Abstract

A transportation device adapted with a solar photo module includes a main frame, at least two side frames disposed on both sides of the main frame; a locating gap to accommodate the solar photo module is disposed to each side frame; and the solar photo module absorbs solar energy to convert it into electric power serving auxiliary power for consumption by the transportation device.

Claims

1. A transportation device adapted with a solar photo module including a main frame, one or a plurality of side frame mounted to the main frame and having one or a plurality of locating gaps;

and one or a plurality solar photo module disposed to the side frame by means of the locating gap and secured to the transportation device.

2. The transportation device adapted with a solar photo module as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least two side frames are disposed to the main frame, and each the locating gap is provided on the side of the side frame in the direction facing the other locating gap provided on the other side frame.

3. The transportation device adapted with a solar photo module as claimed in claim 2, wherein a press portion is disposed to the side frame at where in relation to the top over the locating gap and made an integral part of the side frame.

4. The transportation device adapted with a solar photo module as claimed in claim 2, wherein the locating gap accommodate the solar photo module, and a pressure strip is disposed to the solar photo module near to the locating gap.

5. The transportation device adapted with a solar photo module as claimed in claim 4, wherein both of the side frame and the pressure strip are secured to each other by means of a locating member.

6. The transportation device adapted with a solar photo module as claimed in claim 5, wherein the locating member is a screw.

7. The transportation device adapted with a solar photo module as claimed in claim 4, wherein two strips in parallel with each other are disposed between and connecting both side frames, and each strip extends from the bottom of a locating gap to that of the other locating gap.

8. The transportation device adapted with a solar photo module as claimed in claim 4, wherein a pad buffer is filled at where between the locating gap and the solar photo module.

9. The transportation device adapted with a solar photo module as claimed in claim 1, wherein the side frame is made an integral part of or separately assembled to the main frame.

10. The transportation device adapted with a solar photo module as claimed in claim 1, wherein the transportation device is related to an automobile, and the main frame is a roof deck of the automobile.

11. The transportation device adapted with a solar photo module as claimed in claim 1, wherein a direction indicator is disposed to the main frame.

12. The transportation device adapted with a solar photo module as claimed in claim 1, wherein a controller is further connected to the solar photo module.

13. The transportation device adapted with a solar photo module as claimed in claim 1, wherein an ID chip is further provided to the solar photo module.

14. The transportation device adapted with a solar photo module as claimed in claim 1, wherein a wing is disposed to the side frame;

the wing is located on an outer side of the solar photo module or each to both outer sides of the solar photo module.

15. The transportation device adapted with a solar photo module as claimed in claim 1, wherein an AD billboard is disposed at where the wing is provided, the AD billboard is comprised of multiple light emitting diodes;

and the solar photo module supplies power to each light emitting diode.
