Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container technology, and in particular to an all-weather green power supply structure for intelligent containers. Background Technology

[0002] A container, also known as a shipping container, is a large cargo container with a certain strength, rigidity, and specifications designed for repeated use. Using containers for cargo transport allows for direct loading at the shipper's warehouse and unloading at the consignee's warehouse. When changing vehicles or ships en route, the goods do not need to be unpacked and reloaded. Therefore, the container is a great invention. The greatest success of the container lies in its standardization and the resulting comprehensive transportation system. The ability to standardize a massive container weighing tens of tons, and to gradually build a global logistics system integrating ships, ports, shipping routes, highways, transfer stations, bridges, tunnels, and multimodal transport, is truly one of the greatest miracles created by humankind in history.

[0003] There are many types of containers, and they can be classified in various ways. The following classification methods exist: dry cargo containers, bulk cargo containers, liquid cargo containers, refrigerated containers, and some special-purpose containers, such as automobile containers, livestock containers, and hide containers.

[0004] Internationally, the commonly used dry containers are: 20 feet x 8 feet x 8 feet 6 inches (20-foot container); 40 feet x 8 feet x 8 feet 6 inches (40-foot container); and 40 feet x 8 feet x 9 feet 6 inches (40-foot high cube container). Dry containers currently make up the vast majority of shipping containers.

[0005] With the development of intelligent technology, improving the convenience of container transportation requires the supervision of the entire container transportation process. However, such supervision necessitates that containers possess electrical power; otherwise, the supervision of the entire container transportation process becomes meaningless.

[0006] In order to enable containers to have electrical power, many inventors in the industry have proposed timed and fixed-point charging for containers, but this is a huge project with a high investment, and it is currently difficult to promote it widely.

[0007] Some inventors have proposed using solar panels mounted on shipping containers to charge batteries within the containers. However, these solar panels are typically ordinary monocrystalline silicon panels, which require sunlight to charge and cannot generate electricity, especially during rainy days. Furthermore, to maximize sunlight absorption, monocrystalline silicon solar panels are usually mounted on the top surface of the container. For example, Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN208102854U discloses a dry cargo container where the solar panels are fixed to the outer surface of the top panel; similarly, Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN207861006U discloses another dry cargo container where the solar panels are also fixed to the outer surface of the top panel. This method of solar panel installation has the following problems: firstly, when these dry cargo containers are stacked, the upper containers may obscure the solar panels, making the solar panels on the lower containers invisible; secondly, solar panels mounted on the container top are easily damaged and unable to generate electricity. Utility Model Content

[0008] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an intelligent container all-weather green power supply structure that is low in cost, can generate electricity around the clock, and whose solar panels are not easily damaged by the above-mentioned shortcomings of existing container power generation.

[0009] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution:

[0010] An all-weather green power supply structure for an intelligent shipping container includes a shipping container and a rechargeable battery installed inside the container, wherein the rechargeable battery supplies power to devices inside the container; characterized in that it further includes at least one low-light charging plate, wherein the low-light charging plate is disposed on the outer surface of the shipping container, and the low-light charging plate is electrically connected to the rechargeable battery through a charging device, wherein the low-light charging plate can output current to charge the rechargeable battery as long as there is light.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the low-light charging panel is a thin-film solar cell charging panel, an organic solar cell charging panel, or a compound semiconductor battery charging panel.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the compound semiconductor battery charging board is a cadmium telluride semiconductor battery charging board, a copper indium gallium selenide semiconductor battery charging board, a gallium arsenide semiconductor battery charging board, or a perovskite semiconductor battery charging board.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a protective device is installed on the outside of the low-light charging panel to prevent the low-light charging panel from being damaged by external objects.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a reinforcing support rod is installed on each side of the protective device, and the protective device is connected to the reinforcing support rod. The two ends of the reinforcing support rod are connected to the container frame or door frame, so that the external impact force borne by the protective device is transmitted to the container frame or door frame through the reinforcing support rod, thereby reducing the damage caused by the impact force.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the low-light charging plate and protective device are disposed on the side wall, top wall or rear wall of the container.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the low-light charging panel and protective device can be installed on the ventilation port of the container.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the low-light charging plate and protective device are disposed on the front door of the container, and the low-light charging plate and protective device are located behind the locking bar of the front door.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, there are two or more low-light charging panels, which are connected in parallel to charge the battery. In this way, even if one low-light charging panel is damaged, the remaining low-light charging panels can still charge the battery.

