Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of solar panel deployment and take-up mechanisms, specifically to a bloom-type nine-grid solar panel deployment and take-up mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] A solar panel retraction mechanism is a structure used to install solar panels. By mounting the solar panels onto the retraction mechanism, multiple solar panels can be scaled up and down and unfolded along with the mechanism. This allows the solar panels to be unfolded when in use, with multiple solar panels laid out individually to further increase the area that receives sunlight. When the solar panels are not in use, they can be retracted, allowing multiple solar panels to be stacked together for easier storage and transportation.

[0003] Most existing storage mechanisms use sliding rails, which connect the solar panels on both sides to the solar panel in the middle to achieve the purpose of retraction and expansion. However, this type of storage mechanism not only has a limited number of solar panels that can be stored, but the sliding rails are also very prone to jamming. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues—namely, existing storage mechanisms can only hold a limited number of units and are prone to jamming—this invention proposes a blooming nine-grid solar panel storage and unfolding mechanism. This mechanism includes a rectangular base frame, with side frames hinged to all four sides of the base frame, and outer edge frames hinged to the side frames. When unfolded, the base frame, the four side frames, and the four outer edge frames are arranged in a nine-grid pattern.

[0005] A further feature of this invention is that the base frame is square, and corner plates are vertically connected to the four vertices of the base frame. Each of the two sides of the corner plate has a row of hinge holes, with four hinge holes in each row, arranged equidistantly from top to bottom. A bend is vertically arranged on one side of the side frame that is hinged to the base frame, and the bend is hinged to the hinge hole. The length of the bends on the four side frames increases sequentially.

[0006] A further feature of this invention is that: two hinge plates and two clearance notches are provided on one side of the side frame that connects to the outer edge frame, for hinge connection with the outer edge frame and clearance from the outer edge frame.

[0007] A further feature of this invention is that the size of the outer frame is smaller than the size of the side frame to which it is connected, so that the outer frame can be folded into the interior of the outer frame.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0009] By combining the base frame, side frames, and outer frame, the nine solar panels can be unfolded or retracted, further increasing the light-receiving area. At the same time, since the folding components are connected by hinges, the problem of jamming can be greatly reduced compared to sliding rail connections. Attached Figure Description

[0021] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] This utility model proposes a retractable mechanism for an openable nine-square grid solar panel, including a rectangular base frame 1, which is fixedly connected by multiple angle irons. Each of the four sides of the base frame 1 is hinged with a side frame 2, which can be folded with the base frame 1. When displayed, the four side frames 2 are unfolded towards the outside of the base frame 1. When folded, the four side frames can be folded sequentially above the base frame 1, that is, the height of the four side frames 2 is different after folding, so that the four side frames 2 can be stacked sequentially without interfering with each other.

[0023] An outer edge frame 3 is hinged to the side frame 2. The outer edge frame 3 is located on one side of the frame. The outer edge frame 3 can be unfolded outwards from the side frame 2, and can also be folded into the frame, thus folding together with the side frame 2 above the bottom frame 1. (Reference) Figure 1 When unfolded, the base frame 1, the four side frames 2, and the four outer edge frames 3 are arranged in a nine-square grid, as shown in the reference. Figure 2 When the four edge frames are folded and the four side frames 2 are unfolded, the bottom frame 1 and the four side frames 2 are arranged in a cross shape, as shown in the reference. Figure 3 When the four side frames 2 are also folded up, the bottom frame 1, the side frames 2 and the outer frame 3 will be folded into a rectangle.

[0024] It should be noted that the base frame 1 is set as a square, and corner plates 11 are fixedly connected to the four vertices of the base frame 1. The corner plates 11 are set vertically, and a row of hinge holes is opened on each of the two side surfaces of the corner plates 11. Each row of hinge holes 111 includes four holes, and the four hinge holes are arranged equidistantly from top to bottom. The side frame 2 that is hinged to the base frame 1 has an integrally set bend 21. The bend 21 is set perpendicular to the side frame 2, and a through hole is opened on the bend 21 corresponding to the hinge hole 111. A bolt is used to pass through both the through hole and the hinge hole 111, so that the bend 21 and the corner plate 11 are hinged. It should also be noted that the length of the bend 21 on the four side frames 2 increases sequentially. This allows the bend 21 of different heights to be hinged to the hinge hole 111 of different heights. Thus, when folded, the four side frames 2 can be at different heights to avoid interference, and when unfolded, they can still be at the same height.

[0025] Two hinge plates 22 are provided on one side of the side frame 2 that connects to the outer edge frame 3 for hinge connection with the outer edge frame 3. At the same time, a clearance notch 23 is provided on the side frame 2 at the position corresponding to the two hinge plates 22 to avoid the outer edge frame 3 and prevent the outer edge frame 3 from bumping into the side frame 2 during folding or unfolding.

[0026] The outer frame 3 is smaller than the side frame 2 to which it is connected, so that the outer frame 3 can be folded into the interior of the outer frame 3, thereby avoiding any impact on the folding or unfolding of the side frame 2.

[0027] It should be noted that after the outer frame 3 is folded into the side frame 2, it can be fixed with a positioning pin. That is, corresponding pin holes are made on the outer frame 3 and the side frame 2, and then the positioning pin is inserted to fix it, so as to prevent the outer frame 3 from falling off the side frame 2 when the side frame 2 rotates.

[0028] In summary, this utility model, through the cooperation of the bottom frame 1, the side frame 2, and the outer frame 3, can achieve the purpose of unfolding or retracting nine solar panels, further increasing the light-receiving area. At the same time, since the folding parts are connected by hinges, the problem of jamming can be greatly reduced compared to the sliding rail connection.
