Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the fields of solar energy and water pump technology, and in particular to a water pump and irrigation device with a flip-top solar panel. Background Technology
[0002] With the escalating global energy crisis and heightened environmental awareness, solar energy, as a clean and renewable energy source, is finding increasingly wider applications, particularly in irrigation, leading to the development of solar-powered water pumps. A solar-powered water pump is a system that uses solar energy as its power source. It converts solar radiation into electricity through solar cell modules, and then uses a photovoltaic inverter or controller to convert direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC) to drive the pump, thus pumping water from a source. Due to its energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and easy-to-install and maintain advantages, solar-powered water pumps have become an important alternative to traditional electric water pumps.
[0003] However, most solar water pump systems currently on the market use fixed-angle solar panels. This design cannot adapt to the varying sunlight angle requirements of different regions, floors, seasons, and times of day. Since the sun's position in the sky changes with time and location, fixed-angle solar panels affect sunlight capture, resulting in low solar energy utilization. This directly leads to less solar energy being converted into electricity, causing the solar water pump to fail to operate at its optimal state at certain times, even affecting normal operation, impacting the pump's head and flow rate, and limiting its widespread application in various environments.
[0004] In existing technologies, solar water pumps suffer from low solar energy utilization due to the fixed angle of the solar panels, which affects the normal operation of the pumps. Utility Model Content
[0005] Therefore, there is a need to provide a water pump and irrigation device with a flip-top solar panel to solve the problem that the solar water pump has low solar energy utilization rate due to the fixed angle of the solar panel, which affects the normal operation of the solar water pump.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a water pump and irrigation device with a flip-top solar panel, comprising a flip-top, a solar panel, a battery module, an upper shell, a lower shell, a circuit board, and a water pump; one side of the flip-top is provided with a housing structure for accommodating the solar panel, the flip-top is provided with the battery module, and the flip-top and the upper shell are connected by horizontal rotation and vertical rotation; the upper shell and the lower shell are connected and form a first accommodating cavity for accommodating the water pump and the circuit board; the solar panel is electrically connected to the battery module; the circuit board is electrically connected to the solar panel, the battery module, and the water pump, and is used to control the transmission of electrical energy from the solar panel to the battery module and to control the operation of the water pump;
[0007] The lower shell has a first through hole for connecting the water inlet pipe to the water pump inlet and the water outlet pipe to the water pump outlet.

[0009] Furthermore, rotating shaft gears are provided on the outer periphery of both ends of the first rotating shaft; gear stops are distributed inside the first groove and the second groove for engaging with the rotating shaft gears; deformation grooves are provided at both ends of the first rotating shaft for compression deformation during rotation.
[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a first cover plate and a second cover plate, which are used to cover the openings of the first groove and the second groove respectively and form a fast connection when the two ends of the first rotating shaft are respectively installed into the interior of the first groove and the second groove, so that the two ends of the first rotating shaft form a rotatable connection with the first groove and the second groove respectively.
[0011] Furthermore, the first rotating shaft is provided with a rotating shaft buckle, and the upper shell is provided with a mounting hole for the insertion of the rotating shaft buckle and to form a locking, so that the first rotating shaft forms a horizontal rotational connection around the mounting hole.
[0012] Furthermore, the flip cover has a battery compartment inside for housing a battery module.
[0013] Furthermore, the surface of the battery module is covered with a shock-absorbing structure.

[0016] Furthermore, an irrigation device utilizes a water pump with a flip-top solar panel as described in any of the above.
[0017] The technical effects achieved by the above technical solution, which differ from existing technologies, are as follows:
[0018] The flip cover has a housing structure for accommodating the solar panel on one side, and the flip cover is connected to the upper shell in both horizontal and vertical rotation. Therefore, by rotating the flip cover horizontally and / or vertically around the upper shell, the angle of the solar panel can be adjusted, which is beneficial for the solar panel to absorb light, improves the utilization rate of solar energy, and thus helps the solar water pump to operate normally.

