Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photovoltaic floating bodies, and more particularly to a highly reflective floating body and a manufacturing method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the current floating power station on the water surface, the photovoltaic float is used as a supporting structure to carry system components, cables, junction boxes and related equipment. Its material is large hollow blow molding grade high-density polyethylene, and it is an integrated structure processed by a single-layer extrusion blow molding machine. The photovoltaic float is composed of structural elements such as connecting ears, blow molding holes, supporting top supports, support frame mounting plates and surface features. Figure 1 As shown, 1 is the floating body ear, 2 is the blow-molded hole, 3 is the support frame mounting plate, and 4 is the surface feature.

[0003] At present, most of the methods used at home and abroad are to increase the tracking rotation axis so that the single-glass module is continuously at the optimal local inclination angle to improve the conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic system of the floating power station on the water surface; Figure 2 As shown, the photovoltaic module 1 is additionally provided with a plurality of rotating shafts 2. Although the use of the tracking system in some photovoltaic projects can increase the power generation efficiency by 10% to 20%, the cost of the bracket is greatly increased, and the cost of system operation and subsequent maintenance is also increased accordingly, which limits the promotion of this installation method to a certain extent. At the same time, this tracking system is of no benefit to double-glass modules (single-glass modules have a single glass on the front and can only generate electricity from the front light; double-glass modules have two glass on the front and back, and can generate electricity from both the front and back lights).

[0004] It can be seen that the existing water surface photovoltaic system components are limited by the limited receiving area of ​​the components due to the certain lighting time and light intensity, low power generation conversion efficiency, high overall system cost, and a long static investment payback period for the power station. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a highly reflective floating body and a manufacturing method and application thereof. The floating body has the characteristics of high reflectivity and high strength, and can effectively improve the power generation efficiency of the double-glass component floating power station used.

[0006] The present invention provides a highly reflective floating body, which has a double-layer blow-molded main body structure, wherein the outer layer components include: high-density polyethylene, linear polyethylene and reflective filling material; the inner layer components include high-density polyethylene;

[0007] The ultraviolet light reflectivity of the highly reflective floating body is above 50%.

[0008] In an embodiment of the present invention, the reflective filling material is a hollow glass microsphere material.

[0009] In an embodiment of the present invention, the hollow glass microsphere material has a silane-modified structure, and the mass ratio of high-density polyethylene, linear polyethylene, and hollow glass microsphere material in the outer layer component is 50-70:10-30:1-20.

[0010] In an embodiment of the present invention, the inner layer component further comprises a silver masterbatch and an infrared blocking agent; the mass ratio of high-density polyethylene, silver masterbatch and infrared blocking agent in the inner layer component is 80-95:1-5:1-5.

[0011] In an embodiment of the present invention, the outer layer has a wall thickness of 0.2 to 1 mm, and the inner layer has a wall thickness of 0.5 to 2 mm.

[0012] In an embodiment of the present invention, the visible light reflectivity of the highly reflective floating body is above 50%, preferably greater than 80%.

[0013] The present invention provides a method for making a highly reflective floating body as described above, comprising: mixing and granulating the outer layer component raw materials and the inner layer component raw materials respectively, and then adding them into a blow molding device, using a floating body mold and a double-layer co-extrusion blow molding method to process and make the highly reflective floating body.

[0014] In an embodiment of the present invention, the reflective filling material in the outer layer component is a hollow glass microsphere material, which is obtained by the following operation: hollow glass microspheres with an average particle size of 10 to 120 μm are mixed with a silane coupling agent at a high speed and then dried; the mass proportion of the silane coupling agent is preferably 10% to 40%.

[0015] In an embodiment of the present invention, the outer layer component further comprises an antioxidant, a light stabilizer and an anti-impact agent, and the mixing and granulation of the outer layer component raw materials comprises: mixing high-density polyethylene, linear polyethylene, reflective filler material, antioxidant, light stabilizer and anti-impact agent, and then performing multi-segment extrusion granulation at a temperature of 160 to 210° C.;

[0016] The blow ratio in the double-layer co-extrusion blow molding method is preferably 1.5 to 1.9.

[0017] The present invention provides the use of the highly reflective floating body as described above in a floating power station.

