AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The multi-support structure design of existing foldable solar modules requires the simultaneous operation of multiple components during the folding process, which can easily lead to mutual interference.

Method used

The support structure consists of a fixed plate, a connecting plate, a rotating plate, and a rotating column. The entire folding plate is supported by a single support structure. The design of the inner and outer magnetic strips and the elastic support strips prevents the folding plate from scattering and the photovoltaic panel from colliding.

Benefits of technology

This design enables a single support structure to support the entire folded panel, avoiding interference between multiple support structures and ensuring the stability of the folded panel and the safety of the photovoltaic panel.

Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of solar energy modules and discloses a foldable solar energy module, including a fixing plate disposed below a foldable plate. A plurality of photovoltaic panels are disposed on the top surface of the foldable plate. An installation groove is formed on the top surface of the fixing plate, and a connecting plate is hinged inside the installation groove. The bottom surface of the foldable plate is fixed to the top surface of the connecting plate. Two storage slots are formed on the top surface of the connecting plate. A rotating column is fixed to the bottom surface of the storage slot, and a rotating plate is rotatably sleeved on the rotating column. The rotating plate is slidably disposed with respect to the storage slot. In this utility model, the fixing plate, connecting plate, rotating plate, and rotating column form a support structure. After the rotating plate rotates, the rotating plate, which rotates out of the storage slot, supports the unfolded foldable plate. Therefore, a single support structure can support the entire foldable plate, avoiding interference between multiple support structures.
