Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of solar photovoltaic power generation technology, specifically to a photovoltaic power generation device and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] On nights with high humidity and large temperature differences between day and night, a large amount of dew will condense on the surface of photovoltaic glass. Existing technologies have been developed to collect and utilize the condensation on the surface of photovoltaic glass, but the collection effect is not good. The reason is that in recent years, in order to improve the transmittance of sunlight, a layer of anti-reflection film is usually coated on the surface of photovoltaic glass. The surface of the anti-reflection film has a rough structure, and the dust that falls on the back of the photovoltaic panel easily combines with the condensation, causing the condensation to stagnate on the surface of the anti-reflection film and making it difficult to flow down, resulting in low collection efficiency. In addition, the combination can also block the collection pipes, causing the condensation to leak out of the collection device. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a photovoltaic power generation device and its usage method, which can improve the collection efficiency of condensation and avoid pipeline blockage and condensation loss.

[0004] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

An annular bottom surface is connected between the lower edge of the filter screen and the lower edge of the second wall. Both the second wall and the bottom surface are made of waterproof material. The apex of the conical filter screen corresponds to the lower end of the first pipe. The lower end of the filter screen is fitted onto the outlet, and the bottom surface contacts the top plate of the water tank. The bottom surface is located between the outlet and the first wall. The height of the first wall, the height of the second wall, and the height of the conical filter screen decrease successively.

[0009] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the filter chamber is provided with a top cover, a first pipe is connected to the top cover, a first valve is provided on the first pipe, a second pipe and a third pipe are also connected to the top plate of the water tank, a fourth pipe is connected to the pipe between the upper port of the first pipe and the first valve, a second valve and a third valve are provided on the fourth pipe, the upper port of the second pipe is connected to the pipe between the second valve and the third valve, and the lower port of the second pipe is connected to the submersible pump at the bottom of the water tank.

[0010] As a further aspect of the present invention: a first level gauge is provided on the filter chamber, the first level gauge is inserted into the filter chamber from the top cover, the first level gauge is a contact level gauge, and the position of its lower end sensing head is lower than the height of the apex of the filter screen cone.

[0011] As a further aspect of the present invention: a fifth channel is connected to the upper cover of the filter chamber, the lower end of the fifth channel being close to the bottom surface of the filter element, and the upper end being connected to the mud pump outside the filter chamber.

[0012] As a further aspect of the present invention, it also includes a water guide channel, which is disposed on the side of the back panel away from the photovoltaic glass and is used to guide water to the lower end of the frame.

[0013] As a further aspect of the present invention: the tray is located on the side of the lower end of the frame near the back plate, and is used to collect water flowing down from the water guide channel; a through hole is provided on the bottom surface of the tray, and the through hole is connected downward to a drain pipe, the lower end of the drain pipe being connected to the upper end of the first pipe through a retractable hose.

[0014] As a further aspect of the present invention: the angle between the bottom surface of the tray and the back plate surface is 120° to 150°.

[0015] As a further aspect of the present invention, a second level gauge is provided inside the water tank. The second level gauge is a non-contact level gauge that can continuously measure the water level in the water tank.

[0016] As a further aspect of the present invention, it also includes a PLC controller, which is electrically connected to the first / second level gauge, the first / second / third valve, the submersible pump, the mud pump, and the motor that drives the frame to rotate, for operating the photovoltaic power generation device, which can make the water in the downpipe flow upward and can make the frame rotate so that the back plate tilts towards the sky.

[0017] As a further aspect of the present invention: a method of using a photovoltaic power generation device, comprising the following steps:

[0018] S1, power generation: During the sunrise to sunset period, the PLC controller manipulates the frame to rotate, so that the photovoltaic glass faces the sky and tracks the sun;

[0019] S2. Change the frame orientation. After sunset, the PLC controller manipulates the frame to rotate, so that the tilt direction of the frame changes from the photovoltaic glass facing the sky to the back panel facing the sky. When the bottom of the tray reaches the horizontal position, the rotation stops and is fixed.

[0020] S3. Collect condensation. The first valve is opened and the second valve is closed. The dew condenses on the surface of the back plate and is guided into the tray by the water guide channel. It then enters the filter chamber through the through hole, the drain pipe, the retractable hose, the first pipe, and the first valve.

[0021] S4. Water flows out from the lower end of the first pipe through the filter chamber and falls to the top of the cone-shaped filter screen. Water enters the water tank 7 through the filter screen and the outlet. Dust and other impurities that cannot pass through the filter screen slide down the cone surface and accumulate on the bottom plane.

[0022] S5. Change the frame orientation again. Before sunrise, the PLC controller manipulates the frame to rotate, so that the photovoltaic glass returns to the direction of the sky.

[0023] S6. Power generation, repeating from step S1.

