1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to supporting apparatuses, and particularly, to a supporting apparatus for photovoltaic modules.
2. Description of Related Art
Supporting apparatuses for photovoltaic modules are usually made by welding a plurality of metal poles together with a non-flexible structure, which causes inconvenience in transportation of the supporting apparatuses.
Many aspects of the present embodiments can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the present embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, all the views are schematic, and like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The disclosure, including the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements, is illustrated by way of examples and not by way of limitation. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean at least one.
Referring to
The first pole 10 includes a first end 11 and a second end 12. The connecting pole 30 includes a first end 31 and a second end 32. The first end 31 is pivotably connected to the second end 12. The second end 32 is pivotably connected to a first end of the second pole 20.
The first pole 10 defines a pivot hole 111 near the first end 11. A mounting hole 33 is defined in a middle of the connecting pole 30.
The reinforcing pole 40 includes a first end 41 and a second end 42. The reinforcing pole 40 defines a first hole 411 near the first end 41 and a second hole 421 near the second end 42.
In the embodiment, the fastener 60 includes a bolt 61 and a nut 62 mating with the bolt 61.
Referring to
In use, the first end 11 and a second end of the second pole 20 are fixed to a supporting flat (such as ground). Therefore the connecting pole 30 can be used to support the photovoltaic modules. Before the second pole 20 is fixed to the flat, the angle between the second pole 20 and the connecting pole 30 is adjustable, to adjust the angle of the connecting pole 30.
Referring to
It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the embodiments have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the embodiments, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in the matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
