[0001] Self-assembly solar cell module [0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a solar cell module, and more particularly, to an assembled solar cell module capable of easily and easily assembling and disassembling a solar cell module array having an area capable of producing a required amount of electric power, .

Recently, researches on eco-friendly, renewable, fusion, and hybrid energy systems to replace fossil fuels are actively under way. However, in order to supply the commercial power generated by the large-scale power generation facilities to the remote areas such as the island and the mountains, there is still a problem that the commercial power generated by the solar, wind, and tidal power is not supplied or difficult to use do.

In addition, with the increase in portable electronic devices such as smart phones, tablet PCs, MP3 players, notebook PCs, and digital cameras, the use of batteries has exploded. In addition, with the increase in external activities, there is an increasing need to charge the battery in the field where there is no facility to supply commercial power, and to produce electric power for driving portable electronic devices.

Accordingly, various types of portable solar-powered power supply devices have been proposed in which batteries can be charged using solar light in a place where commercial power can not be supplied and can be used as power sources for various devices used outside.

For example, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0583745 (filed on Jun. 6, 2006) entitled " Method and apparatus for charging using a portable multi-power solar cell " The present invention proposes a charging method and apparatus using a portable multi-power solar cell capable of customized production in various forms in accordance with the requirements of the present invention.

The "folding type portable charging device" which is registered in the registered patent publication No. 10-1019911 (Registered on Feb. 28, 2011) is a flexible film which is connected by a flexible wire so that a plurality of solar cells which generate electricity by receiving sunlight can be folded and folded And a connector for connecting the converter and the electronic product so that the converted current and voltage from the converter can be supplied to the electronic product, Technology.

On the other hand, the "Portable solar photovoltaic power supply device" of Registration No. 10-1326234 (registered on October 31, 2013) is designed to have a relatively large light collecting area through the light collecting plate installed on the cover and the auxiliary light collecting plate provided on the auxiliary cover The cover and the auxiliary cover are coupled to each other by side hinges. The auxiliary cover is installed on both sides of the cover to unfold the cover from the main body, and then to spread the cover in both directions.

The above-described conventional techniques allow the battery to be charged through sunlight when it is difficult to use a commercial power source, thereby increasing the use of portable electronic devices in the open air. The conventional solar cell module according to the related art shows a connecting structure member such as a hinge or a hinge, or a plurality of solar cell modules connected by a flexible wire in order to produce a required electric power.

However, the hinge, the hinge, or the flexible wire applied to the conventional technology is useful for supplying a low-voltage power source limited to a cellular phone or a portable device in its use range. Due to the nature of the expansion structure, sufficient power There is a limit to connecting a plurality of solar cell modules to such a degree that it can produce solar cells.

On the other hand, the " connection structure of the unrolled movable solar battery panel ", which is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-2014-0044344 (published on Apr. 14, 2014 The solar cell panel has a connection structure of a solar cell panel which can be folded and deployed not only in the horizontal direction but also in the vertical direction, but firmly fixed.

As shown in Figs. 1A to 1C, the prior art includes a fixing plate 1 and a fixing plate 2, which are fixed to both sides of a connecting plate 2 having a long rectangular plate shape for connecting and fixing the side surfaces of rectangular plate- (21) and connected and fixed to adjacent solar battery panels (1, 1 ') by bolts (3) and nuts (4) A horizontal guide hole 11 extending horizontally to the front and rear ends so as to be coupled with the bolt 3 and the nut 4 together with the fixing hole 21, And a pair of vertical guide holes 12 that are vertically cut away from the forward and rearward ends are formed.

However, as shown in FIG. 1C, when the solar cell panels 1 and 1 'are folded, the connecting plate 2 is diagonally positioned diagonally and the upper and lower solar cell panels 1 and 1' When the solar cell panels 1 and 1 'are arranged at a distance of 0 to less than 1 millimeter in the forward and backward directions, the spacing between mutually opposite ends of the adjacent horizontal guide holes 11 is set such that the distance The distance between the fixing holes 21 of the connecting plate 2 is smaller than the distance between the fixing holes 21 of the solar cell panel 2 and the distance between adjacent holes formed in the horizontal guide holes 11 of the different solar cell panels 1 The distance between the pair of vertical guide holes 12 formed in one horizontal guide hole 11 is equal to the distance between the vertical holes 12 and the distance between the fixing holes 21 of the connecting plate 2 The manufacturing process is complicated and the expansion of the solar cell panel There is a problem that the assembly is inconvenient.
