Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar energy equipment technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic panel support. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional fixed photovoltaic panel brackets are bulky and difficult to carry. In addition, they generally use screws, nails or expansion bolts for fixing. This fixing method is not only cumbersome to operate, but also makes it difficult to adjust the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel after fixing the angle. Special tools are often required to remove and re-fix the brackets to adjust the support angle of the solar panel, making it extremely inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a photovoltaic panel support that is easy to carry and allows for easy adjustment of the support angle.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the photovoltaic panel support proposed in this utility model includes:

[0005] The first bracket is rotatably connected to the upper part of the photovoltaic panel;

[0006] The second bracket is rotatably connected to the lower end of the photovoltaic panel. At least one of the first bracket and the second bracket includes a bracket sleeve. The bracket sleeve includes at least a first sleeve and a second sleeve that can telescopically move along the extension direction of the first sleeve. The first bracket and the second bracket are rotatably connected.

[0007] The photovoltaic panel bracket has a supported state and a retracted state. In the supported state, the second bracket abuts against the placement surface, and the second sleeve extends out of the first sleeve. In the retracted state, both the first bracket and the second bracket are attached to the photovoltaic panel.

[0008] In one embodiment, both the first support and the second support include the support sleeve.

[0009] In one embodiment, the first sleeve is connected to the photovoltaic panel, the other end of the first sleeve is connected to the second sleeve via an adjustment component, and the end of the second sleeve away from the first sleeve is rotatably connected to the first bracket or the second bracket.

[0010] In one embodiment, the adjusting assembly includes an adjusting switch and an elastic locking member. The first sleeve has an adjusting positioning hole, and the second sleeve has a plurality of spaced adjusting holes. The adjusting switch is rotatably connected relative to the first sleeve rod. The elastic locking member is disposed between the adjusting switch and the first sleeve. The adjusting assembly has a fixed state and an adjusting state. In the fixed state, the elastic locking member can be abutted by the adjusting switch and locked with the adjusting holes and the adjusting positioning holes. The elastic locking member has elastic potential energy to maintain the first sleeve and the second sleeve fixed to each other. In the adjusting state, one end of the adjusting switch rotates away from the first sleeve, the elastic potential energy of the elastic locking member decreases, and the second sleeve can move relative to the first sleeve.

[0011] In one embodiment, the adjusting assembly further includes a snap-fit ​​groove disposed on the first sleeve, the opening of the snap-fit ​​groove being disposed toward the adjusting switch, and the adjusting switch having a snap-fit ​​rib corresponding to the snap-fit ​​groove. In the fixed state, the sidewall of the snap-fit ​​groove abuts against the snap-fit ​​rib; in the adjusting state, the snap-fit ​​rib is located on the side of the snap-fit ​​groove away from the second sleeve.

[0012] In one embodiment, the adjusting assembly further includes a fixed pressure block, which is fixedly connected to the first sleeve. The adjusting switch is disposed between the fixed pressure block and the first sleeve and is rotatably connected to the fixed pressure block. The snap-fit ​​groove is formed in the fixed pressure block.

[0013] In one embodiment, the adjusting switch has a rotating part, an abutting part, and a toggle part arranged sequentially. The rotating part is rotatably connected to the fixed pressure block, the abutting part abuts against the elastic locking member, and the locking rib is provided on the abutting part. The toggle part extends in a direction away from the rotating part.

[0014] In one embodiment, the regulating switch is provided with a limiting hole, which is located on the side near the first sleeve, and the limiting hole is used to accommodate the elastic snap-fit ​​member.

[0015] In one embodiment, the elastic locking member includes an elastic element and a locking bead. One end of the elastic element abuts against the adjusting switch element, and the other end abuts against the locking bead. The diameter of the locking bead is larger than the diameter of the adjusting hole and the diameter of the adjusting positioning hole, and it can engage with the adjusting hole and the adjusting positioning hole.

