Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric vehicle technology, and more specifically, to a solar-powered electric vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] With increasing environmental awareness and adjustments to the energy structure, electric vehicles have become an important means of transportation due to their advantages such as zero emissions and low noise, especially in short-distance transportation and travel for the elderly and disabled.
[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered that most existing electric tricycles are currently charged using a plug-in charging method. However, electric vehicles have limited range and require frequent charging, which to some extent limits their convenience of use. Therefore, in view of this, the inventors have researched and improved the existing structure to provide a solar-powered electric vehicle, aiming to achieve a more practical purpose.

[0005] 2. Technical Solution To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.
[0006] A solar-powered electric vehicle includes a tricycle. A side panel is mounted on the top of the tricycle. A connecting column and a reinforcing column are fixedly connected to the top and sides of the side panel, respectively. A connecting rod is provided on one side of the reinforcing column. A windshield is mounted on the front of the tricycle. A top frame is mounted on one side of the windshield. A solar panel is connected to the top of the top frame via a fastening bolt. A lighting lamp and a mounting strip are respectively mounted on both sides of the solar panel. A toolbox is mounted on the side of the reinforcing column. A seat cushion is mounted on the top of the toolbox via a hinge. A storage layer is fixedly provided inside the tricycle, and a battery is housed inside the storage layer.
[0007] Furthermore, a mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the side of the side plate, and reinforcing strips distributed at equal intervals are fixedly provided below the mounting bracket, and a base pad is provided above the mounting bracket.
[0008] Furthermore, a sturdy base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the solar panel, and the sturdy base is bolted to the top frame.
[0009] Furthermore, the solar panel is connected to the battery via a voltage regulator.
[0010] Furthermore, both the seat cushion and the base cushion are made of rubber material, and the base cushion is rectangular in shape.
[0011] Furthermore, a control switch is installed at the driver's position of the tricycle. The input end of the control switch is electrically connected to the battery, and the output end is electrically connected to the headlight and the taillight in the mounting strip, respectively.
[0012] Furthermore, the connecting rods are provided in multiple sets, which are equidistantly distributed between the two sets of reinforcing columns.
[0013] 3. Beneficial Effects Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are: (1) This solution integrates the solar panel with the lighting and taillights on the roof rack, which not only makes reasonable use of the space, but also allows the vehicle's lighting system to be powered by both solar energy and batteries, improving the safety of night driving. The overall design is more humanized. The upper and lower layout of the toolbox and seat cushion, as well as the design of the storage layer, make full use of the vehicle's interior space, which is convenient for storing items and ensures the comfort of riding.
[0014] (2) This solution uses a three-dimensional frame structure consisting of side plates, connecting columns, reinforcing columns and connecting rods, and connects the solar panels to the roof frame with a sturdy seat and bolts. This makes the entire vehicle body and the installation of the solar panels very stable, effectively resisting vibrations and external forces during driving, improving driving safety. The voltage regulator ensures that the output voltage of the solar panels is regulated before charging the battery, avoiding overcharging caused by unstable voltage, effectively protecting the battery and extending its service life.
