Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic panel protection equipment technology, specifically a bird-proof device for photovoltaic panels. Background Technology

[0002] After installation, the photovoltaic panels are tilted at a certain angle to the ground, making them act like a natural roof. This provides shelter for birds' nests from wind and sun, as well as protection from predators such as eagles and snakes, offering a safe and stable environment. At the same time, the relatively independent space beneath the photovoltaic panels is less disturbed by human activities, which aligns with birds' preference for a quiet nesting environment. In addition, most photovoltaic power stations are built on open rooftops or ground, often surrounded by vegetation, providing birds with ample food sources such as insects and grass seeds. All these conditions combined make this an ideal nesting site for birds.

[0003] However, such photovoltaic panels are easily affected by birds. The dry grass, branches and other flammable materials in bird nests may cause fire risks when the photovoltaic panel circuit is abnormal in the summer high temperature. At the same time, bird droppings are conductive and may cause short circuits between photovoltaic modules after they accumulate, causing equipment failure or even electric shock hazards. Therefore, in view of this situation, this utility model proposes a new solution to improve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] like figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a bird-proof device for photovoltaic panels, comprising several bird-proof components arranged side by side to form a fence-like bird-proof structure, which prevents birds from entering under the photovoltaic panel through physical blocking. The bird-proof components include a conduit 1 and a stop bar 4. The stop bar 4 slides on the inner wall of the conduit 1 under the action of gravity, and part of the bar is always exposed outside the conduit 1. Since the photovoltaic panel may be installed in a non-planar space such as a roof, the setting of the stop bar 4 can make it always match the non-planar ground. The bird-proof device is installed on one end face of the photovoltaic panel by a clamp 5, without the need to drill or weld the photovoltaic panel body, thus avoiding damage to the photovoltaic panel structure.

[0023] like figure 2 As shown, to ensure the smooth implementation of this embodiment, it is necessary to understand that the top and bottom of the conduit 1 are both open, the stop bar 4 is inserted from the top of the conduit 1 from top to bottom, the conduit 1 is provided with a stepped opening 101 near the bottom opening, the top of the stop bar 4 is provided with a flat head 401, and the maximum diameter of the flat head 401 is greater than the diameter of the stepped opening 101. Through the cooperation of the stepped opening 101 and the flat head 401, the stop bar 4 can be prevented from slipping from the bottom of the conduit 1, ensuring that the stop bar 4 always remains partially exposed.

[0024] like figure 2 As shown, to ensure the smooth implementation of this embodiment, it is necessary to understand that each conduit 1 has a patch 2 fixed at its top end. The patch 2 is used to adhere to the end face plane of the photovoltaic panel, improving the adhesion stability between the bird-proof component and the photovoltaic panel. The patches 2 between the two bird-proof components are connected, and the connection is set with a false weld, which makes it easy to break the bird-proof component from the false weld line 202 according to the actual length of the photovoltaic panel, flexibly adjust the overall length of the fence-type bird-proof structure, and adapt to photovoltaic panels of different sizes.

[0025] like figure 2 As shown, to ensure the smooth implementation of this embodiment, it is necessary to understand that the bottom end of the conduit 1 is provided with a rib 102. The ribs 102 between the two bird-proof parts are also connected and are partially welded. This, together with the partially welded structure of the patch 2, ensures the integrity of the bird-proof parts connected side by side, while not affecting subsequent length adjustment. The bird-proof parts are arranged in a row at the factory, and users can cut them as needed.

[0026] like figure 2As shown, to ensure the smooth implementation of this embodiment, it is necessary to understand that a plug 3 is provided at the top of the conduit 1. The plug 3 is interference-fitted with the top opening of the conduit 1, and the plug 3 covers the top surface of the conduit 1 and the patch 2 to form a plane. This can prevent dust and rainwater from entering the conduit 1 and affecting the sliding of the baffle 4, and also ensure the flatness of the top of the bird-proof device to avoid scratching people or photovoltaic panels.

[0027] like figure 3 As shown, to ensure the smooth implementation of this embodiment, it is necessary to understand that the clamp 5 is an elastic plastic part with an inverted U-shaped notch 501 on one side. The diameter of the inverted U-shaped notch 501 is adapted to the width of the patch 2 plus the plug 3, ensuring that the clamp 5 can be stably engaged with the bird-proof part. The end of the inverted U-shaped notch 501 is provided with a protrusion 503 for clamping the end face of the photovoltaic panel, enhancing the installation firmness. The surface of the clamp 5 is also provided with a lever 502, which makes it convenient for personnel to manually move the clamp 5 for installation or removal, improving the ease of operation.

[0028] Looking back figure 2 To ensure the smooth implementation of this embodiment, it is necessary to understand that each patch 2 has an arc-shaped notch 201 on both sides. When two bird-proof components are placed side by side, the arc-shaped notches 201 of adjacent patches 2 can be spliced ​​to form a round hole. Screws can be set at the round hole to directly connect the bird-proof component to the photovoltaic panel. This is suitable for scenarios with high requirements for installation stability, forming a dual fixing option of clamps and screws, and improving the adaptability of the device.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended embodiments and their equivalents.