[0016] In one embodiment, the first bracket is hinged to the photovoltaic panel via a single-column hinge, the single-column hinge including a hinge column and two hinged hinges rotatably connected to the hinge column, the two hinged hinges respectively connecting the first bracket and the photovoltaic panel.

[0017] In one embodiment, the second bracket is hinged to the photovoltaic panel via a double-column hinge. The double-column hinge includes two hinge columns, a transition hinge disposed between the two hinge columns and rotatably connected to the two hinge columns, and two hinge joints rotatably connected to the two hinge columns respectively. One hinge joint is connected to the photovoltaic panel, and the other hinge joint is connected to the second bracket.

[0018] In one embodiment, the first bracket and the second bracket are hinged together by the single-column hinge, which includes a hinge column and two hinged hinges rotatably connected to the hinge column. The two hinged hinges are respectively connected to the first bracket and the second bracket.

[0019] In one embodiment, the second bracket has bolt through holes at both the end closest to the photovoltaic panel and the end furthest from the photovoltaic panel, through which bolts can pass to fix the second bracket to the placement surface.

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model involves setting up a first bracket and a second bracket that are rotatably connected to and mutually connected with the photovoltaic panel. This allows the first and second brackets to fit against the back of the photovoltaic panel when stored, reducing the storage volume of the photovoltaic panel support and facilitating portability. In use, by extending the length of the bracket assembly on the first and / or second brackets, the second bracket is rotated to fit against the placement surface. At this point, a supporting triangular structure is formed between the first and second brackets and the photovoltaic panel, providing stable support for the photovoltaic panel. When it is necessary to adjust the support angle of the photovoltaic panel, the support angle can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the bracket assembly on the first and / or second brackets. The steps are simple, allowing users to quickly and easily complete the support and angle adjustment of the photovoltaic panel. Attached Figure Description

[0038] This utility model proposes a photovoltaic panel bracket.

[0039] Please see Figures 1 to 8 In one embodiment of this utility model, the photovoltaic panel 300 support includes:

[0040] The first support 100 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the photovoltaic panel 300;

[0041] The second support 200 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the photovoltaic panel 300. At least one of the first support 100 and the second support 200 includes a support sleeve 21. The support sleeve 21 includes at least a first sleeve 211 and a second sleeve 213 that can telescopically move along the extension direction of the first sleeve 211. The first support 100 and the second support 200 are rotatably connected.

[0042] The photovoltaic panel 300 support has a supported state and a retracted state. In the supported state, the second support 200 abuts against the placement surface, and the second sleeve 213 extends out of the first sleeve 211. In the retracted state, both the first support 100 and the second support 200 are attached to the photovoltaic panel 300.

[0043] The technical solution of this utility model involves setting up a first bracket 100 and a second bracket 200 that are rotatably connected to and mutually connected to the photovoltaic panel 300. This allows the first bracket 100 and the second bracket 200 to fit against the back of the photovoltaic panel 300 during storage, reducing the storage volume of the photovoltaic panel 300 support and facilitating portability. In use, by extending the length of the bracket sleeve 21 on the first bracket 100 and / or the second bracket 200, the second bracket 200 can be rotated to fit against the placement surface. At this time, a supporting triangular structure is formed between the first bracket 100, the second bracket 200, and the photovoltaic panel 300, achieving stable support for the photovoltaic panel 300. When it is necessary to adjust the support angle of the photovoltaic panel 300, the support angle can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the bracket sleeve 21 on the first bracket 100 and / or the second bracket 200. The steps are simple, allowing users to quickly and easily complete the support and angle adjustment of the photovoltaic panel 300.

