Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of security monitoring technology, specifically to a solar cell video doorbell based on a floating button structure. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, security cameras, doorbells, door locks and other monitoring devices with video recording capabilities are being used more and more. Most home security doorbells on the market today are powered by built-in batteries, eliminating the need for a power outlet. However, due to power loss during standby and operation, the built-in batteries often run out of power quickly. Users then need to periodically remove the batteries to charge and reinstall them, resulting in a poor user experience and inconvenience. In recent years, some doorbells have been equipped with external solar panels powered via electrical connections. However, these are typically separate installations: either the solar panel is mounted on the wall and connected to the doorbell unit on the door via a wire, or both are mounted on separate brackets connected by wires at the top and bottom, again presenting installation and usage problems. Additionally, some doorbells have solar panels mounted on the doorbell frame, but these products have the following issues: 1. The solar panels of most of these doorbell products can only be installed in a small area at the top of the doorbell frame, and cannot cover the entire surface of the doorbell frame, resulting in problems such as small illumination area, low photoelectric conversion rate and insufficient power supply. 2. If solar panels are to be covered on the entire doorbell frame to increase the light-receiving area and photoelectric conversion efficiency, holes need to be drilled in the surface of the solar panels for the installation and fixation of the doorbell button. This not only damages the overall aesthetics of the doorbell, but also the integrity of the solar panels, resulting in a reduction in the charging area of the solar panels and a decrease in the photoelectric conversion rate. In addition, if the doorbell button can be pressed without damaging the solar panel, a touch-sensitive button is usually used. This lacks the tactile feel of a traditional mechanical button and is prone to false triggering due to environmental factors such as water droplets, which reduces the user's experience with the doorbell. Therefore, how to ensure the integrity of the solar panel while still achieving the function of a doorbell button and having the tactile feel of a traditional mechanical button is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a solar-powered video doorbell based on a floating panel button structure, comprising an upper housing and a lower housing fixedly installed thereon. The upper housing has a support frame, the surface of which is covered with a solar panel and a panel integrally attached to the solar panel. The lower housing contains a doorbell button. The support frame has a sloping surface that curves from top to bottom. The upper end of the panel is tightly fitted to the upper end of the support frame, and the lower end of the panel is fixed to the lower end of the support frame. The solar panel and the doorbell button elastically abut against each other. Under external pressing force, the panel flexes and deforms, thereby causing the solar panel to apply pressure to the doorbell button. Preferably, the lower housing is further provided with an energy storage battery and a circuit board, and the energy storage battery and the solar panel are both electrically connected to the circuit board. Preferably, the lower housing also includes a lens module, which is mounted on the circuit board and electrically connected to the circuit board. Preferably, one end of the support frame is provided with a lens mounting hole, and the other end of the support frame is provided with a doorbell button hole; the doorbell button is located in the doorbell button hole. Preferably, the panel is provided with a lens light-transmitting hole, and the lens light-transmitting hole corresponds to the position of the lens mounting hole. Preferably, the gap between the panel and the support frame is filled with a waterproof gasket. Preferably, the surface of the panel is coated with a doorbell button marking, which corresponds to the position of the doorbell button. Preferably, the panel includes a glass panel and an acrylic panel. Preferably, the solar panel includes a polycrystalline silicon solar panel, a monocrystalline silicon solar panel, and an amorphous silicon solar panel. Preferably, the amorphous silicon solar panel includes a perovskite solar panel, wherein the perovskite solar panel has a photoelectric conversion efficiency greater than 20% in a low-light environment. Compared to existing technologies, this invention directly mounts the perovskite solar panel onto the smart doorbell for power supply, solving the inconvenience of using household power outlets and eliminating the need for external wires or brackets to connect the solar panel to the doorbell body, making doorbell installation more convenient and simple. Furthermore, the glass panel and perovskite solar panel are integrated and bonded to the outer surface of the doorbell. The glass panel is tightly fitted to the upper end of the doorbell's upper housing support frame, while the other end is fixed to the lower end of the support frame via a silicone pad. The perovskite solar panel elastically abuts against the doorbell button. When the user presses the doorbell button on the glass panel, the glass panel undergoes a slight deformation within a certain range, thereby causing the perovskite solar panel to apply force to the elastically abutting doorbell button, thus realizing the doorbell's calling function. This effectively solves the problem of existing solar panels requiring surface drilling to press the doorbell button, avoiding damage to the overall surface of the solar panel, reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the solar panel, and preventing a decrease in the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar panel. Simultaneously, it achieves the tactile feel of traditional mechanical buttons, greatly improving the user experience. Furthermore, this invention uses a perovskite solar panel as the power source for the doorbell, achieving a conversion efficiency of over 20% in low-light conditions. This significantly improves the self-generation efficiency and battery life of the smart doorbell, resulting in a noticeably enhanced user experience. This invention boasts advantages such as simple structure, high battery efficiency, and excellent user experience.