Description

Parabolic mass production

[0001] The present invention relates to a parabolic sunshade, and more particularly, to a parabolic sunshade capable of generating power through light blocked or reflected from the sunshade.

[0002] Parasols are used to block strong sunlight, such as in summer.

[0003] A parasol has a similar shape and structure to an umbrella. When the user holds and opens the parasol, the parasol fabric spreads out to block sunlight and create shade.

[0004] However, if a reflective film is formed on the surface of the Yangsancheon to increase the blocking performance, the performance of blocking sunlight can be increased, but there is a problem that the reflected light is directed toward the surroundings, causing damage to people around.

[0005] Additionally, even if sunlight is blocked, users still feel the heat, and with the recent increase in the number of people carrying electronic devices such as cell phones, the need to manage their batteries is also increasing.

[0006] The present invention is intended to solve the above problems, and the purpose of the present invention is to provide a parabolic sunshade capable of reflecting sunlight to improve light-blocking performance.

[0007] The tasks of the present invention are not limited to the tasks mentioned above, and other tasks not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description below.

[0014] The above power demand unit may include a connector provided to supply power to another connected device.

[0015] The above power demand unit may be a fan mounted on the center pole.

[0016] The above solar power generation module may include a solar cell panel.

[0040] Hereinafter, with reference to the attached drawings, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail so that those skilled in the art can easily practice the present invention. The present invention may be implemented in various different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0042] Therefore, the embodiments described in this specification and the configurations illustrated in the drawings correspond to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and do not represent all of the technical ideas of the present invention, so there may be various equivalents and modified examples that can replace the configuration at the time of filing of the present invention.

[0043] In this specification, terms such as “include” or “have” are intended to describe the presence of a feature, number, step, operation, component, part or combination thereof described in the specification, but should be understood not to exclude in advance the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, operations, components, parts or combinations thereof.

[0044] When a component is said to be "in front of," "behind," "above," or "below" another component, this includes not only being placed "in front of," "behind," "above," or "below" the other component in direct contact with it, but also if there is another component intervening therebetween. Furthermore, when a component is said to be "connected" to another component, this includes not only being directly connected to one another, but also being indirectly connected to one another, unless there are special circumstances.

[0045] Hereinafter, a parabolic mass production (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0046] A parabolic sunshade (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a central shaft (110), a fixed hub (122), a sliding hub (124), a support shaft (132), an intermediate shaft (134), a sunshade (140), and a power generation means (150), as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

[0047] The above central rod (110) extends in one direction and may be provided with a handle (112) at the other end that can be held by a user.

[0048] The above handle (112) can be formed in various shapes, such as being formed in a ring shape or having a diameter larger than the center rod (110) for easy hand holding.

[0049] The above-mentioned central rod (110) is preferably hollow with an empty interior, but is not necessarily limited thereto. In addition, the central rod (110) is described as having a circular cross-section, but it does not necessarily have to be circular.

[0050] The above fixed hub (122) may be fixedly positioned on one end of the center rod (110). The above fixed hub (122) may be fixed at a position spaced apart from the other end (handle (112) side) of the one end of the center rod (110).

[0051] In addition, the sliding hub (124) can be slidably positioned along the center rod (110) at a point further away from the fixed hub (122) of the center rod (110) toward the handle (112).

[0052] In addition, the support rib (132) may be formed of a thin, elastic rod material, one of the ends of which is hinged to the sliding hub (124), and a plurality of such support ribs may be arranged radially along the circumference of the sliding hub (124).

[0053] Accordingly, the end of the support shaft (132) hinged to the sliding hub (124) can move in the extension direction of the center rod (110) according to the movement of the sliding hub (124).

[0054] The above intermediate rib (134) is hinge-connected to the fixed hub (122) and each of the support ribs (132), and a plurality of ribs can be radially arranged along the circumference of the fixed hub (122) in the same number as the number of support ribs (132).

[0055] In addition, each of the above intermediate parts (134) may be formed as a single member or may be provided by combining two or more members in a link form.

[0056] At this time, the intermediate shaft (134) can be hinged at the midpoint of the support shaft (132), that is, at a point spaced apart from the end where the support shaft (132) is hinged to the sliding hub (124).

[0057] Accordingly, when the sliding hub (124) moves to one end according to the movement of the sliding hub (124), the support rib (132) spreads out radially, and when the sliding hub (124) moves to the other end, the support rib (132) folds in a direction parallel to the center rod (110) (Fig. 11).

[0058] Meanwhile, the above-mentioned Yangsancheon (140) may be provided to be combined with each of the above-mentioned support ribs (132) and folded or unfolded according to the movement of the above-mentioned sliding hub (124).

[0059] That is, the above-mentioned Yangsancheon (140) blocks or reflects sunlight when unfolded, and can be curved in a parabolic shape so that the center of curvature is formed at the end side of the center rod (110) when unfolded.

