Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic device technology, specifically an adjustable photovoltaic device. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic power generation, as a sustainable energy solution, has been widely applied and developed. However, in actual photovoltaic power generation systems, photovoltaic modules are often shaded by surrounding objects (such as buildings, trees, other photovoltaic modules, etc.), causing some photovoltaic modules to be in the shade.

[0003] The existing patent publication number CN217216453U discloses an angle-adjustable photovoltaic bracket, which includes a frame body set on a fixed base. The front end of the frame body is connected to the fixed base through a first front connecting rod and a second front connecting rod. The upper end of the first front connecting rod is connected to the front end of the frame body through a first pin. The rear end of the frame body is connected to the fixed base through a first rear connecting rod and a second rear connecting rod. The upper end of the first rear connecting rod is connected to the rear end of the frame body through a second pin.

[0004] The aforementioned photovoltaic support bracket can be angled, but during adjustment, when part of the photovoltaic panel is shaded, such as by trees, clouds, or the shadow of adjacent components, the location and area of ​​the shading cannot be quickly identified, making it inconvenient to monitor and dynamically adjust the shading on the photovoltaic panel in real time. Therefore, an adjustable photovoltaic device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An adjustable photovoltaic device includes a mounting column, a mounting rod, and a photovoltaic frame for mounting photovoltaic panels;

[0008] The top of the mounting column is equipped with a rotating seat that is rotatably connected to the middle of the mounting rod. At least two sets of photovoltaic frames are mounted on the mounting rod. An electric telescopic rod is movably connected between the bottom of the top of the mounting rod and one side of the top of the mounting column.

[0009] The bottom end of the mounting rod is slidably connected to an adjusting rod, and the bottom end of the mounting rod is connected to a fixing component for fixing the adjusting rod. The end of the adjusting rod away from the mounting rod is connected to a positioning frame, and an infrared camera is installed on the side of the positioning frame closer to the photovoltaic panel.

[0011] In one alternative: the guide post is connected to a limiting post on the side away from the extension rod, and the outer diameter of the limiting post is larger than the outer diameter of the guide post.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] This invention utilizes an infrared camera to capture temperature distribution in real time, accurately locate shadowed areas and hot spots, and adjust the bracket angle for localized shading. The angle of the mounting rod can be adjusted via an electric telescopic rod. When the mounting rod is rotated, the arc-shaped hole on the arc-shaped rod slides on the guide post, stabilizing the photovoltaic frame and thus adjusting the angle of the photovoltaic panel to reduce shadowed areas. The infrared camera can monitor the surface of the photovoltaic panel and capture areas with abnormal temperatures. In practical use, it can be connected to a remote control device to deploy the current output at the shading module and optimize the current path design. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Please see Figures 1-3 In this embodiment, an adjustable photovoltaic device includes a mounting column 1, a mounting rod 2, and a photovoltaic frame 3 for mounting photovoltaic panels;

[0024] The top of the mounting column 1 is equipped with a rotating seat 4 that is rotatably connected to the middle of the mounting rod 2. At least two sets of photovoltaic frames 3 are installed on the mounting rod 2. An electric telescopic rod 5 is movably connected between the bottom of the top of the mounting rod 2 and one side of the top of the mounting column 1. When the electric telescopic rod 5 is working, the rotation angle of the mounting rod 2 on the rotating seat 4 can be adjusted to a suitable angle for receiving sunlight.

[0025] The bottom end of the mounting rod 2 is slidably connected to the adjusting rod 10. The bottom end of the mounting rod 2 is connected to a fixing member for fixing the adjusting rod 10. The end of the adjusting rod 10 away from the mounting rod 2 is connected to the positioning frame 8. The position of the positioning frame 8 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the adjusting rod 10. An infrared camera 9 is installed on the side of the positioning frame 8 close to the photovoltaic panel. The infrared camera 9 can capture areas with abnormal temperature. It can be deployed in key areas for real-time monitoring, and can intuitively locate the shaded area and detect minor shading.

[0026] Using the above solution, the angle of the mounting rod 2 can be adjusted by the electric telescopic rod 5, thereby adjusting the angle of the photovoltaic panel, reducing the shadow area on the photovoltaic panel, and the infrared camera 9 can monitor the surface of the photovoltaic panel and capture areas with abnormal temperature.

[0027] Please see Figure 3 Both sides of the mounting column 1 are provided with arc-shaped rods 7, the top of the arc-shaped rods 7 is connected to square rods 6, the square rods 6 are installed at the bottom of the photovoltaic frame 3, both sides of the mounting column 1 are connected to extension rods 12, the side of the extension rods 12 away from the mounting column 1 is connected to guide posts 13, the arc-shaped rods 7 are provided with arc-shaped holes, the inner wall of the arc-shaped holes is slidably fitted with the outer wall of the guide posts 13; the center of the arc-shaped rods 7 and the rotation axis of the rotating seat 4 are located on the same axis;

[0028] The curved rod 7 provides auxiliary support when the mounting rod 2 is rotated and adjusted, thereby improving the stability of the photovoltaic frame 3.

[0029] Furthermore, a limiting post is connected to the side of the guide post 13 away from the extension rod 12, and the outer diameter of the limiting post is larger than the outer diameter of the guide post 13; the guide post 13 can support the arc-shaped rod 7 to rotate stably.

[0033] Adjust the sliding position of the adjusting rod 10 within the mounting rod 2. After adjustment, the rod body of the locking bolt 11 can be inserted into the corresponding insertion hole to restrict the position of the adjusting rod 10. This allows the infrared camera 9 to be adjusted to a suitable position, preventing the infrared camera 9 and the positioning frame 8 from casting shadows on the photovoltaic panel when exposed to sunlight.

When the mounting rod 2 is rotated and adjusted, the arc-shaped hole on the arc rod 7 slides on the guide post 13, and the photovoltaic frame 3 is stably adjusted, thereby adjusting the angle of the photovoltaic panel and reducing the shadow area on the photovoltaic panel. The infrared camera 9 can monitor the surface of the photovoltaic panel and capture areas with abnormal temperature. In actual use, it can be connected to a remote control device to deploy the current output at the shading module and optimize the current path design.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way.
