Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of charging equipment, specifically to a Y-shaped photovoltaic charging carport. Background Technology

[0002] Electric bicycles are popular among the general public due to their advantages such as no exhaust pollution, low operating costs, small size, and convenient operation, and there is currently a huge number of electric bicycles on the market.

[0003] To facilitate parking and charging for residents, charging sheds are typically built in urban residential communities. Residents can place their electric bicycles in these sheds to prevent damage from wind and rain, and can use the charging stations provided to charge their bicycles. The installation of charging sheds effectively avoids the fire hazard caused by residents pushing their electric bicycles upstairs to charge. Currently, most charging sheds in residential communities use a charging model that combines electricity fees with service fees, and they use commercial electricity at 0.8-1.28 yuan per kilowatt-hour. The charging price is usually as high as 2 yuan per kilowatt-hour or more, which is much higher than the residential electricity price of around 0.5 yuan per kilowatt-hour. Some thrifty residents still choose to push their electric bicycles upstairs to charge due to the high charging price, creating a significant fire hazard. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a Y-shaped photovoltaic charging carport.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A Y-shaped photovoltaic charging carport includes a support frame module and a photovoltaic module. The support frame module includes a roof frame, a mounting slot frame, a charging frame, and two supporting columns. The supporting columns are Y-shaped, with their lower ends fixedly connected to the ground. The roof frame is fixedly connected vertically to the upper ends of the two supporting columns. The mounting slot frame is located below the roof frame and its two ends are fixedly connected vertically to the inner surfaces of the bifurcated upper ends of the two supporting columns. The two ends of the charging frame are fixedly connected vertically to the inner surfaces of the two supporting columns. The photovoltaic module includes a photovoltaic panel, a protection board, a controller, a battery, and a charging plug. The photovoltaic panel is fixedly connected to the top of the canopy frame. The protective plate is set close to the upper surface of the photovoltaic panel. The controller and the battery are both set in the mounting slot, which provides installation positions for the controller and the battery. The controller is connected to the photovoltaic panel, the battery and the charging socket through wires. The electricity generated by the photovoltaic panel through solar power is rectified by the controller and then stored in the battery. The charging socket is fixedly connected to the charging rack. The battery can supply power to the charging socket through the controller. The owner can plug the charging cable of the electric bicycle into the charging socket to charge the electric bicycle.

[0007] To improve the stability of the Y-shaped photovoltaic charging vehicle shed on the ground, the supporting column includes a fixed base, a support rod, and two branch rods. The lower end of the support rod is connected to the fixed base by bolts, enhancing the stability of the Y-shaped photovoltaic charging vehicle shed on the ground. The roots of the two branch rods are fixedly connected to the top of the support rod, and the two branch rods are arranged symmetrically about the support rod as an axis of symmetry. The canopy frame is set between the branch rods of the two supporting columns. The arrangement of the branch rods allows photovoltaic panels to be installed on both the left and right sides of the support rod.

[0008] In order to ensure that the Y-shaped photovoltaic charging canopy can provide good rain protection, an angle α is formed between the two branch poles, and the angle α is 135-165 degrees.

[0009] To ensure the structural strength of the supporting columns, the supporting rods are all made of steel with an "I" shaped cross section.

[0010] To further lower the center of gravity of the Y-shaped photovoltaic charging shed and reduce the weight of the branch poles and support poles, several weight-reducing holes are provided on the branch poles and support poles.

[0011] To ensure the structural strength of the canopy frame, the canopy frame is composed of several vertical and horizontal frames that are fixedly connected in a staggered manner. The two ends of the vertical frames are respectively fixedly connected to the branch rods of two supporting columns.

[0012] In order to allow sunlight to pass through the protective plate and shine on the photovoltaic panel, so that the photovoltaic panel can convert light energy into electrical energy, the protective plate is made of transparent acrylic sheet with a thickness of 5-10mm, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the protective plate.

[0013] To prevent rainwater from accumulating and corroding the protective plate and photovoltaic panel on the protective plate, a drainage trough frame is provided above the mounting trough frame, and a guide trough is provided in the middle of the drainage trough frame. The guide trough is arranged along the length direction of the drainage trough frame, and the bottom shape of the guide trough includes an arch shape, with the height of its two ends being lower than the height of the middle.

[0014] Preferably, to prevent the battery from being completely depleted due to insufficient sunlight over a long period, thus preventing the owner from charging the battery, the controller is connected to the power source via a wire.

[0015] Preferably, to facilitate the owner's plugging and unplugging of the charger, the distance between the charging rack and the ground is 1-1.2m.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This utility model discloses a Y-shaped photovoltaic charging shed. The shed features photovoltaic modules mounted above a support frame module. The photovoltaic panels of these modules provide rain protection for electric bicycles within the shed, preventing them from getting wet and causing short circuits or shortening their lifespan. Furthermore, the photovoltaic panels convert solar energy into electrical energy, which is stored in a battery. This electrical energy is then released for charging the electric bicycle. Compared to charging sheds that rely solely on commercial electricity, this method offers lower electricity costs and charging prices, making it more attractive for charging electric bicycles in the Y-shaped photovoltaic charging shed. It also reduces the fire hazard associated with charging electric bicycles inside buildings. Moreover, the Y-shaped design of the supporting columns allows for the placement of photovoltaic panels with double the area, improving the solar power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic modules.

