[0032] With the rapid development of renewable energy technologies, photovoltaic (PV) technology is being applied more and more widely in various fields. In the field of solar PV applications, PV shading structures are widely used because they can generate electricity while blocking sunlight. In related technologies, PV shading structures include a frame structure, PV modules, and energy storage modules. The PV modules are mounted on the frame structure, while the energy storage modules are independently mounted outside the frame structure and electrically connected to the PV modules. However, the independent mounting of the energy storage modules results in lower integration of the PV shading structure, which is detrimental to the overall compactness of the structure. To address these issues, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 This application provides a photovoltaic sunshade 1000.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 The photovoltaic shading canopy 1000 of the present application includes a frame structure 100 and photovoltaic modules 300.

[0034] The photovoltaic awning 1000 is a photovoltaic product that can generate electricity using solar energy while also providing shade, heat insulation, and rain protection. The photovoltaic awning 1000 can be applied to outdoor public areas, the perimeter of large commercial facilities, or the courtyards of private residences. For example, the photovoltaic awning 1000 can be installed on a rooftop for use as a shading facility; or, the photovoltaic awning 1000 can be installed in a courtyard for use as a awning.

[0035] The frame structure 100 is a structure in the photovoltaic awning 1000 that provides installation and support for the photovoltaic modules 300. The frame structure 100 can be made of metallic and / or non-metallic materials. Metallic materials include, but are not limited to, aluminum, iron, steel, or aluminum alloys, while non-metallic materials include, but are not limited to, plastics. For example, the frame structure 100 can be made of metallic materials, such as aluminum alloy, which improves the structural strength of the frame structure 100, enhances the photovoltaic awning 1000's ability to withstand external environmental conditions (such as wind, rain, and snow), and ensures the stability and reliability of the photovoltaic awning 1000's operation. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the overall shape of the frame structure 100 may include, but is not limited to, square, cylindrical, and rhomboid shapes. This allows the frame structure 100 to adapt to the installation of photovoltaic modules 300 of different sizes and shapes.

[0036] The photovoltaic module 300 is a structure in the photovoltaic shading canopy 1000 that converts solar energy into electrical energy. The photovoltaic module 300 can be installed on top of the frame structure 100 or at a specific mounting location on the frame structure 100. In some embodiments of this application, the photovoltaic module 300 includes a photovoltaic panel for converting solar energy into electrical energy. The photovoltaic panel can be different types of solar energy conversion devices such as monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, or thin-film solar cells. Users can select photovoltaic panels of different efficiencies and sizes according to their needs and the frame structure 100.

[0037] In some embodiments, the photovoltaic module 300 can be installed on the frame structure 100 using a detachable connection method, which facilitates the removal of the photovoltaic module 300 from the frame structure 100 when maintenance or replacement is required. The detachable connection method includes, but is not limited to, bolt connections and snap-fit ​​connections. In other embodiments, the photovoltaic module 300 can be installed on the frame structure 100 using a non-detachable connection method, which improves the bonding strength between the photovoltaic module 300 and the frame structure 100, enhances the photovoltaic shading canopy 1000's ability to resist external environmental factors, and ensures the stability and reliability of the photovoltaic shading canopy 1000's operation. The non-detachable connection method includes, but is not limited to, bonding or welding.

[0038] Please continue reading. Figure 1 In some embodiments, the frame structure 100 includes a plurality of frame components 10, a plurality of column components 30, and an energy storage component 40. The frame components 10 are used to mount the photovoltaic modules 300; the column components 30 include columns 31, the upper end of which ( Figure 1 The uppermost part of the central column 31 is used for detachable connection with the two adjacent frame components 10, and the lower part of the column 31 ( Figure 1 The lowest end of the central column 31 is used to connect to the surface to be fixed. The energy storage component 40 is detachably disposed inside the column 31 and includes at least two energy storage units 41, both of which are electrically connected to the photovoltaic module 300. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the surface to be fixed includes, but is not limited to, the ground or roof.

