Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic panel support technology, specifically an adjustable-spacing photovoltaic panel support. Background Technology
[0002] Photovoltaic panel supports are a key component of solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems. They are primarily used to secure the PV panels and maintain them at a preset angle to maximize solar energy reception. Their structural stability directly affects the installation stability and power generation efficiency of the PV panels. They typically consist of a base, brackets, connectors, and other components, and must withstand the long-term testing of complex outdoor environments while meeting the layout requirements of different installation scenarios.
[0003] In photovoltaic (PV) systems, the spacing between PV panels has a significant impact on power generation efficiency. On the one hand, too small a spacing can cause adjacent PV panels to shade each other when the angle of sunlight changes, reducing the effective light-receiving area. On the other hand, too large a spacing wastes installation space and reduces the installed capacity per unit area. Therefore, flexibly adjusting the spacing between adjacent PV panels according to the latitude of different regions, seasonal changes in the angle of sunlight, and the size of the PV panels is key to balancing power generation efficiency and space utilization. For example, in high-latitude regions, the spacing needs to be increased in winter to avoid shading from snow accumulation and low-angle sunlight, while the spacing can be appropriately reduced in summer to improve land utilization. Different sizes of PV panels also require matching appropriate spacing to optimize the layout.
[0004] However, most existing photovoltaic panel support bases are fixed structures, with their spacing determined during manufacturing or installation, making them unadjustable to meet actual usage needs. When it's necessary to replace photovoltaic panels of different sizes, or to optimize the spacing due to seasonal changes or site adjustments, the original support bases must be disassembled and reprocessed or reinstalled. This not only increases labor and time costs but may also affect the stability and lifespan of the support structure due to repeated disassembly. Therefore, developing a photovoltaic panel support base with adjustable spacing has become an important direction for solving these problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable-spacing photovoltaic panel support to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] In view of the above problems, the technical solution proposed by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] An adjustable-spacing photovoltaic panel support includes a base. The top surface of the base has three sets of sliding grooves. The top surface of the base has a plurality of first threaded holes evenly spaced on both sides of the three sets of sliding grooves, distributed along the long side of each groove. A plurality of sliders slide within each of the three sets of sliding grooves. A connecting plate is mounted on the top surface of each slider. The top surface of the connecting plate has four sets of second threaded holes and four sets of first through holes. First bolts connect the first through holes and the first threaded holes. At least two sets of support frames slide on the top surface of the base, and the bottom surface of each support frame is connected to the connecting plate. Through the cooperation of the sliding grooves, sliders, connecting plate, first threaded holes, first through holes, and first bolts, the spacing of the support frames can be flexibly adjusted according to the photovoltaic panel size, sunlight angle, and other requirements. This avoids the drawbacks of fixed structures that cannot be adjusted, improving the applicability of the support and the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel.
[0008] Furthermore, the support frame includes three sets of first uprights and three sets of second uprights, with each set corresponding to the others and distributed along the long side of the slide groove. The height of the first uprights is less than the height of the second uprights. A crossbeam connects the first and second uprights on the same side, and an inclined beam connects them on the same side. Three sets of fixed rods connect the three sets of inclined beams. The design of the high and low uprights allows the photovoltaic panels to receive light at the optimal angle, improving power generation efficiency. The crossbeams and inclined beams enhance the structural strength and stability of the support frame, ensuring that the photovoltaic panels are firmly installed. The fixed rods provide the installation foundation for the photovoltaic panels and their spacing can be adjusted as the support frame moves to meet the needs of different scenarios.
[0009] Furthermore, a fixing plate is installed on the bottom surface of each of the three sets of first uprights and the three sets of second uprights. The top surface of the fixing plate has four sets of second through holes. A second bolt is connected between the second through holes and the second threaded hole. The cooperation of the fixing plate, the second through holes, the second threaded hole and the second bolt ensures the firmness of the connection between the support frame and the connecting plate, prevents the support frame from shaking or falling off during use, and enhances the overall stability and safety of the support base.
[0010] Furthermore, the slider is U-shaped, and a roller is rotatably connected in the groove of the slider. The roller rolls in the groove. The roller reduces the friction of the slider moving in the groove, making the spacing adjustment of the support frame easier and more convenient. At the same time, it reduces the wear of components and extends the service life of the support base.
[0011] Furthermore, the top surface of the fixing rod is provided with several sets of photovoltaic panel mounting holes. The photovoltaic panel mounting holes are evenly distributed along the length of the fixing rod, and the photovoltaic panel mounting holes are provided with internal threads. The design of the photovoltaic panel mounting holes provides a convenient and stable installation method for photovoltaic panels. The internal threads ensure the reliability of the connection, and the evenly distributed holes improve the flexibility of photovoltaic panel installation and can be adapted to photovoltaic panels of various specifications.
[0012] Furthermore, the outer side of the slider is provided with a wear-resistant coating. The wear-resistant coating is made of polytetrafluoroethylene and has a thickness of 0.5 to 1 mm. The wear-resistant coating enhances the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the slider, extends the service life of the slider, and ensures that the slider can still slide flexibly during long-term use, maintaining the stability of the support seat spacing adjustment function.
