[0002] With the increasing awareness of environmental protection and the continuous development of new energy technologies, solar photovoltaic systems have become a hot topic of concern for more and more people, and their applications are becoming more and more extensive.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] Referring to Figures 1 to 3, the present invention is a photovoltaic module drone transport and hoisting device, comprising a drone body 1; the drone body 1 is a conventional large drone in the art; a rope mechanism 2 is connected to the bottom of the drone body 1; a support mechanism 3 is connected to the lower portion of the rope mechanism 2; a separator 4 is mounted at the lower portion of the support mechanism 3; and a first limiter 5 and a second limiter 6 are mounted at the upper portion of the support mechanism 3. During use, multiple photovoltaic modules are vertically placed side by side on the support mechanism 3, separated by the separator 4, and the sides of the photovoltaic modules are limited by the first limiter 5 and the second limiter 6. The support mechanism 3 is then connected to the drone body 1 by the rope mechanism 2. Finally, the photovoltaic modules are airlifted to a designated location via the drone body 1, thereby effectively improving the transportation efficiency of the photovoltaic modules and ensuring the progress of the project installation and construction.

[0031] As shown in Figures 2 to 4 , the rope mechanism 2 includes a pair of horizontally arranged suspension rods 201. A suspension rope 202 is mounted above each suspension rod 201, with its ends secured to the ends of the suspension rods 201. The suspension ropes 202 are conventional steel wire ropes used in the field. The suspension ropes 202 are respectively attached to a pair of hooks 203 arranged side by side. Both hooks 203 are vertically screwed to the bottom wall of the drone body 1. During use, the support mechanism 3 is connected to the drone body 1 by attaching the suspension ropes 202 to the hooks 203.

[0032] Example 2:

[0033] 3 to 5, the supporting mechanism 3 includes a pair of bottom support rods 301 arranged horizontally side by side; side support rods 302 are vertically welded at both ends of the two bottom support rods 301, and the upper ends of the two side support rods 302 on the same bottom support rod 301 are connected by a top rod 303 perpendicular to the suspension rod 201; the two ends of the suspension rod 201 are respectively welded to the two side support rods 302; the two pairs of side support rods 302 are tubular structures, and the side support rods 302 ... An adjusting column 304 is slidably inserted into the upper port of 02; the upper end of the adjusting column 304 is welded to the top rod 303; a side surface of the adjusting column 304 is provided with multiple first through holes 305 side by side along the length direction; a first stud 306 corresponding to the first through hole 305 is vertically inserted into a side surface of the upper end portion of the side support rod 302; the first stud 306 is threadedly engaged with the side support rod 302; one end of the first stud 306 can be threadedly engaged in any one of the first through holes 305. During use, before placing the photovoltaic component on the bottom support rod 301, first adjust the distance between the bottom support rod 301 and the top rod 303 to the maximum, so that the photovoltaic component can be conveniently placed on the bottom support rod 301. Then, after multiple photovoltaic components are placed side by side on the bottom support rod 301, move the top rod 303 downward to cause the lower surface of the top rod 303 to contact the upper edge of the photovoltaic component. Then, one end of the first stud 306 is threaded into the corresponding first through hole 305, thereby locking the position of the top rod 303 and also constraining the top of the photovoltaic component.

[0034] As shown in FIG6 , the partition mechanism 4 includes a pair of mounting rods 401 arranged side by side between two bottom support rods 301 ; both mounting rods 401 are arranged parallel to the bottom support rods 301 ; the ends of the mounting rods 401 are respectively fixed to the ends of adjacent bottom support rods 301 ; a plurality of "ㄇ"-shaped partition strips 402 are arranged side by side between the two mounting rods 401 ; a storage space for the photovoltaic modules is formed between two adjacent partition strips 402 ; the ends of the partition strips 402 are respectively slidably mounted on the outer periphery of the two mounting rods 401 ; the partition strips 402 are made of conventional elastic rubber in the art. By placing the photovoltaic modules in the storage space formed between two adjacent partition strips 402 , collisions between the photovoltaic modules are avoided, thereby ensuring the quality of the photovoltaic modules.

[0035] Embodiment three:

[0036] On the basis of the second embodiment, as shown in Figures 3 to 5 and Figures 7 to 9, the first limiting mechanism 5 includes a pair of limiting rods 501 arranged side by side on the relatively outer sides of the two bottom support rods 301; both ends of the two limiting rods 501 are rotatably connected to the first transmission rod 502 and the second transmission rod 503; the upper end of the first transmission rod 502 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the corresponding side support rod 302; the lower end of the second transmission rod 503 is rotatably connected to the sliding sleeve 504; the sliding sleeve 504 is slidably sleeved on the outer periphery of the corresponding side support rod 302; one side surface of the side support rod 302 is provided with a plurality of second through holes 505 side by side from top to bottom; one side surface of the sliding sleeve 504 is vertically inserted with a second stud 506 corresponding to the second through hole 505; the second stud 506 is threadedly engaged with the sliding sleeve 504; one end of the second stud 506 can be threadedly engaged in any second through hole 505. During use, after the distance between the bottom support rod 301 and the top rod 303 is adjusted to the maximum, the sliding sleeve 504 is moved upward to force the limit rod 501 to move upward to above the upper end of the side support rod 302 to prevent the limit rod 501 from affecting the placement of the photovoltaic component on the supporting mechanism 3. Then, after the position of the top rod 303 is locked, the sliding sleeve 504 is moved downward to force the limit rod 501 to move downward and approach the photovoltaic component. When the outer wall of the limit rod 501 conflicts with the side edge of the photovoltaic component, one end of the second stud 506 is threadedly engaged with the corresponding second through hole 505, thereby achieving position locking of the limit rod 501 and further achieving position constraints on one relative side of the photovoltaic component.

[0037] As shown in Figures 7, 8 and 10, the second limiting mechanism 6 includes a pair of limiting slats 601 horizontally arranged side by side between the two limiting rods 501, and the two limiting slats 601 are arranged perpendicular to the limiting rods 501; both ends of the limiting slats 601 are integrally formed with guide flanges 602; both guide flanges 602 are slidably inserted with movable slats 603 parallel to the limiting slats 601; the ends of the two movable slats 603 that are close to each other are integrally formed with limiting flanges 604; the ends of the two movable slats 603 that are separated are inserted with screw sleeves 605; the screw sleeves 605 are rotatably connected to the movable slats 603; the two screw sleeves 605 are respectively threadedly fitted on the outer periphery of the two limiting rods 501. During use, after the position of the limit rod 501 is locked, the limit strip 601 is pushed closer to the photovoltaic component by rotating the screw sleeve 605, and the rotation of the screw sleeve 605 is stopped after one side of the limit strip 601 conflicts with the photovoltaic component, thereby achieving position constraints on the other two opposite sides of the photovoltaic component.
