Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of solar panel technology, and in particular to an auxiliary recycling device for solar panel modules. Background Technology

[0002] Foldable solar panels are increasingly used due to their ease of storage and transport when folded, and their ability to provide high power generation when unfolded. These devices typically consist of multiple solar panel units and a base with a storage rack to secure the folded solar panel assembly.

[0003] For example, patent application number CN202322087020.4 discloses a foldable solar energy device. In this device, two sets of foldable solar panel assemblies are symmetrically arranged on a base and fixed by a storage rack on the base, the storage rack including multiple railings arranged around the base.

[0004] In existing technologies, solar panel modules consist of multiple solar panels hinged together end-to-end, with each pair of hinged solar panels forming a solar panel unit. Currently, in actual storage, the process mainly relies on manual labor to fold and store each solar panel unit one by one, which results in high labor intensity. Utility Model Content

[0005] To improve and reduce the labor intensity of personnel when storing solar panels, this application provides an auxiliary recycling device for solar panel modules.

[0006] This application provides an auxiliary recycling device for solar panel modules, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An auxiliary recycling device for a solar panel assembly includes a winch with a pull belt wound around it. A first connecting element is fixed to the frame of each solar panel unit of the solar panel assembly. Multiple second connecting elements are fixed at equal intervals on the pull belt, the number of which is the same as the number of first connecting elements in the solar panel assembly. One of the first and second connecting elements is a hook, and the other is a hanging ring that engages with the hook, allowing the first connecting element on the solar panel unit to be detachably hooked to the corresponding second connecting element on the pull belt.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when storing the unfolded solar panel assembly, the second connecting element on the pull belt is connected to the first connecting element of the solar panel one by one. Then, the winch is rotated to wind up the pull belt, pulling back multiple solar panels one by one. When the solar panel closest to the base is wound into place, the second connecting element on that solar panel unit is removed. Then, the pull belt is wound up again, and the above steps are repeated to store the solar panel unit in place. By using the winch to wind up the pull belt, multiple solar panel units can be pulled back one by one, effectively reducing the labor intensity of personnel.

[0009] Optionally, it also includes a base, with the winch fixed to the upper end of the base; the bottom of the base is provided with a clearance groove for accommodating the frame beam of the storage rack enclosure.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the enclosure frame beam of the storage rack can be directly accommodated in the slot, allowing the device to be directly installed on the existing solar equipment base without modifying the infrastructure.

[0011] Optionally, a connecting frame matching the relief groove is fixed in the relief groove of the base. The connecting frame has a top plate and two side plates. The top plate and the two side plates enclose and form a receiving groove that communicates with the relief groove. The shape of the receiving groove matches the frame beam of the storage rack enclosure to enclose it. The two side plates are provided with connecting holes for bolts to pass through to fix the connecting frame to the frame beam.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the connection stability between the auxiliary recycling device and the storage rack is further enhanced, preventing the auxiliary recycling device from shaking or shifting during the storage process, and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the storage operation.

[0013] Optionally, the base is also provided with a connecting component for connecting to the solar panel unit; in the stored state, the base is fixed to the frame of the solar panel unit by the connecting component.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the auxiliary recycling device can form an integral unit with the solar panel assembly after the collection is completed, which facilitates the overall transportation and storage.

[0015] Optionally, the connecting assembly includes a connecting seat, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to two parallel connecting plates, and the two connecting plates and the connecting seat form a receiving groove that matches the frame of the solar panel unit. The connecting plates are fixed to the frame of the solar panel unit by bolts. A connecting ear is fixed to the outer side of the bottom of the base, and the connecting ear of the base is fixedly connected to the connecting seat by bolts.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the bolts fixing the connecting plate to the frame and the bolts connecting the connecting ears to the connecting seat enable quick assembly and disassembly.

