[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0026] A photovoltaic support module for easy snap-fit ​​installation includes a mounting frame 1 with fixing mechanisms on its four upper sides. The fixing mechanisms include two blocks 5 symmetrically fixed to the upper surface of the middle of the long side of the mounting frame 1, and a fixing strip 6 fixed to the outer side of the middle of the short side of the mounting frame 1. The upper surface of the fixing strip 6 is higher than the mounting frame 1. A clamping plate 7 is provided at the upper end of the fixing strip 6, and both ends of the clamping plate 7 are fixedly connected to the fixing strip 6 by bolts 8. A horizontal bar 2 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting frame 1. The horizontal bar 2 is rotatably connected to the left side of the mounting frame 1 via a pivot, and a flipping mechanism is provided on the right side. The flipping mechanism includes an arc-shaped strip 17 symmetrically fixed to both ends of the bottom right side of the mounting frame 1, and a locking screw 9 threadedly connected to the right side of the horizontal bar 2. A plurality of threaded holes 10 are evenly provided on the strip 17 to cooperate with the locking screw 9. The support strip 3 is arranged parallel to the bottom of the horizontal strip 2. Vertical brackets 4 are fixedly connected to both sides of the support strip 3. A snap-fit ​​mechanism is provided in the middle of the support strip 3 and the horizontal strip 2. The snap-fit ​​mechanism includes a dovetail groove 11 opened on the outer side of the middle of the horizontal strip 2, and a dovetail tenon 12 fixedly connected to the top of the middle of the support strip 3 and cooperating with the dovetail groove 11. A threaded hole 13 is provided in the middle of the dovetail groove 11 of the horizontal strip 2. A locking screw 14 cooperating with the threaded hole 13 is threadedly connected to the middle of the dovetail tenon 12. Positioning rods 15 are fixedly connected to the bottom of both sides of the horizontal strip 2. Positioning holes 16 matching the positioning rods 15 are provided on both sides of the top of the support strip 3.

[0027] In this embodiment, the angle adjustment of the photovoltaic support component is realized by the cooperation of the left rotating shaft of the mounting frame 1 and the right arc strip 17, which solves the problem of the support frame and telescopic frame tilting after flipping and failing to maintain vertical limit in the prior art;

[0028] Furthermore, by using the dovetail groove 11 and dovetail tenon 12 to engage with the crossbar 2 and the support bar 3, and combining the positioning rod 15 with the positioning hole 16 for quick positioning, the support component can be conveniently installed by snapping, which solves the technical problems of complex installation process and inconvenient disassembly in the prior art.

[0029] Working principle: During installation, the photovoltaic panel is first placed on the upper end of the mounting frame 1. The short side of the photovoltaic panel is pressed and fixed by the clamp 7 at the upper end of the fixing strip 6 and the bolt 8. At the same time, the stop block 5 in the middle of the long side limits the photovoltaic panel. When it is necessary to adjust the installation angle, loosen the locking screw 9 on the right side of the horizontal strip 2. At this time, the mounting frame 1 rotates around the left pivot. The arc strip 17 fixed to both ends of the bottom right side of the mounting frame 1 moves synchronously. When the mounting frame 1 drives the photovoltaic panel to the required angle, align the end of the locking screw 9 on the right side of the horizontal strip 2 with the corresponding threaded hole 10 on the arc strip 17 and tighten it. The installation angle is fixed by the threaded engagement. The support strip 3 is locked by the dovetail tenon 12 at the top and the dovetail groove 11 in the middle of the horizontal strip 2. At the same time, the positioning rods 15 at the bottom of both sides of the horizontal strip 2 are always inserted into the positioning holes 16 at the top of the support strip 3. The connection is made secure by tightening the locking screw 14 in the middle of the dovetail tenon 12 and the threaded hole 13.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
