[0036] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Example 1: A solar panel support structure for an electric vehicle, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes two connecting bases 1 spaced apart from each other on the left and right sides, and a connecting plate 2 is detachably connected to the connecting base 1.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the connecting base 1 includes a bottom plate 101, a first vertical plate 102 is fixed on the bottom plate 101, and a first screw hole 103 is opened on the first vertical plate 102. In order to improve the shear resistance of the first vertical plate 102, the first vertical plate 102 is an isosceles trapezoidal plate structure with a wide top and a narrow bottom.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the connecting plate 2 includes a second vertical plate 201, the first vertical plate 102 is parallel to the second vertical plate 201, and the second vertical plate 201 is provided with a first slot hole 203 that is transparent to the left and right. The first slot hole 203 is a strip-shaped slot structure extending in the up and down directions; the first vertical plate 102 and the second vertical plate 201 are detachably connected by a first bolt 4 that is passed through the first screw hole 103 and the first slot hole 203.

[0040] A horizontally arranged first transverse plate 202 is fixed on the top of the second vertical plate 201 . A second slotted hole 204 which is transparent from top to bottom is formed on the first transverse plate 202 . The second slotted hole 204 is a strip-shaped slot structure extending in the left-right direction.

[0041] The tops of the left and right connecting plates 2 are provided with crossbeams 3, such as Figure 4 As shown, the crossbeam 3 includes a second cross plate 301 extending in the left-right direction. The second cross plate 301 has two second screw holes 305 spaced apart from each other. When the second cross plate 301 is laid on the left and right first cross plates 202, the second screw holes 305 can correspond to and communicate with the second slotted holes 204.

[0042] The left and right ends of the second transverse plate 301 are fixedly connected to third vertical plates 302 extending downward. A horizontally disposed third transverse plate 303 is fixed to the lower ends of both third vertical plates 302. The third transverse plates 303 are provided with a third slotted hole 304 extending vertically. To increase the range of left-right adjustment of the second transverse plate 301 on the first transverse plate 202, the third slotted hole 304 is a strip-shaped groove extending horizontally. When the third transverse plate 303 is placed on the left and right first transverse plates 202, the third slotted hole 304 aligns vertically with and connects to the second slotted hole 204.

[0043] The cross beam 3 and the first cross plate 202 are detachably connected by second bolts 5 passing through the upper and lower corresponding second screw holes 305 and the second slotted holes 204 or the upper and lower corresponding third slotted holes 304 and the second slotted holes 204 .

[0044] In order to avoid collision damage between the installed solar panel and the cross beam 3 , a buffer plate 6 is provided on the top of the second cross plate 301 .

[0045] In order to be able to freely adjust the position of the buffer plate 6 according to the maximum width of the solar panel, such as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the top of the second transverse plate 301 is slidably connected to two buffer pads 6 spaced apart on the left and right. Specifically, the second transverse plate 301 is provided with two chute grooves 306 spaced apart on the left and right. The chute grooves 306 are a strip-shaped groove structure that is transparent from top to bottom and extends in the left-right direction.

[0046] like Figure 5 As shown, the buffer plate 6 includes a buffer plate body 601, a slide bar 602 extending in the left-right direction fixed to the bottom of the buffer plate body 601, and a vertical section of the slide bar 602 having a T-shaped plate structure. The vertical plate section of the slide bar 602 slides in the slide groove 306, and the left-right length of the slide groove 306 is greater than the left-right length of the buffer plate body 601 and the slide bar 602. The buffer plate body 601 in this embodiment is made of an elastic rubber material.

[0047] In order to limit the front and rear directions of the buffer plate body 601, Figure 4 As shown, baffles 307 extending in the left-right direction are fixed to the tops of the front and rear sides of the second cross plate 301. The buffer plate 6 is located between the two baffles 307 on the front and rear sides, and the top of the baffle 307 is lower than the top of the buffer plate 6. To improve the shear resistance of the baffle 307, the baffle 307 is an isosceles trapezoidal plate structure that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.

[0048] Working principle: This device has two installation forms when in use:

[0049] The first form, such as Figure 1As shown, the second transverse plate 301 is directly attached to the two first transverse plates 201. The second transverse plate 301 and the first transverse plates 201 are detachably connected via second bolts 5 threaded through corresponding second screw holes 305 and second slots 204. In this configuration, the height of the crossbeam 3 is relatively low, and fine-tuning of the crossbeam 3 is achieved via the first slots 203 on the second vertical plates 201. Fine-tuning of the left and right positions of the two connecting plates 2 and the connecting base 1 is achieved via the second slots 204 on the first transverse plate 202.

[0050] At this time, since the third transverse plate 303 is suspended in the air, when parking, a curtain-like shielding material can be installed through the third slot hole 304 on the third transverse plate 303 to protect the vehicle from direct sunlight.

[0051] In the second configuration, the third crossbar 303 of the crossbar 3 is placed on the left and right first crossbars 202, and removably connected using second bolts 5 inserted through the corresponding third slots 304 and second slots 204. In this configuration, the crossbar 3 is higher, allowing for a wider range of fine-tuning of the left and right positions of the two connecting plates 2 and the connecting base 1 through the third slots 304 and second slots 204. Fine-tuning of the height of the crossbar 3 is performed through the first slots 203 on the second vertical plate 201.

[0052] When installing the solar panel, the bottom of the solar panel is connected to the second transverse plate 301 by bolts. The bolts pass through the slide groove 306 on the second transverse plate 301, and the bottom of the solar panel is pressed on the top of the buffer plate body 601.

[0053] Example 2: A solar panel support structure for an electric vehicle. This example differs from Example 1 in that the connecting plate 2 is a T-shaped plate structure. Other structures are the same as those in Example 1.

[0054] Example 3: A solar panel support structure for an electric vehicle. This example differs from Example 1 in that the third vertical plate 302 and the third horizontal plate 303 are T-shaped. Other structures are the same as those in Example 1.

[0055] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is determined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. It is intended that all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims be encompassed within the present invention. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.
