Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of energy-saving buildings, and in particular to a solar-based building. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, a solar roof is a rooftop where a solar power generation device is installed on the roof of a building. It uses solar photovoltaic technology to generate electricity in urban and rural buildings in order to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction goals.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent CN216699909U discloses a solar-powered building, including a building body and a water collection shell fixedly installed on the top of the building body. Supports are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the water collection shell, and a connecting rod is rotatably installed between the two supports. A mounting bracket is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting rod, and a solar panel is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting bracket. A first gear is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting rod extending outside the support. This allows for adjustment of the orientation of the solar panel, enabling it to better face the sun. When the solar panel is rotated downwards, it can effectively reduce damage to the solar panel from hail and other external objects.

[0004] However, when implementing this device, the following drawbacks were found: Although the angle of the solar panels is adjustable, the solar panels are exposed on the roof, and the windward area of ​​the solar panels is large. In severe weather such as strong winds, the solar panels will cause significant damage to the roof as they cause the support structure to sway. Furthermore, the roof design must take into account the wind resistance required for the solar panels to withstand the wind force, which undoubtedly increases the construction cost of the roof and limits its use. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a solar-based building with a more rational structural layout that can be automatically retracted in severe weather such as strong winds, reducing the force of strong winds on the solar panels.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a solar-powered building, comprising a ridge roof and multiple retractable solar power generation mechanisms installed on the sun-facing side of the ridge roof. The retractable solar power generation mechanism includes a cylindrical body, a ring plate installed on the top of the cylindrical body, multiple foldable solar power generation components evenly distributed on the ring plate, and a drive assembly.

Both ends of the drive linkages are equipped with universal joints. One end of the drive linkage is rotatably connected to the corresponding solar panel through the universal joint, and the other end of the drive linkage is hinged to the edge of the base through the universal joint. Furthermore, a hinge is fixedly installed on the vertical shaft, and the two solar panels are hinged to the vertical shaft through the hinge. The drive linkage and the solar panel are connected by a universal joint at a point far from the central axis of the vertical shaft.

[0009] Preferably, it also includes a protective baffle and a support member, wherein the support member is fixedly installed on the pedestal and the protective baffle is fixedly installed on the top of the support member; further, the outer diameter of the protective baffle is larger than the inner diameter of the top port of the cylinder.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model provides a solar-powered building with the following advantages: This solar-powered building stores solar energy through solar panels to provide electricity for the building, while the cylindrical body can collect rainwater flowing from the ridge roof. In the event of strong winds or other severe weather, the first drive cylinder drives the platform to move down, and after being driven by two drive linkages, the two corresponding solar panels move closer to each other. At the same time, the vertical shaft drives the horizontal shaft to rotate to one side of the center of the cylindrical body, so that the solar panels are retracted into the cylindrical body.

[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] As described in the background art, a solar-powered building has the following characteristics: Although the angle of the solar panels is adjustable, the solar panels are exposed on the roof, resulting in a large windward area. In severe weather such as strong winds, the solar panels can cause significant damage to the roof as they cause the support structure to sway. Furthermore, the roof design must consider the wind resistance required for the solar panels to withstand the wind force, which undoubtedly increases the construction cost of the roof and limits its use.

[0024] To solve this technical problem, this utility model provides a solar-based building that is applied to solar power generation buildings.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] For details, please refer to Figure 1-4 A solar-powered building specifically includes: a ridge roof 1 and multiple retractable solar power generation mechanisms 16 installed on the sun-facing side of the ridge roof 1. The retractable solar power generation mechanism 16 includes a cylindrical body 2, a ring plate 3 installed on the top of the cylindrical body 2, multiple foldable solar power generation components and a drive assembly evenly distributed on the ring plate 3 around the circumference. The foldable solar power generation components include a horizontal shaft 4 rotatably installed on the top of the ring plate 3, a vertical shaft 5 perpendicular to and fixedly connected to the horizontal shaft 4, and two solar panels 6 symmetrically arranged and hingedly installed on the vertical shaft 5. The drive assembly includes a first drive cylinder 7 fixedly installed at the bottom of the cylindrical body 2, a base 8 fixedly installed on the top of the first drive cylinder 7, and multiple drive linkages 9. Both ends of the drive linkages 9 are equipped with universal joints 10. One end of the drive linkage 9 is rotatably connected to the corresponding solar panel 6 through the universal joint 10, and the other end of the drive linkage 9 is hinged to the edge of the base 8 through the universal joint 10. Furthermore, a hinge is fixedly installed on the vertical shaft 5, and the two solar panels 6 are hinged to the vertical shaft 5 through the hinge. The drive link 9 and the solar panels 6 are connected to each other through the rotation point of the universal ball joint 10, which is far away from the central axis of the vertical shaft 5.

