[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 The present invention provides a photovoltaic panel cleaning device 1000 for cleaning photovoltaic panels. The photovoltaic panel cleaning device 1000 includes a drone 200, a hanging device 300, a container 400, a controller and a nozzle 100. The hanging device 300 is connected to the drone 200, and the container 400 is installed on the hanging device 300. The controller is used to control the pressure and flow rate of the fluid output by the container 400. The nozzle 100 is arranged on the hanging device 300, and the nozzle 100 is connected to the container 400. The nozzle 100 is used to spray a gas-liquid mixture. The spray angle of the nozzle 100 is adapted to the inclination angle of the photovoltaic panel, wherein the liquid content in the gas-liquid mixture sprayed by the nozzle 100 per minute is Q1, and the gas content is Q2, which satisfies: 0.1≤Q2 / Q1≤0.5, 0≤Q1≤6L (liters).
[0048] Photovoltaic panels, also known as solar panels, are important components in solar photovoltaic power generation systems. Photovoltaic panels are power generation devices that generate direct current when exposed to sunlight. They are mainly composed of thin solid photovoltaic cells made almost entirely of semiconductor materials (such as silicon). They use the photovoltaic effect of solar cell semiconductor materials to directly convert solar radiation energy into electrical energy. In order to increase the actual area of photovoltaic panels that receive light and reduce the difficulty of the manufacturing process of photovoltaic panels, the surface of photovoltaic panels that receive light is usually a smooth plane.
[0049] Optionally, the drone 200 is used to drive the photovoltaic panel cleaning device 1000 to move above the photovoltaic panel and keep it suspended or moving. At the same time, the drone 200 can also drive the photovoltaic panel cleaning device 1000 to rotate as a whole relative to the photovoltaic panel in any direction to change the angle between the spray angle of the nozzle 100 and the inclination angle of the photovoltaic panel and the distance between the nozzle 100 and the photovoltaic panel.
[0050] Optionally, the gas-liquid mixture sprayed from the nozzle 100 is in a cone shape, and the cone has a rotationally symmetrical center line, and the extension direction of the rotationally symmetrical center line is the spray angle of the nozzle 100, and the spray angle of the nozzle 100 and the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel are the angles between the rotationally symmetrical center line and the photovoltaic panel. Optionally, the photovoltaic panel cleaning device 1000 provided by the present invention can change the spray angle of the nozzle 100 by moving and rotating the drone 200, and can also change the spray angle of the nozzle 100 by driving the nozzle 100 to rotate relative to the lower hanging device 300 through a driving motor or other structures, without limitation.
[0051] Specifically, the spray angle of the nozzle 100 and the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel can be 30°-90°, specifically 30°, 45°, 60° and 90°, etc., without limitation. Optionally, under the premise that the distance between the nozzle 100 and the photovoltaic panel remains unchanged, when the spray angle of the nozzle 100 and the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel are 90°, the contour shape of the gas-liquid mixture covering the photovoltaic panel is roughly circular (excluding the sputtering caused by the contact between the gas-liquid mixture and the photovoltaic panel). At this time, the gas-liquid mixture has a strong impact force on the photovoltaic panel, but the cleaning range is small, which is suitable for cleaning stains with strong adhesion on the photovoltaic panel, including dust, mud, water stains and mud stains. When the spray angle of the nozzle 100 and the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel are 30°, the contour shape of the gas-liquid mixture covering the photovoltaic panel is roughly elliptical (excluding the sputtering caused by the contact between the gas-liquid mixture and the photovoltaic panel). At this time, the impact force of the gas-liquid mixture on the photovoltaic panel is weak, but the cleaning range is large, and the effect of flushing away the pollutants on the photovoltaic panel is better. It is suitable for cleaning stains with less adhesion and larger solid particles on the photovoltaic panel, including sand, dust and plastic. Optionally, in the process of increasing the spray angle of the nozzle 100 and the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel from 30° to 90°, the impact force of the gas-liquid mixture on the photovoltaic panel gradually increases, the cleaning range gradually decreases, and the ability to flush pollutants away from the photovoltaic panel gradually weakens. The photovoltaic panel cleaning device 1000 provided by the present invention can select different spray angles to clean the photovoltaic panel according to the pollution situation on the photovoltaic panel, so as to achieve a better cleaning effect while reducing liquid consumption and improving cleaning efficiency.
