ハーネス（３）も同様に面一状態になる。The conventional expandable solar cell array described above is constructed as follows.
If the holding and releasing mechanism of the solar panel (not shown) is released from the folded X7 state of 11 (2), the rotating torque of the coil spring wrapped around the hinge bin (7) integrated with the clevis fitting (6) Yoshi solar panel (2)
As shown in Figure 2, unfold it in the direction of the arrow and connect the wire harness (3) between panel
One end side of the panel 12+ rotates as the panel 12+ unfolds. Then, panel f2) is expanded and the panel (f2) is expanded as shown in Figure 3.
When it becomes flush with 1), its expanded state is maintained. At this time, the wire harness (3) connecting the panels fil +2) also becomes flush.

のであった。However, with the shape of the wire harness as described above, thermal expansion and contraction occur in the wire harness due to temperature changes when the panel is unfolded, resulting in tensile force and
The compressive force cannot be absorbed by the wire harness itself, which affects the expansion of the panel, and also causes repeated loads to be applied to the connection between the wire harness and the panel, resulting in a decrease in reliability due to fatigue failure. It was something.
この発明は上記の様な従来のものの欠点を除去する為に
なされたもので、パネル間接続のワイヤーハーネス形状
をスパイラル状と１７だ事により。This invention was made in order to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional products as described above, by changing the shape of the wire harness for connecting panels to each other into a spiral shape.

、パネル取付面に平行に取付ける事により。In Figures 4 to 6, (1) to (9) refer to Figures 1 to 3.
It is the same as the one shown in the figure, but the difference is the wire harness (3
) is manufactured in a spiral shape, and the angle between the panel mounting surfaces at both ends of the harness is 180°, and the harness is mounted parallel to the panel mounting surface.
パネル展開時（第５図）にはワイヤーハーネスの弾性に

It shows the function of or,
Thermal expansion and
In response to heat shrinkage, the wire harness has a shape that sufficiently absorbs tensile and compressive forces within its own loop, and does not apply any load to the connection between the wire harness and the panel.

箇所に与えず高信頼性を得られるという利点がある。As described above, according to the present invention, a moment that promotes panel expansion and a moment that acts as a resistance to panel expansion are generated in the panel, thereby reducing the influence on panel expansion and reducing the load caused by thermal expansion and contraction between the wire harness and the panel. This has the advantage that high reliability can be obtained without affecting the interconnection points.
