Abstract
Description
[0001] Field: Search according to the International Patent Classification Table Field: A47L15 / 08 Background technology: There are more and more energy storage electricity and lighting equipment using solar energy, such as street lights, field lighting fixtures, etc., throughout urban and rural areas (some solar panels are the power source of a device, and the installation structure is installed as an integrated whole). Solar panels are sometimes covered by dust, leaves, winter frost, and snow, which affect the absorption of light brightness and thus the power generation. A solar panel cleaner using a friction rod installed on the head, N stainless steel or plastic pipes connected to the bottom for rotating threaded connection, a built-in plastic hose, and a water pump as the power source. The handheld combination device is used to solve the pollution problems of dust and leaves on various solar panels. Summary of the invention
[0002] 1. Make a round friction rod, which consists of an inner tube and an outer tube. The materials can be polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene and other plastic materials. The material is extruded into one piece by a mold, including: 1. 90-degree inner tube: One end of the 90-degree inner tube has a water inlet hole connected to the flange of the plastic hose, and the other end has a closed end with a processed drip hole. Figure 2-1 . 2 The 90 degree outer tube consists of two parts: 1. a threaded connecting tube, a rag limit flange, an outer tube with internal threads and a sealing gasket groove, and Figure 2-2 3. One end of the 90-degree outer pipe has the same diameter as the other end, and one end is closed. A drip hole is machined around the closed end. The inner thread of the outer pipe at this end is connected to the outer thread of the 90-degree outer pipe at the other end. 2. Put the rag on the outer pipe connecting the pipe with the drip hole. Figure 2-3 Then use the installation rag (custom rag, the size of the rag is the same as the outer tube diameter) to connect the outer tube to the attached Figure 2 On the outer tube, connect the inner thread of the outer tube with the 90-degree outer thread of the inner tube, and tighten it. Figure 2-3 , install to form a complete friction rod. Figure 1 3. Install the plastic hose: 1 Install the plastic hose from top to bottom, first connect the attached Figure 2 2. After the hand-held outer tube is installed, connect the plastic hose to the valve.
[0003] 4. Install the hand-held outer tube: Pass the installed hose through the first section of the threaded outer tube. Figure 2-2 Connect the pipe thread and tighten it, one by one until the required length is installed, and then connect the plastic hose to the valve.
[0004] 5. Make a water container and install a water pump (manual or electric can be based on the needs of the site, the manual water pump is a plunger pump). Set a valve on the pipeline and connect the plastic hose to the valve to form a complete water supply and pressure system. Install it on a platform to facilitate transportation by vehicle and move it to the work site. Figure 3 The diameters of the six friction rods, white steel pipes, and plastic pipes should match and be selected according to the cleaning site environment. Due to the different sizes of solar panels and different heights of panels on site, the friction rods can be made into sizes of φ30×300㎜, φ40×400㎜, φ50×600㎜, φ60×1000㎜, etc. The handheld white steel and plastic outer tubes should be φ25×1200, 32×1200, 40×1200. The specifications are appropriate.
[0005] The φ70×1000㎜ friction rod is changed to a T-shaped intermediate water supply structure, which is suitable for cleaning large solar panels. The φ70×1000㎜ inner tube is extruded and then processed with fine holes, and the outer tube is processed with fine holes after forming, and then the attached Figure 4 Assemble. Figure 4 8. The technical solution of the present invention is applicable to the cleaning of solar panels of various specifications. Friction rods of different sizes are made according to different panels. Large-sized friction rods are made for large areas, and small-sized friction rods are made for small areas. It can be operated by one person, or installed on a car and operated by two or three people, depending on the location and the person. Experiments have shown that the solar panel can be cleaned with just one reciprocating motion.

[0007] Specific implementation method: 1. Install the rag on the friction rod. Figure 23. Connect the outer tube of 90 degrees to 2 through threads. Note that the sealing gasket should be installed first. 2. Install one end of the plastic hose and connect it to the flange of the 90-degree inner tube and fix it. 3. Pass the plastic hose through the outer tube and install it on the flange of the inner tube of the friction rod and fix it. 4. Pass the plastic hose through the outer tube in turn, rotate it according to the thread to connect the outer tube, and install it to the required length. 5. Fix the water pump on one side of the water container and connect it with a pipe. 6. Install a valve on the other side of the water pump, and connect the pipe to the valve. 7. Install a plastic hose on one side of the valve. 8. Use order: fill the container with water, and use the power of the water pump to generate pressure (the manual water pump is a plunger pump, and the electric water pump is a centrifugal pump). Open the valve to let the water go along the plastic hose to the cleaning friction rod. The manual friction rod reciprocates on the solar panel to complete the panel cleaning work.
