DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0032] The models described below in relation to the attached figures are referential and are intended to explain this publication but should not be interpreted as a limitation of this publication.

[0033] The following publication provides examples of Ingesum spaTransportable Solar Lighting Units.

[0034] In FIG. 1 it is observed that the Transportable Solar Unit for Lighting is composed as an entire main body (1), therefore, we can see on its widest side the side door (2) which can be mobile or removable; In the mobile case it can be opened and closed from bottom to top in a pivoting manner; However, the Transportable Solar Lighting Unit of this publication facilitates the review and/or maintenance of parts, assemblies, devices. The ease of opening the side door (2) improves maintenance efficiency and can prevent dust, water and others. In addition, you can see the location of the legs or jacks that allow firmness to the transportable solar unit for lighting (FIGS. 1 and 5).

[0035] It should be noted that the manufacturing design of the main body structure (1) is not limited, for this reason, its main variation depends on the dimensions of the solar panels existing on the market, that is, its characteristic shape is maintained. The only thing that changes are its dimensions, both length, width and height and of course varying the angle of inclination of the solar panels, which should not exceed 90 degrees.

[0036] In FIGS. 2 and 3; The Transportable Solar Lighting Unit includes a mast device (3) whose height can be adjusted through a winch (25) to the user's needs, in this case it can be variable up to approximately seven meters. It should be noted that the winch (25) has an automatic brake system which, for safety reasons, the user can raise or lower the mast device (3) without compromising effort or concern that it may descend alone due to its own weight. Because the winch (25) is manually maneuvered during operation, it is protected by a metal box, which can prevent possible accidents for the user in the future.

[0037] In FIGS. 2 and 5; The lighting device (4) is made up of a set of lighting spotlights, each one is located adjusted on bolts in a support exclusively adapted to keep them fixed in place, this can vary in quantity between two to eight or as required by the user, in this way its consumption and lumens vary; but its operating principle does not change. The lighting device (4) is located at the top of the mast device (3), its function is to raise it to the desired height and illuminate the required area at the user's convenience; The lighting device (4) has a pivot type system (26) for safe transportation and remains in a locked position and downwards for either long or short transportation.

[0038] In FIGS. 3 and 6; The Transportable Solar Unit for lighting has a towing system (5) and can be fixed to the chassis of the main body (1) of FIG. 1, or removable for easy transportation purposes; Its attachment system (15) to the vehicle depends on the type of connector, whether ball type or ring type; it can also be fixed or removable with the attachment system (5); The hooking system (5) is a device that works as a coupling hand to hook and unhook the vehicle connector. It should be noted that when the drag system (5) is mobile, so is the hitch system (15), therefore, when the drag system (5) is fixed, so is the hitch system (15). It should be considered that the towing system (5) and the hooking system (15) together make up the towing lance of the transportable solar unit for lighting.

[0039] It should be noted that the Transportable Solar Unit for lighting also includes in the manufacturing design in the lower part of its chassis of the main body (1) of FIG. 1, a set of supports (27) to position the nails of the forklift, in this way it can be raised safely and easily moved from one place to another without the need to be hitched to the vehicle as seen in FIG. 3. Additionally in FIG. 5, we can see as an example the position of the solar modules (8) and the location where the fire extinguisher (22) could be positioned.

[0040] It should be noted, the advantage of the support set (27) is that it facilitates the maneuver to move the Transportable Solar Units for Lighting and to be stored in twenty- and forty-foot containers; Three photovoltaic solar towers are stored in a twenty-foot container (16). They are secured to each other through a system similar to a frange that is bolted to the lifting ears (19) of each Transportable Solar Unit for Lighting; According to the above, the same applies for a forty-foot container (17) (for example, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12).

[0041] The Transportable Solar Units for Lighting are composed of: an electrical panel (6) and a battery bank (7), as an example shown in FIG. 4; The main task of the electrical panel (6) with its controller is to receive electrical energy from the solar modules (8) and adequately supply the energy to the battery bank (7), therefore, the battery bank (7) must supply the energy that the lighting device (4) needs to consume. It should be noted in FIG. 13, the system of light switches (21) can be seen, it turns on and off two groups of lighting spotlights, being two in two, three in three or four in four, in the case that they were four, six, eight lights or according to the quantity required by the user; In the case of two spotlights, a single light switch would suffice; Therefore, in some models of transportable solar units, they may include in the same area of the switches (21) a group of connectors or plugs for fast charging of electronic devices such as cell phones, notebooks, among others. In summary, the electrical panel (6), the battery bank (7) and through the switch system (21) can provide reliable electrical power to the lighting device (4) correctly.

[0042] The Transportable Solar Units for Lighting, the lighting device (1), the mast device (3) and the set of wheels (18) in FIG. 9 we can see as an example the shape and position where they are stored, being as a whole the mast device (3) and the lighting device (1), the same before being uninstalled. Both must be disconnected from the quick connector system (23) to the drag system (10), facilitating the operation in a quick and safe manner. Near the side door (2) the set of wheels (18) is stored for transportation, thus making better use of space and operating comfort.

[0043] It should be noted that before subjecting the transportable Solar Lighting Unit to transfer or transport, the towing system (10) must be unhooked and stored in the lower part of the main body chassis (1), as indicated below. example in FIG. 7; Likewise, we can see a pallet-type metal base (20), its function is to reduce its height and facilitate its safer transportation by container or truck platform.

[0044] In FIG. 6, as an example we can see where the group of wedges (24) is stored, it is secured by means of a cable to prevent its loss and of course providing security during its transfer; You can also see the place where the support group or stabilizing legs (9) secured to the wall are stored, thus guaranteeing safe transportation; The stabilizing supports or legs (9) fulfill the function of maintaining its height in a static or parking position when the transportable solar lighting unit is not hooked to the vehicle.

[0045] In FIG. 8, as an example we can see the location of the lifting ears (11); In this way, the Solar Lighting Units have another alternative for transport or movement on site through a crane, being more useful if they are on very uneven terrain or even being positioned on a structure or terrain that is difficult to access by vehicle.

[0046] The lighting device (4) has a very favorable advantage for the user, since, for the ease of illuminating another area, for example, the back, it has a rotating system (14) capable of Gently rotate the degrees required from 0 to 360 degrees. As we can see as an example in FIG. 10.

[0047] In FIG. 14, we can see as an example a general view of the Solar and Lighting Unit, hooked to a vehicle.

[0048] In some models of Solar Lighting Units, they may include a real-time remote monitoring system, using the GSM network as a communication service. Its purpose is to observe and review its operating values. Additionally, they can include a geolocation system, being a great advantage to be able to know the location of the Solar Lighting Unit.
