Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fence-type solar structure, and more particularly to a fence-type solar structure in which solar modules are installed vertically and wind is allowed to pass smoothly between the installed vertical fence-type solar modules. [Background technology]

[0002] In general, in order to solve the environmental and cost problems associated with energy production using fossil fuels and atomic power, there are increasing cases of utilizing various renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, wave, and geothermal energy.

[0003] Of these, solar power generation has the advantages of being less restricted by installation locations, being relatively simple to construct, and being easy to adjust the scale of power generation compared to other renewable energy sources such as wind power. As a result, it is often used in residential spaces such as houses and apartments, and recently solar power generation facilities are also being installed and used on agricultural land.

[0004] In order to increase the power generation efficiency of such solar power generation facilities, the solar modules must be installed on the support base at a predetermined inclination angle so that no shadows are created and sunlight is concentrated almost vertically.

[0005] Solar modules installed in this way are often damaged by natural disasters such as typhoons and heavy snowfall.

[0006] For example, if solar modules are installed horizontally or at an angle to the ground, they are more likely to be damaged or broken by heavy snow, whereas if solar modules are installed vertically to the ground, they are more likely to be damaged or broken by strong winds.

[0007] In particular, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, when the solar panels that constitute the solar module are installed vertically between both support rods, there is an advantage in that the space required for installing the solar module is reduced. However, since the solar panels installed vertically between both support rods are directly subjected to wind pressure from strong winds on all sides, the fixing structure that fixes the solar panels to the both support rods may be damaged or broken, which may cause the solar panels to fall from the both support rods and be broken.

[0008] [Patent Document 1] Korean Patent No. 10-2138744 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0009] The present invention has been made to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, and aims to provide a fence-type solar structure in which solar modules are installed vertically to the ground and wind can pass smoothly between the vertically installed fence-type solar modules. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] In addition, mounting frames may be installed on adjacent support pillars in each row to connect the upper and lower sides of the two support pillars, and the solar panels may be installed on the upper mounting frame and the lower mounting frame, and openings may be formed in the upper mounting frame and the lower mounting frame to allow wiring to be run inside them.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting member may be provided as a pair of connecting frames that are respectively connected to the adjacent support pillars of the front row and the rear row, connecting the support pillars of the front row and the support pillars of the rear row, and the connecting frames may be formed with connecting grooves having an inner diameter corresponding to the circumferential surface of the support pillars, and the pair of connecting frames may be connected in a state surrounding the support pillars.

[0013] moreover, The connecting member may be provided as a bend tube that is connected to the adjacent front row mount frame and rear row mount frame, respectively, to connect the front row mount frame and the rear row mount frame, and the bend tube may include straight fixing portions at both ends that are inserted into and connected to the front row mount frame and the rear row mount frame, respectively, and a bend portion formed by bending between the two fixing portions to correspond to the distance between the front row mount frame and the rear row mount frame.

Effect of the Invention

[0015] According to the fence-type solar structure of the present invention, the solar modules are installed vertically to the ground and air vents are formed to separate the vertically installed fence-type solar modules.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0017] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] The terms used in the present invention are terms defined in consideration of their functions in the present invention, and since they may differ depending on the intention or practice of a user or operator, the definitions of these terms should be interpreted in a meaning and concept consistent with the technical matters of the present invention.

[0019] Furthermore, the embodiments of the present invention do not limit the scope of the rights of the present invention, but are merely examples of the elements set forth in the claims of the present invention, and are embodiments that include elements that are included in the technical idea throughout the specification of the present invention and that can be replaced as equivalents in the elements of the claims.

[0020] Furthermore, optional terms in the following embodiments are used to distinguish one component from another, and the components are not limited to these terms.

[0021] Therefore, in describing the present invention, detailed descriptions of related publicly known techniques will be omitted if such descriptions would obscure the gist of the present invention.

[0022] 1 to 5B are diagrams showing a fence-type solar structure and each embodiment according to the present invention.

