[0002] Driven by the national "dual-carbon" strategy, my country's photovoltaic industry is experiencing rapid development. As the industry gradually moves towards a new stage of high-quality development, the operational safety of photovoltaic power plants is becoming increasingly prominent. Among these issues, accidents caused by severe weather such as strong winds are particularly serious and have become one of the core focuses of industry attention.

These accidents not only cause significant property damage but can also endanger personal safety. More seriously, these wind-related safety hazards directly increase the cost of power plant construction and significantly extend the investment payback period, posing a severe constraint on the healthy and sustainable development of the photovoltaic industry.

[0004] In summary, how to provide a wind-resistant device that can effectively resist wind and whose structure can be adjusted according to site conditions to improve the structural stability and safety of photovoltaic power plants is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a retractable and adjustable angle column base brace structure, which can effectively resist wind, improve the structural stability of photovoltaic power stations, and can adjust and retract the upper brace according to the site conditions, thereby improving the safety of photovoltaic system use.

[0006] Another objective of this invention is to provide a photovoltaic module that includes the aforementioned retractable and adjustable angle column base brace structure.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A retractable and adjustable angle column base brace structure includes:

[0009] A support member is slidably disposed on one side of the column, and when the support member moves to the required height, it is fixed to the column by fasteners.

[0012] In one embodiment, the support includes a sliding plate slidably disposed on one side of the column and an assembly plate disposed on one side of the sliding plate, the assembly plate being connected to the end of the upper diagonal brace.

[0013] In one embodiment, the ends of the mounting plate and the upper diagonal brace are fixedly connected by bolts.

[0014] In one embodiment, a connector is further included, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the upper diagonal brace and the outer periphery of the lower diagonal brace, and both the upper diagonal brace and the lower diagonal brace are connected to the connector.

[0032] 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.

[0033] The core of this invention is to provide a retractable and adjustable angle column base brace structure, which can effectively resist wind, improve the structural stability of photovoltaic power stations, and allow for adjustment and retraction of the upper brace according to site conditions, thereby enhancing the safety of the photovoltaic system. Another core aspect of this invention is to provide a photovoltaic module that includes the aforementioned retractable and adjustable angle column base brace structure.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This specific embodiment provides a retractable and adjustable angle column base brace structure, including:

[0035] Support 1 is slidably disposed on one side of column 6. When support 1 moves to the required height, it is fixed to column 6 by fasteners.

[0036] The upper diagonal brace 2 has one end detachably connected to the support member 1;

[0037] The lower diagonal brace 3 has one end connected to the other end of the upper diagonal brace 2, and the other end of the lower diagonal brace 3 is provided with a fitting 4 fixed to the ground.

[0038] In practical applications, the shape, structure, size, material, and position of the support component 1, upper diagonal brace 2, lower diagonal brace 3, and assembly 4 can be determined according to the actual situation and needs.

[0039] When using the retractable and adjustable angle column base bracing structure provided by this utility model, the column 6 is an assembly structure for fixing the photovoltaic system to the ground. When the photovoltaic system encounters a sudden strong wind, firstly, the operator moves the support 1 along the column 6 and fixes the support 1 at the required height using fasteners. Then, the operator tilts and fixes one end of the upper brace 2 to the end of the support 1 so that the upper brace 2 is set at a preset angle. Then, the operator connects one end of the lower brace 3 to the other end of the upper brace 2. Finally, the operator fixes the other end of the lower brace 3 to the ground using the fitting 4, so that the upper brace 2 and the lower brace 3 can effectively improve the anti-tipping ability and wind resistance of the column 6.

[0040] When the photovoltaic system does not encounter a sudden strong wind, firstly, the operator can disconnect the accessory 4 from the ground. Then, the operator can disconnect the lower diagonal brace 3 from the upper diagonal brace 2. Finally, the operator can disconnect the upper diagonal brace 2 from the support 1, rotate the upper diagonal brace 2 to the side that is close to the column 6, and then connect and fix the upper diagonal brace 2 and the support 1 to store the upper diagonal brace 2, so as to avoid the upper diagonal brace 2 taking up too much space and affecting the normal use of the photovoltaic system.

[0041] This device improves the structure of existing photovoltaic systems to prevent the system from being blown away or damaged by strong winds, thus avoiding significant property loss and potential personal safety hazards. It also increases maintenance costs and endangers personnel safety. In other words, this device can effectively improve the wind resistance of photovoltaic systems, and operators can adjust and retract the upper diagonal brace 2 according to the site conditions, thereby enhancing the safety of the photovoltaic system.

[0042] In summary, the retractable and adjustable angle column base diagonal brace structure provided by this utility model can effectively resist wind, improve the structural stability of photovoltaic power stations, and can adjust and retract the upper diagonal brace 2 according to the site conditions, thereby improving the safety of photovoltaic system use.

[0043] In one embodiment, the support member 1 includes a sliding plate slidably disposed on one side of the column 6 and an assembly plate disposed on one side of the sliding plate, the assembly plate being connected to the end of the upper diagonal brace 2.

