At the same time, the device adopts a modular design concept, standardizing and integrating functional units such as power management, signal relay, and data transmission. It can be flexibly combined and deployed according to actual communication coverage needs, and is suitable for remote areas, outdoor projects, or emergency scenarios. It fills the gaps in basic communication network coverage, realizes long-distance signal forwarding and stable transmission, and features energy saving, environmental protection, convenient deployment, and strong scalability. It is a typical application device for the integration of new energy and communication technologies.
[0003] In practical applications, to avoid ground obstacles such as weeds, low shrubs, and piles of debris blocking sunlight, reduce shadow interference, ensure that photovoltaic panels can receive solar radiation to the maximum extent, maintain stable power generation efficiency, and reduce human collisions or damage to photovoltaic panels, the installation height of photovoltaic panels is set to two to three meters. However, when the installation height of photovoltaic panels is two to three meters, when maintenance is needed, ladders are used, and personnel must climb the ladders to the corresponding height to carry out maintenance and replacement operations. When maintenance personnel are performing maintenance and replacement operations, their hands will not be able to grip the ladder, which increases the risk of imbalance. To address this issue, a modular communication relay station for photovoltaic panel arrays is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0030] 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.
[0031] Reference Figures 1-2This utility model provides an embodiment of a modular communication relay station for a photovoltaic panel array, including a mounting plate 5. A support column 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 5, and a disassembly mechanism 2 is provided on the outer wall of the support column 1. The disassembly mechanism 2 enables quick disassembly and installation of the photovoltaic panel. The support column 1 and the photovoltaic panel form a communication relay station. This relay station is equipped with a dedicated communication module, which integrates a wireless radio frequency chip, a microprocessor, and related communication protocol stacks. The electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic panel array is regulated and rectified by the power management module to provide stable power support for the communication module, ensuring the continuous operation of the communication module. In terms of wireless communication, the communication module adopts advanced wireless communication technology. When signal relay is required, the communication module of the relay station receives wireless signals from one end through the wireless radio frequency chip. The microprocessor decodes, amplifies, and re-encodes the received signals, and then sends the processed signals out through the wireless radio frequency chip to the other end device or other relay station, thereby realizing long-distance signal forwarding.
[0032] Reference Figures 1-2 The disassembly mechanism 2 includes a movable sleeve 201 slidably connected to the outer wall of the support column 1. The movable sleeve 201 can move vertically. An elastic telescopic rod 202 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable sleeve 201. The elastic telescopic rod 202 is a rod device that combines elastic material and telescopic structure. Its core feature is that it has adjustable length extension and telescopic capacity and elastic buffer performance. This is existing technology and will not be explained in detail here. A connecting plate 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the movable sleeve 201. A holding member is provided on the outer wall of the connecting plate 203. The holding member facilitates the control of the connecting plate 203 and its movable sleeve. 201 moves vertically. The inner wall of the connecting plate 203 contacts the limit bolt 205. The support column 1 has a screw hole 206 on the side facing the handle 204. Multiple sets of limit bolts 205 and screw holes 206 are provided. The bottom inner wall of the connecting plate 203 is provided with a positioning mechanism 4. The positioning mechanism 4 can pre-position the movable sleeve 201 when needed, so as to facilitate manual tightening of the limit bolt 205. The outer wall of the movable sleeve 201 is fixedly connected to the photovoltaic panel bracket 3. The movement of the movable sleeve 201 drives the photovoltaic panel bracket 3 to move synchronously, thereby achieving the purpose of convenient disassembly.
[0033] Reference Figures 1-3The holding component includes a handle 204 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate 203. Multiple sets of handles 204 are provided, which facilitates manual control of the vertical movement of the connecting plate 203. The limiting bolt 205 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the screw hole 206 on the side facing the support column 1. The threaded connection between the two can limit and fix the movable sleeve 201. The bottom end of the elastic telescopic rod 202 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 5. The two fix the bottom fixed end of the elastic telescopic rod 202. The longitudinal section of the movable sleeve 201 is set as an inverted T-shape. The inverted T-shape allows multiple sets of connecting plates 203 to be installed and fixed at the bottom of the movable sleeve 201. The cross section of the support column 1 is set as an ellipse. The ellipse shape prevents the movable sleeve 201 from rotating when it moves vertically.
[0034] Reference Figures 2-4 The positioning mechanism 4 includes a connecting spring 403. One end of the connecting spring 403 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the connecting plate 203, and the other end of the connecting spring 403 is fixedly connected to a moving plate 404. The elasticity of the connecting spring 403 enables the moving plate 404 to have limiting and resetting functions. A limiting post 401 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the moving plate 404, and the two move along the same trajectory. A connecting groove 402 is opened on the side of the support column 1 facing the connecting plate 203. The limiting post 401 is inserted into the inner wall of the connecting groove 402 on the side facing the support column 1. The two are inserted to pre-position the connecting plate 203, so that the connecting plate 203 can be pre-positioned without manual support. The photovoltaic panel is disassembled and installed. There are two sets of connecting grooves 402. The upper connecting groove 402 can pre-position the installed photovoltaic panel and movable sleeve 201. The lower connecting groove 402 pre-positions the photovoltaic panel and movable sleeve 201 during disassembly. The outer wall of the moving plate 404 is slidably connected to the bottom inner wall of the connecting plate 203. The outer wall of the limiting post 401 is through and slidably connected to the bottom inner wall of the connecting plate 203. The through-hole setting of the limiting post 401 makes it easy for the limiting post 401 to be moved outward by hand, thereby releasing its pre-positioning function. The longitudinal section of the moving plate 404 is elliptical. The elliptical setting prevents rotation during movement.
[0035] Working principle: When it is necessary to disassemble or install the photovoltaic panel, the operator first tightens the limiting bolt 205 to release the limiting bolt 205 from the connecting plate 203. Then, the limiting post 401 is moved outward to release the pre-positioning of the connecting plate 203. Then, by holding the handle 204 on the outer wall of the connecting plate 203, the movable sleeve 201 is controlled to move vertically along the outer wall of the support column 1. The elastic telescopic rod 202 at the bottom of the movable sleeve 201 extends and retracts with it and provides elastic support. When the movable sleeve 201 moves down to a certain position, the connecting spring 403 pushes the moving plate 404 to insert the limiting post 401 into the connecting groove 402 at the bottom of the support column 1, thereby achieving the pre-positioning of the movable sleeve 201. The photovoltaic panel can be disassembled and installed without manual lifting.
[0036] After disassembly and installation are completed, push the connecting plate 203 upward, and then screw the limiting bolt 205 into the screw hole 206 at the corresponding position of the support column 1 to complete the fixation of the movable sleeve 201. The photovoltaic panel bracket 3 on the outer wall of the movable sleeve 201 moves synchronously with the movable sleeve 201, thereby achieving the purpose of quickly adjusting the position of the photovoltaic panel for disassembly and installation. The overall operation is simple and convenient.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
