[0002] Photovoltaic power plant support structures are a crucial component of photovoltaic power generation systems. They are primarily used to support, install, and secure solar panels, ensuring stable operation under various environmental conditions and maximizing solar energy capture. With the continuous growth of global demand for renewable energy, photovoltaic power generation, as a clean and efficient energy form, has received widespread attention and application. As an important part of photovoltaic power generation systems, the stability and efficiency of photovoltaic power plants directly affect the power generation capacity and economic benefits of the entire system. In photovoltaic power plants, the support system is a key structure for supporting and securing solar panels, and its design and performance are crucial for the long-term stable operation of the photovoltaic power plant.

[0003] The existing self-lubricating rotating components of photovoltaic power station support systems have the following main shortcomings:

[0004] In existing photovoltaic power station support structures with automatic lubrication functions, rotating components rely on complex gear and chain drive systems or multiple motors working in tandem. Using multiple motors to precisely control rotation in different directions not only requires precise system debugging, increasing the initial equipment purchase cost, but also increases the power station's operation and maintenance costs and time costs due to subsequent investments in the installation, maintenance, and replacement of numerous components. Furthermore, relying on complex mechanical structures for transmission and angle adjustment can easily lead to a decrease in adjustment accuracy after long-term operation due to wear and loosening of components, making it difficult for photovoltaic panels to accurately track the angle of sunlight and affecting power generation efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this utility model provides a rotating component for a photovoltaic power station support with an automatic lubrication function, which solves the problems in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a rotating component for a photovoltaic power station support with automatic lubrication function, including a base, a column at the center of the upper end face of the base, and a rotating structure at the center of the upper end face of the column;

[0007] The rotating structure includes a rotating frame, with bearings located at the upper center of both side walls of the rotating frame, and a rotating rod located at the upper center of the interior of the rotating frame, the rotating rod being rotatably connected to the center of the two rotating frames.

[0008] The rotating frame is equipped with a protective frame at its internal center and at its front end. Each of the two protective frames has a protective pad at its internal center. A connecting support column is provided between the two protective pads. A support body is provided at the center of the upper end face of the connecting support column. A lubrication structure is provided at the upper center of one side wall of the column.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a first connecting frame is provided at the lower center of the front end face of the column, a first hydraulic telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the center of the first connecting frame, a second connecting frame is fixedly connected to one end of the first hydraulic telescopic rod, and the second connecting frame is rotatably connected to the center of the lower end face of the front protective frame.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a third mounting bracket is provided at the rear center of the outer side wall of the connecting support column, and a second hydraulic telescopic rod is rotatably connected at the center of one side wall of the third mounting bracket, and the protective frame is rotatably connected to both sides of the outer side wall of the rotating frame at the rear.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a fourth connecting frame is provided at the upper center of the outer side wall of the second hydraulic telescopic rod, a rotating frame is provided at the upper side of the outer side wall of the rotating frame, and the fourth connecting frame is sleeved on the lower rear end of the outer side wall of the rotating frame.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the lubrication structure includes a lubricating fluid storage tank, which is located at the upper center of one side wall of the column. A lubrication suction pump is provided at the center of the lower inner wall of the lubricating fluid storage tank.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: both the upper end face of the tee and the output end of the rear end face are provided with conveying pipes, and three lubrication flow grooves are arranged in a front-to-back pattern at the center of the upper end face of the connecting support column.

[0014] As a further embodiment of this invention, both protective pads are made of rubber.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. This utility model converts the linear extension and retraction motion of the first hydraulic telescopic rod into the rotational motion of the rotating frame. One end of the first hydraulic telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the first connecting frame, while the other end is fixedly connected to the second connecting frame. The second connecting frame is rotatably connected to the center of the lower end face of the front protective frame.

