Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of photovoltaic technology and the field of charging technology using photovoltaic panels, and particularly to a photovoltaic panel module and an energy replenishment station. Background Technology

[0002] Energy replenishment stations are locations set up in parking lots, bus stops, and other similar areas for charging e-bikes, electric bicycles, and electric vehicles. For ease of use, these stations are typically installed outdoors. When installed outdoors, photovoltaic (PV) panels can be installed on them to supplement the energy replenishment station's power supply, significantly reducing its reliance on mains electricity. Therefore, installing PV panels on energy replenishment stations has broad application prospects.

[0003] Currently, photovoltaic (PV) panels are typically located at the top of energy replenishment stations, which are often situated along roadsides or in relatively open parking lots. As vehicles move through these areas, dust is easily stirred up and falls onto the PV panels. Furthermore, fallen leaves from roadside trees or trees around parking lots during the leaf-shedding season also settle on the panels. This accumulated dust and leaves reduce the PV panels' ability to absorb sunlight, necessitating cleaning after a period of use. The existing method involves operators periodically brushing the panels, which, given their location at the top of the energy replenishment station, increases the difficulty of cleaning.

[0004] Meanwhile, the angle of sunlight incidence changes with the seasons. If the photovoltaic panels are fixed to the top of the energy supply station, seasonal changes can easily affect their conversion efficiency. Currently, adaptive attitude control devices are commonly used to adjust the angle of photovoltaic panels. These typically employ a motor driving a pair of meshing gears or a worm gear drive to adjust the panel's tilt angle. However, gear drives are generally suitable for adjusting single photovoltaic panels, not multiple panels. Worm gear drives are convenient for adjusting multiple panels, but as the number of panels increases, the load on the motor driving the worm gear also increases. Furthermore, existing adaptive attitude control devices adjust the angle of the photovoltaic panels around a fixed hinge point, rather than allowing for positional movement. Therefore, in the face of severe extreme weather such as hail and heavy snow, hail can easily damage photovoltaic panels, while heavy snow can easily cover the entire panel. When the weather improves, operators need to clear the snow or wait for it to melt so the photovoltaic panels can continue to convert energy. Alternatively, roadside trees can affect the amount of sunlight received by some photovoltaic panels, and when roadside trees partially or completely block the photovoltaic panels, it is inconvenient to adjust the position of the panels.

[0005] Secondly, photovoltaic panels are currently usually fixed to the top of the energy supply station with screws. This method of connection and fixing makes the screws prone to corrosion, which makes it inconvenient to disassemble the photovoltaic panels and perform maintenance. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention provides a photovoltaic panel module and an energy replenishment station to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, reduce the power consumption of the energy replenishment station, save energy, facilitate cleaning of the photovoltaic panel module, facilitate adjustment of the angle of the photovoltaic panel module to improve the conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic panel, and facilitate adjustment of the position of the photovoltaic panel module to avoid damage to the photovoltaic panel module, thus having strong practicality.

Detailed Implementation

[0047] Example 1

[0048] Reference Figures 1-2As shown, a photovoltaic panel module includes a base shell 1, an adjustment mechanism 2 on the base shell 1, a cleaning mechanism 3 on the adjustment mechanism 2, and multiple connecting mechanisms 4 mounted on the base shell 1. The base shell 1 is fixed to the top of an energy supply station. The adjustment mechanism 2 is used to adjust the tilt angle and position of the photovoltaic panels 210 mounted on it. The cleaning mechanism 3 automatically cleans the photovoltaic panels 210. The connecting mechanisms 4 are connecting components for easy connection and disassembly.

[0049] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the bottom shell 1 includes a bottom plate 10. Side plates 11 are formed by bending upwards on both sides of the bottom plate 10. Multiple mounting holes 12 are provided at both ends of each side plate 11. A top cover plate 13 is formed by bending inwards at the upper end of the side plate 11. One of the top cover plates 13 has an elongated hole 14. An upper extension plate 15 is formed by bending upwards at one end of the bottom plate 10. An arc plate 16 is formed by bending inwards at the upper end of the upper extension plate 15. The presence of the top cover plate 13 serves to shield the adjustment mechanism 2 and cleaning mechanism 3 located below it, thereby ensuring the normal operation of these components. The upper extension plate 15 and the arc plate 16 prevent cleaning water or rainwater from flowing out from their front ends.

