Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic panel technology, and in particular to a snow removal device for the surface of a solar photovoltaic panel. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread application of solar photovoltaic panels in cold regions, snow accumulation on the surface of photovoltaic panels can affect their photoelectric conversion efficiency and may even cause equipment damage. In order to ensure the stable operation of photovoltaic systems and improve power generation efficiency, the development of effective surface snow removal devices has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0003] However, in actual use, the following shortcomings still exist. For example, the existing snow removal devices on the surface of solar photovoltaic panels are not very effective at removing snow or ice. Snow or ice covering the surface of the photovoltaic panels will block sunlight, preventing the photovoltaic panels from fully absorbing light energy for photoelectric conversion. Even a small amount of snow or ice will significantly reduce the power generation of the photovoltaic panels. Poor snow removal may require more frequent manual cleaning, which not only increases labor intensity but also increases operation and maintenance costs.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model proposes a snow removal device for the surface of solar photovoltaic panels to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies and propose a snow removal device for the surface of solar photovoltaic panels.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a snow removal device for the surface of a solar photovoltaic panel, comprising a solar photovoltaic panel, wherein a movable component is provided on the solar photovoltaic panel, and a snow removal component is provided on the movable component;

[0007] The movable component includes a fixed block, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the fixed block, a first bevel gear fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, a second bevel gear meshing with the first bevel gear, a screw fixedly connected to the second bevel gear, a slider threadedly connected to the screw, and a sliding groove formed on the fixed block.

[0008] The snow removal assembly includes a rotating rod, a support rod fixedly connected to the rotating rod, a limit block fixedly connected to the support rod, a telescopic rod fixedly connected inside the limit block, a scraper fixedly connected to the telescopic rod, and a telescopic spring provided on the telescopic rod.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the fixing block is fixedly connected to the solar photovoltaic panel, a first drive motor is mounted on the fixing block, and the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the first drive motor.

[0010] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: since the fixing block is fixedly connected to the solar photovoltaic panel, the solar photovoltaic panel can support and fix the fixing block; since the fixing block is equipped with a first drive motor and the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the first drive motor, starting the first drive motor will cause the output end of the first drive motor to drive the rotating shaft to rotate.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the screw is rotatably connected to the fixed block, and the slider is slidably connected within the groove.

[0012] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: since the screw is rotatably connected to the fixed block, the fixed block can support and limit the rotation of the screw when it rotates; since the slider is slidably connected in the groove, the groove can limit the movement of the slider when it moves.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a second drive motor is mounted on the slider, and the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the second drive motor.

[0014] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that, since a second drive motor is installed on the slider and the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the second drive motor, starting the second drive motor will cause the output end of the second drive motor to drive the rotating rod to rotate.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the scraper is slidably connected within the limiting block, one end of the telescopic spring is fixedly connected to the limiting block, and the other end of the telescopic spring is fixedly connected to the scraper.

[0016] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are as follows: Since the scraper is slidably connected inside the limiting block, the limiting block can limit the scraper. Since one end of the telescopic spring is fixedly connected to the limiting block and the other end of the telescopic spring is fixedly connected to the scraper, the telescopic spring can provide elastic force to the scraper. This allows the scraper to act as a buffer when it comes into contact with the surface of the solar photovoltaic panel, preventing the snow removal component from damaging the solar photovoltaic panel when removing snow from its surface.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the moving component is provided with a heating component, which includes a heating plate fixedly connected to the slider. The heating plate has a placement groove, in which a heating wire is placed, and heat dissipation holes are provided on the heating plate.

[0018] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are as follows: First, the operator starts the heating wire, which heats the bottom of the heating plate. Then, the moving component moves the heating component, so that the bottom of the heating plate comes into contact with the surface of the solar photovoltaic panel, melting the ice on the surface of the solar photovoltaic panel, making it easier for the snow removal component to remove the ice or snow from the surface of the solar photovoltaic panel.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] In this invention, the operator starts the first drive motor, and the output end of the first drive motor drives the rotating shaft and the first bevel gear to rotate, so that the first bevel gear drives the second bevel gear and the screw to rotate. Since the slider is threadedly connected to the screw, the screw can drive the slider to move within the fixed block, so that the slider can drive the heating component to move. The second drive motor is then started, and the second drive motor drives the rotating rod and the support rod to rotate. Through the cooperation of the telescopic rod, the scraper and the telescopic spring, the pressure between the scraper and the surface of the solar photovoltaic panel can be adjusted, thereby enhancing the snow removal effect on the surface of the solar photovoltaic panel.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a technical solution: a snow removal device for the surface of a solar photovoltaic panel, including a solar photovoltaic panel 1, a movable component 2 disposed on the solar photovoltaic panel 1, and a snow removal component 3 disposed on the movable component 2;

[0032] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the moving component 2 includes a fixed block 21, a rotating shaft 23 rotatably connected to the fixed block 21, a first bevel gear 24 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 23, a second bevel gear 25 meshing with the first bevel gear 24, a screw 26 fixedly connected to the second bevel gear 25, a slider 27 threadedly connected to the screw 26, and a groove 28 provided on the fixed block 21.

