Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of water guide channel technology, specifically a water guide channel for the installation of integrated photovoltaic modules in a solar greenhouse. Background Technology
[0002] The drainage channels used for integrated photovoltaic (PV) module installation in solar sunshades are the "drainage system" of the solar sunshade. Their core mission is to scientifically organize drainage, achieving waterproofing and corrosion prevention. A solar sunshade is a large exposed surface that receives a significant amount of rainwater. The main function of the drainage channels is to collect rainwater flowing from the sloping PV module panels and guide it systematically to pre-designed downpipes for eventual drainage. This effectively prevents rainwater from freely flowing along the edges of the roof, affecting activities below, and potentially eroding the surrounding foundation and vegetation. Furthermore, the PV panels are not completely seamless. The drainage channels are cleverly installed directly below the longitudinal joints of the two rows of PV modules. This way, a small amount of rainwater seeping from the module gaps (rather than water flowing directly onto the panel surface) drips directly into the channels and is drained away, rather than leaking into the roof. This is crucial for keeping the space under the sunshade dry and usable.
[0003] A Chinese patent with publication number CN207677669U discloses a water guide channel for installing integrated photovoltaic modules in a solar greenhouse. The channel includes a tank body with water guide channel fixing parts on both sides along its length and a double-glass module fixing part in the middle along its length. A water flow channel is formed between the double-glass module fixing parts and the water guide channel fixing parts. This water guide channel for installing integrated photovoltaic modules in a solar greenhouse has a simple structure and reasonable design. The double-glass module fixing part in the middle of the channel body facilitates the fixing of the double-glass modules; the water guide channel fixing parts on both sides of the channel body facilitate the fixing of the water guide channel and the installation of the horizontal water channel. This utility model's water guide channel achieves both the installation of double-glass modules and the drainage and waterproofing of the double-glass modules.
[0004] The drainage channels currently used in integrated photovoltaic solar greenhouses have fixed drainage sections, which cannot be dynamically adjusted according to rainfall, resulting in a lack of flexibility. During heavy rain, the instantaneous water volume often exceeds the design load, frequently causing overflow problems. Conversely, if extra-large drainage channels are installed to cope with extreme weather, it will lead to a bulky structure, encroaching on valuable space, making it difficult to balance space utilization and drainage efficiency.
[0005] Therefore, the present invention provides a water guide channel for the installation of integrated photovoltaic modules in a solar greenhouse. Summary of the Invention

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. The water guide channel for integrated photovoltaic module installation in a solar greenhouse, as described in this invention, allows for adjustment of the internal drainage space through a connecting plate, a U-shaped channel, and a strip frame. This facilitates adjustment of the drainage space based on rainfall, effectively preventing rainwater overflow and ensuring drainage efficiency. Controlling the dual-shaft motor allows for adjustment of the U-shaped channel's position. The U-shaped plate drives the connecting strip to move, and the connecting strip's movement is guided by a cavity, ensuring smooth movement. After moving the U-shaped channel to a predetermined position, its position is fixed. The U-shaped channel, connecting plate, and strip frame together form the water guide channel, expanding the internal drainage space. This allows for dynamic adjustment of drainage capacity based on rainfall intensity, improving drainage efficiency during heavy rainfall, preventing rainwater overflow and accumulation, ensuring drainage efficiency for integrated photovoltaic module installation in solar greenhouses, and enhancing flexibility for use in different scenarios.
[0018] 2. The water guide channel for integrated photovoltaic module installation in a solar greenhouse, as described in this invention, uses a U-shaped filter plate to filter and intercept debris entering the channel, preventing blockage and ensuring drainage efficiency. When rainwater enters the channel, it first passes through the U-shaped filter plate, filtering out large foreign objects and preventing them from accumulating and causing blockages that affect drainage. The U-shaped filter plate allows filtered debris to accumulate in the middle, even after filtration. Water can flow from the side of the U-shaped filter plate into the U-shaped channel for discharge. The U-shaped cross-section provides a smoother fluid path, resulting in lower eddies and resistance at corners, more stable drainage, and a lower water level zone. This guides water flow towards the outlet, reducing local water pressure and minimizing water accumulation. Compared to rectangular channels, U-shaped channels typically control dead angles and inflection points within manageable limits, reducing blockages and water leakage.