[0039] It is understandable that the frame component 10 is a structure within the frame structure 100 used for encapsulating and fixing the photovoltaic module 300. Please refer to... Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, multiple frame components 10 can enclose a first space 110, which is used to install photovoltaic modules 300. In other words, photovoltaic modules 300 can be installed within the first space 110 formed by multiple frame components 10 connected end to end, and the periphery of photovoltaic modules 300 can be connected to the frame components 10, thereby ensuring the stability of photovoltaic modules 300 installed in the frame structure 100. The frame components 10 can be made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials, such as aluminum alloy, to meet the long-term outdoor usage requirements of the frame structure 100. The cross-sectional shape of the first space 110 can be a regular shape such as square, circle, triangle, or rhombus, or it can be an irregular shape. In this embodiment, only a square cross-sectional shape of the first space 110 is used as an example. In this case, there can be four frame components 10, and the four frame components 10 together enclose the first space 110.

[0040] The support column assembly 30 is a structure used to fix and support the entire frame structure 100. When the cross-sectional shape of the first space 110 is square, four support column assemblies 30 may be included, with each assembly positioned at one of the four corners of the first space 110, thereby providing stable support for the frame assembly 10. The support column assembly 30 may be made of steel, aluminum alloy, or concrete, ensuring sufficient load-bearing capacity and stability, thus guaranteeing the safety and reliability of the photovoltaic awning 1000 during long-term use.

[0041] The photovoltaic module 300 is electrically connected to the energy storage unit 41. The energy storage unit 41 can store the electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic module 300 and can supply power to electrical loads such as household appliances and portable devices. The energy storage unit 41 and the photovoltaic module 300 can be directly connected via cables, or they can be connected via intermediate devices such as junction boxes or combiner boards. It should be noted that the energy storage unit 41 can be a lithium-ion battery, a lead-acid battery, or other types of rechargeable batteries.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, the energy storage component 40 is detachably disposed within the column 31 and includes at least two energy storage units 41. Thus, the energy storage component 40 can be used either inside the column 31 or detached from the column 31 for independent use, thereby effectively meeting the user's needs.

[0043] Specifically, in some embodiments, the energy storage component 40 can be disassembled either entirely or partially. When the energy storage component 40 is disassembled entirely, at least two energy storage units 41 are removed from the column 31 and used as independent devices; when the energy storage component 40 is partially disassembled, at least two of the energy storage units 41 are removed from the column 31 and used as independent devices, while the other part of the energy storage unit 41 can still operate normally within the column 31.

[0044] In some embodiments, the multiple column components 30 have the same length. Therefore, when the gravity and / or external load of the photovoltaic module 300 acts on the column components 30, the multiple column components 30 can transmit and distribute the pressure more evenly, achieving a uniform pressure distribution, thereby improving the structural stability of the frame structure 100.

[0045] In other embodiments, at least some of the column assemblies 30 have different lengths. This allows for the selection of column assemblies 30 of appropriate length based on the actual usage environment of the photovoltaic awning 1000, thereby improving the applicability of the photovoltaic awning 1000. For example, when the cross-sectional shape of the first space 110 is rectangular, the two column assemblies 30 connected to the frame assembly 10 forming the short side of the first space 110 have different lengths, while the two column assemblies 30 connected to the frame assembly 10 forming the long side of the first space 110 have the same length. Thus, when the photovoltaic module 300 is installed in the first space 110, the photovoltaic module 300 is tilted relative to the horizontal plane (the plane perpendicular to the direction of gravity).

[0046] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the frame structure 100 also includes a beam assembly 50, the two opposite ends of which are connected to two opposite frame assemblies 10, and divide the first space 110 into a plurality of second spaces 130, the second spaces 130 being used to install the photovoltaic module 300.

[0047] The crossbeam assembly 50 is a structural element in the frame structure 100 that serves to strengthen and support the structure. The crossbeam assembly 50 connects two opposing frame assemblies 10 to form a stable support structure, thereby facilitating more stable mounting of the photovoltaic modules 300. Specifically, the crossbeam assembly 50 divides the first space 110 into multiple second spaces 130, allowing the photovoltaic modules 300 to be independently installed and supported within the second spaces 130. This not only improves the stability of the photovoltaic awning 1000 but also more effectively utilizes the overall space enclosed by the frame assemblies 10 (i.e., the first space 110), maximizing the number of photovoltaic modules 300 that can be installed and increasing the power generation capacity of the photovoltaic awning 1000.

