About Solar Mars Bot 儲能機械人

Solar Mars Bot係一部可移動嘅儲能機械人，將太陽能發電、電池儲能同充電三大功能集於一身。頂部六塊光伏板由連桿馬達驅動，配合光線追蹤感應器，搵到最佳角度朝向太陽。儲能模組採用磷酸鐵鋰電芯，循環壽命長。激光雷達同鏡頭模組令機械人喺戶外都可以避開障礙物，同埋為用戶規劃路線。當儲存電量偏低時，機械人會自動開始充電。

Unique Properties: Solar Mars Bot is intelligent and automatic. Its top photovoltaic panel has an automatic light tracking system, which can maximize power generation without manual intervention on sunny days, automatically detect its power at night, and plan its path to charge if necessary. The robot is equipped with 4G modules and various ports, which can move through the App's tracking and location, realizing the concept of integration of pv, ess, and charging system.
Dimensions & Packaging: Length and width:1140 mm,815mm,thickness:810mm.
Weight:70kg.Power:3000W,Capacity:5000WH,Solar panel power:600W.pv ess stores 5 kilowatt hour of electricity per day
Tags: pv, ess and charging Integrated System, Robot, Vehicle, light tracking technology, clean energy
Production Technology: The energy storage module adopts a high rate lithium iron phosphate battery core with longer cycle life,higher safety and environmental protection,which prolongs the products' service life.The solar panel adopts the etfe lamination process so that the eva layer is densely covered with a honeycomb structure with a light trapping effect,which can effectively reduce light reflection and improve power generation efficiency.
Design Challenge: Challenge:Further maximize the light charging efficiency under the integrated design of pv ess.Mode:Put more solar panels by folding,and push the built-in connecting rod motors around to increase the light receiving area of photovoltaic panels as much as possible.Using the light-tracking sensor to detect the illumination angle,the steering angle of the wheel and the mechanical arm are automatically calculated and turned in two dimensions,thus achieving higher light charging efficiency.
Research: Objective:Intelligent service robot with pv,ess and charging Integrated System.Direction:intelligent sensor module,movable chassis,light tracking system.Market research:online research and data from professional research companies.Social impact:Realizing the integration and automation of pv ess,further reducing energy waste,and accelerating green smart homes.It is a breakthrough in exploring the efficient use of renewable clean energy.
Inspiration: At present,the efficiency of photovoltaic power generation is influenced by many factors,such as sunny time and incident angle of light.To overcome this problem,Jackery integrated photovoltaic and energy storage into a service robot, which made Solar Mars Bot super adaptable to changes in the external environment,effectively improving photoelectric conversion efficiency and providing users with a more intelligent and efficient electricity experience.
Project Duration: The project started in Shenzhen in November 2022 and was completed in Shenzhen in February 2023,with a patent application for the appearance completed in February 2023.
Operation Flow: The top has six photovoltaic panels,which are pushed around by connecting rod motors,and then locate the best sunlight irradiation angle using the light-tracking sensor.The mechanical arm cooperates with the wheels to realize position tracking and fast power storage.When users need electricity,the laser radar and camera module can obtain more accurate and complete environmental information,easily complete outdoor obstacle avoidance and independently plan the route to the destination.
