Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic module installation technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic module installation and storage device. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread application of photovoltaic power generation technology, the demand for photovoltaic module installation and maintenance is increasing. Some existing photovoltaic panels are directly installed via brackets, with few protective storage mechanisms. When exposed to severe weather, such as hail, the exposed photovoltaic panels may be damaged and rendered unusable, failing to meet new usage requirements, as illustrated in patent CN218162258U.

[0003] Existing photovoltaic panel installation mechanisms with storage structures lack effective airtight protection for photovoltaic modules when stored, making them prone to accumulating dust, gravel, leaves, and other debris. Long-term exposure to rain, snow, ultraviolet radiation, and other environments can accelerate aging, reduce efficiency, and even cause physical damage (such as hail). The opening, closing, unfolding, or storage process of photovoltaic panel installation mechanisms may be quite complex, requiring multiple people or specialized tools, making them inconvenient and inefficient.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a photovoltaic module installation and storage device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a highly integrated, easy-to-operate, and highly protective photovoltaic module installation and storage device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a photovoltaic module installation and storage device, comprising a base, a storage box disposed on the base, a support frame assembly, and a movable cover assembly. The storage box has an opening at the top, and the movable cover assembly is disposed on the opening of the storage box. The movable cover assembly includes two telescopic cover plates disposed on the opening, which move left and right respectively to open or close the storage box. Each of the two telescopic cover plates has a semi-circular groove. When the two telescopic cover plates are in contact, the two semi-circular grooves align to form a circular groove. A photovoltaic module is installed at the top of the support frame assembly. The support frame assembly includes a lifting rod and a mounting seat disposed at the top of the lifting rod. The lifting rod is disposed inside the storage box, and the mounting seat and the photovoltaic module installed on it are raised and lowered under the action of the lifting rod. The inner diameter of the circular groove is larger than the outer diameter of the lifting rod.

[0007] As a further improvement of the present invention, the storage box includes a fixed box body with an upper opening and a movable box body with upper and lower openings on the base. The movable box body is fitted inside the fixed box body and slides vertically and vertically relative to the fixed box body. The movable cover assembly is provided on the movable box body.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, it also includes telescopic support rods disposed on both sides of the storage box. The bottom end of the telescopic support rod is connected to the base, and the top end of the telescopic support rod is connected to the movable box body to drive the movable box body to move up and down.

[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, the top end of the telescopic support rod is provided with a cover plate storage part corresponding to the telescopic cover plate. The cover plate storage part has a storage cavity for storing the telescopic cover plate. A telescopic drive component for driving the telescopic cover plate to move left and right is also provided between the telescopic cover plate and the cover plate storage part. The cover plate storage part is fixed to both sides of the upper end of the movable box.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the telescopic cover is provided with guide rails on both sides, and the storage cavity wall of the cover storage part is provided with guide grooves that cooperate with the guide rails. The telescopic cover slides along the guide grooves under the drive of the telescopic drive member.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, the telescopic cover plate is provided with a semi-circular part that opens and closes via a hinge. When the semi-circular part is closed, it engages with the semi-circular groove.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, the semicircular portion includes a semi-annular plate, a semi-circular plate, and a hinge connecting the semi-annular plate and the semi-circular plate, and a sealing gasket is provided between the semi-annular plate and the semi-circular plate.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, magnetic sheets are embedded on the surfaces where the semicircular groove and the semicircular part are in contact.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, sealing gaskets are provided on the sides where the two telescopic cover plates meet.

[0015] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the photovoltaic module installation and storage device of this utility model has the following advantages: By combining a storage box with a telescopic cover to form a closed protective space, the photovoltaic modules can be completely stored inside when idle or in severe weather, avoiding the accumulation of sand and dust and the impact of wind and rain. The cleanliness of the photovoltaic panel surface is greatly improved, the damage rate is reduced, and the service life is greatly extended.

[0016] By setting up a lifting rod to drive the photovoltaic module to rise and fall, and combining the angle adjustment potential of the mounting base, the angle of the photovoltaic module can be set according to the solar altitude angle of the installation location to maximize the reception of sunlight; the circular groove design formed by the telescopic cover plate ensures that the lifting and falling of the support rod is not obstructed by the cover plate, ensuring a smooth and stable adjustment process.

[0017] The telescopic design of the storage box greatly reduces the size of the device when stored, making it easy to transport by vehicle and deploy outdoors. The opening and closing of the cover and the raising and lowering of the support rod can be controlled manually or electrically, and a single person can complete the switch from storage to working mode in a short time.

[0018] The matching design of the circular groove and the support rod ensures free lifting and lowering, while also forming a radial limit when closed, reducing the swaying amplitude in strong wind environments such as typhoons and improving structural stability. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a photovoltaic module installation and storage device, which includes a base 10, a storage box 20 disposed on the base 10, a support frame assembly 30 for carrying photovoltaic modules disposed in the storage box 20, telescopic support rods 40 disposed on both sides of the storage box 20, and a movable cover assembly 50 disposed on the top of the storage box 20.

[0027] The base 10 is used to install and integrate the above components. As a unified base, the base (10) ensures that the relative positions of all components are fixed and the overall compactness is maintained in the storage and working states, which greatly reduces the number of loose parts and the overall volume occupied.

[0028] The storage box 20 is mounted on the base 10, with an opening at the top and is extendable vertically. Specifically, in this embodiment, the storage box 20 includes a fixed box 21 with an upper opening mounted on the base 10 and a movable box 22 with openings at both the top and bottom. The movable box 22 is fitted inside the fixed box 21 and slides vertically and sealingly relative to the fixed box 21. With this configuration, the overall volume of the storage box 20 can increase or decrease during the movement of the movable box 22. Furthermore, when the movable box 22 moves downwards, the support frame assembly 30, carrying the photovoltaic module, is exposed through the upper opening of the movable box 22; when the movable box 22 moves upwards, the support frame assembly 30 can be retracted into it.

