Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary equipment for photovoltaic module installation, specifically a temporary support device for unpacking photovoltaic modules. Background Technology

[0002] In the construction of photovoltaic power plants, photovoltaic module installation is one of the core steps. Currently, photovoltaic modules are generally transported in a packaged manner, vertically stacked on pallets and secured with strapping. They are then unpacked and installed at the installation site. However, this operational method has significant problems in practice, as follows: First, the support is difficult. After the packing straps are removed, the vertically stacked photovoltaic modules lose their restraint and are very prone to tipping over. Due to the large size and weight of the photovoltaic modules themselves, it is difficult to provide stable support by manpower for a long time, and suitable temporary supports are often not readily available at the construction site, resulting in the modules being in an unstable state after being unpacked.

[0003] Secondly, there are high safety and economic risks. The tipping of photovoltaic modules can not only cause damage to the modules and result in direct economic losses, but also pose a serious threat to the personal safety of nearby construction workers, creating potential safety hazards.

[0004] Third, the existing support methods have significant shortcomings. On the one hand, traditional support methods such as whole-frame components and wooden piles are severely limited by site terrain and space conditions, lack flexibility, and are difficult to adapt to different construction scenarios. On the other hand, some specialized support equipment has complex structures, high manufacturing costs, and is inconvenient to transport and install on site, making it unsuitable for frequent relocation and use in different construction environments.

[0005] In addition, some support devices require the assembly of a large number of parts on site, which makes them difficult to deploy smoothly in complex terrain or space-constrained sites. They also cannot be adapted to photovoltaic module packaging boxes of different specifications and sizes, resulting in poor versatility and difficulty in meeting actual construction needs.

This device can stably support photovoltaic modules during the unpacking process, is suitable for modules of different specifications and construction environments, and has a simple structure, is easy to fold and carry, and is convenient to install and disassemble. It can improve construction efficiency and reduce the risk of module damage and safety accidents.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a temporary support device for unpacking photovoltaic modules, comprising a foldable base, an angle-adjustable support column, and a detachable bracing mechanism; the support column is rotatably connected to the foldable base, and the bracing mechanism is detachably connected to both the support column and the foldable base to limit the tilt angle of the support column; the support column is provided with an anti-slip contact portion that conforms to the surface of the photovoltaic module, the foldable base is provided with a limiting component for fixing the position of the device, and the height of the support column is adjustable to accommodate photovoltaic modules of different specifications.

[0011] Preferably, the lower end of the vertical column is connected to the hinge support of the foldable base via a pin, and the middle part of the vertical column is provided with a hinge support for connecting the diagonal bracing mechanism.

[0012] Preferably, the diagonal bracing mechanism includes two diagonal braces and a connecting beam. The front ends of the two diagonal braces are connected to the hinged supports of the supporting column via pins, and the rear ends of the two diagonal braces are bolted to the connecting beam.

[0017] 3. Convenient and efficient operation, reducing construction costs: The device has a simple overall structure and is lightweight, requiring no on-site assembly of numerous parts. A single person can quickly complete the placement, adjustment, and fixing of the device. Furthermore, the device is foldable, resulting in a compact size that facilitates transportation and storage, reducing the space occupied during transfer and storage. In addition, the device's rapid deployment and disassembly significantly shortens support preparation time, improves the efficiency of unpacking photovoltaic modules and subsequent installation, and saves manpower, reducing construction time and labor costs.

[0018] 4. Durable and reliable structure, extending the service life of the device: The foldable base, support column and diagonal bracing mechanism of the device are all made of high-strength materials, which can withstand the weight load of photovoltaic modules and the impact of external forces during on-site operations. They are not easily deformed or damaged, and the structure is highly stable and durable. They can be reused on the construction site for a long time, reducing the frequency of device replacement and lowering equipment investment costs. Attached Figure Description

[0034] II. On-site operation of the equipment Combined with appendix Figure 5 (Diagram of working status) The steps for using this device in the unpacking of photovoltaic modules are as follows: (1) Device positioning and adjustment: Move the assembled device to the tray 23 of the photovoltaic module 22 packaging box, unfold the foldable base, and ensure that the left longitudinal beam 11, right longitudinal beam 13 and front cross beam 12 and rear cross beam 16 are perpendicular to each other at 90°; manually erect the left column 4 and right column 8, and adjust the tilt angle of the support column according to the tilt state of the vertical stacking of the photovoltaic module 22. At the same time, rotate the left diagonal brace 9 and right diagonal brace 15 so that the pins 19 at both ends of the cross beam 14 are inserted into the positioning holes 21 of the left longitudinal beam 11 and right longitudinal beam 13 to fix the angle of the support column.

[0035] (2) Device positioning and fitting: Push the device so that the length direction of the device (the extension direction of the longitudinal beam) is perpendicular to the length direction of the photovoltaic module 22 packaging box, and the device is in the center position of the packaging box; continue to push the device to insert the front ends of the left longitudinal beam 11 and the right longitudinal beam 13 into the gap of the tray 23 at the bottom of the photovoltaic module 22 packaging box, until the anti-slip pads 3 of the left column 4 and the right column 8 are tightly fitted with the side of the photovoltaic module 22 packaging box to avoid wear on the surface of the module.

[0036] (3) Fixing and confirming the device: Hold the hammer and drive the ground anchor 20 through the hole of the locking plate 18 into the ground. Fix the foldable base with the rope 17 and the locking plate 18 to prevent the device from moving during operation. Check again whether the pin 19 of the inclined bracing mechanism is fully inserted into the positioning hole 21 of the longitudinal beam and whether the anti-slip pad 3 is tightly attached to the surface of the component to ensure that the device is in a stable supporting state.

[0037] (4) Unpacking and subsequent operations: Remove the packing straps and outer packaging of the photovoltaic module 22 packaging box, and manually guide the module to slowly lean against the support column, so that the photovoltaic module 22 can remain stable by its own weight and the support force of the device; at this time, the construction personnel can safely carry out subsequent operations such as picking up and placing the photovoltaic module 22 piece by piece and installation. After the operation is completed, pull out the ground anchor 20, separate the pin 19 of the diagonal bracing mechanism and the longitudinal beam, and fold the support column and diagonal bracing mechanism to the top of the foldable base (as shown in the attached document). Figure 2-4 (As shown in the folded state), the device can be stored and moved.
