Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic power generation support accessories, specifically relating to a support system for photovoltaic power generation modules. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic power generation is currently a relatively clean energy generation method. It relies on the irradiation of sunlight to convert solar energy into electrical energy. However, the angle of sunlight varies in each season. For example, the angle of sunlight in summer and winter will inevitably be different. Therefore, in order to achieve more efficient power generation in each season, the existing photovoltaic support structure needs to be adjusted. Once the existing photovoltaic panel components are fixed, it is difficult to adjust the angle.

[0003] Although there are already designs that can change the angle between photovoltaic modules and the ground, they all rely on external power sources, which are costly and not conducive to the promotion and use in various regions.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a support system that is easy to promote and use and can adjust the light-receiving angle of photovoltaic modules is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a support system for photovoltaic power generation modules, which makes it possible to adjust the light-receiving angle of photovoltaic modules to adapt to changes in sunlight in different seasons. It does not require the installation of power components, so there is no need to worry about damage to power components. It is maintenance-free and can also reduce the cost of use.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a support system for a photovoltaic power generation module, comprising: a base, wherein the base has an upwardly protruding support platform in the middle, and an operating space is formed below the support platform to facilitate the entry of workers' hands, and the support platform is provided with a notch connecting the operating space;

[0007] A supporting plate has a spherical concave surface on its bottom side. The supporting plate is located around the notch and is detachably connected to the support platform. An adjustment hole is provided on the top of the supporting plate.

[0008] The bowl base is fixed above the supporting plate by multiple diagonal braces, the lower ends of the multiple diagonal braces are fixedly connected to the support platform, and the bottom of the bowl base has a through hole;

[0009] The ball head of the ball head is movably located within the cup seat, and the shaft of the ball head extends through the through hole and adjustment hole to the inner side of the support plate;

[0010] A fixing component is connected to the bottom end of the shaft and abuts against the spherical concave surface to limit the change angle of the ball head shaft;

[0011] A photovoltaic panel connecting frame is fixed to the ball head of a ball joint and its position and angle change with the ball joint.

[0012] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows: The base is the foundation for the installation and bearing of all components. When in use, it is fixed on the base. The adjustment holes on the support plate provide space for the angle change of the ball head rod. The entire photovoltaic panel connecting frame is fixed to the ball head of the ball head rod and can change with the angle change of the ball head rod. The fixing component can fix the position of the ball head rod, ensuring stable use after later adjustment. The bowl seat is supported by multiple diagonal braces, which makes the structure stable and easy to use. This device allows the staff to adjust the light-receiving angle of the photovoltaic panel module according to each season, thereby improving the annual power generation efficiency to a certain extent. This device has no electrical equipment interference, is not easily damaged, and requires no maintenance.

[0013] Preferably, the device also includes multiple stabilizing rods, the top ends of which are hinged to the periphery of the photovoltaic panel connecting frame, and the bottom ends of which are adjustablely connected to the diagonal brace.

[0014] The resulting technical effect is that, in order to adapt to various environments and improve the overall structural load-bearing capacity and wind resistance, a stabilizing link is added. The stabilizing link can increase the number of fixed points of the photovoltaic panel connection frame and improve its structural stability.

[0015] Preferably, the lower end of the stabilizing link is fixedly provided with a ball joint head, and the diagonal brace is slidably connected with a ball joint support that matches the ball joint head, and the ball joint head and the ball joint support form a movable joint.

[0016] The resulting technical effect is that the movable joint at the lower end of the stabilizing link can adapt to different support angles. When the angle of the main body surface of the photovoltaic panel connection frame changes, the corresponding stabilizing link also changes position. The movable joint adapts to the positional changes of the stabilizing link. It can be understood that multiple stabilizing links provide auxiliary support for the photovoltaic panel connection frame.