[0052] Optionally, an electric-controlled valve is provided at the output end of the container 400, and the container 400 is connected to the nozzle 100 through the electric-controlled valve and a pipeline. The controller is electrically connected to the electric-controlled valve, and the controller changes the pressure and flow of the fluid output from the container 400 by controlling the electric-controlled valve.
[0053] Specifically, the liquid content in the gas-liquid mixture sprayed out by the nozzle 100 per minute is Q1, and the gas content is Q2, that is, the nozzle 100 sprays (Q1+Q2)L of gas-liquid mixture per minute, and has Q1L of liquid and Q2L of gas, the ratio of the gas content to the liquid content is between 0.1 and 0.5, and the maximum liquid content is 6L.
[0054] When Q1=0L and Q2≠0, that is, the nozzle 100 only sprays gas, at this time, the photovoltaic panel cleaning device 1000 is suitable for cleaning stains with less adhesion and larger solid particles on the photovoltaic panel, including dust, sand and plastic, etc., to reduce liquid consumption. When Q1=6L and Q2≠0, the water content of the gas-liquid mixture sprayed by the nozzle 100 reaches the maximum preset value. At this time, the photovoltaic panel cleaning device 1000 is suitable for cleaning stains with less adhesion and larger solid particles on the photovoltaic panel, as well as cleaning stains with greater adhesion on the photovoltaic panel, including dust, sand, mud, water stains, mud stains and plastic, etc. In the process of Q1 increasing from 0L to 6L, the cleaning intensity of the photovoltaic panel cleaning device 1000 on the stains on the photovoltaic panel gradually increases. The photovoltaic panel cleaning device 1000 can select different liquid contents of the gas-liquid mixture according to the pollution conditions on the photovoltaic panel to achieve a better cleaning effect while reducing liquid consumption and improving cleaning efficiency.
[0055] When Q1≠0, Q1 is constant, and Q2 / Q1=0.1, the liquid content in the gas-liquid mixture reaches the maximum preset value, and the gas content reaches the minimum preset value. Since the mass of the gas-liquid mixture sprayed out per minute is large and the pressure is small, the effective spray distance of the gas-liquid mixture sprayed out by the nozzle 100 is short, but the impact force on the photovoltaic panel within the effective spray distance is strong, which is suitable for cleaning stains with large adhesion on the photovoltaic panel, including dust, sand, mud, water stains, mud stains and plastics. When Q1≠0, Q1 is constant, and Q2 / Q1=0.5, the liquid content in the gas-liquid mixture reaches the minimum preset value, and the gas content reaches the maximum preset value. Since the mass of the gas-liquid mixture sprayed out per minute is small and the pressure is large, the effective spray distance of the gas-liquid mixture sprayed out by the nozzle 100 is long, but the impact force on the photovoltaic panel within the effective spray distance is weak, which is suitable for cleaning stains with small adhesion and large solid particles on the photovoltaic panel, including sand, dust and plastics. The photovoltaic panel cleaning device 1000 can select different gas-liquid content ratios of the gas-liquid mixture according to the pollution conditions on the photovoltaic panel, so as to achieve a better cleaning effect while reducing liquid consumption and improving cleaning efficiency.
[0056] In a specific embodiment, in order to ensure that the gas-liquid mixture sprayed by the nozzle 100 has an effective cleaning distance and impact force that meet the requirements of the cleaning operation and does not exceed the maximum load of the drone 200, the container 400 includes a liquid tank 401 and a gas tank 402, wherein the liquid tank 401 is loaded with 50L of liquid, the gas tank has a volume of 15L and is loaded with gas at a pressure of 35MPa, and the nozzle 100 can spray Q1=4.8L, Q2=1.44L (ie, Q2 / Q1=0.3) of the gas-liquid mixture per minute, and a single nozzle 100 can continuously spray the gas-liquid mixture for 10 minutes, so as to achieve a better cleaning effect while reducing liquid consumption and improving cleaning efficiency.
