Description
The present invention relates to a roof for electric vehicles for passenger transport known from, inter alia, electric carriers. a, golf courses but which are also used in many other contexts for transport of persons and goods. These vehicles are usually equipped with a roof that is exclusively used to protect against sunlight and rain and has been made mainly of plastic.
The previous solution has various drawbacks, partly it does not contribute to the energy supply of the vehicle and partly it provides very little protection against the dangers of lightning strike which kills many people on golf courses worldwide every year. Other shortcomings of existing golf roofs are the lack of effective diversion of rainwater as well as the lack of possibility of fixing curtains for protection from sun, wind and rain.
The invention is peculiar in that the proposed roof is composed of extruded profiles, preferably of metal, for example aluminum containing ledges for the installation of solar cells as well as interior ceiling as well as integrated roofing and sliding rail for curtain and a special universal rail system which allows the roof to be mounted on vehicles of various makes with different distances between the pillars that usually support a roof of this type of vehicle, the design of the profiles, the interconnection of these as well as a possibly roofed metal grid together with the solar panels also provide more effective protection against the harmful effects of lightning strikes than the known ones types of roof. Finally, the invention is peculiar by using a special electronic control box that allows the solar panels to be connected in parallel, which reduces the harmful effects of shading on the panels and optimally converts the energy to several different and higher battery voltages.
The roof may further include hinges that can be attached to the upwardly extending roof carriers supporting the roof at one end of the vehicle as well as height adjustment arrangements at the opposite end, which allows the roof as a whole to be adjusted to more perpendicular solar incidence on the solar panels, thus maximizing their delivered power. All roof carriers can further be provided with devices that allow the roof to be adjusted for perpendicular sunlight, manually or automatically.

Referring to the drawings, the invention is explained as follows:
Figure 1 is a perspective view from above. 1 is an extruded frame of e.g. aluminum .2 are extruded cross sections screwed to the frame 1 supporting the solar panels 3,
Figure 2 shows the roof from below. In addition to the frame 1 and the cross sections 2 with the solar panels 3, longitudinal mounting rails 4 and control box 5 are shown.
Figure 3 shows the roof seen from the side with the frame 1 and the control box 5.
Figure 4 shows the roof from the end with the frame 1 and the control box 5.
Figure 5 shows the profile of the frame 1 with the gutter 6 serving to collect rainwater and the channel 7 serving as a slide rail for hanging curtains to protect the driver and passengers from rain and wind.
Figure 6 is a perspective view of frame 1 with holes 12 for positioning screws for clamping with the cross sections 2.
Figure 7 shows the transverse profile 2 with ledge for solar panel 8, threaded holes 9 for clamping to the frame 1 and channel for clamping to the mounting rail shown in figure 11 with board bolts.
Figure 8 shows the cross-sectional profile 2 in perspective.
Figure 9 shows the mounting rail 11 in cross-section with the duct 12 intended for mounting on the upwardly extending roof supports with board bolts.
Figure 10 is a perspective view of the mounting rail 11.
The roof is modularly constructed so that the frame 1 can longitudinally consist of a number of side pieces corresponding to a number of solar panels for attachment to different sizes of vehicles. By means of board bolts fixed with the head in the groove 10 in Figure 7, the longitudinal rails 4 can be displaced individually transversely. By means of board bolts arranged with the head of the groove in Figure 11, the roof can be attached and displaced individually on the upwardly extending roof supports of the vehicle. It will be appreciated that the mounting of the roof can be adapted to different vehicles with varying distances in the upwardly extending roof carriers, both longitudinally and transversely.
The roof is multifunctional, partly by serving as protection against the weather and wind, partly by serving as a carrier for solar panels, partly by diverting rainwater via the Note 6 Figure 5 and possibly further via hoses down through the upwardly extending roof carriers, and partly by serving as Carrier for curtains using sliders in Note 7 Figure 7 and finally by providing better protection against the deleterious effects of lightning strike because the used solar panels along with deaf metal made mounting profiles and rails and the upstanding roof carriers appear as a Faraday cage. As a further lightning protection, a metaigaster can be mounted under the roof (not shown) and can be electrically connected to the rest of the roof profiles.
Figure 31 shows 4 solar panels 13 in number being from one to many in electrical parallel, usually with the voltage 12 volts but other voltages imaginable, connected to the control box 5 which converts the electrical power to the battery 15 according to the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) principle . The battery is usually 48 volts but other voltages are possible. The control box 5 may be provided with an indicator showing the instantaneous output of the solar cells as well as various power outlets for cigar lighters and USB.
