[0019] The specific implementation of the present disclosure is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described herein is only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and is not used to limit the present disclosure.

[0020] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, "inside" and "outside" refer to the inside and outside of the contour of the corresponding component. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" used in the present disclosure are to distinguish one element from another and have no order or importance. In addition, when the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0021] according to Figures 1 to 4As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a photovoltaic component for agriculture, which can realize cleaning of photovoltaic panels 4 and irrigation of ground crops. The photovoltaic component may include a photovoltaic panel 4, a photovoltaic panel bracket 1, a spray mechanism 2 and a driving mechanism. The photovoltaic panel bracket 1 may include a mounting frame 10 for mounting the photovoltaic panel 4 and a supporting leg 11 connected to the mounting frame 10, and the support leg 11 is formed with a accommodating cavity 110 connected to the outside. The spray mechanism 2 may include a spray pipe 20 partially located in the accommodating cavity 110 and extending to the outside of the accommodating cavity 110. The driving mechanism is at least partially located in the accommodating cavity 110 and is drivingly connected to the spray pipe 20, and is used to drive the spray pipe 20 to move along the extension direction of the supporting leg 11, so that the spray pipe 20 can at least partially move above the photovoltaic panel 4 to clean the photovoltaic panel 4 and can move below the photovoltaic panel 4 to irrigate the ground crops.

[0022] Through the above technical solution, the spray pipe 20 is partially located in the accommodating cavity 110 and the driving mechanism is at least partially located in the accommodating cavity 110, so as to improve the utilization of the internal space of the supporting leg 11, which can effectively reduce the occupation of the cultivated area of ​​the crop field, and is beneficial to improving the space utilization rate, so that the photovoltaic module disclosed in the present invention can be set in a relatively harsh or narrow environment, and has better environmental adaptability.

[0023] The extending direction of the supporting leg 11 may be a vertical direction.

[0024] The structure of the support leg 11 can be adaptively adjusted according to the actual needs. For example, the support leg 11 can be constructed as a hollow cylinder, and the side wall of the hollow cylinder can be provided with a notch extending in the vertical direction to form a receiving cavity connected to the outside, and the spray pipe 20 can move in the vertical direction along the notch under the action of the driving mechanism. This disclosure does not make specific limitations on this.

[0025] In some possible implementations, for example, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the number of the supporting legs 11 can be multiple, for example, four or six, and the multiple supporting legs 11 are arranged at intervals and connected to the bottom wall of the mounting frame 10, for supporting the mounting frame 10, and at least one supporting leg 11 is installed with a spray mechanism 2 and a driving mechanism. In the above manner, when it is necessary to improve the cleaning and irrigation effect and area, the spray mechanism 2 and the driving mechanism can be installed on multiple supporting legs 11. The present disclosure is not limited to this.

[0026] In some possible implementations, for example, referring to Figures 1 to 4As shown, the spray mechanism 2 may include a telescopic hose 21 connected to the spray pipe 20 at one end, the telescopic hose 21 is located in the accommodating chamber 110 and connected to the water inlet valve 6 at one end, and the end of the spray pipe 20 away from the telescopic hose 21 extends to the outside of the support leg 11. The water inlet valve 6 is used to connect an external water pump to deliver water to the spray pipe 20 through the water pump to achieve spraying. When the driving mechanism drives the spray pipe 20 to move, the telescopic hose 21 connected to the spray pipe 20 can be extended and retracted under the drive of the spray pipe 20 to ensure the normal water delivery operation, and has more stability and safety in use.

[0027] The water inlet valve 6 can be constructed in any suitable manner. For example, the water inlet valve 6 can be constructed as a three-way valve to achieve two-way water delivery and ensure sufficient water delivery. It is also possible to select any side of the three-way valve for water delivery according to actual needs. The water inlet valve 6 can also be constructed as a one-way valve or a stop valve, etc. The present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0028] In some possible implementations, for example, referring to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the spray pipe 20 may include a first pipe section 200 located in the accommodating cavity 110 and connected to the telescopic hose 21 at one end, a second pipe section 201 connected to the other end of the first pipe section 200 and extending to the outside of the supporting leg 11, and a third pipe section 202 connected to the second pipe section 201 and arranged vertically with the second pipe section 201. The second pipe section 201 and the third pipe section 202 are arranged to change the direction of water flow. The arrangement of the second pipe section 201 can make the third pipe section 202 avoid the mounting frame 10. The third pipe section 202 is arranged vertically with the second pipe section 201, so that when the driving mechanism drives the spray pipe 20 to move to the highest point, the third pipe section 202 can be at least partially located above the photovoltaic panel 4, so as to achieve cleaning of the photovoltaic panel 4.

