[0002] In foldable containerized photovoltaic power stations, when the modules are unfolded and folded to near vertical position, they may tip forward due to a shift or instability of the center of gravity. Currently, this is all done manually.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] 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.
[0019] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an automatic anti-tipping device for a foldable container photovoltaic support includes photovoltaic modules. The photovoltaic modules are connected by connectors 4 to form a continuous M-shape. The bottom of the photovoltaic modules is mounted on a track 1 via a sliding component. Anti-tipping devices are provided on the sides of two adjacent photovoltaic modules and cooperate with each other.
[0020] The anti-tipping device includes an upper baffle 7 and a lower baffle 13. The upper baffle 7 and the lower baffle 13 are rotatably mounted on the upper mounting plate 9 and the lower mounting plate 12, respectively. The upper baffle 7 and the lower baffle 13 are connected by a pull rod 11. The upper baffle 7 extends with a hook-shaped body that cooperates with the upper stop pin 6 of the stop pin mounting plate 5. The lower baffle 13 has a lower stop pin 14 at its bottom end that abuts against the opposite photovoltaic module. The end of the pull wire 10 located on the upper baffle 7 is fixed to the adjacent module frame, and the middle part passes through the rope loop of the module where the upper mounting plate 9 is located. The upper baffle 7 and the lower baffle 13 are in the same module, and the stop pin mounting plate 5 is in another adjacent module. A spring 8 is provided between the upper mounting plate 9 and the upper baffle 7.
[0021] An arc-shaped groove is provided at the bottom of the upper baffle 7, and the arc-shaped groove cooperates with the convex shaft of the upper mounting plate 9.
[0022] The top of track 1 is conical.
[0023] The sliding assembly includes a roller 3, which is mounted on the bottom of the assembly via a roller support frame. The roller 3 has a recessed center that engages with the tapered portion of the track 1.
[0024] Both sides of the roller support frame are equipped with limiting arms 2.
[0025] The components move linearly along the track. The stop pin mounting plate and upper mounting plate are respectively installed on the frames of two adjacent components. The upper and lower stops can rotate around the upper and lower bearings. The upper stop has a limiting groove. When the component angle is large, the spring is tightened, pulling the upper stop open to ensure it is in the correct position. At this time, the pull rod pulls open the lower stop, preparing it to contact the next component frame. When the component is close to vertical, the lower stop pin contacts the next component frame. As the component angle decreases, the component frame applies a downward force to the lower stop. The lower stop moves the pull rod and the upper stop, and the hook structure on the upper stop contacts and tightens, pulling and fixing the adjacent components to prevent them from tipping over during folding. The next group of components repeats the above actions until folding is complete.
[0026] During deployment, the above actions are reversed. As the module's angle increases, the spring pulls open the upper baffle, allowing the module to unfold smoothly. Undeployed modules remain connected by their own weight and the anti-tipping device, achieving sequential unlocking and deployment. When the module reaches its maximum angle, a cable pulls the upper baffle back to its retracted position, preventing the baffle's shadow from affecting the module's power generation efficiency.
[0027] It should be noted that in this article, relational terms such as first and second are used only to distinguish one entity from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities.
[0028] The above examples are merely illustrative of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. All designs that are the same as or similar to this utility model are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
