Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tunnel engineering, in particular to a novel movable solar shading shed at a tunnel entrance. Background Art

[0002] In the hilly western region, tunnels are the preferred method for highway crossings. However, due to their unique driving environment, tunnels present undesirable phenomena such as the "black hole effect" and "white hole effect." Drivers experiencing visual discomfort or even temporary blindness while entering and exiting tunnels can make tunnel entrances a frequent site of traffic accidents. Furthermore, to address the brightness difference between inside and outside the tunnel, my country currently employs the method of installing enhanced lighting sections at the entrance. However, these enhanced lighting sections require significant power, which incurs significant operational costs for the tunnels. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the utility model provides a novel movable solar awning at the tunnel entrance, which solves the technical problem of high cost of lighting methods in the prior art.

[0004] A novel movable solar awning for tunnel entrances, suitable for installing solar panels, which can provide electrical energy to electrical appliances in the tunnel, comprises a bracket arranged in a detachable structure, wherein a plurality of sliding assemblies are arranged in the bracket, and the sliding assemblies are used to movably install the solar panels, wherein:

[0005] As the sunlight changes, the solar panel can be moved to a corresponding position by the sliding assembly, thereby improving the solar energy conversion efficiency of the solar panel.

[0006] Preferably, the support comprises arches, transparent polycarbonate plates and crossbeams arranged at intervals, wherein:

[0007] A plurality of crossbeams are detachably arranged on the outer annular surfaces of the plurality of arches and along the centerline direction of the bracket, and the crossbeams can fix the plurality of arches to form the bracket;

[0008] The transparent endurance plate is laid between adjacent beams and on the outer annular surface of the arch.

[0009] Preferably, the arch is arranged in a semicircular structure.

[0010] Preferably, the sliding assembly includes a slide rail and a slider arranged in an arc-shaped structure, and the slider is used to install the solar panel, wherein:

[0011] The shape of the slide rail is adapted to the shape of the arch frame and is mounted on the inner annular surface of the arch frame;

[0012] The slider is mounted on the slide rail in a sliding manner, and the slider is used for mounting a solar cell panel.

[0013] Beneficial effects

[0014] Arches are installed at the tunnel entrance and exit to mitigate light sensitivity. Transparent polycarbonate panels are combined to form translucent solar panels, effectively reducing light intensity. Drivers experience soft, non-glaring light when entering and exiting the tunnel. The solar panels also convert natural sunlight into electricity for electrical appliances within the tunnel, contributing to environmental protection and reducing costs. The solar panels are mounted on sliding assemblies and can be moved to the appropriate position based on sunlight intensity, location, and direction to maximize their power generation and sun-blocking capabilities.

[0025] See also Figures 1 to 4 The new movable solar awning at the tunnel entrance shown is suitable for installing solar panels 3, which can provide electricity to electrical appliances in the tunnel. The solar panels 3 are preferably made of translucent materials in the prior art. It includes a bracket with a detachable structure, and a plurality of sliding components are provided in the bracket. The sliding components are used to install the solar panels 3 in a movable manner, wherein:

[0026] As the sunlight changes, the solar panel 3 can be moved to a corresponding position by the sliding assembly to improve the solar energy conversion efficiency of the solar panel 3.

[0027] In one embodiment, the support comprises an arch frame 1, a transparent polycarbonate plate 2 and a crossbeam 4 arranged at intervals, wherein:

[0028] A plurality of crossbeams 4 are detachably arranged on the outer annular surfaces of the plurality of arches 1 and spaced apart along the centerline of the bracket. The crossbeams 4 can fix the plurality of arches 1 to form a bracket and are installed by screw assemblies. They can be easily disassembled when not in use. Transparent endurance panels 2 are laid between adjacent crossbeams 4 and on the outer annular surfaces of the arches 1. The transparent endurance panels 2 do not block sunlight and serve as wind and rainproof. Generally, the transparent endurance panels 2 are not provided at the bottom of the bracket to allow for better ventilation in the awning. The arch 1 is preferably arranged as a semicircular structure, the supporting structure is stable, and the bottom of the bracket is reinforced by locking angle anchor rods. The transparent endurance panels 2 can block rain and snow, prevent vehicles from slipping and losing stability at the tunnel entrance, and can also protect the solar panels 3.

[0029] In one embodiment, the sliding assembly includes an arc-shaped rail 9 and a slider. The slider is used to mount the solar panel 3. The rail 9 is shaped to match the shape of the arch 1, is two-thirds to four-fifths the length of the arch 1, and is mounted on the inner annular surface of the arch 1 and secured by adhesive or bolts. The slider is slidably mounted on the rail 9 and is used to mount the solar panel 3. The slider drives the solar panel 3 to move so that its shell faces the sunlight as much as possible.

[0030] In one embodiment, two adjacent arches 1 form a group for installing a solar panel 3. Generally, 3-5 groups of solar panels 3 are installed, wherein:

[0031] The solar panels 3 are arranged at intervals in the bracket, and slide rails 9 are respectively provided on the inner ring surfaces of two adjacent arches 1, and two adjacent sliders are respectively connected to the two ends of the solar panel 3 in a detachable manner.

[0032] The slide rail 9 adopts the arc-shaped slide rail structure in the prior art, such as Figure 3 As shown, it includes a substrate 6 with an arc-shaped structure, and a clip 7 with an approximately L-shaped cross-section and an arc-shaped structure as a whole is provided on the mounting surface of the substrate 6 in a mirror-image manner. The two clips form a sliding area 8 for the slider, and a gap is left between the clips to facilitate the extension of the axis on the slider 51 to install the solar cell panel 3.

[0033] Further, such as Figure 4As shown, the slider includes an I-shaped sliding member 51, rollers 53, and a mounting shaft 52. The sliding member 51 includes symmetrically arranged grooves 55. The mounting shaft 52 rotatably mounts the rollers 53. The sliding member 51 is capable of sliding on the slide rail 9. The mounting shafts 52 are spaced apart within the grooves 55. One end of the mounting shaft 52 extends out of the groove 55 and leaves a first extension. The first extension is detachably connected to one end of the solar panel 3 by, for example, a snap-fit, threaded connection, or other conventional methods. There are six rollers 53, with three mounted on each side.

[0034] Furthermore, a locking hole 54 and a locking member are provided at corresponding edge positions adjacent to the sliding member 51, wherein the locking member and the locking hole 54 are assembled in a threaded manner, and one end of the locking member passes through the locking hole 54 and leaves a second extension section. When the slider slides to a preset position, the locking member is rotated and the second extension section is used to fix the slider. For example, when the slider moves to an angle of 50°, it needs to be tightened. Therefore, the close contact between the second extension section and the slide rail 9 can increase the tightening force to prevent the slider from sliding.

[0035] Furthermore, the second extension section is provided with a conical structure, which increases the contact area with the slide rail 9 and provides a larger friction force. When the slider needs to be moved again, the locking member can be rotated in the reverse direction.

[0036] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, but the scope of protection of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this disclosure should be included in the scope of protection of the present disclosure. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present disclosure should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