[0044] In one embodiment, both the first support 100 and the second support 200 include a support sleeve 21. That is, both the first support 100 and the second support 200 are adjustable in length. In this case, the photovoltaic panel 300 support can better adapt to various irregular placement surfaces. For example, the photovoltaic panel 300 support can be installed on sloping ground or uneven terrain. By adjusting the length of the two supports, even on completely uneven surfaces, the photovoltaic panel 300 can be kept at a suitable tilt angle to maximize the reception of sunlight. Specifically, the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel 300 largely depends on its angle of incidence with sunlight. The adjustable length of both supports allows for more precise adjustment of the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel 300 according to changes in the sun's azimuth and altitude angle at different times and in different seasons. For example, in summer when the solar altitude angle is high, the first support 100 can be shortened and / or the second support 200 extended to make the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel 300 relatively small; while in winter when the solar altitude angle is low, the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel 300 can be increased by adjusting the length of the support, so that the photovoltaic panel 300 can face the sun as directly as possible, thereby improving the efficiency of converting light energy into electrical energy. During installation, the two adjustable-length supports make it easier for installers to fix the photovoltaic panel 300 support in a suitable position. Whether installed indoors or outdoors, the length of the support can be flexibly adjusted according to the size and layout of the installation space. In the storage state, since both supports are adjustable in length, the support and the photovoltaic panel 300 can fit tightly together, reducing storage space and facilitating the handling of the photovoltaic panel 300 support when not in use or during transportation, improving the convenience of installation and storage. In other embodiments, only one of the first support 100 and the second support 200 may include the support sleeve 21.

[0045] In one embodiment, the first sleeve 211 is connected to the photovoltaic panel 300, and the other end of the first sleeve 211 is connected to the second sleeve 213 via an adjusting component 22. The end of the second sleeve 213 away from the first sleeve 211 is rotatably connected to the first bracket 100 or the second bracket 200. When both the first bracket 100 and the second bracket 200 are provided with bracket sleeves 21, the end of the second sleeve 213 on one bracket sleeve 21 away from the first sleeve 211 is rotatably connected to the second sleeve 213 on the other bracket sleeve 21.

[0046] In one embodiment, the adjustment assembly 22 includes an adjustment switch 221 and an elastic locking member 227. The first sleeve 211 has an adjustment positioning hole 212, and the second sleeve 213 has multiple spaced adjustment holes 214. The adjustment switch 221 is rotatably connected relative to the first sleeve rod. The elastic locking member 227 is located between the adjustment switch 221 and the first sleeve 211. The adjustment assembly 22 has a fixed state and an adjustment state. In the fixed state, the elastic locking member 227 is abutted by the adjustment switch 221 and engages with the adjustment holes 214 and the adjustment positioning hole 212. The elastic locking member 227 has elastic potential energy to maintain the first sleeve 211 and the second sleeve 213 fixed together. In the adjustment state, when one end of the adjustment switch is rotated away from the first sleeve 211, the elastic potential energy of the elastic locking member 227 decreases, and the second sleeve 213 can move relative to the first sleeve 211. The fixed state and the adjustment state can be switched by rotating the adjustment switch 221. When the bracket length needs to be adjusted, simply rotate one end of the adjusting switch 221 to a position away from the first sleeve 211. This reduces the elastic potential energy of the elastic locking member 227, thereby releasing the fixation on the second sleeve 213. The second sleeve 213 can then be easily moved, changing its position relative to the first sleeve 211, thus adjusting the bracket length. This process eliminates the need for cumbersome disassembly and installation using screwdrivers, wrenches, or other tools, reducing operational difficulty, saving adjustment time, and facilitating quick length adjustment of the bracket in different scenarios to adapt to various installation needs and usage environments.

[0047] When the adjustment component 22 is in a fixed state, the elastic locking member 227, under the abutment of the adjustment switch member 221, can tightly engage with the adjustment positioning hole 212 on the first sleeve 211 and the adjustment hole 214 on the second sleeve 213, and the elastic locking member 227 has elastic potential energy to maintain the first sleeve 211 and the second sleeve 213 fixed to each other. This design enables a stable connection between the first sleeve 211 and the second sleeve 213, preventing loosening due to external forces during normal use, thereby providing stable support for the photovoltaic panel 300.

