Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ETC charging, and in particular to a light energy power supply module and an ETC device for ETC. Background Art

[0002] At present, the environmental pollution caused by waste batteries is serious. According to tests and calculations, one button battery can pollute 600 cubic meters of water; one No. 1 battery rots in the soil, which can make one square meter of land lose its use value. In daily life, if waste batteries are mixed with domestic garbage, the harmful heavy metals in the batteries will be dissolved after the batteries rot, which will pollute groundwater and soil, directly threatening human health. According to data provided by the China Battery Industry Association, my country's annual battery production is 18 billion, about 10 billion are exported, and the annual domestic consumption is about 8 billion. This is an extremely large consumption figure. These waste batteries have become one of the major sources of environmental pollution. At present, all ETCs sold on the market use 3.2V-3.6V lithium batteries and amorphous silicon small solar panels to power and charge ETC devices. During the charging process, the charging effect of amorphous silicon small solar panels is extremely poor, and users generally use ETC built-in batteries for 2-3 years before they are close to being scrapped, resulting in a large number of ETC built-in batteries that need to be scrapped every year. The scrapping of ETC built-in batteries has also increased the risk of environmental pollution and damage to a certain extent.

[0038] The positive and negative electrodes of the composite lithium-ion capacitor 12 are electrically connected to the energy storage end of the solar charging management circuit 13;

[0039] The voltage output terminal of the solar charging management circuit 13 is used to provide working voltage for the ETC body.

[0040] In this embodiment, the monocrystalline silicon solar panel 11 adopts a conventional solar panel made of monocrystalline silicon material, and can be laser cut to change the size and shape to meet the use requirements of different users. The composite lithium-ion capacitor 12 is a light energy environmentally friendly power source, which adopts a conventional model, has a long service life, can be recycled up to 50,000 times, is small in size, has a fast charging efficiency, and has an internal consumption of <5uA. It can provide a reliable and stable working voltage in high and low temperature environments of -40℃ to +60℃. The solar charging management circuit 13 can be implemented based on a conventional lithium-ion battery charging protection chip and a MOS tube. The PCB board 14 adopts a conventional model.

[0041] It should be pointed out that the composite lithium ion capacitor 12 is a new type of energy storage electronic component, which is between traditional capacitors and rechargeable batteries, and is particularly suitable for use in small current electronic equipment loads. The composite lithium ion capacitor 12 has the advantages of small size, high power density, many charge and discharge cycles, no combustion or explosion in short circuit, and low self-discharge.

[0042] In specific implementation, there is no need to modify the ETC power supply line. It is only necessary to embed the solar power module into a suitable housing and expose the front of the monocrystalline silicon solar panel 11 to receive natural light. The monocrystalline silicon solar panel 11 can output a continuous large current to charge the composite lithium-ion capacitor 12 quickly and efficiently. Figure 3 The structure shown.
