Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar panel technology, specifically to a foldable solar panel. Background Technology
[0002] Solar cells, also known as "solar chips" or "photovoltaic cells," are thin photovoltaic semiconductor wafers that generate electricity directly using sunlight. A single solar cell cannot be used directly as a power source; to use it as a power source, several individual solar cells must be connected in series or parallel and tightly packaged into a module.
[0003] Existing solar panels are fixed directly to a support frame, which prevents the angle of the solar panel from being changed. Consequently, the angle of the solar panel cannot be adjusted according to the angle of the sun, resulting in limited power generation. A foldable solar panel is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a foldable solar panel to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A foldable solar panel includes a main body, an adjustment mechanism on the main body, and fixing mechanisms on the left and right sides of the main body.
[0007] The adjustment mechanism includes a drive motor, the output end of which is fixedly connected to a threaded rod, a threaded connecting block is threadedly connected to the threaded rod, and a support rod is rotatably connected to the threaded connecting block.
[0008] A further improvement of this utility model is that: the other end of the support rod is rotatably connected to a limiting block, a limiting frame is provided on the outside of the limiting block, and the limiting block is slidably connected in the limiting frame. The limiting frame can restrict the position of the limiting block, thereby ensuring the stability of the mechanism.
[0009] A further improvement of the present invention is that the main body includes a first connecting frame, the limiting frame is fixedly connected to the back of the first connecting frame, a hinge is provided on the first connecting frame, and a second connecting frame is provided on one side of the hinge. When the two sets of solar panel bodies on the first connecting frame and the second connecting frame are in contact, the two sets of solar panel bodies can be folded.
[0010] A further improvement of this utility model is that: a solar panel body is provided on both the first connecting frame and the second connecting frame; a hinge rod is hinged to the bottom of the first connecting frame; and the limiting frame drives the first connecting frame to rotate around the hinge rod axis, thereby enabling the angle of the solar panel body to be adjusted according to the direction of the sun.
[0011] A further improvement of this utility model is that: a base plate is hinged to the hinge rod, the drive motor is fixedly connected to the base plate, and the threaded rod is rotatably connected inside the base plate. The base plate fixes the positions of the drive motor and the threaded rod, thereby ensuring the stability of the adjustment mechanism.
[0012] A further improvement of the present invention is that the fixing mechanism includes a fixing frame, the fixing frame has a threaded hole, the fixing frame is fixedly connected to the second connecting frame, and the first connecting frame has a gear groove inside, which can fix the position of the limiting gear when no thrust is applied to the adjusting rod.
[0013] A further improvement of this utility model is that: a limiting gear is meshed inside the gear groove, and an adjusting rod is fixedly connected to one end of the limiting gear. A fixing bolt is threadedly connected to the adjusting rod and the threaded hole. By screwing the fixing bolt into the fixing frame and the adjusting rod, the first connecting frame can be connected to the other side of the second connecting frame.
[0014] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technological progress achieved by this utility model compared to the prior art is as follows:
[0015] This invention provides a foldable solar panel. A drive motor rotates a threaded rod, adjusting the position of the threaded connecting block and one end of a support rod. This, in turn, moves a limiting block at the other end of the support rod up and down. A limiting frame restricts the position of the limiting block, which in turn drives a first connecting frame to rotate around a hinged rod axis. This allows for adjustment of the angle of the solar panel's battery body according to the sun's direction, optimizing the solar panel's reception of solar radiation and thus increasing power generation.
[0016] This utility model provides a foldable solar panel. A first connecting frame is placed on top of a second connecting frame. A pushing force is applied to an adjusting rod, which drives a limiting gear to rotate, allowing the adjusting rod to enter the fixed frame. Then, a fixing bolt is screwed into the fixed frame and the adjusting rod, connecting the other side of the first connecting frame and the second connecting frame. This, in conjunction with a hinge, allows for connection and fixation of the two, thus facilitating transportation. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments:
[0023] Example 1
[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a foldable solar panel, including a main body 2, an adjustment mechanism 1 on the main body 2, and a fixing mechanism 3 on the left and right sides of the main body 2. The adjustment mechanism 1 includes a drive motor 11, a threaded rod 12 fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 11, a threaded connecting block 13 threadedly connected to the threaded rod 12, a support rod 14 rotatably connected to the threaded connecting block 13, a limit block 15 rotatably connected to the other end of the support rod 14, a limit frame 16 provided on the outside of the limit block 15, and the limit block 15 slidably connected within the limit frame 16.
