Description

[0001] Support system for arranging a photovoltaic unit

[0002] The invention relates to a support system for arranging a photovoltaic unit according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

[0003] A support system designed for arranging a photovoltaic unit is known from the prior art. The support system comprises a plurality of photovoltaic modules and a plurality of support elements, wherein the support elements are arranged at a distance from one another. The support elements are each connected to a bearing element for supporting the photovoltaic modules, wherein the respective bearing element has a first bearing section for supporting a first photovoltaic module and a second bearing section for supporting a second and / or a further photovoltaic module. The respective support element is integrally connected to at least one base surface support element designed as a plate, wherein the base surface support element is arranged on the base surface.Particularly on a very solid and hard ground surface, which may be made of concrete, for example, attaching the support elements to the ground surface requires increased labor. If contaminated sites or materials that must not come into direct contact with the environment are located below the ground surface, then in extreme cases drilling holes into the concrete ground surface may not even be possible, as drilling could cause leaks for the contaminated sites located in the ground. Consequently, the ground surface support elements rest on the ground to ensure support of the support system. Since the ground surface support elements are not connected to the ground surface or the ground, stable and secure support of the support system cannot be guaranteed.For example, during a storm or windy weather conditions, the support system containing the photovoltaic unit could shift. This shift in the support system also changes the position of the photovoltaic modules relative to solar radiation, making optimal energy generation impossible if, for example, the photovoltaic modules were to shift to a northerly orientation.

[0004] In some cases, holes can be drilled into the ground to accommodate the support elements of the support system. However, if the support elements cannot be installed very deep in the ground, there is also a risk that the support system with the photovoltaic unit could shift during a storm or windy weather conditions, resulting in the disadvantages described above. Therefore, the object of the invention is to mount a support system safely and stably and to ensure reliable energy generation by the photovoltaic unit regardless of external environmental influences.

[0005] The problem is solved by patent claim 1, in particular by the characterizing part of patent claim 1.A support system for arranging a photovoltaic unit is provided, wherein the support system comprises at least two photovoltaic modules and at least two support elements, wherein the support elements are arranged at a distance from one another, wherein the support elements are each connected to a bearing element for supporting at least one of the photovoltaic modules, wherein the respective bearing element has at least a first bearing section for supporting at least the first photovoltaic module and / or a second bearing section for supporting at least the second and / or a further photovoltaic module, wherein the respective support element is connected to at least one ground surface support element in a form-fitting and / or force-fitting and / or material-fitting manner, wherein the ground surface support element is arranged at least partially on a ground surface and / or at least partially in a ground.

[0006] The object is achieved in particular in that at least one container is provided for storing the carrier system, to which at least one carrier element is assigned, wherein the container comprises at least one side wall and at least one bottom wall, wherein the bottom wall has a first recess which is at least partially designed for the passage and / or arrangement of the carrier element, wherein the bottom surface support element is arranged at least partially, preferably completely below the bottom wall.

[0007] This measure advantageously ensures stable and secure storage of the support system, thus guaranteeing reliable energy generation by the photovoltaic unit. Displacement of the support system due to external environmental influences can be advantageously prevented. The container, in particular its own weight, can ensure that the support system maintains its position even under extreme environmental influences, particularly weather conditions, and thus the desired orientation of the photovoltaic unit, in particular the photovoltaic modules, can still be maintained, thus guaranteeing safe and reliable energy generation.The respective support element arranged in the first recess can also make an additional contribution to a safe and reliable arrangement of the support system, because the support element can already be arranged, in particular mounted, in the first recess in a stable and secure manner. Due to this solution according to the invention, an additional drilling into the ground or on the ground surface can be dispensed with, in particular if the ground and / or the ground surface is made of a very hard material, such as concrete, or if drilling into the ground or into the ground surface is prohibited for safety reasons, for example because there are contaminated sites or the like below the ground surface, in particular within the ground, which must not come into contact with the external environment.

[0008] The support system can be assembled, for example, in the following steps. First, the support element with the ground surface support element can be positioned on the ground surface and / or on the ground. The support element can then be guided through the first recess of the container until the container contacts the ground surface support element. This allows the container to rest on the ground surface support element, ensuring secure support of the support element. The bearing elements, which are then intended for arranging the photovoltaic modules, can then be arranged on the support element.

