Abstract

This application discloses a foldable photovoltaic (PV) bracket for an electric vehicle charging station, relating to the field of PV bracket technology. It includes a fixed frame and a folding mechanism, with the folding mechanism located on the inner side of the fixed frame. The folding mechanism includes a lifting assembly and a support assembly, with the lifting assembly installed on the inner side of the fixed frame. By rotating an electrically controlled lead screw, the lifting mounting frame is raised, and simultaneously, the support rod extends under force. After the support rod reaches its extension limit, under the continuous upward thrust of the lifting mounting frame, the support rod unfolds to both sides, thus unfolding the PV mounting frame. The support rod, with its self-damping hydraulic telescopic structure, ensures that the PV mounting frame will not wobble after being fully unfolded. When not in use, the lifting mounting frame is lowered, and the support rod is pulled inward to fold the PV mounting frame, preventing damage to the PV panels from external debris and reducing the overall footprint.

[0002] As a crucial link in the new energy vehicle industry chain, the development trend of electric vehicle charging stations has attracted significant attention from the industry and investors. With the rapid growth of electric vehicle ownership, the construction of charging stations is developing towards large-scale and networked deployment to meet the needs of long-distance travel and rapid charging. Furthermore, with technological advancements, charging stations integrating photovoltaic power generation technology have emerged. These stations help improve energy self-sufficiency, reduce dependence on the traditional power grid, and promote the utilization of renewable energy and green travel.

[0003] A search revealed that the document with publication number "CN217789605U" mentions "This utility model provides a photovoltaic support for photovoltaic projects, including horizontal steel bars, U-shaped seats, diagonal steel bars, connecting rods, adjusting bolts, fixing seats, insert rods, fixing bolts, support seats, telescopic support plate structures, adjustable support plate structures, and detachable binding strap structures. The upper left side of the two horizontal steel bars is bolted to U-shaped seats, and diagonal steel bars are provided on the upper part of both horizontal steel bars. The left ends of the two diagonal steel bars are respectively axially connected to the interior of the two U-shaped seats." While the support seats facilitate the support of photovoltaic panels, most existing photovoltaic supports are fixed structures, which not only occupy a large amount of space and are complex to install and deploy, but also fail to provide effective protection for the photovoltaic panels when not in use, making them susceptible to damage from external environmental factors.

[0004] To address these issues, we offer foldable photovoltaic brackets for electric vehicle charging stations. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a foldable photovoltaic bracket for electric vehicle charging stations, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

The lifting component is installed on the inner side of the fixed frame, and the support components are provided on both sides of the fixed frame.

[0007] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes an electric control screw, a lifting mounting frame, a rotating mounting groove, a rotating pin, a photovoltaic mounting frame, and a photovoltaic panel. The electric control screw is installed on the inner side of the fixed frame, and the lifting mounting frame is threadedly connected to the outer side of the electric control screw.

[0008] Preferably, the inner side of the lifting mounting frame is provided with a rotating mounting groove, the inner side of the rotating mounting groove is provided with a rotating pin, and the outer side of the rotating pin is fixedly connected to a photovoltaic mounting frame.

[0010] Preferably, the support assembly includes a rotating connecting platform, a rotating connecting block, a support rod, and a connecting side frame. The rotating connecting platform is installed on both sides of the bottom end of the fixed frame.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. The folding mechanism, through the rotation of the electric control screw, raises the lifting mounting frame. Simultaneously, the support rod extends under the force.

By setting up protective components, when the whole unit is in use, the protective plates can be unfolded from both sides of the connecting base plate to increase the stability of the whole unit. When folding, the protective plates can be folded together to protect the whole unit and prevent the unit from being damaged during transportation. Attached Figure Description

[0017] 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.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, the foldable photovoltaic bracket for the electric vehicle charging station includes a fixed frame 1 and a folding mechanism 2, with the folding mechanism 2 provided on the inner side of the fixed frame 1. The folding mechanism 2 includes a lifting component 21 and a support component 22. The lifting component 21 is installed on the inner side of the fixed frame 1, and the support component 22 is provided on both sides of the fixed frame 1.

