Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transportation technology, specifically a retractable solar panel for a tricycle. Background Technology

[0002] Most electric tricycles have open-air seats and cargo compartments, which makes riding uncomfortable for the driver in rainy or other harsh conditions, and the cargo may get wet. Some electric tricycles have canopies, but these canopies limit the size of the cargo compartment and affect the user's ability to load and unload goods. In addition, electric tricycles are limited by battery power, resulting in insufficient range, which also affects the user's experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a retractable solar panel for tricycles. When unfolded, it increases the solar energy receiving area, thereby charging the electric tricycle and also providing some rain protection for the goods in the vehicle. When folded, multiple second solar panels are stacked vertically, which can reduce the space occupied by multiple second solar panels.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a retractable solar panel for a tricycle. The tricycle includes a seat and a carriage, with a pillar between the seat and the carriage. The retractable solar panel for the tricycle includes a solar panel and a telescopic mechanism. The solar panel is electrically connected to the battery of the tricycle. The solar panel includes a first solar panel and multiple second solar panels. The first solar panel is installed in front of the pillar and above the seat. The telescopic mechanism is installed behind the pillar and above the carriage. The telescopic mechanism includes a fixed rod and multiple telescopic rods. The multiple telescopic rods are retractable relative to the fixed rod. Each fixed rod and each telescopic rod is equipped with a second solar panel. The telescopic rods have an extended state and a retracted state. In the retracted state, the multiple second solar panels are stacked vertically. In the extended state, the multiple second solar panels are laid flat on top of the carriage in a front-back direction.

[0005] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the telescopic mechanism further includes a multi-stage telescopic cylinder, the multi-stage telescopic cylinder including a cylinder barrel and multi-stage cylinder rods. In the deployed state, the telescopic rod that is away from the fixed rod among the plurality of telescopic rods is the first telescopic rod, and the cylinder rod that is away from the cylinder barrel among the multi-stage cylinder rods is the first cylinder rod. The cylinder barrel is located inside the fixed rod, and the first cylinder rod is connected to the first telescopic rod.

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: two telescopic mechanisms are provided, and the two telescopic mechanisms are respectively located on the left and right sides of the column.

[0007] As a further aspect of this invention: when the telescopic rod is in the extended state, there is a stacking area between two adjacent second solar panels.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: each of the telescopic rods is equipped with a vertical plate on its side, and the second solar panel is installed on the vertical plate.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a third solar panel is connected to both the left and right sides of the first solar panel, the third solar panel extending in the vertical direction and spaced apart from the vehicle seat in the vertical direction.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. Through multi-stage telescopic cylinder pneumatics, the telescopic rod is pushed out, which drives the second movable solar panel to the unfolded state, increasing the solar energy receiving area, thereby quickly charging the electric tricycle, and also providing some rain protection for the goods in the carriage; when the second movable solar panel is in the stored state, multiple second solar panels are stacked in the vertical direction, which can reduce the space occupied by multiple second solar panels.

[0014] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, the retractable solar panel for the tricycle includes a solar panel and a retractable mechanism 9. The solar panel is electrically connected to the battery of the tricycle 1. When sunlight shines on the solar panel, photons excite electrons in the semiconductor material, generating an electric current. This current is then supplied to the battery of the tricycle 1 to power it. In sunny locations, it can even charge while moving, increasing the tricycle 1's range of motion.

[0016] The tricycle 1 includes a seat 2 and a cargo box 3. A column 7 is provided between the seat 2 and the cargo box 3, extending vertically. The solar panel includes a first solar panel 4 and multiple second solar panels 5. The first solar panel 4 is installed in front of the column 7 and above the seat 2. The first solar panel 4 can provide shade from sunlight or rain. For example, the first solar panel 4 is mounted on the column 7 via a mounting bracket 8, which supports the first solar panel 4.

