[0040] In addition, the driving handle 58 can also be driven by a motor to speed up the folding efficiency of the solar panel 20 and save time and effort. It should be noted that the mechanism for driving the scroll 52 to rotate is not limited to the worm gear 56, worm 57 and gear mechanism, but can also be belt driven or other forms.
[0041] The solar panel 20 includes a plurality of panels 21, and the adjacent panels 21 are foldably connected to each other through flexible components or hinged components. A pull ring 22 is provided in the area between the adjacent panels 21. The pull wire passes through the plurality of pull rings 22 in sequence along the folding direction of the solar panel 20, and the pull ring 22 is slidably hung on the pull wire 50.

[0042] The elastic support mechanism 30 includes a left support arm assembly 31 and a right support arm assembly 32, and the left support arm assembly 31 and the right support arm assembly 32 respectively include a first support arm 33 and a second support arm 34, the front end of the first support arm 33 is connected to the front side plate 11, and the second support arm 34 is connected to the rear side plate 12, the rear end of the first support arm 33 and the front end of the second support arm 34 are hinged to each other, and a tension spring 35 and a rope 36 are passed through the first support arm 33 and the second support arm 34, the tension spring 35 is connected between the end of the second support arm 34 and one end of the rope 36, and the other end of the rope 36 is connected to the end of the first support arm 33 after passing through the hinged position of the first support arm 33 and the second support arm 34; and a limiting portion 37 for preventing the first support arm 33 and the second support arm 34 from opening too much under the action of the tension spring 35 and the rope 36 is provided at the hinged position of the first support arm 33 and the second support arm 34. When the solar panel 20 is unfolded, the tension spring 35 pulls the rope 36 to provide elastic tension for the first arm 33 to rotate and unfold relative to the second arm 34. During the rotation of the first arm 33 relative to the second arm 34, the solar panel 20 will gradually unfold accordingly. When the first arm 33 rotates to a certain angle relative to the second arm 34, the limit portion 37 will prevent the first arm 33 from continuing to rotate, thereby preventing the first arm 33 from rotating too much relative to the second arm 34 and generating a dead point state, resulting in an inability to fold. When the solar panel 20 is folded, the pull wire 51 of the drive mechanism drives the front side panel 11 to move backward. The tension of the pull wire 51 overcomes the tension of the tension spring 35 of the elastic support mechanism 30, forcing the left support arm assembly 31 and the right support arm assembly 32 to fold synchronously and return to the accommodating space 13 of the bracket 10. In order to make the connection method of the tension spring 35 and the rope 36 clearer, the tension spring 35 and the rope 36 are placed outside the first arm and the second arm for display, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 5 As shown (the left and right support arm assemblies have the same structure, and the left support arm assembly is used as an example).
[0043] The first arm 33 and the second arm 34 are provided with mounting seats 38 at their outward ends, and the front side plate 11 and the rear side plate 12 are provided with rail grooves 15 for their transverse sliding corresponding to the mounting seats 38, and the mounting seats 38 are embedded in the rail grooves 15; the first arm 33 and the second arm 34 are rotatably connected to the corresponding mounting seats 38, so as to be retracted into the bracket 10 when folded. The left support arm assembly 31 and the right support arm assembly 32 can be transversely adjusted and installed between the inner walls of the front side plate 11 and the rear side plate 12 through the cooperation of the mounting seats 38 and the rail grooves 15.
[0044] There are two support rods 40 , and the two support rods 40 are correspondingly installed at two ends of the front side plate 11 . The two ends of the front side plate 11 are respectively installed with connecting components 14 for connecting the support rod 40, and the connecting component 14 includes a connecting seat 141 and a connecting head 142 movably installed on the connecting seat 141. The interior of the connecting seat 141 is hollow to form a accommodating cavity 143, and the accommodating cavity 143 is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and a longitudinal opening 144 connected to the accommodating cavity 143 is provided on the side wall of the connecting seat 141; the connecting head 142 includes a pivot shaft 1421 and a connecting plate 1422 integrally connected to the end of the pivot shaft 1421, the pivot shaft 1421 is rotatably located in the accommodating cavity 143, and a limit block 1423 is provided at the lower end of the pivot shaft 1421 to prevent the pivot shaft 1421 from escaping from the accommodating cavity 143; the upper end of the support rod 40 is hinged to the connecting plate 1422, and the support rod 40 is retractable. When the support rod 40 is in use, the pivot shaft 1421 is first pulled outward from the accommodating cavity 143 until the connecting plate 1422 is disengaged from the longitudinal opening 144, at which time the limit block 1423 is stuck on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 143; then the pivot shaft 1421 is rotated to make the connecting plate 1422 deviate from the longitudinal opening 144 until the support rod 40 is perpendicular to the front side plate 11; then the telescopic part of the support rod 40 is pulled out to form support for the solar panel 20.
