Description

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photovoltaic systems, and in particular to a photovoltaic system. Background Art

[0002] Photovoltaic panels are the core equipment for converting solar energy into electricity and are widely used in solar power generation systems. To ensure efficient power generation, the surface of photovoltaic panels must be kept clean. Dust, stains, or other obstructions on the surface of the panels can obstruct effective sunlight, significantly reducing the efficiency of photoelectric conversion. Especially in outdoor environments, where photovoltaic panels are exposed to air for long periods of time, they are prone to accumulation of contaminants such as dust and bird droppings. This contaminant not only reduces power generation performance but can also accelerate equipment aging. Therefore, regular and effective cleaning of the panel surface is essential to ensure the long-term and efficient operation of photovoltaic systems.

[0003] Currently, photovoltaic panel cleaning technology typically uses a combination of water washing and a roller brush. While this method effectively removes general dust and minor stains, it often lacks effectiveness against stubborn stains like bird droppings. Even after roller brush cleaning, these stubborn stains may remain on the panel surface, continuously impacting the panel's power generation efficiency. Therefore, existing cleaning technologies are unable to completely remove stubborn stains, and improvements are urgently needed to enhance cleaning effectiveness and system performance.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, "and / or" in the full text includes three solutions.

In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, and must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is mutually contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0042] The present invention provides a photovoltaic system.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1 to 6As shown, the photovoltaic system includes a photovoltaic bracket 1, a photovoltaic panel 2, a stain detection component 3, a cleaning component 4 and a controller (not shown);

[0044] The photovoltaic panel 2 is arranged on the photovoltaic bracket 1;

[0045] The stain detection component 3 includes a light source generator 31 and a light signal receiver 32, which are respectively provided on the photovoltaic bracket 1 and located on opposite sides of the photovoltaic panel 2. The light source generator 31 is used to generate a light beam propagating along the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2, and the light signal receiver 32 is used to receive the light beam.

[0046] The cleaning assembly 4 includes a rolling brush 41 and a wiping member 42 movably provided on the photovoltaic support 1 , and the wiping member 42 is used for reciprocating wiping at a preset position of the photovoltaic panel 2 ;

[0047] The controller is electrically connected to the optical signal receiver 32, the roller brush 41 and the wiping member 42 respectively. The controller is used to judge the stain condition of the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2 according to the signal transmitted by the optical signal receiver 32, and selectively control the roller brush 41 or the wiping member 42 to clean the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2 based on the judgment result.

[0048] It should be noted that the expression "a light beam propagating along the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2" refers to the light beam emitted by the light source generator 31 propagating parallel or nearly parallel to the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2, rather than perpendicular to the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2. This means that the light beam propagates horizontally or vertically along the entire surface area of ​​the photovoltaic panel 2, and is used to detect whether there are any obstructions (such as dust or stains) on the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2. The rolling brush 41 and the wiping member 42 can be driven to move or rotate by a motor system.

[0049] Specifically, the photovoltaic support 1 is a structure used to support the photovoltaic panel 2. It can take the form of a frame structure, a fixed bracket, or an adjustable support system. The photovoltaic panel 2 is a component that converts solar energy into electrical energy and is composed of multiple photovoltaic panels. The stain detection assembly 3 includes a light source generator 31 and a light signal receiver 32. The light source generator 31 can be a device that generates a light beam, such as a laser generator or LED light source, while the light signal receiver 32 can be a device that receives and detects a light beam, such as a photodiode or a light sensor. The cleaning assembly 4 includes a roller brush 41 and a wiper 42. The roller brush 41 is a rotating brush that can be made of bristles, sponge, or other cleaning materials. The wiper 42 is used to wipe the surface and can be made of fabric, a rubber scraper, or other high-friction material. The controller receives sensor signals and controls the operation of the cleaning assembly 4. It can be a single-chip microcomputer, a PLC (programmable logic controller), or other microcontroller system.