[0023] As shown in the figure, the fence-type solar structure of the present invention has a structure in which a plurality of support pillars 120 for installing the solar panels 110 that make up the solar module 100 are arranged in two rows, and the adjacent support pillars 120 in the front row and the support pillars 120 in the back row are connected to each other, thereby ensuring a supporting force sufficient to withstand wind pressure acting on each solar panel 110.

[0024] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, such a solar module 100 includes support pillars 120 that are installed in multiple rows on the ground, with the front row and the rear row arranged alternately with a space between them, solar panels 110 that are arranged alternately between the front row and the rear row between adjacent support pillars 120 in each row, and connecting members installed to connect the support pillars 120 in the front row on which the solar panels 110 are installed to the support pillars 120 in the rear row.

[0025] By doing this, ventilation holes 170 are formed at a predetermined interval between the front row solar panels 110 and the rear row solar panels 110, and even if wind pressure acts on the solar panels 110, the wind quickly blows through the ventilation holes 170, so that the wind pressure acting on the solar panels 110 can be quickly reduced.

[0026] In particular, the support pillars 120 may be provided as round bar pillars, but may also be provided as polygonal pillars if desired.

[0027] Such support columns 120 are arranged in a pair, with two columns positioned side by side, and the pair of support columns 120 are provided in a row, side by side with a predetermined interval between them.

[0028] Furthermore, between each pair of support columns 120 arranged in a row, another pair of support columns 120 is positioned in a rear row at a distance, and is alternately arranged with each pair of support columns 120 provided in the front row.

[0029] Solar panels 110 are installed vertically to the ground on each pair of support poles 120 in the front and rear rows, and the solar panels 110 are fixed to the pair of support poles 120 via multiple mounting frames 130, as shown in Figure 2.

[0030] Such a plurality of mounting frames 130 are connected to the upper and lower sides of a pair of adjacent support columns 120 in each row so as to be perpendicular to each other. As shown in Figures 3A and 3B, the mounting frame 130 and the support column 120 are fixed to the support column 120 by U-bolts 132 that surround the support column 120 and have both ends passing through the mounting frame 130 and fastened with nuts.

[0031] In particular, the U-bolt 132 is installed in an open state, sandwiching the support column 120 and surrounding the support column 120, and both ends of the opening side of the U-bolt 132 are connected in a state where they penetrate the mount frame 130, so that the mount frame 130 is firmly connected to the round bar support column 120 with the smallest fastening parts.

[0032] In addition, as shown in FIG. 3A, the mounting frame 130 is formed of a C-shaped steel having an opening 131 on one side, and the mounting frame 130 is provided with its front surface in contact with the rear portion of the support pillar 120, and the opening 131 is provided to be located behind the support pillar 120.

[0033] Such a mount frame 130 allows various electric wires, cables, etc. to be inserted through opening 131 and wired inside the mount frame 130. Since the mount frame 130 protects the electric wires and cables wired inside, damage to the electric wires and cables can be prevented, and stable solar power generation can be achieved.

[0034] In particular, both ends of U-bolt 132, which penetrates the front surface of mount frame 130 while surrounding support pillar 120, are provided within mount frame 130, as shown in FIG. 3B, and a nut is inserted through opening 131 of mount frame 130 and fastened to U-bolt 132. Therefore, the fastening portion between U-bolt 132 and the nut is not exposed to the outside, which not only results in a beautiful appearance but also prevents interference with surrounding components.

[0035] As described above, the solar panels 110 are respectively coupled to the front surfaces of the upper and lower mount frames 130 between the two support poles 120. Here, the solar panels 110 are provided to be fixed to the upper and lower sides of the mount frames 130 via separate brackets on the upper and lower sides, respectively.

[0036] Meanwhile, by connecting the front row support pillars 120 and the rear row support pillars 120 on which the solar panels 110 are installed with each other by connecting members, the front row solar modules 100 and the rear row solar modules 100 arranged in two rows are integrated, thereby ensuring a strong supporting force capable of withstanding wind pressure.

[0037] Here, the connecting members connecting the front row support columns 120 and the rear row support columns 120 are provided as a set of multiple connecting frames 140, as shown in Figures 3A to 3C, and the connecting frames 140 are provided as square frames or circular frames, but in this embodiment, a square frame will be used as an example for explanation.

