[0031] In order to make the technical problem solved by the present invention, the technical solution adopted and the technical effect achieved more clearly, the technical solution of the present invention is further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0032] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the referred device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0033] In addition, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features, and are used to distinguish and describe features, without distinction of order or importance. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0034] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0035] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 7 The specific structure of the inflatable flexible solar panel according to the embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0036] The inflatable flexible solar panel of the present invention comprises a main body 1, a solar panel 2, an airbag assembly 3 and a reset member 4. The solar panel 2 is connected to the main body 1 and has a contracted state and an expanded state. The airbag assembly 3 is arranged on the backlight side of the solar panel 2. The airbag assembly 3 is configured to change the solar panel 2 from the contracted state to the expanded state when inflated. The reset member 4 is arranged on the backlight side of the solar panel 2. The reset member 4 is configured to change the solar panel 2 from the expanded state to the contracted state when the airbag assembly 3 is deflated.

[0037] It is understandable that in actual use, when the airbag assembly 3 is deflated, the solar panel 2 is in a contracted state, which reduces the volume of the entire inflatable flexible solar panel, thereby facilitating the transportation and handling of the inflatable flexible solar panel. When the airbag assembly 3 is inflated, the solar panel 2 changes from a contracted state to an expanded state, and the presence of the airbag assembly 3 can improve the rigidity of the solar panel 2, reducing the impact of the external structure on the solar panel 2, thereby ensuring that the solar panel 2 can be used normally.

[0038] In addition, since the backlight surface of the solar panel 2 is also provided with a reset member 4, the reset member 4 can deform and store energy when the airbag assembly 3 is inflated. The airbag assembly 3 needs to overcome the elastic force generated by the reset member 4 to gradually stretch the solar panel until it is fully deployed. In this way, the solar panel 2 can be slowly deployed, avoiding accidents caused by the excessive deployment speed of the solar panel 2. When the airbag assembly 3 is deflated, the reset member 4 can drive the solar panel 2 to move from the deployed position to the retracted position, thereby realizing the automatic retraction of the solar panel 2, without the need for manual storage of the solar panel, and facilitating the use of the inflatable flexible solar panel of this embodiment.

[0039] The inflatable flexible solar panel of this embodiment has an airbag assembly 3 and a reset member 4 arranged on the backlight surface of the solar panel 2, which can not only improve the rigidity of the solar panel 2 in the deployed position and reduce the impact of the external structure on the solar panel 2, ensuring the normal use of the solar panel 2, but also realize the automatic retraction of the solar panel 2, eliminating the need for manual storage of the solar panel, thereby facilitating the use of the solar panel 2 and improving user satisfaction.

[0040] Advantageously, the airbag assembly 3 and the reset member 4 are staggered, thereby, on the one hand, being able to reduce the total thickness of the solar panel 2, the airbag assembly 3 and the reset member 4 after being stacked, which is beneficial to the miniaturized design of the inflatable flexible solar panel, and on the other hand, avoiding the mutual influence between the airbag assembly 3 and the reset member 4, thereby ensuring that the solar panel 2 can be normally unfolded and recovered.

[0041] In some embodiments, the main body 1 is provided with a receiving cavity 11, and in the contracted state, at least a portion of the solar panel 2 is contracted in the receiving cavity 11. It is understandable that in the contracted state, the solar panel 2 can be contracted into the receiving cavity 11, which can further reduce the volume of the entire inflatable flexible solar panel on the one hand, and facilitate the transportation and handling of the inflatable flexible solar panel, and on the other hand, the main body 1 can protect the solar panel 2, and avoid the phenomenon that the solar panel 2 is damaged during the transportation and handling of the inflatable flexible solar panel.

[0042] It should be additionally explained that, in the present embodiment, the solar panel 2 in the retracted state may be completely located in the accommodating cavity 11 or only partially located in the accommodating cavity, and the specific selection may be made according to the size of the accommodating cavity 11 and the size of the solar panel 2 .

[0043] In some embodiments, the accommodating cavity 11 is an arc-shaped groove provided on the side wall of the main body 1, and the contracted state of the solar panel 2 is a rolled state. Therefore, when the solar panel 2 is in the contracted state, it is located in the arc-shaped groove, which can reduce the volume of the solar panel 2 in the contracted state, thereby facilitating the miniaturization of the inflatable flexible solar panel, and can protect the solar panel 2 to a certain extent, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the solar panel 2 and prolonging the service life of the inflatable flexible solar panel.

[0044] In some embodiments, Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the airbag assembly 3 includes a first airbag 31 extending along the deployment direction of the solar panel 2, and there is at least one first airbag 31. It can be understood that the extension direction of the first airbag 31 is the same as the extension direction of the solar panel 2, so that the expansion of the first airbag 31 is conducive to the extension of the solar panel 2, thereby ensuring that the solar panel 2 can be stably deployed.

