Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic panel support technology, and in particular to a modular assembly frame for photovoltaic panel arrays. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, photovoltaic panel installation generally adopts a step-by-step assembly technology. First, the base is fixed at the selected installation site. The base is connected to the building structure by expansion bolts or embedded parts. Supporting poles are vertically installed on the base, ensuring that their verticality meets the design standards. Adjustable angle connectors are added to the top of the poles to adapt to the optimal sunlight tilt angle in different regions. Horizontal and vertical guide rails are laid on the connectors to form a stable support frame. Finally, the photovoltaic panels are fixed to the guide rails with bolts, completing the entire installation process.

[0003] Traditional installation methods require each component to be installed and calibrated individually, which places high demands on the technical skills of the construction personnel and requires the use of a large number of tools and accessories. On the one hand, due to the extensive use of bolts for fixing, the installation process requires repeated tightening and calibration, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, significantly increasing manpower and time costs. On the other hand, the step-by-step installation method lacks modular design, with each component being relatively independent. The installation accuracy is greatly affected by human factors, which can easily lead to the accumulation of errors and insufficient frame stability.

[0004] Therefore, a modular assembly frame for photovoltaic panel arrays was designed. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a modular assembly frame for photovoltaic panel arrays. It solves the problems of traditional mounting frames, such as cumbersome component installation and calibration, reliance on construction personnel's skills, the need for a large number of tools and accessories, and the high cost caused by time-consuming and labor-intensive bolt fixing.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A modular assembly frame for a photovoltaic panel array includes an installation frame and a support frame. The outer wall of the installation frame is provided with a hinge structure, and the support frame is rotatably connected to the installation frame through the hinge structure.

[0008] Preferably, the mounting frame includes a first horizontal bar, a vertical bar, and a second horizontal bar.

[0009] Preferably, the first and second horizontal bars are arranged horizontally, and the vertical bars are arranged vertically, with the first and second horizontal bars being fixedly connected by the vertical bars.

[0010] Preferably, the thickness of the second horizontal bar is greater than the thickness of the first vertical bar and the second horizontal bar. The support frame is composed of multiple support frames, and the bottom of each of the multiple support frames is fixedly installed with the second round bar.

[0011] Preferably, a round rod is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the second crossbar, and the round rod and the second round rod are respectively fixedly connected to the ground through mounting brackets.

[0012] Preferably, the surface of the vertical rod has a groove.

[0013] Preferably, the outer wall of the vertical rod is provided with a plurality of permanent magnet sheets, which are rectangular in design.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This utility model achieves a rotatable connection between the installation frame and the support frame through a hinged structure. When folded, it significantly reduces the volume, making it easy to transport and store. When unfolded for installation, it quickly forms a stable triangular support structure, eliminating the cumbersome steps of traditional multi-bolt connections, thus increasing installation efficiency several times over and effectively reducing labor and time costs. In terms of photovoltaic panel fixing, the dual fixing method of permanent magnets and grooves on the vertical poles not only utilizes magnetism to achieve rapid positioning and initial fixing, but also uses bolts to reinforce and ensure long-term stability, resist harsh environments, and reduce maintenance frequency.

They are only for the purpose of simplifying the description of this utility model and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0027] It is understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more," that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "a" should not be understood as a limitation on the number. Example

[0028] Please see Figure 1-6A modular assembly frame for a photovoltaic panel array includes an assembly frame 1 and a support frame 2. The outer wall of the assembly frame 1 is provided with a hinge structure, and the support frame 2 is rotatably connected to the assembly frame 1 through the hinge structure. The assembly frame 1 includes a first horizontal bar 101, a second vertical bar 102, and a third horizontal bar 103. The first horizontal bar 101 and the second horizontal bar 103 are arranged horizontally, and the second vertical bar 102 is arranged vertically. The first horizontal bar 101 and the second horizontal bar 103 are fixedly connected through the second vertical bar 102. The second horizontal bar 103... The thickness is greater than that of the vertical rod 102 and the horizontal rod 101; the support frame 2 is composed of multiple support frames 201, and the bottom of each support frame 201 is fixedly installed with a round rod 21; the bottom outer wall of the horizontal rod 103 is fixedly installed with a round rod 11, and the round rod 11 and the round rod 21 are respectively fixedly connected to the ground through the mounting connector 3; the surface of the vertical rod 102 is provided with a groove 1021; multiple permanent magnet pieces 4 are provided on the outer wall of the vertical rod 102, and the permanent magnet pieces 4 are rectangular in design.