[0071] Please see Figures 1 to 28This utility model embodiment provides a flip-top 1, a solar panel 2, a water pump 7, and an irrigation device, including a flip-top 1, a solar panel 2, a battery module 3, an upper shell 4, a lower shell 5, a circuit board 6, and a water pump 7. One side of the flip-top 1 is provided with a housing structure for accommodating the solar panel 2. The flip-top 1 is provided with the battery module 3. The flip-top 1 and the upper shell 4 are connected horizontally and vertically. The upper shell 4 and the lower shell 5 are connected and form a first accommodating cavity for accommodating the water pump 7 and the circuit board 6. The solar panel 2 is electrically connected to the battery module 3. The circuit board 6 is electrically connected to the solar panel 2, the battery module 3, and the water pump 7, and is used to control the transmission of electrical energy from the solar panel 2 to the battery module 3 and to control the operation of the water pump 7. The lower shell 5 has a first through hole 51 for connecting an inlet pipe to the water inlet 71 of the water pump 7 and an outlet pipe to the water outlet 72 of the water pump 7.
[0072] The basic principle is as follows: one side of the flip cover 1 is provided with a housing structure for accommodating the solar panel 2, and the flip cover 1 and the upper shell 4 are connected by horizontal rotation and vertical rotation. Therefore, by simply rotating the flip cover 1 horizontally and / or vertically around the upper shell 4, the angle of the solar panel 2 can be adjusted, which is beneficial for the solar panel 2 to absorb light, improve the utilization rate of solar energy, and thus help the solar water pump 7 to operate normally.
[0073] In some embodiments, a first groove 12 and a second groove 13 are fixedly provided on one side of the flip cover 1; it also includes a first rotating shaft 8, which is disposed on the upper shell 4, and the two ends of the first rotating shaft 8 are respectively used to be disposed inside the first groove 12 and the second groove 13 to form a rotatable connection, so that the flip cover 1 and the upper shell 4 form an up-down rotatable connection (up to 210 degrees).
[0074] In some embodiments, rotating shaft gears 81 are provided on the outer periphery of both ends of the first rotating shaft 8; gear stops 14 are distributed inside the first groove 12 and the second groove 13 for engaging with the rotating shaft gears 81; deformation grooves 82 are provided at both ends of the first rotating shaft 8 for compression deformation during rotation. That is, the two ends of the first rotating shaft 8 are located inside the first groove 12 and the second groove 13. When not rotating, the rotating shaft gears 81 and the gear stops 14 are engaged and locked; when the first rotating shaft 8 is rotated, the deformation grooves 82 undergo compression deformation, the rotating shaft gears 81 switch to different gear stops 14 for engagement and locking, and the deformation grooves 82 return to their original deformation state.
[0075] Preferably, the rotating shaft gear 81 has twelve convex teeth, and the gear stop 14 has twelve concave teeth, evenly distributed inside the first groove 12 / second groove 13; or the rotating shaft gear 81 has twelve concave teeth, and the gear stop 14 has twelve convex teeth, evenly distributed inside the first groove 12 / second groove 13. Each stop is 30 degrees, providing a tactile feedback during rotation.
[0076] In some embodiments, a first cover plate 15 and a second cover plate 16 are also included, which are used to cover the openings of the first groove 12 and the second groove 13 respectively and form a fast connection when the two ends of the first rotating shaft 8 are respectively installed inside the first groove 12 and the second groove 13, so that the two ends of the first rotating shaft 8 are rotatably connected to the first groove 12 and the second groove 13 respectively. This arrangement makes the first rotating shaft 8 more stable when installed inside the second groove 13, preventing it from falling off during rotation.
[0077] Preferably, the flip cover 1 has a plurality of fourth screw holes on the first groove 12 and the second groove 13 respectively, and the first cover plate 15 and the second cover plate 16 have a plurality of plate through holes 151 corresponding to the fourth screw holes; it also includes a plurality of fourth screws 18 corresponding to the fourth screw holes, for passing through the plate through holes 151 and forming a threaded connection with the fourth screw holes, so that the first cover plate 15 and the second cover plate 16 cover the first groove 12 and the second groove 13 respectively and form a fastened connection.