[0019] 3. The water guide channel for integrated photovoltaic module installation in a solar greenhouse, as described in this invention, uses a scraper and drive block to remove debris filtered inside the channel, effectively preventing debris accumulation from affecting drainage efficiency. The dual-shaft motor drives the drive sprocket, which, in conjunction with the driven sprocket, ensures smooth chain movement, causing the scraper to move synchronously and scrape away debris filtered and intercepted on the U-shaped filter plate, guaranteeing its filtration effect. Simultaneously, rainwater flushing effectively removes impurities adsorbed on the U-shaped filter plate, preventing clogging. The scraper's movement pushes the scraped debris to the lower part of the water guide channel, allowing it to fall directly to the outside, effectively preventing debris accumulation from affecting drainage efficiency.
[0020] 4. The water guide channel for integrated photovoltaic module installation in a solar canopy, as described in this invention, facilitates slight vibration of the water guide channel through the setting of a striking block and a pushing shaft. During drainage, this effectively prevents debris from accumulating in the water guide channel and affecting drainage efficiency. When the driving block moves, the bottom of the driving block fits against the top of the pushing shaft, causing the pushed shaft to move downwards, which in turn drives the striking block downwards. The reset of the No. 3 spring pushes the striking block to reset, and the reset striking block collides with the movable frame, causing the movable frame to vibrate. This process repeats, causing slight vibration of the water guide channel, which effectively prevents debris from accumulating inside the U-shaped channel and causing blockage, thus ensuring the drainage efficiency of the water guide channel.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 15As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, the water guide channel for the installation of integrated photovoltaic modules in a solar greenhouse includes a strip frame 1, a positioning mechanism for installation on the strip frame 1, a U-shaped filter plate 4 fixedly installed inside the strip frame 1, a storage groove 6 inside the strip frame 1, a connecting plate 7 passing through the storage groove 6, a U-shaped groove 8 fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 7, T-shaped reinforcing plates 12 and strip plates 10 arranged in an alternating array on the side of the strip frame 1, a cavity 11 inside the strip plate 10, a frame 18 on the side of the strip frame 1, an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the position of the U-shaped groove 8 inside the frame 18, a limiting mechanism for positioning the U-shaped groove 8 on the strip plate 10, a power supply component 9 fixedly installed at the bottom of the U-shaped groove 8, a scraper 49 on the U-shaped filter plate 4 with the outer wall of the scraper 49 in contact with the inner wall of the U-shaped filter plate 4, a transmission mechanism for moving the U-shaped filter plate 4 inside the strip frame 1, and a vibration mechanism inside the strip frame 1. When using the drainage channel for integrated photovoltaic module installation in a solar canopy for drainage, the positioning mechanism and bracket work together to fix the strip frame 1 to the solar canopy below the photovoltaic modules. During rain or snow, rainwater falling on the photovoltaic modules slides down and collects in the drainage channel (strip frame 1 and U-shaped channel 8). The rainwater first passes through the U-shaped filter plate 4 for filtration, which removes large foreign objects, preventing them from accumulating in the U-shaped channel 8 and causing blockages that affect drainage. Furthermore, the U-shaped filter plate 4 allows filtered debris to accumulate in the middle, even if... After the debris is filtered, it will accumulate in the middle of the U-shaped filter plate 4. The water source can flow out from the side of the U-shaped filter plate 4 into the U-shaped channel 8 for discharge treatment. The drainage is carried out through the U-shaped channel 8. The U-shaped cross section has a smoother fluid path. The eddy current and resistance at the corner of the water flow are relatively lower, the drainage performance is more stable, and it is easier to form a lower water level zone, guide the water flow to the outlet, reduce local water pressure, and reduce the chance of water accumulation. Compared with the rectangular water guide channel, the U-shaped channel 8 is usually designed to control dead corners and turning points within a controllable range, reducing blockage and water leakage. When encountering a short-term heavy rain of 50mm / h, if the internal water flow area of the water guide channel composed of the strip frame 1 and the U-shaped channel 8 