Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of containerized solar panel technology, specifically to an auxiliary power device for a containerized foldable solar panel. Background Technology

[0002] Solar energy is a renewable energy source. It refers to the thermal radiation energy of the sun, mainly manifested as sunlight. In modern times, it is generally used for power generation or to provide energy for water heaters. When solar panels need to be moved, multiple solar panels need to be stacked and stored in a container, such as a shipping container, for transportation. After the transportation and relocation are completed, the stacked solar panels are unfolded to generate solar power.

[0003] According to the patent application disclosed on the Internet, "An automated containerized solar panel extension device is provided. Adjacent solar panels are provided with multiple power wheels at the bottom rod position. Auxiliary power devices are provided on both sides of the container. The auxiliary power devices can lift or lower the solar panels. The auxiliary power devices include telescopic rods that can extend and retract during the lifting or lowering process to adjust the movement trajectory of the solar panels. Adjacent solar panels are provided with limiting devices at the connection position of the top rod and bottom rod. The limiting devices limit the adjacent solar panels, so that the unfolded solar panels are fixed at a set tilt angle. Multiple fixing devices are provided on the top of the container. The fixing devices can fix and limit the top rod of the solar panels when folded. The automated solar panel extension device realizes the automated unfolding and storage of containerized solar panels through the power wheels, auxiliary power devices, limiting devices and fixing devices, replacing manual operation and improving the efficiency and safety of unfolding and storing solar panels."

[0004] Regarding the above description, the applicant believes the following issues exist: In existing technologies, the storage and unfolding of foldable solar panels are all manually operated, lacking fully automated operation equipment with integrated power. Related technologies include bottom rope dragging, but after folding, manual fixing and positioning are required, with side interlocking positioning to prevent swaying. Other technologies involve power transmission via chains or other structures, such as rope structures, train track structures, or gear rack structures, to achieve the storage and unfolding of solar panels, all of which require manual operation. Therefore, there is a need to improve the auxiliary power device for containerized foldable solar panels to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0010] Preferably, the movable telescopic mechanism includes a connecting sleeve, which is fixedly connected to the front of the mounting box. A slide cylinder is fixedly connected inside the mounting box, and a slider is provided inside the slide cylinder. A triangular longitudinal moving block is fixedly connected to the front of the slider. A slide rail is fixedly connected inside the mounting box, and a transverse telescopic bar is slidably connected inside the slide rail. This facilitates the adjustment of the position of the transverse telescopic bar, thereby supporting the edge of the solar panel during the unfolding and retraction of the solar panel, applying corresponding pushing / resisting forces to the solar panel, ensuring the stable unfolding and retraction of the folded solar panel, and preventing accidents such as the solar panel suddenly falling over.

[0011] Preferably, the transverse telescopic rod has a groove at the corresponding position of the triangular longitudinal moving block, and the transverse telescopic rod is in contact with the triangular longitudinal moving block, which facilitates a more stable movement process.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an auxiliary power device for containerized foldable solar panels, which has the following advantages: 1. The auxiliary power device for this containerized foldable solar panel, through the set adjustment and installation mechanism, allows for easy adjustment and limiting of the position of the installation block by the movement of the set movable block in conjunction with the spring during use, thereby meeting the requirements of adapting to different installation hole positions of the containerized foldable solar panel mounting bracket.

[0014] 2.

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.

[0018] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0019] Example 1: Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an auxiliary power device for a containerized foldable solar panel, including a mounting plate 1, a rotary gear motor 2 fixedly connected to the front of the mounting plate 1, a connecting plate 3 fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary gear motor 2, a support arm 5 fixedly connected to the front of the connecting plate 3, a reinforcing rib 4 fixedly connected to the outside of the support arm 5, a mounting box 6 fixedly connected to the left side of the support arm 5, an adjustable mounting mechanism 7 provided on the outside of the mounting plate 1, and a movable telescopic mechanism 8 provided inside the mounting box 6.

