Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic panel technology, specifically to a retractable photovoltaic module system. Background Technology

[0002] Against the backdrop of global advocacy for sustainable development and the need to address energy crises and environmental pollution, the integration of photovoltaics and automobiles has become a focal point of industry attention. Traditional gasoline-powered vehicles rely on non-renewable petroleum resources, and their exhaust emissions cause severe environmental pollution. While the rise of electric vehicles has alleviated this problem to some extent, range anxiety remains a key factor hindering their widespread adoption.

[0003] The roof and body of a car have a certain area, and if utilized properly, installing photovoltaic panels to convert solar energy into electricity to power the vehicle undoubtedly has enormous potential. From an environmental perspective, this can effectively reduce the car's dependence on traditional fossil fuels and lower carbon emissions. From an energy utilization perspective, converting solar energy into electricity can supplement or even partially replace the car's battery power, alleviating range anxiety for electric vehicles and providing greater assurance for long-distance travel.

[0004] Currently, there are still some problems with installing photovoltaic panels on automobiles. On the one hand, passenger car roofs are generally small, limiting the area available for photovoltaic panels and resulting in low power generation, making it difficult to significantly improve the driving range of electric vehicles. On the other hand, some solutions attempt to increase the area of ​​photovoltaic panels through unfolding or telescopic mechanisms, but these solutions require bulky sliding rails, wiring harnesses, and other auxiliary mechanisms. Moreover, when using sliding rails, the rail and the extended portion must be of equal length; for example, if the extended portion is 1 meter, the rail also needs to be 1 meter. This not only hinders cost control but also significantly increases vehicle weight, affecting vehicle performance and raising overall costs.

[0005] Therefore, providing a retractable photovoltaic module system that can increase the area of ​​photovoltaic panels, reduce the length and weight of slide rails, and reduce the cost of automotive assemblies has become an urgent problem to be solved in the industry. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a scalable photovoltaic module system to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A retractable photovoltaic module system includes a housing, four movable modules, multiple positioning modules, multiple second slide rails, four panels, and four first photovoltaic panels.

[0009] The four sides of the housing are grooved. Four moving components are installed inside each groove. Each moving component includes two first slide rails and two sliding plates. The two first slide rails are fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the groove. The two sliding plates are slidably connected to the two first slide rails. Multiple positioning components are respectively provided on each moving component to limit the movement of the sliding plates. Multiple second slide rails are fixedly connected to each sliding plate. A "T"-shaped plate is slidably connected inside each second slide rail. The four panels are fixedly connected to every two "T"-shaped plates. The four first photovoltaic panels are fixedly installed on the surface of each panel.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the photovoltaic panel is positioned by setting up a moving component and cooperating with multiple second slide rails, while using positioning components and other limiting structures. This allows the photovoltaic panel to achieve two stages of expansion according to actual needs. This design can automatically increase the unfolded area of ​​the photovoltaic panel according to needs, thereby significantly improving the photovoltaic power generation efficiency. At the same time, it can also effectively reduce the space occupied by the photovoltaic panel in the stored state and improve space utilization efficiency.

[0011] A further improvement of this utility model's technical solution lies in that: the positioning assembly includes four connecting rods, four positioning rods, and four positioning blocks. Each connecting rod is fixedly connected to each slide plate. Each positioning rod is fixedly connected to each connecting rod. Every two positioning blocks are respectively fixedly installed on each first slide rail. Each positioning block has a positioning groove on its surface that is movably connected to each positioning rod.

[0012] Using the above technical solution, when the slide plate is stretched, it will drive the two connecting rods connected to it to move, thereby causing the two positioning rods to move accordingly and eventually abut against the inside of the two positioning blocks. The positioning grooves opened on the positioning blocks match the size of the positioning rods, ensuring that the positioning rods accurately abut against the positioning grooves.

