Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of photovoltaic panel technology, and in particular relates to a foldable photovoltaic array transport frame and a shockproof fixing device. Background Technology
[0002] In the prior art, a foldable solar photovoltaic panel with announcement number CN 212486448 U is disclosed. It proposes a folding unit comprising a housing, a mounting plate, a lifting mechanism for raising and lowering the mounting plate, a rectangular frame, and a folding assembly. The folding assembly includes a bidirectional lead screw, a second motor, a first internal threaded sleeve, and a scissor mechanism. The lifting mechanism raises the mounting plate, which in turn moves the rectangular frame and the solar photovoltaic panel body outside the housing. The second motor is then activated, causing the bidirectional lead screw to rotate. The bidirectional lead screw, through the scissor mechanism, increases the distance between the initially folded rectangular frames, thereby increasing the distance between the multiple solar photovoltaic panels and reducing mutual shading. The folding unit folds and stores the multiple solar photovoltaic panels inside the housing, facilitating movement, transportation, and protection.
[0003] However, the lack of a reverse drive mechanism during the use of this device makes the storage operation cumbersome and requires the cooperation of multiple people, which seriously affects the convenience of transportation. This makes it difficult for traditional devices to meet the high-efficiency and convenient operation requirements of modern photovoltaic projects in terms of practicality and flexibility. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a foldable photovoltaic array transport frame and shockproof fixing device. By setting a folding part, it solves the problem that the lack of a reverse drive mechanism leads to cumbersome storage operations that require multiple people to complete, which seriously affects the convenience of transportation. This makes it difficult for traditional devices to meet the needs of modern photovoltaic projects for efficient and convenient operation in terms of practicality and flexibility.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model relates to a foldable photovoltaic array transport frame and shockproof fixing device, including a transport box and a fixing box set inside the transport box. The transport box is provided with shock-absorbing cotton, and several photovoltaic panels are arranged on the right side of the transport box. It also includes: a folding part, which is set on the fixing box; and an assembly part, which is provided in several parts and is installed on the folding part. The transport box and the fixing box are connected by shock-absorbing cotton, and two corresponding photovoltaic panels are hinged together.
[0007] Furthermore, the folding portion includes a telescopic assembly, two of which are mounted on a fixed box; and a power assembly mounted on the telescopic assembly; wherein the power assembly is located at the end of the front telescopic assembly.
[0008] Furthermore, the assembly part includes a connecting rod disposed on the folding part, and a connector is disposed on the folding part. The connector includes a limiting hole opened on the front side of the slide rod. The connecting rod is adapted to the limiting hole. A push plate is slidably connected in the limiting hole. A spring is disposed in the limiting hole. The front side of the spring is fixedly connected to the push plate, and the rear side of the spring is fixedly connected to the slide rod. The corresponding connecting rod is inserted into the limiting hole, and the connecting rod contacts the push plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the telescopic assembly includes a fixing block fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the fixing box. Several sliding rods are fixedly connected to the front side of the fixing block. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the sliding rods. Several sliders are slidably connected to the outer walls of the sliding rods. Each slider is equipped with a hinge. The sliders are notched, partially enclosing the sliding rods. The connecting rod is located behind the sliding rods. The hinge includes a hinge block fixedly connected to the top of the slider. Two L-shaped hinge blocks are hinged to the hinge block, and the two L-shaped hinge blocks are fixedly connected to the photovoltaic panel. The L-shaped hinge blocks are fixedly connected to the corresponding photovoltaic panels.
[0010] Furthermore, the power assembly includes a fixed plate fixedly connected to the rear side of the right slider, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the fixed plate, a gear fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft, a motor fixedly connected to the fixed plate, the output shaft of the motor fixedly connected to the rotating shaft via a coupling, and a rack fixedly connected to the slide rod, with the gear meshing with the rack; wherein, the rack is segmented, and the accuracy of the rack connection is ensured by the support leg at its bottom after the slide rod is assembled.
[0011] The shockproof fixing device for the foldable photovoltaic array transport frame includes shock-absorbing cotton. The shock-absorbing cotton on the transport box can effectively buffer the bumps, vibrations and impacts during transportation through its soft and elastic material.
[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. By incorporating a folding section, after connection, the photovoltaic panel is extended. During extension, the motor on the fixed plate is activated. As the motor rotates, the shaft rotates accordingly, and the gears also rotate. The gears, under the action of the rack, cause the slider to slide along the slide bar. As the slider slides, the hinge block and L-shaped hinge block move accordingly. The movement of the L-shaped hinge block moves the photovoltaic panel along with it. Simultaneously, the L-shaped hinge block moves along the slider in coordination with the movement of the photovoltaic panel. With continuous extension, the photovoltaic panel installation is achieved. When retracting after use, the motor is activated... When the motor reverses, the gears slide in opposite directions under the action of the rack. During the movement, the slider, along with the hinge block and L-shaped hinge block, pushes the photovoltaic panel inward to retract. Due to issues during retraction, staff need to assist in creating a certain initial angle to ensure the photovoltaic panel can retract smoothly, thus achieving the folding and retraction effect. This ensures a smooth and orderly extension process for the photovoltaic panel, reducing the risk of errors during installation. The retraction function can be achieved by reverse driving, which is simple and reliable. It greatly facilitates the transportation and use of photovoltaic panels and enhances the practicality and flexibility of the foldable photovoltaic array transportation frame.
[0014] 2. By setting up an assembly section, when laying photovoltaic panels, the sliding rods must be laid first. During laying, the connecting rod is inserted into the limiting hole. When inserted, the push plate is pushed inward, and the push plate compresses the spring inward. As the connecting rod is inserted, it will be fully inserted into the limiting hole. At this time, the slider is rotated to make the connecting rod match the limiting hole, thereby achieving the connection effect. The degree of rotation is determined by the support legs on the slider. When the support legs on the slider are parallel to the ground, the connection effect is achieved. This ensures that the installation angle of the sliding rod is accurate, providing a stable and reliable foundation for the subsequent laying of photovoltaic panels, and significantly improving the convenience and reliability of the entire installation process.