[0019] Furthermore, the lifting assembly 21 includes an electric control screw 211, a lifting mounting frame 212, a rotating mounting groove 213, a rotating pin 214, a photovoltaic mounting frame 215, and a photovoltaic panel 216. The electric control screw 211 is installed on the inner side of the fixed frame 1, and the lifting mounting frame 212 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the electric control screw 211. By rotating the electric control screw 211, the lifting mounting frame 212 is driven to rise and fall, thereby facilitating the folding and unfolding of the photovoltaic mounting frame 215.

[0020] Furthermore, a rotating mounting groove 213 is provided on the inner side of the lifting mounting frame 212, and a rotating pin 214 is installed on the inner side of the rotating mounting groove 213. A photovoltaic mounting frame 215 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating pin 214. The photovoltaic mounting frame 215 is installed on the lifting mounting frame 212 through the rotating pin 214, so that the lifting mounting frame 212 can rotate and can be folded and retracted.

[0021] Furthermore, photovoltaic panels 216 are installed on the inner side of the photovoltaic mounting frame 215. The photovoltaic mounting frame 215 is provided in two sets. The photovoltaic mounting frames 215 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the lifting mounting frame 212. The photovoltaic panels 216 are supported and installed by the photovoltaic mounting frames 215. At the same time, the two sets of photovoltaic mounting frames 215 increase the overall light-receiving area and improve the photovoltaic energy storage effect.

[0022] Furthermore, the support assembly 22 includes a rotating connecting platform 221, a rotating connecting block 222, a support rod 223, and a connecting side frame 224. The rotating connecting platform 221 is installed on both sides of the bottom end of the fixed frame 1. The rotating connecting block 222 is connected to the inner side of the rotating connecting platform 221 by a pin. The support rod 223 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating connecting block 222. By rotating the rotating connecting block 222 on the rotating connecting platform 221, the support rod 223 can be rotated and unfolded to both sides to support the photovoltaic mounting frame 215 and improve the stability during use.

[0023] Furthermore, the support rod 223 is a self-damping hydraulic telescopic structure. The top pin of the support rod 223 is connected to the connecting side frame 224. The connecting side frame 224 and the photovoltaic mounting frame 215 are rotatably connected. When needed, the lifting mounting frame 212 is raised, and the support rod 223 is stretched along with it. After the support rod 223 is stretched to its limit, under the thrust of the lifting mounting frame 212, the support rod 223 will unfold to both sides, thereby unfolding the photovoltaic mounting frame 215. At the same time, the support rod 223 with its self-damping hydraulic telescopic structure ensures that the photovoltaic mounting frame 215 will not wobble after being fully unfolded, improving the stability of the photovoltaic panel 216 during use. When not in use, the lifting mounting frame 212 is lowered, and the support rod 223 is pulled inward to fold and retract the photovoltaic mounting frame 215, preventing the photovoltaic panel 216 from being damaged by external debris.

[0024] Furthermore, a protective component 3 is installed at the bottom of the fixing frame 1. The protective component 3 includes a connecting base plate 31 and a protective plate 32. The connecting base plate 31 is welded to the bottom of the fixing frame 1. The protective plates 32 are rotatably connected to both the left and right sides of the connecting base plate 31. The length of the protective plate 32 is greater than the length of the fixing frame 1. When the whole unit is in use, the protective plates 32 are unfolded from both sides of the connecting base plate 31 to increase the stability of the whole unit. When folding, the protective plates 32 can be folded together to protect the whole unit and prevent the unit from being damaged during transportation.

[0025] Working principle: First, move the device to the desired location. Then, install the mounting bracket 1 in the designated position. Next, unfold the protective plate 32 from both sides of the connecting base plate 31 to increase overall stability. Second, when needed, rotate the electric control screw 211 to raise the lifting mounting bracket 212. Simultaneously, the support rod 223 extends under pressure. After the support rod 223 reaches its limit of extension, under the continuous upward thrust of the lifting mounting bracket 212, the support rod 223 will unfold to both sides, thus opening the photovoltaic mounting bracket. The third step involves using the support rod 223 of the self-damping hydraulic telescopic structure to ensure that the photovoltaic mounting frame 215 will not wobble after being fully extended, thus improving the stability of the photovoltaic panel 216 during use. The fourth step involves lowering the lifting mounting frame 212 when not in use, and then pulling the support rod 223 inward to retract the photovoltaic mounting frame 215, preventing the photovoltaic panel 216 from being damaged by external debris and reducing the overall footprint. This completes the use of the foldable photovoltaic bracket for the electric vehicle charging station.

[0026] 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.
