Abstract
A mounting arrangement for movable frames designed to support photovoltaic panels is particularly provided for the attachment between two contiguous frames through a hinged attachment system, such that it allows the frames to be attached with a variable angle between them and in a minimum amount of space. The hinged attachment system includes a first fixing segment, a second fixing segment, and limiting means.
Claims11
A movable mounting arrangement for photovoltaic installations, provided for an attachment between a first frame and a second frame through a hinged attachment system, wherein each of the first frame and the second frame is configured to support at least one photovoltaic panel, and the hinged attachment system comprises:
- a first fixing segment linked to the first frame;
- a second fixing segment linked to the second frame contiguous to the first frame, wherein the first fixing segment and the second fixing segment are associated with one another through a shaft, and an end of the shaft is coupled to a mobility element;
- and
- limiting means provided to limit an angle of deployment defined by the first frame and the second frame;
- wherein the shaft is made up of a single oblong piece having a plurality of segments of different diameters, such that following an order from an outer part to an inner part, there are provided a first segment configured for coupling of the mobility element, a second segment of a larger diameter than the first segment configured to act as a stop for the hinged attachment system and the mobility element, a third segment of a different diameter than the first segment, and a fourth segment provided with a threaded area configured for coupling of a threaded stop element, wherein the third segment is provided for coupling to the first fixing segment and the second fixing segment of the hinged attachment system.
