Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic panel technology, specifically a foldable photovoltaic panel. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the global economy and the continuous growth of the population, energy demand has shown a rapid growth trend. Traditional fossil energy sources such as coal, oil and natural gas are not only facing the problem of increasing depletion, but also release a large amount of greenhouse gases during use, causing serious pollution to the environment and exacerbating global climate change. Against this background, seeking clean and renewable energy has become an important research direction in the global energy field.

[0003] Traditional portable photovoltaic panels are usually rigid structures with fixed shapes and sizes, which are inconvenient to install and use. Traditional photovoltaic panels are difficult to meet actual needs. In order to overcome these limitations, foldable photovoltaic panels have emerged. Early foldable photovoltaic panels had relatively simple structures and mostly used mechanical hinges to achieve the folding function.

[0004] However, some foldable photovoltaic panels have relatively simple folding mechanisms, which are not conducive to storage and transportation in some space-limited scenarios. They cannot be easily folded and stored for portability, nor can they be adapted to more usage scenarios through flipping and folding. In view of this, we propose a foldable photovoltaic panel. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a foldable photovoltaic panel to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A foldable photovoltaic panel includes a body, a handle fixedly mounted on the outer side of one end of the body, and a folding assembly disposed on the body, the folding assembly comprising:

[0008] A fixed hinge seat is fixedly installed on the inner side of the other end of the machine body. A short rod is hinged to the inner side of the bottom end of the fixed hinge seat. A V-shaped rod is hinged to the inner side of the top end of the fixed hinge seat. A long rod is hinged to the other end of the short rod and the V-shaped rod. The long rod is hinged to the inner side of one end of the movable hinge seat. A driven rod is hinged to the other end of the V-shaped rod. The other end of the driven rod is hinged to the inner side of the other end of the movable hinge seat.

[0009] A rectangular plate is fixedly installed on the outside of the movable hinge seat. An installation plate is fixedly installed on the outside of the rectangular plate. A photovoltaic panel body is fixedly installed on the outside of the installation plate. There are two sets of installation plates. Each set of installation plates has two sets of photovoltaic panel bodies located on the front and back sides of the installation plate. The two sets of installation plates are hinged together by hinges. There are multiple sets of hinges.

[0010] A magnetic block is fixedly installed on the mounting plate. A stop block is fixedly installed on the outer side of a set of mounting plates near the rectangular plate. A stop strip is fixedly installed on the top inner side of the end of the body near the handle.

[0011] Preferably, a locking block is fixedly installed on the outer side of a set of mounting plates away from the rectangular plate, and a locking groove is provided at the top of the machine body, with the locking block and the locking groove being adapted to each other in size.

[0012] Preferably, a set of mounting plates away from the rectangular plate has protruding rods fixedly installed on its outer side, and multiple sets of protruding rods are provided.

[0013] Preferably, multiple sets of the fixed hinge seat, short rod, V-shaped rod, long rod, driven rod, and movable hinge seat are provided, and the multiple sets of the fixed hinge seat, short rod, V-shaped rod, long rod, driven rod, and movable hinge seat are arranged in a linear array with equal spacing, thereby making the photovoltaic panel body fold more stably.

[0014] Preferably, an auxiliary component is provided on the outer side of the photovoltaic panel body. The auxiliary component includes a disk. The disk is fixedly installed on the outer side of the bottom end of the rectangular panel. A limit hole is opened on the disk. A threaded hole is opened on the side wall of the body. A bolt is threaded inside the threaded hole.

[0015] Preferably, the disc, threaded hole, and bolt are provided in two sets, and the two sets of disc, threaded hole, and bolt are mirror images of each other on both ends of the rectangular plate with the vertical centerline of the machine body as the mirror axis. Each set of discs has multiple sets of limiting holes, and the multiple sets of limiting holes are arranged in an equally spaced circular array with the center of the circular cross-section of the disc as the array center. The projection of the circular motion trajectory of the limiting holes on the machine body intersects with the axis of the threaded hole, so that the photovoltaic panel body remains stable at more tilt angles.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a foldable photovoltaic panel, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This foldable photovoltaic panel, in order to better install and fold the photovoltaic panel body, is equipped with a folding component. When the protruding rod is grasped and lifted, the mounting plate is lifted, causing the locking block to move away from the inside of the locking slot. At the same time, the rectangular plate drives the moving hinge seat to move synchronously. In conjunction with the fixed hinge seat, short rod, V-shaped rod, long rod and driven rod, the photovoltaic panel body can be placed at an angle. The hinge can fold multiple sets of photovoltaic panels together. The magnetic block can place two sets of photovoltaic panels close together. The stop block can prevent two sets of photovoltaic panels from being over-folded. The stop strip can better support the horizontal mounting plate, thus enabling better installation and folding of the photovoltaic panel body.

