Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for installing a solar cell panel on the ground.

  In a solar power generation system in which a solar cell panel is installed on the ground, it is required to be durable against external forces such as wind power. For this reason, as a stand of a solar cell panel, it is set as the comparatively robust structure which built the support frame which supports a solar cell panel on the foundation (for example, patent document 1). On the other hand, in view of simplifying the foundation work, there has also been proposed a pedestal of a type in which at least the foundation portion is composed of a PCa member and is laid on the ground (Patent Document 2).

JP 2012-87613 A Utility Model Registration No. 3172512

  A stand of the type laid on the ground is advantageous in terms of simplifying the foundation work. On the other hand, the weight of the PCa member increases, so the weight of the foundation part may range from several hundred kg to 1 ton. Is required. In a large-scale photovoltaic power generation system called mega solar etc., the number of racks becomes enormous, which increases the costs associated with the transportation and installation of materials. Further, when the site is inclined or uneven, the leveling is necessary and the cost is further increased.

  An object of the present invention is to reduce the cost by installing a solar cell panel on the ground, improving the weight reduction of the basic portion and the compatibility with a ground plane.

According to the present invention, it is a basic unit constituting a base of a support frame that supports a solar cell panel, and extends in parallel with each other, and rod-shaped first and second PCa members on which the support frame is mounted; , At least one rod-like connecting member for connecting the first and second PCa members, and a weight member provided on the connecting member, wherein the first and second PCa members are arranged in a horizontal direction. The connecting member is inserted and fixed in the mounting hole, and the first and second PCa members and the weight member are PCa members having the same shape. A basic unit is provided.

  According to the present invention, when installing a solar cell panel on the ground, it is possible to reduce the cost by reducing the weight of the foundation and improving the compatibility with the ground plane.

The perspective view of the mount frame which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention. The disassembled perspective view of the mount frame of FIG. (A) is sectional drawing which follows the line II of FIG. 2, (B) is explanatory drawing of another example. (A) And (B) is a figure which shows the attachment aspect of a weight member. (A) And (B) is a figure which shows the attachment aspect of another weight member. (A) And (B) is a figure which shows the attachment aspect of a fixing member.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a gantry A according to an embodiment of the present invention, and it is assumed that a solar cell panel P is supported. The solar cell panel P has a rectangular shape, and is supported diagonally by the gantry A with the front side F of the four sides being the lower side and the rear side B being the upper side. FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the gantry A. FIG. In each figure, arrows X and Y indicate horizontal directions orthogonal to each other, and arrow Z indicates a vertical direction. The solar cell panel P is supported with the front side F and the rear side B along the X direction.

  The gantry A includes a support frame 10 and a base unit 20. In the example of FIGS. 1 and 2, the base of one support frame 20 is configured by two base units 20, but the configuration of the gantry A is not limited to this.

  The support frame 10 is configured by combining, for example, rod-shaped steel materials such as steel pipes, steel bars, and shaped steels such as angle irons. In addition to the steel material, the support frame 10 can be configured by combining members such as FRP and aluminum. In the case of this embodiment, the support frame 10 includes a plurality of support members 11, 12, a plurality of skew members 13 that obliquely extend in a rafter shape, a girder member 14, and a plurality of reinforcing members 15. . The strut member 11 constitutes a strut on the front side F side, and the strut member 12 constitutes a strut on the rear side B side. The support member 11 is shorter in height (length) than the support member 12.

  Each skew member 13 extends obliquely in the Y direction, and one end in the Y direction is connected to the support member 11 and the other end is connected to the support member 12, and is laid on the support members 11 and 12. The plurality of skew members 13 are supported in parallel with each other at equal intervals in the X direction. The solar cell panel P is mounted on the plurality of skew members 13 and is fixed to the skew members 13 by a hardware not shown.

  The girder member 14 is disposed so as to cross the plurality of skew members 13 in the X direction, and is fixed to each skew member 13. In the present embodiment, one girder member 14 is provided, but a plurality of girder members 14 may be provided parallel to each other and separated in the Y direction. The reinforcing member 15 is provided between the support member 12 and the skew member 13 and reinforces the support force of the skew member 13.

  The support frame 10 can have various configurations depending on the strength and size of the solar cell panel P. For example, when the strength of the solar battery panel P is relatively high, the beam member 14 can be omitted.

  In the present embodiment, the foundation of the support frame 20 is constituted by the two foundation units 20. However, a structure that supports one support frame 20 with respect to one foundation unit 20 (for example, the girder member 14 is provided with the beam member 14). It is also possible to adopt a configuration that does not straddle a plurality of basic units 20. In this case, it is possible to install the pedestal while avoiding the influence as much as possible even in the soft ground that may cause uneven settlement.

  On the contrary, the structure which integrated the support frame 10 over the wide range by the girder member 14 grade | etc., Of course is also employable. In this case, if the width of the support frame is made narrower than the width of the transport vehicle, it is possible to transport and install the integrated support frame in an integrated manner, and work on-site. Can be reduced.

