Solution Overview

Problem

Existing solar panel devices are inconvenient for transportation due to their large volume and have low power generation efficiency due to fixed inclination angles, limiting their use in various applications.

Innovation Solution

A solar device with a support assembly that includes a support base with adjustable mounting holes and a detachable support rod, allowing the solar panel to be inclined at adjustable angles to optimize sunlight exposure, thereby enhancing power generation efficiency and simplifying transportation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the solar panel is placed on a fixed bracket, then the device structure is simple, but the overall volume is large and inconvenient for transportation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice structureVSAvoidoverall volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The support assembly is divided into separate components: a support base with mounting holes and a support rod. The support rod can be detached from the support base, allowing the solar panel device to be disassembled into smaller parts for convenient transportation and storage, thereby reducing the overall volume when not in use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If the solar panel is placed on a fixed bracket, then the device structure is simple, but the inclination angle cannot be adjusted resulting in low power generation efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice structureVSAvoidpower generation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The support rod is designed to be rotatable relative to the support base, enabling dynamic adjustment of the solar panel's inclination angle. This allows the device to adapt to different sunlight angles throughout the day or season, maximizing power generation efficiency while maintaining a relatively simple device structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Volume of moving object

If the support rod is detachably connected, then the device volume is reduced for transportation, but the connection structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice volumeVSAvoidconnection structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting holes are directly integrated into the support base structure, eliminating the need for separate connection components. The support rod connects to the support base through these built-in mounting holes, achieving a compact design that reduces device volume while keeping the connection structure simple and easy to assemble.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