is not convenient for timely drainage of rainwater, in order to avoid rainwater overflow, the adjustment mechanism can be moved to adjust the position of the U-shaped channel 8. When the U-shaped channel 8 moves, it will drive the connecting plate 7 to move inside the receiving trough 6. A sealing ring is set between the connecting plate 7 and the receiving trough 6 to effectively prevent water from entering the receiving trough 6. After the U-shaped channel 8 moves to the predetermined position, the position of the U-shaped channel 8 will be positioned by the limiting mechanism. At this time, the water guide channel composed of the U-shaped channel 8, the connecting plate 7 and the strip frame 1 is formed to expand the drainage space inside the water guide channel, which makes it easier to dynamically adjust the drainage capacity according to the rainfall intensity, improve the drainage efficiency when the rainfall is heavy, and prevent rainwater overflow and water accumulation. Furthermore, when adjusting the drainage space of the water guide channel, the transmission mechanism can also move the scraper 49. When the scraper 49 moves, it will remove the impurities filtered on the U-shaped filter plate 4, ensuring the filtration effect of the U-shaped filter plate 4. At the same time, the impurities adsorbed on the U-shaped filter plate 4 can be effectively removed by rainwater rinsing, effectively preventing the U-shaped filter plate 4 from clogging. Since it is set on the sunshade, the water guide channel will be high at one end and low at the other. The movement of the scraper 49 will push the scraped debris to the lower part of the water guide channel. After the debris moves to the lower part, it can fall directly to the outside. A filter box for collecting debris can also be set on one side of the water guide channel to collect the removed impurities. When adjusting the position of the scraper 49, the vibration mechanism can also move. The movement of the vibration mechanism will cause the water guide channel to vibrate slightly, which can effectively prevent debris from accumulating inside the U-shaped channel 8 and causing blockage of the water guide channel, thus ensuring the drainage efficiency of the water guide channel. The power supply component 9 (existing technology) is electrically connected to the electronic equipment on the water channel for the installation of integrated photovoltaic modules in the solar greenhouse, and can be remotely controlled to power the electronic equipment and drive its movement. The strength of the water channel edges and bottom can be enhanced by the T-shaped reinforcing plate 12 and the load-bearing plate 16, thereby improving the wind load resistance of the water channel. A water level sensor can be installed on the side of the water channel to monitor the water volume inside the channel (existing technology). The water level sensor can be a non-contact ultrasonic level sensor, embedded in a small hole at the top of the channel at key points (such as the end, confluence, or midpoint of a long span). The sensor emits ultrasonic waves downwards to measure the water level without contacting the water, avoiding the influence and physical damage caused by impurities and dirt in the water on the sensing accuracy. It directly outputs water level data, is easy to set warning thresholds, and has low power consumption, making it suitable for solar-powered scenarios. A miniature camera can also be installed for auxiliary diagnostics. A low-power, wide-angle lens miniature camera with infrared night vision can be installed on the upstream side of the channel, covering the key monitoring section. When the water level sensor alarms, it automatically detects the alarm. The system can take pictures or record short videos for managers to remotely confirm whether the water level is too high or if there is a blockage caused by large debris. It can also record videos at regular intervals to observe whether there are fallen leaves, silt, or other issues in the drainage channel, enabling preventative maintenance. A main controller / analysis unit is installed on the top of the sunroom to receive sensor data, run analysis algorithms, issue control commands, and continuously measure the water level in the channel. When the water level is determined to be too high, an emergency push is immediately sent to the manager's mobile phone. It can be remotely controlled to adjust the drainage space inside the drainage channel. Depending on the needs, a water level sensor or a miniature camera can be installed. If no miniature camera or water level sensor is installed, the drainage space of the drainage channel is adjusted manually based on the rainfall. The moving parts on the water guide channel used for the installation of integrated photovoltaic modules in the solar greenhouse are made of stainless steel and are treated with anti-corrosion measures.
