Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of photovoltaic module technology, and more particularly to a foldable photovoltaic module. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the country has vigorously developed clean energy, such as hydropower, wind power, and solar energy. Solar energy, as one of the clean energy sources, typically uses photovoltaic modules to convert electricity into electricity. When installing photovoltaic panels in mountainous areas, fish farms, sewage treatment plants, and large-span industrial plants, portal frames or flexible supports are generally used.

[0003] Flexible supports have the advantages of low cost and large span, but currently each photovoltaic panel installed on a flexible support is set up independently and locked to the suspension cable with several clamps. When it is necessary to install or remove photovoltaic panels on the flexible support, they can only be installed or removed one by one, which is cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0004] Therefore, how to shorten the time spent on installing and dismantling photovoltaic modules and improve the convenience and practicality of the equipment has become a problem that needs to be solved.

[0005] The information disclosed in the background section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the background of this application, and therefore may contain information that is not part of the prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0006] This application provides a foldable photovoltaic module to address the problems existing in the prior art.

[0007] This application provides a foldable photovoltaic module, comprising:

[0008] A photovoltaic support structure, comprising a support base and suspension cables disposed on the support base;

[0009] A plurality of photovoltaic panels are mounted on the suspension cable, with adjacent photovoltaic panels being foldable and connected. The photovoltaic panels are slidably connected to the suspension cable via a sliding assembly, the sliding assembly comprising:

[0010] A rotating shaft located on one side of the photovoltaic panel;

[0011] Rollers are located at both ends of the rotating shaft and are slidably mounted on the suspension cable.

[0012] In some embodiments, the roller is provided with a groove for receiving the suspension cable.

[0013] In some embodiments, the support base includes: a support column; and a crossbar disposed on the support column, the crossbar being provided with a tensioning assembly for fixing the suspension cable.

[0014] In some embodiments, the support column is further provided with a tie rod.

[0015] In some embodiments, the upper end of the tie rod is threadedly connected to the support column via a fixed connecting block.

[0016] In some embodiments, two adjacent photovoltaic panels are connected by hinges.

[0017] In some embodiments, at least two hinges are provided between two adjacent photovoltaic panels.

[0018] The foldable photovoltaic module provided in this application includes: a photovoltaic support frame, the photovoltaic support frame including a support base and a suspension cable disposed on the support base; a plurality of photovoltaic panels disposed on the suspension cable, adjacent photovoltaic panels being foldably connected, and the photovoltaic panels and the suspension cable being slidably connected by a sliding component, the sliding component including: a rotating shaft disposed on one side of the photovoltaic panel; and rollers disposed at both ends of the rotating shaft, the rollers being slidably disposed on the suspension cable. This application, by setting adjacent photovoltaic panels to be foldably connected and providing a sliding component on the photovoltaic panels, and slidably connecting the photovoltaic panels and the suspension cable through the sliding component, allows multiple connected photovoltaic panels to be folded together and quickly installed or disassembled as a whole. This method effectively shortens the time spent on installing and disassembling photovoltaic modules, improving the convenience and practicality of photovoltaic modules. Attached Figure Description

[0036] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the foldable photovoltaic module provided in this application. Figure 2 This is an enlarged schematic diagram of a partial structure of the foldable photovoltaic module provided in this application. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the unfolded state of the foldable photovoltaic module provided in this application, as shown below. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, this application provides a foldable photovoltaic module, including: a photovoltaic support, the photovoltaic support including a support base 3 and a suspension cable 2 disposed on the support base 3, the support base 3 being disposed at both ends of the suspension cable 2; a plurality of photovoltaic panels 1 disposed on the suspension cable 2, adjacent photovoltaic panels 1 being foldably connected, the photovoltaic panels 1 being slidably connected to the suspension cable 2 by a sliding component 4, the sliding component 4 including: a rotating shaft 41 disposed on one side of the photovoltaic panel 1; rollers 42 disposed at both ends of the rotating shaft 41, the rollers 42 being slidably disposed on the suspension cable 2.

[0037] This application sets up a foldable connection between two adjacent photovoltaic panels 1 and sets up a sliding component 4 on the photovoltaic panel 1. The photovoltaic panel 1 and the suspension cable 2 are slidably connected by the sliding component 4, so that multiple photovoltaic panels 1 connected together can be folded up as a whole and quickly installed or disassembled. The above-mentioned setup can effectively shorten the time spent on photovoltaic module installation and disassembly, and improve the convenience and practicality of photovoltaic modules.

[0038] In some embodiments, the roller 42 is provided with a groove for accommodating the suspension cable 2.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the width of the groove is the same as the width of the suspension cable 2, so as to improve the stability of the photovoltaic panel 1 in use.

[0040] refer to Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the support base 3 includes: a support column 31; a crossbar 32 disposed on the support column 31, and the crossbar 32 is provided with a tensioning assembly 33 for fixing the suspension cable 2.

[0042] refer to Figure 2 As shown, more specifically, in this embodiment of the application, the upper end of the support column 31 is provided with a first fixing plate 311, and the crossbar 32 is provided with a second fixing plate 321 for connecting with the first fixing plate 311. The contact surface between the first fixing plate 311 and the second fixing plate 321 is larger than the upper end surface of the support column 31. By setting the first fixing plate 311 and the second fixing plate 321, the crossbar 32 and the support column 31 are fixed by the first fixing plate 311 and the second fixing plate 321, thereby increasing the connection stability between the crossbar 32 and the support column 31.

[0043] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 or Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the support column 31 is also provided with a diagonal tie rod 5. The stability of the support base 3 is improved by providing the diagonal tie rod 5.
