Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, a photovoltaic rack for flexible photovoltaic cells according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a pair of mounting plates 1, each with mounting holes 2. A rack mechanism is provided on the top of the pair of mounting plates 1. The rack mechanism includes: a support assembly; a vertical plate 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plates 1; a T-shaped plate 4 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the vertical plate 3 via a first rotating shaft; a pair of support rods 5 are fixedly connected between the pair of T-shaped plates 4; a set of support plates 6 is rotatably connected between the opposite side walls of the pair of support rods 5 via a set of second rotating shafts; a set of fixing holes 7 is provided on the support plates 6; a first adjustment assembly for adjusting the angle of the T-shaped plates 4 is provided on the vertical plate 3; and a second adjustment assembly is provided between the opposite side walls of the pair of T-shaped plates 4 for adjusting the angle of the set of support plates 6.

[0025] During operation, the angle of a pair of T-shaped plates 4 can be adjusted by the first adjustment component, which solves the problem that in the existing technology, most photovoltaic racks are rigid structures and cannot meet the installation requirements of flexible photovoltaic cells. The angle of most photovoltaic racks is fixed and cannot be adjusted for the angle of photovoltaic cells.

[0026] The first adjustment assembly includes a first electric actuator 8 fixedly connected to the side wall of the upright plate 3 via a fixing block, and a support block 9 fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the first electric actuator 8.

[0027] A sliding groove 10 is provided on the upright plate 3, and a sliding block 11 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 10. The side wall of the sliding block 11 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the support block 9.

[0028] The side of the sliding block 11 away from the support block 9 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 12 via the third rotating shaft. The end of the connecting rod 12 away from the sliding block 11 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the T-shaped plate 4 via the fourth rotating shaft.

[0029] During operation, the first electric push rod 8 pushes the support block 9 and the sliding block 11, which in turn causes the connecting rod 12 to push the T-shaped plate 4 to rotate around the first rotating axis, thereby adjusting the angle of the T-shaped plate 4. This allows a set of support plates 6 to adjust their tilt angles simultaneously, improving the photovoltaic cell's efficiency in receiving sunlight.

[0030] The second adjustment assembly includes a second electric actuator 13 fixed to the side wall of the T-shaped plate 4, a circular rod 14 fixed between the telescopic ends of a pair of second electric actuators 13, and a set of circular blocks 15 fixed to the circular rod 14.

[0031] A rectangular block 16 is fixed to the bottom of the support plate 6. A rectangular hole 17 is provided on the rectangular block 16. An isosceles groove 18 is provided on the opposite wall of the rectangular hole 17. A circular rod 14 is located in the rectangular hole 17. A circular block 15 is slidably connected in the isosceles groove 18.

[0032] During operation, the retraction of a pair of second electric actuators 13 can drive the circular rod 14 to move laterally, allowing the support plate 6 to cooperate with the angle adjustment of the T-shaped plate 4 on the original extrusion setting. This makes the angle of the support plate 6 facing the sunlight more precise, improving power generation efficiency. The support plate 6 can only tilt to a certain extent to avoid touching the circular rod 14.

[0033] Working principle: When the first electric actuator 8 operates, its telescopic end drives the support block 9 to move. Because the support block 9 is fixedly connected to the sliding block 11, the sliding block 11 slides within the sliding groove 10 on the vertical plate 3. Simultaneously, the sliding block 11 is connected to the connecting rod 12 via the third rotating shaft, and the other end of the connecting rod 12 is connected to the T-shaped plate 4 via the fourth rotating shaft. Thus, the sliding of the sliding block 11 transmits force through the connecting rod 12, causing the T-shaped plate 4 to rotate around the first rotating shaft, thereby changing the angle of the T-shaped plate 4 and adjusting the angle of a pair of T-shaped plates 4, allowing a set of support plates 6 to adjust synchronously.

[0034] The angle of the T-shaped plate 4 is adjusted by extending and retracting the first electric actuator 8. This adjustment method is electric, easy to operate, and allows for precise control of the angle of the T-shaped plate 4. Moreover, this structure is relatively simple, facilitating maintenance and installation. In practical use, the angle of the T-shaped plate 4 can be quickly adjusted according to changes in the sun's position, thereby changing the tilt angle of the entire photovoltaic frame and improving the solar energy reception efficiency of the photovoltaic cells.

[0035] When the pair of second electric actuators 13 are activated, they retract, causing the circular rod 14 to move to one side. The extension end of the circular rod 14 moves the circular rod 14, and the circular block 15 on the circular rod 14 also moves accordingly. Since the inner wall of the rectangular hole 17 on the rectangular block 16 at the bottom of the support plate 6 has an isosceles groove 18, and the circular block 15 is slidably connected within the isosceles groove 18, the movement of the circular block 15 pushes the rectangular block 16, thereby causing the support plate 6 to rotate around the second rotation axis. This changes the angle of the support plate 6, allowing the photovoltaic cells, when installed on the support plate 6, to adjust their tilt angle according to different lighting conditions.

[0036] This adjustment method also uses electric control, enabling precise angle adjustment. Furthermore, this structural design allows the angle adjustment of the support plate 6 to coordinate with the angle adjustment of the T-shaped plate 4, further improving the photovoltaic rack's ability to adjust the angle of sunlight reception, which is beneficial for improving the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic cells.
