Abstract

The parasol has an upper part including a flexible fabric, which is covered with a set of solar collectors. The solar collectors are fixed with each other by an adhesive. A set of ventilator units are integrated in underside of the fabric, and is placed in center of the parasol, so that the fabric is folded up on its external part using folding blades of the units in order to limit windage when the parasol is not in use. A battery pack (9) is integrated in a lower part of the parasol and connected to an energy input portion by the collectors.

Description

15 20 25 30 L'invention concerne un parasol photovoltaïque. Auparavant, les cafés, les restaurants ou les hôtels pouvaient offrir des services à l'extérieur de leurs établissements pour les clients en terrasse : l'hiver d'être chauffés, l'été d'être rafraichis. Cela se faisait grâce à des sources d'énergie en provenance du réseau électrique, donc non locales, ou par le biais d'énergies fossiles aujourd'hui en raréfaction. De plus, les particuliers dans leurs jardins ou sur leurs terrasses, utilisent des parasols, sans autre fonctionnalité que celle de protéger du soleil ou de la pluie. L'invention permet d'offrir conjointement l'ensemble des fonctionnalités suivantes : Protection des personnes contre les éléments (pluie, soleil, neige, etc) Production d'énergie par le parasol lui-même, Ventilation en cas de chaleur excessive Chauffage en cas de température basse Fonctionnement ou recharge d'éléments extérieurs du type téléphones portables ou ordinateurs Stockage d'énergie éventuel avec recharge par le réseau extérieur si nécessaire Ainsi, l'invention concerne un parasol constitué en sa partie supérieure d'une toile (4) flexible recouverte d'un ensemble de capteurs solaires (1), ces deux éléments étant fixés l'un avec l'autre grâce à une colle (5). Des blocs ventilateurs (2) sont intégrés en sous face de la toile (4) , placés au centre du parasol, de façon à ce que la toile puisse se replier sur sa partie externe afin de limiter la prise au vent, quand le parasol n'est pas utilisé . Un ventilateur est intégré en sous face de la toile, placé au centre de la toile, ses pales repliables (13) permettant de fermer le parasol, quand ce parasol n'est pas utilisé . Des résistances chauffantes sont intégrées dans les bras repliables (6), ce qui procure à l'utilisateur du parasol, une sensation de chaud . Un chapeau (7) et des entrées d'air (8) assurent une circulation d'air neuf en provenance du dessus du parasol, cet air neuf s'écoulant vers le dessous du parasol . Un bloc batterie (9) est intégré en partie basse du parasol, ce bloc batterie étant relié pour la partie apport d'énergie par les capteurs solaires situés sur la toile, et par, de façon optionnelle, le réseau électrique ; ce bloc batterie est relié aux consommateurs que sont les ventilateurs, les résistances et divers appendices ou prises (10) réparties sur le parasol permettant de charger ou d'alimenter des appareils de l'utilisateur (ordinateur, téléphone portable, appareil photo, appareil de musique, etc) . Un interrupteur ou commutateur (12) permet de sélectionner la marche effective des ventilateurs et des résistances, selon la saison et les envies de l'utilisateur. s0 15 20 25 The invention relates to a photovoltaic parasol. Previously, cafes, restaurants or hotels could offer services outside their establishments for guests on the terrace: the winter to be heated, the summer to be refreshed. This was done through sources of energy from the electricity grid, so not local, or through fossil fuels today in rarefaction. In addition, individuals in their gardens or on their terraces, use umbrellas, with no other feature than to protect from the sun or rain. The invention makes it possible to jointly offer all of the following functionalities: Protection of persons against the elements (rain, sun, snow, etc.) Production of energy by the parasol itself, Ventilation in case of excessive heat Heating in case of low temperature Operation or recharging of the external elements of the type mobile phones or computers Possible energy storage with recharging by the external network if necessary Thus, the invention relates to an umbrella constituted in its upper part of a flexible fabric (4) covered with a set of solar collectors (1), these two elements being fixed together with an adhesive (5). Fan blocks (2) are integrated in the underside of the fabric (4), placed in the center of the parasol, so that the fabric can fold over its outer part to limit the wind, when the umbrella is not used. A fan is integrated in the underside of the canvas, placed in the center of the canvas, its folding blades (13) to close the umbrella, when the umbrella is not used. Heating elements are integrated in the foldable arms (6), which gives the user of the umbrella a feeling of warmth. A cap (7) and air inlets (8) ensure fresh air circulation from the top of the umbrella, this fresh air flowing to the underside of the umbrella. A battery pack (9) is integrated in the lower part of the umbrella, this battery pack being connected for the energy supply part by the solar collectors located on the fabric, and, optionally, the electrical network; this battery pack is connected to consumers that are fans, resistors and various appendices or sockets (10) distributed on the parasol for charging or powering the user's devices (computer, mobile phone, camera, camera music, etc). A switch or switch (12) makes it possible to select the actual operation of the fans and the resistors, according to the season and the desires of the user. s0 15 20 25

Claims