[0026] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism includes a controller 19, a dual-output shaft motor 20, a drive shaft 29, an adjustment screw 30, a drive plate 37, and a connecting assembly. The controller 19 is fixedly installed inside the frame 18, and the dual-output shaft motor 20 is fixedly installed inside the frame 18. The controller 19 is electrically connected to the dual-output shaft motor 20. One end of the drive shaft 29 is fixedly connected to one of the output ends of the dual-output shaft motor 20. The adjustment screw 30 is rotatably connected to the frame 18, and the other end of the drive shaft 29 is rotatably connected to the interior of the adjustment screw 30. One end of the drive plate 37 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped groove 8, and the adjustment screw 30 is threadedly connected to the interior of the drive plate 37. The connecting assembly for temporarily fixing the adjustment screw 30 and the drive plate 37 is installed inside the adjustment screw 30. The dual-output shaft motor 20 is electrically connected to the power supply component 9 and can supply power. When the adjustment mechanism moves, the controller 19 can control the dual-output shaft motor 20 to work, which will drive the drive shaft 29 and the drive sprocket 22 to rotate. When the drive shaft 29 rotates, since the drive shaft 29 is rotatably connected to the adjustment screw 30, it will not drive the adjustment screw 30 to rotate. When the position of the U-shaped groove 8 needs to be adjusted, the connecting component can be moved to temporarily fix the drive shaft 29 and the adjustment screw 30. Then, when the dual-output shaft motor 20 moves, it will drive the adjustment screw 30 to rotate. When the adjustment screw 30 rotates, it will cause the drive plate 37 to move. When the drive plate 37 moves, it will drive the U-shaped groove 8 to move, which will adjust the position of the U-shaped groove 8. The working state of the connecting component and the movement state of the adjustment screw 30 can be controlled according to the needs. A retractable bellows is fitted onto the adjusting screw 30. The two ends of the bellows are fixedly connected to the frame 18 and the top of the drive plate 37, respectively, so that the adjusting screw 30 is in a sealed space to prevent external factors from corroding the adjusting screw 30. The bellows is retractable and will not affect the movement of the drive plate 37.
[0027] Furthermore, the connecting components include a slide 31, a first electromagnet 32, a strip 33, a first guide shaft 34, a first spring 35, and a locking block 36. The slide 31 array is arranged at the end of the adjusting screw 30, and the slide 31 is located on one side of the drive shaft 29. The first electromagnet 32 is fixedly arranged inside the slide 31. The strip 33 is arranged inside the slide 31, and the strip 33 is located on one side of the first electromagnet 32. The first guide shaft 34 is fixedly arranged inside the slide 31. The first spring 35 is arranged around the first guide shaft 34. The locking block 36 is arranged inside the slide 31, and the first guide shaft 34 passes through the locking block 36. One end of the first spring 35 is fixedly connected to the strip 33, and the other end of the first spring 35 is fixedly connected to the first guide shaft 34. A magnetic plate 5 is embedded inside the locking block 36. When the control connection assembly temporarily fixes the adjusting screw 30 to the drive shaft 29, the first electromagnet 32 is activated to generate a strong magnet. The generated magnetic force repels the magnetic force of the magnetic plate 5, pushing the plate 33 to move. The first guide shaft 34 guides the plate 33, thereby moving the locking block 36. The drive shaft 29 has an array of conical grooves. When the locking block 36 engages with the corresponding conical groove, the adjusting screw 30 is temporarily fixedly connected to the drive shaft 29. Thus, when the drive shaft 29 rotates, the adjusting screw 30 rotates synchronously. Conversely, when the first electromagnet 32 stops working and no longer generates magnetic force (i.e., no longer repels the magnetic plate 5), the first spring 35 resets, pushing the plate 33 to reset, thereby resetting the locking block 36 and de-fixing the adjusting screw 30 and the drive shaft 29. The adjusting screw 30 is treated with anti-corrosion coating.
