Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic equipment installation technology, and specifically to a photovoltaic equipment installation bracket. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, photovoltaic (PV) equipment mounting brackets commonly suffer from inconvenient azimuth angle adjustment. Most brackets employ fixed structures or manual adjustment methods, making real-time tracking of the solar azimuth angle difficult, leading to reduced solar panel efficiency and impacting power generation. While some adjustable brackets incorporate rotation capabilities, their complex structures and high rotational resistance necessitate significant additional driving force, hindering smooth and flexible adjustment. Furthermore, traditional brackets present difficulties in installation and maintenance, with components often welded or bolted together, making transportation and on-site assembly inconvenient and hindering future component replacement or repair. These problems stem from structural designs that fail to adequately consider ease of adjustment and modularity, while simultaneously presenting a design contradiction between reducing rotational friction and ensuring reliable operation. Previous attempts at improvement have consistently focused on achieving smooth, effortless rotation while maintaining structural stability and ease of assembly and disassembly. Utility Model Content

[0013] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model achieves efficient and stable azimuth angle tracking adjustment: The output shaft of the motor 10 is detachably inserted into the first connecting sleeve 12, and the first connecting sleeve 12 is driven to rotate by the motor 10, forming a direct and efficient drive transmission chain. The motor, as the power source, directly transmits torque to the first connecting sleeve through the output shaft, thereby driving the entire rotating plate and the photovoltaic module above it to rotate. This method avoids complex transmission mechanisms, reduces energy loss, and makes azimuth angle adjustment more efficient and precise. At the same time, at least one pair of rollers 15 are provided at the bottom of the rotating plate 5, rolling on the upper surface of the support plate 7, which transforms traditional sliding friction into rolling friction, significantly reducing the frictional resistance when the rotating plate 5 rotates, resulting in a smaller motor load, a smoother and less strenuous rotation process, and reduced wear.
[0014] 2. This utility model significantly improves the convenience of assembly, disassembly, and maintenance: Through multiple "detachable" connections, this utility model achieves modularity of the bracket. For example, the support plate 7 is detachably mounted on top of a pair of first support rods 8, the output shaft of the motor 10 is detachably inserted into the first connecting sleeve 12, and a pair of vertical second support rods 2 are detachably mounted on the rotating plate 5. These features allow the entire bracket to be decomposed into multiple independent modular units. This design greatly facilitates packaging, transportation, and on-site installation, while also making subsequent component replacement and maintenance simple and quick, effectively solving the problem of difficult assembly and disassembly in the prior art.
[0015] 3. The present invention has a compact structure and high integration: the design of setting a motor 10 between a pair of first support rods 8 on the mounting plate 9 makes full use of the space under the bracket and integrates the drive component (motor) inside the support structure, making the overall structure very compact, reducing the floor space and materials used, and improving the overall integrity of the structure.
[0016] 4. Under the premise of ensuring structural stability and reliability, this utility model successfully achieves stable and efficient adjustment of the azimuth angle of the photovoltaic panel, while greatly improving the product's disassembly and maintenance convenience.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a photovoltaic equipment mounting bracket, comprising: Mounting plate 9 is horizontally arranged and a pair of vertical first support rods 8 are arranged on it. A motor 10 is arranged between the pair of first support rods 8 on the mounting plate 9. A support plate 7 is horizontally arranged and detachably mounted on top of a pair of first support rods 8, and the support plate 7 is provided with a rotating hole; A rotating plate 5 is horizontally positioned above the support plate 7. At least one pair of rollers 15 that roll on the upper surface of the support plate 7 and a vertical first connecting sleeve 12 located between the pair of rollers 15 are provided at the bottom of the rotating plate 5. The first connecting sleeve 12 is rotatably inserted into the rotating hole. The output shaft of the motor 10 is detachably inserted into the first connecting sleeve 12 and is driven to rotate by the motor 10. A pair of vertical second support rods 2 are detachably provided on the rotating plate 5. A horizontal hinge rod 1 is rotatably provided at the top of the second support rods 2. A photovoltaic panel 3 is detachably provided on the hinge rod 1.
[0023] The photovoltaic equipment mounting bracket provided in this technical solution mainly consists of three parts: the mounting foundation, the drive transmission mechanism, and the photovoltaic panel support mechanism.
