Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic support technology, specifically a photovoltaic support with anti-tipping function. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic support structures are a core component of photovoltaic power generation systems. Their main function is to stably support photovoltaic panels. Currently, existing photovoltaic support structures lack stability after installation and are easily affected by external factors such as strong winds and vibrations, resulting in tilting or even toppling. This not only affects the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panels but may also cause equipment damage.

[0003] As disclosed in the prior art, Chinese utility model publication CN222215617U discloses a photovoltaic bracket for installation on a crossbeam. This photovoltaic bracket includes a bracket and a fixing component. The bracket includes an inwardly recessed bracket slot. The fixing component is connected to the lower part of the bracket and includes a horizontal plate parallel to the length of the bracket and a telescopic component fixed perpendicularly to the horizontal plate. The telescopic component includes a telescopic shell with a hollow interior forming a receiving cavity, a pressing fixing component penetrating one side of the telescopic shell, and a vertical plate that can slide within the receiving cavity. A clamping plate perpendicular to the vertical plate is fixedly connected to the end of the vertical plate away from the horizontal plate. In this structure, clamping and fixing are achieved solely by the horizontal plate and the clamping plate. During long-term use, the bracket is prone to shifting or tipping under the influence of external forces such as wind and vibration, thus exhibiting the aforementioned problem of insufficient installation stability of the photovoltaic bracket. Therefore, we need to propose a photovoltaic bracket with an anti-tipping function. Utility Model Content

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0023] A photovoltaic support bracket with anti-tipping function includes: a crossbeam 1; a support body 2, with a mounting frame 3 installed at the bottom of the support body 2, the mounting frame 3 being installed on the outside of the crossbeam 1; a locking mechanism 4 for lateral limiting and locking the mounting frame 3, the locking mechanism 4 being disposed inside the mounting frame 3; and a fixing mechanism 5 for longitudinal limiting and fixing the mounting frame 3, the fixing mechanism 5 being disposed at the bottom of the mounting frame 3.

[0024] By setting up the bracket body 2, mounting frame 3, and crossbeam 1, and cooperating with the longitudinal limiting snap-fit ​​mechanism 4 and the lateral limiting fixing mechanism 5, a double limiting structure is formed. The snap-fit ​​mechanism 4 is located inside the mounting frame 3 and is used for lateral limiting snap-fit. It can stably limit the relative displacement of the mounting frame 3 and the crossbeam 1 in the lateral direction, providing reliable support for the longitudinal stability of the bracket and avoiding bracket offset due to lateral loosening. It is an important foundation for realizing the anti-tipping function. The fixing mechanism 5 is located at the bottom of the mounting frame 3 and is used for longitudinal limiting and fixing. It can firmly connect the mounting frame 3 and the crossbeam 1 in the longitudinal direction, effectively limiting the lateral relative movement of the two and preventing bracket offset due to longitudinal force. In conjunction with the snap-fit ​​mechanism 4, it further enhances the overall anti-tipping capability of the bracket, ensures the stable posture of the photovoltaic panel, thereby maintaining its power generation efficiency and reducing the risk of equipment damage.

[0025] Specifically, the snap-fit ​​mechanism 4 includes multiple snap-fit ​​blocks 41 and multiple snap-fit ​​grooves 42; the multiple snap-fit ​​blocks 41 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the crossbeam 1, and two sets of snap-fit ​​grooves 42 for snap-fit ​​blocks 41 to snap on both sides inside the mounting frame 3.

[0026] By setting multiple sets of snap-fit ​​blocks 41 and multiple sets of snap-fit ​​slots 42, the snap-fit ​​slots 42 on both sides of the inside of the mounting frame 3 are aligned with the snap-fit ​​blocks 41 on both sides of the crossbeam 1, which can realize the lateral limiting snap-fit ​​between the mounting frame 3 and the crossbeam 1. This can stably limit the relative displacement between the two in the longitudinal direction, avoid the bracket offset caused by longitudinal loosening, and provide a reliable guarantee for the longitudinal stability of the photovoltaic bracket.

[0027] The fixing mechanism 5 includes a mounting base 51, two sets of fixing bases 52, multiple sets of threaded rods 53, multiple sets of knobs 54, and multiple sets of threaded holes 55. Both sets of fixing bases 52 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 3, and the interior of each of the two sets of fixing bases 52 is threaded with two sets of threaded rods 53. The multiple sets of threaded rods 53 are fixedly installed with knobs 54 on the side away from the mounting base 51. The mounting base 51 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the crossbeam 1, and two sets of threaded holes 55 are respectively opened on both sides of the mounting base 51 for threaded connection of the threaded rods 53.

[0028] By setting up mounting base 51, two sets of fixing bases 52, multiple sets of threaded rods 53, multiple sets of knobs 54 and multiple sets of threaded holes 55, the mounting frame 3 and the crossbeam 1 can be tightly fixed in the longitudinal direction by screwing the threaded rods 53 into the threaded holes 55. This can effectively tighten the mounting frame 3 and the crossbeam 1, restrict the longitudinal relative movement of the two, prevent the bracket from shifting due to longitudinal force, significantly improve the lateral stability of the photovoltaic bracket, and work together with the lateral locking mechanism 4 to enhance the overall anti-tipping ability.

