Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar panel technology, and in particular to a foldable waterproof solar panel. Background Technology

[0002] The core function of solar panels (also known as solar cells or photovoltaic panels) is to convert solar radiation energy directly or indirectly into electrical energy through the photoelectric effect or photochemical effect, so as to power various equipment or systems.

[0003] In the prior art, a search revealed a Chinese patent disclosing "A Foldable Solar Panel," application number "202120370333.9." This patent mainly includes a first solar panel, a second solar panel on one side of the first solar panel, a handle on the side of the first solar panel away from the second solar panel, a support rod on the back of the first solar panel near the handle, a connecting block on the outside of the support rod, a moving strip inside the connecting block, a groove at the other end of the moving strip, two flip hinges on the back of the first solar panel near the second solar panel, a first power controller on the back of the first solar panel, a second power controller on the back of the second solar panel, and an output device on the back of the first solar panel near the first power controller. While this patent utilizes flip hinges to connect the two solar panels, achieving folding and storage, rapid movement, and adjustment of the sunlight angle to increase illumination time, it is not explicitly stated that the patent's design allows for easy connection of the two solar panels via two flip hinges. However, stacking the first and second solar panels solely through a hinge still results in a relatively large volume for each individual solar panel, leading to a low overall volume compression ratio, a large space occupation, and inconvenience for movement, carrying, and storage in outdoor and other environments. Therefore, this invention provides a foldable waterproof solar panel to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a foldable waterproof solar panel. Through the sliding cooperation of the guide block and the guide groove, the multi-layer frame can be opened or closed synchronously by simply pulling or pushing the uppermost second frame.

[0026] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-8This utility model discloses a foldable waterproof solar panel, comprising a first frame 1, with multiple second frames 2 on both the upper and lower sides of the first frame 1, stacked together. Solar panels 3 are fixed inside both the second frames 2 and the first frame 1, with an ETFE film on the surface of the solar panel 3. The ETFE film has a nano-hydrophobic coating, which maintains the light transmittance of the solar panel while improving waterproof performance and reducing dust adhesion. Guide blocks 11 are symmetrically fixed on one side of the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 near their ends. Guide grooves 12 are symmetrically formed inside the second frame 2. Both the guide blocks 11 and the guide grooves 12 have T-shaped cross-sections, and the guide blocks 11 slide within the guide grooves 12.

[0028] When the second frame 2 is unfolded for use, pulling the top second frame 2 causes the guide groove 12 on it to slide in conjunction with the guide block 11. After the top second frame 2 is unfolded, the continuous movement of the second frame 2 pulls the lower second frame 2 to unfold through the guide block 11. By operating in sequence, all the second frames 2 can be unfolded, forming a larger rectangular power generation plane. When the second frame 2 needs to be folded for storage, pushing the top second frame 2 to move it allows all the second frames 2 to be folded for storage under the connection of the guide block 11. The folded size is small, making it easy to carry and store.

[0029] The first frame 1 has symmetrical support components on both sides. The support components include a second screw 9 fixed on the first frame 1, a support plate 5 sleeved on the second screw 9, and a second knob 10 threaded on the second screw 9. The support plate 5 has a rectangular groove 15 inside. The second screw 9 is located inside the groove 15. By adjusting the extension length of the support plate 5 through the groove 15, the tilt adjustment of the solar panel 3 can be realized to adapt to different light conditions.

[0030] When the second frame 2 is unfolded for use, rotate the support plate 5 to a vertical position and tighten the second knob 10 to position the support plate 5. Under the action of the support plate 5, the first frame 1 is supported, which can well support the entire solar panel for use and better obtain sunlight.

[0031] Limiting components are provided on the other two opposite sides of the first frame 1. The limiting components include a first screw 7 fixed on the first frame 1, a limiting plate 6 sleeved on the first screw 7, and a first knob 8 threaded on the first screw 7.

[0032] After the second frame 2 is folded and retracted, rotate the limiting plate 6 to the vertical position and tighten the first knob 8. The limiting plate 6 can hold the second frame 2 in place during folding to prevent the second frame 2 from unfolding freely.

[0033] A sealing plate 4 is embedded inside the second frame 2, which is farther away from the first frame 1, to protect the outermost solar panel 3 from damage caused by external forces during movement, carrying, or storage. The sealing plate 4 has notches 14 on both sides for easy access from inside the second frame 2. Magnets 13 are fixed to the opposite side of the sealing plate 4 and the second frame 2, and the attraction between the magnets 13 positions the sealing plate 4, ensuring its stable installation.

[0034] Working principle: When the second frame 2 is unfolded for use, the top second frame 2 is pulled, causing the guide groove 12 on it to slide in conjunction with the guide block 11. After the top second frame 2 is unfolded, the continuous movement of the second frame 2 pulls the lower second frame 2 to unfold through the guide block 11. By operating in sequence, the unfolding of all the second frames 2 can be completed, forming a larger rectangular power generation plane.

[0035] Furthermore, when the second frame 2 is unfolded for use, the support plate 5 is rotated to a vertical position, and the second knob 10 is tightened to position the support plate 5. Under the action of the support plate 5, the first frame 1 is supported, thereby supporting the entire solar panel for use and better obtaining sunlight.

[0036] When the second frame 2 needs to be folded and stored, push the top second frame 2 to move. Under the connection of the guide block 11, the folding and storage operation of all the second frames 2 can be completed. After folding, the volume is small, making it easy to carry and store.

[0037] Then, rotate the limiting plate 6 to the vertical position and tighten the first knob 8. The limiting plate 6 can hold the second frame 2 in place when folding to prevent the second frame 2 from unfolding freely.

[0038] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
