Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of solar energy equipment technology, specifically relating to a wind-resistant folding solar panel support structure. Background Technology

[0002] A solar panel is a device that absorbs sunlight and converts solar radiation energy directly or indirectly into electrical energy through the photoelectric effect or photochemical effect. Most commercially available solar panels have a rigid frame structure, mainly composed of a glass panel, solar cells, and a backsheet. Foldable solar panels have received considerable attention due to their advantages such as small size, light weight, and ease of portability.

[0003] In a utility model patent entitled "A Novel Foldable Solar Panel," the folding and unfolding of the solar panel is achieved through hinges, and the solar panel is locked after folding by the cooperation of a fixing post, a fixing groove, a through groove on the fixing post, and a fixing pin penetrating into the fixing groove. However, the wind resistance of the unfolded foldable solar panel in practical applications is not considered, which may lead to damage to the solar panel in windy weather; moreover, the use of a rigid frame structure for the solar panel results in a relatively thick overall structure after folding, making components such as the glass panel easily damaged during use. Therefore, we propose a foldable solar panel support structure with wind resistance. Utility Model Content

[0024] The main support plate 4 is riveted with rivet nuts on the front; the main solar panel 1 is a flexible solar panel with through holes on the front and is fixed to the front of the main support plate 4 with screws.

[0025] The first fixing plate 5 has a hinge bolted to the right side of its front side, which is hinged to the main support plate 4. The side solar panel 2 is a flexible solar panel, which is fixed to the front side of the first fixing plate 5 by screws.

[0026] The second fixing plate 6 has a hinge bolted to the left side of its front side, which is hinged to the main support plate. The second solar panel 3 is a flexible solar panel, which is fixed to the front side of the second fixing plate 6 by screws.

[0027] The adjustable buckle 7 has two parts, with the main pull ring parts located on the upper and lower sides of the reverse side of the first fixing plate, and the corresponding U-shaped hooks located on the upper and lower sides of the reverse side of the second fixing plate.

[0028] The fixing buckle 8 has six parts, with the main pull ring parts located on the left and right sides of the back of the main support plate, and the corresponding U-shaped hooks located on the left side of the back of the first fixing plate and the right side of the back of the second fixing plate.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , 4 As shown in Figure 5, after the folding structure is unfolded, the main pull ring of the fixing buckle 8 is locked with the first fixing plate 5 and the second fixing plate 6 in a U-shaped hook lock, which can ensure the consistency of the structure and wind resistance after unfolding; two lifting lugs 9 are bolted to the top of the reverse side of the main support plate, which can be additionally tied with wind ropes when unfolded, further increasing the wind resistance of the support structure.
