Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photovoltaic panel body protection, and in particular to a self-cleaning solar photovoltaic panel protection device. Background Art

[0002] Snow removal and protection of solar panels is a key measure to ensure the efficient operation of solar power generation systems in winter. In winter, snowfall will cover the solar panels, affecting their ability to absorb sunlight and thus reducing power generation efficiency. Therefore, it is crucial to take effective snow removal and protection measures.

[0003] After searching, the Chinese patent with the announcement number CN212486453U discloses a photovoltaic panel body with a snow removal device, including a photovoltaic panel body group body and a snow removal device installed on the photovoltaic panel body group body, the snow removal device includes an upper rotating shaft, a lower rotating shaft, a rotating shaft bracket, a synchronous wheel, a synchronous belt, a snow scraper, a snow scraper pull-down mechanism and a snow scraper rebound mechanism, wherein the top and bottom of the photovoltaic panel body group body are respectively provided with an upper rotating shaft and a lower rotating shaft, and a synchronous wheel is fixed at each end of the upper rotating shaft and the lower rotating shaft. The two synchronous wheels located on the same side of the photovoltaic panel body group body are synchronously connected by a synchronous belt, and the two ends of the snow scraper are respectively fixed to the two synchronous belts. The above scheme utilizes the rotating shaft, the synchronous wheel, the synchronous belt, the snow scraper and the snow scraper pull-down mechanism to achieve simultaneous snow removal of multiple photovoltaic panel bodies. The snow scraper rebound mechanism enables the snow scraper to automatically return to the initial position at the top of the photovoltaic panel body group body, without the need for manual operation by the staff, which greatly improves the snow removal efficiency and thus improves the photoelectric conversion efficiency. However, the above scheme still has the following shortcomings when used in practice:

[0004] The above scheme uses a simple scraping action to scrape off the snow layer covering the surface of the photovoltaic panel body. The scraping action is achieved by a scraping strip, and the scraping strip is slender as a whole. When using a slender scraping strip to scrape off the snow layer on the surface of the photovoltaic panel body, due to its shape limitation, the contact area with the snow layer is relatively small. In this case, when the snow layer is thick or icy, the scraping strip may not generate enough friction to effectively scrape off the snow layer, but simply pass through the gap between the snow layer and the photovoltaic panel body, thereby failing to achieve the expected effect of thoroughly cleaning the surface of the photovoltaic panel body.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design a self-cleaning solar photovoltaic panel protection device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0023] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, two damping structures are provided on the side of the photovoltaic panel body, and the two damping structures are respectively arranged opposite to the two push plates.

The outer frame is fixed on the side of the photovoltaic panel body, and the damping plate is slidably arranged on the outer frame. The damping plate and the outer frame are connected by a connecting spring. The damping plate is arranged opposite to the push plate, and the damping plate is provided with an arc surface adapted to the push plate. The damping plate presses the push plate under the action of the connecting spring.

[0024] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. The first mounting base is driven to move by two first transmission belts, and then the first mounting bar and snow removal cloth are driven to move by the sliding rod, thereby effectively clearing the snow on the surface of the photovoltaic panel body. When the snow is light, the first mounting bar directly pushes the snow off; when the snow is heavy, the first mounting bar is inserted between the snow and the photovoltaic panel body, and the snow removal cloth enters and shovels the snow, which falls off as the snow removal cloth moves. The snow removal cloth made of nylon material or with anti-slip texture increases the friction between the snow and the snow, making the snow easier to clear. This design can effectively cope with snow of different thicknesses and improve the cleaning efficiency and effect.

[0026] 2. A number of ice-breaking teeth are arranged on the first mounting bar, and the connecting rod on the slide bar cooperates with the inclined surface of the protruding teeth to make the first mounting bar vibrate when it moves over the photovoltaic panel body. This design causes the ice-breaking teeth to vibrate accordingly. When the snow on the photovoltaic panel body solidifies into ice, the vibrating ice-breaking teeth can continuously collide with the ice layer to achieve an ice-breaking effect. Even if the snow on the surface of the photovoltaic panel body solidifies into ice, the snow removal unit can still effectively clear it, thereby improving the snow removal efficiency and applicability.

