Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicle-mounted photovoltaic modules, and in particular to a lightweight vehicle-mounted photovoltaic module and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As new energy vehicles have obvious advantages over fuel vehicles with higher energy consumption in terms of environmental protection and economy, more and more vehicles are equipped with photovoltaic modules as their power source.

[0003] The bottom of the existing photovoltaic module body is mostly fixed to the roof with double-sided adhesive tape. The double-sided adhesive tape on all four sides is distributed in a continuous rectangular shape, and there is no gap at the connection between two adjacent double-sided adhesive tapes. However, this installation method results in an installation gap between the photovoltaic module body and the roof, and residual air is trapped in this space. The photovoltaic module body generates heat during operation. Especially in the summer, the roof temperature can reach 80-120°C. The moisture in the installation gap evaporates due to the heat to form water vapor. Due to the lack of an effective exhaust channel, the accumulation of vapor causes the surface of the module to expand and the roof to deform. In severe cases, it can even cause damage to the internal cells and circuits, ultimately causing permanent failure of the photovoltaic module body.

[0004] To address this issue, double-sided adhesive tape can be fitted with ventilation gaps at each of the four corners of the roof to allow for the release of water vapor from the installation gap. However, when the moisture in the installation gap heats up and forms water vapor, it adheres to dust and other impurities, forming a highly adhesive mixture. When air circulates through the installation gap, this mixture adheres to the gap between adjacent double-sided adhesive tape strips. Over time, this gap can become clogged, rendering the water vapor ineffective.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art for a new type of lightweight vehicle-mounted photovoltaic module and a preparation method thereof to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0051] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a lightweight vehicle-mounted photovoltaic module and its preparation method to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art. It can effectively discharge water vapor in the installation gap between the photovoltaic module body and the roof, thereby extending the service life of the photovoltaic module body.

[0052] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0053] Example 1

[0054] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a lightweight vehicle-mounted photovoltaic module, including a photovoltaic module body 100, which is adhesively fixed to the vehicle roof 300. The photovoltaic module body 100 has a rectangular structure, and the space between the photovoltaic module body 100 and the roof 300 is the installation gap. The photovoltaic module body 100 is provided with a breathing valve 200, through which water vapor in the installation gap between the photovoltaic module body 100 and the groove bottom of the roof 300 can be discharged.

[0055] In actual use, by setting the breathing valve 200, the installation gap between the photovoltaic module body 100 and the roof 300 is connected to the outside world, so that the internal water vapor can be discharged in time while preventing external rainwater from entering the installation gap and avoiding it affecting the service life of the photovoltaic module body 100.

[0056] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the photovoltaic module body 100 includes a photovoltaic panel 101, a first encapsulation layer 102, a solar cell array 103, a second encapsulation layer 104 and a photovoltaic backsheet 105 stacked in sequence. The outer dimensions of the photovoltaic panel 101, the first encapsulation layer 102, the second encapsulation layer 104 and the photovoltaic backsheet 105 are all larger than the outer dimensions of the solar cell array 103, and the solar cell array 103 is located in the central area of ​​the photovoltaic module body 100. The solar cell array 103 is composed of a plurality of cells arranged in an array, and the cells are connected to each other. This is a prior art and will not be described in detail. Of course, this five-layer structure is a common flexible photovoltaic module structure. If other functions need to be given to it, other layer structures can be added on this basis.

[0057] The breathing valve 200 is arranged at the edge of the photovoltaic module body 100. Specifically, the distance between the breathing valve 200 and the solar cell array 103 is at least 6.4 mm. The purpose of this setting is to effectively avoid mechanical damage to the solar cell array 103 during the hole opening process of the photovoltaic module body 100, thereby ensuring the product yield of the photovoltaic module body 100.

[0058] In this embodiment, the photovoltaic panel 101 is any one of a translucent PVF film, an ETFE film, or a PET film. The photovoltaic panel 101 is translucent, so that sunlight can pass through the photovoltaic panel 101 .

[0059] The photovoltaic backsheet 105 is a PET polymer sheet.

[0060] The first encapsulation layer 102 and the second encapsulation layer 104 are made of EVA or polyvinyl acetate.

[0061] In this embodiment, the roof 300 is a common planar structure. The photovoltaic module body 100 is arranged parallel to the roof 300 , and an installation gap is formed between the lower surface of the photovoltaic module body 100 and the upper surface of the roof 300 .

[0062] Alternatively, a rectangular mounting groove is provided on the roof 300, such as Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the breathing valve 200 can be installed in the installation groove, and the upper surface of the photovoltaic component body 100 is flush with the upper surface of the roof 300, thereby improving the aesthetics of the vehicle body.

[0063] In this embodiment, the photovoltaic back panel 105 is fixed to the bottom of the mounting groove on the roof 300 by means of double-sided adhesive tape 400. Specifically, four double-sided adhesive tapes 400 may be provided, and the four double-sided adhesive tapes 400 are respectively parallel to the four sides of the photovoltaic back panel 105, that is, the four double-sided adhesive tapes 400 can enclose a rectangular mounting gap.

[0064] In this embodiment, the breathing valve 200 is a one-way valve. The purpose of using a one-way valve is to allow water vapor in the installation gap between the photovoltaic component body 100 and the bottom of the installation groove on the roof 300 to flow only outward, while external gas or water will not flow into the installation gap through the breathing valve 200.

[0065] The one-way valve (i.e., the breathing valve 200) can be any one of the existing film check valve, lift check valve, butterfly check valve, or double-flap check valve. Of course, those skilled in the art can also select other one-way control structures according to actual needs, and are not limited to this one.

