Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic engineering technology, specifically a photovoltaic panel mounting bracket. Background Technology

[0002] A photovoltaic (PV) panel mounting bracket is used to place, support, and fix PV panels. PV panels typically need to have their tilt angle adjusted seasonally to enhance the absorption of direct sunlight and thus increase power generation. Existing mounting brackets with tilt adjustment functions usually employ a bearing structure to allow rotation, but this increases maintenance and production costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to provide a photovoltaic panel mounting bracket that addresses the above-mentioned shortcomings. The mounting bracket of this application has a simple structure, is easy to install and manufacture, and has low maintenance costs.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A photovoltaic panel mounting bracket includes: a base, a column, a main beam, and a secondary beam. The column is mounted on the base, and a crossbar is provided at the top of the column. The bottom of the main beam is provided with a groove that mates with the crossbar, and the main beam can rotate vertically relative to the crossbar. The secondary beam is mounted on the main beam and is perpendicular to the main beam. At least one support rod is hinged to the base. A sliding seat is provided on the main beam, and the sliding seat can move along the main beam. A locking mechanism is provided on the sliding seat. The other end of the support rod is hinged to the sliding seat.

[0005] Furthermore, a connecting seat is provided at the bottom of the main beam, and a slot is provided at the bottom of the connecting seat.

[0006] Furthermore, the top of the column is detachably provided with a first clamp, the crossbar is provided on the first clamp, the connecting seat includes two side plates, the two side plates are distributed on both sides of the first clamp, and the slot is opened at the bottom of the side plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the first clamp is provided with a sleeve, which is fitted onto the top of the column and is fixedly connected to the column by bolts.

[0008] Furthermore, the main beam is provided with a T-slot, the locking mechanism includes a T-plate, the sliding seat is sleeved on the outside of the main beam, the T-plate is disposed in the T-slot, and the T-plate is connected to the sliding seat by screws.

Detailed Implementation

[0014] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0015] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", "clockwise" and "counterclockwise" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0016] Example 1 like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a photovoltaic panel mounting bracket includes: a base 1, a column 2, a main beam 3, and a secondary beam 4.

[0017] There are four bases 1, which are arranged at equal intervals along the horizontal direction. Each base 1 is equipped with a column 2, and the top of the column 2 is fixed to the crossbar 5 by the first clamp 21. The crossbar 5 is a hollow cylindrical bar.

[0018] There are four main beams 3 and four secondary beams 4. The main beams 3 and the secondary beams 4 are arranged longitudinally and laterally, and the secondary beams 4 are fixedly connected to the main beams 3 to form a frame structure for fixing the photovoltaic panels 7. A connecting seat 31 is provided at the bottom center of the main beam 3. The connecting seat 31 has a slot 311 that cooperates with the crossbar 5. The connecting seat 31 can be locked onto the crossbar 5 from top to bottom through the slot 311, so that the main beam 3 can rotate around the crossbar 5 in the vertical plane.

[0019] In this embodiment, the number of main beams 3 is the same as the number of bases 1. Each main beam 3 is provided with a connecting seat 31 at its bottom end. The connecting seat 31 includes two side plates 312. The two side plates 312 are located on both sides of the corresponding first clamp 21. During assembly, the lateral position of the main beam 3 can be restricted by the cooperation of the side plates 312 and the first clamp 21.

[0020] Preferably, the first clamp 21 includes two clamping rings, which are fixedly connected by bolts. The bottom of the lower clamping ring is provided with a sleeve 211, which can be fitted onto the top of the column 2. The sleeve 211 is fixedly connected to the column 2 by bolts.

[0021] Two sliding seats 6 are provided on the leftmost and rightmost main beams 3, distributed on the front and rear sides of the connecting seat 31. The sliding seats 6 can slide along the main beam 3, and a locking mechanism 6 is provided on the sliding seats 6 to fix the sliding seats 6 and the main beam 3 relatively. Specifically, the locking mechanism 6 includes a T-shaped plate 611 and screws 612. The main beam 3 has a T-shaped groove 32, and the T-shaped plate 611 is set in the T-shaped groove 32 and can slide along the T-shaped groove 32. Two screw holes are opened on the T-shaped plate 611, and the T-shaped plate 611 is fixedly connected to the sliding seat 6 by two screws 612. When the screws 612 are tightened, the upper surface of the T-shaped plate 611 will abut against the inner wall of the T-shaped groove 32, so that the sliding seat 6 and the main beam 3 are relatively fixed.

[0022] The base 1 is a circular cylinder. The base 1 on the leftmost and rightmost sides is fitted with a second clamp 12. The front and rear sides of the second clamp 12 are hinged with support rods 11. The other ends of the two support rods 11 are respectively hinged to the bottom of the two sliding seats 6.

[0023] In this embodiment, the support rod 11 and the sliding seat 6 are located on the far left and far right of the mounting bracket, respectively. This structure makes it convenient for operators to loosen the screws 612 on the sliding seat 6 to adjust the inclination angle of the main beam 3.

[0024] As described above, the mounting bracket in this embodiment has a simple and reasonable structure, and the installation process does not require welding. Most parts are fixed together by bolts / screws, making assembly convenient.

[0025] When it is necessary to adjust the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel 7: Loosen all the screws 612 that fix the T-shaped plate 611, so that the sliding seat 6 is released from the main beam 3 (note that it is not necessary to completely remove the screws 612 from the sliding seat 6). At this time, the sliding seat 6 can move along the main beam 3. Rotate the main beam 3 to adjust the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel 6, such as... Figure 3 As shown; After the photovoltaic panel 6 is rotated to the corresponding tilt angle, tighten all the screws 612 that fix the T-shaped plate 611 so that the sliding seat 6 is fixed relative to the main beam 3, thereby fixing the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel 6.

[0026] Preferably, when adjusting the tilt angle of the main beam 3, the main beam 3 can be driven to rotate by a transmission structure such as a hydraulic rod or a jack, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the main beam 3. For example, a jack can be fixedly installed on one of the bases 1, and the lifting column of the jack can be connected to the main beam 3. When the screw 612 on the sliding seat 6 is loosened, the main beam 3 can be lifted by the jack to adjust the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel 7. Adjusting the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel 3 by setting a transmission structure is a common method used by those skilled in the art. The innovation of this application mainly lies in the structure of the mounting bracket, which will not be elaborated on here.

The scope of protection of this utility model is determined by the claims. Any equivalent modifications based on the technical teachings of this utility model are also within the scope of protection of this utility model.
