Embodiment 1

[0019] A solar sailing car, comprising a car body (1), a sail (8) installed on the car body (1), a steering system (7), a sail steering system (12), a solar panel (10), a sensor (9 ) and control system (12). It is characterized in that: the sail (8) is rotatably installed on the vehicle body (1); the steering system (7) includes a steering gear (6), a parallelogram bogie (22), and four wheels (28). The lower part of the car body (1); the sail rotation system (12) includes a stay rope (11), a motor (3) and a coupling (43), and is connected with the sail (8); the solar panel (10) Cover the surface of the sail (8) and supply power to the motor (3), steering gear (6) and control system (2); the sensor (9) is installed on the top of the sail (8) to detect wind direction and wind speed; the control system (2) is connected with a steering gear controller (5), a motor driver (4), and a sensor (9).

Embodiment 2

[0021] The present embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, and the special features are as follows:

[0022] The structure of the vehicle body (1) is formed by connecting aluminum profiles APS20×20 through screws, providing a platform for the solar sailing vehicle.

[0023] The steering system (7) includes a steering gear (6), a parallelogram bogie (22), and four wheels (28). The model of the steering gear (6) is: UD-100F. The parallelogram bogie (22) is composed of a fixed shaft (27), a movable shaft (23), a connecting rod (24), two fixing grooves (25), and two fixing plates (21). Movable shaft (23), fixed shaft (27) are fixedly installed on the fixed plate (21), and fixed plate (21) is connected with wheel (28). The fixed shaft (27) and the movable shaft (23) are connected by a connecting rod (24), and a small round hole (26) is opened on the connecting rod (24) for connecting with the steering gear (6). Two fixing slots (25) are respectively connected with the ...

Embodiment 3

[0027] During the movement of the solar sailing car, the sensor (9) detects the wind direction and wind speed, and the data is fed back to the control system (2), and after being converted by the single-chip microcomputer (44), it sends instructions to the steering gear controller (5) and the motor driver (4) . The output shaft of the motor (3) transmits torque through the coupling (43), so that the sail (8) rotates to obtain a suitable sail angle to obtain the best driving force. The steering gear (6) adjusts the steering angle of the wheels (28) according to the predetermined path planning of the control system (2), so that the sail car travels according to the path. The solar panel (10) provides power to the motor (3), steering gear (6) and control system (2).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a solar sail car, in particular to a wind-driven sail car capable of autonomous movement. Background technique [0002] As a clean and green energy, wind energy has been applied in many fields. On the ocean, a sailboat is a ship powered by wind energy. In the power industry, wind energy can be used to generate wind power. Wind energy can also be used for irrigation and more. In addition, wind power can also be used as a power drive. Patent 201120361505.2 and patent 201020189150.9 are new sports cars using a sail as power. Patent 201010536879.3 is to use sail as the power of the car, energy saving and environmental protection, high speed, used for sports enthusiasts. The sail car of the patent 201230537856.4 uses canvas to drive the tricycle to move forward. [0003] The comparison shows that these sail cars have good applications in the field of sports and fitness, but their stability is not enough. In the case of high...
