[0082] This application discloses a photovoltaic mounting bracket that is foldable, so that it can be folded up when not in use to reduce space occupation;

[0083] This application also discloses a photovoltaic module system having the above-described photovoltaic mounting bracket.

[0084] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, the embodiments shown below do not limit the scope of the application as described in the claims. Additionally, the complete composition represented in the embodiments below is not limited to what is necessary as the solution to the application described in the claims. It should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the application are shown in the drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other.

[0085] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the embodiments of this application, the photovoltaic mounting bracket is used to support the photovoltaic module 400, and is particularly suitable for installation in home spaces such as balconies, terraces or windowsills; of course, it can also be installed in other locations as needed, and is not limited to the home spaces listed above.

[0086] A photovoltaic mounting bracket is provided for connecting to a photovoltaic module 400. The bracket body 10 includes: a mounting pole 130 hinged to the photovoltaic module 400; a clamping assembly disposed on the mounting pole 130 for clamping the object to be installed 500 and folding or unfolding along with the mounting pole 130 in a first direction on the back side of the photovoltaic module 400; and a diagonal brace 140, the first end of which is hinged to the photovoltaic module 400 to adjust the support angle α between the mounting pole 130 and the photovoltaic module 400 in a second direction.

[0087] The photovoltaic mounting bracket provided in this application can be fixed to the photovoltaic module 400 via the bracket body 10, thereby enabling the installation of the photovoltaic module 400 on the photovoltaic mounting bracket. The clamping assembly can be used to fix the photovoltaic mounting bracket and the photovoltaic module 400 mounted on it to the object to be installed. When the photovoltaic module 400 system is not in use, the diagonal brace 140 is adjusted in the second direction to minimize the support angle α between the mounting pole 130 and the photovoltaic module 400, and the mounting pole 130 is folded in the first direction so that the mounting pole 130 and the clamping assembly are folded in the first direction on the back side of the photovoltaic module 400. This reduces the overall size, minimizes space occupation, facilitates other activities on the balcony, and makes transportation easier and reduces transportation costs. When the photovoltaic module 400 is in use, the mounting pole 130 is unfolded in the first direction so that the mounting pole 130 and the clamping assembly are unfolded in the first direction on the back side of the photovoltaic module 400. The support member is adjusted in the second direction to ensure that the support angle α between the mounting pole 130 and the photovoltaic module 400 is at an appropriate angle.

[0088] It should be noted that the first direction and the second direction mentioned above are different directions. Figure 1 In this application, the first direction corresponds to the width direction of the photovoltaic module 400, and the second direction corresponds to the length direction of the photovoltaic module 400. The first direction and the second direction are generally perpendicular. In some other examples of this application, the angle between the first direction and the second direction may be less than 90°. As long as the bracket body 10 can be folded on the back side of the photovoltaic module 400, the first direction and the second direction are within the protection scope of this application.

[0089] The number of the aforementioned support body 10 can be one or at least two. When there is only one support body 10, it is usually arranged in the middle of the backlight side of the photovoltaic module 400. Of course, this does not mean that a support body 10 can only be arranged in the middle of the backlight side of the photovoltaic module 400; it can also be arranged at the edge of the photovoltaic module 400. This application focuses on the case where there are two support bodies 10.

[0090] The number of support bodies 10 includes two, namely a first support body 100 and a second support body 200, which are respectively connected to two opposite frames of the photovoltaic module 400.

[0091] The photovoltaic mounting bracket includes a first bracket body 100 and a second bracket body 200, which are used to fix the photovoltaic module 400 on both sides respectively.

[0092] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, both the first support body 100 and the second support body 200 include a mounting pole 130, a diagonal brace 140, and a clamping assembly. It should be noted that the basic structures of the first support body 100 and the second support body 200 are the same. Since the first support body 100 and the second support body 200 are fixed to both sides of the photovoltaic module 400, the only difference lies in the direction of the components connected to the photovoltaic module 400. Of course, it is also possible that, for the purpose of installing other components, only one of the corresponding components may be installed on the first support body 100 and the second support body 200. For ease of understanding, in this embodiment, the structurally identical parts of the first support body 100 and the second support body 200 are described uniformly.