[0013] A further improvement of this utility model is that it includes four telescopic components, each disposed on the lower surface of each panel. Each telescopic component includes a motor, a gear, and a rack. The motor is fixedly mounted on the inner surface of the groove. One end of the gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, and the other end is rotatably connected to a support plate, which is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the groove. The rack is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the panel, and the gear meshes with the rack.

[0014] In this technical solution, because the gear and rack mesh with each other, when the motor starts and drives the gear to rotate, the gear will push the rack to move along its track. The rack is connected to the fixed body of the panel, so the movement of the rack will drive the panel and the first photovoltaic panel on it to perform synchronous extension and retraction.

[0015] A further improvement of this utility model is that it also includes multiple abutment plates and multiple abutment posts, with every two abutment plates fixedly connected to each panel. Every four abutment posts are fixedly installed on each second slide rail.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the abutment plate is fixed to the panel, and its function is to form an abutment point with the abutment post when the panel is stretched, thereby limiting the range of movement of the panel. An abutment post is provided at each end of the upper surface of the second slide rail. When the panel is stretched and moved, the abutment plate will contact the abutment post, thereby limiting the front and rear position of the panel.

[0017] A further improvement of this utility model is that: each abutment plate has an arc-shaped groove on both sides of its surface that movably abuts each abutment post.

[0018] The above technical solution is adopted in which the arc-shaped grooves on both sides of the abutment plate match the surface of the abutment column, so that the abutment column can move and abut within the arc-shaped groove more stably.

[0019] A further improvement of this utility model is that: each side surface of the slide plate is fixedly connected with a limit strip, and each inner wall of the first slide rail is provided with a slide groove that is slidably connected to each limit strip.

[0020] The above technical solution involves installing limiting strips on both the upper and lower sides of the skateboard. By opening grooves on the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the first slide rail that match and are movably connected to the limiting strips, the skateboard can slide more stably along the two limiting strips when sliding.

[0021] A further improvement of this utility model is that a second photovoltaic panel is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the housing.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the second photovoltaic panel is integrated on the upper surface of the box, making full use of the box's unused space.

[0023] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technological progress achieved by this utility model compared to the prior art is as follows:

[0024] (1) This utility model provides a retractable photovoltaic module system. By setting a moving component and cooperating with multiple second slide rails, and using a positioning component and other limiting structures to position the photovoltaic panel, the photovoltaic panel can realize two stages of expansion functions according to actual needs. This design can automatically increase the unfolded area of ​​the photovoltaic panel according to needs, thereby significantly improving the photovoltaic power generation efficiency. At the same time, it can also effectively reduce the space occupied by the photovoltaic panel in the storage state, improve the space utilization efficiency, and realize the maximum utilization of solar energy by automotive photovoltaics in the limited roof area of ​​electric vehicles.

[0025] (2) This utility model provides a retractable photovoltaic module system. By setting a retractable component, the first photovoltaic panel can be automatically expanded, making it more convenient and practical. This design can flexibly adjust the degree of expansion of the first photovoltaic panel according to actual needs, and the operation is simple.

[0026] (3) This utility model provides a retractable photovoltaic module system. By setting a movable component and cooperating with the installed second slide rail, as well as the synergistic effect of multiple related structures, the photovoltaic panel can be extended and retracted. This design avoids the traditional method of using a single bulky slide rail to extend the photovoltaic panel, thereby effectively reducing the weight of the equipment and lowering the operating cost.

[0036] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides a retractable photovoltaic module system, including a housing 1, four movable components 3, multiple positioning components 4, multiple second slide rails 5, four panels 6, and four first photovoltaic panels 7.

[0039] The four side surfaces of the housing 1 are respectively provided with grooves 2 of different heights, and four moving components 3 are respectively installed inside one groove 2. The moving component 3 includes two first slide rails 301 and two sliding plates 302. The two first slide rails 301 are respectively fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the groove 2, and the two sliding plates 302 are respectively slidably connected to the two first slide rails 301.

