It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0043] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0044] This embodiment provides a photovoltaic fence for oil and gas pipeline stations. While defining the space and providing security isolation inside the station, it can also utilize local solar energy resources to power the electrical control equipment in the valve chambers of the station, thereby saving operating costs.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the photovoltaic fence includes an installation foundation 1, a fence body 2, and photovoltaic modules 3. The installation foundation 1 is fixed to the ground. The fence body 2 includes a support frame 21, a first panel 22, a second panel 23, and two prefabricated columns 24. The two prefabricated columns 24 are horizontally spaced on the installation foundation 1. The support frame 21 is fixed to the installation foundation 1 and located between the two prefabricated columns 24. The first panel 22 and the second panel 23 are stacked on both sides of the support frame 21 in a corresponding manner. The modular modules can be installed by hoisting and on-site assembly, which speeds up the installation process, significantly improves construction efficiency, and shortens the construction period. The photovoltaic module 3 includes a photovoltaic panel 31, which is rotatably mounted on the outside of the fence body 2. The photovoltaic panel 31 has a closed state and an open state. In the closed state, the photovoltaic panel 31 is stacked on the outside of the fence body 2; in the open state, the photovoltaic panel 31 is set at an angle to the fence body 2. When there is sufficient sunlight and the environment is suitable, the photovoltaic panel 31 is turned on to maximize the use of solar energy resources and improve the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel 31. The electricity generated by the photovoltaic panel 31 is used for the electrical control equipment in the valve room of the station, thereby reducing the operating cost of the valve room. When there is rain, snow or strong wind, the photovoltaic panel 31 is turned off and attached to the main body of the wall 2 to reduce the damage of severe weather to the photovoltaic panel 31.

[0046] Specifically, the photovoltaic panel 31 is a monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic panel 31. The monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic panel 31 has extremely high photoelectric conversion efficiency and a long service life, and requires less space for installation, resulting in lower system costs.

[0047] Optionally, the support frame 21 includes multiple vertical keels 211 and multiple through keels 212. The multiple vertical keels 211 are horizontally spaced on the installation foundation 1. The first panel 22 and the second panel 23 are stacked on both sides of the vertical keels 211 in a corresponding manner. The multiple through keels 212 are vertically spaced, each extending horizontally and passing through the multiple vertical keels 211. The two ends of the through keels 212 are connected to two prefabricated columns 24 in a corresponding manner. In this configuration, the vertical keels 211 mainly bear the vertical load, and the through keels 212 pass through the multiple vertical keels 211, tightly connecting the multiple vertical keels 211 into a whole, and together with the vertical keels 211, they form the support frame 21, which has high overall rigidity and stability, providing a solid installation base for the panel.

[0048] Specifically, the through-core keel 212 is a C-shaped steel keel, and the vertical keel 211 is a vertical C-shaped steel, possessing excellent strength and stability. The connection between the vertical keel 211 and the through-core keel 212 is secured by through bolts for bidirectional locking, which is simple and convenient to operate and ensures a firm connection. For example, in this embodiment, the spacing between two adjacent vertical keels 211 is 600mm.

[0049] Furthermore, multiple first connectors 221 are provided between the first plate 22 and the vertical keel 211, and multiple second connectors 231 are provided between the second plate 23 and the vertical keel 211 to achieve a fixed connection between the plate and the vertical keel 211. Specifically, in this embodiment, both the first connectors 221 and the second connectors 231 are Z-shaped pieces. The Z-shaped pieces are fixed to the plate with self-tapping screws and to the vertical keel 211 with stainless steel anchors. The Z-shaped pieces have good bending resistance and are easy to overlap, which can effectively improve the connection rigidity between the plate and the vertical keel 211.

[0050] Specifically, both the first plate 22 and the second plate 23 are hollow extruded cement panels (ECP panels). ECP panels are formed by using an extrusion process to compact a fiber cement mixture under high pressure, causing the fibers to be oriented and arranged in the board, resulting in a highly dense and homogeneous structure with high bending strength and toughness, and is not easily broken or damaged. For example, in this embodiment, both the first plate 22 and the second plate 23 are composed of multiple segmented plates spliced ​​together.

[0051] Optionally, the installation foundation 1 has a limiting groove for accommodating and limiting the precast column 24. The sidewall of the limiting groove abuts against the sidewall of the precast column 24 circumferentially, enhancing the stability and lateral force resistance of the precast column 24. Furthermore, during installation, the precast column 24 can be simply hoisted into the limiting groove, eliminating the need for tedious measurements and fine-tuning to ensure its verticality and planar position, significantly improving construction efficiency.

