DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments.

[0035] Referring to Figures 1-13 , a microclimate collector for multiple scenes includes a host 1, and a microclimate collector 11 and a photovoltaic panel 2 are installed on the host 1 through a support rod.

[0036] The scraper 3 is mounted on the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2 and slides. Both ends of the scraper 3 are equipped with traction ropes 20. One end of the traction rope 20 is connected to the counterweight 4, and the other end is connected to the water storage tank 5. The bottom of the water storage tank 5 is equipped with a bottom plate 54 that can be opened and closed.

[0037] The water storage tank 6 is installed on one side above the photovoltaic panel 2 via a support rod. A baffle 7 is vertically movable inside the water storage tank 6. A buoyancy block 71 is installed on the top of the baffle 7, and multiple wind resistance blocks 73 are installed on the top of the baffle 7.

[0038] The scraper 3 has guide members 31 fixedly installed at both ends, and the photovoltaic panel 2 has guide grooves 21 adapted to the guide members 31. The adaptation between the guide members 31 and the guide grooves 21 can improve the stability of the scraper 3 during movement, thereby improving the scraping effect of the scraper 3 on the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2.

[0039] Multiple rope seats 22 are fixedly installed on both sides of the photovoltaic panel 2, through which the traction ropes 20 pass, and guide members 31 are fixedly sleeved and installed in the middle of the traction ropes 20. The rope seats 22 are used to guide the traction ropes 20 and prevent them from getting tangled.

[0040] Multiple guide posts 13 are fixedly installed between the photovoltaic panel 2 and the support rod, and the counterweight 4 is guided to move by the guide posts 13. The guide posts 13 guide the counterweight 4, improving its stability during movement. It is worth noting that the guide posts 13 and the counterweight 4 are not tightly fitted; they only provide a rough guide to ensure stability during long-term use.

[0041] The top of the water storage tank 6 is equipped with a removable filter screen 60. The filter screen 60 can prevent larger debris in the rainwater from entering the water storage tank 6 and causing blockage.

[0042] The water storage tank 6 has a water storage cavity 61 located at the bottom of the filter screen 60. A through cavity 62 is formed on the outer side of the water storage cavity 61. A ramp 63 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the through cavity 62 inside the water storage tank 6. The ramp 63 guides the water flow in the water storage tank 6 to the water storage tank 5.

[0043] The water storage tank 6 has guide plates 64 on both sides, and the water storage tank 5 is guided to move by the guide plates 64. Guide blocks are provided on both sides of the water storage tank 5, and guide cavities are adapted to be opened on the guide plates 64, so as to guide the water storage tank 5.

[0044] The baffle 7 is adapted to move vertically within the cavity 62. Multiple columns 72 are fixedly mounted on the top of the baffle 7, and the other end of each column 72 is fixedly connected to the wind resistance block 73. The wind resistance block 73 is a lightweight structure with an internal cavity. Windproof surfaces 731 are provided on all four sides of the wind resistance block 73, and the windproof surfaces 731 are all arc-shaped.

[0045] The water storage tank 5 has a water storage cavity 51 at the top, and an adjustment cavity 52 communicating with the water storage cavity 51 is opened inward on one side of the bottom of the water storage tank 5. The bottom plate 54 is adapted to move within the adjustment cavity 52. ​​Guide blocks are provided on both sides of the bottom plate 54, and a guide cavity is adapted to be opened on the adjustment cavity 52 to improve the stability of the bottom plate 54 during movement.

[0046] The water storage tank 5 has spring cavities 53 on both sides of the regulating cavity 52. ​​Springs 542 are installed outward in each spring cavity 53, and side plates 541 connected to the springs 542 are fixedly installed at both ends of the bottom plate 54.

[0047] The base plate 54 is made of magnetic material, and a long magnet 121 is fixedly installed on the support rod through the support seat 12. When the water tank 5 moves to the bottom, the long magnet 121 and the base plate 54 are attracted to each other by magnetic attraction.

