone to rusting. This makes it difficult for the bracket 4 to rotate and for the nuts to be removed, requiring frequent maintenance of these parts and increasing the workload of the staff.

[0023] Please see Figure 2 - Figure 6 An adaptive angle-adjustable photovoltaic solar panel support structure includes a mounting base 1. The front projection of the mounting base 1 is U-shaped. Protective covers 2 are detachably connected to the left and right inner sides of the mounting base 1. A protective cavity 3 is formed between the side walls of the mounting base 1 and the protective covers 2. When the protective covers 2 are installed on the mounting base 1, the top side wall of the protective covers 2 is tightly fitted to the side wall of the mounting base 1, and the bottom surface of the side wall of the protective covers 2 is tightly fitted to the upper surface of the bottom wall of the mounting base 1, so that the protective covers 2 and the side walls of the mounting base 1 can seal the top surface and the left and right sides of the protective cavity 3.

[0024] Specifically, two limiting blocks 101 are fixedly installed on the left and right side walls of the mounting base 1. Each limiting block 101 has a limiting opening 102. Two limiting plates 201 are fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the protective cover 2. The limiting openings 102 are used for the insertion of the limiting plates 201. The limiting openings 102 and the limiting plates 201 are connected by bolts, so that the mounting base 1 and the protective cover 2 can be fixed together by the connection of the limiting blocks 101 and the limiting plates 201. The two limiting blocks 101 on the same side are symmetrically distributed front and back. The bottom surface of the limiting block 101 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the mounting base 1, and the side surface of the limiting block 101 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting base 1.

[0025] Meanwhile, threaded holes are provided on the top surface of the limiting block 101 and the limiting plate 201. The threaded holes on the limiting block 101 are connected to the limiting opening 102. When the limiting plate 201 is inserted into the limiting opening 102, the two threaded holes are aligned, so that workers can fix the limiting block 101 and the limiting plate 201 together with bolts. At the same time, after the protective cover 2 is installed, the limiting block 101 is located below the top wall of the protective cover 2, so that the protective cover 2 can also provide a certain degree of protection for the limiting block 101.

[0026] Furthermore, a support portion 4 is hinged between the two protective covers 2. A rotating shaft 401 is fixed on both the left and right sides of the support portion 4. The rotating shaft 401 extends into the protective cavity 3 so that the protective cover 2 can protect the rotating shaft 401, thereby making the rotating shaft 401 less susceptible to the effects of wind, dust and rain, and extending its service life.

[0027] The protective cover 2 has a through hole on its side wall. The diameter of the rotating shaft 401 is no larger than the diameter of the through hole, so that the rotating shaft 401 can pass through the through hole and rotate within it. The rotating shaft 401 is located below the top wall of the protective cover 2, and the top wall of the protective cover 2 is inverted V-shaped. Therefore, when rainwater falls on the protective cover 2, the protective cover 2 can guide the rainwater to the front and rear sides, reducing the amount of rainwater entering the protective cavity 3, thereby reducing the impact on the rotating shaft 401, avoiding greater resistance when the support part 4 rotates, and making the angle adjustment process of the solar panel easier.

[0028] In this embodiment, the top projection shape of the support portion 4 is U-shaped, and the width of the support portion 4 is no greater than the distance between the two protective covers 2, so that the support portion 4 can rotate between the two protective covers 2. Two rotating shafts 401 are fixedly connected to the left and right outer surfaces of the support portion 4. Figure 1 The hinge design in the device eliminates the need for a pivot 401 inside the support section 4, preventing rainwater and dust entering the support section 4 from affecting the pivot 401 and further improving the device's durability.

[0029] It should be noted that the end of the rotating shaft 401 that extends into the protective cavity 3 is screwed with a nut. The width of the opposite sides of the nut is greater than the diameter of the through hole on the protective cover 2, and the nut does not contact the inner wall of the protective cover 2 after installation, so as to reduce the resistance of the rotating shaft 401 when rotating, making it easier for the staff to adjust the angle of the solar panel.

[0030] Application scenarios and operation procedures of this utility model: When using this device, it needs to be combined with other support components to form an integrated support structure, such as a diagonal beam, a front column, and a rear column. First, the front and rear columns are fixedly installed perpendicular to the ground. Then, the support part 4 is installed to the top of the front and rear columns using bolts or other connecting parts. The side of the mounting base 1 away from the support part 4 faces upward, and the diagonal beam is installed on the side of the mounting base 1 away from the support part 4. Finally, the solar panel is installed on the diagonal beam.

[0031] In use, first pass the rotating shafts 401 on the left and right sides of the bracket part 4 through the through holes on the two protective covers 2, and then screw the nuts onto the rotating shafts 401 so that the bracket part 4 and the protective cover 2 cannot be separated. Then, insert the limiting plate 201 on the protective cover 2 into the limiting port 102 on the limiting block 101 from the side of the limiting block 101. Then, use bolts to connect the limiting block 101 and the limiting plate 201 so that the protective cover 2 is installed on the mounting base 1. At this time, the mounting base 1, the protective cover 2 and the bracket part 4 can be installed. The mounting base 1 can then rotate around the rotating shaft 401 to adjust the angle of the inclined beam on the mounting base 1, thereby adjusting the solar panel on the inclined beam.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