[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment, the precast column 24 has a rectangular cross-section with dimensions of 400mm × 400mm and a strength grade of C40. It has a vertically reserved through-hole with a diameter of 80mm. The center of the through-hole is 150mm from the column edge. Horizontal openings, each 80mm × 80mm, are reserved at elevations of 1.2m and 2.4m to allow the through-beam 212 to pass through. Correspondingly, the limiting groove on the installation foundation 1 has dimensions of 400mm × 400mm × 50mm.

[0053] Optionally, the photovoltaic fence also includes a prefabricated capping beam 5, which is fastened to the upper end of the fence body 2 to improve the integrity and stability of the fence body 2. At the same time, the prefabricated capping beam 5 covers the upper surface of the fence body 2, which can prevent rainwater from penetrating into the interior of the fence body 2 along the gap between the support frame 21 and the panel, avoid rainwater corrosion of the support frame 21, and thus extend the service life of the fence body 2.

[0054] Furthermore, the photovoltaic fence also includes a protective net 6, which is installed on the prefabricated capping beam 5 and serves as the enclosure and security measure for the site. Specifically, the protective net 6 is fixed to the prefabricated capping beam 5 with bolts. For example, the protective net 6 is a PVC-coated steel wire protective net 6.

[0055] Optionally, the photovoltaic module 3 also includes a hydraulic rod 32, one end of which is rotatably mounted on the photovoltaic panel 31, and the other end is rotatably mounted on the main body of the enclosure 2. The length of the hydraulic rod 32 is adjustable. This configuration allows for flexible adjustment of the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel 31 according to the on-site sunlight conditions, thereby improving power generation efficiency. Simultaneously, the hydraulic rod 32 itself possesses strong resistance to high and low temperatures, dustproof and moisture-proof characteristics, and is relatively simple to maintain, with a long service life.

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, the photovoltaic panel 31 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 21. When the photovoltaic panel 31 is in the off state, the photovoltaic panel 31 is coplanar with the second plate 23, that is, the photovoltaic panel 31 is in close contact with the support frame 21, so as to minimize the damage to the photovoltaic panel 31 caused by severe weather such as rain, snow and strong winds.

[0057] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the photovoltaic panel 31 may be rotatably disposed on the outside of the first plate 22 or the second plate 23. When the photovoltaic panel 31 is in the off state, the photovoltaic panel 31 is in close contact with the first plate 22 or the second plate 23.

[0058] Furthermore, the photovoltaic fence also includes a control component (not shown in the figure), which includes a control cabinet connected to the hydraulic rod 32 and capable of adjusting the length and tilt angle of the hydraulic rod 32. A wind power composite sensor 4 is installed at the upper end of the prefabricated column 24. The wind power composite sensor 4 is used to measure light intensity and wind speed and is connected to the control cabinet. After receiving the light intensity and wind speed measured by the wind power composite sensor 4, the control cabinet, in conjunction with its own control logic, adjusts the length and tilt angle of the hydraulic rod 32, thereby adjusting the state switching or tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel 31.

[0059] Specifically, when the light intensity is greater than 500 Lux, the photovoltaic panel 31 is adjusted to the optimal tilt angle. This optimal tilt angle needs to be calculated and determined based on the latitude and longitude of the location of the photovoltaic fence, and is not specifically limited here. When the wind speed is greater than 12 m / s or the light intensity is less than 300 Lux, the hydraulic rod 32 retracts, and the photovoltaic panel 31 is adjusted to the closed state to prevent damage to the photovoltaic panel 31. The aforementioned wind power composite sensor 4 is a conventional existing structure, and its specific structure and principle refer to existing technology, which will not be elaborated here.

[0060] Furthermore, the control components also include a battery cabinet connected to the photovoltaic panel 31 to store the electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic panel 31. The battery cabinet is connected to the electrical control equipment in the valve chamber within the station, providing power to the equipment. This configuration ensures a continuous power supply to the electrical control equipment in the valve chamber, even in the absence of sunlight or under weak sunlight conditions, guaranteeing the stable operation of the valve chamber.

[0061] Specifically, the control components also include RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) cabinets. The RTU cabinets are responsible for transmitting the collected data to a host computer or cloud server for remote monitoring and analysis by management personnel, so as to realize online monitoring and control of process parameters.

[0062] It should be noted that the hydraulic rod 32, control cabinet, battery cabinet and RTU cabinet mentioned above are all existing conventional structures. Their specific structures and principles refer to existing technologies and will not be elaborated here.

[0063] In addition, the cables of the photovoltaic module 3 are laid in a concealed manner. The wiring of the photovoltaic panel 31 is passed through the through-core keel 212 and laid horizontally in the internal cavity of the through-core keel 212. It is fixed with flame-retardant cable ties every 600mm. Then, it enters the vertical reserved hole of the prefabricated column 24 through the horizontal opening of the prefabricated column 24. The cable guide stainless steel bracket is installed in the vertical hole. Then, it is introduced into the ground cable trench and finally connected to the battery cabinet to supply power to the electrical control equipment in the valve room.

[0064] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