[0024] The mounting base mainly consists of a horizontally positioned mounting plate 9. This mounting plate 9 can be fixed to a mounting surface such as a roof or ground using bolts or other fasteners. A pair of vertical first support rods 8 are fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the mounting plate 9. A motor 10 is also mounted on the mounting plate 9 between these two first support rods 8. Preferably, the motor 10 can be mounted on the mounting plate 9 using a mounting bracket to improve its stability.
[0025] The drive transmission mechanism is mounted on the mounting base. Specifically, a horizontally positioned support plate 7 is detachably mounted on top of a pair of first support rods 8. A circular rotating hole is formed in the middle of the support plate 7. A horizontally positioned rotating plate 5 is suspended above the support plate 7 by a mechanism at its bottom. At least a pair of rollers 15 are provided at the bottom of the rotating plate 5, which can roll on the upper surface of the support plate 7, thereby significantly reducing the frictional resistance when the rotating plate 5 rotates. Between the pair of rollers 15, a vertically downward first connecting sleeve 12 is also fixed at the bottom of the rotating plate 5. The lower end of the first connecting sleeve 12 passes through the rotating hole on the support plate 7 and can rotate freely relative to the support plate 7. The output shaft of the motor 10 is detachably inserted into the first connecting sleeve 12 from bottom to top. When the motor 10 is started, its output shaft transmits torque to the first connecting sleeve 12, thereby driving the entire rotating plate 5 to rotate horizontally relative to the support plate 7.
[0026] A photovoltaic panel support mechanism is mounted on a rotating plate 5. A pair of vertical second support rods 2 are detachably mounted on the rotating plate 5. The tops of the pair of second support rods 2 jointly support a horizontal hinge rod 1. Finally, the photovoltaic panel 3 is detachably mounted on this hinge rod 1 via a hinge structure at its top.
[0027] The working principle of the photovoltaic equipment mounting bracket provided in this technical solution is as follows: When the motor 10 is working, its output shaft rotates, driving the first connecting sleeve 12 connected to it to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the first connecting sleeve 12 further drives the entire rotating plate 5 to rotate smoothly horizontally relative to the support plate 7 below, with the first connecting sleeve 12 at its bottom as the axis and the roller 15 as the auxiliary support. The rotation of the rotating plate 5 drives the pair of second support rods 2, hinge rods 1, and finally the photovoltaic panel 3 above it to rotate together. In this way, the horizontal azimuth angle of the photovoltaic panel 3 can be adjusted, enabling it to track the changes in the sun's azimuth and receive solar radiation to the maximum extent, thereby improving power generation efficiency.
[0028] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: High integration and compact structure: The drive motor 10 is mounted on the mounting plate 9 and located between a pair of first support rods 8, making full use of the space under the bracket, resulting in a very compact overall structure and reducing the floor space and materials used.
[0029] Smooth and efficient rotation: Driven by direct insertion of the output shaft of motor 10 into the first connecting sleeve 12, the transmission is direct and efficient. The roller 15 at the bottom of the rotating plate 5 forms rolling friction with the upper surface of the support plate 7, which greatly reduces rotational resistance, resulting in a low load on motor 10 and smooth rotation.
[0030] Facilitating transportation, installation, and maintenance: The support plate 7 and the first support rod 8, the motor output shaft and the first connecting sleeve 12, the second support rod 2 and the rotating plate 5, and the photovoltaic panel 3 and the hinge rod 1 are all connected by detachable means. This modular design allows the entire bracket to be disassembled into multiple parts, greatly facilitating packaging, transportation, on-site installation, and subsequent replacement and maintenance of specific components.
[0031] Flexible adjustment: The photovoltaic panel 3 is rotatably connected to the second support rod 2 through the hinge rod 1, which provides a basis for adjusting the pitch angle of the photovoltaic panel 3. Combined with the horizontal rotation function of this technical solution, the angle of the photovoltaic panel 3 can be adjusted in all directions to track the sun's trajectory and effectively improve power generation efficiency.
[0032] In another technical solution, such as Figure 2 As shown, in the photovoltaic equipment mounting bracket, a limiting collar 11 is fitted on the outside of the first connecting sleeve 12 through a threaded structure. The limiting collar 11 and the first connecting sleeve 12 are provided with first locking holes at corresponding positions on the side wall. A first locking rod 22 is inserted into the first locking hole. The limiting collar 11 is located below the support plate 7 and is slidably tangential to the support plate 7.
