Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an installation auxiliary support, and more particularly to an installation auxiliary support for the installation of photovoltaic modules and supports in mountainous areas, belonging to the field of photovoltaic power station construction technology. Background Technology

[0002] Solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation is a clean and sustainable form of energy. By converting solar energy into electricity, it reduces dependence on traditional fossil fuels and lowers environmental pollution. Currently, to meet the needs of development models such as agricultural-photovoltaic integration, forestry-photovoltaic integration, and pastoral-photovoltaic integration, PV support structures are characterized by their high altitude above the ground. Therefore, scaffolding is frequently used in the installation of PV modules (PV panels) to provide a stable installation platform for solar PV power generation projects, especially for the installation of PV modules such as PV panels.

[0003] The scaffolding used in photovoltaic (PV) module installation is typically ground-level, meaning it's directly erected on ground platforms. However, most PV power plants are built on unused mountainous land. With the rapid development of the PV industry, the number of PV power plants has increased dramatically, making it increasingly difficult to find suitable mountainous locations with good orientation and terrain. The terrain conditions for PV power plant sites are becoming increasingly challenging, rendering conventional scaffolding unusable and significantly increasing construction difficulty. Furthermore, the areas where PV modules are located often feature steep slopes and uneven terrain. In mountainous PV sites, there are also many rugged and soft areas, making the terrain complex and greatly increasing the difficulty of installing PV supports and modules, as well as posing significant safety risks.

[0004] Therefore, suspended scaffolding has emerged in photovoltaic module installation. This type of scaffolding allows for high-altitude work through suspension, utilizing steel cables or rails to suspend components along with lightweight aluminum alloy frames, which are then suspended from the photovoltaic module frame. Examples include the patent technology titled "Photovoltaic-Specific Scaffolding" published in Chinese invention patent application number 202410157467.0 and the patent technology titled "A Photovoltaic Support with Installation Scaffolding for Fishery-Solar Hybridization" published in Chinese utility model patent application number 202222991705.7. However, these suspended scaffolding systems are inconvenient to suspend, affecting installation and use. They cannot flexibly adjust the height, resulting in poor adaptability to photovoltaic panel installation work for workers of different sizes or with varying height requirements, thus increasing the difficulty of construction. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides an installation auxiliary support for the installation of photovoltaic modules and brackets in mountainous areas. This installation auxiliary support can also be used in photovoltaic power station installation environments other than mountainous environments that require the use of scaffolding.

[0006] The installation auxiliary bracket described in this utility model is mainly installed on the inclined beams of the photovoltaic module frame. It can also be installed on other structures of the photovoltaic module frame, such as diagonal braces. The installation auxiliary bracket includes a suspension arm and a construction platform mounted on the suspension arm. For easy and quick assembly and disassembly, the construction platform can be laid directly flat on the suspension arm. The suspension arm is installed at both ends of the construction platform, with the upper ends of the suspension arms suspended from the inclined beams of the photovoltaic module frame. That is, the entire installation auxiliary bracket requires two inclined beams. The length of the suspension arm is adjustable. In the above structure, by hanging the two ends of the installation auxiliary bracket on the inclined beams of the photovoltaic module frame, quick assembly and disassembly are facilitated. Furthermore, the position of the installation auxiliary bracket relative to the photovoltaic module frame can be flexibly adjusted by adjusting its installation position on the inclined beams, allowing installers to perform operations such as bolting at different locations on the photovoltaic module. The adjustable length of the suspension arm, i.e., the adjustable height of the construction platform, makes it more adaptable to photovoltaic panel installation operations for workers of different sizes or with different installation height requirements.

[0007] Furthermore, the cantilever arm includes a hook, an adapter, a telescopic assembly, and a lifting ring. The adapter is hinged to the upper end of the telescopic assembly, and there is a certain rotational damping between the adapter and the telescopic assembly. The lifting ring is provided at the lower end, and the hook is provided on the adapter. In the above structure, by setting rotational damping, the adapter (or hook) will not rotate under its own weight during the process of lifting the adapter (or hook) by holding the telescopic assembly, allowing the hook to quickly engage with the inclined beam. The lifting ring can be used to directly support the construction platform; both ends of the construction platform can be inserted into the lifting ring respectively. Another function of the lifting ring is to facilitate the extension and retraction of the telescopic assembly.