[0050] Reference Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the adjustment mechanism 2 includes a first lower plate 200 mounted on the base plate 10. The first lower plate 200 is bent upward to form a first vertical plate 201. A pair of guide rails 202 are mounted on the inner wall of the first vertical plate 201. The inner wall of the guide rails 202 is provided with protrusions 203. Multiple movable blocks 204 are provided between the guide rails 202. The protrusions 203 pass through the upper and lower ends of the movable blocks 204. Each movable block 204 is provided with a connecting shaft 205. The inner end of each connecting shaft 205 is provided with a first rotating member 206. The guide rails 202 play a guiding and limiting role in the movement of the movable blocks 204.

[0051] Each of the first rotating components 206 is equipped with a lower liner plate 208, and an adhesive film 209 is attached to the lower liner plate 208. Multiple photovoltaic panels 210 are mounted on the adhesive film 209. This embodiment uses flexible photovoltaic panels to reduce the weight of the entire photovoltaic module. Simultaneously, the outer wall of the lower liner plate 208 can be made curved to increase the light-receiving area. Of course, glass photovoltaic panels 210 can also be used as an alternative material.

[0052] A second lower plate 237 is also installed on the base plate 10. The second lower plate 237 is bent upward to form a second vertical plate 238, and a rectangular elongated hole is opened on the second vertical plate 238. The rectangular elongated hole makes it possible for each lower liner plate 208 to move.

[0053] A second rotating component 211 is installed at the other end of the lower liner 208. Each of the second rotating components 211 has a rotating shaft 212 at its lower end. The rotating shaft 212 passes through a rectangular elongated hole. A sliding block 213 is fitted onto the rotating shaft 212. Limiting plates 214 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the sliding block 213. The limiting plates 214 are installed on the second vertical plate 238. Each rotating shaft 212 has a pair of intersecting hinge plates 215. The hinge plates 215 on adjacent rotating shafts 212 are hinged together. The ends of the hinge plates 215 on one rotating shaft 212 are all hinged to end hinge plates 2. 17. The other ends of the end hinge plates 217 are hinged together by an end shaft 219. The inner end of the end shaft 219 is mounted on the second vertical plate 238. A first worm gear 220 is mounted on the end of one of the end hinge plates 217. The end shaft 219 passes through the first worm gear 220. A first worm 221 meshes with the first worm gear 220. Both the upper and lower ends of the first worm 221 are provided with drive seats 222. Both drive seats 222 are mounted on the second vertical plate 238. The drive seat 222 at the upper end is equipped with a first motor 223. The output shaft of the first motor 223 is connected to the first worm 221. The transmission method using the first worm 221 and the first worm gear 220 can ensure the stability after adjustment. The use of multiple pairs of intersecting hinge plates 215 for adjusting the position of the lower liner 208 has significant stability.

[0054] Each outer end of the rotating shaft 212 is provided with a rotating outer plate 224, and the other end of each rotating outer plate 224 is provided with a deflection pin 225. A deflection cross plate 226 is fitted onto the deflection pin 225. An oblong hole 227 is opened on the deflection cross plate 226, and the deflection pin 225 passes through the oblong hole 227. Both ends of the deflection cross plate 226 are provided with connecting pins 228, and a first deflection plate 229 is connected to each connecting pin 228. The other end of each first deflection plate 229 is provided with a turntable 230. A second deflection plate 231 is formed on the outer periphery of the turntable 230. The length direction of the second deflection plate 231 is parallel to that of the first deflection plate. The length directions of 229 are perpendicular to each other. The other end of the second deflection plate 231 is hinged to a connecting push plate 232. A fixed shaft is concentrically passed through the turntable 230. The inner ends of the fixed shafts are all fixed to the second vertical plate 238. A second worm gear 236 is installed on one of the turntables 230. A second worm 235 is meshed on the second worm gear 236. A second drive seat 233 is provided at both ends of the second worm 235. The second drive seats 233 are all installed on the second vertical plate 238. A second motor 234 is installed at the upper end of the second drive seat 233. The output shaft of the second motor 234 is connected to the second worm 235.