[0023] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0025] A rotating component of a photovoltaic power station support structure with automatic lubrication function includes:

[0026] Base 1, with a column 2 at the center of the upper surface of base 1. A rotating structure 3 is located at the center of the upper surface of column 2, including a rotating frame 304. Bearings 308 are located at the upper center of both side walls of the rotating frame 304. A rotating rod 309 is located at the upper center of the interior of the rotating frame 304, rotatably connected to the center of the two rotating frames 304. Protective frames 5 are located at the center of the interior and front end of each rotating frame 304. Protective pads 8, made of rubber, are located at the center of the interior of each protective frame 5. A connecting support column 6 is located between the two protective pads 8. A support body 7 is located at the center of the upper surface of the connecting support column 6. A first connecting frame 301 is located at the lower center of the front end of column 2. A first hydraulic telescopic rod 302 is rotatably connected to the center of a connecting frame 301. A second connecting frame 303 is fixedly connected to one end of the first hydraulic telescopic rod 302. The second connecting frame 303 is rotatably connected to the center of the lower end face of the front protective frame 5. A third mounting frame 305 is provided at the rear of the center of the outer wall of the connecting support column 6. A second hydraulic telescopic rod 306 is rotatably connected to the center of one side wall of the third mounting frame 305. The rear protective frame 5 is rotatably connected to both sides of the outer wall of the rotating frame 304. A fourth connecting frame 307 is provided at the upper center of the outer wall of the second hydraulic telescopic rod 306. A rotating frame 310 is provided at the upper outer wall of the rotating frame 304. The fourth connecting frame 307 is sleeved on the rear of the lower end of the outer wall of the rotating frame 310.

[0027] The bearings 308, located at the upper center of both sides of the rotating frame 304, support the rotating rod 309, allowing it to rotate flexibly with the assistance of the bearings 308. This, in turn, drives the rotating frame 304 to rotate around the rotating rod 309. One end of the first hydraulic telescopic rod 302 is rotatably connected to the first connecting frame 301, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second connecting frame 303. When the first hydraulic telescopic rod 302 extends or retracts, it pushes the second connecting frame 303 to move. Since the second connecting frame 303 is rotatably connected to the center of the lower end face of the front protective frame 5, this connection allows the linear motion of the first hydraulic telescopic rod 302 to be converted into the rotational motion of the rotating frame 304, thereby driving the support body 7 to rotate and adjust the angle of the photovoltaic panel to better receive sunlight.

[0028] A lubrication structure 4 is provided at the upper center of one side wall of the column 2. The lubrication structure 4 includes a lubricating fluid storage tank 401. The lubricating fluid storage tank 401 is located at the upper center of one side wall of the column 2. A lubrication suction pump 402 is provided at the center of the lower inner wall of the lubricating fluid storage tank 401. The output end of the lubricating suction pump 402 passes through the upper inner wall of the lubricating fluid storage tank 401 and leads to the upper end face of the lubricating fluid storage tank 401. A tee 403 is fixedly connected to the end of the tee 403. A delivery pipe 405 is provided at the output end of both the upper end face, one side wall and the rear end face of the tee 403. Three lubrication flow grooves 404 are arranged in a front-to-back pattern at the center of the upper end face of the support column 6.

[0029] The lubricating fluid storage tank 401 is fixed to the upper center of one side wall of the column 2 to store lubricating fluid. After the lubricating fluid suction pump 402 at the center of the lower inner wall of the lubricating fluid storage tank 401 is started, it can suck up the lubricating fluid in the tank. The output end of the lubricating fluid suction pump 402 passes through the upper inner wall of the lubricating fluid storage tank 401 to the upper end face and is fixedly connected to the tee 403. The tee 403 distributes the lubricating fluid delivered by the lubricating fluid suction pump 402. The upper end face, one side wall and the rear end output end of the tee 403 are both connected to the delivery pipe 405. The lubricating fluid is delivered through the delivery pipe 405 to the three lubricating flow channels 404 arranged in front and behind at the center of the upper end face of the connecting support column 6. The lubricating fluid in the lubricating flow channels 404 can cover the key parts of the rotating parts, such as the connection between the rotating rod 309 and the bearing 308, and the rotating connection between each hydraulic telescopic rod and the connecting frame, under the action of gravity or the movement of the rotating parts. This reduces the frictional resistance between the parts, reduces the degree of wear, improves the service life and operating efficiency of the rotating parts, and ensures the stable operation of the equipment.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The base 1 provides a stable support foundation for the entire device, ensuring that the entire structure is firmly fixed to the ground. The column 2 is vertically set at the center of the upper end face of the base 1, serving as a support carrier for the upper rotating structure 3 and other components, maintaining the vertical stability of the structure, and is an important component in maintaining the overall structural balance of the device. The bearings 308 set at the upper center of the two side walls of the rotating frame 304 support the rotating rod 309, allowing the rotating rod 309 to rotate flexibly with the assistance of the bearings 308, thereby driving the connected rotating components. The frame 304 rotates around the rotating rod 309 in a circular motion. One end of the first hydraulic telescopic rod 302 is rotatably connected to the first connecting frame 301, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second connecting frame 303. When the first hydraulic telescopic rod 302 extends or retracts, it will push the second connecting frame 303 to move. Since the second connecting frame 303 is rotatably connected to the center of the lower end face of the front protective frame 5, this connection relationship allows the linear motion of the first hydraulic telescopic rod 302 to be converted into the rotational motion of the rotating frame 304, thereby driving the support body 7 to rotate and realize the adjustment of the photovoltaic panel angle to better receive sunlight.