[0033] This technical solution adds a key safety locking mechanism to prevent the first connecting sleeve 12 from detaching from the output shaft of the motor 10. Specifically, an external thread is machined on the outer circumferential surface of the first connecting sleeve 12. An annular limiting collar 11 is screwed onto the first connecting sleeve 12 through its internal thread. A first locking hole is provided at a corresponding position on the side wall of the limiting collar 11 and the side wall of the first connecting sleeve 12. When the limiting collar 11 rotates to a position close to the lower surface of the support plate 7, the two first locking holes are aligned, and the first locking rod 22 is inserted into the hole, thereby fastening the limiting collar 11 and the first connecting sleeve 12 into a whole. After installation, the limiting collar 11 is located below the support plate 7, and its upper part slides in contact with the lower surface of the support plate 7.
[0034] The mechanism works by providing a mechanical safety measure. The tightened limiting collar 11 is pressed tightly against the underside of the support plate 7, forming a physical barrier. If the connection between the motor 10's output shaft and the first connecting sleeve 12 tends to loosen (e.g., under vibration or strong winds), and the first connecting sleeve 12 tends to move upwards, the limiting collar 11 will be immediately blocked by the support plate 7. This effectively prevents the first connecting sleeve 12 from causing the entire rotating plate 5 to detach upwards from the motor's output shaft, avoiding the risk of structural failure. The first locking rod 22 ensures that the limiting collar 11 itself will not loosen on the threads, guaranteeing the reliability of the lock.
[0035] This solution, through a mechanical anti-detachment mechanism consisting of a limiting collar 11 and a first locking rod 22, greatly improves the reliability and safety of the support system. It effectively prevents accidental disengagement of the drive connection parts under harsh operating conditions, ensuring the continuity of power transmission and the stability of the overall structure, thus providing crucial protection for the long-term safe operation of the photovoltaic support system.
[0036] In another technical solution, such as Figure 2 As shown, in the photovoltaic equipment mounting bracket, the support plate 7 is provided with a plurality of grooves corresponding to the upper surface of the limiting collar 11, and the grooves are provided with rolling balls 21 that can roll on the upper surface of the limiting collar 11.
[0037] In this design, multiple circular grooves are machined on the lower surface of the support plate 7, corresponding to the movement trajectory of the upper surface of the limiting collar 11. Each groove contains a freely rolling ball 21. Part of the ball 21 protrudes outside the groove, thereby allowing the upper surface of the limiting collar 11 to be supported on these balls 21.
[0038] The core principle of this design is to transform the sliding friction between the limiting collar 11 and the lower surface of the support plate 7 into rolling friction. When the motor 10 drives the first connecting sleeve 12 and the limiting collar 11 locked to it to rotate together, the upper surface of the limiting collar 11 contacts the ball 21 and drives it to roll. This design significantly reduces the frictional resistance during rotation, allowing the limiting collar 11 to effectively fulfill its core function of preventing the first connecting sleeve 12 from disengaging, while also rotating smoothly relative to the support plate 7.
[0039] The introduction of ball bearing 21 greatly reduces the friction and wear between the limiting collar 11 and the support plate 7. This not only reduces the load and energy consumption when the motor 10 drives the overall structure to rotate, making the rotation smoother, but also reduces the wear on the contact surface, improving the durability and long-term reliability of the limiting and anti-detachment mechanism itself.
[0040] In another technical solution, such as Figure 2 As shown, in the photovoltaic equipment mounting bracket, the inner wall of the first connecting sleeve 12 is provided with a pair of limiting grooves 19, and the output shaft of the motor 10 is provided with a pair of sliders 20, which are inserted into their corresponding limiting grooves 19.
[0041] In this design, a pair of axially extending limiting grooves 19 are machined on the inner wall of the first connecting sleeve 12. Correspondingly, a pair of sliders 20 that match the shape and position of the limiting grooves 19 are fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor 10. When the output shaft of the motor is inserted into the first connecting sleeve 12, the sliders 20 on the output shaft will be precisely inserted into and fitted into the corresponding limiting grooves 19.
[0042] This design uses the engagement of the slider 20 and the limiting groove 19 to lock the motor output shaft and the first connecting sleeve 12 in the circumferential direction, preventing relative rotation between them. This ensures that the torque generated by the motor is transmitted to the first connecting sleeve 12 without loss and synchronously, effectively preventing slippage and free rotation that may occur when relying solely on friction for transmission. This significantly improves the reliability and efficiency of power transmission. Simultaneously, the structure allows for relative sliding in the axial direction, making the output shaft easy to insert and remove, thus balancing transmission reliability with the convenience of disassembly and maintenance.
