Description

A foldable vehicle-mounted photovoltaic sunshade carport Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a photovoltaic sunshade carport, in particular to a flexible and foldable vehicle-mounted photovoltaic sunshade carport. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the global new energy vehicle industry, more and more people are choosing to purchase new energy vehicles, with the proportion of electric vehicles increasing year by year. Consequently, the number of new energy vehicles in my country is increasing. Vehicles are mobile devices, but in many cases, they are often parked without a carport, leaving them directly exposed to the scorching sun. In the summer, when the sun is strong, cars and seats can become extremely hot. To address this issue, a variety of sunscreen films and sunshades are available on the market. In the context of the dual carbon economy, low-carbon economy and green environmental protection are becoming increasingly popular concepts. In line with this trend, many carports are now designed as photovoltaic carports. These carports primarily use solar energy to generate electricity, and the stored energy can be used to charge electric vehicles. Photovoltaic power generation is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, reducing carbon dioxide emissions and aligning with the global trend of low-carbon economy and green environmental protection.

[0003] However, the shortage of parking spaces with charging stations and the increasing number of cars in my country are becoming increasingly problematic. The difficulty of charging and the shortage of parking spaces have led to the gradual emergence of photovoltaic carports. While photovoltaic carports are already being built in many parking lots, they are, after all, infrastructure that cannot be moved or stored with the vehicle. Installing power supply equipment in a photovoltaic carport requires securing space, laying the foundation through civil engineering, laying cables, and upgrading switchgear, transformers, and circuits. In addition to these electrical tasks, environmental impact assessments must be conducted, creating a significant workload. Consequently, mobile photovoltaic solar carports have emerged on the market. For example, Chinese patent document CN201520870765 discloses a mobile photovoltaic solar carport that includes at least two solar panels connected by flexible connectors. A retractable bracket supports the panels below, which are connected to a power output port. This mobile carport can be conveniently installed on the roof of a vehicle depending on the parking location. The solar cells are gently foldable, and the bracket is removable, providing plug-and-play functionality. Compared with traditional fixed solar carports, it has the advantages of portability, adjustable solar panel direction, high power generation and small footprint.

[0004] However, the telescopic bracket of the above-mentioned mobile carport is rigidly connected to the solar panel, so the angle between the telescopic bracket and the solar panel cannot be adjusted, resulting in the inclination angle of the carport as a whole cannot be adjusted. Moreover, the rigid connection structure between the telescopic bracket and the solar panel is complicated and troublesome to install, requiring not only a top fixing shaft and a locking top cover, but also through holes at the four corners of the solar panel, through which the top fixing shaft passes through the through holes and connects to the locking top cover to fix the telescopic bracket to the solar panel, resulting in high costs and a poor user experience.

[0027] As will be fully appreciated by those skilled in the art, the features of the different embodiments of the present disclosure may be coupled or combined with each other in part or in whole, and may cooperate with each other in various ways and be driven technically. The embodiments of the present disclosure may be performed independently of each other, or may be performed together in a mutually dependent relationship.

