The power generation assembly is arranged at least partially in the frame. The shell comprises a top shell, a side shell and a bottom shell. The top shell, the side shell and the bottom shell cover different parts of the frame respectively. The top of the side shell is connected with the top shell, and the bottom of the side shell is connected with the bottom shell. The top of the side shell has an abutting wall surface facing the top shell. A water guide groove and a water outlet communicating with the water guide groove are arranged on the abutting wall surface. A water discharge hole is arranged on the bottom shell. The water guide groove can collect rainwater and guide the rainwater to flow out of the water outlet, so that the rainwater can flow away along the guide path of the water guide groove, thereby protecting the water-intolerant components or key components inside the power generation equipment and improving the reliability, safety and service life of the power generation equipment.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of power generation equipment technology, and more particularly to a power generation device. Background Technology

[0002] A generator produces electricity by consuming fuel oil, thus providing temporary power. A generator mainly consists of a generator and an engine. The engine drives the generator to rotate, converting the chemical energy of the fuel into mechanical energy, and the generator converts that mechanical energy into electrical energy.

[0003] In related technologies, the waterproof performance of oil-based motors is generally poor, making them unsuitable for outdoor use in rainy weather. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a power generation device that can improve the waterproof performance of generators, addressing a common technical problem.

[0005] This application provides a power generation device, which includes a frame, a power generation component, and a housing. The power generation component is at least partially disposed within the frame. The housing includes a top shell, side shells, and a bottom shell, which respectively cover different parts of the frame. The top of the side shell is connected to the top shell, and the bottom of the side shell is connected to the bottom shell. The top of the side shell has an abutting wall facing the top shell, and a water guiding channel and a drain outlet communicating with the water guiding channel are provided on the abutting wall. The bottom shell has a drain hole. The water guiding channel is used to limit the flow path of liquid to guide the liquid to flow from the drain outlet to the bottom shell and be discharged through the drain outlet.

[0006] Beneficial effects: When rainwater or other liquids seep in through the gap between the side shell and the top shell, the rainwater flows into the drainage channel. The drainage channel collects the rainwater and guides it out of the drain outlet, allowing the rainwater to flow away along the guiding path of the drainage channel instead of flowing randomly on the inner wall of the side shell. This avoids water-sensitive or critical components inside the power generation equipment, thus protecting these components and improving the reliability, safety, and service life of the power generation equipment.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0014] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments of this application can be combined with each other, but only if they are based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this application.

[0015] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this application embodiment provides a power generation device 100, which includes a power generation component 120 and a housing 130.

[0016] The power generation assembly 120 is used for generating electricity. The power generation assembly 120 includes an engine 122, a generator 125, etc. The engine 122 rotates by burning fuel. The engine 122 is connected to the generator 125 via a transmission connection, and the engine 122 can drive the generator 125 to rotate, thereby generating electricity. Optionally, the engine 122 and the generator 125 are integrated into one unit, making the structure of the power generation assembly 120 more compact and the size of the power generation device 100 smaller. The engine 122 can be a gasoline engine, diesel engine, natural gas engine, etc., and the generator 125 can be an AC generator 125, a DC generator 125, etc.

[0017] The housing 130 includes a top shell 1311, side shells 132, and a bottom shell 1331. The top of the side shell 132 is connected to the top shell 1311, and the bottom of the side shell 132 is connected to the bottom shell 1331. The housing 130 can prevent external debris and rainwater from entering the interior of the power generation equipment 100, thus providing a certain degree of dust and water protection, and protecting the power generation component 120 from accidental collisions, compression, or damage during handling. In addition, the housing 130 also has a certain noise reduction effect, which can isolate the noise generated by the operation of the power generation component 120 to a certain extent.

[0018] Alternatively, the housing 130 can be made of plastic, which is lightweight, low-cost, and easy to process, allowing it to be injection molded into various complex shapes and providing insulation. Alternatively, the housing 130 can be made of metal, which provides better heat dissipation performance, assisting the power generation component 120 in heat dissipation, and also has high strength, good load-bearing capacity, is not easily damaged, and has a long service life.

