Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to a solar panel, vehicle, and carrier. Background Technology

[0002] Cars can have solar panels installed on their roofs to charge the vehicle or its interior devices using solar energy. However, car roofs are typically not flat surfaces, making it difficult to install solar panels. Some technologies involve attaching multiple small, rigid panels to the roof, but this results in insufficient solar energy utilization. Others integrate the solar panels directly into the roof shell, but this is structurally complex and leads to higher costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, this application provides a solar panel, vehicle, and carrier that can improve the utilization rate of light energy on the top of the carrier, and the solar panel is easy to install.

[0004] One embodiment of this application provides a solar panel for mounting to the top of a vehicle. The solar panel includes a panel body and a connector. The panel body is configured to be flexibly deformable. Deformation joints are formed in the panel body. The deformation joints are formed at least on two opposite outer sides of the panel body. The deformation joints formed on the two opposite outer sides extend towards the centerline of the panel body. The distribution direction of the two opposite outer sides is defined as the left-right direction. The front-back direction is defined as perpendicular to the left-right direction. The panel body includes a head region and a tail region. The head region and tail region are distributed along the front-back direction. Deformation joints are provided at least on the two opposite outer sides of the tail region and / or the head region. The connector is provided on one side of the panel body. The connector is configured to be attached to the top of the vehicle by adhesive or magnetic attraction.

[0005] The solar panels can be attached to the surface of the carrier top via adhesive or magnetic attraction, facilitating installation and preventing damage to the carrier top structure. The panels are flexible and deformable, adapting to the shape of the carrier top and improving the fit between the solar panel and the carrier top. Furthermore, expansion joints are provided on the two opposite outer edges of the tail and / or head areas of the solar panel, allowing for structural adjustments on both sides of the joints, increasing the deformation range of the solar panel, and enabling it to adapt to the curvature of the carrier top surface. This also helps reduce the possibility of bulges in certain areas of the solar panel, further enhancing the tightness of the fit between the solar panel and the carrier top. Through this structure, the solar panels can maximize the utilization of the carrier top area, improving solar energy utilization. The solar panels can be assembled onto the carrier top after production is complete, rather than being directly integrated into the carrier top during production, which helps reduce carrier design and production costs.

[0006] In some embodiments of this application, the solar panel has a separation gap. The separation gap is arranged in a front-to-back direction. The separation gap extends from the side of the head region away from the tail region toward the tail region.

[0007] Expansion joints and partition gaps work together to offset each other's bulges to a certain extent, allowing the solar panels to fit more closely to the top of the vehicle.

[0008] In some embodiments of this application, the plate also has two opposing inner sides. These two opposing inner sides are located on either side of the partition gap. The expansion joint includes a first joint and a second joint. The first joint is formed on the two opposing outer sides of the tail region and extends toward the centerline of the plate. The second joint is formed on the two opposing inner sides of the head region and extends away from the centerline of the plate.

[0009] By creating a first slit, the solar panel can be pulled apart along the front-to-back direction, causing the two opposite outer edges in the tail region (away from the head region) to move closer together in the left-to-right direction. This results in a narrowing deformation in the tail region of the panel, better conforming to the shape of the vehicle's top. Similarly, by creating a second slit, the solar panel can be pulled apart along the front-to-back direction, causing the two opposite inner edges in the head region (away from the tail region) to move further apart in the left-to-right direction. This results in a widening deformation in the head region of the panel, also better conforming to the shape of the vehicle's top.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the plate also includes a central region. The central region is located between the head region and the tail region in a front-to-back direction. The partition gap extends even into the central region. The expansion joint also includes a third joint and a fourth joint. The third joint is formed on the two opposite outer sides of the central region and extends toward the centerline of the plate. The fourth joint is formed on the two opposite inner sides of the central region and extends away from the centerline of the plate.

[0011] By setting a third seam on the two opposite outer sides and a fourth seam on the two opposite inner sides in the middle region, the deformation capacity of the panel can be further enhanced, and the bulging of the middle region caused by the deformation of the head and tail regions can be alleviated, thereby improving the bonding effect between the solar panel and the top of the vehicle.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the third seam is closer to the tail region than the fourth seam.

[0013] The deformation trends of the third seam and the first seam are consistent, and the deformation trends of the fourth seam and the second seam are consistent. This makes the overall deformation trend of the plate consistent from the middle region to the tail region, and from the middle region to the head region, so as to reduce the possibility of the plate bulging due to repeated deformation in different directions.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, the plate body has a notch area. The notch area is located on the two outer sides opposite to the head area.

