Detailed Description
In the following description, the present invention is described with reference to various embodiments. One skilled in the relevant art will recognize, however, that the embodiments may be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other alternative and/or additional methods, materials, or components. In other instances, well-known structures, materials, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of the invention. Similarly, for purposes of explanation, specific numbers, materials and configurations are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the invention. However, the invention is not limited to these specific details. Furthermore, it should be understood that the embodiments shown in the drawings are illustrative representations and are not necessarily drawn to scale.
Reference throughout this specification to "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearances of the phrase "in one embodiment" in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment.
It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention describe the process steps in a specific order, however, this is merely to illustrate the specific embodiment and not to limit the order of the steps. In contrast, in various embodiments of the present invention, the order of the steps may be adjusted according to process adjustments.
In this application, the term "negative wind pressure" means that wind acts under the assembly, creating an upward lifting force. In an embodiment of the present invention, the photovoltaic panel assembly extends in the east-west direction and faces south, and therefore, in the present application, the term "positive wind pressure" refers to the southward wind, and the term "negative wind pressure" refers to the northbound wind.
Fig. 1 shows a schematic structural diagram of a large-span photovoltaic bracket in the prior art. As shown in fig. 1, the existing large-span photovoltaic bracket mainly comprises a rigid frame 001, a mounting cable 002, a shape-adjusting cable 003 and an inter-cable support truss 004. The photovoltaic panel assembly is mounted on the mounting cable 002. Under the action of the shape-adjusting cable 003, the large-span photovoltaic bracket can well bear vertical gravity load and snow load of the photovoltaic panel assembly, but the shape-adjusting cable 003 can only bear tension, and the capacity of bearing negative wind pressure can only depend on the pretension of the mounting cable 002, but when the mounting cable exerts larger prestress, excessive upward deflection is generated, and the tension of the cable is further increased. In order to solve the problem, the resistance of the photovoltaic bracket to wind pressure of wind direction is enhanced so as to avoid remarkable vibration of a cable structure system caused by wind load and wind pressure and further avoid the damage of structures such as the bracket, a photovoltaic panel assembly and the like under the action of external force. In particular, the shape-adjusting cable is used for providing a reverse resultant force in a second direction opposite to the first direction when receiving a first force in the first direction so as to counteract the first force; and the stabilizing cable is used for providing a resultant force in the opposite direction of the first direction when receiving a second force in the second direction so as to counteract the second force. In an embodiment of the invention, the first direction refers to a forward wind direction, which may be understood as a downward direction perpendicular to the photovoltaic panel assembly, and the second direction refers to a reverse wind direction, which may be understood as an upward direction perpendicular to the photovoltaic panel assembly.
The embodiments of the present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

first, in step 801, a post is installed. Installing a door-shaped frame and side span struts according to a preset span;
next, at step 802, the mounting cable is installed. According to the calculation method, the installation positions of the upper installation cable and the lower installation cable are determined and installed, and then initial pulling force with a specified size is applied to enable the upper installation cable and the lower installation cable to be in a horizontal state, wherein the initial pulling force is usually 20-50KN;

next, at step 804, a photovoltaic panel assembly is installed. The photovoltaic panel assembly is mounted on the mounting cable, specifically, the upper mounting cable and the lower mounting cable, and certain downwarping is generated at the moment;
next, at step 805, the tuning cable is adjusted. Adjusting the tension of the shape adjusting cable until the upper deflection of the photovoltaic panel assembly reaches a preset deflection through the telescopic adjusting function of the anchors at the two ends of the shape adjusting cable, so that the photovoltaic panel assembly is bent upwards in a certain inverted arch, wherein the preset deflection takes a value range of 1/300 to 1/150; and
finally, in step 806, a stabilizing cable is installed. Installing a stable rope, and adjusting the tension of the stable rope through the telescopic adjusting function of the anchors at the two ends of the stable rope to enable the stable rope to generate a certain downward tension until the photovoltaic panel assembly is in a horizontal state.
The photovoltaic power generation support system is installed, and the installation cable, the shape adjusting cable and the stabilizing cable all have pretension. The cable tension is horizontal when no wind load acts, the cable tension is increased to resist the downward external force transmitted by the support truss when positive wind load acts, and the cable tension is increased to resist the upward external force transmitted by the support truss when negative wind load acts.
The shape-adjusting rope and the stabilizing rope can be shared by a section of the horizontal inhaul cable in the midspan, the shape-adjusting rope is in a higher stress state when the inhaul cable has positive wind pressure, and the stabilizing rope is in an initial tension state. When the back wind is acted, the stable cable is in a higher stress state, and the shape-adjusting cable is in a loose state except the common section of the middle section. The middle section sharing can reduce the inhaul cable system, namely the shape adjusting cable and the stabilizing cable, occupy the space under the plate, so that more operation space can be reserved under the plate for planting, breeding and other operations.
