Description

The present invention relates to a fan with a photovoltaic power generation function, in which a thin photovoltaic power generation device is provided in a fan portion of a fan, a storage battery is provided in a handle portion, and a function of charging various devices for various uses from the storage battery is provided. It is.

Traditionally, fan fans have been mainly used to generate wind. The use of sunshade and insects, the pursuit of design by devising fan image depiction, text description, form, etc. It was a secondary function, and there was no function of photovoltaic power generation or storage battery. In addition, commercially available portable small-sized charging devices with a solar power generation function tend to have a small panel area due to portability and downsizing, and charging with sunlight takes time or sufficient solar power. It was in a situation where the function of photovoltaic power generation could not be demonstrated.

Conventional fan fans are regarded as the main function of generating wind, and it is a secondary function to send messages as pursuit of design by drawing fan shapes and illustrations or as advertising media Met. Therefore, the use of the fan part while not using the fan was also limited.

Furthermore, although the functions of portable information terminals have undergone remarkable development with the arrival of the ubiquitous society in recent years, the power consumption of the terminal itself has increased and the demand for operating time has increased.

In addition, since the Great East Japan Earthquake, the necessity and demand for emergency power supplies for disaster response have increased, and the number of devices that require charging is increasing not only for portable information terminals but also for various fields and applications.

In addition, research on the downsizing and thinning of solar cells is ongoing, but trial and error continues, taking time to commercialize and not reaching the conventional electrical conversion efficiency. Against the background of such technical challenges, various portable small-sized charging devices with solar power generation functions have been put on the market, but the panel area has become narrow due to portability and downsizing. Therefore, it takes a long time to charge with sunlight, or the solar power generation function cannot be sufficiently exhibited, and in order to enhance the solar power generation function, it is necessary to increase the panel area.

In addition, in recent decades, environmental awareness has been increasing globally. However, since the Great East Japan Earthquake, there has been a change in public awareness, such as thinking about nuclear power generation and power saving. The use of electric power from renewable energy is an urgent issue.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described drawbacks and problems.

A solar power generation device (2) is provided in the fan section (1) of the fan, and electricity obtained from a power source other than the solar power generation device (2) or the solar power generation device (2) is stored in the handle (3). A storage battery (4) is provided.

An input connection (5) for storing electricity obtained from other power sources other than the solar power generation device (2) in the storage battery (4) is provided.

An output connection (6) for charging various devices to be charged is provided.

A display unit (7) is provided for understanding the charging status of various charging target devices and the storage status of the storage battery (4).

The light emission part (8) which uses the storage battery (4) of this invention as a power supply is provided.

A function for connecting various devices to be charged and starting charging and a switch (9) for lighting the light emitting unit (8) are provided.

This invention is a fan with a solar power generation function which consists of the above structure.

The present invention has a utility as an emergency power source that is excellent in portability as well as a function of generating a conventional wind when a disaster occurs.

Furthermore, since electricity can be stored in the power storage device of the present invention, it is convenient as a supplementary power source that is excellent in portability regardless of the season, such as outdoors in outdoor festivals and outdoors.

Regardless of whether or not the wind generating function is used, the power generation function is sustained if there is light that functions as solar power generation. For this reason, solar power generation that effectively uses a wide fan area is a useful tool even when the function of generating wind is not used.

In addition, the secondary function of the fan part was widely used in consideration of the use of messages as an advertising medium in pursuit of design from the drawing of illustrations, writing of sentences, and ingenuity of forms. However, the function of solar power generation itself includes messages such as environmental protection, enlightenment on power saving, and promotion of use of natural energy and renewable energy.

In addition, although there is a balance with the power generation capacity, it is possible to put in pictures and letters and devise the shape as before, so it can be expected to be more effective as a promotional item or advertisement than before.

Furthermore, research into downsizing and thinning of solar cells is progressing steadily, and trial and error continues due to technical issues. In such a situation, general-purpose products that have achieved a certain level of commercialization, although they are a combination of existing technologies. The fusion of highly innovative technology and traditional products can compensate for the shortcomings of conventional products, improve added value, and promote wider use of clean and economical renewable energy. .

It is a perspective view of the present invention. It is the perspective view of this invention which expand | deployed the photovoltaic power generation panel by the Example which mounted the photovoltaic power generation panel in the fan part both surfaces. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the present invention in a state in which FIG. 2 is viewed from the other side, the photovoltaic power generation panel is closed, and the cover of the handle storage battery housing is opened. It is a perspective view of the present invention by the example which considered design nature. It is the perspective view of this invention seen from the other side with the photovoltaic power generation panel of the fan of FIG.

Hereinafter, modes for carrying out the present invention will be described.
