[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 One embodiment provided by this utility model:

[0023] A foldable photovoltaic panel assembly for photovoltaic new energy includes a mounting plate 1. An adjustment structure 2 is internally arranged in the mounting plate 1. The adjustment structure 2 includes an electric telescopic rod 21. An adjustment plate 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the electric telescopic rod 21. Racks 23 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the adjustment plate 22. Gears 24 mesh with the surfaces of the racks 23. Rotating rods 25 are fixedly connected internally to the gears 24. A first photovoltaic panel 3 is fixedly connected to the surface of one set of rotating rods 25, and a second photovoltaic panel 4 is fixedly connected to the surface of another set of rotating rods 25. A slot 41 is formed on the top of the second photovoltaic panel 4, and slots 42 are formed on both sides of the slot 41. A locking structure 5 is provided on the top of photovoltaic panel 3. The locking structure 5 includes a fixing block 51. Slide grooves 52 are provided on both sides of the fixing block 51. A slider 53 is slidably connected inside the slide grooves 52. A connecting block 54 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider 53. An insert block 55 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting block 54. A pull rod 56 is fixedly connected to the surface of the slider 53. A spring 57 is fixedly connected to the other side of the slider 53. Protective pads 6 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of photovoltaic panel 3 and photovoltaic panel 4. An adjustment structure 2 is provided. An electric telescopic rod 21 drives the adjustment plate 22 to rise, which in turn drives the racks 2 on both sides of the bottom of the adjustment plate 22. 3. Moving upwards, rack 23 meshes with gear 24, causing gear 24 to drive rotating rod 25 to rotate. This allows photovoltaic panels 3 and 4 on the two sets of rotating rods 25 to rotate with the rotating rods 25, thus enabling the unfolding and folding of photovoltaic panels 3 and 4. The angle between photovoltaic panels 3 and 4 can be adjusted as needed, making it convenient to use. A locking structure 5 and a protective pad 6 are provided. When photovoltaic panels 3 and 4 are folded, the fixing block 51 on photovoltaic panel 3 moves into slot 41 on photovoltaic panel 4. During the movement, the edge of slot 41... The inclined surfaces of the insert block 55 contact each other, and as they move, the insert block 55 is pushed towards the slide groove 52. At this time, the spring 57 is compressed. When the fixing block 51 is fully inserted into the slot 41, the insert block 55 is aligned with the slot 42. Under the action of the spring 57, the slider 53 is pushed to insert the insert block 55 into the slot 42, thereby fixing the fixing block 51 in the slot 41. This allows the ends of the photovoltaic panel 3 and the photovoltaic panel 4 away from the mounting plate 1 to be fixed to each other. The protective pad 6 increases the stability of the photovoltaic panel 3 and the photovoltaic panel 4 when folded and stored, reduces the space occupied during transportation, and makes transportation safer.

[0024] Furthermore, two sets of mounting plates 1 and adjustment structures 2 are symmetrically arranged. Photovoltaic panel 3 and photovoltaic panel 4 are arranged between the two sets of mounting plates 1. The adjustment plate 22 is driven to rise by the electric telescopic rod 21, which in turn drives the racks 23 on both sides of the bottom of the adjustment plate 22 to move upward. The racks 23 mesh with the gears 24, so that the gears 24 drive the rotating rods 25 to rotate, thereby allowing the photovoltaic panels 3 and 4 on the two sets of rotating rods 25 to rotate with the rotating rods 25.

[0025] Furthermore, the electric telescopic rod 21 is electrically connected to an external power source. The external power source drives the electric telescopic rod 21, causing it to lift the adjusting plate 22. In turn, the angles of photovoltaic panel 3 and photovoltaic panel 4 are adjusted through the cooperation of rack 23 and gear 24.

[0026] Furthermore, a square groove is formed on the surface of the mounting plate 1, and the rack 23 is slidably connected in the square groove. The height of the rack 23 is greater than the height of the mounting plate 1, and the rack 23 will not slide out of the square groove. The photovoltaic panel 3 and the photovoltaic panel 4 are rotatable structures on the mounting plate 1, and the maximum rotation angle of the photovoltaic panel 3 and the photovoltaic panel 4 is 180 degrees.

[0027] Furthermore, the fixing block 51 is inserted into the slot 41, the cross-section of the insert block 55 is triangular, and the insert block 55 is inserted into the slot 42. The fixing block 51 on the photovoltaic panel 3 moves into the slot 41 on the photovoltaic panel 4. During the movement, the edge of the slot 41 contacts the inclined surface of the insert block 55, and pushes the insert block 55 to move towards the slide groove 52 as it moves.

[0028] Furthermore, the connecting block 54 passes through one side of the slide groove 52, and the two ends of the spring 57 are fixedly connected to the surface of the slider 53 and the inner wall of the slide groove 52 respectively. When the spring 57 is in its natural state, the slider 53 contacts the inner wall of the slide groove 52 away from the spring 57, and at this time the insert block 55 is in the slot 41.

[0029] Furthermore, a square groove 2 is provided on the top of the photovoltaic panel 3. The pull rod 56 passes through the square groove 2 and is fixedly connected to the slider 53. The length of the square groove 2 is less than the length of the slide groove 52. Pulling the pull rod 56 causes the slider 53 to move towards the side closer to the spring 57 in the slide groove 52. Through the connecting block 54, the insert block 55 moves from the slot 2 42 into the slide groove 52, so that the fixing block 51 and the slot 41 are no longer locked together, and the fixing of the photovoltaic panel 3 and the photovoltaic panel 4 is released. Thus, the angle of the photovoltaic panel 3 and the photovoltaic panel 4 can be adjusted by adjusting the structure 2.

[0030] Working principle: During use, the electric telescopic rod 21 drives the adjusting plate 22 to rise, which in turn drives the racks 23 on both sides of the bottom of the adjusting plate 22 to move upward. The racks 23 mesh with the gears 24, causing the gears 24 to drive the rotating rod 25 to rotate. This allows the photovoltaic panels 3 and 4 on the two sets of rotating rods 25 to rotate with the rotating rods 25, thus enabling the unfolding and folding of the photovoltaic panels 3 and 4. At the same time, the included angle between the photovoltaic panels 3 and 4 can be adjusted as needed. When the photovoltaic panels 3 and 4 are folded, the fixing block 51 on the photovoltaic panel 3 moves into the slot 41 on the photovoltaic panel 4. During the movement, the edge of the slot 41 contacts the inclined surface of the insertion block 55, and pushes the insertion block 55 towards the slide groove 52. At this time, the spring 57 is compressed. When the fixing block 51 is fully inserted... After being inserted into slot 1 41, the insert 55 aligns with slot 2 42. Under the action of spring 57, the slider 53 is pushed to insert the insert 55 into slot 2 42, thereby fixing the fixing block 51 in slot 1 41. This allows the ends of photovoltaic panels 1 3 and 2 4 away from the mounting plate 1 to be fixed to each other. The protective pad 6 increases the stability of photovoltaic panels 1 3 and 2 4 when folded and stored, reducing the space occupied during transportation and making transportation safer. Pulling the lever 56 moves the slider 53 in the slide groove 1 52 towards the side closer to spring 57. Through the connecting block 54, the insert 55 moves from slot 2 42 into the slide groove 1 52, no longer causing the fixing block 51 and slot 1 41 to lock together, releasing the fixation of photovoltaic panels 1 3 and 2 4. Thus, the angle of photovoltaic panels 1 3 and 2 4 can be adjusted by adjusting the structure 2.

[0031] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