[0019] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the power generation device 100 further includes a frame 110, with a top shell 1311, side shells 132, and bottom shell 1331 covering different parts of the frame 110. Optionally, the top shell 1311 covers the top of the frame 110, the side shells 132 cover the sides of the frame 110, and the bottom shell 1331 covers the bottom of the frame 110. The frame 110, as the internal skeleton of the power generation device 100, can improve the rigidity of the power generation device 100. The engine 122 and generator 125 will vibrate during operation; the frame 110 can reduce the deformation caused by vibration, lower the overall vibration level of the power generation device 100, and reduce the vibration and noise transmitted by the power generation device 100. Furthermore, the frame 110 itself has a higher natural frequency, making it less likely to resonate with the power generation component 120.

[0020] The power generation component 120 is at least partially disposed within the frame 110, which provides a solid mounting foundation for the power generation component 120, making it less prone to displacement during operation and transportation. The connection method between the power generation component 120 and the frame 110 can be, for example, screwing, snap-fitting, bonding, welding, etc., and is not limited thereto.

[0021] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the side shell 132 includes a first side plate 1323, a second side plate 1324, a third side plate 1325, and a fourth side plate 1326, which are sequentially connected to form a cylindrical structure. Optionally, at least one of the first side plate 1323, the second side plate 1324, the third side plate 1325, and the fourth side plate 1326 is provided with reinforcing ribs to improve structural strength. Optionally, the areas of the first side plate 1323 and the third side plate 1325 are similar, and the areas of the second side plate 1324 and the fourth side plate 1326 are similar. Optionally, the areas of the first side plate 1323 and the third side plate 1325 are relatively large, and the areas of the second side plate 1324 and the fourth side plate 1326 are relatively small.

[0022] Optionally, both the second side plate 1324 and the fourth side plate 1326 are recessed to form transport grooves, allowing the user's fingers to be inserted into these grooves to facilitate lifting the generator 100 and thus making it easier for the user to move the generator 100. The distance between the second side plate 1324 and the fourth side plate 1326 is relatively large, allowing the user's arms to extend further, thus facilitating the user's exertion of force.

[0023] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the top of the side shell 132 has an abutment wall 1321 facing the top shell 1311. The abutment wall 1321 is provided with a water guide channel 132a and a drain outlet 132b communicating with the water guide channel 132a. The water guide channel 132a is used to define the flow path of the liquid, guiding the liquid from the drain outlet 132b to the bottom shell 1331, and then discharging it through the drain outlet 132b. The liquid can be rainwater, melted snow, water splashed from the ground, etc. Rainwater will be used as an example in the following description. When rainwater seeps in through the gap between the side shell 132 and the top shell 1311, it flows into the water guide channel 132a. The water guide channel 132a collects the rainwater and guides it out through the drain outlet 132b, ensuring the rainwater flows along its designated path instead of randomly flowing along the inner wall of the side shell 132. This avoids water-sensitive or critical components inside the power generation equipment 100, protecting them and improving its reliability, safety, and service life. The power generation equipment 100 can be used outdoors without additional protective measures.

[0024] Optionally, the side shell 132 can be at least one of a first side shell 132, a second side shell 132, a third side shell 132, and a fourth side shell 132, that is, at least one of the first side plate 1323, the second side plate 1324, the third side plate 1325, and the fourth side plate 1326 is provided with a water guide groove 132a. Optionally, the drain outlet 132b is provided at both ends of the first side plate 1323 and the third side plate 1325 in the horizontal direction, so that rainwater flows down from the edges of the first side plate 1323 and the third side plate 1325. The edge positions of the first side plate 1323 and the third side plate 1325 (that is, the two ends near the second side plate 1324 and the fourth side plate 1326) are relatively moist, while most of the interior of the shell 130 can remain dry. Based on this, water-resistant components can be provided at the corresponding positions of the first side plate 1323 and the second side plate 1324. The first side plate 1323 and the second side plate 1324 can be in a wet state, and there is no need to provide a drain outlet 132b for the first side plate 1323 and the second side plate 1324.