[0060] That is, when the sliding hub (124) is moved to one side, the middle rib (134) pushes the middle point of both ends of the support rib (132), so that the support rib (132) is bent, and the saddle (140) fixed to the support rib (132) can also be bent according to the bending of the support rib (132).

[0061] At this time, the center of curvature of the curved Yangsancheon (140) and the support rib (132) can be formed on one end of the center rod (110) (in the opposite direction to the other end provided with the handle (112).

[0062] Accordingly, when the above-mentioned parasol (140) is spread out, it is curved in the opposite direction to a typical umbrella or parasol, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 5.

[0063] In addition, the power generation means (150) is positioned at a position closer to one end of the central rod (110) than the fixed hub (122) of the central rod (110), that is, closer to one end of the central rod (110) than the solar irradiation stream (140), and is a component that generates power by sunlight reflected on the solar irradiation stream (140).

[0064] At this time, the power generation means (150) may be a solar power generation module that generates power by sunlight reflected from the Yangsancheon (140), or a solar thermal power generation module that generates power by solar heat reflected by sunlight reflected from the Yangsancheon (140).

[0065] Meanwhile, the above-mentioned parasol (140) can be formed of a flexible material such as fabric, vinyl, or synthetic resin, and a reflective surface (142) that reflects sunlight can be formed on a surface of the parasol (140) facing one end of the central rod (110).

[0066] The above reflective surface (142) may be formed by applying or coating a paint that reflects sunlight on a surface facing one end of the center rod (110) of the above parasol (140), or the material of the above parasol (140) itself may be formed of a material that reflects sunlight well.

[0067] Even if a reflective surface (142) is formed on one side of the above-mentioned Yangsancheon (140), since the side of the Yangsancheon (140) is formed in a more protruding reverse parabolic shape, the reflected light is not reflected to the side of the Yangsancheon (140) but is re-reflected on the Yangsancheon (140) or, as shown in FIG. 5, is directed toward the center of curvature of the parabola formed by the Yangsancheon (140), so that damage to people around can be prevented.

[0068] In addition, the above-mentioned Yangsancheon (140) may be formed with a ventilation slit (144) as shown in FIG. 8 to minimize the influence of wind. Since the Yangsancheon (140) is formed in a reverse parabolic shape, the blowing wind can be gathered inside the space surrounded by the Yangsancheon (140). At this time, since the wind is discharged by the ventilation slit (144), the influence of the blowing wind can be minimized.

[0069] In addition, it may include a power demand unit (160) that is electrically connected to the power generation means (150) and consumes electricity generated in the power generation module.

[0070] The above power demand unit (160) may be a fan (162) mounted on the center rod (110) or a connector (164) connected to another electronic device and supplying power to the connected electronic device.

[0071] At this time, the fan (162) may be provided to blow wind to the user by rotating with electricity generated from the power generation means (150).

[0072] In addition, the fan (162) is provided with a foldable propeller and a rotating shaft as shown in FIGS. 4 and 7, so that it can be folded when not in use and unfolded when in use.

[0073] In addition, the connector (164) can be connected to another electronic device to supply power to the connected electronic device to charge or use the device.

[0074]

[0075] Meanwhile, if the power generation means (150) is a solar power generation module, it may include a housing (152) and a solar cell panel (154), as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 5 to FIG. 7.

[0076] The housing (152) can be mounted on the center rod (110) as shown in Fig. 3. At this time, the position at which the housing (152) is mounted can be mounted at a position closer to one end than the fixed hub (122).

[0077] Additionally, a solar cell panel (154) may be provided on the side of the housing (152). The solar cell panel (154) may be positioned at a focal point where light reflected by the parabolic-shaped curved parabolic sunshade (140) is gathered, as shown in FIG. 5.

[0078] That is, since the solar cell panel (154) is located at the point where the light reflected from the above-mentioned Yangsancheon (140) is collected, power generation can be generated more efficiently using the collected light.

[0079] Of course, the solar cell panel (154) may be formed on the sky-facing side of the housing (152).

[0080] Electricity generated from the above-mentioned power generation means (150) can be supplied to the power demand unit (160) through a circuit unit (not shown) that performs functions such as rectification.

[0081] In addition, the power demand unit (160) may be equipped with a switch (166) and a circuit (not shown) that selects whether to supply the electricity generated by the power generation means (150) to the fan (162) or to the connector (164).

[0082]

[0083] Hereinafter, parabolic mass production according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0084] Parabolic mass production according to another embodiment of the present invention is different from the above-described embodiment in the power generation means, but the remaining parts are the same. Therefore, in the following description, only the power generation means that are different from the above-described embodiment will be described, and the description of the remaining parts will be omitted.

