Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photovoltaic panel support, and in particular to a photovoltaic panel support method for green, environmentally friendly and energy-saving buildings. Background Art

[0002] In the development of green, environmentally friendly, and energy-saving buildings, photovoltaic panels, as a key component in achieving building energy self-sufficiency, play a key role in improving building energy efficiency and sustainability. With the advancement of building photovoltaic integration, higher requirements are being placed on the stability, seismic resistance, ease of cleaning and maintenance, and light energy capture efficiency of photovoltaic panel support systems. A support method that balances structural stability with energy conservation and environmental protection is urgently needed.

[0003] Existing photovoltaic panel support technologies have many shortcomings in practical applications. Traditional support methods mostly use fixed installation structures, which cannot adjust the inclination of the photovoltaic panels in real time according to the light intensity, resulting in low light energy utilization; in terms of seismic design, there is a lack of effective buffering mechanism. When an earthquake occurs, the horizontal vibration force is easily transmitted between the installation structures, causing the photovoltaic panels to loosen or even be damaged; at the same time, most existing support systems do not have integrated self-cleaning functions, and the surface of the photovoltaic panels is prone to dust accumulation or contamination by debris, affecting the power generation efficiency, and the cleaning process relies on manual operation, consuming a lot of water resources and labor costs. In addition, some support structures use a punching installation method, which will damage the building roof waterproofing layer, increase the risk of leakage, and do not meet the non-destructive installation requirements of green buildings. These problems have seriously restricted the efficient application of photovoltaic panels in green, environmentally friendly and energy-saving buildings. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a photovoltaic panel support method that can solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Step 5: Monitor the light intensity through the light sensor and control the motor to adjust the photovoltaic panel inclination angle θ through the gear set:

[0011]

[0012] Among them I max is the local maximum light intensity, I real is the real-time light intensity;

[0013] Step 6: The water storage box collects rainwater and pumps it to the sprinkler head to clean the photovoltaic panels. The spray frequency is T is the ambient temperature.

[0014] Preferably, in step four: the pressure difference between the negative pressure chamber and the positive pressure chamber is ≥150 kPa, and the gas in the positive pressure chamber pushes the inclined sheet to extrude the rubber strip through the multi-stage air channel (54 / 511 / 641), so that its deformation rate δ is ≥15%.

[0015] Preferably, the cylinder is connected by a first barrel and a second barrel via a thin waist rubber sleeve, and the axial deformation ΔL of the rubber sleeve during an earthquake satisfies:

Furthermore, the design incorporates rigorous leak detection, a secondary sealing mechanism, and sleeve gas injection reinforcement technology, significantly reducing maintenance requirements and extending service life. This overall solution not only improves power generation efficiency but also enables non-destructive installation without drilling holes into the building's roof structure, ensuring building integrity and delivering significant energy-saving and environmental benefits. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0032] Figure 1 is a flow chart of the present invention;

[0033] Figure 2 It is a system diagram of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] Example:

[0036] Please see the attached Figure 1 The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for supporting photovoltaic panels for green, environmentally friendly and energy-saving buildings, comprising the following steps:

[0037] Step 1: Lay the keel with installation holes and limit holes horizontally on the building roof;

[0038] Specifically, Q235B hot-dip galvanized keels are laid horizontally on the roof. The keels have a specification of 60mm×40mm×3mm and a spacing of 800mm. 12mm diameter mounting holes and 10mm diameter limit holes are prefabricated on the keels, and the hole spacing error is ≤1mm.

[0039] Please see the attached Figure 1 Step 2: overlap the W-shaped support channel steel on the keel, connect the lower part of the flat plate to the cylinder and the mounting tube, and insert the mounting tube into the mounting hole;

[0040] Specifically, overlap the W-shaped supporting channel steel (material Q355B) on the keel, weld the cylinder (the first cylinder diameter is 80mm, the second cylinder diameter is 60mm) and the 10mm diameter mounting cylinder to the lower part of the channel steel flat plate, insert the mounting cylinder into the keel mounting hole and preliminarily fix it with M10 bolts.

[0041] Please see the attached Figure 1 Step 3: embed the photovoltaic panel into the installation frame with matching grooves and rubber strips, the convex strips of the rubber strips between adjacent installation frames are staggered and interlocked, and the density of the deformation holes is 20 to 30 per centimeter, and the horizontal vibration force transmission efficiency is ≤5%;

[0042] Specifically, 20 2m x 1m photovoltaic panels (with a conversion efficiency of 22%) were embedded in an aluminum alloy mounting frame. The mounting frame had a 20mm deep groove, and EPDM rubber strips were glued into the grooves. The rubber strips between adjacent mounting frames were offset by 5mm to form a puncture pattern, with a density of 25 deformation holes per centimeter.