[0015] By setting notched areas, the deformation capacity of the corresponding positions of the panel can be improved to adapt to the positions with large local curvature on the top of the vehicle, thereby improving the overall ability of the solar panel to fit the top of the vehicle.

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, the expansion joint further includes a fifth joint. The fifth joint is formed at the edge of the gap region and extends away from the gap region.

[0017] By setting a fifth seam, the deformation capacity of the gap area is further enhanced, making it easier for the structure near the gap area to fit into the part of the vehicle top with a large local curvature.

[0018] In some embodiments of this application, the partition gap extends through the solar panel in the front-to-back direction, so that the panel is divided into two sub-panels in the left-to-right direction.

[0019] The panel is divided into two sections, which reduces the difficulty of assembling the solar panel onto the top of the carrier and helps to reduce the impact of production or assembly tolerances on the bonding effect between the solar panel and the top of the carrier. Furthermore, the through-gap in the front-to-back direction allows the solar panel to adapt to shape changes in the left-to-right direction caused by deformation through expansion joints.

[0020] In some embodiments of this application, the end of the expansion joint is an arc-shaped structure.

[0021] When the plate deforms through the expansion joint, it helps to avoid stress concentration points at the end of the expansion joint, thereby reducing the possibility of cracking at the end of the expansion joint.

[0022] In some embodiments of this application, the distance between one end of the two opposite outer edges in the front-back direction and the other end in the left-right direction gradually increases.

[0023] The two opposite outer edges of the panel can better fit the shape changes of the vehicle top, increasing the area of ​​the solar panel covering the vehicle top and thus improving the utilization rate of light energy.

[0024] One embodiment of this application provides a vehicle. The vehicle includes a vehicle body and a solar panel as described in any of the above embodiments. The solar panel is attached to the top of the vehicle body.

[0025] The flexible structure and expansion joints of the solar panels allow them to adapt to the shape of the car roof, thereby increasing the attachment area on the roof and improving the utilization rate of solar energy at the roof location.

[0026] One embodiment of this application provides a carrier. The carrier includes a carrier body and a solar panel as described in any of the above embodiments. The solar panel is attached to the top of the carrier body.

[0027] The flexible structure and expansion joints of the solar panels allow them to adapt to the shape of the vehicle's top, thereby increasing the attachment area on the vehicle's top and improving the utilization rate of light energy at the top of the vehicle. Attached Figure Description

[0043] Cars can have solar panels installed on their roofs to charge the vehicle or its interior devices using solar energy. However, car roofs are typically not flat surfaces, making it difficult to install solar panels. Some technologies involve attaching multiple small, rigid panels to the roof, but this results in insufficient solar energy utilization. Others integrate the solar panels directly into the roof shell, but this is structurally complex and leads to higher costs.

[0044] Embodiments of this application provide a solar panel for mounting to the top of a vehicle. The solar panel includes a panel body and a connector. The panel body is configured to be flexibly deformable. Deformation joints are formed in the panel body. The deformation joints are formed at least on the two opposite outer sides of the panel body. The deformation joints formed on the two opposite outer sides extend towards the centerline of the panel body. The distribution direction of the two opposite outer sides is defined as the left-right direction. The front-back direction is defined as perpendicular to the left-right direction. The panel body includes a head region and a tail region. The head region and tail region are distributed along the front-back direction. Deformation joints are provided at least on the two opposite outer sides of the tail region and / or the head region. The connector is provided on one side of the panel body. The connector is configured to be attached to the top of the vehicle by adhesive or magnetic attraction.

[0045] The solar panels can be attached to the surface of the carrier top via adhesive or magnetic attraction, facilitating installation and preventing damage to the carrier top structure. The panels are flexible and deformable, adapting to the shape of the carrier top and improving the fit between the solar panel and the carrier top. Furthermore, expansion joints are provided on the opposite outer edges of the tail and / or head areas of the solar panel, allowing for structural adjustments on both sides of the joints to increase the deformation range of the solar panel. This allows it to adapt to the curvature of the carrier top surface and reduces the possibility of bulges in certain areas, further enhancing the tightness of the fit between the solar panel and the carrier top. Through this structure, the solar panels can maximize the utilization of the carrier top area, improving solar energy utilization. The solar panels can be assembled onto the carrier top after production is complete, rather than being directly integrated into the carrier top during production, which helps reduce carrier design and production costs.

[0046] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0047] See Figures 1 to 4 One embodiment of this application provides a solar panel 100 and a carrier. The solar panel 100 is used to be mounted on top of the carrier. Embodiments of the overall carrier structure and embodiments of the solar panel 100 mounted on top of the carrier are not shown in the figures.

