Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of prefabricated substations, specifically relating to a novel photovoltaic new energy energy-saving prefabricated substation. Background Technology
[0002] A prefabricated substation is a type of electrical equipment that integrates components such as transformers, switchgear, protection and control equipment, and monitoring equipment into a single enclosed enclosure. A photovoltaic (PV) new energy energy-saving prefabricated substation combines a photovoltaic power generation system with a prefabricated substation, providing a more efficient and energy-saving power supply compared to traditional prefabricated substations. The principle of a PV new energy energy-saving prefabricated substation is to use photovoltaic panels to convert solar energy into electrical energy and convert high-voltage direct current into low-voltage alternating current to meet the power grid's demand and achieve the utilization of clean energy.
[0003] However, since photovoltaic panels are usually installed on the top of prefabricated substations, they are exposed to sunlight for a long time and may be covered by pollutants such as dust, dirt, and bird droppings, which can reduce the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic modules. Manual cleaning is not only costly and inefficient, but may also leave scratches or cracks on the surface of the photovoltaic panels due to uneven force or the use of unsuitable cleaning tools. In addition, improper operation can also increase the risk of electric shock. Therefore, a new type of photovoltaic energy-saving prefabricated substation is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a novel photovoltaic new energy energy-saving box-type substation to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a novel photovoltaic new energy energy-saving box-type substation, comprising:
[0006] The main body of the equipment includes a housing and two photovoltaic panels. The two photovoltaic panels are installed parallel to each other on the upper surface of the top of the housing. The housing has a sliding groove.
[0007] A cleaning assembly includes a slider, a connecting shaft, and a cleaning roller. The slider is slidably disposed in the groove, the connecting shaft connects the slider and the cleaning roller, and the cleaning roller is attached to the upper surface of the photovoltaic panel.
[0008] A conveying assembly, which is installed in the housing.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, both the chute and the cleaning assembly are provided in twos. The conveying assembly includes a conveyor pulley, a conveyor belt, and a conveyor motor. The slider is connected to the conveyor belt. There are two conveyor pulleys, which are rotatably mounted on the lower surface of the top of the housing. The conveyor belt is connected to the two conveyor pulleys. The conveyor motor is mounted on the housing, and the output shaft of the conveyor motor is connected to the conveyor pulleys.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the cleaning assembly further includes a rotating component, one end of which is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft, and the cleaning roller is rotatably mounted on the rotating component.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the cleaning assembly further includes a return spring connected to the connecting shaft and the rotating member.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the main body of the equipment also includes a drainage plate, which is installed on the top of the box and located below the slide groove, and the drainage plate is configured in a V-shape.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the main body of the device further includes multiple drainage holes, which are spaced apart on opposite sides of the housing and located above the drainage plate.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] This invention features a cleaning component comprising a slider, a connecting shaft, and a cleaning roller. The slider is slidably mounted in a chute, and the connecting shaft connects the slider and the cleaning roller. The cleaning roller is attached to the upper surface of the photovoltaic panel. A conveying component is also included, mounted on a housing. When impurities need to be cleaned from the upper surface of the photovoltaic panel mounted at the top of the housing, the cleaning roller, connected to the slider by the connecting shaft, moves horizontally and rolls around its own axis to clean the impurities from the upper surface of the photovoltaic panel. This eliminates the need for manual cleaning, improves the cleaning effect, and reduces the risk of electric shock to personnel.
[0016] This utility model features a drainage plate installed at the top of the housing and positioned below a sliding groove. The drainage plate is V-shaped. Since the sliding groove extends through the upper and lower surfaces of the housing, after rainy weather, rainwater flows through the sliding groove and, under the influence of gravity, passes through the inclined surface of the drainage plate and is then discharged through the drainage holes. This prevents rainwater from entering the housing and causing short circuits in electrical equipment, thus ensuring the normal operation and service life of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a novel photovoltaic new energy energy-saving box-type substation, comprising:
[0026] The main body of the equipment 1 includes a box 11 and two photovoltaic panels 12. The two photovoltaic panels 12 are installed parallel to each other on the upper surface of the top of the box 11. The box 11 has a sliding groove 111.
[0027] Cleaning component 2 includes a slider 21, a connecting shaft 22 and a cleaning roller 23. The slider 21 is slidably disposed in the groove 111, the connecting shaft 22 is connected to the slider 21 and the cleaning roller 23, and the cleaning roller 23 is attached to the upper surface of the photovoltaic panel 12.
[0028] Conveying component 3 is installed in housing 11;
[0029] Two slides 111 and two cleaning components 2 are provided. The conveying component 3 includes a conveyor pulley 31, a conveyor belt 32 and a conveyor motor 33. The slider 21 is connected to the conveyor belt 32. Two conveyor pulleys 31 are provided. The two conveyor pulleys 31 are rotatably mounted on the lower surface of the top of the box 11. The conveyor belt 32 is connected to the two conveyor pulleys 31. The conveyor motor 33 is mounted on the box 11. The output shaft of the conveyor motor 33 is connected to the conveyor pulleys 31.
[0030] The cleaning assembly 2 also includes a rotating member 24, one end of which is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 22, and the cleaning roller 23 is rotatably mounted on the rotating member 24;
[0031] The cleaning assembly 2 also includes a return spring 25, which is connected to the connecting shaft 22 and the rotating member 24;
[0032] The main body of the equipment 1 also includes a drainage plate 13, which is installed on the top of the box 11 and located below the slide 111. The drainage plate 13 is V-shaped.
[0033] The main body of the equipment 1 also includes drainage holes 14. Multiple drainage holes 14 are provided and are distributed at intervals on opposite sides of the housing 11, and the drainage holes 14 are located above the drainage plate 13.
[0034] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0035] When the photovoltaic panel 12 installed at the top of the housing 11 has leaves, dust and other impurities on its surface and needs to be cleaned, the conveyor motor 33 drives one of the conveyor pulleys 31 to rotate, so that the other conveyor pulley 31 and the conveyor belt 32 connected between the two conveyor pulleys 31 also rotate. The rotating conveyor belt 32 drives two sliders 21 to move in opposite directions in the slide groove 111. In this way, the cleaning roller 23 connected to the slider 21 by the connecting shaft 22 is in contact with the photovoltaic panel 12 and moves horizontally and rolls around its own axis to clean the impurities on the surface of the photovoltaic panel 12. No manual cleaning is required, which improves the cleaning effect, reduces the risk of electric shock to personnel and improves the automation level of the equipment.
[0036] When the upper surface of the photovoltaic panel 12 is clean and does not require cleaning, the two sliders 21 move to the two ends of the slide groove 111 respectively. Under the action of the return spring 25, the rotating part 24 and the cleaning roller 23 mounted on the rotating part 24 rotate towards the upper surface of the housing 11 until the cleaning roller 23 disengages from the upper surface of the photovoltaic panel 12 and contacts the upper surface of the housing 11. Then, the two sliders 21 continue to drive the two rotating parts 24 and the cleaning roller 23 to move away from the two ends of the slide groove 111, so that the rotating part 24 and the cleaning roller 23 move into the space between the housing 11 and the photovoltaic panel 12, thereby serving the purpose of storing the idle cleaning roller 23.
[0037] It is worth mentioning that since the chute 111 runs through the upper and lower surfaces of the top of the housing 11, after rainy weather, rainwater passes through the chute 111 and, under the action of gravity, flows through the inclined surface of the drainage plate 13 and then through the drainage hole 14 to avoid rainwater entering the interior of the housing 11 and causing short circuits in electrical equipment, thus ensuring the normal operation and service life of the equipment.
[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
