Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic installation in photovoltaic power plants, specifically a directional sliding device for installing flexible support components in photovoltaic power plants. Background Technology

[0002] Flexible support components for photovoltaic power plants refer to photovoltaic modules (photovoltaic panels) installed on flexible photovoltaic supports. The installation method involves first connecting the photovoltaic panels to two parallel load-bearing cables using connectors (composed of U-shaped steel plates and U-shaped hoops). Specifically, a scaffolding platform is erected at the installation location. On this platform, the photovoltaic panels are first bolted to the U-shaped steel plates. Then, U-shaped hoops are used to hold the load-bearing cables and bolted to the U-shaped steel plates, thus completing the installation of one panel. Since the span between two flexible support structures is typically 20–40 m, and more than 20 photovoltaic panels need to be installed between each pair of flexible support structures, but the working surface of a single scaffolding platform is limited, allowing only 3–4 panels to be installed, the scaffolding platform must be repeatedly erected and dismantled within the span between the two flexible support structures, significantly reducing installation efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention provides a directional sliding device to improve the installation efficiency of photovoltaic modules.

[0004] The directional sliding device for installing flexible support components in photovoltaic power plants according to this utility model includes a connector for connecting photovoltaic panels and a sliding member sleeved on a load-bearing cable and capable of sliding along the axial direction of the load-bearing cable. The sliding member is also connected to the connector, so that the photovoltaic panels move synchronously with the sliding member.

[0005] The aforementioned directional sliding device for installing flexible support components in photovoltaic power plants utilizes sliding members installed on the connectors that can be fitted onto the load-bearing cables. This allows the photovoltaic panels, after being connected to the connecting plates, to form unit blocks that can slide along the axial direction of the load-bearing cables. Workers only need to install the photovoltaic modules in a fixed position. After connecting the photovoltaic panels, the sliding members are used to slide the panels to the designated position and lock them in place, thus achieving the installation of photovoltaic panels on the flexible support system. This eliminates the need for multiple scaffolding platform setups and dismantles, significantly reducing the number of scaffolding platform erections and greatly improving installation efficiency.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the sliding member includes a ring-shaped bearing sleeved on the load-bearing cable, and a plurality of steel balls that roll and abut against the load-bearing cable are arranged circumferentially on the inner wall of the bearing.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the connector includes a U-shaped plate and a U-shaped hoop. The middle section of the U-shaped plate is bent into a concave support groove, and the two sides of the support groove extend outward to form wing plates that connect with the photovoltaic panel. The middle section of the U-shaped hoop is concave to form a clamping part opposite to the support groove, and the two ends of the U-shaped hoop are connected to the support groove of the U-shaped plate to clamp and position the bearing together. The bottom of the support groove is provided with a limiting through hole for the bearing to pass through and restrict its axial displacement.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bearing also has a threaded stud that protrudes through the middle of the clamping part of the U-shaped hoop, and the stud is fitted with a nut that is tightened to abut against the clamping part of the U-shaped hoop.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, each of the four corners of the photovoltaic panel is provided with a connector and a sliding member.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it also includes a traction rope connected to the connector. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] It should be noted that if any directional indication (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, top, bottom, inside, outside, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, counterclockwise, clockwise, circumferential, radial, axial, etc.) is involved in the embodiments of this utility model, the directional indication is only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "setting," "equipped with," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0023] If the embodiments of this utility model involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," such descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. In the description of this utility model, "several" means one or more, "multiple" means two or more, and "above," "below," and "within" are all understood to include the stated number. Furthermore, the technical features of each embodiment can be arbitrarily combined. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the embodiments are described; however, as long as these combinations of technical features do not contradict each other, they should be considered within the scope of this specification.

[0024] like Figure 1-9As shown, a directional sliding device for installing flexible support components in a photovoltaic power station includes a connector 2 for connecting photovoltaic panels 1 and a sliding member 4 that is sleeved on a load-bearing cable 3 and can slide along the axial direction of the load-bearing cable. The sliding member 4 is also connected to the connector 2, allowing the photovoltaic panels to move synchronously with the sliding member. This directional sliding device for installing flexible support components in a photovoltaic power station, by installing a sliding member on the connector that can slide along the load-bearing cable, allows the photovoltaic panels to form a unit block that can slide along the axial direction of the load-bearing cable after being connected to the connector. Workers only need to install the photovoltaic modules in a fixed position, and after completing the connection of the photovoltaic panels, use the sliding member to slide the photovoltaic panels to the designated position and lock them in place. This achieves the laying of photovoltaic panels on the flexible support, eliminating the need for multiple dismantling and erection of scaffolding platforms, reducing the number of times scaffolding platforms need to be erected, and greatly improving the efficiency of the installation work.

[0025] The sliding component 4 includes a ring-shaped bearing 401 sleeved on the load-bearing cable 3. The inner wall of the bearing is circumferentially distributed with several steel balls 402 that roll against the load-bearing cable. The steel balls cooperate with the load-bearing cable in a point contact manner, resulting in a very small contact area, a significantly reduced coefficient of friction, and a substantial decrease in running resistance and wear, which facilitates the smooth sliding of the photovoltaic panel along the load-bearing cable.

[0026] The connector 2 includes a U-shaped plate 201 and a U-shaped hoop 202. The middle section of the U-shaped plate is bent into a concave support groove 203, and the two sides of the support groove extend outward to form wing plates 204 that are connected to the photovoltaic panel. The middle section of the U-shaped hoop 202 is concave to form a clamping part 205 opposite to the support groove. The two ends of the U-shaped hoop are connected to the support groove of the U-shaped plate to clamp and position the bearing. The bottom of the support groove is provided with a limiting through hole 206 for the bearing to pass through and restrict its axial displacement. Specifically, the wing plates of the U-shaped plate can be connected to the photovoltaic panel with bolts, and the two ends of its U-shaped hoop can also be connected to the support groove of the U-shaped plate with bolts 5. The middle section of the U-shaped plate is recessed to form a support groove, which, together with the two wing plates, forms a bracket, increasing the mounting surface that fits against the back of the photovoltaic panel, making the installation of the photovoltaic panel more stable. The clamping part of the U-shaped hoop and the support groove are opposite to form a ring-shaped clamp. After being locked with bolts, the bearing is fixed between the U-shaped plate and the U-shaped hoop. At the same time, the limiting through hole at the bottom of the support groove locks the bearing axially, preventing the bearing from shaking relative to the U-shaped plate and the U-shaped hoop, thus improving stability.

[0027] The bearing 401 also has a threaded stud 403 that protrudes through the middle of the clamping part of the U-shaped hoop. The stud is fitted with a nut 404 that is tightened to abut against the clamping part of the U-shaped hoop, which can further fix the bearing to the clamping part of the U-shaped hoop and improve stability.

[0028] Each of the four corners of the photovoltaic panel 1 is equipped with a connector 2 and a sliding member 4. The connectors and sliding members are symmetrically arranged at the four corners of the photovoltaic panel to form a four-point suspension, which allows the four corners to slide synchronously, with consistent resistance, making pushing and pulling easier, and achieving smooth sliding along the load-bearing cable.

[0029] It also includes a traction rope connected to the connector. The traction rope can extend to the ground or a remote location, allowing workers to pull the photovoltaic panels along the load-bearing cable to the designated position. This facilitates operation from the ground or remote location, significantly reducing the amount of work at height and improving work efficiency.

[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this utility model and the content of this specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
