Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic brackets, and more specifically, it relates to a photovoltaic bracket with a leveling structure. Background Technology

[0002] In photovoltaic power generation systems, the photovoltaic support frame is the core component that supports the photovoltaic panels. Its installation flatness directly affects the stress balance and light reception efficiency of the photovoltaic panels, and is crucial to the power generation performance and service life of the system.

[0003] In existing technologies, traditional photovoltaic brackets only use a single height adjustment method and lack the ability to adjust the angle in all directions. When the installation surface such as the ground or roof is tilted, uneven or has a slight slope, it is difficult to achieve accurate horizontal calibration of the photovoltaic panels. This can easily lead to deformation of the photovoltaic panels due to uneven stress or reduced power generation efficiency due to deviation in the angle of illumination.

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application proposes a photovoltaic bracket with a leveling structure. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a photovoltaic support with a leveling structure.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a photovoltaic support with a leveling structure, comprising a frame for supporting photovoltaic panels, wherein leveling feet are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the frame;

[0007] The leveling support includes a universal adjustment component and a height adjustment component arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The universal adjustment component can realize multi-angle rotation adjustment between the frame and the height adjustment component. The height adjustment component can extend and retract in the vertical direction to adjust the support height of the corresponding angle of the frame. The two work together to realize the attitude calibration of the frame in three-dimensional space and ensure that the frame remains horizontal. The bottom of the height adjustment component is fixedly connected to a mounting plate that fixes the photovoltaic bracket to the mounting surface.

[0008] Preferably, the universal adjustment assembly includes a ball joint seat and a ball joint piece installed inside therein, the top end of the ball joint piece being fixed to the bottom end of the frame via a connecting rod, and the bottom end of the ball joint seat being connected to the lifting part of the height adjustment assembly.

[0009] Preferably, the outer side wall of the ball head is integrally formed with connecting blocks, and each connecting block has a threaded hole that passes through the connecting block and communicates with the inside of the ball head. The inner side wall of each threaded hole is threaded with a locking screw, and the head of the locking screw abuts against the ball head to fix the ball head to the ball head.

[0010] Preferably, the height adjustment assembly includes vertical guide rails fixed to both sides of the top of the mounting plate for sliding of the sliders, a lifting plate fixedly connected between the sliders, and a screw A fixedly connected to the top of the lifting plate, the top of which is fixed to the bottom of the ball head seat. A horizontal plate is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical guide rails, and a through hole A is provided on the horizontal plate to allow the screw A to pass through. Nuts A are threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw A on both the top and bottom sides of the horizontal plate.

[0011] Preferably, both sides of the frame can be detachably connected to reinforcing plates.

[0012] Preferably, the frame is provided with connecting slots on both sides for inserting reinforcing plates.

[0013] Preferably, screws B are fixedly connected to both sides of the back of the reinforcing plate, and through holes B are provided on the connecting slot for the screws B to pass through. Nuts B are threaded onto the outer side wall of the screws B.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This utility model uses a universal adjustment component to rotate and adjust at multiple angles, combined with a height adjustment component to adjust the height, so that the frame can achieve posture calibration in three-dimensional space, ultimately ensuring that the frame remains horizontal. This avoids deformation of the photovoltaic panel due to uneven stress, ensures accurate light reception angle, improves power generation efficiency, and solves the problems in the background technology.

[0016] 2. Both sides of the frame in this utility model can be detachably connected with reinforcing plates, which can be installed as needed. When the installation environment has complex loads such as strong winds and vibrations, or when the frame needs to support large-sized photovoltaic panels, installing reinforcing plates can effectively enhance the lateral structural strength and overall stability of the frame and prevent damage to the frame. Conversely, if the installation environment has a small load and the photovoltaic panels are relatively light, it is not necessary to install them. Attached Figure Description

[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a photovoltaic support with a leveling structure, including a frame 1 that supports the photovoltaic panel, and leveling feet 2 installed at the four corners of the bottom of the frame 1.

[0027] The leveling support 2 includes a universal adjustment component 201 and a height adjustment component 202 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The universal adjustment component 201 can realize multi-angle rotation adjustment between the frame 1 and the height adjustment component 202. The height adjustment component 202 can extend and retract in the vertical direction to adjust the support height of the corresponding angle of the frame 1. The two work together to realize the attitude calibration of the frame 1 in three-dimensional space, ensuring that the frame 1 remains horizontal. The bottom of the height adjustment component 202 is fixedly connected to a mounting plate 3 for fixing the photovoltaic bracket to the mounting surface.

[0028] The entire bracket is securely fixed to the mounting surface (such as the ground or roof) by the mounting plate 3. When the mounting surface is tilted, uneven, or has a slight slope, precise leveling is achieved by using the leveling feet 2 at the four corners of the bottom of the bracket 1. The height adjustment component 202 extends and retracts in the vertical direction to adjust the support height of the corresponding corner of the bracket 1 individually to adapt to the height difference of the mounting surface. The universal adjustment component 201 adjusts the bracket by rotating at multiple angles, which, together with the height adjustment component 202, allows the bracket 1 to achieve posture calibration in three-dimensional space. Ultimately, this ensures that the bracket 1 remains horizontal, thereby preventing the photovoltaic panel from deforming due to uneven stress and ensuring accurate light reception angle, thus improving power generation efficiency.