[0020] Furthermore, the adjustment and installation mechanism 7 includes a limiting frame 71, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting plate 1. An installation block 72 is slidably connected inside the limiting frame 71. A sliding rod 73 is fixedly connected to the end of the installation block 72 away from the limiting frame 71. A spring 74 is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding rod 73 near the installation block 72. A movable block 75 is fixedly connected to the end of the spring 74 near the installation block 72. A locking block 76 is fixedly connected to the end of the movable block 75 near the installation block 72, which facilitates the adjustment and limiting of the position of the installation block 72, thereby meeting the requirements for adapting to different installation hole positions of the container-type foldable solar panel mounting bracket.

[0021] Furthermore, the movable block 75 is slidably connected to the slide rod 73, and the limit frame 71 and the corresponding position of the locking block 76 are provided with grooves, and the locking block 76 is inserted into the groove, which makes the adjustment process more stable.

[0022] Furthermore, there are two limit brackets 71, and the two limit brackets 71 are symmetrically distributed with the center line of the front of the mounting plate 1 as the axis of symmetry, which makes the installation process more stable.

[0023] Example 2: Based on Example 1, please refer to Figure 5-6 Furthermore, in conjunction with Embodiment 1, the movable telescopic mechanism 8 includes a connecting sleeve 81, which is fixedly connected to the front of the mounting box 6. A slide cylinder 82 is fixedly connected inside the mounting box 6, and a slider 83 is provided inside the slide cylinder 82. A triangular longitudinal moving block 84 is fixedly connected to the front of the slider 83. A slide rail 85 is fixedly connected inside the mounting box 6, and a transverse telescopic rod 86 is slidably connected inside the slide rail 85. This facilitates the adjustment of the position of the transverse telescopic rod 86, thereby supporting the edge of the solar panel during the unfolding and retraction of the solar panel, applying corresponding pushing / resisting forces to the solar panel, ensuring the stable unfolding and retraction of the folded solar panel, and avoiding unexpected situations such as the solar panel suddenly falling over.

[0024] Furthermore, grooves are provided at the corresponding positions of the transverse telescopic rod 86 and the triangular longitudinal moving block 84, and the transverse telescopic rod 86 contacts the triangular longitudinal moving block 84, which facilitates a more stable movement process.

[0025] Furthermore, the mounting box 6 has a groove at the corresponding position of the horizontal telescopic rod 86, and the horizontal telescopic rod 86 is slidably connected to the mounting box 6. The connecting sleeve 81 has a groove at the corresponding position of the horizontal telescopic rod 86, and the horizontal telescopic rod 86 is slidably connected inside the groove, which facilitates a more stable use.

[0026] In actual operation, when this device is used, the operator first places it in the designated installation position of the container-type foldable solar panel mounting bracket. Adjusting the mounting according to the mounting hole positions of the container-type foldable solar panel mounting bracket, the operator pulls the movable block 75. The movement of the movable block 75, in conjunction with the spring 74, causes the locking block 76 to move. The movement of the sliding rod 73 causes the mounting block 72 to slide inside the limiting frame 71 until it reaches the designated installation position. Then, the movable block 75 is released. Under the action of the spring 74, the locking block 76 engages with the limiting frame 71, completing the limiting of the mounting block 72. After installation, when... When the containerized foldable solar panel needs to be folded, the rotary reduction motor 2 operates, causing the connecting plate 3 to rotate. This, in conjunction with the reinforcing rib 4 and the support arm 5, moves the mounting box 6. The sliding cylinder 82 operates, in conjunction with the slider 83, causing the triangular longitudinal moving block 84 to move up and down. This allows the transverse telescopic rod 86 to slide inside the slide rail 85, thereby adjusting the position of the transverse telescopic rod 86. This ensures that the solar panel frame is supported during the unfolding and retraction of the solar panel, applying appropriate pushing / resisting forces to ensure the stable unfolding and retraction of the foldable solar panel and preventing accidents such as the solar panel suddenly falling over.

[0027] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.