[0033] like Figures 1-3As shown, the snow removal assembly 3 includes a rotating rod 32, a support rod 33 fixedly connected to the rotating rod 32, a limit block 34 fixedly connected to the support rod 33, a telescopic rod 35 fixedly connected inside the limit block 34, a scraper 36 fixedly connected to the telescopic rod 35, and a telescopic spring 37 provided on the telescopic rod 35. When the operator starts the first drive motor 22, the output end of the motor drives the rotating shaft 23 and the first bevel gear 24 to rotate. This action causes the first bevel gear 24 to drive the second bevel gear 25, which meshes with it, to rotate, thereby causing the screw 26 to rotate accordingly. Since the slider 27 is threadedly connected to the screw 26, when the screw 26 rotates, it can push the slider 27 to move along the inside of the fixed block 21. This linear motion is converted into linear motion. The position adjustment of the snow removal component 3 allows it to change position as needed to optimize the snow removal effect. At the same time, the second drive motor 31 is activated. This motor is responsible for driving the rotating rod 32 and its support rod 33 to rotate. With the use of the telescopic rod 35, scraper 36 and telescopic spring 37, the pressure applied by the scraper 36 to the surface of the solar photovoltaic panel 1 can be flexibly adjusted. This adjustability not only helps to adapt to different thicknesses of snow accumulation, but also ensures that even on relatively fragile or sensitive materials, a good removal effect can be achieved without causing damage. In this way, the entire system achieves more efficient and gentle removal of snow and ice accumulated on the solar panel, ensuring long-term stable operation of the equipment while improving energy conversion efficiency.

[0034] The above solutions also have the problem of not being able to quickly remove ice when it forms on the surface of the solar photovoltaic panel 1. Figures 1-2 As shown: A fixed block 21 is fixedly connected to a solar photovoltaic panel 1. A first drive motor 22 is installed on the fixed block 21, and a rotating shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first drive motor 22. Since the fixed block 21 is fixedly connected to the solar photovoltaic panel 1, the solar photovoltaic panel 1 can support and fix the fixed block 21. Since the first drive motor 22 is installed on the fixed block 21, and the rotating shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first drive motor 22, starting the first drive motor 22 will drive the rotating shaft 23 to rotate. A screw 26 is rotatably connected to the fixed block 21, and a slider 27 is slidably connected to the slide groove 28. Since the screw 26 is rotatably connected to the fixed block 21, the fixed block 21 can support and limit the rotation of the screw 26 when it rotates. Since the slider 27 is slidably connected to the slide groove 28, the slide groove 28 can limit the movement of the slider 27 when it moves.

[0035] like Figures 1-3As shown, a second drive motor 31 is mounted on the slider 27, and a rotating rod 32 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second drive motor 31. Because the second drive motor 31 is mounted on the slider 27 and the rotating rod 32 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second drive motor 31, starting the second drive motor 31 will cause the output end of the second drive motor 31 to drive the rotating rod 32 to rotate. The scraper 36 is slidably connected within the limiting block 34, and one end of the telescopic spring 37 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 34, while the other end of the telescopic spring 37 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 34. The scraper 36 is fixedly connected to the scraper 36. Since the scraper 36 is slidably connected to the limiting block 34, the limiting block 34 can limit the scraper 36. Since one end of the telescopic spring 37 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 34 and the other end of the telescopic spring 37 is fixedly connected to the scraper 36, the telescopic spring 37 can provide elastic force to the scraper 36. When the scraper 36 comes into contact with the surface of the solar photovoltaic panel 1, it can play a buffering role and prevent the snow removal component 3 from damaging the solar photovoltaic panel 1 when removing snow from the surface of the solar photovoltaic panel 1.

[0036] like Figures 1-2 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the moving component 2 is equipped with a heating component 4, which includes a heating plate 41. The heating plate 41 is fixedly connected to the slider 27. The heating plate 41 has a placement groove 42, and a heating wire 43 is placed in the placement groove 42. The heating plate 41 has heat dissipation holes 44. First, the operator starts the heating wire 43, which heats the bottom of the heating plate 41. Then, the moving component 2 moves the heating component 4, so that the bottom of the heating plate 41 contacts the surface of the solar photovoltaic panel 1, melting the ice on the surface of the solar photovoltaic panel 1, making it easier for the snow removal component 3 to remove the ice or snow from the surface of the solar photovoltaic panel 1.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] like Figures 1-4As shown, the operator first activates the heating wire 43, which heats the bottom of the heating plate 41, causing it to contact the surface of the solar photovoltaic panel 1. This melts the ice on the surface of the solar photovoltaic panel 1, making it easier for the snow removal assembly 3 to remove the ice or snow. Then, the first drive motor 22 is activated. The output of this motor drives the rotating shaft 23 and the first bevel gear 24 to rotate. This action causes the first bevel gear 24 to drive the meshing second bevel gear 25 to rotate, which in turn causes the screw 26 to rotate. Since the slider 27 is threadedly connected to the screw 26, when the screw 26 rotates... It can push the slider 27 to move along the inside of the fixed block 21. This linear motion is converted into position adjustment of the snow removal component 3, allowing it to change position as needed to optimize the snow removal effect. At the same time, the second drive motor 31 is activated. This motor is responsible for driving the rotating rod 32 and its support rod 33 to rotate. With the use of the telescopic rod 35, scraper 36 and telescopic spring 37, the pressure applied by the scraper 36 to the surface of the solar photovoltaic panel 1 can be flexibly adjusted. This adjustability not only helps to adapt to different thicknesses of snow accumulation, but also ensures that even on relatively fragile or sensitive materials, a good removal effect can be achieved without causing damage.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
