Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ecological photovoltaic technology for sand control and desertification prevention, and in particular to an automatic sand control device utilizing ecological photovoltaics. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, new energy projects focused on ecological restoration, such as photovoltaic power generation for desertification control, are increasingly seen as a promising new investment and construction sector. To fully leverage the ecological and environmental protection benefits of new energy sources, it is crucial to vigorously promote ecological restoration projects and support the development of such projects in desertified areas. This requires considering not only the grid connection and consumption of photovoltaic power generation but also the ecological protection aspects of construction and operation. Furthermore, many photovoltaic power plants in Northwest my country are located in desert regions, and most of them suffer from severe wind and sand damage.

[0003] However, during periods of strong winds and sandstorms, the fixed solar panels may be subjected to strong winds, which can exert significant pressure and torque on their supporting structure and connecting components. This can easily lead to loosening, deformation, or even breakage of mechanical parts, rendering the entire photovoltaic system unable to function properly.

[0004] On the other hand, under severe weather conditions with strong winds and sandstorms, the photovoltaic panels are scratched by large amounts of sand and dust, resulting in reduced efficiency when collecting solar energy. This leads to insufficient power for the device to shrink the photovoltaic panels, resulting in rainwater mixed with sand and dust. The water quality deteriorates, which is not only detrimental to plant growth but may also clog irrigation pipes and equipment, further reducing the efficiency of rainwater collection. This prevents the effective utilization of already scarce water resources and seriously hinders the restoration of vegetation and the improvement of the ecological environment in desert areas. Therefore, an automatic desertification control device using ecological photovoltaics is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention proposes an automatic desertification control device utilizing ecological photovoltaics to overcome the aforementioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An automatic desertification control device utilizing ecological photovoltaics includes a water collection tank. Inside the water collection tank is a vertical plate. A lifting rack is slidably connected to the side of the vertical plate. A detection camera is mounted above the vertical plate. The lifting rack is meshed with a lifting gear. The lifting gear is rotatably connected to a fixed motor. A fourth bevel gear is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed motor. The fourth bevel gear meshes with a third bevel gear. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to one side of the third bevel gear. The connecting rod is fixedly connected to a second bevel gear. The second bevel gear meshes with a first bevel gear. A telescopic column is mounted above the first bevel gear. The telescopic column has a thick plate. A first water collection plate is rotatably connected to the side of the thick plate. A photovoltaic panel is rotatably connected to the side of the thick plate. A second water collection plate is rotatably connected to the photovoltaic panel. A monitoring mechanism for monitoring the size of sandstorms is arranged around the water collection tank. The monitoring mechanism includes a first detection plate, a second detection plate, a third detection plate, and a fourth detection plate arranged around the water collection tank.

[0008] The above technical solution further includes:

[0009] The lifting mechanism includes a stabilizing block positioned above a thick plate. A lifting arm is rotatably connected to the stabilizing block, and a sliding column is rotatably connected to the lifting arm. A support frame is fixedly connected above the sliding column, and a photovoltaic panel is rotatably connected to the support frame. The photovoltaic panel is rotatably connected to one side of the thick plate. A first and second rainwater collection plate are provided on both sides of the thick plate. During periods of strong winds and sandstorms, a linkage mechanism between a detection camera and bevel gears allows for timely detection of sandstorm conditions and a rapid response. The second and first rainwater collection plates can rotate to positions that resist sandstorms, protecting the photovoltaic panel from erosion. Simultaneously, the photovoltaic panel itself can rotate to a suitable position to reduce wind resistance.

[0010] The sliding column is slidably connected to the thick plate. The first water collection plate and the second water collection plate are respectively provided with filter screens for filtering rainwater and sand. The first water collection plate and the second water collection plate are respectively provided with transverse grooves for letting rainwater flow into the water collection tank.

[0011] One end of the first water collection plate is provided with a magnet for adsorbing onto the side of the support frame, and the edge of the second water collection plate is provided with a magnet for adsorbing onto the surface of the photovoltaic panel.

[0012] The bottom of the first bevel gear is rotatably connected to the water collection tank, and the second bevel gear is rotatably connected to the fixed block.

[0013] The lifting rack is slidably connected to a vertical plate, which is fixed above the fourth bevel gear. A detection camera is installed above the lifting rack. When sandstorms rage, the coordinated operation of the detection camera and the bevel gear plays a key role. When the plants are growing close to the expected level, they may block the effectiveness of weather observation. Therefore, the camera can be extended and retracted to observe the weather conditions at a greater distance.

[0014] The fourth bevel gear is rotatably connected to the bottom water collection tank, and the water collection tank is equipped with a first motor, which is fixedly connected to the third bevel gear.

[0015] The water collection tank is equipped with a first battery block and a second battery block for storing solar energy.

[0016] The water collection tank is equipped with an output water pump on its side to deliver water to the roots of the plant, and a drip irrigation pipe is installed on the side of the output water pump.

[0017] The drip irrigation water pipe holes are equipped with filter membranes for filtering sand and soil.

[0018] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. The retractable design of the photovoltaic panel in this invention offers significant benefits. During periods of strong winds and sandstorms, the panel can be folded over and then passed through the telescopic column into the water collection tank, reducing physical damage from wind and sand, lowering the likelihood of sand and dust accumulation, maintaining high power generation efficiency, solving the problems of wind and sand damage and efficiency reduction, ensuring stable operation of the photovoltaic power generation system, and reducing desertification control costs.

[0020] 2. When sandstorms occur, the device retracts into the water collection tank, making the structure compact and stable, reducing the impact of sandstorms, preventing structural damage, and also helping the water collection plate form a sand-proof structure to prevent sandstorms from entering the water collection tank, improving water collection quality, and solving the problems of sandstorms damaging the device structure and polluting the collected water.