[0029] In a further preferred embodiment, two sets of locking mechanisms 6 are also included to lock and fix the fixing mechanism 5, and the two sets of locking mechanisms 6 are disposed on the outside of the two sets of fixing seats 52.

[0030] With the setting of two sets of locking mechanisms 6, the two sets of locking mechanisms 6 can lock and fix the fixing mechanism 5, which can effectively prevent the fixing mechanism 5 from loosening due to external vibration, impact and other factors. By strengthening the stability of the fixing mechanism 5, it can prevent it from failing in long-term use, further improve the overall stability of the photovoltaic bracket, and provide additional protection for the anti-tipping function.

[0031] Specifically, the locking mechanism 6 includes a connecting seat 61, two sets of movable plates 62, two sets of limiting rods 63, two sets of limiting holes 64, and two sets of elastic elements 65. The connecting seat 61 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed seat 52. The two sets of movable plates 62 are slidably disposed inside the connecting seat 61. The two sets of elastic elements 65 are respectively disposed on the opposite side of the two sets of movable plates 62. The two sets of limiting rods 63 are respectively on the side of the movable plate 62 away from the elastic elements 65. Limiting holes 64 for the limiting rods 63 to be inserted are opened on the outer side of the two sets of knobs 54.

[0032] By setting up a connecting seat 61, two sets of moving plates 62, two sets of limiting rods 63, two sets of limiting holes 64, and two sets of elastic elements 65, the elastic force of the elastic element 65 pushes the moving plate 62, so that the limiting rod 63 automatically inserts into the limiting hole 64 of the knob 54, thereby achieving precise locking of the knob 54. This reliably limits the rotation of the knob 54, prevents the threaded rod 53 from loosening, ensures that the fixing mechanism 5 always remains in a tight state, and enhances the reliability and stability of the fixing mechanism 5.

[0033] Among them, the bottom of the two sets of movable plates 62 are respectively fixedly installed with a dial plate 7, and the bottom of the connecting seat 61 is symmetrically provided with two sets of through slots 8 for the dial plate 7 to move.

[0034] With the setting of the lever 7 and the through groove 8, the lever 7 at the bottom of the moving plate 62 and the through groove 8 at the bottom of the connecting seat 61 provide convenient force application points for the operation of the locking mechanism 6. By moving the lever 7, the moving plate 62 can be easily moved, realizing the separation of the limit rod 63 and the limit hole 64, which facilitates the release of the lock on the knob 54 and improves the operating efficiency.

[0035] Specifically, the elastic element 65 includes a fixed plate 651, multiple sets of guide rods 652, and multiple sets of return springs 653. The fixed plate 651 is fixedly installed inside the connecting seat 61, and multiple sets of guide rods 652 are fixedly installed on both sides of the fixed plate 651. The ends of the multiple sets of guide rods 652 away from the fixed plate 651 are fixedly installed on both sides inside the connecting seat 61. The multiple sets of return springs 653 are all sleeved on the outside of the multiple sets of guide rods 652.

[0036] With the arrangement of the fixed plate 651, multiple sets of guide rods 652, and multiple sets of return springs 653, the fixed plate 651 provides a fulcrum for the elastic element 65. The guide rods 652 guide the movement of the moving plate 62, ensuring that the moving plate 62 slides smoothly along a fixed trajectory and avoids deviation. The return springs 653 sleeved on the outside of the guide rods 652 provide continuous and stable elastic force, pushing the moving plate 62 to reset and making the limiting rod 63 tightly inserted into the limiting hole 64. The cooperation of the two can ensure that the locking action of the locking mechanism 6 is accurate and reliable, and enhance the stability of the locking mechanism 6.

[0037] Working principle: When using this utility model, the mounting bracket 3 is first placed on the outside of the crossbeam 1, so that the snap-fit ​​blocks 41 on both sides of the crossbeam 1 are snapped into the snap-fit ​​grooves 42 on both sides inside the mounting bracket 3. Through the cooperation of the snap-fit ​​blocks 41 and the snap-fit ​​grooves 42, the initial lateral limit between the mounting bracket 3 and the crossbeam 1 is achieved.

[0038] Subsequently, both sets of levers 7 are simultaneously moved inward. Levers 7 drive two sets of moving plates 62 to move inward synchronously along the guide rod 652 within the connecting seat 61. At this time, multiple sets of return springs 653 are compressed by inward pressure until the moving plate 62 drives the limiting rod 63 to disengage from the limiting hole 64, thus releasing the limitation on the knob 54.

[0039] Next, rotate knob 54, which drives threaded rod 53 to rotate, causing the end of threaded rod 53 away from knob 54 to screw into the threaded hole 55 corresponding to the mounting base 51 at the bottom of the crossbeam 1, thereby firmly fixing the mounting bracket 3 longitudinally to the crossbeam 1. After threaded rod 53 is fully screwed into threaded hole 55, release the lever 7, and the return spring 653 releases its elastic potential energy to push the moving plate 62 to reset until the limit rod 63 is reinserted into the limit hole 64 on knob 54. The locking mechanism 6 and threaded rod 53 on the other side are installed in the same way. Through the dual cooperation of lateral locking limit and longitudinal fixing limit, plus the anti-loosening effect of locking mechanism 6 on the fixed structure, the overall stability of photovoltaic bracket is effectively improved.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
