DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present application, the present application will be described more fully below with reference to the relevant drawings. The preferred embodiments of the present application are provided in the drawings. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the understanding of the disclosure of the present application more thorough and comprehensive.

[0031] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0032] When describing positional relationships, unless otherwise specified, when an element such as a layer, film, or substrate is referred to as being "on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be intervening elements. Further, when a layer is referred to as being "under" another layer, it can be directly under or there may be one or more intervening elements. It is also understood that when a layer is referred to as being "between" two layers, it can be the only layer between the two layers or there may be one or more intervening elements.

[0033] In the case of using “including”, “having”, and “comprising” described herein, another component may be added unless a clear limiting term such as “only”, “consisting of”, etc. is used. Unless mentioned otherwise, a term in the singular form may include a plural form and should not be understood as being one in number.

[0034] It should be understood that although the terms "first", "second", etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another element. For example, a first element may be referred to as a second element, and similarly, a second element may be referred to as a first element without departing from the scope of the present application.

[0035] It should also be understood that when interpreting an element, even if not explicitly described, the element is interpreted as including a range of error, which should be within the acceptable deviation range of the specific value determined by those skilled in the art. For example, "approximately", "approximately" or "substantially" can mean within one or more standard deviations, which are not limited here.

[0036] Furthermore, in the specification, the phrase “planar distribution schematic diagram” refers to a drawing when a target portion is viewed from above, and the phrase “cross-sectional schematic diagram” refers to a drawing when a section taken by vertically cutting the target portion is viewed from the side.

[0037] In addition, the drawings are not drawn to a 1:1 scale, and the relative sizes of the elements in the drawings are drawn only as examples and not necessarily according to the true scale.

[0038] Golf carts are convenient and environmentally friendly short-distance transportation tools, and are very popular among golf enthusiasts. Existing golf carts are mostly driven by batteries, but the battery capacity is limited, and golf carts are prone to low power and other situations, which limits the mileage of golf carts. Therefore, it is an environmentally friendly and efficient solution to install a photovoltaic power generation device on the roof of the golf cart to charge the battery of the golf cart to ensure that the golf cart has sufficient mileage.

[0039] In the related art, the solar power generation device in the photovoltaic power generation device is generally connected to the roof of the golf cart by bolt locking or adhesive connection. Specifically, the adhesive connection method is to directly bond the solar power generation device to the roof of the golf cart with a connecting glue. During the connection process, the uniformity of the connecting glue is difficult to ensure, the operation is troublesome, and the service life of the connecting glue is limited. In the case of a long application time or a relatively harsh application environment, the connecting glue is prone to debonding, which leads to failure of the connection between the solar power generation device and the roof, resulting in the solar power generation device falling, etc., affecting the power supply of the photovoltaic power generation device. The bolt locking method is to drill holes on the roof of the golf cart, and then use screws, nuts and other threaded connectors to fix the solar power generation device to the roof, which will cause certain damage to the roof, and there are problems such as sealing after drilling, which is troublesome to operate. In addition, the roof of some golf carts is not necessarily horizontal, and it is difficult to make the solar power generation device and the roof fit well with screws and nuts. In order to ensure the connection quality of the solar power generation device, it is necessary to set an additional connection bracket, and the connection method is relatively cumbersome.

[0040] The installation and disassembly of the solar power generation device in the related art is troublesome, and in some cases, it is even impossible to disassemble the solar power generation device. For example, in order to ensure the connection stability between the solar power generation device and the ceiling, the adhesive performance of the connection glue is better, which makes it difficult to peel off some of the connection glue during disassembly, making it difficult to disassemble the solar power generation device, and forced disassembly may even damage the ceiling; or screws, nuts and other threaded connectors rust during long-term use, making them unable to loosen, making it difficult to disassemble the solar power generation device and affecting the appearance of the golf cart.

[0041] Based on the above problems, the present application provides a flexible photovoltaic power generation device, a photovoltaic power generation system and a vehicle, aiming to simplify the structure of the flexible photovoltaic power generation device, facilitate the installation and disassembly of the flexible photovoltaic power generation device, and reduce the installation cost of the flexible photovoltaic power generation device.

