Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of photovoltaic panel remote sensing cleaning, in particular to a photovoltaic panel remote sensing cleaning device and a cleaning method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As the global demand for renewable energy continues to grow, solar photovoltaic power generation systems are widely used due to their environmentally friendly and sustainable characteristics. As a key component of solar power generation systems, the surface cleanliness of photovoltaic panels directly affects the photoelectric conversion efficiency. However, during long-term outdoor operation, photovoltaic panels are prone to accumulate various types of stains on the surface, including dust, sand, bird droppings, etc. These stains will significantly reduce the light transmittance of photovoltaic panels, thereby affecting power generation efficiency.

[0003] The existing reliance on manual cleaning is not only costly but also inefficient. In addition, manual cleaning poses a safety hazard for large photovoltaic power stations or photovoltaic panels installed at high altitudes. Although fixed automatic water spray cleaning can achieve a certain degree of automation, this method consumes a lot of water and has limited cleaning effect on different types of stains. Especially in areas with scarce water resources, this method is less sustainable. Although mechanical scrubbing can provide strong cleaning power, it is easy to cause physical damage to the surface of the photovoltaic panel, affecting its service life. Summary of the invention

[0010] Preferably, a sliding plate body is installed at the bottom of the push plate, wherein the other end of the sliding plate body is connected to a tooth plate 2, and the tooth plate 2 is meshingly connected to a gear 2, wherein the inner surface of the gear 2 is fixedly connected to a gear transmission shaft rod, and the gear transmission shaft rod extends to the inner cavity of the spray gun and is connected to a baffle plate, and boosting plates are provided at both upper and lower ends of the baffle plate, and a plurality of water supply holes are provided on the surfaces of the boosting plate and the baffle plate.

The present invention drives the transmission shaft to rotate through a driving motor, thereby realizing the left and right reciprocating swing of the support plate body, thereby driving the atomizing nozzle to swing and spray cleaning water on the surface of the photovoltaic panel. This design can not only effectively cover a wider cleaning area and improve cleaning efficiency, but also better adapt to stains of different shapes and sizes to ensure more thorough cleaning. The dynamic cleaning method of the swinging cleaning component makes the cleaning process more uniform, avoiding cleaning dead corners that may be caused by spraying in a single direction, thereby improving the overall cleaning effect.

[0016] 2. The present invention uses a spray gun to spray high-pressure water flow, which can effectively remove stains with strong adhesion, especially stubborn stains that are difficult to handle with traditional cleaning methods. The impact force of the high-pressure water flow can penetrate into the tiny gaps on the surface of the photovoltaic panel and completely remove the dirt. In addition, by blocking the water supply holes on the booster plate with a baffle, the water pressure in the spray gun can be flexibly adjusted to meet different cleaning needs. This adjustable high-pressure cleaning method not only improves the cleaning effect, but also extends the service life of the equipment and reduces the risk of equipment damage caused by excessive water pressure.

[0017] 3. The present invention generates airflow through an air pump and uses a jet head to pre-purge the floating dust on the surface of the photovoltaic panel. Before using clean water, the air sweeping component can effectively remove the floating dust and light dirt on the surface, reduce the subsequent use of clean water, and improve the cleaning efficiency. This pre-cleaning function not only saves water resources, but also reduces the sewage discharge that may be generated during the cleaning process, achieving the effect of energy saving and environmental protection. The design of the air sweeping component makes the entire cleaning process more efficient and economical, and is suitable for the daily maintenance of large-scale photovoltaic panels; 4. The present invention can significantly enhance the ability to remove particularly stubborn stains by intermittently adding cleaning liquid into the spray gun through the cleaning liquid delivery component, thereby ensuring the thoroughness of the cleaning work. The addition of cleaning liquid can soften and decompose stubborn stains, making them easier to be washed away by high-pressure water flow. In addition, by adopting the intermittent delivery method of cleaning liquid, the amount of cleaning liquid can be accurately controlled according to actual needs to avoid waste. This delivery mechanism not only improves the cleaning effect, but also reduces the cleaning cost, making the entire cleaning process more economical and environmentally friendly.