[0026] See Figures 1-5 A Y-shaped photovoltaic charging carport includes a support frame module 1 and a photovoltaic module 2. The support frame module 1 includes a roof frame 11, a mounting slot frame 12, a charging frame 13, and two supporting columns 14. The supporting columns 14 are Y-shaped. The lower end of the supporting columns 14 is vertically fixed to the ground. The roof frame 11 is vertically fixed to the upper ends of the two supporting columns 14. The mounting slot frame 12 is located below the roof frame 11, and its two ends are connected to the inner side of the bifurcation point of the upper ends of the two supporting columns 14. The charging rack 13 is vertically fixed to the inner surfaces of two supporting columns 14 at both ends. The photovoltaic module 2 includes a photovoltaic panel 21, a protection plate 22, a controller 23, a battery 24, and a charging socket 25. The photovoltaic panel 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the canopy frame 11. The protection plate 22 is set close to the upper surface of the photovoltaic panel 21 to protect it from falling objects and extend its service life. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 4The controller 23 and the battery 24 are both housed in the mounting bracket 12. The mounting bracket 12 provides a mounting location for the controller 23 and the battery 24 and also provides protection against rainwater contact, preventing short circuits. The controller 23 is connected to the photovoltaic panel 21, the battery 24, and the charging socket 25 via wires. The electricity generated by the photovoltaic panel 21 through solar power is rectified by the controller 23 and then stored in the battery 24. The charging socket 25 is fixedly connected to the charging rack 13. The battery 24 can be charged via the controller 23 to the charging socket 25. 5. Power supply: Owners can plug their electric bicycle charging cables into the charging socket 25 to charge their electric bicycles. The Y-shaped photovoltaic charging shed can generate electricity through the photovoltaic panels 21 installed on the roof frame 11, thereby charging the owners' electric bicycles. Compared with ordinary charging sheds that use commercial electricity at 0.8-1.28 yuan per kilowatt-hour, the Y-shaped photovoltaic charging shed can effectively reduce electricity prices and charging costs for owners. It plays a positive role in encouraging owners to charge their electric bicycles in the Y-shaped photovoltaic charging shed, reducing the probability of owners pushing their electric bicycles upstairs to charge, and reducing the probability of fire caused by electric bicycles being charged upstairs.

[0027] To improve the stability of the Y-shaped photovoltaic charging vehicle shed fixed on the ground, see [reference needed]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The supporting column 14 includes a fixed base 141, a support rod 142, and two branch rods 143. The lower end of the support rod 142 is bolted to the fixed base 141. The fixed base 141 can be buried in the ground, lowering the overall center of gravity of the Y-shaped photovoltaic charging carport and enhancing the stability of the Y-shaped photovoltaic charging carport on the ground. The roots of the two branch rods 143 are fixedly connected to the top of the support rod 142, and the two branch rods 143 are mirror-symmetrically arranged about the support rod 142 as an axis of symmetry. The canopy frame 11 is arranged between the branch rods 143 of the two supporting columns 14. The arrangement of the branch rods 143 allows photovoltaic panels 21 to be installed on both sides of the support rod 142, increasing the installation area of ​​the photovoltaic panels 21, thereby enabling the photovoltaic panels 21 to absorb more sunlight and convert it into electrical energy.

[0028] To ensure the Y-shaped photovoltaic charging canopy provides good rain protection, see [link / reference]. Figure 3 An angle α is formed between the two branch rods 143, with an angle of 135-165 degrees, controlling the installation angle of the photovoltaic panel 21.

[0029] To ensure the structural strength of the support column 14, the support rods 142 are all made of steel with an "I" shaped cross section, thereby improving the structural strength of the support rods 142.

[0030] To further lower the center of gravity of the Y-shaped photovoltaic charging shed and reduce the weight of the branch pole 143 and support pole 142, see [reference needed]. Figure 3 The branch rod 143 and the support rod 142 are provided with a number of weight-reducing holes 15. The weight-reducing holes 15 can reduce the overall weight of the branch rod 143 and the support rod 142, making the center of gravity of the Y-shaped photovoltaic charging carport lower and improving its stability when fixed on the ground.

[0031] To ensure the structural strength of the canopy frame 11, see [link / reference] Figure 2 The canopy frame 11 is composed of several vertically intersecting and fixedly connected vertical frames 111 and horizontal frames 112. The two ends of the vertical frames 111 are respectively vertically fixedly connected to the branch rods 143 of the two supporting columns 14. The above design can enhance the structural strength of the canopy frame 11 and prevent the canopy frame 11 from being blown down and damaged by strong winds.

[0032] In order to allow sunlight to pass through the protective plate 22 and shine on the photovoltaic panel 21, so that the photovoltaic panel 21 can convert light energy into electrical energy, the protective plate 22 is made of transparent acrylic sheet. This ensures that sunlight can pass through the protective plate 22 and shine on the photovoltaic panel 21. The thickness of the protective plate 22 is 5-10mm, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the protective plate 22, extending the service life of the protective plate 22, and preventing damage from wind and rain.

[0033] To prevent rainwater from accumulating and corroding the protective plate 22 and the photovoltaic panel 21 on the protective plate 22, a drainage trough 16 is provided above the mounting trough 12. A guide trough 17 is provided in the middle of the drainage trough 16. The guide trough 17 is arranged along the length of the drainage trough 16. The bottom shape of the guide trough 17 includes an arch shape, and the height of its two ends is lower than the height of the middle. Rainwater falling on the protective plate 22 can flow into the guide trough 17 of the drainage trough 16 and flow out from both ends of the Y-shaped photovoltaic charging shed under the guidance of the arched bottom of the guide trough.

[0034] Preferably, to prevent the battery 24 from being completely depleted due to insufficient sunlight for an extended period, thus preventing the owner from charging, the controller 23 is connected to a power source via a wire. The external power source can serve as emergency power to temporarily charge the electric bicycle, ensuring the owner's normal use.

[0035] Preferably, to facilitate the user's plugging and unplugging of the charger, the distance between the charging rack 13 and the ground is 1-1.2m, which makes it convenient for the user to plug and unplug the charger from the charging socket 25.