[0017] The telescopic mechanism 9 is installed behind the column 7 and above the carriage 3. The telescopic mechanism 9 includes a fixed rod 10 and multiple telescopic rods 11, which can extend and retract relative to the fixed rod 10. Each fixed rod 10 and each telescopic rod 11 is equipped with a second solar panel 5. The telescopic rods 11 have an extended state and a retracted state. In the retracted state, the telescopic rods 11 are retracted inside the fixed rod 10, and the multiple second solar panels 5 are stacked vertically, reducing the space occupied by the multiple second solar panels 5. When the multiple second solar panels 5 are stacked vertically, they can be spaced apart vertically. In the extended state, the telescopic rods 11 extend sequentially, and the multiple second solar panels 5 are laid flat above the carriage 3 in a front-to-back direction. The multiple second solar panels 5 laid flat above the carriage 3 not only increase the area exposed to sunlight but also provide rain protection for the goods inside the carriage 3.

[0018] When the telescopic rod 11 is in the extended state, there is an overlapping area between two adjacent second solar panels 5, which makes it possible for the two adjacent second solar panels 5 to have no gap in the front-to-back direction, preventing raindrops from falling into the carriage 3 through the gap, and improving the rain-blocking effect of the second solar panels 5.

[0019] The telescopic mechanism 9 also includes a multi-stage telescopic cylinder, which includes a cylinder barrel and multi-stage cylinder rods. The telescopic cylinder is driven by air pressure to unfold the multi-stage cylinder rods in sequence, which can avoid the need for manual pulling of the telescopic rod 11 to unfold. If it rains suddenly while the tricycle 1 is in motion, the switch button of the telescopic cylinder can be pressed to extend the telescopic cylinder, avoiding the need for the user to manually pull the telescopic rod 11 when the vehicle stops, thus providing convenience for the user.

[0020] In the multi-stage cylinder rod, the cylinder rod that is away from the cylinder barrel is the first cylinder rod. In the unfolded state, the telescopic rod 11 that is away from the fixed rod 10 is the first telescopic rod 111. The cylinder barrel is located inside the fixed rod 10. The first cylinder rod is connected to the first telescopic rod 111. When the multi-stage cylinder rod unfolds in sequence, it synchronously drives the telescopic rod 11 to extend, thereby driving the second solar panel 5 to unfold in sequence.

[0021] There are two telescopic mechanisms 9, which are located on the left and right sides of the column 7, respectively, and can provide support strength for the installation of the second solar panel 5.

[0022] Each telescopic pole 11 has a vertical plate 12 installed on its side, and a second solar panel 5 is installed on the vertical plate 12. The vertical plate 12 can provide support for the installation of the second solar panel 5, which facilitates the installation of the second solar panel 5.

[0023] The first solar panel 4 is connected to the third solar panel 6 on both the left and right sides. The third solar panel 6 extends in the vertical direction, and the first solar panel 4 and the seat 2 are spaced apart in the vertical direction, which can shield the driver's side.

[0024] The working process of this utility model is as follows: The mounting bracket 8 is installed in front of the column 7, and the first solar panel 4 and two third solar panels 6 are installed on the mounting bracket 8. Then, the telescopic mechanism 9 is installed behind the column 7, and the upright plate 12 is installed on one side of each telescopic rod 11. Finally, the second solar panel 5 is installed on the upright plate 12. When the second solar panel 5 needs to be deployed, the on / off switch of the multi-stage drive cylinder is pressed, and the multi-stage drive cylinder drives multiple telescopic rods 11 to deploy sequentially, thereby causing multiple second solar panels 5 to deploy sequentially. When the second solar panel 5 needs to be retracted, the on / off switch of the multi-stage drive cylinder is pressed, and the multi-stage drive cylinder drives multiple telescopic rods 11 to retract sequentially, thereby causing multiple second solar panels 5 to be retracted sequentially.

[0025] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not constitute any limitation on this utility model. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions and contents disclosed in this utility model without departing from the scope of the technical solutions of this utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