[0048] In the photovoltaic shading canopy 1000 of this application embodiment, the upper end of the column 31 is detachably connected to two adjacent frame components 10, the lower end of the column 31 is connected to the surface to be fixed, and the energy storage component 40 includes at least two energy storage units 41, which are detachably disposed in the column 31. This can improve the integration of the photovoltaic shading canopy 1000 and reduce external components, thereby making the overall structure of the photovoltaic shading canopy 1000 more compact. On the other hand, the column 31 can provide protection for the energy storage component 40, reduce the possibility of damage to the energy storage component 40 caused by external environmental factors, and extend the service life of the energy storage component 40.

[0049] In addition, when the energy storage unit 41 is removed from the column 31, the energy storage unit 41 can be used as an independent device. In this case, the energy storage unit 41 can be used for outdoor camping, daily household use, outdoor rescue, etc. Thus, the energy storage unit 41 can be used inside the column 31 or removed from the column 31 for independent use, thereby effectively meeting the user's needs.

[0050] In addition, the two ends of the crossbeam assembly 50 are respectively connected to the two opposite frame assemblies 10. In this way, the crossbeam assembly 50 can serve as a lateral support for the frame structure 100, which can significantly enhance the overall stability and load-bearing capacity of the frame structure 100. This allows the photovoltaic awning 1000 to more effectively resist the external environment and improve the stability and reliability of the photovoltaic awning 1000.

[0051] The photovoltaic sunshade 1000 will be further explained below with reference to the attached diagram.

[0052] Please see Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments, the energy storage unit 41 is provided with a socket 411 for powering the electrical equipment to connect to the energy storage unit 41; the energy storage assembly 40 also includes a protective member 43, which is movably connected to the energy storage unit 41 and is used to selectively cover or open the socket 411.

[0053] It should be noted that the socket 411 includes, but is not limited to, two-prong sockets, three-prong sockets, multi-prong sockets, and USB sockets. Specifically, when the plug of the electrical device is inserted into the socket 411, the plug of the electrical device can be electrically connected to the energy storage unit 41. In this way, the electrical energy of the energy storage unit 41 can be transferred to the electrical device to enable the device to perform functions such as lighting, heat dissipation, voice playback, audio playback, or projection.

[0054] Specifically, in some embodiments, the protective member 43 is movably connected to the energy storage unit 41 and is used to selectively cover or open the socket 411. Thus, the protective member 43, on the one hand, prevents external impurities such as water or dust from entering the energy storage unit 41 through the socket 411, which could lead to leakage or damage, thereby improving the safety of the energy storage unit 41 and extending its service life; on the other hand, it prevents users (e.g., children) from touching the socket 411 and incurring the risk of electric shock. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the movable connection includes, but is not limited to, rotational connections and sliding connections.

[0055] Please combine Figure 3 In some embodiments, the protective member 43 is rotatably connected to the energy storage unit 41. When the protective member 43 rotates relative to the energy storage unit 41, it can selectively cover (cover) or open the socket 411. Please refer to... Figure 4In other embodiments, the protective member 43 is slidably connected to the energy storage unit 41. When the protective member 43 slides relative to the energy storage unit 41, it can selectively cover or open the socket 411.

[0056] In some embodiments, at least two energy storage units 41 are arranged in parallel. Thus, even if some of the at least two energy storage units 41 are removed from the column 31, the remaining energy storage units 41 can still be charged and discharged within the column 31.

[0057] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the frame structure 100 further includes a connecting component 70, which is located at the upper end of the column 31 and is used to connect two adjacent frame components 10.

[0058] The frame components 10 and the connecting components 70 can be connected together using snap-fit, magnetic connection, or other methods. In some embodiments of this application, the assembly steps of the frame structure 100 may be as follows: First, install the connecting components 70 on the upper end of the column 31; then, connect two adjacent frame components 10 to the connecting components 70; subsequently, connect the crossbeam components 50 to the two opposite frame components 10; finally, connect the column 31 to the surface to be fixed, thus completing the assembly of the frame structure 100. It is understood that the assembly steps of the frame structure 100 in the above embodiments are merely illustrative. In other embodiments, the assembly steps of the frame structure 100 may also include other forms, which will not be described in detail here.

