Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic support technology, specifically a photovoltaic support angle adjustment connector. Background Technology
[0002] The solar photovoltaic (PV) field has been developing for many years, with ground-mounted PV systems being widely used. However, with the increasing development of modern new energy sources, the terrain and environment for ground-mounted PV system installation are becoming increasingly complex. Since solar PV mounting systems are special supports designed for placing, installing, and fixing solar panels, the increasingly complex terrain presents significant challenges to the design and construction of these systems. Existing fixed mounting systems, to ensure strength, often have non-adjustable connection structures, with angles, distances, and other dimensions fixed at the factory. However, on-site installation conditions are complex, requiring consideration of the environment for PV mounting system installation. Fixed mounting systems cannot meet the installation needs of different environments; the tilt angle of the PV modules is fixed and cannot be adjusted according to the site conditions. Therefore, existing connection structures have limitations in different environments.
[0003] In response, Chinese patent application number CN202223329143.6 discloses a column adapter structure, including a column with an opening on one side; a fixing member placed within the opening, with its upper end exposed at the top of the column and its lower end connected to the column; a connecting member movably connected to the upper end of the fixing member; and a longitudinal beam engaged with the upper end of the connecting member. By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model, while ensuring structural strength, enables angle and height adjustment of the photovoltaic panel, increasing the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel, eliminating limitations imposed by different environments, and expanding its application range.
[0004] The structure uses the interlocking of the first and second corrugations and the sliding of the second bolt in the slot to adjust and fix the height of the connector on the fixing part. During adjustment, the operator needs to hold the connector with one hand and tighten the second bolt to fix it. Otherwise, the connector will shift on the second bolt, causing the height to change. The operation is cumbersome and requires two people to cooperate, which increases labor costs.
[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a photovoltaic bracket angle adjustment connector is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a photovoltaic bracket angle adjustment connector to solve the problem mentioned in the background art where the structure uses the first and second corrugations to interlock and the second bolt slides in the slot to adjust and fix the height of the connector on the fixing member. During adjustment, the operator needs to hold the connector with one hand and tighten the second bolt to fix it. Otherwise, the connector will shift on the second bolt, resulting in a change in height. This is cumbersome to operate and requires two people to cooperate, increasing labor costs.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a photovoltaic bracket angle adjustment connector, comprising: a column, wherein a longitudinal beam is installed on the top surface of the column;
[0008] A connecting structure is installed on the column, the connecting structure including a top cover, the top cover being movably installed on the top surface of the column, a cover plate being welded to the rear end of the bottom surface of the top cover, a slot being opened on the bottom surface of the top cover, a connecting plate being welded to the middle of the bottom surface of the top cover, a first bolt being inserted through the bottom end of the connecting plate, a hand-threaded rod being movably installed through the thread on the middle of the top surface of the top cover, a connecting shaft being rotatably connected to the upper end of the hand-threaded rod, a connecting block being rotatably connected to the outer side of the connecting shaft, a U-shaped frame being welded to the top surface of the connecting block, and a second bolt being inserted through the surface of the U-shaped frame.
[0009] Preferably, the upper end of the column is inserted into the slot.
[0010] Preferably, the connecting plate is provided in two sets and is located on the inner side of the connecting plate, and the first bolt passes through the column.
[0011] Preferably, the hand-threaded rod is vertically positioned.
[0012] Preferably, the longitudinal beam is located inside the U-shaped frame, and the second bolt is slidably installed inside the outer wall of the longitudinal beam.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: by setting a threaded hand-operated threaded rod on the top cover, the U-shaped frame on the upper side can be raised and lowered by rotating the hand-operated threaded rod, thereby realizing the adjustment of the longitudinal beam position. The operation is convenient and labor-saving, can be completed by a single person, and is more practical.
[0014] This utility model features a connecting structure. The top cover is placed on the top surface of the column, allowing the connecting plate to be inserted inside the column. The upper end of the column is secured within a slot. This slot provides positioning for the top cover's installation on the column, ensuring alignment between the holes on the column and the connecting plate. This facilitates the first bolt's penetration through the column and connecting plate, making installation of the top cover on the column convenient. Next, the U-shaped frame is rotated. The U-shaped frame, via the connecting block, drives the connecting shaft to rotate on the hand-threaded rod, adjusting the angle of the U-shaped frame. The longitudinal beam is then placed inside the U-shaped frame, and the second bolt... The bolt is slidably installed on the outer wall of the longitudinal beam and passes through the U-shaped frame, which can fix the longitudinal beam to the inside of the U-shaped frame, making assembly convenient. When it is necessary to adjust the position and height of the longitudinal beam, rotate the hand-threaded rod. The hand-threaded rod is threaded to the top cover. When the hand-threaded rod is rotated, it will move up and down on the top surface of the top cover. The upper end of the hand-threaded rod will rotate inside the connecting shaft. The hand-threaded rod drives the connecting block to deflect through the connecting shaft, and drives the U-shaped frame to move up and down through the connecting block, so as to adjust the position and height of the longitudinal beam. The operation is convenient and labor-saving, and can be completed by one person, making it more practical. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The column 1 and longitudinal beam 11 used in this application are products that can be purchased directly on the market. Their principles and connection methods are existing technologies well known to those skilled in the art, so they will not be described in detail here.