[0042] The embodiment of the first aspect of the present application provides a flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10, such as Figures 1 to 6As shown, the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 includes a flexible photovoltaic component 1 and a flexible cover 2, the flexible photovoltaic component 1 includes a first surface 11 and a second surface 12 relative to each other; the flexible cover 2 includes a bearing portion 21, a fixing portion 22 and a telescopic portion 23, the bearing portion 21 is arranged on one side of the first surface 11 of the flexible photovoltaic component 1 and is fixedly connected to the first surface 11; the fixing portion 22 is at least partially arranged around the edge of the bearing portion 21, and extends from the edge of the bearing portion 21 along the direction of the first surface 11 of the flexible photovoltaic component 1 to define a accommodating space, the accommodating space is used to accommodate a mounting portion 201 so that the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 is mounted on the mounting portion 201; the telescopic portion 23 is at least partially arranged around the edge of the fixing portion 22, and the telescopic portion 23 is configured to form an opening that can be expanded or tightened at the edge of the fixing portion 22.

[0043] In the present application embodiment, Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the material of the flexible cover 2 includes but is not limited to vinyl fabric, nylon fabric and fiber fabric, so that the flexible cover 2 has good flexibility. When the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 is connected to the mounting portion 201, the tightness of the telescopic portion 23 is first adjusted to expand the opening formed by the edge portion of the fixing portion 22, so that the area of ​​the opening is larger than the area of ​​the mounting portion 201, so that the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 can be simply and quickly mounted on the mounting portion 201, so that the mounting portion 201 is accommodated in the accommodation space defined by the fixing portion 22. Among them, the equipment to be powered can be an energy storage battery or an electrical load, and the mounting portion 201 can be the roof of a golf cart. It should be noted that the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 of the embodiment of the present application is not limited to the specific shape or size of the mounting portion 201. It can be understood that as long as the mounting portion 201 has a certain rigid structure sufficient to support the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10, it can be applied to the embodiment of the present application. In a typical application scenario, the mounting portion 201 can be the roof of a golf cart, the roof of a courier truck, roof tiles, the roof of an RV, the top of a tent, a window or glass of a house, etc.

[0044] In the present application embodiment, Figures 1 to 6As shown, after the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 is sleeved on the mounting portion 201, the tightness of the telescopic portion 23 is adjusted again, so that the opening formed by the edge of the fixing portion 22 is tightened, and the area of ​​the opening is smaller than the area of ​​the mounting portion 201, so that the mounting portion 201 can be prevented from being separated from the accommodating space formed by the fixing portion 22, thereby improving the connection firmness between the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 and the mounting portion 201. At this time, the bearing portion 21 connected to the first surface 11 of the flexible photovoltaic component 1 in the flexible cover body 2 is in contact with the top surface of the mounting portion 201, and the flexible photovoltaic component 1 covers the mounting portion 201, so that the flexible photovoltaic power generation component and the mounting portion 201 are tightly connected, and the fixing portion 22 connected to the bearing portion 21 covers the side of the mounting portion 201, or the fixing portion 22 connected to the bearing portion 21 covers at least a part of the side and bottom surface of the mounting portion 201.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, when the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 is disassembled from the mounting portion 201, the tightness of the telescopic portion 23 can be adjusted again, so that the opening formed by the edge portion of the fixed portion 22 is enlarged, and the area of ​​the opening is larger than the area of ​​the mounting portion 201, so that the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 can be easily and quickly detached from the mounting portion 201.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present application, the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 has good bendability. When the area of ​​the mounting portion 201 is certain, under the condition of ensuring normal photovoltaic power generation performance, the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 can be fixedly connected with different mounting portions 201 through the flexible cover 2. The mounting portion 201 can be a plane mounting portion 201, an inclined mounting portion 201, a curved mounting portion 201 or a spliced ​​mounting portion 201. The spliced ​​mounting portion 201 is a mounting portion 201 formed by a plane, an inclined surface or a curved surface. There is no need to set up a dedicated flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 to connect with different mounting portions 201, nor is there a need to change the structure of the mounting portion 201, and to set up an additional connecting bracket, which can reduce the installation cost of the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 and expand the application range of the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, the installation and disassembly of the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 and the mounting portion 201 can be achieved by tightening and stretching the telescopic portion 23. The installation and disassembly method is simple and convenient. During the installation process, there is no need to modify the structure of the mounting portion 201, and there is no need to set up additional connecting brackets. This can reduce the installation cost of the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 and improve the installation efficiency and disassembly efficiency of the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10. The flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 has good flexibility. Under the condition of ensuring normal photovoltaic power generation performance, the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 can be well attached to the surface of different types of mounting portions 201. There is no need to set up a dedicated flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 to connect with different mounting portions 201. This can further reduce the installation cost of the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 and expand the application range of the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10.

