Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of photovoltaic panel cleaning technology, specifically a photovoltaic panel cleaning method that combines spraying and blowing. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic panels generally refer to photovoltaic (PV) modules, which are power generation devices that produce direct current (DC) electricity when exposed to sunlight. Nowadays, with the rapid development of the new energy industry, the photovoltaic industry, as an emerging energy sector, has followed market development trends and has a huge market demand. Since PV panels are generally installed outdoors, dust and debris in the air easily adhere to the surface of the PV panels. Over time, this accumulation will affect the absorption rate of light energy. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the surface of the PV panels regularly. In the past, cleaning work generally relied on manual labor, which was not only labor-intensive but also had low cleaning efficiency. Therefore, cleaning equipment is needed.

[0003] Chinese patent CN107309231A discloses a photovoltaic panel cleaning method that combines spraying and blowing. The bottom ends of the soap tank and the clean water tank are connected to the inlet end of a reversing valve through soap water pipe and clean water pipe, respectively. The outlet end of the reversing valve is connected to a cleaning pipe located on one side of the photovoltaic panel. The cleaning pipe has multiple cleaning nozzles on its wall. A cleaning device is provided on the photovoltaic panel. The cleaning device includes a cleaning roller positioned directly above the photovoltaic panel. The cleaning roller is mounted on a connecting shaft. Sliding screw blocks are fixed to both ends of the connecting shaft. A threaded through hole in the sliding screw block is threadedly connected to a screw rod that runs the entire length. The right end of the screw rod is fixed to the output shaft end of a synchronous motor.

[0004] Although the aforementioned cleaning device sprays the photovoltaic panel surface with soapy water and clean water respectively, and then uses the brush end and felt end to sweep away dust and water stains, the device is partially located above the photovoltaic panel, which partially blocks the photovoltaic panel. The device's structural design is not reasonable enough, reducing the area of ​​the photovoltaic panel that can absorb light energy, and therefore needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a photovoltaic panel cleaning method that combines spraying and blowing to solve the problems of partial obstruction and incomplete cleaning mentioned in the background art.

[0006] The above objectives are achieved through the following scheme: A method for cleaning photovoltaic panels using a combination of spraying and blowing, comprising the following steps: (1) Connect the water pipe and the air pipe to the external water source and the air pump respectively, start the rotary drive to drive the rotating rod to rotate, the rotating rod drives the active bevel gear to rotate and under the transmission action of the driven bevel gear, the screw rotates inside the strip groove; (2) The slider drives the cleaning plate to move horizontally, and the telescopic drive drives the brush plate to move downward, so that the cleaning brush contacts the surface of the photovoltaic panel. During the movement of the cleaning plate, the water source enters the spray pipe through the water guide pipe and is sprayed out through the nozzle to rinse the photovoltaic panel. (3) Next, the cleaning brush is used to scrub the photovoltaic panel. The cleaning effect is good. The cleaning brush moves back and forth on the surface of the photovoltaic panel to make the cleaning more thorough. After cleaning is completed; (4) Air is delivered into the blower pipe through the air duct, and the air is sprayed out through the exhaust pipe and blown onto the photovoltaic panel, so that the water stains on the surface of the photovoltaic panel dry quickly. By combining rinsing and blowing, the photovoltaic panel is kept dry after cleaning.

The spray pipe 11 is installed on one side of the bottom end of the cleaning plate 4; The bottom of each spray pipe 11 is equipped with equally spaced nozzles to facilitate spraying water onto the surface of the photovoltaic panel. The blower tube 12 is installed on the other side of the bottom end of the cleaning plate 4; The bottom of each blower 12 is equipped with an equally spaced exhaust pipe to facilitate the even blowing of air onto the surface of the photovoltaic panel. A brush plate 13 is provided below the cleaning plate 4 between the spray pipe 11 and the blower pipe 12, and a dovetail groove 14 is provided inside the brush plate 13. The cleaning brush 15 is located inside the dovetail groove 14; Both ends of the cleaning brush 15 are connected to the brush plate 13 by mounting bolts 16, which makes it easy to disassemble and replace the cleaning brush 15. The top of the cleaning plate 4 is provided with a water guide pipe 18 and an air guide pipe 19.