[0093] A first frame bracket 150 is hinged to the mounting pole 130 via a universal joint. The first frame bracket 150 can be attached to the frame 401 of the photovoltaic module 400 and can be locked with fasteners to achieve relative fixation between the first frame bracket 150 and the photovoltaic module 400. The angle between the first frame bracket 150 and the mounting pole 130 is adjustable to accommodate the angle adjustment of the photovoltaic module 400. It should be noted that the first frame bracket 150 can also be omitted, and the mounting pole 130 can be directly hinged to the frame 401 of the photovoltaic module 400 via the universal joint. The universal joint has multiple rotation directions, which not only allows for the angle adjustment of the photovoltaic module 400, but also allows the mounting pole 130 to be rotated and pressed firmly against the photovoltaic module 400.

[0094] The clamping assembly is mounted on the mounting post 130 and is used to clamp the object to be installed 500. Please refer to... Figure 2As shown, the clamping assembly may include a clamping crossbeam 120 and a clamping vertical beam 110. The clamping vertical beam 110 is connected to the mounting pole 130 via the clamping crossbeam 120, forming a clamping space between the clamping vertical beam 110 and the mounting pole 130 for clamping the object to be installed 500. The clamping crossbeam 120 is a telescopic crossbeam, allowing the width of the clamping space to be adjusted. When it is necessary to clamp the photovoltaic mounting bracket onto the object to be installed 500, the clamping crossbeam 120 can be lengthened so that the width of the clamping space is greater than the thickness of the object to be installed 500, facilitating clamping. After clamping onto the object to be installed 500, the length of the clamping crossbeam 120 can be shortened, allowing the clamping vertical beam 110 and the mounting pole 130 to tightly clamp the object to be installed 500. It should be noted that the clamping component is not limited to the above structure. As long as it can clamp the object to be installed 500, it is acceptable. This embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the clamping component.

[0095] Taking the application of this photovoltaic mounting bracket to a balcony as an example, the object to be installed 500 can be the wall of the balcony, and the clamping space can be directly clamped to the wall. Of course, it can also be clamped to the balcony railing. In this embodiment, the specific structure of the object to be installed 500 is not limited.

[0096] The first end of the aforementioned diagonal brace 140 is hinged to the photovoltaic module 400, and the second end can cooperate with the mounting pole 130 to adjust the angle between the mounting pole 130 and the photovoltaic module 400. Specifically, the second end of the diagonal brace 140 can be detachably connected to the mounting pole 130, and the position of the second end of the diagonal brace 140 on the mounting pole 130 can be adjusted by detachment, thereby adjusting the angle between the photovoltaic module 400 and the mounting pole 130; or the second end of the diagonal brace 140 can be slidably engaged with the mounting pole 130, and the position of the second end of the diagonal brace 140 on the mounting pole 130 can be adjusted by sliding, thereby adjusting the angle between the photovoltaic module 400 and the mounting pole 130; or the second end of the diagonal brace 140 is hinged to the mounting pole 130, and the mounting pole 130 is a telescopic structure, and the relative position of the diagonal brace 140 and the mounting pole 130 can be adjusted by telescopic adjustment, thereby adjusting the angle between the photovoltaic module 400 and the mounting pole 130.

[0097] The mounting pole 130 being hinged to the photovoltaic module 400 can be understood as being hinged to any position on the photovoltaic module, such as the back or frame. Any hinged connection between the mounting pole 130 and the photovoltaic module 400 is within the scope of this application. Similarly, the second end of the diagonal brace 140 can also be hinged to any position on the photovoltaic module 400, such as the back or frame.

[0098] The first end of the diagonal brace 140 is hinged to a second frame retainer 160. The second frame retainer 160 can be designed to have the same structure as the first frame retainer 150, or its structure can be different depending on the actual installation scenario to match specific installation requirements. The second frame retainer 160 can be attached to the frame 401 of the photovoltaic module 400 and locked with fasteners to achieve relative fixation between the second frame retainer 160 and the photovoltaic module 400. It should be noted that the second frame retainer 160 can also be omitted, and the first end of the diagonal brace 140 can be directly hinged to the frame 401 of the photovoltaic module 400. The first frame connector 150 and the second frame connector 160 of the first support body 100 are used to fix to the frame 401 on one side of the photovoltaic module 400. The first frame connector 150 and the second frame connector 160 of the second support body 200 are used to fix to the frame 401 on the other side of the photovoltaic module 400. The second end of the diagonal brace 140 is hinged to the mounting pole 130. The angle of the photovoltaic module 400 can be adjusted by fixing the second frame connector 160 at different positions on the frame 401, or by hinged the second end of the diagonal brace 140 to different positions on the mounting pole 130.

