Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of photovoltaic equipment technology, specifically relating to a portable and installable offshore photovoltaic support structure. Background Technology

[0002] Conventional offshore photovoltaic (PV) supports can be welded to steel pile foundations using triangular pyramidal members. In actual assembly at the dock, the PV support and the triangular pyramids are welded together and transported to the sea, where they are then hoisted onto the corresponding steel pile foundations. This type of triangular pyramidal connection avoids the direct welding of the top of the pile foundation to the PV support, which would increase the length of the pile foundation and save on the amount of steel pile foundation used.

[0003] However, the triangular pyramid-shaped support structure is often not conducive to maritime transportation. When the offshore photovoltaic project site is far from the shore, it is difficult to stack and transport the triangular pyramid-shaped photovoltaic support. On the one hand, it is difficult to stack and transport the tooling. On the other hand, since the triangular pyramid is already fixed under the photovoltaic support, the number of stacking layers is limited. Utility Model Content

[0033] This utility model provides a portable and installable marine photovoltaic support structure, comprising:

[0034] 1. Triangular pyramid component; 2. Photovoltaic support frame; 3. Photovoltaic support pole; 4. Multiple steel pile foundation ball node poles; and 5. Connecting parts.

[0035] The triangular pyramid assembly 1 includes multiple round rods 101, which are spliced ​​together to form the triangular pyramid assembly. Each round rod 101 has a connector 5 at both ends.

[0036] The photovoltaic support 2 is equipped with photovoltaic support poles 201 that match each round rod 101 in the triangular pyramid component 1;

[0037] A connector 5 is provided at the end of the photovoltaic support pole 201 that is away from the photovoltaic support 2;

[0038] A connector 5 is provided at one end of the ball joint column 4 of the steel pile foundation;

[0039] The two ends of the round rod 101 are rotatably connected to the steel pile foundation ball node pole 4 and the photovoltaic support pole 3 respectively through the connector 5.

[0040] In the case of transporting photovoltaic support structures at sea, the triangular pyramidal component 1 can be folded horizontally to save transport space.

[0041] The triangular pyramid assembly 1, composed of multiple round rods 101, supports and stabilizes the entire offshore photovoltaic (PV) support structure. Each round rod has connectors 5 at both ends for connection to other components. The PV support 2 serves as the frame for installing and supporting the PV modules. It connects to the triangular pyramid assembly 1 and is supported by uprights. PV support uprights 3 are connected to the PV support 2, supporting the PV support and ensuring its stability. The steel pile foundation ball joint uprights 4 are located in the foundation of the support and can be welded to the seabed steel pile foundation or to the ball joint of the steel pile foundation during transportation. Connectors 5 connect the triangular pyramid assembly, the PV support uprights, and the steel pile foundation ball joint uprights. The connectors provide rotatable connections, allowing for flexible folding of the various parts.

[0042] The design of this offshore photovoltaic support structure centers on foldable triangular pyramidal modules, significantly saving space during transportation. Through the rotating connection of connector 5, each component can be flexibly folded or unfolded, ensuring a more compact support structure for convenient long-distance sea transport. The folded structure not only reduces space occupation but also simplifies transportation and installation. By folding the triangular pyramidal modules horizontally, the problem of traditional support structures being unable to be stacked during sea transport is effectively solved, thereby improving the overall efficiency of offshore photovoltaic projects.

[0043] The beneficial effects of the technical solution provided by this utility model embodiment include at least the following:

[0044] In this embodiment of the invention, the use of a foldable triangular pyramid component design effectively solves the problems of stacking difficulties and space constraints encountered by traditional triangular pyramid brackets during maritime transport. Specifically, through the rotatable connection of the connectors, the photovoltaic bracket can be folded horizontally during transport, significantly saving transport space and facilitating long-distance maritime transport. Furthermore, this structure replaces traditional welding with connectors, significantly simplifying the installation process, improving the portability and loading / unloading efficiency of the photovoltaic bracket, and enhancing its applicability in offshore photovoltaic projects.

