Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic mounting systems. More specifically, this utility model relates to a photovoltaic panel module mounting system that is easy to maintain. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic panels are a crucial component of photovoltaic (PV) power generation. Current installation techniques involve first mounting brackets on the ground, then securing the panels to the brackets with bolts. While desert regions offer high solar intensity and are ideal for PV installation, the strong winds and sandstorms can blow sand into the gaps between the panels and the brackets. When the wind blows onto the panels with their large windward surfaces, they vibrate, causing the sand trapped in these gaps to be squeezed and crushed. Over time, this can damage the panels, reducing their lifespan. Regular maintenance requires manual removal of the panels to clean the sand, a cumbersome and inefficient process. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the inefficiency of manually removing photovoltaic panels to clear sand stuck between the panels and the support frame, this invention provides a photovoltaic panel assembly support frame that is easy to maintain.

[0004] Technical solution

[0005] A photovoltaic panel module support that is easy to maintain includes a support component and a first support plate; several inclined first support plates are fixedly connected to the support component; it also includes second support plates, threaded posts, threaded sleeves, and bolts; each first support plate has a second support plate slidably connected to it; the second support plate is a rectangular disc with an opening facing downwards, and slides outside the first support plate; each first support plate has a threaded post rotatably connected to both ends; each second support plate has a threaded sleeve fixed to both ends, and the threaded sleeve is screwed into the corresponding threaded post; each first support plate has several bolts passing through it, and the bolts pass through the corresponding first and second support plates; the photovoltaic panel is fixed by the bolts.

[0006] As a further preferred embodiment, a cover is also included; a cover is fixed to both ends of each support plate 2, and the cover is located outside the corresponding threaded post.

[0007] As a further preferred option, it also includes sealing rings; several sealing rings are fixedly attached to each support plate 2, and the sealing rings are located on the outside of the corresponding bolts.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment, it also includes auxiliary components, which include sliding blocks, connecting blocks, and support plates. Several sliding blocks are fixedly connected to the support component. Each sliding block has a damped sliding connection to a connecting block on its inner side. All connecting blocks are fixedly connected to support plates, which are in contact with the sliding blocks.

[0009] As a further preferred option, a handle is also included; a handle is fixed to each connecting block.

[0010] As a further preferred option, the surface of the support component is provided with an anti-corrosion layer.

[0011] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0012] First, the gap between the second support plate and the photovoltaic panel is adjustable. During the cleaning process, the gap between the second support plate and the photovoltaic panel can be widened to facilitate cleaning. Moreover, this process only requires manual turning of four threaded posts. Compared with the existing technology, it is not necessary to disassemble the photovoltaic panels installed on the second support plate one by one for cleaning, which improves efficiency.

[0013] Second, during the cleaning process, the middle part of the photovoltaic panel can be supported by the support plate three, which avoids the problem of low stability caused by only one end of the photovoltaic panel being fixed. At the same time, the gap between the support plate two and the bolts is sealed by the sealing ring to prevent sand from flowing into the inner side of the support plate two and increasing the cleaning difficulty.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] A photovoltaic panel module support that is easy to maintain includes a support component 1 and a support plate 2. Two inclined support plates 2 are welded to the support component 1, which is made of an alloy material. The support component 1 also includes a second support plate 3, threaded posts 4, threaded sleeves 5, and bolts 6. Each support plate 2 has a second support plate 3 slidably connected to it. The second support plate 3 is a rectangular disc with an opening facing downwards, and slides on the outside of the first support plate 2. Each support plate 2 has a threaded post 4 rotatably connected to both ends. Each support plate 3 has a threaded sleeve 5 fixedly connected to both ends, and the threaded sleeve 5 is screwed onto the corresponding threaded post 4. Nine bolts 6 are passed through each support plate 2, passing through the corresponding support plate 2 and the second support plate 3.

[0022] It also includes a cover 7; each support plate 2 3 has a cover 7 bolted to both ends, and the cover 7 is located outside the corresponding threaded post 4, covering the threaded post 4.

[0023] It also includes sealing rings 8; nine sealing rings 8 are fixed on each support plate 2 3, and the sealing rings 8 are located outside the corresponding bolt 6. The sealing rings 8 are made of rubber.