[0078] Preferably, it further includes two first damping O-rings 84, which are respectively fitted onto both ends of the first rotating shaft 8. By setting the first damping O-rings 84, when the first rotating shaft 8 rotates inside the first groove 12 and the second groove 13 of the flip cover 1, it achieves damping sensation when the flip cover 1 and the upper shell 4 rotate up and down, while reducing the installation tolerance between the first rotating shaft 8 and the flip cover 1, and ensuring stability during rotation.
[0079] Optionally, it also includes a pivot groove 87, disposed in the middle of the first pivot 8; a corresponding pivot cover plate 88 is also provided, for engaging with the pivot groove 87 to form a detachable connection. This arrangement reduces the weight of the middle part of the first pivot 8, thereby reducing the overall weight of the first pivot 8 and helping to mitigate damage caused during the horizontal rotational connection between the first pivot 8 and the upper shell 4, thus extending the lifespan of the first pivot 8.
[0080] In some embodiments, the first rotating shaft 8 is provided with a rotating shaft buckle 83, and the upper shell 4 has a mounting hole 46 for inserting the rotating shaft buckle 83 and forming a lock, so that the first rotating shaft 8 forms a horizontal rotational connection around the mounting hole 46. With this configuration, after the rotating shaft buckle 83 is inserted into the upper shell 4 and forms a lock, the first rotating shaft 8 will not fall out, and the first rotating shaft 8 will form a horizontal rotational connection around the mounting hole 46 (up to 360 degrees). Thus, the flip cover 1 forms a horizontal rotational connection around the upper shell 4, which can be easily pulled out with a little force during disassembly. Furthermore, since the horizontal rotational connection can reach 360 degrees, combined with the vertical rotational connection reaching 210 degrees, it allows for a certain degree of freedom in choosing which side of the flip cover 1 with the solar panel 2 faces, either up, down, left, or right.
[0081] (It should be noted that, as can be seen from the side view of the device, the upper surface of the structure formed by the upper shell 4 and the lower shell 5 has a certain tilt angle, and this tilt angle is different depending on the different loads on which the device is installed. Therefore, the horizontal rotation connection of the flip cover 1 around the upper shell 4 is expressed here as the flip cover 1 relative to the upper shell 4, that is, the upper shell 4 is below and the flip cover 1 is above.)
[0082] Preferably, it also includes a second damping ring 85, which is fitted onto the pivot buckle 83. This allows for a noticeable damping sensation when the first pivot 8 rotates horizontally around the upper shell 4, enabling it to hover at any angle. That is, when the flip cover 1 rotates horizontally around the upper shell 4, it can hover at any angle, while reducing the installation tolerance between the first pivot 8 and the upper shell 4, ensuring stability during rotation.
[0083] Optionally, a nameplate cover 86 is also included, equipped with a pivot clip 83, which allows the nameplate cover 86 to be installed when the mounting hole 46 of the upper shell 4 is not used to install the solar flip cover 1, and can also display different logos. This facilitates the explanation of the disassembled flip cover 1 when displaying the device, and also facilitates the explanation of the basic information of the device through the nameplate.
[0084] Optionally, the nameplate cover plate 86 is provided with ribs around its perimeter. After being inserted into the upper shell 4, it forms an interference fit with the upper shell 4 to achieve a fastening. The user can pull it out and replace it with a flip cover 1.
[0085] In some embodiments, the flip cover 1 has a battery compartment 11 inside for housing the battery module 3.
[0086] In some embodiments, the surface of the battery module 3 is covered with a shock-absorbing structure. This arrangement serves to absorb vibrations from the battery module 3.
[0087] Preferably, the side of the battery module 3 facing and / or away from the bottom of the battery compartment 11 is provided with a shock-absorbing structure. Since the side of the battery module 3 facing and / or away from the bottom of the battery compartment 11 experiences greater vibration when it is installed inside the battery compartment 11, providing a shock-absorbing structure here is most effective in reducing the vibration of the battery module 3.
