[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a solar panel stand that can be easily installed in places where a relatively small amount of electricity is required, such as construction sites, factories, schools, hospitals, disaster areas, or event venues, and to a solar power generation facility that uses the same. [Background technology]

[0002] A conventional solar power generation panel mount of this type is, for example, an invention described in Utility Model Registration No. 3196260. That is, this solar panel mount is equipped with a power generation unit consisting of a gable body extending north-south and made up of solar panels forming an east-facing inclined surface and solar panels forming a west-facing inclined surface, and a mount supporting this gable body, in which a plurality of power generation units are arranged adjacent to each other parallel to each other with an east-west spacing, and in which light incident on each power generation unit is reflected by and received by an adjacent power generation unit due to the relative relationship between the apex angle of the gable body, the length of the solar panels in the inclined direction, and the east-west spacing of the power generation units, and the configuration is such that sunlight reflection loss can be reduced, light reception efficiency can be increased, and the amount of power generation can be increased.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3196260 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The conventional solar panel mounts described above require a relatively large installation area and are fixed to the installation area. Furthermore, the solar panels are installed at an angle toward the sunlight.

[0005] However, in places where only a relatively small amount of power is required and the power is only needed temporarily, such as construction site installation offices, disaster areas or event venues, or in places where there is no large installation space nearby, such as factories, schools or hospitals, a solar power generation system using the above-mentioned conventional solar panel mounting system may not be necessary or may not be able to be installed.

[0006] Furthermore, conventional solar panel stands are fixed to the installation location and are installed at an angle facing the sunlight at a predetermined angle. Therefore, when exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time, such as in the summer, the solar panel modules can become hot, causing a problem in which their power generation efficiency decreases.

[0007] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above points, and its purpose is to provide a solar panel stand and a solar power generation facility that uses the same, which can be easily installed simply by placing it in places where there is no power grid connection or where power is needed temporarily, and which can be installed regardless of the direction of the sun.

[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide a solar panel stand that can prevent a decrease in power generation efficiency of solar modules due to high temperatures, even in high temperatures such as summer, and a solar power generation facility using the same.

[0009] Furthermore, another object of the present invention is to provide a solar panel stand and a solar power generation facility that uses the same, which can capture reflected light from the ground and generate electricity efficiently by installing solar panel modules vertically.

[0010] In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a solar panel stand that can be disassembled for transportation and easily assembled at the installation site, and a solar power generation facility that uses the same. [Means for solving the problem]

Furthermore, since the surface on which the solar panels are installed can be rotated, the installation location does not need to be aligned with the sun. Furthermore, since the solar panel surface can be rotated 360 degrees, the solar modules can be prevented from becoming excessively hot, even in high temperatures such as summer, and a decrease in power generation efficiency due to high temperatures on the solar panel surface can be prevented. Additionally, since the solar panels can be installed vertically, they can capture light reflected from the ground, etc., allowing for efficient power generation.

[0013] The solar panel mount according to claim 2 is the solar panel mount according to claim 1, wherein the internal structure includes detachable legs.

[0014] With the solar panel stand described in claim 2, a solar panel power generation device can be installed simply by placing it on the ground, etc., and it can be effectively used in places that are not connected to the power grid or where power is needed temporarily, and the legs can be removed when necessary for transportation, storage, etc.

The circumferential rotating body has a polygonal prism shape with mounting portions on its outer surface to which solar panels can be attached. Therefore, the solar panel power generation facility can be installed simply by placing it on the ground or the like, and can be easily and quickly removed. This makes it effective in locations not connected to a power grid or where temporary power is needed. Furthermore, since the surface on which the solar panels are installed rotates, the installation location does not need to be aligned with the sun.

[0028] According to the solar panel stand of claim 4 or the solar power generation facility of claim 8, in the solar panel stand of claim 1 or 2, the rotating means includes a pinwheel attached to the inner peripheral side of the outer periphery rotating body and a motor having a pin gear meshing with the pinwheel attached to the internal structure, so that the pinwheel fixed to the outer periphery rotating body can be rotated by a motor having a pin gear fixed to the internal structure to rotate the outer periphery rotating body on the outer periphery side of the internal structure, and therefore the outer periphery rotating body can be rotated on the outer periphery side of the internal structure with a relatively simple structure. Also, when the rotation speed and operating time of the motor are controlled, the outer periphery rotating body can be rotated at a desired rotation speed and operating time.

[0029] According to the solar panel stand of claim 5 or the solar power generation facility of claim 9, in the solar panel stand of claim 3, the rotating means includes a pinwheel attached to the inner peripheral side of the outer periphery rotating body, and a motor having a pin gear meshing with the pinwheel attached to the internal structure, so that the pinwheel fixed to the outer periphery rotating body can be rotated by a motor having a pin gear fixed to the internal structure to rotate the outer periphery rotating body on the outer periphery side of the internal structure, and therefore the outer periphery rotating body can be rotated on the outer periphery side of the internal structure with a relatively simple structure.

