[0016] 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.

[0017] Example 1:

[0018] This utility model provides a solar panel angle adaptive adjustment bracket mechanism, including a base 1, which has an assembly part 2. A movable frame 4 is movably mounted on the base 1 via a hinge 3. A first slide rail 5 and a drive mechanism 6 are fixedly mounted on the base 1. A solar panel 7, a solar tracking sensor 8, and a second slide rail 9 are fixedly mounted on the movable frame 4. The first slide rail 5 is slidably connected to the second slide rail 9 via a connecting assembly 10. A drive wheel 11 and a driven wheel 12 are respectively mounted at both ends of the first slide rail 5. A belt 13 is movably connected between the drive wheel 11 and the driven wheel 12. The belt 13 is fixedly connected to the connecting assembly 10. The drive mechanism 6 is driven by the drive wheel 11 via a connecting rod 14. The connecting assembly 10 includes a pull rod 15 and a trolley 16. One end of the pull rod 15 is fixedly connected to the trolley 16, and the other end of the pull rod 15 is movably mounted with a roller 17. The trolley 16 is fixedly connected to both ends of the belt 13. The trolley 16 includes a body 18 and four wheels 19. The body 18 is fixedly connected to both ends of the belt 13. The drive mechanism 6 includes a housing 20 and a motor 21. The motor 21 is installed inside the housing 20 and drives the connecting rod 14.

[0019] Through the above technical solution, this utility model monitors the sun's position in real time using a solar tracking sensor 8. The control drive mechanism 6 drives the connecting component 10 to move, and in conjunction with the first slide rail 5 and the second slide rail 9, changes the tilt angle of the movable frame 4, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the solar panel 7. This ensures that the solar panel always maintains the optimal direct angle with sunlight, significantly improving photoelectric conversion efficiency and extending the working time of the camera.

[0020] Example 2:

[0021] The movable frame 4 serves as a support platform for the solar panel 7. The solar panel 7 and the solar tracking sensor 8 are fixedly mounted on its upper part, and a second slide rail 9 is fixedly mounted on its lower part. The second slide rail 9 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 5 via a connecting component 10, which is also fixedly connected to the belt 13. When the drive mechanism 6 operates, it drives the drive wheel 11 to rotate via the connecting rod 14, thereby driving the belt 13 to move. The belt 13 then causes the connecting component 10 to slide on the first slide rail 5. Because the connecting component 10 is also connected to the second slide rail 9, it causes the movable frame 4 to change angle.

[0022] The solar tracking sensor 8 monitors the sun's position changes in real time and transmits the signal to the control system. The control system calculates the optimal tilt angle based on the sensor data and controls the drive mechanism 6. The drive motor 21 rotates the drive wheel 11 via the connecting rod 14, causing the belt 13 to shift. The belt 13 drives the connecting assembly 10 to slide on the first slide rail 5. Since the second slide rail 9 is connected to the connecting assembly 10, the movable frame 4 tilts around the hinge 3 as its axis. This linkage mechanism enables precise adjustment of the solar panel 7's angle, ensuring it always maintains the optimal direct sunlight angle.

[0023] This mechanism achieves automatic adjustment of the angle of the solar panel 7 through mechanical linkage. When the sun's position changes, the solar tracking sensor 8 detects the change in the angle of the light, and the control system issues a command to activate the drive mechanism 6. The drive motor 21 drives the drive wheel 11 to rotate via the connecting rod 14, causing the belt 13 to shift. The belt 13 drives the connecting assembly 10 to slide on the first slide rail 5. Since the second slide rail 9 is connected to the connecting assembly 10, the movable frame 4 will tilt at a corresponding angle around the hinge 3. This design allows the solar panel 7 to track the sun's position in real time and always maintain the optimal angle of light reception.

[0024] This adjustment mechanism features a simple structure and high adjustment precision. The smooth adjustment of the movable frame 4's angle is achieved through the cooperation of the slide rail and belt 13. The hinge 3 connection ensures the stability of the movable frame 4's rotation, while the sliding connection of the connecting assembly 10 provides the necessary degrees of freedom. The entire adjustment process requires no manual intervention and is fully automated by the solar tracking sensor 8 and control system, significantly improving solar energy utilization efficiency.

[0025] In practical applications, this mechanism can be widely used in devices such as surveillance cameras that require solar power. By maintaining the optimal light-receiving angle of the solar panel 7, the photoelectric conversion efficiency is significantly improved, extending the operating time of the equipment.

[0026] Example 3:

[0027] The connecting assembly 10 in this embodiment includes two main components: a pull rod 15 and a trolley 16. The pull rod 15 is made of rigid metal material, and one end of it is rigidly connected to the trolley 16 by welding or bolting. The trolley 16 is a sliding mechanism with a roller 17, and its bottom has a groove that matches the first slide rail 5, allowing the trolley 16 to slide smoothly along the first slide rail 5. The other end of the pull rod 15 is equipped with a freely rotatable roller 17, which is made of wear-resistant material, and its rim keeps in contact with the track surface of the second slide rail 9 to achieve rolling friction.

[0028] The connection between the trolley 16 and the belt 13 adopts a double fixing method. Connection holes are provided at both ends of the belt 13, and high-strength bolts are used to firmly fix both ends of the belt 13 to the sides of the trolley 16. This fixing method ensures that the belt 13 will not slip or fall off during transmission. The trolley 16 and the first slide rail 5 cooperate using a T-slot structure. The groove at the bottom of the trolley 16 and the T-shaped protrusion of the first slide rail 5 form a sliding pair, ensuring both motion accuracy and sufficient load-bearing capacity.

