Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic panel support devices, specifically a photovoltaic panel reinforcement support device resistant to wind and snow. Background Technology
[0002] With continuous technological advancements, the conversion efficiency of photovoltaic panels is constantly improving, while costs are continuously decreasing, making photovoltaic power generation increasingly competitive in the energy market. It is widely used in various scenarios, including off-grid power supply in remote areas, distributed power generation in urban buildings, and large-scale photovoltaic power plants.
[0003] In existing technologies, photovoltaic panels are typically fixed to brackets using specific mounting structures. Generally, the brackets are pre-installed in suitable locations, such as the ground or roof, and then the photovoltaic panels are placed on the support surface of the brackets, connected and fixed to the brackets using bolts, clips, and other connectors. Under normal circumstances, this installation method can ensure the stable operation of the photovoltaic panels, ensuring that they can properly receive sunlight and generate electricity.
[0004] However, photovoltaic (PV) panels are mostly installed outdoors, making them inevitably susceptible to various natural factors, with wind and snow being particularly significant. During windy and snowy weather, strong winds and heavy snow exert dynamic loads on the PV panels, subjecting them to periodic impacts. Over time, this can cause the panels to loosen, affecting their normal light-receiving angle and power generation performance. In severe cases, it can even lead to the panels detaching from their supports, causing equipment damage and safety accidents. Therefore, we propose a wind and snow resistant PV panel reinforcement and support device to effectively address these drawbacks. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wind and snow resistant photovoltaic panel reinforcement and support device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a wind and snow resistant photovoltaic panel reinforcement support device, including a support column, a longitudinal beam and a cross beam at the top of the support column, a photovoltaic panel above the longitudinal beam and the cross beam, the longitudinal beam being detachably connected to the top of the support column, the cross beam being detachably connected to the top surface of the longitudinal beam, the photovoltaic panel being detachably connected to the top surface of the cross beam, and a reinforcement component slidingly provided on the longitudinal beam along its own length direction, the reinforcement component being used to fix the end of the photovoltaic panel.
[0007] Optionally, the longitudinal beam is U-shaped, and the reinforcing component is slidably connected to the inner wall of the longitudinal beam. The reinforcing component is detachably connected to the bottom wall of the longitudinal beam by bolts.
[0008] Optionally, the reinforcement component includes a mounting base, which is detachably connected to the inner bottom wall of the longitudinal beam by bolts, and the mounting base and the side wall of the longitudinal beam are in sliding engagement.
[0009] Optionally, two connecting blocks are fixedly provided on the top surface of the mounting base. The two connecting blocks are symmetrically distributed from left to right. A connecting rod is fixedly provided on the side of each of the two connecting blocks. A reinforcing cover is fixedly provided at the end of the connecting rod away from the connecting block. The reinforcing cover is used to fix the end of the photovoltaic panel.
[0010] Optionally, the reinforcing cover consists of a side abutment plate and a limiting plate. The side abutment plate has an L-shaped planar projection. The outer side of the side abutment plate is fixedly connected to the connecting rod, and the limiting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the side abutment plate.
[0011] Optionally, when the reinforcing cover is fixed to the end of the photovoltaic panel, the inner side of the side abutment plate abuts against two adjacent sides of the front, rear, left, and right sides of the photovoltaic panel, and the bottom surface of the limiting plate abuts against the top surface of the photovoltaic panel.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a wind and snow resistant photovoltaic panel reinforcement support device, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] This invention reinforces the ends of the photovoltaic panel by setting a reinforcing component on the longitudinal beam and using the reinforcing cover in the reinforcing component to limit the front, back, left, right and top surfaces of the photovoltaic panel. This ensures that the photovoltaic panel can be firmly fixed no matter which direction the strong wind blows from, thereby improving the stability of the photovoltaic panel after installation and giving it a certain degree of wind and snow resistance.

[0020] 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.
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, in the existing technology, workers first vertically install the support column 1 on the ground, then install the longitudinal beam 101 on top of the support column 1 with bolts, and then install the crossbeam 102 on top of the longitudinal beam 101 with bolts. The photovoltaic panel 2 is then installed on top of the crossbeam 102 using a fixing clamp 103 and other connecting parts (not shown in the figure). The fixing clamp 103 typically secures the photovoltaic panel 2 by applying pressure to the top surface of the photovoltaic panel 2 using a reinforcing component 3 and by applying adhesive. However, most reinforcing components 3 are installed on the left and right sides of the photovoltaic panel 2 as shown in the support column 1. In windy or snowy weather, if strong winds blow from the front and rear sides of the photovoltaic panel 2, the front and rear sides of the photovoltaic panel 2 will be subjected to continuous impact forces. Over time, friction may occur between the top surface of the photovoltaic panel 2 and the bottom surface of the fixing clamp 103, which may not only damage the top surface of the photovoltaic panel 2, but also loosen the connection between the photovoltaic panel 2 and the fixing clamp 103, thereby causing the position of the photovoltaic panel 2 to change and affecting the power generation efficiency.
[0022] To address the above problems, this application proposes the following technical solution:
[0023] Please see Figure 2 - Figure 5 A wind and snow resistant photovoltaic panel reinforcement support device includes a support column 1. The top of the support column 1 is provided with a longitudinal beam 101 and a crossbeam 102. A photovoltaic panel 2 is mounted above the longitudinal beam 101 and the crossbeam 102. The longitudinal beam 101 is detachably connected to the top of the support column 1 by bolts, and the crossbeam 102 is detachably connected to the top surface of the longitudinal beam 101 by bolts. The photovoltaic panel 2 is detachably connected to the top surface of the crossbeam 102. The support column 1 is a telescopic structure. The support column 1, longitudinal beam 101, and crossbeam 102 are all made of materials such as steel, aluminum alloy, or weathering steel to improve the strength of the support and extend its service life. A hinge is rotatably connected to the movable end of the support column 1. The hinge is bolted to the bottom of the longitudinal beam 101, allowing the tilt angle of the longitudinal beam 101 to be adjusted.