[0027] 3. The present invention incorporates a wiper strip to address residual snow on the photovoltaic panel body, improving the cleaning efficiency of the snow removal unit. As the first mounting strip moves, the second mounting strip and its wiper strip press against the photovoltaic panel body surface, effectively scraping away residual moisture, broken ice, and accumulated snow. The coordinated design of the slider and curved spring ensures that the second mounting strip remains stable during movement and automatically resets when the pressure rod separates from the guide plate, avoiding unnecessary wear of the wiper strip beneath the photovoltaic panel body and ensuring cleaning efficiency and the service life of the wiper strip.

[0028] 4. The dry wiper strip function designed in this invention effectively prevents moisture from remaining on the surface of the wiper strip, preventing ice from scratching the photovoltaic panel body in winter. By adjusting the drive block to rotate the second transmission belt while the first transmission belt is stationary, the second mounting strip can be moved independently. When the second mounting strip moves below the photovoltaic panel body, the gear and rack of the vacuum box engage, driving the suction element to rotate and extract air. The air enters the air injection pipe through the air guide pipe and is finally ejected from the air injection holes. These air injection holes are directed towards the wiper strip, blowing off the attached moisture and achieving a dehydration effect, ensuring the cleanliness of the wiper strip and the safety of the photovoltaic panel body.

[0029] 5. The special design of the invention enables the second mounting bar to move independently, without relying on the traction of the first mounting bar and the snow removal cloth, which facilitates the drying of the wiper strip. If the second mounting bar can only move with the first mounting bar, the first mounting bar will block the photovoltaic panel body again after the air is sprayed. To avoid blocking, the dual-axis motor must be controlled to operate continuously to move the two mounting bars back under the photovoltaic panel body. In other words, it must move around the photovoltaic panel body twice to complete the self-cleaning operation. This operation is complicated and energy-intensive. The second mounting bar that can move independently simplifies the operation steps and reduces energy consumption.

[0030] 6. The damping structure on the photovoltaic panel body uses a connecting spring to keep the damping plate pressed against the push plate at all times, ensuring the stability of the push plate, preventing the driving rod and the driving block from moving unintentionally, and ensuring the stable operation of the device. The push plate is rotatably mounted on the driving rod through a bearing, which can both drive the driving rod to move and rotate relative to the driving rod. When the damping plate presses the push plate, the push plate cannot rotate, and the driving rod can rotate smoothly. This design avoids the push plate from rotating with the driving rod and causing significant wear and tear with the damping plate, thereby improving the durability and reliability of the equipment.

Furthermore, the gas will enter the two jet pipes 92 respectively through the two air ducts, and finally be ejected through the plurality of jet holes 93. In summary, when the second mounting bar 57 moves to the bottom of the photovoltaic panel body 1, the plurality of jet holes 93 can perform a jet action, and the plurality of jet holes 93 are all arranged toward the wiper strip 58. Therefore, the gas ejected from the plurality of jet holes 93 can blow off the moisture attached to the surface of the wiper strip 58, thereby dehydrating the wiper strip 58 and preventing moisture from remaining on the wiper strip 58 and condensing into ice.

[0051] The specific working principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0052] When the self-cleaning solar photovoltaic panel body 1 protection device proposed by the present invention is in use, when the photovoltaic panel body 1 is operating normally, the first mounting bar 45, the second mounting bar 57, and the snow removal cloth 6 are all located below the photovoltaic panel body 1. At this time, the light-receiving surface of the photovoltaic panel body 1 is not blocked by the snow removal cloth 6, and normal light-receiving and power generation work is performed. In addition, the two driving blocks 85 are respectively located in the driving openings on the two first rotating shafts 35, and the two driving blocks 85 do not contact the two second rotating shafts 36.

