[0014] Beneficial effects This invention provides a photovoltaic panel support with dust removal function. It has the following beneficial effects: (1) The photovoltaic panel bracket with dust removal function is driven by a motor to rotate the threaded rod in the forward or reverse direction, so that the moving part slides left and right. The roller on the surface of the support plate contacts and squeezes the bottom surface of the connecting strip. The slider slides inside the slide groove as the angle of the two sets of connecting strips changes, so that the sleeve rod drives the upper and lower pressure plates of the slide rod side wall to move, so that the cleaning brush on the bottom surface of the lower pressure plate sweeps off the debris on the surface of the photovoltaic panel, which can automatically clean the solar photovoltaic panel and reduce the workload of workers.

[0015] (2) The photovoltaic panel bracket with dust removal function uses the sliding rod under the elastic force of the return spring to make the cleaning brush at the bottom of the lower pressure plate fit tightly against the surface of the photovoltaic panel. During the movement, the lower pressure plate collides with the protrusion, causing the sliding rod to stretch. Under the elastic force of the return spring, the lower pressure plate shakes, thereby shaking off the dust attached to the cleaning brush and preventing the dust adhering to the surface of the cleaning brush from remaining on the surface of the photovoltaic panel.

[0016] (3) The photovoltaic panel bracket with dust removal function collects debris swept off the photovoltaic panel surface by setting collection grooves on both sides of the base surface and inserting boxes inside them. The boxes are also designed with handles to facilitate removal so that workers can recycle the debris inside the boxes. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 The present invention provides a photovoltaic panel bracket with dust removal function, including a base 1, four sets of pads 2 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the base 1, and an installation groove 3 is opened on the surface of the base 1, and a support component 4 is arranged inside the installation groove 3.

[0024] In this embodiment of the invention, the support component 4 includes: Mounting frame 41, with sliding grooves 42 on both side walls, and sliders 43 slidably connected inside both sets of sliding grooves 42. Through holes are opened on the side walls of sliders 43, and limit rods 44 are slidably connected in the through holes. The two ends of the limit rods 44 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the sliding grooves 42. A connecting strip 45 is hinged to the bottom surface of sliders 43, and the end of the connecting strip 45 away from sliders 43 is hinged to the inner wall of mounting groove 3. The movable part 46 has through holes on both sides on its side wall. A guide rod 47 is fixedly and slidably connected in one set of through holes. Both ends of the guide rod 47 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 3. A threaded rod 48 is threadedly connected in the other set of through holes. One end of the threaded rod 48 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 3, and the other end of the threaded rod 48 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 49. The motor 49 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 3. A support column 410 is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable part 46, and a support plate 411 is fixedly connected to the top of the support column 410.

[0025] Specifically, the support component 4 in this embodiment of the invention includes a mounting frame 41, a sliding groove 42, a slider 43, a limiting rod 44, a connecting strip 45, a moving part 46, a guide rod 47, a threaded rod 48, a motor 49, a support column 410, and a support plate 411. A groove 412 is provided on the surface of the support plate 411, and a roller 413 is rotatably connected inside the groove 412. The roller 413 is in contact with the bottom surface of the connecting strip 45. Two sets of connecting strips 45 are provided, and the two sets of connecting strips 45 are hinged to the side wall of the slider 43 in a cross shape. A photovoltaic panel is detachably connected to the surface of the mounting frame 41, and four sets of symmetrically arranged protrusions 414 are fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting frame 41. The motor 49 drives the threaded rod 48 to rotate forward or backward, causing the moving part 46 to slide left and right. During the sliding process, the guide rod 47 guides the moving part 46, thus preventing the moving part 46 from rotating with the threaded rod 48. When the moving part 46 moves to the left, the roller 413 on the surface of the support plate 411 contacts and presses against the bottom surface of a set of connecting strips 45. As the moving distance of the moving part 46 increases, the angle between the set of connecting strips 45 and the mounting frame 41 gradually increases. Similarly, when the moving part 46 moves to the right, the roller 413 on the surface of the support plate 411 contacts and presses against the side bottom surface of another set of connecting strips 45, causing the angle between the other set of connecting strips 45 and the mounting frame 41 to gradually increase. This changes the tilt angle of the left and right adjustment mounting frame 41, and the slider 43 slides inside the slide groove 42 as the angle of the two sets of connecting strips 45 changes. The limiting rod 44 prevents the slider 43 from falling out of the slide groove 42.

