Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of RV technology, specifically a solar charging and sunshade integrated flip panel hidden on the roof of a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, RVs are gradually becoming a popular form of leisure travel. However, the issue of electricity for RVs has always been a problem for RV users. Because RVs are not parked in fixed locations and cannot be easily connected to the mains power like ordinary residences, using solar panels to provide electricity for RVs has become a popular trend.

[0003] Currently, RV solar panels are typically fixed to the roof of the RV, allowing for power generation during parking or travel. However, when the RV is parked and people are outdoors, the fixed solar panels have a limited area for receiving sunlight, reducing their power generation efficiency. Furthermore, the direct sunlight makes it inconvenient for people to stay outside the RV. Therefore, we propose a retractable solar charging and sunshade panel that is hidden in the roof. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an integrated solar charging and sunshade flip panel that is hidden in the roof of a vehicle, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0024] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0025] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a solar charging and sunshade integrated flip panel hidden on the roof of a vehicle, comprising: guide components 2 set on both sides of the top of the roof 1, multi-layer photovoltaic panels 3 installed on both sides of the roof 1 through the guide components 2, the guide components 2 being used at least for the sliding outward unfolding of the multi-layer photovoltaic panels 3, a locking component 4 being set between the multi-layer photovoltaic panels 3 on both sides, the locking component 4 being used at least for locking the multi-layer photovoltaic panels 3 after they are retracted, a sunshade module 5 being set on the outer side of the multi-layer photovoltaic panels 3, the sunshade module 5 being a foldable structure, being used at least for unfolding to provide sunshade around the RV when the RV is parked, and a hidden fence component 6 being set on the top of the roof 1, the fence component 6 being flipped and combined after the multi-layer photovoltaic panels 3 are unfolded outward, forming an active platform above the roof 1.

[0026] In this embodiment, the vehicle includes a roof 1; a mounting groove 11 is provided in the middle of the roof 1, and the fence assembly 6 is disposed inside the mounting groove 11. The mounting groove 11 is a sunken structure to accommodate the fence assembly 6. At the same time, the two sides of the mounting groove 11 are open, so that rainwater will not accumulate above the roof 1 when it rains.

[0027] In this embodiment, guide components 2 are provided on both sides of the top of the roof 1. The guide components 2 are used for the sliding outward unfolding of the multi-layer photovoltaic panels 3. The guide components 2 are arranged perpendicular to the driving direction of the RV. The guide components 2 include a guide rail 21 fixed above the roof 1. A slide block 23 is slidably connected to the upper outside of the guide rail 21. The photovoltaic panels slide on the guide rail 21 through the slide block 23 to realize the unfolding and storage of the photovoltaic panels.

[0028] Specifically, a fixing block 22 is fixedly installed on one side of the guide rail 21, and a follower block 24 is fixedly installed on one side of the multi-layer photovoltaic panel 3. The follower block 24 moves synchronously with the photovoltaic panel, while the fixing block 22 is installed on the guide rail 21. When the photovoltaic panel moves to the end of the guide rail 21, the fixing block 22 is used to stop the follower block 24. The fixing block 22 and the follower block 24 are used to limit the photovoltaic panel when it is unfolded and when it is retracted, thus ensuring the stability of the photovoltaic panel on the roof of the vehicle.

[0029] In this embodiment, multi-layer photovoltaic panels 3 are installed on both sides of the roof 1 via guide components 2. The multi-layer photovoltaic panels 3 are arranged in an upper and lower combination manner, and the number of layers of the multi-layer photovoltaic panels 3 is at least two. When the multi-layer photovoltaic panels 3 are unfolded, the lower photovoltaic panels are absorbed and moved, and then the upper photovoltaic panels are moved. The design of two layers of photovoltaic panels improves the efficiency of solar power generation. At the same time, the unfolding of the photovoltaic panels can also provide shade around the RV.

[0030] In this embodiment, a locking assembly 4 is provided between the multi-layer photovoltaic panels 3 on both sides. The locking assembly 4 is used to lock the multi-layer photovoltaic panels 3 on both sides after they are stored. The locking assembly 4 includes an ear seat 41 provided on the outside of the multi-layer photovoltaic panels 3, and a pin 42 is inserted into the inside of the ear seat 41. A limiting piece 43 is fixedly provided on the outside of the pin 42 above the ear seat 41. The limiting piece 43 abuts against the upper surface of the ear seat 41, and a locking nut 44 is threaded onto the bottom end of the pin 42. After the multi-layer photovoltaic panels 3 on both sides are stored on the roof 1, the operator inserts the pin 42 into the hole in the ear seat 41 and fixes it to the bottom end of the pin 42 with the locking nut 44, so that the multi-layer photovoltaic panels 3 on both sides can be connected into a whole, and the multi-layer photovoltaic panels 3 can be fixed on the roof 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, a sunshade module 5 is provided on the outer side of the multi-layer photovoltaic panel 3. The sunshade module 5 is a foldable structure, which is used at least to provide sunshade around the RV when it is parked. The sunshade module 5 includes a storage box 51 fixed on the outer side of the multi-layer photovoltaic panel 3. A roller 52 is provided inside the storage box 51, and a drive module 54 is provided at one end of the roller 52. The drive module 54 is a servo motor. A sunshade cloth 53 is wound on the roller 52. Folding frames 55 are provided on both sides of the storage box 51, and a panel 56 is provided at the far end of the folding frame 55. After the sunshade module 5 is unfolded along with the multi-layer photovoltaic panel 3, the operator can start the drive module 54 as needed, thereby driving the roller 52 and the folding frame 55 to move, realizing the unfolding of the folding frame 55. At the same time, the sunshade cloth 53 unfolds from the roller 52, thereby realizing the sunshade effect around the RV using the sunshade cloth 53.

[0032] In this embodiment, a hidden fence assembly 6 is provided on the top of the vehicle roof 1. After the multi-layer photovoltaic panels 3 are unfolded outward, the fence assembly 6 is flipped and combined to form a movable platform above the vehicle roof 1. The fence assembly 6 includes a hinge seat 61 located at the top edge of the vehicle roof 1, and a flip fence 62 is provided on the hinge seat 61. Several combined fences 63 are also provided above the vehicle roof 1. The operator first flips the flip fence 62 along the hinge seat 61 to a vertical state, and then removes the combined fence 63 from the inside of the mounting slot 11 to achieve splicing connection at the end of the flip fence 62. Thus, a closed fence state is formed at the top of the vehicle roof. Using the fence assembly 6, after the multi-layer photovoltaic panels 3 are unfolded, a movable platform can be formed on the vehicle roof, allowing people to climb onto the vehicle roof for sightseeing.