[0088] Preferably, the shock-absorbing structure is an adhesive-backed shock-absorbing structure. This allows the battery module 3 to be better secured within the battery compartment 11, resulting in greater stability.
[0089] Preferably, the adhesive-backed shock-absorbing structure is adhesive-backed silicone or adhesive-backed foam, etc.
[0090] In some embodiments, a sealant is also included, and a sealant groove 100 is formed around the inner periphery of the accommodating structure for applying sealant to seal the solar panel 2 to the flip cover 1. By applying sealant into the sealant groove 100 and pressing the solar panel 2 tightly against the sealant groove 100, the solar panel 2 and the flip cover 1 can be sealed together effectively.
[0091] Preferably, inside the accommodating structure, a first overflow groove 101 is provided around the outer edge of the glue application groove 100. By applying excess sealant into the glue application groove 100 and pressing the solar panel 2 tightly against the glue application groove 100, the sealant will overflow into the first overflow groove 101, so that the solar panel 2 has two layers of sealant, which can effectively seal the solar panel 2 to the flip cover 1.
[0092] Preferably, inside the accommodating structure, a second overflow groove 102 is provided around the inner edge of the sealant application groove 100. By applying excess sealant into the sealant application groove 100 and pressing the solar panel 2 tightly against the groove 100, the sealant overflows into the second overflow groove 102, resulting in two layers of sealant on the solar panel 2, which effectively seals the solar panel 2 to the flip cover 1. If a first overflow groove 101 is also provided, when the solar panel 2 is pressed tightly against the sealant application groove 100, the sealant overflows into both the first and second overflow grooves 101, resulting in three layers of sealant on the solar panel 2, which further enhances the seal between the solar panel 2 and the flip cover 1.
[0093] Preferably, the system further includes an output line 31, one end of which is electrically connected to the solar panel 2 or the battery module 3, and the other end of which is electrically connected to the circuit board 6. Optionally, the electrical connection between the output line 31 and the circuit board 6 can be a detachable electrical connection, a fixed electrical connection, etc.
[0094] Preferably, the lower shell 5 has a second through hole 52, the circuit board 6 has an input interface, and the other end of the output line 31 passes through the second through hole 52 into the first accommodating cavity and forms a detachable electrical connection with the input interface.
[0095] Preferably, the flip cover 1 has a first wire groove 110 on one side of the battery compartment 11 for arranging the output wires 31, making it neater and more aesthetically pleasing.
[0096] Preferably, the first wire groove 110 is an L-shaped wire groove. Due to the L-shaped structure, it has a designed corner, so when the output wire 31 is pulled by an external force, the force is transferred to the corner, preventing it from pulling on the solder joint between the output wire 31 and the circuit board 6 inside, thus protecting the internal structure.
[0097] Preferably, at least one groove rib 111 is provided inside the first groove 110 near the inlet and outlet, respectively, for interference fit with the output line 31. This secures the output line 31 and prevents it from falling off.
[0098] Preferably, two ribs 111 are distributed inside the first wire groove 110 near the inlet and two ribs 111 are distributed inside the first wire groove 110 near the outlet. This makes the output wire 31 more securely clamped and prevents the output wire 31 from falling off.
[0099] In some embodiments, a first bracket 9 is further included, disposed within the first accommodating cavity and securely connected to the lower shell 5. The first bracket 9 is used to securely mount the water pump 7 and the circuit board 6. The water pump 7 and the circuit board 6 are mounted within the first accommodating cavity via the first bracket 9, making the water pump 7 and the circuit board 6 more stable.
[0100] Preferably, the water pump 7 is securely mounted inside the first bracket 9.
[0101] Preferably, the first bracket 9 is provided with a second receiving cavity for securely mounting the water pump 7. This helps to make the water pump 7 more stable when mounted on the first bracket 9.
