Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic installation technology, specifically to an auxiliary support structure for photovoltaic panels used in photovoltaic installation. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of renewable energy technologies, solar photovoltaic power generation has been widely applied. In the construction of photovoltaic power plants, the installation of photovoltaic panels is a fundamental yet demanding task.

[0003] Referring to the patent document: Patent Publication No. CN222620926U, Patent Publication Date 2025-03-14, a special auxiliary support for photovoltaic module installation is provided, including a lower column of the photovoltaic support. An auxiliary frame is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the lower column of the photovoltaic support by multiple support clamps of different heights. The outer wall of the auxiliary frame is horizontally fixed with upper suspension rods arranged in opposite directions at different heights. The bottom end of the upper suspension rod and the support clamp are connected to the lower suspension rod with an inclined lower suspension rod. A reinforcing rod is fixed between the upper suspension rod and the lower suspension rod. A limit block is fixed on the upper suspension rod. The top of the multiple upper suspension rods located on the same side is supported by a scaffolding board. This auxiliary support can overcome the adverse effects of uneven construction sites, deep silt, and weak foundations in photovoltaic plant areas, which are not conducive to scaffolding erection. Furthermore, the scaffolding structure is simplified through the stress study of the photovoltaic support, making the scaffolding easier to install and accelerating the construction progress.

[0004] Based on the search of patent numbers and the shortcomings of existing technologies, the following was found:

[0005] Currently, the installation of photovoltaic panels relies heavily on manual handling and positioning. Due to the large area, heavy weight, and susceptibility to damage of photovoltaic panels, lifting and fixing them onto mounting frames with a certain angle requires multiple operators working together, resulting in high labor intensity and low efficiency. Furthermore, there is a safety risk that the photovoltaic panels may slip, bump, or even be damaged due to unstable support. Although workers often use trolleys to move photovoltaic panels during installation, trolleys cannot provide stable fixation or adapt to the installation environment to assist in the installation. Multiple workers are still required to lift and place the panels onto the mounting frames for installation and fixation.

[0006] Therefore, this utility model provides an auxiliary support structure for photovoltaic panels used in photovoltaic installation. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the issues of existing installation methods relying on manual handling and requiring multiple people to work together, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an auxiliary support structure for photovoltaic panels used in photovoltaic installation.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a photovoltaic panel auxiliary support structure for photovoltaic installation, comprising a base plate, wherein two base plates are symmetrically distributed, and an adjustment mechanism is provided on the upper part of the two base plates to facilitate the transfer and installation of the photovoltaic panels. The adjustment mechanism includes:

[0009] The limiting assembly includes a cylinder disposed at the top center of two base plates. Two symmetrically distributed casters are fixedly installed at the bottom of each of the two base plates. A chassis is provided at the bottom of each of the two base plates. The drive end of the cylinder is fixedly installed at the top center of each of the two chassis. A lower support rod is fixedly installed at the top center of each of the two base plates. An upper support rod is slidably engaged at the center of each of the two lower support rods. A groove is provided at the upper part of each of the two upper support rods.

[0010] The telescopic assembly, located in the middle of the upper support rod, is used to adjust the height of the box slot.

[0011] Preferably, the telescopic assembly includes a spring fixedly installed on the lower part of the upper support rod, and a limit pin is fixedly installed on one side of each of the two springs, with the two limit pins slidingly passing through one side of the upper support rod.

[0012] Preferably, the lower part of both chassis is provided with multiple evenly distributed mounting grooves, and anti-slip plates are glued to the middle of the bottom of both chassis.

[0013] Preferably, both ends of the lower part of the box groove are mounted on the upper part of the upper support rod through damping bearings, and the box groove has a U-shaped structure.

[0014] Preferably, a telescopic rod is fixedly installed on the lower part of each of the two upper support rods, and the middle part of one end of each of the two limiting pins is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the telescopic rod.

[0016] Beneficial effects

[0017] This utility model provides an auxiliary support structure for photovoltaic panels used in photovoltaic installation. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. This application, by setting up a support frame structure that can be used for transferring and supporting photovoltaic panels, enables installers to quickly and effortlessly move photovoltaic panels during installation. At the same time, when installed in a suitable position, the damping bearing limits the box groove, allowing the box groove to tilt synchronously with the photovoltaic panel. Under the friction limit of the chassis, the lower part of the photovoltaic panel is held in place, ensuring the stability of the photovoltaic panel when installed on an inclined surface, preventing it from sliding down, reducing labor intensity, and avoiding shaking of the photovoltaic panel during installation.

[0019] 2. This application enables the height of the box groove to be adjusted through the upper and lower support rods, allowing the height of the box groove to be flexibly adjusted according to the installation height of the photovoltaic panel mounting frame. This ensures that the support device can always support the lower part of the photovoltaic panel during installation, guaranteeing stability during installation, and also allowing the device to adapt to different installation requirements.

