Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a spiral anchor foundation structure for rapid leveling of photovoltaic brackets. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the global new energy industry, the scale of photovoltaic power plant construction is constantly expanding. Photovoltaic sites are often located in areas with complex terrain such as mountains, slopes, and wastelands. These areas generally have problems such as uneven terrain and large changes in ground elevation.

[0003] Spiral anchors, a common type of foundation for photovoltaic (PV) systems, offer advantages such as convenient construction and minimal environmental impact. Traditional spiral anchors have a fixed, integrated top connector and anchor rod. During installation, precise control of the screw-in depth of each anchor is crucial to ensure consistent height across all anchor foundations, thus meeting the requirements for level installation of PV systems. However, factors such as undulating terrain and uneven soil density make it difficult to achieve uniform top height with traditional spiral anchors in a single screw-in operation. This often results in connector height deviations after installation, necessitating extensive on-site cutting (cutting down excessively tall anchor rods) or shimming (placing steel plates or concrete blocks under excessively short connectors) to adjust the height.

[0004] The above-mentioned leveling method has the following problems: First, the construction efficiency is extremely low. On-site cutting requires professional equipment and personnel, and the elevation work requires repeated measurement and adjustment, which greatly prolongs the construction period. Second, the installation accuracy of the photovoltaic bracket is difficult to guarantee. Errors are prone to accumulate during the cutting or elevation process, resulting in the flatness of the photovoltaic bracket installation surface not meeting the design requirements, which affects the installation quality and service life of the photovoltaic modules. Third, the cost is high. The additional labor, auxiliary materials (such as pads and cutting materials) consumption, as well as the management costs caused by the extended construction period, all increase the construction investment of the photovoltaic power station.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a spiral anchor foundation structure that can adapt to uneven terrain and achieve rapid leveling, in order to solve the problems of fixed height and difficulty in leveling traditional structures, and meet the needs of efficient, precise and low-cost construction of photovoltaic power plants.

[0029] Example

[0030] Reference Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a spiral anchor foundation structure for rapid leveling of photovoltaic brackets, including an anchor rod 1, an anchor plate 2, and a top connector. The anchor plate 2 is evenly distributed at the lower part of the anchor rod 1, and the top of the anchor rod 1 is provided with a smooth section 3. The smooth section 3 has first through holes 4 evenly distributed axially.

[0031] Anchor 1 has an overall rod-shaped structure and is made of Q335B steel to ensure sufficient structural strength. Anchor 1 has a diameter of 76mm and a length of 2000mm, allowing it to be screwed into the ground to a sufficient depth, improving the reliability of the entire spiral anchor foundation installation. Three anchor plates 2 are evenly distributed at the lower part of anchor 1, welded to the anchor 1.

[0037] In this embodiment, a pin hole 10 is provided at one end of the pin 6 that passes through the second through hole 8 and the first through hole 4. The diameter of the pin hole 10 is 3mm. A cotter pin 11 is inserted into the pin hole 10 to prevent the pin 6 from falling out of the second through hole 8 and the first through hole 4.

[0038] Furthermore, the smooth section 3 has a length of 380mm and a diameter of 76mm. The top connector 5 is made of Q335B steel with a diameter of 86mm and a height of 350mm. The sleeve 7 has an inner diameter of 80mm and a length of 150mm. The sleeve 7 is clearance-fitted with the smooth section 3 at the top of the spiral anchor rod 1.

The sleeve 7 is also fitted with the smooth section 3 at the top of the spiral anchor rod 1 with a clearance fit, allowing the sleeve 7 to be quickly fitted onto the smooth section 3 at the top of the spiral anchor rod 1. This enables rapid leveling of the overall height of the spiral anchor foundation structure. The top connector 5 is made of Q335B steel to ensure sufficient structural strength.

[0040] Furthermore, the diameter of the first through hole 4 is 11mm, the center distance between two adjacent first through holes 4 is 25mm, the diameter of the second through hole 8 is 11mm, the center distance between two adjacent second through holes 8 is 25mm, and the pin 6 is made of No. 45 steel with a diameter of 11mm and a length of 95mm.

In this embodiment, the center distance between two adjacent first through holes 4 and second through holes 8 is designed to be the same, and the diameter of the pin 6 is exactly the same as the diameter of the first through hole 4 and the second through hole 8, so as to achieve precise leveling of the overall height of the spiral anchor foundation structure. The pin 6 is made of No. 45 steel to improve the overall structural strength of the pin 6.

[0042] Furthermore, the surfaces of anchor bolt 1, anchor plate 2, and top connector 5 are all hot-dip galvanized, with a galvanized layer thickness of 85μm.

[0043] In this embodiment, the entire outer surface of the anchor rod 1, anchor plate 2, and top connector 5 is hot-dip galvanized with a zinc coating thickness of 85μm to improve the corrosion resistance of the anchor rod 1, anchor plate 2, and top connector 5.

[0044] In use, first use the spiral anchor screwing device to screw the anchor rod 1 of the spiral anchor into the designated position in the photovoltaic field, ensuring that the length of the top connecting section of the anchor rod 1 protruding above the ground meets the adjustment requirements. Then, fit the sleeve 7 of the top connector 5 onto the smooth section 3 at the top of the spiral anchor rod 1 to achieve initial positioning of the spiral anchor height. Next, use a level to measure the height, move the top connector up and down to the target height, and align the second through hole 8 on the sleeve 7 with the first through hole 4 on the smooth section 3 at the top of the anchor rod 1. Then, insert the pin 6 through the aligned second through hole 8 and the second through hole 8. Finally, insert the cotter pin 11 into the pin hole 10 to lock the pin 6. Repeat the above steps to adjust the height of all spiral anchor top connectors 5, ensuring that the photovoltaic bracket connection holes 9 are on the same horizontal plane.
