Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic module technology, and in particular to a roof-mounted folding photovoltaic drone battery charging device. Background Technology
[0002] In the fields of geological exploration, mine design, geological hazard assessment and mitigation, and engineering surveying, drones have become important tools due to their flexibility and efficiency. For example, Yichang Shunan Geological and Mineral Engineering Technology Co., Ltd. often uses remote-controlled aerial photography drones (the company has two sets of such equipment) to complete field data collection tasks when carrying out aerial photogrammetry and remote sensing, geological hazard investigation, and mine ecological restoration monitoring.
[0003] Field operations are often far from urban power grids, making drone battery life a key factor limiting operational efficiency. Currently, drone battery charging mainly relies on portable chargers or spare batteries, but the number of spare batteries is limited and their weight is significant, increasing the burden of field transportation. Portable chargers, on the other hand, require generator power, which is not only noisy and fuel-intensive but also incurs high maintenance costs and environmental pollution. Especially in mountainous areas such as Xingshan County, Changyang County, and Wufeng County, as well as remote areas like Tibet, the complex terrain and remote locations further exacerbate the charging challenges, frequently leading to operational interruptions due to insufficient battery power and impacting project progress.
[0004] While existing photovoltaic charging devices can solve the power supply problem using solar energy, traditional photovoltaic panels are mostly fixed structures with a large area, making them inconvenient to install on field vehicles (such as the three field survey vehicles provided by the company). If small photovoltaic panels are used, there is a problem of insufficient power generation, which is difficult to meet the fast charging requirements of drone batteries. Therefore, this utility model proposes a novel solution. Utility Model Content

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 the 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.

It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.
[0034] In the description of the present utility model, greater than, less than, exceeding, etc. are understood as not including the number itself, and above, below, within, etc. are understood as including the number itself. If the first and second are described only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features, it cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features or the sequence relationship of the indicated technical features.
[0035] In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly defined, words such as set, install, connect, etc. should be understood in a broad sense. Those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above words in the present utility model in combination with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 1-6 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a roof folding photovoltaic drone battery charging device. Installation and fixation: Through the connecting block 8 on the surface of the photovoltaic panel connecting plate 6, the device is fixed on the roof of the special vehicle for field investigation. The connecting block 8 cooperates with the preset card slot on the roof to ensure the stability of the device when the vehicle is driving.
[0037] Unfolding for charging: When charging is required, place the mounting plate 1 and the photovoltaic panel 5 horizontally on the roof with the front side facing up, and unfold multiple photovoltaic panel connecting plates 6 and the photovoltaic panel 5 through the hinge plate 7. According to the light intensity and charging requirements, more photovoltaic panels 5 can be connected through the hinge plate 7 to expand the power generation area; the drone battery is placed on both sides of the photovoltaic panel controller 2 and charged through the charging interfaces at its upper and lower ends.
[0038] Protection mechanism: Four support rods 3 are located outside the four corners of the photovoltaic panel controller 2 and are fixedly connected to the "day" - shaped controller protection frame 4. It can not only block debris such as gravel and branches during field operations from colliding, but also block direct sunlight and rainwater, ensuring the normal operation of the photovoltaic panel controller 2. At the same time, the horizontal structure of the controller protection frame 4 can temporarily place the battery to be charged.
[0039] Folding and storage: When not in use, fold the photovoltaic panel 5 and the photovoltaic panel connecting plate 6 so that multiple photovoltaic panels 5 are stacked together. Snap the photovoltaic panel limit block 9 with the photovoltaic panel connecting plate 6, and insert the connecting block 8 on the surface of the photovoltaic panel connecting plate 6 into the through - slot 10 of the photovoltaic panel limit block 9 to achieve stable storage and reduce the space occupied by the device;
[0040] After being stored, it can be lifted from both sides by two people using the poles on both sides of the controller protective frame 4, or lifted by a single person using the pole in the middle, making it easy to carry and transfer in complex terrain in the wild.
[0041] Example 1:
[0042] During a geological environment survey of a mine in Xingshan County, the device was installed on the roof of a field survey vehicle via connecting block 8. During breaks in daytime operations, the photovoltaic panel 5 was unfolded, and multiple photovoltaic panels were connected via hinge plate 7 to increase power generation. The drone battery was placed on both sides of the photovoltaic panel controller 2 for charging. The support rod 3 and the controller protective frame 4 effectively blocked falling rocks from the mountains to ensure smooth charging.
[0043] Example 2:
[0044] When carrying out geological disaster control projects in remote areas of Tibet, due to the long operation cycle and difficulty in resupply, multiple photovoltaic panels 5 are expanded by hinged plate 7 to continuously charge multiple sets of drone batteries using the abundant local sunlight; when finishing work, the photovoltaic panels 5 are folded and stored through photovoltaic panel limiting block 9. The device is compact and does not affect the vehicle's travel on rugged mountain roads.
[0045] 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.
