[0020] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0021] This utility model embodiment provides a green and energy-saving bus shelter, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, the green and energy-saving bus shelter includes: a bus shelter frame 1, on which a baffle 2 and a top plate are fixedly installed; seats 16, which are arranged inside the bus shelter frame 1; planting troughs 3, which are arranged on the inner wall of the bus shelter frame 1 for planting green plants; information boxes 4, which are arranged on the inner wall of the bus shelter frame 1 for placing bus route maps; multiple photovoltaic power generation panels 5, which are all fixedly installed on the top of the top plate; lighting 6, which are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the top of the bus shelter frame 1; a bus stop sign 7, which is fixedly installed on the bus shelter frame 1; and a cleaning mechanism for cleaning the top plate and the photovoltaic power generation panels 5, which is arranged on the bus shelter frame 1.

[0022] It should be noted that traditional bus shelters, as an important component of the urban public transportation system, were originally designed to provide passengers with a sheltered waiting space where they could access information. However, with the development of the times and the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the limitations of these shelters in their design have gradually become apparent. First, in terms of energy consumption and environmental protection, key facilities such as lighting equipment and information displays in traditional bus shelters operate almost around the clock and are entirely dependent on the municipal power grid. This continuous power consumption not only increases operating costs but also exacerbates the load pressure on the urban power grid. Second, the power supply problem of traditional bus shelters is even more prominent in remote areas or areas with weak power grid coverage. Because these areas often lack stable power grid infrastructure or have limited grid capacity, the power supply to bus shelters is extremely unstable. In the event of severe weather or power grid failure, bus shelters may even experience a complete power outage, unable to provide passengers with basic lighting and information display services. This not only seriously affects the normal use of bus shelters but also brings many inconveniences and safety hazards to passengers. Therefore, in response to the above-mentioned problems of traditional bus shelters, developing a green and energy-saving bus shelter with independent power supply capabilities is particularly important.

[0023] In this embodiment, the bus shelter frame 1 serves as the supporting structure for the entire bus shelter. The frame 1 is not only stable and reliable but also provides a foundation for the installation of subsequent components. Its design must consider structural strength and durability to ensure safe use of the bus shelter in various environments. The baffle 2 and roof, fixed to the frame 1, together form the roof and side enclosure structure of the bus shelter, effectively shielding passengers from wind and rain and providing a comfortable waiting environment. The roof design must also consider drainage to prevent water accumulation. Seats 16, installed within the frame 1, provide a resting place for passengers, enhancing the practicality of the bus shelter. The seat design should consider ergonomics to ensure passenger comfort during long waits. The planting trough 3 is an important embodiment of the green and energy-saving concept. Planting troughs on the inner wall of the frame 1 not only beautify the environment but also purify the air through photosynthesis, improving the ecological benefits of the bus shelter. The information box 4 is used to store information such as bus route maps, facilitating passenger access to travel information. Its design should facilitate passenger access and return of information while maintaining its updateability and accuracy; multiple photovoltaic panels 5 are one of the core components of the green and energy-saving bus shelter. Multiple photovoltaic panels 5 are fixedly installed on the top of the roof, effectively utilizing solar energy and converting it into electricity to provide independent power for key facilities such as lighting and information displays. This design not only reduces operating costs but also significantly reduces reliance on the traditional power grid, enhancing the applicability of the bus shelter in remote areas or areas with unstable power grids; lighting 6 is fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the bus shelter frame 1, using electricity generated by the photovoltaic panels for illumination, providing passengers with a clear visual environment at night or in low-light conditions. The design of the lighting should consider energy efficiency and light uniformity to ensure passenger comfort and safety; the bus stop sign 7 displays bus routes and arrival information, serving as an important means for passengers to obtain travel information. Its design should be clear and easy to read, and equipped with nighttime lighting to ensure that passengers can accurately obtain the information they need at any time. For the cleaning needs of the roof and photovoltaic panels 5, the designed cleaning mechanism can automatically or manually remove accumulated dust and debris, maintaining the cleanliness and high-efficiency power generation capacity of the photovoltaic panels. This helps extend the lifespan of the photovoltaic panels and improve power generation efficiency.