[0048] The second sleeve 213 is provided with multiple spaced adjustment holes 214, which allows for multiple adjustable length settings. The appropriate adjustment hole 214 position can be selected according to the actual installation site conditions and the installation requirements of the photovoltaic panel 300, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the support length and better meeting the needs of different heights and tilt angles. For example, when installing the photovoltaic panel 300 on ground with different slopes, the length of the support can be adjusted to keep the photovoltaic panel 300 at an ideal tilt angle to maximize the reception of sunlight and improve photovoltaic power generation efficiency. It also adapts to situations where the angle of the photovoltaic panel 300 needs to be fine-tuned due to seasonal changes or changes in the solar altitude angle. In other embodiments, the first sleeve 211 and the second sleeve 213 can be fixed together using hand-tightened bolts or other fasteners.

[0049] Furthermore, the first sleeve 211 is fitted onto the second sleeve 213, and a guide sleeve 232 is fitted onto one end of the second sleeve 213 that extends into the first sleeve 211, so that the second sleeve 213 can move smoothly within the first sleeve 211. The guide sleeve 232 includes an upper sleeve 233 and a lower sleeve 234, which are together clamped within the second sleeve 213 to facilitate the installation of the guide sleeve 232 and the second sleeve 213. In other embodiments, the guide sleeve 232 may not be provided.

[0050] In one embodiment, the adjusting assembly 22 further includes a snap-fit ​​groove 231 disposed on the first sleeve 211. The opening of the snap-fit ​​groove 231 faces the adjusting switch 221. The adjusting switch 221 has a snap-fit ​​rib 224 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​groove 231. In the fixed state, the sidewall of the snap-fit ​​groove 231 abuts against the snap-fit ​​rib 224. In the adjusting state, the snap-fit ​​rib 224 is located on the side of the snap-fit ​​groove 231 away from the second sleeve 213. The cooperation between the snap-fit ​​rib 224 and the snap-fit ​​groove 231 provides a clear limit for the adjusting switch 221. When in a fixed state, the bottom wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 231 abuts against the snap-fit ​​protrusion 224, ensuring that the adjusting switch 221 can stably press the elastic snap-fit ​​227, so that the relative position between the second sleeve 213 and the first sleeve 211 is stable, thereby enhancing the stability of the entire adjusting assembly 22 and effectively preventing the adjusting switch 221 from rotating unexpectedly due to external force or vibration during use, thus avoiding the length fixation of the bracket due to the loosening of the second sleeve 213. During adjustment, rotating the adjustment switch applies force to the adjustment switch 221, causing a moderate elastic deformation of the adjustment latching member. This allows the latching rib 224 to slide past the side wall of the latching groove 231 and disengage from the opening of the latching groove 231. At this time, under the action of the elastic potential energy of the elastic latching member 227, the adjustment switch 221 tends to rotate away from the second sleeve 213. That is, the elastic potential energy of the elastic latching member 227 decreases, allowing the first sleeve 211 and the second sleeve 213 to move relative to each other, thereby adjusting the extension length of the first bracket 100 or the second bracket 200. In summary, simply rotating the adjustment switch 221 to an appropriate position achieves the switching between the fixed state and the adjustment state, eliminating the need for complex operation steps, reducing operational difficulty, and improving operational efficiency. In other embodiments, the adjustment switch 221 can also be fixed to the first sleeve 211 in other ways to maintain the elastic potential energy of the elastic latching member 227. Furthermore, the adjusting switch 221 is made of a material such as hard plastic or metal that has a certain degree of hardness and can undergo slight elastic deformation.