[0023] A photovoltaic support bracket angle adjustment connector includes: a column 1, and a longitudinal beam 11 installed on the top surface of the column 1;
[0024] A connecting structure 2 is installed on the column 1. The connecting structure 2 includes a top cover 21, which is movably installed on the top surface of the column 1. A cover plate 22 is welded to the rear end of the bottom surface of the top cover 21. A slot 23 is opened on the bottom surface of the top cover 21. A connecting plate 24 is welded to the middle of the bottom surface of the top cover 21. A first bolt 25 is inserted through the bottom end of the connecting plate 24. A hand-cranked threaded rod 26 is movably installed in the middle of the top surface of the top cover 21 via a thread. A connecting shaft 27 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the hand-cranked threaded rod 26. A connecting block 28 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the connecting shaft 27. A U-shaped frame 29 is welded to the top surface of the connecting block 28. A second bolt 210 is inserted through the surface of the U-shaped frame 29. By setting the threaded hand-cranked threaded rod 26 on the top cover 21, the U-shaped frame 29 on the upper side can be raised and lowered by rotating the hand-cranked threaded rod 26, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position of the longitudinal beam 11. The operation is convenient and labor-saving, and can be completed by a single person, making it more practical.
[0025] Furthermore, the upper end of the column 1 is inserted into the slot 23, which provides a guide for the installation of the top cover 21 on the column 1, so that the hole on the column 1 is aligned with the hole on the connecting plate 24.
[0026] Furthermore, two sets of connecting plates 24 are provided and located on the inner side of the connecting plates 24. The first bolt 25 passes through the column 1, and the column 1 cooperates with the connecting plates 24 to provide connection and fixation for the installation of the top cover 21.
[0027] Furthermore, the hand-operated threaded rod 26 is vertically positioned, and rotating the hand-operated threaded rod 26 can drive the longitudinal beam 11 to move vertically for adjustment.
[0028] Furthermore, the longitudinal beam 11 is located inside the U-shaped frame 29, and the second bolt 210 is slidably installed inside the outer wall of the longitudinal beam 11. The second bolt 210, together with the U-shaped frame 29, provides fixation for the installation of the longitudinal beam 11.
[0029] Working principle: During installation, first place the top cover 21 on the top surface of the column 1, so that the connecting plate 24 is inserted into the inside of the column 1, and the upper end of the column 1 is locked in the inside of the slot 23. The slot 23 provides positioning for the installation of the top cover 21 on the column 1, and ensures that the hole on the column 1 is aligned with the hole on the connecting plate 24, so that the first bolt 25 can pass through the column 1 and the connecting plate 24, which facilitates the installation of the top cover 21 on the column 1. Then rotate the U-shaped frame 29. The U-shaped frame 29 drives the connecting shaft 27 to rotate on the hand-turned threaded rod 26 through the connecting block 28. The angle of the U-shaped frame 29 can be adjusted, and the longitudinal beam 11 is placed inside the U-shaped frame 29. The second bolt 210 is slidably installed on the outer wall of the longitudinal beam 11 and passes through the U-shaped frame 29, which can fix the longitudinal beam 11 inside the U-shaped frame 29, making assembly convenient.
[0030] When the position and height of the longitudinal beam 11 need to be adjusted, rotate the hand-threaded rod 26. The hand-threaded rod 26 is threadedly connected to the top cover 21. When rotating, the hand-threaded rod 26 will move up and down on the top surface of the top cover 21, and the upper end of the hand-threaded rod 26 will rotate inside the connecting shaft 27. The hand-threaded rod 26 drives the connecting block 28 to deflect through the connecting shaft 27, and drives the U-shaped frame 29 to move up and down through the connecting block 28, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position and height of the longitudinal beam 11. The operation is convenient and labor-saving, can be completed by one person, and has greater practicality.
