Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of water collection, drainage and cleaning of photovoltaic components, and in particular relates to an integrated photovoltaic water collection, drainage and cleaning device for a highway slope. Background Art
[0002] The environmental conditions for highway slopes in southern my country exhibit distinct regional characteristics. These are primarily characterized by abundant rainfall, high average annual precipitation, and a rainy season concentrated between May and September. Furthermore, the terrain is primarily plain and hilly, with highways often crossing hills and low mountains. While the overall terrain is low and gentle, it can be undulating in some areas, resulting in steeper slopes. Furthermore, some areas contain soft soil layers, which are susceptible to destabilization under the influence of water. This heavy rainfall reduces slope stability through various means, including increasing soil moisture and saturation, raising groundwater levels, altering the infiltration line, causing surface erosion, and affecting plant root systems, leading to geological hazards such as landslides and debris flows.
[0003] When a photovoltaic power station is installed on the slope of a highway, the photovoltaic panels are prone to accumulate a large amount of dust, sand, leaves and other debris. These accumulations will block sunlight from reaching the photovoltaic panels and reduce the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic modules. At the same time, due to the instability of rainfall, the water used to clean the photovoltaic panels mainly relies on manual transportation, and wiping the photovoltaic panels is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, there is no guarantee that the photovoltaic modules will work as planned after running for a period of time.
[0004] At present, most of the technologies for the above-mentioned slope photovoltaic problems only focus on one of the three aspects: water collection, drainage, and cleaning, and lack integrated design. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a multifunctional, integrated highway slope photovoltaic water collection, drainage and cleaning integrated device, which is particularly suitable for highway slopes in southern my country and can ensure the normal operation of slope photovoltaics.
[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] An integrated photovoltaic water collection, drainage and cleaning device for highway slopes mainly includes photovoltaic panels, water collection troughs, water collection tanks, rainwater buffer devices and automatic cleaning brushes; the photovoltaic panels are arranged on photovoltaic brackets, the lower bottom edge of the photovoltaic panels is fixed with a water collection trough, and nozzles are provided on both sides of the upper part of the photovoltaic panels; the middle pipe of the water collection trough is connected to the water collection tank, the two ends of the water collection tank are connected to the drainage trough, and a rainwater buffer device is provided under the drainage trough; the water collection tank is connected to the nozzle via a pipe and a water pump; the rainwater buffer device is mainly composed of a rainwater buffer plate; the automatic cleaning brush is mainly composed of a fixing, a telescopic rod and a brush head, the fixing is installed on the photovoltaic bracket, one end of the telescopic rod is connected to the fixing and the other end is connected to the brush head, and the brush head is placed on the upper surface of the photovoltaic panel.
[0008] Limiting plates are fixed on both sides of the photovoltaic panel, and the limiting plates are engaged with the outer wall of the drainage trough.
[0009] The middle of the water collection tank is connected to the water collection box through a rainwater filter pipe.
[0010] The top and bottom of the rainwater filter pipe are equipped with filter elements that are consistent with the inner diameter of the pipe.
[0011] The water collecting tank is placed on the water collecting tank base.
[0012] The right side of the water collecting tank is connected to the input end of the water pump through a pipe, and the output end of the water pump is connected to the rear part of the sprinkler head through a pipe.
[0013] A water collecting tank door is provided on the right side of the top surface of the water collecting tank, and a sealing ring is built into the opening of the door.
[0014] A solar controller and a battery are provided on the photovoltaic panel bracket. The solar controller is connected to the photovoltaic panel, and the battery is connected to the solar controller. The battery is connected to the water pump and the automatic cleaning brush and supplies power to them.
[0015] A wireless communication module and a command controller are built into the battery. The wireless communication module is electrically connected to the command controller, and the command controller is connected to and controls the water pump and the automatic cleaning brush.
[0016] The rainwater buffer plate is installed on the cement fixing block through the vertical pole.
