Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of rearview mirrors, and particularly relates to a spherical rearview mirror for extending illumination. Background Art

[0002] Sunlight is an essential part of our life. Its functions are extremely extensive. Whether it is organisms or plants, they all rely on the nourishment of sunlight. Among them, the most important function for plants is that it is the main energy source for plant photosynthesis. For humans, with the progress of human technology, the utilization of the sun is increasing. As a new energy source, sunlight plays a crucial role in the entire earth's ecosystem.

[0003] In the vegetables and crops we eat in our daily life, in order to improve quality and increase production, greenhouses are generally used for planting. And for power generation in daily life, new energy methods such as photovoltaic panels are also used for power generation. Whether it is a greenhouse or a photovoltaic panel, the most dependent energy source is sunlight. However, the daily sunlight irradiation time on the greenhouse or photovoltaic panel is limited, and generally photovoltaic panels are installed on the sunny side, which will cause waste of space in the shaded area. And if photovoltaic panels are installed in the shaded area as well, sunlight cannot reach them, which is also a waste of sunlight energy. In order to further increase the power generation of photovoltaic panels, we need a rearview mirror that can extend the illumination time for the greenhouse or photovoltaic panel. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and provide a spherical rearview mirror for extending illumination, with a simple and reasonable structure, which can extend the illumination for the application scenario.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0006] A spherical reflector for extending illumination, comprising a single mirror body, a hanging rope, and a supporting rope. A number of groups of the single mirror bodies are provided, and each group is composed of a hollow spherical lens. The interior of the lens is coated with a silver paint coating to achieve the purpose of reflecting and refracting sunlight. The top of each lens is a planar positioning surface, and a groove is provided in the middle of the positioning surface. The hanging rope is arranged on the top side of the single mirror body and placed inside the corresponding groove. The supporting rope is arranged on the bottom side of the single mirror body. The hanging rope and the supporting rope can be fixedly arranged in advance, and the distance between the hanging rope and the supporting rope is adapted to the specification size of the single mirror body. Extension grooves are provided at both ends of the groove. The inner groove size of the extension groove is the same as that of the groove. The hanging rope is laid on the inner sides of the groove and the extension groove. A buckle cover is provided at the top of the extension groove near the lens. The inner size of the buckle cover is adapted to the outer size of the extension groove. The buckle cover can be buckled on the top of the extension groove. Fastening bolts are provided at both ends of the buckle cover. The fastening bolts are fixed to the buckle cover and the corresponding extension groove through threads. After the buckle cover is buckled on the extension groove and fixed by the fastening bolts, a closed space with the hanging rope inside is formed, which can effectively prevent the hanging rope from detaching from the groove and achieve the purpose of hanging the single mirror body through the hanging rope. Support components are respectively arranged on both sides of the bottom of the lens. The support components are connected to the supporting rope, and the purpose of the supporting rope to lift the single mirror body is achieved through the connection between the support components and the supporting rope. An appropriate number of single mirror bodies are evenly arranged between the hanging rope and the supporting rope, and then the connection with the hanging rope and the supporting rope is realized through the cooperation of the extension groove, the buckle cover and the support components, thereby forming a combined illuminating mirror. By arranging multiple groups of the combined illuminating mirrors, the reflection and refraction of sunlight in the application scenario are realized. When sunlight cannot directly shine on the top of a photovoltaic panel or a greenhouse, the series combination of this device realizes the increase in the illumination range and duration through refraction and reflection, so that the photovoltaic panel installed in the shaded position can also receive sunlight, thereby increasing the installation range of the photovoltaic panel and the power generation duration, improving the sunlight utilization rate and power generation amount. It can also be applied to the top of the greenhouse to increase the illumination duration of the greenhouse and achieve the effect of increasing the yield of the crops in the greenhouse.

[0007] Further, the lenses can have various specifications and sizes to facilitate adaptation to different application scenarios. The specification diameters of the lenses include 30 cm, 40 cm, and 50 cm.

[0008] Further, the positioning surfaces are all circles with a diameter of 10 cm, and the depth and width of the grooves are both 1 cm.

[0009] Further, the beam support assembly is composed of a fixed support block and a movable support block. The top end of the fixed support block is fixedly connected to the spherical mirror, and a top half-hole is provided at the bottom end. The movable support block is of a U-shaped structure, and the inner size thereof is adapted to the outer shape size of the fixed support block, so that the fixed support block can be inserted into the inner side of the movable support block. A bottom half-hole corresponding to the top half-hole is opened at the inner bottom of the movable support block. The top half-hole and the bottom half-hole are butted to form a circular hole adapted to the diameter of the support rope, and then the support rope can be constrained between the fixed support block and the movable support block to realize the lifting of the spherical mirror by the support rope.

[0010] Further, reserved holes I are provided on both sides of the bottom of the fixed support block, and reserved holes II corresponding to the reserved holes I are opened at the tops of both ends of the movable support block. The beam support assembly further includes a positioning screw, and the positioning screw is threadedly inserted through the reserved hole I and the reserved hole II. When the fixed support block is inserted into the inner side of the movable support block and the reserved hole I and the reserved hole II correspond to each other, the two are fixed by the threaded insertion of the positioning screw, and then the support rope can be locked in the circular hole formed by the top half-hole and the bottom half-hole to realize the fixed lifting of the single lens body.

