The number of the projections 3211 may also be 4 or 5.

The connecting seat 30 is rotatably arranged on the base 10, so that the connecting seat 30 is far away from the base 10 by a distance, and the protrusion 3211 is away from the limiting groove 113, at this time, the connecting seat 30 can be rotated, after the solar panel 50 is adjusted to a proper direction, the protrusion 3211 of the connecting seat 30 is enabled to be in splicing fit with the limiting groove 113 again, and the rotating direction of the connecting seat 30 can be fixed. The coupling holder 30 can rotate about its own axis with respect to the base 10, which is called the rotation of the coupling holder 30. The connecting base 30 can rotate around its axis relative to the base 10, and relative to the rotation in other directions, it is easier to implement, thereby facilitating the simplification of the structure of the solar panel adjusting device and saving the cost.

The first end 31 of the connecting seat 30 is provided with a first groove 313, the end surface from the first groove 313 to the first end 31 extends towards the second end 32, and the length of the first groove 313 can be set according to actual needs. The rotation of the coupling holder 30 changes the orientation of the first recess 313. The end surface shape of the first groove 313 may be a U shape.

One end of the second main body 12 is connected to the first main body 11, and the other end of the second main body 12 extends toward the first end 31 to a position close to the first groove 313.

The connecting body portion 42 and the intermediate portion 43 may each be of cylindrical rod-like configuration with a transition between the intermediate portion 43 and the connecting body portion 42, the connecting body portion 42 having a diameter greater than the diameter of the intermediate portion 43. The connecting body portion 42 and the intermediate portion 43 may also be rod-shaped structures of other shapes, for example, prismatic rod-shaped structures. The length of the connecting body portion 42 is greater than the length of the intermediate portion 43. The length of the connecting body 42 may be set according to the distance between the solar panel 50 and the first end 31.

The rotating body 41 is disposed in the first mounting cavity 33, the inner wall of the connecting seat 30 includes a second abutting surface 312, the end surface of the second main body 12 facing the first end 31 is a first abutting surface 121, and the rotating body 41 is sandwiched between the first abutting surface 121 and the second abutting surface 312.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, when the base 10, the connecting seat 30 and the rotating member 40 are assembled, the rotating member 40 is first inserted into the first mounting cavity 33 from the second end 32, the connecting body 42 extends out of the connecting seat 30 from the first end 31, and the rotating body 41 is limited in the first mounting cavity 33 by the second pressing surface 312. And the size of the first groove 313 is smaller than that of the rotating body 41, the rotating body 41 cannot protrude from the first groove 313, and the rotating body 41 is always restrained in the first installation cavity 33 throughout the angle adjustment of the solar panel 50. Specifically, the rotating body portion 41 is always restrained in the space between the first abutting surface 121 and the second abutting surface 312.

The outer surface of the rotor portion 41 includes a rotation surface 411, and the rotation surface 411 is an arc surface. The rotational plane 411 means: a surface contacting with the inner wall of the coupling holder 30 during the rotation of the rotating body 41. The first abutting surface 121 and the second abutting surface 312 not only function to clamp or release the rotating body portion 41, but also need to be rotatably engaged with the rotating body portion 41. The rotary body 41 may have a spherical structure. The first abutting surface 121 and the second abutting surface 312 are also circular arc surfaces.

There is a distance between the second abutting surface 312 and the first end 31, so that there is a distance between the rotating body 41 and the first end 31, the size of the middle portion 43 is smaller than that of the rotating body 41, there is a gap between the outer surface of the middle portion 43 and the inner wall of the connecting seat 30, so that the middle portion 43 can be movably disposed in the first mounting cavity 33, and thus the rotating member 40 can also swing by a certain angle without passing through the first groove 313, thereby increasing the angle adjustment mode of the solar panel 50.

When the first abutting surface 121 and the second abutting surface 312 clamp the rotating body portion 41, the position of the rotating body portion 41 is fixed.

When the first abutting surface 121 and the second abutting surface 312 release the rotor portion 41, the rotor 40 can rotate about its own axis, which is referred to as rotation of the rotor 40. The rotation member 40 can rotate about its own axis, so that the angular adjustment range of the solar panel 50 can be increased. The rotation member 40 is also rotatable in the first groove 313, which is referred to as T-direction rotation of the rotation member 40. The T-direction rotation of the rotation member 40 can change the direction of the first groove 313. Due to the intermediate portion 43, the rotary member 40 can also swing a certain angle in the first mounting chamber 33.

In order to prevent slipping and improve the clamping effect of the first abutting surface 121 and the second abutting surface 312, the rotating surface 411 includes a non-slip surface 4111, and the non-slip surface 4111 may be a non-slip protrusion. All of the rotating surfaces 411 may be anti-slip surfaces 4111, or some of the rotating surfaces 411 may be anti-slip surfaces 4111. The anti-slip protrusions may be ring-shaped protrusions, and the number of the anti-slip protrusions may be several, and the anti-slip protrusions are sequentially arranged from one end of the rotating body portion 41 to the other end of the rotating body portion 41 at intervals.