[0099] The photovoltaic mounting bracket disclosed in this application can be fixed to both sides of the photovoltaic module 400 via a first bracket body 100 and a second bracket body 200, thereby enabling the photovoltaic module 400 to be mounted on the photovoltaic mounting bracket. A clamping assembly can be used to fix the photovoltaic mounting bracket and the photovoltaic module 400 mounted on the photovoltaic mounting bracket to the object to be mounted 500. The mounting pole 130 is hinged to the photovoltaic module 400 via a universal joint assembly. One end of the diagonal brace 140 is rotatably connected to the photovoltaic module 400, and the other end is hinged to the mounting pole 130. Figure 18 As shown, when the photovoltaic module system is not in use, the diagonal brace 140 can be disconnected from the mounting pole 130, allowing the diagonal brace 140 to rotate on its own and fit snugly against the photovoltaic module 400. The mounting pole 130, along with its universal joint, will rotate together with its clamping joint to fit snugly against the photovoltaic module 400. This reduces the overall size, minimizes space occupation, facilitates other activities on the balcony, and makes transportation easier, reducing transportation costs.

[0100] In one specific embodiment of this application, the first end of the diagonal brace 140 can also be hinged to the frame 401 of the photovoltaic module 400 via a universal joint. When the photovoltaic mounting bracket needs to be folded, the universal joints on the mounting pole 130 and the first end of the diagonal brace 140 can be rotated, causing the mounting pole 130, the clamping assembly, and the diagonal brace 140 to rotate together until they are pressed tightly against the photovoltaic module 400, thus improving the folding efficiency of the photovoltaic mounting bracket.

[0101] When the first end of the diagonal brace 140 is not hinged to the frame 401 of the photovoltaic module 400 via the universal joint, it can also be detachably hinged to the mounting pole 130 via the second end of the diagonal brace 140, allowing the photovoltaic mounting bracket to be foldable. Simply detach the second end of the diagonal brace 140 from the mounting pole 130, and both the mounting pole 130 and the diagonal brace 140 can rotate independently and adhere tightly to the photovoltaic module 400.

[0102] The first frame connector 150 is hinged to the mounting pole 130 via a universal joint. The first frame connector 150 and the mounting pole 130 have multiple degrees of rotational freedom, allowing not only adjustment of the photovoltaic module 400 angle using the universal joint, but also, when the photovoltaic module system is folded, the mounting pole 130, along with the clamping crossbeam 120 and clamping vertical beam 110 connected to the mounting pole 130, to be deflected towards the central area of ​​the photovoltaic module 400, so that the mounting pole 130, clamping crossbeam 120, and clamping vertical beam 110 are attached to the back of the photovoltaic module 400 (e.g., ...). Figure 18 (As shown).

[0103] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown in a specific embodiment of this application, the universal assembly may include a universal hinge block 134 and a pole connector 133. The universal hinge block 134 includes two mutually perpendicular first hinge portions 1341 and second hinge portions 1342. The pole connector 133 is disposed on the mounting pole 130 and is hinged to one of the first hinge portions 1341 and the second hinge portion 1342. The first frame retaining member 150 is hinged to the other of the first hinge portions 1341 and the second hinge portion 1342. The first hinge portion 1341 and the second hinge portion 1342 may be hinge shafts or hinge holes. When the first hinge portion 1341 and the second hinge portion 1342 are hinge shafts, hinge holes that mate with the hinge shafts need to be provided on the upright connector 133 and the first frame retainer 150; when the first hinge portion 1341 and the second hinge portion 1342 are hinge holes, hinge shafts that mate with the hinge holes need to be provided on the upright connector 133 and the first frame retainer 150.