[0045] Preferably, the first airbag 31 is a plurality of airbags arranged at intervals. It is understandable that if the first airbag 31 is entirely covered on the back of the solar panel 2, such an integral first airbag 31 will cause the inflation time to be too long, and it is easy to increase the probability of damage to the first airbag 31. If a certain part is damaged or leaks, the entire first airbag 31 will fail. In this embodiment, the first airbag 31 is arranged in multiple strips and is arranged at intervals in a direction perpendicular to the deployment direction of the solar panel 2, which can greatly reduce the amount of gas charged, reduce the gas charging time, and improve the reliability of the first airbag 31. In addition, it can also ensure that when the deflated reset member 4 of the first airbag 31 drives the solar panel 2 to wind up, the first airbag 31 can also follow the solar panel 2 to wind up, thereby ensuring that the solar panel 2 can stably move from the deployed state to the contracted state.

[0046] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the airbag assembly 3 also includes a second airbag 32 arranged at an angle with the first airbag 31. It can be understood that the additional second airbag 32 can ensure that the solar panel 2 is in the unfolded state, and ensure the vertical stability of the solar panel 2, improve the rigidity of the solar panel 2 in the unfolded state, and improve the reliability of the inflatable flexible solar panel.

[0047] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the second airbags 32 are multiple and spaced apart, and one end of each second airbag 32 is connected to the first airbag 31. As a result, the mutual influence between the multiple second airbags 32 is small, and when one second airbag 32 is damaged, the deflation speed of the remaining second airbags 32 is slow, thereby improving the reliability of the inflatable flexible solar panel.

[0048] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the second airbags 32 are multiple and spaced apart, and each second airbag 32 is connected to multiple first airbags 31. Therefore, there are more connections between the second airbags 32 and the first airbags 31, so that the airbag assembly 3 is formed into a grid-like airbag, which improves the stability of the solar panel 2 in the unfolded state and improves the reliability of the inflatable flexible solar panel.

[0049] It should be noted that the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 are connected and can be inflated simultaneously during the inflation process, which simplifies the inflation operation of the airbag assembly 3 and facilitates users to use the inflatable flexible solar panel of this embodiment.

[0050] In some embodiments, the reset member 4 is a coiled spring extending along the unfolding direction of the solar panel 2 .

[0051] Advantageously, the coiled springs are arranged in a plurality of spaces along a direction perpendicular to the deployment direction of the solar panel 2, so that after the airbag assembly 3 is deflated, the solar panel 2 can move from the deployed position to the retracted position under the action of the coiled springs, thereby avoiding the solar panel from being completely stored and the solar panel from being twisted and bent. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the reset member 4 may also have a pivot with elastic restoring force, or other elastic structures that can drive the solar panel to automatically retract.

[0052] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the inflatable flexible solar panel also includes a support plate 5, which is rotatably arranged on the main body 1, and the support plate 5 is used to support the main body 1. It can be understood that the additional support plate 5 can make the solar panel 2 tilted when it is in the unfolded state, and this tilted setting is conducive to the solar panel's use of solar energy, thereby improving the energy conversion rate of the solar panel.

[0053] In some specific embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, a receiving groove 12 is provided on the main body 1, and the support plate 5 has a receiving state in the receiving groove 12 and a supporting state supporting the main body 1. The inflatable flexible solar panel also includes a connecting rod 6, one end of the connecting rod 6 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the receiving groove 12, and the other end is rotatably connected to the support plate 5.

[0054] It is understandable that the additional connecting rod 6 enables the support plate 5 to stably support the solar panel 2, thereby preventing the solar panel 2 from tipping over due to the instability of the support plate 5. At the same time, the support plate 5 can be accommodated in the receiving groove 12 of the main body 1, which is not only conducive to the miniaturization design of the entire inflatable flexible solar panel, but also facilitates the installation and transportation of the inflatable flexible solar panel and improves the aesthetics of the inflatable flexible solar panel.

[0055] In some embodiments, Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, the inflatable flexible solar panel also includes an inflatable component 7, which is arranged on the main body 1 and is used to inflate the airbag component 3. Therefore, when the solar panel 2 is unfolded, no external inflating device is required to inflate the airbag component 3, which facilitates the use of the inflatable flexible solar panel, reduces the external inflating facilities of the inflatable flexible solar panel, and improves the user satisfaction of the inflatable flexible solar panel.

[0056] In some specific embodiments, Figure 4-Figure 5As shown, the inflation component 7 includes an inflation cylinder 71, a piston rod 72 and a push-pull block 73. The inflation cylinder 71 is arranged in the main body 1. The inflation cylinder 71 has a gas channel 711 connected to the airbag component 3. The piston rod 72 is slidably arranged in the gas channel 711. The push-pull block 73 is connected to one end of the piston rod 72. The push-pull block 73 is configured to drive the piston rod 72 to slide in the gas channel 711 during reciprocating motion to fill the airbag component 3 with external gas.

[0057] It is understandable that in actual use, the user only needs to drive the push rod block to reciprocate, so that the piston rod 72 reciprocates in the gas channel 711, so that the piston rod 72 presses the external gas into the airbag assembly 3. In this way, the user can easily inflate the airbag assembly 3, simplifying the inflation operation of the airbag assembly 3, thereby improving the user satisfaction with the inflatable flexible solar panel.

