Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar panel support technology, and in particular to a support structure for flexible photovoltaic panels. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing adoption of renewable energy, portable outdoor photovoltaic panels are gaining attention for their flexibility and practicality. To balance ease of use and transportation efficiency, most portable outdoor photovoltaic panels currently employ a folding structure. This design makes them compact and easy to carry when stored, and when unfolded, the tilt angle can be fixed by a support structure to optimize light capture efficiency.

[0003] Currently, most support structures employ a bracket structure composed of elastic bands and support plates, with the elastic bands used for angle adjustment and fixation. While this structure can maintain the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel under certain conditions, it typically requires opening holes in the panel surface or frame. Bolts, clips, and other components are used to fix the ends of the elastic bands into these holes, which can easily compromise the original sealing and waterproofing properties of the photovoltaic panel. In complex outdoor environments, this can lead to moisture infiltration, accelerating the aging of internal components and ultimately shortening the panel's lifespan.

[0004] Secondly, the existing support structure is cumbersome to operate during actual deployment and storage. During deployment, operators need to adjust the length of each elastic band individually, repeatedly adjusting the length of each tension band and fixing point. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also difficult to adjust multiple elastic bands to a completely uniform tension state due to the inherent differences in elastic deformation. This can easily lead to localized tilting of the photovoltaic panel surface. During storage, the tension of multiple elastic bands needs to be released one by one and the panels need to be neatly stored, further increasing the complexity of the operation. This not only reduces the ease of use of portable photovoltaic panels, but also makes it easy to affect power generation efficiency due to the difficulty in controlling the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panels. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a support structure for flexible photovoltaic panels, which aims to improve the shortcomings of the existing technology and solve the problem that the operation of the existing outdoor portable photovoltaic panel support structure is relatively cumbersome during actual deployment and storage.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a support structure for flexible photovoltaic panels, comprising: The support body can switch between an unfolded state and a retracted state.

The support plate is provided with a first snap-fit ​​part, and the connecting plate is provided with a second snap-fit ​​part. When the first snap-fit ​​part and the second snap-fit ​​part are engaged, the bracket body is in the storage state.

[0007] Optionally, the first snap-fit ​​portion includes a mating hole and a first snap protrusion located within the mating hole, and the second snap-fit ​​portion includes a snap-fit ​​body and a second snap protrusion for mating with the first snap protrusion. When the bracket body is in a retracted state, the upper end face of the first snap protrusion and the lower end face of the second snap protrusion abut against each other.

[0008] Optionally, the lower end of the support plate is provided with a plurality of protrusions, which are arranged at equal intervals along the width direction of the support plate.

[0012] Optionally, the adhesive reservoir includes: First glue tank; The second adhesive groove is located in the middle region of the connecting plate; The first adhesive groove includes a first groove and a second groove that are interconnected.

[0013] Optionally, the connecting plate is further provided with an anti-overflow glue groove, which extends along the outer periphery of the connecting plate and surrounds the second glue groove.

[0014] Optionally, the support plate is provided with a plurality of first reinforcing ribs and a plurality of second reinforcing ribs, the plurality of first reinforcing ribs extending along the length direction of the support plate, and the plurality of second reinforcing ribs intersecting with the plurality of first reinforcing ribs respectively.

[0016] Beneficial Effects: The flexible photovoltaic panel support structure proposed in this utility model includes a support body that can switch between an unfolded state and a retracted state. The support body includes a connecting plate and a support plate, with the connecting plate used to connect to the photovoltaic panel. The support plate and the connecting plate are movably connected via a pivot. The support plate has a first locking part, and the connecting plate has a second locking part. When the first and second locking parts engage, the support body is in the retracted state. This design allows the support plate to be flipped open relative to the connecting plate, enabling the support body to be in the unfolded state without the need for tedious adjustments. Furthermore, the support plate can be flipped closed around the pivot, allowing the first locking part on the support plate to engage with the second locking part on the connecting plate, enabling the support body to quickly switch to the retracted state without the need to release the elastic band tension and rearrange the panels, thus improving the ease of use of portable photovoltaic panel modules. Secondly, the snap-fit ​​connection between the connecting plate and the support plate ensures the stability of the support body in the retracted state and prevents the support plate from accidentally opening.

[0025] See Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, this application embodiment provides a support structure for a flexible photovoltaic panel. The support structure for the flexible photovoltaic panel is used to support the photovoltaic panel 6, so that the portable photovoltaic panel 6 can be tilted and placed on the ground outdoors.

