Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic equipment technology, and in particular to a novel foldable photovoltaic panel. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, in temporary construction sites in the field, existing technologies typically use stationary generators to generate electricity for equipment. This requires the combined use of a generator, a power conversion module, and a power storage module. Assembling these power generation devices is quite complex and requires professional personnel for assembly and debugging, making construction quite cumbersome.

[0003] With the vigorous promotion of photovoltaic power generation, photovoltaic power generation has developed rapidly in recent years as a major source of new energy electricity. In order to replace traditional fuel power generation equipment, the applicant urgently needs to develop a photovoltaic panel that can be laid on the ground, but it must have the characteristics of rapid installation and rapid storage. To address this practical need, those skilled in the art have creatively proposed constraining the photovoltaic panels through a guiding device to achieve directional extension and storage; however, there is no such photovoltaic panel structure that can be directly utilized in the existing technology.

[0004] In response to the actual technical shortcomings of existing technologies, as technical personnel in this industry, when developing this type of photovoltaic panel that enables rapid installation and storage, it is essential to ensure stability under support and protection against impacts and collisions after storage. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model develops a novel foldable photovoltaic panel, which, by setting a hinged frame and mounting the photovoltaic panel on the hinged frame, enables the overall rapid folding and unfolding.

[0006] The technical solution adopted is as follows:

[0007] A novel foldable photovoltaic panel includes two frames; photovoltaic panels are fixed to the frames by locking devices; the bottom of each frame is connected to a slider by a hinge, and the slider is provided with a pulley that cooperates with an external track; the tops of the two frames are hinged by hinges and are provided with extension positioning devices; at least one of the two frames is provided with a flexible folding positioning device to avoid squeezing damage to adjacent photovoltaic panels after folding.

[0008] The external track is a chute track, an I-beam track, a U-shaped steel track, or a square steel track, and the pulleys on the slider are inserted into or enclosed by the external track.

[0009] Both frames have protrusions on their sides, and flexible folding positioning components are fixed on the protrusions, with the flexible folding positioning components on the two frames facing away from each other. After the foldable photovoltaic panel is folded, the flexible folding positioning components on the two frames support and protect the photovoltaic panels on the adjacent foldable photovoltaic panels.

[0010] The two frames are equipped with side tension members on their sides, which are used to fix the positioning rods. After the two photovoltaic panels on each set of foldable photovoltaic panels are extended, they are positioned with the help of positioning rods.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model includes two frames; photovoltaic panels are fixed to the frames by locking components; the bottom of each frame is connected to a slider by a hinge, and the slider is equipped with pulleys that cooperate with an external track; the tops of the two frames are hinged by hinges and are equipped with extension positioning components; at least one frame of the two frames is equipped with a flexible folding positioning component, which prevents the adjacent photovoltaic panels from being squeezed and damaged after folding. This utility model has a novel structural design. When used in single or multiple sets, it can be extended and folded for storage on the ground. When generating electricity, it can be quickly extended and laid on the site. After power generation, it can be folded and stored into a square structure, which is convenient for transportation and relocation. The device has a novel and simple structural design, is suitable for various power consumption scenarios, and is flexible and mobile, making it an ideal new type of foldable photovoltaic panel.

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Example 1:

[0021] A novel foldable photovoltaic panel includes two frames 1; photovoltaic panels 2 are fixed to the frames 1 by side locking members 3; the bottom of each frame 1 is connected to a slider 6 by a bottom hinge 5, and the slider 6 is provided with pulleys that cooperate with an external track; this track can be a groove track, an I-beam track, a U-shaped steel track, or a square steel track. In this embodiment, the external track is a groove track, and sliding is achieved by setting pulleys on the slider 6 and setting these pulleys within the grooves of the track.

[0022] The tops of the two frames 1 are connected by a top hinge 241. The tops of the frames 1 are also equipped with extension positioning members 13. In this embodiment, the extension positioning members 13 are made into a trapezoidal structure. When the two frames 1 extend on the track, as... Figure 4 As shown, positioning support can be achieved by extending the positioning component 13. After support, the two frames 1 together with the photovoltaic panel 2 are erected on the track at a certain angle, which can improve the light-gathering efficiency and avoid dirt from getting on the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2.

[0023] Based on the above structural setup, further, such as Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the two frames 1 are provided with side tension members 41 on their sides. The positioning rod 4 is fixed by the side tension members 41. After the two photovoltaic panels 2 on each set of foldable photovoltaic panels are extended, they are stabilized by the joint action of the positioning rod 4 and the extension positioning member 13.

[0024] Furthermore, on each set of foldable photovoltaic panels, protrusions 11 are provided at the four corners of the sides of the two frames 1. Flexible folding positioning elements 12 are fixed to each protrusion 11, with the flexible folding positioning elements 12 on the two frames 1 facing away from each other. After the foldable photovoltaic panel 2 is folded, the flexible folding positioning elements 12 on the two frames 1 respectively provide support contact with the photovoltaic panels 2 on the adjacent foldable photovoltaic panels 2, preventing damage from compression after the adjacent photovoltaic panels 2 are folded. Typically, these flexible folding positioning elements 12 are made of rubber or have a rubber-coated stainless steel structure.

[0025] In summary, this utility model has a simple and novel structural design. It can be extended and folded on a ground track, is suitable for various power consumption scenarios, and is flexible and mobile. It can be quickly laid out on the site when generating electricity, and can be stored in the box and transported away by vehicle after the power consumption on the site is over. It is an ideal new type of foldable photovoltaic panel.