[0050] In this embodiment, the controller determines whether there is any dirt on the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2 by analyzing the signal transmitted by the optical signal receiver 32 (for example, whether the detected light beam is blocked). If the signal indicates that the light beam is blocked, the controller will assume that there is stubborn dirt and trigger the wiper 42 to clean the corresponding location. If the signal is transmitted normally, it means that the surface is relatively clean or only slightly soiled, and the controller will trigger the roller brush 41 to perform regular cleaning. This intelligent selection mechanism triggers different cleaning tools based on the changes in the state of the optical signal.

[0051] It is not difficult to understand that the photovoltaic system of the present invention generates and receives a light beam propagating along the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2 through the light source generator 31 and the light signal receiver 32, and detects the surface cleanliness condition of the photovoltaic panel 2. If the light signal receiver 32 does not receive the light beam, it indicates that stubborn stains (such as bird droppings) are blocking the light, and the system will automatically start the wiping member 42 to perform targeted cleaning on the area. If the propagation of the light beam is not blocked, it means that the surface stains are light or there are no stains. At this time, the controller triggers the roller brush member 41 to perform routine comprehensive cleaning. Through this combination of intelligent detection and selective cleaning, the system can flexibly select the appropriate cleaning tool according to different stain types, ensuring efficient and accurate cleaning, avoiding the residue of stubborn stains and unnecessary repeated cleaning.

[0052] Optionally, the photovoltaic bracket 1 includes a support frame 11, a first strip frame 12 and a second strip frame 13, and the photovoltaic panel 2 is installed on the support frame 11;

[0053] The first strip frame 12 and the second strip frame 13 extend in parallel and are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the support frame 11;

[0054] The light source generator 31 is provided on the first strip frame 12, and the light source generator 31 extends in the length direction of the first strip frame 12, and the light emitting area of ​​the light source illuminator covers the entire support frame 11;

[0055] The optical signal receiver 32 is disposed on the second bar-shaped frame 13 . The optical signal receiver 32 extends in the length direction of the second bar-shaped frame 13 . The receiving area of ​​the optical signal receiver 32 covers the entire support frame 11 .

[0056] As will be appreciated, the light source generator 31 and optical signal receiver 32 are mounted on the opposing first and second strip frames 12, 13, covering the entire area of ​​the support frame 11. This design achieves comprehensive coverage of the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2, allowing the light beam to detect stains or obstructions anywhere on the panel 2, ensuring accurate and complete detection. Compared to solutions that do not employ this strip frame structure, this embodiment can more accurately detect the presence of stains on the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2 and make timely cleaning decisions, thereby improving detection comprehensiveness and cleaning efficiency.

[0057] Optionally, the light source generator 31 includes a plurality of light emitting units 311 spaced apart along the length direction of the first strip frame 12, and each of the light emitting units 311 can be independently controlled to be turned on or off;

[0058] The optical signal receiver 32 includes a plurality of receiving units 321 spaced apart along the length direction of the second bar-shaped frame 13 , and the plurality of receiving units 321 correspond one-to-one to the plurality of light-emitting units 311 .

[0059] The controller is electrically connected to each of the receiving units 321 .

[0060] Specifically, each light-emitting unit 311 can be an independently controlled light source, such as an LED or laser. These units are spaced apart along the length of the first bar frame 12 and can emit light beams individually or synchronously. The receiving units 321 are components of the optical signal receiver 32. They correspond one-to-one with the light-emitting units 311 and are capable of receiving the light beams emitted by the corresponding light-emitting unit 311. Each receiving unit 321 can also independently detect and transmit the received signal.