[0026] In this embodiment of the invention, a dust removal assembly 5 is provided on the side wall of each of the two sets of sliders 43. The dust removal assembly 5 includes a fixing block 51, which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the slider 43. A sleeve rod 52 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing block 51. A piston plate 53 is slidably connected inside the sleeve rod 52. A sliding rod 54 is fixedly connected to the surface of the piston plate 53. A return spring 55 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the piston plate 53. The end of the return spring 55 away from the piston plate 53 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sleeve rod 52. The sliding rod 54 passes through and is slidably connected to the end of the sleeve rod 52. A lower pressure plate 56 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sliding rod 54. A cleaning brush 57 is provided on the pressure plate 56. The two sets of sliders 43 slide inside the slide groove 42 as the two sets of connecting strips 45 change, causing the sleeve rod 52 to drive the upper and lower pressure plates 56 on the side wall of the slide rod 54 to move. This causes the cleaning brush 57 on the bottom surface of the lower pressure plate 56 to sweep away the debris on the surface of the photovoltaic panel. Under the elastic force of the return spring 55, the cleaning brush 57 at the bottom of the lower pressure plate 56 is tightly attached to the surface of the photovoltaic panel. During the movement, the lower pressure plate 56 collides with the protrusion 414, causing the slide rod 54 to stretch. Under the elastic force of the return spring 55, the lower pressure plate 56 vibrates, thereby shaking off the dust attached to the cleaning brush 57.

[0027] In this embodiment of the invention, two sets of symmetrically arranged collection grooves 6 are formed on the surface of the base 1. Notches 7 are formed on the side walls of the collection grooves 6. Insert boxes 8 are inserted into the inside of the collection grooves 6. Connecting rods 9 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the insert boxes 8, and the connecting rods 9 are inserted into the notches 7. A handle 10 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 9 furthest from the insert box 8. By setting collection grooves 6 on both sides of the surface of the base 1 and inserting insert boxes 8 inside them, debris swept off the surface of the photovoltaic panel can be collected. The handles 10 facilitate the removal of the insert boxes 8, allowing workers to recycle the debris inside the boxes, thus improving work efficiency.

[0028] In addition, to automatically clean the solar photovoltaic panels and reduce the workload of workers, the motor 49 drives the threaded rod 48 to rotate forward or backward, causing the moving part 46 to slide left and right. The roller 413 on the surface of the support plate 411 contacts and presses against the bottom surface of the connecting strip 45, and the slider 43 slides inside the slide groove 42 as the angle of the two sets of connecting strips 45 changes. This causes the sleeve rod 52 to drive the upper and lower pressure plates 56 on the side wall of the slide rod 54 to move, so that the cleaning brush 57 on the bottom surface of the lower pressure plate 56 sweeps away the debris on the surface of the photovoltaic panel.

[0029] To prevent dust adhering to the surface of the cleaning brush 57 from remaining on the surface of the photovoltaic panel, the cleaning brush 57 at the bottom of the lower pressure plate 56 is tightly attached to the surface of the photovoltaic panel by the elastic force of the return spring 55 under the action of the slide rod 54. During the movement, the lower pressure plate 56 collides with the protrusion 414, causing the slide rod 54 to stretch. Under the elastic force of the return spring 55, the lower pressure plate 56 vibrates, thereby shaking off the dust adhering to the cleaning brush 57.

[0030] To improve worker efficiency, collection slots 6 are set on both sides of the surface of the base 1, and insertion boxes 8 are inserted inside them to collect debris swept off the surface of the photovoltaic panel. Handles 10 are provided to facilitate the removal of the insertion boxes 8 so that workers can recycle the debris inside the insertion boxes 8.

[0031] In this invention, during use, the motor 49 drives the threaded rod 48 to rotate in the forward or reverse direction, causing the moving part 46 to slide left and right. During the sliding process, the guide rod 47 guides the moving part 46, thereby preventing the moving part 46 from rotating with the threaded rod 48. When the moving part 46 moves to the left, the roller 413 on the surface of the support plate 411 contacts and presses against the bottom surface of a set of connecting strips 45. As the moving distance of the moving part 46 increases, the angle between the set of connecting strips 45 and the mounting frame 41 gradually increases. Similarly, when the moving part 46 moves to the right, the roller 413 on the surface of the support plate 411 contacts and presses against the side bottom surface of the other set of connecting strips 45, causing the included angle between the other set of connecting strips 45 and the mounting frame 41 to gradually increase, thereby changing the tilt angle of the left and right adjustment mounting frame 41. The slider 43 slides inside the slide groove 42 as the angle of the two sets of connecting strips 45 changes, and the limiting rod 44 prevents the slider 43 from falling out of the slide groove 42. The two sets of sliders 43 slide inside the slide groove 42 as the two sets of connecting strips 45 change, causing the sleeve rod 52 to drive the upper and lower pressure plates 56 on the side wall of the slide rod 54 to move, thereby causing the cleaning brush 57 on the bottom surface of the lower pressure plate 56 to... Debris on the surface of the photovoltaic panel is swept off. Under the elastic force of the return spring 55, the sliding rod 54 causes the cleaning brush 57 at the bottom of the lower pressure plate 56 to fit tightly against the surface of the photovoltaic panel. During the movement, the lower pressure plate 56 collides with the protrusion 414, causing the sliding rod 54 to stretch. Under the elastic force of the return spring 55, the lower pressure plate 56 vibrates, thereby shaking off the dust attached to the cleaning brush 57. By setting collection grooves 6 on both sides of the surface of the base 1 and inserting boxes 8 inside them, the debris swept off the surface of the photovoltaic panel is collected. The handle 10 is provided to facilitate the removal of the boxes 8, so that the staff can recycle the debris inside the boxes 8, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0032] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