[0055] When adjusting the tilt angle of the lower liner 208 and the photovoltaic panel 210, the second motor 234 is started. Driven by the second motor 234, the second worm gear 235 rotates, which in turn drives the second worm wheel 236. During the rotation of the second worm wheel 236, the connected turntable 230 rotates. The rotation of the turntable 230, through the action of the second deflection plate 231 and the connecting push plate 232, causes the other turntable 230 to rotate. At this time, the two turntables 230 rotate synchronously. The rotation of the turntable 230, through the first deflection plate 229, acts on the deflection plate 226, causing the deflection plate 226 to move downwards. This downward movement of the deflection plate 226 then acts on the deflection pin 225 through the oblong hole 227, causing the deflection pin 225 to move downwards as well. This downward movement of the deflection pin 225 drives the rotating outer plate 224 to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft 212. The rotation of the rotating shaft 212 then drives the lower liner plate 208 connected to it to rotate, ultimately causing the lower liner plate 208 to tilt to a certain angle. When adjusting the tilt angle, the use of a second worm gear 235 and a second worm wheel 236 improves the stability after adjustment. Furthermore, to prevent corrosion of the workpiece, these components can be made of aluminum.

[0056] When adjusting the position of the lower liner 208 and the photovoltaic panel 210 on it, first adjust the angle of the lower liner 208 as described above. During the adjustment, it is generally necessary to rotate the lower liner 208 by a certain angle. Next, the first motor 223 is started, and the first worm gear 221 rotates under the drive of the first motor 223. The rotation of the first worm gear 221 will drive the first worm wheel 220 to rotate. When the first worm wheel 220 rotates, it will drive the end hinge plate 217 fixed on it to rotate around the axis of the end shaft 219. The rotation of the end hinge plate 217 will cause the included angle between multiple pairs of hinge plates 215 to increase or decrease. When the included angle between the hinge plates 215 increases, it will cause the sliding blocks 213 set at the hinge point to move away from each other, and finally cause the lower liner plate 208 to be in an unfolded state. When the included angle between the hinge plates 215 decreases, it will cause the sliding blocks 213 set at the hinge point to move closer to each other, so that the lower liner plate 208 can be gathered at one end of the assembly.

[0057] In the event of hail or heavy snow, the lower liner 208 can be made to stand upright and be gathered at one end of the module, thereby preventing hail from damaging the photovoltaic panel 210.

[0058] If a local area is severely obstructed, the lower liner 208 can be moved to one end and tilted at a certain angle.

[0059] Reference Figures 8 to 11 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 3 includes a pair of movable end seats 300 mounted on the outer wall of the first vertical plate 201.

