Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of photovoltaic power generation technology, and in particular to a driving structure for a solar panel system. Background Technology

[0002] Prefabricated shipping containers are modular building units converted from standard shipping containers, combining transportation and architectural functions. They are generally used in construction sites, oil field exploration, and cultural tourism real estate. When used as buildings, prefabricated shipping containers can be equipped with solar panel systems to provide electricity to the interior of the container.

[0003] Solar panel systems typically have two states. When power is needed to supply electricity to the prefabricated housing container, the solar panels need to be fully unfolded, i.e., in the working state. When power is not needed to supply electricity to the prefabricated housing container, or when the prefabricated housing container needs to be moved, the solar panels can be retracted and folded into the unused state, or the retracted solar panels can be moved into the prefabricated housing container for transportation.

[0004] In traditional technology, to enable a solar panel system to switch between different states, a drive structure can be set in the solar panel system. The drive structure typically includes a power source and a transmission component that transmits the power output from the power source to the solar panel. The power source can be a turntable located outside the bottom frame of the solar panel system, and the transmission component can be a worm gear device located on the bottom frame and a drive rod connecting the worm gear device and the turntable.

[0005] However, since solar panel systems need to be stacked and transported in prefabricated housing containers, the exposed turntables not only require additional storage space from the prefabricated housing containers, but also when multiple solar panel systems are stacked, adjacent turntables may interfere with each other, resulting in low utilization of the contents of the prefabricated housing container or poor stability of the solar panel systems during transportation.

[0032] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] See Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the solar panel system provided in this application embodiment in an unused state; see also Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the solar panel system provided in the embodiment of this application in its usage state.

[0034] Depend on Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is understood that, in some embodiments, the solar panel system may include a base frame assembly 100, a first solar panel 200, a second solar panel 300, a transmission bracket 400, a transmission assembly 500, a fixing assembly 600, and a drive assembly 700.

[0035] The base frame assembly 100 provides support for other components and protects them when the solar panel system is not in use or is being moved. The base frame assembly can be made of high-strength steel, angle iron, or other materials to ensure effective support.

[0036] The first solar panel 200 and the second solar panel 300 are linked to the transmission bracket 400 and the transmission assembly 500, respectively. The transmission assembly 500 is driven by the drive assembly 700. The drive assembly 700 is connected to the transmission assembly 500 and provides driving force. When the solar panel system switches from an unused state to an active state, the drive assembly 700 drives the transmission assembly 500 to move, thereby causing the transmission assembly 500 to move the first solar panel 200 and the second solar panel 300 to move to both sides. Due to the limiting effect of the transmission bracket 400, the first solar panel 200 and the second solar panel 300 will respectively undergo a process of unfolding to both sides, eventually reaching a fully unfolded state (e.g., ...). Figure 2 ).

[0037] Conversely, when the solar panel system switches from an active state to an inactive state, the drive component 700 drives the transmission component 500 to move in the opposite direction. This causes the transmission component 500 to move the first solar panel 200 and the second solar panel 300 towards the center. Due to the limiting effect of the transmission bracket 400, the first solar panel 200 and the second solar panel 300 will respectively undergo a process of stacking towards the center, ultimately reaching the initial state (e.g., ...). Figure 1 ).

[0038] In some embodiments, when the solar panel system is not in use, it can be moved as a whole into a container for transportation. In order to enable a container to transport multiple sets of solar panel systems at the same time, a fixing component 600 can be set up. The fixing component 600 can fix the solar panel system to the container, and can also fix the stacked solar panel systems by means of its configuration with the bottom frame component 100.

[0039] When the entire solar panel system needs to be moved into a container for transportation, the volume requirement of the container is larger because part of the drive component 700 has an exposed structure. Furthermore, when multiple solar panel systems are stacked in the same container at the same time, the drive components 700 of two adjacent solar panel systems may cause mutual interference.

[0040] To address the issue of the drive component 700 occupying container space in related technologies, this application provides a drive structure for a solar panel system. By changing the drive component to a separate structure, the problems of difficulty in stacking and large space occupation can be effectively solved.