[0061] It can be understood that a fixed light beam propagation path is formed between each light-emitting unit 311 and the corresponding receiving unit 321, and the controller can monitor the status of each light beam. If a light beam encounters a stain blockage on the propagation path, the receiving unit 321 will detect the interruption of the light signal, and the controller will determine which specific path is blocked based on the feedback information. This sophisticated detection mechanism allows the system to clean only the area corresponding to the blocked light beam, without the need to indiscriminately clean the entire photovoltaic panel 2. For example, if the light beam on a specific path is blocked, the controller will trigger the wiping member 42 or roller brush member 41 at the corresponding position for local cleaning, without the need to clean the areas covered by other light beam paths. This not only improves the cleaning efficiency, but also saves energy and cleaning resources, and avoids excessive cleaning of the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2.

[0062] Optionally, the support frame 11 has a length direction and a width direction;

[0063] The rotating shaft of the rolling brush member 41 is parallel to the length direction of the support frame 11. The cleaning assembly includes a first walking member 43 provided at one extending end of the rolling brush member 41, and a second walking member 44 provided at the other extending end of the rolling brush member 41. The first walking member 43 and the second walking member 44 can respectively abut against two opposite side edges of the support frame 11 and can move in the width direction of the support frame 11 to drive the rolling brush member 41 to move and clean the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2.

[0064] The light source generator 31 is disposed on a side of the first moving member 43 facing away from the second moving member 44 , and the optical signal receiver 32 is disposed on a side of the second moving member 44 facing away from the first moving member 43 .

[0065] Specifically, the support frame 11 has a length direction and a width direction, and the rotating shaft of the roller brush member 41 is parallel to the length direction of the support frame 11. That is, the roller brush member 41 is arranged along the long side direction of the photovoltaic panel 2, and its rotation is to perform a rotary cleaning operation around an axis parallel to the long side of the photovoltaic panel 2. The two ends of the roller brush member 41 are respectively connected to the first running member 43 and the second running member 44. These running members are located on both sides of the roller brush member 41 and are used to support and push the roller brush member 41 to move in the width direction of the photovoltaic panel 2. The first running member 43 and the second running member 44 are in contact with the opposite side edges of the support frame 11 to ensure that the running members move along the width direction (transverse direction) of the photovoltaic panel 2, so as to drive the roller brush member 41 to cover the entire surface of the photovoltaic panel 2 for cleaning. The running members are connected to the support frame 11 through mechanical devices (such as slide rails and guide wheels) so that their movement in the width direction is smooth and precise.

[0066] It's easy to understand that by aligning the axis of rotation of the roller brush 41 with the length of the photovoltaic panel 2, the roller brush 41 extends in the direction of light beam propagation. This design has the beneficial effect of aligning the direction of the light beam emitted by the light source as the roller brush 41 cleans the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2, thereby preventing the roller brush 41 from blocking or interfering with the light beam during the cleaning process. This allows the system to monitor the cleanliness of the photovoltaic panel 2 in real time during light beam propagation, while simultaneously cleaning the surface of the panel 2 through the rotation of the roller brush 41.

[0067] Optionally, the cleaning assembly 4 includes an upper strip frame 45 and a lower strip frame 46, the two ends of the upper strip frame 45 are respectively fixed to the first walking member 43 and the second walking member 44, and the lower strip frame 46 is respectively fixed to the first walking member 43 and the second walking member 44;

[0068] The upper strip frame 45, the roller brush member 41 and the lower strip frame 46 are arranged at intervals in the width direction of the support frame 11;

[0069] The wiping member 42 includes a plurality of wiping heads 421, at least one of the wiping heads 421 is rotatably provided on the upper strip frame 45 and is located on a side of the upper strip frame 45 close to the support frame 11, and at least one of the wiping heads 421 is rotatably provided on the lower strip frame 46 and is located on a side of the lower strip frame 46 close to the support frame 11.

[0070] In this embodiment, the wiping head 421 can be a rotating cloth, sponge or rubber head, and its rotation is driven by a motor arranged on the corresponding strip frame.

