JPS6139585A - Solar cell support base - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To decrease the number of components to be used while facilitating the standardization thereof and to enable various loads to be arranged freely, by providing a support base whose body serves also as a housing box. CONSTITUTION:A solar cell support base 1 has on its upper face a solar cell panel 11, the surface of which is inclined so as to be faced to the sun. A protective glass plate 12 is superposed on the surface of the solar cell panel 11 and held peripherally, togethwer with the panel, by a support frame 13 of Al or the like. The support base body 14, serving also as a housing box in which a secondary battery, a control circuit and the like are contained, consists of a box body made of Al or the likd and has a closable cover on the upper face thereof. This support base body 14 is disposed on the rear side of the solar cell panel 11 and fixed to the support frame 13 by means of an angle member 15, such that the upper face of the support base body 14 is covered with the solar cell panel 11. Since the support base also serves as a housing box, no additional box is required in the intermediate portion of a pole. Thus, not only the designing flexibility can be improved, but also electrical parts and principal components can be standardized.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a solar cell mount, and is particularly suitable for small solar cell applied devices such as various electric signs such as those used to indicate wide-area evacuation areas, and outdoor clocks. Regarding solar cell mounts.

[Prior art]

Conventionally, in my solar cell application device, a solar cell mount is mounted on the top of a support ball, etc. as a support structure erected on the ground, etc., and a solar cell panel is arranged on the top surface.
In the middle of L and the ball, a storage box containing loads such as LED lights and a clock, a control circuit that controls the operation of these loads according to a time schedule, and a secondary battery, etc. is installed. There is. In this case, the types of loads are extremely diverse, even if you just look at the signs.
Since each type has its own unique shape and operating mode, it is difficult to standardize the overall structure, and detailed designs are required for each product or property.

[Purpose of the invention]

This invention was made in view of the problems of the prior art described above, and it standardizes electrical parts and main structures except for loads, shortens the wiring between the solar panel and the inside of the storage box, and makes various improvements. The object of the present invention is to provide a solar cell mount that can be commonly used for various loads, has a high degree of design freedom, and can also reduce the number of parts.

[Summary of the invention]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the solar cell mount of the present invention includes a solar cell panel, a support frame surrounding the solar cell panel, and a back side of the solar cell panel fixed to the support frame, the upper surface of which is attached to the solar cell. The mount body is provided with a mount body that is covered with a panel and also serves as a storage box, and the mount main body is supported by a support structure. In a battery-based device, if this frame is attached to the upper end of the support pole as a support structure, the entire lower part of the pole can be used as a dedicated attachment part for the load, and the frame also serves as a storage box, so there is no unnecessary This eliminates the need to attach a box to the middle of the pole, greatly improving design freedom, and dramatically shortening the wiring to the solar panel, thus standardizing electrical components and main structural parts except for loads. This made it possible to provide a common solar cell mount for various loads.

The present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

The drawing shows a solar cell applied sign device according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which an electric light indicator 2 as a load is attached to an erected support ball 3, and a solar cell mount 1 according to the present invention is attached to the tip of the pole. installed.

The solar cell mount 1 has a solar cell panel 11 on its upper surface, and is tilted so that the panel surface faces the direction of the sun. A protective glass plate 12 is superimposed on the surface of the solar cell panel 11, and both are surrounded and held by a support frame 13 made of aluminum or the like. The gantry main body 14 is made of aluminum or the like and serves as a storage box for storing a secondary battery, a control circuit, etc. therein, and the top surface can be opened and closed with a lid. This frame main body 14 is arranged on the back side of the solar cell panel 11, and an angle member 15
It is fixed to the support frame 13, and in this attached state, the upper surface of the gantry main body 14 is covered by the solar cell panel 11. Support frame 11 and mount body 14
The fixation may be made removable with screws or ring screws, etc., and this allows the surface of the main frame structure 4 to be exposed for replacing the internal secondary battery and maintenance and adjustment of the control circuit. Just do it like this.

A joint 16 for the upper end of the pole 3 is attached to the lower surface of the gantry main body 14, and in the illustrated example, the joint 16 is welded to the lower surface of the gantry main body 14.

In such a configuration, the secondary battery, control circuit, etc. are housed in the frame body 14, so there is no need to attach an extra storage box other than the load to the pole 3, and the solar battery for the secondary battery and control circuit is not required. The wiring from the panel 11 is short, there is no need for any extra wiring inside the pole other than wiring through the pole 3 to the load 2, and the overall wiring can be made more uniform.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As mentioned above, according to this invention, the main body of the mount also serves as a storage box, which reduces the number of parts used, and allows the main electrical parts to be integrated, which facilitates standardization and reduces the hassle of wiring during field work. It also allows the wiring from the solar panel to be short and pre-wired so that it can be installed at the top of the support structure. There is no need for installation equipment other than the load in the lower part of the base, and it is therefore possible to freely arrange various loads.