[0066] In this embodiment, the breathing valve 200 is a film check valve, and its specific structure and working process are as follows: Figure 5-Figure 6 As shown, the breathing valve 200 includes a first valve body 201, which is a basin-shaped structure with an open upper end and a closed lower end. The lower closed surface of the first valve body 201 is the valve body bottom surface 205, and a plurality of first air vents 203 are provided on the valve body bottom surface 205 of the first valve body 201. The lower ends of the first air vents 203 are connected to the installation gap. A first limit plate 204 is fixed to the upper end of the first valve body 201. The first limit plate 204 can be a rectangular plate integrally formed with the first valve body 201, and the first limit plate 204 is fixed at the central position of the circular opening at the upper end of the first cavity. A first cavity is provided in the first valve body 201, and the lower end of the first cavity is connected to the installation gap through the first air vents 203, and the upper end of the first cavity is connected to the outside world through the upper end opening of the first valve body 201. A first film 202 is disposed within the first cavity. The first film 202 can be any existing plastic film that is impermeable, UV-resistant, and capable of being pushed under vapor pressure. The size and shape of the first film 202 match the valve body bottom surface 205. The first cavity is tapered, meaning its internal cross-sectional dimensions gradually decrease from top to bottom. This allows the first film 202 to rest smoothly on the valve body bottom surface 205 within the tapered first cavity and block all first vent holes 203, without allowing water vapor to escape. An annular first outer flange 206 is provided at the outer upper end of the first valve body 201. The lower surface of the first outer flange 206 can be glued and fixed to the upper surface of the photovoltaic module body 100. The lower ends of all first vent holes 203 communicate with the mounting gap.

[0067] When the moisture in the installation gap is converted into water vapor due to high temperature environment, Figure 5 As shown, the pressure of the water vapor in the installation gap is greater than the external atmospheric pressure, thereby lifting the first film 202, and the first film 202 moves upward until it contacts the lower end of the first limit plate 204. At this time, the first vent 203 is in an open state, and the water vapor in the installation gap flows into the outside through the first vent 203. When it rains outside or the external air pressure is greater than the air pressure in the installation gap, Figure 6 As shown, external rainwater or air pressure will push the first film 202 to move downward. Due to the taper in the first cavity, the first film 202 can slide smoothly along the inner wall of the first cavity to the bottom surface 205 of the valve body, and can block all the first air holes 203, so that each first air hole 203 is in a closed state. At this time, the inside and outside of the first valve body 201 do not circulate with each other, and external rainwater or other impurities cannot enter the installation gap.

[0068] Example 2

[0069] like Figure 7-14As shown, this embodiment provides a lightweight vehicle-mounted photovoltaic assembly. The technical features provided by this embodiment are basically the same as those disclosed in Example 1. The difference is that the structures of the breathing valves 200 of the two are different, as follows:

[0070] In this embodiment, the breathing valve 200 includes a second valve body 207, such as Figure 12 As shown, the second valve body 207 is a cylindrical structure with upper and lower openings. A valve body bottom plug 208 is installed at the bottom of the second valve body 207. Figure 14 As shown, the valve body bottom plug 208 is a cylindrical structure. The valve body bottom plug 208 is plugged and fixed to the lower end of the second valve body 207. The valve body bottom plug 208 is provided with a plurality of second vent holes 213. Each second vent hole 213 is distributed on both sides of the valve body bottom plug 208, and each second vent hole 213 on each side is distributed in an arc shape. The second vent holes 213 can also be distributed on the valve body bottom plug 208 in other shapes. A second limit plate 210 is provided at the upper end of the second valve body 207. The second limit plate 210 can be integrally formed with the second valve body 207, or connected to the second valve body 207 by means of a snap connection or adhesive. The lower end of the second limit plate 210 is provided with a limit protrusion. The lower end of the limit protrusion can abut the center of the second film 209, so that the center of the second film 209 does not move up and down. The second film 209 is provided inside the second valve body 207. It should be noted that the second film 209 is a part of the photovoltaic panel 101, that is, the second film 209 located in the second valve body 207 is integrally connected to the photovoltaic panel 101 in the photovoltaic module body 100, providing a good support force for the second film 209 in the second valve body 207, which can effectively prevent the second film 209 from detaching from the cavity in the second valve body 207, thereby improving the working stability of the breathing valve 200. Figure 11-14 The sidewall of the second valve body 207 is provided with several valve body notches 212, specifically two opposed notches 212. These notches 212 allow the photovoltaic panel 101 outside the second valve body 207 to be connected to the photovoltaic panel 101 inside (i.e., the second film 209) as a single unit. An annular second outer flange 211 is provided at the upper outer end of the second valve body 207. The lower surface of the second outer flange 211 can be glued to the upper surface of the photovoltaic panel 101. The lower ends of all second vent holes 213 communicate with the mounting gap.

[0071] When the moisture in the installation gap is converted into water vapor due to high temperature environment, Figure 7 、 Figure 8As shown, the water vapor pressure in the installation gap is greater than the external atmospheric pressure, thereby pushing up the two sides of the second film 209. Since the second film 209 is integrally connected to the photovoltaic panel 101 and the limiting effect of the limiting protrusion of the second limiting plate 210, the central part of the second film 209 will not move upward, while the two sides of the second film 209 will move upward, as shown in FIG. Figure 7-Figure 8 As shown, the second vent hole 213 is in an open state, and the water vapor at the installation gap flows into the outside through the second vent hole 213. When it rains outside or the outside air pressure is greater than the air pressure at the installation gap, Figure 9-10 As shown, external rainwater or air pressure will push the two sides of the second film 209 to move downward until the second film 209 is in a horizontal state with the photovoltaic panel 101, and can block all the second air vents 213, so that each second air vent 213 is in a closed state. At this time, the inside and outside of the second valve body 207 do not circulate with each other, and external rainwater or other impurities cannot enter the installation gap.

[0072] Example 3
