Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of charging pile technology, specifically to a mounting bracket for a charging pile solar panel. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the integrated photovoltaic, energy storage, and charging trend, integrating solar panels on top of charging piles to provide standby power and reduce energy consumption has become the industry mainstream. However, in order to ensure photoelectric conversion efficiency, solar panels usually have a large light-receiving area, which makes the supporting structure extremely vulnerable to strong winds in outdoor open environments.

[0003] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, existing technologies often employ methods such as reinforcing support rigidity or adding base counterweights for brute force. This approach not only significantly increases construction costs and site space requirements but also fails to effectively mitigate structural fatigue damage under extreme weather conditions. Furthermore, existing fixed supports generally lack self-cleaning mechanisms; long-term operation leads to a substantial decrease in photoelectric conversion efficiency due to the accumulation of dust, fallen leaves, and other obstructions on the surface.

[0004] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of the invention and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned defects and provide a mounting bracket for solar panels of charging piles.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by the present invention is as follows: a mounting bracket for a charging pile solar panel, comprising a charging pile; a support plate, which is inclined; a first solar panel, which is fixedly installed on the sun-facing surface of the support plate; a plurality of second solar panels, which are movably disposed within the support plate and can be moved to the outside; a wind-resistant bracket, which is connected between the support plate and the charging pile; and a driving mechanism disposed within the support plate, the driving mechanism comprising two drive motors and two turntables respectively connected to the two drive motors, the two turntables being arranged in upper and lower layers, each turntable having two symmetrically formed arc-shaped grooves, each arc-shaped groove having a slider slidably connected therein, and each slider having a connecting rod fixedly connected to a second solar panel; wherein, the plurality of second solar panels are divided into upper and lower layers, the first layer having two second solar panels distributed vertically, the second layer having two second solar panels distributed on both sides, and the two turntables respectively driving the upper and lower layers of second solar panels.

[0007] Furthermore, the support plate has a storage groove, and the support plate has openings at the top, bottom and sides that communicate with the storage groove. The drive mechanism is located in the storage groove, and two drive motors are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the inner wall of the storage groove. Each opening has a slide rail, and each second solar panel slides in the corresponding slide rail.

[0008] Furthermore, each of the openings is equipped with a brush, and each of the outer ends of the second solar panel is fixedly connected with a sealing plate that mates with the opening. When the sealing plate is in contact with the side wall of the support plate, the sealing plate blocks the opening.

[0009] Furthermore, the wind-resistant support includes a mounting frame fixedly connected between the bottom of the bearing plate and the top of the charging pile, and an upper arc portion and a lower arc portion are fixedly connected to the upper and lower parts of the inner side of the mounting frame, respectively.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper arc portion faces downwards, and the lower arc portion faces upwards.

[0011] Furthermore, a protective frame is fixed on the side of the first solar panel facing the light, and tempered glass is slidably connected inside the protective frame. The frame of the tempered glass is flexibly connected to the frame of the first solar panel through several shock-absorbing pads.

[0012] Furthermore, both drive motors are reversible motors with self-locking function.

[0013] Furthermore, limit switches are provided at both ends of the slide rail, and the limit switches are electrically connected to the corresponding drive motors.

[0014] Furthermore, the charging pile is also equipped with an environmental perception and control system, which includes a controller and a wind speed sensor, a light sensor and a rain and snow sensor electrically connected to the controller. The controller is electrically connected to the two drive motors respectively.

[0015] The advantages of this invention compared to the prior art are: 1. The second solar panel can automatically and intelligently adjust its unfolding area according to the weather, effectively reducing the wind load under extreme weather conditions.

[0016] 2. Utilizing aerodynamic principles, the wind-resistant support structure with its double-arc surface generates aerodynamic downforce, making the support more stable as the wind speed increases.