The monitoring mechanism includes a first detection plate 2, a second detection plate 16, a third detection plate 17, and a fourth detection plate 18 set around the water collection tank 1.

[0030] In one embodiment, the sliding column 24 is slidably connected to the thick plate 23, and filter screens 27 for filtering rainwater and sand are respectively provided above the first water collection plate 25 and the second water collection plate 26. Horizontal grooves for letting rainwater flow into the water collection tank 1 are respectively provided inside the first water collection plate 25 and the second water collection plate 26.

[0031] In one embodiment, one end of the first water collection plate 25 is provided with a magnet for adsorbing onto the side of the support frame 30, and the edge of the second water collection plate 26 is provided with a magnet for adsorbing onto the surface of the photovoltaic panel 31.

[0032] In this embodiment, magnetic adsorption can be used to firmly fix the photovoltaic panel 31 to the surface when defending against wind and sand.

[0033] In one embodiment, the bottom of the first bevel gear 3 is rotatably connected to the water collection tank 1, and the second bevel gear 4 is rotatably connected to the fixed block 6.

[0034] In this embodiment, the photovoltaic panel 31 is rotated by the first bevel gear 3 and the second bevel gear 4, which ensures the accuracy of the angle during rotation and maximizes the light intensity received by the photovoltaic panel.

[0035] In one embodiment, the lifting rack 14 is slidably connected to the upright plate 12, the upright plate 12 is fixed above the fourth bevel gear 10, and a detection camera 15 is provided above the lifting rack 14.

[0036] In this embodiment, the detection camera 15 is used to detect the growth of plants and the budding plants, and to allow for a wide-range view of the growing plants, thereby reducing the workload of staff.

[0037] In one embodiment, the fourth bevel gear 10 is rotatably connected to the bottom water collection tank 1, and the water collection tank 1 is equipped with a first motor 8, which is fixedly connected to the third bevel gear 9.

[0038] In one embodiment, the water collection tank 1 is provided with a first battery block 21 and a second battery block 22 for storing solar energy.

[0039] In this embodiment, the basic motor function is realized through the first battery block 21 and the second battery block 22, and the excess electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic is transmitted through the cable.

[0040] In one embodiment, a water pump 19 for delivering water to the roots of the plant is provided on the side of the water collection tank 1, and a drip irrigation pipe 20 is provided on the side of the water pump 19.

[0041] In this embodiment, the water pressure is increased by the water pump 19 to increase the drip irrigation efficiency and water delivery rate, thereby ensuring the normal growth of the plants.

[0042] In one embodiment, a filter membrane for filtering sand is provided at the 20 holes of the drip irrigation water pipe.

[0043] In this embodiment, by setting holes on the surface of the drip irrigation water pipe 20, it is possible to prevent mud and sand from entering the pipe and causing blockage during drip irrigation.

[0044] The working principle of this invention, an automatic desertification control device utilizing ecological photovoltaics, is as follows: When plants are planted on the ground near the photovoltaic panel, the device first checks the battery for electrical energy. Then, the growth process of the plants is monitored by the first detection plate 2, the second detection plate 16, the third detection plate 17, and the fourth detection plate 18 arranged around the water collection tank 1. During rainfall, the first detection plate 2, the second detection plate 16, the third detection plate 17, and the fourth detection plate 18 can rotate the first motor 8 based on the detected rainfall amount. The rotation of the second bevel gear 4 and the telescopic column 5 further controls the rotation of the second water collection plate 26 and the first water collection plate 25 on both sides of the photovoltaic panel 31 to the optimal rain collection angle. Finally, the motor inside the thick plate 23 rotates the second water collection plate 26 and the first water collection plate 25, further increasing the rainwater collection volume.

[0045] On sunny days, the photovoltaic panel 31 can be lifted by rotating the stabilizing block 28, which in turn drives the lifting arm 29 to control the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel 31. The first detection plate 2, the second detection plate 16, the third detection plate 17, and the fourth detection plate 18 around the water collection tank 1 can control the rotation of the photovoltaic panel 31 by the intensity of sunlight exposure, thereby increasing the solar energy conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic panel 31.

[0046] During water collection, water is transported to the water collection tank 1 through the horizontal grooves inside the photovoltaic panel 31. Then, the output water pump 19 detects the plant based on the first detection plate 2, the second detection plate 16, the third detection plate 17, and the fourth detection plate 18, and distributes water according to the plant's growth momentum by raising and lowering the detection camera 15. When the detection camera 15 is detecting, the rotation of the first motor 8 can further drive the third bevel gear 9 and the fourth bevel gear 10 to mesh, thereby realizing the rotation of the detection camera 15. When the detection camera 15 detects, it briefly drives the photovoltaic panel 31 to rotate, thereby achieving the most efficient water collection effect. Therefore, the sand control device can be observed during rainy days. If the sand volume is large, the fourth bevel gear 10 rotates, driving the third bevel gear 9 to rotate. The detection camera 15 above the fourth bevel gear 10 remotely observes the weather. When the wind blows around the water collection tank 1, if it is strong, the second water collection plate 26 flips over to cover the surface of the photovoltaic panel 31, and the first water collection plate 25 rotates to block the photovoltaic panel 31. If the sandstorm is strong, the 10 rotates, causing the photovoltaic panel 31 to rotate until the bottom edge is attached to the upper edge of the water collection tank 1. The telescopic column 5 descends to fit inside the water collection tank 1. When the sandstorm ends, the telescopic column 5 rises, and the second water collection plate 26 and the first water collection plate 25 rotate to block the sandstorm.