[0024] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the cleaning mechanism includes: a mounting plate 8 symmetrically fixedly installed on the bus shelter frame 1; a screw 9 rotatably installed on the mounting plate 8; an assembly frame 10 threaded onto the screw 9; a guide rod 11 fixed on the mounting plate 8, the guide rod 11 passing through the assembly frame 10; a motor 12 fixed on the mounting plate 8, the output shaft of the motor 12 being fixedly connected to one end of the screw 9 via a coupling; a first cleaning brush 13 assembled on the assembly frame 10, the first cleaning brush 13 being used to clean the top plate; and a second cleaning brush 14 fixed to the top of the first cleaning brush 13, the second cleaning brush 14 being used to clean the photovoltaic power generation panel 5.

[0025] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 8, symmetrically fixed on the bus shelter frame 1, serves as the fixed foundation for the cleaning mechanism, providing a stable support platform. Its symmetrical design helps maintain the balance of the cleaning mechanism during operation, reducing vibration and noise. The screw 9, rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 8, is the core component for power transmission of the cleaning mechanism. When the motor 12 starts, its output shaft drives the screw 9 to rotate via a coupling, converting rotational motion into linear motion, driving the assembly frame 10 and its cleaning brushes to move. The assembly frame 10, threaded onto the screw 9, serves as the mounting carrier for the cleaning brushes. Through the threaded connection, the assembly frame 10 can move up and down along the axial direction of the screw 9, thereby driving the cleaning brushes to clean the top plate and photovoltaic panels 5. This design makes the cleaning process smoother and more controllable. The guide rod 11, fixed on the mounting plate 8, passes through the assembly frame 10, serving as a guide and limiting element. It ensures that the assembly frame 10 can only move along the axial direction of the guide rod 11 under the drive of the screw 9, preventing the assembly frame 10 from shifting or tilting during rotation, thus ensuring the accuracy and stability of cleaning. The motor 12, fixed on the mounting plate 8, is the power source of the cleaning mechanism. Its output shaft is fixedly connected to one end of the screw 9 through a coupling, realizing the transmission of power. The start and stop of the motor 12 can be remotely controlled through the control panel, which is simple and quick to operate. The first cleaning brush 13, mounted on the assembly frame 10, is specifically used for cleaning the top plate. Its material should be wear-resistant, soft, and not prone to shedding, to ensure the cleaning effect while protecting the surface of the top plate from damage. The first cleaning brush 13 moves with the up and down movement of the assembly frame 10, and can thoroughly and effectively remove the accumulated dust and debris on the top plate. The second cleaning brush 14, fixed on top of the first cleaning brush 13, is specifically used for cleaning the photovoltaic power generation panel 5. Since the cleanliness of the photovoltaic panel 5 directly affects the power generation efficiency, the design of the second cleaning brush 14 is more refined and efficient. Its material and shape need to be customized according to the surface characteristics of the photovoltaic panel 5 to ensure thorough cleaning without damaging its surface coating. The second cleaning brush 14 moves synchronously with the first cleaning brush 13 and the mounting frame 10, achieving comprehensive cleaning of the photovoltaic panel 5.

[0026] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, an electrical control box 15 is provided on the bus shelter frame 1, and the electrical control box 15 is provided with a charging controller, a storage battery and an inverter adapted to the photovoltaic power generation panel 5.

[0027] In this embodiment, the electrical control box 15 serves as the core control unit of the entire energy management system. The electrical control box 15 is cleverly positioned on the bus shelter frame 1, facilitating maintenance while maintaining overall aesthetics. It integrates multiple key components that work together to achieve efficient energy conversion, storage, and management. The charging controller is compatible with the photovoltaic panel 5 and is responsible for monitoring and managing the electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic panel 5. When there is sufficient sunlight, the charging controller automatically adjusts the current and voltage, safely and efficiently charging excess electrical energy into the battery for storage. Simultaneously, it prevents overcharging and over-discharging of the battery, extending its lifespan. The battery is a crucial energy storage device for green and energy-saving bus shelters. Through the management of the charging controller, the battery can store the electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic panel 5 during the day and provide stable power support for key facilities such as lighting and information displays at night or when sunlight is insufficient. This design allows the bus shelter to operate independently of the traditional power grid, improving its applicability in remote areas or regions with unstable power grids. The inverter converts the DC power stored in the battery into AC power to power various AC devices within the bus shelter. Since most electronic devices (such as lighting and information displays) require AC power, the inverter is essential. Through the inverter's conversion function, the green and energy-saving bus shelter can fully utilize the electricity generated by photovoltaic power generation, maximizing energy utilization. In summary, the addition of the electrical control box 15 and its internal components (charge controller, battery, and inverter) constructs a complete energy management system for the green and energy-saving bus shelter. This system not only achieves effective connection and energy conversion between the photovoltaic panels 5 and the battery, but also ensures a stable power supply for various devices within the bus shelter.