[0043] In another technical solution, such as Figure 1 As shown, in the photovoltaic equipment mounting bracket, the first support rod 8 is provided with a slot at its top, and the support plate 7 is provided with a corresponding insertion rod 14 at its bottom. The insertion rod 14 is inserted into its corresponding slot. The side wall of the slot and the corresponding position of the insertion rod 14 are provided with second locking holes, and a second locking rod 13 is provided in the second locking holes.
[0044] Each of the pair of first support rods 8 has a vertical slot at its top. Correspondingly, a corresponding insertion rod 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support plate 7, with the number and position corresponding to the slots. During installation, the insertion rod 14 at the bottom of the support plate 7 is aligned and inserted into the slot at the top of its corresponding first support rod 8. To ensure a secure and non-loose connection, a second locking hole is provided on the side wall of the slot and at the corresponding position of the inserted insertion rod 14. After the insertion rod 14 is inserted into place, the second locking rod 13 is inserted and passes through the aligned second locking holes, thereby firmly locking the support plate 7 onto the first support rods 8. The second locking holes and the second locking rod 13 can be matching threaded holes or screws.
[0045] This design achieves initial positioning and support through the engagement of the insertion rod 14 and the slot, followed by final tightening through the second locking rod 13. This connection method is simple in structure and very convenient to assemble and disassemble. Installation is completed simply by inserting the insertion rod 14 and locking the second locking rod 13; disassembly is achieved by reversing the operation, greatly facilitating the transportation of the bracket and on-site construction. Simultaneously, the insertion fit provides excellent shear and torsional resistance, while the second locking rod 13 ensures that the connection will not loosen under vibration, jointly guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the support plate 7 and even the entire upper structure.
[0046] In another technical solution, such as Figure 1 As shown, in the photovoltaic equipment mounting bracket, the bottom of the second support rod 2 is provided with a connecting plate 4, the bottom of the connecting plate 4 is provided with a connecting rod 6, the rotating plate 5 is provided with a connecting hole corresponding to the connecting rod 6, the connecting rod 6 is inserted into its corresponding connecting hole and a locking member is sleeved on the bottom of the rotating plate 5.
[0047] In this design, a connecting plate 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom of each pair of second support rods 2. A connecting rod 6 is vertically fixed at the bottom center of each connecting plate 4. Correspondingly, connecting holes corresponding to the number and position of the connecting rods 6 are provided on the rotating plate 5. During installation, the connecting rods 6 are aligned and inserted into the corresponding connecting holes on the rotating plate 5. To achieve a tight connection and prevent loosening, an external thread is machined on the end section of the connecting rod 6 extending out of the lower surface of the rotating plate 5, and a locking element (such as a nut) is screwed on. By tightening the locking element, it is made to fit tightly against the lower surface of the rotating plate 5, thereby firmly locking the second support rod 2 onto the rotating plate 5.
[0048] This solution achieves initial positioning and support through the insertion and connection of the connecting rod 6 with the connecting hole, followed by mechanical fastening from the bottom using threaded locking components. This connection method is simple and reliable, and extremely convenient for assembly and disassembly: during installation, simply insert the connecting rod 6 and tighten the nut; during disassembly, simply loosen the nut to lift and separate the entire second support rod 2 and the upper structure. This greatly facilitates the fixing of the photovoltaic panel 3 after angle adjustment, as well as the transportation, on-site installation, and subsequent maintenance of the entire support structure. Simultaneously, the locking components provide strong locking force, effectively preventing the second support rod 2 from loosening under vibration, ensuring the stability and reliability of the photovoltaic panel support mechanism during operation.
[0049] In another technical solution, such as Figure 1 As shown, in the photovoltaic equipment mounting bracket, each of the two opposing sides of the second support rod 2 is provided with a hinge hole, and both ends of the hinge rod 1 are rotatably inserted into the hinge hole.
[0050] In this design, a coaxial hinge hole is provided on each of the opposite sides (i.e., the facing inner sides) of a pair of second support rods 2. The two ends of the hinge rod 1 are directly inserted into and supported in the pair of hinge holes, so that the hinge rod 1 can rotate freely between the pair of second support rods 2 with its own axis as the pivot.