[0018] Ultimately, when the swing cleaning component, pressurized cleaning section, air sweeping component, and cleaning liquid delivery component are used in combination, a set of efficient, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly photovoltaic panel remote sensing cleaning solutions can be formed. This device can not only effectively deal with various types of stains, from light floating dust to heavy stubborn stains, but also significantly reduce the dependence on water resources and detergents during the cleaning process, improving overall cleaning efficiency while also reducing operating costs. The pre-cleaning function of the air sweeping component reduces the use of subsequent cleaning water, the dynamic cleaning method of the swing cleaning component ensures the uniformity and thoroughness of cleaning, the high-pressure water flow of the pressurized cleaning section can deeply remove stubborn stains, and the intermittent delivery of the cleaning liquid delivery component further enhances the cleaning effect.

[0041] Specifically, the working principle of the photovoltaic panel remote sensing cleaning device is as follows: operate the air pump 450 to make the air flow flow into the rotating shaft 430 through the air blowing pipe 451, and use the nozzle 441 to blow away the dust on the surface of the photovoltaic panel; when removing stubborn stains on the surface of the photovoltaic panel, drive the motor 210 to work, transmit the transmission through the transmission shaft 211, and then control the support plate body 220 to drive the atomizing nozzle 620 to swing; at the same time, control the water pump 600 to draw the liquid in the water tank 110 into the water delivery pipe body 610, and spray it out in an arc shape through the atomizing nozzle 620 to remove the stubborn stains on the surface of the photovoltaic panel.

[0042] When removing particularly stubborn stains on the surface of the photovoltaic panel, the liquid is pumped into the spray gun 310 by the water pump 600, and sprayed out through the spray gun 310, and the pressurized cleaning part 300 is used to remove the stains that are not easy to fall off with high pressure; at the same time, the cleaning liquid delivery component 500 is swung by the swinging cleaning component 200, driving the plug-in push rod 520 and the push plate 530 to move, and controlling the medicine in the liquid storage cylinder 510 to be put into the spray gun 310, and mixed with the cleaning water through the spray gun 310 to form a cleaning liquid, so as to remove strong dirt; and under the influence of the plug-in push rod 520, the baffle plate 590 is driven to rotate through the gear transmission shaft rod 571, and some slots on the booster plate 580 are blocked, so as to intermittently increase the water pressure in the spray gun 310, and then the strong dirt is removed intermittently with high pressure through the nozzle part 311.

[0043] A photovoltaic panel remote sensing cleaning method comprises the following steps: S1. When facing dust and fallen leaves with low adhesion on the surface of the photovoltaic panel, operate the air pump 450 to flow air through the air blowing pipe 451 into the rotating shaft 430, and use the air jet 441 to blow dust on the surface of the photovoltaic panel; S2. When removing stubborn stains on the surface of the photovoltaic panel, the drive motor 210 is operated to drive the transmission shaft 211, and then the support plate 220 is controlled to drive the atomizing nozzle 620 to swing; S3. When the atomizing nozzle 620 is forced to swing, the water pump 600 is controlled to pump the liquid in the water tank 110 into the water delivery pipe 610, and the liquid is sprayed outward in an arc shape through the atomizing nozzle 620 to remove stubborn stains on the surface of the photovoltaic panel; S4. When removing particularly stubborn stains on the surface of the photovoltaic panel, the liquid is pumped into the spray gun 310 by the water pump 600, and sprayed out through the spray gun 310, and the pressurized cleaning unit 300 is used to remove the stains that are not easy to fall off with high pressure; S5. When the pressurized cleaning unit 300 is used to remove particularly stubborn stains, the cleaning liquid delivery assembly 500 is swung by the swing cleaning assembly 200, driving the insertion push rod 520 and the push plate 530 to move, controlling the medicine in the liquid storage cylinder 510 to be delivered into the spray gun 310, and then mixed with the cleaning water through the spray gun 310 to form a cleaning liquid to remove strong stains; S6. When removing particularly stubborn stains, under the influence of the plug-in push rod 520, the baffle plate 590 is driven to rotate through the gear transmission shaft 571 to block part of the slots on the booster plate 580, intermittently increase the water pressure in the spray gun 310, and then intermittently remove strong stains with high pressure through the nozzle part 311.

