Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of connection equipment technology, and in particular relates to a solar panel connection device and a swing frame. Background Technology

[0002] Ambient lighting is increasingly used in modern outdoor decoration and leisure facilities, enhancing both aesthetics and user experience. For example, ambient lighting on swings, used as recreational equipment, creates a soft, halo-like effect, providing a warm and romantic environment while also increasing safety and enjoyment at night. Especially during camping or outdoor gatherings, ambient lighting can be a highlight of nighttime activities; it's not just a lighting tool but a key element in enhancing the overall ambiance.

[0003] With the growing awareness of environmental protection, solar panels are increasingly being used on swing sets. However, most existing solar panels are directly fixed to the swing set, and their orientation cannot be adjusted in multiple directions to maintain the optimal angle for receiving sunlight. This limitation leads to low solar energy conversion efficiency, especially since the sun's altitude angle changes at different times of day or during seasonal changes, and the fixed installation method cannot fully utilize solar energy resources. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing a connection device that allows for adjusting the direction of sunlight received by a solar panel.

[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: a solar panel connection device, comprising:

[0006] A connector for fixed connection with a swing set;

[0007] A steering adjustment component includes a first connecting portion connected to the connecting member, a second connecting portion hinged to the first connecting portion, and a third connecting portion hinged to the second connecting portion. The hinge rotation direction of the second connecting portion relative to the first connecting portion is perpendicular to the hinge rotation direction of the third connecting portion relative to the second connecting portion. The third connecting portion is used to fix the solar panel.

[0008] In the aforementioned solar panel connection device, the connector is provided with a connection cavity, and the first connecting part is inserted into the connection cavity and subjected to an interference fit with the connection cavity.

[0009] In the aforementioned solar panel connection device, multiple connecting ribs are spaced apart on the outer peripheral surface of the first connection part, and the length direction of the connecting ribs is parallel to or coincides with the axial direction of the first connection part.

[0010] In the aforementioned solar panel connection device, along the axial direction of the first connection part, as the straight-line distance between the connecting rib and the second connection part increases, the radial distance between the connecting rib and the outer peripheral surface of the first connection part decreases.

[0011] In the aforementioned solar panel connection device, a first hinge block is provided at the end of the first connecting part, and a second hinge block is provided at the end of the second connecting part. The first hinge block and the second hinge block are hinged together, and one of the first hinge block and the second hinge block is provided with a ring-shaped spaced positioning protrusion, and the other of the two is in contact with the positioning protrusion.

[0012] In the aforementioned solar panel connection device, the connector includes a plug post, an abutment ring is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the plug post, and a plug cavity is provided on the swing frame, wherein the abutment ring is interference-fitted with the cavity wall of the plug cavity.

[0013] In the aforementioned solar panel connection device, the abutment ring has grooves spaced apart.

[0014] In the above-mentioned solar panel connection device, contact blocks are spaced apart on the outer peripheral surface of the plug-in post, and an inclined guide surface is provided on the contact block. When the plug-in post is plugged into and fixed with the plug-in cavity, the inclined guide surface first abuts against the cavity wall of the plug-in cavity.

[0015] In the above-mentioned solar panel connection device, a mounting cavity is provided inside the insertion post, a connecting post is provided inside the mounting cavity, the connecting cavity is located on the connecting post, and a gap is provided between the connecting post and the cavity wall of the mounting cavity.

[0016] A swing frame including the aforementioned solar panel connection device.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: the solar panel connection device, through its unique multi-hinged design, enables the solar panel to swing flexibly in multiple directions relative to the swing frame, thereby significantly improving solar energy absorption efficiency. Specifically, the device includes a connector for fixed connection with the swing frame and a steering adjustment component. The steering adjustment component consists of three sequentially hinged connecting parts: a first connecting part, a second connecting part, and a third connecting part. The second connecting part rotates relative to the first connecting part in one plane, while the third connecting part rotates relative to the second connecting part in another plane perpendicular to it. This dual-axis hinge structure gives the solar panel extremely high flexibility, allowing it to be adjusted in all directions according to the sun's position. Users can easily adjust the angle of the solar panel through manual or automatic control systems to maintain the optimal light reception angle. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0028] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0029] like Figures 1-8 As shown, a solar panel connection device includes:

[0030] Connector 100 is used for fixed connection with the swing set 300.

