[0002] Photovoltaic power stations are mostly located in remote areas such as the Gobi Desert, desert regions, or mountainous areas, where conditions are harsh. These power stations primarily consist of a large number of photovoltaic panels, which are widely distributed. Photovoltaic panels require a certain level of surface cleanliness to achieve high power generation efficiency. However, over long-term use, bird droppings, dust, leaves, and other debris may accumulate on the panels, obstructing their surface and affecting their power generation function. Furthermore, photovoltaic power stations have a limited number of maintenance personnel, resulting in significant operational and maintenance challenges. Currently, most photovoltaic power stations use water cleaning trucks for cleaning. However, these trucks often have only simple single-hole designs, leading to low water pressure and uneven water flow. This makes it difficult to thoroughly clean stubborn, solidified bird droppings.

[0023] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides a shower-type brush structure that can be used on photovoltaic panels, including a brush body 2 and a brush connector 1. The brush body 2 has a mounting hole on its top, and the brush connector 1 is fixedly connected to the brush body 2 in the mounting hole by a fixing device 5. A water inlet 6 is provided on the top of the brush connector 1, and a water inlet 6 can be connected to an external water pipe. The bottom of the brush body 2 has multiple water outlets 4. The cleaning action is performed by rotating the brush body 2.

[0025] In this embodiment, by setting multiple water outlets 4 and utilizing the centrifugal force generated when the brush body 2 rotates, cleaning water flows out from the water outlets 4, creating a shower effect and forming a large water spray area, thus improving the uniformity of the water flow. Simultaneously, the centrifugal force also provides a certain pressure to the water. Due to the characteristics of photovoltaic panels, high-pressure cleaning water cannot be used to avoid damage. The shower-style brush structure provided in this embodiment provides sufficient water pressure for cleaning without damaging the photovoltaic panels.

[0026] The shape of the water outlet 4 can be set as any one or any combination of annular, round, square, conical, cylindrical, and irregularly shaped holes, depending on different needs. Furthermore, the arrangement of the water outlet 4 at the bottom of the brush body 2 can be any one of the following: uniform annular arrangement, uniform row and column arrangement, or random distribution. For example... Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the water outlet 4 with an annular opening and uniformly arranged in a ring is used as an example for explanation.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the upper surface of the brush plate connector 1 is higher than the top of the brush plate body 2, and the lower surface of the brush plate connector 1 contacts the mounting hole. That is, the upper surface of the brush plate connector 1 protrudes from the brush plate body 2. A water inlet 6 is provided at the top of the upper surface of the brush plate connector 1, requiring an external water pipe and an external drive shaft; therefore, the top of the brush plate connector 1 is higher than the brush plate body 2. The upper surface of the brush plate connector 1 has a curved structure. Using a curved upper surface avoids concave structures, making it less likely for water, dust, or other foreign matter to remain on its surface, facilitating cleaning. The upper surface of the brush plate connector 1 can be made of stainless steel, hard plastic, or other durable materials.

[0028] like Figure 2As shown, the lower surface of the brush disc connector 1 is fixed inside the brush disc body 2 by a fixing device 5, including but not limited to bolts. The fixing device 5 is arranged around the water outlet 4, and after installation, the fixing device 5 is at the same level as or below the water outlet 4 to prevent the protruding fixing device 5 from damaging the photovoltaic panel to be cleaned. Specifically, as... Figure 3 As shown, a water storage cavity is formed between the brush plate connector 1 and the brush plate body 2, and the water storage cavity connects the water inlet 6 and the water outlet 4. Cleaning water flows into the water storage cavity through the water inlet 6 and then flows out through the water outlet 4. The water storage cavity can make the water flow rate and water pressure more stable, resulting in more uniform water output. Figure 3 As shown, the water outlet 4 and the water flow channel 7 make the water flow more evenly. At the same time, the water storage chamber can rectify the water flowing into the water storage chamber.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, multiple bundles of brushes 3 are arranged in a ring-shaped, uniform arrangement at the bottom of the brush body 2, and all bundles of brushes 3 are located on the side away from the water outlet 4. The brushes 3 can be fixed to the bottom of the brush body 2 by planting. The brushes 3 can also be detachably attached to the bottom of the brush body 2 for easy replacement later. Figure 2 As shown, the brushes 3 are all positioned on the side away from the water outlet 4, forming a circle around the water outlet 4, and are concentric circles with the circle of the water outlet 4. This arrangement allows the water flow from the water outlet 4 to reach the entire brush 3, which can better wet the brush 3 and facilitate cleaning.

[0030] In this embodiment, multiple brush strips (not shown in the figure) can be provided at the bottom of the brush body 2. The multiple brush strips are arranged in a ring and are all located on the side away from the water outlet 4. Specifically, the brush strips can be evenly distributed among the bristles 3. In use, water is injected into the water storage chamber through the water inlet 6. As the brush body 2 rotates, water will continuously flow out of the water outlet 4. The cleaning water comes into contact with foreign objects on the photovoltaic panel and wets the bristles 3 on the brush body 2. When the bristles 3 come into contact with foreign objects on the photovoltaic panel, the bristles 3 will clean the foreign objects on the photovoltaic panel, performing soft removal. When the brush strips come into contact with foreign objects on the photovoltaic panel, the brush strips will scrape off the foreign objects on the photovoltaic panel, performing hard scraping.

[0031] This embodiment also provides a cleaning device, which includes the shower head brush structure described in the above embodiment, a driving device, and a driving shaft. The driving device is connected to the driving shaft, and the driving shaft is connected to the shower head brush structure. The driving device drives the shower head brush structure to rotate via the driving shaft to perform a cleaning action. The driving shaft is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the brush head connector 1 of the shower head brush structure.

[0032] When the cleaning device is in use, the drive device drives the drive shaft to rotate, thereby driving the shower-type brush disc structure to rotate. The drive device can control its own rotation speed to control the rotation speed of the shower-type brush disc structure. At the same time, water is injected into the shower-type brush disc structure through the water inlet 4 under the centrifugal force of the rotating shower-type brush disc structure, simultaneously wetting the brushes 3 on the brush disc body 2. The brushes 3 and the brush blades clean the photovoltaic panel while rotating.

[0033] The shower-style brush plate structure and cleaning device provided in this embodiment have multiple water outlets 4 at the bottom of the brush plate body 2. When the brush plate body 2 rotates to perform the cleaning action, the centrifugal force of the rotation can create a shower effect, giving the water a certain pressure and improving the uniformity of the water flow. This results in a better cleaning effect on the photovoltaic panels, and the water pressure will not damage the photovoltaic panels. At the same time, the upper surface of the brush plate connector 1 is designed with a curved structure, which makes it difficult for water, dust or other foreign objects to remain on its surface, making it easy to clean.

[0034] Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described, those skilled in the art, upon learning the basic inventive concept, can make other changes and modifications to these embodiments. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including both the preferred embodiments and all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention. Finally, it should be noted that in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or terminal device that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or terminal device.
