A connecting rod 4 is fixedly connected between the movable wheel assemblies 3 on the two legs of the support ladder 1. A cargo-carrying component is installed on the connecting rod 4. A fixed pulley 5 is also installed on the connecting rod 4. A cable 6 is connected to the fixed pulley 5. One end of the cable 6 is wound around the top of the support ladder 1 and then fixedly connected to a winch 7. In this embodiment, the support ladder 1 is a conventional support ladder structure, including two legs connected by several crossbars to ensure stability. The tops of the legs rest against the photovoltaic support, and the bottoms of the legs insert into the ground to form support. The conveying assembly, including movable wheel assemblies 3 respectively mounted on the two legs, is installed on the support ladder 1. The moving wheel assemblies 3 are connected by connecting rods 4 to achieve synchronous movement. Fixed pulleys 5 are installed on connecting rods 4, and corresponding pulley sets can also be installed on the photovoltaic column. The cable 6 on the fixed pulley 5 is wound around the photovoltaic column and pulled by the lever principle to drive the conveying assembly to move up and down along the support ladder 1. In this embodiment, the cable 6 is connected to the fixed pulley 5, and the other end is connected to the winch 7. The winch 7 is a conventional technical means used for cable release and retraction.
