Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric sightseeing vehicles, and more particularly to an electric sightseeing vehicle equipped with a solar panel. Background Technology

[0002] Solar-powered electric sightseeing vehicles, as a product that combines clean energy with sightseeing transportation, achieve energy replenishment by adding photovoltaic modules to the top of traditional electric sightseeing vehicles, effectively improving the economy and environmental friendliness of vehicle operation.

[0003] Currently, the mainstream solar panel installation methods mainly adopt two types: one is the horizontal installation layout, which fixes the photovoltaic panels parallel to the roof plane. Although this can maintain the average light-receiving area under different driving directions, the lack of an effective tilt angle makes it easy for water to accumulate on the surface when it rains. After long-term operation, the amount of dust accumulation is greater than that of the tilted type, which seriously affects the photovoltaic conversion efficiency. The other is the directional tilted layout. Although this method can improve the rainwater self-cleaning ability with a tilt angle of 15-35°, it is limited by the dynamic changes in the vehicle's driving path. When the driving direction is opposite to the tilt direction of the solar panel, its effective light-receiving area will drop sharply to less than 35%, causing a large fluctuation in photovoltaic production capacity. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an electric sightseeing vehicle equipped with a solar panel to address the problem that the solar panels of existing electric sightseeing vehicles cannot simultaneously achieve rainwater self-cleaning and a stable sunlight-receiving area.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: An electric sightseeing vehicle equipped with a solar panel mainly includes the main body of the electric sightseeing vehicle, the solar panel, and the adjustment mechanism.

[0006] The solar panel consists of a panel body and guide wheels; the panel body is placed on top of the main body of the electric sightseeing vehicle, and guide wheels are rotatably connected to the symmetrical two sides of the panel body.

[0007] The adjustment mechanism includes an arc-shaped guide rail, a suspension rope, and a winding drive component. The arc-shaped guide rail is fixed to the top of the electric sightseeing vehicle body and its longitudinal side is located next to the plate. The guide wheel next to the short side of the plate is placed in the same arc-shaped guide rail and uses the arc-shaped guide rail as the rotation trajectory. One end of the suspension rope is tied to the middle of the outer edge of the short side of the plate. The winding drive component is installed on the top horizontal section of the arc-shaped guide rail and connected to the other end of the suspension rope.

[0008] When one of the winding drive components tightens the hoisting rope, the guide wheel on the edge of the plate driven by it moves upward along the corresponding arc-shaped guide rail to form an inclined surface with different heights on both sides.

[0009] Furthermore, the arc-shaped trajectory of the arc-shaped guide rail located on one side of the plate overlaps with the trajectory formed by rotating around the center of the guide wheel on the other side of the plate as the axis of rotation.

[0010] Furthermore, the longitudinal side of the arc-shaped guide rail is recessed to form a limiting groove, and the guide wheel is located in the limiting groove with its surface in contact with it.

[0011] Furthermore, the angle between the radial line at the top of the curved guide rail and the horizontal plane at the top of the electric sightseeing vehicle is at most 35°.

[0012] Furthermore, the inner edge of the bottom of the longitudinal side of the arc-shaped guide rail is provided with an elastic pad for relative positioning of the guide wheel surface.

[0013] Furthermore, an electric telescopic rod is installed on the bottom of the longitudinal side of the arc-shaped guide rail. The movable end of the electric telescopic rod passes through the arc-shaped guide rail and contacts the wheel surface of the guide wheel.

[0014] Furthermore, reinforcing ribs are added between the two arc-shaped guide rails.

[0015] Furthermore, the top of the electric sightseeing vehicle is equipped with a guide section to guide the water flow along the inclined direction of the plate.

[0016] Furthermore, the winding drive is mounted at the bottom center of the horizontal side of the arc-shaped guide rail.

[0017] Furthermore, the winding drive includes a motor and a winding wheel; the motor is mounted at the bottom center of the horizontal side of the arc-shaped guide rail, the output shaft of the motor is connected to the winding wheel, and the end of the suspension rope is fixed to the winding wheel.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model include: The tilt angle of the solar panels can be adjusted by a regulating mechanism, according to the changes in the path of the electric sightseeing vehicle or the direction of the sun's rays, to meet the basic requirements for the amount of sunlight received, while taking into account both rainwater self-cleaning and the amount of sunlight received, thus providing flexibility and adaptability.

[0021] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementations without altering the essential spirit of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.

