20180367083
The application relates to, but is not limited to, the technical field of solar power generation, and in particular relates to, but is not limited to, a trailer-type energy vehicle.
Today's society relies mainly on traditional fossil energy sources. And 74% of the total global energy consumption comes from coal, oil, natural gas and other mineral sources. The application of fossil energy has promoted the development of society, but the resources are increasingly exhausted. The uncontrolled use of fossil energy has caused serious environmental pollution and climate change problems. Countries all over the world deem the development of renewable energy and the new energy as an important component of their future energy strategy, and solar energy is one important development target thereof.
As a result of the rapid development of solar cells, especially flexible solar cells such as thin films, there is a prospect that these problems can be solved. At present, corresponding products have emerged in the market, such as solar charging paper, solar charging bag, etc. However, such charging equipment can only meet the short-term emergency use. The solar power generation is unstable and thus cannot meet the power supply requirement needed by large or medium-sized appliances.
With the emergence of flexible solar panels, many portable solar charging devices have been invented, but these portable solar charging devices still have many flaws, such as the area of available solar panels is too small, or the solar charging devices are not easy to carry. For example, a common solar battery pack structure includes two substrates which are hinged with each other. The solar cell is set on the substrate, the solar cell is also provided with the upper over. This solar battery pack can be folded around. However, the solar battery pack substrate is made of hard material and can only be folded simply. After being folded, the area thereof is still very large. Moreover, the thickness of the solar battery pack is also very thick, which makes the battery pack inconvenient to carry. The power of cell assemblies that can be held in the solar battery pack is not high enough.

When high-power power generation is required, the top panel can be opened, and the reel-type flexible photovoltaic power generation strip on the reel can be unfolded to generate electricity. Since an energy storage battery is arranged inside, electricity can still be stably supplied even under the condition that the sunshine is not sufficient. Thus, the trailer-type energy vehicle based on flexible solar power generation is suitable for long-term field use, and can supply power for high-power appliances, and it is easy to store. When it is not used, it takes up less space.
