[0027] This utility model embodiment provides a photovoltaic module overall hoisting frame, please refer to... Figures 1-4The photovoltaic module hoisting frame includes a support frame 10, a basic limiting component 20, and a reinforcing limiting component 30. The support frame 10 supports the photovoltaic module. The basic limiting component 20 is fixed to the opposite side of the support frame 10 and is used to limit the photovoltaic module in the Y-axis direction. The reinforcing limiting component 30 is detachably provided on the other opposite side of the support frame 10. It is used to place the photovoltaic module onto the support frame 10 after disassembly and to limit the placed photovoltaic module in the X-axis direction in the installed state. The support frame 10 also includes a lifting ring 150.

[0028] According to the photovoltaic module hoisting frame in the above embodiments, the reinforcing limiting component 30 is first removed from the supporting frame 10, and then a forklift is used to deliver the photovoltaic module onto the supporting frame 10. After a set of photovoltaic panels falls onto the supporting frame 10, the reinforcing limiting component 30 is then installed on the supporting frame 10, thereby limiting the photovoltaic module in the X-axis direction. Simultaneously, the basic limiting component 20 restricts the movement of the photovoltaic module in the Y-axis direction. When the crane lifts the photovoltaic module hoisting frame through the lifting ring 150, the cooperation of the basic limiting component 20 and the reinforcing limiting component 30 ensures that the photovoltaic module will not fall during the lifting process. Implementing the photovoltaic module hoisting frame of this invention achieves the goal of efficiently and safely transporting photovoltaic modules to the roof.

[0029] The X-axis and Y-axis are generally perpendicular, which helps prevent photovoltaic modules from slipping horizontally. In this application, in conjunction with the appendix... Figure 2 The X-axis represents the left-right direction, and the Y-axis represents the front-back direction.

[0030] In some specific embodiments, the basic limiting component 20 includes a crossbar 210, which is fixedly mounted on the support frame 10.

[0031] The function of the crossbar 210 is to prevent the photovoltaic module from sliding in the front-to-back direction, thereby providing a shield and preventing the photovoltaic module from falling off the support frame 10.

[0032] In some specific embodiments, the reinforcing limiting component 30 includes a slide bar 310 and a stop bar 320. The support frame 10 is provided with a mounting part 110. The stop bar 320 is detachably provided on the mounting part 110. The slide bar 310 is slidably connected to the support frame 10. The sliding slide bar 310 is used to change the distance between the slide bar 310 and the stop bar 320.

[0033] Because the photovoltaic (PV) module is horizontally positioned, removing the straps will cause it to tilt to the left or right. The cooperation between the stop bar 320 and the slide bar 310 acts as a clamp, preventing the PV module from falling over. Since the PV module consists of multiple photovoltaic panels, removing one panel for installation reduces the module's length along the X-axis. Moving the slide bar 310 allows it to re-engage with the PV module, thus preventing it from falling over.

[0034] In some specific embodiments, the reinforcing limiting component 30 also includes a rope 330, one end of which is connected to the support frame 10 and the other end of which is connected to the stop bar 320.

[0035] On the one hand, the rope 330 connects the stop bar 320 and the load-bearing frame 10, preventing the stop bar 320 from being lost. On the other hand, the rope 330 can also provide some support when the photovoltaic module tilts. The rope 330 can be a rope or a metal chain.

[0036] In some specific embodiments, one stop 320 corresponds to two ropes 330.

[0037] When the stop lever 320 fails to fall into the mounting section 110, a single rope 330 will cause the stop lever 320 to tilt and sway, which is detrimental to its stability. With two ropes 330, the stop lever 320 will remain balanced when it fails to fall into the mounting section 110, and with the cooperation of the column 130, the swaying amplitude of the stop lever 320 is very limited. This greatly improves the safety and ease of operation of the equipment.

[0038] In some specific embodiments, there is a stop bar 320 on each side of the support frame 10, and two slide bars 310 are provided in the middle of the support frame 10, with each slide bar 310 corresponding to a stop bar 320.

[0039] In this embodiment, two sets of photovoltaic modules can be placed on the supporting frame 10, thereby improving the carrying capacity of the photovoltaic module hoisting frame in this utility model.

[0040] In some specific embodiments, the mounting portion 110 is an upward-opening U-shaped groove, and the stop bar 320 can enter the U-shaped groove from the opening.

[0041] The mounting part 110 is constructed as an upward-opening U-shaped groove structure. The U-shaped groove is enclosed by a bottom wall and two opposing side walls. The side walls extend upward from the bottom wall and define an opening. The stop bar 320 can enter the U-shaped groove through this opening, thereby connecting with the mounting part 1102. The size of the U-shaped groove is designed to match the outer diameter of the stop bar 320 to ensure the stability of the stop bar 320 within the U-shaped groove and prevent it from shaking or falling off during operation. In addition, a guide part, such as a chamfer or rounded corner structure, can be provided at the opening of the U-shaped groove to facilitate the smooth entry of the stop bar 320 into the U-shaped groove and improve assembly efficiency. The mounting part 1102, the stop bar 320, and the guide part can be made of metal, plastic, or other materials with sufficient strength and rigidity to meet the load-bearing and usage requirements and ensure the reliability and durability of the structure.

