Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of inverter bracket technology, specifically relating to a bracket for a solar inverter. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing global demand for clean energy and growing environmental awareness, solar energy, as a clean and renewable energy source, is being used more and more widely in the energy sector. Solar power generation systems, with their advantages of being pollution-free, noise-free, and abundant in resources, are gradually becoming an important part of energy supply. As a key component of solar power generation systems, solar inverters convert the direct current (DC) generated by solar panels into alternating current (AC) for grid connection or user consumption, leading to a continuously expanding market demand for them.

[0003] To better install and secure solar inverters and ensure their stable operation, solar inverter brackets have been developed.

[0004] Most current solar inverter mounting systems have overly simple structures that are ineffective at preventing rain damage, making them unable to withstand severe weather. This issue has become a pressing problem for researchers in the field. Utility Model Content

[0007] This utility model further illustrates that the inner side of the protective shell is provided with a second threaded post, the outer periphery of the second threaded post is threaded with a second threaded groove, a hollow post is installed outside the second threaded groove, a third bearing is provided outside the hollow post, a lifting frame is rotatably connected to the outer side of the third bearing, a fourth bearing is provided on the side wall of the lifting frame, a second hand crank is rotatably connected to the inner side of the fourth bearing, a first bevel gear is fixed to the end of the second hand crank, a second bevel gear is meshed with one side of the first bevel gear, a mounting plate is fixed to the side wall of the lifting frame, a second limiting groove plate is fixed to the other end of the mounting plate, a limiting post is provided inside the second limiting groove plate, and a mounting hole is opened inside the mounting plate.

[0008] The present invention further explains that the fixed frame forms a rotating structure with the first bearing and the first threaded column, and forms a fixed structure with the first hand handle. The first threaded column forms a threaded connection with the lifting plate through the first threaded groove, and the lifting plate forms a sliding structure with the fixed frame through the first limiting groove plate.

[0009] This utility model further illustrates that the lifting plate and the protective shell form a fixed structure, and multiple sets of water troughs are equally spaced at the top of the protective shell. The protective shell and the water receiving chamber form a fixed structure, and four sets of drip ends are equally spaced below the water receiving chamber.

[0010] The present invention further explains that the second hand handle forms a rotating structure with the lifting frame through the fourth bearing, and the second hand handle forms a fixed structure with the first bevel gear. The first bevel gear forms a meshing structure with the hollow column through the second bevel gear, and the hollow column forms a threaded connection with the second threaded column through the second threaded groove.

[0013] By incorporating a fixed frame, a first bearing, a first threaded column, a first hand crank, a second bearing, a first threaded groove, a lifting plate, a first limit groove plate, a protective shell, a water tank, a water receiving chamber, and a drip end, the protective shell and water receiving chamber can be adjusted to rise and fall at any time. This allows staff to perform maintenance or inspection on the inverter inside the protective shell after it has risen. Conversely, when the protective shell is lowered to its lowest point, it can completely enclose the inverter for rain protection. Furthermore, the water receiving chamber and drip end can collect rainwater and discharge it centrally to prevent rainwater from penetrating the protective shell. This avoids the situation where most solar inverter brackets have overly simple structures that are not effective at preventing rain and thus cannot cope with severe weather.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 The present invention provides a technical solution: a bracket for a solar inverter, comprising a support base 1, a fixing frame 2 fixed on the upper surface of the support base 1, a first bearing 3 provided on the inner side of the top of the fixing frame 2, a first threaded post 4 provided on the inner side of the first bearing 3, a first hand crank 5 fixed on the top of the first threaded post 4, a second bearing 6 provided at the connection between the first threaded post 4 and the support base 1, a first threaded groove 7 threadedly connected to the outer periphery of the first threaded post 4, a lifting plate 8 provided on the outer side of the first threaded groove 7, a first limiting groove plate 9 fixed on the side wall of the lifting plate 8, a protective shell 10 fixed on the other side wall of the lifting plate 8, a water trough 11 opened at the top of the protective shell 10, a water receiving chamber 12 fixed on the top side wall of the protective shell 10, and a drip end 13 provided on the lower surface of the water receiving chamber 12.

[0023] The fixed frame 2 forms a rotating structure with the first threaded column 4 through the first bearing 3, and the first threaded column 4 forms a fixed structure with the first hand handle 5. The first threaded column 4 forms a threaded connection with the lifting plate 8 through the first threaded groove 7, and the lifting plate 8 forms a sliding structure with the fixed frame 2 through the first limiting groove plate 9. By rotating the first hand handle 5 by external force, the first threaded column 4 can be driven to rotate. Through the threaded connection between the first threaded column 4 and the first threaded groove 7, the rotation of the first threaded column 4 can make the lifting plate 8 rise and fall.