[0028] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism includes a connecting strip 13, a through groove 14, a slot 15, a protective frame 38, a second guide shaft 39, a sliding plate 40, a second limiting groove 41, a positioning plate 42, a second spring 43, and a second electromagnet 44. The connecting strip 13 passes through the cavity 11. The through groove 14 is located on the side of the strip plate 10 and is connected to the cavity 11. The slots 15 are arrayed on the connecting strip 13. The protective frame 38 is fixedly located on one side of the strip plate 10. The second guide shaft 39 is arrayed inside the protective frame 38. The slide plate 40 is located inside the protective frame 38, and the second guide shaft 39 passes through the slide plate 40. The second limiting groove 41, corresponding to the through groove 14, is arrayed on the protective frame 38. The positioning plate 42 passes through the second limiting groove 41, and one end of the positioning plate 42 is fixedly connected to the slide plate 40. The second spring 43 is arranged around the second guide shaft 39, and the ends of the second spring 43 are fixedly connected to the slide plate 40 and the protective frame 38 respectively. The second electromagnet 44 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the protective frame 38, and the slide plate 40 is made of magnetic material. When adjusting the position of the U-shaped groove 8, the second electromagnet 44 generates magnetic force, which attracts the slide plate 40, causing it to move. The second guide shaft 39 guides the slide plate 40, ensuring its smooth movement. After the slide plate 40 moves, it moves the positioning plate 42, separating it from the corresponding slot 15, thus removing the position limit on the connecting strip 13. The U-shaped plate 17 then moves the connecting strip 13. The connecting strip 13 moves smoothly through the cavity 11, which guides its movement. The U-shaped plate 17 then allows the U-shaped groove 8 to be positioned. The position adjustment of groove 8 allows the U-shaped groove 8 to move smoothly. After the U-shaped groove 8 is moved to the predetermined position, the second electromagnet 44 stops working, the second spring 43 resets, and pushes the slide plate 40 and the positioning plate 42 to reset. After the positioning plate 42 moves into the cavity 11 through the through groove 14, it engages with the corresponding slot 15, thereby positioning the position of the connecting strip 13 and the U-shaped groove 8. Electromagnets can also be set on the side of the second limiting groove 41 to generate magnetic force to position the slide plate 40, ensuring the stability of the position of the positioning plate 42.
[0029] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism includes a mounting plate 2 and positioning holes 3. The mounting plate 2 is fixedly disposed on the side of the strip frame 1, and the positioning holes 3 are arrayed on the mounting plate 2. The sunroom is pre-installed with brackets and holes for installing integrated photovoltaic modules. After the mounting plate 2 is placed at the installation location, the mounting plate 2 can be positioned by using bolts through the positioning holes 3, thereby positioning and installing the water guide channel. This ensures that the water guide channel is located at the drainage point of the photovoltaic module for drainage treatment, while also ensuring that the water guide channel is resistant to wind loads.
[0030] Furthermore, a U-shaped plate 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting strip 13, and the U-shaped plate 17 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped channel 8. A load-bearing plate 16 is fixedly provided on the side of the U-shaped plate 17, and the load-bearing plate 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the U-shaped channel 8. The U-shaped plate 17 and the load-bearing plate 16 work together to reinforce the bottom of the U-shaped channel 8. The T-shaped reinforcing plate 12 can strengthen the edge of the water channel, thereby improving the strength of the water channel.
[0031] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism includes a drive sprocket 22, a square groove 46, a driven sprocket 50, a chain 51, and a connecting block 52. A protective groove 21 is provided on the top of the frame 18. The drive sprocket 22 is rotatably arranged inside the protective groove 21, and the center position of the drive sprocket 22 is fixedly connected to the other output end of the dual-output shaft motor 20 through a shaft. The square groove 46 is arranged inside the strip frame 1. The driven sprocket 50 is rotatably arranged inside the square groove 46. The chain 51 is sleeved on the drive sprocket 22 and the driven sprocket 50. The driven sprocket 50 and the drive sprocket 22 are connected by the chain 51. The connecting block 52 is fixedly arranged on the side of the chain 51. When the dual-output shaft motor 20 moves, it drives the drive sprocket 22 to move. Through the cooperation of the driven sprocket 50, the chain 51 moves smoothly. When the chain 51 moves, it drives the drive block 48 to move through the connecting block 52, which in turn drives the scraper 49 to move synchronously, scraping away the debris filtered and intercepted on the U-shaped filter plate 4.
[0032] Furthermore, a guide rod 47 is fixedly installed inside the square groove 46, and the guide rod 47 is located on one side of the chain 51. A drive block 48 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting block 52, and the drive block 48 is fixedly connected to the scraper 49. When the connecting block 52 and the driving block 48 work together to move the scraper 49, the guide rod 47 passes through the driving block 48 and guides the driving block 48, so that the driving block 48 moves smoothly, which in turn drives the scraper 49 to move smoothly.