[0031] The steering adjustment component 200 includes a first connecting portion 201 connected to the connecting component 100, a second connecting portion 202 hinged to the first connecting portion 201, and a third connecting portion 203 hinged to the second connecting portion 202. The hinge rotation direction of the second connecting portion 202 relative to the first connecting portion 201 is perpendicular to the hinge rotation direction of the third connecting portion 203 relative to the second connecting portion 202. The third connecting portion 203 is used to fix it to the solar panel 301.

[0032] In this embodiment, the solar panel 301 connection device, through a unique multi-hinged design, enables the solar panel 301 to flexibly swing relative to the swing frame 300 in multiple directions, thereby significantly improving solar energy absorption efficiency. Specifically, the device includes a connector 100 for fixed connection with the swing frame 300 and a steering adjustment component 200. The steering adjustment component 200 consists of three sequentially hinged connecting parts: a first connecting part 201, a second connecting part 202, and a third connecting part 203. The second connecting part 202 rotates relative to the first connecting part 201 in one plane, while the third connecting part 203 rotates relative to the second connecting part 202 in another plane perpendicular to it. This dual-axis hinge structure gives the solar panel 301 extremely high flexibility, allowing it to be adjusted in all directions according to the sun's position. Users can easily adjust the angle of the solar panel 301 through manual or automatic control systems to maintain the optimal light reception angle.

[0033] Preferably, the connector 100 is provided with a connecting cavity 101, and the first connecting part 201 is inserted into the connecting cavity 101 and is interference-fitted with the connecting cavity 101.

[0034] In this embodiment, by inserting the first connecting part 201 into the connecting cavity 101 of the connector 100 and fixing it by an interference fit, the tight connection between the connector 100 and the steering adjustment part 200 is ensured. This method effectively prevents loosening caused by external vibration or wind force, and ensures that the solar panel 301 can maintain a stable connection state during any angle adjustment process.

[0035] More preferably, a plurality of connecting ribs 204 are distributed at intervals on the outer peripheral surface of the first connecting portion 201, and the length direction of the connecting ribs 204 is parallel to or coincides with the axial direction of the first connecting portion 201.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the first connecting part 201 is inserted and fixed to the connecting cavity 101, the connecting rib 204 abuts against the cavity wall of the connecting cavity 101. Due to errors in the processing technology, the first connecting part 201 and the insertion cavity cannot achieve tight surface contact. At the same time, in order to increase the pressure between the first connecting part 201 and the insertion cavity and increase the friction, multiple connecting ribs 204 are evenly distributed on the outer peripheral surface of the first connecting part 201 and abut tightly against the cavity wall when inserted into the connecting cavity 101. Furthermore, the connecting ribs 204 are arranged along the axial direction of the first connecting part 201, providing additional support and enhancing the overall rigidity and compressive strength of the first connecting part 201. Even under the condition of bearing a large external force, it can effectively resist deformation and maintain its original shape and function.

[0037] Preferably, along the axial direction of the first connecting portion 201, the greater the linear distance between the connecting rib 204 and the second connecting portion 202, the closer the radial distance between the connecting rib 204 and the outer peripheral surface of the first connecting portion 201.

[0038] It should be noted that the first connecting part 201 is a hollow structure, while the second connecting part 202 is a cross-shaped frame composed of four connecting plates.

[0039] In this embodiment, the connecting rib 204 and the first connecting part 201 form an inclined angle between their axial directions, making the installation process smoother and avoiding jamming caused by excessive friction. Furthermore, through this gradient design, the connecting rib 204 provides different contact pressures at different positions, allowing the part near the second connecting part 202 to withstand a larger rotational torque, while the part near the bottom of the connecting cavity 101 provides stronger support and compressive strength. This design enhances the overall rigidity and deformation resistance of the first connecting part 201, effectively resisting deformation even under large external forces.