[0048] In this embodiment, a battery module is installed inside the host unit 1. The electrical energy converted from sunlight in the photovoltaic panel 2 is collected into the battery module inside the host unit 1 to power the micro-weather data collector 11. Finally, the collected data is output through the micro-weather data collector 11. It is worth noting that these are all prior art technologies and are not part of the main technical problems to be solved in this technical solution, so they will not be described in detail.

[0049] Furthermore, since this device is typically installed in remote areas, staff cannot perform daily inspections and maintenance, but only periodic maintenance once every one to two months. Therefore, this application incorporates a cleaning structure capable of automatically cleaning the photovoltaic panels 2, enabling automatic maintenance of the photovoltaic panels 2 during maintenance downtime.

[0050] Furthermore, during rainy weather, rainwater can enter the water storage chamber 6 through the filter screen 60, thus enabling the normal storage of rainwater for later cleaning of the photovoltaic panels 2. As the water level in the water storage chamber 61 rises, the baffle 7 can also move upwards synchronously due to the buoyancy of the buoyancy block 71, thereby preventing water loss from the water storage chamber 61.

[0051] In windy weather, the wind will blow the windproof surface 731 on the wind-resistant block 73, thus the wind-blown force exerted by the wind on the windproof surface 731 will push the wind-resistant block 73 upward. At this time, the column 72, the buoyancy block 71, and the baffle 7 all move upward synchronously. After moving upward a short distance, they will automatically fall under their own weight. When the baffle 7 falls too far, it will move upward again due to the buoyancy of the buoyancy block 71. In this way, the baffle 7 can be made to move up and down repeatedly.

[0052] Because the baffle 7 blocks one side of the water storage chamber 61, rainwater in the water storage chamber 61 will continuously overflow from the top of the baffle 7 when the baffle 7 moves vertically. Part of the overflowing rainwater is sprinkled on the photovoltaic panel 2, and the other part is guided into the water storage chamber 51 in the water storage tank 5 through the ramp 63. Furthermore, the buoyancy block 71 ensures that the top surface of the baffle 7 is always aligned with the horizontal plane.

[0053] As rainwater continuously enters the water storage chamber 51, the weight of the water storage tank 5 gradually increases. At this time, the water storage tank 5 continuously moves downward to pull the traction rope 20. Meanwhile, the scraper 3 continuously moves upward through the traction rope 20, and the counterweight 4 is lifted upward.

[0054] When the water storage tank 5 moves to the bottom, the base plate 54 and the long magnet 121 are aligned and adapted to each other. At this time, the base plate 54 can move towards the long magnet 121 by magnetic force, and the springs 542 on both sides are stretched. Then, rainwater can flow out from the water storage tank 5, and the gravity of the water storage tank 5 decreases significantly.

[0055] At this point, the suspended counterweight 4 will automatically fall under its own weight to pull the water tank 5 back to its original position, and the base plate 54 will also automatically return to its original position due to the elastic force of the spring 542. During this process, the scraper 3 moves across the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2, thus removing dirt from the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2 and achieving simple cleaning.

[0056] Driven by the wind, this structure will operate continuously to clean the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2. Furthermore, during rainy weather, rainwater can be replenished in the water storage tank 6 to ensure the device can operate continuously under most circumstances.

[0057] The filter screen 60 is detachable and can filter rainwater to prevent large impurities from entering the water storage tank 5. Furthermore, the cleaning structure described in this application is only for routine, rough cleaning to roughly ensure the cleanliness of the photovoltaic panel 2 surface. During long-term use, personnel will still need to clean the device periodically.

[0058] It is worth noting that both the water storage tank 5 and the water storage chamber 6 are equipped with sealing structures as used in the prior art to ensure airtightness and prevent large-scale water leakage. Furthermore, all moving parts in this application are equipped with guiding mechanisms to ensure their normal operation. These are all prior art techniques and will not be elaborated upon further.

[0059] In this invention, by adapting the scraper 3, counterweight 4, water tank 5, water storage 6 and baffle 7, the photovoltaic panel 2 can be automatically cleaned using natural wind and rainwater, without the need for external energy input, thus ensuring the long-term working stability and environmental adaptability of the micro-weather collector 11 in remote areas without mains power.

[0060] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