[0053] When it is necessary to remove snow from the photovoltaic panel body 1, the staff first controls the dual-axis motor 2 to operate. When the dual-axis motor 2 is operating, the two output shafts thereon drive the two drive units to operate, so that the two drive units respectively drive the two transmission components to operate. Specifically, when the output shaft of the dual-axis motor 2 rotates, the drive sleeve 81 rotates accordingly. When the drive sleeve 81 rotates, it can drive the drive rod 82 to rotate through the two limit openings 83 and the two limit blocks 84, and the drive block 85 connected to the drive rod 82 will also rotate. Since the cross-sections of the drive block 85 and the drive opening are both rectangular structures, and the shape of the drive block 85 is adapted to the drive opening, the drive block 85 can rotate when it rotates. It is enough to drive the first rotating shaft 35 to rotate. It should be noted here that since the driving block 85 does not contact the second rotating shaft 36, that is, the driving block 85 does not extend into the driving opening on the second rotating shaft 36, the second rotating shaft 36 will not rotate with the driving block 85. Based on the above process, when the dual-axis motor 2 is running, the two first rotating shafts 35 in the two transmission assemblies will respectively drive the corresponding first transmission wheels 31 to rotate, and the rotating first transmission wheels 31 cooperate with the other first transmission wheels 31 in the transmission assembly to drive the first transmission belt 32 to rotate. The final effect achieved is: when the dual-axis motor 2 is running, the two first transmission belts 32 are driven to rotate synchronously;

[0054] When the two first transmission belts 32 rotate, the first mounting seat 41 arranged on the first transmission belt 32 moves accordingly. When the two first mounting seats 41 move, they can drive the first mounting bar 45 to move through the two sliding bars 42. When the first mounting bar 45 moves, it can pull the snow removal cloth 6 to move, and at the same time, the snow removal cloth 6 pulls the second mounting bar 57 to move. When the first mounting bar 45 moves to the top of the photovoltaic panel body 1, the first mounting bar 45 just contacts the surface of the photovoltaic panel body 1. Therefore, the first mounting bar 45 can push down the snow settled on the surface of the photovoltaic panel body 1 during the movement on the photovoltaic panel body 1. Specifically, when there is less snow on the surface of the photovoltaic panel body 1, the first mounting bar 45 can directly push the snow off the photovoltaic panel body 1. When the snow accumulated on the surface of the photovoltaic panel body 1 is When there is a lot of snow, the first mounting bar 45 will be inserted between the snow and the photovoltaic panel body 1 and move between the snow and the photovoltaic panel body 1. At this time, the snow removal cloth 6 plays a role. When the first mounting bar 45 moves between the snow and the photovoltaic panel body 1, the snow removal cloth 6 also enters therewith, so that the snow will be shoveled onto the snow removal cloth 6 and separated from the photovoltaic panel body 1. Further, the snow will move with the moving snow removal cloth 6. When the snow removal cloth 6 bends and rotates under the action of the transmission unit, the snow on the snow removal cloth 6 will fall off, thereby achieving effective cleaning of thick snow. It is worth noting that the snow removal cloth 6 can be made of nylon material, or anti-slip texture can be provided on the surface of the snow removal cloth 6 to increase the friction between the snow removal cloth 6 and the snow, so that the snow can move with the snow removal cloth 6.