[0033] Furthermore, the vibration mechanism includes a movable frame 53, a cylinder 54, a push shaft 55, a third guide shaft 56, and a striking block 58. The movable frame 53 is fixedly mounted on the square slot 46. The cylinder 54 is arranged in an array on the top of the movable frame 53. The push shaft 55 passes through the inside of the cylinder 54. The third guide shaft 56 is arranged in an array inside the movable frame 53. The striking block 58 corresponding to the push shaft 55 is arranged inside the movable frame 53, and the push shaft 55 is fixedly connected to the striking block 58. The third guide shaft 56 passes through the striking block 58. A third spring 57 is arranged around the third guide shaft 56, and the ends of the third spring 57 are fixedly connected to the movable frame 53 and the striking block 58 respectively. A third electromagnet 59 corresponding to the striking block 58 is arranged in an array inside the movable frame 53, and the striking block 58 is made of magnetic material. The bottom of the drive block 48 is arc-shaped. The drive block 48 is located directly above the movable frame 53. When the drive block 48 moves, the bottom of the drive block 48 is in contact with the top of the push shaft 55, which will cause the push shaft 55 to move down. At the same time, it will drive the knocking block 58 to move down. As the drive block 48 continues to move and no longer contacts the top of the push shaft 55, the third spring 57 will reset and push the knocking block 58 to reset. The knocking block 58 will then collide with the movable frame 53, causing the movable frame 53 to vibrate. This process repeats and will cause the water guide channel to vibrate slightly. When the vibration mechanism stops working, the No. 3 electromagnet 59 can be controlled to generate magnetic force to move the striking block 58 downward, which in turn will drive the push shaft 55 downward. When the drive block 48 moves, the push shaft 55 will no longer move, that is, the vibration mechanism will not move and generate vibration.
[0034] Furthermore, a limiting rod 24 is fixedly installed inside the protective groove 21, a sliding plate 23 is installed inside the protective groove 21, and the limiting rod 24 passes through the sliding plate 23. A first limiting groove 25 is fixedly installed on the sliding plate 23. A drive rod 26 is rotatably connected to the side of the sliding plate 23. A threaded cylinder 27 is fixedly installed inside the protective groove 21. A threaded rod 28 is threadedly connected inside the threaded cylinder 27, and the end of the threaded rod 28 is fixedly connected to the drive rod 26. The chain 51 passes through the first limiting groove 25. The first limiting groove 25 limits and guides the chain 51, allowing the chain 51 to move smoothly and transmit power to the drive sprocket 22. Rotating the threaded rod 28, through the engagement of the threaded cylinder 27, causes the threaded rod 28 to move, which in turn drives the drive rod 26 to move. When the drive rod 26 moves, it pushes the sliding plate 23 and the first limiting groove 25 to move synchronously, thereby allowing the tension of the chain 51 to be adjusted through the first limiting groove 25. Two retractable bellows are fitted on the threaded rod 28, and one end of each bellows is fixedly connected to the threaded cylinder 27. The other end of one bellows is fixedly connected to the end turntable of the threaded rod 28, and the other end of the other bellows is retracted and fixedly connected to the sliding plate 23, so that the threaded rod 28 is in a closed space, preventing external factors from corroding and damaging the threaded rod 28. The threaded rod 28 is also treated with anti-corrosion measures.
[0035] Working Principle: First, when using the drainage channel for integrated photovoltaic module installation in the sunroom, the sunroom has pre-set brackets and holes for installing the integrated photovoltaic modules. After placing the mounting plate 2 at the installation location, the mounting plate 2 is positioned by bolts through the positioning holes 3, which in turn positions the drainage channel. This ensures the drainage channel is located at the photovoltaic module's drainage point. During rain or snow, rainwater falling on the photovoltaic modules slides down and collects in the drainage channel. The rainwater first passes through the U-shaped filter plate 4 for filtration, which removes large foreign objects, preventing them from accumulating in the U-shaped channel 8 and causing blockages that affect drainage. Furthermore, the U-shaped filter plate 4 allows filtered debris to accumulate in the middle, ensuring even filtration. Afterwards, water will also accumulate in the middle of the U-shaped filter plate 4. The water source can flow out from the side of the U-shaped filter plate 4 into the U-shaped channel 8 for discharge treatment, and drain through the U-shaped channel 8. The U-shaped cross section has a smoother fluid path, reducing blockage and water leakage. In the event of heavy rain, when the water flow area inside the water guide channel composed