[0048] Alternatively, if Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the bearing portion 21 and the fixing portion 22 can be integrally formed of the same material to further simplify the structure and manufacturing process of the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 and facilitate the installation and disassembly of the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 .

[0049] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the flexible photovoltaic assembly 1 includes a plurality of photovoltaic cells 13 electrically connected to each other, and adjacent photovoltaic cells 13 are connected by flexible wires. In a direction perpendicular to the photovoltaic cells 13, the orthographic projection of each photovoltaic cell 13 is located within the orthographic projection of the bearing portion 21. The plurality of photovoltaic cells 13 and the flexible wires enable the flexible photovoltaic assembly 1 to be bent or rolled during installation and removal, so that the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 formed by the flexible photovoltaic assembly 1 and the flexible cover 2 has good bending performance, so that the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 can be bent or rolled during installation and removal while ensuring the photovoltaic power generation performance of the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10. At the same time, for different types of mounting portions 201, the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 can be well attached to the surface of the mounting portion 201, thereby expanding the application range of the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10.

[0050] In some embodiments, in order to install or remove the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 by tightening or stretching the telescopic portion 23, the telescopic portion 23 can be set as a ring-shaped elastic component. The elastic component can be one or more of a spring, a rubber band, an elastic band, and a latex ring, and this embodiment does not limit the specific elastic component.

[0051] Optionally, in a possible implementation manner, as Figure 1As shown, a closed annular channel is provided on the edge of one side of the fixed portion 22 away from the bearing portion 21, and the telescopic portion 23 is arranged in the annular channel. Specifically, a closed annular channel is provided on the edge of one side of the fixed portion 22 away from the bearing portion 21, and the annular channel may be additionally attached to the edge of the fixed portion 22, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the annular channel is adapted to the cross-sectional area of ​​the telescopic portion 23, so that the telescopic portion 23 can pass through the annular channel more easily. The annular channel may also be formed by winding the edge of the fixed portion 22, and the telescopic portion 23 is directly wrapped in the annular channel during the winding process. In this embodiment, the annular channel extends or contracts together with the telescopic portion 23 during use, and the annular channel may be a continuous channel or a channel arranged at intervals, which is not limited in this application. The telescopic portion 23 is arranged in the annular channel, and the annular channel may provide certain protection for the telescopic portion 23, delay the wear or aging of the telescopic portion 23, increase the service life of the telescopic portion 23, and improve the reliability of the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10.

[0052] Optionally, in another possible embodiment, the telescopic portion 23 is disposed around at least one surface of the edge of the fixing portion 22. Specifically, in this embodiment, there is no need to provide an annular channel, but the telescopic portion 23 is directly fixed to at least one surface of the edge of the fixing portion 22 by means such as sewing or gluing. Thus, the telescopic portion 23 can be formed on the inner surface and / or outer surface of the edge of the fixing portion 22 away from the bearing portion 21.

[0053] Optionally, in another possible embodiment, the telescopic portion 23 is disposed around the edge of the fixed portion 22. Specifically, in this embodiment, the telescopic portion 23 is directly fixedly connected to the edge of the fixed portion 22, thereby a simpler manufacturing process can be used to achieve the connection between the telescopic portion 23 and the fixed portion 22.

[0054] In the above-mentioned optional embodiments, by providing a telescopic portion 23 composed of an annular elastic component on the edge of the fixed portion 22, the size of the opening formed by the edge of the fixed portion 22 can be adjusted, and the installation and removal of the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 can be realized simply and quickly, thereby improving the installation efficiency and removal efficiency of the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10. For example, a certain tension is provided to extend the telescopic portion 23, increase the area of ​​the opening formed by the fixed portion 22, and allow the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 to be sleeved on the mounting portion 201, and then the pressure applied to the telescopic portion 23 is canceled, and the telescopic portion 23 shrinks and recovers to its original length under the action of its own elastic force, and the area of ​​the opening formed by the fixed portion 22 is reduced, so that the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 is fixedly connected to the mounting portion 201. Correspondingly, a certain tension is provided to the telescopic portion 23 on the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 connected to the mounting portion 201, so that the telescopic portion 23 is extended, and the area of ​​the opening formed by the fixed portion 22 is increased, so that the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 can be removed from the mounting portion 201. The entire installation or disassembly process does not require any modification to the installation portion 201, nor does it require the addition of other installation brackets. The process is simple and efficient, which improves the user experience.