[0055] Furthermore, a plurality of ice-breaking teeth 46 are provided on the first mounting bar 45. When the first mounting bar 45 moves to the top of the photovoltaic panel body 1, the connecting rod 47 provided on one of the slide bars 42 will move to a position facing the plurality of convex teeth 73 and first contact the convex teeth 73 at the end position. Since each convex tooth 73 is provided with an inclined surface, when the connecting rod 47 contacts the inclined surface of the convex tooth 73, the connecting rod 47 can move along the inclined surface of the convex tooth 73 and drive the corresponding slide bar 42 to move, so that the first mounting bar 45 moves accordingly. When the connecting rod 47 moves between two adjacent convex teeth 73, the convex teeth 73 are in contact with each other. 73 is no longer in contact with the connecting rod 47. At this time, the first mounting bar 45 is reset under the action of the two reset springs 44. Based on the above process, under the action of the plurality of convex teeth 73, the first mounting bar 45 will synchronously vibrate when moving above the photovoltaic panel body 1. When the first mounting bar 45 vibrates, the plurality of ice-breaking teeth 46 thereon vibrate accordingly. When the snow on the photovoltaic panel body 1 solidifies into ice, the plurality of vibrating ice-breaking teeth 46 can continuously collide with the ice layer to achieve the effect of breaking the ice. Through this special design, even if the snow on the surface of the photovoltaic panel body 1 solidifies into ice, the snow removal unit can still effectively clean it.

[0056] When the snow is pushed off the photovoltaic panel body 1, a small amount of water, snow and ice may still remain on the surface of the photovoltaic panel body 1. In order to improve the cleaning effect of the snow removal unit on the photovoltaic panel body 1, a wiper strip 58 is designed in the present invention to deal with the situation where snow remains on the photovoltaic panel body 1. Specifically, as the first mounting bar 45 moves, the second mounting bar 57 will also move to the top of the photovoltaic panel body 1. When the second mounting bar 57 moves to the top of the photovoltaic panel body 1, the pressure rod set on one of the sliders 53 will contact the inclined surface at the end position of the guide plate 74 and slide downward along the inclined surface. When the pressure rod moves to the bottom of the guide plate 74, the pressure rod will continue to move along the bottom surface of the guide plate 74 to keep the second mounting bar 57 in a downward state. When the second mounting bar 57 is pressed down, the wiper strip 58 on the second mounting bar 57 will press the surface of the photovoltaic panel body 1 tightly. In this case, the wiper strip 58 follows the movement of the second mounting bar 57. During the process, the wiper strip 58 can scrape off the water, broken ice and snow remaining on the photovoltaic panel body 1, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect of the surface of the photovoltaic panel body 1. It is worth noting that when the second mounting bar 57 moves, the sliders 53 at both ends will slide in the two openings 52. When the second mounting bar 57 is pressed down, the two sliders 53 will squeeze the two arc-shaped spring pieces 54. The two arc-shaped spring pieces 54 are used to automatically reset the second mounting bar 57. When the pressure rod is separated from the guide plate 74, the two sliders 53 will be reset under the action of the two arc-shaped spring pieces 54. This design ensures that the wiper strip 58 no longer presses the photovoltaic panel body 1 when it moves to the bottom of the photovoltaic panel body 1, which can avoid unnecessary wear of the wiper strip 58, thereby extending the service life of the wiper strip 58. In addition, two limiting rings 55 are fixed to each slider 53, and the two limiting rings 55 are respectively located on both sides of the second mounting seat 51. The two limiting rings 55 are provided to prevent the slider 53 from falling off from the opening 52.