[0057] Optionally, the drone 200 can drive the nozzle 100 to stay above the photovoltaic panel for fixed-point cleaning for a longer duration, which is suitable for removing pollutants with strong adhesion on the photovoltaic panel. The drone 200 can also drive the nozzle 100 to move continuously above the photovoltaic panel. The nozzle 100 continuously or intermittently sprays a gas-liquid mixture during the movement to perform a large-scale cleaning operation on the photovoltaic panel, which is suitable for removing pollutants with less adhesion on the photovoltaic panel and situations where the pollutants on the photovoltaic panel are relatively dispersed.
[0058] Optionally, the container 400 may directly output a gas-liquid mixture to the nozzle 100, or may output a liquid and a gas to the nozzle 100 separately, and the liquid and the gas are mixed in the nozzle 100 to form a gas-liquid mixture, without limitation. Optionally, the liquid in the gas-liquid mixture may be water, a solution of a detergent and water, etc., and the gas in the gas-liquid mixture may be air, argon, helium, nitrogen, etc., without limitation.
[0059] By setting the nozzle 100 to be connected with the container 400 and used to spray the gas-liquid mixture, the spray angle of the nozzle 100 is adapted to the inclination angle of the photovoltaic panel, and the controller can change the flow rate and gas-liquid ratio of the gas-liquid mixture by controlling the pressure and flow rate of the fluid output from the container 400, so that the photovoltaic panel cleaning device 1000 can change the spray angle of the nozzle 100 and the flow rate and gas-liquid ratio of the gas-liquid mixture when cleaning the photovoltaic panel, thereby reducing the liquid consumption of the photovoltaic panel cleaning device 1000 and improving the cleaning effect of the photovoltaic panel cleaning device 1000.
[0060] Please refer to Figures 2 to 6 The nozzle 100 includes a nozzle 10, and the nozzle 10 has an injection channel 11. The injection channel 11 runs through the nozzle 10 in a first direction X. The injection channel 11 includes a first section 111, a second section 112 and a third section 113 arranged in sequence in the first direction X. The first section 111 is connected to the container 400, and the second section 112 extends along the first direction X. The first section 111 and the third section 113 are both flared. The angle between the extension direction of the inner circumferential wall of the first section 111 and the first direction X is C1, which satisfies: 7.5°≤C1≤45°. The angle between the extension direction of the inner circumferential wall of the third section 113 and the first direction X is C2, which satisfies: 45°≤C2≤50°.
[0061] Optionally, in the cross section of the nozzle 10 at any position on the first direction X, the contour shapes of the first section 111, the second section 112 and the third section 113 are all circular, elliptical, triangular and rectangular, etc., without limitation. Specifically, in the cross section of the nozzle 10 at any position on the first direction X, the contour shapes of the first section 111, the second section 112 and the third section 113 are all circular, so that the shape of the gas-liquid mixture sprayed from the nozzle 10 is conical, so that the distance between the nozzle 10 and the photovoltaic panel remains unchanged, and when the spray angle of the nozzle 10 remains unchanged, the coverage of the gas-liquid mixture on the photovoltaic panel is maximized. Optionally, in the cross section perpendicular to the first direction X, the inner wall surfaces of the first section 111, the second section 112 and the third section 113 are all straight lines, so as to reduce the resistance of the gas-liquid mixture in the spray channel 11.
[0062] Optionally, the maximum inner diameter of the first section 111 is D1, the inner diameter of the second section 112 is D2, and the maximum inner diameter of the third section 113 is D3, satisfying: D1=D3, D1 and D3 are both greater than D2, so that in the process of the gas-liquid mixture entering the second section 112 from the first section 111, the gas-liquid mixture is gradually further compressed in the first section 111, thereby increasing the spraying speed of the gas-liquid mixture, thereby improving the cleaning ability of the gas-liquid mixture, and at the same time, in the process of the gas-liquid mixture entering the third section 113 from the second section 112 and being sprayed, the gas-liquid mixture can be sprayed in a conical shape under the restriction of the inner circumferential wall of the third section 113, so that the shape of the gas-liquid mixture sprayed from the nozzle 10 is conical, so that when the distance between the nozzle 10 and the photovoltaic panel remains unchanged, and the spraying angle of the nozzle 10 remains unchanged, the coverage range of the gas-liquid mixture on the photovoltaic panel is maximized.