[0104] One of the first hinge portion 1341 and the second hinge portion 1342 is parallel to the plane of the photovoltaic module 400, for example, it can be parallel to the shorter frame of the photovoltaic module 400. When the photovoltaic module 400 rotates to be perpendicular to its longer frame, the other of the first hinge portion 1341 and the second hinge portion 1342 is parallel to the longer frame of the photovoltaic module 400. Taking the first hinge portion 1341 being parallel to the shorter frame of the photovoltaic module 400 as an example, this arrangement ensures that when the photovoltaic module 400 rotates along the first hinge portion 1341 to be close to the mounting pole 130, the clamping component cannot yet be close to the photovoltaic module 400. In this case, the clamping component can be made to be close to the photovoltaic module 400 by the mounting pole 130 wrapping around the second hinge portion 1342, thus reducing space occupation.

[0105] In this embodiment, the pole connector 133 and the first frame retainer 150 are respectively hinged to different hinge portions of the universal hinge block 134, thereby allowing the pole connector 133 and the first frame retainer 150 to rotate along different hinge portions. The rotation of the first frame retainer 150 can adjust the angle of the photovoltaic module 400; the rotation of the pole connector 133 can fold the pole connector 133 and the clamp crossbeam 120 and clamp vertical beam 110 connected to the pole connector 133 onto the back of the photovoltaic module 400.

[0106] The pole connector 133 is provided with a mating plate 1331, which is used to fit against the plate surface of the mounting pole 130 and is fixed by fasteners to realize the connection between the pole connector 133 and the mounting pole 130.

[0107] like Figures 9-13 As shown, in a specific embodiment of this application, the clamp beam 120 includes a first connecting arm 121, a second connecting arm 122, and an adjusting locking member 125. The first connecting arm 121 is connected to the mounting pole 130. Specifically, one end of the first connecting arm 121 has two parallel fastening plates, which can be clamped onto the outside of the mounting pole 130 and fixed by fasteners. It should be noted that the connection method between the first connecting arm 121 and the mounting pole 130 disclosed in the above embodiment is merely an example and does not constitute a limitation on the connection relationship between the two. Any method that can achieve the connection between the two is acceptable.

[0108] The second connecting arm 122 is connected to the clamp vertical beam 110. The second connecting arm 122 can be a channel steel structure. One end of the clamp vertical beam 110 can be inserted into the groove of the second connecting arm 122 and fixed by fasteners. The first connecting arm 121 and the second connecting arm 122 are slidably engaged. Specifically, the first connecting arm 121 can be inserted into the groove of the second connecting arm 122 to achieve a sliding engagement.

[0109] The adjusting locking member 125 is used to lock and release the connection between the first connecting arm 121 and the second connecting arm 122. When it is necessary to adjust the length of the clamp beam 120, the locking relationship between the first connecting arm 121 and the second connecting arm 122 needs to be loosened by adjusting the locking member 125, and then the first connecting arm 121 and the second connecting arm 122 are driven to slide relative to each other to change the length of the clamp beam 120. When the appropriate length is adjusted, the locking member 125 is rotated to lock the first connecting arm 121 and the second connecting arm 122, restricting the sliding relationship between the first connecting arm 121 and the second connecting arm 122, so that the length of the clamp beam 120 can be maintained.

[0110] Furthermore, the first connecting arm 121 is provided with a slide groove 1211, and the second connecting arm 122 is provided with an adjustment hole 1221 at a position corresponding to the slide groove 1211. The adjusting locking component 125 includes a locking block 1251 and a locking screw 1252, with the locking block 1251 slidingly engaged with the slide groove 1211. The slide groove 1211 can increase the limiting function of the locking block 1251, preventing the locking block 1251 from disengaging from the slide groove 1211 along the axial direction of the locking screw 1252. That is, along the axial direction of the locking screw 1252, the slide groove 1211 has a limiting stop that restricts the movement of the locking block 1251, preventing the locking block 1251 from disengaging from the slide groove 1211 when the locking screw 1252 is tightened. The locking block 1251 can slide into the slide groove 1211 from its end.

