[0025] First embodiment, such as Figures 1-6As shown, a foldable and replaceable back cover power-generating mobile phone case includes components such as a housing, a photovoltaic module 3, and a battery 4. The housing consists of a back cover 1 and a cover 2, which are detachably connected, for example, by magnetic attraction. The back cover 1 and cover 2 together form a receiving groove, within which the photovoltaic module 3 can be folded and placed. The cover 2 has a phone slot adapted to the shape of the mobile phone for secure placement.
[0026] The photovoltaic module 3 includes several foldable power-generating films 31, which can be made of high-efficiency power-generating materials such as perovskite and copper indium gallium selenide. One end of the photovoltaic module 3 is fixedly connected to the housing cover 2, and the other end is detachably mounted on the back cover 1. In use, the photovoltaic module 3 can be flexibly folded and placed in the receiving slot.
[0027] Similar to existing technologies, a battery 4 is built into the housing 2, and is stably electrically connected to the photovoltaic module 3 via wires to ensure the successful storage of electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic module 3. A charging / discharging connector 5 is provided on the housing 2, which can be designed as a Type-C interface or other suitable type according to actual needs. The charging / discharging connector 5 is connected to the battery 4 through the battery management system and control circuit 7. A control switch allows for convenient control of the battery 4's external power supply, improving ease of use and safety.
[0028] Similar to existing technologies, a battery management system and control circuit 7 are housed inside the casing 2. The charging / discharging connector 5, control switch, and battery 4 are all connected to the battery management system and control circuit 7. The battery management system and control circuit 7 ensures a stable and safe charging process, achieving efficient energy management.
[0029] This embodiment adds a display screen 6 to the original structure. The display screen 6 is a common LCD screen, securely mounted in a suitable position inside the back cover 1. A corresponding viewing window 21 is provided on the cover 2 for observing the display screen 6. The display screen 6 is reliably connected to the control circuit 7 via a ribbon cable or other connection method. The control circuit 7 acquires the battery power information of the battery 4 in real time and transmits it to the display screen 6 for display, allowing the user to intuitively understand the battery status of the phone case.
[0030] In this embodiment, a magnetic connection is used to achieve a convenient and stable connection between the back shell 1 and the cover 2. Specifically, magnetic elements, such as neodymium iron boron magnets, are embedded in corresponding positions on the back shell 1 and the cover 2. The attraction between the magnetic poles makes the two fit tightly together, which is convenient for users.
[0031] Meanwhile, the photovoltaic module 3 and the back cover 1 can be connected by magnetic attraction or plug-in connection, which is convenient for quick replacement of the back cover 1 according to actual needs, and can meet the diverse needs of different users for products with multiple colors and patterns.
[0032] When a plug-in connection is used, a slot specifically for placing one end of the photovoltaic module 3 is provided on the back cover 1. The size of this slot is adapted to the end of the photovoltaic module 3, allowing one end of the photovoltaic module 3 to be easily inserted and removed into the slot. There are two feasible equivalent implementation methods for the slot's track design. One is a continuous track, i.e., a continuous groove structure from the slot entrance to the interior. This design makes the insertion of the photovoltaic module 3 smoother and provides better overall stability. The other is a discontinuous track, composed of multiple spaced small groove segments, which can save materials to a certain extent while ensuring the basic positioning of the end of the photovoltaic module 3.
[0033] When a magnetic connection is used, magnetic elements, such as neodymium iron boron magnets, are embedded in the corresponding positions of the back shell 1 and the photovoltaic module 3. The attraction between the magnetic poles makes the two fit tightly together, preventing the photovoltaic module 3 from accidentally falling off during use.
[0034] The photovoltaic module 3 in this embodiment includes a cellulose acetate cloth 32, which serves as a substrate material and possesses good flexibility and durability. A plurality of power-generating films 31 are distributed at regular intervals on the cellulose acetate cloth 32; this arrangement ensures that the photovoltaic module 3 has sufficient bending space when folded.
[0035] Busbars are provided on the power generation film 31 to collect the current generated by the power generation film 31. The busbars of the power generation film 31 are connected by conductive fabric tape. The conductive fabric tape not only has conductive properties, but also, due to its own fabric characteristics, can better adapt to the folding requirements of the photovoltaic module 3.
[0036] To further protect the internal structure, cellulose acetate cloth 32 is applied to the conductive fabric tape, busbars, and seams of adjacent photovoltaic films 31. This cellulose acetate cloth 32 provides dustproof, waterproof, and physical protection, preventing external factors from damaging the internal conductive structure and extending the service life of the photovoltaic module 3.
[0037] The manufacturing process of photovoltaic module 3 is as follows: Step 1: During the encapsulation of the power generation film 31, the copper busbars on both sides of the power generation film 31 are symmetrically exposed. Common copper material can be used for the copper busbars to ensure good conductivity, and the width and length of the busbars can be designed appropriately according to the actual dimensions of the power generation film 31.
[0038] Step 2: Fold the busbars on both sides of the power generation film 31 toward the bottom surface of the power generation film, and use the conductive adhesive on the busbars to stick them to the encapsulation film on the bottom surface of the power generation film to form a terminal, in preparation for subsequent circuit connection.
[0039] Step 3: Arrange the power generation film 31 prepared in Step 2 according to the spacing requirements. The gap between two adjacent power generation films 31 should be greater than 1 mm. The specific spacing distance can be adjusted within the range of 1 mm to a custom distance according to actual needs. This gap can leave enough bending space for the folding of the photovoltaic module 3 to avoid damage during folding.
[0040] Step 4: Use a 20-40 micrometer thick conductive fabric tape (preferably 30 micrometers) to connect it to the terminal on the same side as the power generation film 31 in step 3, and make sure it crosses the seam between the two power generation films 31 to ensure that the current can be smoothly conducted.
[0041] Step 5: Finally, cover the bottom surface of the power generation film 31 with a 70-90 micrometer thick cellulose acetate cloth (preferably 80 micrometers), covering the busbars, the conductive adhesive on the fabric, and the seams, thereby forming a complete photovoltaic module 3 and protecting the internal structure.
[0042] The photovoltaic module 3 prepared by the specific method described above has significant advantages. Its overall thickness is extremely thin, with the power-generating film 31 employing an odd number of folds, such as three or five folds. This folding design significantly reduces the space required when folded, resulting in a thinner and lighter overall phone case that is easier to carry and use. Furthermore, within a limited thickness, more power-generating films 31 can be placed, effectively improving power generation efficiency. During assembly, both the photovoltaic module 3 portion connected to the cover 2 and the photovoltaic module 3 portion connected to the back cover 1 can be configured in two ways: either with a power-generating film at the connection point, or without one.
[0043] The power-generating phone case provided by this utility model features a cleverly folded design for the power-generating film 31. When not in use, the film can be tightly folded away, effectively reducing the overall thickness of the product and making the phone case thinner and lighter, making it easier for users to carry. When power generation is needed, it can be unfolded to provide a larger power-generating area, significantly improving power generation efficiency. The back cover 1 is designed to be replaceable, allowing users to change to different colors, patterns, or materials according to their personal preferences, greatly improving the diversity of the product's appearance and enhancing the user experience. In addition, the phone case is equipped with a display screen 6, which can intuitively display the product's charging and discharging status, allowing users to keep track of battery information at any time and use the phone with greater peace of mind.