[0040] More preferably, the end of the first connecting part 201 is provided with a first hinge block 205, and the end of the second connecting part 202 is provided with a second hinge block 206. The first hinge block 205 and the second hinge block 206 are hinged together, and one of the first hinge block 205 and the second hinge block 206 is provided with a ring-shaped spaced positioning protrusions 207, and the other one of them is in contact with the positioning protrusions 207.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first connecting part 201 and the second connecting part 202 are connected by a hinge block, and one of the hinge blocks is provided with a positioning protrusion 207. The positioning protrusion 207 is distributed around the hinge axis of the first connecting part 201 and the second connecting part 202, which not only ensures that the first connecting part 201 and the second connecting part 202 can flexibly switch between multiple preset angles, but also achieves precise angle control and stable positioning function through the friction and support force provided by the positioning protrusion 207. At the same time, the design of the positioning protrusion 207 helps to disperse the stress at the hinge, reduce the risk of local stress concentration, and extend the service life of the hinge component. Especially when the angle is frequently adjusted, this design can effectively reduce the wear of the component and improve the durability of the overall structure.

[0042] It is worth mentioning that the hinge point of the second connecting part 202 and the third connecting part 203 is also provided with a positioning protrusion 207, and each connecting part is provided with a hole-shaped reinforcing rib at the hinge block to enhance the strength of the hinge block.

[0043] Preferably, the connector 100 includes a plug post 102, an abutment ring 103 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the plug post 102, and a plug cavity is provided on the swing frame 300, with the abutment ring 103 and the cavity wall of the plug cavity being interference fit.

[0044] In this embodiment, by providing an abutment ring 103 on the outer peripheral surface of the plug post 102 and making it interference fit with the wall of the plug cavity on the swing frame 300, a tight and gapless connection between the connector 100 and the swing frame 300 is ensured; at the same time, the design of the abutment ring 103 helps to optimize stress distribution, so that the plug post 102 can evenly disperse stress when subjected to large external forces, reducing the risk of local stress concentration.

[0045] Preferably, the abutment ring 103 has grooves 104 spaced apart. The presence of the grooves 104 makes it easier for the abutment ring 103 to be inserted into the insertion cavity, reducing the resistance during installation, while still providing sufficient friction to ensure a stable fixation. At the same time, the design of the grooves 104 helps to optimize stress distribution, so that the insertion post 102 can evenly disperse stress when subjected to large external forces, reducing the risk of local stress concentration.

[0046] In a further preferred embodiment, contact blocks 105 are spaced apart on the outer peripheral surface of the plug post 102, and an inclined guide surface is provided on the contact block 105. When the plug post 102 is plugged and fixed with the plug cavity, the inclined guide surface first abuts against the cavity wall of the plug cavity.

[0047] In this embodiment, the inclined guide surface design serves as a guide, making it easier for the plug post 102 to be inserted into the plug cavity. When the plug post 102 approaches the plug cavity, the inclined guide surface first contacts the cavity wall. Through its inclined surface design, it can gradually guide the plug post 102 into the plug cavity, reducing the resistance and difficulty during insertion. Moreover, the inclined guide surface can automatically adjust the position of the plug post 102 during the insertion process to ensure that it is accurately aligned with the center position of the plug cavity, thereby avoiding insertion difficulties or damage risks caused by misalignment.

[0048] In a further preferred embodiment, the insertion post 102 is provided with a mounting cavity 106, the mounting cavity 106 is provided with a connecting post 107, the connecting cavity 101 is located on the connecting post 107, and a gap is provided between the connecting post 107 and the cavity wall of the mounting cavity 106.

[0049] In this embodiment, by providing a gap between the connecting post 107 and the cavity wall of the mounting cavity 106, stress concentration caused by factors such as thermal expansion and contraction or mechanical vibration can be effectively reduced; the existence of the gap allows the connecting post 107 to make slight movements and adjustments within a certain range, which helps to compensate for manufacturing errors and assembly deviations, and ensures the final installation accuracy and stability.

Figure 1 As shown, as an optional feature, the swing set 300 is equipped with an ambient light that is electrically connected to the solar panel 301.