[0051] In one embodiment, the adjusting assembly 22 further includes a fixing block 230, which is fixedly connected to the first sleeve 211. An adjusting switch 221 is disposed between the fixing block 230 and the first sleeve 211 and is rotatably connected to the fixing block 230. A snap-fit ​​groove 231 is formed in the fixing block 230. Due to the fixed support function of the fixing block 230, the adjusting switch 221 will not loosen or wobble during rotation, thus ensuring the stability of the adjusting assembly 22 when switching between different states and improving the reliability of the entire support structure. By placing the adjusting switch 221 between the fixing block 230 and the first sleeve 211 and forming the snap-fit ​​groove 231 in the fixing block 230, the various components of the adjusting assembly 22 can be more compactly integrated. This layout reduces the space occupied by the adjusting assembly 22 in the axial and radial directions, making the entire adjusting assembly 22 more compact and beneficial for the overall miniaturization and lightweight design of the photovoltaic panel 300 support. The compact structural design allows for closer integration between the various components of the adjustment assembly 22, facilitating assembly and debugging during production. It also facilitates the installation of the adjustment assembly 22 as a single unit when mounting the photovoltaic panel 300 bracket, improving installation efficiency. Furthermore, in terms of processing difficulty, molding the snap-fit ​​groove 231 onto the fixed clamping block 230 is easier than directly machining the snap-fit ​​groove 231 onto the first sleeve 211, especially when the first sleeve 211 has a complex structure or is made of a difficult-to-process material. The fixed clamping block 230 can be designed and manufactured separately, allowing for the use of more suitable processing techniques and materials, improving processing accuracy and quality. Molding the snap-fit ​​groove 231 onto the fixed clamping block 230 makes it easier to control the dimensional and positional accuracy of each component during production. This helps improve the consistency and stability of the adjustment assembly 22, reducing problems such as poor snap-fit ​​due to processing errors, thereby improving product quality stability. In other embodiments, the fixed clamping block 230 may not be included.

[0052] In one embodiment, the adjusting switch 221 has a rotating portion 222, an abutting portion 223, and a toggle portion 226 arranged sequentially. The rotating portion 222 is rotatably connected to the fixed pressure block 230, the abutting portion 223 abuts against the elastic locking member 227, and a locking rib 224 is provided on the abutting portion 223. The toggle portion 226 extends away from the rotating portion 222. The toggle portion 226 extending away from the rotating portion 222 provides the operator with a comfortable and easy-to-apply position. During adjustment, the operator can easily rotate the adjusting switch 221 around the rotating portion 222 by toggling the toggle portion 226, thereby switching between the adjusting state and the fixed state, reducing the difficulty of operation and improving the convenience of operation. In other embodiments, the toggle portion 226 may be omitted. Furthermore, when both the first bracket 100 and the second bracket 200 include bracket sleeves 21, the adjusting switch 221 on the first bracket 100 does not include a toggle part 226, while the adjusting switch 221 on the second bracket 200 includes a toggle part 226. That is, during the use of the photovoltaic bracket, the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel 300 is mainly adjusted by adjusting the length of the second bracket 200. In another embodiment, when both the first bracket 100 and the second bracket 200 include bracket sleeves 21, the adjusting switch 221 on both the first bracket 100 and the second bracket 200 may include a toggle part 226; or neither may include a toggle part 226.

[0053] In one embodiment, the regulating switch is provided with a limiting hole 225, which is located on the side near the first sleeve 211. The limiting hole 225 is used to accommodate the elastic locking member 227. During use, the elastic locking member 227 is accommodated by the limiting hole 225, which effectively prevents it from accidentally dislodging from between the regulating switch 221 and the first sleeve 211 when subjected to external force or vibration. This avoids the regulating assembly 22 from malfunctioning due to the loss or damage of the elastic locking member 227, thereby improving the overall safety of the support structure. The limiting hole 225 provides a stable accommodating space for the elastic locking member 227, allowing it to maintain a relatively fixed position during the rotation of the regulating switch 221, reducing the shaking or displacement of the elastic locking member 227, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the regulating assembly 22. In other embodiments, the limiting hole 225 may not be provided.

[0054] In one embodiment, the elastic locking member 227 includes an elastic member 228 and a locking bead 229. One end of the elastic member 228 abuts against the adjusting switch member 221, and the other end abuts against the locking bead 229. The diameter of the locking bead 229 is larger than the diameter of the adjusting hole 214 and the diameter of the adjusting positioning hole 212, and it can engage with the adjusting hole 214 and the adjusting positioning hole 212.

