[0002] Solar photovoltaic modules are the core and most important part of the solar power generation system. Their function is to convert solar energy into electrical energy, or to store it in batteries, or to drive the load. The quality and cost of solar photovoltaic modules will directly determine the quality and cost of the entire power system; dust on the surface of photovoltaic modules seriously affects their power generation efficiency. my country's large-scale photovoltaic power stations are mainly concentrated in the Gobi Desert area in the west, which is dry and water-scarce, and transportation is inconvenient. Manual cleaning of photovoltaic modules is labor-intensive and costly. In addition, dust accumulation will cause hot spot effects and affect the life of the modules, so they need to be cleaned. The existing photovoltaic module cleaning device flushes the photovoltaic modules through the set water pump, which wastes water resources.

[0023] See also Figure 1-3 The utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic cleaning device for solar photovoltaic components, comprising:

[0024] A fixed seat 1, a photovoltaic module 3 is connected to the middle part of the upper end surface of the fixed seat 1 through an adjustable hinge driving seat 2, the photovoltaic module 3 is used to convert the absorbed solar energy into green electric energy, and strip limit plates 4 are provided on the two sides of the upper end surface of the photovoltaic module 3, and the strip limit plates 4 are transversely arranged on the front and rear sides of the external frame of the photovoltaic module 3 to limit the strip bracket 6 and the cleaning roller 5 when sliding to one side to ensure the stability of uniform sliding, and a cleaning roller 5 for cleaning the surface of the photovoltaic module 3 is meshed and slid between the strip limit plates 4, and the surface of the cleaning roller 5 is evenly provided with a silicone brush to clean the surface of the photovoltaic module 3, and gear parts 9 arranged on the inner side of the strip limit plates 4 are installed on the rotating shafts at both ends of the cleaning roller 5, and the gear parts 9 are arranged on the rotating shafts at both ends of the cleaning roller 5, and the cleaning roller 5 is driven to slide through the rotating shaft under the rotation of the gear parts 9;

[0025] The strip bracket 6 is installed on the rotating shafts at both ends of the cleaning roller 5 through the support frames provided on the bottom sides of both ends. The strip water tank 7 can be fixed to the corresponding upper end of the cleaning roller 5 through the strip bracket 6 so as to slide synchronously with the direction of the cleaning roller 5. The upper end surface of the strip bracket 6 is provided with a strip water tank 7 for cleaning the surface of the photovoltaic module 3. Water can be filled into the strip water tank 7 so that the water is sprayed on the surface of the photovoltaic module 3 in the cleaning direction, and the design of the strip water tank 7 will not block the sunlight of the photovoltaic module 3. The lower end surface of the strip bracket 6 and the two sides of the cleaning roller 5 are vertically provided with strip scrapers 8 for scraping water and cleaning the surface of the photovoltaic module 3. The strip scrapers 8 are made of rubber and will not cause surface damage when scraping water and stains on the photovoltaic module 3.

[0026] A limiting strip groove 10 is penetrated through the side of the strip limiting plate 4.

The bottom surface of the inner side of the limiting strip groove 10 is provided with a tooth condition 11 with a strip structure, so that the gear part 9 can mesh and rotate on the tooth condition 11 when the photovoltaic component 3 is tilted, and drive the cleaning roller 5 to rotate to clean the photovoltaic component 3. The rotating shafts at both ends of the cleaning roller 5 extend to the inside of the limiting strip groove 10, and the gear part 9 meshes with the tooth condition 11 to drive the cleaning roller 5 to rotate to clean the surface of the photovoltaic component 3, so that the cleaning roller 5 can maintain stability when it rotates and slides to one side.

[0027] Bearings are embedded in the support plates at both ends of the strip bracket 6, so that the strip bracket 6 does not follow the change of angle direction during the rotation of the cleaning roller 5, and the support plates are sleeved on the rotating shafts at both ends of the cleaning roller 5 through the bearings. A limit block 12 is provided on one side of the support plate and extends to the upper end of the strip limit plate 4, which is beneficial to the independent rotation of the cleaning roller 5 without affecting the linear sliding of the strip water tank 7. A ball 13 is movably embedded in the bottom surface of the limit block 12, and the ball 13 is attached to the upper end surface of the strip limit plate 4. When the strip bracket 6 slides, the stability of the strip bracket 6 and the inclination of the strip water tank 7 can be guaranteed by the combination of the ball 13 and the limit block 12.