[0028] Referring to Figures 1 to 3, the utility model discloses a foldable vehicle-mounted photovoltaic sunshade carport, including a retractable bracket 1 and a flexible photovoltaic panel 2. The edge of the flexible photovoltaic panel 2 is sewn with a edging 3, and the edging 3 can be made of waterproof Oxford cloth. The edge of the flexible photovoltaic panel 2 is embedded in the edging 3 and connected together by sewing. The edging 3 is used to protect the edge of the flexible photovoltaic panel 2 and improve the connection strength of the edge of the flexible photovoltaic panel 2. The main body of the flexible photovoltaic panel 2 is made of a solar film material such as copper indium gallium selenide, and the edge material of the flexible photovoltaic panel 2 is a protective and insulating plastic material. A flexible connecting structure is provided on the edging 3, and the retractable bracket 1 can be connected to the flexible connecting structure so that the angle between the flexible photovoltaic panel 2 and the retractable bracket 1 can be adjusted. In the present application, there are six retractable brackets 1, which are respectively located at the four corners and the middle of the flexible photovoltaic panel 2, so that the flexible photovoltaic panel 2 can be unfolded and flattened. Because the edging 3 in the present application is a twistable flexible material and adopts a flexible connection structure, the tilt angle of the flexible photovoltaic panel 2 can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the retractable brackets 1 respectively. For example, we can lower the height of the two front retractable brackets 1 and then raise the height of the two rear retractable brackets 1. In this way, the flexible photovoltaic panel 2 forms an inclined state with the front lower and the back higher. Of course, we can also lower the height of the retractable bracket 1 on the left and then raise the height of the retractable bracket 1 on the right. The flexible photovoltaic panel 2 forms an inclined state with the left lower and the right higher. The flexible photovoltaic panel 2 also includes a photovoltaic inverter, which is manufactured by existing technologies, so the specific structure is not described in detail.

[0029] As shown in the figure, the flexible connection structure is a connection sleeve 4 made of flexible material, and the end of the retractable bracket 1 is provided with a connection pipe 5 inserted into the connection sleeve 4. The flexible material is preferably waterproof Oxford cloth. Because the connection sleeve 4 of the present application is parallel to the edge 3 and the flexible photovoltaic panel 2 for ease of processing, it is only necessary to use a square Oxford cloth to curl and clamp the edge of the Oxford cloth to the edge 3, and then sew them together. The Oxford cloth will naturally form a cloth tube-shaped connection sleeve 4. The connection pipe 5 is directly inserted into the connection sleeve 4 to achieve a flexible connection. Of course, the connection pipe 5 is a curved pipe, so that one end is connected to the connection pipe 5 and the other end is connected to the retractable bracket 1, and the installation is very simple. Of course, the connection sleeve 4 can also be set to a structure perpendicular to the flexible photovoltaic panel 2, so that the connection pipe 5 is a straight pipe and can be an integrated structure with the retractable bracket 1, but the connection sleeve 4 is set perpendicular to the flexible photovoltaic panel 2, which will increase the difficulty of sewing. The above structure can ensure that the flexible photovoltaic panel 2 can be tilted over a wide range around the central axis of the connection sleeve 4 on one side. In order to fix it more firmly, there is a connecting rope on the edging 3, which can be tied to the connecting tube 5 to prevent the connecting tube 5 from being separated from the connecting sleeve 4 in windy weather. As a further structure, one end of the connecting tube 5 is provided with a connecting screw hole, and one end of the retractable bracket 1 is provided with a connecting screw that cooperates with the connecting screw hole. The above structure can facilitate the assembly or disassembly of the connecting tube 5 and the retractable bracket 1, thereby facilitating storage and reducing space occupancy.

[0030] The telescopic bracket 1 includes an upper telescopic rod 6 and a lower sleeve 7. The upper telescopic rod 6 is located within the lower sleeve 7 and slidably engages with the lower sleeve 7. The lower sleeve 7 is provided with a locking member 8 capable of securing the upper telescopic rod 6. Specifically, the lower sleeve 7 is provided with a locking screw hole. The locking member 8 is a handle with a locking screw. The locking screw engages with the locking screw hole to lock the upper telescopic rod 6. Through the above structure, the telescopic bracket 1 can be adjusted in telescopic manner, and the structure is simple and easy to adjust.

[0031] As shown in the figure, a suction cup 9 is provided at the bottom end of the lower sleeve 7. The suction cup 9 is a common horn-shaped suction cup 9 made of plastic. The retractable bracket 1 can be more firmly fixed on the vehicle through the adsorption of the suction cup 9, and the surface of the vehicle body will not be damaged during disassembly and installation.

[0032] The above is a detailed introduction to a foldable vehicle-mounted photovoltaic sunshade carport provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Specific examples are used in this article to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and core idea of ​​the present invention. At the same time, for general technical personnel in this field, according to the idea of ​​the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