[0009] The container can also be designed for the arrangement and / or passage of two or three or more support elements, wherein each support element is preferably provided with at least one base surface support element. For this purpose, a (first) recess should preferably be provided for each support element for the passage and / or arrangement of the same in the container.

[0010] The support element can be made of steel, for example, which preferably has a ridge or a smooth surface. Furthermore, the support element can be designed as a rod with a round, particularly circular, cross-section. The support elements of the support system can be at least partially connected to one another with at least one cross brace, which further improves the stability of the support system.

[0011] The container can also be constructed in multiple parts, for example, consisting of two halves that can be folded together via at least one hinge arranged on the container. The container can also be designed as a grid-shaped container. This has the advantage that less material needs to be used for the container. In this case, the container is preferably made of metal or plastic.

[0012] Preferably, the support element can be designed as a fastening element that is connected to the floor surface and / or the floor in a force-fitting and / or form-fitting manner. In particular, the support elements can be arranged at a distance from one another and each connected to a floor surface of a floor and / or to the floor in a force-fitting and / or form-fitting manner.

[0013] According to a preferred embodiment of the support system, it can be provided that the base surface support element at least partially, preferably completely, contacts an outer surface of the base wall. Tilting of the container can be substantially prevented by this measure, whereby stable and secure storage of the support system can be further improved. Therefore, the base surface support element should be arranged between the base wall and the base and / or between the base wall and the base surface in order to be able to arrange, in particular clamp, the base surface support element in a movement-resistant and jerk-free manner. This can advantageously be ensured if at least 20% to 100%, preferably 50% to 95%, particularly preferably 100% of a surface of the base surface support element that faces the outer surface of the base wall is arranged below the base wall.In order to prevent the support element and / or the floor support element from tipping over accidentally, it can be provided that a surface of the first recess is not larger than the size of the surface of the floor surface support element.

[0014] According to a further preferred embodiment of the support system, the first recess can be designed as a hole with a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the support element, wherein the area of ​​the hole is not larger than the surface of the base surface support element. This measure makes it possible to assemble the container quickly and easily. The hole in the container can serve as a guide element to enable the container to be mounted precisely on the support element. If the diameter of the hole is, for example, 1 mm to 3 mm larger than the diameter of the support element, which is preferably designed as a rod, the container can be positioned very precisely at the desired location.

[0015] The support system can be stored even more stably and securely on the ground and / or ground surface if a fill material is arranged within the container. The fill material can ensure that the container remains in its preferred position even in stormy weather conditions. This also advantageously prevents the support system from shifting or moving. The weight of the fill material acts on the ground surface support element and can thus prevent it from moving. The support system can be provided very cost-effectively if the fill material comprises shredded concrete material and / or recycled material, in particular recycled concrete material. The shredded material can be poured directly and quickly into the container by one person, for example using a bucket.This eliminates the need for expensive and cost-intensive pouring with concrete. In addition, the recycled material can reduce environmental pollution because it is returned to the technical cycle. Likewise, the container can be made of plastic, preferably recycled plastic, or metal to reduce environmental pollution. If the container is made of metal, preferably steel, the shredded concrete material cannot damage the container when poured into it because the walls of the container can preferably be designed to be very robust and stable. It is also conceivable for the container to be designed as a tray, in particular as a plastic tray or as a metal tray, preferably as a sheet metal tray, which is designed to ensure secure placement of the filling material.The tub can be cuboid, oval, round, or circular, for example. If the side wall of the container is designed as a continuous and self-contained side wall, it can be manufactured very cost-effectively. In particular, the filling material can then be stored safely and reliably within the container.

[0016] According to a further preferred embodiment of the support system, the surface of the base surface support element can be substantially flat, with the base surface support element preferably being designed as a plate and / or a disc. This ensures good contact between the base surface support element and the base wall of the container, thus guaranteeing secure and stable storage of the support system. Within the meaning of the invention, "flat" can mean that the base surface support element has a flat and preferably substantially smooth surface. The plate and / or disc can, for example, be round, in particular circular, square, or rectangular.