[0017] Optionally, the base is fixed with a protective cover for housing the winch, and the protective cover has an outlet for the pulling belt to extend out.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solutions, the protective cover can effectively protect the winch, reduce the impact of external environmental factors, and extend the service life of the winch. At the same time, the design of the belt outlet ensures the normal winding and unwinding of the traction belt without affecting the normal use of the device.

[0019] Optionally, a handle is fixed to the top of the protective cover.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, it is convenient for operators to handle and move the entire auxiliary recycling device. Especially when it is necessary to move the device from one location to another, the handle provides a convenient point of leverage, improving the portability and flexibility of the device.

[0021] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. By setting up a winch and a pull belt, and setting detachable hook-connecting first and second connecting elements on the frame of the solar panel unit and the pull belt respectively, when storing the unfolded solar panel assembly, the pull belt can be easily connected to the solar panel unit. The winch can be used to wind up the pull belt to automatically pull back multiple solar panel units one by one, eliminating the need for manual folding and storage, effectively reducing the labor intensity of personnel.

[0023] 2. A connecting component is provided on the base, which allows the auxiliary recycling device to form a whole with the solar panel assembly when stored, making it easy to move and store the whole unit. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] This application discloses an auxiliary recycling device for solar panel modules, used to assist in the recycling of solar panel modules in foldable solar devices, effectively reducing the labor intensity of personnel during the storage process. The overall structure of the device can be adapted to the structure of existing foldable solar devices, without requiring large-scale modifications to the original infrastructure.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , 2 The auxiliary recovery device includes a winch 1 and a base 2. The winch 1 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the base 2. A pulling belt 3 is wound on the winch 1. The pulling belt 3 can be made of high-strength nylon or other braided materials to ensure sufficient load-bearing capacity and durability during the pulling process. The winch 1 can be a manual winch 1 or an electric winch 1. When a manual winch 1 is used, it has a crank at its end, and the operator turns the crank to wind up the pulling belt 3. When an electric winch 1 is used, it can be powered by an external power source or a battery to achieve automated winding, further saving manpower.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 , 4 Each solar panel unit 22 of the solar panel assembly 21 is fixed with a first connecting element 4 on its frame, and a plurality of second connecting elements 5 are fixed at equal intervals on the tension belt 3, with the number of second connecting elements 5 being the same as the number of first connecting elements 4 in the solar panel assembly 21. One of the first connecting element 4 and the second connecting element 5 is a hook, and the other is a hanging ring that cooperates with the hook.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first connecting element 4 of the outermost solar panel unit 22 of the solar panel assembly 21 is a hanging ring, and the first connecting element 4 of the other solar panel units 22 is a hook. The hanging ring and the hook are connected to the frame of the solar panel unit 22 by welding or bolting.

[0039] The second connecting element 5 at the end of the pull belt 3 is a hook, and the second connecting element 5 at other positions is a hanging ring. The hanging rings can be installed on the pull belt 3 at equal intervals by means of needle and thread sewing, etc. This setting allows the first connecting element 4 on the solar panel unit 22 and the corresponding second connecting element 5 on the pull belt 3 to achieve a detachable hook connection, which facilitates quick connection and separation before and after storage.

[0040] Reference Figure 5 , 6 The winch 1 is fixed to the upper end of the base 2 by bolts. The bottom of the base 2 has a relief groove 8, which is used to accommodate the frame beam 7 of the enclosure of the storage rack 6. In actual installation, the relief groove 8 at the bottom of the base 2 is aligned with the frame beam 7 of the enclosure of the storage rack 6 and engaged with the frame beam 7, so that the device can be directly installed on the base of the existing solar equipment without modifying the original structure of the storage rack 6, which greatly improves the versatility and practicality of the device.

