By sleeving the guiding spring 45 on the wire 44, it effectively ensures that the wire 44 can still be reset to its original state after being bent multiple times, will not produce fold angles or breakage problems, and ensures the use of the solar panel 1 and the overall folding plate body, having good applicability and durability. After the use is completed, the operator can first store the support rod 51 and lock it through the elastic buckle plate 23, and then fold and store the folding plate body. After locking through the cooperation of the lock hole on the plastic lock plate 24 and the plastic lock block 25, the operator can carry away the entire folding plate body by grasping the grip 21. The structure is ingenious, efficient and convenient.