[0017] 3. By utilizing the telescopic cooperation of the second solar panel with the brush located at the opening, passive dust removal and sealing are achieved, eliminating the need for an additional dust removal mechanism. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] First embodiment: The present invention provides an installation bracket for a charging pile solar panel, which mainly includes a charging pile 1 as a basic carrier, a support plate 2, a first solar panel 3, a second solar panel 4, a wind-resistant bracket 5, a drive mechanism 6, and an environmental perception and control system 7.

[0022] The following section will elaborate on the composition, assembly relationship, and collaborative working method of each part.

[0023] The support plate 2 is inclinedly set above the charging pile 1. The first solar panel 3 is fixed on the sun-facing surface of the support plate 2. The wind-resistant bracket 5 is connected between the bottom end of the support plate 2 and the top end of the charging pile 1 to support and transmit the upper load. Multiple second solar panels 4 are movably set inside the support plate 2. The drive mechanism 6 is set inside the support plate 2 to drive the multiple second solar panels 4 to slide between the inside and outside of the support plate 2.

[0024] The overall working principle is as follows: Under normal weather conditions, the environmental perception and control system 7 controls the drive mechanism 6 to rotate forward, driving multiple second solar panels 4 to extend outward from the support plate 2 to increase the overall light-receiving area of ​​the solar panels and improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency. When any of the environmental wind speed, precipitation, or snowfall exceeds the safety preset value, the environmental perception and control system 7 controls the drive mechanism 6 to rotate in reverse, retracting the second solar panels 4 in the extended state into the support plate 2, thereby reducing the overall windward area of ​​the equipment. In conjunction with the aerodynamic structure of the wind-resistant support 5, the wind load is reduced, ensuring the safety and stability of the equipment structure.

[0025] The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0026] Second embodiment: To clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments. The second embodiment is a basic implementation of the supporting plate 2, the second solar panel 4, and the driving mechanism 6, as detailed below: The support plate 2 has a storage groove 21 inside, and openings 22 communicating with the storage groove 21 are opened on its top, bottom and sides. The two drive motors 61 of the drive mechanism 6 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top and bottom ends of the inner wall of the storage groove 21. Each drive motor 61 is connected to a turntable 62. The two turntables 62 are arranged in an upper and lower layer. Each turntable 62 has two arc-shaped grooves 63 symmetrically opened. A slider 64 is slidably connected in each arc-shaped groove 63. A connecting rod 65 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the slider 64. The end of the connecting rod 65 away from the slider 64 is fixedly connected to the second solar panel 4. Each opening 22 has a slide rail 66. The second solar panel 4 is slidably inserted into the corresponding slide rail 66. In addition, the multiple second solar panels 4 are divided into upper and lower layers. The two second solar panels 4 in the first layer are distributed vertically, and the two second solar panels 4 in the second layer are distributed on both sides.

[0027] The specific working principle of this embodiment is as follows: The turntable 62 located on the upper layer is used to drive the two second solar panels 4 of the first layer to move synchronously in a straight line through the corresponding slider 64 and connecting rod 65. Similarly, the turntable 62 on the lower layer is used to drive the two second solar panels 4 of the second layer to move synchronously in a straight line. This design effectively avoids mechanical interference between multiple sets of second solar panels 4 during movement. When the drive motor 61 outputs torque to drive the turntable 62 to rotate, the slider 64 is moved by the arc groove 63 to generate radial displacement. This displacement is converted into linear extension and retraction of the second solar panel 4 along the slide rail 66 through the connecting rod 65, realizing automatic adjustment of the light-receiving area. The drive motor 61 has a self-locking function, which can lock the position of the second solar panel 4 in the power-off or non-adjustment state to prevent structural displacement caused by external force.

[0028] Third embodiment: Based on the above-described basic implementation methods, the present invention also provides a third embodiment, which specifically implements the dustproof component of the support plate 2 and the flexible protective component of the first solar panel 3, as follows: Each opening 22 is fixedly equipped with a brush 23. The outer end of the second solar panel 4 is fixedly connected with a sealing plate 41 that matches the shape of the opening 22. In addition, a protective frame 31 is fixedly connected to the frame of the first solar panel 3 on the side facing the light. Tempered glass 32 is slidably connected inside the protective frame 31. The frame of the tempered glass 32 and the frame of the first solar panel 3 are flexibly connected by several shock-absorbing pads 33.