[0028] Blocks 14 are provided on both sides of the interior of the strip water tank 7, so that the water injected into the strip water tank 7 is always in the middle so that it can flow obliquely to both sides. A water inlet chamber 15 is provided inside the upper end of the block 14, so that the inclined water can enter the water inlet chamber 15 at one end. The bottom surface of the water inlet chamber 15 is provided with a water down pipe 16 that runs through both sides of the bottom of the strip bracket 6, so that the water entering the water inlet chamber 15 at one end can be sprayed on the front end of the cleaning roller 5 through the water down pipe 16 to wet the surface of the photovoltaic module 3 for cleaning. A water inlet hole 17 is provided on one side of the water inlet chamber 15, which is conducive to the water flowing into the water inlet chamber at the corresponding inclined end when it is inclined to one side. A water storage chamber 18 is provided between the blocks 14 on both sides of the interior of the strip water tank 7, and a water injection pipe fitting is penetrated through the top of the water storage chamber 18 and located in the middle of the strip water tank 7, so that the water added to the water storage chamber 18 can be added through the water injection pipe fitting, and the water level of the added water should not exceed the height above the water inlet hole 17.

[0029] The adjusting hinge driving seat 2 is arranged at the end center position of the fixing seat 1, and an adjusting servo motor 19 is provided on one side of the adjusting hinge driving seat 2, driving the rotating shaft of the adjusting servo motor 19 to extend through and extend to the inner side wall of the adjusting hinge driving seat 2 and be rotatably connected through the bearing seat. A hinge top seat 20 is fixed at the bottom center position of the photovoltaic component 3, and one end of the hinge top seat 20 extends to the interior of the adjusting hinge driving seat 2 and is fixedly connected with the rotating shaft of the adjusting servo motor 19, so that the inclination angle bar at one end of the photovoltaic component 3 can be adjusted, so that the cleaning roller 5 can slide toward the inclination angle end of the photovoltaic component 3 to perform cleaning work.

[0030] Specifically, when in use, when it is necessary to clean the photovoltaic module, the servo motor 19 is started and adjusted to drive the hinge top seat 20 to rotate at a tilt angle. Before that, water is filled into the water storage chamber 18 so as not to exceed the water inlet hole 17. Then, the hinge top seat 20 moves at a tilt angle to make the photovoltaic module 3 move at a tilt angle. After the photovoltaic module 3 moves at a certain tilt angle, the cleaning roller 5 uses the tilt angle of one end of the photovoltaic module 3 to mesh and rotate on the gear parts 9 at both ends on the gear condition 11. The meshing rotation of the gear part 11 drives the cleaning roller 5 to not only rotate, but also rotate through The limiting strip groove 10 slides toward one inclined end, and at the same time, the water in the water storage chamber 18 follows the inclination and flows to the water inlet hole 17 on the side block 14 in the strip water tank 7 and flows into the water inlet chamber, so that the water is sprayed out by the downpipe 16 to the front end of the cleaning roller 5 sliding toward one end to wet the dust on the photovoltaic component 3, and the cleaning roller 5 is used to clean the dust and stains, and after cleaning, the strip scraper 8 is used to scrape the sewage on the surface of the cleaned photovoltaic component 3, and the scraped sewage flows to the two ends of the strip scraper 8 and is discharged to the outside to achieve the cleaning of the photovoltaic component 3.

[0031] And by adjusting the rotation of the servo motor in the other direction, the inclination angle of one end of the photovoltaic component 3 is adjusted, so that the cleaning roller 5 rotates and moves to the other inclined end through the gear part 9 to clean the photovoltaic component, so that the reciprocating angle inclination of the two ends of the photovoltaic component 3 can make the cleaning roller 5 perform reciprocating cleaning work, and when the cleaning roller 5 rotates, the strip bracket 6 will not follow the angle adjustment due to the design of the bearing part. At the same time, the combination of the limit block 12 and the ball 13 can make the strip bracket 6 remain stable when sliding, and will not block the sunlight from irradiating the photovoltaic component to convert light energy into electrical energy.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
