[0032] Please refer to Figure 1According to an embodiment of the present invention, a support assembly 100 is used for a solar panel 200. The solar panel 200 includes a battery panel 43. The support assembly 100 includes a support member 10, a connector 12, and a locking assembly 14. The support member 10 is rotatably connected to the side of the battery panel 43. The connector 12 includes a fixed end 16 and a movable end 18, which are located at opposite ends of the connector 12. The fixed end 16 is fixedly connected to the side of the battery panel 43, and the movable end 18 is movably connected to the support member 10. The locking assembly 14 includes a first locking member 20 and a second locking member 22. The first locking member 20 is disposed on the support, and the second locking member 22 is disposed on the movable end 18. The support assembly 100 is configured such that the first locking member 20 is connected to the second locking member 22 to restrict the movement space of the support member 10, thereby supporting and fixing the battery panel 43.
[0033] In the aforementioned bracket assembly 100, the support member 10 is rotatably connected to the side of the solar panel 43, the fixed end 16 is fixedly connected to the side of the solar panel 43, and the movable end 18 is movably connected to the support member 10. The first locking member 20 is disposed on the support part, and the second locking member 22 is disposed on the movable end 18. The second locking member 22 is connected to the first locking member 20, so that the support member 10 can not only support the solar panel 200, but also adjust the tilt angle of the solar panel 200. The structure is simple, easy to adjust, and convenient for users.
[0034] Specifically, in Figure 1 In this configuration, one end of the support member 10 is rotatably connected to one end of the solar panel 43, and the other end can contact a support surface 27, which includes the ground. The connector 12 includes a connecting strap. The fixed end 16 can be fixedly connected to the end of the solar panel 43 near the support surface 27. The first locking member 20 can be installed on the side of the support member 10 facing away from the solar panel 43. The second locking member 22 can be connected to the first locking member 20.
[0035] In one embodiment, when the solar panel 43 is unfolded for use, the support member 10 can be rotated to a suitable position, and the second locking member 22 can be connected to the first locking member 20, thereby restricting the movement space of the support member 10 and preventing the end of the support member 10 that contacts the support surface 27 from continuing to move away from the solar panel 43, so that the solar panel 43 can be supported and fixed.
[0036] Please combine Figure 1 In some embodiments, the support member 10 includes a fixing part 24 and a support part 26. The fixing part 24 is fixedly connected to the side of the battery panel 43, and the support part 26 is flexibly connected to the fixing part 24.
[0037] Thus, the support part 26 and the fixing part 24 can be rotatably connected.
[0038] Specifically, the fixing part 24 can be connected to the end of the solar panel 43 away from the supporting surface 27. The fixing part 24 and the supporting part 26 can be flexibly connected by a canvas, thereby enabling the supporting part 26 and the fixing part 24 to be rotatably connected.
[0039] Please combine Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, multiple first locking members 20 are provided, and the multiple first locking members 20 are spaced apart along the length direction L of the support portion 26.
[0040] In this way, the tilt angle of the adjustable solar panel 43 can be adjusted to allow the solar panel 43 to better capture sunlight.
[0041] Specifically, along the length L of the support portion 26, a plurality of first locking members 20 are spaced apart on the side of the support portion 26 facing away from the solar panel 43. In one example, when the support portion 26 is rotated and unfolded, a second locking member 22 is connected to the first locking member 20 closest to the fixing part 24, at which point the angle between the solar panel 43 and the support surface 27 is θ1. In another example, when the support portion 26 is rotated and unfolded, a second locking member 22 is connected to the first locking member 20 farthest from the fixing part 24, at which point the angle between the solar panel 43 and the support surface 27 is θ2. θ2 is greater than θ1. That is to say, by providing multiple first locking members 20, the tilt angle of the solar panel 43 can be adjusted, allowing the solar panel 43 to better capture sunlight.
[0042] It is understandable that, starting from the first locking member 20 closest to the fixing part 24, the second locking member 22 is connected to the multiple first locking members 20 on the support part 26 one by one, and the angle between the battery plate 43 and the support surface 27 gradually increases.