[0031] An embodiment of a solar panel mount according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing the structure of the solar panel mount according to the present invention, Fig. 2 is a front view showing the solar panel mount (with solar panels already installed), Fig. 3 is a plan view showing the solar panel mount, Fig. 4 is a partial cross-sectional view taken along line BB, Fig. 5 is a partial cross-sectional view taken along line AA, Fig. 6 is a partial cross-sectional view taken along line CC, Fig. 7 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of a main part showing a gear motor portion, and Fig. 8 is a transverse cross-sectional view of a main part showing a power supply ring portion.

[0032] 1, the solar panel mount 10 according to the present invention includes an internal structure 20, a hexagonal prism-shaped outer peripheral rotating body 30, and a roof 40, and legs 51 of the internal structure 20 are detachably fixed with bolts and nuts. Similarly, the internal structure 20 and the roof 40 are detachably fixed with bolts and nuts.

[0033] As shown in Figures 1 and 4 to 8, the internal structure 20 has four upright pillars 21 (21a, 21b, 21c, 21d) made of round steel pipes so as to have a square shape in a plan view, and cross beams 22, 23, 24 are erected horizontally on adjacent pillars 21 for reinforcement, and the cross beams 22, 23, 24 are erected at three locations in the vertical direction: cross beams 22, 22, 22, 22 erected above the pillars 21, cross beams 24, 24, 24, 24 erected below, and cross beams 23, 23, 23, 23 erected above the midpoint between the cross beam 22 and the cross beam 24.

[0034] A roof 40 is detachably fastened to the upper ends of the support poles 21 with bolts and nuts. The roof 40 has a waterproof tent fabric material 42, such as tarpaulin, attached to the top of an umbrella-rib-shaped frame 41, and round rings 43 for transportation are attached to the frame 41 at four points. Arc-shaped rainproof members 44 are also attached to the outer edge of the roof 40.

[0035] Furthermore, a leg 51 is attached to the lower end of the support 21. The leg 51 is formed from a round steel pipe, and flanges 52 are attached to both ends thereof. The flange 52 attached to the lower end of the support 21 and the flange 52 at the upper end of the leg 51 are fastened and fixed in a freely detachable manner with bolts and nuts. As shown in FIG. 5, the flange 52 at the lower end of the leg 51 is fastened and detachably attached to a flange 53 attached to the upper end of a screw pile 54 buried in the ground, but this is not limiting, and the flange 52 at the lower end of the leg 51 may be placed directly on the ground or the like.

[0036] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, a turn rail bracket 25 for supporting the turn rail TR is attached facing outward to the lower part of each of the pillars 21 (21a, 21b, 21c, 21d), and the turn rail TR, which is made of an L-shaped steel formed into a ring shape, is attached to the tip of the turn rail bracket 25.

[0037] On the other hand, panel holding members 26, 26, 26, 26 are provided on the upper part of each support pillar 21 (21a, 21b, 21c, 21d) to protrude outward, thereby restricting the upward movement of the outer peripheral rotating body 30, which rotates as described below.

[0038] Furthermore, a gear motor bracket 27 is attached to the support pillar 21d to support a gear motor GM that rotates a pinwheel 36 (see FIGS. 6 and 7) described later.

[0039] In addition, two power supply ring brackets 28 for attaching a power supply ring 29 (see Figures 8 to 11) described later are attached to each of the horizontal beams 23, 23, 23, 23, facing outward, to support the power supply ring 29.

[0040] Furthermore, a power conditioner 66 (described later) is attached to the outside of the horizontal beam 24 via a support member (not shown), and a battery 65 is also attached as needed. Also, an output terminal 70 (described later) is attached to the horizontal beam 24.

[0041] 1 and 4 to 8, the outer periphery rotating body 30 is formed by assembling vertically elongated rectangular frame bodies 31 into a hexagonal prism shape so that it has a hexagonal shape in a plan view, and the frame bodies 31 are formed of horizontal and vertical frames, with three vertical bars 32 arranged at equal intervals in the vertical direction. Note that the outer periphery rotating body 30 is preferably formed into a pentagonal prism shape or an octagonal prism shape, taking into consideration the area of ​​one solar panel TP to be attached to the outer surface.

[0042] In order to rotate the outer circumferential rotating body 30 relative to the internal structure 20, caster brackets 33 supporting casters 34 placed on the turn rails TR provided on the outer periphery of the internal structure 20 are attached inward from the lower part of the central vertical beam 32 of each of the frame bodies 31. The casters 34 are attached to the lower parts of the caster brackets 33 attached to the frame bodies 31 on six sides.