[0029] The roller 17 at one end of the pull rod 15 engages with the second slide rail 9 using a T-slot structure, which effectively prevents the roller 17 from detaching from the rail. The roller 17 is mounted on the end of the pull rod 15 via bearings, ensuring flexible rotation and low frictional resistance. During the movement of the entire connecting assembly 10, the trolley 16 moves linearly along the first slide rail 5, while the pull rod 15 drives the roller 17 to roll on the second slide rail 9, forming a compound motion trajectory.

[0030] The working process of the drive mechanism 6 is as follows: The drive motor 21 drives the connecting rod 14 to reciprocate through the output shaft. The other end of the connecting rod 14 is eccentrically connected to the drive wheel 11, converting the rotational motion into the oscillation of the drive wheel 11. The surface of the drive wheel 11 is provided with anti-slip texture, forming a reliable frictional transmission with the inner surface of the belt 13. When the drive wheel 11 oscillates, it drives the belt 13 to circulate, thereby pulling the trolley 16 to move on the first slide rail 5. The driven wheel 12 plays a tensioning and guiding role, keeping the belt 13 at an appropriate tension.

[0031] When the solar tracking sensor 8 detects a change in the sun's position, the control system activates the drive motor 21, which in turn drives the connecting assembly 10 via the aforementioned transmission chain. As the trolley 16 moves along the first slide rail 5, the pull rod 15 pushes or pulls the movable frame 4 to rotate around the hinge axis. Since the second slide rail 9 is fixed to the movable frame 4, changes in the position of the roller 17 on the second slide rail 9 alter the tilt angle of the movable frame 4. This linkage mechanism enables precise adjustment of the solar panel 7's angle, ensuring it always faces the direction of direct sunlight.

[0032] Example 4:

[0033] In this embodiment, the base 1 is provided with an assembly part 2 for fixing and installing the entire support system. A movable frame 4 is movably mounted on the base 1 via a hinge 3, and a solar panel 7 and a solar tracking sensor 8 are fixedly mounted on the movable frame 4. A first slide rail 5 and a drive mechanism 6 are fixedly mounted on the base 1, and a second slide rail 9 is fixedly mounted on the movable frame 4. The first slide rail 5 is slidably connected to the second slide rail 9 via a connecting assembly 10, enabling the angle adjustment function of the movable frame 4.

[0034] The first slide rail 5 has a driving wheel 11 and a driven wheel 12 installed at both ends, and a belt 13 is movably connected between the driving wheel 11 and the driven wheel 12. The drive mechanism 6 is connected to the driving wheel 11 via a connecting rod 14. When the drive mechanism 6 is working, it drives the driving wheel 11 to rotate via the connecting rod 14, thereby driving the belt 13 to move. The connecting assembly 10 includes a pull rod 15 and a trolley 16. One end of the pull rod 15 is fixedly connected to the trolley 16, and the other end is movably mounted with a roller 17, which is movably engaged with the second slide rail 9. The trolley 16 includes a body 18 and four wheels 19. The body 18 is fixedly connected to both ends of the belt 13, and the four wheels 19 ensure that the trolley 16 moves smoothly within the first slide rail 5.

[0035] The solar tracking sensor 8 monitors the sun's position changes in real time and transmits the signal to the control system. The control system controls the drive mechanism 6 based on the sun's position signal. The drive mechanism 6 drives the drive wheel 11 to rotate via the connecting rod 14, and the drive wheel 11 drives the belt 13 to move. Since the trolley 16 is fixedly connected to the belt 13, the movement of the belt 13 causes the trolley 16 to move within the first slide rail 5. When the trolley 16 moves, it drives the second slide rail 9 to move via the pull rod 15. Since the movable frame 4 is connected to the base 1 via the hinge 3, the movement of the second slide rail 9 causes the movable frame 4 to rotate around the hinge 3, thereby changing the tilt angle of the solar panel 7.

[0036] The design of four wheels 19 makes the trolley 16 move more smoothly within the first slide rail 5, reducing vibration and offset during movement and improving the accuracy of the angle adjustment of the movable frame 4. When the position of the sun changes, the entire system can respond quickly, and through the aforementioned transmission mechanism, it can accurately adjust the angle of the solar panel 7, ensuring that the panel always maintains the optimal direct angle with sunlight, significantly improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency.

[0037] In this embodiment, the fixed connection between the trolley 16 and the belt 13 ensures effective power transmission. The arrangement of the four wheels 19 keeps the trolley 16 stable during movement, avoiding jamming caused by unilateral force. The movable engagement design between the roller 17 at one end of the pull rod 15 and the second slide rail 9 allows the second slide rail 9 to move smoothly along with the trolley 16, thereby achieving smooth adjustment of the angle of the movable frame 4. The entire mechanism is compact, has high transmission efficiency, and can achieve precise adaptive adjustment of the angle of the solar panel 7.

[0038] Example 5:

[0039] The drive mechanism 6 in this embodiment includes a housing 20 and a motor 21. The motor 21 is installed inside the housing 20 and drives the connecting rod 14. The housing 20 protects the motor 21 from rain. The motor 21 is a waterproof stepper motor, and its rotor is connected to the connecting rod 14 through a reduction gear set to achieve speed regulation and torque amplification. The connecting rod 14 is made of stainless steel. One end is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 21 through a flange, and the other end is connected to the shaft of the drive wheel 11 through a universal joint, which can compensate for installation errors and adapt to angle changes. The bottom of the housing 20 is provided with a mounting flange, which is fixed to the base 1 with bolts to form a stable support structure.
