[0002] The honeycomb-inspired fractal structure solar collector is an innovative design inspired by the honeycomb structure found in nature. Its core lies in achieving efficient solar energy collection and thermal management through a biomimetic porous structure. Combined with fractal geometry to optimize the heat transfer path, it improves collection efficiency and reduces heat loss. A search reveals Chinese Patent Publication No. CN104833113B, which discloses a double-concave honeycomb hollow structure solar collector, including a collector core, a light-transmitting cover, an insulation layer, and a frame. The honeycomb hollow design increases the effective light-receiving area of ​​the solar collector by more than 1.8 times, significantly improving heat absorption. The ability to absorb solar radiation: Sunlight shines on the inner wall of the concave honeycomb, and after multiple absorption, reflection and absorption by the inner wall, almost all of the solar radiation energy is absorbed. The existing technical solutions mentioned above have the following defects: there is no supporting structure, the angle of the collector cannot be adjusted, it is not conducive to large-area contact with the sun, resulting in low absorption and utilization rate, and there is no cleaning structure. After long-term use, a lot of dust or impurities will adhere to the transparent cover, blocking sunlight and affecting the use of the collector.

[0043] A method for manufacturing a solar thermal collector with a honeycomb biomimetic fractal structure includes the following steps:

[0044] S1: Install the solar collector in a sunny, unobstructed open area, ensuring that the support base plate 2 is firmly in contact with the ground and avoids tilting. Check that the connection between the base 1 and the support base plate 2 is stable and prevents loosening.

[0045] S2: During the initial adjustment, the servo motor 305 in the adjustment mechanism 3 is activated, which drives the threaded block 308 to move through the threaded rod 307, thereby driving the connecting rod 311 to adjust the tilt angle of the outer frame 5. At the same time, when the threaded rod 307 drives the gear 312 to rotate, it meshes with the gear ring 303. In this way, the rotating drum 302 rotates and adjusts its orientation under the support of the support column 301, so that the surface of the honeycomb heat collection plate 603 matches the angle of solar irradiation, maximizing the absorption of solar radiation.

[0046] S3: Open the inlet valve 609 and inject antifreeze into the water storage chamber 604 of the honeycomb heat collector plate 603.

[0048] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0049] In summary, the honeycomb biomimetic fractal structure solar collector and its manufacturing method, through the setting of an adjustment mechanism 3, in which the servo motor 305 drives the threaded rod 307 to rotate, the threaded block 308 moves horizontally along the support plate 309, and through the connecting rod 311 pushes the outer frame 5 to rotate around the rotating seat 4, adjusting the horizontal azimuth angle of the collector plate to ensure that it is always facing the sun. When adjusting the azimuth, the rotation of the threaded rod 307 synchronously drives the gear 312 to rotate, and the gear 312 meshes with the gear ring 303 fixed to the base 1, driving the turntable 302 to rotate around the support column 301, adjusting the angle of the outer frame 5 to match the change of the sun's azimuth, achieving all-weather high-efficiency heat collection, and realizing the purpose of having an adjustable angle with a support structure. Through the setting of a cleaning mechanism 7 and a driving mechanism 8, the cleaning mechanism 7... The strip plate 74 is elastically connected to the rectangular plate 73 by a fixed spring 75, so that the cleaning brush 77 at the bottom of the horizontal plate 76 is always in close contact with the surface of the transparent plate 605, adapting to the cleaning needs under different working conditions. The servo motor 81 in the drive mechanism 8 drives the threaded rotating rod 83 to rotate, and the threaded slider 84 drives the moving plate 72 to slide along the mounting frame 71, thereby driving the cleaning brush 77 to wipe the surface of the transparent plate 605 back and forth to remove dust and other contaminants and maintain light transmittance. This achieves the purpose of having a cleaning structure and solves the problems of not having a support structure, which makes it impossible to adjust the angle of the solar collector, which is not conducive to large-area contact with the sun, resulting in low absorption and utilization rate. In addition, without a cleaning structure, a lot of dust or impurities will adhere to the transparent cover after long-term use, blocking sunlight and affecting the use of the solar collector.

10. A method for manufacturing a solar thermal collector with a honeycomb biomimetic fractal structure according to any one of claims 1-9, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: S1: Install the solar collector in a sunny, unobstructed open area, ensure that the support base plate (2) is in stable contact with the ground and avoid tilting, and check that the connection between the base (1) and the support base plate (2) is stable and prevent loosening. S2: During the initial adjustment, the servo motor (305) in the adjustment mechanism (3) is started, and the threaded block (308) is driven to move through the threaded rod (307), which drives the connecting rod (311) to adjust the tilt angle of the outer frame (5). At the same time, when the threaded rod (307) drives the gear (312) to rotate, it meshes with the gear ring (303). In this way, the rotating cylinder (302) rotates and adjusts its orientation under the support of the support column (301), so that the surface of the honeycomb heat collection plate (603) matches the angle of solar radiation, maximizing the absorption of solar radiation. S3: Open the valve of the inlet pipe (609) and inject antifreeze into the water storage chamber (604) of the honeycomb heat collector plate (603). When the liquid level reaches 80% of the volume of the water storage chamber (604), close the valve and check whether the outlet pipe (610) is unobstructed. Ensure that there is no blockage before use. S4: During use, the transparent plate (605) in the solar thermal collector needs to be cleaned regularly. Start the servo motor (81) to drive the threaded slider (84) to move the moving plate (72) so that the cleaning brush (77) can wipe the surface of the transparent plate (605) back and forth to remove dust or dirt and perform cleaning operations.
