Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar energy support technology, and in particular to an aluminum alloy track for solar energy support. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing global demand for clean energy, solar energy, as an inexhaustible and renewable energy source, has received widespread attention and importance for its development and utilization. Solar photovoltaic power generation, as one of the main methods of solar energy utilization, has experienced rapid development in recent years. Solar mounting systems, as crucial components supporting solar photovoltaic panels, directly affect the stability and power generation efficiency of solar photovoltaic systems through their performance and quality.
[0003] Aluminum alloy tracks are widely used in solar panel mounting systems due to their advantages such as light weight, corrosion resistance, high strength, and good machinability. However, existing aluminum alloy tracks for solar panel mounting systems present some problems during installation and disassembly. Traditional installation methods often require numerous bolt connections and welding operations, which are not only complex but also demand highly skilled installers, consuming significant time and manpower. Furthermore, disassembly and maintenance also require cumbersome operations, increasing maintenance costs and difficulty. Therefore, we propose an aluminum alloy track for solar panel mounting systems to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an aluminum alloy track for solar panel supports.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An aluminum alloy track for a solar panel support includes a guide rail body, with a carrier box fixed on both sides of the guide rail body. A support base is fixed at the lower end of the carrier box. A lifting mechanism is installed inside the carrier box. A pushing mechanism is rotatably connected to both sides of the lifting mechanism. A snap-fit structure is connected to one end of the pushing mechanism. A U-shaped support is snapped onto the carrier box. The snap-fit structure and the U-shaped support are snapped together. The support body is fixed to the upper end of the U-shaped support.
[0007] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes a stud rotatably connected to the top of the carrier box, the lower end of the stud penetrating the side wall of the carrier box and extending to the lower end of the stud, a rotating block fixed to the lower end of the stud, and a moving block threaded onto the stud.
[0008] Preferably, the pushing mechanism includes a fixing member fixed to the upper end of the moving block, with rotating members rotatably connected to both sides of the fixing member, and two moving plates rotatably connected to one end of each rotating member. An mounting plate is fixed to the upper end of each moving plate, and a T-shaped slider is fixed to the upper end of the mounting plate.
[0009] Preferably, the snap-fit structure includes a limiting rod fixed to one side of the moving plate, a T-shaped groove is provided at the top of the carrier box, the T-shaped slider is snapped into the T-shaped groove, and two limiting holes are provided on both sides of the U-shaped support member, with two limiting rods on the same side passing through the carrier box and the two limiting holes on the same side.
[0010] Preferably, the support base has two mounting holes.
[0011] When installation is required in this utility model:
[0012] 1. Basic installation: First, place the carrier box and guide rail body in a suitable position and use the support base to support them stably. Through the mounting holes on the support base, use bolts and other connectors to fully fix the guide rail body to the ground or other support structure to ensure the stability of the entire track system.
[0013] 2. Bracket fastening: After the guide rail body is installed, fasten the U-shaped support to the carrier box to prepare for the subsequent bracket installation;
[0014] 3. Lifting mechanism operation: Rotate the rotating block to drive the stud to rotate inside the bearing box. Since the moving block is threadedly connected to the stud, the rotation of the stud will cause the moving block to move up and down on the stud.
[0015] 4. Pushing mechanism movement: As the moving block moves, the fixing part fixed to the upper end of the moving block will also move. The rotating parts connected to both sides of the fixing part will rotate and push the moving plate to move. The mounting plate and T-shaped slider at the upper end of the moving plate will also move together. The T-shaped slider slides in the T-shaped groove, which plays a guiding and stabilizing role.
[0016] 5. Snap-fit limiting: During the movement of the movable plate, the limiting rod fixed on one side will move accordingly. When it moves to the appropriate position, the two limiting rods on the same side will pass through the limiting holes on both sides of the bearing box and the U-shaped support, realizing the snap-fit limiting of the U-shaped support by the snap-fit structure, thereby completing the installation of the bracket.
[0017] This utility model has the following advantages:
[0018] 1. The lifting mechanism drives the pushing mechanism to achieve the snap-fit limit of the U-shaped support component, avoiding a large number of bolt connections and welding operations in the traditional installation method, greatly simplifying the installation process, saving installation time and labor costs, and improving installation efficiency.
[0019] 2. The design of the support base and mounting holes ensures that the guide rail body is fully and stably supported, improving the stability of the entire solar bracket system. At the same time, the snap-fit structure limits the snap-fit of the U-shaped support, further enhancing the stability of the bracket and ensuring the safe operation of the solar photovoltaic panels.
[0020] 3. The installation and disassembly process of this aluminum alloy track is simple and will not damage the track and bracket, so it can be reused multiple times, reducing the cost of use;
[0021] 4. When it is necessary to disassemble and maintain the solar panel bracket, simply reverse the lifting mechanism to allow the limit rod to exit from the limit hole, and the U-shaped support and bracket body can be easily disassembled, reducing maintenance costs and difficulty.
