Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of organic solar cell panels, specifically an umbrella-type organic solar cell folding charging panel. Background Technology

[0002] An umbrella is a tool that provides shade or shelter from rain, and it is an indispensable tool in our daily lives. In today's society, there are increasingly more types of umbrellas, such as parasols and folding umbrellas; they play a very important role in people's lives and bring great convenience. With the development of new energy technologies, solar energy modules are being used more and more widely in electrical equipment. Currently, umbrellas only have the simple function of providing shade and rain protection. When we go out and encounter sunny weather, we use umbrellas, which shield us from the sun, but the energy emitted by the sun is wasted. Currently, solar charging panels are not integrated into umbrellas. There is a need for an umbrella with a folding solar charging panel so that the solar panel can be used as an umbrella, and can also absorb the energy emitted by the sun, converting it into electrical energy for storage or direct use. This would effectively utilize resources and save energy. It can block sunlight, absorb solar energy, and also function as a charger, with a simple structure, convenient use, and wide applicability.

[0003] However, existing solar umbrellas have certain drawbacks in use. The solar panels are large and heavy, making them difficult to carry. The solar panels do not have a protective film, which can easily cause scratches and damage when storing and folding the umbrella. Furthermore, the use of solar panels as the umbrella's sunshade and rain shield also presents challenges. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an umbrella-shaped organic solar cell folding charging panel.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0024] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0025] Example: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, this utility model discloses a foldable organic solar cell charging panel for umbrellas, comprising an umbrella body 1 having an umbrella surface 2 and a support rod 3. The umbrella surface 2 is characterized by being covered with flexible solar panels 4, with the joints between adjacent flexible solar panels 4 coinciding with the folding points of the umbrella surface 2. Each flexible solar panel 4 includes a flexible substrate layer 5 disposed on the upper surface of the waterproof fabric of the umbrella surface 2. The flexible substrate layer 5 is provided with an organic material layer 6, and the thin film of the organic material layer 6 is provided with a transparent thin film layer 7. Because the flexible solar panels 4 are laid on the umbrella surface 2, and the joints between adjacent flexible solar panels 4 coincide with the folding points of the umbrella surface 2, the flexible solar panels are not damaged during the folding process. The solar panel 4 suffered severe bending damage. The flexible solar panel includes a flexible substrate layer 5 disposed on the upper surface of the waterproof cloth of the umbrella 2. The flexible substrate layer 5 is provided with an organic material layer 6, and the thin film of the organic material layer 6 is provided with a transparent thin film layer 7. The organic material is synthesized by spin coating or magnetron sputtering and attached to a rigid or flexible substrate. After film formation, it is encapsulated with materials such as ETFE to form an organic solar cell. Organic solar cells have a high light absorption coefficient and the amount of raw materials used is significantly reduced compared to crystalline silicon materials. Therefore, they can be prepared on flexible substrates, thereby reducing costs and solving the defects of high cost and single use of the original crystalline silicon solar cells. They also have a lighter weight and are less prone to fatigue.

[0026] The organic material layer 9 is one of P3HT (poly-3-hexylthiophene) or PTB7-Th (wide bandgap polymer). A lamination method combining a high-transmittance, corrosion-resistant, and long-life ETFE (PET and other transparent films) high-transmittance protective film, organic solar cells, and polymer composite materials improves the transmittance of the ultra-lightweight module, thereby increasing the power generation efficiency of the solar module.

[0027] The support rod 3 has a handle 8 at its end. The handle 8 has an internal cavity 9 containing a charging circuit board 10 and a battery 19. The battery 19 is connected to the flexible solar panel 4 and stores the electrical energy generated by the flexible solar panel 4. The handle 8 also has a charging interface 11, which is connected to the battery 19 via the charging circuit board 10. The bottom of the handle 8 has a directional adjustable light 12 connected to the battery. By placing the battery 19 on the handle 8, the electrical energy generated by the flexible solar panel 4 can be stored, and the charging interface 11 and the charging circuit board can charge external electronic devices.

[0028] The lighting fixture includes two vertically downward-facing support bases 13 located at the bottom end of the grip 8. A flip-up housing 18 is mounted between the two support bases 13 via a damping shaft 14. An LED bulb 15 is installed inside the flip-up housing 18, and a transparent protective cover 16 is provided in front of the LED bulb 15. An adjustable lighting fixture 12 connected to a battery 19 is located at the bottom of the grip 8. The flip-up housing 18, with its LED bulb 15 installed inside, is mounted between the two support bases 13 via the damping shaft 14, facilitating adjustment of the lighting angle.

[0029] The flip-up housing 18 has an external end that passes through the flip-up housing 18 and is connected to the LED beads, which facilitates the control of the lighting.

[0030] The flip-up housing 18 is spherical, facilitating rotation and ensuring it doesn't obstruct the umbrella's normal opening. The inner lining of the umbrella canopy 2 has a heat-insulating layer for insulation. Multiple charging ports 11 are provided.

[0031] During operation, this umbrella-type organic solar cell folding charging panel has flexible solar panels 4 laid on the umbrella surface 2. The joints between adjacent flexible solar panels 4 coincide with the folding points of the umbrella surface 2. This prevents severe bending damage to the flexible solar panels 4 during the folding process of the umbrella. The neutral solar panel includes a flexible substrate layer 5 disposed on the upper surface of the waterproof fabric of the umbrella surface 2. The flexible substrate layer 5 is provided with an organic material layer 6, and the thin film of the organic material layer 6 is provided with a transparent thin film layer 7. The organic material is synthesized by spin coating or magnetron sputtering and attached to a rigid or flexible substrate to form a film. Then, ETFE and other materials are used for encapsulation to form organic solar cells. Organic solar cells have a high light absorption coefficient and the amount of raw materials used is significantly reduced compared to crystalline silicon materials. Therefore, they can be fabricated on flexible substrates, thereby reducing costs and solving the defects of high cost and single application of the original crystalline silicon solar cells. They also have a lighter weight and are less likely to cause fatigue. An adjustable light lamp 12 connected to the battery 19 is provided at the bottom of the handle 8. A flip-up housing 18 is installed between two support seats 13 through a damping shaft 14, and LED beads 15 are installed inside the flip-up housing 18, which makes it easy to adjust the lighting angle.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing 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.