[0008] Furthermore, the hook is provided with a threaded hole, and the adapter is provided with a locking stud; the two are connected through the locking stud and the threaded hole. After the hook is lifted and engaged with the inclined beam by holding the telescopic assembly, rotating the telescopic assembly will cause the locking stud to rotate until it presses against the inclined beam of the photovoltaic frame, making the connection between the hook and the inclined beam more secure. A locking pressure plate is provided at the upper end of the locking stud, which increases the contact area with the inclined beam. At the same time, the locking pressure plate can also be used to limit the locking stud, preventing accidental unscrewing of the locking stud from the hook and causing the two to separate.

[0009] Furthermore, the hook includes a web and wing plates respectively disposed at the upper and lower ends of the web, forming a C-shaped groove. The opening width of the groove is greater than the thickness of the inclined beam to allow for quick hook insertion. An anti-detachment plate extends inward from the end of the upper wing plate of the hook. After the hook is inserted into the inclined beam, the telescopic assembly is released, and the upper wing plate of the hook adheres tightly to the inclined beam under gravity. At this time, the anti-detachment plate limits the horizontal movement of the hook, preventing it from detaching laterally from the inclined beam, facilitating subsequent installation operations. A threaded hole is provided on the lower wing plate of the hook, and a nut post is provided on the outer side of the wing plate at the threaded hole. The nut post extends the thread length of the threaded hole, making the connection with the locking stud more secure.

[0010] Furthermore, the adapter and telescopic assembly, as well as the lifting ring and telescopic assembly, are all hinged, forming a three-bar linkage structure, which facilitates adjustment during disassembly and assembly. All are connected by through bolt assemblies, and the damping between the adapter and telescopic assembly can be adjusted by adjusting the locking force between the nut and the bolt, making operation simple.

[0011] Furthermore, the telescopic assembly includes a main rod and a secondary rod, with the secondary rod inserted into the main rod for connection. The two are connected by a threaded connection, allowing for length adjustment. Even further, the main rod is a C-shaped plate with a waist plate in its middle. The waist plate serves to reinforce the structure of the main rod and connect the secondary rod. An insertion hole is formed on the waist plate. The secondary rod is a rectangular rod sealed at both ends, with a threaded adjusting post at its upper end. The threaded adjusting post passes through the insertion hole, and a limit nut is provided on the threaded adjusting post located above the insertion hole. The length of the telescopic assembly can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the threaded adjusting post extending out of the insertion hole.

[0012] Furthermore, the suspension arm also includes a support pole. The hook, adapter, telescopic assembly, and lifting ring constitute the suspension arm. The suspension arm includes two sets of suspension arms, with the support pole inserted between the lifting rings of the two sets of suspension arms. The construction platform is laid directly on the support pole for use, facilitating operation by construction personnel.

[0013] Furthermore, the connecting rod is an L-shaped rod, which can be quickly inserted into place when the suspension arm is in use, and has a certain anti-detachment function. A locking bolt is provided on the lower side of the lifting ring. The locking bolt abuts against the connecting rod and fixes the connecting rod by the locking bolt, further preventing the connecting rod from falling out of the lifting ring and improving the stability of use.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This invention features a suspended arm that works in conjunction with the inclined beam of the photovoltaic frame, making suspension more convenient and facilitating quick and easy assembly and disassembly, thus improving construction efficiency. The adjustable length of the suspended arm allows for flexible adjustment of the construction platform height, making it more adaptable to photovoltaic panel installation work for workers of different sizes or with varying installation height requirements, thereby reducing construction difficulty. Furthermore, the installation position of the auxiliary support bracket relative to the photovoltaic module frame can be flexibly adjusted by changing its installation position on the inclined beam, facilitating bolt tightening and other operations at different locations on the photovoltaic modules. Through the use of adapters, locking studs, hooks, and telescopic components, the suspended arm can be quickly fixed, making the construction platform safer and more stable, improving safety performance, and ensuring the personal safety of construction workers.