[0019] Thanks to the above technical solution, the low-light charging panel of this invention can output current to charge the rechargeable battery as long as there is light. Furthermore, the protective device installed on the low-light charging panel prevents it from being damaged by impact.

[0020] Furthermore, this invention utilizes low-light power generation, similar to how smart containers stored and transported outdoors generate electricity when exposed to light. Power generation is unaffected by any weather conditions, including sunlight, diffused light on cloudy days, artificial light, and moonlight.

[0021] In addition, this utility model adopts a parallel power generation and supply method. The low light charging board can be divided into several groups to generate power in parallel. If one low light charging board is damaged, the other low light charging boards can continue to charge the rechargeable battery, and there will be no immediate power outage.

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] See Figure 1 The all-weather green power supply structure of the intelligent container in this embodiment includes a container 10 and a rechargeable battery disposed within the container 10. The rechargeable battery powers the devices inside the container.

[0029] This embodiment also includes at least one low-light charging panel 30, which is disposed on the outer surface of the rear wall 11 of the container 10. It is electrically connected to a rechargeable battery via a charging device. This low-light charging panel 30 can output current to charge the rechargeable battery as long as there is light. Using low-light power generation means that the smart container, stored and transported in the open, generates electricity when exposed to light. Power generation is unaffected by any weather conditions, including sunlight, diffused light on cloudy days, artificial light, and moonlight.

[0030] The low-light charging panel 30 is a thin-film solar cell charging panel, an organic solar cell charging panel, or a compound semiconductor battery charging panel. The compound semiconductor battery charging panel is a cadmium telluride semiconductor battery charging panel, a copper indium gallium selenide semiconductor battery charging panel, a gallium arsenide semiconductor battery charging panel, or a perovskite semiconductor battery charging panel.

[0031] In addition, a protective device 40 is installed on the outside of the low-light charging panel 30 to prevent it from being damaged by external objects. The protective device 40 consists of multiple railings 41 installed on the outer surface of the rear wall 11 of the container 10 and located on the outer surface of the low-light charging panel 30. Furthermore, a reinforcing support rod 50 is installed on each side of the protective device 40, connecting the protective device 40 to the reinforcing support rod 50. The two ends of the reinforcing support rod 50 are connected to the container frame 12, so that the external impact force borne by the protective device 40 is transferred to the container frame through the reinforcing support rod 50, reducing the damage caused by the impact force.

[0032] The low-light charging panel 30 consists of two or more panels connected in parallel to charge the battery. This ensures that even if one low-light charging panel 30 fails, the remaining panels can still charge the rechargeable battery. By employing a parallel power generation method, the low-light charging panels can be divided into several groups connected in parallel to generate power. If one low-light charging panel 30 fails, the others continue to supply power, preventing immediate power outages.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] See Figure 2The difference between the all-weather green power supply structure of the intelligent container in this embodiment and that in Embodiment 1 is that the low-light charging panel 30a and the protective device 40a are installed on the outer surface of the top wall 12 of the container 10. The protective device 40a consists of multiple railings 41a installed on the outer surface of the top wall 12 of the container 10. In addition, a reinforcing support rod 50a is installed on each side of the protective device 40a, and the protective device 40a is connected to the reinforcing support rod 50a. The two ends of the reinforcing support rod 50a are connected to the container frame 12a, so that the external impact force borne by the protective device 40a is transferred to the container frame 12a through the reinforcing support rod 50a, thereby reducing the damage caused by the impact force.

In addition, a reinforcing support rod 50b is installed on each side of the protective device 40b, and the protective device 40b is connected to the reinforcing support rod 50b. The two ends of the reinforcing support rod 50b are connected to the container frame 12a, so that the external impact force borne by the protective device 40b is transferred to the container frame 12a through the reinforcing support rod 50b, thereby reducing the damage caused by the impact force.

[0038] The rest of the structure of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1.

[0039] Example 4

[0040] See Figure 4 The difference between the all-weather green power supply structure of the intelligent container in this embodiment and the all-weather green power supply structure of the intelligent container in Embodiment 1 is that the low-light charging plate 30d and the protective device 40d are set on the front door 15 of the container 10, and the low-light charging plate 30d and the protective device 40d are located behind the locking bar 16 of the front door 15.

[0041] In addition, a reinforcing support rod 50d is installed on each side of the protective device 40d and the protective device 40d is connected to the reinforcing support rod 50d. The two ends of the reinforcing support rod 50d are connected to the door frame 15a of the front door 15, so that the external impact force borne by the protective device 40d is transmitted to the door frame 15a of the front door 15 through the reinforcing support rod 50d, thereby reducing the damage caused by the external impact force.