[0024] During the cycle of the above steps, one or more of the following steps may be inserted depending on the operating status of the device:

[0025] S7, Utilization

[0026] Using the collected condensation, the second valve is closed and the third valve is opened, and the submersible pump works to send the water in the tank to the cleaning device to clean the surface of the photovoltaic glass.

[0027] S8, Anti-clogging and anti-leakage

[0028] In step S3, the second level gauge is in continuous working state. When condensation causes dust or other substances to block the tray through hole, the second level gauge can detect in time that if the water level in the tank does not rise within a certain period of the condensation time, the PLC controller will assume that the tray through hole is blocked according to the predetermined program. At this time, the PLC controller will operate the first valve to close, the second valve to open, and the third valve to close, and start the submersible pump to allow the water in the drain pipe to flow upward, pushing the water in the tank out from the upper port of the drain pipe, backflushing the blockage in the through hole, clearing the blockage in the tray through hole in time, and preventing water from overflowing from the tray.

[0029] In step S4, when the accumulated material rises to the point where the water level inside the filter element contacts the lower end of the sensing head of the first level gauge, the PLC controller starts the mud pump to extract the accumulated material, promptly clear the filter element blockage, and prevent water from overflowing from the filtration chamber due to the filter element blockage.

[0030] S9, Hydrating

[0031] When the second level gauge detects that the water tank is low on water, water can be added to the tank from other water sources through the third pipe until the water level reaches the specified level.

[0032] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0033] This invention improves upon existing technology by collecting condensation from the surface of photovoltaic glass to the surface of the backsheet. By incorporating water channels and trays on the backsheet surface, the efficiency of condensation collection is enhanced. Furthermore, by controlling the water flow direction to allow water in the tray's drain pipe to backflush upwards, and by installing a filter chamber and filter element, not only are the problems of collection pipe blockages solved, but also the issue of condensation loss outside the collection device are prevented. This invention recycles natural water resources and offers advantages such as simple structure, convenient maintenance, and low cost. Attached Figure Description

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, the filter chamber 8 is cylindrical and is surrounded by a first wall 81. A frustum-shaped outlet 82 is provided on the top plate 78 of the water tank inside the first wall 81. A filter element 9 is provided inside the filter chamber 8.

[0050] Filter element 9:

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the filter element 9 is cylindrical, surrounded by a second wall 91, which is parallel to the first wall 81. The cross-section of the filter element 9 is W-shaped. The conical part in the middle of the filter element 9 is a filter screen 92.

[0056] PLC controller:

[0057] The PLC controller (not shown in the figure) is electrically connected to the first / second level gauge, the first / second / third valve, the submersible pump, the mud pump, and the motor that drives the frame 1 to rotate. It is used to operate the device, including enabling the water in the downpipe 61 to flow upward and enabling the frame 1 to rotate so that the back plate tilts towards the sky. The method of rotating the frame 1 includes providing a support for the frame 1, which is driven by a motor to rotate the frame to change the orientation of the frame. The support, the motor, and the control technology can all be obtained from the prior art.

[0058] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, there are two sets of water guide channels 5. The water guide channels 5 are fishbone shaped, including a vertical main channel 51 and several inclined branch channels 52. The branch channels 52 are symmetrically distributed about the main channel 51. The branch channels of adjacent water guide channels are staggered in the vertical direction, and the cross-sections of the main channel and the branch channels are both small semicircles. The main channel 51 has a larger radius than the branch channels 52. The material of the back plate is glass. The surfaces of the main channel and the branch channels formed on the glass surface are coated with a hydrophobic coating. The hydrophobic coating is a prior art, and the coating material is usually a fluorosilane compound.

[0059] like Figure 5 As shown, the angle α between the bottom surface of the tray 6 and the surface of the back plate 4 is 120° to 150°.

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, a second level gauge 79 is also installed inside the water tank 7. The second level gauge 79 is a non-contact level gauge that can continuously measure the water level in the water tank 7. The second level gauge can be a radar level gauge or an ultrasonic level gauge, which are all existing technologies.

[0061] A method of using a photovoltaic power generation device includes the following steps:

[0062] S1. Power generation. During the sunrise to sunset period, the PLC controller manipulates the frame 1 to rotate, so that the photovoltaic glass 2 faces the sky and tracks the sun;

[0063] S2. Change the frame orientation. After sunset, the PLC controller manipulates the frame 1 to rotate, changing the tilt direction of the frame from the photovoltaic glass facing the sky to the back panel facing the sky. When the bottom surface of the tray 6 reaches the horizontal position, the rotation stops and is fixed.

[0064] At the end of this step, as Figure 5 As shown, the bottom surface of tray 6 is horizontal and the angle between it and the back plate 4 is 120° to 150°. This balances the downward flow speed of condensation and allows the tray to be in its maximum volume state, which is conducive to the full collection of water in the tray and effectively avoids the condensation from overflowing from the tray too quickly and causing loss, or from flowing too slowly and affecting the collection efficiency.

