BE1017670A6 - AUTONOMOUS SOLAR PARASOL SYSTEM. - Google Patents

Abstract

Abbreviation: autonomous solar parasol equipped on the top with amorphous solar cells and on the underside of white and yellow light-emitting diodes. During the day these cells capture the renewable energy and store it in a series of batteries located in the mast. A charge controller, a charge indicator lamp and a discharge indicator lamp are also located in the mast. A switch controls switching on and off.

Description

Autonomous parasol system.

The state of the art concerning photovoltaic solar panels that produce renewable energy has been in existence for several years.

On the other hand, the possibility of adapting it to an autonomous surface is already more complex.

The present invention relates to autonomous lighting in very low voltage on a patio umbrella.

This type of umbrella is usually placed at the top of a restaurant, coffee or individual table to offer guests ambient lighting and extra.

This parasol is therefore provided with amorphous photovoltaic cells (1) on the upper part and on the lower part of light-emitting diodes (2).

In the sunshade mast (3) are incorporated the batteries (4) the switch (5), the charge controller (8), a charge indicator lamp (6) and a discharge indicator lamp (7).

The amorphous photovoltaic cells (1) placed on the uprights above the fabric capture during daylight the solar energy that is accumulated in the batteries (4) located in the mast (3).

These cells (1) are placed on a ribbon which adheres to another ribbon by a different weaving system Velcro type so as to be dismounted.

This renewable energy thus accumulated is restored by the light-emitting diodes (2) placed on the underside of the parasol's whales.

The switch (5) which controls the switching on and off of the lighting is located in the mast (3) as well as the two charge indicator lamps (6) and discharge (7).

Claims (4)

1. Autonomous parasol type system characterized by comprising amorphous solar cells four times six panels of 2 volts 200 milliamps mounted in series and fixed on the upper part of the whales above the canvas. A self-supporting parasol type system according to claim 1, characterized in that removable solar cells attached to a tape which adheres to another tape by a different Velcro-type weaving system, feed a series of 1.2 volt batteries. 2500 milliamperes placed in series in the mast of 240 mm and 40 mm in diameter. A self-supporting parasol type system according to claims 1 and 2, characterized in that a charge controller mounted with a bipolar switch in the mast protects the batteries against overcharging and discharging. Also a series fuse protects the batteries from a short circuit. 4. Autonomous parasol type system claim 4, according to claims 1, 2 and 3, characterized in that the illumination consists of two self-adhesive rows of 12-volt white light-emitting diodes and 2 self-adhesive rows of 12-volt yellow light-emitting diodes.