[0022] Example 1 This embodiment introduces an electric sightseeing vehicle equipped with a solar panel 2, which mainly includes an electric sightseeing vehicle body 1, a solar panel 2, and an adjustment mechanism 3.

[0023] The electric sightseeing vehicle mainly consists of a power drive system including a battery pack, electric motor, and transmission device; a load-bearing chassis system including a frame, suspension, and brakes; a body assembly; an electrical control system including battery management, instruments, and charging modules; an intelligent network system including a CAN bus, reversing camera, and radar; and an energy system including solar panels. Since electric sightseeing vehicles are existing technology, they will not be discussed in detail here.

[0024] The solar panel 2 is located on top of the electric sightseeing vehicle body 1. The solar panel 2 assembly includes a rectangular panel 21 and 304 stainless steel guide wheels 22 distributed along both sides. The panel 21 is placed on top of the electric sightseeing vehicle body 1. Figure 1 The diagram illustrates, for example, an adjustment assembly for driving the short side of plate 21. Specifically, the top middle section of the short side of plate 21 has a protruding ring for connection with adjustment mechanism 3.

[0025] The adjustment mechanism 3 is located at the corner of the short side of the plate 21 and includes the cooperation between the double arc-shaped guide rail 31 and the winding drive component 33. The arc-shaped guide rail 31 consists of two longitudinal sections and a horizontal section located in the longitudinal sections. The two sections can be formed by cutting with a cutting machine or by extruding aluminum alloy to form the arc-shaped guide rail 31. The limiting groove is located inside the longitudinal section and cooperates with the guide wheel 22 of the plate 21, that is, the wheel surface of the guide wheel 22 contacts the groove wall of the limiting groove. The arc-shaped guide rail 31 is fixed to the roof with bolts.

[0026] The winding drive unit 33 is installed on the top horizontal section of the arc-shaped guide rail 31 and connected to the plate 21 via a suspension rope 32. The winding drive unit 33 mainly consists of a motor and a winding wheel. The motor can be a waterproof servo motor, or it can be replaced with a stepper motor + reducer. The surface of the winding wheel located on the motor output shaft is covered with vulcanized rubber. The suspension rope 32 is made of high-strength nylon, with one end tied to the convex ring of the plate 21 and the other end wound around the winding wheel to form a closed-loop transmission. A guide wheel can be used for directional guidance during transmission. To reduce the impact of external environmental factors such as rain, the winding drive unit 33 can be installed at the bottom of the top horizontal section of the arc-shaped guide rail 31.

[0027] When the control motor drives the single-sided winding wheel to tighten, the corresponding side guide wheel 22 of the plate 21 is displaced along the arc surface of the guide rail, forming a continuously adjustable tilt surface of 0-35°. At this time, the opposite side guide wheel 22 acts as a rotation fulcrum and rotates synchronously around its center. An elastic pad made of polyurethane or silicone is provided at the bottom of the longitudinal side of the guide rail to provide relative restraint when the guide wheel 22 is at the bottom of the arc-shaped guide rail 31, reducing the shaking of the guide wheel 22 when it is at the bottom of the arc-shaped guide rail 31. In order to improve the stability of the arc-shaped guide rail 31, rectangular tube reinforcing ribs can be welded laterally between the arc-shaped guide rails 31. In addition, a guide part for guiding water flow is provided on the top of the electric sightseeing vehicle body 1 along the tilt direction of the plate 21 to achieve directional discharge of rainwater.

[0028] In this embodiment, the tilt angle of the solar panel 2 is adjusted by the adjustment mechanism 3, which is adjusted according to the changes in the path of the electric sightseeing vehicle or the direction of the sun's rays to meet the basic requirements for the light-receiving area, while taking into account both rainwater self-cleaning and the light-receiving area, thus providing flexibility and adaptability.

[0029] Example 2 This embodiment introduces an electric sightseeing vehicle equipped with a solar panel 2, which has a structure basically the same as the electric sightseeing vehicle equipped with a solar panel 2 described in Embodiment 1. The difference is that an electric telescopic rod is installed on the bottom of the longitudinal side of the arc-shaped guide rail 31 in this embodiment. The movable end of the electric telescopic rod passes through the arc-shaped guide rail 31 and contacts the wheel surface of the guide wheel 22 to limit the guide wheel 22. When the plate 21 is in an inclined state, it limits the guide wheel 22 located below, preventing it from sliding on the arc-shaped guide rail 31 and maintaining the stability of the inclined state of the plate 21.

[0030] This embodiment has the same beneficial effects as Embodiment 1.

[0031] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