[0044] It should be noted that the support member 1 can be set as an inverted Y-shaped structure. There are corresponding bolt holes 7 between the assembly plate and the upper diagonal brace 2. When it is necessary to fix the assembly plate and the upper diagonal brace 2, the bolt 7 is passed through the bolt hole 7 and tightened with a nut. When it is necessary to store the upper diagonal brace 2, the bolt 7 can be loosened or removed until the upper diagonal brace 2 is stored in place, and then the support member 1 and the upper diagonal brace 2 are fixedly connected by the bolt 7.

[0045] In one embodiment, the ends of the mounting plate and the upper diagonal brace 2 are fixedly connected by bolts 7 so that the upper diagonal brace 2 and the mounting plate can be disassembled and assembled. Moreover, when one of the upper diagonal brace 2 or the support member 1 is damaged, the damaged part can be replaced with a new part through disassembly, and then the new part and the undamaged part can continue to be used together.

[0046] In one embodiment, a connector is further included, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the upper inclined brace 2 and the outer periphery of the lower inclined brace 3, and both the upper inclined brace 2 and the lower inclined brace 3 are connected to the connector. For example, the connector can be configured as a cylindrical structure, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the upper inclined brace 2 and the outer periphery of the lower inclined brace 3, and both the upper inclined brace 2 and the lower inclined brace 3 are fixedly connected to the cylindrical structure by bolts 7.

[0047] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the upper half of the connector is provided with an upper elongated hole 51. The upper elongated hole 51 and the upper diagonal brace 2 are fixedly connected by bolts 7. When in use, the bolts 7 pass through the upper elongated hole 51 to fix the connector and the upper diagonal brace 2, so that the connection position of the connector and the upper diagonal brace 2 can be adjusted by setting the upper elongated hole 51. The lower half of the connector is provided with a lower elongated hole 52. The lower elongated hole 52 and the lower diagonal brace 3 are fixedly connected by bolts 7. When in use, the bolts 7 pass through the lower elongated hole 52 to fix the connector and the lower diagonal brace 3, so that the connection position of the connector and the lower diagonal brace 3 can be adjusted by setting the lower elongated hole 52.

[0048] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the assembly 4 includes a base plate 41 that fits against the ground and anchor bolts 42. The anchor bolts 42 are used to fix the base plate 41 to the ground. During use, one end of the lower diagonal brace 3 can be connected to one end of the upper diagonal brace 2, and the other end of the lower diagonal brace 3 can be connected to the base plate 41. The base plate 41 is fixed to the ground by the anchor bolts 42 and nuts. Unscrewing the nuts will release the fixed connection between the base plate 41 and the anchor bolts 42.

[0049] To further illustrate the use of the retractable and adjustable angle column base brace structure provided by this utility model, the following example will be given.

[0050] When the photovoltaic system encounters a sudden strong wind, the operator first moves the support component 1 along the column 6 and fixes it at the required height using fasteners. Then, the operator fixes one end of the upper diagonal brace 2 at an angle to the mounting plate of the support component 1 using bolts 7, ensuring the upper diagonal brace 2 is set at a preset angle. Next, the operator aligns and inserts the connector into the other end of the upper diagonal brace 2, and bolts 7 pass through the upper elongated hole 51 to secure the connector and the upper diagonal brace 2. Then, the operator aligns and inserts the lower diagonal brace 3 into the lower part of the connector, and bolts 7 pass through the lower elongated hole 52 to secure the connector and the lower diagonal brace 3, ensuring a firm and reliable connection between the upper diagonal brace 2, the connector, and the lower diagonal brace 3, effectively enhancing wind resistance. Finally, the operator fixes the other end of the lower diagonal brace 3 to the ground using the mounting accessory 4, effectively improving the column 6's resistance to tipping and wind through the upper diagonal brace 2 and the lower diagonal brace 3.

[0051] When the photovoltaic system does not encounter a sudden strong wind, firstly, the operator can unscrew the nuts to release the fixed connection between the base plate 41 and the anchor bolt 42. Then, the operator should disconnect both the lower diagonal brace 3 and the upper diagonal brace 2 from the connector. Finally, the operator should disconnect the upper diagonal brace 2 from the support member 1, rotate the upper diagonal brace 2 to the side that is close to the column 6, and then connect and fix the upper diagonal brace 2 and the support member 1 to store the upper diagonal brace 2, so as to avoid the upper diagonal brace 2 occupying too much space and affecting the normal use of the photovoltaic system.

[0052] In one embodiment, the base plate 41 and the lower diagonal brace 3 are stamped structural components. Using standardized, high-precision stamped components effectively improves the wind resistance of the photovoltaic system structure and allows for adjustment and storage of the upper diagonal brace 2 according to site conditions, thus enhancing the safety of the photovoltaic system. Furthermore, stamped structural components offer high material utilization, energy saving, and cost reduction; moreover, they exhibit excellent strength and precision.

[0053] In one embodiment, both the upper diagonal brace 2 and the lower diagonal brace 3 include steel pipe fittings, so that the device is easy to process, manufacture and use, and helps to reduce the manufacturing cost of the device, and can also ensure the use effect of the device, effectively improving the wind resistance of the photovoltaic structure.

A support member 1 for the adjustable-angle column base brace structure is slidably mounted on the slide rail, and the slide rail is provided with at least one fixing hole at intervals. Fasteners for the adjustable-angle column base brace structure are used to fix the support member 1 in the fixing hole.