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. It should be noted that the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification and claims of this invention are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the steps or units listed, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices. Please see Figures 1-7 This invention provides a solar-powered video doorbell based on a floating panel button structure, comprising an upper housing 101 and a lower housing 102 fixedly installed thereto. The upper housing 101 is provided with a support frame 101a, the surface of which is covered with a solar panel 103 and a panel 104 integrally attached to the solar panel 103. A doorbell button 105 is provided inside the lower housing 102; the panel 104 undergoes flexural deformation under external pressing force, thereby causing the solar panel 103 to press the doorbell button 105. like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, one end of the support frame 101a is provided with a lens mounting hole 101a1, and the other end of the support frame 101a is provided with a doorbell button hole 101a2; the doorbell button 105 is disposed in the doorbell button hole 101a2. like Figures 1-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the lower housing 102 also includes an energy storage battery 106 and a circuit board 107, both of which are electrically connected to the circuit board 107. The lower housing 102 also includes a lens module 108, which is mounted on and electrically connected to the circuit board 107. Please continue reading. Figures 1-5 The panel 104 has a lens light-transmitting hole 104a, which corresponds to the position of the lens mounting hole 101a1. The surface of the panel 104 is coated with a doorbell button mark 104b, which corresponds to the position of the doorbell button 105. like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the upper end of the panel 104 is tightly fitted with the upper end of the support frame 101a, and the lower end of the panel 104 is fixed to the lower end of the support frame 101a (to...). Figure 3 The end closer to the lens aperture 104a is the upper end of the panel 104, and the end closer to the doorbell button label 104b is the lower end of the panel 104; Figure 4The end near the lens mounting hole 101a1 is the upper end of the support frame 101a, and the end near the doorbell button hole 101a2 is the lower end of the support frame 101a. Because the frame surface of the support frame 101a is an inclined surface with an arc transition from the upper to the lower end, after the panel 104 covers the surface of the support frame 101a, there is a certain gap between the lower end of the panel 104 and the lower end of the support frame 101a. Figure 6 As shown, a waterproof gasket (not shown in the figure) is filled in the gap between the panel 104 and the support frame 101a. The solar panel 103 and the doorbell button 105 are elastically abutted. Since the panel 104 itself has elastic deformation and the waterproof gasket is also elastic, there is a certain elastic space between the panel 104 and the support frame 101a. Therefore, a so-called floating button mechanism is formed between the panel 104, the solar panel 103 and the support frame 101a. The lower end of the panel 104 undergoes flexural deformation under external pressing force, which in turn drives the solar panel 103 to press the doorbell button 105. In this embodiment, panel 104 includes a glass panel and an acrylic panel. Solar panel 103 includes polycrystalline silicon solar panel, monocrystalline silicon solar panel, and amorphous silicon solar panel. In this invention, solar panel 103 is preferably a perovskite solar panel, which has a photoelectric conversion efficiency greater than 20% in low-light environments. The smart doorbell powered by the perovskite battery of this invention is used as follows: When a user needs to wake the doorbell, they simply press the doorbell button 104a on the panel 104. The lower end of the panel 104 undergoes a slight deformation within the support frame 101a of the upper frame 101, which in turn causes the perovskite solar panel 103 to apply force to the elastically abutting doorbell button 105, thus realizing the doorbell's calling function. This invention directly mounts a perovskite solar panel onto a smart doorbell for power supply, solving the inconvenience of using household power outlets and eliminating the need for external wires or brackets to connect the panel to the doorbell body, making installation much simpler and more convenient. Furthermore, the glass panel and perovskite solar panel are integrated and bonded to the outer surface of the doorbell. The glass panel is tightly fitted to the upper end of the doorbell's upper housing support frame, while the other end is fixed to the lower end of the support frame via a silicone pad. The perovskite solar panel elastically abuts against the doorbell button. When the user presses the doorbell button on the glass panel, the glass panel undergoes a slight deformation within a certain range, causing the perovskite solar panel to apply force to the elastically abutting doorbell button, thus enabling the doorbell to call. This effectively solves the problem of existing solar panels requiring surface drilling to press the doorbell button, avoiding damage to the overall aesthetics of the doorbell and preventing a decrease in the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar panel, while also achieving the tactile feel of traditional mechanical buttons, greatly improving the user experience. Furthermore, this invention uses a perovskite solar panel as the power source for the doorbell, achieving a conversion efficiency of over 20% in low-light conditions. This significantly improves the self-generation efficiency and battery life of the smart doorbell, resulting in a noticeably enhanced user experience.