[0038] A pair of connecting frames 140 are connected to the front and rear support columns 120 so as to be in surface contact with each other on both the left and right sides of the front and rear support columns 120, and are arranged to surround the front and rear support columns 120. A connecting groove 141 having an inner diameter corresponding to the outer diameter of the support column 120 is formed on both ends of each connecting frame 140.

[0039] The coupling groove 141 of each connecting frame 140 is formed in a shape corresponding to the radius of the support pillar 120, so that when multiple connecting frames 140 are joined together, the coupling grooves 141 of both connecting frames 140 form a circle that completely surrounds the circumferential surface of the support pillar 120.

[0040] In addition, fastening holes 142 that penetrate the fastening grooves 141 are formed at both ends of each connecting frame 140 having the fastening grooves 141, and fastening bolts 143 are passed through the fastening holes 142 and connected to the fastening holes 142, and nuts are fastened to the ends of the fastening bolts 143 that penetrate the fastening holes 142.

[0041] In addition, through holes corresponding to the fastening holes 142 of the connecting frame 140 are formed in the front row support pillars 120 and the rear row support pillars 120, and fastening bolts 143 are passed sequentially through the fastening holes 142 of the connecting frame 140 and the through holes of the support pillars 120 and nut-fastened, thereby firmly connecting the pair of connecting frames 140 to the front row support pillars 120 and the rear row support pillars 120.

[0042] In addition, such a pair of connecting frames 140 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the front row support pillars 120 and the rear row support pillars 120, respectively, and the pair of connecting frames 140 connected to the front row support pillars 120 and the rear row support pillars 120 are connected to fixed positions of the front row support pillars 120 and the rear row support pillars 120 by fastening bolts 143 that pass through each unit of connecting frame 140 and support pillars 120, so that the front row support pillars 120 and the rear row support pillars 120 are firmly connected to each other, ensuring the durability of the connection part.

[0043] In this manner, ventilation holes 170 are formed at a predetermined interval between the front row solar panels 110 and the rear row solar panels 110 connected by the connecting frame 140, and the ventilation holes 170 quickly disperse and exhaust the wind acting on the solar panels 110.

[0044] Therefore, in the present invention, the solar panels 110 are arranged alternately in two rows, and the front row support columns 120 and the rear row support columns 120 are connected and integrated, thereby improving the supporting capacity of the solar module 100. Furthermore, the air vents 170 between the front row support columns 120 and the rear row support columns 120 distribute the wind pressure acting on the solar panels 110, thereby efficiently reducing the wind pressure.

[0045] Meanwhile, the connecting member connecting the front row support columns 120 and the rear row support columns 120 may be configured in another embodiment as shown in FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B.

[0046] That is, the connecting member may be provided as a bent pipe 150 that is coupled to adjacent front row mounting frames 130 and rear row mounting frames 130, respectively, and connects the front row mounting frames 130 and the rear row mounting frames 130, as shown in Figures 4A and 4B.

[0047] Such a bent pipe 150 is formed of a hollow rectangular pipe or a cylindrical pipe, but in this embodiment, a hollow rectangular pipe will be taken as an example for explanation.

[0048] As shown in FIG. 4A, such a bend pipe 150 includes a straight-line fixed portion 152 whose both ends are inserted into and joined to the front row mount frame 130 and the rear row mount frame 130, respectively, and a bend portion 151 formed by bending between the two fixed portions 152 to correspond to the distance between the front row mount frame 130 and the rear row mount frame 130.

[0049] In particular, since the bend pipe 150 in this embodiment is formed of a hollow pipe, it has the advantage that the electric wires and cables wired inside the mount frame 130 are not exposed to the outside, but are pulled out and connected to the front or rear row mount frame 130 through the bend pipe 150.

[0050] Furthermore, such a bent pipe 150 is connected by U-bolts 132 that connect the support pillars 120 and the mount frames 130 with the fixing portions 152 at both ends inserted into the front row mount frames 130 and the rear row mount frames 130, respectively, as shown in Figure 4B.