[0111] The locking screw 1252 passes through the adjusting hole 1221 and engages with the screw hole of the locking block 1251. When the first connecting arm 121 and the second connecting arm 122 are in the locked state, the locking block 1251 abuts against the inner wall of the slide groove 1211. By rotating the locking screw 1252, the position of the locking block 1251 can be adjusted. By changing the position of the locking block 1251, the friction between the locking block 1251 and the inner wall of the slide groove 1211 can be adjusted. When the locking block 1251 abuts against the inner wall of the slide groove 1211, the first connecting arm 121 and the second connecting arm 122 are locked. When the clamping force between the locking block 1251 and the inner wall of the slide groove 1211 is reduced, the locking block 1251 can slide along the slide groove 1211, thereby enabling the relative sliding of the first connecting arm 121 and the second connecting arm 122.

[0112] In one specific embodiment of this application, the clamp crossbeam 120 may further include an adjusting nut 124 and an adjusting screw 126. The adjusting nut 124 is disposed on the first connecting arm 121. To increase the adjustment range, the adjusting nut 124 has a larger axial length to increase the axial length of the threaded hole. The adjusting screw 126 passes through a through hole on the clamp vertical beam 110 and is threadedly engaged with the adjusting nut 124. After loosening the locking screw 1252, the relative sliding of the first connecting arm 121 and the second connecting arm 122 can be controlled by rotating the adjusting screw 126. By changing the rotation direction of the adjusting screw 126, the direction of relative sliding of the first connecting arm 121 and the second connecting arm 122 can be adjusted, thereby controlling whether the length of the clamp crossbeam 120 increases or decreases. After the clamp vertical beam 110 and the mounting rod 130 are attached to the body 500 to be installed, the locking screw 1252 can be tightened.

[0113] Furthermore, the clamp beam 120 may also include a bracket corner protector 123, which is sleeved on one end of the second connecting arm 122 connecting the clamp vertical beam 110. An adjusting screw 126 passes through the side wall of the bracket corner protector 123, such that the operating end of the adjusting screw 126 is located outside the bracket corner protector 123. In this embodiment, by providing the bracket corner protector 123, the end of the clamp beam 120 can be protected, preventing the sharp end of the second connecting arm 122 from injuring personnel and improving safety.

[0114] like Figure 9 As shown, in order to enable the clamping beam 110 and the mounting pole 130 to clamp the object to be installed 500 and improve the stability of the photovoltaic mounting bracket on the object to be installed 500, in a specific embodiment of this application, a clamping block 111 is slidably fitted on the clamping beam 110. The clamping block 111 can slide towards and away from the mounting pole 130. For example, a strip groove can be opened on the clamping block 111, and fasteners such as rivets and bolts 113 can pass through the strip groove and be fixed on the clamping beam 110. The clamping beam 110 can be a channel steel structure, which constrains the clamping block 111 within the groove of the clamping beam 110. The clamping block 111 can also slide within the degree of freedom of the strip groove by utilizing the cooperation between the strip groove and the fastener.

[0115] A clamping screw 112 is threaded onto the clamping beam 110. One end of the clamping screw 112 abuts against the clamping block 111, causing the clamping block 111 to press against the object to be installed 500. After the clamping beam 110 and the mounting rod 130 are clamped on both sides of the object to be installed 500, firstly, rotating the adjusting screw 126 controls the relative sliding of the first connecting arm 121 and the second connecting arm 122. After the clamping beam 110 and the mounting rod 130 are attached to the object to be installed 500, tighten the locking screw 1252. Then, rotate the clamping screw 112, which pushes the clamping block 111 to extend outward from the clamping beam 110 and press against the object to be installed 500. This ensures that the clamping beam 110 and the mounting rod 130 clamp the object to be installed 500, improving the stability of the photovoltaic mounting bracket on the object to be installed 500.

[0116] like Figure 4 As shown in a specific embodiment of this application, for ease of understanding, the connection point between the first frame bracket 150 and the mounting pole 130 is defined as the first connection point, and the hinge point between the diagonal brace 140 and the mounting pole 130 is defined as the second connection point. The connection point between the clamp beam 120 and the mounting pole 130 is located between the first and second connection points. After the photovoltaic mounting bracket is installed onto the object to be installed 500, the clamp beam 120 usually overlaps the top of the object to be installed 500, and the object to be installed 500 supports the clamp beam 120. If the clamp beam 120 is located at the first and second connection points, that is, the support point is arranged between the upper and lower frames of the photovoltaic module 400, it is easy to maintain balance. Of course, the clamp beam 120 can also be arranged on the side of the first connection point away from the second connection point, or the clamp beam 120 can be arranged on the side of the second connection point away from the first connection point.