[0016] This invention can greatly reduce the labor intensity of workers, improve construction efficiency, and is simple to manufacture with low cost. It also allows for rapid installation and adjustment, simplifying the installation process. With a stable structure and reasonable design, it is safe, applicable, and has significant potential for widespread adoption and practical use. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an installation auxiliary support for the installation of photovoltaic modules and brackets in mountainous areas includes a suspension arm 2 and a construction platform 3 mounted on the suspension arm 2. The construction platform 3 can be a frame structure welded from rectangular tubes, or it can be made of loose rectangular tubes or channel steel laid flat. The suspension arm 2 is set at both ends of the construction platform 3, and the upper end of the suspension arm 2 is suspended from the inclined beam 1 of the photovoltaic module frame. To improve construction efficiency, multiple sets of installation auxiliary supports can be set on the inclined beam 1 simultaneously, for example, one set at each of the upper and lower ends of the inclined beam 1, to facilitate simultaneous construction or coordinated operation by construction personnel at both ends of the photovoltaic frame. The length of the suspension arm 2 is adjustable, such as through a pipe or shear frame, all of which are existing technologies that can be adopted.

[0029] like Figure 4As shown, this embodiment provides a specific structure for a suspension arm 2 as follows: The suspension arm 2 includes a hook 4, an adapter 5, a telescopic assembly 6, a lifting ring 7, and a connecting rod 19. The upper end of the telescopic assembly 6 is hinged to the adapter 5, and there is rotational damping between the adapter 5 and the telescopic assembly 6 (for example, this can be achieved through an interference fit, or by using a bolt assembly; the bolt assembly does not show a threaded structure in the attached figure, and the rotational damping is adjusted by adjusting the tightening force of the bolt assembly). The lower end is provided with the lifting ring 7, which is also hinged to the telescopic assembly 6 (connected by a bolt assembly or directly hinged with a round rod, which is welded to the lifting ring 7). More specifically, the adapter 5 is hinged on the fixed section of the telescopic assembly 6, and the lifting ring 7 is provided on the telescopic section. The hook 4 is provided on the adapter 5. The hook 4, adapter 5, telescopic assembly 6, and lifting ring 7 form a suspension arm. The suspension arm 2 includes two sets of suspension arms, and the connecting rod 19 is inserted between the lifting rings 7 of the two sets of suspension arms. Understandably, since the suspension arm 2 is installed on the inclined beam 1, the two sets of suspension arms on the same suspension arm 2 are usually of different lengths in order to keep the support pole 19 horizontal to facilitate the installation of the construction platform 3 and the work of construction personnel at height. The adapter 5 and the lifting ring 7 are both C-shaped parts, the support pole 19 is an L-shaped pole or a simple rectangular tube, and the lifting ring 7 has a locking bolt 20 on its lower side, which abuts against the support pole 19. Locking bolts 20 can be installed on the lifting ring 7 of only one set of suspension arms on the same suspension arm 2; when the support pole 19 is an L-shaped pole, locking bolts 20 may not be required.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] This embodiment is a further optimization and refinement of the suspension arm 2 structure based on Embodiment 1. For example, Figure 6 As shown, the hook 4 includes a web 10 and wing plates 11, i.e., C-shaped parts, respectively disposed at the upper and lower ends of the web 10. An anti-detachment plate 12 extends from the end of the upper wing plate 11 into the C-shaped groove of the hook 4. The opening width between the lower end of the anti-detachment plate 12 and the lower wing plate 11 of the hook 4 remains greater than the thickness of the inclined beam 1, facilitating quick hooking. A threaded hole is provided on the lower wing plate 11 of the hook 4, and a nut post 13 is provided on the outer side of the wing plate 11 at the threaded hole. Alternatively, a smooth hole can be directly provided on the wing plate 11, and then the nut post 13 can be provided on the outer side of the smooth hole. Figure 5As shown, the adapter 5 is provided with a locking stud 8 that mates with the threaded hole on the hook 4 (a high-performance stud is preferred to improve its load-bearing structural strength). The hook 4 and the adapter 5 are connected through the locking stud 8 and the threaded hole. A locking pressure plate 9 is provided at the upper end of the locking stud 8, which can be a round plate or a rectangular plate, etc. Alternatively, the hook 4 can be directly hinged to the telescopic component 6, and then a threaded hole is provided on the hook 4. A bolt is then used to tighten the hook 4 against the inclined beam 1 in the threaded hole. This structure requires an operator to climb onto the photovoltaic bracket to tighten the bolt.