[0026] In this embodiment, the support structure for the flexible photovoltaic panel includes a support body 1, which can switch between an unfolded state and a retracted state. When the support body 1 is in the unfolded state, one part of the support body 1 abuts against the ground and the other part abuts against the back of the photovoltaic panel 6, so that the photovoltaic panel 6 can be placed at an angle. When it is necessary to fold and retract the portable photovoltaic panel 6, the support body 1 is first switched from the unfolded state to the retracted state, so that the support body 1 is stored and fixed to the back of the photovoltaic panel 6, and then the photovoltaic panel 6 is folded and retracted for easy carrying.

[0027] See Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the bracket body 1 includes a support plate 11 and a connecting plate 12. The connecting plate 12 and the support plate 11 are movably connected. When the bracket body 1 is in the unfolded state, the connecting plate 12 and the support plate 11 form an angle. When the bracket body 1 is in the retracted state, the connecting plate 12 and the support plate 11 are in contact. A glue-containing groove 3 is provided on the end face of the connecting plate 12 facing away from the support plate 11. The glue-containing groove 3 is filled with an adhesive medium for connecting with the photovoltaic panel 6.

[0028] In this embodiment, the adhesive medium is a fixative.

[0029] The flexible photovoltaic panel support structure provided in this embodiment has an adhesive groove 3 on the end face of the connecting plate 12 facing away from the support plate 11, which provides a bearing and working interface for the adhesive medium. This allows the connecting plate 12 to be fixedly connected to the photovoltaic panel 6 through the adhesive medium, thus eliminating the need to drill holes in the photovoltaic panel 6. This avoids damage to the original waterproof coating and sealing structure of the photovoltaic panel 6, ensuring the structural integrity of the photovoltaic panel 6.

[0030] In this embodiment, the included angle between the supporting member 11 and the connecting member 12 can be flexibly set according to different actual application scenarios. Specifically, the selectable values ​​of the included angle include, but are not limited to, 30°, 40°, 50° and 60°. As long as the angle parameter can meet the supporting role of the photovoltaic panel bracket on the photovoltaic panel and ensure the stability of the support, it should be within the protection scope of this application.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of this application, when the bracket body 1 is in the unfolded state, the angle between the support plate 11 and the connecting plate 12 is 45°. With this design, when the bracket body 1 is unfolded and supports the photovoltaic panel so that the photovoltaic panel is placed on the ground at an angle, during the hours with the strongest irradiance in a day, the normal direction of the photovoltaic panel 6 coincides with or nearly coincides with the direction of sunlight. At this time, the incident angle of sunlight is equal to or close to zero, thereby suppressing the reflection of sunlight on the surface of the photovoltaic panel 6, allowing more sunlight to penetrate the multiple light-transmitting layers of the photovoltaic panel 6 and be absorbed by the cells inside the photovoltaic panel 6, thereby converting it into electrical energy.

[0032] By adopting the above structural design, during the hours with the strongest irradiance in a day, the photovoltaic panel 6 can be irradiated by sunlight in a near-perpendicular manner, which improves the instantaneous power generation during this time window and thus increases the daily cumulative power generation.

[0033] It is worth mentioning that the support plate 11 and the connecting plate 12 are movably connected. The lower end of the support plate 11 rests against the flat ground, and the connecting plate 12 is glued and fixed to the back of the photovoltaic panel 6. When unfolded, the support plate 11 and the connecting plate 12 form a 45° angle. This structural design replaces the traditional photovoltaic panel support frame that uses multiple elastic bands for flexible adjustment, avoiding the angle deviation problem caused by the difference in elastic band tension. It eliminates the need to calibrate multiple elastic bands one by one, ensuring that the photovoltaic panel 6 maintains the predetermined light-receiving angle, reducing light absorption loss caused by angle deviation, and thus improving power generation efficiency. At the same time, the support plate 11 and the connecting plate 12 can fit tightly together when not in use, significantly reducing the space occupied by the bracket body 1. This not only makes it easier to carry but also enhances the adaptability of the bracket body 1 in outdoor installation, temporary deployment, and other scenarios.

[0034] See Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the adhesive reservoir 3 includes a first adhesive reservoir 31 and a second adhesive reservoir 32, with the first adhesive reservoir 31 located in the central region of the connecting plate 12.

[0035] The first adhesive groove 31 includes a first groove 311 and a second groove 312 that are interconnected. The first groove 311 is arranged along the width direction of the connecting plate 12, and the second groove 312 is arranged along the length direction of the connecting plate 12. The second adhesive groove 32 extends along the outer periphery of the connecting plate 12 and surrounds the outer periphery of the first adhesive groove 31.