[0048] In some embodiments, the vehicle is a yacht or other vessel. The vehicle includes a vehicle body and solar panels 100. The solar panels 100 are attached to the top of the vehicle body.

[0049] In some embodiments, the vehicle is a vehicle. The vehicle includes a vehicle body and a solar panel 100. The solar panel 100 is attached to the top of the vehicle body, that is, to the roof (vehicle top). The solar panel 100 can adapt to the shape of the roof, thereby increasing the attachment area on the roof and improving the utilization rate of light energy at the roof location.

[0050] Understandably, in some embodiments, the top of the vehicle body typically refers to the position on the side away from the ground between the front and rear windshields and between the left and right doors.

[0051] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the solar panel 100 includes a panel body 10 and a photovoltaic module 20. The photovoltaic module 20 is disposed on one side of the panel body 10. The photovoltaic module 20 is capable of absorbing light energy and converting it into electrical energy. The photovoltaic module 20 absorbs light energy through the front surface of the panel body 10. The photovoltaic module 20 may be disposed inside the panel body 10, with the front surface of the panel body 10 having a transparent structure to facilitate the absorption of light energy by the photovoltaic module 20; alternatively, the photovoltaic module 20 may be disposed on the front surface of the panel body 10. Figure 1 and Figure 3 The front of plate 10 is shown.

[0052] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the solar panel 100 further includes a connector 30. The connector 30 attaches the back of the panel 10 to the top of the carrier. The connector 30 is configured to attach to the surface of the top of the carrier by adhesive or magnetic attraction, which facilitates installation and helps to avoid damage to the top structure of the carrier. When the connector 30 is adhesively attached to the top of the carrier, the connector 30 is located on the back of the solar panel 100; when the connector 30 is magnetically attached to the top of the carrier, the connector 30 can be directly located on the back surface of the solar panel 100 or located inside the solar panel 100. Figure 2 and Figure 4 The back of plate 10 is shown.

[0053] The solar panel 100 can be assembled onto the top of the vehicle after the vehicle is manufactured, rather than being directly integrated into the top of the vehicle during production, which helps to reduce the design and production costs of the vehicle.

[0054] In some embodiments, the surface of the roof or other vehicle top is curved. Typically, the roof or other vehicle top arches upwards near the center.

[0055] In some embodiments, the plate 10 is configured to be flexibly deformable to bend and adapt to the shape of the vehicle top, thereby improving the fit between the solar panel 100 and the vehicle top.

[0056] See Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the panel 10 has expansion joints 11. Expansion joints 11 are formed on at least two opposite outer edges 121 of the panel 10. Each outer edge 121 is provided with an expansion joint 11. The expansion joints 11 formed on the two opposite outer edges 121 extend toward the centerline of the panel 10. The expansion joints 11 penetrate both the front and back sides of the solar panel 100.

[0057] Deformation joints 11 are provided on the two opposite outer edges 121 of the solar panel 100. This facilitates structural adjustments on both sides of the deformation joints 11, increases the deformation range of the solar panel 100, allows it to adapt to the curvature of the vehicle's top surface, and helps reduce the possibility of bulges in parts of the solar panel 100, thus improving the tightness of the fit between the solar panel 100 and the vehicle's top. Through this structure, the solar panel 100 can maximize the utilization of the vehicle's top area, improving the efficiency of solar energy utilization.

[0058] Understandably, in some embodiments, each expansion joint 11 has a certain width to increase the deformation range of the solar panel 100. Furthermore, each expansion joint 11 may extend along a fixed width, or may gradually widen or narrow as it extends, or may extend with an inconsistent width; no limitation is made here. In other embodiments, the expansion joint 11 may be a narrow slit formed solely by cutting or other means.

[0059] In some embodiments, the distribution direction of the two opposite outer edges 121 is defined as the left-right direction. The front-back direction is defined as perpendicular to the left-right direction. When the solar panel 100 is assembled onto the top of the carrier, the two opposite outer edges 121 are distributed on the left and right sides of the top of the carrier. The left-right direction is parallel to the indicated direction in the figure, and the front-back direction is parallel to the indicated direction in the figure. For ease of reference to the figure, the left-right direction is referred to as "left-right direction X" and the front-back direction is referred to as "front-back direction Y" in the following text. The centerline of the panel 10 is located at the middle position of the panel 10 in the left-right direction X and extends along the front-back direction Y.

[0060] It is understood that in some embodiments, each expansion joint 11 extends along or substantially along the left-right direction X. Furthermore, each expansion joint 11 can extend in a straight line or along a curve.