[0017] To address the current photovoltaic issues on highway slopes in southern my country, the inventors have designed an integrated photovoltaic water collection, drainage, and cleaning device for highway slopes. The device primarily comprises a photovoltaic panel, a water collection trough, a water collection tank, a rainwater buffer device, and an automatic cleaning brush. The photovoltaic panel is mounted on a photovoltaic support, with a water collection trough fixed to the bottom edge of the panel and nozzles located on both sides of the top of the panel. A pipe connects the trough to the water collection tank, which is then connected to a drainage trough at both ends, with a rainwater buffer device located below the trough. The trough is connected to the nozzles via a pipe and a water pump. The rainwater buffer device primarily consists of a rainwater buffer plate. The automatic cleaning brush primarily consists of a fixing, a telescopic rod, and a brush head. The fixing is mounted on the photovoltaic panel, with one end of the telescopic rod connected to the fixing and the other end to the brush head, which is placed on the surface of the photovoltaic panel. The trough and water collection tank work together to store water during rainy days, while excess rainwater is dissipated through the rainwater buffer device, reducing the impact of rain on the slope and the likelihood of landslides. At the same time, the photovoltaic panels can be cleaned regularly by pumping water through a water pump and cooperating with a nozzle and an automatic cleaning brush. This can reduce the covering of the photovoltaic panels by dust, leaves, etc., and help the photovoltaic panels to better convert light energy into electrical energy, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the photovoltaic panels.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the photovoltaic water collection, drainage and cleaning integrated device for highway slopes of the present invention mainly includes a photovoltaic panel 13, a water collection tank 1, a water collection tank 4, a rainwater buffer device 7 and an automatic cleaning brush 10.
[0027] The photovoltaic panel is set on the photovoltaic bracket 12, and a water collection trough is fixed on the bottom edge of the photovoltaic panel. Limit plates 2 are fixed on both sides of the photovoltaic panel, and the limit plates are engaged with the outer wall of the drainage trough. Sprinklers 9 are provided on both sides of the top of the photovoltaic panel.
[0028] The middle of the water collection tank is connected to the water collection box through the rainwater filter pipe 4. The top and bottom of the rainwater filter pipe are built with filter elements that match the inner diameter of the pipe. The two ends of the water collection tank are connected to the drainage trough 6. A rainwater buffer device is set below the outlet of the drainage trough.
[0029] The water collecting tank is placed on the water collecting tank base 5. The right side of the water collecting tank is connected to the input end of the water pump 8 through a pipe, and the output end of the water pump is connected to the rear of the nozzle through a pipe. The right side of the top surface of the water collecting tank has a water collecting tank door, and the door opening is built-in with a sealing ring.
[0030] The rainwater buffer system primarily consists of a rainwater buffer plate, which is screwed to a vertical pole and then mounted on a concrete fixing block, which is buried underground. When rainwater flows through the gutter onto the rainwater buffer plate, most of the impact force is dissipated, and the rainwater then falls into the slope as droplets, reducing the possibility of landslides.
[0031] The automatic cleaning brush mainly consists of a fixing, a telescopic rod and a brush head. The fixing is installed in the middle of the top of the photovoltaic bracket. One end of the telescopic rod is connected to the fixing and the other end is connected to the brush head. The brush head is placed on the upper surface of the photovoltaic panel.
[0032] The photovoltaic panel bracket is equipped with a solar controller 14 and a battery 11. The solar controller is connected to the photovoltaic panel, and the battery is connected to the solar controller. The battery is also connected to and supplies power to a water pump and an automatic cleaning brush. Specifically, a cable connects the photovoltaic panel to the input of the solar controller, and the output of the solar controller to the battery. The output of the battery is connected to the input of the water pump and the automatic cleaning brush via wiring. The battery also contains a built-in wireless communication module 15 and a command controller 16. The wireless communication module is electrically connected to the command controller, which in turn connects to and controls the water pump and automatic cleaning brush. This allows full utilization of rainwater resources, enabling automatic cleaning of the photovoltaic panel and improving its operation.
