1. Integration process of traditional rigid solar panels
The integration of traditional rigid solar panels on electric scooters is a project that requires extremely high precision. The common practice is to embed solar panels on the surface of the vehicle body, which requires first using a precision mold to create a shape that matches the contour of the vehicle body. The precision of the mold directly affects the degree of fit between the solar panel and the vehicle body. A slight deviation may cause the solar panel to be unable to be tightly installed, affecting the overall appearance and performance.
When making the mold, engineers will use advanced computer-aided design technology to perform three-dimensional modeling based on the design drawings of the vehicle body to ensure that the mold can accurately replicate the shape and size of the vehicle body. During the mold processing process, high-precision CNC machine tools are used to control the error within a very small range through precision cutting, grinding and other processes.
After the mold is manufactured, the bonding process begins. In order to make the solar panel tightly combined with the vehicle body, a special adhesive is used. This adhesive must not only have strong viscosity to ensure that the solar panel will not loosen during driving, but also have good weather resistance and be able to adapt to different environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity to prevent the solar panel from falling off due to aging of the adhesive. When applying the adhesive, it is necessary to strictly control the amount and uniformity of application. Too much may cause the adhesive to overflow and affect the appearance; too little will not ensure the stability of the solar panel.
In the process of installing the solar panel on the body of the Solar Charge Elektirikli Mobility Scooters, it is crucial to accurately control the gap between the solar panel and the body. The appropriate gap can ensure waterproof and dustproof performance, preventing rain, dust, etc. from entering the interior of the scooter and damaging the electrical components. To achieve this goal, high-precision measuring tools and positioning devices are used. Before installation, the body surface and solar panel are cleaned to remove impurities and oil stains to ensure the flatness of the installation surface. Then, the solar panel is accurately placed in the predetermined position through the positioning device and fixed with a professional clamp. During the fixing process, the position and angle of the solar panel are constantly adjusted to ensure uniform gaps.
The installation angle is also an important factor affecting the collection efficiency of the solar panel. In order to ensure that the solar panels can receive sunlight to the maximum extent, the installation angle needs to be optimized according to factors such as latitude and seasonal changes in different regions. In the actual installation process, professional angle measuring instruments will be used to accurately adjust the tilt angle of the solar panel. At the same time, considering the bumps and vibrations of the scooter during driving, the installation structure of the solar panel needs to have certain buffering and shock absorption functions to prevent the solar panel from loosening or being damaged due to vibration, affecting the power generation efficiency.
2. Integration process of flexible solar panels
Compared with traditional rigid solar panels, the integration of flexible solar panels on electric scooters pays more attention to the flatness and flexibility of the fit. Flexible solar panels are based on thin and flexible materials, which can be bent and folded, and can better adapt to the irregular surface of the car body, but also put forward higher requirements for the integration process.
It is necessary to customize the design of flexible solar panels according to the shape of the car body. By performing three-dimensional scanning on the surface of the car body, accurate surface data is obtained, and then the shape of the solar panel is optimized and designed using computer software so that it can fit the car body perfectly. During the customization process, not only the overall outline of the car body should be considered, but also the details of the car body, such as handles, wheel brackets, etc., to ensure that the solar panel can seamlessly cover the surface of the car body and increase the solar energy collection area.
After the customized design is completed, the bonding process stage is entered. Flexible solar panels are usually fixed with special glue or pasting process. This glue needs to have good flexibility and viscosity, and can form a strong connection between the flexible solar panel and the surface of the car body without affecting the bending performance of the solar panel. During the pasting process, professional film pasting equipment is required to evenly and flatly attach the flexible solar panel to the surface of the car body. In order to avoid problems such as bubbles and wrinkles, the film pasting process needs to be carried out in a dust-free environment and step by step according to strict operating procedures. First clean the surface of the car body, then evenly apply glue on the back of the solar panel, and then slowly fit the solar panel to the surface of the car body, and use a special scraper to scrape and press from the middle to the surroundings to expel air to ensure a tight fit.
During the driving process of the vehicle, the car body will vibrate and deform, which requires the flexible solar panel to maintain a good working condition after installation as the car body changes. To achieve this goal, special buffer materials and fixing methods are used during the integration process. A layer of elastic buffer pads, such as silicone pads or rubber pads, is added between the solar panel and the vehicle body. These buffer pads can absorb vibration energy and reduce the impact of vibration on the solar panel. At the same time, a multi-point fixing method is used to firmly fix the solar panel on the surface of the vehicle body to prevent the solar panel from shifting or falling off due to vibration.
3. Electrical connection and circuit packaging process
Whether it is a traditional rigid solar panel or a flexible solar panel, the connection with the vehicle electrical system is an important part of the integration process. The electricity generated by the solar panel needs to be transmitted to components such as batteries and controllers through wires to provide power for the vehicle. This requires that the wire connection is stable and can withstand factors such as vibration and friction during the vehicle's driving process to avoid line damage or poor contact.
During the wiring process, a reasonable line direction will be designed according to the structure of the vehicle and the layout of the electrical system. In order to prevent the wires from being worn, protective sleeves will be used to wrap the wires. The protective sleeves are usually made of wear-resistant, high-temperature resistant, and insulating materials with good properties, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or nylon. After the wires are inserted into the protective sleeve, they are fixed according to the predetermined line direction. The fixing method can be cable tie binding or buckle fixing to ensure that the wires will not shake or shift during the vehicle driving.
For the connection points of the wires, special connection processes will be used for processing. Common connection methods are welding and terminal connection. Welding can achieve a firm connection between wires and ensure the stable transmission of current, but it has high requirements for welding technology and needs to ensure that the welding points are firm and without cold welding. Terminal connection connects the wires together through a dedicated terminal connector. This connection method is easy to operate and convenient for later maintenance and repair, but it is necessary to select a terminal connector with reliable quality to ensure the stability of the connection.
After completing the wiring and connection, the line needs to be encapsulated. The purpose of encapsulation is to further protect the line, prevent moisture, dust, etc. from entering, and improve the safety and reliability of the electrical system. The encapsulation material usually uses a sealant or insulating tape with good waterproof and dustproof performance. During the encapsulation process, the line connection points are first sealed, and the connection points are tightly wrapped with sealant to ensure that there are no gaps. Then, wrap the entire line and use insulating tape to wrap the protective sleeve and wires together to form a complete protective layer. During the packaging process, pay attention to the winding direction and strength of the tape to ensure that the packaging is tight and uniform and does not affect the normal use of the wires.
The integration process of solar panels and electric scooters is a complex process that combines precision manufacturing, innovative design and advanced technology. From the inlay and bonding of rigid solar panels to the customized installation of flexible solar panels, to electrical connections and line packaging, every link is crucial. Only through exquisite craftsmanship can the perfect integration of solar panels and car bodies be achieved, so that solar-charged electric scooters can efficiently collect solar energy while having excellent performance and beautiful appearance, bringing users a more environmentally friendly and convenient travel experience. With the continuous advancement of technology, the solar panel integration process will continue to innovate and optimize in the future, pushing the solar-charged electric scooter industry to new heights.
