BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure for mounting a solar cell sheet for an automobile.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 7, in an automobile, particularly a general passenger car, a front window glass surface and a rear window glass surface of a passenger compartment are covered with a sheet material 1 made of paper, aluminum or the like. 2. Description of the Related Art There is known a technology for blocking sunlight and preventing a temperature rise in a vehicle interior and deterioration due to ultraviolet rays.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The above-mentioned conventional window glass shielding structure has the idea of actively utilizing sunlight rays simply for the purpose of preventing sunlight rays from entering the passenger compartment. Absent.

In recent years, as seen in solar cells and the like, solar rays have been positively evaluated as an energy source.
Technologies for effective use, such as power generation from sunlight, have been developed. From that point of view, the conventional technology has a loss in energy and has room for improvement.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for a solar cell sheet that enables sunlight to be used as an energy source.

[0006]

According to the findings, in the prior art, the sun rays are passively evaluated as being undesirable from the viewpoint of incidence into the passenger compartment. Attention is paid only to the shielding of light rays, and the viewpoint is incompatible with the intrinsic function of the window glass part.

[0007] By changing this idea, that is, by evaluating the solar rays impinging on the window glass part from the conventional standpoint of incidence into the vehicle cabin and from a unique and unique viewpoint, the solar rays can be converted to energy. This makes it possible to develop an unprecedented technology that can be used as a source and furthermore, harmonizes the intrinsic function of the window glass part with the shielding structure.

The present invention has been made based on the above findings, that is, the present invention lays guide rails on both sides of a vehicle interior from a front window glass side to a rear window glass side via a vehicle interior ceiling surface , Respectively

According to the above construction, the sunlight is prevented from entering the vehicle interior as in the prior art, and the solar cell sheet is further placed on the front window glass surface or the rear window glass surface without impairing the utility of the conventional technology. When it is set and connected to the terminal, power is secured by the principle of a solar cell, and power can be supplied to electrical components by charging the battery or using it together with a control circuit. The present invention can be operated while the vehicle is running or while the vehicle is stopped, and operations such as setting and storing the solar cell sheet are easily performed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The present embodiment is an example of a sedan type automobile, and as shown in FIG.
Guide rails 14 and 15 are laid over the front window glass surface 11, the ceiling surface 12, and the rear window glass surface 13. Both sides of the movable solar cell sheet 16 are combined with the guide rails 14 and 15 to form the guide rail 1.
It is slidable along 4 and 15. The rearview mirror in the vehicle compartment is detachable.

As shown in FIG. 2, the solar cell sheet 16 is composed of a plurality of plate-shaped sheet units 19 in which a solar cell 18 is accommodated in a transparent film 17 and is connected at a thinned portion of the film 17. Each seat unit 19 is connected to an adjacent unit 19 by an interconnector 20. Therefore, the solar cell sheet 16 has a bellows shape as a whole, and can be bent in the arrangement direction of the units 19. Here, the guide rail 1
Regarding the combination of the solar cell sheets 16 to 4 and 15, both ends of the sheet unit 19 are combined.

At the lower ends of the front window glass surface 11 and the rear window glass surface 13, fixed solar cell sheets 21 and 22 as terminals which can be connected to the solar cell sheet 16 are provided as shown in FIGS. , Each is installed. The solar cell sheets 21 and 22 can be tilted freely, and are raised up to the respective glass surfaces when using this embodiment.

According to the above configuration, the solar cell sheet 16
Can be moved to the front window glass surface 11 or the rear window glass surface 13 as desired. At this time, the solar cell sheet 16 also has a bellows shape at the curved portion at the upper end of each glass surface as described above. Therefore, since the solar cell sheet 16 can be deformed so as to conform to the curved portion, the movement of the solar cell sheet 16 can be made smooth.

As described above, the solar cell sheet 16 is provided on the front window glass surface 11 or the rear window glass surface 1.
Third, since it can be positioned in accordance with the incident direction of the sunlight, power can be generated using the sunlight as an energy source even while the vehicle is running. Thereby,
The solar cell sheet 16 can be connected to a battery for charging, or can be used in combination with a control circuit to supply power to loads such as electrical components. FIG. 5 shows a block diagram of an example of an electric system constituting the solar cell sheet 16 of the present embodiment.

The present embodiment also functions as a conventional structure for blocking sunlight from entering the vehicle interior, not only providing the same effect as the conventional one, but also provides a solar cell sheet even when the vehicle is stopped. 16 can be set as shown in FIG. 6 to perform power generation. At that time, the solar cell sheets 21 and 22 are set up and the solar cell sheet 1
6 is effective.

In order to stop the present embodiment, the solar cell sheet 16 may be housed in the ceiling surface (vehicle room ceiling surface) 12 and can be housed without obstruction. that time,
It is desirable that means for housing such as a stopper be provided in advance on the ceiling surface 12 or the like to fix the solar cell sheet 16.

As described above, according to this embodiment, sunlight can be used as an energy source, and more specifically, the solar cell sheet 16 can be aligned with the incident direction of the sunlight, so that the vehicle can travel or stop. Regardless of solar cell sheet 1
6 enables power generation. As a result, the battery can be charged even when the vehicle is stopped, and the electric performance of the vehicle can be generally improved by using the control circuit together, for example, to improve the power supply to loads such as electric components. it can.

Further, in the present embodiment, it is needless to say that the operation of setting, storing and the like is easy, and furthermore, it is possible to realize the conventionally recognized prevention of undesired sunlight from entering the vehicle interior.

Although the above embodiment is applied to a sedan-type vehicle, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is needless to say that the present invention can be applied to other types of vehicles. is there.

[0020]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the solar radiation can be used as an energy source with an easy operation, the power generation capacity of the vehicle is improved, the charging and the power supply to the load can be improved, Performance can be improved. In addition, it is possible to achieve effects such as prevention of undesired sunlight from entering the vehicle interior.