The approaching and separating of the first abutting surface 121 and the second abutting surface 312 needs to be realized by the locking member 20, as shown in fig. 4, the solar panel adjusting apparatus further includes a locking member 20, the locking member 20 has a mounting cavity and two open ends, the locking member 20 includes a connecting portion 21 and a first pressing portion 22, and the inner surface of the connecting portion 21 is provided with an internal thread. The outer peripheral surface of the first body portion 11 is provided with external threads. The locking member 20 is fitted around the first body 11, and the connecting portion 21 is screwed to the first body 11. The first pressing portion 22 is located at one end of the locker 20 facing the coupling holder 30, and the first pressing portion 22 is protruded toward the center line of the locker 20. The second end 32 of the connecting socket 30 is provided with a second pressing portion 321, the second pressing portion 321 protrudes out of the outer surface of the connecting socket 30, and the second pressing portion 321 is disposed between the first pressing portion 22 and the connecting surface 111.

One end of the first body 11 is connected to the second body 12, the other end of the first body 11 is the mounting end 114, the locking member 20 is rotated forward, and the locking member 20 moves toward the mounting end 114 of the first body 11 until the first pressing portion 22 presses the second pressing portion 321 against the connecting surface 111. At this time, the distance between the first abutting surface 121 and the second abutting surface 312 is the shortest, the first abutting surface 121 and the second abutting surface 312 clamp the rotating body 41, and at this time, the connecting seat 30 cannot rotate relative to the base 10. When the locking member 20 is rotated reversely, the locking member 20 moves away from the mounting end 114 of the first body 11, and the first abutting surface 121 and the second abutting surface 312 release the rotating body 41, at this time, the connecting seat 30 can rotate relative to the base 10. The rotation of the coupling socket 30 and the rotation of the rotation member 40 need to be adjusted by an operator.

In order to reduce the friction force, the first abutting surface 121 is provided with a groove which reduces the contact area of the first abutting surface 121 and the rotating body portion 41, so that the rotating body portion 41 rotates more smoothly.

The solar panel adjusting device of the embodiment has the advantages that: the rotating part 40 can rotate in the first groove 313, and since the connecting seat 30 is rotatably arranged on the base 10, the connecting seat 30 rotates to change the direction of the first groove 313, so that the rotating part 40 can drive the solar panel to rotate in more planes.

One end of the connecting body 42 is connected to the intermediate portion 43, and the other end of the connecting body 42 is connected to the solar panel 50. The outer surface of the connecting body 42 may be externally threaded. The solar panel 50 has a mounting hole formed in a surface thereof facing the connecting body 42, and an internal thread formed in an inner wall of the mounting hole. The connecting body 42 is connected with the solar panel 50 by screw threads, the screw cap 70 is sleeved on the external thread section of the connecting body 42, and the screw cap 70 plays the role of a nut to prevent the connecting body 42 and the solar panel 50 from being connected and loosened. The solar panel 50 is rotatably connected to the connecting body 42 by a threaded connection so that the orientation of the solar panel 50 can also be adjusted. Solar panel 50 may be rotatably connected to connector body 42 using other connection means.

In another embodiment, the first groove 313 may not be disposed at the first end 31, but disposed at a position between the first end 31 and the second end 32, and at this time, the rotation of the connecting socket 30 can still change the direction of the first groove 313, thereby enabling the rotation member 40 to rotate in different planes. However, in this structure, the installation of the rotation member 40 is difficult, and the rotation member 40 cannot swing in the first installation cavity 33. It can be seen that the provision of the first groove 313 at the first end 31 not only facilitates the installation of the rotating member 40, but also provides a condition for the swinging of the rotating member 40, and also enables the rotating member 40 to rotate in a greater range.

In another embodiment, the coupling holder 30 may not rotate about its axis, but rotate in other directions as long as the rotation of the coupling holder 30 can change the orientation of the first groove 313.

In another embodiment, the end surface of the second end 32 may be a plane, and the connecting surface 111 may also be a plane, in which case the connecting seat 30 is still rotatably disposed on the base 10, and the connecting seat 30 can be fixed on the base 10 by locking the locking member 20.

In another embodiment, the locking member 20 can be movably disposed on the base 10 by other means, for example, the locking member 20 is disposed on the base 10 by a slider mechanism, but a positioning mechanism is additionally provided to position the locking member 20 relative to the base 10. Therefore, the locking member 20 is screwed on the base 10, so that the structure is simple and the cost is saved.

In another embodiment, the first and

second body portions

11 and 12 may also be prism-shaped structures, and the cross-sectional area of the first body portion 11 is larger than that of the second body portion 12. The cross-sectional area herein refers to an area taken by a cross-section perpendicular to the axis of the base 10.
