[0033] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this application provides a photovoltaic power generation device, which includes a flexible photovoltaic panel 1, a pull rod 2, and a winding mechanism 3. The flexible photovoltaic panel 1 is specifically a flexible perovskite photovoltaic panel, which can be bent and wound around a rotating shaft 32. The flexible photovoltaic panel 1 converts solar energy into electrical energy through the photoelectric effect. One end of the flexible photovoltaic panel 1 is fixedly connected to the pull rod 2, which serves as a user operating component, allowing the user to pull the flexible photovoltaic panel 1 out of the housing 31 and unfold it, thereby realizing the photovoltaic power generation function. The winding mechanism 3 consists of a housing 31 and a rotating shaft 32, wherein the rotating shaft 32 is rotatably installed inside the housing 31, and the other end of the flexible photovoltaic panel 1 is connected to the rotating shaft 32. By rotating the rotating shaft 32, the flexible photovoltaic panel 1 can be wound into the housing 31 for storage; conversely, by rotating the rotating shaft 32 in the opposite direction or pulling the pull rod 2, the flexible photovoltaic panel 1 can extend out of the housing 31 and unfold for photovoltaic power generation. This photovoltaic power generation device not only solves the problems of traditional photovoltaic panels being difficult to store and occupying a lot of space, but also significantly improves the portability and applicability of the device through the rollable characteristics of the flexible photovoltaic sheet 1, enabling it to adapt to a variety of complex environments and usage scenarios.

[0034] In one specific embodiment of this application, the winding mechanism 3 further includes a rotation angle locking component 33, which is disposed at one axial end of the rotating shaft 32 to precisely lock the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 32. The rotation angle locking component 33 cooperates with the rotating shaft 32 mechanically or electromagnetically, and can lock the rotating shaft 32 at a specific rotation angle position according to actual needs during user operation. When the rotating shaft 32 is locked, the extended length of the flexible photovoltaic panel 1 is fixed, thereby ensuring that the flexible photovoltaic panel 1 maintains a stable working posture in the unfolded state. This design can not only effectively prevent the flexible photovoltaic panel 1 from accidentally rewinding or over-unfolding due to external wind or other external forces, but also flexibly adjust the unfolded area of ​​the flexible photovoltaic panel 1 according to different lighting conditions or usage scenarios to optimize photovoltaic power generation efficiency. In addition, the rotation angle locking component 33 has a simple structure and is easy to operate. Users can quickly lock and unlock the rotating shaft 32 through manual or automatic control, further improving the ease of use and reliability of the device.

[0035] In one specific embodiment of this application, the rotation angle locking assembly 33 specifically includes a ratchet 331 and a pawl 332. The ratchet 331 is fixedly connected to one axial end of the rotating shaft 32 and is coaxially arranged with the rotating shaft 32, so that the ratchet 331 can rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 32. The pawl 332 is movably connected to the housing 31 by hinge or sliding, and its position corresponds to the ratchet 331 so as to engage or disengage with the ratchet 331. When the pawl 332 engages with the ratchet 331, the rotation of the ratchet 331 is restricted, thereby locking the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 32 and keeping the extension length of the flexible photovoltaic panel 1 stable; when the pawl 332 disengages from the ratchet 331, the rotating shaft 32 can rotate freely to realize the winding or unfolding of the flexible photovoltaic panel 1. The tooth profile design of the ratchet 331 can be adjusted according to actual needs to achieve different precision angle locking effects. Furthermore, the operation of the pawl 332 can be achieved manually or automatically, for example, by controlling its engagement with the ratchet 331 through a spring mechanism or electromagnetic drive device, thereby improving the convenience and reliability of operation. This rotation angle locking assembly 33 has a simple structure and is easy to implement, effectively meeting the stability and flexibility requirements of photovoltaic power generation devices in different application scenarios.

[0036] In one specific embodiment of this application, the rotation angle locking assembly 33 further includes a first elastic element 333. One end of the first elastic element 333 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 31, and the other end is connected to the pawl 332, providing continuous elastic support force to the pawl 332 to ensure that the pawl 332 and the ratchet 331 maintain a stable engagement state. The first elastic element 333 can be a coil spring, torsion spring, or other components with elastic recovery function, and its elastic coefficient can be selected according to actual needs to balance the relationship between locking force and ease of operation. When the pawl 332 is engaged with the ratchet 331, the elastic force of the first elastic element 333 can effectively prevent the pawl 332 from accidentally disengaging from the ratchet 331 due to external vibration or impact, thereby enhancing the reliability and stability of the rotation angle locking assembly 33.

