Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of power supply, in particular to an all-weather power supply device and a guardrail collision monitor. Background Art

[0002] At present, the China Patent Network discloses a guardrail collision monitor [Authorization Announcement No.: CN218263635U], which includes a monitor housing, a battery arranged in the monitor housing, and a main circuit board. The main circuit board has a collision detection sensor and a signal sending module. The battery is electrically connected to the main circuit board. A solar panel is fixed on the front side of the monitor housing, and the solar panel is electrically connected to the battery. Specifically, a groove one is provided on the front side of the monitor housing, a through hole is provided on the bottom surface of the groove one, the solar panel is embedded in the groove one, and the solar panel and the battery are connected by wires, and the wires are provided through the through hole.

[0003] The above-mentioned guardrail collision monitor has the following defects: First, due to the small size of the solar panel, for the convenience of installation, the back of the solar panel is bonded to the bottom of the groove one with glue. Since the guardrail collision monitor is installed on a highway guardrail or a city road guardrail, the glue is easy to fall off after being exposed to wind and sun for a long time, resulting in a gap between the back of the solar panel and the bottom of the groove one, which in turn allows rainwater to enter the monitor housing through the through hole and damage the monitor; secondly, due to the small size of the solar panel and the small battery capacity in the monitor, in order to save power, the guardrail collision monitor is in standby mode when there is no collision with the guardrail. The guardrail collision monitor will only enter the working state after a collision with the guardrail, which makes it impossible for the background to know the number of monitoring points and the specific location of each monitoring point. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the above-mentioned problems in the existing technology and propose an all-weather power supply device and a guardrail collision monitor. The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: how to solve the problem that the outer shell is easily damaged by water.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] An all-weather power supply device includes a shell, a solar panel, a battery and a control circuit board all arranged in the shell, the shell includes a casing and a back cover, the casing is sealed with the back cover, and is characterized in that a light-transmitting wall is provided in the shell, the light-transmitting wall is transparent, the solar panel is arranged in the shell and parallel to the light-transmitting wall, the solar panel is close to the light-transmitting wall or is in contact with the light-transmitting wall, and the solar panel and the battery are both electrically connected to the control circuit board.

[0007] This structure incorporates a solar panel within a housing, and the light-transmitting wall of the housing is configured to be transparent, thereby facilitating sunlight to pass through the light-transmitting wall and illuminate the solar panel. The solar panel is arranged parallel to the light-transmitting wall and is close to or in contact with the light-transmitting wall, allowing the solar panel to absorb sufficient light, ensuring that the battery is fully charged and has sufficient power. After the solar panel is incorporated into this structure, the solar panel, control circuit board, and battery are all disposed within the housing, i.e., the wiring between the solar panel and the control circuit board is also within the housing, eliminating the need for a through-hole in the housing. This significantly improves the sealing performance of the housing, preventing rainwater from entering the housing, making the device less susceptible to damage. This all-weather power supply device can power a variety of outdoor devices.

[0008] In the above-mentioned all-weather power supply device, the housing is made of a transparent material and can be injection-molded with transparent plastic, so that sunlight can directly shine on the solar panel through the housing.

[0009] In the aforementioned all-weather power supply device, the inner side surface of the rear cover has a sealing protrusion, and the inner side surface of the rear cover has a mounting groove formed near the sealing protrusion, the mounting groove being arranged around the sealing protrusion, the rear end of the housing having a mounting opening, a sealing ring embedded in the mounting groove, the sealing protrusion embedded in the rear end of the housing, the inner edge of the mounting opening abutting against the sealing ring, and the rear cover and the housing being connected by bolts. During assembly, the sealing protrusion is inserted into the rear end of the housing through the mounting opening, the rear cover is pressed against the housing, the inner edge of the mounting opening abutting against the sealing ring, causing the sealing ring to deform to a certain extent, thereby causing the sealing ring to seal the gap between the sealing protrusion and the inner wall of the housing, making it difficult for rainwater to enter the housing through the connection between the rear cover and the housing. At the same time, the outer wall of the sealing protrusion is also in contact with the inner wall of the housing, also achieving a certain degree of sealing effect.

[0010] In the aforementioned all-weather power supply device, the rear end of the housing has a connecting flange disposed around the mounting opening. The connecting flange is provided with a plurality of connecting holes. The rear cover has a plurality of mounting holes disposed near the outer edge thereof, each corresponding to the mounting holes. Bolts pass through the connecting holes and the corresponding mounting holes, and the ends of the bolts are threadedly secured with locking nuts. The connecting flange is fitted against the rear cover, and the bolts secure the connecting flange to the rear cover, ensuring a tight fit between the rear cover and the connecting flange and providing a certain degree of waterproof sealing. The rear cover is pressed against the housing, pressing the inner edge of the mounting opening against the sealing ring, further enhancing the sealing effect.

[0011] In the above-mentioned all-weather power supply device, a positioning frame is provided in the shell, one end of the positioning frame rests on the solar panel, the other end of the positioning frame rests on the sealing protrusion, and the control circuit board is fixed on the positioning frame.

[0012] In the aforementioned all-weather power supply device, the housing and back cover are both made of PC material. PC-based housings and back covers are less susceptible to deformation during the manufacturing process, resulting in smooth and flat surfaces. After assembly, the housing and back cover have a good fit where they abut each other, thereby enhancing the sealing effect. Furthermore, the components have high structural strength and are resistant to deformation during assembly with bolts or other fasteners, ensuring a good sealing effect.