[0029] Furthermore, both sides of the frame 1 can be detachably connected with reinforcing plates 4, which can be installed as needed. When the installation environment has complex loads such as strong winds and vibrations, or when the frame 1 needs to support large-sized photovoltaic panels, installing reinforcing plates 4 can effectively enhance the lateral structural strength and overall stability of the frame 1, and prevent damage to the frame 1. Conversely, if the installation environment has a small load and the photovoltaic panels are relatively light, it is not necessary to install them. The following is the specific structure of the detachable system: both sides of the frame 1 are equipped with connecting slots 5 for inserting reinforcing plates 4, and both sides of the back of the reinforcing plates 4 are fixed with connecting screws B6. The connecting slots 5 are provided with through holes B501 for the screws B6 to pass through, and nuts B7 are threaded onto the outer side walls of the screws B6.

[0030] When installing the reinforcing plate 4, first align the screws B6 on both sides of the back of the reinforcing plate 4 with the through holes B501 on the side connecting slot 5 of the frame 1, insert the reinforcing plate 4 into the connecting slot 5, so that the screws B6 pass through the through holes B501 and extend to the outside of the connecting slot 5, then screw the nuts B7 into the outer wall of each screw B6, tighten the nuts B7 until the reinforcing plate 4 and the connecting slot 5 are tightly fitted, and the installation is completed; when disassembling, first loosen the nuts B7 on each screw B6 and remove them, then pull the reinforcing plate 4 out of the connecting slot 5, so that the screws B6 are disengaged from the through holes B501, and the disassembly is completed.

[0031] This utility model also provides the specific structures of the universal adjustment component 201 and the height adjustment component 202: The universal adjustment component 201 includes a ball joint seat 2011 and a ball joint member 2012 installed inside it. The top end of the ball joint member 2012 is fixed to the bottom end of the frame 1 through a connecting rod 2013. The bottom end of the ball joint seat 2011 is connected to the lifting part of the height adjustment component 202. The universal adjustment component 201 includes a ball joint seat 2011 and a ball joint member 2012 installed inside it. The top end of the ball joint member 2012 is fixed to the bottom end of the frame 1 through a connecting rod 2013. The bottom end of the ball joint seat 2011 is connected to the lifting part of the height adjustment component 202. Connecting blocks 2014 are integrally formed on all four sides of the outer wall of the ball joint seat 2011, and each connecting block 2014 has a through-hole that connects to the inside of the ball joint seat 2011. The threaded hole 2015 has a locking screw 2016 threaded on its inner side wall. The head of the locking screw 2016 abuts against the ball head 2012 to fix the ball head 2012 and the ball head seat 2011. The height adjustment component 202 includes a vertical guide rail 2021 fixed on both sides of the top of the mounting plate 3 for sliding the slider 2022. A lifting plate 2026 is fixedly connected between the sliders 2022. The top of the lifting plate 2026 is fixedly connected to a screw A2023 whose top end is fixed to the bottom end of the ball head seat 2011. A horizontal plate 2024 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical guide rail 2021. The horizontal plate 2024 has a through hole A20241 that passes through its upper and lower sides for the screw A2023 to pass through. Nuts A2025 are threaded on both sides of the horizontal plate 2024 on the outer side wall of the screw A2023.

[0032] When adjusting the height, loosen the nuts A2025 on the upper and lower sides of the horizontal plate 2024 so that the two nuts A2025 no longer press against the horizontal plate 2024 from the upper and lower sides, thus releasing the fixation of the height of the screw A2023. Since the top of the screw A2023 is fixed to the ball head seat 2011, the fixation of the height of the leveling support 2 is also released. Then, push the screw A2023 to drive the lifting plate 2026 and the slider 2022 to move along the vertical guide rail 2021 to maintain the vertical linear movement of the screw A2023 relative to the mounting plate 3, thereby adjusting the support height of the corresponding corner of the frame 1 (the height of the leveling support 2). After the height is appropriate, tighten the two nuts A2025 so that the two nuts A2025 clamp the horizontal plate 2024 from the upper and lower sides, thus fixing the height of the screw A2023 and the leveling support 2.

[0033] When adjusting the angle, loosen the locking screw 2016 in the threaded hole 2015 on the connecting block 2014 on the outer wall of the ball head seat 2011 to release the fixation of the ball head seat 2011 and the ball head component 2012. Since the ball head component 2012 is fixed to the frame 1 through the connecting rod 2013 and the ball head seat 2011 is fixed to the top of the screw A2023, the ball head component 2012 can rotate at multiple angles within the ball head seat 2011. After adjusting to the horizontal position, tighten the locking screw 2016 so that its head abuts against the ball head component 2012 to fix the angle.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any way. Those skilled in the art can readily implement this utility model based on the accompanying drawings and the above description. However, any modifications, alterations, or equivalent variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the utility model's technical solution, utilizing the disclosed technical content, are considered equivalent embodiments of this utility model. Furthermore, any equivalent changes, alterations, or variations made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model's technical solution.