[0041] See Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the driving structure and the bottom frame assembly of the solar panel system provided in an embodiment of this application; see also... Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the driving structure of the solar panel system provided in the embodiments of this application;

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the driving structure provided in this application includes:

[0043] Transmission component 10; transmission component 10 is fixed to the upper surface of the bottom frame assembly 100; transmission component 10 has an input end and at least one output end, and transmission component 10 is used to output the power input at the input end to the output end to drive the solar panel connected to the output end to move.

[0044] In some embodiments, the transmission component 10 can be a worm gear structure, wherein the worm can correspond to the input end. When the worm rotates, the rotational force input by the worm can be converted into the rotational force output by the worm, thereby realizing the change of the direction of force movement.

[0045] In the embodiments of this application, there can be one output terminal, that is, the driving structure drives the movement of one solar panel alone, or there can be two output terminals, that is, the driving structure drives the movement of two solar panels simultaneously; when there are two output terminals, the two output terminals can be set in opposite directions along the same straight line.

[0046] Drive rod 20; drive rod 20 is connected to the input end of transmission component 10; the end of drive rod 20 away from transmission component 10 is provided with drive end 21, drive end 21 is used to connect to drive source; drive end 21 is used to provide an interface with drive source to transmit the driving force of drive source to drive rod 20.

[0047] In the embodiments of this application, the driving source can include both manual and non-manual methods. The manual method can be implemented by means of a turntable, wrench, manual screwdriver bit, etc., while the non-manual method can be implemented by means of an electric screwdriver, motor, etc.

[0048] The orthographic projection of the drive end 21 onto the plane of the bottom frame assembly is located inside the bottom frame assembly, meaning that the drive end 21 does not exceed the range of the bottom frame assembly. Thus, when the drive structure in this application is applied to the solar panel system, it will not occupy extra container space due to the exposed drive structure, nor will it cause the problem of adjacent solar panel systems encroaching on each other's space.

[0049] To achieve detachability and transmission capability between the drive end 21 and the drive source, the drive end 21 can adopt different design methods. Several feasible embodiments are described below.

[0050] See Figure 5 This is an end view of the driving end in one embodiment of the driving structure of the solar panel system provided in this application.

[0051] In some embodiments, by Figure 5 As shown, the drive end 21 may include a first protrusion 211, which extends away from the transmission member 20; ratchet teeth 212 are evenly distributed on the periphery of the first protrusion 211.

[0052] In this embodiment, when the drive end 21 has a protruding structure with ratchet 212, a drive source with a correspondingly shaped groove structure can be used to cooperate with it, thereby achieving the effect of rotating the drive end 21 in one direction (e.g., clockwise). The use of ratchet 212 prevents the drive end 21 from rotating on its own when not in operation, improving the stability and safety of the drive structure. The design of ratchet 212 makes the connection between the drive source and the drive end 21 more secure, avoiding accidental detachment or loosening due to vibration or external forces.

[0053] Furthermore, the uniform distribution of ratchet teeth 212 ensures the even transmission of driving force, preventing damage to the drive structure due to excessive local stress. Simultaneously, the extended design of the first protrusion 211 increases the contact area between the drive end 21 and the drive source, further improving the stability and reliability of the transmission.

[0054] See Figure 6 See also: An end view of the drive end in another embodiment of the drive structure of the solar panel system provided in this application; Figure 7 This is an end view of the drive end in another embodiment of the drive structure of the solar panel system provided in this application;

[0055] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The end face of the drive end 21 can have a groove 213, similar to the nut in a common bolt structure. The groove 213 can be a slotted groove, a cross-shaped groove, or any other arbitrary shape. In this way, a screwdriver bit that matches the groove 213 can be inserted into the groove 213, and the rotation of the screwdriver bit will drive the drive end 21 to rotate synchronously. Using the drive end 21 in the above embodiment, the processing cost is low and it is easy to manufacture and implement.