[0018] 2. In order to keep the photovoltaic panel body stable at more tilt angles, the foldable photovoltaic panel is equipped with an auxiliary component. When the rectangular panel rotates, the disc rotates synchronously. After the mounting plate is tilted and placed at the target angle, the limiting hole and the threaded hole are aligned. The bolt is screwed into the threaded hole and then into the limiting hole, so that the disc cannot rotate, thus enabling the photovoltaic panel body to remain stable at more tilt angles.

[0025] 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.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0027] A foldable photovoltaic panel includes a body 1, with a handle 2 fixedly installed on the outer side of one end of the body 1, which facilitates lifting the device body for portability.

[0028] In one embodiment of this utility model, a folding assembly 3 is provided on the body 1. The folding assembly 3 includes a fixed hinge seat 31. The fixed hinge seat 31 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the other end of the body 1. One end of a short rod 32 is hinged to the inner side of the bottom end of the fixed hinge seat 31. One end of a V-shaped rod 33 is hinged to the inner side of the top end of the fixed hinge seat 31. A long rod 34 is hinged to the other end of the short rod 32 and the V-shaped rod 33. The long rod 34 is hinged to the inner side of one end of a movable hinge seat 36. One end of the V-shaped rod 33 is hinged to one end of the driven rod 35. The other end of the driven rod 35 is hinged to the inner side of the other end of the movable hinge seat 36. A rectangular plate 37 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the movable hinge seat 36. A mounting plate 38 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the rectangular plate 37. A photovoltaic panel body 39 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the mounting plate 38. In addition, there are three sets of fixed hinge seats 31, short rods 32, V-shaped rods 33, long rods 34, driven rods 35, and movable hinge seats 36, and the three sets of fixed hinges are provided. The photovoltaic panel body 39 is arranged in a linear array with equal spacing of base 31, short rod 32, V-shaped rod 33, long rod 34, driven rod 35, and movable hinge base 36, thereby making the folding of the photovoltaic panel body 39 more stable. Two sets of mounting plates 38 are provided, with two sets of photovoltaic panel bodies 39 on each set of mounting plates 38, located on the front and back sides of the mounting plate 38. The two sets of mounting plates 38 are hinged together by hinges 310, with three sets of hinges 310. Magnetic blocks 311 are fixedly installed on the mounting plates 38. A stop block 312 is fixedly installed on the outer side of a set of mounting plates 38 near the rectangular plate 37. A stop strip 313 is fixedly installed on the top inner side of the end of the body 1 near the handle 2. In addition, a locking block 314 is fixedly installed on the outer side of a set of mounting plates 38 away from the rectangular plate 37. A locking groove 315 is opened at the top of the body 1. The size of the locking block 314 and the locking groove 315 are matched. In addition, a protruding rod 316 is fixedly installed on the outer side of a set of mounting plates 38 away from the rectangular plate 37. Two sets of protruding rods 316 are provided.