[0043] Please see the attached Figure 1, step 4, evacuate the negative pressure chamber in the cylinder to -90 ~ -70kPa, drive the first piston to press down the fixed mounting frame, and at the same time, the second piston pushes the wedge block to make the limit block snap into the limit hole. In step 4: the pressure difference between the negative pressure chamber and the positive pressure chamber is ≥150kPa, and the gas in the positive pressure chamber pushes the inclined piece to extrude the rubber strip through the multi-stage air channel (54 / 511 / 641), so that its deformation rate δ is ≥15%. The cylinder is connected by the first barrel and the second barrel through a thin waist rubber sleeve. The axial deformation of the rubber sleeve during an earthquake ΔL satisfies:

[0044]

[0045] Wherein a is the earthquake acceleration, g is the gravity acceleration, L0 is the original length of the rubber sleeve, and k=0.8-1.2 is the damping coefficient. The fourth step includes leakage detection: placing a side leakage paper strip on the pressure plate and the flat panel, flushing for 30 minutes and then locating the leakage point, applying sealant and then pressurizing and sealing again;

[0046] Specifically, a rotary vane vacuum pump is used to evacuate the negative pressure chamber of the cylinder to -80kPa, at which point the pressure difference between the negative and positive pressure chambers is 160kPa (the initial pressure of the positive pressure chamber is 100kPa). The first piston (70mm diameter) presses down 15mm to fix the mounting frame, while the second piston (50mm diameter) pushes the wedge block, causing the limit block (10mm×10mm×20mm) to snap into the keel limit hole. The positive pressure chamber gas pushes the tilting piece through three airways (with diameters of 8mm, 5mm, and 3mm, respectively), causing the rubber strip to deform by 18%. The first and second cylinder bodies are connected by a waisted rubber sleeve (original length 50mm, k=1.0). When simulating a magnitude 7 earthquake (a=0.15g), the axial deformation of the rubber sleeve is ΔL=1.0×(0.15g / g)×50=7.5mm, which meets the design requirements. A side leakage paper strip is placed between the pressure plate and the flat plate, and water is flushed at a water pressure of 0.3MPa for 30 minutes. After locating two leakage points, silicone sealant is applied and the seal is completed by pressurizing to -85kPa for the second time.

[0047] Please see the attached Figure 1 Step 5: Monitor the light intensity through the light sensor and control the motor to adjust the photovoltaic panel tilt angle θ through the gear set:

[0048]

[0049] Among them I max is the local maximum light intensity, I real For real-time light intensity, in step 5: the light sensor data of the angle adjustment unit is processed by the control device, the adjustment motor response time is less than 3s, and the tilt angle control accuracy is ±0.5°;

[0050] Specifically, the line sensor (accuracy ±2%) collects the light intensity in real time. Calculate the inclination angle when:

[0051] θ = arcsin[(600 / 800) × 45°] = arcsin(0.75 × 45°) = arcsin33.75°≈34.2°. The regulating motor (power 200 W) starts 2.5 seconds after receiving the signal and adjusts the inclination angle of the photovoltaic panel through the gear set (transmission ratio 1:5). The measured control accuracy is ±0.3°.

[0052] Please see the attached Figure 1 Step 6: The water storage box collects rainwater and pumps it to the sprinkler head to clean the photovoltaic panels. The spray frequency is T is the ambient temperature. The water spray head is provided with a conical water spray nozzle, the spray angle α = 30 ° - 45 °, the water pressure is 0.20-0.5 MPa, and the single water consumption is ≤ 0.1 L / m 2 ;

[0053] Specifically, the water storage box (volume 500L) collects rainwater, which is filtered by the filter and then transported to the sprinkler head by a centrifugal pump (lift 15m). When the ambient temperature T = 25℃, the spray frequency is The conical water nozzle has a spray angle of 40°, a water pressure of 0.3MPa, and a single water consumption of 0.1L / ㎡. The single water consumption for a 200㎡ photovoltaic panel is 20L.

The distance between the sprinkler heads is 1.5m and they are evenly distributed above the photovoltaic panels; a PLC controller (Siemens S7-200SMART) is used, with integrated negative pressure maintenance (true pressure detection once every hour) air density, supplementary pumping is started when it is lower than -70kPa) and the illumination angle adjustment logic; in the static load test, the displacement of the photovoltaic panel when it is subjected to a wind pressure of 1.5kN / ㎡ is less than 1mm; in the vibration table test simulating a 7-degree earthquake, the maximum amplitude of the photovoltaic panel is 3mm, and there is no structural damage. Compared with the fixed-angle installation, this method increases the average daily power generation by 12.3%, the annual power generation reaches 68,000 kWh, and the annual rainwater collection volume is about 120 tons, which can save 90 tons of municipal water for photovoltaic panel cleaning; the punch-free installation avoids damage to the roof waterproof layer and reduces 0.5 tons of construction waste. After 12 months of operation, the negative pressure system vacuum decay rate is less than 5%, the rubber strip has no obvious aging, and the adjustment motor response time is maintained within 2.8s.