[0043] Please combine Figure 1 In some embodiments, the support member 10 has a through hole 28, and the movable end 18 passes through the through hole 28 to connect the second locking member 22 to the first locking member 20.
[0044] Thus, the second locking member 22 can be connected to the first locking member 20 located on the side of the support portion 26 facing away from the battery panel 43 through the through hole 28.
[0045] Specifically, in Figure 1 In this embodiment, the through hole 28 can be formed at the end of the support portion 26 away from the fixing portion 24, and the through hole 28 can be an oblong hole. In one embodiment, when the support portion 26 is rotated and unfolded, the movable end 18 can pass through the through hole 28 from the side of the support portion 26 facing the battery plate 43, and then the second locking member 22 can be connected to the first locking member 20 located on the side of the support portion 26 opposite to the battery plate 43.
[0046] Please combine Figure 1In some embodiments, the first locking member 20 includes a first sub-button 30, and the second locking member 22 includes a first female button 32, the first female button 32 being connected to the first sub-button 30.
[0047] Thus, the connector 12 and the support can be fixed by connecting the first female button 30 and the first male button 32 together.
[0048] Specifically, in one embodiment, the first female button 32 is moved to the first male button 30, and the locking head of the first male button 30 is aligned with the locking groove of the first female button 32. Then, the first female button 32 is pressed so that the locking head of the first male button 30 is located in the locking groove of the first female button 32, thereby connecting and fixing the first male button 30 and the first female button 32.
[0049] It is understood that in other embodiments, the connection between the first locking member 20 and the second locking member 22 can also be a snap-on and hook-on connection, or a Velcro connection, etc.
[0050] Please combine Figure 1 In some embodiments, the bracket assembly 100 includes a fixing component 34, a portion of which is disposed on the battery panel 43 and another portion of which is disposed on the support member 10. The fixing component 34 is configured to fix the support member 10 to the battery panel 43 when the support member 10 is stored.
[0051] In this way, the support member 10 can be stored and fixed by the fixing component 34.
[0052] Specifically, some of the fixing components 34 can be installed on the solar panel 43 near the fixing end 16, while other fixing components 34 can be installed on the end of the support portion 26 away from the fixing portion 24. In one embodiment, when the support member 10 is housed, the fixing components 34 can fix the support member 10 to the solar panel 43.
[0053] Please combine Figure 1 In some embodiments, the fixing component 34 includes a first fixing member 36 and a second fixing member 38. The first fixing member 36 is fixedly connected to the side of the battery panel 43, and the second fixing member 38 is fixedly connected to the end of the support member 10 away from the battery panel 43. The second fixing member 38 is connected to the first fixing member 36.
[0054] In this way, the support member 10 can be stored and fixed by the first fixing member 36 and the second fixing member 38.
[0055] Specifically, the first fixing member 36 can be installed on the battery panel 43 near the fixing end 16, and the second fixing member 38 fixing assembly 34 can be installed on the end of the support portion 26 away from the fixing portion 24. In one embodiment, when the support member 10 is housed, the first fixing member 36 and the second fixing member 38 can be connected to fix the support member 10 to the battery panel 43.
[0056] Please combine Figure 1 In some embodiments, the first fastener 36 includes a second sub-button 40, and the second fastener 38 includes a second female button 42, the second female button 42 being connected to the second sub-button 40.
[0057] Thus, the support member 10 can be further fixed on the battery panel 43 by connecting the second sub-button 40 and the second female button 42.
[0058] Specifically, in one embodiment, the second female button 42 is moved to the second male button 40, the locking head of the second male button 40 is aligned with the locking groove of the second female button 42, and then the second female button 42 is pressed so that the locking head of the second male button 40 is located in the locking groove of the second female button 42, thereby connecting and fixing the second male button 40 and the second female button 42.
[0059] It is understood that in other embodiments, the connection between the first fastener 36 and the second fastener 38 can also be a snap-fit and hook connection, or a Velcro connection, etc.
