Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the fields of road engineering and energy collection technology, and in particular to a pavement plate structure based on photovoltaic and friction nanocomposite power generation. Background Art

[0002] To address the increasingly severe global energy shortage and climate change, accelerating the development and utilization of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power is crucial for protecting the ecological environment, addressing climate change, improving the energy structure, and achieving sustainable economic and social development. However, traditional energy harvesting facilities require significant land resources and long-distance deployment results in significant losses, constraining their development.

[0003] Making full use of my country's abundant road resources to carry out road energy collection and utilization will significantly improve the above problems. Making full use of solar energy resources in the road field can not only solve the shortcomings of traditional roads that occupy a large area and have a single function, but also provide power support for road ancillary facilities (such as street lights, traffic lights and speed radars, etc.), electric vehicle charging facilities, road intelligent sensing equipment, smart traffic control equipment, etc., to meet the construction goals of intelligent and green roads.

[0004] However, vehicle shadows and rainy weather can prevent traditional photovoltaic pavements from achieving their expected power generation performance. Harvesting the vibration energy generated by moving vehicles could further enhance the pavement's energy capture capabilities. Numerous studies have demonstrated the significant advantages of triboelectric nanopower generation technology in harvesting low-frequency, irregular vibration energy. Therefore, it is particularly important to consider designing a pavement plate structure based on a hybrid photovoltaic and triboelectric nanopower generation approach to improve pavement energy harvesting efficiency.

The structural layers are tightly bonded into a whole by bonding, anchoring or bolting, and are directly laid on the surface of a traditional pavement structure or a load-bearing base layer.

[0007] Optionally, the pavement plate structure based on photovoltaic and friction nanocomposite power generation is preferably a rectangular parallelepiped structure, the thickness of which should be controlled within 30 to 100 mm, and the plane size should be controlled within 0.01 to 16 m.2 .

[0009] Optionally, the anti-slip and light-transmitting surface layer can be made of any one of polymethyl methacrylate, polycarbonate, light-transmitting resin, and tempered glass, and a concave or convex dot-shaped or strip-shaped anti-slip texture is formed on its upper surface through an etching process.

[0010] Optionally, the photovoltaic power generation layer adopts any one of monocrystalline silicon cells, polycrystalline silicon cells, and thin film cells, and uses waterproof materials to fully fill the gaps around the photovoltaic cells, and is connected to the electrical base layer via cables. At the same time, it should be tightly connected with the anti-slip and light-transmitting surface layer above it and the honeycomb friction nano-power generation layer below it using adhesive materials.

[0011] Optionally, the electrical base layer is made of a polymer plate, which is made of one or more of rubber, fiber or plastic. Slots are cut on it and corresponding cables are laid. The cables should have reserved interfaces on the outside of the plate to ensure electrical connection between multiple plate structures, and should be tightly bonded to the underlying traditional pavement structure surface or load-bearing base using adhesive materials, rivets or bolts.

[0012] Optionally, the honeycomb friction nano-power generation layer includes a friction electrode layer, a honeycomb structure layer and conductive elastic balls. The overall structure should be fully sealed and tightly connected to the photovoltaic power generation layer above it and the electrical base layer below it via adhesive materials.

[0013] Optionally, the friction electrode layer can be made of copper or aluminum sheets and connected to the electrical base layer through cables. The inner surface of the friction electrode layer should be polished with sandpaper or pasted with conductive tape or nylon material to give it sufficient roughness, and the two friction electrode layers are combined with the honeycomb structure layer to form a closed cavity.

These two energy collection methods complement each other, ensuring stable and efficient energy collection within the pavement structure.