[0022] In summary, this utility model greatly simplifies the installation process, saves installation time and labor costs, and improves installation efficiency. At the same time, the snap-fit structure further enhances the stability of the bracket by limiting the snap-fit of the U-shaped support, ensuring the safe operation of the solar photovoltaic panel. In addition, the U-shaped support and the bracket body can be easily disassembled, reducing maintenance costs and difficulty. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0030] Reference Figure 1-5 An aluminum alloy track for a solar panel bracket includes a guide rail body 14, with a carrier box 9 fixed on both sides of the guide rail body 14. The carrier box 9 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy and has undergone anodizing treatment, which not only enhances its corrosion resistance but also improves its surface hardness, enabling it to better adapt to various harsh outdoor environments.
[0031] A support base 13 is fixed to the lower end of the carrier box 9. A lifting mechanism is installed inside the carrier box 9. Pushing mechanisms are rotatably connected to both sides of the lifting mechanism. A snap-fit structure is connected to one end of the push mechanism. A U-shaped support 12 is snapped onto the carrier box 9. The snap-fit structure and the U-shaped support 12 are snapped together. A bracket body 16 is fixed to the upper end of the U-shaped support 12. When snapping the U-shaped support 12, it is necessary to ensure that its snap-fit position with the carrier box 9 is accurate and tight.
[0032] The lifting mechanism includes a stud 10 rotatably connected to the top of the carrier box 9. The lower end of the stud 10 penetrates the side wall of the carrier box 9 and extends to the lower end of the stud 10. A rotating block 11 is fixed to the lower end of the stud 10. A movable block 8 is threaded onto the stud 10. Since the movable block 8 is threaded onto the stud 10, the rotation of the stud 10 will cause the movable block 8 to move up and down on the stud 10.
[0033] The pushing mechanism includes a fixing part 3 fixed to the upper end of the moving block 8. Rotating parts 5 are rotatably connected to both sides of the fixing part 3. Two moving plates 6 are rotatably connected to one end of the rotating part 5. A mounting plate 1 is fixed to the upper end of the moving plate 6. A T-shaped slider 7 is fixed to the upper end of the mounting plate 1. High-precision rotating shafts are used at the rotational connection points of the rotating part 5, the fixing part 3, and the moving plate 6, making the rotation more flexible, reducing the friction during the rotation process, and improving the operating efficiency of the mechanism. The mounting plate 1 and the T-shaped slider 7 at the upper end of the moving plate 6 will also move together. The T-shaped slider 7 slides in the T-shaped groove 15, which plays a guiding and stabilizing role.
[0034] The snap-fit structure includes a limiting rod 2 fixed to one side of the moving plate 6, a T-shaped groove 15 at the top of the bearing box 9, a T-shaped slider 7 snapped into the T-shaped groove 15, and two limiting holes 4 on both sides of the U-shaped support 12. The two limiting rods 2 on the same side pass through the bearing box 9 and the two limiting holes 4 on the same side. The inner wall of the T-shaped groove 15 is smoothed to better cooperate with the T-shaped slider 7, ensuring that the T-shaped slider 7 slides smoothly and steadily, while also reducing wear and extending service life. During the movement of the moving plate 6, the limiting rod 2 fixed to one side of it will move accordingly. When it moves to the appropriate position, the two limiting rods 2 on the same side will pass through the bearing box 9 and the limiting holes 4 on both sides of the U-shaped support 12.
[0035] The support base 13 is provided with two mounting holes 17 for securely and stably supporting and fixing the support base 13.
[0036] When installation is required in this utility model:
[0037] 1. Basic installation: First, place the carrier box 9 and the guide rail body 14 in a suitable position and use the support base 13 to provide stable support. Through the mounting holes 17 on the support base 13, use bolts and other connectors to fully fix the guide rail body 14 to the ground or other support structure to ensure the stability of the entire track system.
[0038] 2. Bracket fastening: After the guide rail body 14 is installed, fasten the U-shaped support 12 onto the carrier box 9 to prepare for the subsequent bracket installation.
[0039] 3. Lifting mechanism operation: Rotate the rotating block 11 to drive the stud 10 to rotate inside the bearing box 9. Since the moving block 8 is threadedly connected to the stud 10, the rotation of the stud 10 will cause the moving block 8 to move up and down on the stud 10.
[0040] 4. Pushing mechanism movement: As the moving block 8 moves, the fixing part 3 fixed on the upper end of the moving block 8 will also move. The rotating parts 5 connected to both sides of the fixing part 3 will rotate and push the moving plate 6 to move. The mounting plate 1 and T-shaped slider 7 on the upper end of the moving plate 6 will also move together. The T-shaped slider 7 slides in the T-shaped groove 15, which plays a guiding and stabilizing role.
[0041] 5. Snap-fit limiting: During the movement of the movable plate 6, the limiting rod 2 fixed on one side will move accordingly. When it moves to the appropriate position, the two limiting rods 2 on the same side will pass through the limiting holes 4 on both sides of the bearing box 9 and the U-shaped support 12, so as to realize the snap-fit limiting of the U-shaped support 12 by the snap-fit structure, thereby completing the installation of the bracket.
[0042] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