[0061] In some embodiments, the plate 10 includes a head region 131 and a tail region 132. The head region 131 and the tail region 132 are distributed along the front-rear direction Y. Expansion joints 11 are provided at least on the two opposite outer sides 121 of the tail region 132 and / or the head region 131.

[0062] The expansion joint 11 in the tail region 132 facilitates the separation of the two side structures along the front-rear direction Y to adapt to the shape of the top of the vehicle corresponding to the tail region 132. The partition gap 14 in the head region 131 facilitates the separation of the two side structures along the left-right direction X to adapt to the shape of the top of the vehicle corresponding to the head region 131.

[0063] The solar panel 100 also has a partition gap 14. The partition gap 14 is arranged along the front-rear direction Y. The partition gap 14 extends from the side of the head region 131 away from the tail region 132 toward the tail region 132. Both the head region 131 and the tail region 132 are provided with connectors 30.

[0064] The expansion joint 11 and the partition gap 14 work together to offset each other's bulges to a certain extent, thereby making the solar panel 100 fit more closely to the top of the vehicle.

[0065] Understandably, in some embodiments, the separation gap 14 extends along the centerline of the plate body 10.

[0066] In some embodiments, the plate 10 further has two opposing inner sides 122. The two opposing inner sides 122 are located on both sides of the partition gap 14. The expansion joint 11 includes a first joint 111 and a second joint 112.

[0067] The first slit 111 is formed on the two opposite outer edges 121 of the tail region 132. The first slit 111 extends toward the centerline of the panel 10. By setting the first slit 111, the solar panel 100 pulls the panels 10 on both sides of the first slit 111 away from each other in the front-rear direction Y, so that the two opposite outer edges 121 at the end of the tail region 132 away from the head region 131 can move closer to each other in the left-right direction X, thereby making the tail region 132 of the panel 10 have a narrowing deformation in the left-right direction X, so as to better fit the shape of the top of the vehicle.

[0068] The second slit 112 is formed on the two opposite inner sides 122 of the head region 131. The first slit 111 extends away from the centerline of the plate body 10. By providing the second slit 112, the solar panel 100 pulls the plate body 10 on both sides of the second slit 112 away from each other in the front-rear direction Y, so that the two opposite inner sides 122 at the end of the head region 131 away from the tail region 132 are separated from each other in the left-right direction X, thereby making the head region 131 of the plate body 10 have a widening deformation in the left-right direction X, so as to better fit the shape of the top of the vehicle.

[0069] Furthermore, the expansion deformation of the first seam 111 helps to alleviate the bulging caused by the expansion deformation of the second seam 112 on both sides of the plate 10 in the left-right direction X, and the expansion deformation of the second seam 112 helps to alleviate the bulging caused by the expansion deformation of the first seam 111 on the middle of the plate 10 in the left-right direction X, thereby helping to make the solar panel 100 fit the shape of the top of the vehicle more closely.

[0070] The top of some vehicles has a shape that is wider at the front and narrower at the rear. For vehicles, the front area 131 of the solar panel 100 is located near the windshield, and the rear area 132 of the solar panel 100 is located near the rear windshield. By pulling the first slit 111 and the second slit 112, the rear area 132 is narrowed and the front area 131 is widened to adapt to the shape of the roof that is wider at the front and narrower at the rear, thereby increasing the coverage area of ​​the solar panel 100 on the roof.

[0071] In other embodiments, regardless of whether the solar panel 100 is provided with a partition gap 14, expansion joints 11 can be provided only on the two opposite outer sides 121.

[0072] Understandably, in some embodiments, a plurality of first slits 111 are provided at intervals in each outer side 121 of the tail region 132. A plurality of second slits 112 are provided at intervals in each inner side 122 of the head region 131.

[0073] In some embodiments, the solar panel 100 further includes a central region 133. The central region 133 is located between the head region 131 and the tail region 132 in the front-rear direction Y. The separation gap 14 and the two opposing inner sides 122 extend at least into the central region 133. The expansion joint 11 also includes a third joint 113 and a fourth joint 114. The third joint 113 is formed on the two opposing outer sides 121 of the central region 133 and extends toward the centerline of the panel 10. The fourth joint 114 runs along the two opposing inner sides 122 of the central region 133 and extends away from the centerline of the panel 10.

[0074] By setting a third seam 113 on the two opposite outer sides 121 and a fourth seam 114 on the two opposite inner sides 122 in the middle region 133, the deformation capacity of the plate 10 can be further enhanced, and the bulging of the middle region 133 caused by the deformation of the head region 131 and the tail region 132 can be alleviated, thereby improving the fit between the solar panel 100 and the top of the vehicle.

