[0002] Mobile photovoltaic panels are a type of mobile photovoltaic power generation system. These systems typically consist of photovoltaic panels, mounting brackets, mobile devices, and related electrical and control equipment. Mobile photovoltaic panels were originally designed to address the limitations of fixed photovoltaic panels in certain scenarios, such as unstable lighting conditions and limited land. Mobile photovoltaic panels can be moved as needed to locations with better lighting conditions, thereby improving the efficiency of photovoltaic power generation.

[0003] At present, most of the existing photovoltaic panels have relatively simple structures and functions, and can only generate photovoltaic power through movement and adjustment. However, due to the influence of the external environment, a thick layer of dust and impurities will adhere to the surface of the photovoltaic panels after long-term use, which may affect the subsequent power generation effect. Personnel are required to clean the photovoltaic panels regularly, which increases the workload of personnel and reduces the practicality of photovoltaic panels. Therefore, we propose a mobile photovoltaic panel cleaning mechanism for outdoor use to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Reference Figure 1-5 A mobile photovoltaic panel cleaning mechanism for outdoor use includes a mounting box 1, a bracket 4 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting box 1, a base 6 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the bracket 4, and a photovoltaic panel body 2 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting box 1; a support plate 5 is fixedly mounted on one side of the bracket 4, and a water tank 3 is fixedly mounted on the side of the support plate 5 away from the bracket 4, a water storage pipe 9 is provided above the water tank 3, and a plurality of nozzles 10 are fixedly mounted on the top of the water storage pipe 9 in a linear array; a brush cylinder 12 is provided on the top of the photovoltaic panel body 2, a limiting groove is provided on one side wall of the mounting box 1, and a cleaning component connected to the brush cylinder 12 is provided on one side of the mounting box 1; a universal wheel 7 is provided at the bottom of the base 6, and cylinders 8 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the bottom of the base 6.

[0029] According to the above embodiment, it can be seen that: by starting the cleaning component, the brush barrel 12 will also rotate, thereby making the brush barrel 12 produce the effect of cleaning while rotating and moving, and by starting the built-in water pump inside the water tank 3, the clean water is transmitted to the inside of the water storage pipe 9 through the transmission pipe, and then the top surface of the photovoltaic panel body 2 is continuously sprayed and rinsed through multiple nozzles 10, thereby effectively cleaning the photovoltaic panel, reducing the workload of personnel, and improving the practicality of the photovoltaic panel cleaning mechanism.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] Reference Figure 1-5A mobile photovoltaic panel cleaning mechanism for outdoor use, the cleaning component includes an electric push rod 14 arranged on one side of the installation box 1 and located in the limiting groove, one end of the electric push rod 14 is fixedly installed with the inner wall of one side of the limiting groove, and the other end of the electric push rod 14 is fixedly installed with a slider 15 adapted to the limiting groove, and a connecting rod 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the slider 15, and the connecting rod 13 is U-shaped, and the outside of the end of the connecting rod 13 away from the slider 15 is rotatably connected to the inside of the brush tube 12.

[0032] Fixed blocks 11 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the water storage pipe 9, the bottom of the fixed block 11 is fixedly installed on the top of the water tank 3, and the bottom of the water storage pipe 9 is connected to a transmission pipe connected to the inside of the water tank 3.

[0033] According to the above embodiment, it can be seen that: the electric push rod 14 is activated by an external controller so that one end of the push rod drives the slider 15 to slide and move in the limit groove. When the slider 15 moves, it immediately drives the connecting rod 13 to move together, and drives the brush barrel 12 to move to clean the top of the photovoltaic panel body 2. Since the brush barrel 12 and the connecting rod 13 are in a rotational relationship, when the multiple bristles of the brush barrel 12 contact the top surface of the photovoltaic panel body 2, the brush barrel 12 will also rotate, thereby making the brush barrel 12 produce a cleaning effect while rotating and moving. By activating the built-in water pump in the water tank 3, clean water is transmitted to the inside of the water storage pipe 9 through the transmission pipe, and then the top surface of the photovoltaic panel body 2 is continuously sprayed and rinsed by multiple nozzles 10, effectively cleaning the photovoltaic panel, reducing the workload of personnel, and improving the practicality of the photovoltaic panel cleaning mechanism. Among them, the built-in water pump in the water tank 3 and the electric push rod 14 are both connected through an external controller and a power supply. They are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] Example 3

[0035] Reference Figure 1-5 A mobile photovoltaic panel cleaning mechanism for outdoor use has four universal wheels 7 , and the tops of the four universal wheels 7 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the base 6 .

[0036] A scale is fixedly mounted on one side outer wall of the water tank 3 .

[0037] Protective pads are fixedly installed on the bottoms of the two cylinders 8.

[0038] According to the above embodiment, it can be seen that: through the setting of the universal wheel 7, personnel can start the two cylinders 8 through an external controller and lift them simultaneously to make the four universal wheels 7 contact the ground, thereby making it convenient for personnel to push the photovoltaic panel to move. Through the setting of the scale, it is convenient for personnel to understand the liquid level of the clean water inside the water tank 3 by looking at the scale. Through the setting of the protective pad, the protective pad can provide a protective effect for the cylinder 8, avoiding the situation where the bottom end of the cylinder 8 directly contacts the ground and causes wear.

[0039] In summary:

[0040] The electric push rod 14 is started by an external controller so that one end of the push rod drives the slider 15 to slide in the limit groove. When the slider 15 moves, it drives the connecting rod 13 to move together, and drives the brush barrel 12 to move to clean the top of the photovoltaic panel body 2. Since the brush barrel 12 and the connecting rod 13 are in a rotational relationship, when the multiple bristles of the brush barrel 12 contact the top surface of the photovoltaic panel body 2, the brush barrel 12 will also rotate, thereby making the brush barrel 12 produce the effect of cleaning while rotating and moving. By starting the built-in water pump in the water tank 3, the clean water is transmitted to the inside of the water storage pipe 9 through the transmission pipe, and then the top surface of the photovoltaic panel body 2 is continuously sprayed and rinsed through multiple nozzles 10, which effectively cleans the photovoltaic panel, reduces the workload of personnel, and improves the practicality of the photovoltaic panel cleaning mechanism.