[0117] like Figure 1 As shown, to improve the stability of the fixed photovoltaic module 400, the photovoltaic mounting bracket may further include a connecting beam 300. One end of the connecting beam 300 is connected to the mounting pole 130 of the first bracket body 100, and the other end is connected to the mounting pole 130 of the second bracket body 200. In this embodiment, the connecting beam 300 is provided between the first bracket body 100 and the second bracket body 200 to connect them, which can constrain the positions of the first bracket body 100 and the second bracket body 200 and prevent them from moving away from each other.

[0118] like Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the connecting beam 300 can be connected to the mounting pole 130 via a connecting bracket 132. The connecting bracket 132 includes a U-shaped groove 1321, which is fixed to the mounting pole 130. Specifically, the outer side of the bottom wall of the U-shaped groove 1321 can be fitted and fixed to the mounting pole 130, such that the opening side of the U-shaped groove 1321 faces the outer side of the mounting pole 130.

[0119] The end of the connecting beam 300 is inserted into the groove of the U-shaped groove 1321 and fixed with fasteners. Since the open side of the U-shaped groove 1321 faces the outside of the mounting pole 130, the end of the connecting beam 300 can be inserted into the groove of the U-shaped groove 1321 through the open side. Fasteners can be installed on both sides of the U-shaped groove 1321 to fix the connecting beam 300 inserted into the groove of the U-shaped groove 1321 onto the U-shaped groove 1321.

[0120] The outer side of the U-shaped channel 1321 is provided with a limiting edge 1322, and the limiting edge 1322 and the bottom wall of the U-shaped channel 1321 are respectively attached to the two plates of the mounting pole 130. In this embodiment, by setting the limiting edge 1322 and cooperating with the mounting pole 130, the rotation of the connecting beam 300 can be prevented, thus ensuring the overall stability of the photovoltaic mounting bracket.

[0121] like Figure 5 As shown, both the first frame retainer 150 and the second frame retainer 160 may include a hinge arm 151 and a retaining groove 152 disposed on the hinge arm 151. The retaining groove 152 is used to cover the frame 401 of the photovoltaic module 400 and is tightened by a set screw. The hinge arm 151 of the first frame retainer 150 is hinged to the mounting pole 130 (specifically, hinged to the universal hinge block 134), and the hinge arm 151 of the second frame retainer 160 is hinged to the diagonal brace 140.

[0122] The hinge arm 151 can also be a groove structure. Figure 5 In the illustrated scheme, the depth direction of the groove of the hinge arm 151 is perpendicular to the depth direction of the clamping groove 152. Multiple hinge holes can be provided on the hinge arm 151 to select which hinge hole the hinge shaft is placed in based on the actual installation scenario. Screw holes can be provided on the bottom wall of the hinge arm 151. Since the bottom wall of the hinge arm 151 is relatively thin, it is difficult to create screw holes, and the depth of the screw holes is easily insufficient, affecting the locking strength. Therefore, rivet nuts can be provided on the bottom wall of the hinge arm 151. Set screws cooperate with the rivet nuts and extend into the inner wall of the clamping groove 152 to tighten the frame 401 of the photovoltaic module 400. Multiple rivet nuts can be provided on the bottom wall of the hinge arm 151, allowing for the simultaneous installation of multiple set screws, improving the reliability of the tightening.

[0123] It should be noted that in this application, for other parts or other locations where screw holes are required, rivet nuts can be used.

[0124] Since the diagonal brace 140 and the universal hinge block 134 can be hinged within the groove of the hinge arm 151, or they can be hinged outside the groove of the hinge arm 151, the diagonal brace 140 and the universal hinge block 134 can mate with either the inner wall or the outer wall of the hinge arm 151.

[0125] like Figure 4 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown in a specific embodiment of this application, a plurality of positioning holes 131 are spaced apart on the mounting pole, and a positioning component 141 is provided at the second end of the diagonal brace 140. The positioning component 141 includes a positioning pin 1412, which is used to cooperate with the positioning holes 131. By cooperating with different positioning holes 131, the angle of the photovoltaic module 400 can be adjusted.

