Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic support technology, specifically a convection-type windproof photovoltaic support. Background Technology

[0002] Existing centralized photovoltaic (PV) arrays mostly use large, flat panels or fixed-angle installations, resulting in continuous, uninterrupted panels. Under strong winds, this leads to a large windward area and concentrated wind load transfer to the support columns, resulting in high steel consumption in the foundation and a significant risk of vibration fatigue. If a simple, fixed-spacing arrangement is used, shading loss or limited wind resistance may occur. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a PV support system with adjustable panel spacing to create a discontinuous windward surface and prevent convection currents when the wind blows, thus overcoming the aforementioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a convection-type windproof photovoltaic support, which can solve the problems in the prior art.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A convection-type windproof photovoltaic bracket of this utility model includes a mounting frame, on which multiple connecting seats are fixedly installed.

The photovoltaic panels at multiple positions face or move away from the center of the mounting frame, and the photovoltaic panels are aligned and abutted or dispersed.

[0005] A further technical solution includes an mounting frame comprising an outer ring and an inner ring, with a connecting plate fixedly connected at the corner of the outer ring and the inner ring, a plurality of vertical plates fixedly disposed at the bottom of the connecting plate, a base plate fixedly disposed at the bottom of the vertical plate, and a connecting seat fixedly mounted on the inner ring, the connecting plate, and the outer ring.

[0006] In a further technical solution, the outer ring and the inner ring are hexagonal in shape.

[0007] In a further technical solution, the outer ring and the inner ring are arranged at an angle.

[0008] A further technical solution includes a telescopic adjustment device comprising a stand fixedly disposed on one side of the connecting seat, a slide rail fixedly disposed on the stand, a movable frame disposed on one side of the connecting seat, the movable frame being connected and fixedly connected to the photovoltaic panel, a slider fixedly disposed on one side of the movable frame, the slider being slidably connected to the slide rail, and a threaded rod assembly being disposed between the movable frame and the connecting seat to allow the movable frame to telescopically move relative to the connecting seat.

[0009] A further technical solution includes a threaded rod assembly comprising a threaded rod rotatably disposed in the connecting seat, an internal threaded block fixedly disposed on one side of the movable frame, the threaded rod passing through the internal threaded block, the threaded rod being threadedly connected to the internal threaded block, and a power structure for driving the threaded rod to rotate being disposed on the connecting seat.

[0010] A further technical solution includes a power structure comprising a reducer fixedly mounted on the connecting seat, the output end of the reducer being poweredly connected to the threaded rod, and the input end of the reducer being poweredly fixedly connected to a motor.

[0011] In a further technical solution, a plurality of T-shaped grooves are fixedly provided on the back of the photovoltaic panel, and T-shaped bolts are provided in the T-shaped grooves. The T-shaped bolts pass through the movable frame, and nuts are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the T-shaped bolts with thread engagement.

[0014] Third, the mounting frame has a high structural stability, and the outer ring, inner ring and connecting plate are inclined so that the photovoltaic panel is tilted after installation and fixation, which facilitates the photovoltaic power generation of the photovoltaic panel.
