Detailed Implementation
[0036] The method of using this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0037] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, an outdoor power supply with an integrated retractable solar panel includes a housing 1, a lithium battery 2, a main control board 3, a foldable solar panel 4, and a sliding solar panel 5. The lithium battery 2 is installed inside the housing 1. The main control board 3 is installed on the inner wall of the housing 1 and is electrically connected to the lithium battery 2. The foldable solar panel 4 is installed on both sides of the housing 1, and the sliding solar panel 5 is installed on the top of the housing 1.
[0038] It also includes an adjustment component 6, which is mounted on the housing 1 and connected to the folded solar panel 4. The folded solar panel 4 can be adjusted in angle and position by the adjustment component 6 so that it always faces the sun.
[0039] The main power control board 3 inside the outdoor power supply box 1 is connected to the front of the box 1 by screws, and uses some power metering circuits to monitor the power information of the lithium battery 2 inside the box 1 in real time.
[0040] Silicone pads and sponges can be placed around the lithium battery 2 inside the outdoor power supply box 1 to secure the lithium battery 2 and prevent the battery from being damaged by collisions during the power supply's movement.
[0041] like Figures 5 to 12 As shown, the adjustment assembly 6 includes an outer ring 61, an inner ring seat 62, a base plate 63, a stop block 64, a hemispherical groove 65, a knob 66, a universal ball 67, a support frame 68, and a mounting plate 69. The outer ring 61 is disposed on both sides of the housing 1, the inner ring seat 62 is disposed inside the outer ring 61, and the base plate 63 is provided on the inner ring seat 62. The base plate 63 is provided with two stop blocks 64 and a hemispherical groove 65, and the hemispherical groove 65 is located between the two stop blocks 64. The two stop blocks 64 are respectively provided with knobs 66 that pass through the stop blocks 64 and the hemispherical groove 65. The universal ball 67 is disposed inside the hemispherical groove 65, and the universal ball 67 is provided with a support frame 68. The support frame 68 is provided with a mounting plate 69, and the mounting plate 69 is connected to the folded solar panel 4.
[0042] The foldable solar panel 4 can be stored on both sides of the housing 1 via the adjusting component 6. When charging is needed, simply pull the foldable solar panel 4 out from both sides of the housing 1 until it is fully unfolded. Then, rotate the foldable solar panel 4 using the universal ball 67 so that its working surface faces upwards, allowing it to fully absorb sunlight for charging. If the intensity of sunlight changes over time, causing the charging effect in a fixed direction to weaken, simply rotate the foldable solar panel 4 to adjust it to the optimal angle. The foldable solar panel 4 will then be fixed at that angle, ensuring the best charging effect.
[0043] After the folding solar panel 4 is adjusted, the universal ball 67 can be fixed by the knob 66 to ensure that the support frame 68 on the universal ball 67 will not deflect, so that the sunlight can fully shine on the folding solar panel 4.
[0044] like Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the inner wall of the outer ring 61 is provided with an annular groove 611, and the outer wall of the inner ring 62 is provided with an annular protrusion 621, and the annular protrusion 621 and the annular groove 611 cooperate with each other.
[0045] like Figure 7 As shown, the hemispherical groove 65 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 651, which is located on the vertical line of the axis of the two knobs 66.
[0046] This is so that when the folding solar panel 4 is folded up, the support frame 68 can enter the arc-shaped groove 651, thereby ensuring that the entire folding solar panel 4 can be stored on both sides of the box 1.
[0047] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 12As shown, the support frame 68 is an isosceles triangle structure. The two ends of the base of the support frame 68 triangle are provided with extensions 681. The mounting plate 69 is provided with a shaft hole 691 on one side. The extensions 681 and the shaft hole 691 cooperate with each other.