[0085] The power generation means (150) of the parabolic mass production (100) according to the above-described embodiment was a solar power generation module that generates power by solar energy, but the power generation means of the parabolic mass production according to the present embodiment may be a solar thermal power generation module that generates power by solar heat.

[0086] That is, power generation is achieved by solar heat from sunlight reflected from the above Yangsancheon (140).

[0087] The above solar power generation module (250) may include a housing (252), a Peltier panel (254), a heat conducting portion (270), and an insulating portion (280), as shown in FIG. 9.

[0088] The housing (252) can be mounted on the center rod (110) as shown in Fig. 9. At this time, the position at which the housing (252) is mounted can be mounted at a position closer to one end than the fixed hub (122).

[0089] In addition, the Peltier panel (254) may be provided on the side of the housing (252). The Peltier panel (254), like the solar cell panel (154) described above, may be positioned at a focal point where light reflected by the parabolic-shaped curved parabolic sunshade (140) is gathered.

[0090] That is, since the Peltier panel (254) is located at the point where the light reflected from the above-mentioned Yangsancheon (140) gathers, it is located at a position where it is efficiently heated by sunlight, and thus power generation can be generated more efficiently.

[0091] As is known, the above Peltier panel (254) is a panel in which Peltier elements are arranged to generate power by the temperature difference between the hot side and the cold side.

[0092] Accordingly, the side that is positioned so as to face the outside of the housing (252) and is irradiated with sunlight becomes the hot side, and the side opposite to the hot side can become the cold side.

[0093] That is, the Peltier element placed on the side of the housing (252) can be placed so that the hot side is exposed to the outside of the housing (252) and the cold side faces the inside of the housing (252).

[0094] The above Peltier panel (254) can be provided with a heat conducting member (270) to cool the cold side, as power generation is more efficient the greater the temperature difference between the hot side and the cold side.

[0095] The above heat conducting portion (270) may be provided to contact the cold side of the Peltier panel (254) and discharge heat from the cold side of the Peltier element to the outside to cool the cold side.

[0096] The above heat conducting portion (270) may include a first heat dissipation portion (272) and an extension heat dissipation portion (274), as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10.

[0097] The first heat dissipation member (272) and the extended heat dissipation member (274) may be formed of a lightweight material with excellent thermal conductivity, such as aluminum. Of course, the present invention is not limited to the material of the heat-conducting member (270) being aluminum, and may be formed of other known materials.

[0098] The first heat dissipation unit (272) is placed within the housing (252) and is in contact with the cold side of the Peltier panel (254) to cool the heat of the cold side of the Peltier panel (254) through heat conduction.

[0099] In addition, the extended heat dissipation part (274) may be formed so that the first heat dissipation part (272) is coupled and extends into the center rod (110).

[0100] Accordingly, the extended heat dissipation part (274) is structured to be inserted and fitted into the central rod (110), and the first heat dissipation part (272) is coupled to a portion of the extended heat dissipation part (274) exposed on the outside of the central rod (110), and the Peltier panel (254) is coupled to the first heat dissipation part (272).

[0101] Additionally, the heat of the Peltier panel (254) can be transferred to the extended heat dissipation part (274) through the first heat dissipation part (272) and dissipated to the outside.

[0102] Meanwhile, as described above, the greater the temperature difference between the hot side and the cold side, the more advantageous the Peltier panel (254) is for power generation.

[0103] Therefore, it is advantageous that heat from sunlight is irradiated only to the hot side of the Peltier panel (254) and no heat is supplied to other parts.

[0104] However, since the power generation module is located on the upper side of the Yangsancheon (140), it can be exposed to sunlight and heated.

[0105] Accordingly, an insulating member (280) may be further provided to block heat from being transferred to the housing (252), the Peltier panel (254), and the heat-conducting member (270).

[0106] The above insulation part (280) can be formed of a material with low thermal conductivity, such as styrofoam or silicone.

[0107] The above insulation part (280) may include a first insulation material (282) and a second insulation material (284), as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10.

[0108] The first insulating material (282) is arranged between the first heat dissipation unit (272), the Peltier panel (254), and the housing (252) to block heat from the housing (252) from being transferred to the first heat dissipation unit (272) and the Peltier panel (254).

[0109] In addition, the second insulation material (284) is placed between the extended heat dissipation part (274) and the central rod (110) to block the heat of the central rod (110) from being transferred to the extended heat dissipation part (274).

[0110] Of course, if necessary, the second insulation material (284) may be formed shorter than the extended heat dissipation part (274) so ​​that a part of the extended heat dissipation part (274) is exposed from the second insulation material (284) to facilitate the release of the transferred heat to the outside.

[0111] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described, the spirit of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments presented in this specification, and those skilled in the art who understand the spirit of the present invention will be able to easily propose other embodiments by adding, changing, deleting, or adding components within the scope of the same spirit, but this will also be considered to fall within the spirit of the present invention.