[0031] The protective pad 8, made of rubber, is located at the center of the inner part of the protective frame 5, serving as a buffer and protection to prevent direct collision damage between components. The connecting support column 6 between the two protective frames 5 not only connects the two protective frames 5 to ensure the integrity of the structure, but also provides support for the main body 7, ensuring that the main body 7 is stably installed on the rotating structure 3. The rear protective frame 5 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the rotating frame 304, ensuring that the protective frame 5 can rotate with the rotating frame 304, maintaining the protective function, and not affecting the normal rotation of the rotating frame 304. One end of the second hydraulic telescopic rod 306 is rotatably connected to the third mounting frame 305, and the other end is connected to the rotating frame 310 through the fourth connecting frame 307. The extension and retraction of the second hydraulic telescopic rod 306 can assist in adjusting the rotational movement of the rotating frame 304 or, under certain circumstances, play a braking and stabilizing role, helping to control the rotation angle and stability.

[0032] The lubricating fluid storage tank 401 is fixed to the upper center of one side wall of the column 2 to store lubricating fluid. After the lubricating fluid suction pump 402 at the center of the lower inner wall of the lubricating fluid storage tank 401 is started, it can suck up the lubricating fluid in the tank. The output end of the lubricating fluid suction pump 402 passes through the upper inner wall of the lubricating fluid storage tank 401 to the upper end face and is fixedly connected to the tee 403. The tee 403 distributes the lubricating fluid delivered by the lubricating fluid suction pump 402. The upper end face, one side wall and the rear end output end of the tee 403 are both connected to the delivery pipe 405. The lubricating fluid is delivered through the delivery pipe 405 to the three lubricating flow channels 404 arranged in front and behind at the center of the upper end face of the connecting support column 6. The lubricating fluid in the lubricating flow channels 404 can cover the key parts of the rotating parts, such as the connection between the rotating rod 309 and the bearing 308, and the rotating connection between each hydraulic telescopic rod and the connecting frame, under the action of gravity or the movement of the rotating parts. This reduces the frictional resistance between the parts, reduces the degree of wear, improves the service life and operating efficiency of the rotating parts, and ensures the stable operation of the equipment.

[0033] The protective frame 5 serves as a connecting support component, ensuring the integrity and stability of the entire rotating structure 3. The rubber protective pad 8 acts as a buffer and shock absorber. When the rotating structure 3 may vibrate or there is a tendency for collisions between components during its movement, the protective pad 8 can absorb energy, reduce the hard impact between components, protect the components from damage, extend the service life of the components, and reduce noise caused by component collisions, ensuring the quiet and stable operation of the device. The connecting support column 6 not only connects the two protective frames 5, but also serves as a support component for the bracket body 7, firmly fixing the bracket body 7 to the rotating structure 3. The bracket body 7 is used to install photovoltaic panels. When the rotating structure 3 drives the connecting support column 6 to rotate, the bracket body 7 rotates synchronously, thereby causing the photovoltaic panels installed on it to adjust their angle and face the direction of strongest sunlight, realizing more efficient collection and utilization of solar energy by the photovoltaic power station, thereby improving power generation efficiency.

[0034] Furthermore, the control method of this utility model is controlled by a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Since this utility model is used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.

[0035] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