[0063] In a specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 The first nozzle P1 is shown. The first nozzle P1 has C1=C2=45°, D1=D3 and D1 / D2=D3 / D2=2, that is, the first section 111 and the third section 113 are symmetrically arranged relative to the second section 112. Since the first section 111 and the third section 113 are shorter in the first direction X and the second section 112 is longer in the first direction X, the gas-liquid mixture can be quickly compressed in the first section 111 and enter the second section 112 with a faster flow rate, thereby reducing the residence time of the gas-liquid mixture in the injection channel 11, which is beneficial to reducing the speed loss of the gas-liquid mixture in the injection channel 11 and improving the cleaning effect.
[0064] In another specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4The second nozzle P2 is shown, and the second nozzle P2 has C1=7.5°, C2=45°, 2<D1 / D2<3, and 5<D3 / D2<6. Since the length of the first section 111 in the first direction X is longer, and the lengths of the second section 112 and the third section 113 in the first direction X are shorter, the gas-liquid mixture is compressed while moving in the first section 111, and is mixed evenly under the restriction of the inner circumferential wall of the first section 111, and is quickly ejected through the second section 112 and the third section 113. The photovoltaic panel cleaning device 1000 can select the first nozzle P1 or the second nozzle P2 to clean the photovoltaic panel according to the pollution on the photovoltaic panel, so as to achieve a better cleaning effect while reducing the liquid consumption and improving the cleaning efficiency.
[0065] Optionally, when D1 / D2 of the nozzle 10 remains unchanged, the larger C1 is, the shorter the length of the first section 111 in the first direction X is, the shorter the time the gas-liquid mixture stays in the injection channel 11 is, the less the velocity loss of the gas-liquid mixture in the injection channel 11 is, and the stronger the impact force of the gas-liquid mixture on the photovoltaic panel is; the smaller C1 is, the longer the length of the first section 111 in the first direction X is, the longer the gas-liquid mixture stays in the injection channel 11 is, and the gas-liquid mixture is beneficial to the uniform mixing of the gas-liquid mixture in the injection channel 11.
[0066] Optionally, the coverage of the gas-liquid mixture on the photovoltaic panel can be changed by changing the angle of C2. When the distance between the nozzle 10 and the photovoltaic panel remains unchanged, the smaller the C2, the smaller the coverage of the gas-liquid mixture on the photovoltaic panel, but the longer the effective spray distance of the gas-liquid mixture, the more gas-liquid mixture is received per unit area of the photovoltaic panel, and the faster and more powerful the removal of pollutants on the photovoltaic panel; the larger the C2, the larger the coverage of the gas-liquid mixture on the photovoltaic panel, but the shorter the effective spray distance of the gas-liquid mixture, the less gas-liquid mixture is received per unit area of the photovoltaic panel, which is suitable for large-scale cleaning of photovoltaic panels. Specifically, C2 can be 45°, 46°, 47°, 48°, 49°, 50°, etc., without limitation.
[0067] By setting the nozzle 10, the nozzle 10 has a spray channel 11, the spray channel 11 penetrates the nozzle 10 in the first direction X, and the spray channel 11 includes a first section 111, a second section 112 and a third section 113 sequentially arranged in the first direction X. The first section 111 is connected to the container 400, and the second section 112 extends along the first direction X. The first section 111 and the third section 113 are both flared. The angle between the extension direction of the inner circumferential wall of the first section 111 and the first direction X is C1, which satisfies: 7.5°≤C1≤45°, and the angle between the extension direction of the inner circumferential wall of the third section 113 and the first direction X is C2, which satisfies: 45°≤C2≤50°, so that the gas-liquid mixture can be compressed under the restriction of the inner circumferential wall surface of the first section 111 when moving from the first section 111 to the second section 112, so as to increase the spraying speed of the gas-liquid mixture, and at the same time, the gas-liquid mixture is sprayed in a preset shape under the restriction of the inner circumferential wall surface of the third section 113 to adapt to different cleaning requirements.
[0068] Please refer to Figures 5 to 7 The third section 113 includes a plurality of mutually isolated sub-channels 1131, and the plurality of sub-channels 1131 are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the nozzle 10. The same end of the plurality of sub-channels 1131 in the first direction X is connected to the second section 112. From the direction from the first section 111 to the third section 113, the spacing distance between the plurality of sub-channels 1131 gradually increases.
