[0031] Example 1:
[0032] This embodiment provides an automatic dust removal device for a mirror-traction type photothermal heliostat, including a brush roller 1 and an electric drive device 5. The brush roller 1 is in contact with the mirror surface of the heliostat 2 and the lengths of the two are matched. Both ends of the brush roller 1 are fixedly connected to a winding roller 103. The electric drive device 5 is coaxially mounted on both ends of the winding roller 103. A traction cable 3 is wound on the winding roller 103. The other end of the traction cable 3 is fixed to the top of the heliostat 2. The outer diameter D of the winding roller 103 is smaller than the outer diameter D0 of the brush roller 1.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the brush roller 1 is suspended on the surface of the heliostat 2 via traction cables 3 on both sides. The length of the brush roller 1 matches the length of the heliostat 2 to cover the entire surface of the heliostat 2 for dust removal as much as possible. The heliostat 2 consists of 3x3 or 4x4 prefabricated mirror units, with a total area generally ranging from 20 to 60 square meters. In practice, different winding rollers 103 and brush roller 1 diameters are selected according to the actual size of the heliostat 2 to control the weight of the dust removal device and the pressure applied to the mirror surface by the brush roller 1, thereby achieving the purpose of removing accumulated dust under different conditions.
[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the brush roller 1 includes a center roller 101 and brush bristles 102. The brush bristles 102 are attached to the center roller 101, and the center roller 101 and brush bristles 102 are a single finished product. The brush bristles 102 are made of different grades of heat-resistant and wear-resistant polyurethane series according to the usage environment of the heliostat 2. The winding roller 103 is located on the left and right sides of the center roller 101. After being perforated, it is wound with the traction cable 3. The outer diameter D of the winding roller 103 is smaller than the outer diameter D0 of the brush roller 1.
[0035] Principle of this invention:
[0036] like Figure 3As shown, when the heliostat 2 mirror surface is at an angle θ with the ground, the brush roller 1 is under the action of gravity G, on one hand, it forms a pressure angle θ to the heliostat 2 mirror surface, and applies a pressure P=G×cos(θ) to the mirror surface, on the other hand, it forms a tension F=G×sin(θ) to the traction cable 3. The bristles 102 are deformed under the action of the pressure P and tightly adhere to the heliostat 2 mirror surface. At the same time, since the tension F applied by the traction cable 3 to the winding roller 103 is not coincident with the gravity center O of the brush roller 1, the distance between them is S. The eccentric force F will make the brush roller 1 generate an eccentric torque N=F×S. When the brush roller 1 falls from the upper end of the heliostat 2 mirror surface under the action of gravity, the eccentric torque N formed by the tension will make the brush roller 1 rotate, so that the traction cable 3 is unwound and lengthened, the brush roller 1 moves downward along the heliostat 2 mirror surface to form a rolling brush effect, and the dust on the heliostat 2 mirror surface is removed, at the same time, the electric drive device 5 is driven to move downward along the heliostat 2 mirror surface, and the rotating speed of the electric drive device 5 is used to control the falling speed of the brush roller 1.
[0037] Embodiment 2:
[0038] On the basis of embodiment 1, the embodiment provides a mirror surface traction type light-heat heliostat automatic dust removal device, the electric drive device 5 comprises an electric motor 502, a sliding bracket 501 and a speed reducer 503, the electric motor 502 is installed on the sliding bracket 501, the output shaft of the electric motor 502 is connected to the speed reducer 503, and the output shaft of the speed reducer 503 is connected to the brush roller 1.
[0039] As shown in Figure 5 , the electric motor 502 is installed on the sliding bracket 501, the output of the electric motor 502 is connected to the speed reducer 503, and the output shaft of the speed reducer 503 is connected to the center roller 101 of the brush roller 1, so that the brush roller 1 and the winding roller 103 can be driven to rotate synchronously. During the working process of the electric drive device 5, the sliding bracket 501 can slide linearly upward or downward along the heliostat 2 mirror surface, but cannot rotate.
[0040] Embodiment 3:
[0041] On the basis of embodiment 1, the embodiment provides a mirror surface traction type light-heat heliostat automatic dust removal device, the top end of the heliostat 2 is symmetrically provided with a sunshade protective cover 7, the sunshade protective cover 7 is provided with a hanging fulcrum, the other end of the traction cable 3 is fixedly connected to the hanging fulcrum, a straight line where the two hanging fulcrums are located is parallel to the winding roller 103, and the direction of the traction cable 3 is perpendicular to the winding roller 103.