[0051] That is, a plurality of through holes are formed in both fixing portions 152 of the bend pipe 150, through which the U-bolts 132 pass and are joined, and nuts are fastened to both ends of the U-bolts 132 that pass through the through holes, so that not only is the bend pipe 150 firmly joined within the front row mounting frame 130 and the rear row mounting frame 130, but the fastening portions for fixing the bend pipe 150 are kept to a minimum, thereby improving the strength and durability of the solar module 100 and providing a beautiful appearance.

[0052] However, in this embodiment, both fixing portions 152 of the bend pipe 150 are inserted into the front row mounting frame 130 and the rear row mounting frame 130, respectively, and connected by U-bolt 132, so that both ends of the U-bolt 132 to which the nuts are fastened are exposed to the outside from the opening 131 of the mounting frame 130, as shown in Figure 4B.

[0053] As described above, an air vent 170 similar to that of the above-described embodiment is formed between the front row solar panel 110 and the rear row solar panel 110 connected by the bend pipe 150 in this embodiment, so that the wind acting on the solar panel 110 is quickly dispersed by the air vent 170, thereby efficiently reducing the wind pressure acting on the solar panel 110.

[0054] Furthermore, the connecting member connecting the front row support columns 120 and the rear row support columns 120 may be configured in yet another embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B.

[0055] As shown in Figures 5A and 5B, the connecting member according to this embodiment includes a connecting pipe 160 arranged to be interposed between adjacent front and rear support columns 120, and fixing brackets 161 coupled to both ends of the connecting pipe 160 and the front and rear support columns 120, respectively, to connect the front and rear support columns 120.

[0056] In particular, it is preferable that the connecting pipe 160 provided between the front row support pillars 120 and the rear row support pillars 120 is provided as a square pipe having a length corresponding to the distance between the front row support pillars 120 and the rear row support pillars 120.

[0057] As described above, since the connecting pipe 160 is provided as a square pipe, the fixing brackets 161 coupled to both sides of the connecting pipe 160 are completely in close contact with both sides of the connecting pipe 160 and fastened thereto, so that a strong coupling force can be maintained.

[0058] In addition, the fixed bracket 161 is a member that connects both ends of the connecting pipe 160 to the front row support pillar 120 and the rear row support pillar 120, respectively, and one end of the fixed bracket 161 is provided as a large diameter end 161a that is connected to the support pillar 120 having an outer diameter relatively larger than that of the connecting pipe 160, and the other end on the opposite side is provided as a small diameter end 161b that is connected to the connecting pipe 160 having a diameter relatively smaller than that of the support pillar 120.

[0059] At the boundary between the small diameter end 161b and the large diameter end 161a of such a fixed bracket 161, an inclined portion is formed that gradually widens from the small diameter end 161b toward the large diameter end 161a, thereby ensuring durability against bending stress and torsion at the boundary connecting the small diameter end 161b and the large diameter end 161a.

[0060] The small diameter end 161b of the fixing bracket 161 is fastened to the fastening bolt 162 while in close contact with the side surface of the connecting pipe 160, and the large diameter end 161a of the fixing bracket 161 is fastened to the fastening bolt 162 while in contact with the circumferential surface of the support column 120, thereby connecting the connecting pipe 160 and the fixing bracket 161 together, thereby firmly connecting the front row support column 120 and the rear row support column 120, and ensuring the strength and durability of the connection.

[0061] As described above, an air vent 170 similar to that of the above-described embodiment is formed between the front row solar panel 110 and the rear row solar panel 110 connected by the connecting pipe 160 and the fixing bracket 161 in this embodiment, so that the wind acting on the solar panel 110 is quickly dispersed by the air vent 170, efficiently reducing the wind pressure acting on the solar panel 110.

[0062] The present invention has been described in detail above using specific embodiments. However, these are provided for the purpose of specifically explaining the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. It goes without saying that modifications and improvements can be made by those having ordinary knowledge in the relevant field within the technical spirit of the present invention.

[0063] Any simple modifications or alterations of the present invention are intended to be included in the present invention, and the specific scope of protection of the present invention will be defined by the claims. [Explanation of symbols]
