Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle solar energy devices, and in particular to a concealed roof-mounted solar energy mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] New energy vehicles refer to automobiles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as their power source and integrate advanced technologies in vehicle power control and drive, resulting in vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and new structures.

[0003] To extend the driving range of vehicles, some new energy vehicles are equipped with onboard solar panels on their roofs to provide additional power. Currently, most new energy vehicles on the market have a solar panel fixedly installed on the roof for photovoltaic conversion.

[0004] However, due to the small roof area, the area of ​​solar panels that can be installed is limited, resulting in low power generation. Furthermore, the exposed solar panels on the roof accumulate a lot of dust, which also affects power generation efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems of solar panels in the background art, this application provides a concealed roof-mounted solar panel mechanism.

[0006] This application provides a concealed rooftop solar panel mechanism, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A concealed roof-mounted solar panel mechanism includes a base fixedly mounted on the roof of a vehicle. A first solar panel is horizontally fixedly mounted on the base. Two second solar panels are rotatably mounted on both sides of the base. The two second solar panels are parallel to the first solar panel and located above the first solar panel. A drive mechanism for driving the second solar panels to rotate is provided at the rotatable connection between the two second solar panels and the base.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the second solar panel of the hidden roof solar system can be unfolded, which not only effectively utilizes the space on the top of the vehicle and increases the installation area and power generation efficiency of the solar panel, but also allows the rotatable second solar panel to be retracted when not in use, reducing dust accumulation and further improving photoelectric conversion performance.

[0009] Preferably, the base is provided with a placement groove, and both the first solar panel and the second solar panel are located in the placement groove.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the impact of dust on solar panels can be effectively reduced, improving power generation efficiency. The placement slot design allows the first and second solar panels to be placed inside the slot when not in use, avoiding dust accumulation caused by prolonged exposure. At the same time, this design also enhances the overall aesthetics of the vehicle and improves the user experience.

[0011] Preferably, support blocks are fixedly provided on both sides of the placement groove, and the first solar panel is fixedly placed on the support blocks.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the support block effectively supports the first solar panel, ensuring its stability during use and preventing displacement or damage caused by vibration or external impact. Simultaneously, the positional design of the support block allows the first solar panel to be firmly fixed within the placement slot, improving the reliability and safety of the entire concealed roof-mounted solar panel mechanism.

[0013] Preferably, rotating seats are fixedly provided on both sides of the placement slot, and rotating blocks are rotatably connected to the rotating seats, with the second solar panel fixedly connected to the rotating blocks.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, this design allows the second solar panel to rotate flexibly via a rotating base and a rotating block. When the vehicle is stationary, the angle of the second solar panel can be adjusted to better face the sunlight, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency. When the vehicle is moving or parked in a dusty environment, the second solar panel can be retracted into the placement slot to prevent dust from adhering and affecting power generation efficiency, while also protecting the second solar panel from damage by the external environment.

[0015] Preferably, a gear one is fixedly mounted on the rotating block, and the gear one rotates coaxially with the rotating block. A gear two is also rotatably mounted on the base, and the gear two meshes with the gear one. A transmission rod is also mounted on the base, and a gear three is fixedly mounted at one end of the transmission rod, and the gear three meshes with the gear two. A gear four is also fixedly mounted on the transmission rod, and the driving mechanism is used to drive the gear four to rotate.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the automatic deployment and retraction of the second solar panel can be achieved. When solar energy is needed, the drive mechanism drives gear four to rotate, which in turn drives gear three, gear two, and gear one to rotate, ultimately causing the rotating block to rotate. This allows the second solar panel to rotate and unfold from its placement slot, increasing the effective receiving area of ​​the solar panel and improving power generation efficiency. When solar energy is not needed or in case of severe weather, the second solar panel can be retracted into its placement slot through the reverse process, effectively avoiding the impact of the external environment on the solar panel and extending its service life.

[0017] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes a drive motor and a bevel gear set mounted on the base. The output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the input end of the bevel gear set. A gear five is fixedly connected to the output end of the bevel gear set. A gear six is ​​provided between gear five and gear four. The gear six meshes with both gear five and gear four.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the combination of drive motor and bevel gear set not only realizes precise control of the second solar panel and improves the angle adjustment accuracy of the solar panel, but also effectively reduces the space occupied by the system, making the whole device more compact.

[0019] Preferably, a protective plate is fixedly mounted on the rotating base, and the second solar panel is fixedly mounted on the protective plate on the side close to the first solar panel.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the second solar panel is fixedly installed on the protective plate on the side close to the first solar panel, which can effectively prevent the external environment from damaging the second solar panel and improve its service life and stability.