[0025] like Figure 6As shown, rainwater discharged from drain outlet 132b flows down along the side shell 132 to the bottom shell 1331, or rainwater falls directly into the bottom shell 1331 after exiting drain outlet 132b. Drainage holes 133a are provided on the bottom shell 1331, allowing rainwater flowing into the bottom shell 1331 to drain through the drainage holes 133a, preventing rainwater from accumulating on the bottom shell 1331. Optionally, there can be multiple drainage holes 133a distributed in different parts of the bottom shell 1331, making it difficult for water to accumulate anywhere on the bottom shell 1331. Furthermore, while meeting drainage requirements, a single drainage hole 133a can be relatively small, having little impact on the structural strength of the shell 130.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a baffle plate 1322 is provided on the side shell 132, corresponding to the drain outlet 132b. The baffle plate 1322 is used to limit the flow path of rainwater from the drain outlet 132b to the bottom shell 1331. The baffle plate 1322 can prevent rainwater discharged from the drain outlet 132b from flowing into the other side of the baffle plate 1322, thereby limiting the flow path of the rainwater and preventing rainwater from flowing to the middle position of the side shell 132. On the other hand, it can also prevent rainwater from other positions of the shell 130 from flowing into the other side of the baffle plate 1322. Furthermore, even if the power generation device 100 is in an inclined state, the baffle plate 1322 can still prevent rainwater from flowing into the other side of the baffle plate 1322.

[0027] Optionally, the drain outlet 132b is located at one end of the first side plate 1323 near the second side plate 1324, and the water baffle 1322 is located at the end of the drain outlet 132b away from the second side plate 1324, thereby preventing rainwater from flowing into the middle part of the first side plate 1323. Optionally, the drain outlet 132b is located at one end of the third side plate 1325 near the fourth side plate 1326, and the water baffle 1322 is located at the end of the drain outlet 132b away from the fourth side plate 1326, thereby preventing rainwater from flowing into the middle part of the third side plate 1325.

[0028] Optionally, the baffle 1322 extends from the drain outlet 132b to the bottom of the side shell 132, thereby continuously blocking rainwater. It is understood that the baffle 1322 is not used to limit the flow path of rainwater from the drain outlet 132b to the bottom shell 1331. Those skilled in the art can set it according to actual needs, which will not be elaborated here.

[0029] like Figures 7-9As shown, in some embodiments, an exhaust port 130b is provided on the side shell 132. The exhaust port 130b can allow the engine 122 to discharge exhaust gas, and can also allow the power generation device 100 to blow hot air for heat dissipation. Exemplarily, the power generation device 100 includes a cooling fan, which can dissipate heat from the interior of the power generation device 100, thereby making the operation of the power generation device more stable. The hot air blown by the cooling fan is discharged from the exhaust port 130b. Optionally, the exhaust port 130b is located on the second side plate 1324.

[0030] Optionally, the exhaust gas and hot air from engine 122 can be discharged through different air ducts to reduce mutual interference. For example, the exhaust gas from engine 122 can be connected to the exhaust port 130b through a separate exhaust pipe. Since the exhaust gas from engine 122 is at a high temperature and contains pollutants, this arrangement ensures that the exhaust gas is completely discharged outside the housing 130, preventing its accumulation inside the housing 130 and extending the service life of the power generation equipment 100. Optionally, the exhaust pipe can be positioned in the middle of the exhaust port 130b, allowing the hot air blown by the cooling fan to dissipate heat from the exhaust pipe, thereby reducing heat radiation from the exhaust pipe.

[0031] Optionally, the power generation equipment 100 also includes an air guide 150 disposed within the housing 130. The air guide 150 includes a plurality of laterally extending grilles 151 for forming a ventilation duct, which communicates with the exhaust port 130b. The grilles 151 are arranged vertically at intervals, and at least some of the grilles 151 are inclined downwards at the end near the exhaust port 130b. When rainwater drips onto the inclined grilles 151, it will slide down under the influence of gravity and will not accumulate on the grilles 151. That is, the air guide 150 can improve waterproof performance and prevent rainwater from entering the housing 130 from the exhaust port 130b. Moreover, the inclined grilles 151 are less likely to accumulate fallen leaves, mud, and other debris, which can reduce the risk of blockage. When water flows along the inclined grilles 151, it can carry away some of the attached dirt, reducing the maintenance frequency. Finally, the inclined grilles 151 can change the direction of exhaust, making the exhaust more likely to blow towards the ground, thus reducing the impact on users and making the exhaust noise perceived by users less.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the power generation equipment 100 further includes an interface assembly 140. The side housing 132 has an output terminal opening corresponding to the interface assembly 140 to avoid the interface assembly 140, allowing the interface assembly 140 to be exposed outside the housing 130, thus facilitating user access to the interface assembly 140. Optionally, the fourth side housing 132 is provided with an output terminal opening to avoid the interface assembly 140, thereby separating the interface assembly 140 from the exhaust port 130b, preventing the exhaust from the exhaust port 130b from affecting the interface assembly 140.