[0011] Further, the diameter of the support rope is 1 cm, the height of the fixed support block is 3 cm, the thickness is 1 cm, the height of the movable support block is 3 cm, and the thickness is 2 cm.

[0012] Further, a functional port is provided at the bottom end of the spherical mirror. The functional port facilitates the processing of silver powder paint inside the spherical mirror. A screw plug is provided inside the functional port, and the screw plug is connected to the spherical mirror by threads to block the functional port and prevent dust from entering the spherical mirror and affecting the reflection effect.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0014] In the present utility model, an appropriate number of single lens bodies are evenly arranged between the hanging rope and the support rope, and then the fixed connection with the hanging rope and the support rope is realized through the extension groove, the buckle cover and the beam support assembly, thereby forming a combined light-emitting mirror. By arranging multiple groups of the combined light-emitting mirrors, the sunlight reflection and refraction in the application scenario are realized. When the sunlight cannot directly irradiate the top of the photovoltaic panel or the greenhouse, through the series combination of the present device, the range and duration of the light are increased through refraction and reflection, so that the photovoltaic panel installed in the shaded position can also receive light, thereby increasing the installation range of the photovoltaic panel and the power generation duration, improving the sunlight utilization rate and power generation amount. Similarly, it can also be applied to the top of the greenhouse to increase the light in the greenhouse and achieve the effect of increasing the yield of the crops in the greenhouse.

[0022] A spherical reflector for extending light illumination includes a single lens body 1, a hanging rope 2, and a supporting rope 3. A plurality of groups of the single lens bodies 1 are provided, and each of them is composed of a hollow spherical spherical mirror 11.

The inner groove size of the extension groove 14 is the same as the size of the groove 13. The hanging rope 2 is laid on the inner sides of the groove and the extension groove 14. At the top of the position where the extension groove 14 is close to the spherical mirror 11, there is a buckle cover 15. The inner size of the buckle cover 15 is adapted to the outer size of the extension groove 14. The buckle cover 15 can be buckled on the top of the extension groove 14. There are fastening bolts 16 at both ends of the buckle cover 15. The fastening bolts 16 are fixed to the buckle cover 15 and the corresponding extension groove 14 through threads. After the buckle cover 15 is buckled to the extension groove 14 and fixed by the fastening bolts 16, a closed space is formed with the hanging rope 2 inside, which can effectively prevent the hanging rope 2 from detaching from the groove 13 and achieve the purpose of hanging the single lens body 1 through the hanging rope 2.

[0024] On both sides of the bottom of the spherical lens 11, beam support components 4 are respectively arranged. The beam support components 4 are connected to the support ropes 3. Through the connection between the beam support components 4 and the support ropes 3, the purpose of the support ropes 3 lifting the single lens body 1 is achieved. An appropriate number of single lens bodies 1 are evenly arranged between the hanging rope 2 and the support ropes 3. Then, through the extension groove 14, the buckle cover 15 and the beam support components 4, the fixation with the hanging rope 2 and the support ropes 3 is realized, thus forming a combined light-emitting mirror. Then, multiple groups of this combined light-emitting mirror are arranged to realize the reflection and refraction of sunlight in the application scenario. The beam support components 4 are all composed of a fixed support block 41 and a movable support block 42. The top end of the fixed support block 41 is fixedly connected to the spherical lens 11, and a top half-hole 411 is arranged at the bottom end. The movable support block 42 is in a U-shaped structure and the inner size thereof is adapted to the outer shape size of the fixed support block 41, so that the fixed support block 41 can be inserted into the inner side of the movable support block 42. A bottom half-hole 421 corresponding to the top half-hole 411 is opened at the inner bottom of the movable support block 42. The top half-hole 411 and the bottom half-hole 421 are butted to form a circular hole adapted to the diameter of the support rope 3, and then the support rope 3 can be constrained between the fixed support block 41 and the movable support block 42 to realize the lifting of the spherical lens 11 by the support rope 3.

When the fixed support block 41 is inserted into the inner side of the movable support block 42 and the reserved hole I 412 and the reserved hole II 422 correspond to each other, the fixation between the two is realized through the threaded insertion of the positioning screw 43. Then, the support rope 3 can be locked in the circular hole formed by the top half-hole 411 and the bottom half-hole 421 to realize the fixed lifting of the single lens body 1. The diameter of the support rope 3 is 1 cm, the height of the fixed support block 41 is 3 cm, and the thickness is 1 cm. The height of the movable support block 42 is 3 cm, and the thickness is 2 cm

[0025] Fix the positions of the hanging rope 2 and the support ropes 3 in advance. During installation, first fasten the hanging rope 2 through the groove 13 and the extension groove 14, then fasten the buckle cover 15 to the extension groove 14 and fix it.

When sunlight cannot directly shine on the top of the photovoltaic panel or greenhouse, through the series combination of this device, the range and duration of light are increased through refraction and reflection, so that the photovoltaic panel installed in the shady position can also receive sunlight. Thus, the installation range of the photovoltaic panel can be increased and the power generation duration can be increased, improving the sunlight utilization rate and power generation amount. Similarly, it can also be applied to the top of the greenhouse to increase the light in the greenhouse market, achieving the effect of increasing the yield of the crops in the greenhouse
