[0028] Cleaning devices installed at bus stops regularly clean the photovoltaic panels. During cleaning, water jets from above the panels to flush the surface. The water flows down the panels, cleaning dust from the panels and absorbing airborne dust near the bus stop. The water flows over the panels and falls into a sump. This sump not only collects the water used to clean the panels but also collects rainwater during rainy days. The water collected by the sump flows into a soilless cultivation system, providing water for hydroponic plants, which contribute to the greening of the bus stop.
[0029] This utility model combines photovoltaic cleaning and dust removal with soilless cultivation, improving the efficiency of photovoltaic panel power generation through cleaning and dust removal. Using water from cleaning the photovoltaic panels for soilless cultivation reduces water waste. The photovoltaic panel cleaning process absorbs dust and pollutants from the air, improving the air quality near the bus stop. Plants absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis and release oxygen, providing ecological greening. The greened bus stop creates a more aesthetically pleasing and livable environment, enhancing the passenger experience. Plants provide shade and cooling, offering passengers a comfortable resting place. The combined generation and use of photovoltaic energy storage can provide green electricity for the bus stop, reducing carbon emissions.
[0030] Preferably, the bus stop further comprises a water tank 50, the water tank 50 being in communication with the water collecting tank 31, the water tank 50 being in communication with the soilless cultivation device 40 by water, and the water tank 50 being in communication with the cleaning device 20 by water;
[0031] The water collected by the water collecting tank 31 can enter the water tank 50 for storage. The water in the water tank 50 can flow into the soilless cultivation device 40 through the waterway. The water tank 50 can supply water to the cleaning device 20 .
[0032] Water tank 50 stores excess water and supplies it to the cleaning system, ensuring regular cleaning of the photovoltaic panels and maintaining stable power generation efficiency. Water collected in tank 50 is also regularly supplied to the soilless cultivation system at a preset flow rate, keeping the hydroponic plants alive and maintaining the greenery of the bus stop. A pump is installed in the water tank to power the water flow. This pump is conventional, and its specific structure and design are not detailed here.
[0033] The bus stop further includes a main frame 60 , on which a bus sign 61 is provided. The soilless cultivation device 40 is provided on the main frame 60 .
[0034] The main frame 60 is made of steel and serves as the main framework of the bus stop. Bus signs 61 are arranged on the main frame as needed, and the number and location of bus signs can be increased or decreased as needed. The location of the soilless cultivation device 40 is primarily designed to avoid interfering with the display of the bus signs and passengers. The main frame 60 provides structural support and centralizes components. Placing the bus signs and soilless cultivation device on the main frame prevents damage and facilitates maintenance.
[0035] Preferably, the bus stop further comprises an energy storage device 70, and the photovoltaic panel 10 is electrically connected to the energy storage device 70;

[0037] The bus sign 61 is an electronic sign, which is powered by the photovoltaic panel 10 and the energy storage device 70 .
[0038] The advertising screen and bus sign are powered by photovoltaic panels and an energy storage device. This configuration offers the advantage that even if one of the components fails, the bus sign will continue to function normally, without affecting the bus stop's normal operation. Power generated by the photovoltaic panels continuously charges the energy storage device, and an inverter electrically connects the photovoltaic panels to the billboard and bus sign for proper operation. The advertising screen provides economic benefits for the bus stop. Two sets of hydroponic cultivation devices and advertising screens are placed symmetrically around the bus sign, and the number of these can be increased or decreased depending on the specific situation.
[0039] The top plate 30 is fixedly connected to the top of the main frame 60 . The area of the top plate 30 covers the entire area of the bus stop. The top plate 30 is used to protect the bus stop from rain and sun.
[0040] The roof collects rainwater on rainy days, playing the role of collecting water, blocking rain and shading.
[0041] Preferably, a through column 81 is connected between the top plate 30 and the main frame 60 , and the through column 81 has a hollow space inside, and the hollow space is used for laying waterways and wiring.
[0042] The waterway connects the cleaning system, water collection tank, hydroponic cultivation system, and water tank. The electrical wiring connects the advertising screen (LCD screen), bus sign, energy storage device, and water tank pump. The through-hole 81 protects the waterway and electrical wiring, preventing them from being exposed and easily damaged.
[0043] See also Figures 1 to 5 , the photovoltaic panel 10 is fixedly connected to the top plate 30 through a plurality of support frames 82;
[0044] The projected area of the photovoltaic panel 10 on the top plate 30 is smaller than the area of the water collecting tank 31 .
[0045] The water collection tank 31 is larger than the entire area of the photovoltaic panel 10. Its function is to fully receive the water flow for cleaning the photovoltaic panel, prevent the water flow from flowing downwards and affecting passengers' waiting and rest, and prevent the dirty water flow from affecting bus signs, etc., thereby improving comfort and safety.
[0046] Combine Figure 7 As shown, the photovoltaic panel 10 is arranged at an angle, and the cleaning device 20 is arranged at one end of the top of the photovoltaic panel 10; the cleaning device 20 is a water pipe.
[0047] Water flows outward from the water holes in the water pipe, flowing down the inclined photovoltaic panels, cleaning the surface of the photovoltaic panels and removing dust as it flows. The structure utilizes the effect of gravity, allowing the cleaning device to clean the surface of the photovoltaic panels without any other structure.
[0048] Preferably, in order to further enhance the comfort of the bus stop, the shell of the water tank 50 and the shell of the energy storage device 70 are both bench structures for passengers to rest. The energy storage device and the water tank are located in front of the main facade of the bus stop sign, and can serve as a waiting area bench to provide a resting place for passengers.
[0049] The technical benefits of this utility model lie in addressing the issue of dust accumulation affecting photovoltaic panels at bus stops, which can impact power generation efficiency. This approach utilizes water to clean the panels, combining water used for cleaning the panels with soilless cultivation to effectively utilize water resources. Furthermore, the utility model addresses the issue of electricity consumption for bus stop advertising screens, bus signs, soilless cultivation equipment, and water pumps by utilizing photovoltaic energy storage in a coordinated and mutually beneficial manner, thereby increasing solar energy utilization.