[0037] In one specific embodiment of this application, the winding mechanism 3 further includes an unlocking component 34, which is used to drive the pawl 332 to separate from the ratchet 331 so that the rotating shaft 32 can rotate freely to realize the winding or unfolding of the flexible photovoltaic sheet 1.

[0038] In one specific embodiment of this application, the unlocking component 34 includes an unlocking button 341 and a second spring 342. The unlocking button 341 is movably connected to the housing 31 by sliding, with one end extending outside the housing 31 for user operation, and the other end contacting a pawl 332. When the user presses the unlocking button 341, the pawl 332 is driven to separate from the ratchet 331, thereby releasing the rotation restriction on the rotating shaft 32. One end of the second spring 342 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 31, and the other end is connected to the unlocking button 341. It provides a reset force after the unlocking button 341 is pressed, allowing it to automatically return to its initial position. The second spring 342 can be a compression spring, a tension spring, or other components with elastic recovery function. Its elastic coefficient can be selected according to the operating force requirements to ensure the smoothness of the unlocking operation and the reset accuracy. When the user presses the unlock button 341, the second spring 342 is compressed or stretched, and the pawl 332 separates from the ratchet 331, allowing the shaft 32 to rotate freely. When the user releases the unlock button 341, the elastic force of the second spring 342 drives the unlock button 341 to reset, and the pawl 332 re-engages with the ratchet 331 under the action of the first elastic element 333, restoring the locking function of the shaft 32.

[0039] In one specific embodiment of this application, the end of the unlock button 341 is provided with a first inclined surface, and the corresponding position of the pawl 332 is provided with a second inclined surface. The first and second inclined surfaces are slidably in contact with each other, forming an inclined surface engagement structure. When the user presses the unlock button 341, the unlock button 341 moves towards the pawl 332, and the first and second inclined surfaces slide relative to each other. The first inclined surface presses against the second inclined surface through its inclined surface force, causing the pawl 332 to move to one side, thereby disengaging from the ratchet 331 and unlocking the rotating shaft 32. When the user releases the unlock button 341, the unlock button 341 moves away from the pawl 332 under the elastic restoring force of the second spring 342, and the first and second inclined surfaces gradually separate. At the same time, the pawl 332 moves towards the ratchet 331 under the elastic support force of the first elastic element 333 until the pawl 332 re-engages with the ratchet 331, restoring the function of locking the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 32. In addition, the design of the ramp angle can be optimized according to actual needs to balance the relationship between operating force and locking force.

[0040] In one specific embodiment of this application, the winding mechanism 3 further includes a rotary reset component 35, which is used to drive the rotating shaft 32 to rotate automatically in order to realize the automatic winding function of the flexible photovoltaic sheet 1.

[0041] In one specific embodiment of this application, the rotary reset assembly 35 specifically includes a coil spring 352 and a fixed base 351, wherein one end of the coil spring 352 is connected to the fixed base 351, and the other end of the coil spring 352 is connected to the ratchet 331. The fixed base 351 is fixedly installed inside the housing 31. When the flexible photovoltaic panel 1 is pulled out of the housing 31, the rotating shaft 32 drives the ratchet 331 to rotate, and drives the coil spring 352 to coil up, storing elastic potential energy; when the user releases the pull rod 2 or unlocks the rotation angle locking assembly 33, the coil spring 352 releases its elastic potential energy, driving the ratchet 331 and the rotating shaft 32 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby automatically winding the flexible photovoltaic panel 1 back into the housing 31. The elastic coefficient of the coil spring 352 can be optimized according to the length and weight of the flexible photovoltaic panel 1 to ensure the smoothness and reliability of the winding process and avoid affecting the normal use of the device due to excessively fast or slow winding speed.

[0042] In one specific embodiment of this application, the photovoltaic power generation device further includes an energy storage battery (not shown). The energy storage battery is fixedly installed inside the housing 31 and electrically connected to the flexible photovoltaic panel 1 via wires, for storing the electrical energy generated by the flexible photovoltaic panel 1 under sunlight conditions. The energy storage battery can be a lithium-ion battery, a nickel-metal hydride battery, or other types of rechargeable batteries, and its capacity and specifications can be selected according to actual application needs to meet the energy storage requirements in different scenarios. After the flexible photovoltaic panel 1 converts solar energy into electrical energy under sunlight conditions, the electrical energy is transmitted to the energy storage battery via wires for storage, so as to supply power to external loads when there is no sunlight or insufficient sunlight.

[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