[0018] The material used for existing water surface photovoltaic floats is high-density polyethylene. Due to the limitations of the material's own performance, the reflectivity of the float surface is low and it is impossible to increase the effective illumination area on the back of the photovoltaic double-glass module.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a highly reflective floating body for water surface photovoltaics, which has two inner and outer material layers made by double-layer blow molding, wherein the outer layer components include: high-density polyethylene, linear polyethylene and reflective filling material; the inner layer components are mainly high-density polyethylene. The scheme of the present invention adopts double-layer blow molding and differentiated material formula design for the inner and outer layers. The outer layer mainly improves the surface reflectivity and toughness, and the inner layer provides a certain strength and can also increase the light barrier, thereby improving the reflectivity of the floating body, and the ultraviolet light reflectivity is above 50%, thereby effectively improving the power generation efficiency of double-glass component floating power stations, and further improving the competitiveness of the product.

[0020] In addition, the materials used are all conventional raw materials, with mature technology and convenient processing, which is conducive to product implementation. The use of the highly reflective floating body described in this solution, combined with the floating power station of double-glass components, is conducive to solving the problem of low efficiency of photovoltaic power generation, effectively increasing power generation efficiency, and reducing the cost recovery period of investors.

[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0025] The present invention provides a highly reflective floating body, which has a double-layer blow-molded main body structure, wherein the outer layer components include: high-density polyethylene, linear polyethylene and reflective filling material; the inner layer components include high-density polyethylene;

[0026] The ultraviolet light reflectivity of the highly reflective floating body is above 50%.

[0027] The present invention provides a floating body with high reflectivity and high strength, which can be applied to water surface photovoltaics to effectively improve the power generation efficiency of floating power stations and has low cost.

[0028] The main body of the floating body supporting the present invention is a double-layer blow-molded structure, which is processed by double-layer blow molding; wherein the supporting side is the outer layer and the other side is the inner layer. Figure 3 As shown, 1 is the outer layer, 2 is the hollow glass microspheres, and 3 is the inner layer. The hollow glass microspheres are evenly distributed in the outer layer structure of the float. The outer layer material is designed with high-density polyethylene, linear polyethylene, and reflective filling materials as the main components, and its main function is to increase the reflectivity; the reflective filling material is mainly a solid substance that is light-transmissive and has a certain strength, which can be an amorphous inorganic metal material or an organic glass; the present invention preferably uses hollow glass microspheres and their modified materials. As a micron-level lightweight inorganic material, hollow glass microspheres are hollow spherical particle powders, the main component of which is borosilicate, with a general particle size of 10 to 250 μm and a wall thickness of 1 to 2 μm; hollow glass microspheres have the characteristics of high compressive strength, high melting point, high resistivity, small thermal conductivity and thermal shrinkage coefficient.

[0029] The outer layer components preferably also include antioxidants, light stabilizers and impact stabilizers; preferably, the mass ratio of the outer layer material components is: 55-65 parts of high-density polyethylene, 15-25 parts of linear polyethylene, 5-15 parts of modified hollow glass microspheres, 2-5 parts of antioxidants, 5-10 parts of light stabilizers, and 1-2 parts of impact stabilizers.

[0030] Specifically, the high-density polyethylene melt index is 5-12 g / 10 min under a weight of 21.6 kg, and the density is 0.945-0.965 g / cm 3 (SABIC B5308). In addition, the linear polyethylene melt index is 0.2-3.0 g / 10 min under a weight of 2.16 kg, and the density is 0.925-0.955 g / cm 3 (SABIC CC027C).

[0031] The hollow glass microsphere material described in the preferred embodiment of the present invention has a silane-modified structure, which can be called (silane) modified hollow glass microspheres. Optionally, the preparation method of the modified hollow glass microspheres is as follows: the average particle size of the raw hollow glass microspheres is 10 to 120 μm, the hollow glass microspheres and the silane coupling agent (preferably KH550, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane) are placed in a high-speed mixer, and mixed for 5 to 10 minutes until uniform, and the mass proportion of the silane coupling agent is preferably 10% to 40%; the mixed hollow glass microspheres are placed in a thermostat and dried for 1 to 3 hours, and the temperature of the thermostat can be 50°C to 80°C. The density of the modified hollow glass microspheres is 0.2 to 0.6 g / cm 3 , the particle size range remains unchanged. The modification of hollow glass microspheres is mainly to hydrolyze the alkoxy group of the silane coupling agent to generate silanol, which then undergoes a condensation reaction with the Si-OH on the surface of the glass microspheres to form a chemical bond, thereby making the inorganic phase and the organic phase closely combined, enhancing the interface adhesion and improving the performance of the material.