[0013] Furthermore, the first and second bolts are made of stainless steel, and the heads of the first and second bolts are provided with anti-slip textures with a texture depth of 0.3 to 0.5 mm. The high-strength stainless steel material improves the service life and connection strength of the bolts and prevents them from rusting and failing. The anti-slip textures make the installation and adjustment of the bolts more convenient and labor-saving, and improve the usability of the support base.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This adjustable-spacing photovoltaic panel support seat achieves flexible adjustment of the support frame spacing through the cooperation of components such as sliding grooves, sliders, and bolts. Combined with the design of wear-resistant coating and anti-slip bolts, it not only makes the installation and spacing adjustment of photovoltaic panels more convenient and labor-saving, and can adapt to the needs of photovoltaic panels of different sizes and sunlight conditions, but also enhances the structural stability and service life of the support seat, effectively improving the power generation efficiency of photovoltaic panels and the applicability of the support seat.

[0021] 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.
[0022] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an adjustable-spacing photovoltaic panel support base, including a base. The top surface of the base has three sets of sliding grooves. The top surface of the base has several first threaded holes evenly spaced on both sides of the three sets of sliding grooves, distributed along the long side of the sliding grooves. Several sliders slide inside each of the three sets of sliding grooves. A connecting plate is mounted on the top surface of each slider. The top surface of the connecting plate has four sets of second threaded holes and four sets of first through holes. First bolts connect the first through holes and the first threaded holes. At least two sets of support frames slide on the top surface of the base, and the bottom surface of each support frame is connected to the connecting plate. The sliders can slide within the sliding grooves of the base, moving the connecting plate and the connected support frames, thereby changing the spacing between the support frames. When adjusted to a suitable position, the connecting plate is fixed by passing the first bolt through the first through hole of the connecting plate and connecting it to the first threaded hole of the base, thus fixing the position of the support frames. Finally, the base is buried underground.
[0023] As an embodiment of this utility model, the support frame further includes three sets of first uprights and three sets of second uprights, with the three sets of first uprights and three sets of second uprights corresponding one-to-one and distributed along the long side of the slide groove. The height of the first upright is less than the height of the second upright. A crossbeam connects the first upright and the second upright on the same side, and an inclined beam also connects them on the same side. Three sets of fixed rods connect the three sets of inclined beams. The first upright and the second upright have different heights, which makes the support frame tilted at an angle, so that the photovoltaic panels can receive sunlight at a suitable angle. The crossbeam and the inclined beam enhance the connection stability between the first upright and the second upright. The fixed rods are used to install the photovoltaic panels and the spacing between the photovoltaic panels can be adjusted according to the position of the support frame.
[0024] As an embodiment of this utility model, further, the bottom surfaces of the three sets of first uprights and the three sets of second uprights are all equipped with fixing plates. The top surface of the fixing plate has four sets of second through holes. A second bolt is connected between the second through hole and the second threaded hole. The second bolt passes through the second through hole of the fixing plate and connects with the second threaded hole of the connecting plate, thereby fixing the first upright and the second upright to the connecting plate, so that the support frame and the connecting plate form a stable whole.
[0025] In one embodiment of this utility model, the slider is U-shaped, and a roller is rotatably connected in the groove of the slider. The roller rolls in the groove, and the U-shaped slider is stuck in the groove. The roller in the groove can roll in the groove, which converts the sliding friction between the slider and the groove into rolling friction, thereby reducing the resistance during movement.
[0026] As an embodiment of this utility model, the top surface of the fixing rod is provided with a plurality of photovoltaic panel mounting holes, which are evenly distributed along the length of the fixing rod and have internal threads. The special fastener is connected to the fixing rod through the mounting holes of the fixing rod, and the photovoltaic panel is then fixed to the special fastener. The evenly distributed holes are adapted to special fasteners and photovoltaic panels of different specifications.
[0027] As an embodiment of this utility model, the outer side of the slider is further provided with a wear-resistant coating. The wear-resistant coating is made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) material with a thickness of 0.5-1 mm. PTFE material has excellent wear resistance and a low coefficient of friction. When coated on the outer side of the slider, it can reduce the friction and wear between the slider and the groove, and at the same time improve the corrosion resistance of the slider.
[0028] As an embodiment of this utility model, the first bolt and the second bolt are made of stainless steel, and the heads of the first bolt and the second bolt are provided with anti-slip texture with a texture depth of 0.3 to 0.5 mm. The high-strength stainless steel material gives the bolts high strength and corrosion resistance, ensuring the stability and durability of the connection. The anti-slip texture on the head increases the friction between the hand or tool and the bolt head, making it easier to tighten and loosen the bolt.
[0029] It should be noted that all standard parts used in this application can be purchased from the market, and can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art. The control method is automatic control through a control cabinet. The control circuit can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art and is common knowledge in the field. Furthermore, since this application is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, this application will not explain the control method and circuit connection in detail.
