Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electric boats, and specifically to a folding solar-assisted charging panel device for electric boats. Background Art

[0002] Current ship solar technologies mainly rely on fixed or simple flipping structures. Typically, for the patent of Shanghai Minmeng Electromechanical Ship Co., Ltd. (CN222776161U), which expands the photovoltaic area through a single-sided flipping plate, it has the following defects:

[0003] Low space utilization: Fixed photovoltaic panels need to occupy deck space for a long time, cannot dynamically adjust the layout according to lighting conditions, and there are space conflicts with the layout of ship equipment;

[0004] Poor environmental adaptability: Lack of a folding protection mechanism, it is vulnerable to damage under harsh sea conditions such as heavy rain and big waves, and cannot effectively block salt spray corrosion;

[0005] Low functional integration: Only realizes the basic power generation function, without integrating an automatic tracking and protection system, and manual intervention is required to adjust the angle and cover protection equipment.

[0006] The patent of Shenzhen Topray Solar Energy Co., Ltd. (CN202420098735.1) realizes one-way folding through folding lines, but has limitations:

[0007] Lack of linkage control: Each plate folds independently without forming a linkage protection mechanism;

[0008] Limited expandability: Only supports single-dimensional folding and is difficult to adapt to the multi-condition requirements of ships. Summary of the Invention

[0009] In order to overcome the above defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a folding solar-assisted charging panel device for electric boats, which improves space utilization, protection performance and energy capture efficiency through the design of a folding mechanism, an integrated protection cover structure, and dual-motor collaborative control.

The two ends of the second rotating shaft are respectively rotatably provided with a second rotating arm and a third rotating arm. One end of the second rotating arm away from the second rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the middle parts of the two ends of the first charging panel. The middle part of the third rotating arm is rotatably connected to the middle parts of the two ends of the second charging panel. One end of the third rotating arm away from the second rotating shaft is rotatably connected to a third rotating shaft. The two ends of the third rotating shaft are rotatably provided with fourth rotating arms. The middle parts of the fourth rotating arms are rotatably connected to the middle parts of the two ends of the third charging panel.

When the first arc-shaped plate, the intermediate arc-shaped plate, and the second arc-shaped plate are all retracted, an opening is formed on one side of the protective cover mechanism. The solar-absorbing side of the folding solar charging panel mechanism faces the direction of the opening.

[0013] In a preferred technical solution, there are several intermediate arc-shaped plates, and the intermediate arc-shaped plates are slidably connected end to end in sequence. The second arc-shaped plate is slidably connected to the outermost intermediate arc-shaped plate.

[0021] Breakthrough in space efficiency: Through the linkage structure of the multi-layer articulated rotating arms and the four-section charging plate, the device can be folded into a compact form when not charging, significantly reducing the space occupied on the deck. The modular-designed middle arc-shaped plate allows the size of the protective cover to be adjusted as needed, taking into account the space requirements and function expansion under different working conditions.

[0022] Upgrade in all-weather protection: The integrated protective cover system is composed of three layers of sliding arc-shaped plates, which cooperate with the sealing structure to form a waterproof and windproof barrier, effectively blocking the erosion of rain and sea waves. The unique stabilizer plate-spring mechanism provides continuous pressing in both the folded and unfolded states, ensuring the stability of the charging plate in rough waters and extending the service life of the device.

[0023] Automation control: Synchronously control the folding of the charging plate and the opening and closing of the protective cover to achieve an automated process of "working when unfolded and protecting when stored". The omnidirectional rotating base is driven by an independent motor, enabling the charging plate to track the sun's azimuth in real time. Combined with the high torque output of the belt drive, the energy capture efficiency is significantly improved. Description of the drawings

A third charging panel 405 is rotatably arranged on the upper side of the second charging panel 404. A fourth charging panel 406 is rotatably arranged on the upper side of the third charging panel 405. On the first rotating shaft 402 and outside the two ends of the first charging panel 403 and the second charging panel 404, a first rotating arm 407 is fixedly arranged. At the end of the first rotating arm 407 away from the first rotating shaft 402, a second rotating shaft 408 is rotatably arranged. At the two ends of the second rotating shaft 408, a second rotating arm 409 and a third rotating arm 4010 are respectively rotatably arranged. The end of the second rotating arm 409 away from the second rotating shaft 408 is rotatably connected to the middle parts of the two ends of the first charging panel 403. The middle part of the third rotating arm 4010 is rotatably connected to the middle parts of the two ends of the second charging panel 404. The end of the third rotating arm 4010 away from the second rotating shaft 408 is rotatably connected to a third rotating shaft 4011. At the two ends of the third rotating shaft 4011, fourth rotating arms 4012 are rotatably arranged. The middle part of the fourth rotating arm 4012 is rotatably connected to the middle parts of the two ends of the third charging panel 405.

The rotation of the first rotating shaft 402 driven by the first motor 401 can control the folding and unfolding of the first charging panel 403, the second charging panel 404, the third charging panel 405 and the fourth charging panel 406. When the electric boat does not need to be charged or there is no sunlight, the folding solar charging panel mechanism 4 can be folded, which plays a certain role in protecting the folding solar charging panel mechanism 4 and also saves space for the electric boat.

When the folding solar charging panel mechanism 4 is closed, the protective cover mechanism 5 also follows to close. When the folding solar charging panel mechanism 4 is unfolded, the protective cover mechanism 5 follows to open, which is convenient to control. When the electric boat needs to be charged, the folding solar charging panel mechanism 4 is unfolded, and the protective cover mechanism 5 follows to open. The folding solar charging panel mechanism 4 charges the electric boat. When the electric boat does not need to be charged, the folding solar charging panel mechanism 4 is folded and located inside the protective cover mechanism 5, and the protective cover mechanism 5 plays a role in protecting the folding solar charging panel mechanism 4.

Whether the folding solar charging panel mechanism 4 is unfolded or folded, the stabilizing plate 505 can play a role in stabilizing the folding solar charging panel mechanism 4.