[0013] A guardrail collision monitor includes an all-weather power supply. This structure allows for a larger housing, which in turn allows for a larger solar panel installed within the housing. This allows for a larger battery to be installed within the housing. The solar panel can fully charge the battery, which in turn provides ample power to the guardrail collision monitor, allowing the monitor to operate online in real time.

[0014] Compared with the existing technology, the all-weather power supply device and guardrail collision monitor of the present invention have the following advantages: after the solar panel is built into this structure, the solar panel, control circuit board and battery are all arranged in the shell, that is, the wiring between the solar panel and the control circuit board is also in the shell, and there is no need to open a through hole in the shell, thereby significantly improving the sealing performance of the shell, and external rainwater will not enter the inside of the shell, making the device not easily damaged. This all-weather power supply device can power various outdoor equipment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this all-weather power supply device includes a housing 1, a solar panel 2, a battery 3, and a control circuit board 4, all of which are disposed within the housing 1. The housing 1 includes a shell 5 and a back cover 6, which are sealed together. The shell 5 has a transparent light-transmitting wall 50 within the shell 5. The light-transmitting wall 50 is transparent. In this embodiment, the shell 5 is made of a transparent material. The solar panel 2 is disposed within the shell 5 and parallel to the light-transmitting wall 50. The solar panel 2 is adjacent to or abuts the light-transmitting wall 50. The solar panel 2 and the battery 3 are both electrically connected to the control circuit board 4. This structure embeds the solar panel 2 within the housing 1 and configures the light-transmitting wall 50 of the shell 5 to be transparent, thereby facilitating sunlight to pass through the light-transmitting wall 50 and illuminate the solar panel 2. The solar panel 2 is disposed parallel to the light-transmitting wall 50 and adjacent to or abuts the light-transmitting wall 50, allowing the solar panel 2 to absorb sufficient light, ensuring that the battery 3 is fully charged and has sufficient power. After the solar panel 2 is built into this structure, the solar panel 2, the control circuit board 4 and the battery 3 are all arranged in the shell 5, that is, the wiring between the solar panel 2 and the control circuit board 4 is also in the shell 5, and there is no need to open a through hole in the shell 5, thereby significantly improving the sealing performance of the shell 1. Rainwater from the outside will not enter the inside of the shell 1, making the device less likely to be damaged. This all-weather power supply device can power various outdoor equipment. Specifically, a through hole can be opened on the back cover 6, and then the power cord can be passed through the through hole to connect with the control circuit board, and a sealing sleeve or other sealing structure is provided at the through hole.

[0023] like Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the inner side of the rear cover 6 has a sealing protrusion 60, and the inner side of the rear cover 6 has a mounting groove 61 near the sealing protrusion 60. The mounting groove 61 is arranged around the sealing protrusion 60. The rear end of the housing 5 has a mounting opening 54, and a sealing ring 7 is embedded in the mounting groove 61. The sealing protrusion 60 is embedded in the rear end of the housing 5, and the inner edge 51 of the mounting opening 54 abuts against the sealing ring 7. The rear cover 6 and the housing 5 are connected by bolts 8. During assembly, the sealing protrusion 60 is inserted into the rear end of the housing 5 through the mounting opening 54, and the rear cover 6 is pressed against the housing 5. The inner edge 51 of the mounting opening 54 abuts against the sealing ring 7, causing a certain degree of deformation of the sealing ring 7, thereby allowing the sealing ring 7 to seal the gap between the sealing protrusion 60 and the inner wall of the housing 5, making it difficult for rainwater to enter the housing 1 through the connection between the rear cover 6 and the housing 5. At the same time, the outer wall of the sealing protrusion 60 also abuts against the inner wall of the housing 5, also achieving a certain degree of sealing effect.

[0024] Furthermore, the rear end of the housing 5 has a connecting flange 52 disposed around the mounting opening 54. Several connecting holes 53 are defined in the connecting flange 52. Several mounting holes 62 are defined near the outer edge of the rear cover 6. These connecting holes 53 correspond one to one with the mounting holes 62. Bolts 8 pass through the connecting holes 53 and the corresponding mounting holes 62. The ends of the bolts 8 are threadedly secured with lock nuts 9. The connecting flange 52 fits snugly against the rear cover 6, which is then secured to the rear cover 6 by bolts 8. This ensures a tight fit between the rear cover 6 and the connecting flange 52, providing a certain degree of waterproof sealing. Simultaneously, the rear cover 6 is pressed tightly against the housing 5, causing the inner edge 51 of the mounting opening 54 to press against the sealing ring 7, further enhancing the sealing effect.

[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a positioning frame 10 is disposed within the housing 5. One end of the positioning frame 10 rests against the solar panel 2, and the other end of the positioning frame 10 rests against the sealing protrusion 60. The control circuit board 4 is fixed to the positioning frame 10. The housing 5 and the back cover 6 are both made of PC material. The housing 5 and back cover 6 made of PC material are less susceptible to deformation during the manufacturing process, and the surfaces of the components are flat and smooth. After the housing 5 and back cover 6 are assembled, the parts that abut each other have a good fit, thereby improving the sealing effect. In addition, the components have high structural strength and will not deform during assembly with bolts 8 or other fasteners, ensuring a good sealing effect.
