Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of solar power generation device technology, and in particular to a solar power generation device. Background Technology

[0002] A solar power system mainly consists of solar panels, battery packs, a controller, and an inverter. The solar panel is the most important component; its principle is to convert light energy into electrical energy. Although solar panels can be used independently, they cannot store electrical energy. They are generally used in conjunction with battery packs and a controller to form a complete solar power system. It is a clean and renewable energy source that plays a wide role in people's lives and work. It features no moving parts, no noise, no pollution, and high reliability, making it an excellent candidate for power supply systems in remote areas.

[0003] Environmental and geographical challenges in many areas make power supply inconvenient and equipment startup difficult. However, with the continuous development of solar power technology, power supply problems in remote, uninhabited areas, deserts, forests, and areas without mains power can be easily, simply, conveniently, and cost-effectively solved. This mature and stable energy supply has brought good news to areas with limited access to electricity. In addition, it offers advantages such as simple operation and installation, and maintenance-free operation. It is widely used to power small devices, such as solar streetlights, road monitoring systems, forest fire monitoring systems, and hydrological and water conservancy monitoring systems.

Furthermore, the solar panels are connected to the pitch and rotation drive mechanism via a support frame, resulting in a more dispersed center of gravity. In severe windy weather, the large surface area of ​​the solar panels can cause damage to the support frame, leading to breakage and ultimately damaging the entire device. Utility Model Content

[0017] In the embodiments of this application, addressing the problem that existing solar power generation devices lack limiting structures in their horizontal and vertical rotation drive mechanisms, resulting in some rotation angles during horizontal and vertical rotations that prevent the device from absorbing solar energy for power generation and causing the solar panel's deflection angle to be outside the optimal range, this application provides a solution by incorporating limiting structures into the solar power generation device. Specifically, this includes a control box, a horizontal rotation mechanism located on top of the control box, a pitch rotation mechanism located on top of the horizontal rotation mechanism, and a solar panel.

The pitch connector lowers the solar panel's center of gravity, concentrating it within the housing, making the entire device more stable. Attached Figure Description

[0030] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] The inventors discovered through analysis of existing technologies that the existing solar power generation devices do not have limiting structures for their tilting and rotating drive devices, which increases the unnecessary tilting and rotating angle. Furthermore, the solar panels are connected to the tilting and rotating drive devices via support frames, which makes the center of gravity of the entire device relatively dispersed. When encountering severe windy weather, the solar panels with larger stress areas are easily damaged and broken by the support frames they are connected to under the impact of strong winds.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-6 The diagram shows a structural schematic of a solar power generation device provided in this application.

[0033] A solar power generation device includes a control box 1, a horizontal rotation mechanism 2 located on top of the control box 1, a pitch rotation mechanism 3 located on top of the horizontal rotation mechanism 2, and a solar panel 4. The solar panel 4 is rotatably connected to the pitch rotation mechanism 3 via a pitch connector 3-05. The horizontal rotation mechanism 2 is provided with a first limiting mechanism. The pitch rotation mechanism 3 is provided with a second limiting mechanism.

[0034] It should be noted that in the field of outdoor geological monitoring, especially in cold weather and remote areas, powering the geological monitoring sensors is a problem when geological monitoring is required. The traditional method is to install a solar panel 4. This application designs a solar panel 4 that rotates with the sunlight.

[0035] It should be noted that the horizontal rotation angle of the horizontal rotation mechanism 2 is 0-180°, and the pitch angle of the pitch rotation mechanism 3 is 0-90°. This ensures that the solar panel 4 and the sunlight can maintain an efficient power generation angle, and there will be no ineffective rotation angle range, reducing the motor driving force required for the entire device.

[0036] In the embodiments of this application, addressing the problem that in the prior art, the horizontal and vertical rotation drive devices of solar power generation devices lack limiting structures, resulting in the entire device not absorbing solar energy for power generation at certain rotation angles during horizontal and vertical rotations, and the deflection angle of the solar panel 4 not being within the optimal range, this application provides a solution by setting limiting structures on the solar power generation device. Specifically, it includes a control box 1, a horizontal rotation mechanism 2 located on top of the control box 1, a pitch rotation mechanism 3 located on top of the horizontal rotation mechanism 2, and a solar panel 4. The solar panel 4 is rotatably connected to the pitch rotation mechanism 3 via a pitch connector 3-05. The horizontal rotation mechanism 2 is provided with a first limiting mechanism, and the pitch rotation mechanism 3 is provided with a second limiting mechanism. The above-mentioned device ensures that the solar panel 4 and the sunlight can be kept at an efficient power generation angle through two actions: horizontal rotation and pitch rotation. In windy weather, the solar panel 4 will be adjusted to a horizontal state to reduce wind resistance. At night, the solar panel 4 can be adjusted to a vertical state to allow dew, rain and snow to fall off. The setting of the pitch connector 3-05 lowers the center of gravity of the solar panel 4 and concentrates the center of gravity on the box, making the whole device more stable.