[0102] Preferably, a third through hole 91 and a fourth through hole 92 are provided on one side of the second accommodating cavity, through which the inlet 71 and outlet 72 of one end of the water pump 7 pass respectively; it also includes a first rib 93, which is disposed in the second accommodating cavity, and is used to form an interference fit with the first rib 93 when the other end of the water pump 7 is pressed into the second accommodating cavity, thereby clamping the water pump 7 in the first bracket 9. Here, the water pump 7 adopts an insertion type, that is, the inlet 71 and outlet 72 of one end of the water pump 7 are directly inserted into the third through hole 91 and the fourth through hole 92, and then the other end of the water pump 7 is pressed into the second accommodating cavity, forming an interference fit with the first rib 93, directly clamping and fixing the water pump 7. The whole process does not require screw fixing, realizing the function of quick installation.
[0103] Preferably, the other end of the water pump 7 is made of a rigid material, specifically a metal material. By selecting a rigid material, it helps the water pump 7 to better form an interference fit with the first rib 93, thereby securing the water pump 7 in place.
[0104] Preferably, the circuit board 6 is securely mounted on the first bracket 9.
[0105] Preferably, it further includes at least one first screw 94, the circuit board 6 has a first through hole 61 corresponding to the first screw 94, and the first bracket 9 has a first screw hole 95 corresponding to the first screw 94; the first screw 94 passes through the first through hole 61 and forms a threaded connection with the first screw hole 95, thereby fastening the circuit board 6 to the first bracket 9.
[0106] Preferably, there are four first screws 94 and four first through holes 61, which are located around the perimeter of the circuit board 6; there are four first screw holes 95, which are located on the first bracket 9 at positions corresponding to the first through holes 61. This helps to securely mount the circuit board 6 onto the first bracket 9.

[0123] Preferably, the device further includes an elastic plastic sheet 67, which is disposed on the upper shell 4 and covers the fifth through hole 44 and the sixth through hole 45. The sheet protrudes from the surface at the positions corresponding to the fifth and sixth through holes 44 and 45, respectively, forming a first protrusion point 671 and a second protrusion point 672. These protrusion points are used to trigger the on / off button 64 by pressing them. By providing the elastic plastic sheet 67, the button automatically rebounds after the protrusion points are pressed, thus triggering the on / off button 64. Furthermore, the hand will not directly contact the on / off button 64, protecting it. It also provides some degree of waterproofing.
[0124] Preferably, the elastic plastic sheet 67 is disposed on the upper shell 4 and covers and seals the fifth through hole 44 and the sixth through hole 45, which further helps to waterproof.
[0125] Preferably, the elastic plastic sheet 67 is a PC sheet. PC sheets have advantages such as very high impact resistance, light weight, high transparency, good electrical insulation, and good heat resistance.

This arrangement further facilitates the secure connection between the hook 10 and the lower shell 5.
[0129] Preferably, the second slot 101 is provided with a slot engagement point 1011, and the second protrusion 102 is provided with a hook engagement point 1021, so that when the second protrusion 102 is inserted into the second slot 101 and pulled alternately, they form a mutual engagement. The "alternating pulling" here is exemplified as follows: when the hook 10 is hung on a vertical support, such as a wall, i.e., when the bottom surface of the lower shell 5 of the device faces the wall, when the second protrusion 102 is inserted into the second slot 101, pulling the hook 10 upwards or pulling the device downwards causes the hook engagement point 1021 and the slot engagement point 1011 to engage, thereby connecting the hook 10 to the lower shell 5.
[0130] Preferably, the second slot 101 has a screw hole 1012 on the side facing the upper shell 4 and the lower shell 5 to form a rotatable connection. That is, when there are screws on the wall, the device can be hung on the wall through the screw hole 1012.
[0131] Preferably, the upper shell 4 or the lower shell 5 is provided with a power interface and is electrically connected to the circuit board 6 for connecting to the external power grid; this arrangement can better solve the problem that when the solar panel 2 is damaged or there is insufficient sunlight, the solar power cannot be used to generate electricity, resulting in insufficient power of the battery module 3 to start the operation of the water pump 7.