[0041] Reference Figure 6 , 7 To further enhance the connection stability between the auxiliary recycling device and the storage rack 6, and to prevent the auxiliary recycling device from shaking or shifting during storage, a connecting frame 9 matching the recess 8 is fixed in the recess 8 of the base 2, with one end of the connecting frame 9 extending out of the recess 8. The connecting frame 9 has a top plate 10 and two side plates 11, which together form a receiving groove communicating with the recess 8. The shape of the receiving groove matches the frame beam 7 enclosed by the storage rack 6, and can enclose the frame beam 7. Connecting holes 12 are provided on the two side plates 11. After the base 2 is engaged with the frame beam 7 through the recess 8, bolts pass through the connecting holes 12 on the side plates 11 and are fastened to the frame beam 7, thereby fixing the connecting frame 9 to the frame beam 7, thus achieving a stable connection between the base 2 and the storage rack 6.

[0042] Reference Figure 8 , 9 The base 2 is also equipped with a connecting component for connecting to the solar panel. When in storage, the base 2 is fixed to the frame of the solar panel through the connecting component, so that the auxiliary recycling device and the solar panel assembly 21 form a whole, which is convenient for overall transportation and storage.

[0043] Reference Figure 8 , 9The connecting assembly includes a connecting base 13, with two parallel connecting plates 14 integrally extended from the bottom of the connecting base 13. The two connecting plates 14 and the connecting base 13 form a receiving groove that matches the frame of the solar panel unit 22. When installing the connecting base 13, the frame of the solar panel unit 22 is inserted into the receiving groove, and then the connecting plates 14 are fixed to the frame of the solar panel unit 22 with bolts, thus achieving a fixed connection between the connecting base 13 and the solar panel unit 22. A connecting ear 15 is fixed to the outer side of the bottom of the base 2, and a through hole 16 is provided on the connecting ear 15. A corresponding through hole 16 is also provided on the connecting base 13. The connecting ear 15 of the base 2 is fixedly connected to the connecting base 13 by bolts passing through the through holes 16. This connection method allows for quick assembly and disassembly between the base 2 and the solar panel unit 22.

[0044] In this embodiment, there are two connecting seats 13, and the base 2 is installed between the two connecting seats 13. Correspondingly, there are two sets of connecting ears 15 symmetrically arranged on the base 2. When the base 2 is installed between the two connecting seats 13, the two connecting ears 15 correspond to the positions of the two connecting seats 13 respectively.

[0045] Reference Figure 9 A protective cover 17 is fixed on the base 2, enclosing the winch 1 to reduce the impact of external environmental factors on the winch 1 and extend its service life. The protective cover 17 has an outlet 18 for the pulling belt 3 to extend out. The position of the outlet 18 corresponds to the extension direction of the pulling belt 3 on the winch 1, ensuring that the pulling belt 3 can pass smoothly during winding and unwinding without affecting the normal use of the device. The protective cover 17 also has an operating port 19 for the crank handle of the manual winch 1 or the motor of the electric winch 1 to extend out.

[0046] A handle 20 is fixed to the top of the protective cover 17. The handle 20 can be made of metal or high-strength plastic and is installed on the top of the protective cover 17 by welding or bolting, so as to facilitate the operator to carry and move the entire auxiliary recycling device.

[0047] The implementation principle of the auxiliary recycling device for a solar panel assembly 21 in this application embodiment is as follows:

[0048] When it is necessary to store the unfolded solar panel assembly 21, firstly, the base 2 is engaged with the frame beam 7 of the storage rack 6 via the bottom clearance groove 8, and the base 2 is securely fixed using bolts on the connecting frame 9. Then, the second connecting element 5 on the pull belt 3 is hooked and connected one-to-one with the first connecting element 4 on the frame of each solar panel unit 22 in the solar panel assembly 21. Next, the operator turns the crank handle of the winch 1 (manual winch 1) or starts the electric winch 1, so that the winch 1 begins to wind up the pull belt 3. As the pull belt 3 winds up, multiple solar panel units 22 are folded and pulled back towards the base one by one under the tension of the pull belt 3. When the solar panel unit 22 closest to the base is wound into place, the operator separates the hook and hanging ring on the solar panel unit 22, and then continues to wind up the pull belt 3, following the above steps to store the remaining solar panel units 22 in place.

[0049] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