[0036] Specifically, the first adhesive groove 31 is composed of a first groove 311 extending along the width direction of the connecting plate 12 and a second groove 312 extending along the length direction of the connecting plate 12. The first groove 311 and the second groove 312 are interconnected to form an adhesive flow channel. This design ensures that the adhesive medium can be evenly spread in the middle area of ​​the connecting plate 12. Secondly, the T-shaped adhesive flow channel design improves the continuity of adhesive medium filling, thereby enhancing the anti-peeling ability of the connecting plate 12 and effectively suppressing the risk of interface debonding caused by thermal expansion and contraction or wind load vibration.

[0037] See Figure 4 As shown, the second adhesive groove 32 extends along the outer periphery of the connecting plate 12 and surrounds the first adhesive groove 31, forming a surrounding peripheral adhesive sealing structure. This allows the adhesive medium to form a continuous sealing layer at the edge joint of the photovoltaic panel 6 and the connecting plate 12, effectively preventing moisture, dust, corrosive media, etc. from the external environment from invading the internal adhesive interface. This ensures the strong connection between the flexible photovoltaic panel support structure and the photovoltaic panel 6, thereby improving the environmental adaptability of the photovoltaic panel module with this flexible photovoltaic panel support structure.

[0038] When the photovoltaic panel 6 is subjected to wind load vibration, the outer periphery adhesive layer on the second adhesive groove 32 can bear part of the force and disperse the force to the outer periphery connection area of ​​the flexible photovoltaic panel support structure and the photovoltaic panel 6 through the continuous adhesive layer, so as to avoid the force acting directly on the middle adhesive layer in the first adhesive groove 31, thereby improving the connection firmness between the connecting plate 12 and the photovoltaic panel 6.

[0039] See Figure 4 As shown, an anti-overflow glue groove 4 is also provided on one end face of the connecting plate 12 facing away from the support plate 11. The anti-overflow glue groove 4 extends along the outer periphery of the connecting plate 12 and is arranged around the outer periphery of the second glue groove 32.

[0040] During the pouring and curing process of the adhesive medium, adhesive overflow is prone to occur. Based on this, the anti-overflow adhesive tank 4 in this embodiment serves as a pre-designed redundant structure, which can effectively accommodate excess adhesive medium that seeps outward, thereby preventing it from overflowing into non-bonding areas.

[0041] See Figure 4 As shown, the connecting plate 12 includes a first connecting portion 121 and a second connecting portion 122 integrally formed with the first connecting portion 121. The width of the first connecting portion 121 is greater than the width of the second connecting portion 122.

[0042] See Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the support plate 11 is provided with a clearance notch 111, and at least a portion of the second connecting part 122 is located within the clearance notch 111. The second connecting part 122 is provided with a first insertion hole 1221 arranged along its width direction, and the support plate 11 is provided with a second insertion hole 112 arranged along its width direction. The first insertion hole 1221 and the second insertion hole 112 cooperate to form a through channel for passing through the rotating shaft.

[0043] See Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the first connecting part 121 and the second connecting part 122 are integrally formed, and the width of the first connecting part 121 is greater than that of the second connecting part 122, so that a first insertion hole 1221 can be opened on the end of the second connecting part 122 near the first connecting part 121. Correspondingly, a second insertion hole 112 that mates with the first insertion hole 1221 is opened on the support plate 11. The first insertion hole 1221 and the second insertion hole 112 are aligned so that the rotating shaft can pass through them. When the bracket body 1 is installed on the back of the photovoltaic panel 6 and unfolded to support the photovoltaic panel 6, the support plate 11 contacts the ground, and the support plate 11 can press the connecting plate 12 tightly against the back of the photovoltaic panel 6, providing stable support for the photovoltaic panel 6.

[0044] See Figure 3 As shown, the first connecting part 121 is provided with a first mating surface 1211, which includes a first arcuate surface 12111 and a first flat surface 12112. The support plate 11 is provided with a second mating surface 113 that mates with the first mating surface 1211. The second mating surface 113 includes a second arcuate surface 1131 and a second flat surface 1132. The first arcuate surface 12111 and the second arcuate surface 1131 are opposite to each other, and the first flat surface 12112 and the second flat surface 1132 are opposite to each other. When the support plate 11 is flipped open until the first flat surface 12112 and the second flat surface 1132 are in contact, the bracket body 1 is in the unfolded state.