[0032] Among them, the mass ratio of high-density polyethylene, linear polyethylene and hollow glass microsphere materials in the outer layer components is preferably 50-70:10-30:1-20, more preferably 55-65:15-25:5-15, such as 65:15:5, 60:20:10, 55:20:15, 56:18:16, 70:16:9, etc.

[0033] Meanwhile, the outer layer material formula of the embodiment of the present invention preferably includes: 2-5 parts by weight of antioxidant, 5-10 parts by weight of light stabilizer, and 1-2 parts by weight of impact resistance agent. The present invention preferably introduces hollow glass microsphere materials into the outer layer material formula, which can refract light through the glass microspheres while maintaining strength, and is reversely reflected by the background, thereby increasing the reflectivity.

[0034] In the embodiments of the present invention, the antioxidant may be a widely used phenolic antioxidant, or may be a phosphorus, sulfur, or other antioxidant, which mainly plays the role of delaying or inhibiting the oxidation of the polymer; antioxidant 1010 is preferred. Light stabilizers can be divided into light shielding agents, ultraviolet absorbers, quenchers, etc. according to the mechanism of action. The present invention preferably uses light stabilizer 770 (LS-770, also known as low molecular weight hindered amine light stabilizer 770). Anti-impact agents are also called impact toughening modifiers. Rubber elastomers, such as ethylene propylene rubber (EPR), etc., can be selected and applied in the embodiments of the present application; in some examples, the melt flow rate of commercially available EPR anti-impact agents is 7.5g / 10min and the density is 0.85g / cm 3 .

Preferably, the components and mass ratios of the inner layer material are: 80-90 parts of high-density polyethylene, 2-5 parts of silver masterbatch, 2-5 parts of infrared blocking agent, 2-5 parts of antioxidant, and 5-10 parts of light stabilizer.

[0036] Furthermore, the high-density polyethylene melt index of the inner layer is 5-12 g / 10 min under a weight of 21.6 kg, and the density is 0.945-0.965 g / cm 3 (SABIC B5308), which can be consistent with the outer layer. On this basis, the present invention preferably also adds one or more of silver masterbatch, infrared blocker, antioxidant and light stabilizer to the inner layer, and more preferably multiple components are compounded. For example, the inner layer components include high-density polyethylene, silver masterbatch and infrared blocker, and the mass ratio of the three is preferably 80-95:1-5:1-5, and further 80-90:2-5:2-5.

[0037] The antioxidant and light stabilizer in the inner layer of the embodiment of the present invention can be consistent with the outer layer, or they can be different. The silver masterbatch contains silver components, which can reflect ultraviolet rays; commercially available products are used, such as those with a melt flow rate of 25g / 10min and a density of 1.05g / cm 3 The infrared blocking agent is mainly an inorganic powder that can reflect infrared rays, preferably one or more of talc powder and silicon dioxide powder; talc powder is a talc powder of the magnesium silicate mineral talc family, and its main component is hydrated magnesium silicate.

[0038] In an embodiment of the present invention, the outer wall thickness of the highly reflective float is 0.2-1 mm, and the inner wall thickness is 0.5-2 mm, which is beneficial to cost control, etc. The present invention has no special restrictions on the surface features of the float, the shape and size of the connecting ears and other parts.

Preferably, the outer layer wall thickness of the obtained highly reflective float is 0.2 to 1 mm, and the inner layer wall thickness is 0.5 to 2 mm. In addition, the blow molding process conditions may include: extrusion speed 12 to 25 mm / s, mold temperature 22 to 40 ° C, and blow ratio 1.5 to 1.9.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the visible light reflectivity of the highly reflective floating body is above 50%, preferably greater than 80%, such as 90-95%.

[0045] The present invention adopts a double-layer differentiated material design, wherein the outer layer material is designed by mixing high-density polyethylene and low-density polyethylene, and preferably the hollow glass microspheres and other reflective filling materials are modified to make them better integrated and dispersed in the base material, thereby improving the reflectivity of the outer layer material. At the same time, the inner layer material is designed with a high-density polyethylene base to ensure the supporting strength of the product, and silver masterbatch and infrared blocking agents can be added to further improve the reflectivity.

[0046] Furthermore, the present invention provides the use of the highly reflective floating body as described above in a floating power station, which can improve the luminous efficiency of the power station.

[0047] In order to better understand the technical content of the present invention, the following specific examples are provided to further illustrate the present invention.