[0029] It should be noted that the highest point may be the position of the spray pipe 20 corresponding to the maximum length of the telescopic hose 21 when fully stretched, or the position of the spray pipe 20 when it moves upward and abuts against the top of the notch on the side wall of the support leg.

[0030] The second pipe segment 201 may further include a first bending portion 2010 and a second bending portion 2011. The first bending portion 2010 is used to change the extension direction of the second pipe segment 201 so that the third pipe segment 202 connected to the second pipe segment 201 can avoid the mounting frame 10. The second bending portion 2011 is used to further change the extension direction of the second pipe segment 201 so that the third pipe segment 202 connected to the second pipe segment 201 can extend in a vertical direction.

[0031] The telescopic hose 21 may be constructed in any suitable manner, for example, the telescopic hose 21 may be a corrugated tube. The present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0032] Optionally, a spray head 5 may be provided at one end of the third pipe section 202 away from the second pipe section 201 to expand the spraying area.

[0033] The nozzle 5 may be constructed in any suitable manner. For example, the nozzle 5 may be a water mist nozzle or a water sprinkler nozzle for spraying in the circumference of the nozzle 5 , but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0034] In some possible implementations, for example, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the driving mechanism may include a transmission mechanism 30 and a driving member 31. The transmission mechanism 30 may include a slider 300, a traction member 301, a first transmission member 302 and a second transmission member 303. The first transmission member 302 and the second transmission member 303 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the extension direction of the support leg 11. The first transmission member 302 is connected to the output end of the driving member 31. The spray pipe 20 is fixedly connected to the slider 300. For example, the spray pipe 20 can pass through the slider 300. One end of the traction member 301 is connected to the top wall of the slider 300, and the other end is wrapped around the first transmission member 302 and passed through the slider 300, and then wrapped around the second transmission member 303 and connected to the bottom wall of the slider 300. In the above manner, the space occupied in the accommodating chamber 110 can be reduced, and the driving member 31 is used to drive the first transmission member 302 to drive the traction member 301 to adjust the position of the slider 300 along the extension direction of the support leg 11, so that the spray pipe 20 can move between the top and bottom of the photovoltaic panel 4 driven by the slider 300 to clean the photovoltaic panel 4 and irrigate the crops on the ground. The traction member 301 can reduce the space occupied inside the support leg 11.

[0035] The first transmission member 302 and the second transmission member 303 may be constructed in any suitable manner, for example, the first transmission member 302 may be constructed as a winding drum, and the second transmission member 303 may be constructed as a fixed pulley, or the first transmission member 302 may be constructed as a reel with a rope groove, and the second transmission member 303 may be constructed as a winding drum or a rotating shaft. The present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0036] The traction member 301 may be constructed in any suitable manner, for example, the traction member 301 may also be constructed as a rope or a steel wire. The present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0037] Optionally, the first transmission member 302 may be located above the second transmission member 303, and the slider 300 may be located between the first transmission member 302 and the second transmission member 303. Of course, the second transmission member 303 may also be located above the first transmission member 302, and the driving member 31 may be drivingly connected to any one of the first transmission member 302 and the second transmission member 303, and the spray pipe 20 may also be driven. The present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0038] Optionally, the driving member 31 may be disposed on the outer wall of the supporting leg 11 , and the driving end of the driving member 31 passes through the outer wall of the supporting leg 11 and is drivingly connected to the first transmission member 302 , so that an operator can operate the driving member 31 .

[0039] The structure of the driving member 31 can be adaptively adjusted according to the needs of actual conditions. For example, the driving member 31 can be constructed as a driving motor, or as a hand crank connected to the first transmission member 302 or the second transmission member 303 through a rotating shaft, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
