Abstract

A solar bracket with a damping mechanism is provided and includes: a bracket structure including a fixed component and a rotating component; a solar panel installed on the rotating component; and a damping mechanism including a rotating assembly and a damping component. The rotating assembly includes a first rotating part and a second rotating part, the first rotating part is fixedly installed on the rotating component, the second rotating part is connected to the damping component, the first rotating part is transmitted and connected to the second rotating part, and a rotation radius of the first rotating part is greater than that of the second rotating part, when the rotating component drives the first rotating part to rotate, the first rotating part drives the second rotating part to rotate, and the second rotating part drives the damping component to move to limit a rotation speed of the rotating component.