[0042] In some specific embodiments, the slide bar 310 includes a hollow tube 3110 and a straight rod 3120, with the straight rod 3120 vertically connected to the hollow tube 3110, and the hollow tube 3110 passing through the support frame 10.

[0043] In this embodiment, the hollow tube 3110 is sleeved on the support frame 10, thereby enabling the slide rod 310 to slide relative to the support frame 10. The straight rod 3120 can abut against the photovoltaic module and cooperate with the stop rod 320 to clamp the photovoltaic module.

[0044] It should be noted that when the photovoltaic module falls over, the force exerted on the straight rod 3120 is obliquely downward. This results in the force on the hollow tube 3110 also being obliquely downward. This increases the friction between the hollow tube 3110 and the supporting frame 10, thereby overcoming the axial force on the supporting frame 10. In other words, when the photovoltaic module falls over the straight rod 3120, it will not push the sliding rod 310 to move on the supporting frame 10.

[0045] In some specific embodiments, the load-bearing frame 10 includes a load-bearing plate 120, columns 130 and crossbeams 140, with the columns 130 connected to the load-bearing plate 120 and the crossbeams 140 used to connect multiple columns 130.

[0046] Photovoltaic module hoisting frame (with Figure 2(For standard): The minimum size range for standard photovoltaic panels is 1500mm*1005.5mm, and the maximum is 2645mm*1695mm. Sufficient dimensions are required to ensure the safe loading and unloading of both standard and large-sized high-power photovoltaic panels. The design must accommodate this range of photovoltaic panels at the entrance / exit, with pre-set redundancy and space for personnel movement. The pre-set dimensions are approximately 2.7m long, 1.75m wide, and 1.5m high, with a 0.8m long sliding rod (31050). Additionally, the internal space of the hoisting cage is equipped with soft materials (made of high-elasticity resin cotton, memory resin cotton, or environmentally friendly polyester fiber resin cotton) to wrap and protect the photovoltaic panels in areas prone to collisions.

[0047] It should be noted that some crossbeams 140 are also positioned across the middle of the two crossbeams 140, which increases the overall strength of the photovoltaic module mounting frame. Furthermore, a sliding rod 310 can be mounted on this crossbeam 140. This mounted crossbeam 140 is preferably cylindrical, thus facilitating the movement of the sliding rod 310 along its axial direction.

[0048] The column 130 and the crossbeam 140 are connected by bolts, thereby enabling the rapid assembly of the entire photovoltaic module hoisting frame.

[0049] Standard photovoltaic panel weight: Gross weight of a single box of photovoltaic panels (including packaging) is 887 kg; total gross weight of two boxes is 1775 kg. The expected design load-bearing capacity of the hoisting cage must be greater than 1775 kg. To avoid the presence of particularly heavy photovoltaic panels, the expected load-bearing capacity must be designed with a certain redundancy.

[0050] The new hoist cage design should include a device to prevent photovoltaic panels from tipping over during loading, unloading, and transportation, without requiring manual maintenance. It features a high-strength T-shaped sliding bar 310 to right the photovoltaic panels during loading and unloading; the load-bearing capacity of the sliding bar 310 should exceed the total weight of a single photovoltaic panel box plus any redundancy. Furthermore, it anticipates the need for an additional device as a second line of defense in case the sliding bar 310 fails. This device is also constructed of high-strength steel, and the effects of acceleration must be considered. If the impact force exceeds the upper limit when the photovoltaic panels tip over, the device can be bent and deformed to mitigate the impact, minimizing damage to the cargo while maximizing personnel safety.

[0051] In some specific embodiments, a buffer layer is provided above the support plate 120.

[0052] The buffer layer is made of flexible materials (such as high-elasticity resin cotton, memory resin cotton, or environmentally friendly polyester fiber resin cotton) to wrap and protect the photovoltaic panels. In actual use, it can achieve the goal of transporting only the photovoltaic panels without having to transport additional packaging waste.

[0053] In some specific embodiments, a slider 40 is also included, which is disposed at the bottom of the support plate 120.

[0054] The sliding component 40 is used to enable the overall photovoltaic module hoisting frame to slide or move on the support surface (such as the ground, track or other support structure), thereby improving the flexibility and operability of the hoisting frame, facilitating rapid transfer and positioning between different locations, and thus improving the installation efficiency and construction convenience of the photovoltaic modules.

[0055] The slider 40 can be a wheel, a slider, etc.

[0056] In some specific embodiments, the crossbeam 140 is an I-beam.

[0057] I-beams, also known as steel beams or I-section steel, are long strips of steel with an I-shaped cross-section.

[0058] In some specific embodiments, the column 130 and the beam 140 are connected by bolts.

[0059] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0060] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
