Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of photovoltaic equipment, and specifically relates to a vehicle-mounted photovoltaic power generation device that fits the vehicle body structure. Background Technology

[0002] Vehicle-mounted photovoltaic (PV) power generation devices are installed on vehicles to generate electricity using solar energy. While current vehicle-mounted PV power generation devices have many application potentials, they also have certain limitations. On the one hand, existing solutions mostly use regular flat-panel PV panels independently mounted on the vehicle roof, whose shape design is completely incompatible with the streamlined contours of the vehicle, significantly increasing wind resistance during vehicle movement. On the other hand, the rooftop PV devices generate high-speed turbulence during movement, producing significant counterforce. This not only leads to increased vehicle energy consumption but also affects high-speed driving stability, posing certain safety hazards. Conventional methods to address wind resistance issues include optimizing the edge contours of the PV devices to make them as rounded as possible. However, this only alleviates the problem to a limited extent and cannot completely eliminate the wind resistance drawbacks of the PV panels. Furthermore, the streamlined design of PV panels is difficult to manufacture and sacrifices some PV area, reducing power generation efficiency. Therefore, a new structure is needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a vehicle-mounted photovoltaic power generation device that fits the vehicle body structure, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a vehicle-mounted photovoltaic power generation device that fits the vehicle body structure, comprising: a vehicle body and a flexible photovoltaic module. The upper surface of the vehicle body is equipped with a flexible photovoltaic module for generating electricity for the vehicle body. The flexible photovoltaic module includes a mounting component for mounting photovoltaic elements. The upper surface of the mounting component is hinged with a photovoltaic element. The photovoltaic element includes a photovoltaic frame for mounting a photovoltaic panel. The mounting component includes a mounting bracket for mounting the photovoltaic frame. The mounting brackets are interconnected by telescopic rods. A sliding plate is mounted on the upper surface of the telescopic rod. An electric push rod is hinged to the upper surface of the sliding plate via a slider. The electric push rod is hinged to the photovoltaic element.

[0005] In a preferred embodiment, the curvature of the lower surface of the mounting bracket matches the curvature of the upper surface of the vehicle body. The two mounting brackets have the same structure. A fixing strip is integrally formed on the lower edge of the outer surface of the mounting bracket, and a threaded hole is provided on the upper surface of the fixing strip.

[0006] According to the instruction manual Figure 1As shown, in actual vehicle operation, the flexible photovoltaic modules are sealed to the front and sides of the roof with arc-shaped sealing strips (the lower surface of the arc-shaped sealing strip is in contact with the roof surface, and the specific fixing structure used to fix them to the front and sides of the roof needs to be selected according to the actual situation, which will not be elaborated here). This makes the photovoltaic modules on the roof form a closed streamlined structure, which can reduce the airflow between the photovoltaic modules and the roof, reduce turbulence interference, and reduce wind resistance.

[0007] The rear end does not need to be sealed. The air flow between the layers is accelerated by the air turbulence at the tail end, thereby speeding up the heat dissipation of the photovoltaic panel. When not in use, the sealing strip can be removed to prevent the flexible photovoltaic module from moving and interfering with the angle adjustment.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the mounting bracket is fixed to the upper surface of the vehicle body by fixing strips, threaded holes, and bolts. The curvature of the upper surface of the mounting bracket matches the curvature of the lower surface of the mounting bracket, and the curvature of the upper surface of the mounting bracket matches the curvature of the lower surface of the photovoltaic frame. In use, because the flexible photovoltaic module matches the curvature of the roof, it can fit the vehicle body well. Compared with some traditional devices that are abruptly installed on the roof, it can reduce air resistance during vehicle operation. When the vehicle is traveling at a high speed, the fitting curvature can reduce energy loss during vehicle operation.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a hinge frame is symmetrically mounted on the front edge of the upper surface of each of the two mounting frames, and a photovoltaic frame is hinged to the upper surface of the mounting frame through the two hinge frames.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, three telescopic rods are evenly installed between the two mounting brackets, and a sliding plate is installed on the upper side of the outer surface of the three telescopic rods. A groove is formed at the center of the upper surface of the sliding plate.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the upper surface of the sliding plate is not flush with the upper surface of the mounting bracket. A slider slides on the upper surface of the sliding plate through a groove damping mechanism. An electric push rod is hinged to the upper surface of the slider. In use, the photovoltaic components on the mounting bracket are connected to the mounting bracket by a hinge, and the connection is achieved by the sliding plate and the electric push rod. This design allows the angle of the photovoltaic panel to be flexibly adjusted according to the position of the sun, increasing the power generation efficiency when the vehicle is parked.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the end of the electric push rod away from the slider is hinged to the lower surface of the photovoltaic frame, and a photovoltaic panel is installed inside the photovoltaic frame.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the photovoltaic panel is electrically connected to the vehicle power supply via wires. The photovoltaic panel is a flexible photovoltaic panel, and the curvature of the photovoltaic panel surface matches the curvature of the photovoltaic frame.

[0014] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting flexible photovoltaic modules, flexible photovoltaic modules for generating electricity for the vehicle body are installed on the upper surface of the vehicle body, and the flexible photovoltaic modules are matched with the curvature of the roof, so that the flexible photovoltaic modules are attached to the upper surface of the vehicle body. When in use, because the flexible photovoltaic modules are matched with the curvature of the roof, they can fit the vehicle body well. Compared with some traditional devices that are abruptly installed on the roof, it can reduce the air resistance of the vehicle during driving. When the vehicle is traveling at a high speed, the curvature of the fit can reduce the energy loss of the vehicle, making the vehicle more energy-efficient. At the same time, reducing wind resistance also helps to improve the driving stability of the vehicle, especially in strong wind weather.