The legs ensure the accuracy of the rack 225 connection. The hinge includes a hinge block 214 fixedly connected to the top of the slider 213. Two L-shaped hinge blocks 215 are hinged on the hinge block 214, and the two L-shaped hinge blocks 215 are fixedly connected to the photovoltaic panel 114.

[0028] The assembly part 3 includes a connecting rod 311 disposed on the folding part 2.

[0029] The shockproof fixing device for the foldable photovoltaic array transport frame includes shock-absorbing cotton 113. The shock-absorbing cotton 113 installed on the transport box can effectively buffer the bumps, vibrations and impacts during transportation through its soft and elastic material.
[0030] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: When using the photovoltaic panel 114, the sliding rod 212 needs to be laid first. During the laying, the connecting rod 311 is inserted into the limiting hole 312. When inserted, the push plate 313 is pushed inward, and the push plate 313 will compress the spring 314 inward. As the connecting rod 311 is inserted, it will be fully inserted into the limiting hole 312. At this time, the slider 213 is rotated to make the connecting rod 311 match the limiting hole 312, thereby achieving the connection effect. The degree of rotation is determined by the support leg on the slider 213. When the support leg on the slider 213 can be parallel to the ground, the connection effect is achieved. After the connection is completed, the photovoltaic panel 114 is extended. When extended, the motor 224 on the fixing plate 221 is started. When the motor 224 rotates, the rotating shaft 222 will rotate accordingly. When the motor 224 rotates, the gear 223 will also rotate. When the gear 223 rotates, the rack 22 will rotate. Under the action of 5, the slider 213 slides on the slide bar 212. When the slider 213 slides, the hinge block 214 and the L-shaped hinge block 215 will move accordingly. When the L-shaped hinge block 215 moves, it will move the photovoltaic panel 114 accordingly. At this time, the L-shaped hinge block 215 will also move on the slider 213 in coordination with the photovoltaic panel 114. With continuous extension, the photovoltaic panel 114 can be laid. When it needs to be retracted after use, the motor 224 will reverse. When the motor 224 reverses, the gear 223 will slide in the opposite direction under the action of the rack 225. During the movement, the slider 213 will also push the photovoltaic panel 114 inward with the hinge block 214 and the L-shaped hinge block 215. Due to the problem during the retraction, the staff needs to help it to generate a certain initial angle during the movement so that the photovoltaic panel 114 can retract smoothly, thereby achieving the folding and retraction effect.
