Description

Mobile containerized power generation unit for ships Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar photovoltaic power generation technology, specifically a mobile container power generation device for ships. Background Technology

[0002] Ships typically spend long periods of time on the water, where there are no obstructions and direct sunlight provides ample solar energy. Therefore, solar power generation is a very suitable power supply method for ships to maintain power during their extended periods of operation.

[0003] Currently, solar power generation systems used on ships typically involve fixing solar panels to the ship, mostly on the deck. However, deck space is limited, and fixing solar panels takes up a lot of deck space, which in turn affects other work on the deck and reduces the value of the solar power generation system. Therefore, we propose a mobile containerized power generation device for ships to solve the problems mentioned above. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mobile container power generation device for ships, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the solar panels of current solar power generation components occupy a lot of space on the ship deck and are inconvenient to use.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a mobile containerized power generation device for ships, comprising a container body, a container door installed on the container body, an electrical cabinet and a solar panel bracket installed inside the container body, multiple solar panel brackets arranged in a folded manner inside the container body, the upper ends of the solar panel brackets being movably connected by connecting shafts, the lower ends of the solar panel brackets being movably connected by connecting wheels, a limiting connecting chain being fixedly connected to the side of the solar panel brackets, a solar panel being installed inside the solar panel bracket, a snap-fit ​​rod being installed on the side of the solar panel bracket, the end of the snap-fit ​​rod penetrating the side of the solar panel bracket and embedded in the side of the solar panel, a spring being installed on the end of the snap-fit ​​rod, the end of the snap-fit ​​rod forming a telescopic structure on the side of the solar panel bracket through the spring.

[0006] Preferably, the electrical cabinet includes a DC combiner box, a battery pack, a charge / discharge controller, an inverter, and an AC distribution cabinet. The solar panels on the battery panel bracket are connected in series to the DC combiner box. The DC power generated by the solar panels is transmitted to the inverter through the DC combiner box. The inverter converts the DC power into AC power, which charges the battery pack. Under the control of the charge / discharge controller, the battery pack is automatically prevented from overcharging and over-discharging. The AC distribution cabinet enables the use of the AC power generated by the inverter and the power in the battery pack.

[0007] Preferably, the lower side of the innermost solar panel bracket is connected to the bottom of the container body via a movable shaft, and the other solar panel brackets are connected to the lower side of the movable wheels to form a movable structure within the container body.

[0008] Preferably, the adjacent solar panel brackets are connected by a connecting shaft and a connecting wheel to form an opening and closing structure, and the opening and closing angle between adjacent solar panel brackets is limited by a limiting connecting chain.

[0009] Preferably, the opening and closing angle between adjacent solar panel brackets is 0-150° under the action of the limiting connecting chain.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting connecting chain is a galvanized chain.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] (1) The ship uses a mobile container power generation device to house the entire solar photovoltaic power generation structure inside the container.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1-6. The present invention provides a technical solution: a mobile container power generation device for ships, including a container body 1, a container door 2 installed on the container body 1, an electrical cabinet 3 and a battery panel bracket 4 installed inside the container body 1, and multiple battery panel brackets 4 are provided inside the container body 1 and are arranged in a folded manner inside the container body 1.

[0024] Furthermore, the electrical cabinet 3 is equipped with a DC combiner box, a battery pack, a charge / discharge controller, an inverter, and an AC distribution cabinet. The solar panels 8 on the battery panel bracket 4 are connected in series to the DC combiner box. The DC power generated by the solar panels 8 is transmitted to the inverter through the DC combiner box. The inverter converts the DC power into AC power, and the generated AC power charges the battery pack. Under the control of the charge / discharge controller, the battery pack is automatically prevented from overcharging and over-discharging. The AC distribution cabinet enables the use of AC power generated by the inverter and the power in the battery pack.

[0025] The upper ends of the battery panel brackets 4 are movably connected by a connecting shaft 5, the lower ends of the battery panel brackets 4 are movably connected by a connecting wheel 6, and the side ends of the battery panel brackets 4 are fixedly connected by a limiting connecting chain 10.

