[001] The present disclosure generally relates to the field of systems and methods for solar powered mobile jackets . More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a system and method to encounter the charging issues while exploring offbeat places by using solar powered mobile jackets. The present invention relates to solar charge system inbuilt in the mobile jacket without the requirement of separate equipment while travelling in a remote place or trekking to high hill zone. More particularly, the main objective of solar powered mobile jacket is a panel which is integrated in a mobile jacket or cover for charging mobile devices in case of emergency where electricity supply is a major issue and only sunlight is available.
BACKGROUND
[002] Mobile phones are very common these days and so are mobile chargers. In reality, they are used to charge the batteries within the cell phones by supplying them with low DC voltage and current. There may be various types of chargers used to charge different cell phones, but the main functioning of those are almost the same.
The latest mobile chargers are a form of power supply unit that uses the Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS) technology. In order to understand the working phenomenon of a mobile charger, we need to understand the idea of a power supply unit (PSU). PSU is a system that transfers electrical energy from one end to the other by adjusting its basic characteristics according to the requirements. An example of a PSU is the application which converts AC mains voltage to controlled DC voltage. The PSUs can be of two types depending on the mode of service – liner and switch.
In these switching mode chargers, the energy transfer is performed by switching electrical components (inductor, capacitor, etc.) on and off continuously. The output voltage/current can be regulated by changing the duty cycle, the frequency or the corresponding step. Using SMPS technology, the chargers are made smaller and lighter by eliminating low-frequency transformers. It is also more efficient than traditional methods that use bulky transformers.
The AC supply is first entered through the line filters in the charger. Line filters are the type of electronic filters that are mounted between an electronic device and an external line to alter/attenuate the electromagnetic interference effect. The filtered signal is now made to pass through the full wave bridge rectifier circuit. The rectifier transforms the AC voltage to DC voltage. Pulse transformers are divided into two categories: power and signal transformers. The one used here is a transformer of electricity. It reduces the voltage level of the input power and gives the low voltage power needed to charge the battery. The traditional separate chargers currently available on the market are not capable of charging quickly enough. During a visit to offbeat locations, charging the mobile device quickly becomes a big challenge. The uniqueness of the proposed technologies lies in the circuitry based on microcontrollers, which allows mobile jackets with solar power to be charged quickly. The proposed system uses a min (1Amp) 6V x 1Amp = 6W solar panel (flexible solar panel) and the components are arranged in a flexible PCB. Flexible solar panels and PCB are arranged in the back panel of the Mobile jacket. One of the major disadvantages of the traditional separate solar charger is not only the slow charging, but also the cost of installation, weight, scale, a comparatively larger panel with more complex controller circuitry, which is becoming a real burden for travelers exploring offbeat locations. The integrated mobile jacket of the solar charger will minimize the strain of a separate device and thereby reduce the weight and size of the device. The proposed innovation thus becomes cost-effective, user-friendly and easy to carry (without the need for external connections) and also ensures the safety of reverse polarity.

[0016] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG2, While the mobile jacket is exposed to the solar panel in sunlight, according to the theory of photovoltaic effect, the solar energy will be converted as voltage by solar panel cell which is embedded with microcontroller based circuitry in the back panel of the mobile jacket. The proposed invention may have an add on i.e. a special feature of green LED. The glow of the LED indicates the intensity of this LED that varies depending on the voltage produced by the solar panel. The Zener diode is incorporated to the circuit to add avalue to the system by ensuring the control of regulation of voltage and the SL100 transistor drives output voltage.
[0017] The positive output wire of the voltage regulator is soldered with the USB's positive. Similarly, the negative output of regulator is required to connect with the negative of USB. The USB port must be fixed properly to the PCB. Next, the solar panel is connected to the input of the voltage regulator (positive of solar panel to positive input of voltage regulator and negative of solar panel to negative input). Once connection is done, the output voltage is measured in open sun light. And it shows around 5V. Thus, the jacket now ready to use in a mobile cover and connection can be made with the mobile device to get fast charging.