[0065] S3. Collect condensation. The first valve 70 is opened and the second valve 75 is closed. The dew condenses on the surface of the back plate 4 and is guided into the tray 6 by the water guide trough 5. It then enters the filter chamber 8 through the through hole 60, the drain pipe 61, the retractable hose 62, the first pipe 71, and the first valve 70.

[0066] In this step, the back plate 4, made of glass, has high hydrophilicity, and dew easily condenses on its surface. Then, under the action of gravity, it first flows to the support trough 52 and then collects into the main trough 51. A hydrophobic coating is applied to the surfaces of the main trough 51 and the support trough 52, which allows the condensate to flow from the support trough into the main trough without delay and quickly flow to the tray. Of course, in this step, rainwater that falls on the surface of the back plate at night can also be collected into the water tank.

[0067] S4. Through the filter chamber 8. Water flows out from the lower end of the first pipe 71 and falls to the top of the cone of the conical filter screen 92. Water enters the water tank 7 through the filter screen 92 and the outlet 82. Dust and other impurities that cannot pass through the filter screen 92 slide down the conical surface and accumulate on the bottom plane 93.

[0068] In this step, a W-shaped filter element 9 is fitted inside a cylindrical filter chamber 8. The second wall 91 is parallel to the first wall 81. The conical part in the middle of the filter element 9 is a filter screen 92. The second wall 91 and the bottom surface 93 are both made of waterproof material. The lower end of the filter screen 92 is fitted onto the outlet 82. The bottom surface 93 contacts the top plate 78 of the water tank. The bottom surface 93 is located between the outlet 82 and the first wall 81. The height of the first wall 81, the height of the second wall 91, and the height of the conical filter screen 92 are successively reduced, etc., so that water can pass smoothly through the filter chamber, while solids are retained inside the filter element cylinder.

[0069] S5. Change the frame orientation again. Before sunrise, the PLC controller manipulates frame 1 to rotate, so that the photovoltaic glass faces the sky again;

[0070] S6. Power generation. This cycle repeats from step S1.

[0071] During the cycle of the above steps, one or more of the following steps may be inserted depending on the operating status of the device:

[0072] S7. Utilize.

[0073] Using the collected condensation, the second valve 75 is closed, the third valve 76 is opened, and the submersible pump 77 operates to send water from the water tank to the cleaning device to clean the surface of the photovoltaic glass. The cleaning device can be obtained from existing technology.

[0074] S8, Anti-clogging and anti-leakage

[0075] In step S3, the second level gauge 79 is in continuous operation. When condensation or dust blocks the tray through-hole 60, the second level gauge 79 can promptly detect that if the water level in the water tank 7 does not rise within a certain time period (e.g., within 6 hours) of the condensation period, the PLC controller will, according to a predetermined program, consider the tray through-hole 60 to be blocked. At this time, the PLC controller manipulates the water flow in the drain pipe 61 to flow upward. Specifically, the first valve 70 is closed, the second valve 75 is opened, the third valve 76 is closed, and the submersible pump 77 operates, pushing the water in the water tank out from the upper port of the drain pipe 61 to backflush the blockage in the through-hole 60. The pressure of the submersible pump is sufficient to blow the blockage out of the tray, restoring the unobstructed flow of the through-hole. Preferably, this step is more effective when the photovoltaic panel glass faces the sky. This step can promptly clear the blockage in the tray through-hole, preventing water from overflowing from the tray 6 due to the blockage.

[0076] In step S4, when the accumulated material rises to the point where the water level in the filter element 9 contacts the lower end sensing head of the first level gauge 83, the PLC controller starts the mud pump to extract the accumulated material. Since the position of the lower end sensing head of the first level gauge 83 is lower than the height of the cone apex of the conical filter screen 92, the water in the filter element 9 can still flow into the water tank through the filter screen 92. This step can promptly clear the filter element blockage and prevent water from overflowing from the filter chamber 8 due to the filter element blockage.

[0077] S9, Hydration.

[0078] When the second level gauge 79 detects that the water in the water tank 7 is insufficient, water can be added to the water tank from other water sources through the third pipe 73 until the water level reaches the specified level. Other water sources include groundwater, river and lake water, tap water, etc.

[0079] Furthermore, according to the technical concept of the present invention, a tray and a drain pipe symmetrical to the tray 6 and the drain pipe 61 can also be set on the side of the lower end of the frame 1 near the photovoltaic glass panel 2. In this way, the water used to clean the photovoltaic glass panel and the rainwater that falls on the surface of the photovoltaic glass during the day can also be collected into the water tank, so that the present invention can make maximum use of the collected condensation, rainwater and cleaning water.

[0080] The foregoing has provided a detailed description of one embodiment of the present invention, but this description is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. All equivalent variations and modifications made within the scope of the claims of this invention should still fall within the patent coverage of this invention.
