Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a solar roof for new energy vehicles, specifically an integrated solar roof. Background Technology

[0002] A golf cart is a specialized vehicle designed for golf courses, but it can also be used in parks, resorts, and tourist attractions. Golf carts are a common short-distance mode of transportation, and most use electricity as their power source. Traditional golf carts use electricity as their energy source, but due to the limitations of charging stations, they cannot be quickly recharged when the battery is depleted for the next use. This limitation necessitates not only a large number of charging stations but also the availability of multiple backup golf carts to meet demand.

[0003] Golf carts are mostly used outdoors in sunny conditions, and their ample roof area is well-suited for photovoltaic power generation. Therefore, it's considered to install a solar panel on the roof of the golf cart, allowing it to charge its own battery while in use. With sufficient roof area and ample sunlight, the electricity generated by the roof solar panel could meet the cart's power needs. However, most existing solar panels are made of glass. Firstly, glass panels are not widely used in the automotive industry due to their weight. Secondly, when used on golf carts, the glass material doesn't fit well against the curved roof (it's usually placed horizontally), posing a safety hazard. Furthermore, existing photovoltaic panels often use a string-welding method, which has low area utilization and cannot flexibly match the voltage and current requirements of the battery. Finally, the controllers used in existing golf carts are prone to water accumulation and drainage issues; rain or splashes could damage the controller due to moisture seeping into its components. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a lightweight, well-fitting, highly safe, and flexible solar integrated roof that can be matched with voltage and current.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a solar integrated vehicle roof, including a roof frame, a base adhesive coated inside the roof frame, silicone in the middle part of the base adhesive coated inside the roof frame, and a mounting position formed inside the roof frame for mounting flexible photovoltaic modules. The flexible photovoltaic modules have a shingled structure. Foam tape is pasted on the flexible photovoltaic modules and they are bonded and fixed to the mounting position inside the roof frame by the base adhesive and silicone. The flexible photovoltaic modules are connected to a controller as a control unit.

[0006] The controller is located below the roof frame.

[0007] The controller has a waterproof structure.

[0008] The base adhesive is evenly applied inside the roof frame.

[0009] The foam tape is bonded to the outer edge of the bottom adhesive.

[0010] With the above structure, firstly, the flexible photovoltaic modules used are lightweight, flexible, and have a large bending radius, resulting in excellent fit with the vehicle roof. Secondly, the flexible photovoltaic modules are adhered using a combination of adhesive, silicone, and foam tape, ensuring reliable fixation within the roof frame and secure installation, effectively avoiding safety hazards. Thirdly, the shingled structure of the flexible photovoltaic modules allows for flexible matching with the voltage and current of the vehicle's systems. Fourthly, the controller is located below the roof frame, preventing damage caused by moisture intrusion. Finally, in use, it not only meets its own power requirements, reducing waste from charging stations and backup vehicles, but also fulfills the purpose of distributed power generation, making its power generation highly flexible. Attached Figure Description

[0011] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram showing the coating distribution of the bottom layer adhesive, silicone, and foam tape in this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0012] The solar-integrated vehicle roof of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0013] As shown in the figure, this utility model's integrated solar roof fulfills the purpose of distributed power generation. Unlike centralized power generation, distributed power generation does not require long-distance power transmission; it generates enough electricity to meet its own load requirements. It can be used on golf cart roofs or other short-distance new energy vehicle roofs. It includes a roof frame 1, a base adhesive 2 applied to the roof surface, silicone 3 coated in the middle of the base adhesive 2 within the roof frame, and mounting positions 4 formed within the roof frame for installing flexible photovoltaic modules. The flexible photovoltaic modules have a shingled structure and are installed at mounting positions 4 within the roof frame. Foam tape 5 is adhered to the flexible photovoltaic modules and... The bottom adhesive 2 and silicone 3 are bonded and fixed inside the roof frame 1. As shown in the figure, the bottom adhesive 2 is evenly applied inside the roof frame, and silicone is evenly applied to the middle part of the bottom adhesive 2 inside the roof frame. The flexible photovoltaic module with foam tape 5 is then attached to the roof after the silicone is applied. This bonding structure effectively ensures good heat dissipation performance and effectively reduces the damage to the flexible photovoltaic module caused by roof vibration. In this embodiment, the flexible photovoltaic module is a shingled structure. The flexible shingled structure of the flexible photovoltaic module can better realize the utilization rate of the roof area, allowing the same area to achieve higher power generation. The flexible photovoltaic module is connected to a controller as a control unit.

[0014] Furthermore, to prevent damage to the controller caused by moisture intrusion into the components, the controller is placed under the roof frame, achieving an IP65 waterproof rating.

[0015] Of course, the above description is not intended to limit the present utility model, and the present utility model is not limited to the examples given above. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