[0017] According to an alternative embodiment of the support system, the base surface support element can be designed as a pyramid. It can be provided that the base surface support element is designed as an at least three-sided, preferably four-sided pyramid, which comprises at least three side planes, preferably four side planes, wherein the pyramid can have a truncated pyramid which is designed to arrange the second recess and is designed for the passage and / or arrangement of the support element. Side planes of the pyramid can be arranged at a very shallow angle to the base surface and / or the base. The angle between the respective side plane and the base surface and / or the base is preferably in the range of 1 degree to 10 degrees, so that tilting of the container resting on the pyramid-shaped base surface support element can be ruled out.The truncated pyramid can be designed as a hollow cylinder. Alternatively, the truncated pyramid can be designed as a simple opening, which is formed as a second recess.

[0018] The pyramid-shaped floor surface support element has the advantage that it can be designed to be very stable due to the inclined side planes and can therefore make a significant contribution to the safe and stable storage of the support system.

[0019] The stability of the support system can therefore be further improved if the ground surface support element is cuboid-shaped or round-shaped, preferably circular or pyramid-shaped.

[0020] According to a further preferred embodiment of the support system, the floor surface support element can be made of metal, in particular stainless steel, galvanized steel, or hot-dip galvanized steel. Thus, the floor surface support element can also be protected against external environmental influences, such as moisture and wetness. This significantly extends the service life of the floor surface support element.

[0021] In order to reliably prevent, for example, the accumulation of rainwater inside the container and to ensure better drainage, it can be provided that at least one further recess is arranged in the side wall and / or in the bottom wall of the container, which is designed as a drainage recess for carrying away liquids, in particular water, from the container. The at least one further recess should preferably be designed so large that essentially no filling material can be washed out of the container. The at least one further recess could, for example, be provided with a grid which is designed as a filter and advantageously prevents the filling material from flowing out. This can be useful if the filling material is made of a fine-grained material, such as sand.

[0022] The photovoltaic module can be stored simply, stably and safely if the respective storage element has a base section which is adjacent to the first storage section and / or second storage section, wherein the base section has a base fastening section which is designed for arranging the support element.

[0023] The energy generation can be significantly improved if the support system comprises at least the first and the second support element, wherein the distance of the bearing element of the first support element to the ground surface is longer than the distance of the bearing element of the second support element to the ground surface, wherein the first bearing section and the second bearing section of the bearing element of the first support element are arranged at an angle alpha1 of greater than or equal to 180 degrees to one another and the first bearing section and the second bearing section of the bearing element of the second support element are arranged at an angle alpha2 of less than or equal to 180 degrees to one another.

[0024] The floor surface support element can be connected to the support element very easily and cost-effectively if the floor surface support element has at least one second recess for the passage and / or arrangement of the support element. If the floor surface support element is preferably pyramid-shaped, the support element can also be supported on the floor and contribute to an even more stable support of the support system. At least a section of the support element could be arranged within the pyramid of the floor surface support element.

[0025] According to a preferred embodiment of the support system, it can therefore also be provided that the support element is at least partially arranged within the ground, or is arranged at a distance from the ground surface, or is supported on the ground surface and / or on the ground. If the support element is arranged within the ground, it can be driven into the ground beforehand or inserted or driven into a hole previously created in the ground and / or ground surface. In a subsequent step, the container can then be mounted so that the ground surface support element preferably at least partially contacts the container.

[0026] It is also conceivable to first position the container on the floor surface and / or the floor. Subsequently, a centering aid could be arranged on the container, which is designed to arrange the support element and / or the floor surface support element on the floor surface and / or in the floor. Thus, a support element section of the support element can be arranged within the floor. In this case, the support element section of the support element can be hammered into the floor or a bore, in particular a floor hole, is provided in the floor, into which the support element section of the support element can be pushed, inserted or hammered, such that the support element section of the support element is connected to the floor and / or the floor surface in a force-fitting and / or form-fitting manner.

[0027] The centering aid can, for example, comprise an opening for the carrier element to pass through. The centering aid can, for example, have struts that can be temporarily arranged, in particular supported, on the container, in particular on at least one side wall. The struts can be arranged in a star-shaped manner relative to one another, with the opening located at the center of the struts.

[0028] By spacing the support element from the floor surface, material for the support element can be saved because shorter support elements can then be used.

[0029] The invention and the technical environment are explained in more detail below with reference to the figures. It should be noted that the figures show particularly preferred embodiments of the invention, but the invention is not limited thereto.

