[0002] During the installation, replacement, and maintenance of photovoltaic modules, manual or mechanical handling is often required. Currently, most common handling devices are fixed structures with non-adjustable widths, making it difficult to adapt to the handling needs of photovoltaic modules of different sizes. In addition, existing devices often suffer from low stability when carrying large or heavy photovoltaic modules.

[0003] Although some handling devices attempt to adjust width through simple telescopic structures, most lack effective locking and support mechanisms, which makes them prone to shaking, shifting, or even falling off during handling, affecting construction safety and efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a photovoltaic module handling device with a reasonable structure, adjustable width, and stable support to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0016] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-3 As shown, the photovoltaic module handling device is mainly used in the process of transporting photovoltaic panels (handling photovoltaic panels during assembly at the construction site and handling photovoltaic panels during maintenance and replacement). Specifically, it includes a left half-handling assembly 1 and a right half-handling assembly 2 arranged side-by-side. The left and right half-handling assemblies 1 and 2 constitute a handling device that provides handling capacity for photovoltaic panels. Two roller assemblies 3 are respectively installed below the left and right half-handling assemblies 2. These roller assemblies can use existing rollers with braking systems to give the handling device braking capability; the specific rollers can be selected and configured according to existing technologies as needed. The left and right half-handling assemblies 2 are designed to be either separated or joined to change the width of the handling device to accommodate photovoltaic panels of different widths. For example, when handling wide photovoltaic panels, the left and right half-handling assemblies 2 are separated to increase the overall width of the handling device; conversely, when handling narrow photovoltaic panels, the left and right half-handling assemblies 2 are joined together to reduce the overall width of the handling device, making it flexible for handling photovoltaic panels.

[0018] The left half of the conveying assembly 1 includes a left base plate 4, a first left insert rod 5, a second left insert rod 6, a left connecting rod 7, a left push frame 8, and a left bearing assembly 9. The left base plate 4 is arranged horizontally, and its upper surface is flat. The first left insert rod 5 and the second left insert rod 6 are parallel to each other and fixed at both ends on the inner side of the left base plate 4. The first left insert rod 5 and the second left insert rod 6 are arranged at 90° to the side of the left base plate 4. One end of the first left insert rod 5 is welded and fixed to one end on the inner side of the left base plate 4, and the other end extends outward in a horizontal direction. One end of the second left insert rod 6 is welded and fixed to the other end on the inner side of the left base plate 4, and the other end extends outward in a horizontal direction.

[0019] The two ends of the left connecting rod 7 are respectively connected to the top of the first left insert rod 5 and the second left insert rod 6 by bolts, which are used to fix the first left insert rod 5 and the second left insert rod 6, and enhance the overall connection strength between the two insert rods and the left half of the handling assembly 1. The upper surface of the left connecting rod 7 is also used to support the photovoltaic panel that is subsequently placed on the handling device. The left connecting rod 7 and the left base plate 4 are arranged in the same direction, that is, they are arranged in parallel. The left bearing assembly 9 is fixedly assembled on the top of the left base plate 4 for supporting the photovoltaic panel. The left push frame 8 is welded and fixedly set on the first left insert rod 5 for pushing or pulling by hand to apply external force to the handling device.

[0020] Similarly, the right half of the transport assembly includes a right base plate 10, a first right insert 11, a second right insert 12, a right connecting rod 13, a right push frame 14, and a right load-bearing assembly 15. The right base plate 10 is arranged horizontally, and the left base plate 4 has the same length, width, and height as the right base plate 10, forming a side-by-side arrangement in the horizontal direction. The first right insert and the second right insert are parallel to each other and fixedly installed at both ends of the inner side of the right base plate 10, that is, the first right insert 11 and the second right insert 12 are welded and fixed at 90° to the inner side of the right base plate 10. The two ends of the right connecting rod 13 are respectively connected to the upper parts of the first right insert 11 and the second right insert 12 by bolts, which is used to connect the first right insert 11 and the second right insert 12, increase the connection strength, and support the photovoltaic panels to be placed later. The right connecting rod 13 and the right base plate 10 are arranged in the same direction, that is, they are arranged in parallel. The right support assembly 15 is fixedly assembled on the upper part of the right base plate 10 to support the photovoltaic panels. The right push frame 14 is fixedly set on the first right insert rod and is used to push or pull to apply external force to the handling device. The setting position of the right push frame 14 and the upper left push frame 8 does not affect the insertion and adjustment of the insert rod and the insert.

[0021] The bearing surface of the left bearing component 9, the upper surface of the left connecting rod 7, the upper surface of the right connecting rod 13, and the bearing surface of the right bearing component 15 are all on the same horizontal plane to provide stable and effective support for the placed photovoltaic panel.

[0022] The first left insertion rod 5 and the first right insertion sleeve 11 are connected and fitted together, and a first locking structure is provided between them; the second left insertion rod 6 and the second right insertion sleeve 12 are connected and fitted together, and a second locking structure is provided between them; the distance between the left bearing component 9 and the right bearing component 15 is adjusted by the depth of the insertion rod into the sleeve, and the adjusted position is locked by the locking structure, thereby increasing the width of the entire handling device to accommodate the insertion of photovoltaic panels of different widths.

[0023] An adjustable support structure is provided between the left base plate 4 and the right base plate 10 to support them. That is, after the width of the conveying device is adjusted, the support between the left base plate 4 and the right base plate 10 can be further enhanced by the adjustable support structure, so that the structure of the conveying device is more stable.

