Abstract
A foldable cover plate is configured to be mounted to a tailstock of the movable device to cover or open an opening provided with the tailstock, and includes a plurality of cover assemblies rotationally connected in sequence. each of the plurality of cover assemblies includes a photovoltaic panel and a substrate. the photovoltaic panel of each of the plurality of cover assemblies is arranged on an associated substrate. The photovoltaic panel is configured to absorb light energy and convert the light energy to electrical energy. Any two adjacent cover assemblies of the plurality of cover assemblies are electrically connected to each other; and in a connection direction of the plurality of cover assemblies, a one-end cover assembly of the plurality of cover assemblies is configured to be electrically connected to an energy storage device arranged in the tailstock to charge the energy storage device.
