1. A tracking type flexible photovoltaic bracket, comprising:
photovoltaic assemblies (2);
pillars (6), wherein the pillars (6) are respectively disposed with double-rope grooved wheels (16);
a driving member, configured to drive one of the double-rope grooved wheels (16) arranged on an end of the driving member to rotate;
direction-changing mechanisms, wherein each direction-changing mechanism is arranged to correspond to a corresponding one pillar of the pillars (6), each of the direction-changing mechanisms comprises a worm gear assembly and a curved plate assembly, the corresponding one pillar of the pillars (6) is rotatably connected with the worm gear assembly and the curved plate assembly, and a bottom of the curved plate assembly is disposed with a gear rack (15) in meshing transmission with the worm gear assembly; and
two pulling ropes (5), wherein the two pulling ropes (5) are wound on the double-rope grooved wheels (16), winding directions of the two pulling ropes (5) are opposite, and the double-rope grooved wheels (16) are in transmission connection with the two pulling ropes (5) through a traction rope assembly;
wherein two of the curved plate assemblies are adjacent and have load-bearing ropes (3) disposed therebetween, the photovoltaic assemblies (2) are arranged on the load-bearing ropes (3), and the double-rope grooved wheel (16) disposed on the corresponding one pillar of the pillars (6) is in transmission connection with the worm gear assembly.