[0024] In one embodiment, the left base plate 4 and the right base plate 10 are both stainless steel profiles with an I-shaped cross-section. Using I-shaped stainless steel profiles as base plates provides both strength and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for long-term use outdoors and in harsh environments. In this application, the I-shaped stainless steel profiles are arranged upright, with recesses on both sides. The roller assembly is bolted to the lower surface of the stainless steel profile to support the handling device and facilitate movement under external forces. The upper surface of the stainless steel profile serves as the mounting surface for the load-bearing components.

[0025] In one embodiment, the adjustable support structure includes a first support rod 16, a second support rod 17, and four sliding blocks 18. The four sliding blocks 18 are arranged in pairs at intervals in the recesses on the inner side of the same stainless steel profile. That is, two sliding blocks 18 are arranged at intervals in the recesses on the inner side of the same stainless steel profile. The sliding blocks 18 can be adjusted and moved along the length of the stainless steel profile within the recesses. The size of the sliding blocks 18 is smaller than the recesses on the inner side of the stainless steel profile. The sliding blocks 18 can be made of metal blocks. The sliding blocks 18 are arranged in the recesses as long as they can move along the length of the recesses.

[0026] In one embodiment, the first support rod 16 and the second support rod 17 are hinged together by a pin. The two ends of the first support rod 16 are hinged to two sliding blocks 18 that are not in the same group. The two ends of the second support rod 17 are hinged to the remaining two sliding blocks 18. The first support rod 16 and the second support rod 17 are arranged in a cross pattern. When the angle of intersection of the first support rod 16 and the second support rod 17 is different, the sliding block 18 is in different positions on the inner side of the stainless steel profile to adjust the distance between the left bottom plate 4 and the right bottom plate 10.

[0027] In one embodiment, a sliding hole 19 is provided on the stainless steel profile, extending along its length and connecting the inner and outer surfaces of the stainless steel profile. A sliding block 18 is located inside the sliding hole 19. A stud 20 is provided on each sliding block 18, with one end of the stud 20 welded and fixed to the sliding block 18, and the other end passing through the sliding hole 19 and located on the outer surface of the stainless steel profile. A locking nut 21 is threaded to this end, and a locking force is generated when the locking nut 21 is in contact with the outer surface of the stainless steel profile. A long sliding hole 19 can be provided on a stainless steel profile for two studs 20 on the same side to pass through, or two short sliding holes 19 can be provided as shown in the attached drawings of this application, so as to allow two studs 20 on the same side to pass through respectively, thereby reducing the number of sliding holes 19 and affecting the intermediate strength of the stainless steel profile. When adjustment is required, loosen the locking nut 21 to separate the locking nut 21 from the outer surface of the stainless steel. This allows adjustment of the insertion position between the insert rod and the insert sleeve. After adjustment, tighten the locking nut 21 to make it fit against the outer surface of the stainless steel profile to generate a locking force.

[0028] In one embodiment, the left support assembly 9 and the right support assembly 15 each include a bottom plate 22, a side plate 23, and a plurality of vertical plates 24. The bottom plate 22, side plate 23, and vertical plates 24 are made of metal and are fixedly welded together. The bottom plate 22 is arranged horizontally above the base plate and is connected to the corresponding base plate by countersunk screws to fix the entire support assembly to the corresponding base plate. The side plate 23 is vertically fixedly disposed at the outer end of the upper surface of the bottom plate 22. The plurality of vertical plates 24 are fixedly disposed at equal intervals at the inner end of the upper surface of the bottom plate 22, forming receiving slots 25 between adjacent vertical plates 24. The bottom wall of the receiving slots 25 is the aforementioned support assembly. The bearing surface; when projected from the side of the transport device, the receiving slots 25 formed in the left bearing assembly 9 and the receiving slots 25 formed in the right bearing assembly 15 overlap, and the receiving slots 25 at the same position in the left bearing assembly 9 and the right bearing assembly 15 correspond to the placement position of a photovoltaic panel. The vertical plate 24 has a certain height (set according to the height of the photovoltaic panel), which can effectively block the photovoltaic panel after it is placed in the receiving slot 25 to prevent the photovoltaic panel from tipping over; the upper surface of the bottom plate 22 between adjacent vertical plates 24, the upper surface of the left connecting rod 7, and the upper surface of the right connecting rod 13 are on the same horizontal plane to effectively support the lower end of the photovoltaic panel after insertion. Moreover, the side plate 23 can effectively block the side of the photovoltaic panel placed in the receiving slot 25, that is, prevent the photovoltaic panel from moving left and right after being placed.

[0029] In one embodiment, the first left insert rod 5, the second left insert rod 6, the first right insert sleeve 11, and the second right insert sleeve 12 are square tubes with rectangular cross-sections. The external dimensions of the insert rods are adapted to the internal hole dimensions of the insert sleeves to improve the stability of the connection between the insert rods and the insert sleeves.

[0030] In one embodiment, the first locking structure and the second locking structure are each two locking bolts 26. The locking bolts 26 can be inserted vertically into the insert rod and sleeve for locking, or they can be inserted horizontally into the insert rod for locking. At least two spaced first through holes are provided on the sleeve along its length, and two or more spaced second through holes 27 are provided on the insert rod along its length. The distance between the first through holes is equal to the distance between the second through holes 27. One locking bolt 26 is inserted into one first through hole. For example, the first left insert rod 5 and the first right sleeve 11 are simultaneously locked by two locking bolts 26 to enhance the stability of the position locking after adjustment, thereby correspondingly enhancing the structural stability of the handling device.

[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model.
