Portable facility provided with natural energy power generation unit
A portable facility including: a power generation unit and a function unit, wherein the power generation unit includes a transportable first housing, at least one power generation device attached to the first housing which includes a top wall, a bottom wall, and a surrounding wall, the at least one power generation device being one or more of a wind power generation device, a solar power generation device, and a hydraulic power generation device, and the function unit includes a transportable second housing and an electric apparatus disposed inside the second housing and configured to be powered by the power generation unit to operate, the second housing including a top wall, a bottom wall, and a surrounding wall.
1. A portable facility comprising:
a power generation unit including a first housing that is transportable and at least one power generation device attached to the first housing, the first housing including a top wall, a bottom wall, and a surrounding wall, the at least one power generation device being one or more of a wind power generation device, a solar power generation device, and a hydraulic power generation device, and
a function unit including a second housing that is transportable and an electric apparatus disposed inside the second housing and configured to be powered by the power generation unit to operate, the second housing including a top wall, a bottom wall, and a surrounding wall,
wherein the first housing and the second housing are freight containers,
wherein the power generation unit includes the solar power generation device,
the solar power generation device is capable of being housed in the first housing, which is a freight container among the freight containers, and includes a solar panel configured to be placed on an upper side of the top wall of the first housing to perform solar power generation,
a roller is attached to the solar panel,
an external rail is provided on the upper side of the top wall of the first housing,
an internal rail is provided inside the first housing and is supported by the top wall,
a connecting rail member configured to connect the external rail and the internal rail with a door of the first housing opened is provided in a connection-releasable manner, so that the solar panel is allowed to be moved with the roller to be guided along the internal rail, the connecting rail member, and the external rail,
wherein the solar panel includes a plurality of rollers attached to opposing two sides of the solar panel, the plurality of rollers being rotatable about an axis perpendicular to the two sides,
each of the internal rail, the external rail, and the connecting rail member having a groove-shaped cross section so as to define a rail groove therein, and
in the solar panel, at least one roller of the plurality of rollers is guided into the rail groove of at least one of the internal rail, the external rail, and the connecting rail member, while at least one other roller of the plurality of rollers is guided on an outer surface of at least one of the internal rail, the external rail, and the connecting rail member,
wherein each of the internal rail, the external rail, and the connecting rail member includes a web and flanges extending in a bending manner from opposite edge portions of the web so as to define the rail groove,
the first housing includes a pair of internal rails, a pair of external rails, and a pair of connecting rail members, each pair being arranged such that opened surfaces of rail grooves of that pair face each other,
the rail grooves of each pair are configured to guide the plurality of rollers attached in pairs to the two sides of the solar panel,
each of the connecting rail members includes an upper rail part having a rail groove to be connected to a rail groove of a corresponding external rail, a lower rail part having a rail groove to be connected to a rail groove of a corresponding internal rail, and a middle rail part having a rail groove connected to tip end portions of the rail groove of the upper rail part and the rail groove of the lower rail part,
of the plurality of rollers, rollers located at frontward positions in a movement direction are guided into the rail grooves of the connecting rail members, and
each of the connecting rail members has a cutout formed in one of the flanges of the middle rail part of that connecting rail member which is located outside, the cutout being configured to allow one of the rollers located at the frontward positions in the movement direction to exit the rail groove of that connecting rail member, so that a posture of the solar panel can be changed.
2. The portable facility as claimed in claim 1 , wherein of the plurality of rollers, rollers located at rearward positions in the movement direction are guided on outer surfaces of webs of the connecting rail members, and
each of the connecting rail members has a cutout formed in one of the flanges of the middle rail part of that connecting rail member which is located outside, the cutout being configured to allow one of the rollers located at the rearward positions in the movement direction to be inserted into the rail groove of that connecting rail member.