[0017] Preferably, a sleeve is fixed to the bottom side of the ball joint support. The sleeve is located on the outer periphery of the diagonal brace. A tightening bolt is threaded onto the side wall of the sleeve. The tightening bolt is used to position the sleeve and the ball joint support on the diagonal brace.

[0018] The resulting technical effect is that the ball joint support can change position. After the staff adjusts the angle of the photovoltaic panel connection frame, the sleeve can be tightened with the loosening bolts. It can be understood that only when the loosening bolts are loosened can the sleeve carrying the ball joint support change position on the diagonal brace, and the angle of the photovoltaic panel connection frame above can be adjusted.

[0019] Preferably, the diameter of the adjustment hole and the through hole are both 3cm to 5cm larger than the outer diameter of the rod.

[0020] The resulting technical effect is that the larger diameter of the adjustment hole and the perforation provides adjustment space for changes in the position of the ball head.

[0021] Preferably, the fixing component includes an abutment plate, a washer, and a nut. The abutment plate is an arc-shaped plate adapted to a spherical concave surface. The abutment plate has a connecting hole for the rod part of the ball head to pass through. The outer wall of the rod part is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the connecting hole. The bottom edge of the rod part is provided with a connecting thread. The nut, together with the washer, tightens the abutment plate.

[0022] The resulting technical effect is that the core of the fixing component relies on the surface fit between the abutment plate and the support plate to lock the ball head position. The tightening of the abutment plate and the support plate is achieved by nuts and washers. The washers ensure the abutment pressure on the abutment plate when the nuts are tightened. It should be noted that the connecting hole on the abutment plate has an inverted conical structure to facilitate the matching of different angles of the ball head.

[0023] Preferably, the photovoltaic panel connection frame includes a support frame, multiple connecting rods, and a truss. The bottom ends of the multiple connecting rods are fixedly connected to the ball heads of the ball joints, the top ends of the multiple connecting rods are fixedly connected to the support frame, and the truss is fixedly connected to the upper side of the support frame and provides a supporting foundation for the photovoltaic panel assembly.

[0024] The resulting technical effect is that the photovoltaic panel connection frame connects the photovoltaic panel modules through a truss, and multiple connecting rods connect the ball heads of the ball joints. The support frame serves as the connection foundation of the truss, which makes the entire photovoltaic panel connection frame have strong structural load-bearing capacity under limited connection nodes.

[0025] Preferably, the support frame is a circular frame, and multiple stabilizing rods are hinged to the periphery of the support frame.

[0026] The resulting technical effect is that the stabilizing struts are used to support the fixed support frame, while the support frame increases the connection area of ​​the truss.

[0027] Preferably, the substrate is a Z-shaped plate structure.

[0028] The resulting technical effect is that the substrate is easy to connect and fix to the foundation, and also provides operating space for subsequent staff to adjust the angle of the photovoltaic panel connection frame. Attached Figure Description

[0037] 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.

[0038] See appendix to this utility model Figures 1 to 7 According to an embodiment of the present utility model, a support system for a photovoltaic power generation module includes: a base 1, a support platform 11 with an upward protrusion in the middle of the base 1, the base 1 having a Z-shaped structure, an operating space for easy access by workers' hands is formed below the support platform 11, and the support platform 11 has a notch 12 connecting the operating space.

[0039] Support plate 2 has a spherical concave surface on its bottom side. Support plate 2 is located on the periphery of notch 12 and is connected to the support platform 11 by bolts. The top of support plate 2 is provided with adjustment hole 21.

[0040] The bowl base 3 is fixed above the supporting plate 2 by at least three diagonal braces 10. The lower ends of the multiple diagonal braces 10 are fixedly welded to the support platform 11. The bottom of the bowl base 3 is provided with a through hole 31.

[0041] The ball head 4 has a ball head 41 that is movable within the cup seat 3, and the shaft 42 of the ball head 4 extends through the through hole 31 and the adjustment hole 21 to the inner side of the support plate 2.