[0043] Figure 1 shows a support system 1 according to the invention according to a first embodiment, which comprises a plurality of photovoltaic modules 2 and a plurality of support elements 3, preferably designed as rods, wherein the support elements 3 are arranged at a distance from one another. The respective support element 3 is connected to at least one ground surface support element 4 in a form-fitting and / or force-fitting and / or material-fitting manner, wherein the ground surface support element 4 in the present exemplary embodiment is arranged on a ground surface 5 or, alternatively, is arranged at least partially on the ground surface 5 and / or in a ground 6. Furthermore, at least one container 7 is provided for storing the support system 1, to which at least one support element 3 is assigned, which is arranged at least partially within the container 7.The container 7 can be made of plastic, preferably recycled plastic, or metal, for example. Furthermore, the container 7 can be designed as a tray, in particular as a plastic tray or as a metal tray, preferably as a sheet metal tray. Figure 2 shows a section of the support system 1 according to the first embodiment in more detail, with the structural design of the support system 1 being illustrated in more detail with reference to this Figure 2. The support system 1 here comprises four photovoltaic modules 2a-2d and nine ground surface support elements 4 (not shown in detail). The ground surface 5 and the ground 6 are not shown in detail in Figure 2, whereby the respective ground surface support element 4 can rest at least partially on the ground surface 5 or, alternatively, can be arranged at least partially or completely within the ground 2.The respective floor surface support element 4 has at least one second recess 8 for the passage and / or arrangement of the support element 3. Preferably, each support element 3 is assigned exactly one floor surface support element 4.

[0044] Furthermore, the support system 1 in Figure 2 comprises nine support elements 3, of which five support elements 3a-3e can be seen. Each of the nine support elements 3 is assigned a bearing element 9a-9i for supporting the photovoltaic modules 2a-2d. In the present exemplary embodiment, for example, the distance of the bearing element 9d of the support element 3d to the ground surface 5 is longer than the distance of the bearing element 9c or 9e of the support element 3c or 3e to the ground surface 5 (not shown in detail in Figure 2). This arrangement can also be designed analogously to the other support elements 3 and bearing elements 9 of the support system 1, so that, for example, a wave-shaped arrangement of the photovoltaic modules 2 is achieved, as can be seen in the side view of the support system 1 in Figure 1.

[0045] Furthermore, the carrier system 1 in Figure 2 comprises nine containers?, of which seven containers 7a-7g can be seen.

[0046] Figure 9 shows a bearing element 9 which can be arranged, for example, in the carrier system 1 according to the first and / or second embodiment of the carrier system 1, as shown, for example, in Figures 1 and 5. The bearing element 9 has a first bearing section 10, for example, for supporting the first photovoltaic module 2a and the second photovoltaic module 2b, and further has a second bearing section 11 for supporting the third photovoltaic module and fourth photovoltaic module, which are not shown in detail in Figure 3. The respective photovoltaic module, in particular here the photovoltaic modules 2a, 2b, are each formed with a frame element 12a, 12b, which each comprises a frame section 13a, 13b. In the present exemplary embodiment, the first bearing section 10 and the second bearing section 11 each comprise two stop elements 14a, 14b and 14c, 14d, respectively.The respective stop element 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d can, for example, be designed as a retaining lug which protrudes from the respective bearing section 10, 11 of the bearing element 9.

[0047] The first bearing section 10 shown in Figure 9 and the second bearing section 11 of the bearing element 9 of the present carrier element 3 are arranged at an angle alpha2 of less than or equal to 180 degrees to one another. This corresponds, for example, to the bearing elements 9a, 9b, 9c, 9e, 9f, 9h shown in Figures 2 and 5, respectively. The first bearing section 10 and the second bearing section 11 of the bearing elements 9d, 9g, 9i (Figures 2 and 6, respectively) are arranged at an angle alpha1 of greater than or equal to 180 degrees to one another.

[0048] Furthermore, the bearing element 9 has a base section 15, which adjoins the first bearing section 10 and the second bearing section 11, wherein the base section 15 has a base fastening section 16, preferably designed as a circular or round-shaped hole, which is designed for the arrangement of the support element 3. On the first bearing section 10 and the second bearing section 11, a clamp fastening section 17a, 17b is provided for the arrangement of a clamping element (not shown in detail), which, for example, connects at least the first photovoltaic module 3a and the second photovoltaic module 3b to one another in a force-fitting and / or form-fitting manner.