[0025] Specifically, the drive motor 11 operates, causing the threaded rod 12 to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the threaded connecting block 13 and the position of one end of the support rod 14. This, in turn, causes the limiting block 15 at the other end of the support rod 14 to move up and down. The limiting frame 16 can restrict the position of the limiting block 15. Subsequently, the limiting frame 16 drives the first connecting frame 21 to rotate around the hinge rod 25, thereby adjusting the angle of the solar panel body 24 according to the direction of the sun. This optimizes the solar panel's reception of solar radiation and increases power generation.
[0026] Example 2
[0027] like Figure 1-4As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: Preferably, the main body mechanism 2 includes a first connecting frame 21, a limiting frame 16 fixedly connected to the back of the first connecting frame 21, a hinge 22 provided on the first connecting frame 21, a second connecting frame 23 provided on one side of the hinge 22, a solar panel body 24 provided on both the first connecting frame 21 and the second connecting frame 23, a hinge rod 25 hinged to the bottom of the first connecting frame 21, a base plate 26 hinged to the hinge rod 25, a drive motor 11 fixedly connected to the base plate 26, and a threaded rod 12 rotatably connected to the inside of the base plate 26;
[0028] Specifically, the first connecting frame 21 and the second connecting frame 23 are connected by two sets of hinges 22, so that when the two sets of solar panel bodies 24 on the first connecting frame 21 and the second connecting frame 23 are in contact, the two sets of solar panel bodies 24 can be folded.
[0029] Example 3
[0030] like Figure 1-4 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: Preferably, the fixing mechanism 3 includes a fixing frame 35, the fixing frame 35 is provided with a threaded hole 36, the fixing frame 35 is fixedly connected to the second connecting frame 23, the first connecting frame 21 is provided with a gear groove 31, the gear groove 31 is meshed with a limiting gear 32, one end of the limiting gear 32 is fixedly connected to an adjusting rod 33, and the adjusting rod 33 and the threaded hole 36 are internally threaded with a fixing bolt 34;
[0031] Specifically, the first connecting frame 21 is placed on top of the second connecting frame 23, and a pushing force is applied to the adjusting rod 33. The adjusting rod 33 drives the limiting gear 32 to rotate, causing the adjusting rod 33 to enter the fixed frame 35. Then, the fixing bolt 34 is screwed into the fixed frame 35 and the adjusting rod 33, thus connecting the other side of the first connecting frame 21 and the second connecting frame 23, thereby fixing the two together and facilitating transportation. Furthermore, the gear groove 31 can fix the position of the limiting gear 32 even without applying a pushing force to the adjusting rod 33. In the event of separation during transportation, the fixing bolt 34 is unscrewed, and one end of the adjusting rod 33 is pushed outward from the fixed frame 35, causing the adjusting rod 33 to separate from the fixed frame 35. This disconnects the other side of the first connecting frame 21 and the second connecting frame 23, making it easy to unfold and use them.
[0032] The working principle of this foldable solar panel will be explained in detail below.
[0033] like Figure 1-4As shown, unscrew the fixing bolt 34, push one end of the adjusting rod 33 outward towards the fixed frame 35, causing the limiting gear 32 to rotate in the gear groove 31, thus separating the adjusting rod 33 from the fixed frame 35. This releases the connection between the first connecting frame 21 and the other side of the second connecting frame 23. Rotate the second connecting frame 23 around the hinge 22, thereby unfolding the two sets of solar panel bodies 24 for use. During use, start the drive motor 11 to rotate the threaded rod 12, thereby adjusting the position of the threaded connecting block 13 and the position of one end of the support rod 14. This, in turn, causes the limiting block 15 at the other end of the support rod 14 to move up and down. The limiting frame 16 can restrict the position of the limiting block 15. Subsequently, the limiting frame 16 drives the first connecting frame 21 to rotate around the hinge 25, thereby adjusting the angle of the solar panel body 24 according to the direction of the sun, which can optimize the solar panel's reception of solar radiation.
[0034] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