[0042] Fixed component 5 is connected to the bottom end of the rod 42 and abuts against the spherical concave surface to limit the change angle of the ball head rod 4. The operator can adjust the rotation position of the ball head rod in the bowl seat in different seasons, thereby adjusting the angle of the photovoltaic panel connecting frame 6 on it and changing the light receiving conditions of the photovoltaic panel module.

[0043] The photovoltaic panel connecting frame 6 is fixed to the ball head 41 of the ball head rod 4 and its position and angle change with the ball head rod.

[0044] To improve the stability and environmental adaptability of the support system, multiple stabilizing rods 7 are also included. The number of stabilizing rods 7 should preferably correspond to the number of diagonal braces 10. The top ends of the multiple stabilizing rods 7 are hinged to the periphery of the photovoltaic panel connecting frame 6, and the bottom ends of the multiple stabilizing rods 7 are adjustablely connected to the diagonal braces 10. When adjusting the angle of the photovoltaic panel connecting frame, the stabilizing rods can move accordingly.

[0045] In some other specific embodiments, a ball joint head 81 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the stabilizing rod 7, and a ball joint support 82 that matches the ball joint head 81 is slidably connected on the diagonal brace 10. The ball joint head 81 and the ball joint support 82 form a movable joint 8, which can adapt to the changing angle of the photovoltaic panel connection frame and will not interfere with or restrict its changes.

[0046] In some other embodiments, a sleeve 821 is fixed to the bottom side of the ball joint support 82. The sleeve 821 is located on the outer periphery of the diagonal brace 10. A tightening bolt is threaded onto the side wall of the sleeve 821. The tightening bolt is used to position the sleeve 821 and the ball joint support 82 on the diagonal brace 10.

[0047] When adjusting the ball joint angle, the loosening bolt needs to be loosened, and then tightened again after the worker has finished adjusting.

[0048] Specifically, the diameters of the adjustment hole 21 and the through hole 31 are both 3cm to 5cm larger than the outer diameter of the rod 42, ensuring that the ball head rod has a certain range of angle variation.

[0049] Using a bowl and ball head club together has the advantage of allowing for angle adjustment in multiple directions, avoiding the limitations of single-direction adjustment.

[0050] In some other specific embodiments, the fixing component 5 includes an abutment plate 51, a washer 52, and a nut 53. The abutment plate 51 is an arc-shaped plate adapted to the concave surface of a spherical shape. The abutment plate 51 has a connecting hole for the rod to pass through. The outer wall of the rod 42 is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the connecting hole. The bottom edge of the rod 42 is provided with a connecting thread. The nut 53, together with the washer 52, tightens the abutment plate 51. It can be understood that the abutment plate can cooperate with the supporting plate to complete the position limitation when the ball head rod is at any position of the adjustment hole.

[0051] In some other embodiments, the photovoltaic panel connection frame 6 includes a support frame 61, multiple connecting rods 62 and a truss 63. The bottom ends of the multiple connecting rods 62 are fixedly connected to the ball head of the ball head rod 4, and the top ends of the multiple connecting rods 62 are fixedly connected to the support frame 61. The truss 63 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the support frame 61 and provides a supporting foundation for the photovoltaic panel assembly 9.

[0052] The support frame 61 is a circular frame, which has strong structural stability and can also increase the stress area. Multiple stabilizing rods 7 are hinged to the periphery of the support frame 61.

[0053] All components in this design are made of metal.

[0054] In practical use:

[0055] Depending on the season, workers can first loosen the tension bolts to release the restriction of the movable joint on the diagonal brace, then loosen the nuts to allow the abutment plate and the support plate to move in a gap-like state. As needed, workers can adjust the angle of the ball joint rod, and after determining the position, tighten the nuts. Then, tighten the remaining tension bolts to complete the adjustment process.

[0056] The apparatus and methods disclosed in the embodiments are described simply because they correspond to the methods disclosed in the embodiments. For relevant details, please refer to the method section.
