[0018] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0019] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0020] The photovoltaic brackets and photovoltaic modules provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to Figures 1 to 5, through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0021] Referring to Figures 1, 2 and 3, an embodiment of this application provides a photovoltaic bracket 100, the structure of which includes: a fixed base 110, a rotating base 120 and a bracket body 130.

[0022] The mounting base 110 is connected to the photovoltaic panel 210, and the mounting base 110 is provided with a mounting slot 111. The rotating base 120 includes a body 121, a rotating shaft 122, and a connector 123. The rotating shaft 122 is rotatably connected to the mounting slot 111, the body 121 is connected to the rotating shaft 122, and the connector 123 is located on the side of the body 121 opposite to the rotating shaft 122. The bracket body 130 is provided with a plug-in groove 131 at at least one end, and the plug-in groove 131 and the connector 123 are plugged in to connect the bracket body 130 and the rotating base 120.

[0023] The photovoltaic bracket 100 is connected to the photovoltaic panel 210 via the fixed base 110 and can rotate via the rotating base 120. This allows for adjustment of the angle of the photovoltaic panel 210 to improve photoelectric conversion efficiency and facilitates support of the photovoltaic panel 210 without the need for complex disassembly and reinstallation. Furthermore, the bracket body 130 and the rotating base 120 are assembled through a plug-in connection, which not only simplifies operation and greatly shortens assembly time and reduces installation costs, but also allows for easy separation of the two components in case of wear or damage, facilitating subsequent maintenance and replacement.

[0024] As shown in Figure 2, in some embodiments, the body 121 and the rotating shaft 122 can be integrally formed from all-metal materials, or the rotating shaft 122 made of metal and the body 121 made of soft rubber can be integrally formed.

[0025] The main body 121 and the rotating shaft 122 are integrally molded from all-metal materials, giving the rotating base 120 high strength and durability. The integral molding of the rotating shaft 122 from metal and the main body 121 from soft rubber gives the main body 121 strong toughness. When the photovoltaic bracket 100 is subjected to external impact or vibration, the soft rubber material can absorb some of the energy, thereby reducing the risk of damage.

[0026] As shown in Figure 1, in some embodiments, the support body 130 is provided with a groove 132. The groove 132 extends along the length direction of the support body 130 (as indicated by A in Figure 1) and penetrates through the support body 130. Compared with the traditional solid structure, the support body 130 is provided with a groove 132. This hollow structure design can significantly reduce the weight of the support body 130, which not only reduces the cost of the photovoltaic support 100, but also improves the portability of the photovoltaic support 100.

[0027] As shown in Figure 1, in some embodiments, at least a portion of the structure of the body 121 extends into the groove 132 for concealment. This not only keeps the appearance of the photovoltaic bracket 100 consistent, thereby improving the overall aesthetics and user experience, but also enhances the stability of the connection between the bracket body 130 and the rotating seat 120 through the cooperation of the body 121 and the groove 132, thereby helping to extend the service life of the photovoltaic bracket 100.

[0028] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in some embodiments, there are at least two insertion slots 131, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the groove 132. Correspondingly, there are at least two insertion connectors 123, and the insertion slots 131 are inserted into and engaged with the corresponding insertion slots 131.

[0029] By designing multiple insertion slots 131, the connection strength between the bracket body 130 and the rotating seat 120 can be significantly improved, enabling the photovoltaic bracket 100 to withstand greater loads, thereby helping to enhance the stability of the entire photovoltaic bracket 100 and reduce failures.

[0030] As shown in Figure 1, in some embodiments, the insertion slot 131 extends along the length of the bracket body 130 and penetrates through the bracket body 130. This not only makes it easier for the insertion connector 123 to be inserted into the bracket body 130, thus making installation more convenient, but also further reduces the weight of the bracket body 130.

[0031] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in some embodiments, to further improve the stability of the connection between the rotating base 120 and the support body 130, the photovoltaic support 100 also includes a fixing member 140 for connecting the rotating base 120 and the support body 130. Optionally, the support body 130 is provided with a first fixing hole 133, which communicates with the insertion slot 131. The fixing member 140 passes through the first fixing hole 133 and contacts the insertion slot 123 to realize the connection between the rotating base 120 and the support body 130.

[0032] By introducing the fastener 140, the connection point between the rotating seat 120 and the support body 130 is increased, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection. The fastener 140 ensures that the support body 130 and the rotating seat 120 will not loosen or fall off due to external forces, thus guaranteeing the stability of the photovoltaic support 100.

[0033] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the photovoltaic support 100 further includes an anti-slip element 150. The anti-slip element 150 is disposed on the side of the support body 130 away from the rotating seat 120.

[0034] By designing anti-slip components 150 to increase the friction between the bracket body 130 and the supporting surface, the photovoltaic bracket 100 is prevented from sliding or shifting during use, ensuring that the photovoltaic bracket 100 remains in a fixed position, thereby helping to improve the safety and reliability of the photovoltaic bracket 100.

[0035] As shown in Figure 1, in some embodiments, the anti-slip component 150 is inserted into the bracket body 130. The insertion and cooperation between the anti-slip component 150 and the bracket body 130 not only simplifies the installation of the photovoltaic bracket, greatly shortens the assembly time, and reduces installation costs, but also allows for easy separation of the anti-slip component or the bracket body in case of wear or damage, facilitating subsequent maintenance and replacement.

[0036] Optionally, the insertion slot 131 extends through the bracket body 130 along its length, and the anti-slip component 150 engages with the insertion slot 131. This design makes installation more convenient.