[0027] For details, please refer to Figure 2 A brake stepper motor 14, which provides power for the rotation of the horizontal shaft 4, is fixedly installed on the top of the ring plate 3.

[0028] Specifically, the top of the ring plate 3 is flush with the inclined end face of the top of the ridge roof 1.

[0029] Specifically, a downward-extending drain pipe 15 is installed on the cylinder 2, with the inlet end of the drain pipe 15 extending into the bottom of the cylinder 2.

[0030] The solar-powered building provided in this embodiment uses a braking stepper motor 14 to drive the horizontal shaft 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the vertical shaft 5 to move. This changes the tilt angle of the solar panel 6 and the angle between two corresponding solar panels 6. After the braking stepper motor 14 drives the horizontal shaft 4 to rotate, it brakes itself to prevent the horizontal shaft 4 from rotating on its own, thus limiting the position of the solar panel 6 and ensuring that sunlight shines on the solar panel 6 to the maximum extent, thereby improving the solar energy absorption effect of the solar panel 6. The top of the ring plate 3 and the top of the cylinder 2 are flush with or lower than the inclined end face of the top of the ridge roof 1, which allows rainwater flowing out of the top of the ridge roof 1 to enter the cylinder 2 more smoothly. The ridge roof 1 can increase the rainwater collection area, allowing more rainwater to flow into the cylinder 2. The drain pipe 15 can guide the rainwater collected in the cylinder 2 downwards for rainwater collection and utilization. In another embodiment, the first drive cylinder 7 and each braking stepper motor 14 are automatically controlled by an external PLC system to improve the automation level of the retractable solar power generation mechanism 16.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] Further optimizations to the solar-powered building provided in Implementation 1; for details, please refer to... Figure 4 It also includes a protective baffle 11 and a support member. The support member is fixedly installed on the base 8, and the protective baffle 11 is fixedly installed on the top of the support member. Furthermore, the outer diameter of the protective baffle 11 is larger than the inner diameter of the top port of the cylinder 2.

[0033] Specifically, the support component adopts a second drive cylinder 12, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the base 8. The output end of the second drive cylinder 12 passes through the base 8, and the protective baffle 11 is fixedly installed at the output end of the second drive cylinder 12. Furthermore, there are two sets of second drive cylinders 12, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first drive cylinder 7.

[0034] For details, please refer to Figure 2 The protective baffle 11 has multiple through holes 13 running vertically through it.

[0035] The solar-powered building provided in this embodiment, when the solar panel 6 is housed inside the cylindrical body 2, has a protective baffle 11 that can block hail and other debris, reducing the likelihood of hail falling into the cylindrical body 2 and further decreasing the incidence of damage to the solar panel 6. The second drive cylinder 12 can move the protective baffle 11 up and down, adjusting its height. When the solar panel 6 is unfolded, the output end of the second drive cylinder 12 is shortened, and the protective baffle 11 is lower than the solar panel 6, preventing it from blocking sunlight and affecting the power generation efficiency of the solar panel 6. The protective baffle 11 also reduces the amount of other debris falling into the cylindrical body 2. When the solar panel 6 needs to be stored, the output end of the second drive cylinder 12 extends, and the distance between the protective baffle 11 and the ring plate 3 increases to ensure that the solar panel 6 is smoothly stored into the cylinder 2 and to avoid interference from the protective baffle 11 in storing the solar panel 6. After the solar panel 6 enters the cylinder 2, the output end of the second drive cylinder 12 shortens until the protective baffle 11 is lowered to its limit position. The protective baffle 11 blocks the top port of the cylinder 2 to the greatest extent to reduce the entry of hail and external debris into the cylinder 2 and effectively protect the solar panel 6. The through hole 13 allows rainwater to enter the cylinder 2 to ensure the smooth collection of rainwater.

[0036] The usage process of the solar-powered building provided by this utility model is as follows: When encountering severe weather such as strong winds, the first drive cylinder 7 drives the platform 8 to move down. After being transmitted by the two drive linkages 9, the two corresponding solar panels 6 move closer to each other. At the same time, the vertical shaft 5 drives the horizontal shaft 4 to rotate towards the center of the cylinder 2, so that the solar panels 6 are taken into the cylinder 2. In sunny weather, the brake stepper motor 14 drives the horizontal shaft 4 to rotate, and the tilt angle of the solar panels 6 is adjusted adaptively so that the sunlight shines directly on the solar panels 6. The solar panels 6 store solar energy to provide electricity for the building, while the cylinder 2 can collect rainwater flowing from the ridge roof 1 and utilize the rainwater flowing from the drainage pipe 15.
