However, when traveling outdoors by car, if the location is remote, a charging pack is not carried, or an unexpected situation arises, insufficient battery power for mobile phones, computers, etc., may cause panic and even endanger lives. Therefore, there is a need to provide a new energy charging method in existing automotive products or devices without consuming the vehicle's own energy. Adding solar charging functionality to the existing interior panel of the car would undoubtedly meet this need, but currently, there are no automotive interior panel panels with solar charging capabilities on the market.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0020] like Figure 1This utility model provides an automotive interior substrate with solar charging function, comprising an automotive interior substrate body 1, a solar panel 2, a solar panel control box 3, and corresponding wiring 4. The automotive interior substrate body 1 has a cavity A for placing the solar panel 2 and a cavity B for placing the solar panel control box 3; the solar panel 2 is embedded in cavity A of the automotive interior substrate body 1. Without interference, the control box can be placed at any position on the automotive interior substrate body, preferably embedded at the edge of the automotive interior substrate. The solar panel 2, control box 3, and corresponding wiring 4 are embedded in the interior substrate body 1; without interference, the solar panel 2, control box 3, and corresponding wiring 4 can protrude after being embedded, but preferably there is no protrusion.
[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, the wiring port of the solar panel can be connected to the control box 3 from any position without interference. The connection methods between the solar panel 2 and the control box 3 include, but are not limited to, the following: the control box 3 is connected to the back of the solar panel 2, the control box 3 is connected to the surface of the solar panel 2, the control box 3 is connected to the edge of the solar panel 2, and the control box 3 is externally connected to the solar panel 2.
[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, in the automotive interior panel substrate with solar charging function provided by this utility model, the control box 3 has an opening at the wiring position. Preferably, the control box 3 has an opening on the back.
[0023] The automotive interior substrate body 1, solar panel 2, and solar panel control box 3 can be connected and fixed using known connection methods such as clips and screws, with hot melt adhesive being preferred. In any of the above-mentioned automotive interior substrates with solar charging function, the solar panel is a flexible panel or a solar cell. An automotive interior substrate refers to any plate-like structure inside a vehicle that can provide mounting space for a solar panel. The methods of combining a solar panel with an automotive interior substrate include, but are not limited to, the following: a single flexible panel combined with the interior substrate, or multiple flexible panels combined with the interior substrate. The purpose of combining multiple flexible substrates is to increase the usable area of the solar panel.
[0024] In conventional flexible solar panels, the lead-in interface is on the surface, which needs to be removed to prevent interference caused by the protruding solar panel. In this invention, the wiring interface of the solar panel 2 is preferably led from the back and connected to the control box 3, such as... Figure 3 As shown.
[0025] Conventional control boxes have a slot at the bottom, but the control box 3 in this invention preferably has a slot at the back, such as... Figure 3As shown. If needed, we can add a battery module to the control box, integrating charging and discharging. On sunny days, the solar panel stores energy in the control box, and at night or on cloudy days, the control box can also be used for emergency purposes. A display screen can also be installed on the surface of the control box to display power information, such as the solar panel input power, the control box output power, or the current battery level.
[0026] There are various types of solar panels: conventional solar panels, portable solar panels, flexible solar panels, and custom-made solar panels. However, the first two types are relatively thick. Since automotive body panels typically have limited thickness, this invention, in order to composite solar panels within a thinner space, preferably uses flexible panels. Furthermore, the thinner panels are not limited to flexible panels; they can also be custom-made panels or simply solar cell sheets.
[0027] Automotive interior substrates refer to all plate-shaped materials that can be combined with solar panels inside a car. Depending on the location of the solar panels in the car, the size of the solar panels that can be combined varies, resulting in variations in the specifications of the solar panels and control boxes, with sizes and power outputs that can be large or small.
[0028] Example 1 provides a car interior panel substrate with solar charging function. The substrate body is selected from the loading floor of a car trunk, with dimensions of 1100*1000*20mm, containing a cavity, and is processed using conventional pressing technology. The composite solar panel 2 is a thin, flexible panel with dimensions of 960mm*660mm and a thickness of 3mm. This flexible solar panel has a maximum power of 150W, an operating voltage of 18-22V, a maximum current of 8A, and a temperature range of -30 to 80℃. The solar control box 3 embedded in the substrate body 1 is a self-made solar control box with dimensions of 79mm*45mm and a thickness of 14mm. Its input power is 100W-240W, the input voltage is 18-30V, the maximum input current is 8A, and the operating temperature range is -40 to 85℃.