[0021] Preferably, the base is also provided with a weight-reducing groove.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, a weight-reducing groove is provided on the base, which can effectively reduce the weight of the entire hidden roof solar panel, reduce the overall burden on the vehicle, improve fuel economy and range. The design of the weight-reducing groove will not affect the structural strength and stability of the base, ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the device.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. By installing a first solar panel and a rotatable second solar panel on the roof base, the effective area of ​​the solar panel can be increased without taking up extra space, significantly improving the power generation and effectively extending the vehicle's range;

[0025] 2. The second solar panel can automatically adjust its angle through a drive mechanism to ensure that it is always in the optimal position for receiving sunlight, thereby maximizing the photoelectric conversion efficiency and maintaining a high energy collection efficiency even under different times and weather conditions;

[0026] 3. The concealed design allows the solar panels to be stored in the placement slot when not in use, avoiding the influence of dust and other contaminants, thus improving the cleanliness of the solar panels and their long-term stability. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0033] This application discloses a concealed rooftop solar panel mechanism.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A concealed rooftop solar panel mechanism includes a base 1 fixedly mounted on the roof of a vehicle. A placement slot 2 is formed above the base 1, and a first solar panel 3 is horizontally fixed within the placement slot 2. Second solar panels 4 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the placement slot 2. In the initial state, the two second solar panels 4 are parallel to and above the first solar panel 3. A drive mechanism 5 for rotating the second solar panels 4 is provided at the rotatable connection between the two second solar panels 4 and the base 1. Since both the first solar panel 3 and the second solar panel 4 are located within the placement slot 2, this design not only reduces the direct impact of the external environment on the solar panels but also effectively solves the problems of limited area and easy dust accumulation in traditional rooftop solar panels, thus improving the power generation efficiency and lifespan of the solar panels.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Multiple support blocks 6 are fixedly arranged on both sides of the placement groove 2. The support blocks 6 are "L" shaped and include a horizontal part 61 and a vertical part 62. The vertical part 62 of the support blocks 6 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the placement groove 2. The first solar panel 3 is fixedly connected to the horizontal part 61. In this embodiment, the support blocks 6 are set in four pairs and are respectively arranged on both sides of the placement groove 2.

[0036] ReferenceFigure 2 and Figure 3 Rotating seats 7 are fixedly installed on both sides of the placement slot 2. Rotating blocks 8 are rotatably connected to the rotating seats 7. Gear 9 is fixedly embedded in the rotating blocks 8 and rotates coaxially with the rotating blocks 8. Gear 10 is rotatably installed on the base 1 and meshes with gear 9. A transmission rod 11 is rotatably installed on the base 1. Gear 12 is installed at both ends of the transmission rod 11 and meshes with gear 10. Gear 13 is fixedly installed in the middle of the transmission rod 11.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The drive mechanism 5 includes a drive motor 51 and a bevel gear set 52 fixedly mounted on the base 1. The output shaft of the drive motor 51 is fixedly connected to the input end of the bevel gear set 52. A gear 54 is fixedly connected to the output end of the bevel gear set 52. A gear 615 is provided between gear 514 and gear 413. Gear 615 meshes with both gear 514 and gear 413. In this embodiment, the multi-gear transmission has more teeth and more tooth surface contact points, which makes the gear transmission smoother and reduces vibration and noise.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, four rotating blocks 8 and a driving mechanism 5 are horizontally and evenly arranged on both sides of the placement groove 2. Gears 12 at both ends of the transmission rod 11 mesh with gears 10 on the two middle rotating blocks 8. Gears 10 drive the rotating blocks 8 to rotate, enabling the automatic unfolding and retraction of the second solar panel 4. When solar energy is needed, the drive motor 51 drives gear 13 to rotate via the bevel gear set 52, sequentially driving gears 12, 10, and 9 to rotate, ultimately causing the rotating blocks 8 to rotate. This allows the second solar panel 4 to rotate and unfold within the placement groove 2, increasing the effective receiving area of ​​the solar panel and improving power generation efficiency. When solar energy is not needed or in severe weather, the second solar panel 4 can be retracted into the placement groove 2 through the reverse process, effectively avoiding the influence of the external environment on the solar panel, reducing dust accumulation, and extending its service life.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A protective plate 16 is fixedly connected to the rotating block 8, and the second solar panel 4 is fixedly installed on the protective plate 16. A weight reduction groove 17 is also provided in the base 1.

[0040] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: The base 1 is provided with a first solar panel 3 and a planar layout so that it can make full use of sunlight resources during normal driving and increase the basic power generation. The rotation setting of the second solar panel 4 can be opened when needed to increase power generation and improve the range. When power generation is not required, the second solar panel can be rotated into the placement slot 2 and attached to the first solar panel 3. At this time, the protective plate 16 is located at the top of the placement slot 2, which can minimize dust coverage and ensure power generation.

[0041] The design of mounting slot 2 is not merely a simple improvement on the original structure, but a comprehensive enhancement of the overall system performance. Firstly, it provides better physical protection, extending the lifespan of the solar panels. Secondly, the enclosed design of mounting slot 2 helps maintain the solar panels' optimal operating condition, preventing efficiency degradation due to external contamination. Finally, the clean and uncluttered design not only improves the user experience but also adds a touch of elegance to the vehicle.

[0042] The design of support block 6 significantly improves the fixation of the first solar panel 3, ensuring its stability under various complex road conditions. Firstly, the high-strength material and rational structural design of support block 6 provide strong support, preventing loosening even under severe vibration. The presence of support block 6 not only simplifies the installation process but also improves maintenance convenience and significantly reduces maintenance costs.

[0043] The complex gear transmission system design not only enables precise angle adjustment of the second solar panel 4, but also significantly improves the system's response speed and control accuracy. Firstly, the spur gear design of gears 9 and 10 ensures linear transmission and reduces energy loss. The perfect fit between gear 13 and the drive mechanism 5 allows the entire system to respond quickly to external signals and adjust the angle of the second solar panel 4 in real time. This design is suitable not only for static parking but also for dynamic driving, further improving the energy efficiency of new energy vehicles.

[0044] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