[0055] The diameter of the retaining bead 229 is larger than the diameters of the adjustment hole 214 and the adjustment positioning hole 212, enabling a tight fit during engagement. This prevents the retaining bead 229 from slipping out of the hole due to external forces, ensuring a secure and reliable connection between the first sleeve 211 and the second sleeve 213, providing stable support for the photovoltaic panel 300 bracket. The elastic force of the elastic element 228 continuously applies pressure to the retaining bead 229, keeping it tightly fitted to the edge of the adjustment hole 214 or the adjustment positioning hole 212. Even under vibration or external forces, it maintains the engagement, effectively preventing the bracket from becoming unstable during use. The retaining bead 229 can flexibly move in and out of the adjustment hole 214 and the adjustment positioning hole 212 under the action of the elastic force. During adjustment, it is not necessary to completely disengage the retaining bead 229 from the adjustment positioning hole 212 or adjustment hole 214. Overcoming the elastic force of the elastic element 228 is sufficient to disengage the retaining bead 229, allowing relative movement between the first sleeve 211 and the second sleeve 213. This operation is simple and convenient, requiring no additional tools for disassembly and installation. Furthermore, when the retaining bead 229 engages with the adjustment hole 214 or adjustment positioning hole 212, it provides clear tactile and auditory feedback, allowing operators to intuitively judge whether the engagement is in place, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of the adjustment operation. The elastic retaining element 227 has a relatively simple structure, is easy to manufacture and assemble, reducing production costs and process complexity. If the elastic retaining element 227 is worn or damaged, the elastic element 228 or retaining bead 229 can be replaced individually without replacing the entire adjustment assembly 22, reducing maintenance costs and resource waste, and improving the product's economy and maintainability. In other embodiments, the elastic retaining element 227 can also be of other types of engagement structures.

[0056] In one embodiment, the first support 100 is hinged to the photovoltaic panel 300 via a single-column hinge 11. The single-column hinge 11 includes a hinge column 241 and two hinged hinges 243 rotatably connected to the hinge column 241. The two hinged hinges 243 respectively connect the first support 100 and the photovoltaic panel 300. This enables a stable connection between the first support 100 and the photovoltaic panel 300. In other embodiments, the first support 100 and the second support 200 are also hinged via the single-column hinge 11.

[0057] In one embodiment, the second support 200 is hinged to the photovoltaic panel 300 via a double-column hinge 24. The double-column hinge 24 includes two hinge columns 241, a transition hinge 242 disposed between the two hinge columns 241 and rotatably connected to them, and two hinged hinges 243 rotatably connected to the two hinge columns 241 respectively. One hinged hinge 243 connects to the photovoltaic panel 300, and the other hinged hinge 243 connects to the second support 200. The design of the double-column hinge 24 enhances the support's wind and earthquake resistance. Under the action of external forces such as strong winds or earthquakes, the multi-point connection structure can better resist the impact of external forces, reduce the swaying and displacement of the support, and ensure the safety and stability of the photovoltaic panel 300. During installation, if the placement surface is uneven to a certain extent, the multi-point adjustment function of the double-column hinge 24 can adapt to this irregularity, allowing the photovoltaic panel 300 to be kept in a relatively horizontal position, ensuring its normal operation. In other embodiments, the second support 200 may be hinged to the photovoltaic panel 300 via a single-column hinge 11.

[0058] In one embodiment, the second bracket 200 has bolt through holes 25 at both the end closest to the photovoltaic panel 300 and the end furthest from the photovoltaic panel 300. Bolts can pass through the bolt through holes to fix the second bracket 200 to the placement surface, thereby enhancing the support stability of the photovoltaic panel 300 bracket. In other embodiments, bolt fixing holes may not be provided.

[0059] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