[0032] In this embodiment, the telescopic assembly 6 includes a mother rod 14 and a daughter rod 15, with the daughter rod 15 inserted into the mother rod 14 for connection. Specifically, the mother rod 14 is a C-shaped plate with a waist plate 16 in its middle, and an insertion hole is provided on the waist plate 16. The daughter rod 15 is a rectangular rod with both ends sealed (it can also be a C-shaped plate with both ends sealed; of course, whether it is a rectangular rod or a C-shaped plate, only one end can be sealed to set a threaded adjusting post 17), and a threaded adjusting post 17 is provided at its upper end. The threaded adjusting post 17 passes through the insertion hole, and a limit nut 18 is provided on the threaded adjusting post 17 located above the insertion hole. To further fix the structure of the daughter rod 15, limit nuts 18 can also be provided on the threaded adjusting posts 17 on both sides of the waist plate 16. Alternatively, the mother rod 14 can be configured as a cylindrical rod with a threaded hole, and the threaded adjusting pin 17 of the daughter rod 15 can be directly threaded to the mother rod 14. In this connection structure, attention should be paid to setting the thread direction of the mother rod 14 and the daughter rod 15 so that they do not conflict with each other when the telescopic rod drives the locking stud 8 on the adapter 5 to press against the inclined beam 1.

[0033] Working principle or usage method:

[0034] After the photovoltaic support system completes the installation of the columns, inclined beams 1, and diagonal braces, the construction workers hold the telescopic rod and hook the hook 4 onto the inclined beam 1. Then, they rotate the telescopic rod until the locking stud 8 is pressed against the inclined beam 1 (at this point, the locking stud 8 and hook 4 cooperate to clamp the inclined beam 1). The telescopic rod is then rotated along the adapter 5 to a vertical position, completing the installation of one set of suspended arms. The other set of suspended arms is installed on the same inclined beam 1 in the same way. Then, the height of the two sets of suspended arms is adjusted using the telescopic assembly 6 (this can also be done before installation) to ensure that the height is appropriate and the lifting rings 7 are horizontal. The connecting rods 19 are then inserted between the lifting rings 7 and secured firmly, thus completing the installation of one side of the suspended arm 2. After completing the installation of the suspended arm 2 on the adjacent inclined beam 1 using the above operation, a construction platform 3 is laid between the connecting rods 19 of the two suspended arms 2.

[0035] This utility model uses hooks 4 to suspend the auxiliary installation brackets on the two adjacent inclined beams 1 of the already installed photovoltaic bracket, facilitating the installation of bracket purlins, tie rods, bolts, components, etc., at higher locations. During the installation of the photovoltaic brackets and components, two rows of auxiliary installation brackets can be installed on the photovoltaic brackets. After use, the auxiliary installation brackets can be disassembled and reused on the next set of photovoltaic brackets, achieving cyclical use of the auxiliary installation brackets. Based on on-site construction experience and considering the characteristics of photovoltaic projects—a large number of photovoltaic brackets and numerous, widely distributed installation points—this utility model designs a movable auxiliary installation bracket for the installation of photovoltaic brackets and components in mountainous areas, taking into account the structural dimensions and characteristics of the photovoltaic brackets. This utility model effectively solves the installation problems of photovoltaic brackets and components in mountainous areas, accelerates installation efficiency, and reduces installation costs. At the same time, it greatly improves the safety of installation and construction, reduces safety risks, and promotes the development of mountainous photovoltaic construction.

[0036] Furthermore, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, the use of terms such as "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer" to indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings is only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0037] The specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