The inverted T-shaped arm 305 passes through the elongated hole 14. Two pairs of constraint plates 306 are provided on the inverted T-shaped arm 305. The constraint plates 306 are located on the upper and lower sides of the upper cover plate 13. An inner extension plate 307 extends vertically inward from the upper end of the inverted T-shaped arm 305. The other end of the inner extension plate 307 is provided with a long strip plate 308, on which a movable hole 309 is opened. An outer rotating seat 310 is installed at one end of the long strip plate 308, and a cleaning motor 312 is installed on the outer rotating seat 310. The output shaft of the cleaning motor 312 is connected to a first rotating shaft. The inner end of the first rotating shaft is provided with a first inclined plate 313. The other end of the first inclined plate 313 is provided with a central shaft perpendicular to its surface. The other end of the central shaft is provided with a second inclined plate 314 perpendicularly. The other end of the second inclined plate 314 is provided with a second rotating shaft 315. The second rotating shaft 315 is coaxial with the first rotating shaft. An inner rotating seat 311 is provided on the second rotating shaft 315. The inner rotating seat 311 is installed on the long strip plate 308. A pair of semi-circular plates 316 are sleeved on the central shaft. The components 316 are connected and fixed by a wing plate 317. A swing plate 318 is provided on the inner end of the upper semi-circular plate 316. The length direction of the swing plate 318 is perpendicular to the axis of the semi-circular plate 316. An arc-shaped groove is formed on the swing plate 318, and a rotating ball 320 is provided within the arc-shaped groove. A ball seat 319 is fitted onto the rotating ball 320 and is mounted on the swing plate 318. A connecting rod 321 is provided on the rotating ball 320, and a boss 322 is hinged to the other end of the connecting rod 321. A movable tube 323 is provided at the lower end of the boss 322 and is fitted onto the outer end of the second rotating shaft 315. A threaded seat 324 is provided at the end of the movable tube 323, and a connecting screw 325 is provided on the threaded seat 324. The other end is fitted with a sleeve 326, and the inner end of the connecting screw 325 is provided with a pair of fixing nuts 327. The fixing nuts 327 are located at both ends of the sleeve 326. The sleeve 326 extends downward and is provided with a connecting middle plate 328. The lower end of the connecting middle plate 328 is provided with a movable plate 329. The movable plate 329 passes through the movable hole 309. The upper and lower ends of the movable plate 329 are respectively provided with multiple pairs of limiting rollers 330. The outer periphery of the limiting rollers 330 is tangent to the upper and lower sides of the long strip plate 308. The lower end of the movable plate 329 is equipped with a movable lower plate 331. The lower wall of the movable lower plate 331 is provided with multiple cleaning bristles 332. Multiple mounting protrusions 333 are installed on both sides of the long strip plate 308. The mounting protrusions 333 are all provided with nozzles 334 extending downward.

[0060] Among them, the guide rail 301 plays a guiding role in the movement of the movable seat 304.

[0061] The constraint plate 306 further limits the movement of the inverted T-shaped arm 305, and prevents the reciprocating movement of the movable lower plate 331 during cleaning, which would cause the inverted T-shaped arm 305 to shake and affect the movement of the movable seat 304.

[0062] The limiting roller 330 plays a limiting role in the movement of the movable lower plate 331, and also ensures the flexibility of the movement of the movable lower plate 331.

[0063] The cleaning bristles 332 are designed to clean the photovoltaic panel 210, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0064] The nozzle 334 is designed to spray cleaning fluid, which helps in the cleaning of the photovoltaic panel 210.

[0065] During cleaning, the lower liner 208 needs to be laid flat. Then, the moving motor 302 is started, and the moving screw 303 rotates under the drive of the moving motor 302. The rotation of the moving screw 303 will drive the moving seat 304 to move along the length of the guide rail 301. The movement of the moving seat 304 will drive the inverted T-shaped arm 305 to move. During the movement of the inverted T-shaped arm 305, the cleaning motor 312 is also started. The cleaning motor 312 will drive the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft 315 to rotate. The rotation of the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft 315 will drive the inclined central rod. The central rod rotates around the first axis, and the rotation of the central rod will cause the swing plate 318 to swing. During the swing, the connecting rod 321 will move back and forth. The back and forth movement of the connecting rod 321 will drive the movable plate 329 to move back and forth. When the movable plate 329 moves, it will drive the lower movable plate 331 to reciprocate. Through the reciprocating movement of the lower movable plate 331, the cleaning bristles 332 will clean the outer wall of the photovoltaic panel 210. During cleaning, the cleaning water will be sprayed onto the photovoltaic panel 210 through the nozzle 334. This operation continues until the cleaning operation is completed.

[0066] Reference Figures 12 to 15 As shown, the connecting mechanism 4 includes a mounting end plate 400 mounted on the side plate 11. The mounting end plate 400 is mounted at the mounting hole 12. The mounting end plate 400 extends inwardly and is provided with a connecting outer tube 401. The other end of the connecting outer tube 401 is provided with an end ring 403. A positioning notch 402 is opened on the connecting outer tube 401.

