Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of photovoltaic production, and in particular to a surface cleaning device for photovoltaic production. Background Art

[0002] Photovoltaic, or photovoltaic power generation, is a technology that uses the photovoltaic effect of semiconductor interfaces to directly convert light energy into electrical energy. It is one of the important forms of solar energy utilization. After the existing solar cells are assembled, the debris and dust generated during the assembly process will be scattered on the surface of the solar cells. If they are packaged and stacked without cleaning, the surface of the solar cells will be scratched, affecting the normal use of the solar panels.

[0003] At present, surface cleaning equipment occupies an important position in the process of photovoltaic production and maintenance. Utility model patent CN216655436 U discloses a surface cleaning device for photovoltaic production, which includes a frame, a conveyor belt, a cleaning component and a pair of collecting components. The cleaning component is arranged at the top of the frame to clean the solar panels located on the surface of the conveyor belt; the collecting components are arranged on both sides of the frame to collect impurities cleaned out by the cleaning component. This equipment cleans the surface of the solar panel in transmission through the cleaning component, avoiding the traditional manual cleaning method, improving the cleaning efficiency, and will not produce omissions, and the cleaning effect is better. At the same time, the collecting component can automatically collect the impurities cleaned out by the cleaning component, reducing the difficulty of later maintenance.

[0004] However, although the device has achieved certain results in improving cleaning efficiency, it still has obvious limitations in practical applications. Specifically, the equipment in the above technology can only clean and collect impurities, but the cleaning effect is not ideal for fine dust or difficult-to-remove dirt remaining on the surface of photovoltaic panels. These residual dust and dirt will still affect the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar panels, thereby reducing the overall performance of photovoltaic power generation systems.

[0005] Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, we urgently need a surface cleaning device for photovoltaic production to solve this problem. This equipment should be able to more thoroughly remove dust from the surface of solar panels, improve the quality of cleaning, and maintain an efficient cleaning speed to better meet the needs of modern photovoltaic production and maintenance, and provide strong support for the sustainable development of the photovoltaic industry.