[0042] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, one end of the traction cable 3 is wound around the winding roller 103, and the other end is fixed to the hanging point 4 of the sunshade protective cover 7 above the mirror surface of the heliostat 2. The traction cable 3 is a flexible traction line, and the diameter is generally 1.5-2.0 mm. During the lifting process, the direction of the traction cable 3 is always perpendicular to the winding roller 103, and the gravity center of the brush roller 1 does not coincide with the brush roller 1, and the distance S is close to D / 2; the other end of the traction cable 3 is fixedly connected with the hanging support point, and the hanging support point is parallel to the winding roller 103 and is fixed to the top of the heliostat 2.
[0043] The sunshade protective cover 7 is mainly used for winding the brush roller 1 into the sunshade protective cover 7 by the electric drive device 5 when the night comes or the device does not work, so as to improve the service life and durability of the brush roller 1 and the electric drive device 5.
[0044] Embodiment 4:
[0045] On the basis of embodiment 1, the embodiment provides a mirror surface traction type light and heat heliostat automatic dust removal device, and the lower end surface of the heliostat 2 is connected with a support column 6 through a rotating shaft.
[0046] As shown in the figure, Figure 4 The heliostat 2 is supported by the support column 6, and the angle θ between the heliostat 2 and the ground can be adjusted through the pitch angle adjusting system (the rotating shaft in this embodiment) of the heliostat 2. For the dust removal process, the first function of the support column 6 is to adjust the pressure P applied to the mirror surface by the brush roller 1 through the θ angle, and then to adjust the contact surface of the brush 102 on the mirror surface, so as to achieve the purpose of removing dust according to different situations; the second function is to reduce the angle θ when the electric drive device 5 drives the brush roller 1 to rotate upward, so that the mirror surface of the heliostat 2 is close to horizontal, thereby reducing the torque demand of the motor 502 and the speed reducer 503 in the upward process.
[0047] Embodiment 5:
[0048] On the basis of embodiment 1, the embodiment provides a mirror surface traction type light and heat heliostat automatic dust removal device, and the outer diameter D of the winding roller 103 is different from the outer diameter D0 of the brush roller 1 by 15-45 mm.
[0049] As shown in the figure, Figure 4 Since the diameter of the brush roller 1 is greater than that of the winding roller 103, the rotational linear velocity R of the contact part of the brush 102 and the heliostat 2 in the falling process is greater than the falling velocity V of the brush roller 1, and a velocity difference is generated. The velocity difference in the falling motion process causes the relative sliding between the brush on the brush roller 1 and the heliostat 2, so that the brush roller 1 forms a rolling brush effect on the heliostat 2, and the accumulated dust on the heliostat 2 can be removed.
[0050] The embodiment can also be provided with a control system to control the start and stop of the electric drive device 5 and the forward and reverse rotation through real-time monitoring of the displacement data of the displacement sensor or rotary encoder, to realize accurate control of the lifting and lowering distance of the traction cable 3.
[0051] Embodiment 6
[0052] On the basis of Embodiment 1, the embodiment provides a mirror traction type photothermal heliostat automatic dust removal device, the sliding support 501 comprises a support and a support wheel set 504, the speed reducer 503 is arranged on the support, and the support cover is arranged above the winding roller 103.
[0053] The middle part of the support is in a circular arc shape, and the two ends are symmetrically connected to the support wheel set 504 through horizontal plates, the support wheel set 504 is composed of upper support wheels and lower support wheels, and the upper support wheels and the lower support wheels are respectively arranged on the upper and lower end surfaces of the heliostat 2 and are connected through a connecting plate. Figure 5
[0054] In the embodiment, the speed reducer is a turbine worm speed reducer, the worm is connected with the output shaft of the motor 502, and the turbine output shaft is connected with the winding roller 103. The support cover is arranged above the winding roller 103 and does not affect the rotation of the winding roller 103. The support wheel set 504 restricts the sliding support 501 to be able to slide but not to be able to rotate, the sliding support 501 can restrict the distance between the brush roller 1 and the heliostat surface 2 during the movement of the brush roller 1 along the heliostat surface, and thus the bending degree of the brush 102 is controlled, and the sliding support 501 can provide a reverse support torque for the rotation of the brush roller 1.
