After the PV solar modules are installed, the overall structure is tilted at an angle, with a lower front and higher rear.

[0003] The existing patent authorization announcement number CN221878724U discloses an operating platform for the installation of photovoltaic brackets and components in mountainous areas. The main body of the operating platform is connected and fastened to the steel pipe column of the photovoltaic bracket by two upper and lower clamps and bolts. Then, the longitudinal beam and the angle steel limiting piece are connected by bolts. The upper platform formed by the steel plate and the longitudinal beam is installed on the main body of the bracket, thus forming the overall installation of the operating platform.

[0004] In the aforementioned patent, one end of each of the two crossbeams is fixed to the column, and the two crossbeams extend outwards to both sides of the steel pipe column of the photovoltaic support, staggered vertically. A platform is formed by installing steel plates on the two crossbeams. The spacing of the platform formed by the staggered crossbeams is fixed and cannot be adjusted according to the actual usage, which has certain limitations. Utility Model Content

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a dual-platform photovoltaic module installation platform bracket, including a bracket column 1. Multiple mounting holes 11 are equidistantly opened on the outside of the bracket column 1 along its length direction. A lower platform beam 2 and an upper platform beam 3 are respectively arranged below and above the front side of the bracket column 1. The ends of the lower platform beam 2 and the upper platform beam 3 away from the bracket column 1 are arranged in opposite directions. A diagonal brace assembly 4 is movably installed in the middle of the front side of the bracket column 1 and is connected to the ends of the lower platform beam 2 and the upper platform beam 3 away from the bracket column 1.

[0024] The diagonal bracing assembly 4 consists of diagonal brace 1 41, diagonal brace 2 42, side plate 43, adjustment hole 44, fixing bolt 1 45, and fixing bolt 2 46. The top end of diagonal brace 1 41 is fixedly connected to the end of the upper platform crossbeam 3, and the bottom end of diagonal brace 2 42 is fixedly connected to the end of the lower platform crossbeam 2. The middle parts of diagonal brace 1 41 and diagonal brace 2 42 are slidably connected through side plate 43. Adjustment holes 44 are provided on diagonal brace 1 41 and diagonal brace 2 42 for fixing bolt 1 45 and fixing bolt 2 46 to pass through. Fixing bolt 1 45 is movably installed in the adjustment hole 44 that overlaps with diagonal brace 2 42 and diagonal brace 1 41. Fixing bolt 2 46 penetrates the adjustment hole 44 on the front side of diagonal brace 1 41 and is hinged to the inside of mounting hole 11. The upper platform crossbeam 3 is installed in mounting hole 11 above the support column 1 by means of bolts. The first strut 41 can rotate along the end of the upper platform crossbeam 3 to the front of the support column 1, and the first diagonal strut 41 can slide and extend inside the side plate 43. By adjusting the overall length of the first diagonal strut 41 and the second diagonal strut 42, the installation height of the lower platform crossbeam 2 can be changed accordingly. After determining the installation position of the lower platform crossbeam 2, the lower platform crossbeam 2 is installed in the mounting hole 11 with bolts so that it is located below the support column 1 for fixation. The second fixing bolt 46 is used to fix it by passing through the adjustment hole 44 on the first diagonal strut 41 and the mounting hole 11 that coincides with it. Then, the first fixing bolt 45 is used to fix it by passing through the adjustment hole 44 that coincides with the second diagonal strut 42 and the first diagonal strut 41. Conversely, fixing the lower platform crossbeam 2 first can also adjust the upper platform crossbeam 3, thereby adjusting the distance between the upper platform crossbeam 3 and the lower platform crossbeam 2, improving the flexibility of use.

[0025] The adjustment holes 44 are equidistantly arranged along the length of the first diagonal brace 41 and the second diagonal brace 42. The equidistant arrangement of adjacent adjustment holes 44 allows for precise length control of the first diagonal brace 41 and the second diagonal brace 42 in multiple positions during telescopic adjustment. Each movement of an adjustment hole 44 results in a corresponding fixed change in the height of the lower platform crossbeam 2 or the upper platform crossbeam 3. The positions of the adjustment holes 44 and the mounting holes 11 are calculated to ensure that they overlap under multiple adjustment positions for fixation. This facilitates quick adjustment to the appropriate spacing by operators according to the installation requirements of the photovoltaic modules, while also ensuring stability and reliability during the adjustment process and avoiding installation errors or structural shaking caused by uneven spacing of the adjustment holes 44.