[0055] In some embodiments, Figures 2 to 6 As shown, in order to install or disassemble the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 by tightening or stretching the telescopic portion 23, the telescopic portion 23 can be set as a connecting rope. The material of the connecting rope can be synthetic fibers such as nylon, polyester, polyolefin, etc., and needs to meet a certain tensile strength to provide a more reliable fixing effect.

[0056] In some embodiments, Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the telescopic part 23 is a connecting rope, and a channel 221 is provided on the edge of one side of the fixing part 22 away from the bearing part 21. The channel 221 is provided with at least one opening. The telescopic part 23 is inserted into the channel 221, and the telescopic part 23 extends from the channel 221 through each opening to form two free ends. The two free ends are expanded or tightened by tying a knot; or, the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 further includes a spring buckle, and the two free ends are connected to the spring buckle, and the opening is expanded or tightened by adjusting the relative position of the spring buckle and the free end.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, a plurality of openings may also be provided on the channel 221, for example, Figure 7As shown, two openings can be symmetrically arranged on the channel 221, and the two openings divide the channel 221 into two continuous sub-channels. A connecting rope is arranged in each continuous sub-channel, and the two ends of each connecting rope extend from the sub-channel through the two openings to form free ends. The two ends of the two connecting ropes that are close to each other can be connected by knotting or spring buckles; or the two ends of each connecting rope can be connected by knotting or spring buckles, so that the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 is symmetrically fixed to the mounting portion 201.

[0058] Alternatively, if Figure 8 As shown, when the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 is rectangular as a whole and the mounting portion 201 is also rectangular, four openings can be provided on the channel 221, and the four openings are respectively located in the central axis area of ​​the four sides of the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10, that is, the four openings are evenly arranged on the edge of the fixing portion 22, so that the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 can be fixed with balanced force in all directions during the connection process with the mounting portion 201. The four openings divide the channel 221 into four continuous sub-channels, and a connecting rope is arranged in each continuous sub-channel, and the two ends of each connecting rope extend from the sub-channel through two openings to form free ends. The connection method of the four connecting ropes is similar to the connection method of the above-mentioned two connecting ropes, which will not be repeated here.

[0059] In the present application embodiment, Figure 8 As shown, the arrangement of the four openings also facilitates the staff to adjust the size of the opening formed by the edge of the fixing portion 22, so as to facilitate the position adjustment of the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 during the installation process. For example, when the connection between a certain side or a certain corner of the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 and the mounting portion 201 is relatively loose, only the tightening or stretching degree of the connecting rope in the side or corner area can be adjusted to make the connection between the area and the mounting portion 201 tight, without adjusting all the connecting ropes in the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10.

The first connecting rope 4 can also straighten the flexible photovoltaic assembly 1 in the area where the first connecting rope 4 is arranged after the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 is connected to the mounting portion 201, thereby improving the flatness of the flexible photovoltaic assembly 1 after being installed on the mounting portion 201, and increasing the contact area between the second surface 12 of the flexible photovoltaic assembly 1 and the sunlight, thereby improving the power generation efficiency of the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10. Among them, the free ends of the two symmetrically arranged first connecting ropes 4 can be connected by knotting or snapping.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present application, the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 may include one or more groups of first connecting ropes 4, and each group of first connecting ropes 4 includes two symmetrically arranged first connecting ropes 4.

When the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 includes multiple groups of first connecting ropes 4, the multiple groups of first connecting ropes can be evenly arranged on the edge of the fixing portion 22, so as to further improve the connection tightness between the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 and the mounting portion 201, and balance the force on the flexible photovoltaic power generation device during use.

[0066] Optionally, when the mounting portion 201 is a spliced ​​mounting portion 201 formed by splicing two planes with different slopes, the first connecting rope 4 can be arranged at the area corresponding to the splicing of the fixing portion 22 and the two planes, which can improve the connection stability between the splicing of the flexible photovoltaic power generation device 10 and the mounting portion 201, and improve the flatness of the flexible photovoltaic assembly 1. The number and position of the first connecting rope 4 can be set according to actual needs, and this application does not limit this.

[0067] Optionally, the first connecting rope 4 can be iron wire, woolen thread, nylon rope or other flexible materials.