[0058] Advantageously, a matching groove is provided on the top wall of the main body 1, and the push-pull block 73 is matched in the matching groove. Thus, when the push-pull block 73 is not in use, it can be well hidden in the matching groove, thereby improving the aesthetics of the inflatable flexible solar panel.

[0059] Of course, it should be additionally explained here that in other embodiments of the present invention, the inflatable component 7 can be formed into other structures. For example, the inflatable component 7 is formed into a wind wheel, which can flush gas into the airbag component 3 when the wind wheel is started, or the inflatable component 7 can be formed into a structure such as an air pump separated from the main body 1. That is to say, in the present invention, the structure of the inflatable component 7 can select any inflatable structure according to actual needs and is not limited to the above description.

[0060] In some embodiments, the inflatable flexible solar panel further includes a one-way valve (not shown), which is disposed at the connection tube between the gas channel 711 and the gas inlet 301 of the airbag assembly 3. The one-way valve is opened during inflation, and the gas is filled into the airbag assembly 3. When inflation is completed, the one-way valve is closed, and the gas is retained in the airbag assembly 3. Thus, on the one hand, the phenomenon of gas backflow during inflation is avoided, and on the other hand, the phenomenon of gas leakage after inflation is completed is avoided.

[0061] In some specific embodiments, the inflatable flexible solar panel further includes a one-way valve and a deflation valve (not shown), which is located upstream of the one-way valve and is used to discharge the gas inside the airbag assembly 3. It can be understood that the additional deflation valve can deflate the airbag assembly 3 when the airbag assembly 3 is in a high-pressure state, so as to avoid the airbag assembly 3 from bursting due to excessive pressure, thereby ensuring the use safety of the inflatable flexible solar panel 2 of this embodiment.

[0062] In some more specific embodiments, Figure 2As shown, the inflatable flexible solar panel further comprises a deflation button 8. When the deflation button 8 is pressed, the deflation valve opens and the gas is discharged from the airbag assembly 3. Thus, it is convenient for the user to perform the deflation operation of the airbag assembly 3.

[0063] Embodiment 1:

[0064] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the inflatable flexible solar panel of the present embodiment includes a main body 1, a solar panel 2, an airbag assembly 3, a reset member 4, a support plate 5, a connecting rod 6 and an inflatable assembly 7.

The airbag assembly 3 is arranged on the backlight surface of the solar panel 2. The airbag assembly 3 is configured to change the solar panel 2 from a contracted state to an expanded state when inflated. The airbag assembly 3 includes three first airbags 31 and two second airbags 32 extending along the expansion direction of the solar panel 2, and the two ends and the middle of each second airbag 32 are respectively connected to the three first airbags 31. The reset member 4 includes two coil springs extending along the unfolding direction of the solar panel 2, the two coil springs are arranged on the backlight surface of the solar panel 2 and are arranged at intervals, and the reset member 4 is configured to change the solar panel 2 from the unfolded state to the retracted state when the airbag assembly 3 is deflated. One end of the support plate 5 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the receiving groove 12, and the support plate 5 has a receiving state in the receiving groove 12 and a supporting state of the supporting body 1. One end of the connecting rod 6 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the receiving groove 12, and the other end is rotatably connected to the support plate 5. The inflatable assembly 7 includes an inflatable cylinder 71, a piston rod 72 and a push-pull block 73. The inflatable cylinder 71 is arranged in the main body 1. The inflatable cylinder 71 has a gas channel 711 connected to the airbag assembly 3. The piston rod 72 is slidably arranged in the gas channel 711. The push-pull block 73 is connected to one end of the piston rod 72. The push-pull block 73 is configured to drive the piston rod 72 to slide in the gas channel 711 during reciprocating motion to fill the external gas into the airbag assembly 3. The deflation valve is arranged at the air inlet of the airbag assembly 3. The main body is provided with a deflation button 8. When the deflation button 8 is pressed, the deflation valve opens and the gas can be discharged from the airbag assembly 3.

[0066] First, the airbag assembly 3 can control the deployment of the solar panel 2 when inflated. The inflated airbag can improve the rigidity of the solar panel 2. The solar panel 2 will not be twisted or bent during use, thus ensuring the stable use of the solar panel 2.

[0067] Second: when the airbag assembly 3 is deflated, the solar panel 2 can move from the deployed position to the retracted position under the restoring force of the reset member 4, thereby realizing the automatic recovery of the solar panel 2, thereby facilitating the use of the inflatable flexible solar panel;

[0068] Third: the main body 1 is provided with an inflatable component 7, which facilitates the inflation of the airbag component 3, thereby facilitating the use of the inflatable flexible solar panel;

[0069] Fourthly, the deflation button 8 can deflate the airbag assembly 3 when the airbag assembly 3 is in a high-pressure state, thereby preventing the airbag assembly 3 from bursting due to excessive pressure and improving the safety of the inflatable flexible solar panel 2 .