[0048] It should be noted that there is a certain friction between the shaft hole 691 and the extension 681. When adjusting the folding solar panel 4, it can ensure that the angle of the folding solar panel 4 will not be shifted due to the weight of the folding solar panel 4 itself. This allows the folding solar panel 4 to be unfolded and folded. At the same time, the angle of the folding solar panel 4 can be adjusted so that it can fully absorb sunlight for charging.
[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 13 As shown, the top of the box 1 is provided with a rectangular cavity 11, and two U-shaped slide rails 12 are provided in the rectangular cavity 11. The two U-shaped slide rails 12 are respectively connected to the sliding solar panel 5.
[0050] The rectangular cavity 11 is located at the front and rear of the box 1, and the sliding solar panel 5 is placed in the rectangular cavity 11 at the top of the box 1. Two U-shaped slide rails 12 are fixed on both sides of the rectangular cavity 11 by four screws, so that the sliding solar panel 5 can be pulled out when needed and stored inside the box 1 when not needed.
[0051] The folding direction of the folding solar panel 4 is different from the sliding direction of the sliding solar panel 5.
[0052] The folding solar panel 4 is located on both sides of the housing 1. This is to prevent the sliding solar panel 5 from sliding out and blocking the folding solar panel 4 after it is unfolded. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the folding solar panel 4 and the sliding solar panel 5 are in different directions.
[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, one side surface of the housing 1 is provided with a display screen 13, a USB interface 14, a TYPEC interface 15 and a mains power interface 16.
[0054] The outdoor power supply charges the lithium battery 2 inside the box 1 through the charging port at the lower left corner of the rear of the box 1. After charging is complete, it can be taken out to power other devices.
[0055] The communication interface and power interface of the display screen 13 on the front of the power supply box 1 are connected to the main control board 3 via ribbon cables. The main control board 3 feeds back the collected power information to the display screen 13 for display.
[0056] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the housing 1 is equipped with a fan 17 inside, and the fan 17 is electrically connected to the main control board 3. The top of the housing 1 is equipped with a handle 18.
[0057] The two integrated fans 17 inside the outdoor power supply are connected to the rear of the casing 1 by screws, and their power cords are connected to the main power control board 3. Their main function is to provide heat dissipation for the internal lithium battery 2 and control board, and the handle 18 makes it easy to carry.
[0058] Working process: During use, the sliding solar panel 5 can first be pulled out of the rectangular cavity 11. The sliding solar panel 5 slides on the U-shaped slide rail 12 and extends outward. Then, pull the folding solar panel 4. The folding solar panel 4 will drive the universal ball 67 on the support frame 68 to rotate in the hemispherical groove 65, thereby unfolding the folding solar panel 4 and adjusting it to be flush with the sliding solar panel 5. Then, by tightening the knob 66, the universal ball 67 is fixed, so that the folding solar panel 4 is always in the unfolded state and can fully absorb sunlight for charging.
[0059] When the angle of sunlight changes, the deflection angle of the folded solar panel 4 can be adjusted by loosening knob 66 and then rotating it, so that the inner ring 62 rotates on the outer ring 61 and aligns with the position of sunlight. Finally, the knob 66 is tightened to fix the universal ball 67, thereby ensuring the stability of the folded solar panel 4 and ensuring that the folded solar panel 4 is at the optimal angle, which greatly improves the charging efficiency.
[0060] During storage, push the sliding solar panel 5 to move on the U-shaped slide rail 12, so that the sliding solar panel 5 enters the rectangular cavity 11. Then, loosen the knob 66, pull the folding solar panel 4, and fold the support frame 68 inward so that the support frame 68 is located inside the folding solar panel 4. At the same time, the triangular top of the support frame 68 and the universal ball 67 will enter the arc groove 651 and cooperate with the arc groove 651. The extension 681 on the support frame 68 will also rotate in the shaft hole 691 on the mounting plate 69, so that the folding solar panel 4 is completely attached to the side of the box 1, completing the storage of the sliding solar panel 5 and the folding solar panel 4.
[0061] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. However, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
