For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0029] Example:

[0030] See also Figure 1-6 An inflatable flexible solar panel includes a positioning plate 1, a storage box 2 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the positioning plate 1, a winding mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to the left and right walls of the inner cavity of the storage box 2, two connecting rods 4 are fixedly connected to the rear end of the storage box 2, and a flip mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to the ends of the two connecting rods 4 close to each other.

[0031] In this solution, the installation position of the flexible solar panel is fixed by a positioning plate 1, the storage box 2 cooperates with the winding mechanism 3 to store the flexible solar panel, and the flipping mechanism 5 is used to control the unfolding and use of the flexible solar panel.

[0032] See also Figure 2 The winding mechanism 3 includes a rotating shaft 31, the left and right ends of the rotating shaft 31 are respectively fixedly connected to the left walls of the inner cavity of the storage box 2, a spring roll 32 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 31, a reel 33 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 31, a solar panel and an air bag 34 are wound around the outer surface of the reel 33, an air pipe 35 is fixedly connected to the ends of the solar panel and the air bag 34, and a valve 36 is fixedly connected to the left end of the air pipe 35.

[0033] In this solution, the flexible solar panel is pulled out from the storage box 2 by pulling the air tube 35. When the air tube 35 is pulled, the solar panel and the airbag 34 will drive the rotating shaft 31 to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating shaft 31 will cause the spring roll 32 to shrink. When the external force disappears, the spring roll 32 will return to its original shape, which will drive the solar panel and the airbag 34 to shrink and return to the storage box 2.

[0034] See also Figure 3-4The flipping mechanism 5 includes a positioning plate 51, the inner surface of the positioning plate 51 is fixedly connected with a flipping assembly 52, the inside of the flipping assembly 52 is fixedly connected with a transmission shaft 53, the outer surface of the transmission shaft 53 is fixedly connected with a flap 54, the upper end of the flap 54 is fixedly connected with an air pump 55, and the front end of the flap 54 is fixedly connected with two grasping assemblies 56, the flipping assembly 52 includes a push rod 521, the front end of the push rod 521 is fixedly connected with a rack 522, the outer surface of the rack 522 is slidably connected with a limiting groove 523, the left and right ends of the limiting groove 523 are fixedly connected to the inner surface of the positioning plate 51, the outer surface of the rack 522 is meshingly connected with a gear 524, and the inner surface of the gear 524 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the transmission shaft 53.

[0035] In this solution, the rack 522 moves forward and backward in the inner cavity of the limit groove 523 by pushing or pulling the push rod 521 forward, and the rack 522 drives the gear 524 to rotate. Because the inner surface of the gear 524 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the transmission shaft 53, the rotation of the gear 524 will cause the transmission shaft 53 to rotate as well, and eventually the flap 54 will flip around the transmission shaft 53 as the axis, and the two grasping components 56 will grip the outer surface of the air pipe 35. When the flap 54 flips, an external force is applied to the air pipe 35, so that the solar panel and the airbag 34 are unfolded or retracted.

[0036] See also Figure 5-6 The gripping assembly 56 includes two short arc plates 561, and one end of the two short arc plates 561 close to each other is fixedly connected with an elastic member 562, and the upper part of the elastic member 562 is fixedly connected with a long arc plate 563, and the outer surface of the long arc plate 563 is fixedly connected with a pull rod 564, and the elastic member 562 includes a guide arc tube 5621, and the outer surface of the guide arc tube 5621 is fixedly connected to the front end of the flap 54, and the inner cavity of the guide arc tube 5621 is fixedly connected with an arc spring 5622, and the inner surface of the guide arc tube 5621 is provided with an arc slide groove 1 5623, and the inner cavity of the guide arc tube 5621 is provided with an arc slide groove 2 5624, and the inner surface of the arc slide groove 1 5623 and the inner surface of the arc slide groove 2 5624 are jointly movably connected with a sliding pressure plate 5625, and the inner surface of the sliding pressure plate 5625 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the long arc plate 563.

[0037] In this scheme, the pull rod 564 is pulled downward to make the long arc plate 563 rotate close to the inner surfaces of the two short arc plates 561. At this time, the external force will cause the sliding pressure plate 5625 to slide in the inner cavity of the arc slide groove 2 5624 and the arc slide groove 1 5623, so that the arc spring 5622 is squeezed by the sliding pressure plate 5625. At this time, the air pipe 35 is inserted into the inner surface of the long arc plate 563, and the pull rod 564 is released. The long arc plate 563 will return to its original shape under the action of the arc spring 5622, and cooperate with the two short arc plates 561 to grasp the air pipe 35, so that the air pipe 35 can rotate on the inner surface of the long arc plate 563 and the inner surface of the two short arc plates 561 but will not detach, so that the deployment or retraction of the solar panel and the airbag 34 can be controlled by external force.

[0038] Working principle: When in use, first use the positioning plate 2 51 and the positioning plate 1 to fix the installation position of the flexible solar panel, and then pull the pull rod 564 downward to make the long arc plate 563 close to the inner surfaces of the two short arc plates 561 and rotate. At this time, the external force will cause the sliding pressure plate 5625 to slide in the inner cavity of the arc slide groove 2 5624 and the arc slide groove 1 5623, so that the arc spring 5622 is squeezed by the sliding pressure plate 5625. At this time, the air pipe 35 is inserted into the inner surface of the long arc plate 563, and the pull rod 564 is released. The long arc plate 563 will return to its original shape under the action of the arc spring 5622, and cooperate with the two short arc plates 561 to grasp the air pipe 35. At this time, push the push rod 521 forward to make the rack 522 move forward in the inner cavity of the limiting groove 523. When the gear 524 moves forward, the rack 522 will drive the gear 524 to rotate. Because the inner surface of the gear 524 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the transmission shaft 53, the rotation of the gear 524 will cause the transmission shaft 53 to rotate as well, and eventually the flap 54 will flip toward the rear end with the transmission shaft 53 as the axis. At this time, the two grasping components 56 will grasp the outside of the air pipe 35, pull the flexible solar panel out of the inner cavity of the storage box 2, start the air pump 55, and inflate the airbag on the back thereof. When it is not needed, first open the valve 36 to deflate the flexible solar panel. After the deflation is completed, pull the push rod 521 backward to make the flap 54 return to the initial position. At this time, the spring coil 32 will restore its initial shape, which will drive the solar panel and the airbag 34 to shrink and return to the inside of the storage box 2.

[0039] The above is only a preferred specific implementation of the utility model; however, the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical solution and improved ideas of the utility model within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, which should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
