In addition, it has good compatibility with the output voltage range of solar panels; at the same time, it also has the advantages of simple system structure and flexibility. Its system integration may be relatively low, and the connection and collaborative working mode between the various parts are not clear and tight, which may cause the installation of the entire system on the vehicle to be more complicated, occupying a large space, which is not conducive to the space optimization of the vehicle. The detailed parameters of each key component are not clearly given, and there may be a certain efficiency loss in the process of energy conversion and utilization, which cannot give full play to the advantages of solar energy, resulting in energy waste and increased vehicle use costs.

[0022] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] In a specific implementation of the present invention, the vehicle-mounted photovoltaic charging system includes a photovoltaic power generation panel 1, which is connected to a photovoltaic power generation controller 2 through a wire, and the photovoltaic power generation controller 2 is connected to a battery 3 through a wire. The wire connecting the photovoltaic power generation controller 2 and the battery 3 is connected to an inverter charging machine 4, and the inverter charging machine 4 is connected to a vehicle charging line 5. The inverter charging machine 4 is also connected to a signal detector 6.

Under common lighting conditions, this voltage enables the photovoltaic panel to effectively convert solar energy into electrical energy, ensuring that stable and sufficient electrical energy can be generated in most environments to supply the subsequent charging system.

[0025] As an improvement, the photovoltaic power generation controller 2 outputs DC24V, which is suitable for charging the battery. 24V is one of the common charging voltage specifications for vehicle batteries, which can charge the battery safely and efficiently, avoid overcharging or undercharging, and extend the battery life.

[0026] As an improvement, the input of the inverter charger 4 is DC24V, and the output is AC220V. The AC220V output is controlled by two 24V100A relays. When the external charging pile is charging, the 24V relay output is automatically disconnected when the signal is detected. When the external charging pile is unplugged, the 12V relay automatically connects to the inverter output to charge the power battery. The 24V input voltage can make full use of the electric energy stored in the battery, while ensuring the safe operation of the system, providing sufficient DC power for subsequent inverter operations.

[0027] As an improvement, the negative pole of battery 3 is connected to three relays through a signal detection switch, and the signal detection switch is connected to the vehicle ACC power switch K1. The relay is provided with pins 85, 86, 87, 87a and 30. Pin 85 is connected to the positive pole of battery 3. Pin 86 of each relay is connected together and connected to the other output end of the signal detection switch through a wire. Pin 87 of relay one is connected to the output inverter charger 4, pins 87 of relays two and three are respectively connected to the AC220V input neutral line and the AC220V input live line, pins 87a of relays two and three are respectively connected to the AC220V output neutral line and the AC220V output live line of the charger, pins 30 of relays two and three are respectively connected to the AC220V input neutral line and the AC220V input live line of the on-board charger, and the negative pole of the battery is connected to three relays through the signal detection switch. This connection method realizes intelligent control of the charging system. Through the coordinated work of the signal detection switch and the vehicle ACC power switch K1, the relay can be precisely controlled to be on and off according to the vehicle's operating status, such as starting, shutting down, and external charging. The specific connection method of the pins on the relay ensures that the circuit can be switched safely and orderly in different working scenarios, such as the power supply and AC output of the inverter charger. For example, when the vehicle is started, abnormal current loops can be prevented, avoiding damage to the vehicle's electrical system and charging equipment, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the system.

[0028] As an improvement, the inverter charger 4 is connected to the photovoltaic panel 1, the battery 3, the battery input, the signal detection and the AC220V output. This multi-connection design reflects the high integration of the system. All key components are connected to the inverter charger, making the transmission and conversion of electric energy in the system more efficient and smooth.

[0029] As an improvement, the photovoltaic power generation panel 1 is connected to the photovoltaic power generation controller 2 through a line, the photovoltaic power generation controller 2 is connected to the battery 3, the battery 3 is connected to the K1 relay through a wire, the K1 relay is connected to the K2, K3, and K4 relays through an inverter, the K2, K3, and K4 relays are connected in series to the inverter, the inverter is connected to the K5 relay, and the K5 relay is connected to the vehicle ACC power supply. The connection relationship between the various components ensures that the entire system can work together. For example, the electric energy generated by the photovoltaic power generation panel can pass through the controller, battery, relay, inverter and other components in turn to achieve efficient conversion from solar energy to available electric energy for the vehicle.

[0030] As an improvement, the inverter is connected to the CC plug detection terminal through the K4 relay. This connection method adds a plug detection function to the system. When the vehicle is charged externally, the CC plug detection terminal can accurately detect the connection status of the charging gun, thereby achieving precise control of the charging process, and also helping to prevent safety problems such as overcharging and mischarging during the charging process, ensuring the safety of the vehicle and charging equipment, while also optimizing charging efficiency.

[0031] As an improvement, a detection switch 7 is connected to the K1 relay. Since the K1 relay plays an important role in the control logic of the entire charging system, such as being related to the vehicle ACC power supply, the detection switch can be used to promptly detect whether the K1 relay is working normally.

[0032] Working principle of the present invention: This charging system uses solar power generation to invert into AC voltage to form the purpose of charging, which solves the problem that new energy vehicles cannot be charged on the road and cannot use electric drive. It is produced to save fuel costs and the increased electricity charges of household charging piles. Although it realizes AC slow charging, it can solve the problem that the power is reduced during driving and the charging pile cannot be found to replenish the power. When driving in the city, the power battery can be kept full at any time, reducing the power battery from often appearing in the state of power loss and resulting in a reduction in battery life. For example, 10% of the power is consumed on the way to work, and when the car is parked in the parking lot, the remaining time is given to the solar automatic charging device. The solar charging device will replenish the power of the power battery during the 4 hours of work. When traveling on the road, if the power battery is low, you will be very worried about running out of power and breaking down. The solar charging device will not leave people on the road or call a rescue vehicle to a place with a charging pile for charging. You only need to rest in the car for 2-3 hours to continue running 20-30km, and you will not camp in the wild or call for rescue, which will increase costs. AC slow charging causes little damage to the battery and can keep the battery fully charged for a long time. In winter, when the car is parked in the parking lot, the battery will maintain a certain temperature when the solar charging system is charging, which solves the problem of battery not being resistant to freezing and losing power.

[0033] The solar charging device consists of a photovoltaic panel, a charging controller, a battery, an inverter, and a signal detection switch light. It has the functions of easy installation, strong practicality, energy saving, environmental protection, and battery antifreeze. This inverter has the functions of automatic start and stop for battery voltage detection, temperature detection protection, charging voltage detection protection, reverse charging shutdown energy saving and reverse charging protection. It will automatically stop running when the battery voltage drops to 10% of the remaining power of DC20V. When the battery voltage rises to above DC24V, it will automatically start charging. When it is detected that the AC charging pile is used for charging, the AC current is prevented from flowing back to the inverter and causing damage to the inverter, and the 220V output line of the inverter will be automatically disconnected.

[0034] When the detection switch detects that the external charging pile is charging, the K1, K2, K3, and K4 relays disconnect the power supply and output ends of the inverter, disconnect the vehicle plug detection PC end, and keep the inverter in a stopped state. When it is detected that the external charging pile is unplugged, this relay connects the inverter to put it into working state. When the vehicle is started, relay K5 is energized and also disconnects the K1, K2, K3, and K4 relays, so that the vehicle will not detect the plug-in state and cannot move. When the vehicle cannot detect that the charging pile is used for charging and the vehicle is already in the parked and turned off state, the K1, K2, K3, and K4 relays are in a closed state to connect the inverter power supply line and output line and the CC plug detection end.

Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features, and in the description of the present invention, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.