[0037] As shown in Figures 1, 3, and 4, in some embodiments, the photovoltaic bracket 100 further includes a locking member 160. A second fixing hole 134 is provided on the side of the bracket body 130 away from the rotating seat 120. When the photovoltaic bracket 100 is in a supported state, the locking member 160 passes through the second fixing hole 134 to fix the photovoltaic bracket 100 in the target position.

[0038] The locking element 160 makes the entire photovoltaic bracket 100 more stable when supported, thereby improving the reliability of the photovoltaic bracket 100.

[0039] In some embodiments, the locking member 160 passes vertically through the support body 130, such that the setting direction of the locking member 160 is perpendicular to the setting direction of the support body 130, that is, the locking member 160 and the support body 130 are set perpendicularly. This design effectively disperses and resists forces from all directions, preventing the photovoltaic support 100 from tipping over, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the photovoltaic support 100.

[0040] Optionally, the locking element 160 is a fixing pin. As a common fastener, the fixing pin usually has a sharp head that can easily penetrate various materials, thereby achieving quick fixation. It has a simple structure and is easy to install.

[0041] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, in some embodiments, the photovoltaic bracket 100 further includes an elastic element 170. The elastic element 170 is connected between the bracket body 130 and the photovoltaic panel 210. That is, in use, one end of the elastic element 170 is connected to the bracket body 130, and the other end is connected to the photovoltaic panel 210. By designing the elastic element 170, when using the photovoltaic bracket 100, one end of the elastic element 170 is connected to the bracket body 130, and the other end is connected to the photovoltaic panel 210. This allows the user to adjust the placement angle of the photovoltaic panel 210 by adjusting the bracket body 130, and the elastic element 170 is not limited by a fixed angle adjustment, thereby achieving stepless adjustment of the photovoltaic panel 210 and making storage more convenient.

[0042] Optionally, the elastic element 170 can be made of flexible materials such as webbing, nylon tape, or cloth tape.

[0043] As shown in Figures 1 and 3, in some embodiments, the bracket body 130 has a third fixing hole 135, and the elastic element 170 is connected to the third fixing hole 135 through the first fastener 180.

[0044] Optionally, the third fixing hole 135 is provided in the middle of the bracket body 130. The third fixing hole 135 is provided in the middle of the bracket body 130. The elastic member 170 is connected to the bracket body 130 through the first fastener 180 provided in the third fixing hole 135, so that one end of the elastic member 170 is connected to the middle of the bracket body 130.

[0045] As shown in Figure 3, in some embodiments, the elastic element 170 includes a first end 171, a second end 172, and a third end 173. The first end 171 is connected to the support body 130. In use, the second end 172 is connected to the fixing base 110 and together with it is fixed to the upper part of the photovoltaic panel 210, while the third end 173 is connected to the lower part of the photovoltaic panel 210.

[0046] The elastic element 170, through its three different connecting ends, provides multi-point support and fixation for the photovoltaic panel 210, forming a stable triangular support structure. This structure is mechanically very stable, ensuring that the photovoltaic panel 210 maintains its position under various environments, thereby improving the stability of the photovoltaic panel 210.

[0047] In some embodiments, the bracket body is provided with a first connector and the elastic member is provided with a second connector. The first connector and the second connector are detachably connected. The first connector and the second connector can be Velcro, specifically nylon Velcro (i.e., nylon hook and loop fastener), thereby realizing the detachable connection between the elastic member and the bracket body.

[0048] As shown in Figures 1 and 3, in some embodiments, the elastic element 170 is provided with Velcro 174. Correspondingly, the bracket body 130 is provided with Velcro 136 that cooperates with Velcro 174. In use, the Velcro allows the bracket body 130 to be quickly fixed to the elastic element 170 for storage without the need for complicated tools or steps, greatly improving storage efficiency. It also prevents the photovoltaic bracket 100 from spreading out during transport, thus avoiding disruption to handling and transfer.

[0049] As shown in Figure 3, in some embodiments, to improve the stability of the connection between the elastic member 170 and the photovoltaic panel 210, the third end 173 of the elastic member 170 is provided with a mounting hole (not shown in the figure), and the photovoltaic panel 210 is provided with a fixing hole (not shown in the figure) suitable for communicating with the mounting hole. In this way, the elastic member 170 and the photovoltaic panel 210 can be connected as a whole by a detachable second fastener (not shown in the figure), thereby helping to improve the stability of the elastic member 170.

[0050] Referring to Figures 1 to 5, in some embodiments, this application also provides a photovoltaic module 200, including a photovoltaic panel 210 and a photovoltaic support 100 provided in any of the above embodiments; wherein, the fixing base 110 of the photovoltaic support 100 is connected to the photovoltaic panel 210. Thus, the photovoltaic module 200 has all the beneficial effects of any of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0051] In some embodiments, there are multiple photovoltaic panels 210, which can be folded and connected together. The folded photovoltaic panels 210 occupy little space and are easy to carry and store.

[0052] As shown in Figure 3, in some embodiments, there are at least two photovoltaic brackets 100, and the at least two photovoltaic brackets 100 are arranged at intervals.

[0053] In practical applications, by setting up multiple photovoltaic supports 100, not only can more uniform support force be provided, reducing the deformation or damage of photovoltaic panels 210 caused by excessive force at a single point, but also external forces can be resisted more effectively, maintaining the stability of photovoltaic modules 200.