[0045] Specifically, when the support plate 11 is flipped open to a certain angle and its lower end abuts against the ground, the second flat surface 1132 and the first flat surface 12112 abut against each other, thereby limiting the opening angle of the support plate 11, so that the included angle between the support plate 11 and the connecting plate 12 is always maintained at a predetermined angle.

[0046] See Figure 2As shown, a limiting protrusion 1222 is provided on the second connecting part 122. The limiting protrusion 1222 corresponds to the clearance notch 111. When the bracket body 1 is in the retracted state, the limiting protrusion 1222 is located in the clearance notch 111. This design can enhance the connection strength between the support plate 11 and the connecting plate 12. When the support plate 11 is unfolded outward, at least a portion of the limiting protrusion 1222 is embedded in the clearance notch 111, thereby preventing the support plate 11 from swaying left and right.

[0047] See Figure 2 As shown, the limiting protrusion 1222 includes a first inclined surface 12221 and a second inclined surface 12222, which are arranged opposite to each other.

[0048] The first inclined surface 12221 starts from the peak line of the limiting protrusion 1222 and gradually descends towards the second connecting part 122. The second inclined surface 12222 starts from the peak line of the limiting protrusion 1222 and gradually descends towards the second connecting part 122. This design serves two purposes: firstly, by embedding the limiting protrusion 1222 within the clearance notch 111, it enhances the connection between the support plate 11 and the connecting plate 12, thereby preventing the support plate 11 from swaying left and right; secondly, it avoids interference between the limiting protrusion 1222 and the flipping trajectory of the support plate 11, thus ensuring that the support plate 11 can be flipped open to the required opening angle.

[0049] See Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the support plate 11 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​part 114; the connecting plate 12 is provided with a corresponding second snap-fit ​​part 123. The first snap-fit ​​part 114 includes a mating hole 1141 and a first snap protrusion 1142 located in the mating hole 1141. The second snap-fit ​​part 123 includes a snap-fit ​​body 1231 and a second snap protrusion 1232 for mating with the first snap protrusion 1142. When the bracket body 1 is in the storage state, the upper end face of the first snap protrusion 1142 and the lower end face of the second snap protrusion 1232 abut against each other.

[0050] In this embodiment, the upper surface of the first latching protrusion 1142 is a first guide slope 11421, and the lower surface of the first latching protrusion 1142 is a second guide slope 11422. Correspondingly, the upper surface of the second latching protrusion 1232 is provided with a third guide slope 12321 that cooperates with the second guide slope 11422, and the lower surface of the second latching protrusion 1232 is provided with a fourth guide slope 12322 that cooperates with the first guide slope 11421.

[0051] When an external force drives the support plate 11 to move towards the connecting plate 12 to switch to the retracted state, the mating hole 1141 of the first locking part 114 approaches the second locking part 123, and the third guide slope 12321 first contacts the second guide slope 11422. Then, under the continuous action of the external force, the second locking part 123 deforms. At the same time, through the guiding characteristics of the slope, the second locking part 123 slides along the inclined direction of the second guide slope 11422 to smoothly engage with the mating hole 1141. This design effectively avoids jamming problems, reduces the fastening resistance, and improves the smoothness and efficiency of the fastening operation. After the second locking part 123 is fully engaged with the mating hole 1141, the fourth guide slope 12322 contacts the first guide slope 11421, thereby completing the locking.

[0052] The first latch 1142 and the second latch 1232 work together to enhance the stability of the bracket body 1 in the stored state and prevent the support plate 11 from accidentally loosening due to vibration.

[0053] It is worth mentioning that, in this embodiment, the support plate 11 can be flipped open relative to the connecting plate 12, so that the bracket body 1 is in an unfolded state, eliminating the need for tedious operations such as individual adjustments and repeated adjustments. Moreover, the support plate 11 can be flipped closed around the pivot, so that the first snap-fit ​​part 114 on the support plate 11 and the second snap-fit ​​part 123 on the connecting plate 12 can engage, allowing the bracket body 1 to quickly switch to a retracted state without the need to release the elastic band tension and tidy up one by one, thereby improving the ease of use of the portable photovoltaic panel module. Secondly, the connecting plate 12 and the support plate 11 are connected by a snap-fit ​​method, which can ensure the stability of the bracket body 1 in the retracted state and prevent the support plate 11 from being accidentally opened.

