In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2a, 2b and 3, the photovoltaic panel assembly 20 is connected to the housing 10 by a damper shaft assembly 30 to enable folding storage of the photovoltaic panel assembly. Wherein, the damping shaft assembly 30 is respectively connected with the top edge of the photovoltaic panel assembly 20 and the top of the shell 10;

the damper shaft assembly 30 has a first rotation shaft 30a extending in a length direction of the housing 10 and a second rotation shaft 30b extending in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the housing 10 (i.e., a width direction of the housing 10).

Through the damping shaft assembly with two rotation axes that are perpendicular to each other, the photovoltaic panel assembly of this embodiment can form a wide range angle with the casing to the requirement that the photovoltaic panel needs to face sunshine-rich angle is adapted.

Specifically, in general, the photovoltaic panel assembly 20 should first be rotated upward about the first rotation axis 30a (the top edge of the photovoltaic panel assembly) as shown in fig. 2a so that the photovoltaic panel assembly 20 is out of the storage position in which it is attached to the right side surface 10b of the housing 10.

As shown in fig. 5a, the first fixing plate 32 is perpendicular to the first shaft 31, and the first shaft 31 extends along the second rotation axis 30 b. The second fixing plate 33 is sleeved on the first shaft 31 to have a degree of freedom of rotation around the first shaft 31. The second shaft 34 is rotationally fixed to the second fixing plate 33, and thus the second fixing plate 33 serves to connect the first shaft 31 and the second shaft 34. The first shaft 31 and the second shaft 34 are perpendicular to each other, and the second shaft 34 extends along the first rotation axis 30 a. The third fixing plate 35 is used for fixedly connecting the damper shaft assembly 30 with the photovoltaic panel assembly 20, and the third fixing plate 35 and the second shaft 34 form a whole, so that the third fixing plate 35 and the photovoltaic panel assembly 20 rotate together along with the second shaft 34 by taking the second fixing plate 33 as a fulcrum.

The applied torque is 1/2N. The safety factor of a certain torsion force is increased in actual production (generally, the safety factor is increased by more than 30 percent). Obtain the damping that the damping axle that each photovoltaic panel subassembly corresponds needs to provide according to above mode, the accessible is adjusted the damping of damping axle to required size with the elasticity of adjusting fastening nut.