[0051] This design has an extremely simple structure. The hinge rod 1 rotates relative to the second support rod 2 simply by engaging with the hinge holes at both ends. This provides the photovoltaic panel 3 mounted on it with the freedom to adjust its pitch angle, forming the basis of the entire angle adjustment mechanism. It boasts advantages such as simple structure, reliability, and low frictional resistance.
[0052] In another technical solution, such as Figure 1 As shown, in the photovoltaic equipment mounting bracket, the top of the photovoltaic panel 3 is provided with a hinge tube 17, the hinge tube 17 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the hinge rod 1, and the side wall of the hinge tube 17 and the hinge rod 1 are provided with a third locking hole at the corresponding position, and a third locking rod 18 is inserted into the third locking hole.
[0053] This design includes one or more hinge tubes 17 fixedly mounted on the back of the photovoltaic panel 3. The inner diameter of the hinge tube 17 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the hinge rod 1, allowing it to be directly fitted onto the outer circumference of the hinge rod 1. The hinge tube 17 can rotate and slide freely relative to the hinge rod 1. A third locking hole is provided on the side wall of the hinge tube 17 and on the corresponding segment of the hinge rod 1. After the hinge tube 17 on the back of the photovoltaic panel 3 is fitted onto the hinge rod 1, the hinge tube 17 is slid or rotated along the hinge rod 1 to align the third locking holes. Then, the third locking rod 18 is inserted and passes through the aligned third locking holes, allowing the photovoltaic panel 3 to be quickly installed and fixed onto the hinge rod 1. For disassembly, simply pull out the third locking rod 18 to slide the hinge tube 17 off the hinge rod 1, achieving quick disassembly of the photovoltaic panel 3. The third locking holes and the third locking rod 18 can be matching threaded holes or screws.
[0054] The core of this solution lies in enabling rapid assembly and disassembly of the photovoltaic panel 3 and the support structure. The angle of the photovoltaic panel 3 is adjusted by rotating the hinge rod 1 as a whole. The hinge tube 17 and the hinge rod 1 are designed to rotate and slide relative to each other, and are locked together using a third locking rod 18. This allows the photovoltaic panel 3 to be fixed simply by fitting the hinge tube 17 onto the hinge rod 1 and aligning it with the third locking hole during installation; disassembly is equally simple. This design greatly facilitates the individual transportation, installation, and subsequent maintenance or replacement of the photovoltaic panel 3, improving the deployment efficiency and maintainability of the entire photovoltaic system.
[0055] In another technical solution, such as Figure 1 As shown, in the photovoltaic equipment mounting bracket, an electric telescopic rod 16 is provided on the rotating plate 5, and the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 16 is slidably tangent to the back of the photovoltaic panel 3.
[0056] In this design, an electric telescopic rod 16 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the rotating plate 5. The telescopic end (push rod end) of the electric telescopic rod 16 slides against the back of the photovoltaic panel 3, i.e., the two are in sliding tangential contact.
[0057] This solution automatically controls the pitch angle of the photovoltaic panel 3 by extending and retracting the electric telescopic rod 16. When the electric telescopic rod 16 extends, its telescopic end pushes the back of the photovoltaic panel 3, causing the photovoltaic panel 3 and the hinge rod 1 to rotate together around the axis of the hinge rod 1, thus reducing the pitch angle. When the electric telescopic rod 16 retracts, the photovoltaic panel 3 rotates in the opposite direction under the action of gravity, thus increasing the pitch angle. The sliding contact between the telescopic end and the back of the photovoltaic panel 3 allows both to maintain effective contact and force transmission at any angle. Angle adjustment is convenient.
[0058] The motor 10 and the electric telescopic rod 16 in this solution can be driven by an independent power supply system. The power supply system includes a photovoltaic panel 3, a storage battery, and a solar controller electrically connected to the photovoltaic panel 3 and the storage battery for the entire bracket. The output end of the solar controller is electrically connected to the motor 10 and the electric telescopic rod 16 and provides a stable DC power supply for them. The solar controller also receives signals from the sun-tracking sensor or built-in control program to control the operation of the motor 10 and the electric telescopic rod 16.

[0060] Although the embodiments of the present utility model have been disclosed as above, it is not limited to only the applications listed in the description and embodiments. It can be fully applied to various fields suitable for the present utility model. For those familiar with the field, additional modifications can be easily achieved. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and the equivalent scope, the present utility model is not limited to specific details and the illustrated and described examples here.
