Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic carport technology, specifically to a flexible support photovoltaic carport. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing global demand for clean energy, photovoltaic (PV) power generation, as a green and sustainable energy acquisition method, has received widespread attention and application. Among various PV power generation scenarios, PV carports, due to their dual function of providing shade for vehicles and utilizing idle space for power generation, are a typical application of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) and have become a highly promising development direction. Traditional PV carports use solar panel modules as the roof and a rigid structure as the supporting load-bearing structure, forming an integral rigid PV carport structure.

[0003] However, rigid photovoltaic carports have some limitations. First, rigid supports typically require a large amount of steel or other building materials, resulting in high construction costs and installation difficulties. Second, they have poor resilience to external loads such as wind loads, making the solar panels prone to damage. Existing photovoltaic carports are difficult to construct and have poor durability. This solution addresses these technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a flexible support photovoltaic carport. Several cables are tensioned and connected between two side support mechanisms, and connecting blocks for fixing photovoltaic panel components are installed on the cables. The photovoltaic panel components are arranged at equal intervals on the cables via the connecting blocks, forming a flexible support structure. This reduces the use of building materials such as steel, lowering the construction cost of the photovoltaic carport and simplifying installation. Furthermore, the flexible deformation of the cables and the gaps between the photovoltaic panel components buffer wind loads and prevent friction and collision between the photovoltaic panel components, thus improving the durability of the photovoltaic carport.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a flexible bracket photovoltaic carport, including two side support mechanisms, and also including a plurality of cables arrayed and connected between the two side support mechanisms, a plurality of photovoltaic panel components arrayed on the cables, a preset gap for avoiding mutual collision and friction between two adjacent photovoltaic panel components, the plurality of photovoltaic panel components being connected in parallel or in series to form a power generation unit, the power generation unit being connected to an inverter, and the side support mechanisms being fixedly installed on the ground.

[0006] The side support mechanism includes a side beam, several vertical supports set on the bottom side of the side beam, and inclined supports set on the side of the vertical supports. The two ends of the cable are arrayed between the two side beams. The vertical supports and the inclined supports are all fixedly set on the ground.

[0007] The side beams are inclined toward the sun, and scissor braces are provided between two adjacent uprights.

[0008] One end of the upright brace is provided with a connecting plate 1 that is bolted to the side beam, and one end of the diagonal brace is provided with a connecting plate 2 that abuts against the bottom of the side beam. The connecting plate 1 and the connecting plate 2 are bolted together.

[0009] Both the vertical support and the diagonal support have a base plate at the other end that is connected to the anchor bolts pre-embedded in the ground.

[0010] Several central support beams are provided between the two side support mechanisms. The central support beams include a horizontal support part for supporting the cable and a vertical support part connected to the horizontal support part. Several cables are provided through the horizontal support part. The bottom of the vertical support part is provided with a base plate that is connected to the anchor bolts pre-embedded in the ground.

[0011] The outer side of the cable is provided with a connecting block for fixing the photovoltaic panel assembly, and the photovoltaic panel assembly is bolted to the connecting block.

[0012] The bottom side of each photovoltaic panel assembly is connected to at least two of the cables via the connecting block.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] (1) Several cables are tensioned between the two side support mechanisms. Connecting blocks for fixing photovoltaic panels are set on the cables. The photovoltaic panels are arranged at equal intervals on the cables through the connecting blocks to form a flexible support structure. On the one hand, the use of building materials such as steel is reduced, the construction cost of the photovoltaic carport is reduced, and the installation is simple and convenient. On the other hand, the wind load is buffered by the flexible deformation of the cables and the gap between the photovoltaic panels, while avoiding friction and collision between the photovoltaic panels, thus improving the durability of the photovoltaic carport.

[0015] (2) One end of the diagonal brace is connected to the upright brace by bolts, and the other end of the diagonal brace is connected to the anchor bolts through the base plate. The upright brace is tightened and fixed by the diagonal brace, so that the cable is tightened and the connection between the cable and the photovoltaic panel is more secure and reliable.

[0016] (3) The middle part of several cables is supported by the cross bracing of the middle support beam, which reduces the pressure of the photovoltaic panel load on the cables, and the cables bear less tension, thus improving the durability and stability of the photovoltaic carport.

[0027] To more clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the following detailed implementation method will be used to explain the solution.

[0028] See Figures 1-9 A flexible bracket photovoltaic carport includes two side support mechanisms 1, and also includes several cables 2 arrayed between the two side support mechanisms 1, and several photovoltaic panel components 3 arrayed on the cables 2. A preset gap 31 is provided between two adjacent photovoltaic panel components 3 to avoid mutual collision and friction. Several photovoltaic panel components 3 are connected in parallel or in series to form a power generation unit. The power generation unit is connected to an inverter. The side support mechanisms 1 are fixedly set on the ground.

[0029] The side support mechanism 1 includes a side beam 11, several vertical supports 12 arranged on the bottom side of the side beam 11, and inclined supports 13 arranged on the side of the vertical supports 12. The two ends of the cable 2 are arranged in an array between the two side beams 11. The vertical supports 12 and the inclined supports 13 are both fixedly set on the ground.