[0045] In one possible implementation, the triangular pyramid assembly 1 specifically includes three round rods 101.

[0046] It should be noted that the triangular pyramid assembly 1 consists of three round rods 101 forming a triangular pyramid shape, providing support and stability. This design enhances the stability of the structure while also facilitating folding and transportation.

[0047] In one possible implementation, the connectors 5 at both ends of the round rod 101 are arranged in a mirror-symmetric orientation.

[0048] It should be noted that the connectors 5 at both ends of the round rod 101 are arranged in a mirror-symmetrical direction. This design ensures the balance and symmetry of the connection, thereby enhancing the stability and uniformity of the support structure.

[0049] In one possible implementation, the connector 5 includes an integrally formed end plate 501 and ear plate 502. The end plate 501 is fixedly connected to the corresponding pole body, wherein the pole body includes a photovoltaic support pole 3, a round pole 101, and a steel pile foundation ball node pole 4.

[0050] It should be noted that connector 5 consists of an integrally formed end plate 501 and ear plate 502. End plate 501 is fixedly connected to the poles (photovoltaic support pole 3, round pole 101, and steel pile foundation ball node pole 4). This design ensures a stable connection between the various poles, enhances the overall support structure's robustness and reliability, and provides a flexible rotational connection method.

[0051] In one possible implementation, each ear plate 502 is provided with a threaded hole 5021;

[0052] The ear plate 502 at one end of the round rod 101 is connected to the ear plate 502 at one end of the ball node upright of the steel pile foundation by bolts 5022 that match the threaded hole 5021, wherein the connected ear plates 502 can rotate relative to each other.

[0053] The ear plate 502 at the other end of the round rod 101 is connected to the ear plate 502 at one end of the photovoltaic bracket 2 by a bolt 5022 that matches the threaded hole 5021.

[0054] It should be noted that each ear plate 502 is provided with a threaded hole 5021. The ear plate 502 at one end of the round rod 101 is connected to the ear plate 502 at one end of the ball joint upright 4 of the steel pile foundation by bolts 5022, forming a rotatable connection. The ear plate 502 at the other end of the round rod 101 is connected to the ear plate 502 of the photovoltaic bracket 2 in a similar manner. This design ensures a stable connection between the components and provides rotational flexibility at the connection point, facilitating the folding and adjustment of the bracket.

[0055] Specifically, the triangular pyramid component 1 consists of three round rods 101, each with two end plates 501 welded to both ends, and connecting lugs 502 welded to the outer side of the end plates 501. Three uprights 4 are welded to the outside of the ball joint of the steel pile foundation. Three connecting end plates 501 and connecting lugs 502 are welded to the ends of the three uprights 4 furthest from the ball joint. The connecting lugs 502 at the upper end of each round rod 101 are connected and fixed to the photovoltaic support pole connecting lugs 502 by bolts 5022. Similarly, the other end is fixedly connected to the connecting lugs 502 on the outer side of the uprights 4 on the ball joint of the foundation by bolts 5022.

[0056] In practical applications, during the transportation of offshore photovoltaic (PV) systems, the PV support system is transported together with three round rods 101. The three round rods 101 can be rotated by cooperating with the connecting lugs 502 on the top of the round rods 101 and the connecting lugs 502 on the PV support system, folding the round rods 101 upwards to the same height as the PV support system, thereby increasing the number of stacking layers of the PV support on the transport ship. Once the PV support is transported to the designated hoisting position, the triangular pyramid assembly 1 is lowered to the actual installation position. Then, the connecting lugs 502 at the lower end of the triangular pyramid assembly 1 are aligned with the connecting lugs 502 on the three uprights 4 on the foundation connection ball joint and fixed by bolts 5022. To ensure the reliability of the bolt 5022 connection, the outer side of the bolt 5022 can be coated with a protective coating or other anti-corrosion material.