[0024] It also includes auxiliary components, including sliding blocks 9, connecting blocks 10, and support plates 11. Two sliding blocks 9 are bolted to the bracket 1. Each sliding block 9 has a damped sliding connection to a connecting block 10 on its inner side. All connecting blocks 10 are welded together with support plates 11. Support plates 11 are in contact with sliding blocks 9. When the connecting blocks 10 are pushed upward, they drive the support plates 11 to contact the photovoltaic panel 13. The photovoltaic panel 13 is temporarily supported by the support plates 11.

[0025] It also includes a handle 12; each connecting block 10 is bolted with a handle 12, and the connecting block 10 can be moved by manually gripping the handle 12, making it more convenient to apply force.

[0026] The surface of bracket 1 is provided with an anti-corrosion layer, which can improve the service life of bracket 1.

[0027] During installation, such as Figure 3As shown, the threaded end of the bolt 6 is screwed into the photovoltaic panel 13, and the bolt 6 passes through the support plate 2 and the support plate 3, thereby pressing the photovoltaic panel 13 onto the support plate 3 through the bolt 6, thus completing the installation operation.

[0028] During maintenance, two workers simultaneously rotate the threaded posts 4 at both ends of the front support plate 12. Since the threaded posts 4 are rotatably connected to support plate 12, and support plate 23 can slide on the outside of support plate 12, the threaded posts 4 drive the threaded sleeve 5 downwards. The threaded sleeve 5 then drives support plate 23 downwards, moving the front support plate 23 away from the photovoltaic panel 13. At this time, the photovoltaic panel 13 can still be fixed by the rear support plate 23, thus widening the gap between the front support plate 23 and the photovoltaic panel 13. This facilitates manual cleaning of any sand remaining in the gap. Then, the two workers simultaneously rotate the threaded posts 4 at both ends of the front support plate 12, causing the threaded posts 4 to drive the... The threaded sleeve 5 moves upward, causing the second support plate 3 to move upward, so that the second support plate 3 in front re-contacts the photovoltaic panel 13. The bolt 6 then re-fixes the photovoltaic panel 13. The above operation is repeated to clean the sand remaining between the second support plate 3 and the photovoltaic panel 13. In use, the gap between the second support plate 3 and the photovoltaic panel 13 can be adjusted. During the cleaning process, the gap between the second support plate 3 and the photovoltaic panel 13 can be widened to facilitate cleaning. In this process, the operator only needs to turn four threaded posts 4. Compared with the existing technology, it is not necessary to disassemble the photovoltaic panels 13 installed on the second support plate 3 one by one for cleaning, which improves efficiency.

[0029] During the cleaning process, only one end of the photovoltaic panel 13 is fixed, resulting in low stability. Therefore, before cleaning, the handle 12 is manually pushed upwards, causing the connecting block 10 to move upwards. The connecting block 10 slides upwards in a damped manner within the sliding sleeve 9, causing the support plate 11 to move upwards and contact the photovoltaic panel 13. At this time, the support plate 11 provides support for the middle of the photovoltaic panel 13, which helps improve the stability of the photovoltaic panel 13 during the cleaning process. After cleaning, the support plate 11 is manually moved back to its original position to prevent strong winds from blowing sand into the gap between the support plate 11 and the photovoltaic panel 13. During use, the support plate 11 can provide auxiliary support for the middle of the photovoltaic panel 13 during the cleaning process, avoiding the problem of low stability caused by only one end of the photovoltaic panel 13 being fixed.

[0030] During the cleaning process, after the gap between the second support plate 3 and the photovoltaic panel 13 widens, the sealing ring 8 is fixedly installed on the second support plate 3. The sealing ring 8 can seal the gap between the second support plate 3 and the bolt 6, preventing the sand remaining in the gap between the second support plate 3 and the photovoltaic panel 13 from flowing into the inside of the second support plate 3 from the gap between the second support plate 3 and the bolt 6, thereby avoiding increasing the cleaning difficulty.

[0031] The present application has been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of the present application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of the present application. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present application.