[0126] like Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, to facilitate the adjustment of the angle of the photovoltaic module 400, i.e., to facilitate the switching of the positioning pin 1412 between different positioning holes 131, in a specific embodiment of this application, the positioning component 141 may further include an elastic reset member and a pulling member 1411. There are two positioning pins 1412, which respectively cooperate with the positioning holes 131 on the two side walls of the mounting pole 130, that is, the two positioning pins 1412 extend to both sides to be inserted into the positioning holes 131 on the two side walls of the mounting pole 130 respectively.

[0127] The elastic reset member is used to push the two positioning pins 1412 to move away from each other. That is, the elastic reset member can push the two positioning pins 1412 into the positioning hole 131 and keep them in the positioning hole 131 to prevent them from coming out of the positioning hole 131.

[0128] The pulling member 1411 is used to push the two positioning pins 1412 towards each other and compress the elastic reset member. The pulling member 1411 can compress the elastic reset member and drive the two positioning pins 1412 towards each other, so that the two positioning pins 1412 disengage from the positioning holes 131. After the positioning pins 1412 disengage from the positioning holes 131, the position of the diagonal brace 140 on the mounting pole 130 can be adjusted, thereby changing the angle of the photovoltaic module 400. When the angle of the photovoltaic module 400 is adjusted to a suitable angle, the pulling member 1411 releases the constraint on the positioning pins 1412, so that the elastic reset member pushes the positioning pins 1412 to reset and insert the positioning pins 1412 into the corresponding positioning holes 131.

[0129] In this embodiment, two positioning pins 1412 are designed, allowing them to move closer and further apart. By using the pulling member 1411 to drive the two positioning pins 1412 closer together, they can disengage from the positioning holes 131. This releases the hinge between the diagonal brace 140 and the mounting pole 130 without removing the positioning pins 1412. After adjusting to the appropriate position, simply releasing the constraint on the positioning pins 1412 with the pulling member 1411 allows the positioning pins 1412 to be pushed into the corresponding positioning holes 131 under the action of the elastic reset member (provided that the positioning pins 1412 and the corresponding positioning holes 131 are coaxial).

[0130] like Figure 14 and Figure 16 As shown, in one specific embodiment, the pulling member 1411 is provided with a guide groove 14110, and the guide walls 14111 on both sides of the guide groove 14110 gradually approach each other from one end to the other. The guide walls 14111 on both sides of the guide groove 14110 can be curved or inclined plane.

[0131] A positioning plate 1415 is provided at the end of the positioning pin 1412 away from the positioning hole 131. The positioning plate 1415 is disposed in the guide groove 14110 and can slide along the guide wall 14111. The two ends of the elastic reset member abut against the two positioning plates 1415 respectively, so that the positioning plate 1415 abuts against the guide wall 14111. The elastic reset member can be a coil spring 1414. A positioning groove can be provided on the positioning plate 1415, and the end of the coil spring 1414 is embedded in the positioning groove to realize the positioning of the coil spring 1414 and the positioning plate 1415.

[0132] To improve the smoothness of the sliding of the positioning disk 1415 along the guide wall 14111, the portion of the positioning disk 1415 that contacts the guide wall 14111 can be a guide slope. When the drive member 1411 moves, the positioning pin 1412 is constrained by the positioning hole 131 and cannot move, so the positioning disk 1415 cannot move with the drive member 1411. This causes the positioning disk 1415 to slide relative to the guide wall 14111 when the drive member 1411 moves. When the direction of movement of the drive member 1411 is such that the positioning disk 1415 moves towards the side of the two guide walls 14111 that are moving closer to each other, the two guide walls 14111 will push the two positioning disks 1415 closer to each other, thereby causing the positioning pins 1412 connected to the two positioning disks 1415 to move closer to each other and thus exit from the positioning hole 131.

[0133] When the pull member 1411 is released, the coil spring 1414 pushes the two positioning discs 1415 to move away from each other, causing the positioning pin 1412 to insert into the positioning hole 131. Simultaneously, the positioning discs 1415 slide relative to the guide wall 14111, pushing the pull member 1411 back to its original position. If the spring force of the coil spring 1414 is insufficient to push the pull member 1411 back to its original position, the operator can manually push the pull member 1411 back to its original position, causing the pull member 1411 to lose its constraint on the positioning discs 1415. Then, the coil spring 1414 can push the positioning pin 1412 into the positioning hole 131.