[0049] Figures 3a, 3b and 4a, 4b respectively illustrate one of the containers 7 of the carrier system 1 according to the first embodiment by way of example. In Figures 3b and 4b respectively, the container 7 is shown transparently in order to better recognize and describe the arrangement of the base surface support element 4 arranged beneath the container 7. The container 7 comprises at least four side walls 18a, 18b, 18c, 18d and a base wall 19. The side walls 18a-18d of the container can be designed here, for example, as a continuous and self-contained side wall. It is also conceivable for the container 7 to be formed from four individual side walls 18a-18d that can be connected to one another.The bottom wall 19 has a first recess 20, which is at least partially designed for the passage and / or arrangement of the support element 3, wherein the bottom surface support element 4 is arranged, for example, at least in the present case, completely below the bottom wall 19. The bottom surface support element 4 at least partially, alternatively preferably completely, contacts an outer surface of the bottom wall 19. Thus, the bottom surface support element 4 is arranged between the bottom wall 19 and the floor 6 and / or between the bottom wall 19 and the floor surface 5. Consequently, at least 20% to 100%, preferably 50% to 95%, and in the present case particularly preferably substantially 100% of a surface of the bottom surface support element 4 facing the outer surface of the bottom wall 19 can be arranged below the bottom wall 19.In this case, an area of ​​the first recess 20 is not larger than the size of the surface of the ground surface support element 4. In the present first embodiment of the carrier system 1, the first recess 20 is designed as a hole which has a diameter which is larger than the outer diameter of the carrier element 3, wherein the area of ​​the hole is not larger than the surface of the ground surface support element 4.

[0050] In the present case, the floor surface support element 4 is designed as a pyramid and made of metal, in particular of stainless steel or galvanized steel or hot-dip galvanized steel. The floor surface support element 4, which can be used for the support system 1, for example, is designed here as a four-sided pyramid comprising at least four side planes, wherein the pyramid has a truncated pyramid which is designed to accommodate the second recess 8 and is designed for the passage and / or arrangement of the support element 3. In the present exemplary embodiment, the truncated pyramid is designed as a hollow cylinder. Alternatively, the truncated pyramid can be configured merely as a simple opening, which is designed as a second recess 8.

[0051] To further improve the stability of the support system 1, a filling material (not shown in detail) can be arranged within the container 7. The filling material can comprise shredded concrete material and / or recycled material, in particular recycled concrete material.

[0052] Figure 5 shows a support system 1 according to the invention according to a second embodiment. For the second embodiment of the support system 1, the same reference numerals are used for components / features as for the first embodiment of the support system 1. The support system or components of the support system 1 shown in Figures 5, 6, 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b are very similar to the first embodiment of the support system 1. The difference between the first and the second embodiment is that preferably all support elements 3, 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, 3e of the support system 1 are at least partially arranged within the floor 6 in order to further improve the stability of the support system 1. Thus, a support element section 21 of the support element 3 is arranged within the floor 6.In this case, the support element section 21 of the support element 3 can be hammered into the base 6 or a bore, in particular a base hole, is provided in the base into which the support element section 21 of the support element 3 can be pushed or inserted or hammered, so that the support element section 21 of the support element 3 is connected to the base 6 in a force-fitting and / or form-fitting manner.

[0053] Furthermore, the support elements 3f and 3g are visualized in Figure 6.

[0054] Alternative embodiments of the support system 1 are conceivable. Thus, it is possible to design the base surface support element 4 preferably as a plate and / or disc. The surface of the base surface support element 4 can alternatively be substantially flat. Furthermore, it is possible for the base surface support element 4 to be cuboid-shaped or round, preferably circular, and / or made of metal, in particular stainless steel or galvanized steel or hot-dip galvanized steel. Furthermore, at least one further recess can be arranged in the side wall 18a-18d and / or in the base wall 19 of the container 7, which recess is designed as a drainage recess for draining liquids, in particular water, from the container. Alternatively, it is possible for the support element 3 to be arranged at a distance from the base surface 5 or to be supported on the base surface 5 and / or on the base 6.