[0015] By setting up an mounting component, the flexible photovoltaic module includes a mounting component for mounting photovoltaic elements. The upper surface of the mounting component is hinged with photovoltaic elements, and the photovoltaic elements include a photovoltaic frame for mounting photovoltaic panels. The upper surface of the mounting component is hinged with photovoltaic elements via a sliding plate and an electric push rod. In use, the photovoltaic elements on the mounting component are connected to the mounting component by hinges and the connection is achieved by the sliding plate and the electric push rod. This design allows the angle of the photovoltaic panel to be flexibly adjusted according to the position of the sun, increasing the power generation efficiency when the vehicle is parked.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a vehicle-mounted photovoltaic power generation device that fits the vehicle body structure, including: a vehicle body 100 and a flexible photovoltaic module 200. The upper surface of the vehicle body 100 is equipped with a flexible photovoltaic module 200 for generating electricity for the vehicle body 100. The flexible photovoltaic module 200 includes a mounting component for mounting photovoltaic components. The upper surface of the mounting component is hinged with photovoltaic components. The photovoltaic components include a photovoltaic frame 270 for mounting photovoltaic panels 280. The mounting component includes a mounting bracket 210 for mounting the photovoltaic frame 270. The mounting brackets 210 are interconnected by telescopic rods 260. A sliding plate 240 is mounted on the upper surface of the telescopic rods 260. An electric push rod 250 is hinged to the upper surface of the sliding plate 240 by a slider 242. The electric push rod 250 is hinged to the photovoltaic components.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As the first embodiment of this utility model: the curvature of the lower surface of the mounting bracket 210 matches the curvature of the upper surface of the vehicle body 100. The two mounting brackets 210 have the same structure. A fixing strip 220 is integrally formed on the lower edge of the outer surface of the mounting bracket 210. A threaded hole is opened on the upper surface of the fixing strip 220.

[0025] Mounting bracket 210 is fixed to the upper surface of vehicle body 100 by fixing strip 220, threaded holes and bolts. The curvature of the upper surface of mounting bracket 210 matches the curvature of the lower surface of mounting bracket 210, and the curvature of the upper surface of mounting bracket 210 matches the curvature of the lower surface of photovoltaic frame 270.

[0026] A hinge frame 230 is symmetrically installed on the front edge of the upper surface of each of the two mounting brackets 210, and a photovoltaic frame 270 is hinged to the upper surface of the mounting bracket 210 through the two hinge frames 230.

[0027] Three telescopic rods 260 are evenly installed between the two mounting brackets 210. A sliding plate 240 is installed on the upper side of the outer surface of the three telescopic rods 260. A groove 241 is opened at the center of the upper surface of the sliding plate 240.

[0028] In use, the user can first adjust the distance between the two mounting brackets 210 according to the actual width of the top of the vehicle body 100. The distance between the two mounting brackets 210 should match the distance between the photovoltaic frame 270 (in actual use, the width of the photovoltaic frame 270 is not fixed and can be selected according to the actual situation). When adjusting the distance between the two mounting brackets 210, it can be adjusted through the telescopic rod 260 between the two mounting brackets 210. The telescopic rod 260 can be a model currently available on the market; its working principle and structure will not be elaborated here. After adjustment, the user can install the two mounting brackets 210 on the vehicle body 100 through the fixing strip 220, threaded holes, and bolts. The upper surface of the vehicle body 100 is then used to install the photovoltaic components. The curvature of the mounting bracket 210 and the photovoltaic components matches the curvature of the upper surface of the vehicle body 100, thus allowing the flexible photovoltaic module 200 to be installed in close contact with the upper surface of the vehicle body 100. Because the flexible photovoltaic module 200 matches the curvature of the roof, it can fit the vehicle body well. Compared with some traditional devices that are abruptly installed on the roof, it can reduce air resistance during vehicle operation. When the vehicle is traveling at a high speed, the fitting curvature can reduce energy loss during vehicle operation, making the vehicle more energy-efficient. At the same time, reducing wind resistance also helps to improve the driving stability of the vehicle, especially in strong winds.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As a second embodiment of the present invention: the upper surface of the slide plate 240 is not flush with the upper surface of the mounting bracket 210, and the upper surface of the slide plate 240 is damped by the slide groove 241 to slide the slider 242, and the upper surface of the slider 242 is hinged to the electric push rod 250.

[0030] The end of the electric push rod 250 away from the slider 242 is hinged to the lower surface of the photovoltaic frame 270, and the photovoltaic frame 270 is equipped with a photovoltaic panel 280.

[0031] The photovoltaic panel 280 is electrically connected to the vehicle power supply via wires. The photovoltaic panel 280 is a flexible photovoltaic panel 280, and the curvature of the surface of the photovoltaic panel 280 matches the curvature of the photovoltaic frame 270.

[0032] In use, when the flexible photovoltaic module 200 is hinged to the upper surface of the mounting frame 210 through the operation steps of the first embodiment, when the user needs to use the flexible photovoltaic module 200 to generate electricity after parking, the user can activate the electric push rod 250 on the lower surface of the photovoltaic module. The activation of the electric push rod 250 will then drive the photovoltaic frame 270 to hinge along the two hinge frames 230. At the same time, the lower end of the electric push rod 250 will also move along the slide groove 241 on the surface of the slide plate 240 through the slider 242, thereby driving the photovoltaic frame 270 to open (due to the presence of the slide plate 240, the slide groove 241 and the slider 242, there is no motion interference when the electric push rod 250 drives the photovoltaic frame 270 to open). Since the photovoltaic module on the mounting component is connected to the mounting component by hinge and is connected by the slide plate 240 and the electric push rod 250, this design allows the angle of the photovoltaic panel 280 to be flexibly adjusted according to the position of the sun, increasing the power generation efficiency when the vehicle is parked.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