of the strip frame 1 and the U-shaped channel 8 is not convenient for timely drainage of rainwater, in order to avoid rainwater overflow, the controller 19 can control the dual output shaft motor 20 to work, which will drive the drive shaft 29 and drive sprocket 22 to rotate. Before the drive shaft 29 rotates, when the adjusting screw 30 is temporarily fixedly connected to the drive shaft 29, the first electromagnet 32 is controlled to work to generate a strong magnet. The generated magnetic force repels the magnetic force of the magnetic plate 5, which will push the plate strip 33 to move. The guide shaft 34 guides the slat 33, thereby moving the locking block 36. Conical grooves are arrayed on the drive shaft 29. When the locking block 36 engages with the corresponding conical groove, the adjusting screw 30 is temporarily fixedly connected to the drive shaft 29. When the dual-output shaft motor 20 moves, it drives the adjusting screw 30 to rotate. The rotation of the adjusting screw 30 moves the drive plate 37, which in turn moves the U-shaped groove 8, allowing for adjustment of its position. The movement of the U-shaped groove 8 also moves the connecting plate 7 inside the receiving groove 6. A sealing ring is provided between the connecting plate 7 and the receiving groove 6 to effectively prevent water from entering the receiving groove 6. When adjusting the position of the U-shaped groove 8, the second electromagnet 44 is activated to generate magnetic force, which will affect the sliding plate 40. A suction force is generated, causing the slide plate 40 to move. The second guide shaft 39 guides the slide plate 40, ensuring its smooth movement. After the slide plate 40 moves, it causes the positioning plate 42 to move and separate from the corresponding slot 15, thus removing the position limit on the connecting strip 13. The U-shaped plate 17 then drives the connecting strip 13 to move. The connecting strip 13, through the engagement with the cavity 11, is guided, ensuring its smooth movement. The U-shaped plate 17 can then adjust the position of the U-shaped groove 8, allowing it to move smoothly. Once the U-shaped groove 8 is moved to the predetermined position, the second electromagnet 44 stops working, and the second spring 43 resets, pushing the slide plate 40 and positioning plate 42 back to their original positions. The positioning plate 42 then moves through the through slot 14 into the cavity 11.When engaged with the corresponding slot 15, the connecting strip 13 is positioned, which in turn positions the U-shaped groove 8. An electromagnet can also be installed on the side of the second limiting groove 41 to generate magnetic force and position the sliding plate 40, ensuring the stability of the positioning plate 42. At this point, the U-shaped groove 8, connecting plate 7, and strip frame 1 form a water guide channel, expanding the internal drainage space of the channel. This facilitates dynamic adjustment of drainage capacity based on rainfall intensity, improving drainage efficiency during periods of heavy rainfall and preventing rainwater from overflowing. Overflow and water accumulation occur, and when adjusting the drainage space of the water guide channel, the movement of the dual-shaft motor 20 drives the drive sprocket 22 to move. Through the cooperation of the driven sprocket 50, the chain 51 moves smoothly. When the chain 51 moves, it drives the drive block 48 to move through the connecting block 52, which in turn drives the scraper 49 to move synchronously, scraping away the debris filtered and intercepted on the U-shaped filter plate 4, ensuring the filtration effect of the U-shaped filter plate 4. At the same time, rainwater washing can effectively remove the impurities adsorbed on the U-shaped filter plate 4. The cleaning process effectively prevents the U-shaped filter plate 4 from clogging. Because it's installed on a sunshade, the water channel is higher at one end than the other. Moving the scraper 49 pushes the scraped debris to the lower part of the water channel, allowing it to fall directly to the outside. Alternatively, a filter box can be installed on one side of the water channel to collect the removed impurities. When adjusting the position of the scraper 49, the bottom of the drive block 48 is arc-shaped, and the drive block 48 is located directly above the movable frame 53. The drive block 48 moves when the filter plate 48 is in motion. When the bottom of block 48 contacts the top of the push shaft 55, the push shaft 55 is pushed downwards, which in turn causes the striking block 58 to move downwards. As the driving block 48 continues to move and no longer contacts the top of the push shaft 55, the third spring 57 resets, pushing the striking block 58 back to its original position. The reset striking block 58 then collides with the movable frame 53, causing the movable frame 53 to vibrate. This process repeats, causing the water guide channel to vibrate slightly. This effectively prevents debris from accumulating inside the U-shaped channel 8 and causing blockage, thus ensuring the drainage efficiency of the water guide channel.