[0040] Each moving component 3 is provided with multiple positioning components 4 for limiting the sliding plate 302. Each sliding plate 302 is fixedly connected to a second slide rail 5, and a "T"-shaped plate 501 is slidably connected inside each second slide rail 5. The four panels 6 are fixedly connected to each pair of "T"-shaped plates 501 respectively, and a first photovoltaic panel 7 is fixedly installed on the surface of each panel 6.

[0041] The four surfaces of the housing 1 (front, back, left, and right) are each provided with a groove 2, and a movable component 3 can be installed inside each groove 2 to achieve a sliding function. Multiple positioning components 4 are evenly divided into four groups, with each group of positioning components 4 corresponding to one movable component 3 for limiting and fixing it. Furthermore, every two second slide rails 5 are installed opposite each movable component 3, and the panel 6 is fixed to two second slide rails 5. When the first photovoltaic panel 7 is stretched, the panel 6 will be pulled outward under the guidance of the second slide rails 5, initially pulling out half the distance. After the first photovoltaic panel 7 is pulled out halfway, continued force will cause the movable component 3 to drive the panel 6 to complete the remaining extension.

[0042] The first slide rail 301 has a groove inside that matches and slidably connects to the slide plate 302, thus ensuring the stability of the slide plate 302 during movement. Since the second slide rail 5 is fixed to the slide plate 302, it moves synchronously with the slide plate 302. Simultaneously, the "T"-shaped plate 501 is installed inside the second slide rail 5 and can slide along it, realizing a three-section sliding function. This allows the first photovoltaic panel 7 to be extended in either a semi-extended or fully extended state according to actual needs.

[0043] In this embodiment, by setting a moving component 3 and cooperating with multiple second slide rails 5, and using a positioning component 4 and other limiting structures to position the photovoltaic panel, the photovoltaic panel can realize two stages of expansion functions according to actual needs. This design can automatically increase the unfolded area of ​​the photovoltaic panel according to needs, thereby significantly improving the photovoltaic power generation efficiency. At the same time, it can also effectively reduce the space occupied by the photovoltaic panel in the storage state and improve space utilization efficiency.

[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, in another non-limiting embodiment, the positioning assembly 4 includes four connecting rods 401, four positioning rods 402, and four positioning blocks 403. One connecting rod 401 is fixedly connected to a sliding plate 302, and one positioning rod 402 is fixedly connected to one connecting rod 401. Every two positioning blocks 403 are fixedly mounted on a first slide rail 301. Each positioning block 403 has a positioning groove on its surface that is movably connected to each positioning rod 402.

[0045] One end of the connecting rod 401 is connected to the slide plate 302. When the slide plate 302 moves within the first slide rail 301, the connecting rod 401 slides along the outer surface of the first slide rail 301. One end of the positioning rod 402 is fixed to the connecting rod 401, and therefore moves synchronously with the connecting rod 401. When the slide plate 302 is stretched, it drives the two connecting rods 401 connected to it to move, thereby causing the two positioning rods 402 to move accordingly and finally abut against the interior of the two positioning blocks 403. The positioning grooves opened on the positioning blocks 403 match the dimensions of the positioning rods 402, ensuring that the positioning rods 402 accurately abut against the positioning grooves.

[0046] like Figure 6 As shown, in another non-limiting embodiment, four telescopic components 8 are further included, each disposed on the lower surface of each panel 6. Each telescopic component 8 includes a motor 801, a gear 802, and a rack 803. The motor 801 is fixedly mounted on the inner surface of the groove 2. One end of the gear 802 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 801, and the other end is rotatably connected to a support plate, which is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the groove 2. The rack 803 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the panel 6, and the gear 802 meshes with the rack 803.