[0044] In summary, the present invention achieves the following functions and effects: 1. The present invention drives the transmission shaft to rotate through a driving motor, thereby realizing the left and right reciprocating swing of the support plate body, thereby driving the atomizing nozzle to swing and spray cleaning water on the surface of the photovoltaic panel. This design can not only effectively cover a wider cleaning area and improve cleaning efficiency, but also better adapt to stains of different shapes and sizes to ensure more thorough cleaning. The dynamic cleaning method of the swinging cleaning component makes the cleaning process more uniform, avoiding cleaning dead corners that may be caused by spraying in a single direction, thereby improving the overall cleaning effect.

[0045] 2. The present invention uses a spray gun to spray high-pressure water flow, which can effectively remove stains with strong adhesion, especially stubborn stains that are difficult to handle with traditional cleaning methods. The impact force of the high-pressure water flow can penetrate into the tiny gaps on the surface of the photovoltaic panel and completely remove the dirt. In addition, by blocking the water supply holes on the booster plate with a baffle, the water pressure in the spray gun can be flexibly adjusted to meet different cleaning needs. This adjustable high-pressure cleaning method not only improves the cleaning effect, but also extends the service life of the equipment and reduces the risk of equipment damage caused by excessive water pressure.

[0046] 3. The present invention generates airflow through an air pump and uses a jet head to pre-purge the floating dust on the surface of the photovoltaic panel. Before using clean water, the air sweeping component can effectively remove the floating dust and light dirt on the surface, reduce the subsequent use of clean water, and improve the cleaning efficiency. This pre-cleaning function not only saves water resources, but also reduces the sewage discharge that may be generated during the cleaning process, achieving the effect of energy saving and environmental protection. The design of the air sweeping component makes the entire cleaning process more efficient and economical, and is suitable for the daily maintenance of large-scale photovoltaic panels; 4. The present invention can significantly enhance the ability to remove particularly stubborn stains by intermittently adding cleaning liquid into the spray gun through the cleaning liquid delivery component, thereby ensuring the thoroughness of the cleaning work. The addition of cleaning liquid can soften and decompose stubborn stains, making them easier to be washed away by high-pressure water flow. In addition, by adopting the intermittent delivery method of cleaning liquid, the amount of cleaning liquid can be accurately controlled according to actual needs to avoid waste. This delivery mechanism not only improves the cleaning effect, but also reduces the cleaning cost, making the entire cleaning process more economical and environmentally friendly.

[0047] Ultimately, when the swing cleaning component, pressurized cleaning section, air sweeping component, and cleaning liquid delivery component are used in combination, a set of efficient, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly photovoltaic panel remote sensing cleaning solutions can be formed. This device can not only effectively deal with various types of stains, from light floating dust to heavy stubborn stains, but also significantly reduce the dependence on water resources and detergents during the cleaning process, improving overall cleaning efficiency while also reducing operating costs. The pre-cleaning function of the air sweeping component reduces the use of subsequent cleaning water, the dynamic cleaning method of the swing cleaning component ensures the uniformity and thoroughness of cleaning, the high-pressure water flow of the pressurized cleaning section can deeply remove stubborn stains, and the intermittent delivery of the cleaning liquid delivery component further enhances the cleaning effect. It has high flexibility and maintainability, and is easy to adjust and optimize according to different application scenarios to meet diverse cleaning needs.
