Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a solar panel, and particularly to a portable solar panel having both a fixing mechanism and a storage mechanism.

Background Art

[0002] Due to the improvement of environmental awareness and the progress of renewable energy technology, the application of solar panels in various means of transportation has gradually attracted attention. The automobile is one of the most popular means of transportation in daily life and has become a platform with potential in solar applications. In the current market, some electric vehicle brands are trying to integrate solar panels into the vehicle body design. For example, by installing solar cell modules on the roof, the cruising range of the battery can be extended, or it can be supplied as an auxiliary power source, such as for in-vehicle lighting, ventilation, and multimedia systems. Furthermore, automobile manufacturers have developed portable solar panels for outdoor or emergency charging. Although the power provided by current solar panels is insufficient to drive the entire vehicle, with the improvement of efficiency conversion and the evolution of design technology, the application potential in the automotive field cannot be ignored.

[0003] In current applications, the most suitable place to install a solar panel is the roof, which not only receives sufficient sunlight but is also an area that is easy to integrate in terms of the appearance and structure of the vehicle. However, some users or manufacturers consider temporarily expanding a portable solar panel when parking and placing it on other parts of the vehicle to increase the light-receiving area, such as on the front glass, bonnet, or side window. On the other hand, the angle of the front glass is just right and the area is large, making it a very attractive option. However, such a temporary installation method also has other practical problems, such as being difficult to fix, being prone to slipping due to a large windward area, or abnormally increasing the temperature inside the vehicle. Furthermore, because the glass itself cannot conduct heat as effectively as a metal car body, prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause heat to accumulate between the solar panel and the glass, accelerating the aging of electronic components and the formation of bubbles, thus affecting the lifespan or charging stability.

[0004] If you temporarily place solar panels on the windshield while parked, it may seem like you're maximizing sunlight utilization, but in practice, it causes numerous inconveniences and potential problems. Firstly, because the glass surface is smooth, if the solar panel is not securely fixed, it will slide off due to wind, tilt angle, or vibrations from closing the car door, potentially damaging the unit or scratching the car's paintwork. Furthermore, because there is no heat-conducting layer between the solar panel and the glass, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can easily cause localized overheating, accelerating the stability and aging of the electrical circuits inside the panel. Furthermore, if the obstruction is too large, it will hinder air circulation inside the vehicle, causing the interior temperature to rise abnormally and gradually affecting the operation of sensors or equipment near the instrument panel. Aside from issues related to the period of use, the problem of storage after use cannot be ignored. Portable solar panels are generally large in size, so without dedicated storage space or mounting devices, they tend to take up valuable space in a car and can easily cause clutter. Furthermore, if the design for rolling or folding the plate is inadequate, repeated operation over a long period of time may damage the battery module or connections. Especially when moving quickly or parking frequently, the hassle of putting things away and reinstalling them can affect the willingness to use them. Therefore, when designing a system to place solar panels on the windshield, in addition to solving the issues of fixing and heat resistance, it is also necessary to properly plan the fixing mechanism and storage mechanism to improve practicality and the overall user experience. Therefore, providing a portable solar panel that combines both a fixing mechanism and a storage mechanism becomes a crucial challenge. [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0005] When designing a solar panel to be placed on the windshield, in addition to solving the issues of fixing and heat resistance, it is also necessary to properly plan the fixing mechanism and storage mechanism to improve practicality and the overall user experience.

[0006] The objective of this invention is to provide a portable solar panel that combines a fixing mechanism and a storage mechanism.

[0007] To achieve the above objective, this invention provides a portable solar panel. The portable solar panel comprises a solar panel module and a pair of side wings.

[0008] In one embodiment, the portable solar panel further includes at least one connecting belt and at least one magnet, with one end of the connecting belt connected to one side of the solar panel module and the other end connected to the magnet.

[0009] In one embodiment, the thickness of the side wing is between 0.3 mm and 2 mm.

[0010] To achieve the above objective, this invention provides another portable solar panel. The portable solar panel comprises a solar panel module and a protective cover. The solar panel module includes multiple solar panels, which are combined and connected by a foldable, stacked structure; a protective cover covers the solar panel module from the back of the light-receiving surface of the solar panels when the module is unfolded, and side wings are provided on opposite sides of the protective cover.

[0011] In another embodiment, the thickness of the side wing is between 0.3 mm and 2 mm.

[0012] In another embodiment, the protective cover includes at least one connecting belt and at least one magnet.

[0013] In another embodiment, one end of the connecting belt is connected to one side of the protective cover, and the other end is connected to a magnet.

[0014] In another embodiment, one end of the connecting belt is connected to one side of the solar panel module, and the other end is connected to a magnet.

[0015] As described above, the portable solar panel of this invention can be fixed not only by sandwiching the pair of side wings provided on opposite sides of the solar panel module 1, or the pair of side wings provided on opposite sides of the protective cover, between the car door, but also by attaching it to the car body with magnets. Therefore, the portable solar panel of this invention has an excellent fixing mechanism. Furthermore, since the portable solar panel of this invention has a foldable laminated structure, it can be folded and stacked, making it easy to store, thus the solar panel of this invention has an excellent storage mechanism. In other words, the portable solar panel of this invention is a portable solar panel that combines a fixing mechanism and a storage mechanism. [Brief explanation of the drawing]
