Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to outdoor equipment, and more particularly to an outdoor tent with a biomimetic solar panel structure. Background Technology

[0002] Current outdoor tents with solar panels often use rigid brackets to fix the photovoltaic modules. These brackets are usually directly connected to the tent surface via bolts or welding. This type of structure is prone to stress concentration and breakage at the joints in strong winds. Furthermore, the lack of wind resistance optimization design on the sun-facing edges of flat-panel solar panels increases the wind-exposed area, leading to insufficient overall tent stability. In addition, traditional support rings are typically designed as closed rings of uniform diameter, which are difficult to adapt to the naturally tapered surface of the tent from the top to the middle. This causes the rings to slip after installation, and the rigid contact between the rings and the tent fabric accelerates material wear. In existing solutions, the photovoltaic panels are tightly attached to the tent surface, resulting in heat accumulation that significantly reduces photoelectric conversion efficiency. The rigid connection method also limits the solar panels' ability to dynamically adjust their angle, making it impossible to effectively track changes in the angle of sunlight. These problems result in insufficient reliability of existing solar tents in harsh outdoor environments, necessitating a new design solution with stronger wind resistance, a lightweight structure, and optimized heat dissipation.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0016] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0017] Please see Figure 1 as well as Figure 4 An outdoor tent with a biomimetic solar panel structure according to an embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that: it includes a tent body (1), a first support collar (2), a second support collar (3), and at least two sets of solar panels (4); the first support collar (2) is sleeved on the top outer surface of the tent body (1), and the second support collar (3) is sleeved on the middle outer surface of the tent body (1); the edge of the solar panel (4) facing the light is a wave-shaped biomimetic structure, and through holes (41) are provided at its upper and lower ends respectively; the upper through hole of the solar panel (4) is connected to the first support collar (2) through a buckle (5), and the lower through hole is connected to the second support collar (3) through a buckle (5), and the through holes between two adjacent solar panels (4) are hinged to each other through a buckle (5).

[0018] In this embodiment, the tent body (1) is made of double-layer waterproof nylon material. The first support collar (2) and the second support collar (3) are fixed to the outer surface of the tent by sliding snap-fit. The collar is made of lightweight aluminum alloy to reduce the overall weight. The solar panel (4) is generally square. Its sun-facing edge is formed into a wave-shaped structure resembling bat wings through a molding process (the peak spacing is 30cm and the trough depth is 18cm). The upper and lower through holes (41) are symmetrically distributed at the four corners of the panel. The buckle (5) is an injection-molded nylon butterfly buckle. The solar panel (4) is hinged to the two support collars by passing through the through holes (41). The side through holes of adjacent solar panels (4) are connected by the buckle (5) through rotation. The wires on the solar panel (4) pass through the junction box (6) to protect the wires. During operation, after the tent is deployed, the solar panels (4) are distributed circumferentially along the support rings. The wavy edges can disperse the impact of wind on the panel surface, and the hinged buckles allow the solar panels to sway slightly under the action of wind, reducing the risk of structural stress concentration. The wavy biomimetic edge design improves wind resistance and avoids the defect of excessive windward surface of traditional flat photovoltaic panels; the double support rings fix the solar panels in different areas, optimize the weight distribution, and prevent the top of the tent from collapsing; the buckle hinges realize dynamic connection and reduce the risk of breakage caused by rigid installation.

[0019] Please see Figure 1 as well as Figure 3In another embodiment, the buckles (5) between two adjacent solar panels (4) are connected by elastic ropes (6), with the tension direction of the elastic ropes (6) forming an angle of 15°-45° with the axis of the tent body (1). The elastic ropes (6) are high-strength polyurethane fiber ropes with a diameter of 2mm. One end of the rope is fixed in the through hole in the middle of the buckle (5), and the other end is obliquely connected to the adjacent buckles (5), forming an angle of 30° with the center line of the tent body (1) (which can be adjusted to 15°-45° according to the terrain). When the wind causes the solar panels (4) to sway, the elastic ropes (6) absorb energy through elastic deformation and apply a return force to the solar panels, limiting the sway amplitude. At the same time, the oblique tension of the ropes forms a stable anti-torsion triangular structure between the adjacent panels, preventing the solar panels (4) from twisting and falling off under strong winds. The elastic ropes help constrain the movement range of the solar panels and reduce collision wear; the oblique tension enhances the overall stability and avoids local stress concentration that could lead to breakage of the collar.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 In another embodiment, the diameter of the first support collar (2) is larger than the diameter of the second support collar (3), and the cross-sections of both the first support collar (2) and the second support collar (3) are C-shaped structures with grooves on the outer side. The inner diameter of the first support collar (2) is 150 cm, and the inner diameter of the second support collar (3) is 120 cm. The difference in their outer diameters is adapted to the tapered structure that narrows from the top of the tent towards the center. The collar cross-section is C-shaped with the opening facing outward. The groove opening is 8 mm wide and 6 mm deep, matching and engaging with the annular protrusion (not shown) on the outer surface of the tent. The open design of the C-shaped structure facilitates quick assembly and disassembly of the collar, while the groove sidewall provides additional support surface, dispersing the local pressure of the collar on the tent fabric. The diameter difference matches the curvature of the tent, preventing the collar from sliding or shifting; the C-shaped groove strengthens the mechanical locking between the collar and the tent, preventing it from falling off.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 In another embodiment, the grooves of the first support collar (2) and the second support collar (3) are inlaid with buffer rubber pads (21), and the thickness of the buffer rubber pads (21) is 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the groove depth.

[0022] The cushioning rubber pad (21) is strip-shaped, with a length equal to the circumference of the collar and a thickness of 2mm (groove depth 6mm, accounting for 1 / 3). The vulcanized rubber material has a Shore hardness of 60HA. During installation, the rubber pad (21) is embedded in the bottom of the C-shaped groove, filling the gap between the collar and the outer surface of the tent, reducing friction noise between the collar and the tent, and absorbing the difference in the amount of expansion and contraction of the tent fabric due to temperature changes, preventing the collar from being excessively squeezed and deformed due to fabric shrinkage. The rubber cushioning layer reduces the hard friction between the collar and the tent, extending its service life; the elastic filling compensates for thermal expansion and contraction deformation, maintaining the stability of the collar fixation.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 In another embodiment, a 3-8cm heat dissipation gap is left between the solar panel (4) and the tent body (1). The back of the solar panel (4) is connected to the support ring by a buckle (5), and the panel is parallel to the surface of the tent body with a 5cm gap, which forms an air convection channel. Experiments have shown that under direct sunlight at noon, the air velocity in the gap can reach 0.3m / s, which reduces the working temperature of the solar panel (4) by 12-15℃, avoiding a decrease in photoelectric conversion efficiency due to high temperature. In addition, the gap space can prevent rainwater from accumulating between the panel and the tent, reducing the risk of moisture corrosion. The heat dissipation gap improves the photoelectric efficiency of the solar panel; air flow inhibits mold growth and extends the service life of the tent.

[0024] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