[0071] It can be understood that the upper strip frame 45, the roller brush 41 and the lower strip frame 46 are arranged at intervals in the width direction, and the upper strip frame 45 and the lower strip frame 46 are respectively located on both sides of the roller brush 41, thereby achieving a more efficient multi-level cleaning effect. When the cleaning component 4 moves along the width direction of the photovoltaic panel 2, the front wiping head 421 first cleans the photovoltaic panel 2. If there are still stains on the photovoltaic panel 2 or the cleaning is not thorough, the rear wiping head 421 can wipe it again. In this way, there is no need to move the cleaning component 4 back and forth to ensure that the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2 is completely clean. Since the wiping heads 421 are respectively arranged on both sides of the roller brush 41, this design can complete multiple cleanings in a single movement, avoiding the situation where the roller brush 41 or the wiping member 42 needs to return to the starting point for repeated cleaning after cleaning, thereby improving cleaning efficiency.

[0072] Optionally, an upper water inlet channel 451 is formed on the upper strip frame 45, and a plurality of upper water spray holes 452 are provided on the upper strip frame 45 respectively connected to the upper water inlet channel 451, and the plurality of upper water spray holes 452 are arranged at intervals in the length direction of the upper strip frame 45;

[0073] A lower water inlet channel 461 is formed in the lower strip frame 46 , and a plurality of lower water spray holes are provided on the lower strip frame 46 , respectively connected to the lower water inlet channel 461 . The plurality of lower water spray holes are arranged at intervals in the length direction of the lower strip frame 46 .

[0074] By providing water inlet channels and spray holes in the upper and lower strips 45 and 46, respectively, the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2 can be sprayed with water from multiple angles during the cleaning process. The upper and lower spray holes 452 are spaced apart along the length of the connecting frame, allowing the water flow to cover the entire surface area of ​​the photovoltaic panel 2. As the cleaning assembly 4 moves, the upper and lower spray holes 452 can simultaneously spray water from different directions, effectively softening stubborn stains on the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2 and enabling the subsequent roller brush 41 and wiper 42 to complete the cleaning task more easily.

[0075] Optionally, the first walking member 43 includes a first shell 431 and a first driving motor 432 disposed in the first shell 431 , and one of the output shaft of the first driving motor 432 and the end of the roller brush member 41 passes through the first shell 431 to be connected to the other.

[0076] The installation of the drive motor ensures that the roller brush 41 can move in the width direction while rotating stably, thus maintaining a consistent cleaning effect when cleaning the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2. Compared with traditional designs driven by external transmission devices, this solution simplifies the drive structure by integrating the motor directly into the running element, reducing wear and energy loss between components, and further improving the cleaning efficiency and stability of the system.

[0077] Optionally, a rotatable abutment wheel 433 is provided on the side wall of the first shell 431 close to the support frame 11, and the rotating axis of the abutment wheel 433 extends in the thickness direction of the support frame 11. The first shell 431 abuts against the side edge of the support frame 11 through the peripheral wall of the abutment wheel 433.

[0078] Through the support and guidance of the abutment wheel 433, the walking member can move more smoothly along the width direction of the support frame 11 during the movement process, reducing the friction and resistance that may occur during the movement.

[0079] Optionally, a rotatable walking wheel 434 is provided on the side wall of the first shell 431 close to the second walking member 44, and the rotating shaft of the walking wheel 434 is parallel to the rotating shaft of the roller brush member 41. The rotating shaft of the walking wheel 434 is transmission-connected to the output shaft of the first drive motor 432, and the outer peripheral wall of the walking wheel 434 is connected to the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2.

[0080] The travel wheel 434 is designed to contact the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2 and is driven to rotate by the first drive motor 432, effectively propelling the cleaning assembly 4 across the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2. The rotation axis of the travel wheel 434 is parallel to the rotation axis of the roller brush 41, which means that the movement direction of the cleaning assembly 4 is consistent with the working direction of the roller brush 41, ensuring synchronization and coordination of the cleaning process. In addition, the travel wheel 434 is driven by the drive motor, providing stable movement power for the cleaning assembly 4 during the cleaning process, ensuring that the cleaning operation covers the entire surface of the photovoltaic panel 2.

[0081] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention.