[0030] The side beam 11 is inclined towards the sun, and a scissor brace 14 is installed between two adjacent uprights 12.

[0031] One end of the upright brace 12 is provided with a connecting plate 121 that is bolted to the side beam 11, and one end of the diagonal brace 13 is provided with a connecting plate 131 that abuts against the bottom of the side beam 11. The connecting plate 121 and the connecting plate 131 are bolted together.

[0032] The other end of both the vertical support 12 and the diagonal support 13 is equipped with a base plate 4 that is connected to the pre-embedded anchor bolts on the ground.

[0033] Several central support beams 5 are provided between the two side support mechanisms 1. The central support beams 5 include a horizontal support part 51 for supporting the cable 2 and a vertical support part 52 connected to the horizontal support part 51. Several cables 2 are provided through the horizontal support part 51. The bottom of the vertical support part 52 is provided with a base plate 4 that is connected to the pre-embedded anchor bolts on the ground.

[0034] The outer side of the cable 2 is provided with a connecting block 6 for fixing the photovoltaic panel assembly 3, and the photovoltaic panel assembly 3 is bolted to the connecting block 6.

[0035] The bottom side of each photovoltaic panel 3 is connected to at least two cables 2 via connecting blocks 6.

[0036] The specific working process of this utility model:

[0037] First, pre-embed anchor bolts on the ground according to the installation position of the carport. Then, install the vertical support 12 of the side support mechanism 1 vertically on the anchor bolts through the base plate 4. Then, install the base plate 4 of the diagonal support 13 on the corresponding anchor bolts. Connect the connecting plate 2 131 at the other end of the diagonal support 13 to the connecting plate 121 of the vertical support 12. Then, firmly connect the side beam 11 to the vertical support 12 and the diagonal support 13 through the connecting plate 121 and the connecting plate 2 131.

[0038] Install the central support beam 5, fix the base plate 4 of the two central support beams 5 to the anchor bolts, pass the cable 2 through the cross brace 51 in sequence, pass the connecting block 6 through the cable 2 one by one, and fix the connecting block 6 at equal intervals on the cable 2 to the set position by bolts. Finally, tighten both ends of the cable 2 and connect it firmly to the two side beams 11 to complete the installation of the cable 2.

[0039] The photovoltaic panel assembly 3 is laid on the connecting block 6 of the cable 2. The photovoltaic panel assembly 3 is arranged at equal intervals on the connecting block 6 by bolts, so that there is a fixed gap 31 between each photovoltaic panel assembly 3. Finally, the photovoltaic panel assembly 3 is connected in series or in parallel, and the output terminal is connected to the junction box for output through the inverter.

[0040] By tensioning and connecting several cables 2 between two side support mechanisms 1, and setting connecting blocks 6 on the cables 2 for fixing photovoltaic panel components 3, the photovoltaic panel components 3 are arranged at equal intervals on the cables 2 through the connecting blocks 6, forming a flexible support structure. On the one hand, it reduces the use of building materials such as steel, lowers the construction cost of the photovoltaic carport, and makes installation simple and convenient. On the other hand, the flexible deformation of the cables 2 and the gaps 31 between the photovoltaic panel components 3 buffer the wind load, while avoiding friction and collision between the photovoltaic panel components 3, thus improving the durability of the photovoltaic carport.

[0041] One end of the diagonal brace 13 is bolted to the upright brace 12, and the other end of the diagonal brace 13 is connected to the anchor bolt through the base plate 4. The upright brace 12 is tightened and fixed by the diagonal brace 13, thereby making the cable 2 taut and the connection between the cable 2 and the photovoltaic panel module 3 more secure and reliable.

[0042] The cross bracing 51 of the central support beam 5 supports the middle of several cables 2, reducing the pressure of the photovoltaic panel module 3 on the cables 2. The cables 2 bear less tension, which improves the durability and stability of the photovoltaic carport.

[0043] Specifically, this solution has the following advantages compared to existing technologies:

[0044] Cost advantages: Compared to traditional rigid-frame photovoltaic carports, this solution significantly reduces the amount of materials used, especially steel, thus lowering material costs. Furthermore, its installation process is simple, requiring no complex foundation construction, reducing labor costs and construction time, and lowering overall construction costs.

[0045] Ease of installation: The flexible support frame's uprights 12 and side beams 11 adopt a modular design, with each component connected by bolts, making installation convenient and quick. Adjustable anchor bolts and connecting blocks 6 allow the carport to adapt to different terrains and lighting conditions, enabling easy installation in various complex sites and improving installation efficiency.

[0046] Environmental adaptability: Through the intelligent control system's automatic adjustment of the cable preload and photovoltaic module angle, the carport can maintain good working condition under different wind, sunlight, and temperature conditions. The flexible support system has good buffering capacity against natural disasters such as earthquakes, improving the carport's safety and stability, and enabling it to operate normally in a variety of harsh environments.

[0047] Space utilization optimization: The flexible support structure has a compact design and a small footprint, providing more parking spaces within a limited area. Furthermore, its strong adaptability to complex terrain allows for the construction of photovoltaic carports on irregular or narrow sites, improving land resource utilization.