[0033] Optionally, the interface assembly 140 includes an output terminal 141 and a waterproof cover 142 detachably disposed on the output terminal 141. The waterproof cover 142 can cover the output terminal 141 to prevent rainwater from flowing into the output terminal 141, thus achieving a waterproof effect. The connection method between the output terminal 141 and the waterproof cover 142 can be, for example, a snap-fit ​​connection, a screw connection, a Velcro connection, or a magnetic connection. The output terminal 141 is used to connect to external electrical equipment to supply power to the external equipment. The output terminal 141 can be, for example, a two-prong socket or a three-prong socket.

[0034] like Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom of the side shell 132 is provided with a cable passage hole 132c, which is located below the output terminal opening. The interface assembly 140 is used for electrical connection with the plug, and the plug cable can pass through the output terminal opening and be supplied through the cable passage hole 132c. Since the plug cable exits from the bottom, the side shell 132 can partially cover the cable, making it neater and more aesthetically pleasing. Furthermore, rainwater cannot flow upwards from the cable passage hole 132c at the bottom, thus providing a waterproof effect.

[0035] like Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the power generation assembly 120 also includes a fuel tank 121 with a gasoline drain port. The fuel tank 121 is positioned above the generator 125, and its gasoline drain port is higher than the fuel inlet of the engine 122. Fuel in the fuel tank 121 can flow into the fuel inlet of the engine 122 by gravity, thus eliminating the need for a fuel pump and its associated circuitry and control devices. Gravity can provide fuel pressure in real time, avoiding the time required for the fuel pump to build up pressure or potential vapor lock problems, resulting in more reliable starting after low temperatures or long periods of inactivity.

[0036] Fuel pumps are a common source of failure (such as motor burnout, pump blockage, and mechanical wear). Eliminating the fuel pump improves system reliability, simplifies the fuel supply system, and makes fault diagnosis and repair relatively easier. There is no need for regular inspection, testing, replacement, or repair of the fuel pump.

[0037] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the fuel tank 121 includes a tank body 1211 and a tank cover 1212. The tank cover 1212 protrudes from the top shell 1311, thereby facilitating the user to open the tank cover 1212 to add fuel.

[0038] like Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the power generation assembly 120 further includes a starter motor and a starter battery 124. The starter battery 124 is electrically connected to the starter motor and supplies power to the starter motor. The starter motor can bring the engine 122 from a stationary state to a running state to drive the engine 122 to start.

[0039] Users can start engine 122 simply by pressing a button, without any physical effort. Compared to manual starting, the starter motor improves the ease and success rate of starting, especially in cold weather or when engine 122 is not in good condition. The starter motor provides a smooth initial rotation, avoiding the impact and wear that may be caused to the internal parts of engine 122 by rough starting, and can accelerate engine 122 to a speed sufficient for ignition in a short time, reducing the time of dry friction during starting and thus reducing wear on engine 122.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the interface component 140 further includes a charging terminal 143, which is electrically connected to the startup battery 124. The charging terminal 143 is used to charge the startup battery 124 and serves as an external charging port for the startup battery 124.

[0041] The starter battery 124 will slowly self-discharge. After being left unattended for a long time, the starter battery 124 will gradually lose its charge, causing the engine 122 to fail to start electrically. Furthermore, deep discharge will severely damage the plates inside the battery, significantly shortening its lifespan.

[0042] The charging terminal 143 can charge the starter battery 124, facilitating user maintenance of the starter battery 124 and eliminating the hassle of periodically removing the starter battery 124 for external charging. The starter battery 124 can be kept fully charged, preventing the generator 125 from failing to start due to a depleted starter battery. A fully charged battery provides a strong starting current, ensuring the output torque of the starter motor, and can support multiple starting attempts.

