[0022] Please refer to Figure 1—5, The self-cleaning system of a solar panel, comprising an installation base 100 and a solar panel 200 fixedly connected to the installation base 100. Among them, the solar panel 200 is arranged in an inclined structure, and a linear motion module is provided on the installation base 100 to match the solar panel 200. Specifically, the linear motion module includes a module frame 301, a moving table 302, a lead screw 303, a sliding column 304, and a motor 305. That is, the module frame 301 is fixedly connected to the installation base 100. A sliding column 304 is fixedly connected to one side of the module frame 301 where the solar panel 200 is located. A lead screw 303 is rotatably connected to the other side of the module frame 301 where the solar panel 200 is located. The moving table 302 is slidably connected to the sliding column 304. The lead screw 303 is threadedly connected to the moving table 302. The motor 305 is fixedly connected to the module frame 301, and the motor 305 is power-connected to the lead screw 303. When the motor 305 drives the lead screw 303 to rotate, the moving table 302 can linearly slide on the sliding column 304. In addition, a placement area 306 is provided between the top of the module frame 301 and the solar panel 200. Here, the placement area 306 serves as the original staying position of the moving table 302 to prevent the moving table 302 from blocking the solar panel 200;

[0023] Furthermore, multiple spray heads 307 are fixedly connected to the moving table 302. A cleaning brush 308 is also fixedly connected to the moving table 302. The spray heads 307 are located in the front position of the cleaning brush to achieve the effect of first flushing and then brushing. Further, a water storage tank 309 is provided on one side of the installation base 100. A filtering component 310 is provided on the water storage tank 309. A collection table 311 is fixedly connected to the installation base 100 corresponding to the bottom of the solar panel 200. The water storage tank 309 is lower than the collection table 311. A water collection groove 312 is provided in the collection table 311. The water collection groove 312 adopts an inclined structure. An outlet 313 is provided at the low end position of the water collection groove 312 on the collection table 311. A separation net is fixedly connected to the position of the outlet 313. The outlet 313 is connected to the filtering component 310 through a first pipeline 314;

[0024] Furthermore, water guide platforms 315 are fixedly connected to both sides of the solar panel 200 on the module rack 301. Water guide grooves are provided on the water guide platforms 315. The water guide platforms 315 correspond to the water collecting tank 312. A water pump 316 is also fixedly connected to the installation base 100.

The water outlet 313 of the water pump 316 is connected to multiple spray heads 307 through a third pipeline 318. In this way, the water in the water storage tank 309 can be pumped to the spray heads 307 through the water pump 316, and the water is sprayed onto the solar panel 200 through the spray heads 307. By driving the lead screw 303 to rotate through the motor 305, the spray heads 307 perform a linear motion along the solar panel 200, so that the solar panel 200 can be washed. Subsequently, the cleaning brush bristles further clean the solar panel 200. In this way, the sewage washed off can flow through the solar panel 200 and the water guide platform 315 into the water collecting tank 312. Then, under the action of gravity, the sewage enters the internal part of the filtering component 310 for filtering, and the filtered water enters the water storage tank 309 again. In this way, the recycling of water can be realized, water resources can be saved, and during the rainy season, the rainwater can also be stored in the water storage cavity, thereby effectively utilizing water resources;

[0025] Furthermore, in the embodiment, the filtering component 310 includes a filtering box 319, a mounting frame 320 and a filter screen 321. The filtering box 319 is fixedly connected to the top of the water storage tank 309. The bottom of the filtering box 319 is communicated with the inside of the water storage tank 309. Mounting guide rails are fixedly connected inside the filtering box 319. The filtering box 319 is provided with a mounting opening 322 matching the mounting guide rails. The mounting frame 320 passes through the mounting opening 322 and is slidably connected to the mounting guide rails. The filter screen 321 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 320. The first pipeline 314 is located at the top of the filtering box 319. In this way, the sewage washed off can be filtered through the filter screen 321. When the filter screen 321 needs to be replaced, only the mounting frame 320 needs to be slid off and replaced, which is convenient for maintenance.