[0026] Both the lower platform crossbeam 2 and the upper platform crossbeam 3 are fixedly installed inside the mounting holes 11 by bolts. During installation, the ends of the lower platform crossbeam 2 or the upper platform crossbeam 3 must first be aligned with the pre-set mounting holes 11 on the support column 1 to ensure that the connecting surfaces of the crossbeam and the support column 1 are tightly fitted. Then, the fixing bolts are inserted and the nuts are tightened to form a stable rigid connection between the lower platform crossbeam 2 and the upper platform crossbeam 3 and the support column 1. This facilitates installation and disassembly, and makes it convenient for the overall transportation and on-site assembly of the support. The fit accuracy between the bolts and the mounting holes 11 is strictly controlled to prevent the lower platform crossbeam 2 and the upper platform crossbeam 3 from loosening or shifting during use, further improving the safety performance of the work platform support.

[0027] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The support column 1 has clamps installed on the upper and lower sides of its left side. The support column 1 is installed on the photovoltaic support steel pipe column through the clamps. The inner wall of the clamp has anti-slip texture, which can effectively increase the friction between the clamp and the photovoltaic support steel pipe column and prevent the support column 1 from rotating or sliding during use. Connecting ear plates extend from both ends of the clamp, and corresponding through holes are opened on the connecting ear plates. The clamp can be tightened and fixed by fastening bolts and nuts through the through holes. The operator can flexibly adjust the tightness of the clamp according to the actual diameter of the photovoltaic support steel pipe column to ensure the stability of the support column 1 installation. At the same time, the clamp is made of high-strength alloy material, which has good load-bearing capacity and corrosion resistance, can adapt to complex outdoor environmental conditions, and extend the service life of the work platform support.

[0028] With the lower platform beam 2 and the upper platform beam 3 set up, the upper platform beam 3 is used to place and install photovoltaic modules. Its area is designed according to the size of common photovoltaic modules, which facilitates the positioning and operation of the modules. The lower platform beam 2 provides a stable standing space for the operators and can also be used to store tools, making it convenient for the operators to access the tools, thereby improving the efficiency of photovoltaic module installation.

[0029] The upper platform crossbeam 3, the diagonal bracing assembly 4, and the lower platform crossbeam 2 are arranged in a zigzag structure. This structure effectively transfers the vertical load borne by the upper platform crossbeam 3 to the lower platform crossbeam 2 via the diagonal bracing assembly 4, and then distributes the load to the support column 1, forming a stable triangular force-bearing system. This significantly improves the overall structure's resistance to bending and shearing. When workers are installing photovoltaic modules on the upper or lower platform, the zigzag structure can utilize its geometric properties to offset some of the horizontal impact force, reducing swaying and providing more reliable structural support for high-altitude operations. This ensures the structural stability and safety of the support under long-term load-bearing conditions.

[0030] Multiple positioning pins 6 are equidistantly arranged on the top of both the lower platform crossbeam 2 and the upper platform crossbeam 3. A purlin 5 is engaged on the inner side of each positioning pin 6. The two ends of the purlin 5 are engaged with the adjacent positioning pins 6 to form a transverse load-bearing frame. Anti-slip treads can be laid on the top surface to provide a stable standing area for workers. The positioning pins 6 and purlin 5 are precisely matched, which can quickly complete the installation and positioning of the purlin 5.

[0031] Working Principle: During installation, the number of operating platform spans to be erected at one time is determined based on the number of steel pipe columns of the photovoltaic support, the construction deployment, and the terrain undulations of the site. After the steel pipe columns of the photovoltaic support are constructed, the support column 1 is fixed to the steel pipe columns of the photovoltaic support using the clamps at its upper and lower ends. The upper platform crossbeam 3 is installed in the mounting hole 11 above the support column 1 with bolts. At this time, fixing bolts 46 and 45 are not installed. The diagonal brace 41 can rotate along the end of the upper platform crossbeam 3 in front of the support column 1, and the diagonal brace 41 can slide and extend inside the side plate 43. The overall length of the diagonal brace 41 and diagonal brace 42 is adjusted. The lower platform crossbeam 2 can change its height position by sliding the diagonal brace 42. After determining the installation position of the lower platform crossbeam 2, bolts are used to secure the lower platform crossbeam 2. Beam 2 is installed in the mounting hole 11 and fixed below the support column 1. At this time, fixing bolt 2 46 is used to pass through the adjustment hole 44 on the first diagonal brace 41 and the mounting hole 11 that coincides with it for fixing. Fixing bolt 1 45 is used to pass through the adjustment hole 44 that coincides with the second diagonal brace 42 and the first diagonal brace 41 for fixing. Then the distance between the upper platform crossbeam 3 and the lower platform crossbeam 2 is adjusted. The upper platform crossbeam 3, the upper platform crossbeam 3 diagonal brace assembly 4 and the support column 1 are all triangular support structures to ensure support stability. Then, purlin 5 is erected between the multiple lower platform crossbeams 2 and the positioning pins 6 on the upper platform crossbeam 3 set according to the steel pipe column of the photovoltaic support to form a support platform for operation. The above is the working process of the whole device. The contents not described in detail in this specification are all prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
