Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the engineering field of a prefabricated solar cell panel network containment container that can be deployed, folded and transported. [Background technology]
[0002] Generally, it is known in the prior art that a power generation system from solar energy is to install solar cell panels on the ground or roof. This is not suitable for small-scale power use because it uses a large area, and when changing the location, it requires removal work for changing the location, and it takes a lot of time to remove, transport, and reinstall. Up to now, the market has begun to have power generation using clean solar energy as a power source, which is portable and has a ready-made installation type. However, it has the disadvantage that it requires manpower to install the support structure of the solar cell panel, and when it is ready to use, the user needs to store the support structure of the solar cell panel and put it into a container, which requires force, and when the panel is unfolded, it takes time to adjust the height to suit the installation location because the installation location is not flat and the area may be limited depending on the location.
[0003] Therefore, a new type of ready-installed portable clean power source from solar energy has been devised. It has two sizes, 12ft and 20ft, which can be selected according to the intended use location, and is characterized by using an engine power source to carry the panel along the frame rail arranged to assist when spreading the panel, and a labor-saving device (WINCH) power source to carry the wire when storing the panel. When the remote is pressed, when storing, the labor-saving device (WINCH) pulls the network wire, carries the solar cell panel, moves it along the frame rail, and returns it to the container shelf. This contributes to saving human labor in panel installation and storage on the container shelf. Also, the slide rail system adjustment tool installation allows the panel installation height to be adjusted to be appropriate with respect to the ground.
[0004] The height-adjustable solar cell installation container described in Patent Document 1 is in the shape of a container, and is composed of a metal pipe beam set along the length direction, a metal pipe beam set along the width direction, a rectangular metal structural base panel, a prefabricated solar cell panel, a pipe beam front end fixed support column set along the length direction, a pipe beam front end height adjustment support column set along the length direction, a pipe beam side end height adjustment support column set arranged along the width direction, a rear end height adjustment support column base lift jack, and a side end height adjustment support column base lift jack. The rectangular metal structural base panel having the solar cell panel has a pipe set along the length direction, which is appropriately engaged with the upper part, and the rectangular metal structural base panel has a pipe set along the length direction. The lower part of the metal structural base panel has a set of lengthwise metal pipe beams arranged in the center for supporting a set of lengthwise metal pipe beam front end fixed columns arranged in the center at the top end of the container, and a set of lengthwise metal pipe beam rear end fixed columns arranged in the center close to the rear wall of the container, and has metal pipe beams along the width direction for supporting a set of lengthwise metal pipe beam side end height adjustment support columns arranged from the center toward the rear of the container close to the side walls, and the bases of both sets of height adjustment support columns are fitted with jacks for adjusting the height up and down as required. However, the disadvantage is that the area of the solar cell panel is limited and it cannot be expanded and opened, so the possible electrical energy generation is low.