[0067] A movable sleeve 404 is inserted inside the end ring 403. An outer ring 405 is provided at the outer end of the movable sleeve 404, which is located at the outer end of the end ring 403. An inner ring 406 is provided at the inner end of the movable sleeve 404, which is located inside the connecting outer tube 401. A pair of connecting arc plates 407 are provided on the inner ring 406. An end plate 408 is provided at the other end of the connecting arc plate 407, which is located inside the connecting outer tube 401. A positioning rod 409 extends outward from the end plate 408. A spring 410 is sleeved on the inner end of the positioning rod 409. A limiting end tube 411 is provided at the outer end of the spring 410. The limiting end tube 411 is screwed to the end of the movable sleeve 404. A rotating ring 412 is provided at the outer end of the limiting end tube 411. The positioning rod 409 passes through the limiting end tube 411. The outer ring 405 limits the inward movement of the movable sleeve 404, while the inner ring 406 limits the outward movement of the movable sleeve 404. The spring 410 allows the positioning rod 409 to move backward automatically when the limit is removed, thus facilitating the disconnection.

[0068] An elastic element is provided between the connecting arc plates 407, which is used to limit the extension of the positioning rod 409.

[0069] The movable sleeve 404 is equipped with a pressing element, which acts on the elastic element to make the elastic element cancel the limiting effect on the positioning rod 409.

[0070] The elastic element includes an inner end plate 413 disposed on the inner wall of the end plate 408. An inner extension connecting plate 414 is provided at the upper end of the inner end plate 413. An inclined plate 415 is provided at the other end of the inner extension connecting plate 414. The other end of the inclined plate 415 extends upwards at an angle and is provided with a second connecting plate 416. A third connecting plate 417 is provided vertically downwards from the second connecting plate 416. A lifting plate 418 is provided at the lower end of the third connecting plate 417. A rectangular window 424 is provided on the lifting plate 418. When the positioning rod 409 protrudes from the connecting outer tube 401, the upper ends of the second connecting plate 416 and the third connecting plate 417 are located at the positioning notch 402, and the upper end of the third connecting plate 417 acts on one end of the positioning notch 402. The elastic element is made of copper alloy sheet or elastic material. The inclined plate 415 facilitates the inward pushing of the movable sleeve 404, thereby facilitating the insertion of the positioning rod 409 into the corresponding position of the energy supply station. When the positioning rod 409 protrudes, the third connecting plate 417 acts on the outer end of the positioning notch 402, thereby facilitating the limitation of the extension length of the positioning rod 409.

[0071] The pressing component includes an inner push rod 419 passing through the movable sleeve 404. A push plate 420 is provided on the inner end of the inner push rod 419. The lower wall of the push plate 420 is inclined, and the inner end of the push plate 420 is the smaller end. The push plate 420 passes through the rectangular window 424. A limiting end plate 422 is provided on the outer end of the push plate 420. The limiting end plate 422 is located inside the lifting plate 418. A second spring 423 is provided on the limiting end plate 422, and the other end of the second spring 423 is located on the inner end plate 413. The second spring 423 facilitates pressing the inner push rod 419 again, thereby facilitating the release of the limiting effect on the positioning rod 409. The push plate 420 can easily push the lower end of the rectangular window 424 downwards through its inclined surface. The limiting end plate 422 prevents the inner push rod 419 from moving out of the movable sleeve 404, thus facilitating the pressing operation again.

[0072] When connecting the connecting mechanism 4, the operator presses the outer ring 405. During the pressing process, the movable sleeve 404, connecting arc plate 407, positioning rod 409, and elastic element move. During the movement, when the inclined plate 415 passes the positioning notch 402, it will cause the lifting plate 418 to move downward until the lifting plate 418 moves to the positioning notch 402, at which point the pressing stops. At this time, the lifting plate 418 will move upward again due to the elastic element's ability to recover its deformation, and the third connecting plate 417 will act on the end of the positioning notch 402, thus completing the ejection operation of the positioning rod 409. The positioning rod 409 will then pass through the skirt plate on the top of the energy supply station, thus completing the fixing of the component.

[0073] When the positioning rod 409 is pulled out, the operator presses the inner push rod 419, causing the inner push rod 419 to move inward. This causes the inclined surface of the lower push plate 420 to act on the lower end of the rectangular window 424 of the lifting plate 418, thereby causing the third connecting plate 417 to move downward. The downward movement of the third connecting plate 417 will cause the movable sleeve 404 to move outward, and finally remove the positioning rod 409 from the skirt plate.