[0059] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the column 31 includes a first column 311 and a second column 313 rotatably connected, at least a portion of the connecting assembly 70 is disposed on the first column 311, and the energy storage assembly 40 is disposed on the second column 313; when the first column 311 rotates relative to the second column 313, the connecting assembly 70 is configured to be able to be in an deployed state ( Figure 6 (as shown) and contraction state ( Figure 5 Switching between (as shown); in the expanded state, the connecting component 70 is used to connect with the border component 10; in the collapsed state, the connecting component 70 is disconnected from the border component 10.

[0060] Specifically, in some embodiments, the first column 311 is rotatable relative to the second column 313 between a first position and a second position. When the first column 311 rotates from the first position to the second position relative to the second column 313, the connecting component 70 can switch from a retracted state to an extended state. In this case, the connecting component 70 can connect with two adjacent frame components 10. When the first column 311 rotates from the second position to the first position relative to the second column 313, the connecting component 70 can switch from an extended state to a retracted state. In this case, the connecting component 70 can disconnect from the two adjacent frame components 10. It should be noted that in some embodiments, when the first column 311 is in either the first or second position relative to the second column 313, the first column 311 can remain fixed relative to the second column 313, thereby ensuring the stability of the connecting component 70 in both the extended and retracted states.

[0061] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the frame assembly 10 includes a frame 11, the end of which is provided with a slot. The connecting assembly 70 includes a fixing member 71 and a sliding member 73. The fixing member 71 is connected to the second column 313; the sliding member 73 is connected to the fixing member 71 via a connector 74. When the first column 311 rotates relative to the second column 313, the sliding member 73 is configured to move relative to the second column 313 in a direction away from or towards the fixing member 71 to selectively engage with the slot and switch the connecting assembly 70 between an extended state and a retracted state.

[0062] Specifically, in some embodiments, when the first column 311 rotates relative to the second column 313, causing the slider 73 to move away from the fixing member 71 relative to the second column 313, the connecting assembly 70 can switch from a retracted state to an extended state. In this case, the slider 73 can extend into the slot, thereby achieving the engagement of the connecting assembly 70 and the frame assembly 10. When the first column 311 rotates relative to the second column 313, causing the slider 73 to move closer to the fixing member 71 relative to the second column 313, the connecting assembly 70 can switch from an extended state to a retracted state. In this case, the slider 73 disengages from the slot, thereby disengaging the connecting assembly 70 and the frame assembly 10.

[0063] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the fastener 71 includes, but is not limited to, a circle or an annular shape; when the connecting assembly 70 is in a retracted state, at least a portion of the connector 74 is in contact with the outer peripheral wall of the fastener 71. For example, when the cross-sectional shape of the fastener 71 is an annular shape, when the connecting assembly 70 is in a retracted state, the cross-sectional shape of the connector 74 is arc-shaped, and at least a portion of the connector 74 is in contact with the outer peripheral wall of the fastener 71.

[0064] More specifically, in some embodiments, when the connecting assembly 70 is in the extended state, at least a portion of the projection of the slider 73 onto the projection plane (the plane perpendicular to the length direction X of the column 31) lies outside the projection area of ​​the first column 311 onto the projection plane. That is, when the connecting assembly 70 is in the extended state, at least a portion of the slider 73 lies outside the first column 311, thereby ensuring that the slider 73 can engage with the slot. When the connecting assembly 70 is in the retracted state, the projection of the slider 73 onto the projection plane lies within the projection area of ​​the first column 311 onto the projection plane, thereby ensuring that the slider 73 can disengage from the slot.

[0065] Please continue reading. Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the connecting assembly 70 further includes a guide 75, which is disposed on the first column 311 and cooperates with the sliding member 73. The guide 75 guides the sliding member 73 to move relative to the second column 313 in a direction away from or towards the fixing member 71. The guide 75 ensures that the sliding member 73 moves in a preset direction (i.e., relative to the second column 313 in a direction away from or towards the fixing member 71), reducing the possibility of the sliding member 73 shifting or jamming during movement and ensuring the normal assembly of the frame structure 100. For example, the guide 75 may include, but is not limited to, a slide rail or a slide groove.

[0066] In some embodiments, the connecting component 70 includes a first magnetic element 77 and a second magnetic element 79. The first magnetic element 77 is disposed on the frame component 10; the second magnetic element 79 is disposed on the connecting component 70. The second magnetic element 79 and the first magnetic element 77 cooperate to connect the connecting component 70 to the frame component 10.

