Description

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of photovoltaic equipment, and in particular relates to an adjustable photovoltaic device and method. Background Art

[0002] Despite rapid growth in photovoltaic (PV) installations in recent years, the efficiency of PV modules is significantly affected by environmental factors, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. Dust has become a key factor limiting power generation efficiency. Studies have shown that dust coverage can cause PV module efficiency to drop by 15%-40%. Long-term cleaning can even trigger hot spot effects, accelerating module aging. Traditional manual and mechanical cleaning is costly in large-scale PV power plants and difficult to implement in areas with scarce water resources. The most common cleaning equipment currently available is a cleaning robot, a device used to clean photovoltaic surfaces in daily life. It is widely used in the field of PV maintenance.

[0003] When using existing cleaning robots, they are first placed on the photovoltaic surface and then clean the photovoltaic surface by dipping the robot in water or using a brush. During use, it was found that existing cleaning robots rely on high-precision equipment, which can easily damage the surface of the components. In addition, they require high-frequency operation in areas with frequent sand and dust, resulting in high maintenance costs, which leads to low equipment efficiency.

[0044] In this embodiment, a method for operating an angle-adjustable photovoltaic device includes the following steps: S1. Fix the support base 110 and drive the ring base 140 upward through the up and down drive mechanism 150 so that the photovoltaic panel 220 and the support shaft 120 remain in an expanded state vertically, which is the photovoltaic power generation state.

The adjusting mechanism 300 is started to adjust the angle of the cleaning roller 420 so that it is parallel to the photovoltaic panel 220 and maintains a fitting state. Then the rotation driving mechanism 130 is started, and the photovoltaic panel 220 rotates around the support shaft 120. The cleaning roller 420 cleans the photovoltaic panel 220.

10. The method for operating an angle-adjustable photovoltaic device according to any one of claims 5 to 9, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: S1, fixing the support base (110), and driving the ring base (140) to move upward through the up and down driving mechanism (150), so that the photovoltaic panel (220) and the support shaft (120) are kept in an expanded state vertically, which is a photovoltaic power generation state; S2. When the photovoltaic panel (220) needs to be cleaned, the ring seat (140) is driven to move downward by the upper and lower driving mechanisms (150). At this time, the photovoltaic panel (220) rotates downward until it rotates to a downward tilted state. The second driving motor (440) is started to rotate the flap (414), and the cleaning roller (420) is rotated to the side close to the water tank (510). The adjusting mechanism (300) is started to adjust the angle of the cleaning roller (420) so that it is parallel to the photovoltaic panel (220) and maintains a contact state. Then, the rotation driving mechanism (130) is started, and the photovoltaic panel (220) rotates around the support shaft (120). The cleaning roller (420) cleans the photovoltaic panel (220). After cleaning is completed, the photovoltaic panel (220) is adjusted to an unfolded state by the upper and lower driving mechanisms (150); S3. When the cleaning roller (420) needs to be cleaned, the adjustment mechanism (300) is started, and the angle of the cleaning mechanism (400) is adjusted so that the adjustment arm (320) is in a horizontal state. Water is added to the water tank (510) through the water supply system, and then the first drive motor (430) is started, and the adjustment shaft (411) rotates to flip the cleaning roller (420) into the water tank (510). At this time, the cover plate (450) is covered on the upper side of the water tank (510). The third drive motor (460) is started, and the mounting frame (415) rotates to clean the cleaning roller (420). After cleaning is completed, the third drive motor (460) is stopped, and the first drive motor (430) rotates in the opposite direction to flip the cleaning roller (420) out of the water tank (510). Then, step S2 is repeated to clean the photovoltaic panel (220).