[0047] Motor 801 is fixed inside slot 2. When motor 801 is started, it drives gear 802 to rotate. Gear 802 is fixed to the support plate via a rotating rod, and the rotating connection of the rod ensures that gear 802 remains stable during rotation. Since gear 802 meshes with rack 803, when motor 801 starts and drives gear 802 to rotate, gear 802 pushes rack 803 to move along its track. Rack 803 is connected to the fixed body of panel 6, so the movement of rack 803 will cause panel 6 and the first photovoltaic panel 7 on it to perform synchronous extension and retraction.

[0048] like Figures 1-6 As shown, preferably, it also includes a plurality of abutment plates 9 and a plurality of abutment posts 10, with each pair of abutment plates 9 fixedly connected to each panel 6, and each four abutment posts 10 fixedly installed on each second slide rail 5.

[0049] The abutment plate 9 is fixed to the panel 6. Its function is to form an abutment point with the abutment post 10 when the panel 6 is stretched, thereby limiting the range of movement of the panel 6. An abutment post 10 is provided at each end of the upper surface of the second slide rail 5. When the panel 6 is stretched and moved, the abutment plate 9 will contact the abutment post 10, thereby limiting the front and rear position of the panel 6.

[0050] like Figures 1-6 As shown, preferably, each abutment plate 9 has arc-shaped grooves on both sides of its surface that movably abut against each abutment post 10. The arc-shaped grooves on both sides of the abutment plate 9 match the surface of the abutment post 10, thus making the abutment post 10 more stable when it movably abuts against the arc-shaped grooves.

[0051] like Figures 1-6 As shown, preferably, limit strips are fixedly connected to both sides of each slide plate 302, and grooves that slide and connect slidably with each limit strip are respectively opened on both sides of the inner wall of each first slide rail 301. Limit strips are installed on both the upper and lower sides of the slide plate 302. By opening grooves that match and are movably connected to the limit strips on the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the first slide rail 301, the slide plate 302 can slide more stably along the two limit strips when sliding.

[0052] like Figures 1-6 As shown, preferably, a second photovoltaic panel 11 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the housing 1. By integrating the second photovoltaic panel 11 onto the upper surface of the housing 1, the unused space of the housing 1 is fully utilized, avoiding additional land occupation or installation area, while enabling the photovoltaic panel to receive sunlight more efficiently, thereby improving the overall photovoltaic power generation efficiency.

[0053] The working principle of this scalable photovoltaic module system will be explained in detail below.

[0054] like Figures 1-6As shown, the second photovoltaic panel 11 is installed on the top surface of the housing 1, and can directly receive sunlight for power generation. According to usage requirements, the first photovoltaic panel 7 in each slot 2 can be expanded. By starting the motor 801, the motor 801 runs and drives the gear 802 to rotate. At this time, the gear 802 pushes the rack 803 to move, thereby realizing the expansion of the first photovoltaic panel 7. During the expansion of the first photovoltaic panel 7, the panel 6 will drive the "T"-shaped plates 501 on both sides to slide within the two second slide rails 5. As the "T"-shaped plates 501 move, the abutment plate 9 on them will slide against the abutment post 10, which will position the "T"-shaped plates 501. At this time, the first photovoltaic panel 7 has completed half of its expansion. When the first photovoltaic panel 7 needs to be fully extended, the motor 801 continues to run, and the gear 802 further pushes the rack 803 to move. At this time, the "T"-shaped plates 501 on both sides of the panel 6 continue to slide, and drive the two abutment posts 10 to abut against the two abutment plates 9. At the same time, the two sliding plates 302 move within the two first slide rails 301 to complete the remaining extension action. Finally, the connecting rod 401 on the sliding plate 302 drives the positioning rod 402 to move and embed into the positioning groove opened on the positioning block 403 to achieve the final positioning of the sliding plate 302. At this time, the first photovoltaic panel 7 can be fully extended. Similarly, when it is necessary to extend the first photovoltaic panel 7 in other positions, the above steps can be repeated.

[0055] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