[0075] It is understood that in some embodiments, the central region 133 is provided with a connector 30.

[0076] Understandably, in some embodiments, the boundary line between the middle region 133 and the head region 131 lies between one-eighth and one-half of the length of the plate 10 along the front-rear direction Y (measured from the side of the head region 131 facing away from the tail region 132); the boundary line between the middle region 133 and the tail region 132 lies between one-eighth and one-half of the length of the plate 10 along the front-rear direction Y (measured from the side of the tail region 132 facing away from the head region 131). The dashed lines in each figure represent the boundary line of the middle region 133.

[0077] In some embodiments, the third seam 113 is closer to the tail region 132 than the fourth seam 114. The deformation trends of the third seam 113 and the first seam 111 are consistent, and the deformation trends of the fourth seam 114 and the second seam 112 are consistent, so that the overall deformation trend of the plate 10 from the middle region 133 to the tail region 132 is consistent, and the overall deformation trend from the middle region 133 to the head region 131 is consistent, thereby reducing the possibility of the plate 10 bulging due to repeated deformation in different directions.

[0078] In some embodiments, a plurality of third seams 113 are spaced apart in each outer side 121 of the tail region 132. A plurality of fourth seams 114 are spaced apart in each inner side 122 of the head region 131. If a plurality of third seams 113 are provided, the fourth seams 114 are closer to the head region 131 than any of the third seams 113. If a plurality of fourth seams 114 are provided, the third seams 113 are closer to the tail region 132 than any of the fourth seams 114.

[0079] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the panel 10 has a notch region 15. The notch region 15 is located on the two opposite outer sides 121 of the head region 131. The notch region 15 extends through the front and back of the solar panel 100.

[0080] By setting the notch area 15, the deformation capacity of the corresponding position of the plate 10 can be improved to adapt to the position with large local curvature on the top of the vehicle, thereby improving the overall ability of the solar panel 100 to fit the top of the vehicle.

[0081] In some embodiments, the expansion joint 11 further includes a fifth joint 115. The fifth joint 115 is formed at the edge of the notch region 15 and extends away from the notch region 15. The edge of the notch region 15 is formed by connecting straight edges and / or curved edges.

[0082] By setting the fifth seam 115, the deformation capacity of the notch area 15 is further enhanced, making the structure near the notch area 15 easier to fit into the part of the vehicle top with a large local curvature.

[0083] For example, the fifth seam 115 is located at the corner between two adjacent straight sides.

[0084] In some embodiments, the partition gap 14 extends through the solar panel 100 in the front-to-back direction Y, so that the panel 10 is divided into two sub-panels in the left-to-right direction X.

[0085] The panel 10 is divided into two sub-panels, which reduces the difficulty of assembling the solar panel 100 onto the top of the carrier and helps to reduce the impact of production tolerances or assembly tolerances on the bonding effect between the solar panel 100 and the top of the carrier. Furthermore, the partition gap 14 running through the front-rear direction Y helps the solar panel 100 adapt to the shape changes in the left-right direction X caused by deformation through the expansion joint 11.

[0086] It is understood that, in some embodiments, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, if the plate 10 is a single plate, the expansion joints 11 will not penetrate the plate 10 in the left-right direction X. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, if the plate 10 consists of two sub-plates, each expansion joint 11 will not penetrate the sub-plate in the left-right direction X, thereby avoiding dividing the plate 10 into different small pieces through the expansion joint 11 to increase the area for absorbing light, and also facilitating the assembly of the solar panel 100, and avoiding the exposure of the connecting wires connecting different small pieces of the plate 10, which could cause danger.

[0087] See Figures 1 to 4In some embodiments, the end of the expansion joint 11 is an arc-shaped structure. When the plate 10 deforms through the expansion joint 11, it helps to avoid stress concentration points at the end of the expansion joint 11, thereby reducing the possibility of cracking at the end of the expansion joint 11.

[0088] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the distance between one end of the two opposite outer sides 121 along the front-back direction Y and the other end gradually increases in the left-right direction X.

[0089] The two opposite outer edges 121 of the panel 10 can better fit the shape changes of the vehicle top, increasing the area of ​​the solar panel 100 covering the vehicle top, thereby improving the utilization rate of light energy.

[0090] Furthermore, those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are merely illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any appropriate changes and variations made to the above embodiments within the essential spirit and scope of this application fall within the scope of this application's disclosure.
