Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of solar photovoltaic panel installation and construction technology, and relates to a transportation device for photovoltaic materials in mountainous areas. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic power generation is a clean and environmentally friendly renewable energy source that has been increasingly widely used in recent years. Because photovoltaic power plants require a high degree of utilization of solar energy resources and occupy a large amount of space, they are generally built in complex terrains such as mountainous areas.

[0003] Due to the complex and undulating terrain within the photovoltaic plant area, various installation equipment and materials cannot be transported to areas with steep slopes. Traditional manual handling is inefficient, labor-intensive, and prone to causing damage to photovoltaic panels during the handling process.

[0004] Existing transportation methods also include rail transport, but this requires erecting steel piles on and at the foot of the mountain, and then fixing the transport rails to fixed points. Installation and operation require a large number of fixing devices and repeated disassembly, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. At the same time, the transport speed and stability of materials are poor during the transportation process, which may cause overturning or damage. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to disclose a transportation device suitable for mountainous photovoltaic materials. This utility model addresses the problems of complex operation, poor transportation stability, and easy damage to photovoltaic panels associated with traditional mountainous photovoltaic material transportation devices by providing a more coordinated, convenient, safer, and more stable transportation device for mountainous photovoltaic materials.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. These specific embodiments are further explanations of the principle of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Any technology that is the same as or similar to the present invention does not exceed the protection scope of the present invention.

[0020] Refer to the attached diagram.

[0021] This embodiment applies to a mountain photovoltaic material transportation device, including: a support structure, a transmission structure, and a control system;

[0022] The support structure includes a belt conveyor bracket and an adjustable base frame 1, which is connected to the belt conveyor bracket 8 via the adjustable base frame 1; the conveyor belt 2 moves around the drive wheel 3 installed on the belt conveyor bracket 8 to achieve cargo transportation.

[0023] Based on the slope of the transportation device installed in the mountainous area, a nearly horizontally positioned platform 5 is evenly set on the conveyor belt 2 to place the conveyed materials and prevent them from slipping. A stop bar is also set on the lower edge of the platform 5 to limit and prevent the goods from sliding downwards.

[0024] On both sides of the running path of the conveyor belt 2, there are also guardrails 4 to prevent the transported materials from slipping off the side of the conveyor belt 2; the guardrails 4 are vertically fixed on each belt conveyor support 8.

[0025] The control system includes: an infrared sensor 6 installed at the head and / or tail of the conveyor belt, and a control box 7 mounted on a support frame. The control box 7 receives signals from the infrared sensor 6 and is connected to the conveyor belt drive device. The control box 7 has "Start" and "Stop" buttons on its operating interface.

[0026] During the construction of photovoltaic material transportation, the material transportation device is first installed according to the site terrain. The adjustable base frame 1 is connected to the belt conveyor support 8. By adjusting the adjustable base frame 1, the tops of the transmission wheels 3 supported by each belt conveyor support 8 of the material transportation device are made to be close to the same inclined plane so as to achieve the smooth operation of the conveyor belt 2.

[0027] Infrared sensors 6 are installed to control the upward or downward movement of materials as needed. For upward transport, infrared sensors 6 are installed on the side of conveyor belt 2 near the highest point to automatically stop the conveyor belt 2 when the transported material reaches the top. After the transported material is removed, the conveyor can restart by activating the control box 7. For downward transport, infrared sensors 6 are installed on the side of conveyor belt 2 near the lowest point to control the start and stop of downward transport.

[0028] After the transport device is installed, the operator, with the help of the crane attached to the vehicle, places the photovoltaic material at the end of the conveyor belt 2 and places it stably on the loading platform 5. Then, the operator presses the "start" button on the control box 7 to start the material transport device. When the infrared sensor 6 detects that the photovoltaic material has been transported to the end of the conveyor belt, it issues a command. After receiving the command from the infrared sensor 6, the control box 7 controls the transmission mechanism to stop the transmission wheel 3 and move the conveyor belt 2. After unloading is completed, the operator presses the "start" button on the control box 7 to restart the transport. After the material transport within the range of the material transport device is completed, the material transport device is moved to the next working surface for the next round of material transport.
