Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wind power generation technology, specifically a small wind turbine mounting bracket that is easy to install on a home roof. Background Technology

[0002] When installing small wind turbines on a horizontal roof, bolts are typically used to fix the base plate to the roof. However, on a sloping roof, a flat base plate cannot be installed, usually requiring a special mounting bracket. Through-tile bolts are used to penetrate the tiles and fix the bracket to the concrete layer or wooden frame of the roof. Although this method allows small wind turbines to be installed on sloping roofs, the through-tile installation method can easily lead to tile breakage and damage to the original waterproofing of the roof. Although waterproof coatings are used to seal the roof after installation to maintain its waterproofing effect, the risk of leakage is relatively high in the long term, and frequent maintenance is also required. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a small wind turbine mounting bracket that is easy to install on a home roof. By setting a mounting base plate that can rotate, when installing on a sloping roof, the wind turbine can be installed on the side wall of the house instead of on the roof tiles. This avoids tile breakage and damage to the roof waterproofing during installation, reduces maintenance and lowers maintenance difficulty in the long term, and solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] Technical solution

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a small wind turbine mounting bracket that is easy to install on a home roof, including a mounting base plate and a support rod for supporting the wind turbine. A secondary support rod that can rotate at the bottom of the support rod is fixedly connected above the mounting base plate. The secondary support rod can be fixed in both vertical and horizontal states.

[0006] Furthermore, a connecting sleeve is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support rod, and a connecting head that can be threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve is slidably connected to the outer side of the auxiliary support rod.

[0007] Furthermore, a limit ring is installed on the inner side of the connector. When the connector is tightened on the outside of the connecting sleeve, the limit ring contacts the bottom of the connecting sleeve.

[0008] Furthermore, the inner arc surface at the bottom of the connector and the inner arc surface of the limiting ring contact the outer wall of the auxiliary support rod.

[0009] Furthermore, a rotatable connecting rod is installed on the outside of the connecting sleeve, and a connecting seat is installed on the upper surface of the mounting base plate. When the auxiliary support rod is in a horizontal state, the movable end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the connecting seat by fastening bolts.

[0010] Furthermore, a retainer for fixing the connecting rod is installed on the outer side of the connecting sleeve below the connecting rod. A rubber protrusion is provided on the inner side of the retainer. After the connecting rod rotates to the inner side of the retainer, the rubber protrusion and the connecting rod are in close contact.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] By installing a secondary support rod on the mounting base plate, the secondary support rod can drive the mounting base plate to rotate. When installing on a horizontal roof, the secondary support rod and the support rod can be aligned and fixed. At this time, the mounting base plate can be installed on the roof in a horizontal state. When installing on a sloping roof, the angle of the secondary support rod and the mounting base plate can be rotated to install the wind turbine on the side wall of the house, instead of installing it on the roof tiles. This avoids the situation of tile breakage and damage to the roof waterproofing during the installation of the bracket. In the long term, it not only has a low risk of water leakage, but also reduces maintenance and lowers the difficulty of maintenance. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] See Figures 1-5 A small wind turbine mounting bracket for easy installation on a home roof includes a mounting base plate 1 and a support rod 2 for supporting the wind turbine. A secondary support rod 3 that can rotate at the bottom of the support rod 2 is fixedly connected above the mounting base plate 1. The secondary support rod 3 can be fixed in both vertical and horizontal states.

[0021] In this solution: When installing small wind turbines on existing residential rooftops, the base plate is usually fixed to the roof with bolts on horizontal roofs. However, when installing on sloping roofs, the flat base plate cannot be installed. Usually, a special mounting bracket is required, which uses through-tile bolts to penetrate the tiles and fix them to the concrete layer or wooden joists of the roof. Although this method can install small wind turbines on sloping roofs, the installation method of penetrating the tiles is prone to tile breakage and will also damage the original waterproofing of the roof. Although waterproof coatings are used to seal the roof after installation to maintain its waterproofing effect, there is a greater risk of leakage in the long term and frequent maintenance is also required.

[0022] With the addition of a secondary support rod 3 that can be placed vertically and horizontally, and a mounting base plate 1, when installing on a flat roof, the secondary support rod 3 and the support rod 2 can be aligned and fixed, and then the mounting base plate 1 can be directly installed on the roof using expansion bolts. When installing on a sloping roof, the secondary support rod 3 can be rotated 90 degrees and fixed, and the mounting base plate 1 can be installed on the side wall of the roof instead of installing the mounting base plate 1 on the roof itself. This avoids the previous method of using mounting brackets and bolts to fix the tiles to the roof concrete or wooden joists, thus preventing damage to the tiles and the waterproofing of the roof. In daily use, the risk of leakage is low, it does not require frequent maintenance, and the maintenance difficulty is low. There is no need to distinguish between bracket types during installation, making it suitable for installation on roofs of different shapes.