[0024] Furthermore, a reinforcing component 3 is slidably provided on the longitudinal beam 101 along its own length direction. The reinforcing component 3 is used to fix the end of the photovoltaic panel 2. The reinforcing component 3 is located in the area of the longitudinal beam 101 near the end of the photovoltaic panel 2. By controlling the sliding of the reinforcing component 3 on the longitudinal beam 101, the reinforcing component 3 can adapt to the reinforcement of photovoltaic panels 2 of different lengths.
[0025] Specifically, the longitudinal beam 101 is U-shaped, and the reinforcing component 3 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the longitudinal beam 101. The reinforcing component 3 is detachably connected to the bottom wall of the longitudinal beam 101 by bolts, so that when the reinforcing component 3 reinforces the photovoltaic panel 2, the user can fix the reinforcing component 3 with bolts to prevent the reinforcing component 3 from moving further.
[0026] The reinforcing component 3 includes a mounting base 301, which is detachably connected to the inner bottom wall of the longitudinal beam 101 by bolts, and the mounting base 301 and the side wall of the longitudinal beam 101 are in sliding engagement. As shown in the support column 1, the mounting base 301 includes a base located on the inner bottom wall of the longitudinal beam 101. The base is detachably connected to the longitudinal beam 101 by bolts. On both the left and right sides of the upper surface of the base, there are U-shaped sliding sleeves that are fixedly connected, and the sliding sleeves are in sliding engagement with the side wall of the longitudinal beam 101.
[0027] Furthermore, two connecting blocks 302 are fixedly provided on the top surface of the mounting base 301. The two connecting blocks 302 are symmetrically distributed from left to right. The two connecting blocks 302 are respectively fixedly connected to the upper surface of the two U-shaped sliding sleeves. The top surface width of the sliding sleeve in the mounting base 301 is not less than 5 mm, and the thickness of the connecting block 302 is also not less than 5 mm, so as to improve the overall strength of the reinforcing component 3.
[0028] In this embodiment, a connecting rod 303 is fixedly provided on the side of each of the two connecting blocks 302, and a reinforcing cover 304 is fixedly provided at the end of the connecting rod 303 away from the connecting block 302. The reinforcing cover 304 is used to fix the end of the photovoltaic panel 2.
[0029] Specifically, the reinforcing cover 304 consists of a side abutment plate 3041 and a limiting plate 3042. The top projection shape of the side abutment plate 3041 is L-shaped. The outer side of the side abutment plate 3041 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 303. The limiting plate 3042 is fixedly connected to the top of the side abutment plate 3041 so that the shape of the reinforcing cover 304 can be adapted to the end shape of the photovoltaic panel 2.
[0030] On the other hand, the thickness of the photovoltaic panel 2 is 3.5 to 5 mm, and the height of the side plate 3041 is greater than the thickness of the photovoltaic panel 2, so that the end of the photovoltaic panel 2 can be completely blocked.
[0031] It should be noted that when the reinforcing cover 304 is fixed to the end of the photovoltaic panel 2, the inner side of the side abutment plate 3041 abuts against two adjacent sides of the front, rear, left and right sides of the photovoltaic panel 2, and the bottom surface of the limiting plate 3042 abuts against the top surface of the photovoltaic panel 2, so that the sides and top surface of the photovoltaic panel 2 can be limited by the reinforcing cover 304, thereby preventing the photovoltaic panel 2 from shaking when blown by the wind and improving stability.
[0032] The application scenario and operation process of this utility model are as follows: First, the existing support column 1 is installed on the ground perpendicular to the ground. Then, the longitudinal beam 101 is fixed to the top of the support column 1 with bolts. Subsequently, the cross beam 102 is fixed to the top of the longitudinal beam 101 with bolts or other connecting parts. Then, the photovoltaic panel 2 is installed on the top of the longitudinal beam 101 using the fixing clamp 103 and other connecting parts. This completes the installation of the photovoltaic panel 2 in the prior art.
[0033] Subsequently, when using the reinforcing component 3, it can slide into the inner side of the longitudinal beam 101 from the openings at both ends of the longitudinal beam 101, allowing the mounting base 301 and the longitudinal beam 101 to slide together. At this time, the reinforcing component 3 is then controlled to slide on the longitudinal beam 101, causing the reinforcing cover 304 to gradually approach the end of the photovoltaic panel 2. This continues until the side abutment plate 3041 and the end side wall of the photovoltaic panel 2 are in contact, and the limiting plate 3042 and the top wall of the photovoltaic panel 2 are in contact. If it is necessary to adapt to photovoltaic panels 2 of different widths, the thickness of the side abutment plate 3041 and the limiting plate 3042 can be adjusted appropriately during manufacturing, and the length of the connecting rod 303 can also be adjusted according to the actual situation. Finally, the mounting base 301 and the longitudinal beam 101 are fixed together with bolts, thus completing the fixation of the reinforcing component 3. This allows the reinforcing cover 304 to reinforce the end of the photovoltaic panel 2, improving the stability of the photovoltaic panel 2 after installation and enabling it to have a certain degree of wind and snow resistance.