[0054] See Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown in one embodiment of this application, a plurality of concentric grooves 5 are provided on the support plate 11. The grooves 5 are filled with an adhesive medium, and Velcro is provided above the grooves 5. The adhesive medium is used to fix the Velcro to the support plate 11. Correspondingly, Velcro is also fixedly attached to the photovoltaic panel 6. When the bracket body 1 is in the storage state, the Velcro on the support plate 11 and the Velcro on the photovoltaic panel 6 are fixedly attached to each other, thereby enhancing the connection between the support plate 11 and the photovoltaic panel 6 and preventing the support plate 11 from being opened accidentally.

[0055] Compared to linear or dotted grooves, multiple spiral grooves 5 arranged in a ring shape form a closed annular structure on the surface of the support plate 11. On the one hand, this expands the effective contact area between the adhesive medium and the Velcro; on the other hand, the multiple spiral grooves 5 arranged in a ring shape can prevent the adhesive medium from spilling out during slight vibrations, ensuring that the adhesive medium always acts on the bonding interface between the Velcro and the support plate 11, thereby maintaining the durability of the anchoring effect.

[0056] See Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the lower end of the support plate 11 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 117, the plurality of protrusions are arranged at equal intervals along the width direction of the support plate 11, and each protrusion 117 is made of anti-slip silicone, or the surface of the protrusion 117 is provided with an anti-slip silicone layer.

[0057] When the support plate 11 is inclined to the ground, multiple protrusions 117 can be embedded in the micro-unevenness of the ground to form a mechanical interlocking effect, which effectively suppresses the tendency of the support plate 11 to shift along the tangential direction of the ground and improves the anti-slip performance of the support plate 11.

[0058] See Figure 5 As shown, both the support plate 11 and the connecting plate 12 are made of plastic. This reduces the weight of the flexible photovoltaic panel support structure, making it easier to carry, and also lowers production costs. Of course, the support member 11 and the connecting member 12 can also be made of other materials (such as metal materials, engineering plastics, etc.). Any equivalent substitution scheme that uses materials known in the art to achieve the same function and structure without departing from the core design concept of this utility model should be considered within the scope of patent protection of this utility model.

[0059] In one embodiment of this application, to enhance the structural strength of the support plate 11, a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 115 and a plurality of second reinforcing ribs 116 are provided on the support plate 11. The plurality of first reinforcing ribs 115 extend along the length direction of the support plate 11, and the plurality of second reinforcing ribs 116 intersect with the plurality of first reinforcing ribs 115 respectively. This design, by arranging the second reinforcing ribs 116 and the first reinforcing ribs 115 in an interlaced manner, forms a grid-like reinforcing structure, which improves the shear strength of the support plate 11 under lateral loads. Moreover, the node areas formed by the intersection of the ribs constitute local rigidity enhancement zones, which help to suppress local buckling caused by thin-wall effect, thereby improving the response stability of the support plate 11 under impact loads.

[0060] In summary, the flexible photovoltaic panel support structure proposed in this utility model includes a support body 1, which can switch between an unfolded state and a retracted state. The support body 1 includes a support plate 11 and a connecting plate 12, which are movably connected. When the support body 1 is in the unfolded state, an angle is formed between the connecting plate 12 and the support plate 11. When the support body 1 is in the retracted state, the connecting plate 12 and the support plate 11 are in contact. An adhesive groove 3 is provided on the end face of the connecting plate 12 facing away from the support plate 11, and the adhesive groove 3 is filled with an adhesive medium for connecting to the photovoltaic panel 6. This design, by providing an adhesive groove 3 on the end face of the connecting plate 12 facing away from the support plate 11, provides a bearing and working interface for the adhesive medium, allowing the connecting plate 12 to connect to the photovoltaic panel 6 through the adhesive medium. This eliminates the need for drilling holes in the photovoltaic panel 6, thereby avoiding damage to the original waterproof coating and sealing structure of the photovoltaic panel 6 and preserving the structural integrity of the photovoltaic panel 6. Secondly, the support plate 11 and the connecting plate 12 are movably connected, allowing the bracket body 1 to freely switch between an unfolded state and a retracted state. When the bracket body 1 is in the unfolded state, the two form a preset angle, replacing the traditional flexible adjustment method that relies on multiple elastic bands. This avoids the angle deviation problem caused by differences in the stretching of the elastic bands, eliminating the need to calibrate multiple elastic bands one by one, ensuring that the photovoltaic panel 6 maintains the predetermined light-receiving angle, reducing light absorption loss caused by angle deviation, and thus improving power generation efficiency. At the same time, the support plate 11 and the connecting plate 12 can fit tightly together when not in use, significantly reducing the space occupation of the bracket body 1, making it easy to carry, and enhancing the adaptability of the bracket body 1 in outdoor installation, temporary deployment, and other scenarios.