[0029] In this embodiment, in the initial state, the locking block 314 is located in the slot 315, and the photovoltaic panel body 39 is in an initial horizontal position. When it is necessary to adjust the angle or fold the photovoltaic panel body 39, the operator holds the protruding rod 316 and lifts it upward. The action of lifting the protruding rod 316 causes the mounting plate 38 to be lifted by an upward force. At the same time, the movement of the mounting plate 38 causes the locking block 314 to move upward together, so that the locking block 314 gradually moves away from the inside of the slot 315, releasing the fixed constraint formed by the locking block 314 and the slot 315 between the mounting plate 38 and the body 1. The lifting action of the mounting plate 38 is transmitted to the rectangular plate 37 through the connection relationship. 7. As the mounting plate 38 moves, it drives the movable hinge seat 36 on its outer side to move synchronously. The long rod 34, hinged to the inner side of one end of the movable hinge seat 36, changes position with the movement of the movable hinge seat 36. The movement of the long rod 34, in turn, drives the short rod 32 and V-shaped rod 33, which are hinged to it, to move. One end of the short rod 32 is hinged to the inner side of the bottom end of the fixed hinge seat 31, and one end of the V-shaped rod 33 is hinged to the inner side of the top end of the fixed hinge seat 31. They rotate accordingly under the drive of the long rod 34. At the same time, the driven rod 35, hinged to the other end of the V-shaped rod 33, also moves with the movement of the V-shaped rod 33. The other end of the driven rod 35 is also hinged to the inner side of the other end of the movable hinge seat 36, thus forming a... A complete hinged transmission system, through the hinged transmission of fixed hinge seat 31, short rod 32, V-shaped rod 33, long rod 34 and driven rod 35, allows the mounting plate 38 to smoothly rotate around the hinge point. The rotation of the mounting plate 38 causes the photovoltaic panel body 39 to tilt accordingly, thus allowing the photovoltaic panel body 39 to face the sun at different angles for better multi-angle solar energy acquisition. When the photovoltaic panel body 39 needs to be folded, the operator folds the two sets of mounting plates 38 closer together. Since the two sets of mounting plates 38 are hinged together by a hinge 310, which connects and allows rotation, the two sets of mounting plates 38 can rotate relative to each other. As the two sets of mounting plates 38 gradually approach each other, the magnetic blocks 311 fixedly installed on the mounting plates 38 come into play. The two sets of magnetic blocks 311 attract each other, allowing the photovoltaic panel bodies 39 installed on the two sets of mounting plates 38 to be placed tightly together, completing the folding action. This adapts to different installation scenarios and facilitates the alternating use of the photovoltaic panel bodies 39 on the front and back of the mounting plates 38 when needed. The stop block 312 prevents the photovoltaic panel bodies 39 from being over-folded during the folding process as the two sets of photovoltaic panel bodies 39 move away from each other, thus playing a limiting role. The stop strip 313 can better support the mounting plates 38 when they are placed in a horizontal state, ensuring the stability of the mounting plates 38.

[0030] In one embodiment of this utility model, an auxiliary component 4 is provided on the outer side of the photovoltaic panel body 39. The auxiliary component 4 includes a disc 41. The disc 41 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the bottom end of the rectangular plate 37. A limiting hole 42 is opened on the disc 41. A threaded hole 43 is opened on the side wall of the body 1. A bolt 44 is threadedly installed on the inner side of the threaded hole 43. In addition, there are two sets of discs 41, threaded holes 43 and bolts 44. The two sets of discs 41, threaded holes 43 and bolts 44 are mirrored on both ends of the rectangular plate 37 with the vertical center line of the body 1 as the mirror axis. Ten sets of limiting holes 42 are provided on a single set of discs 41. The ten sets of limiting holes 42 are all arranged in a circular array with the center of the circular cross section of the disc 41 as the array center. The projection of the circular motion trajectory of the limiting holes 42 on the body 1 intersects with the axis of the threaded hole 43, so that the photovoltaic panel body 39 remains stable at more tilt angles.

[0031] In this embodiment, during the angle adjustment of the photovoltaic panel body 39 by the folding assembly 3, the rectangular plate 37 will rotate. Since the disc 41 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the bottom end of the rectangular plate 37, the rotation of the rectangular plate 37 will drive the disc 41 to rotate synchronously. According to actual needs, the operator adjusts the mounting plate 38 and the photovoltaic panel body 39 to a suitable tilt angle through the folding assembly 3. This angle is the target angle. When the mounting plate 38 and the photovoltaic panel body 39 reach the target angle, the limiting hole 42 on the disc 41 also reaches a corresponding position as the disc 41 rotates. It is necessary to align the limiting hole 42 with the threaded hole 43 opened on the side wall of the machine body 1 so that their axes are on the same straight line. After the limiting hole 42 and the threaded hole 43 are aligned, the bolt 44 is screwed into the threaded hole 43. As the bolt 44 is screwed in, the bolt 44... The end gradually enters the limiting hole 42. When the bolt 44 is fully inserted into the limiting hole 42, the rotation of the disc 41 is restricted. Because the bolt 44 connects the disc 41 to the body 1, the disc 41 can no longer rotate freely. Since the disc 41 cannot rotate, and the disc 41 is fixedly connected to the rectangular plate 37, which is connected to the mounting plate 38, and the photovoltaic panel body 39 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 38, the entire structure is fixed. The photovoltaic panel body 39 can remain stable at this target tilt angle. Moreover, the ten sets of limiting holes 42 on a single set of discs 41 are all arranged in an equally spaced circular array with the center of the circular cross-section of the disc 41 as the array center. The projection of the circular motion trajectory of the limiting holes 42 on the body 1 intersects with the axis of the threaded hole 43. This allows the photovoltaic panel body 39 to achieve stability at more different tilt angles through the above operation.

[0032] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