  Next, the basic unit 20 will be described. The foundation unit 20 is a unit that constitutes the foundation of the support frame 10, and includes PCa members 21 </ b> A and 21 </ b> B and a connecting member 22 that connects them, and this configuration is a basic unit.

  The PCa members 21A and 21B are extended in the X direction in parallel with each other to form a bar shape. In the case of this embodiment, the PCa members 21A and 21B are plate bar-like blocks, and their cross-sectional shapes are square. However, it may be a bar-like block having another shape, such as a trapezoidal cross section.

  In the case of the present embodiment, the PCa members 21A and 21B are PCa members having the same configuration, but may have different configurations. However, the cost can be reduced by using one kind of PCa member as in this embodiment.

  The PCa members 21 </ b> A and 21 </ b> B include a mounting hole 211 that opens on the side surface and a mounting hole 212 that opens on the top surface. The attachment hole 212 is a hole for attaching the column members 11 and 12 directly or via a hardware (not shown) and standing on the PCa members 21A and 21B. The mounting hole 212 may be a through-hole penetrating the PCa members 21A and 21B in the vertical direction, or may be a bottomed hole. Examples of the fixing structure between the mounting hole 212 and the support members 11 and 12 include a screw structure, a fitting structure, and an adhesive structure.

  A rod-like connecting member 22 that connects the PCa members 21A and 21B is inserted and fixed in the mounting hole 211. In the case of this embodiment, the connecting member 22 is a steel pipe, but it may be a steel bar, a section steel such as an angle steel, or a rod-like member made of FRP, aluminum alloy or the like in addition to the steel material. Also good.

  In the case of the present embodiment, the attachment hole 211 is a through-hole penetrating the PCa members 21A and 21B in the horizontal direction, but may be a bottomed hole. However, the use of the through hole not only has the advantage that the insertion surface of the connecting member 22 is not questioned, but also makes the PCa member 21A variable by changing the fixing position of the connecting member 22 and the PCa members 21A, 21B. And 21B can be adjusted in the Y direction.

  In the case of this embodiment, the PCa members 21A and 21B are each provided with a pair of attachment holes 211 spaced apart in the X direction, and the pair of connecting members 22 are also provided parallel to each other separated in the X direction. By providing the pair of connecting members 22, the base unit 20 is configured as a square frame as a whole, and sufficient supporting force as a base can be secured. On the other hand, the PCa members 21A and 21B can be rotated by a minute amount in the directions indicated by the arrows d1 and d2 in FIG. 2 to allow the foundation unit 20 to be twisted. For this reason, the foundation unit 20 can be installed following the ground without the need for leveling on lightly inclined or rough terrain. In this case, the solar cell panel P can be installed at a target angle by adjusting the lengths of the individual support members 11 and 12.

  In the case of the present embodiment, the number of connecting members 22 is two, but is not limited to this, and at least one connecting member 22 is sufficient. However, two or more are preferable in terms of ensuring the positional accuracy of the mounting holes 212 (the separation distance in the Y direction and the degree of parallelism between the PCa members 21A and 21B). On the other hand, if the number is three or more, the correspondence to an inclined or uneven terrain due to the twist of the foundation unit 20 may be lowered. Therefore, it is preferable to provide two connecting members 22 as in this embodiment.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the connecting members 22 are arranged in parallel to each other, but a configuration that is not parallel as shown in FIG. However, in this case, since the mounting holes 213 'of the PCa member 21A and the mounting holes 213 "of the PCa member 21B are different, it is necessary to create the PCa member 21A and the PCa member 21B separately.

  Examples of the fixing structure between the attachment hole 211 and the connecting member 22 include a screw structure, a fitting structure, and an adhesive structure. In this embodiment, it is set as the structure using especially a volt | bolt and a nut among screw structures. FIG. 3A is an explanatory view thereof, and is a cross-sectional view taken along line II in FIG. In the figure, the reinforcement arrangement of the PCa members 21A and 21B is not shown.

  In the case of this embodiment, the attachment hole 211 is formed larger than the connection member 22, and the connection member 22 is inserted into the attachment hole 211 with play. In the PCa members 21A and 21B, a hole formed in a direction intersecting with the attachment hole 211 is formed in a vertical hole shape opened on the upper surface, and a nut 213 is charged therein. Then, the bolt 214 is fastened to the nut 213 and the connecting member 22 is pressed in the radial direction at the tip thereof, thereby pressing and fixing the peripheral wall of the mounting hole 211.

  By adopting such a fixing structure, disassembly and assembly are easy, and the fixing position between the connecting member 22 and the PCa members 21A and 21B is variable, and the separation distance in the Y direction between the PCa members 21A and 21B can be increased. It can be adjustable.

  The gantry A having such a configuration is constructed by first installing the base unit 20 on the ground (foundation construction process) and installing the support frame 10 on the foundation unit 20 (grounding process). Thereafter, the solar battery panel P is mounted on and supported by the support frame 10.