[0043] Optionally, when the power generation equipment 100 is running, the generator 125 can charge the starting battery 124 to keep it fully charged as much as possible.

[0044] like Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the power generation assembly 120 also includes an air filter 123, which is connected to the air intake 130a of the engine. The air filter 123 can filter dust and impurities in the air, making the air entering the engine 122 cleaner, thereby reducing the wear of the engine 122.

[0045] like Figure 11As shown, in some embodiments, the side shell 132 includes a side plate, which can be one of a first side plate 1323, a second side plate 1324, a third side plate 1325, and a fourth side plate 1326. The engine 122 has an oil drain port and a spark plug 1221. At least two of the fuel drain port, oil drain port, spark plug 1221, air filter 123, and starter battery 124 are corresponding to the side plate, allowing the user to maintain multiple components of the fuel drain port, oil drain port, spark plug 1221, air filter 123, and starter battery 124 simply by removing the side plate. Optionally, the fuel drain port, oil drain port, spark plug 1221, air filter 123, and starter battery 124 are all corresponding to the side plate. When the side plate is opened, the user can maintain any one of the fuel drain port, oil drain port, spark plug 1221, air filter 123, and starter battery 124.

[0046] like Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the power generation assembly 120 further includes an oil pipe and a shut-off element 127 disposed on the oil pipe. The engine 122 has an oil drain port, and the oil pipe is connected to the oil drain port. The shut-off element 127 can be, exemplarily, a valve or a plug. When changing the oil, the user only needs to lower the oil pipe and open the shut-off element 127 to drain the oil, which is convenient and avoids contaminating the oil.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the generator 100 further includes a pull cable and a pull cable cover 1327. The pull cable is used to drive the generator to rotate, thereby starting the generator. A pull cable hole is provided on the side housing 132, through which the pull cable passes. The pull cable cover 1327 is detachably mounted on the side housing 132 to cover or expose the pull cable. The pull cable cover 1327 can improve the waterproof performance of the generator 100. The connection method between the pull cable cover 1327 and the side housing 132 can, exemplarily, be a snap-fit ​​connection, a screw connection, a Velcro fastener, or a magnetic connection.

[0048] In some embodiments, the power generation equipment 100 includes a water immersion sensor for detecting whether the power generation equipment 100 is flooded, thereby protecting the power generation equipment 100 and the user. The water immersion sensor is typically installed at the bottom of the housing 130 and can promptly issue an alarm or automatically shut down the unit before the water level reaches a dangerous height, cutting off power to prevent electrical damage and reduce the risk of electric shock to the user. Optionally, the water immersion sensor is located on the bottom shell, enabling early detection of whether the power generation equipment is submerged. In some embodiments, the power generation equipment 100 includes an access control sensor for detecting whether the housing 130 is opened, thereby protecting the power generation equipment 100 and the user. The access control sensor can be disposed on a detachable panel, for example, on the third side housing 132. When the panel is opened while the power generation equipment 100 is running, it can trigger an automatic shutdown to prevent personnel from accidentally contacting rotating parts, high-temperature surfaces, or live terminals, thus avoiding personal injury. The detachable panel can be at least one of the first side housing 132, the second side housing 132, the third side housing 132, and the detachable method can be screw connection, snap-fit ​​connection, Velcro connection, etc.

[0049] In some embodiments, the inverter 129 is located at the air inlet 130a. The air at the air inlet is the lowest temperature air outside the unit that has not been heated. Placing the inverter 129 in this position ensures that it comes into contact with the low temperature airflow first, which can more efficiently remove the heat generated by the inverter 129, achieve the best cooling effect, and extend the life of the inverter 129. There is no need to design a separate branch air duct for the inverter 129, which simplifies the structure.

[0050] In some embodiments, the bottom shell 1331 is provided with a lock hole 133b, which can cooperate with a lock to lock the power generation device 100 and restrict the movement range of the power generation device 100. The lock hole 133b is located at the bottom of the power generation device 100, which provides good concealment and is aesthetically pleasing.