[0029] The specific working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the second solar panel 4 slides in or out along the slide rail 66 under the drive of the drive mechanism 6, the surface of the second solar panel 4 rubs against the brush 23. This relative movement can scrape off the dust attached to the surface of the second solar panel 4, achieving cleaning without an additional power source and ensuring photoelectric transmittance. When the second solar panel 4 is completely retracted into the storage groove 21, the sealing plate 41 and the side wall of the bearing plate 2 are completely attached, thereby sealing the opening 22 and preventing external moisture and impurities from entering the storage groove 21 and affecting the internal mechanical transmission. The flexible protective structure composed of tempered glass 32 and shock-absorbing pad 33 allows the shock-absorbing pad 33 to deform to absorb and buffer the impact kinetic energy when the equipment is subjected to physical impact from external foreign objects, significantly reducing the probability of damage and breakage of the internal photovoltaic modules. Preferably, the shock-absorbing pad 33 is made of silicone material.

[0030] Fourth embodiment: Based on the above-described basic implementation methods, the present invention also provides a fourth embodiment, which specifically implements the aerodynamic structure of the wind-resistant support 5 as follows: The wind-resistant support 5 includes a mounting frame 51 fixedly connected between the bottom of the bearing plate 2 and the top of the charging pile 1. The upper and lower parts of the inner side of the mounting frame 51 are respectively fixedly connected to an upper arc portion 52 and a lower arc portion 53, wherein the arc surface of the upper arc portion 52 faces downward and the arc surface of the lower arc portion 53 faces upward. The specific working principle of this embodiment is as follows: The upper arc portion 52 and the lower arc portion 53 are arranged opposite to each other, forming an airflow channel with a contracted cross-sectional area below the support plate 2. When the external airflow passes laterally through the mounting frame 51, the airflow accelerates within the contracted channel. According to Bernoulli's principle, the increased flow velocity leads to a decrease in static pressure, thereby forming a low-pressure zone between the upper arc portion 52 and the lower arc portion 53. This creates a pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the support plate 2, forming a downward pneumatic suction force (or downward pressure), which more firmly presses the support plate 2 onto the charging pile 1.

[0031] Fifth embodiment: Based on the above-described basic implementation methods, the present invention also provides a fifth embodiment, which corresponds to the specific implementation of the environmental perception and control system 7, as follows: Limit switches 67 are provided at both ends of the slide rail 66. The environmental perception control system 7 includes a controller 71, a wind speed sensor 72, a light sensor 73 and a rain and snow sensor 74 fixed on the charging pile 1. The input end of the controller 71 is electrically connected to each sensor, and the output end is electrically connected to two drive motors 61 respectively. Each limit switch 67 is electrically connected to the corresponding drive motor 61, and both drive motors 61 are forward and reverse motors with self-locking function.

[0032] The specific working principle of this embodiment is as follows: In the environmental perception control system 7, the wind speed sensor 72, the light sensor 73 and the rain and snow sensor 74 collect meteorological parameters in real time and feed them back to the controller 71. The controller 71 automatically schedules the start, stop and forward and reverse rotation of the drive motor 61. When the second solar panel 4 runs to the extreme positions at both ends, the limit switch 67 is triggered and the drive motor 61 is de-energized and self-locked to avoid overload damage to the mechanical structure motor and improve the automation level of the equipment.

[0033] When any parameter exceeds the preset safety value, the controller 71 controls the drive mechanism 6 to reverse, retracting the second solar panel 4. Once all safety parameters, such as wind speed, precipitation, and snowfall, have returned to within the preset safety thresholds, and the sunlight intensity meets the power generation requirements, the controller 71 controls the drive mechanism 6 to rotate forward, re-deploying the second solar panel 4.

[0034] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the spirit of the invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