[0024] The lifting plate 8 and the protective shell 10 form a fixed structure. Multiple sets of water tanks 11 are evenly spaced at the top of the protective shell 10. The protective shell 10 and the water receiving chamber 12 form a fixed structure. Four sets of drip ends 13 are evenly distributed below the water receiving chamber 12. The lifting plate 8 can adjust the lifting of the protective shell 10 and the water receiving chamber 12 at any time. After the protective shell 10 is raised, the staff can perform maintenance or inspection on the inverter inside the protective shell 10. Conversely, when the protective shell 10 is lowered to the lowest point, it can completely cover the inverter for rain protection. In addition, the water receiving chamber 12 and the drip ends 13 can collect rainwater and discharge it in a concentrated manner to prevent rainwater from penetrating the protective shell 10. Example

[0025] Based on Embodiment 1, a preferred embodiment of the solar inverter bracket provided by this utility model is as follows:Figures 1 to 4 As shown: A second threaded post 14 is provided on the inner side of the protective shell 10. A second threaded groove 15 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the second threaded post 14. A hollow post 16 is installed on the outer side of the second threaded groove 15. A third bearing 17 is provided on the outer side of the hollow post 16. A lifting frame 18 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the third bearing 17. A fourth bearing 19 is provided on the side wall of the lifting frame 18. A second hand crank 20 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the fourth bearing 19. A first bevel gear 21 is fixed to the end of the second hand crank 20. A second bevel gear 22 is meshed on one side of the first bevel gear 21. A mounting plate 23 is fixed to the side wall of the lifting frame 18. A second limiting groove plate 24 is fixed to the other end of the mounting plate 23. A limiting post 25 is provided on the inner side of the second limiting groove plate 24. A mounting hole 26 is opened inside the mounting plate 23.

[0026] The second hand crank 20 forms a rotating structure with the lifting frame 18 through the fourth bearing 19, and the second hand crank 20 forms a fixed structure with the first bevel gear 21. The first bevel gear 21 forms a meshing structure with the hollow column 16 through the second bevel gear 22. The hollow column 16 forms a threaded connection with the second threaded column 14 through the second threaded groove 15. When the second hand crank 20 is rotated by external force, the first bevel gear 21 can be driven to rotate. Through the meshing structure of the first bevel gear 21 and the second bevel gear 22, the rotation of the first bevel gear 21 can cause the second bevel gear 22 to rotate, which indirectly drives the hollow column 16 to rotate.

[0027] The hollow column 16 forms a rotating structure with the lifting frame 18 via the third bearing 17, and the lifting frame 18 forms a fixed structure with the mounting plate 23. The mounting plate 23 forms a sliding structure with the limiting post 25 via the second limiting groove plate 24. The mounting holes 26 are provided with multiple sets of equally spaced holes inside the mounting plate 23. Through the threaded connection between the second threaded groove 15 and the second threaded post 14, the rotation of the hollow column 16 can raise and lower the hollow column 16 and the lifting frame 18, thereby adjusting the position of the mounting plate 23 so that the solar inverter can be installed in different positions.

[0028] In use, first adjust the position of the mounting plate 23 according to the height of the solar inverter. By turning the second hand lever 20 with external force, the first bevel gear 21 can be rotated. The rotation of the first bevel gear 21 can rotate the second bevel gear 22, which indirectly drives the hollow column 16 to rotate. The rotation of the hollow column 16 can raise and lower the hollow column 16 and the lifting frame 18, thereby adjusting the position of the mounting plate 23 so that the solar inverter can be installed in different positions. Then, by turning the first hand lever 5 with external force, the first threaded column 4 can be rotated. The rotation of the first threaded column 4 can raise and lower the lifting plate 8. The raising and lowering of the lifting plate 8 can adjust the raising and lowering of the protective shell 10 and the water collection tank 12 at any time. After the protective shell 10 is raised, the staff can repair or inspect the inverter inside the protective shell 10. Conversely, when the protective shell 10 is lowered to the lowest point, it can completely cover the inverter for rain protection. In addition, the water collection tank 12 and the drip end 13 can collect rainwater and discharge it in a concentrated manner to prevent rainwater from penetrating the protective shell 10.