[0045] The usage method and principle of the solar awning are as follows: the awning is mainly used in the RV field. When in use, the rear side panel 12 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the RV, and the side wall of the RV and the unfolded solar panel 20 are used to form a camping space that shields the sun; at the same time, the solar panel 20 can absorb sunlight and convert it into electrical energy for lighting, charging and other electrical operations. When unfolding the awning, the driving handle 58 is rotated, and the driving rod on the worm gear drives the reel to rotate. The reel and the matching parts are driven by the internal and external threads to move the reel laterally relative to the driving rod, and the pull wire 51 wound on the winding groove 522 of the sleeve 54 is gradually released under the driving of the stretching elastic force of the elastic support mechanism 30 (the tension spring 35 drives the first arm 33 to rotate and unfold relative to the second arm 34, and is limited by the tension of the pull wire 51 and can only be unfolded synchronously with the release of the wire); at the same time, the folded solar panel 20 is also gradually unfolded under the stretching elastic force of the elastic support mechanism 30. When the front side panel 11 and the rear side panel 12 are separated from each other, the two support rods 40 are first rotated out of the bracket 10 to form a supporting state for the solar panel 20, and the driving handle 58 is continued to be rotated. When the solar panel 20 is fully unfolded, the driving handle 58 is stopped, and the awning is completed.
[0046] When the awning is folded, the driving handle 58 is rotated in the opposite direction to rotate the reel 52 and drive the sleeve 54 to wind the wire. The fitting 53 is threadedly matched with the reel 52, so that the sleeve 54 rotates and moves laterally with the reel 52, and the pull wire 51 is evenly wound on the sleeve 54 (space is reserved at both ends of the bracket 10 for the reel 52 to move laterally, and the left and right lateral movement distance range of the reel 52 is the same as the winding distribution distance range of the pull wire 51 on the sleeve); the pulling force of the pull wire 51 overcomes the elasticity of the elastic support mechanism 30. The elastic support mechanism 30 is gradually folded as the pull wire 51 is pulled, and the solar panel 20 is also folded accordingly, until the elastic support mechanism 30 and the solar panel 20 are both stored in the bracket 10, and then the telescopic parts of the two support rods 40 are retracted and rotated to be parallel to the bracket 10, and the support rods 40 are rotated to make the connecting plate 1422 retract to the longitudinal opening 144, and the support rods 40 are stored in the bracket 10. At this point, the awning is folded, and the folded awning can be hung and fixed on the side wall of the RV.
[0047] It should be noted that the awning is not limited to use on RVs, but can be applied to any object or building that can carry a rear side panel and has a certain height.
[0048] A method for using the foldable solar awning comprises the following steps:
[0049] S1. When unfolding the awning, the driving handle is turned to rotate the reel, and the reel moves laterally while rotating, and the pull line wound on the sleeve is gradually unwound under the elastic force extension drive of the elastic support mechanism. At the same time, the folded solar panel is also gradually unfolded under the elastic force extension drive of the elastic support mechanism;
[0050] S2, rotating the two support rods out of the bracket to form a supporting state for the solar panel;
[0051] S3. When the solar panel is fully unfolded, stop turning the driving handle and the awning is completed;
[0052] S4. When folding the awning, the driving handle is rotated in the opposite direction to rotate the reel to drive the casing to wind the cable. The reel moves laterally while rotating, and the casing moves laterally accordingly, and the cable is evenly wound on the casing;
[0053] S5. The elastic support mechanism is gradually folded as the pull wire is wound, and the solar panel is also folded until the elastic support mechanism and the solar panel are both stored in the bracket, and then the telescopic parts of the two support rods are retracted and rotated to be parallel to the bracket and stored in the bracket.
[0054] The design focus of the utility model is that a foldable solar awning is formed by combining a bracket, a foldable solar panel, an elastic support mechanism, a support rod and a driving mechanism. The awning can be folded and extended flexibly and quickly, and is quick and convenient to use, providing convenient conditions for users to camp. In addition, the driving mechanism of the awning can make the pull wires evenly arranged when winding, avoiding the wire jam phenomenon and improving the smoothness of the folding of the awning; at the same time, the elastic support mechanism and the support rod can be folded and hidden in the bracket, so that the product is compact in size when folded, which is easy to carry and transport.
[0055] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, any slight modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