[0043] 5 to 7, twelve pinwheel brackets 35 for supporting the pinwheels 36 are provided to protrude inward from the central vertical beam 32 of the outer circumferential rotating body 30 and from the joint between the frame bodies 31. The pinwheels 36 are arranged below the horizontal beams 23 so as to surround the periphery of each of the support posts 21 (21a, 21b, 21c, 21d).

[0044] The pin (not shown) of the pinwheel 36 is inscribed and meshed with the pin gear PG of the gear motor GM fixed to the support 21d via the gear motor bracket 27.

[0045] On the other hand, the casters 34 attached to the outer circumferential rotating body 30 via the caster brackets 35 are placed on the turn rails TR of the internal structure 20 so that they can rotate around the outer periphery of the internal structure 20. Therefore, when the gear motor GM rotates, the pinwheel rotates each of the pillars 21 (21a, 21b, 21c, 21d), and in response, the outer circumferential rotating body 30 also rotates around the internal structure 20.

[0046] Solar panels TP are attached to the six outer surfaces of the frame body 31 that constitutes the outer periphery rotating body 30.

[0047] FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the main part showing the power supply ring portion, FIG. 9 is an enlarged longitudinal section showing the power supply ring portion, FIG. 10 is an enlarged plan view showing the power supply ring portion, FIG. 11 is an enlarged side view showing the power supply ring portion, and FIG. 12 is a schematic power distribution block diagram of the solar panel power generation facility.

[0048] As shown in Figures 8 to 11, the power supply ring 29 is arranged in a ring shape with its open surface facing outward so as to surround the outer periphery of each of the C-shaped channel materials around the outer periphery of each of the support columns 21 (21a, 21b, 21c, 21d), and a trolley 61 for power supply is attached inside the C-shaped channel material.

[0049] Meanwhile, a power feed bracket 63 for attaching a power feed arm 62 is attached inward from a joint of the frame body 31, and the tip of the power feed arm 62 is fitted into the trolley 61 to transmit power generated by the solar panel TP from the solar panel TP to the power feed ring 29. The power feed arms 62 are provided at two of the six joints of the frame body 31, and each power feed arm 62 collects power from three solar panels TP via a relay terminal 64.

[0050] On the back side of the power supply ring 29, feed-in joiners 65 that are connected to the trolley 61 and send collected power to a power conditioner 66 are provided at two locations.

[0051] The power conditioner 66 has functions such as converting DC power generated and supplied by the solar panel TP into AC power and adjusting the power of the solar panel TP, which has large fluctuations in voltage and current, so that it can be supplied stably, and a portion of the power converted and adjusted by the power conditioner 66 is used as drive power for the gear motor GM via a motor protection switch 68. The other power supplied from the solar panel is stored in a battery 67 and transmitted to an output terminal 70 via a line protection switch 69. The battery 67 may be installed as needed, and may be connected to the gear motor GM and the output terminal 70 from the power conditioner 66.

[0052] In the solar power generation facility using the solar panel mount 10 according to the present invention configured as described above, the solar panels TP are attached to the outer surfaces, i.e., six surfaces, of the frame 31 constituting the outer periphery rotating body 30, so that the solar panels TP attached to the six surfaces of the outer periphery rotating body 30 also rotate when the outer periphery rotating body 30 rotates, allowing installation regardless of the direction of the sun, and further preventing the solar modules from becoming too hot even in high temperatures such as in summer, thereby preventing a decrease in power generation efficiency. Furthermore, because the solar panel modules are installed vertically, they can capture light reflected from the ground, etc., allowing for efficient power generation.

[0053] Furthermore, since the solar panel stand 10 has the above-mentioned configuration, it can stand on its own and can be easily installed by simply placing it down, so that solar power generation equipment can be installed in places that are not connected to the power grid or where power is needed temporarily.For example, solar power generation equipment can be easily installed in temporary offices set up at construction sites, disaster areas, event venues, etc., or in places such as factories, schools, hospitals, etc. where the large area required for installing a general solar power generation equipment cannot be secured nearby, and the required power can be supplied through the output terminal 70.

[0054] Furthermore, the internal structure 20 has a space inside, so that workers can enter from the space below to perform work, and the roof 30 and other components are provided, making it easy to work even in bad weather. In addition, electrical equipment required for power supply and distribution can also be placed inside, so it will not be exposed to bad weather.

[0055] Although the outer peripheral rotating body 30 is formed in the shape of a hexagonal prism, the present invention is not limited to this and may be a prism with more than six sides, such as an octagonal prism.

[0056] Furthermore, although the inner structure 20 is made of a round steel pipe or a C-channel material, it is not limited to this and may be made of, for example, a cylindrical body.

[0057] Furthermore, although the internal structure 20 is provided with separate legs 50, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the support columns 21 may be extended downward to serve as legs. [Explanation of symbols]