[0026] 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.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: a photovoltaic panel auxiliary support structure for photovoltaic installation, including a base plate 1, with two symmetrically distributed base plates 1. An adjustment mechanism 2 is provided on the upper part of the two base plates 1 to facilitate the transfer and installation of the photovoltaic panels. The adjustment mechanism 2 includes:

[0028] The limiting assembly 21 includes a cylinder 211 disposed at the center of the top of each of the two base plates 1. Two symmetrically distributed casters 213 are fixedly installed at the bottom of each of the two base plates 1. A chassis 212 is provided at the bottom of each of the two base plates 1. The driving end of the cylinder 211 is fixedly installed at the center of the top of each chassis 212. The chassis 212 can be raised and lowered by the extension and retraction of the cylinder 211, thereby completing the movement and fixing switching of the support structure. When it needs to stop, the chassis 212 contacts the ground, and the friction with the ground limits the entire device. Lower support rods 214 are fixedly installed at the center of the top of each of the two base plates 1. Each sliding bracket is equipped with an upper support rod 215, and a box groove 216 is provided on the upper part of the two upper support rods 215. When it is necessary to move and install the photovoltaic panel, the lower part of the photovoltaic panel is placed in the middle of the box groove 216. At this time, the operator supports the photovoltaic panel and moves it under the action of the caster wheel 213. When it reaches the designated position, the cylinder 211 drives the chassis 212 downward to make it contact the ground. The friction limits the lower support device of the photovoltaic panel. At this time, the photovoltaic panel can be tilted to make it fit with the photovoltaic panel mounting frame on one side for installation and fixation. At this time, the box groove 216 is in a tilted state, which can support the lower part of the photovoltaic panel.

[0029] The telescopic component 22 is located in the middle of the upper support rod 215 and is used to adjust the height of the box groove 216.

[0030] The telescopic assembly 22 includes springs 221 fixedly installed on the lower part of the upper support rod 215. Limit pins 223 are fixedly installed on one side of each of the two springs 221. Both limit pins 223 slide through one side of the upper support rod 215. By pressing the limit pins 223, the springs 221 are squeezed, and the height of the upper support rod 215 can be adjusted so that it can be adjusted according to the installation height of the photovoltaic panel.

[0031] Both chassis 212 have multiple evenly distributed mounting slots 2121 on their lower parts. These mounting slots 2121 allow for use with fasteners such as bolts. When the ground is muddy, a chassis with protrusions can be installed at the bottom of the chassis 212 to allow it to be inserted into the ground for positioning and fixation. Anti-slip plates 2122 are glued to the middle of the bottom of both chassis 212. These anti-slip plates 2122 effectively increase the coefficient of friction with the ground and prevent displacement during support.

[0032] Both ends of the lower part of the slot 216 are mounted on the upper part of the upper support rod 215 through damping bearings. The slot 216 has a U-shaped structure. By setting damping bearings, the slot 216 can be positioned at any angle, which is convenient to adapt to the installation requirements of photovoltaic panels with different tilt angles.

[0033] The lower part of each of the two upper support rods 215 is fixedly installed with a telescopic rod 222, and the middle of one end of each of the two limiting pins 223 is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 222. By setting the telescopic rod 222, it is possible to ensure the stability of the limiting pin 223 in supporting and limiting the upper support rod 215, and at the same time, it is possible to ensure the stability of the telescopic movement of the limiting pin 223, and avoid the telescopic movement deviation that would prevent it from being able to be smoothly locked into the corresponding locking hole 224.

[0034] Multiple equally spaced locking holes 224 are provided on the middle of one side of each of the two lower support rods 214. The multiple locking holes 224 are used in conjunction with the limiting pins 223. By setting multiple locking holes 224, the height can be adjusted by inserting the limiting pins 223 into the locking holes 224 at different heights.

[0035] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0036] During operation, when it is necessary to move or install photovoltaic panels, the operator activates cylinder 211, causing its drive end to retract and lifting the chassis 212, thus lifting the anti-slip plate 2122 off the ground. At this time, the weight of the entire device is supported by the omnidirectional wheels 213 at the bottom. The operator can easily move the support structure containing the photovoltaic panels to the target installation position, just like pushing a handcart. Once the device reaches the designated installation point, cylinder 211 is activated again, causing its drive end to extend and push the chassis 212 downward until the anti-slip plate 2122 at the bottom makes close contact with the ground. Friction is used to limit and fix the entire device, preventing slippage during installation. Before placing the photovoltaic panel, the operator can press the limiting pin 223 according to the height of the photovoltaic panel mounting frame, so that it compresses the spring 221 and exits from the current locking hole 224. Then, the upper support rod 215 is pulled up and down to slide in the lower support rod 214. When the desired height is adjusted, the limiting pin 223 is released. Under the restoring force of the spring 221, the limiting pin 223 will automatically spring into the locking hole 224 of the corresponding height, thereby locking the support height.

[0037] Since the trough 216 is mounted on the top of the upper support rod 215 via a damping bearing, the operator can apply a certain force to make the trough 216 (along with the photovoltaic panel supported inside it) rotate around the axis, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel to match the preset tilt angle of the mounting frame. The characteristics of the damping bearing allow the trough 216 to maintain its position at any angle, which is convenient for alignment and installation. When the angle of the photovoltaic panel is adjusted to the correct position, its edge can fit against the mounting frame, and the device can hold the photovoltaic panel at the bottom to ensure that the photovoltaic panel will not slip when installed on the inclined slope. At this time, the operator can free up their hands or use tools to firmly fix the photovoltaic panel on the mounting frame.