[0028] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the information box 4 is provided with an openable and closable door, the door is provided with a hinge and a door lock, and the hinge is fixedly connected to the information box 4.

[0029] In this embodiment, an openable door is provided on the information box 4, which greatly facilitates the replacement and maintenance of information such as bus route maps; the hinge, as a key component connecting the door and the information box 4, must be designed to ensure that the door can open and close smoothly.

[0030] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a soft cushion is provided on the seat 16, and the bottom of the soft cushion and the top of the seat 16 are provided with Velcro that can be adhered to each other.

[0031] In this embodiment, adding a soft cushion to seat 16 significantly improves passenger comfort. The cushion is typically made of soft, breathable material, effectively relieving fatigue in the hips and back during long waits. Simultaneously, the cushion also provides some warmth, offering a more comfortable waiting experience in cold weather. To facilitate easy connection and removal of the cushion from seat 16, Velcro is used as the connector in this embodiment. Velcro is strong and easy to operate; a simple press is all it takes to achieve a tight fit between the cushion and seat 16. This design not only makes cleaning and replacing the cushion easier for passengers and staff but also avoids the inconvenience and damage risks associated with traditional fixing methods.

[0032] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the information box 4 is equipped with an LED light for illumination, and the box door is equipped with transparent glass.

[0033] In this embodiment, LED lights are installed inside the information box 4, primarily to illuminate the interior of the box in low-light environments, making information such as bus route maps more clearly visible. LED lights have advantages such as low energy consumption, long lifespan, high brightness, and low heat generation, making them ideal for applications requiring prolonged illumination and energy efficiency. This design not only enhances the practicality of the information box 4 but also embodies the concept of green energy conservation. A transparent glass panel on the door allows passengers to see the contents of the information box 4 directly without opening the door.

[0034] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the assembly frame 10 is provided with a groove, and a connecting frame is provided in the groove. One end of the connecting frame is fixedly connected to the first cleaning brush 13. The assembly frame 10 is provided with a bolt for limiting the connecting frame, and one end of the bolt is threaded through the connecting frame.

[0035] In this embodiment, the groove on the mounting frame 10 provides installation space for the connecting frame, allowing it to be securely embedded. One end of the connecting frame is fixedly connected to the first cleaning brush 13, while the other end is placed in the groove and connected to the mounting frame 10 using bolts or other fasteners. This design makes the connection between the first cleaning brush 13 and the mounting frame 10 more robust and stable, avoiding loosening or detachment caused by vibration or external forces during cleaning.

[0036] In summary, the green and energy-saving bus shelter provided by this technical solution achieves energy self-sufficiency and environmental beautification and purification by incorporating photovoltaic power generation technology and green vegetation. Simultaneously, its independent power supply capability and applicability in remote areas significantly improve the reliability of the bus shelter and passenger satisfaction. This innovative design not only solves the energy consumption and power supply problems of traditional bus shelters but also promotes the green and intelligent development of public transportation facilities.

[0037] Compared with related technologies, by installing multiple photovoltaic panels 5, solar energy is effectively utilized and converted into electrical energy, providing independent power supply for the lighting and information display of the bus shelter, significantly reducing operating costs and dependence on the traditional power grid; the planting troughs 3 not only beautify the bus shelter environment, but also purify the air through the photosynthesis of green plants, improving ecological benefits; the design of the baffles 2, the roof, and the seats 16 provides passengers with a comfortable waiting environment that is sheltered from wind and rain, while also taking into account drainage and ergonomics, enhancing practicality; the cleaning mechanism drives the screw 9 and the mounting frame 10 through the motor 12, which in turn drives the first cleaning brush 13 and the second cleaning brush 14 to automatically or manually clean the roof and photovoltaic panels 5, maintaining the cleanliness of the bus shelter and the efficiency of photovoltaic power generation, and extending the service life of the equipment.
