Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic support technology, and specifically to a support mechanism for photovoltaic flexible supports. Background Technology
[0002] Flexible photovoltaic (PV) supports, using steel cables as the core load-bearing unit, can adapt to various complex terrains, reduce foundation requirements, and lower construction difficulty. They are widely used in scenarios such as agricultural-photovoltaic integration, forestry-photovoltaic integration, and fishery-photovoltaic integration. Currently, the support and cable connection points of existing PV supports generally adopt a rigid, non-adjustable fixed design, which has the following shortcomings: 1. Poor adjustment flexibility: The steel cable and the support are fixedly connected, and it is impossible to adjust the support length and position according to the terrain undulation, the tilt angle requirement of the photovoltaic module or the change of steel cable tension. It is difficult to adapt to the needs of "dynamic installation and maintenance" of photovoltaic system under complex terrain. 2. Low installation and maintenance efficiency: If there are errors in the terrain or the tension of the steel cable needs to be adjusted later, the fixed structure needs to be disassembled and the parts replaced / modified. The operation is cumbersome and time-consuming, which significantly increases the construction and maintenance costs. 3. Insufficient versatility: Photovoltaic projects with different slopes and spans require customized steel cable support components of different specifications, which leads to increased manufacturing costs and complicated inventory management, which is not conducive to large-scale promotion. Utility Model Content

[0006] Preferably, the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are respectively located on both sides of the first support plate and the second support plate.

[0013] Preferably, the length of the second link is greater than that of the first link.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: It combines adjustment and folding functions: With the help of multiple sets of adjustment holes on the first and second support plates, the height and tilt angle of the steel cable support can be adjusted in multiple positions to adapt to the photovoltaic installation needs of various application scenarios; the folding design greatly reduces the transportation volume, and the two work together to improve the convenience of photovoltaic system transportation and on-site adaptability.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "around", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present utility model.
[0024] Example 1: like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a support mechanism for a photovoltaic flexible bracket, mainly including a first connecting rod 2, a second connecting rod 3, a first support plate 1, and a second support plate 4. The two ends of the first connecting rod 2 are respectively hinged to the upper ends of the first support plate 1 and the second support plate 4 via pins 6, and the two ends of the second connecting rod 3 are respectively hinged to the lower ends of the first support plate 1 and the second support plate 4 via pins 6. The first connecting rod 2, the second connecting rod 3, the first support plate 1, and the second support plate 4 form a closed structure.
[0025] Combined Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the first support plate 1 and the second support plate 4 are structurally symmetrical. Taking the second support plate 4 as an example: The second support plate 4 includes two fitting outer slotted perforated plates 41 and inner slotted perforated plates 42. The outer slotted perforated plates 41 have a row of outer slots 411, all of which connect to the outer side of the outer slotted perforated plates 41, i.e., the side away from the first support plate 1. The inner slotted perforated plates 42 have a row of inner slots 421, all of which connect to the inner side of the inner slotted perforated plates 42. Both ends of the outer slotted perforated plates 41 and 42 have corresponding through holes for inserting pins 6. In the fitted state, the outer slot holes 411 and inner slot holes 421 in the outer slot perforated plate 41 and inner slot perforated plate 42 correspond one-to-one. The inner ends of the outer slot holes 411 and inner slot holes 421 are both semi-circular, so after the outer slot perforated plate 41 and inner slot perforated plate 42 are fitted together, a circular hole is formed that can hold the lower steel cable 8, which serves as an adjustment hole to adjust the position of the lower steel cable 8. The outer slot hole 411 on the outer slot perforated plate 41 is straight with rounded corners at the opening, while the inner slot hole 421 on the inner slot perforated plate 42 is arc-shaped, which facilitates the installation or adjustment of the lower steel cable 8.
[0026] Example 2: Based on the above embodiment one, combined with Figures 1 to 3 ,as well as Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the length of the second connecting rod 3 is greater than that of the first connecting rod 2, and both 3 are angle iron. The first connecting rod 2 and the second connecting rod 3 are respectively placed on both sides of the first support plate 1 and the second support plate 4 to facilitate folding. Through holes are opened at both ends of the first connecting rod 2, and U-bolts 5 are inserted into the through holes to fasten both ends of the first connecting rod 2 to the upper steel cables 7 on both sides.
[0027] Support structure in working condition: like Figure 6 As shown, the first connecting rod 2, the second connecting rod 3, the first support plate 1 and the second support plate 4 are connected by the pin 6 to form a closed structure; wherein, the first connecting rod 2 is fixed on the upper steel cable 7, and the lower steel cable 8 is clamped on the first support plate 1 and the second support plate 4 on both sides. When it is necessary to adjust the lower steel cables 8 on both sides; First, loosen the pin 6 at one end of the second connecting rod 3, and rotate the outer slot hole plate 41 and the inner slot hole plate 42 along the other end to open them. Adjust the lower steel cable 8 in different outer slot holes 411 and inner slot holes 421 to change the support height or lateral position of the lower steel cable 8, thereby indirectly changing the tension of the lower steel cable 8 and ensuring that the lower steel cable 8 is subjected to uniform and stable force. Through the above adjustments, the support structure can be flexibly adapted to the installation of photovoltaic projects in different terrains, as well as the subsequent maintenance and adjustment of the steel cables.
[0028] When a folding support mechanism is required: like Figure 5As shown, firstly, the pin 6 at the right end of the first connecting rod 2 is pulled out, and the second support plate 4 is rotated around the pin 6 at the right end of the second connecting rod 3 to be parallel to the second connecting rod 3; then, the first support plate 1 is rotated around the pin 6 at the left end of the second connecting rod 3 to be parallel to the second connecting rod 3; further, the first connecting rod 2 is rotated around the pin 6 at the left end of the first connecting rod 2 to be parallel to the second connecting rod 3, thus achieving complete folding and lying flat on the ground, greatly reducing the space occupied.
[0029] The support structure provided in this embodiment uses multiple sets of adjustment holes composed of outer and inner slots to facilitate the adjustment of the support height, position, and tension of the lower steel cable, thereby improving the adaptability and engineering practicality of the photovoltaic flexible support to complex terrain. The support structure also achieves folding function through a hinge design, which facilitates transportation and solves the shortcomings of existing technologies such as poor adjustment flexibility, low installation and maintenance efficiency, and insufficient versatility.

Obviously, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of the present invention, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize the present invention. The present invention is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
