Detailed Implementation

[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] This embodiment discloses a photovoltaic panel device for the deployment and retrieval of a motorhome, referring to... Figures 1-3 As shown, it includes a lead screw 3, a sliding member 4, a coupling 5, and a power output shaft 6. Each component is supported by a frame. The lead screw 3 is rotatably connected to the frame. A load ball bearing 31 is threadedly connected to the outer circumference of the lead screw 3, and a threaded lead screw transmission structure is formed between the load ball bearing 31 and the lead screw 3.

[0023] The sliding component 4 is used to install and support the object to be slidable. It is slidably installed on the frame through components such as slide rails, and the sliding direction is along the length of the lead screw 3, forming a lead screw driven sliding structure.

[0024] The sliding member 4 is fixedly connected to the load ball device 31. During operation, the lead screw 3 rotates, and the lead screw 3 and the load ball device 31 form a threaded screw drive, which can drive the load ball device 31 and the sliding member 4 to slide synchronously and adjust along the slide rail.

[0025] In this embodiment, the power output shaft 6 and the lead screw 3 are coaxially arranged and connected to each other by a coupling 5. The coupling 5 includes a coupling half 1 and a coupling half 2. The coupling half 1 51 is installed at the end of the lead screw 3, and the coupling half 2 52 is installed at the end of the power output shaft 6. The coupling half 1 51 and the coupling half 2 52 are connected to achieve rotational linkage.

[0026] To maintain the stability of the power output shaft 6 in a stationary state, a worm gear mechanism can be used for transmission. During the driving process, the worm drives the worm wheel to rotate, which enables the output of power. In the non-driving state, the worm gear mechanism can achieve relative self-locking to avoid unnecessary accidental slippage.

[0027] In this embodiment, the photovoltaic panel device for RV deployment and retraction also includes a gearbox 10, which accommodates and supports various transmission components. The power output shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the gearbox 10, and both ends of the power output shaft 6 extend out of the gearbox 10. Moreover, in this embodiment, the power output shaft 6 is used for adjusting the deployment and retraction of the photovoltaic panels and does not require long-term high-speed rotation. Therefore, the power output shaft 6 will not experience excessive wear and can operate normally.

[0028] Furthermore, this embodiment also includes a drive motor 11, which is fixedly installed in the gearbox 10. A transmission mechanism is installed inside the gearbox 10, which enables the drive motor 11 and the power output shaft 6 to be linked.

[0029] In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism includes a gear mechanism 8 and a worm gear mechanism 9. The gear mechanism 8 and the worm gear mechanism 9 can transmit the torque of the drive motor 11 and drive the power output shaft 6 to rotate. Specifically, the drive motor 11 and the gear mechanism 8 are transmitted through the worm gear mechanism 9. The drive motor 11 directly drives the worm gear mechanism 9, and the power is transmitted through the power between the worm gear mechanism 9 and the gear mechanism 8, which in turn drives the power output shaft 6 to rotate.

[0030] Specifically, the gear mechanism 8 includes gear one 81 and gear two 82. Gear one 81 is coaxially mounted on the power output shaft 6, and gear two 82 is rotatably mounted inside the gearbox 10. Gear one 81 and gear two 82 mesh with each other to achieve a transmission connection. Gear one 81 and gear two 82 are compatible spur gears with their axes aligned with the power output shaft 6, enabling the gear mechanism 8 to achieve normal meshing transmission. The number of gears in the gear mechanism 8 can be specifically set according to transmission requirements; it can be two or more to form a suitable meshing transmission structure.

[0031] The worm gear mechanism 9 includes a worm wheel 91 and a worm 92 that mesh and drive each other. The worm 92 is mounted on the motor shaft of the drive motor 11 and is directly driven to rotate by the drive motor 11. The worm wheel 91 is coaxially mounted with gear 82, and the worm wheel 91 and gear 82 maintain synchronous operation through a transmission shaft. The worm wheel 91 and worm 92 mesh and drive each other. When the worm 92 rotates, it can mesh and drive the worm wheel 91 to rotate, thus enabling normal operation. When pushing the photovoltaic panel to move, a self-locking situation can be generated between the worm wheel 91 and worm 92, thereby preventing the sliding part 4 from slipping unexpectedly.

[0032] In this embodiment, the photovoltaic panel device for the RV's deployment and retraction also includes photovoltaic panel 1 and photovoltaic panel 2, which are stacked one on top of the other. Photovoltaic panel 1 is located on the lower layer and is fixedly installed on the vehicle's roof, connected to the frame. Photovoltaic panel 2 can slide relative to photovoltaic panel 1 and has an open and a retracted state. The adjustment of the photovoltaic panel between the open and retracted states is achieved by sliding photovoltaic panel 2.

[0033] Specifically, a slide rail 101 is installed on the frame on the top of the vehicle. A sliding member 201 is slidably connected to the slide rail 101 and is fixedly connected to the photovoltaic panel 2, allowing the photovoltaic panel 2 to slide and adjust relative to the photovoltaic panel 1. In this embodiment, the photovoltaic panel 2 can be driven to slide by a screw mechanism.

[0034] Specifically, the sliding member 4 is fixedly connected to the photovoltaic panel 2, and the sliding direction of the photovoltaic panel 2 is consistent with the moving direction of the sliding member 4, thereby enabling the photovoltaic panel 2 to achieve the retraction and extension movement.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 As shown, when photovoltaic panel 2 slides directly above photovoltaic panel 1, the two overlap, allowing photovoltaic panel 2 to retract and reducing the space occupied by the vehicle-mounted photovoltaic device. (Refer to...) Figure 2 As shown, when photovoltaic panel 2 slides to a position offset from photovoltaic panel 1, photovoltaic panel 2 can be unfolded, which can increase the area of ​​photovoltaic panels and improve the efficiency of photovoltaic power generation.

[0036] During the adjustment process of the photovoltaic panel device, the drive motor 11 can drive the worm 92 to rotate, and the worm 92 can drive the worm wheel 91 to rotate. The worm wheel 91 is coaxially connected with the second gear 82 and can maintain synchronous rotation. Then, the second gear 82 will mesh and drive the first gear 81 to rotate. At the same time, the first gear 81 can drive the power output shaft 6, and the power output shaft 6 can drive the lead screw 3 to rotate through the coupling 5. During the rotation of the lead screw 3, a threaded transmission can be formed between it and the load ball bearing 31, which can drive the sliding member 4 to slide, and then drive the second photovoltaic panel 2 on the sliding member 4 to slide and adjust. After the second photovoltaic panel 2 has been actively adjusted, when the second photovoltaic panel 2 is pushed and slid by an external force, the worm wheel 91 and the worm 92 can form a self-locking mechanism, which can prevent the second photovoltaic panel 2 from being easily pushed, so as to maintain the stability of the position of the second photovoltaic panel 2.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the photovoltaic panel device for RV retraction and extension also includes two limit switches 7, which are located at opposite ends of the sliding stroke of the slider 4. When the slider 4 (photovoltaic panel 2) moves to the limit position of its stroke, it will sense the limit switch 7 on one side, triggering a control signal from the motor controller 12, which in turn controls the drive motor 11 to stop running, thereby controlling the adjustment stroke of the photovoltaic panel 2. When the slider 4 (photovoltaic panel 2) moves to the limit position on the other side of its stroke, it will sense the limit switch 7 on the other side, stopping the movement of the photovoltaic panel 2. Through the two limit switches 7, the formation of the photovoltaic panel 2 can be controlled within an appropriate range to ensure that the photovoltaic panel 2 can retract and extend normally.

All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