[0055] Embodiment 7
[0056] The embodiment provides a heliostat dust removal method, which adopts a mirror traction type photothermal heliostat automatic dust removal device, the electric drive device 5 drives the brush roller 1 and the winding roller 103 to synchronously rotate upward or downward, the brush on the brush roller 1 generates relative sliding with the mirror surface of the heliostat 2, so that the brush roller 1 performs rolling brushing on the mirror surface of the heliostat 2, and the accumulated dust on the mirror surface of the heliostat 2 is removed.
[0057] As shown in Figure 3 As shown, when the heliostat 2's mirror surface forms a certain angle θ with the ground, the brush roller 1, under the action of gravity G, exerts a pressure angle θ on the heliostat 2's mirror surface, with a pressure P = G × cos(θ). Simultaneously, it exerts a tension F = G × sin(θ) on the traction cable 3. The bristles 102 deform under the pressure P and adhere tightly to the heliostat 2's mirror surface. At the same time, the tension F exerted by the traction cable 3 on the winding roller 103 does not coincide with the center of gravity O of the brush roller 1, and the distance between them is S. The eccentric force F will cause the brush roller 1 to generate an eccentric torque N=F×S. When the brush roller 1 falls from the upper end of the heliostat 2 under the action of gravity, the eccentric torque N formed by its tension will cause the brush roller 1 to rotate, causing the traction cable 3 to unwind and lengthen. The brush roller 1 moves downward along the heliostat 2 to form a rolling brush effect, removing the dust accumulated on the heliostat 2. At the same time, it drives the electric drive device 5 to move downward along the heliostat 2. The rotation speed of the electric drive device 5 is used to control the descent speed of the brush roller 1.
[0058] Example 8:
[0059] Based on Example 7, this example provides a method for dust removal from a heliostat. When the electric drive device 5 drives the brush roller 1 to rotate downwards, the traction cable 3 unwinds and becomes longer. Since the outer diameter of the brush roller 1 is larger than that of the winding roller 103, the rotational linear velocity of the part of the brush bristles 102 of the brush roller 1 that contacts the mirror surface of the heliostat 2 during the descent is... R The falling speed is greater than that of brush roller 1 V The speed difference generated during the falling motion causes the brush to slide relative to the surface of the heliostat 2, thereby allowing the brush roller 1 to roll and brush the surface of the heliostat 2 to remove the accumulated dust.
[0060] When the electric drive device 5 drives the brush roller 1 to rotate upward, the traction cable 3 winds around the winding roller 103, the free length of the traction cable 3 decreases, and the position of the brush roller 1 rises during the rotation. The rotation speed of the motor 502 is used to control the rising speed of the brush roller 1.
[0061] like Figure 4 As shown, the heliostat 2 is supported by the support column 6, which holds the heliostat 2 at a certain angle to the ground. The falling speed of the brush roller 1 on the surface of the heliostat 2 is... V This is equal to the linear velocity of the unwinding motion of the winding roller 103. Since the diameter of the brush roller 1 is larger than that of the winding roller 103, the linear velocity of the brush bristles 102 in contact with the heliostat 2 during the descent is... R The falling speed is greater than that of brush roller 1 V This creates a speed difference.
[0062] When the electric drive device 5 drives the brush roller 1 to rotate upward, the traction cable 3 is wound on the winding roller 103, the free length of the traction cable 3 is reduced, and the brush roller 1 is lifted in position during rotation. When the electric drive device 5 drives the brush roller 1 to rotate downward in reverse, the traction cable 3 is unwound from the winding roller 103, the free length of the traction cable 3 is increased, the brush roller 1 is lowered in position during rotation, and the rotation speed of the electric motor 502 is used to control the lowering speed of the brush roller 1.
[0063] In summary, the mirror traction type light and heat heliostat automatic dust removal device provided by the present application can effectively remove the floating dust on the mirror according to the operation law of the heliostat 2, fully utilizes the eccentric friction force between the brush and the mirror generated by gravity traction, and has the advantages of simple structure, low cost of each component, no need for manual maintenance, significant energy saving and cost advantage.
[0064] The device has wide applicability, the center roller 101 and the brush can be conveniently customized and assembled, the diameter of the center roller 101, the type and length of the brush can be adjusted accordingly for heliostats 2 of different sizes, and the device can be applied in various different sites, is suitable for dry, dusty and water resource scarce areas such as deserts and plateaus, and is also suitable for cold weather environment with low temperature.
[0065] The above examples are only illustrative of the present application and do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present application, and any design identical or similar to the present application falls within the protection scope of the present application.