  In the present embodiment, since the base unit 20 is composed of the rod-like PCa members 21A and 21B and the rod-like connecting member 22, the PCa members 21A and 21B can be reduced in size and weight. For example, when the length of the PCa members 21A and 21B in the longitudinal direction (X direction) is about 1200 mm, the length in the short side direction (Y direction) is about 200 mm, and the thickness (length in the Z direction) is about 160 mm Each unit can be configured with a weight of about 90 kg, and can be significantly reduced in weight as a base PCa for a solar cell panel mount. Therefore, in the foundation construction process, it is possible to perform transportation work or the like with a hoe or a plurality of workers, and the use of a large lifting machine is not essential.

  Further, the ground contact surface of the base unit 20 is rod-shaped PCa members 21A and 21B, and since the ground contact area is relatively small, even if there is a slight inclination on the site and there is a difference in height between them, the base unit is not inclined. 20 can be grounded. In addition, the foundation unit 20 can be twisted to cope with sloping terrain and rough terrain, and grading is not essential depending on the degree of sloping. In this case, the solar cell panel P can be installed at a target angle by adjusting the lengths of the individual support members 11 and 12.

  By reducing the size of the PCa members 21A and 21B and reducing the ground contact area, even if leveling is required, if leveling is only required at the ground contact points of the PCa members 21A and 21B, the leveling area Can be reduced.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, when the solar cell panel P is installed on the ground, the weight of the foundation portion and the compatibility with the grounding surface can be improved, and the cost can be reduced.

  Further, by setting the basic unit 20 as one unit, it is possible to deal with various scale solar cell systems depending on the quantity. Further, in the present embodiment, the separation distance between the PCa members 21A and 21B can be adjusted, so that it is possible to cope with the case where the size of each solar cell panel is different.

Second Embodiment
When the foundation unit 20 is lightweight, a weight member can be provided on the connecting member 22 when wind resistance or the like is insufficient. 4 (A) and 4 (B) are views showing how the weight member 23 is attached, FIG. 4 (A) is a plan view of the base unit 20, and FIG. 4 (B) is a side view of the gantry A. The weight member 23 is, for example, a sandbag bag filled with residual soil or crushed stone, or a water tank, and is placed on the connecting member 22. The weight member 23 is preferably fixed to the connecting member 22 by an appropriate method. Since the space on the weight member 23 is an empty space, this space can be effectively utilized as a space for arranging the weight member 23.

  Instead of the weight member 23, the same PCa member as the PCa members 21A and 21B may be used as the weight member. 5 (A) and 5 (B) are views showing an attachment mode when the PCa member 21C is used as the weight member, FIG. 5 (A) is a plan view of the base unit 20, and FIG. FIG. The PCa member 21 </ b> C is the same as the PCa members 21 </ b> A and 21 </ b> B, and is arranged with the connecting member 22 inserted through the attachment hole 211. In the example of the figure, three PCa members 21C are installed in total, one on the PCa member 21A side and two on the PCa member 21B side. Thus, by making the PCa members 21A and 21B the same, it can be used as a weight member.

<Third Embodiment>
When the foundation unit 20 is lightweight and the wind resistance and the like are insufficient, in addition to providing the weight member, the fixing force of the PCa members 21A and 21B to the ground contact ground can be improved by the pile. . 6 (A) and 6 (B) are views showing an attachment mode of the fixing member 24 serving as a pile, FIG. 6 (A) is a plan view of the foundation unit 20, and FIG. 6 (B) is a side view of the gantry A. is there.

  The fixing member 24 is a rod-like member, and may be, for example, a rod-like member made of FRP, aluminum alloy, or the like, in addition to a steel material such as a steel pipe, steel rod, or angle steel. The fixing member 24 and the connecting member 22 may be the same member, thereby reducing the types of components.

  Attachment holes 216 for fixing the fixing member 24 are formed in the PCa members 21A and 21B. In the case of this embodiment, the attachment hole 216 is a through hole that penetrates the PCa members 21A and 21B. In the case of the present embodiment, the mounting hole 216 is formed obliquely with respect to the vertical direction (Z direction) in order to drive the fixing member 24 obliquely into the ground, but even if the fixing member 24 is driven in the vertical direction, In this case, the mounting hole 216 is formed in the vertical direction (Z direction).

  For example, after the PCa members 21 </ b> A and 21 </ b> B are placed on the ground, the fixing member 24 is inserted into the attachment hole 216 from the upper side thereof and driven into the ground contact. By fixing the fixing member 24 obliquely into the ground, the PCa members 21A and 21B can be more firmly fixed to the ground. After the driving, a metal fitting that prevents the fixing member 24 from being detached may be attached to the upper end portion of the fixing member 24 (the portion protruding from the PCa members 21A and 21B).

  In the present embodiment, the fixing member 24 is provided on both the PCa members 21A and 21B, but either one may be provided. In this case, it goes without saying that the mounting hole 216 is not necessary for the PCa member not provided with the fixing member 24.