[0057] The present invention also has a function of drying the wiper strip 58, which can prevent moisture from remaining on the surface of the wiper strip 58, and can prevent the moisture remaining on the surface of the wiper strip 58 from condensing into ice in winter, thereby preventing the ice layer on the surface of the wiper strip 58 from scratching the photovoltaic panel body 1 during the cleaning process. Specifically, when the first mounting bar 45 and the second mounting bar 57 are both moved to the bottom of the photovoltaic panel body 1, the staff temporarily turns off the dual-axis motor 2, and then pushes the two push plates 86 in turn. When the push plates 86 move, they can drive the drive rod 82 to move, and the drive block 85 will also move accordingly. At the same time, the staff can fine-tune the angle of the second rotating shaft 36 by rotating the second transmission wheel 33, so that the drive block 85 is inserted into the second rotating shaft 36 When the driving block 85 is inserted into the driving hole on the second rotating shaft 36, the driving block 85 will be completely disengaged from the driving hole on the first rotating shaft 35. In this case, when the driving block 85 rotates, it will drive the second rotating shaft 36 to rotate, and the first rotating shaft 35 will not rotate. After completing the adjustment of the two driving blocks 85, the staff will start the dual-axis motor 2 again. Since the two driving blocks 85 have been inserted into the two driving holes on the two second rotating shafts 36 respectively, the two second rotating shafts 36 will rotate synchronously, which makes the two second transmission belts 34 operate synchronously, while the two first transmission belts 32 remain stationary. When the two second transmissions are operating, the two second mounting seats 51 will move synchronously and drive the second mounting bar 57 to move.

[0058] When the second mounting bar 57 moves below the photovoltaic panel body 1, the gear 98 on the shaft 96 will mesh with the rack 910 and rotate under the action of the rack 910. When the gear 98 rotates, it can drive the shaft 96 to rotate, so that the shaft 96 drives the air suction member 97 to rotate. The air suction member 97 is provided with a plurality of axial flow blades. When the plurality of axial flow blades rotate, they can perform an exhaust action and draw air from the environment into the interior of the exhaust box 94 through the air inlet 95. Further, the gas will enter the two jet pipes 92 respectively through the two air guide pipes and finally be ejected through the plurality of jet holes 93. In summary, when the second mounting bar 57 moves to the bottom of the photovoltaic panel body 1, the plurality of jet holes 93 can perform an ejection action. The plurality of jet holes 93 are all arranged toward the wiper strip 58. Therefore, the gas ejected from the plurality of jet holes 93 can blow off the moisture attached to the surface of the wiper strip 58, thereby removing water from the wiper strip 58 and preventing moisture from remaining on the wiper strip 58 and condensing into ice.

[0059] It should be noted that the special design of the present invention enables the second mounting bar 57 to move independently without relying on the traction of the first mounting bar 45 and the snow removal cloth 6, so as to facilitate the drying of the wiper strip 58. If the second mounting bar 57 can only move under the traction of the first mounting bar 45 and the snow removal cloth 6, then after the jet action is completed, the first mounting bar 45 will move again above the photovoltaic panel body 1 and block the photovoltaic panel body 1. Furthermore, in order to avoid the occurrence of the blocking phenomenon, the staff needs to control the dual-axis motor 2 to operate continuously so that the first mounting bar 45 and the second mounting bar 57 are moved again to the bottom of the photovoltaic panel body 1, that is, the first mounting bar 45 and the second mounting bar 57 need to move twice around the photovoltaic panel body 1 before the wiper strip 58 can perform the self-cleaning action. However, by providing the second mounting bar 57 that can move independently, there is no need for the first mounting bar 45 and the second mounting bar 57 to move twice around the photovoltaic panel body 1, which not only simplifies the operation steps but also reduces energy consumption.

[0060] The photovoltaic panel body 1 is also provided with a damping structure for stabilizing the position of the drive shaft and the drive block 85. For the damping structure, the damping plate always presses the push plate 86 under the action of the connecting spring, which can ensure the stability of the push plate 86 and prevent the drive rod 82 and the drive block 85 from moving under non-human conditions, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the device. It is worth mentioning that the push plate 86 can be rotatably installed on the drive rod 82 through a bearing, which enables the push plate 86 to drive the drive rod 82 to move while also being able to rotate relative to the drive rod 82. When the damping plate presses the push plate 86, the push plate 86 cannot rotate, and the drive rod 82 can rotate smoothly. This design can avoid the phenomenon that the push plate 86 follows the drive rod 82 to rotate and suffers large wear and tear with the damping plate.

Any technician familiar with the technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