[0056] See Figure 8 This is a cross-sectional view of the drive end in one embodiment of the drive structure of the solar panel system provided in this application; see also Figure 9 This is a cross-sectional view of the drive end in another embodiment of the drive structure of the solar panel system provided in this application;

[0057] In some embodiments, see Figure 8 and Figure 9 The driving end 21 may include an outer wall 214, which extends inward to form a plurality of fixing blocks 215. The plurality of fixing blocks 215 form a first region for inserting a driving source. The first region is the region inside the outer wall 214 excluding the fixing blocks 215. Thus, when the driving source (e.g., an electric screwdriver bit) is connected to the driving end 21, the screwdriver bit of the driving source can be set according to the shape of the first region, or according to the shape that can be inserted into the first region and can form a mutual limiting effect with the fixing blocks 215, so that when the screwdriver bit of the driving source rotates, it can drive the fixing blocks 215 (driving end 21) to rotate synchronously.

[0058] It should be noted that, in Figure 8 and Figure 9 In this paper, only two possible forms of the fixing block 215 are illustrated. In actual applications, the fixing block 215 can also be set to other arbitrary shapes, which are not restricted here.

[0059] In some embodiments, the driving source can be an electric screwdriver, with the screwdriver bit engaging with the driving end 21 to electrically drive the drive rod 20 to rotate. For solar panel systems that frequently need to be unfolded or folded, operators can use a portable electric screwdriver to perform the unfolding or folding operations and then take the screwdriver away afterward.

[0060] See Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the manual drive source in the drive structure of the solar panel system provided in this application; see also Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of the installation of the manual drive source and the placement panel in the drive structure of the solar panel system provided in this application.

[0061] In some embodiments, by Figure 10 It is known that the driving source includes a turntable 31 and a connecting rod 32; one end of the connecting rod 32 is connected to the turntable 31, and the other end is detachably connected to the driving end 21; when the connecting rod 32 is connected to the driving end 21, the connecting rod 32 cooperates with the driving end 21 to make the driving rod 20 rotate synchronously with the turntable 31 by manual driving by the operator.

[0062] If the drive operation is performed by manually rotating the turntable 31, the operator must carry the turntable 31 and connecting rod 32 before performing the operation, considering the possibility of forgetting to bring them. In some embodiments, the drive structure in this application also includes a placement plate 33 fixed to the bottom frame assembly. The orthographic projection of the placement plate 33 onto the plane of the bottom frame assembly is located inside the bottom frame assembly, and it is provided with a through hole for the connecting rod 32 to pass through. In this way, after the operator performs the drive operation on the drive end 21 using the turntable 31, the turntable 31 and connecting rod 32 can be disassembled and inserted into the through hole of the placement plate 33. In this way, the turntable 31 and connecting rod 32 can be transported or placed together with other components. When the operator needs to adjust the state of the solar panel system, the turntable 31 and connecting rod 32 can be immediately removed from the placement plate 33 to perform the operation, which is more convenient.

[0063] It should be noted that when setting the position of the placement plate 33, in addition to considering that the placement plate 33 is located within the range of the bottom frame assembly 100, it is also necessary to consider that it will not obstruct the movement of the solar panel or other components. Furthermore, it is also necessary to consider that when the placement turntable 31 and connecting rod 32 are being removed, other components should not obstruct the turntable 31 and connecting rod 32. Therefore, the position of the placement plate 33 must be set reasonably.

[0064] See Figure 3In some embodiments, to improve the transmission effect, at least two sets of transmission components 10 can be provided. In this way, multiple transmission components 10 can simultaneously drive one (or more) solar panels, which can ensure the stability of the solar panel during the unfolding process. Correspondingly, multiple sets of transmission components can be driven simultaneously using the same drive source. Adjacent sets of transmission components 10 can be connected by driven shafts 40, which ensures both the synchronization of transmission and improves the transmission effect.

[0065] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this application effectively solves the problems of large space occupation and easy mutual interference between adjacent systems during the stacking and transportation of solar panel systems by changing the drive component to a separate structure. The separate structure of the drive component allows each part to work independently without interference, greatly improving the flexibility and practicality of the system.

[0066] It is readily understood that, based on the several embodiments provided in this application, those skilled in the art can combine, split, or reorganize the embodiments of this application to obtain other embodiments, none of which exceed the protection scope of this application.

[0067] The above detailed embodiments further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of the embodiments of this application. It should be understood that the above are merely specific embodiments of the embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the embodiments of this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made on the basis of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application should be included within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application.
