Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar cell boxes, and in particular to a novel solar cell box. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of clean energy technologies, solar cell boxes, as devices that convert solar energy into electrical energy and store it, have been widely used in outdoor lighting, powering portable electronic devices, and providing power to remote areas. Existing solar cell boxes typically employ a design structure that directly seals the battery inside the box to achieve a waterproof and airtight effect, protecting the battery from external environmental factors such as rain and dust, and ensuring its normal operation in complex outdoor environments.

[0003] However, this non-removable, sealed design has revealed numerous problems in practical applications. Because the battery is completely enclosed in the battery compartment, it inevitably deteriorates after prolonged storage (e.g., the product remaining unsold for one or two years) or normal charge-discharge cycles. Over time, battery degradation accelerates, potentially rendering the battery unusable and leading to consumer complaints and dissatisfaction.

[0004] More importantly, once the battery is damaged, users cannot replace the battery themselves due to the non-removable nature of the existing battery box. They can only replace the entire solar cell box, which undoubtedly increases the product's maintenance costs significantly, reduces its lifespan and cost-effectiveness, and is not conducive to the long-term promotion and application of the product.

[0005] refer to Figure 9 This is a structural diagram of a traditional solar cell box, which mainly includes a traditional battery box lower shell 81, a traditional battery box waterproof ring 82, a traditional waterproof cap 83, a traditional rechargeable power supply 84, a traditional circuit board 85, a traditional light source line 86, a traditional battery box upper shell 87, and a traditional solar panel 88. The integrated transportation packaging of this traditional rechargeable power supply 84 may lead to problems such as battery self-discharge and difficulty in storage. At the same time, the traditional rechargeable power supply 84 is difficult to replace, and disassembly can easily damage the waterproof adhesive and waterproof ring. Utility Model Content

[0006] Therefore, to address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a novel solar cell box. It solves the technical problems of solar cell boxes where batteries are prone to damage, difficult to store, and hard to replace.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A novel solar cell box includes a box body and a solar module. The solar module includes a solar panel disposed on the top of the box body. A battery slot is provided on the side wall of the box body. A movable cover is detachably provided at the port of the battery slot. At least one sealing ring is provided on the port of the battery slot or the movable cover. The battery slot and the movable cover are sealed to prevent water leakage by the sealing ring. A rechargeable power supply is detachably disposed in the battery slot. The rechargeable power supply is electrically connected to the solar module. The rechargeable power supply is connected to a switch. The switch is connected to a light source.

[0009] Further:

[0010] The box body includes a lower battery box shell and an upper battery box shell connected to the lower battery box shell. A first cavity is formed between the upper battery box shell and the lower battery box shell. The lower battery box shell has an upward-opening lower battery compartment shell. The top of the lower battery compartment shell has a battery compartment cover. The rechargeable power supply is located inside the lower battery compartment shell.

[0011] The lower housing of the battery box and the upper housing of the battery box, and / or the lower housing of the battery compartment and the upper cover of the battery compartment, are sealed with waterproof rings or waterproof adhesive.

[0012] The lower housing of the battery compartment and the upper cover of the battery compartment are sealed together by a waterproof ring or waterproof adhesive to form a sealed second cavity, and the bottom of the lower housing of the battery compartment is provided with at least one drainage hole.

[0013] The lower housing of the battery compartment and the upper cover of the battery compartment are sealed together by a waterproof ring or waterproof adhesive to form a sealed second cavity. The lower housing of the battery compartment or the upper cover of the battery compartment is provided with a wire hole through which two light source wires pass. One light source wire is connected to the solar panel and the other light source wire is connected to the lamp source. The wire hole is sealed with waterproof adhesive.

[0014] The battery compartment is provided with a negative electrode plate, the movable cover is provided with a positive electrode plate, and the two ends of the rechargeable power supply can respectively abut against the negative electrode plate and the positive electrode plate.

[0015] The negative electrode plate is provided with a spring, the outer wall of the positive electrode plate is provided with multiple protrusions, and the box body is provided with a conductive element electrically connected to the solar panel. The protrusions can abut against the conductive element.

[0016] The positive electrode plate has a mounting hole in the middle, through which a screw passes. The screw is threaded to a movable cover to fix the positive electrode plate.

[0017] It also includes a circuit board that connects the solar panels, switches, and rechargeable power supply.

[0018] The rechargeable power supply is arranged in a horizontal direction.

[0019] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] This utility model's solar cell box eliminates the need for rechargeable power supply installation during packaging, effectively preventing potential damage caused by external forces (such as collisions and vibrations) during packaging and transportation. It also prevents natural wear and tear during unused periods, ensuring the power supply's performance and lifespan. When the power supply is damaged, users can easily remove it from the battery slot or lower casing and replace it with a new one, eliminating the need to replace the entire solar cell box. This significantly reduces maintenance costs and improves product maintainability and economy. By concentrating the waterproof design in the lower casing of the battery compartment, compared to fully waterproofing the entire box, the waterproof area is significantly reduced, simplifying the waterproofing process, lowering production costs, and improving the reliability and stability of the waterproof structure, ensuring the safe operation of the internal electronic components. The negative electrode plate on the battery slot and the positive electrode plate on the movable cover ensure a stable connection between the power supply and the circuit, guaranteeing stable current transmission. The spring design on the negative electrode plate enhances the contact pressure between the electrode contacts and the power supply, further improving connection reliability. The multiple protrusions on the outer wall of the positive electrode plate, in conjunction with the conductive elements on the housing, not only serve a positioning function but also increase the contact area and improve conductivity. The addition of a photoresistor allows the light source to automatically adjust its brightness or on / off state based on ambient light levels, achieving intelligent control and enhancing product usability and user experience. The rechargeable power supply is positioned horizontally, making full use of the battery compartment's internal space, resulting in a more compact overall structure that is easy to carry and use. Simultaneously, it provides more possibilities for the layout of other electronic components, contributing to improved overall product performance and functional integration.