[0026] Furthermore, the lower side of the innermost solar panel bracket 4 of the container body 1 is connected to the bottom of the container body 1 by a movable shaft. The other solar panel brackets 4 are all connected by the lower movable wheels 6 to form a movable structure inside the container body 1. This can ensure that the overall structure of the solar panel bracket 4 is stable in the connection position inside the container body 1, while not affecting the unfolding and movement of the solar panel bracket 4.

[0027] Furthermore, the adjacent solar panel brackets 4 are connected by a connecting shaft 5 and a connecting moving wheel 6 to form an opening and closing structure, ensuring that the solar panel brackets 4 can be opened, closed and folded normally. The opening and closing angle between adjacent solar panel brackets 4 is limited by a limiting connecting chain 10, which can limit the unfolded state of the solar panel brackets 4 and ensure the stable working state of the solar panel brackets 4.

[0028] Furthermore, the opening and closing angle between adjacent solar panel brackets 4 is 0-150° under the action of the limiting connecting chain 10, so that after the solar panel brackets 4 are unfolded, they maintain a stable tilt state under the action of the limiting connecting chain 10. In this way, without affecting the illumination, the solar panel brackets 4 can automatically fold and close when pushed from the outside, so as to facilitate the use of the solar panel brackets 4.

[0029] Furthermore, the limiting connection chain 10 is a galvanized chain to ensure the strength of the limiting connection chain 10 under stress, thereby improving the working stability of the solar panel bracket 4.

[0030] A solar panel 8 is installed inside the solar panel bracket 4. A snap-fit ​​rod 7 is installed on the side of the solar panel bracket 4. The end of the snap-fit ​​rod 7 passes through the side of the solar panel bracket 4 and is embedded in the side of the solar panel 8. A spring 9 is installed on the end of the snap-fit ​​rod 7. The end of the snap-fit ​​rod 7 forms a telescopic structure on the side of the solar panel bracket 4 through the spring 9, which facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the solar panel 8, thereby ensuring that the power generation work is carried out normally for a long time.

[0031] Specifically, when using the mobile container power generation device for ships, the first step is to use a crane to lift the container body 1 to a suitable working position on the ship. When the ship is sailing on the water, if the weather is good, the container door 2 can be opened and the solar panel bracket 4 inside the container body 1 can be pulled outward. With the action of the moving wheels 6 connected below, the solar panel bracket 4 can move normally outward from the outside of the container body 1.

[0032] As the solar panel bracket 4 continues to unfold outward, the solar panel brackets 4 move together through the connecting shaft 5 and the connecting moving wheel 6, and under the pulling action of the limiting connecting chain 10, the solar panel bracket 4 maintains a stable up-and-down undulating shape.

[0033] When the container body 1 is hoisted onto the ship, the space required for the solar panel bracket 4 to extend outward must be taken into account to ensure that the power generation unit can work normally.

[0034] Once the solar panel support 4 is stably deployed, the solar panel 8 converts solar energy into direct current (DC) and collects it into the DC combiner box inside the electrical cabinet 3. The DC combiner box then transmits the DC power to the inverter, which converts the DC power into alternating current (AC). The generated AC power charges the battery pack and can also control the power output through the AC distribution cabinet for power use. After the battery pack is charged, it can also output power through the AC distribution cabinet. Under the control of the charge and discharge controller, the battery pack is automatically prevented from overcharging and over-discharging.

[0035] When the weather is bad, or when the space on the ship occupied by the solar panel bracket 4 needs to be used for other purposes, the solar panel bracket 4 can be pushed into the container body 1. Since the solar panel bracket 4 is tilted, the pushing of the solar panel bracket 4 can be directly retracted, thereby transferring the solar panel bracket 4 into the container body 1 and closing the container door 2 to ensure the safety of the solar panel bracket 4. In this way, the solar panel bracket 4 is completely retracted and will not have an adverse impact on the use of space on the ship.

[0036] The above describes the usage process of the power generation device. Any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0037] Although the present invention 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. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