[0067] Specifically, in some embodiments, a first magnetic element 77 is disposed on the frame 11, and a second magnetic element 79 is disposed on the slider 73. When the slider 73 engages with the slot, the first magnetic element 77 and the second magnetic element 79 engage to connect the connecting assembly 70 to the frame assembly 10. The placement of the first magnetic element 77 and the second magnetic element 79 enhances the stability of the connection between the connecting assembly 70 and the frame assembly 10, thereby increasing the bonding strength between the column assembly 30 and the frame assembly 10, enabling the frame structure 100 to more effectively resist external environmental forces. Furthermore, the placement of the first magnetic element 77 and the second magnetic element 79 facilitates the connection and positioning of the slider 73 and the slot, improving the assembly efficiency of the frame structure 100.

[0068] Please see Figure 2In some embodiments, the second column 313 includes a first sub-column 3131 and a second sub-column 3133 connected to each other. The cross-sectional dimension of the first sub-column 3131 is smaller than that of the second sub-column 3133. The first column 311 is arranged around the outside of the first sub-column 3131 and is rotatable relative to the first sub-column 3131.

[0069] Specifically, please combine Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the first sub-post 3131 may protrude from the end of the second sub-post 3133 along the length X of the post 31 in a direction away from the second sub-post 3133. The fixing member 71 is disposed on the first sub-post 3131 away from the second sub-post 3133. The first post body 311 is circumferentially disposed on the outside of the first sub-post 3131 and abuts against the end of the second sub-post 3133. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the outer peripheral wall of the first post body 311 is flush with the outer peripheral wall of the second sub-post 3133, thereby reducing visual defects of the post 31 and improving its aesthetics.

[0070] In some embodiments, the second column 313 includes at least one; when there are at least two second columns 313, the first column 311 and a second column 313 are connected, and adjacent second columns 313 are movably connected. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the movable connection includes, but is not limited to, rotational connection, translational connection, and telescopic connection. For ease of understanding, the following embodiments will use a telescopic connection as an example of a movable connection.

[0071] Specifically, at least two second columns 313 are telescopically connected together, which allows the user to adjust the distance between the frame component 10 and the surface to be fixed according to specific usage needs, thereby adjusting the distance between the photovoltaic module 300 and the surface to be fixed; on the other hand, it makes it easy for the user to adjust the length of the column 31, thereby adjusting the height of the photovoltaic awning 1000, and thus facilitating the installation and dismantling of the photovoltaic awning 1000.

[0072] In some embodiments, the column assembly 30 further includes a cover, which is located at the upper end of the column 31 and at the corner where two adjacent frame assemblies 10 meet. The cover is flush with the outer peripheral wall of the frame assembly 10. Thus, the cover ensures visual continuity and consistency at the corner where two adjacent frame assemblies 10 meet, preventing visual defects caused by the connection assembly 70 being exposed to the outside world (e.g., the user can directly see the specific structure of the connection assembly 70), and improving the aesthetics of the frame structure 100. Furthermore, it protects the connection assembly 70, reducing the possibility of damage caused by direct collisions between the connection assembly 70 and other structures, thereby extending the service life of the connection assembly 70. Finally, it prevents external debris from interfering with the movement of the connection assembly 70, ensuring that the connection assembly 70 can switch between the extended and retracted states.

[0073] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the lower end of the column 31 is provided with a grounding element 80, which is electrically connected to the column 31 and is used for grounding.

[0074] Specifically, the lower end of the column 31 is also provided with a grounding component 80 electrically connected to the column 31. The lightning current conducted to the column 31 can be conducted to the grounding component 80 at the lower end of the column 31. Since the grounding component 80 is in contact with the ground, the lightning current will eventually be conducted to the ground through the grounding component 80, thereby avoiding excessive accumulation of lightning current on the photovoltaic sunshade 1000 and preventing damage to the various components of the photovoltaic sunshade 1000.

[0075] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the lower end of the column 31 is also provided with a shielding member 90, at least a portion of which surrounds the side wall of the lower end of the column 31. The grounding member 80 is housed in the space formed by the shielding member 90 and the side wall of the lower end of the column 31, thereby preventing the grounding member 80 from being exposed to the outside world and causing visual defects, and improving the aesthetics of the photovoltaic sunshade 1000.