[0134] The pulling component 1411 can be a bent sheet metal part or other structural parts, and an adjustable handle 14112 can be provided on the pulling component 1411. By adjusting the handle 14112, the operator can easily drive the pulling component 1411 to move.

[0135] like Figure 15 and Figure 17 As shown, in another specific embodiment, the pulling member 1411 includes a first limiting part 1411a and a second limiting part 1411b connected to each other. Specifically, the pulling member 1411 can be a U-shaped structural member formed by bending a sheet metal, and the two plates of the U-shaped structural member can be the first limiting part 1411a and the second limiting part 1411b, respectively.

[0136] Both the first limiting part 1411a and the second limiting part 1411b are provided with strip-shaped clearance grooves 14114, the length of which should be sufficient to accommodate the movement range of the pulling member 1411. Adjusting arms 14113 are provided at the ends of both the first limiting part 1411a and the second limiting part 1411b, and the adjusting arms 14113 of the first limiting part 1411a and the second limiting part 1411b gradually move closer together from one end to the other.

[0137] The end of the positioning pin 1412 furthest from the positioning hole 131 passes through the strip-shaped clearance groove 14114 and is connected to the elastic reset member. That is, when the elastic reset member is compressed, it can drive the positioning pin 1412 to move closer to each other. The elastic reset member is fixed on the inclined support member 140, that is, the positional relationship between the elastic reset member and the inclined support member 140 remains unchanged.

[0138] The two ends of the elastic reset member abut against the adjusting arms 14113 of the first limiting part 1411a and the second limiting part 1411b, respectively, and can slide along the adjusting arms 14113. Specifically, the elastic reset member can be a V-shaped spring 1416, with its two spring arms engaging with the first limiting part 1411a and the second limiting part 1411b, respectively. That is, the V-shaped spring 1416 is disposed between the first limiting part 1411a and the second limiting part 1411b, with one spring arm abutting against the first limiting part 1411a and the other spring arm abutting against the second limiting part 1411b.

[0139] In order to improve the smoothness of the relative sliding between the spring arm of the V-shaped spring 1416 and the adjusting arm 14113, an arc-shaped guide part 14161 is provided on the spring arm of the V-shaped spring 1416, and the arc-shaped guide part 14161 slides in cooperation with the adjusting arm 14113.

[0140] When the drive pull member 1411 moves, the V-shaped spring piece 1416 is fixed on the diagonal brace 140 and cannot move. As a result, when the drive pull member 1411 moves, the arc-shaped guide part 14161 will slide relative to the adjusting arm 14113. When the moving direction of the pull member 1411 is such that the arc-shaped guide part 14161 moves toward the side of the two adjusting arms 14113 that are closer to each other, the two adjusting arms 14113 will push the two arc-shaped guide parts 14161 closer to each other, thereby causing the two spring arms of the V-shaped spring piece 1416 to move closer to each other. The positioning pins 1412 connected to the two spring arms also move closer to each other and are thus withdrawn from the positioning hole 131.

[0141] When the pull member 1411 is released, the V-shaped spring piece 1416 resets, causing the positioning pin 1412 to insert into the corresponding positioning hole 131. At the same time, the arc-shaped guide part 14161 slides relative to the adjusting arm 14113, pushing the pull member 1411 back to its original position. If the elastic force of the V-shaped spring piece 1416 is insufficient to push the pull member 1411 back to its original position, the operator can manually push the pull member 1411 back to its original position, causing the pull member 1411 to lose its constraint on the arc-shaped guide part 14161. Then, the V-shaped spring piece 1416 can push the positioning pin 1412 into the positioning hole 131.

[0142] like Figures 14-17 As shown, the positioning component 141 may further include a limiting piece 1413, which is sleeved on the positioning pin 1412 and has a diameter larger than that of the positioning pin 1412. The limiting piece 1413 can be supported in the groove of the mounting rod 130 (the mounting rod 130 is a channel steel structure). The limiting piece 1413 can support the positioning pin 1412, so that the positioning pin 1412 and the positioning hole 131 can be kept at the same height, thereby enabling the positioning pin 1412 to be aligned with the positioning hole 131.