[0051] Furthermore, the bottom position is not easily noticed by potential thieves, increasing the difficulty of finding the lock. Thieves need to crouch, lie down, or even move machinery to reach the keyhole 133b, greatly increasing the difficulty of illegal operations and the risk of being discovered. Due to the tricky location of the keyhole 133b, conventional lock-picking tools such as crowbars and screwdrivers are difficult to effectively insert into the keyhole 133b or apply sufficient destructive force. Thieves need to adopt awkward postures (such as lying on the ground) to attempt to unlock or break the lock. Finding the location of the keyhole 133b and attempting to break or unlock it takes thieves more time, greatly increasing the risk of them lingering at the scene and making them easier to be detected by surveillance cameras, patrol personnel, or passersby.

[0052] In some embodiments, the engine 122 and generator 125 are mounted on the base shell 1331. The engine 122 and generator 125 are relatively heavy, which lowers the center of gravity of the power generation equipment 100, making the power generation equipment 100 more stable during operation and less prone to tipping over. Optionally, a shock absorber is provided at the bottom of the base shell 1331 to reduce vibrations transmitted to the ground.

[0053] like Figure 12As shown, in some embodiments, the power generation device 100 includes a display panel 161, which is disposed on the top housing 1311. Optionally, the display panel 161 is an LCD screen, thereby providing relatively high display accuracy and rich display content.

[0054] Understandably, the generator 100 is typically placed on the ground, and users usually view it from a top-down angle. Therefore, the display panel 161 is positioned on the top casing 1311, allowing users to easily observe the information displayed on the panel. Users can clearly read data (such as voltage, frequency, current, operating hours, oil pressure, water temperature, fault codes, etc.) without bending over or squatting. Regardless of which side of the equipment the user stands on (front, side, or back), the display panel 161 is relatively easy to see. When the user walks to the equipment, they can immediately see the status of the top display screen without having to go around to a specific angle or adjust their posture, thus quickly determining whether the generator 125 is operating normally or has an alarm.

[0055] When the power generation equipment 100 is running, its sides and bottom areas are closer to high-temperature components (such as engine 122). Placing the display screen on top can keep the display panel 161 away from high-temperature components and extend the service life of the display panel 161.

[0056] Furthermore, the top-mounted display panel 161 effectively prevents direct contamination or corrosion from dust, dirt, and potential water splashes. This helps protect the display panel 161 and buttons 162, extending their lifespan and clarity.

[0057] Placing the display panel 161 on top keeps the sides clean and facilitates the layout of other functional components and the opening and closing of access doors.

[0058] In some embodiments, the power generation device 100 further includes a seal 152 disposed between the display panel 161 and the top shell 1311. Optionally, the top shell 1311 has a second opening corresponding to the display panel 161, allowing the display panel 161 to be visible through the top shell 1311. The seal 152 can fill the tiny gap between the edge of the display panel 161 and the edge of the second opening, thereby preventing dust, rainwater, and other small foreign objects from entering the interior of the power generation device 100, improving waterproof and dustproof performance. The seal 152 can be exemplarily a foam or silicone pad. The seal 152 is typically elastic and can absorb shocks and vibrations, thereby reducing the vibration transmitted to the display panel 161 and reducing the risk of the display panel 161 breaking or internal damage. The seal 152 also prevents the edge of the display panel 161 from directly contacting the top shell 1311, reducing local stress at the edge of the display panel 161.

[0059] In some embodiments, a light-transmitting opening 131a is provided on the top shell 1311, and a display panel 161 is provided corresponding to the light-transmitting opening 131a. The power generation device 100 also includes a light-transmitting cover plate 163, which is disposed on the top shell 1311 and seals the light-transmitting opening 131a. The display content on the display panel 161 can be transmitted through the light-transmitting cover plate 163. The light-transmitting cover plate 163 and the top shell 1311 can be connected by welding, bonding, integral molding, or other methods. Optionally, the light-transmitting cover plate 163 can close the light-transmitting opening 131a, thereby preventing dust, rainwater, and other small foreign objects from entering the interior of the power generation device 100, improving the waterproof and dustproof effect. The surface of the display panel 161 itself is usually relatively soft and easily scratched. The light-transmitting cover plate 163 can resist scratches caused by sand, daily friction, etc., protect the display panel 161 below, absorb and disperse impact energy when impacted, prevent the impact force from acting directly on the display panel 161, and reduce the risk of the display panel 161 breaking.