[0029] By adopting an innovative design that allows the mounting frame 1 and the support frame 2 to be rotatably connected through a hinged structure, the drawbacks of traditional devices are fundamentally solved. When folded for transport, the two can fit tightly together, greatly reducing the size of the device and making it easy to handle and store. When unfolded for installation, simply rotate the support frame 2 to quickly form a stable triangular support structure. Unlike traditional devices, there is no need for multiple bolt fixing connections, which reduces a large number of installation steps. Installers do not need to repeatedly perform bolt alignment and tightening operations, increasing installation efficiency several times and significantly reducing labor and time costs.

[0030] The dual fixing method, which combines the permanent magnet 4 on the vertical rod 102 with the groove 1021, ensures both the convenience of photovoltaic panel installation and the stability of long-term use. The initial fixing of the permanent magnet 4 can quickly position the photovoltaic panel in the early stage of installation and prevent it from slipping. The secondary reinforcement of the groove 1021 with the fasteners and bolts can effectively resist the long-term effects of wind, sun and vibration, prevent the photovoltaic panel from loosening and shifting, extend the service life of the photovoltaic system, and reduce maintenance costs.

[0031] The frame 1 is designed with horizontal bar 101, vertical bar 102, and horizontal bar 2 103. Horizontal bar 101 and horizontal bar 2 103 are fixedly connected by vertical bar 102, forming a sturdy rectangular frame foundation. The thickness of horizontal bar 101 is greater than that of vertical bar 102 and horizontal bar 2 103. After the photovoltaic panel is installed, the high thickness of horizontal bar 101, combined with the thickness of the photovoltaic panel itself and the thickness of vertical bar 102, allows the photovoltaic panel to be precisely embedded in the internal space of the two horizontal bars 2 103. This protects the edges of the photovoltaic panel, preventing direct impact from affecting the edges. In the event of scratches, the protective boundary formed by horizontal bar 2 103 effectively prevents sharp objects from contacting the edges of the photovoltaic panel, extending its service life.

[0032] Workflow

[0033] In its initial state, the mounting frame 1 and the support frame 2 can be completely folded, greatly reducing the overall volume. This not only saves space and reduces transportation costs during transportation, but also allows for close stacking, reducing the warehouse floor space and improving transportation and storage efficiency.

[0034] Once the device arrives at the installation site, the connecting seats 3 are slidably installed on the outer walls of the two round rods 11 at both ends of the bottom crossbar 103 of the mounting frame 1. The two ends of the connecting seats 3 are securely fixed to the contact surface using bolts. After the mounting frame 1 is fixed, the support frame 2 can be flexibly rotated to contact the bottom surface and adjusted to a suitable angle, so that the mounting frame 1 forms a specific tilt angle with the bottom surface. This ensures that the photovoltaic panels installed later always face the sunlight at the optimal angle, maximizing solar energy absorption efficiency and significantly enhancing the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic system. After determining the ideal tilt angle, the connecting seats 3 are then slidably installed on the outer walls of the bottom round rod 21 of the support frame 2, and similarly fixed to the bottom surface using bolts.

[0035] After the installation frame 1 and support frame 2 are installed, four rectangular permanent magnets 4 are set on the surface of the vertical rod 102. Using the principle of magnetic adsorption, the four corners of the photovoltaic panel can be quickly and initially fixed, simplifying the installation and positioning process, saving manpower and time costs, and also playing a role in stabilizing and positioning the photovoltaic panel in the initial fixing stage. The inner wall of the vertical rod 102 is provided with a groove 1021, into which the matching fasteners can be slidably inserted, and then the photovoltaic panel and support frame 2 can be further reinforced by bolts.

[0036] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the stated principles, the implementation of the present invention may have any variations or modifications.