[0023] The bottom of the support rod 2 is fixedly connected to the connecting sleeve 4, and the outer side of the auxiliary support rod 3 is slidably connected to the connecting head 5, which can be threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve.

[0024] In this embodiment: when installing a wind turbine on a horizontal roof, the connector 5 can be rotated and tightened onto the connecting sleeve 4 at the bottom of the support rod 2, so that the secondary support rod 3 and the support rod 2 are aligned and the positions of the secondary support rod 3 and the support rod 2 are kept stable. Of course, the connector 5 and the connecting sleeve 4 can also be connected by other connection methods such as bolts, as long as the secondary support rod 3 and the support rod 2 can be stably aligned.

[0025] A limiting ring 6 is installed on the inner side of the connector 5. When the connector 5 is tightened on the outside of the connecting sleeve 4, the limiting ring 6 and the bottom of the connecting sleeve 4 come into contact.

[0026] In this embodiment: during the process of the connector 5 being rotated and tightened onto the connecting sleeve 4, the limiting ring 6 can limit the connection position of the connector 5 on the connecting sleeve 4. After the connector 5 is fully tightened onto the connecting sleeve 4, the connector 5 can no longer rotate. At this time, there is still a certain connection distance between the bottom of the connector 5 and the secondary support rod 3. The bottom of the connector 5 can be stably supported on the secondary support rod 3. If the bottom of the connector 5 is too close to the top of the secondary support rod 3, the pressure exerted by the support rod 2 on the connecting sleeve 4 and the connector 5 on the secondary support rod 3 will be greater. Similar to the lever principle, this increases the risk of deformation of the connector 5 or the secondary support rod 3. At this time, it is not conducive to maintaining the stability between the connector 5 and the secondary support rod 3.

[0027] The inner arc surface at the bottom of connector 5 and the inner arc surface of limit ring 6 contact the outer wall of secondary support rod 3.

[0028] In this embodiment, the connector 5 and the limiting ring 6 can be supported on the secondary support rod 3 and slide on the secondary support rod 3 respectively, thereby ensuring that two areas in the connector 5 can contact the secondary support rod 3, and thus making the connector 5 more stable in position when sliding on the secondary support rod 3.

[0029] A rotatable connecting rod 7 is installed on the outer side of the connecting sleeve 4, and a connecting seat 8 is installed on the upper surface of the mounting base plate 1. When the auxiliary support rod 3 is in a horizontal state, the movable end of the connecting rod 7 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 8 by fastening bolts.

[0030] In this embodiment: when installing the wind turbine onto a sloping roof, instead of installing the mounting base plate 1 directly onto the roof, the auxiliary support rod 3 and the mounting base plate 1 can be rotated. After rotation, the auxiliary support rod 3 and the mounting base plate 1 can face the side wall of the roof. When the auxiliary support rod 3 and the mounting base plate 1 rotate 90 degrees, the connecting rod 7 is rotated so that the movable end of the connecting rod 7 rotates to the inside of the connecting seat 8 and is tightened with bolts. At this time, the support rod 2 and the auxiliary support rod 3 bracket will remain in a vertical state. After leveling and fixing the mounting base plate 1 to the side wall, the auxiliary support rod 3 will support the support rod 2 in a horizontal state. After fixing the mounting base plate 1 to the side wall with expansion bolts, it should be noted that the expansion bolts will not penetrate the wall. To minimize the impact on wall waterproofing, after fixing the mounting base plate 1, sealant or sealant should be applied to the edges where the mounting base plate 1 contacts the wall. Additionally, sealant should be applied to the joints between the expansion bolts and the mounting base plate 1 (especially exposed surfaces) to further enhance the seal between the mounting base plate 1 and the wall. In fact, during rainy weather, the amount of rainwater flowing on the side wall is far less than that collected on the roof, resulting in less rainfall. Installing the mounting base plate on the side wall not only avoids damaging the roof tiles and waterproofing layer, reducing the risk of leaks, but also makes waterproofing the side wall easier than on a sloping roof, resulting in a better waterproof seal and easier maintenance later on.

[0031] A retainer 9 for fixing the connecting rod 7 is installed on the outer side of the connecting sleeve 4 below the connecting rod 7. A rubber protrusion 10 is provided on the inner side of the retainer 9. After the connecting rod 7 is rotated to the inner side of the retainer 9, the rubber protrusion 10 and the connecting rod 7 are in close contact.

[0032] In this embodiment: when the wind turbine is installed on a horizontal roof, the connecting rod 7 does not need to be fixedly connected to the mounting base plate 1. Therefore, the connecting rod 7 can be rotated into the mounting bracket 9 for fixing and storage. The rubber protrusion 10 can increase the pressure and friction of the connecting rod 7 in the mounting bracket 9, and maintain the stability of the connecting rod 7 in the mounting bracket 9.

[0033] It should be noted that in this paper, relational terms such as first and second are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