[0029] Please participate together Figure 4 As shown, the support frame assembly 30 includes a lifting rod 31 and a mounting base 32 located at the top of the lifting rod 31. The photovoltaic module is mounted on the mounting base 32. The lifting rod is located inside the storage box 20, and the mounting base 32 and the photovoltaic module mounted on it are raised and lowered by the lifting rod 31. The lifting rod 31 is configured in conjunction with the movable box 22, which moves up and down, thereby increasing the height difference between the photovoltaic module and the opening of the movable box. When the photovoltaic module needs to work efficiently, it can be raised to a higher position by the lifting rod 31, increasing the height difference with the opening of the movable box 22. On the one hand, this reduces the shading of the photovoltaic module by the movable box 22, ensuring that it receives more sunlight, especially during periods of low solar altitude angle such as sunrise and sunset, effectively avoiding the influence of the box's shadow. On the other hand, the higher installation height reduces the shading interference from ground obstacles (such as weeds and low buildings), widening the range of sunlight reception.

[0030] Preferably, the mounting base 32 is mounted on the lifting rod 31 via an angle adjustment component 33. This configuration allows the angle of the mounting base 32 and the photovoltaic modules on it to be adjusted according to the solar altitude angle of the installation location, maximizing the reception of sunlight.

[0031] Multiple telescopic support rods 40 are arranged in two groups on both sides of the storage box 20. The bottom end of the telescopic support rod 40 is connected to the base 10, and the top end of the telescopic support rod 40 is connected to the movable box 22 through the movable cover assembly 50, so as to drive the movable box 22 to move up and down.

[0032] The movable cover assembly 50 is located on the opening of the storage box 20, specifically on the opening of the movable box body 21. The movable cover assembly 50 includes two telescopic cover plates 51 located on the left and right sides of the opening, a telescopic drive member 53 corresponding to each telescopic cover plate 51 and driving the telescopic cover plate 51 to move left and right, and a cover plate storage part 52. The cover plate storage part 52 is fixed to both sides of the upper end of the movable box body 22. The cover plate storage part 52 has a storage cavity for storing the telescopic cover plates 51, with the opening of the storage cavity facing the horizontal side, i.e., the side where the telescopic cover plate 51 extends. The telescopic drive member 53 is preferably an electric telescopic rod, which is arranged in the left-right direction, with one end fixed to the top of the cover plate storage part 52 and the other end fixed to the top of the telescopic cover plate 51. The two telescopic cover plates 51 move left and right respectively under the drive of the telescopic drive member 53 to open or close the storage box 20.

[0033] Preferably, the telescopic cover 51 is provided with guide rails on both sides, and the storage cavity wall of the cover storage part 52 is provided with guide grooves that cooperate with the guide rails. The telescopic cover 51 slides along the guide grooves under the drive of the telescopic drive member 53. The guide rails on both sides of the telescopic cover 51 and the guide grooves of the cover storage part 52 form a precisely matched guiding structure, which can strictly limit the movement trajectory of the telescopic cover and avoid deviation or tilting during sliding. The telescopic support rod 40 is located below the cover storage part 52, and the top end of the telescopic support rod 40 is connected to the cover storage part 52. The telescopic support rod 40 is connected to the movable box 22 through the cover storage part 52, that is, when the telescopic support rod 40 extends or retracts, the cover storage part 52 and the movable box 22 rise and fall synchronously under the drive of the telescopic support rod 40.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, each of the two telescopic cover plates 51 has a semi-circular groove 510. When the two telescopic cover plates 51 are in contact, the two semi-circular grooves 510 align to form a circular groove, the inner diameter of which is larger than the outer diameter of the lifting rod 31. Each telescopic cover plate 51 has a semi-circular portion that opens and closes via a hinge 511. When closed, the semi-circular portion engages with the semi-circular groove 510. The semi-circular portion includes a semi-annular plate 512, a semi-circular plate 514, and a hinge 513 connecting the semi-annular plate 512 and the semi-circular plate 514. A sealing gasket is provided between the semi-annular plate 512 and the semi-circular plate 514. Magnetic sheets 515 are embedded in the surfaces where the semi-circular groove 510 and the semi-circular portion contact each other, making the adsorption tighter and preventing external debris from being blown in by the wind. Sealing gaskets are provided on the mating sides of both telescopic cover plates 51.

[0035] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: Initially, the telescopic support rod 40 is in the extended state, the two telescopic drive components 53 retract, and after the telescopic cover plate 51 returns to the cover plate storage part 52, the state of the telescopic support rod 40 is lowered, the movable box 22 descends, and the lifting rod 31 rises, leaving enough installation space for easy operation. At this time, the height of the lifting rod 31 is adjusted, the photovoltaic panel is installed on the mounting base 32, and other components are installed in the fixed box 21.

[0036] After installation, the two telescopic drive components 53 extend, and the two telescopic cover plates 51 begin to align. Depending on the outer diameter of the lifting rod 31, the semi-circular plate 514 or the entire semi-circular part is selectively opened to make way for the lifting rod 31, so that the telescopic cover plate 51 fits and seals with the outer diameter of the lifting rod 31.

[0037] When encountering severe weather or when storage is required, the two telescopic drive components 53 retract, the telescopic support rod 40 retracts, the movable box 22 descends, the height of the lifting rod 31 is adjusted to retract the photovoltaic module, and then the telescopic support rod 40 extends to raise the movable box 22 to cover the photovoltaic module. The two telescopic drive components 53 extend, and the two telescopic cover plates 51 are directly connected to complete the storage.
